Writers, Never Give Up: by guest blogger Ron Katz
I lead a support group for people who are unemployed. I received an e-mail from a member of my the group last week. It said, in essence, "I give up. I don't know what to do anymore to find a job. Nothing is working."
I understand the paralysis and frustration he's feeling. Life feels out of control. At our meetings we discuss strategy on how to gain control of an uncontrollable situation, and different ways of coping.
One person focuses on making sure she does at least one thing, takes one step forward, each day. Invariably one step leads to another and she finds that she's accomplished a lot towards her goal each day. But she finds that if she looks at the situation in its entirety she will feel overwhelmed and depressed. So she focuses on what's the one next thing she needs to do. And then she does it.
Another member creates separation. He spends his mornings on the computer. He spends his afternoons on the phone or going to meet people. People with job leads, people in his network, he gets out there. He knows he needs human contact to keep his spirits up. In the evening he steps away from his job search and focuses on his family. Just as when he had a job to go to every day, the evening is family time. This way he can approach the next day refreshed, reinvigorated, and reminded of why he must keep looking.
Writing can be lonely, frustrating, and at times seemingly pointless. I know, I've been there.
"I don't know what to say."
"I'll never finish this."
"I'll never get this published."
And the worst of all, "Maybe it's not good." I've encountered all these demons.
But then I remind myself what I heard in a seminar on writing delivered by Sam Horn. If there is one person who might benefit from what you have to say then you have a responsibility to write. You owe it to that one person. And if there is one person, there are more. Possibly many more. You owe it to them to keep writing. Do one thing. Write one page, one paragraph, hell, one sentence. Do something, but don't give up.
The person who sent me the e-mail had skipped that week's meeting. I know that sometimes going to a meeting, or seemingly doing anything, seems pointless. But sometimes being with people, especially people who are going through the same things you are, is a tonic in itself. Get in touch with people in your support network if you feel like giving up.
If you're a writer, find a writing buddy. I've done that. Contact another writer and talk with someone who understands what you're going through. Schedule times to talk so you have something to look forward to. Plus if you know you're going to speak with someone about what you're writing, you're more likely to have written so you have something to talk about! Just knowing that you have that appointment will help you to focus. Take these steps before you sit down to write or meet with a publisher or an editor because you will be in a better frame of mind to present yourself or whatever it is you're setting out to accomplish.
Success comes in many forms. Continuing to write when you feel you can't is a success. Making a call to someone when you don't feel like talking is a success. Pouring yourself onto the page is a success.
Giving up is not an option. You are only one "Yes" from your next success.

He writes, speaks, and blogs about job search and the inanities of working in today's workplace.

Easy Appetizer: Clams and Mussels on the Grill
Need to give people something to munch on while dinner is grilling? This couldn't be simpler — and it takes less than 10 minutes...
Once the grill is hot, you scatter on a bunch of fresh, clean clams or mussels. Put the top on the grill. Wait about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how big your mollusks are.
When the shells have popped open, they're finished (simple as that). Pile them into a bucket, set them on the table with some melted herb butter for dipping, hand your friends small forks, and perhaps offer a cold beer.
Well done.
Anyone have some more complicated methods for grilling clams or mussels? What's your secret?

It took me much longer to open clams on the grill. Maybe the grill wasn't hot enough. I put a spicy butter sauce from bon appetit on them and they were delicious.
When we do mussels at the beach (using a public grill) we bring minced garlic, beer (which we already were going to bring) and throw them on the grill too. The beer steams the mussels so they cool much faster.
Then pour a little olive oil (or whatever sauce you prefer) into some mussel shells and you have yourselves some instant mini dipping bowls!
Goodness, this is making my mouth water.
Oh, make sure you bring bread for mopping up juices.

I want to say something to all the kids that read my blog.
This photo was taken in November of 2006. I was seventeen years old and lived with my dad at a house he no longer owns.
It is 2011 and there isn't a single shred of life from 2006 that still exists. I don't live in the same house. I don't drive the same car. I don't date the same girl. I don't live in the same town. I don't worry about the same things.
Everything you're worrying about right now will be made irrelevant with time. Hang in there. Don't give up. Learn to love yourself and don't put your happiness into another human being. Ever. If somebody could have helped me realize this, I could have spent my time more productively. Do what makes you happy and you'll find something worth the while.
Seriously, trust me on this one. Just let it all go. Right here. Right now. That's all you can do. It's all you'll ever be able to do.
This photo is a nice memory. That's all it is. Once you realize that you aren't part of a storyline, you are boundless.

Until I read the article yesterday and the analyst thinks it can go down to $50. !!!
The article scared me! Any opinions?
Is that why it goes up every day?
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Market Perform and $88 price target?
Yahoo has a $98 price target. EPS of 9.83 and PE of 8.87.
I think it will outperform the market and go to 98.
Anybody else have any opinions. Which brewery has the most upside?
I just checked the historical prices. This was $11 in april 2009? Now it's $85.
Can this go up like that again in the next 5 years??
I already bought it today and used all the money! I should have bought less shares earlier. Oh well!!
Back in aug 11 when it went to 36.30 it bounced back to 41 in about 5 trading days.
I just bought today at 37.72. I'm pst because I saw it go under 37, but I was in EWZ and waiting for it to
go back up, so I could buy MMLP under 37. I hope it goes back to 39.00 Monday!!!
Well what changed from yesterday to today?
Sentiment: Buy
Market is down and this is up.!! Does anybody know what this trades on?
Besides the fact that I sold in the morning because it's so volatile., and I never know which way it will go.
What is wrong with this? Yesterday it was up when the dow was down. Today it's down and the market
is up!! Does anyone have any explanation? very frustrating.
This was up yesterday when the dow was down 100. Can't it go to 58 today?
What downgrade? I didn't see any downgrade! Maybe this will go back up into the earnings.
I'm not in this today. I like it,but when is it going to stop going down?
I just bought CHK today. Can it go back to 27.00 soon? It looks good today on a down market.
I thought that was good news. Why is this down more than usual? Markets aren't down that much.
I was in STZ and sold this morning at 86.74. I bought BP on the the drop and now I'm in WFM and that's
not doing so great either.
Back up to 59 again!!
I thought this was on it's way back up? Does it always drop 3.00 ?
By the price drop in premarket , looks like I was right. I sold yesterday. I was in it because I thought
they would get bought, now I'm not so sure.
The way I read it is The news says "to fend off Pfizer bid"

Volvo's new C70 coupe cabrio has been caught completely in the buff by a loyal member of the Swedespeed internet forum. This facelifted version of the sporty two door is not supposed to be unveiled until the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, so seeing one undisguised in its natural habitat is quite a treat.
The similarities between the exterior of the S60 Concept car and the next generation C70 are clearly visible. From this unobstructed view we can see that the C70 features a redesigned front bumper, a larger grill, new headlights and much more fluid lines. From the back you can see that Volvo is taking pride in their new design just by how large they wrote their name across the boot.

The 3 Samurai - My First attempt at a Mini RPG, Need help with Eventing, Dialogue Editing & Game Testing
Dec 25 2011, 11:43 PM
Post #1

Alignment: Unaligned
[The 3 Samurai]
Story :
1 > The Creation of the Gods :
A Long time ago, Ancient Gods of Japan created the first two human beings. named them
Izanagi and Izanami. They were the first people on the continent of Japan.
Izanagi and Izanami lived in harmony with nature, They lived happily with their
Many children. Izanami once happened to wander in the nearby Kushiro forests to fetch some
firewood and helped a Dragon that was injured by treating it with kindness.
This was no ordinary dragon, it was an evil dragon that had been killing Beasts all across
the land and devouring Innocent animals nearby for food. However, In a weird Irony of fate,
The dragon grew fond of Izanagi and refused to leave her and stayed with her, becoming her
Companion. Izanagi named the dragon Ryujin and always met him when she went to the Forests.
2> A Sad turn of Events :
Izanagi after many years passed away and her soul had to wander the deepest parts of the
Underworld. Dragons were Immortal beings and never died of old age, Izanagi's death was such a shock
To the dragon that it couldn't accept the fact that Izanagi had died and went on a rampage killing all
Humans and Animals that ever dared to step near Kushiro in a fit of rage.
Several years passed and Izanagi's descendants avoided heading to the Cursed forest where
the Dragon used to devour anyone mercilessly, The whole place had been turned into a wasteland.
1700 Years later, The Emperor of Kyoto was looking to expand his Kingdom to North,
But the Dragon lay in his way of expansion. A Troop of Mercenaries were hired by the Emperor
of Kyoto to put an end to the Dragon which was haunting the Forests of Kushiro.
3> The Batte at Kushiro - Victory at Last :
These Five Mercenaries were no ordinary men, They were the Strongest and Bravest Warriors
of their day. The Five Mercenaries successfully managed to Trap and seal the Dragon after three
days of Intense Battle, Losing three of their own men.
The Brave Mercenaries courageously took a last stand and lured the Dragon into the Lava Caverns
Below Kushiro Forests and Trapped him there. The Battle was won but at a high cost - Three of their
Fellow comrades were dead and th Dragon still was alive trapped in the Caverns below Kushiro Forests.
This incident was long forgotten with time and thousands of years had passed, Many cities were
Built and Izanagi's descendants who were now numerous built a new City and a Castle that stood directly
Above the Entrance where the Dragon was sealed.
4> The Destiny awaits - Is Rei really the Chosen one ? :
Now after almost 3000 Years, The Dragon was set free by a shere accident. The Situation across
Kushiro turned dire again as the Dragon this time used it's Powers to summon allies to it's aid
using Dark Magic. Now the whole of Japan was under Siege again by the Wrath of the Dragon Ryujin.
Kushiro Castle was quickly invaded and devoured by the forces of darkness, It's inhabitants
Killed except for a few that managed to Flee to nearby cities and spread the word.
Now when it seems that there is no hope of stopping the Dragon, A Young Girl by the name of
Rei, who was the Direct descendant of Izanagi began to think of her Future. A Prophecy echoed
from the Heavens throughout the land predicting that the Dragon would be stopped soon by
3 Legendary Samurai who would slay the Dragon. Rei being just a Girl of 16 dreamt of this
Prophecy and woke up from her bed, startled one day.
Is Rei the real Chosen one ? Will she be able to Gather 2 other Samurai that help her out on
Her journey to Slay the dragon and bring peace to her Nation ?
The Adventure awaits as you Lead Rei and her friends to explore the Whole Continent of Japan.
Gameplay :
Screenshots of the World Map :
Game Information :
This is not a Typical Role playing Game where you wander across many maps,
Most of the gameplay takes place on a 30 X 35 Continental Map, Even though there
exists 7 other Bonus Mini maps like your Home, Caverns, Dungeons etc. I decided to stick with
A Single Map because i'm not really good at mapping and I find asking someone to map for me a
Big ordeal that would take a long time and effort.
Levelling is quite a challenge yet there exists Scrolls that grant you a whole Level hidden in
many Maps. The Max Level Cap is 20. The Game utilizes Kaduki Version of the Turn Based
Tankentai Battle System.
You wander around 5 Different Towns on the whole map, Encountering dangerous monsters, People
That may Reward you for helping them. You start South of Japan and head North towards Kushiro
Castle. Don't expect too many quests, This is mostly a Grind and Slash Game that focuses very
Less on Questing or a Deeply Involved Storyline.
Characters :
Rei - The Samurai
Rei is a 16 year old silent but a wise girl that hopes to be a Good Samurai. She was orphaned
As a kid and her Father looked after her for a while. But after her father passed away, She now lives
all by herself in her little House in Nabeoka. She hopes to seek an adventure and ventures out hoping
to fulfill the Prophecy after she dreamt of it one day.
Azuki - The Fighter
A Proud 17 year old Samurai girl that refuses to fight like all the other Samurai. Instead,
She chooses to Fight with Daggers and proudly calls herself a Samurai. Azuki is most often a brash,
annoying and always takes the lead in any situation but she grows fond of Rei ever since she
meets her, Azuki also loves to drink a lot and eats like a hog.
She behaves like a child and loves to annoy Natsuki often, calling her a Samurai and even considers
Her to be one.
Natsuko - The Sorcerer
A Direct Descendant of one of the Mercenaries that sealed the Dragon, Natsuki could be called
A Samurai, Only by her bloodline but she specializes in Sorcery and Magic. She was found abandoned
After most of her village along with her parents perished in a Forest fire.
Natsuki was brought up by her Master, Grand Mage Nazaron a skilled Sorcerer. He taught her the ways of Magic.
Azuki considers Natsuki a Samurai which annoys Natsuki, who exclaims immediately that she is but a Sorcerer
and not a Samurai. Natsuki's age is unknown but seems to be the oldest and wisest in the Group.
Unique Features :
1> Magatama :
Magatama are fashionable Earrings that are worn by everyone in this Mysterious Continent.
A Magatama is a rare equppable Item that grants it's user multiple beneficial Bonuses. Legend has it that
There exists 6 Different kinds of Magatama, Each Superior to another and their Names correspond to the
Names of Mythical Animals - Turtle, Bear, Dragon, Tiger, Jaguar & Crane.
Magatama can be crafted at an NPC, Requires Magatama Essence and a Crafting Scroll.
2> Affinity System :
Affinity is a unique system where after reaching lv 13, every character can upgrade their Skills
And choose to be one among the 3 Affinities - Senshi, Yasha or Zhen. All the skills get drastically upgraded
By choosing a certain affinity.
A Player can only pick 1 affinity and this decision cannot be changed anytime in game.
Affinities grant the Player 1 Unique Skill which has a long cool down but is quite Powerful.
3> Dungeon Raid System :
While Dungeon Equipment aren't essential, They surely make the Gameplay
exponentially easier. There exists a Dungeon called Bonegrave where you can further choose to
Run 3 Different Dungeons to hunt for Legendary Gear - Armor, Weapons and Headgear.
You can repeataedly run these dungeons in search of Blueprints which enable you to craft these
Legendary Gear at the Bone grave Furnace.
4> Treasure Chests & Ancient Scrolls -
There are many different Treasure Chests in the game that
Give you Money, Gems, Rare Items, Recovery Potions or Magatama. Most of the Tresure Chests are
Found in Dungeons, While some can be opened repeatedly and some can be opened only once.
Ancient Scrolls are scrolls that instantly level you by a Level when you Read them.
These are generally located at Hidden Places, But surely worth the find.
Game Progress :
The Game has been completed fully, However, I feel the Game is Still in it's infancy and needs a lot of Gametesting, Opening and Endgame Eventing, Editing of Dialogues, Suggestions of changing a few stuff, Addition of Scripts etc.
This is the reason I won't be releasing a Demo for everyone since it still might have a few bugs.
I'm looking for Help with :
- A Person to help with Game Dialogues (English isn't my First Language ~_~')
- A Person good with Eventing to help event a few Cut Scenes in the Game
- A few Gametesters to test the Current version of the game (Game may have Bugs)
Please Note :
I'm only a Newbie at RPG Maker and not good at all with Mapping, and this is supposed to be
My First Complete Game, So don't expect my game to be too Good, It is somewhat lacking in
certain aspects, I'll glady accept any Suggestions or Advise to make it better ^^
Game Working Time :
Well, I would just expect people to help me whenever possible, There is no hurry since i'm already
Working on another game which is still in it's infancy and needs much more Effort. So, I expect you
To help me with this in or before 2 Weeks time, At a slow pace, Whenever you find time to help.
Anyone interested to help me with Game Dialogues, Eventing Cut Scenes or Game testing,
Please contact me on :

I was going through some old work and found this from 2003?! It holds up well for being 10+years old!
A beautiful reminder.
In another life, I designed the first-ever style guide for the soon-to-be well known Pinkalicious brand based on the wildly successful book for the Joester Loria Group. The creator's world of illustrations made for an inspirational treasure chest! These are just a few of my favorites.

Color Lessons: Decorating Wisdom from Past 'Room for Color' Contestants
Every fall on Apartment Therapy, color lovers from around the globe generously share the place that means the most to them, their home, with all of us during our annual Room for Color Contest, sponsored this year by Chip It! by Sherwin-Williams. In addition to seeing beautiful, unique spaces, we also have the privilege of learning from these color-confident contestants. Here is a look back at some lovely rooms, along with some words of wisdom from the residents who created them. Class is in session — enjoy!
Color Lesson (from room shown above): A fool-proof way to guarantee a harmonious color scheme.
Sara says: The simplest way to create a cohesive color scheme is to use distinct values of colors in a similar range of intensities. This allows you to create depth and harmony even if using several hues, because there will be enough separation between each hue to avoid a color clash. The other important factor is color balance. This room shares warm and cool elements, and the warm undertone of the charcoal in the paint color creates a cohesive tie to connect the warm and cool parts of the palette.

Color Lesson: Small room? Consider going dark.
Brenda says: Never be afraid of making a dark color the predominant feature. It surprises me how many people are so willing to go color crazy without any type of direction but squirm when they hear that someone has painted their walls black or any other dark color. Thinking that dark walls make a space look smaller is situational and completely depends on how the rest of the room is finished. Our small room was painted in a pale yellow when we moved in, and it felt like we were sitting in a tiny, dirty white box. After deciding to take the plunge into the opposite end of the spectrum, it feels incredibly large.

Color Lesson: Be flexible and experiment (just keep your receipts!).
Lisa says: If you have a favorite color or two, don't be scared to use them. Have fun and play with your colors in all shades. If your kid (or your partner or the voice in the back of your head) suggests a giant black and white striped rug (or some other crazy piece that seems to reflect her or his personality), buy it and see what happens. Once you have the big color (walls, rug, large furniture) in place, take your time with the accessories and don't be afraid to let something sit in the space a while before making a decision about it (keep the receipt)! Making mistakes and switching things up is such fun. Although this room sat empty the longest, it is now one of our favorites — its whimsical vibe and textured colors attract all of us. Our kids call this room the zebra room!

Color Lesson: Balance space visually with the power of color.
Joshua says: Use color to re-balance the proportions of a small room with high ceilings. The blue walls recede to make the room feel bigger; the white ceiling extension lowers the ceiling to help balance the space.

"Thinking that dark walls make a space look smaller is situational and completely depends on how the rest of the room is finished" I've heard this and seen it in action before. I'd really like to see instructions breaking down how to do it.
Agreed, saacnmama. Also, I always wonder where some of these pictures are taken. I love the top picture, but don't think the color would look good with the level of outdoor light where I Iive (if that makes any sense).
Fabulous photos! I am very much a monochrome sort, so didnt think I would enjoy these so much. I would also LOVE to know a bit more about the silver and cream table in the top photo, if anyone has ideas.
If in doubt, pick colors from something you love. Art, rugs, or fabric is a good start.
I'd love to know about complementing powerful wall color. I'm thinking of painting my bedroom a deep green - gray, sherwin Williams thunder gray actually, and need drapes.
My original idea was navy velvet, but I worry it might be too dark all around, so then maybe linen? A natural yellow linen to bring some light to the room?
Depends on what else is going on in your room. Do you have a big bed with wooden frame, padded headboard, just a bed frame? How large is the room, and how much light comes in through the windows? Two big wooden dresses? One small white one? And what kind of bed covering are you going for?
I actually think navy against deep green-grey would look AMAZING as long as the room gets plenty of light and you don't have a lot of large/dark furniture in there too.
After a year I finally took the leap and painted our bedroom a dark charcoal-navy. I LOVE it and wish I would have done it months ago.
I also love the top picture! I think most of the pieces in that room come from Restoration Hardware. I have a similar color in my dinning room.
There's tons of natural light and four windows to cover. The bed is an iron bed with an oiled bronze finish, and the dresser is a deep oak with a white marble top - so everything is dark except the linens which will be cream.
Im looking at matching night stands but those aren't nailed down yet. Basically, there's not much contrasting colors yet, though I plan on bringing in bronze, malachite, and weathered leather into it.
Sorry, I can't stand dark colours, they look awful to me. I'm sure some rooms do look great with dark colours, but they just never look bright enough for my liking...
Renting at the moment, and the office/computer room is painted a dark grey colour. It has small windows, the grey colour is awful and I swear the walls eat light!!! I am an artist and need good light to paint - there just isn't enough light in here. If we could paint the walls a lighter colour I think it would be so much better.
These are all good hints, but I agree that I would like more explanations for all of them. They could be entire posts!
One thing people don't mention much with the whole dark wall debate is how will the room be used? I don't think I could handle a dark bathroom - I need as much light as possible in there for getting ready early in the morning. The same goes for the kitchen -- I need light to see what I am doing. Rooms used for sleeping and movie watching make more sense.

The Michigan Wolverines vs. Iowa Hawkeyes live stream and TV schedule NCAA Basketball game is scheduled to tip at 2:00 EST, and the Hawkeyes know they need this game if they want a shot at a Big Ten title. It won't be easy though vs. a Michigan team that has played well on the road this season.
According to a Sportline report on Feb. 8, the 10th-ranked Wolverines will go for a season sweep of the regular-season series against No. 17 Iowa in Iowa City.
"There's a lot of reason for them to have some edge," said Michigan coach John Beilein, whose team has won at Michigan State and Wisconsin this season. "There's a championship trophy waiting for whoever can be the best in this league. If you're going to do this, you have to go and beat some really good teams."
After losing up-and-coming stars Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr. to the NBA, many experts thought the Wolverines would fall back a step or two this season. Michigan may miss their two leaders from last season, but they have shown that they have the depth and talent to make another run at a NCAA title.
Both teams come into today's key match-up at 17-5, but Michigan is 9-1 in the Big Ten Conference, while the Hawkeyes are 6-3.
Michigan has had the better of Iowa lately, as the Wolverines won 75-67 back on Jan. 22 in Ann Arbor, and they have beaten Iowa three of the last five times they have met.
Las Vegas odds makers have Iowa as the favorite today at -5, with the over/under number set at 155. Just the fact that Iowa is the favorite (despite losing their last two home games to Michigan State and Ohio State) shows how tough it is to win on the road in the Big Ten Conference. Iowa is tough as nails at home and will give the Wolverines all they can handle today in Iowa City.
The game can be seen locally and nationwide on ESPN and streaming live on WatchESPN.

My adopted daughter's first mother and I recently shared our story on the Internet radio show All Things Adoption. You can download the podcast here.
I woke up that morning paralyzed by fear and dread. It had been just under two months since my then foster daughter had moved into our house -- two intense months that had turned my life upside down. Two months of her almost-daily meltdowns: I'd been physically attacked; I'd been called a "f**king b**ch." I'd watched my biological daughter transform from a happy, open child, excited about getting a new sister, to an angry, cornered animal who believed her life had been ruined by the…Continue

My journey with adoption began before I was born. It was the 1960s and teenage pregnancy was still a hush-hush topic, shrouded in shame. "How could you do this to me?" -- that's what my biological grandmother said when she found out my birth mother was pregnant. Though my birth mother was an academic achiever, she was not allowed to graduate with her high school class because she was beginning to show. Instead, she was whisked into hiding in a nearby city, where she spent the next several…Continue

"Do you think you will search for your birth mother someday?" That's a question I was asked, in various forms, throughout my life.
For many years, I answered it automatically, without much thought. In my childhood years, the answer was, "Oh, yes, probably when I'm older" (in other words, that's a matter for a distant future that I can't even quite imagine yet). Then, in my teen years it became, "No. I have one mother already, and that's more than enough, thank you very much."…Continue

Meals on (really fast) wheels
NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon (right) and UGA student Camden Lowrance deliver meals to a family for Campus Kitchen. The four-time stock car racing champion visited campus in August as part of Drive to End Hunger, a campaign to raise awareness about older adult hunger. "I'm not Jeff Gordon today," he said. "I'm just here delivering this on behalf of Campus Kitchen." The program provides healthy meals to Athenians using fresh produce and collected excess food. The Drive to End Hunger was created by AARP and its foundation. In 2011 AARP became NASCAR's first cause-based primary sponsor, with the Drive to End Hunger featured on the No. 24 Chevrolet driven by Gordon.

I think if you use phpmailer you will help many people who has problem in submitting the form, displaying SENDING by clicking the submit button. In my case that has modified the ajax.php to phpmailer, maybe just a change in main-r9.js solve the problem. Can help us all with this upgrade?
Hello reflexsite,
Thanks for your message and recommendation! Please accept my apologies for the delay in my reply. I would be more than happy to implement the PHPMailer library in the Spark Template. However I must inform that the purpose of this great tool is mainly to handle HTML emails and attachments, which are not used by the Contact Form in the Spark Template. When it comes to simple text emails, the basic PHP
mail() function performs better as it is less complex.
In your specific case, your Web Hosting Provider requires you to use the PHPMailer library in order to send emails via a custom SMTP server, as they have disabled the internal PHP
mail() function. This is a very rare requirement, and replacing the default PHP mail method with the entire PHPMailer library might not be the best choice for everyone mainly because of the added complexity, for both performance and ease of configuration reasons.
Nevertheless, I am totally willing to assist you with the integration of the PHPMailer library on your installation! I have just replied to your previous message: please send me FTP credentials to your site and I will make sure that everything is working smoothly using the PHPMailer library.
I hope that you will find this information useful, and again please accept my apologies for my late reply! I look forward to your email, and please don't hesitate to contact me for anything else – I'll be more than happy to help! Best, Jonathan
JoNa – perhaps what I'm asking is outside the scope of your support, but it can't hurt to ask. I love the theme and I'm currently using it for our church's website and it looks great. All I want to do is add in a footer that would mimic the behavior of the header in the sense that it would always be visible. I've added code to the CSS file and what I believe to be the proper location in the index.html file but I cannot get a footer to work.This is my CSS code:
footer {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
background-color: #eee;
display: block;
z-index: 10;
footer section {
width: 960px;
display: block;
margin: 0px auto;
padding:12px 0 11px 0;
position: relative;
This is my implementation in the index.html file (outside the div main):

Test Test Test Test Test

Hello stjohnsord,
Thanks for your message! and sorry for the delay. That seems interesting, I have just tried your CSS and it appears to work for me
We would need to adjust the main viewport however. To do that you'll have to fix the height of your footer, let's say
100px, and then move the #main element 100px from the bottom:
#main { bottom: 100px; }
That should do it, if that's still not perfect then please share a link to your page so I can take a further look. Also I would recommend disabling the sticky footer for Mobile Devices.
I hope that helps, and please feel free to let me know if you need further assistance with this, I'll be happy to help Best, Jonathan
Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for the feedback. I believe I have correctly implemented your suggestions but I'm still not getting it to work. I reloaded the index.html file that came with the package, added the code there (thinking I may have messed something up in my version) but still to no avail.Here's my
#main declaration in the main-r9.css file:
#main { position: absolute; overflow-y: scroll; top:89px; left:0; bottom:100px; right:0; }and these are the
footer and
footer section declarations:
footer { position: fixed; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0; height: 100px; background-color: #eee; display: block; z-index: 10; } footer section { width: 960px; display: block; margin: 0px auto; padding:12px 0 11px 0; position: relative; }
and finally my implementation within the index.html file (included the closing
of the main viewport for reference):

Test Test Test Test Test

The website is www.stjohnsord.com and I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you have.
Hey Russ,
Thanks for the follow-up! I believe the issue is because your CSS is cached and therefore not reflected on the site. The CSS code you show me seems to be missing from: http://www.stjohnsord.com/min-merge-cache=css/skeleton-v1.1.css,flexslider-v1.8.css,main-r9.css,media-queries-r9.css,sprites-r7.css,theme-default-r6.css
To fix this you can either rename the file
main-r9.css to something like
main-r10.css (remember to also update the name in the HTML source), or more simply delete the "
cache" folder found in the "
static-server" directory. Once done make sure to clear the cache of your web browser (Control+Shift+Delete).
I hope that helps! In the future you might want to use the
index-nophp.html file to experiment with CSS as this version doesn't have any caching, and once you're certain about your code then put it live by renaming the CSS file or eventually clearing the cache manually
Brilliant! That did it. Thank you SO much for your time and support not to mention being so courteous and professional in doing so. Can't believe I overlooked something so simple !
Obviously I have made some significant changes to the original as some of your design just wasn't needed for our purposes, but I loved the color scheme, features and simplicity and I hope I have remained faithful to your original intent.
Again, I greatly appreciate you're willingness to help me out with this!
Awesome! I'm glad that I was able to help! Congrats about your customization, it looks great
Please feel free to contact me again if you need any further help with anything, I'll be happy to hear from you! Best, Jonathan
Hi. Great template. However, whenever I send an email (Firefox or IE), the email sends ok but the button always says 'Sending…'. It doesn't seem to be getting a response passed back from ajax.php. Any advice please? Thanks!
Hello captain_planet,
Thanks for your message and sorry for the delay! Could you please send me a link to your site so I can take a look at the exact error returned? If the email is being sent correctly then the problem is probably related to the success message not being correctly returned in JSON format.
That could be caused by a space or line-break at the beginning of the
ajax.php file (before the
<?php opening tag). If not, then it could be caused by an improper encoding.
Make sure that the
ajax.php file is encoded in "Unicode UTF-8 Without BOM". Depending on your text editor, you should be able to select this encoding upon saving of the file, or under the "Encoding" menu if your using Notepad++ (editor that I recommend).
I hope that helps and please keep me posted! I look forward to being able to help you further with this Best regards, Jonathan
oh, btw, when I downloaded and tested it, the only page that would render was the 'no PHP' one. The others didn't. I think the difference was the way the style sheets were declared…
Hello captain_planet,
Thanks for your comment. You are correct the difference comes from the CSS and JS inclusion. Please see this FAQ: http://themeforest.net/item/spark-a-responsive-onepage-html5-website/1350924/faqs/9614
I hope that clears things up, and please don't hesitate to contact me if you need any further information, I'll be happy to assist Best, Jonathan
Fortunately not getting support after more than 15 days of the request. The good thing is that I ran back and solved the problem alone. See how it looks. www.gracai.com.br.
Dear reflexsite,
Thanks for your message, I'm really sorry for the exceptional delay experienced recently, I'm trying my best to assist as much people as I can and I get sometime overwhelmed, sincere apologies!
However I'm really happy that you were able to solve this problem by yourself! Congrats!
If you need anything else from me or if I can assist you with any other thing please don't hesitate to contact me, I'd be more than happy to hear from you Best regards, Jonathan
Fixed my issue of the 'Send' button sticking. I removed this line from ajax.php on line 46: header('Content-type: application/json');
Also, when the form returned success it blanked out the form and then validated, so the form elements turned red? So I commented this line out of main-r9.js (line 197): form.find('#form-email, #form-name, #form-message').val('');
Hey captain_planet,
Thanks for the follow-up! Please send me a link to your site so I can take a look. This is not normal behavior – you shouldn't need to edit the javascript.
I believe that the conflict you're having with the JSON header comes from a space or line-break at the beginning of the
ajax.php file, or possibly related to the file encoding (see my previous message to you posted earlier).
Please keep me posted, I look forward to be solving this for you Cheers, Jonathan
Hello. I just purchased this theme and I've uploaded to my domain like hundreds of others that I've done. For some reason the page does not come together correctly. It just looks like very basic HTML without any css. Here is a screen shot: http://deliverpdx.com/Capture.JPG
the file "index-nophp.html" opens fine locally and displays the site correctly.
Hello srockhard,
Thank you for your message!
Short answer:
Simply use the "
index-nophp.html" version. You can rename it to "
index.html" to use this version by default.
Long answer:
The "
index.html" version benefits from performance enhancements, which requires to run on a standard PHP web hosting. It usually works fine with most hosting providers, but in some cases you might need to do some adjustments – For further information please take a look at this detailed FAQ: http://themeforest.net/item/spark-a-responsive-onepage-html5-website/1350924/faqs/9614
The difference between the two files ("
index.html" and "
index-nophp.html") is found in the way the CSS and JavaScript files are included. The "nophp" one calls the files directly, while the first one calls the files through a PHP script that will minify, merge, gzip and cache all CSS and JavaScript files.
I hope that helps! Please don't hesitate to contact me again if you need any further assistance! If possible, please include a link to your site so I can look the error you're encountering and provide you with informed advise Best, Jonathan
**SORRY…i got it working now ...it was just the permissions on the Cache folder thank you!
PRINTING – What do I need to do for the website to print. I get a blank in the print preview and the print itself.
thanks, anthony
Hello anthony,
Thank you for reporting this! Let me take a look into that so I can see what is the cause and I will get back to you shortly!
Thanks for you patience Best, Jonathan
Thanks for a great template. I am having an issue with a clients site, it was working fine for a year and now for some reason is not loading the sytlesheet correctly or the images. I have contacted the hosting provider and they say it is a memory issue, that the site is trying to use more than the 96Mb allocation and they are also trying to upsell me on a bigger package for the client (hosting). Can you please take a look at the site and let me know what has gone wrong.http://bit.ly/1amVX5m
Found the issue it was with the htaccess file. Now resolved.
Hi urbantech,
Thanks for your messages, I'm glad that you were able to find and solve the issue!
Please feel free to let me know if there's anything I can help you with, I'll be happy to hear from you Warm Regards, Jonathan
I sent you a message from your profile page. You should have my original message. If not then here are my questions, as I've explained I'm a beginner AND I'm not going to spend $40 on a wordpress theme.
1) How do I change the color scheme 2) How do I change the slide show to fit the whole width of the screen 3) Make the first Welcome screen smaller so it fits the page rather than scrolling down.
That's it for now, I'll get back to you if I have any more questions.
Dear GSinghKhalistani,
Thanks for your comment! I just double checked but didn't get your message, sorry about that! Could you please be so kind and open a support ticket at http://jona.maddim.com/support/ – I'll be more than happy to assist you as much as I can.
Please note however that in order to make color modifications you'll probably need basic elementary CSS knowledge, as only the WordPress version has a customization interface with an easy-to-use color picker, etc. I believe some editor tools allow to edit CSS colors via their interface but I would really recommend editing the CSS directly as it's much cleaner and very simple once you got the syntax.
Thanks! I look forward to hearing back from you, I'll do my best to provide you with all the help you need that I can provide Warm Regards, Jonathan
Thank for your reply, what about my other questions:
2) How do I change the slide show to fit the whole width of the screen 3) Make the first Welcome screen smaller so it fits the page rather than scrolling down. 4) Also, how do I change the font for the top navigation
Dear GSinghKhalistani,

Hello, I am trying to update the icons through the theme options. I am following your instructions as to picking new icons and downloading them through the IcoMoon App page. I place the downloaded file in the upload box, choose send to option tree, and then hit the save button (just like your video shows) but I get an error message as follows: "Icons: Unsupported file format. Please upload a ZIP file (.zip) under the Icons tab – compatible ZIP can be downloaded from http://icomoon.io/app/#browse."
I have tried this multiple times from multiple computers and I get the same results. Any information or assistance you can provide would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time.
Hi jmforman,
Thanks for your message. May I ask if you have the latest version of the Spark Theme? There was a known issue with some web hosting providers that affected earlier versions of the Spark Theme, and which I have resolved a while ago via an update.
Please let me know the version of the Spark theme you're running, and if you can try updating it to the latest version available to see if that works for you.
Thanks! I look forward to your reply Best, Jonathan
Currently using version 4.0. Hosting is on Blue Host Pro account.
Hi jmforman,
Thanks for your reply. Please update the theme to version 4.1 – It will solve the issue you're having. See this FAQ for instructions on how to update the theme: http://themeforest.net/item/spark-responsive-retina-onepage-wordpress-theme/2372522/faqs/9828
Please let me know if you need any further help, I'll be happy to assist Cheers, Jonathan
PS for others: This comment concerns the Spark WordPress Theme, it's not related to this Spark HTML5 Template.
Worked great. Thanks for the info. Sorry I put this in the wrong thread!
Nice, simple and fast loading. Be nice if you had a longer version with testimonials, portfolio of images and vids etc?
Do you have a longer expanded version? or do we need to drop the code in ourselves
Hi mase,
Thanks for your comment! There are plenty of shortcodes available and ready to be used to create all the content you need, including responsive videos, etc. Not to mention the great TinyMCE Editor Visual Enhancer included which allows you to visualize columns, font-icons, etc. directly from within the WordPress Editor, making it super simple to create content!
Also the theme comes with lots of helpful demo content which you can use almost anywhere in your site.
I hope that answers your questions! Please don't hesitate to let me know if you need any help with the customization, I'll be more than happy to hear from you Best, Jonathan
1) How do I change the slide show to fit the whole width of the screen
2) How do I change the icons on the site?
Hello reflexsite,
Thank you for contacting me. Have you had a look at the Theme Options page under the "Icons" tab? Check out this short video for step-by-step instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtbSRLegw68
Regarding the main slider, you can extend it to the full width available within the site's layout by going to the Theme Options page, and under the "Main Slider" tab just select "Fullwidth". If this isn't enough and you would like the slider to actually use the full width of the browser, it would require you to edit the
header.php template file and add the following code at the very end of the file:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[welcome_block]'); ?>
I believe images would also need to be adapted as well, take a look at
/wp-content/themes/spark/core/shortcodes.php on line 464 (or look for "welcome_block").
I hope that helps, please don't hesitate to let me know if you need further assistance with this customization, I'll be happy to hear from you! Sincerely, Jonathan
Hi again reflexiste,
I'm really sorry I just figured out that your comment was about the "Spark HTML5 Website Template" and not about the "Spark WordPress Theme"!
Sorry for my unrelated reply! So let me answer your initial questions:
1) To make the slideshow fullwidth, edit the HTML code and delete the
‹div class="seven columns"›...‹/div› containing the left block, and change the class of the div containing the slider from "
nine columns" to "
sixteen columns". Please let me know if you need help making this modification, I'll be pleased to help! Feel free to send me a private message so I can send you an edited version of the template files that reflects this customization
2) To change the icons on the site, simply replace the tags with your own custom ones. Please check out this FAQ entry for further details: http://themeforest.net/item/spark-a-responsive-onepage-html5-website/1350924/faqs/9613
I hope that helps! Again sorry for the confusion. Please don't hesitate to contact me again if you need any further assistance, I'll be happy to hear from you! Kindest regards, Jonathan
Hi Jona,
Submitted a ticket regarding issues with the mailer, keep getting an error message, have done everything required, full details in ticket, please advise?
Thanks HS
Dear Siren_Search,
Thank you for contacting me, and please accept my sincere apologies for the delay in my reply. I just replied to your ticket.
I had a look at your site and tried to send a message using the contact form, and I indeed got the error "Message not sent, please try again later." like you mention.
Usually this message appears because the PHP
mail() function failed to send the email (it returned
false). It could be related to the fact that your email address is not properly defined. Did you make sure to enter your email address correctly at the top of the
ajax.php file on line 9? If yes, then it's a possibility that your Web Hosting Provider doesn't support sending emails, it's very rare but I know of one case where a small Web Hosting Provider had disabled the ability to send emails via the PHP default
mail() function for some reasons. You could try asking your hosting provider support why you cannot send emails using the PHP
mail() function, perhaps they will be able to help!
I hope that you will find this information helpful, and please keep me posted! Please let me know if it's still not working – I'll be glad to assist further. Also feel free to send me FTP logins, or if you prefer just send me your customized "
ajax.php" file so I can verify that you entered your email address properly and that there isn't any mistake or unwanted character.
Deepest regards, Jonathan
Hi Jona,
Could really do with your support on this one, I submitted a ticket more than 10 days ago.
Thanks HS
Dear Siren_Search,
Really sorry for the delay! I just replied to your ticket. Let me know if I can assist you further, I'll be happy to hear from you. Best regards, Jonathan
Follow up to previous comment – PHP Form Error
Just thought I'd say how pleased I am with the excellent support Jona offered me with this template – highly recommended!
I had an issue when using 123Reg hosting who had limitations on email handling which Jona resolved.
Many Thanks HS
Thank you so much Siren_Search for the kind words, I really appreciate it!
Hello, did anyone else realised that "Features" button shaking a bit when first opening a page in the Chrome browser?
I also raised the ticket "QRY-V7H-3ZAY" for 2 other things because i bought the template yesterday and need few things to make it work perfectly.
Hello! First off, great theme (I have the html 5 version) Quick question though. I made a new section called id="testimonials" and added it to the menu. When you click on it it takes you to the section, stops, and then scrolls down another inch or so. When you click that link on the menu again it just pushes you down an inch. How do I fix this?

I can meet great people and get exercise at the same time while hiking.
Wonderful group with great ideas for meetups.
Priscilla, welcome and thank you for joining Volunteer Nashville!
Thanks for letting me know about tomorrow's cancellation.
Hi Priscilla, the picture was taken in the Canadian Rockies, near Jasper, Alberta. It is breathtaking...and the pictures really don't do it justice. :)
By the way , where is your gallery?
Hi Priscilla. Welcome to the GSH&AG
I found your gallery, enjoyed your paintings. I liked the Aunt Jo's!
Hi Priscilla, we'll look forward to hiking with you in the Cove!
You are so sweet to invite me and I would love to come but will be out-of-town for the Jack and Back bike ride. Maybe another time. Sorry things were so crazy at Cheekwood.
Priscilla, In case you and Bill are interested I am thinking about hiking the Devil's Backbone next weekend.
I will be at Burns Branch no later than 8:30 and will hit the trail no later than 8:40. I have never hiked this trail before (which I like). I am not a guide but would love the company of anyone who is interested.
Thanks for all the nice comments on my photos!

Drizzle some oil in a large pot of boiling salted water, add 1 tablespoon of salt and the linguine, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or according to the directions on the package.
Meanwhile, in another large (12-inch), heavy-bottomed pan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic. Saute for 1 minute. Be careful, the garlic burns easily! Add the shrimp, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and the pepper and saute until the shrimp have just turned pink, about 5 minutes, stirring often. Remove from the heat, add the parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, lemon slices, and red pepper flakes. Toss to combine.
When the pasta is done, drain the cooked linguine and then put it back in the pot. Immediately add the shrimp and sauce, toss well, and serve.

With deep roots in Brandon, Rolf Dinsdale is a native son whose family's connection to Manitoba stretches back 120 years. Rolf has travelled far and wide, but has always been proud to call Manitoba home; the place where his family lives, where he began his education at Park School, launched his career at Riding Mountain National Park, and learned the value of generosity, hard work and perseverance.
Rolf earned degrees from the University of Western Ontario (majoring in political science and French) and Carleton University (majoring in communications). He built a successful career in print and digital media based in Ottawa and Toronto, but has always maintained strong roots in Manitoba. From 2004-2007 he served as a publisher of the award-winning Canadian magazine The Walrus. He then became the senior executive responsible for Facebook's business development in Canada at their agency partner Segal Communications, and led the Facebook Canada team until 2009. Recently, Rolf was part of the executive team that launched broadcast company Blue Ant Media. Rolf has built a record of professional success by launching innovative media products, creating jobs in the emerging tech economy, demonstrating strong business acumen, and utilizing his boundless creative energy.
Rolf is the youngest son of the Hon. Walter Dinsdale, who served Brandon-Souris as a Progressive Conservative Member of Parliament for 32 years and as Minister of Northern Affairs and National Resources under Prime Minister John G. Diefenbaker. He is the grandson of George Dinsdale, who served Brandon as Mayor and MLA, and L.B. Gusdal, who pioneered the Clear Lake resort. He is also the proud father of Maia. Rolf looks forward to continuing this proud tradition of service to Brandon-Souris with honesty, transparency, accessibility and integrity.
"I believe that Justin Trudeau is the only leader – and the Liberal Party of Canada is the only party – who share the values of hard work and community spirit with the people of Brandon-Souris. This is the best place in Canada to live, work and raise a family. But we can only secure our prosperity by working together, respecting our neighbours, and taking advantage of the opportunities of the future today. Stephen Harper just doesn't get it. The Conservative government has lost its way. It is constantly mired in scandal and is ignoring the needs of middle-class families. I want to help lead a Canada that is open, transparent and ready to face the future with optimism and hard work. I hope you'll join me in this journey to build a better future for Brandon-Souris."
- Rolf Dinsdale

The Beginning:
The Dallas Stars' Season Ticket Holder Council began with a chance meeting between Stars President Jim Lites and long-time Stars fan, Steve Thurman. Towards the end of the '11–'12 season, Mr. Lites spent time during Stars home games visiting with fans throughout American Airlines Center. He wanted to know what they were thinking, and get some insight about their perspective on the games. Mr. Thurman had an idea that would help Mr. Lites do that: put together a small group of long-time season ticket holders. Have these fans, the organization's best customers, get together regularly and let them tell the Stars management what they were thinking about the team, the games and the whole experience of being a Dallas Stars fan.
The Council was organized and began meeting in July of 2012. They meet monthly to provide perspective, give feedback, share opinions and respond to questions about the Stars fan experience. The Council's goal and purpose is to improve the fan experience for everyone who follows the team.
