Responded to your email. Thank you.
Very nice, good work;
The contact form doesn't seem to work?
Hello, it works, we checked
I'm trying to use the Parralax version but when I pull the index.html file out of the folder you placed it in, most of the page elements stop working or are not viewable any longer. When you place the index.html file into a folder and code all the pages/files to work in that structure, then it is not going to work when a user pulls the index file out of that folder. It would be better if you packaged each version of this template in its own folder so it could be uploaded to a buyers server without having to change the links. Will you please re-package these files so a buyer can upload the files to their server, ready to use?
I also need to know how to setup the contact form since you didn't provide any documentation on it. I didn't see where in the sendmail.php file to insert the email address.
The slider code seems really messed up as well. The button in your example and the download files is placed over the "home-slide-text". While I eventually corrected the placement, it appears that you have lines of code in the css file to set the top margin, but if you change the value, it does nothing. However, if you look further down into the code, there is another place you can change the value that works. It seems to me that you have some conflicting code as it relates to the slides and text overlay.
Looks like I stuck my foot in my mouth again… Please overlook everything I said with the exception of the contact form. Where do you insert the email address?
1) When you move parallax file in main directory you must raplace url for css\js\images example: it was <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../style/template_color/yellow.color.css" /> was <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style/template_color/yellow.color.css" />
2)open mail.php file and replace mail on your
3)can you send screenshot, i don't understand what you mean
As I said in my previous comment, I only need help now with the contact form. You supplied a file called sendmail.php but I cannot tell where I am supposed to enter my email address. What line is is on?
download last version our template find mail.php file in main directory, open and replace email on your
The current download does not have a mail.php file. It has a sendmail.php file.
Thinking I was losing my mind, I went back and uploaded your files from scratch. I then went through the section codes and realized that you have multiple problems with the coding. I've wasted two days trying to figure out what was going on and I'm not going to waste another two days trying to fix your coding.
I'm just going to trash this theme and save myself the trouble..
we work on the bugs, a little patience …. thank you for your review) Have a nice day.
I would suggest that each menu item have it's own SECTION so users can move and delete sections without other elements in other sections breaking. Right now, if you try to remove unneeded elements within sections, other elements stop working.
Sorry for the frustration, but I spent two days on this and have gotten nowhere with it.
Hello, Leyte.
if you want to delete section you must delete javaScript code too. example:
for delete this section
 open custom.script.js in any text reader program then find the "about" ID in the "function scrolling(){}" and remove it.
Or you can find help on any freelace exchange, like odesk or elance.
Thank you.
If this theme requires special procedures to delete a section on the HTML page, then it might be a good idea to supply some documentation to let us know about this and anything else users might find important.
I am still waiting on an answer to the contact form question as well.
In addition to the other things I have noted, I noticed today that you have 12 photo's coded into the page but only 4 (four) photo's will display. Why are only 4 photo's out of 12 being shown?
in the concept of a site must be only 4 work on the page, if you want show more works you must rewrite css file
The concept of the site only allows 4 images to be shown? I can see showing only 4 images at one time, but what about a forward and back button which will allow the website owner to show more than 4 photo's and users to scroll through the images?
this template dont have any button for showing more works, but you can modify this template, if you have simply knowledge in js or you can find people on odesk or elance who can help you with this
You leave me with no other choice than to ask Envato for a refund, which I have now submitted.
Yes as you want, we are not guilty, you want to completely redo the layout. Demo version was, there was still seen as that works.
You blame us for what is not and should not be) Tahnks. All the best.
Show me where I said that I wanted this theme layout completely redone? Where?
Over the course of several days, I asked about three (4) things.
1) I pointed out that the slider had issue's with text element alignment and the CSS coding conflicts.
2) Where to change the email address for the contact form. You finally discovered that you did NOT include the mail file in the download and finally updated the download yesterday. That was not my error, it was yours!
3) I then asked you why the theme was breaking when I tried to remove sections from the index.html file. It is NOT normal for a template to stop functioning when removing a section but you finally stated that users had to remove JS code when doing so. You did not include this information in an release notes or documentation. In fact, the documentation that came with this download was minimal and useless.
4) I then asked you about the portfolio and why only four (4) images can be displayed, despite the fact that you coded in twelve (12) images into the index.html file. Why did you code 12 images into the HTML file when the portfolio only works with 4 images? Did you bother to disclose that that this theme does NOT incorporate a proper portfolio? No!
I didn't ask you to change your template, I simply pointed out the problems of this template and sought answers and fixes for it. It is obvious that you are unwilling to fix your theme and for that reason, I have requested a refund from Envato and asked them to remove this template from their website.

Is Google favoring itself with organic search results?
Many websites have thrived on the strength of their Google search ranking. Now the same can be said of the antitrust lawyers favored by the beleaguered tech giant. Although Google was recently cleared of antitrust violations in a ten month investigation by the French government, it is still receiving legal scrutiny from the European Commission and U.S. government. Plus, many smaller sites that compete with some of Google's services have begun complaining about how Google prioritized its own products in its search results. Talking about Google Places, Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman told the Wall Street Journal's Amir Efrati that the tech giant is using its dominant search engine "to take an inferior product and put it in front of the user." Google contends that its results are formulated "for users, not websites." Its products are often listed "in the form of 'quick answers' at the top of the page, because our users want a quick answer," the company told Efrati. A bigger concern than bad press is how the legal problems may hamper Google's growth. A source close to Groupon board members told Business Insider's Nicholas Carlson "that antitrust concerns ultimately forced Groupon to turn down Google's $6 billion offer." Like AdMob, which was promised $700 million if Google's $750 million offer was blocked by regulators, the social shopping start-up was reportedly demanding a similarly generous kill fee.
In a broader sense, EU regulators are looking into Google's dominant search and ad business. Lawyers and bankers say Google has reason to be worried. Guy Lougher, a partner on the EU competition team of law firm Pinsent Masons, told Reuters that the inquiry is "starting to look horribly like a rerun of the Microsoft cases," which dragged on for a decade and cost the software firm 1.4 billion euros in fines alone. "It is possible that Google could face a large fine, or be forced to be more transparent with its ranking and quality score algorithms," said Mark Mahaney of Citi in a research note published by the Business Insider. Back in the states, Google is facing an uphill battle to convince regulators to sign off on its proposed $700 million acquisition of ITA Software, the leading provider of software used in online searches for airline flights. Google plans to set up its own travel-search tool to compete with the likes of Kayak.com. And all of this is in addition to the privacy investigations Google is facing due to what it claims was the inadvertent collection of private data from WiFi networks during its Street View mapping project. The Washington Post's Steven Pearlman notes that the company "boasts a market value of $190.2 billion, a profit margin of 30 percent, and cash and marketable securities on its balance sheet worth $33 billion." Now if only Google can find more start-ups willing to accept its cash -- and the legal headaches that come with it.
Microsoft, Android set sights on popular iPad
It has been less than a year since the iPad established the tablet computer as a content platform that publishers and tech companies ignore at their own peril. While newspapers and magazines have been quick to roll out iPad versions of their content, many gadget makers are still scrambling to catch up with Apple's market-leading device. Bill Gates debuted the first tablet PC nearly a decade ago, but it failed to catch on. Now the New York Times' Nick Bilton is reporting that Microsoft is jumping back into the tablet market by encouraging manufacturers to build devices running its Windows 7 operating system. "The company believes there is a huge market for business people who want to enjoy a slate for reading newspapers and magazines and then work on Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint while doing work," a person familiar with Microsoft's tablet plans told Bilton. Both bankers and bloggers doubt it can capitalize on the market. Google's Android OS is likely to prove a more fearsome competitor for Apple's market share. Both the iPad and an unnamed Motorola tablet will be available in Verizon stores. And, if the so-called Honeycomb update to Android proves as popular on tablets as it has on mobile phones, there could soon be a whole host of other Google-powered devices for sale opposite the iPad.
Meanwhile, sales of the iPad show little sign of tapering off. eMarketer estimates that Apple will have sold 8.5 million iPads in the U.S. by the end of this year for control of 88% of the domestic tablet market. Next year, eMarketer predicts that the number of iPads sold will increase 127% to almost 20 million. And by the end of next year, these devices will account for more than 2% of all North American web traffic, according to researchers at ad network Chitika. At the moment, the iPad already accounts for nearly 1% of the traffic on its network, a figure Chitika believes to be broadly representative of the industry at large. eMarketer says that Microsoft, Google, RIM and others will reduce Apple's dominance of the U.S. market to only 74% by the end of 2012 and even more abroad where the iPad features many unbranded "white box" tablets. While all of this is certainly good news for Apple and its competition, it is not yet clear how beneficial it will be for the print publishers. A recent study from the Missouri School of Journalism found a statistically significant increase in newspaper print subscription cancellations among readers who had just purchased an iPad.
Gawker, WikiLeaks-related hacks a wakeup call
Just as diplomatic communication will be profoundly altered by Cablegate, the WikiLeaks disclosure of hundreds of thousands of State Department cables, so too will online media be changed by the hacking of Gawker Media. The release of some 200,000 email and password combinations belonging to members of Gawker's vibrant commenting community, details of the site's forthcoming redesign, and even the code underpinning the site's proprietary content management system represent what the New York Observer's Nick Summers calls "the biggest security breach of a media site ever." How did it happen? Gawker was targeted by a hacking collective known as Gnosis, which was initially thought to be from the WikiLeaks defenders Anonymous. A Gnosis member told Mediaite's Colby Hall that the group decided to attack Gawker "because of their outright arrogance." While the two groups have been confused and conflated by some, there are important distinctions between them. Anonymous, a group of some 9,000 anonymous members, operates entirely out of the public 4chan chatroom and disabled the websites of Visa and Mastercard using a voluntary botnet system that sent distributed denials-of-service messages to overwhelm the sites' servers. Gnosis is a much more tightknit and dangerous group. No one -- including the FBI, which is now looking into the case -- is entirely certain how they pulled off the breach, how long they were inside Gawker's system, or what information they still may have. And most unnerving of all, one member told The Daily Beast's Brian Ries that "everyone is fair game on the Internet, in my opinion."
What do these rogue web groups mean for Gawker and other online publishers who may eventually become their targets? First and foremost, sites must upgrade their security. Writing for Forbes, data security expert Daniel Kennedy notes that "it seems clear they do not have a good information security person on staff or that they can call." There were a number of clues left by Gnosis -- randomly changed passwords, a hacked Twitter account, etc. -- that Gawker ignored. Kennedy says that a better security team "would have been able to view the entire landscape and put all of these problems together as being fruit of the same tree." Gawker Media founder Nick Denton seems to have gotten that message. Business Insider's Glynnis MacNicol points to one of hundreds of comments Denton left across the Gawker ecosystem in the days after the breach where he promised to hire "horrendously expensive security consultants." It is likely money well spent. "As more and more media moves online -- and trends toward a more social news experience -- trust is of the essence," writes Forbes' Chris Barth. "Gawker Media has a tightly integrated commenter community on nearly all of its sites, and will likely suffer a significant blow to the brand as users think twice before plugging into commenting systems." Plus, some Gawker commentors on Twitter have had their accounts broken into and are now automatically spamming their followers with acai berry weight loss ads. The potential for the same thing to happen to users who signed up using government emails may explain the FBI's sudden interest.
Twitter's new funding values it at $3.7 billion
By nearly any metric, the last year has been a good one for Twitter. It added 100 million users, launched the redesigned "New Twitter" in September, then promoted COO Dick Costolo to chief executive. Now it has concluded a massive round of venture capital funding. The last time Twitter hit up the VC markets was in September 2009 when it raised $100 million on a valuation of $1 billion and had half as many employees and no revenue streams to speak of. Today, it boasts 350 employees, a $3.7 billion valuation and a trickle of revenues from beta tests (Promoted Trends, Tweets, and Products). In addition to a $200 million investment, Twitter also gained access to the experience of storied Silicon Valley venture firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, which contributed the bulk of the cash to the latest funding round to get about 4% to 5% ownership of the startup. The microblogging service also added veterans from Netscape, DoubleClick and Flipboard to its board. These investors and advisers were likely impressed by the growing use of Twitter by online Americans. A recent survey from Pew Internet found that 8% use Twitter. That comes to a total of some 18 million, according to calculations by The Atlantic's Alexis Madrigal. As Business Insider's Nick Saint points out, that's a far cry from the 65 million U.S. users claimed by Twitter (a number likely inflated by multiple and abandoned accounts).
The only metric where Twitter is still lacking is in the revenue column. While it has money coming in, it is still unclear exactly how it will recoup its investor's money. And Twitter isn't offering any specifics on its plans. In a company blog post announcing the funding, CEO Costolo simply wrote that "additional resources and expertise will be extremely helpful as Twitter continues to grow as a company and business." Sources tell AllThingsD's Kara Swisher that it "is moving fast to upgrade its management and business model." GigaOM's Om Malik says that's a good idea. Twitter "needs to spend on scaling its business and at the same time solve the quandary of a business model," Malik writes. "It hasn't quite figured out where its sales (and profits) are going to come from." One idea noted by Mashable's Stan Schroeder is to create an online marketplace for buying and selling Twitter products. "Twitter's new advertising center still isn't a turn-key solution for buying ads," but it could be down the road, Scroeder says. New content partnerships that will allow Twitter to display media from blip.tv, Rdio, an
Newspapers, mags, Facebook winners in online ad surge
It might sound odd, but the recession might be a boon for online publishers. eMarketer analyst David Hallerman points out that the still weak recovery is benefiting online publishers: "Marketers' economic concerns are leading them to spend more for online advertising," he said. For the third time this year, eMarketer has been forced to upwardly revise its annual U.S. online ad revenue estimate. A year ago, it predicted 5.5% growth in 2010, by May it was saying 11% and now the research firm is settling on a 13.9% annual increase. That will bring online ad revenues up to $25.8 billion this year. The revenue growth is expected to continue at a double-digit rate for the next three years reaching $40.5 billion by the end of 2014.
Plus, the Newspaper Association of America released its third quarter results, which show that online ad revenues continue to grow by double digits. Newspapers in the trade group on average drew more than 11% of their Q3 revenues from online ads. The percentage is even higher at healthier companies like McClatchy, where websites are expected to bring in $190 million in revenue in 2010 -- that's a whopping18.2% of the advertising total. The Atlantic Media Company also made waves recently when it announced that, on the strength of strong digital revenues, it would make an annual profit this year -- the first in over a decade. The $6.1 million they made from online ads represents nearly 40% of the company's overall ad take. And no conversation about the growth in online ads would be complete without mentioning Facebook's stunning revenue growth. It is now projected to earn more that $2 billion from advertising and virtual currencies. That's over double the $800 million it brought in last year.
Burst Media: Mixed response to targeted ad messages
With more and more ways to track Internet users across the web, marketers have increasingly sought to tailor their messages to individuals by following their digital trail. And most consumers seem to be all right with the added attention. According to a new study by Burst Media, 78.2% of consumers have taken notice of these targeting efforts. While 34.2% of the 1,600 adults surveyed last month did not appreciate being individually targeted, 27.7% enjoyed the so-called "dynamic ads" and a plurality of 38.1% said they had no opinion at all. Even among the third of adults who opposed targeting, their objections are more procedural than philosophical. The top two complaints respondents cited were that the ads were "annoying and distracting" (54.9%) or that the ads featured products they had no interest in (38.2%). By comparison, 33.4% said ad targeting infringes on their privacy and another 27.5% didn't like how the ads followed them around the web. These findings suggest that, if used carefully and effectively these new targeted ads could become a widespread, accepted part of the online experience.
Online marketers need to not only win over the public, but avoid regulation if targeted ads are to become commonplace. Congress is currently considering a Do Not Track registry that could cripple the nascent ad product if it were to come into being. But as paidContent's David Kaplan points out, these discussions have been occurring in the halls of Washington for years now. And the markets don't seem to take them very seriously. Web ad targeter Media6Degrees just raised $17 million in venture capital backing. AllThingsD's Peter Kafka notes that a Do Not Track registry could cripple the ad company's business model, "but we're a very long way from that kind of change. And the startup's investors seem to be betting that it's never going to come."

"Royal Blueberry" Gazpacho with Lemon and Mint
SingingGourmand Posted: 05/27/13
detailaddict Posted: 08/18/12
Yum. I had some muscadines and scuppernogs to use up, so I substituted these for cultivated grapes, 1 1/2 pounds to 8 oz. blueberries as this was what I had on-hand. I seeded the grapes first and cooked them with the skins (sans the white grape juice as they seemed plenty juicy) for 15-20 minutes before adding the blueberries and the other ingredients. The aroma is wonderful - very "grape-y", and the flavors blend very well, although the blueberry flavor is likely a bit muted. I did end up with 2 1/2 cups, i.e., 5 servings, likely due to the extra grapes. This will be good as a side for lunch or a light supper, and I would make this again.
jupett Posted: 07/27/12
So easy and so delicious! The recipe suggests this will make 5 servings, but they will be small. Next time I'm going to double the recipe (or triple it!) because this is yummy!

Planet Universe by Adam Kennedy
This imaginative series is created by San Francisco's own Adam Kennedy, who uses photographs of old rusty fire hydrants and creates wonderful worlds that float through space. If you look closely you'll notice that the rust marks on the hydrant create the planets oceans and land formations. Adam is hoping to gain funding through Indiegogo to create a series of posters using the images, as well as a calendar, and if you'd like to donate you can do so with the link below.

Entertainment News: Patti LaBelle and Aretha Franklin fight?
by SharmonJarmon!
posted Apr 16 2014 8:01AM
I love both of these women so as soon as I heard this story I knew it had to be false.
OK, let us stand still for a sec and try to wrap our collective brains around this fantastical lie
Patti LaBelle
and the Queen of Soul
Aretha Franklin
duking it out in a fist fight
This is how it supposedly went down.
Both women were at the March 20
Women of Soul
concert at, of all places, The White House. As Aretha was making her way to the stage, Patti LaBelle, along with others standing near the aisle seats, reached to grasp her hand in that kind of "I love you sister girl" way.
Apparently, Aretha wasn't having it, and threw shade at Patti by pushing the hand out of the way in a "Girl stop frontin' you know we don't get down like that" kind of way.
Not a good idea as far as egos go.
Next thing we hear, the tabloids run wild with this claim:
Onlookers say
LaBelle quickly removed her wig and earrings as she approached Franklin. Aretha, knowing that the removal of earrings is a tell-tale sign that a fight is about to ensue, attempted to prepare herself for the confrontation. Franklin was quickly struck with a Mayweather style right and left and stumbled backwards, landing awkwardly. Bystanders subdued LaBelle and escorted her outside of the venue. Franklin suffered only minor injuries."
Well, as rumor would have it:
This story is completely bogus.
At the bottom of their website,
writes: "The stories posted on TheNewsNerd are for entertainment purposes only. The stories may mimic articles found in the headlines, but rest assured they are purely satirical."
Some of their other headlines read: "Noah Screening Cancelled After Movie Theater Floods," and "Leonardo DiCaprio Cast As MLK In New Film, Will Wear Blackface.

'Whatever that magical thing is' A pre-Twangfest interview with Langhorne Slim
Langhorne Slim has friends with crooked tails, guitars for sale on eBay and a burning desire for music and traveling.
On a rainy Brooklyn afternoon, Langhorne Slim stepped into a nearby shop to receive a perfectly-timed phone call from here in St. Louis. I was the phone call; he was the affable musician. We spoke about his raw rock 'n' roll and folk sounds, his new album "The Way We Move" and the comfort he feels on the road. Langhorne will venture to St. Louis to play Twangfest 16 at the Blueberry Hill Duck Room on Friday, June 8.
Joe Roberts: How are you? How's it going?
Langhorne Slim: I'm good, man. I just came into this little shop here to get out of the rain. Hopefully you can hear me all right. But, I'm doing really well.
You're on the road right now, is that right?
We got a house show tonight in Brooklyn. And then we leave for Boston tomorrow, which is the official start of our tour.
It seems like you're on the road a lot. Do you ever catch a break?
Yeah! In fact, I'm just coming off of one right now that is way too long, about a month and a half of a break. Yeah, we tour all the time because I think it's the way to get music out there, and also it's just, I feel a lot more at home on the road, and inspired and free when I'm traveling and playing. So it's a huge part of the lifestyle that I really enjoy.
When you do get a break, what do you do during that time?
Write music. See friends. I had a girlfriend for five years, so I'd spend time with her. I don't have her anymore, so I don't spend time with her. But, I've been traveling and I'm working on new songs. Just getting ready for the album to finally come out, you know.
It's a crazy process. You just spend a bunch of time writing new songs and you record them to a record and then you got to wait five to six months for the actual record to come out. So I'm just really, really excited for this thing to finally get out there and to get back out on the road.
How do you think all of the touring has changed you as a person and as a musician?
I don't know! I'm 31, I've been doing it for ten years. So, it's pretty much most of my entire adult life. It's just a natural thing for me to do. It was never a conscious thought. I never sat down and thought, "This is what I'm gonna do." It was just a burning desire to write and perform and to travel with it.
I guess I never even realized that all bands didn't travel as much. It's only occurred to me when other people say, "You guys particularly travel a lot." I'm sure it's changed me as a person, I just wouldn't know how. I think I'm just a person that is suited for that kind of lifestyle.
So, it's just kind of who you are. It hasn't really changed you, it's just what you do.
I don't feel that way. I just feel like I was born for it. Like somehow it's in my bones or my blood.
You seem like the kind of guy who has a bunch of instruments lying around the house, and recently I saw…
Well, I did! I don't have a house anymore! [Laughs] So I have a lot of instruments lying around in storage and at my mom's house.
Oh, nice! Well, I saw recently that you had a guitar for sale on eBay. What's the story behind that?
Basically, I just acquired or bought that guitar in California about, shoot, three or four years ago. And, to be honest I was trying to figure out what kind of guitar guy I was. And I've since realized that I'm really a Martin guy. So, I've got three Martins now. And I've kind of retired that guitar.
And just in moving on with different things in my life, I decided it was time to get rid of some things. So, I gave away some things, sold some things, and thought it would be fun to put that up there to see what might happen with it.
Kind of like a spring cleaning of sorts.
Exactly! Sometimes it's important to do that, you know?
Oh, yeah! Now, it sounds like you've had a lot of guitars. What is your favorite one? Do you have one that would be an extension of you and your music?
Yeah! It's a small body 1957 Martin with mahogany wood. It's probably the coolest guitar I've ever played. So, um, that'd be the one, man. I feel like I finally found "the one"!
How exactly do you get the different guitar sounds on all your tracks? For example, on "The Way We Move" you have a very percussive sound, is that a particular guitar, a strumming technique you use? Or is that just your style?
I suppose, man. I'm not a trained guitar player. I learned to play guitar from my cousin, who I grew up sort of idolizing. And he taught me a few Nirvana songs and then I kind of developed my style or started writing songs by becoming obsessed with those few Nirvana songs, playing them over and over again. And then I got into, like, all different styles of music. But, I think just through my different — just being comfortable with my self and then just blending all this other music maybe lends itself to having a hopefully unique or distinct style. Yeah, just what comes out.
I know some artists are protective of their lyrics, music or songs, and all of that. How do you feel about discussing your songs or lyrics, and their meanings? Or do you prefer to leave that up to the listener to come to their own conclusions?
Yeah, I'd much rather leave it to the listener to come to their own conclusion. I like to talk about it and hear the other stories that other people come up with. I find that pretty fascinating. But I mean it depends on what the questions were. But, yeah, sometimes I shy away from it, I guess — I'm not the first one to say it, for sure, but the beauty of these things, I think, is that people connect with it, if they do connect with it at all, people connect with a particular artist or song or painter or whatever through the eyes they're looking at it with. So, it'd almost be restrictive, I think, to say, "This is exactly what this thing means. So what whatever you're taking away from it, if it isn't exactly this, you're wrong." I think the coolest thing is that it can mean a lot of different things, it doesn't have to mean exactly what it meant to me when I wrote it.
How do you write the lyrics? Are they primarily your personal experiences, are you telling stories, or are you reflecting on life? Or is it all kinds of different things going on in your lyrics?
No, on this record ["The Way We Move"] 99.9 percent [of the lyrics] are a reflection of my personal experience. And it's pretty personal! [Laughs]
What's the process?
The process is, I don't know, I hear a melody or songs in my head all the time. Some are worth navigating around and getting into and making songs, and others kind of float by and I'm not there to grab them. But, the process — I don't wake up every day at nine and get the guitar out. I've never had that kind of a regimen. In fact, I think that's why I do what I do, because I'm terrible at doing that sort of work and being that organized. But for me it's just an inspiration, when I'm fortunate enough to have whatever that magical thing is, I don't know how to put it into words, just to be present and to capture it and try to turn it into something.
So it's pretty much you exclusively doing the writing and the music, and then you present it to the band? Or do they contribute in that process, too?
That's right, but they contribute a great deal. Basically I will write the song on my own. At this point a lot of us are in New York, but in the last so many years we lived in different places. The last two years I lived in Portland, Oregon and I would write the songs, or the vast majority of the songs and then when you go out on tour I'll bring a song to the guys and play it for them at sound check or before the show or something like that. And we just get into it and see where the song goes.
I sense a bit of a punk-rock vibe to your music. Was there, or is there, much punk rock in your life, or was that just how it turned out?
[Long pause] Wow! That's great! That you say that and hear that. Yeah! That's what I want. To be in a soul-punk-folk band. That kind of music is all the same. Early blues and folk music, early soul and R&B — all that raw and rootsy music is very punk rock. It's very stripped down and real and dirty and raw. That's my favorite stuff to listen to and that's the music I'm most inspired by.
Yeah. I'm sure you were playing in a series of bands growing up and before you…
I was not!
You were not! Okay!
Strangely. I was not.
How did it come about? How did you know you were going to do music and how did it become your sole project?
It just feels like it came along with me as a little dude. I dreamt and fantasized about playing in bands growing up, but I never really found people in the small town I grew up in to do it with. I don't know why, I was just always really drawn to music. I tried doing acting and plays when I was really young. Sure, I was pretty good at it, maybe, but I wasn't great taking direction from a director. So I thought, after I learned to play a little guitar, if I could write my own songs and had my own shows, it would essentially be a play that I was writing.
But I was just doing like open mics and living rooms and coffee shops. Anywhere anyone would listen to me. That's when I was still living in Pennsylvania, and then moved to New York when I was 18 and thankfully I got a lot of support from my family and my friends. I was living in the city in East Village and playing these little open mics and people were really cool and supportive …. I always felt that I'd either be a poor, unknown musician or a musician that was known and makes some money. But there was never really a backup plan. It was like, this is what I got and so this is what I'm gonna do.
Let's hear about your involvement with the PBS show "Sun Studio Sessions."
That was a while ago. I think it still airs. It's a really cool thing. I'd love to do it again, I feel we could do it better than we did. I think we did that like, shit, three years ago. What they do is they have bands that go into Sun Studio and a record in a very basic, stripped down way. It's just a very cool project.
You've toured with plenty of other artists and bands. Are there any crazy stories?
There are probably crazy stories, but anytime anyone asks that I forget. There's so much monotony and there's probably so much crazy shit that happens that it all just blends together. But we've been fortunate, man, from the beginning we've toured with amazing bands. Lucero was one of the first bands that took us out on the road, and they were incredible to us. We did a few shows with the Violent Femmes, which were one of my favorite bands growing up. And that was amazing. There's a long list of heavy hitters that we've been able to go out with. Yeah, it's cool. It's important on the road to have that kind of camaraderie with the folks you're touring with. It's a beautiful thing when you're all together musically and creatively, but also to have that brotherhood.
What song of yours do you feel sum up what you and your band are all about?
I would say this entire new record. That's the best thing we've done so far. If I were to pick some songs, I would say to give the whole record a shot.
We spoke earlier about discussing the meanings of songs and such and I understand you're in the process of moving and you're often on the road touring. What is your take on the song "How We Move" and what was the inspiration?
That song's more about the lifestyle you live, maybe the way you strut. Maybe, about being kind of a freak, but a beautiful freak. An outsider, but with other outsiders, so therefore, you are in a family. I guess, if you're an outsider in a family of outsiders, you're an insider. It's just a song about, you know "all my friends got crooked tails, that's the way I like it, that's just what I need." That's what it means to me, just having a group of beautiful freaks. Making art and kicking ass.
Langhorne Slim and the Law perform at Twangfest 16 on Friday, June 8.

Love this sauce! I've made it several times. Add fresh basil instead of dried for an extra punch.
Spaghetti with Meatballs
78jessica Posted: 04/12/10
Shamrock317 Posted: 09/25/10
My boyfriend asked me to make spaghetti, and I cringed because I think it's one of the most boring dishes in the world. This recipe was fairly simple. I used a mixture of pork and beef for the meatballs, and I used a dry white wine because I didn't have a red on hand. The sauce was incredible, the meatballs were tasty, and we used leftovers the following day for meatball subs. I could easily make this again for a weekday meal or a fancy affair.

First, I would forget the notion that "if you build it, they will come." Start by asking your current customers if they would buy customized jeans and at what price point. Then you are taking a lot of the risk of "not knowing" out of your development.
This is especially true for women�s fashion, where the biggest risk is guessing what women really want.
Too many bad business decisions can be turned into good business decisions simply by asking questions--especially of your target
market. I like to think of it this way: There are no secrets in business--just information you don�t know yet.
All the best.

An interview with Geoff Surratt (and a book giveaway!)
This week I caught up with pastor, author, innovator, and Church catalyst, Geoff Surratt. He's the new Director of the Exponential Conference and along with Todd Wilson and Dave Ferguson is a part of the senior leadership team. The Exponential Conference is the largest gathering of church planters on the planet with an expected attendance of 5,000 this April. Will you be there?
Andrew: Describe your new role at Exponential in two sentences. What are you really going to be doing?
Geoff: In addition to overseeing the Exponential Conference my role includes aggregating, moderating and distributing content for church leaders as well as connecting church planters, church planting networks and church planting partners. Our goal is to catalyze reproducing church movements.
Andrew: When you attend the conference this April, what will you be focused on? Will you be learning how things run and watching the "behind the scenes" organization? In short what will be going through your head, given your new role?
Geoff: My main role at the conference this year is to make sure all of the speakers have all the Diet Coke they can drink. While this may seem trivial, it is really the engine the Exponential runs on. When I'm not pouring liquid manna I will be connecting with leaders and church planters and learning how we can better serve them in the coming year. Connecting with like-minded leaders is the best part of Exponential.
Andrew: The theme of the conference this year is around the idea of God's leaders being "sifted." Do you have a story of being sifted?
Interview with Geoff Surratt, pt. II: Churches and Online Community
Following is part II of our interview with Geoff Surratt from Seacoast Church and author of Ten Stupid Things That Keep Churches from Growing. See part I here.
Sometimes church communities can appear insular to outsiders. How can churches create a more open environment for welcoming and engaging interested and new members?
"What is a church's front door? The 'front door' of a church is not the physical front door and has not been for a long time. It is not the sign in front of the building. And it is not the Yellow Pages ad. The front door is on the Web. We have found that when coming to our church for the first time, a majority of people, even if they come with a friend who is already a member, checked us out on the Web first. Churches need to be aware of this. And these researchers do not just go to www.yourchurch.org, they go to Google. Everything that appears in Google is what they check out – everything about your pastor, your Facebook page, etc.
Interview with Geoff Surratt: On technology and stupid church things
Geoff Surratt is on staff of Seacoast Church, a successful and high-visibility multi-site church. He's also the author of Ten Stupid Things That Keep Churches from Growing. In a recent Zondervan interview Geoff shared his thoughts on how churches use technology to stay connected.
How do "old school" communications practices keep churches from growing and thriving?
"When I think some of the old school communications practices churches go back to again and again, two or three come to mind. A few years ago, the way you started a church or promoted a new event was to send out a mass mailer. I see churches continue to do that, but the response is going down and down and down. For the most part, response to mailers is completely dead. I also see churches communicate outside of their community via newspaper ads, and print newspaper effectiveness has dropped significantly too. Within the church, I see announcement services page used a lot. Public announcements are not very effective at communicating either. When you survey TV watchers after viewing three commercials in a row, nobody can remember the middle TV commercial. A few can remember the first, more the last. The same is true for announcements; most people are not hearing what is being said because they cannot. By the time a pastor hits three announcements, he has lost people."

Geoff Surratt talks about a Roadtrip
this week there are a number of blogs that are reviewing a multi-site church roadtrip, by geoff surratt, greg ligon, and warren bird. as people post their reviews this week, i'll link them, but until that time, i wanted to share an interview i had with one of the authors, geoff surratt. geoff is the pastor of ministries at seacoast church and is also the author of the multi-site church revolution, and ten stupid things that keep churches from growing. his most recent release is a multi-site church roadtrip and he, greg, and warren profile 15 churches that are exploring "the new normal" of multi-site. here is the interview:
cubfann: before embarking on your "roadtrip", were you expecting to find more similarities or differences among the multiple churches? what did you actually discover?
geoff surratt: I expected a great deal of similarity in multisite churches. Early on in the movement it seemed that churches were being attracted to a handful of models and were more or less copying each other. What we found is that multisite is taking a wide range of shapes from rural to internet to international campuses. There is no such thing as a right way to do multisite.
cf: what do you see as the biggest challenge for the multi-site/multi-venue movement in the next few years?
gs: I think the biggest challenge is to stay faithful to the vision that God has given for your church. There seems to be a trend to go multisite because that is what all of the larger churches are doing, but that is a mistake. God has a unique vision and mission for each church and it is vital that the leaders stay on the path.
cf: of the fifteen churches you visited and profiled, which one innovation stood out to you exceptionally?
gs: The innovation closest to my heart came from Healing Place Church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and the idea of transforming communities by planting campuses. Rather than just showing up on the weekend and inviting people to come to a service, Healing Place moves into communities 24/7. The offer food, clothing, medical help, and education all given freely in the name of Jesus. This concept is catching on across the country as more and more multisite churches are opening Dream Centers of their own.
cf: satellite and preaching via the internet, like lifechurch.tv puts out, is a new concept that intrigues many. being in a technology-driven age, this idea has been growing in popularity. what are the benefits and drawbacks to this idea? what should people be aware of before deciding to use this method as their primary way of "church" worship?
gs: Internet campuses have quickly become a tool that churches across the country are taking advantage. From the very simple streaming of a weekend service to a full service campus such as Lifechurch.tv offers people are connecting virtually with their church and with each other. For some it is a great way to stay connected with their home church and for others it is a great door into church; a place they never really saw themselves going. The key for an internet church, like any church, is that people are actually connecting in life-giving relationships and living as the body of Christ. Just surfing to your church and hanging out watching a preacher on the screen by yourself isn't living the Christian lifestyle presented in the Bible. But when people really do connect, serve and share amazing life transformation is happening through online churches.
cf: what are the most important components to keeping a multi-site church thriving?
gs: The key to any multisite church is leadership. Choosing the right leaders for campus pastors and other ministry leaders will determine the success or failure of a new campus. Beyond leadership and leadership development, the second thing you have to get right is the funding model. How are you going to pay the bills without sinking the ship? And the third component is structure. How are the new campuses going to relate to each other and the leadership of the church. Every multisite church wrestles with these issues on an ongoing basis.
cf: what advice do you have for pastors of one-campus churches that are considering going multi-site or multi-venue? what should they discuss and weigh before taking the plunge?
gs: As we discussed in our first book, The Multi-site Church Revolution, I believe there are three questions any church considering multi-site should answer:
- What is the driving impetus behind the desire to go multi-site? Is it a to handle growth? To reach a new culture? To go into an area without a life giving church? These are all legitimate reasons to go multisite. What won't work is to go multisite to get a church to grow. Multisite is not a growth engine. Trying to become multisite without a driving vision is like trying to give birth without being pregnant.
- How healthy is your church? Are you baptizing new believers? Are you seeing people grow in their faith? Are seeing reproduction of believers? If your church isn't healthy, then it isn't a good idea to reproduce your disease.
- Is your senior leadership on board? Multisite isn't like adding a new ministry or just starting a new service; multisite needs to be in the DNA of the church leadership. If the senior pastor isn't leading the charge for adding new campuses then multisite likely will not be successful at your church.
A Multi-Site Church Roadtrip: The Godfather of Video Venues
Geoff Surratt first met Larry Osborne, pastor of North Coast Church in Vista California, at a Leadership Network multi-site church event in 2002. Seacoast was just beginning to dive into the world of video teaching and he immediately realized that Larry was the smartest guy on the planet when it came to leveraging technology to expand the Kingdom. And Larry wears really cool shirts. Over the years Larry has become a friend and a mentor both personally and through his books Sticky Church, Ten Dumb Things Christians Believe and A Contrarian's Guide to Knowing God. Geoff recently had a chance to get Larry's wisdom on the role of video, technology and more in the future of the multi-site revolution.
You pioneered the concept of the video venue at North Coast. What do you feel are two or three reproducible keys to your success in utilizing video that other churches could reproduce?
I believe a huge part of our success was our decision early on to only use video for teaching. Many things don't translate well on a screen (for instance music, drama, and the like). But teaching plays well in almost every geographic and demographic setting.
In fact, the biggest shock when we launched our first Video Venue was that it was so readily accepted by virtually every demographic. We thought our older folks would reject it outright. We thought younger generations might find it inauthentic. We assumed churches in the more traditional parts of the country would be highly resistant.
But we were wrong. It played well just about everywhere.
Looking back we should have realized that teaching is uniquely suited for a big screen. It allows people to clearly see facial expressions and non-verbals – which is why most people in a large facility with a video screen end up watching the screen rather than the little person up on the stage.
The other thing that I believe is easily reproducible is our use of differing music styles and ambiances to broaden our demographic outreach. Both Chris Brown (our other teaching pastor) and I are able to reach a far broader demographic (traditionalists, country music fans, and folks with lots of body art) than we could if we had a one-size-fits-all sanctuary.
How important is it for a church using video teaching to have the very best technology available?
I think the need for the quality technology is vastly overrated. You don't need the latest and greatest in order to succeed. You can't be so cheap that your venues are cheesy. The video can't look like a 1980′s VCR.
At North Coast we've always made due with less than the best technology simply because we often can't afford the best. We're not a rich suburban church. We're a blue collar church that meets in an old warehouse. If we felt we couldn't succeed without the best and latest technology, we'd still be saving up to launch our first venue.
We've learned that good enough is good enough when it comes to technology. I always tell the churches we consult to buy the best they can afford. There's no need to hawk the future for cool technology you can't afford and there's no reason to hold off launching a new ministry just because everyone else has better equipment.
North Coast has multiple venues with live worship bands at multiple locations and multiple service times. How do you find enough musicians to have that many worship teams?
The secret to our plethora of musicians goes back to a decision we made long before we started our Video Venues. Because we believe the job of a pastor is to equip the saints for the work of the ministry (Ephesians 4:11-12) our worship pastors have always been judged, rewarded, and paid for rising up other worship leaders rather than creating an all-star band.
I find you always get what you measure and reward. So guess what? Since we measure and reward rising up worship leaders, we get worship leaders. And better yet, once we turned the corner, we discovered that musicians draw musicians. So right now I think we have something like 24 adult worship bands to pull from.
In your book Sticky Church you describe the role of sermon based small groups in the life of North Coast. How integral do you think sermon based small groups have been to the growth of North Coast?
Our attendance was about 120 when we started our sermon-based small groups. They haven't particularly drawn people in, but they have helped to slam our back door shut – and when the back door stays shut, a church tends to grow.
We're pretty much a word-of-mouth church (we don't do any marketing or advertising) so closing the back door has been an essential ingredient of our growth. But the biggest advantage has been the way these sermon-based groups have enabled us to get everyone on the same page – and keep them there. That's made us a much healthier church not just a bigger church.
What did I not ask that I should have?
You didn't ask why my books are so much better than yours – at least that's what my mom thinks. Though my wife, Nancy, isn't so sure.
Other than the comments about Larry's books being better than mine (they are, but he didn't have to bring it up) Larry once again stretched my thinking on what is effective and what is good enough in ministry. You can read more of Larry's insight at his blog or in Multi-site Church Roadtrip.
A Multi-Site Church Roadtrip: The Birds and Bees of Reproduction
Geoff Surratt continues the roadtrip by visiting with Dave Ferguson of CCC:
I have stolen more multi-site concepts from Dave Ferguson and Community Christian Church than all other multi-site churches combined. Dave is one of the best thinkers (and practioners) in the world when it comes to church reproduction (the corporate kind, not the diaper kind), so I wanted to get his take on the world of multi-site as we continued our Roadtrip across America.
Q: In the book we describe the leadership structure at Community Christian. How important is structure to the success of a church using a multi-site strategy?
A: Our experience at Community and through our NewThing churches is that there are structural shifts when going to two sites; when going to a fourth site and when going to a tenth site. Because of this we are finding that a lot of churches are going to two sites; not very many churches with three sites and there are a whole lot that are going to four sites and more. Why? I think it has to do with structure. Some churches that go to two sites do not think about structure and find it overwhelming and complicated and stop reproducing sites. While there are other churches that think through the structural changes that need to be made and continue to reproduce to three sites, four sites and beyond.
Q: Community Christian does a great job of both planting churches and launching campuses. How do you distinguish between a church planter and a campus pastor?
A: We really believe the same qualities need to be in place for a campus pastor or church planter. We want them to be entrepreneurial, have a leadership gift and comfortable relating to all people (churched and un-churched) in their context. All our NewThing churches are looking to train one leadership resident per site to apprentice and become a campus pastor or church planter.
Q: You and Jon seem to do an amazing job of leading together. What advice would you give to church leaders who are considering employing family members in their ministry?
A: They key to family working together is much like any staff working together: good character, great chemistry and genuine competency. However, (and I'm sure Geoff Surratt will agree with me) it takes a very special and humble leader to allow their brother to be the lead pastor. Jon (like Geoff at Seacoast) could easily be the lead pastor at this Community or any other church; but instead he uses his extraordinary leadership gifts without getting all the kudos that come with being the lead pastor. I have more respect for Jon, than any other church leader I know.
Q: You have been a leader from the very beginning of the multi-site revolution in America. What do you see next on the horizon for multi-site in American churches?
A: I love this question! In fact, Jon and I just finished our next book,Exponential: How You and Your Friends can Start a Missional Church Movementand we talk about this. So here is what I see on the horizon:
- More new sites will be launched by sites other than the original site. In other words we will see new sites reproducing new sites.
- Sites will be launched not based on the competency of the mother church, but on the strengths and needs of the community where the new site is started.
- There will be less of the "We use video" vs. "We develop teachers" battle and more multi-site churches will use both video and in-person teaching.
- A lot more campus pastors will be female and there will be evidence that they are more effective than men in this role which will bring some controversy.
- Multi-site churches will think in terms of launching a region with multiple sites and not one new site at a time.
- Online churches ill not just have one site, but they will also have multiple sites!
- The churches that are effective in reproducing new sites will be the churches that are most effective in reproducing missional communities.
How's that?
Q: In your book The Big Idea you describe how every ministry at Community is on the same page. How does the Big Idea work in a multi-site environment?
A: It was going to multiple sites that caused us to be intentional about implementing the Big Idea. It was our conclusion that having every campus on the same Big Idea would bring alignment to our vision and mission. Practically speaking here is how it works: we plan our Big Idea series a year in advance. Thirteen weeks in advance of the celebration service the teaching team develops and writes a Big Idea "graph" which is a one page summary that gives clear direction and scriptural content. Ten weeks in advance the teaching team plans the whole message in that series and gives writing assignments. The following week, nine weeks in advance our creative arts team plans the creative elements such as video, sketches, music, interactive moments, etc… to better accomplish the Big Idea. This same process is done for all our large group and small groups for adults, students and kids. It is awesome!

Responding to an undercover video showing Mitt Romney claiming that President Obama's voters — 47% of Americans — are "dependent upon government" and "believe they are victims," the GOP presidential candidate's campaign stood by the former governor's claim. "As the governor has made clear all year, he is concerned about the growing number of people who are dependent on the federal government, including the record number of people who are on food stamps, nearly one in six Americans in poverty, and the 23 million Americans who are struggling to find work," Romney spokesperson Gail Gitcho said in a statement. RNC Chairman Reince Preibus agreed, telling CNN, "No, I don't think the candidate's off message at all."

i gave the 3D a try last night and could not get it to display properly on my PS3 or Sony BDP-bx590. Menu was "funky" with letters adjar and over lapping. First couple of minutes seemed out of focus...and then i gave up...Hoping it was just the disc...anyone else experience anthing with this....took a verrrrrry long time to load after several abortive attempts. Of course i was not familiar with the movie....so maybe that is the way it's supposed to be!!!

Chapter One.2 Reviews
uhh, it's a one shot. and the genre doesn't fit it. idk what to pick for a one shot.
I own nothing.
Ryan sat there in silence. He was in the dark in the middle of a playground, on the swings to be exact. He swung back and forth with the light breeze that plagued him. There was always a breeze where he went, no matter where he went. As long as he was breathing, there was a breeze. He was staring downwards at the dirt as he held onto the rusted chains of the swing. The moon was high above his head, his only source of light. He sighed as the wind picked up, the trees blowing fiercely with a cold wind. He shivered. His swing creaked as it moved gently back and forth. He was in control. He, Ryan Ross, was the one who was in control. Nobody else, nobody else needed him. Nobody would care to lose him, nobody. He wanted the breeze to end, for it to stop plaguing him already. He knew there was only one way, the only way out. The light at the end of the long dark tunnel. He sat in silence, staring straight ahead by now. The cool breeze picked up again. The only noise was that of the leaves flowing in the wind. He decided it was time. Then and there. Right now. He picked up the needle that he brought with him. He didn't want it to be painful like a knife. He filled the needle with the cool air, the same air that would soon be in his blood. He put the needle to his neck and winced as it pierced his skin. He let the air out into his bloodstream. He sighed contently, knowing the pain would soon be over. He let the needle drop to the ground. As his body went limp and he fell upon the dirt, the breeze stopped.
Wow, sad...eek, I wrote that...anyways. Tell me if you liked it or not. Please and thanks. Also, should I include the other band members one shots? Yes no? :]
