Couple accused of animal neglect found guilty
A jury has returned guilty verdicts against a Harrison County couple accused of running a filthy no-kill shelter.
Randall and Samantha Lee were charged with animal neglect and neglect of a dependent.
Thirty-six cats, three dogs and four chickens were taken from the home last year.
Four of the cats died.
Defense attorneys unsuccessfully argued the house was messy because the Lees were working to clean up their flooded basement.

An endorsement.
I'm about to do something pretty strange. I'm about to endorse something. Like, an actual thing that promises to do something and costs money. Weird, right?
It's weird because I've come to this point in my life where I just don't feel good about spending money. I feel better spending very little money on things that usually cost more *i.e., THRIFTING*, but even that has started to make me feel kinda icky. This is partly because I've chosen to stay home with my child while he's young and with Adam being a PhD student, well, we broke. But this part of my life, the broke days, is really nothing new and has mostly started to become a way of life for me and my family. There's no better way to discern all the shit you don't need from the shit you do need than a lack of funds.
So when an old friend offered to send me some products that she feels really strongly about, at first I hesitated—briefly—but then I told myself: what do you have to lose? I knew she'd send me something worthy since our values on the things we allow into our homes are similar. I trusted her. So I decided to do myself a solid and give it a go.
Thankfully, I was not disappointed. The company is called Radiantly You. She sent me their RY Deodorant, Dead Sea Mud Soap, and the All Natural Counter Spray.
Here's why I DON'T BUY household/beauty products: the stuff I trust, I can't afford. The stuff I can stand to smell—enjoy smelling—I can't afford.
So I rinse my hair with baking soda, bypass deodorant, moisturize with coconut oil or Trader Joe's inexpensive Vitamin E oil, when I can get to one, and begrudgingly buy natural toothpaste, laundry detergent, and dish soap. I had actually made a ton of counter spray I was pretty happy with before I got this stuff in the mail, but, admittedly, this stuff wins. It smells AMAZING, so citrusy, and cuts straight through most anything. It does feel pretty nice to have things smell fresh and clean again, without any harsh chemical backlash.
I went on a very serious natural deodorant hunt a while back, which included making my own, and no good came of it, but I held true and avoided the chemicals. I did also stop wearing anything fitted in the armpits. Not sure if that was a shift in style or out of necessity, but anyway, this stuff is pretty wonderful. It doesn't last me all day, but it smells so great that when I do reapply, I feel fresh and clean again. The tea tree, orange, peppermint combo is super refreshing and natural smelling. It's a little goopy, but honestly the best texture I've tried in the natural department, and I've tried MANY.
The soap has a very earthy, mild smell and a great lather. It also rinses really clean.
I'm really going to try and prioritize these products in my home. The counter spray is 32 oz, which will last me FOREVER, and the refill concentrate is only $3.50. The deodorant is $7.50, which is pretty high, but again should last me quite awhile and is around the same price point as the deodorants at the natural food stores I frequent. There are other products I'd love to try, especially the Essential Oil Bug Away, and as my friend told me, there is a $7.00 flat rate shipping fee, so I'll want to get everything at once.
Check out their website if you've been fighting the same household/beauty product battle as I! You can also contact my friend Evelyn Homanick through her site at www.radiantlyyou.com/cleanlife or by phone at 206.653.4067 for a catalog and/or more information.
Happy, healthy, yummy smelling cleaning!

Need more intensity from pacers: Mahendra Singh Dhoni
India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni Wednesday said his fast bowlers have to be ready to bowl long spells if needed during the two-match Test series against New Zealand that starts here Thursday.
Dhoni, who blamed the bowlers for India's 0-4 loss in the ODIs, asked his pacers to show the same kind of intensity they had showed during the Test series in South Africa.
"In South Africa, I felt they did a very good job. Even when we bowled too many overs, when they came for the last spell, they were still putting in a lot of effort. That is what is important. You don't want to give away easy runs. Let the opposition score off good shots. It was a good performance from them, depending on the scenario," he said.
Dhoni said on New Zealand tracks, that offer little help to the spinners, they fast bowlers may have to go for long spells.
"The good thing was, their approach was really fantastic (in South Africa). What we have done as a team is, I like to give them short spells so that they are fresh thinking about the third or the fourth spell, if needed. Use them in short bursts. But if the situation demands, they will have to go for long spells. With (Ravindra) Jadeja, he can hold one side, he can bowl long spells, of course, that depends on how well he is bowling," he said.
Dhoni said Indians pacers have to be patient and that is where veteran Zaheer Khan's experience will come handy.
"It is about bringing up new plans, and helping the youngsters to execute those plans. In the subcontinent, at times the only thing fast bowlers look for is wickets. They want to get wickets in each and every spell. Sometimes they only have two or three spells in the whole day.
"But over here the scenario changes. They have to bowl more overs, they have to keep coming back for second spell, third spell. Sometimes if you are bowling well, maybe even a fourth spell on the same day, which means you have to be a bit more patient. Bowl one line and length. Try to build on the pressure. It will be a real help to the fast bowlers as he (Zaheer) is someone who has played a lot outside the subcontinent. It is always good to have an experienced bowler in the side," he said.
Dhoni said having Jadeja as the lone spinner in the side will also give the pacers some rest since the spinner can bowl long spell and hold up one end.
"In the Test format, what we have seen is he is definitely someone who can keep it tight," Dhoni said. "He gives the liberty to our fast bowlers to attack a bit more. Jadeja can keep one end closed, and not give too many runs so that we can build some pressure and the fast bowlers can attack from the other side."

Free speech wins: Supreme Court favors Westboro in funeral case
- 8-1 the vote in favor of Westboro's free speech rights source
» Sad, not surprising, but understandable: The fact of the matter is, while we would've loved to see Westboro blocked from picketing funerals as a political message, the First Amendment is pretty set in stone and, as much as we dislike the ramifications of this decision, it certainly was the right one.

A cake mix makes this so simple. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. If strawberries are not in season, you can use 2 16 oz. bags of frozen strawberries. I used a non-stick baking pan sprayed with Pam and it didn't stick. I think next time, I will add some raspberries and maybe some blueberries in with the strawberries.

In 1984, on this day the Commander of the Thunder Bay Defense Force (TBDF) Colonel Giraud Leppe (pictured) overthrew the legitimate government of the northwestern portion of the pre-Doomsday Canadian province of Ontario and declared the formation of a Social Republic with himself as President. A compressed installment of the fabulous 1983: Doomsday thread published on Althistory Wikia.
Doomsday Reaches Northern OntarioAs the head of one of the last survivalist governments in North America, his predecessor Mayor Walter Assef had waited for a telephone call from the Canadian Government that would never come. He had however been forced to organize the TBDF from former Canadian military units in order to repel increasing number of raiders who were crossing the border from the former U.S. state of Minnesota. After the defeat of a large raiding party at the Battle of of Neebing, Leppe and his officers had decided to take matters into their own hands.
During the Doomsday conflict, the nearest nuclear detonation had occured in Winnipeg and at least in the short-term the 90,000 human population of Thunder Bay was largely unaffected. However by the harsh winter with temperatures dropping to their customary level of minus thirty matters had become desperate with food stocks starting to run low. The harvest was a disaster, and fishing stocks fell victim to radiation poisoning. Rationing was introduced, followed by a series of increasingly draconian measures, but it was by no means certain that the Social Republic - by now a Fascist Mini-state - could long survive.

Can the stress tests breathe new life into PPIP?
According to the FT today, there are increasing signs that the PPIP is going to go the way of the MLEC — which is to say, nowhere. Potential buyers are worried about regulatory uncertainty, while potential buyers have very little interest in selling at fire-sale levels.
Meanwhile, Ryan Avent reckons that the government is going to have to come up with hundreds of billions of dollars, somewhere, to recapitalize banks in the wake of its stress tests — even as it doesn't have hundreds of billions of dollars, and there's no chance that it will be able to get hundreds of billions of dollars from Congress.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Just as the original TARP was designed to buy up toxic assets and then got repurposed to inject capital directly into the banks, might the same thing happen with the PPIP? Might it be the case that investors who are wary of buying up hard-to-value toxic assets might be more keen on leveraging FDIC guarantees to buy common stock in public banks? And if Timmy asks her nicely, is there any way that Sheila Bair could say no to such a plan?
I'm not clever enough to come up with a structure which would make such a plan workable — it's hard to see what kind of event would trigger the FDIC guarantee. Still, I'm sure there's an options whiz out there who could construct something. The market could then be asked to value those equity-like securities, and any private investor — even you or me — would have the ability to buy them at the market price, thereby helping to recapitalize the banks concerned.
Neither the stress tests nor the PPIP has really gone according to plan since they were announced: maybe some kind of marriage of the two is the only way of saving them.

There is a common thread on many of the posts here, whether it's about banks, auto manufacturers and dealers, or mortgages. They all need re-structuring because their debt is too large to be serviced. Bailing them out is not fair, and letting them fail would invite chaos, which is one of the things we expect our government to prevent. Effectively, debt needs to be written down and converted into equity, which isn't easy to do when there are lots of bondholders.
So what we need are pre-packaged bankruptcies and foreclosures. Let's start with mortgages, because their devaluation has led to the collapse of many banks. The securitization of mortgages has made it difficult, if not impossible, to renegotiate them, so the borrower either has to make payments or default. Let's create a program that combines a foreclosure with a short sale back to the homeowner at a lower price, with the lower payments that the federally subsidized interest rates would allow. The CDO that owns the mortgage has to be able to deal with foreclosures, so this would appear like any other default, and it would then establish a real value for the mortgage, while permitting the homeowner to stay in their home and stay current on payments (obviously not all borrowers would qualify for this plan, only those who actually live in the houses and have a verifiable income, the kind of things you used to have to prove when you took out a mortgage).
If banks can provide a believable estimate of what their loans are worth, they can raise enough capital to become solvent. If they can't sell common shares on their own, the government should buy enough to make them solvent, and fire the management, and then start selling the shares on the open market. It might take a while, but I haven't seen any other way to get rid of the entrenched management, whose top priority seems to be to protect their jobs and lifestyles.
There is no viable solution for GM and Chrysler other than bankruptcy. They have too much debt for the level of business they can profitably generate, so if they are to stay in business, they need some combination of write-downs and conversion of debt into equity. They can't get ALL of the bondholders to agree, so they all have to get the same punishment from the teacher, I mean the same devaluation from bankruptcy court. The unions and dealers won't make enough concessions, so they will have to start all over with new contracts. We don't need to have the two companies file for bankruptcy and then die off while they are reorganized, it can be done in advance.
The PPIP was a gift to the banks, as it basically guaranteed loans for buyers of toxic debt, but the intended participants of this plan are too stupid and greedy to realize what a great deal it is for them. Their mistakes, which resulted in false profits that spawned giant bonuses, would be effectively swept under the rug and paid for by the government, in the name of keeping the banking industry from collapsing. That's not good enough for them, they want their old jobs back, with their old salaries and bonuses, and nobody to tell them what to do. They don't want this deal? Fine, see you at Chapter 11.
Why all the financial engineering shenanigans?
Like killing two birds with the *same* issuance of low-interest federal debt, Congress should:
» Authorize and appropriate say $2 trillion to recapitalize insolvent bad banks (under the auspices of "prompt corrective action");
» Gift the common shares (including voting rights) to the American people; and then
» Contribute them to the Social Security & Medicare trust funds to cure their $56 trillion fiscal exposure (75-year horizon).
As Albert Einstein said, the most powerful force in the universe is compound interest!
Furthermore, the *entire* (performing & non-performing) loan portfolio of the insolvent bad bank should be put into a Chapter 7 bankruptcy estate as a pure investment trust for orderly liquidation, much like an insurance company in runoff mode. The implication for unsecured creditors is that if the loans were held to maturity (e.g., Enron Creditors Recovery Corporation is still in business 7 years after Enron declared bankruptcy) they would probably be made whole! More importantly unlike PIPP, the taxpayer will not be involved with any toxic assets, and will take on only those risks associated with an ultra-clean newly recapitalized bank. And for the economy, the tabula rasa (blank tablet) loan portfolio means that there would be no excuses for the ultra-clean new banks not to lend. For example, under the 10% reserve ratio, a capitalization of $1 trillion could create $10 trillion lending capacity *overnight*. How is that for jump-starting the economy!
In addition to the lush dividends from the ultra-clean newly recapitalized banks (per the positively sloped yield curve and zero initial loan losses), I would also add interest income from the AAA-rated TALF asset-backed securities (which would also reopen the ABS markets) to the federal entitlement trust funds.
If you think about it, how else is Congress going to close the $56 trillion fiscal exposure without raising taxes or touching the third rail of cutting Social Security & Medicare benefits? Moreover for President Obama, this is how he can both balance the federal budget and pass universal health care. How is that for a magic silver bullet!
Bottom line: There is no reason for Geithner, Summers, Bair and Bernanke to engage in financial engineering shenanigans. Congress would be more than happy to authorize and appropriate trillions if the same issuance of low-interest federal debt were used to bailout both the banks and the Social Security & Medicare trust funds (and quell populist rage by having Wall Street work for Main Street). Unfortunately all this is academic and moot since Geithner's stress test is not at all stressful. Sigh.
As you may remember, I have complained that nobody really understands the Geithner Plan and that hence it is just increasing uncertainty, instead of turning some of it into calculable risk of some sorts. Which means that the most recent non-developments are not exactly surprising from my perspective. But there is another reason why we should not be surprised by these non-developments.
I have argued that the Bernanke-Geithner-Summers policy has, in fact, committed itself to a very special sort of "triage". Of course, not in the sense Nouriel Roubini has advocated, namely, to take over the banks temporarily and then recapitalise those that are still basically solvent and eliminate the zombies. That would be tantamount to challenging the financial oligarchy, which is something Bernanke, Geithner and Summers are loath even to contemplate.
Rather, BGS are deliberately trying to avoid tackling head-on the seemingly insuperable problems of toxic assets and the plight of people whose mortgages are already under water. Instead, their policy can be seen as "subsidizing the solvent." So, the idea is to bolster the creditworthiness of the "creditworthy" customers and the solvency of "solvent" banks. If a relatively stable policy plateau can be reached and some sort of "return to normalcy" can be achieved, it is hoped that the rising tide will make the now insuperable problems easier to tackle.
There is no doubt in my mind that this B-G-S policy has been a major factor that explains the (undoubtedly partially correct) impression of greater stability, both in the financial markets and in the wider economy. But this policy has not been meant as a way to solve the problems of "legacy assets and loans" now; neither has it been the intention of B-G-S to do now anything substantial to help the plight of those persons who cannot refinance their loans.
Which means that if and when the nonoperative nature of the Geithner Plan becomes all-too-evident, it will be replaced by some other smoke-and-mirrors delaying tactics.
If some sort of economic recovery begins in the latter part of 2009 and it continues next year, B-G-S will stick to their policy, in the hope that they can address the truly difficult questions piecemeal and with the help of revived animal spirits.
Of course, the Four Trillion Question is whether the global developments permit such a scenario. If they do, Bernanke, Geithner and Summers will become the saviors and heroes of the establishment. If not, they will become political zombies and eventually be sacked from their duties.

Thank-You For Your Photographer
A simple thank-you gift with free printable tag to give to your photographer
When Stephanie from Pink Pearl Photography took our family photo's we were delighted. She has a great bubbly personality, so smiling for her only came natural. She was so fun to work with, and we loved the pictures she took. She went above-and-beyond her duties in giving us extra care and service. We really appreciate her.
We wanted to give her something special as a thank you from us, so when I found this iconic vintage style flash-camera at Ross, I knew I had found the right item.
She has small children, so this metal decorative camera will be child-proof and NOT break
(unless they throw it at the window, of course,
which might break the window, not the camera....
Hmmmm, I might have to re-think this...).
A thank-you tag was attached to the camera and the gift was done. I hope she likes it. Personally, I think it will look terrific on her mantle.
Just print off the free tag and attach it to the gift you have selected for
your above-and-beyond photographer.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
If ever you are looking for a greatphotographer in South-East Idaho, you have found her today. Stephanie is a hoot to work with and her results are fabulous.

A wonderful vintage poster from the Library of Congress, dated back somewhere to the 1940-1950's.
I love reading on chilly nights, curled up on the couch with a warm blanket. Better yet: reading with my kids on that same couch!
So during this month of October, grab the vintage poster download, a book, and a warm blanket and enjoy!

I took a board, just kinda eyeballed the size of it, cut it off, painted it black. Sanded the edges. Added a piece of burlap to the front with some Mod Podge. Then adhered the print to the front. Adding upholstery tacks to the corners finishes it off.

Michigan Football: Nebraska at Michigan — What Happened and What It Means — Part II
Michigan, especially early, ran Tuossaint into the middle against inside blitzes for a gain of between minus two and no yards. Going to the tackle slot yielded only one or two yards. Green was able to stretch the yardage by one or two yards on the above plays. Still, Michigan's usual offensive product went something like this: first and ten, second and 11, third and 11 and punt. The offense is almost going backwards on probably half of Michigan's snaps the last two weeks. Watching backs in other games have running slots two or three yards wide and obtaining big results is near depressing.It is painful to watch Fitz Toussaint's attempts at pass protection. It is buffoon like to actually believe that he is the best Michigan has. Constant discussion occurs about how difficult this task is. But on one play yesterday, Toussaint actually reached out and touched a pass rusher like the tribal Native Americans counting coup by touching the enemy. If he is healthy enough to run the ball, he is healthy enough to take out someone's legs, anyone, forget about which guy is mine, take someone out, anyone! While not enjoying criticism, the failure of Toussaint on pass blocking is egregious. It may well be better to just send Toussaint out to the flat and hit more screens. But that means be quick, as the blitz will arrive in two or three seconds.
The line, as Spielman pointed out is outnumbered. They have also appeared to be confused. But blocking five against six or seven rushers mathematically and physically does not work. The antidote can be zone blocking to take up space and quick offensive schemes that burn the blitzers, making blitzing a true risk, reward venture, not the current high reward results defenses are achieving.Giving up 17 points to a wounded Nebraska offense is not a football sin, but unfortunately with the Michigan offensive woes, it was enough for a Cornhusker win. Two points: opponents are taking away Mattison's coaching moves with the hurry up offense (subs are limited) and poor Michigan tackling let Nebraska off the hook. There were several times Michigan had players behind the line and dove or whiffed, instead of driving and wrapping. Sometimes this indicates lack of speed, and sometimes this indicates sloppy technique.
Michigan did not defend Nebraska's option plays (numerous versions) well at times and this led to the game-winning touchdown. On this play Clark held the edge, waited as long as he could and then took out the quarterback. Raymon Taylor was blocked into the endzone making the pitch open, and Ross was shielded off by a big tackle and stopped in his tracks, letting the play have a big alley for the easy touchdown. The scenario of Michigan giving up long drives to lose games is disturbing.What does this mean? To the writer this means that Michigan is now playing for next year and tryouts start Monday. The long list of secondary players will continue to be evaluated, but it looks like the youngsters will get more time. Look for more "experimentation." Coaches need to gauge attitudes and efforts. Coaches have a choice of working on the fundamental mistakes this offense continues to make or focus instead on normal game planning. Next week is a travel week against a Northwestern team that hits the edge hard and has enjoyed some time to heal from wounds. Northwestern's offense gives Michigan fits. The question is how well Michigan's offense can score on the average, but hard playing, Wildcat defense.
At this time, there are more questions than answers. Unity, loyalty, commitment, will all be needed as the season concludes. The concept of lack of leadership, as a problem, is rejected by this writer as unfounded. The problems lie on the field, and this group has had plenty of leadership opportunities.

Shamukh!This blog is run by an actual Dwarf. It mostly consists of stuff related to "The Hobbit" and J.R.R. Tolkien in general. I have very soft spot for Dwarves and everything connected them, including Khuzdul and rather creative insults. Thorin Oakenshiled is the light of my life, and I'd defend him until the end. Balin's tomb is my tomb, and Dwarrwodelf and the scene in the Western Guardroom mean a lot to me because of reasons.

And they can dial it up to how strong the want it. So they turned it up a little bit and the tree shakes a little bit, they turn it up a lot, and it shakes all the way across. So me and Aidan, we were going, "What are the stunts he's doing?" We were lie, "We can do that. We can do all the stunts he did." Trying to prove we can do what the stunties do, which we can't. So Andy, for the last take, went, "Okay, yeah, knock it up." And they turned it up really high. I mean, it literally almost threw us out of the tree.

I have a query regarding image size for full background. What is the best size to use to make the images look good on all devices, for example ipads and tablets, laptops and desktops
Thanks for contacting!
For a fullwidth slider you need to use images of at least 2500 width to make them slide properly. The preferable ratio is 16×9.
Thank you!
Hi, I want to be able to make the menu stick right to the edge of the window, so that the small gap is not there. I have looked in the css but cannot find the code that I need to change. Could you please help me with this this.
The website is www.stsgroupinvestments.com, what I would like is for the menu to sit flush against the edge of the window.
Hi again)
Please submit us a support ticket so that our support team could help you with this – submit a ticket. Just please add the needed credentials to your ticket.
Thank you!
A little while back you did some adjustments to the code to make slight changes to the theme so I would like to say thanks for that.
I have one other query. I am putting this website together for a client and they would like the text on the full screen slider to be in the bottom right hand corner of the scree, which when I adjust the co-ordinates it works fine on laptops, however on I pads and tablets the text cannot be seen, because its pushed off the screen is there anyway to rectify this.
Secondly, on smaller screens full background images are cut off. Is there anyway to be able to show the full image.
Thank You
Hi again. In fact Pacifico theme has a fixed layout, this is listed in theme description. This means that images, like other elements are non-responsive and will not resize. Appreciate your understanding.
Thank you!
Hello. Is this theme compatible with WordPress 3.8? Thanks.
Thank you for contacting!
Yes, you can upgrade no problem.
Thank you!
Hi, I was about to buy the template but just noticed that its compatible with IE9 and IE10. Is it possible to get the support for atleast IE8 also? Quick reply will be highly appreciated. Thanks.
Thank you for being interested in Pacifico!
Yet, we cannot guarantee 100% compatibility with this browser version.
Thanks, should there be any other questions please feel free to ask!
Hi there cmsmasters and future buyers,
I just installed Pacifico, there is a little learning curve to properly use it (still not 100% there yet). Providing the preview site as an example like it is done with most themes would have been useful. The extensive "how to" document somewhat fill this gap but not entirely.
Anyway I like the theme so far, but I have several problems that make it difficult to built the site I want. 1) The shortcode buttons doesn't always appear when I am writing a page. I have to reload the page several times until I can see them. 2) There is no description (or I missed it) of how to add a portfolio to a page. I want a page with different albums of images like on the preview site http://pacifico.cmsmasters.net/portfolio/ but if I can make a portfolio type page (add page) and a portfolio (add portfolio), I can't have portfollio 1, 2 and 3 displayed on a page (and ideally I want to have different set of portfolios on different pages). 3) The whole WP admin menu is very slow (I have to wait about 30s before a new page appears), but this is probably not the cmsmasters fault. 4) Most global modifications won't appear globally. E.g. I change the background, I add a page, I modify the layout of the theme… and it will only get changed in a couple pages the other stay as they were. 5) I don't get how the menu works and the WP link that it is provide in the "how to" document doesn't help much. That is probably more a WP than a Pacifico problem but still I can't use the menu the way it is described in the "how to" document. My workaround is to just have a hierarchy of pages.
Sorry if this already have been discussed but I didn't really see that in the comments. Please comment whether those are bugs from Pacifico, WP, my browser… or just because I missed something important (but I may not be the only buyer or potential buyer in this case).
Thank you,
Thanks for contacting and your feedback about the theme!
As to the shortcodes buttons and loading speed of admin panel – we do not seem to be experiencing the issue you describe. Please see if using the "show/hide kitchen sink" button will help with the shortcodes -see the screenshot. Regarding portfolio – portfolio is created with portfolio page template that you choose when adding a page, but you need to make sure you have added portfolio projects first. Please see the screenshot.
Regarding global modifications – we would appreciate if you submitted us a support ticket so that we could see the issue from your end – submit a ticket. The support team will also be able to help you with the menu and guide you on how to set it up. Just please make sure to add all the needed credentials.
Thank you!
Just in case anyone else is looking for this, the Project portfolio images are managed through the wordpress GALLERY function. So if after publishing your project page, you need to add new images you would do so through the "additional images" panel within the project and make changes via the WP GALLERY within the media manager screen. As it says on page, the thumbs are not visible until you close out the page and then re-load it.
Thanks for your consideration. Yet, should there be anything you need assistance on, or should you have any questions please feel free to ask!
I am currently trying to add the Google font "Engagement" to the list and it has been unsuccessful . Could you assist on this simple problem.
Thanks for contacting!
If you wish, you can submit us a support ticket so that the support team could take a look at it and see what could have gone wrong there – sebmit a ticket.
Thank you!
Hello! I update the wordpress version and the admin is empty, don't show the information, only the template show information, Do you know how fix it? thanks.
Thanks for contacting!
In fact we would need to take a look at it from your end in order to help you, so we would appreciate if you submitted us a support ticket – submit now. Just please make sure to add the needed credentials.
Thank you!
I really like this theme – hope you can release a responsive version.
Thank you for being interested Pacifico theme!
As to its responsive version – we might consider making this some time in future, but in fact currently we do not have any plans for this, so we cannot guarantee that for sure. Appreciate your understanding.
Thank you!
I just purchased this theme, How do I utilized the blog features? or is this theme only designed to be used with wordpress?
Thanks for contacting!
In fact, not quite sure to understand you question, could you please be more specific on what you mean?
Thank you!
Hello, I am interesting of buying your theme and i have some questions. 1)Is it compatible with wpml translation? will i be able to make it 2 language? 2)Is it possible to add sound into the theme? 3)can change the background color of the left menu thanks
Thanks for being interested in Pacifico theme!
As to your questions – in fact the theme was not tested with wpml plugin, so there is not much we can say regarding this. As to translations – the theme comes with translations to some languages, please check product description. You can add a translations to another language manually too. the sound can be added by using en external plugin perhaps, but we can't advise a certain one. The background color can be changed via applying changes to css.
Hey, can you please tell me what must be the dimensions of the main background image, logo and the photos in the portfolio! what format should i use? png, jpg? Also the background image how many kb is recommended ?
Thanks for contacting!
For backgrounds we used images of 2560 × 1440px; for portfolio featured images – 690×552px; and 170×132px; for logo. Most images are .jpg, logo is a .png

Hi. I wanted update to version 1.6 but I'm reluctant because of the instructions… Do I really replace the folder "pacifico" located inside of fix_1.6 with the "pacifico" folder residing in wp-content/themes instead of overwriting the contents within the folder?
I ask because the pacifico folder on my server seems to have a lot more files than the pacifico folder in the fix_1.6 folder.
Thanks for your time.
Thanks for asking!
To update your theme you need to use the files located in the Updates folder to substitute the same files on your server. this means that the files that are not located in the Updates folder and are not listed in a readme file inside this folder, should not be replaced or deleted. Updates folder includes only the files that were altered in theme updates. In any case, feel free to contact our support for help – submit a ticket.
Thank you!

Hi guys, Can I get a much faster load on the caption ? My slides are made to fade into each other quite fast and I want the captions to go as fast. Unfortunately, as the caption loads, my slide already goes to another.

Hello there
I wanted to know if the template + WooCommerce are compatible with?
thank you
Thanks for your interest.
Yet, Pacifico does not have this feature. Perhaps you can take a look at our latest theme – GoodDay, today we are adding WooCommerce functionality for it, should be available within 24 hours or so – http://themeforest.net/item/goodday-multipurpose-responsive-wordpress-theme/7964929
It is much more up-to-date than Pacifico theme and has a much much wider functionality. See the 10 different websites we created with it, all of these are made with one theme. You can navigate to these websites from the landing page.
Appreciate your interest, should there be any other questions, please feel free to ask!
Hi there!
Are you planning to put it responsive?
Thanks for contacting!
In fact, we do not have this in plans for the near future at least. Perhaps you could take a look at some of our newer theme, as they feature wider functionality too. Appreciate your interest.
Thank you!
Thank you for reply. Best.
hi there is it possible to keep the aspect ratio of a picture in full screen mode (http://buildinternet.com/project/supersized/).
Thanks for contacting!
Not quite sure about what you mean. Could you please explain in more details?
Thank you!
check: http://christophsteiner.net/ – if you resize the browser-window the backgroundpicutre gets squeezed – the pic doesn't resize properly (as it does with supersized)...
See what you mean, yet please note that Pacifico theme does not have a responsive layout, and it is stated in item description. It will not adapt to screen size. Appreciate your understanding.
Thank you!

High Five for 2012!
A little round up of what we've achieved since we first High Fived!..
When we held the first High Five party back in October 2010 it was only meant to be to be a one off event, I mean you could only expect to put on a party with such a big line up once. And so we partied like that. To be honest with you as I dragged myself home on the Tuesday morning (the party had started on Sunday afternoon) I wasn't thinking of the next High Five but by the end of that week following the feedback we'd received and more importantly seeing how much we had raised for Macmillan Cancer Support I knew we must do it again.
Now with three parties under our belt and a lot of good times I pleased to say that in total we have raised a total £4,800 for charities including Macmillan Cancer Support, The Meningitis Trust, The Sadie Rose Clifford Appeal and Parkinson's UK.
Each party has had its own little twist making that extra bit special whilst maintaining the concept of having a shit hot line up and supporting a great cause, we've been lucky enough to have the following DJ at High Five:
Audiojack, Buckley, PBR Streetgang, Gavin Herily, Dave Beer, Tristan Da Cunha, Frenchy, Krysko, Greg Lord, Death on the Balcony, Ryan Shaw, Jacob Kelly, Matt Playford, Rob James, James Barnsley, Jon Woodall, Si Morrell and many more, over 50 DJs have graced the decks in just three parties!
We continue into 2012 with two more parties in planning, this time away from our original home The Loft to add something new to the High Five concept but we will still be keeping it good old solid house music all night long!
A break down of the fundraising in full
Party number 1: High Five for Macmillan Cause: Macmillan Cancer Support Fundraising total: £1,500
Party number 2: High Five for Summer Cause: The Meningitis Trust Fundraising total: £1,500
Party number 3: High Five for Halloween Cause: The Sadie Rose Clifford Appeal/Parkinson's UK Fundraising total: £1,800 (£1,400 - SRC Appeal, £400 - Parkinson's UK)

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
January 28, 1813: Pride and Prejudice is published.
Jane Austen's most famous work, a satire of society and manners, was published 200 years ago today. Like all of her works, Pride and Prejudice was published anonymously - Austen was identified on the title page only as "the author of Sense and Sensibility". Austen completed the original version in 1797. at which point it was entitled First Impressions, but this version was rejected for publication. By 1812 she had apparently revised the manuscript significantly, and it was this version that was eventually published, though under the (equally appropriate) title Pride and Prejudice, so named as to avoid confusion with other novels.
For historical context - Pride and Prejudice was written during the late Georgian era and is typically associated (along with Austen herself) with the Regency era, during which the future king George IV ruled as Prince Regent in his father's stead. Although this was a time of great political and social change, both at home and abroad, Pride and Prejudice touches sparingly on these issues and instead focuses on the lives of the landed gentry and the not-quite-aristocrats. In addition, the novel cannot be neatly classified into one or the other of the major literary movements of the time; although Austen wrote during the Romantic period, her writing had little in common with the movement. In fact, Charlotte Brontë was a notable critic of the book, citing a lack of passion and emotion as her main complaint:
I had not seen "Pride and Prejudice," till I read that sentence of yours, and then I got the book. And what did I find? An accurate daguerreotyped portrait of a common-place face; a carefully fenced, highly cultivated garden, with neat borders and delicate flowers; but no glance of a bright, vivid physiognomy, no open country, no fresh air, no blue hill, no bonny beck. I should hardly like to live with her ladies and gentlemen, in their elegant but confined houses.
Perhaps the main difference between the two was that Austen saw the world as a comedy rather than a tragedy ("For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbors, and laugh at them in our turn?").

NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center posted a pre-solicitation notice to FedBizOps on March 14, announcing that the agency would continue to allow purchases via the current Solutions for Enterprise Wide Procurement program through Oct. 31.
The effective ordering period for that government-wide acquisition contract, known as SEWP IV, had been scheduled end April 30, and give way to the next-generation SEWP program. The extension is intended to provide adequate transition time for SEWP V contracts, and "ensure uninterrupted support to meet critical requirements until the follow-on competitive contracts are awarded."
Some 50 companies participate in the SEWP IV iteration of the contract, which originally began in 1993. Proposals for SEWP V were due Nov. 15, 2013. At that time, SEWP Program Manager Joanne Woytek told FCW that fiscal 2013 had been SEWP's busiest year in terms of both new orders and modifications of existing orders, with more than $2.5 billion for the year.

GMOs face new and improved regulation in Hawaii, but China kicks our imports to the curb for sub-par GMO-related quality control; meanwhile Whole Foods ditches suppliers over genetically modified ingredients. If you still eat animal meat, beware! Several meat recalls are underway -- none of them (so far) involve horse meat, but that could change if horse slaughter's allowed to resume as planned.

An English Springer Spaniel named Hendrix ended up taking a serious detour on his way from New Jersey to Phoenix this week.
He ended up in Ireland after being put on the wrong flight.
United Airlines spokeswoman Megan McCarthy says the 6-year-old dog was traveling in cargo Thursday when the mix-up happened. When the error was realized, she says the airline took immediate steps to get Hendrix back to his owner.
Phoenix television station KNXV reports (http://bit.ly/YyMVte ) that the first word owner Meredith Grant got about the mix-up was in a phone call from the airline before Hendrix's original flight was supposed to land in Phoenix.
Grant says she felt like someone punched her in the stomach after finding out her dog had been sent overseas.
Hendrix was returned, and the airline apologized and offered a full refund.

Chloe Moretz now the face of Aeropostale brand
By SAMANTHA CRITCHELL
The Associated PressFirst published Jul 09 2012 02:22PM
At age 15, actress Chloe Grace Moretz is already an ambassador.
It's for Aeropostale, the youthful fashion brand, and it's a job that's likely to come with some clout and influence — especially with teenage shoppers.
Moretz's new gig was to be announced later Monday. She will be featured in advertisements through next spring, largely wearing clothing she's selected and styled herself. She will also curate collections in-store and online.
"I get my own section, I got to pull my own clothes. Girls can go and see what I love and what I wear in the shoots. It's a way for me to be in touch with girls," Moretz said in a recent phone interview.
Moretz starred in "Hugo" and "The Amityville Horror" and has the title role in the upcoming remake of the horror classic "Carrie."
The young actress said she sees a shift in her fan base since her Aeropostale ad campaign began appearing in magazines a few weeks ago. She noted her screen roles until now have been in films that typically attract adults. "I was in the airport a few days ago and these girls were reading their Teen Vogues, and then the girls came up to me!"
She describes her own style as fun, flirty and colorful, and she lives in skinny jeans cuffed at the ankle when she's not working. Most of her style cues come from her mother, but she greatly admires the look cultivated by Michelle Pfeiffer, her co-star in "Dark Shadows."
"She has the coolest clothes," Moretz gushed.
Moretz says she hasn't regretted one fashion choice she's made yet, whether it's for the first day of school or a celebrity-filled red carpet. "Fashion is another way to hone your artistic ability and to express your personality."
(Her favorite back-to-school outfit was in early grade school, she recalls, when she wore a blue dress covered with yellow elephants.)
Choosing Moretz for the brand was ultimately an easy decision, but not one that company officials took lightly, said Scott Birnbaum, senior vice president of Aeropostale marketing and e-commerce. The brand did its homework, seeking input from magazine editors, photographers and other industry insiders.
"When we met Chloe, it was really an instant love affair," he said. "She has such great style, she can mix it up. She wears great high-end designers and everyday stuff."
"We think she's a role model," he adds. "She's quirky and actually really funny, and those are things our brand stands for."

Hypothesis. At this point, that's all mock drafts are.
The athletes in question are hypothesized to be the answer to an individual team's question – but in following scientific protocol, there will be much testing upcoming, such as the combine and pro days, visits and interviews…
…and by the time the NFL Draft approaches in late April, the hypothesis will be come theory – athletes will be theorized to be the best fit with a certain team…and then the entire thing is blown apart when reality takes over, and some coach pulls a Belichick and takes a player that fits no theory, not even a hypothesis, and jangles the entire draft to it's core.
It's crazy and a huge waste of time and somebody pays a select group of people to hypothesize which athlete will be selected by which team for whatever reason…and in the end these people will be wrong more often than they are right, yet we continue to read what they have to say.
Why? Because we love our team. We are intrigued. Some young greyhound is going to get drafted by our grizzled old coach and bring hope and the promise of a new beginning. For some, the draft is Easter, a birthday and Christmas morning all bundled into a neat 3-day package by ESPN…
Over the next 12 weeks, we will be constantly updating our board in an attempt to guess what Bill Belichick is going to do with his five picks in April's draft…because the more testing that is done to the athletes – the more every moment of their lives are scrutinized, the more their story becomes more clear – the more we will want them on our team, or the more we won't…
It's not an inexact science – it's not even a science at all.
It's just a hypothesis which becomes a theory – and it really never becomes anything more than that.
The growing trend in the NFL is that when a team wins a coin toss, more often than not that team elects to defer to the second half, meaning that they will go on defense to start the game and take the opening kickoff of the second half.
That being said, it is entirely possible that the Patriots will elect to defer their 1st round pick in order to piggyback an extra 2nd rounder…
Going with trends in recent history, it is safe to assume that Belichick is not going to be satisfied with the number of draft picks he has, and will deal off his 1st rounder to some team desperate to move up into the 1st round from the 2nd, and that he will only do that for no less than team's 2nd and also their 4th rounder.
For the sake of argument, and almost completely at random, let's say that the Arizona Cardinals needed to move up to grab a quarterback and have to move up into the 1st round to get their guy before Jacksonville pounces on him…and they come knocking. So the Patriots end up with two second rounders – in this random scenario the 38th and 59th picks – their own 3rd round pick and Arizona's 4th, #100 overall.
Given that this draft is top heavy with defensive talent, the Patriots could get perhaps two defensive backs that they covet in the second and third rounds, then pull a receiver out of their hoodie, and then get creative from that point.
The Super Bowl hasn't even been played, so this earliest of speculation is just that – speculation.
Keeping that in mind, we offer a pre-Super Bowl, pre-Combine short list of players who would most likely be available and would fill the needs of the Patriots if they were to draft today, given the trade scenario:
David Amerson, CB/FS, 6'3″ 200lbs, North Carolina State: Skill-Set Summary: (Pictured above) Amerson has an extremely rare skill set; it is obvious to everybody that he has tremendous ball skills. When the ball is in the air, Amerson attacks it like a wide receiver. Amerson is fabulous in zone coverage. While his ballhawking stands out the most, he has superb instincts. Amerson reads quarterbacks eyes and is extremely quick to adjust to receiver's routes. With his quickness to break on the ball, he has an uncanny ability to get in position to make a play.
Jonathan Cyprien, SS, 6′ 0″ 210lbs, Florida International: Aggressive playing style and active demeanor. Enjoys the physical nature of the position. Meets the ballcarrier with a pop and refuses to let up. Tenacity and good size make him an elite prospect for New England.
Phillip Thomas, FS, 6′ 1″ 210lbs, Fresno State: Tracks the ball well, showing good leaping ability and soft hands to pluck the ball from the air. Physical hitter. Lowers his shoulder into the ball-carrier to make the forceful hit and wraps securely to assure the tackle. Possesses the light feet and surprisingly fluid hips to drop down and cover receivers out of the slot.
Xavier Rhodes, CB, 6′ 1″, 217lbs, Florida State: strong for the position with a solidly-built frame and excellent arm length. He loves to jam and get physical in press coverage, getting in the face of receivers at the line of scrimmage and staying aggressive through the whistle. has very good click-and-close ability with strong plant-and-go burst to drive on plays in front of him, undercutting routes and knocking down passes. has a comperable skill set to though not quite as fast.
Tavon Austin, WR, 5 9″, 175lbs, West Virginia: Due to his experience as a running back, Austin shows little fear amongst the big bodies and is as dangerous in the quick screen game as any player in the country…is sometimes compared to Welker, but the 2012 Paul Hornung Award Winner, a title that goes to most versatile athlete in the nation, "is not the same caliber of route-runner or receiver that Welker has proven to be. A fairer comparison might be to former Kansas City Chiefs' returner and receiver Dante Hall (5-08, 187) due to their similar size and elite make-you-miss fluidity."… was used out of the slot at West Virginia and proved to be a matchup nightmare.
Desmond Trufant, CB, 5′ 11″, 190lbs, Washington: Athletic and instinctive, has demonstrated legitimate NFL coverage ability and helped his cause by showing improved overall physicality in 2012. Though he's seen considerable time in both man and zone concepts, at this point Trufant's game translates better to an off-man scheme…has the fluidity and straight-line speed to handle coverage duties and has proven ball skills (five career interceptons)…needs to improve as an open field tackler.
Terrance Williams, WR, 6′ 2″, 200lbs, Baylor: Williams looks the part with a lengthy frame and vertical speed to create separation downfield, showing excellent footwork along the sideline. He is a tough runner, flashing the creative ability to make something happen with the ball in his hands. Has the size and speed to be the outside, vertical threat for the Patriots.

The Minnesota Timberwolves selected Ty Lawson out of the University of North Carolina with the 18th pick in the 2009 draft. Shortly after, the Nuggets traded for his rights. Now, that pick looks like a steal. Lawson has developed into a star player in the NBA, and Nuggets fans love him. Back on October 29th, 2007 Lawson made his NBA debut. He went off for 17 points and 6 assist in his first game as a Nugget. Here is a look back at the game! Enjoy!

Cosmic Aeroplane Addendum: Bruce Roberts
July CATALYST's story on Salt Lake's iconic bookstore, the Cosmic Aeroplane, ("Cosmic Aeroplane: A Love Story," a memoir by James Taylor) stirred many memories among the over-40 locals, and was a counterculture history lesson for everyone else. One player who was inadequately addressed in the story was co-owner Bruce Roberts. His sister, Becky, shares with us the role Bruce played in the store and in the broader community.
Sex Ed Taboos and Teen Moms
At 16 I found myself taking that shaming walk to the school principal's office, a place I had never been before. I was always a good student, and never talked back to my teachers or other students. The reason for this trip was a mystery to me. However, when it was my turn to face the beast within, I found that my summons was due to an article I had written for the school paper. This article was about sex education. I had written an article similar to the one here. However, because it contained the word "condom," it was not allowed to print.
Notes from an Extremophile
I've always thought of myself as an outsider, in the general sense, if not the particular. I've usually had a small circle of friends, in which I definitely felt included, but I've seen myself as "outside" of society as a whole. More than an outsider, in fact: an active resister, a dissident, sometimes a crank. My whole life I've seen mainstream culture as uninteresting, distasteful, even downright evil. From oligarchy to a militarized police state, from Britney Spears to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, one can justify that viewpoint. Instead, I'm here to consider how these thoughts and feelings have brought me to a major life decision.
Utility: Solar in the City
Artspace Solar Gardens, 850 South 400 West, spans a city block on the west side of downtown Salt Lake City. This mixed use building has over 100 tenants and includes residential and commercial space. The residents of this building enjoy the benefit of not paying a monthly power bill.
Ancient Folk Medicine, Modern Practices
Bee-created products, more than just honey, have been used by humans for millennium as healing remedies. Called apitherapy, this alternative medicine encompasses the use of pollen, propolis, raw honey, royal jelly, and bee venom. None of these products or practices have been widely tested or promoted by modern Western medical science and rarely are they even addressed by the complementary medical community, but apitherapy practices are ancient.
