As a guest columnist for the next four months, I am now taking submissions for a new blogging series entitled "Who This?" consisting of images of contemporary artworks posted by collectors who have forgotten who the makers are. Face it, what art lover hasn't picked up a work from a local nonprofit auction only to realize a while later that they've lost the darn piece of paper that lists the artist's name? And, heavens, the artist didn't sign it in the first place, relegating themselves to unending obscurity. Or maybe your roommate moved out and left behind something that they had collected but neglected to fill you in on the details about. So now you sit, stumped, wondering… "Who this?"
That work sits anonymously in your possession, like a lost soul. Is it famous? Is it minor? Who knows? Come out from the shadows and let the rest of us, a savvy viewing public, help you in identifying who the heck made it. Collectively we are a smart... More

Inside Look at Birth of the IPod
But PortalPlayer went exclusively with Apple. "When Apple came to the table, we dropped all our other customers," Knauss said. For the next eight months, the company's 200 employees in the United States and 80 engineers in India worked exclusively on the iPod, Knauss said.
Apple had a list of features it wanted added to the reference design: Apple's preferred music format, AAC, as well as Audible's audio book format, and a five-band equalizer.
Apple also wanted a new interface, which it designed in-house in about three months, Knauss said.
And while Fadell may have had the business plan, Apple CEO Steve Jobs molded the device's shape, feel and design.
"The interesting thing about the iPod, is that since it started, it had 100 percent of Steve Jobs' time," said Knauss. "Not many projects get that. He was heavily involved in every single aspect of the project."
At the beginning of the project, Jobs held meetings about the iPod every two to three weeks, but when the first iPod prototypes were built, Jobs became involved daily.
"They'd have meetings and Steve would be horribly offended he couldn't get to the song he wanted in less than three pushes of a button," Knauss said. "We'd get orders: 'Steve doesn't think it's loud enough, the sharps aren't sharp enough, or the menu's not coming up fast enough.' Every day there were comments from Steve saying where it needed to be."
Knauss said Jobs' influence was sometimes idiosyncratic. For example, the iPod is louder than most MP3 players because Jobs is partly deaf, he said. "They drove the sound up so he could hear it," Knauss said.
Knauss noted that there were no demands to add FairPlay, Apple's copy-protection technology, which was appended to the second-generation iPod to coincide with the introduction of the iTunes music store.
"There was no discussion of (digital rights management)," Knauss said. "Their belief was DRM would hurt sales when they rolled out the music store. They specifically wanted no DRM in the original iPod."
Knauss said all the iPod prototypes -- and there were several -- were sealed tight inside a reinforced plastic box about the size of a shoebox.
"They put the buttons and the screen in creative locations all over the box so people couldn't tell what product was inside it and how small it was," Knauss said. "They always put the controls in different places -- the scroll wheel on the side, the screen on the top -- to make sure it wasn't predictable what the end design was. The only thing accessible was the jacks."
Knauss said the iPod project was nearly killed just as it drew to completion. Tests showed the iPod drained its batteries even when powered down. "It would have run three hours before going dead, and that was when it was turned off," Knauss said.
"The production lines had already been set up," Knauss said. "That was a tense part of the project: For eight weeks they thought they had a three-hour MP3 player."
Knauss said the problem was eventually fixed and shortly after, Apple bought a majority stake in the company.
Knauss stayed on until near the end of the iPod's development, but quit shortly before it was released because he had no confidence it would be a success.
"It was probably a mistake, but then you have to go with what you think at the time," he said.
Knauss, 33, is now contracting for Microsoft.
Apple, IBM and PortalPlayer did not respond to requests for comment, though PortalPlayer confirmed Knauss had been employed as a senior manager.

This is a beautiful valley, similar in climate to the Okanagan with a scenic bonus of the North Cascades in the background. Some friends from Vancouver have been spending more and more time here so we decided to join them for some cycling this past weekend. It is an incredible location for cycling and hiking, as well as Nordic skiing in the winter.
There are 2 main towns in the valley, Winthrop and Twisp with a variety of accommodations, restaurants and supermarkets to pick up food, beer and wine. The locals are cycle friendly and there is a bike shop in Winthrop.
Friday afternoon we did the Chewuch Loop as a warm up ride from Twisp to Winthrop then along the Chewuch River and returned to Twisp About 50 k, half on Hwy 20 and the other on some pretty quiet rural roads
Saturday we did our big ride from Twisp to Pateros. This is a great route, which follows the Methow River about 50 k downstream before you turn around and head home. Pack a lunch and you can spend some time alongside the river watching rafters and kayakers heading downstream.
The one ride we missed is along Hwy 20 up to Washington Pass. The Pass actually closes each winter due to snowfall and reopens, usually around Mid May. If you go in early May you can ride past the gates, about 40 kilometers west of Winthrop, up the North Cascades Scenic Highway on a car free section of the highway. The distance you can travel depends on how far the Washington Department of Transportation has plowed towards the summit, but if you to make it to the top it is about a 110k return trip. Keep in mind that it is a mountain pass so be prepared for weather. In the spring there still may be avalanche danger so check with the local avalanche center before you head up (http://www.nwac.us).
The Methow Valley offers lots of cycle loops from 20 to 160 k to keep you busy on a weekend and if you want to get off road there are plenty of mountain bike and hiking trails. Check it out at http://www.mvsta.com.

The John Hardin Bulldogs were not in a celebratory mood despite rolling to their 13th consecutive victory Tuesday night.
Although the seventh-ranked Bulldogs easily dispatched of the Marion County Knights, 85-67 at the Roby Dome, they weren't pleased with how they got the win.

Last Sunday was a new experience for me, it was hopefully a new experience for all those who attended the very first (as far as we're aware) 3d Scan & 3d Print-off to take place in NZ (if not the globe!). A joint event organised by teams from the LoM(League of Makers)* and the MoNZ(MakersOrgNZ) and opened up to the public via the MoNZ meetup page (Located here).
The premise was pretty simple, use some of the latest "off-the-shelf" technologies to scan and print a 3d likeness of an existing object. The task proved to be not so simple, as it involved using some pretty convoluted approaches to capturing scans of the object, post processing the output so that it was something a 3d printer could interpret and then fudging the file through either a Makerbot Cupcake CNC or Makerbot Thing-o-matic.
Approach A: The LoM team chose to use a combination of laser scanning software, gridded reference box and web camera (pretty low res, but more on that later). The LoM team got to work immediately, building the "box", fitting it with the necessary registration chart so that the camera could build a profile of the object being scanned. Once the software had been calibrated they used a laser controlled by hand to "paint" the object and collect data points via the webcam. They then manually rotated the object and collected another scan of the object, from the rear – to give the front and back of the object. So far so good, the results were looking pretty promising. Now the now crew had to merge the 2 sets of scans so that they would form one whole object. I believe that this is where we struggled as a group. Working with unfamiliar tools trying to merge 3d images is not as straightforward as we might have hoped. In the end the team pulled a rabbit out of the hat (it could be a rabbit…) and printed a rendition of the scan file. See below.
Approach B: The MoNZ team decided (defaulted to) the use of a Kinect and KinectToSTL software. Taking a more simplistic approach we let the KinectToStl software do most of the hard work when it came to scanning the object. We simply positioned the Kinect in the right location in relation to the object and used the software to capture STL files. This meant that the results were a little underwhelming. The scan would produce a rough estimation of the face of the object and then "surmise" the rest. We could have tried to clean the scan up, but this didn't feel like the right time to undertake mesh merging madness – not without more precise scans to work with as a base. So we ended up with a rather vague scan one of our team. I ended up reducing the size of the scan file in order to reduce the print time and in doing so uncovered on of this approaches key failings – the quality of the scan is dismal on detailed objects and deteriorates even further when you scale them down! We had a lovely assistant, but the output ended up being referred to as the slipknot print given the printers inability to create fine detailing on such a small object. See below
Measure of success : We pulled together some criteria which we thought we'd measure each approach against. Essentially we wanted to see which technology would give the best likeness to the object being scanned. In the absence of a solid scanning rig I would imagine the result would vary greatly, but what I will say is that Approach A (the laser scanning process) is most certainly the victor. So much so that we have agreed to try and build a more solid (dare I say automated) rig for driving scans in future. I'll update this post on our progress should we go down this path.
In the meantime feel free to read more on the results of our "rough-as-nails" battle of 3d scanning technology.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate community editor
East Carbon and Sunnyside voters will decide whether the two cities will be consolidated at the election polls in November.
The movement to join the two towns gained momentum last summer.
Placing the matter on the November ballot was brought about by actions from the communities through two different avenues.
The East Carbon City Council agreed to approach the county commission about putting the issue to a vote after a committee of citizens formed last fall recommended that the cities consider the move.
However, Sunnyside officials decided that the city council would not make the decision about placing the consolidation issue on the ballot for a public vote.
Following the city's decision, supporters of the consolidation proposal collected signatures on a petition from Sunnyside residents favoring the movement to merge the two towns.
The petition contained 36 signatures when the document was turned into the Carbon County Clerk's Office.
Under state statute, the petition had to contain the signatures of 10 percent of the registered voters in Sunnyside's regstered voters in order to place consolidation on the ballot. The number collected by supporters exceeded the requirement.
The movement gained momentum last August when almost 70 citizens from East Carbon, Columbia and Sunnyside met at the ABC Learning Center to discuss the concept of consolidating the cities.
The idea surfaced, in part, due to the unresolved issue of law enforcement services in the eastern portion of Carbon County. In July 2003, Sunnyside officials decided to start a police force rather than use East Carbon's officers after the larger city increased the cost of providing services to the smaller community.
The proposed consolidation was discussed at council meeting in Sunnyside and East Carbon.
Some citizens in Sunnyside voiced concern about the loss of the town's identity if the city merged with East Carbon.
Some East Carbon residents were concerned that they might have to pay the debt Sunnyside incurred for installation of the new water system.
Other citizens were concerned about the loss of jobs and elected officials.
In September 2003, a joint meeting with the two city councils and the Carbon County Commission occurred to consider what could be done to resolve the issue.
"The main purpose for this meeting is to talk about the concerns and related issues pertaining to consolidation," pointed out Carbon Commissioner Steve Burge to the nearly 80 people in attendance at the gathering. "We will do anything we can do to help you with this process, but it's not our decision.
The commission called the meeting to get an idea of where the process was and get a sense of where residents in the towns were coming from on the issue, explained Burge.
Commissioner Bill Krompel indicated Carbon government became involved when a problem associated with allocating funds to two police departments for provision of law enforcement services in unincorporated areas of the county emerged. County revenues had previously gone to one law enforcement agency.
The matter became a hot issue at the joint meeting. But since the gathering, Krompel reported that the two cities and the county have resolved the law enforcement funding problem along with the issue of providing 24-hour law enforcement protection for the people residing in Sunnyside.
The discussion at the joint meeting, however, moved from the police issue when Commissioner Mike Milovich pointed out that the matter was only an example of the problems the two towns have.
"What you are witnessing in this meeting is symptomatic of the overall problem," commented Milovich. "I have been chastised several times for suggesting these two towns should get together, but I think my reasons are strong. The cost of all public services is going up. East Carbon just applied to the (Utah) Community Impact Board for money for a new fire truck and they will need $235,000 to buy it. A self-contained breathing apparatus now costs between $3,200 and $4,000. Soon the EPA will be out with new rules on arsenic in water systems. The cost of reducing the water from the old standard (50 parts) to 10 parts per million will cost a lot of money and that will be a lot for a city of 1,800 much less two smaller cities. It's just getting too expensive to operate independently, even at the county level."
The cities' debt loads could be renegotiated and refinanced should consolidation take place, indicated Milovich. At the present time Sunnyside's debt is at about $1.5 and East Carbon's is about $8.5 million.
The meeting then turned into a melding of the minds as to how to bring consolidation to completion if that is what the citizens wanted. At the time both cities were concerned about citizens working toward the goal by using a petition process as opposed to a council approval process to explore the possibilities.
In the end a committee composed of citizens from both towns was set up to study the issue and report back to the city councils, with two council members and two citizens from each town to serve on a committee to work toward a consolidation plan.
At the time the county commissioners suggested that Sunnyside and East Carbon City arrange to have a representative from the Utah Association of Governments act as a neutral chairman on the committee, and ultimately Bill Howell from that organization functioned in that capacity.
The committee began to meet in late September and by early winter they held a meeting with towns people from both cities at East Carbon High to explain their progress. That meeting became a debate between those who supported consolidation in the towns and those who didn't. In about the middle of the meeting, some of those opposed to the idea walked out.
A short time later the committee delivered its report to the city councils suggesting that the people should decide by a vote whether to accept the consolidation or not. East Carbon sent it to the county, while Sunnyside did not. Ultimately the petition came in.
To pass, the measure must win a majority of votes in both cities, separately. Sunnyside has 300 registered voters, while East Carbon has more than twice as many. If consolidation is voted in, the new city will have some obstacles to overcome, such as combining the city councils and mayors positions, looking at what jobs in the city governments need to be changed and sorting out finances. By law, residents of one city cannot absorb the debts incurred previously by the other city.

- Crush the biscuits by putting them in a large, strong, plastic food bag and bashing with a rolling pin. Melt the butter with the syrup or honey in the microwave, then stir in the biscuits. Press onto the base and up the sides of a 12 x 36cm rectangular tin (or 23-25cm round flan tin) and chill while you make the filling.
- Break up the two chocolate bars and put in a large bowl. Melt in the microwave for 2-3 mins on Medium, stirring halfway through. Stir in the vanilla extract, then sift in the icing sugar. Whip the cream until it just holds its shape, then fold into the melted chocolate. Pour into the prepared tin and smooth the top. Chill for at least 2 hrs or for up to 2 days.
- Just before serving, remove the tart from the tin and slide it onto a flat plate (loosen edges first with the tip of a small pointed knife). You will find it easier to remove the tart if you leave it at room temperature for 30 mins. Put a few tsps of crème fraîche along the centre of the tart (or around the edges if the tart is circular) and top each with a raspberry, then dust lightly with icing sugar. Cut into thin slices and serve with extra raspberries on the side.

Comments, questions and tips
It didn't quite come up to the mark for me....sorry. I had to use more biscuits to soak up the butter and to 'line' the bottom of the tin, and there was not enough chocolate mix to look like the photo on the front page (I had to use a round tin size as stated), and I'm afraid it looked more like a chocolate biscuit)
I used half the icing sugar and it was just right. And I also followed the other comments to mix the vanilla into the cream. The chocolate did go a little lumpy when it was mixed with the cream, but no-one noticed. I couldn't find butter biscuits, so I subbed digestives instead. Lovely recipe, not too sweet and cloying.

It's official: we spend more time engaged with our technology (smartphones, computers, tablets) than we do sleeping, according to a new study by Ofcom.
The study found that the average person spends 8 hours and 41 minutes a day online, but only gets 8 hours and 21 minutes of sleep.
It sounds like everyone basically spends all of their time playing around on Facebook, but that's not necessarily the case as technology allows us to do more of our work away from the office. 25% of people say technology improves their work-life balance.
10% of people say they regularly check and send work e-mails while in bed.

Split body trucks in your neighborhood!
Have you seen the garbage truck stop to collect their garbage cart and then pull forward and collect the blue recycling cart? These items are not being mixed, but are being placed in separate compartments of state-of-the art trucks. Used in some areas of Sonoma County, these vehicles decrease the number of trips through neighborhoods by one-third, while the split compartment trucks keep trash and recycling separate. Collecting two materials in one truck decreases the amount of fuel and energy used, not to mention reduced traffic on roadways and in neighborhoods.
California has new California Air Resource Board rules that go into effect in 2010. These new trucks meet and exceed all these new California air quality standards and run on Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel, which is specifically refined diesel fuel that has dramatically reduced sulfur content than the previous standard in highway diesel.
Local jurisdictions have contracts with franchised garbage companies to provide service for collection of garbage, recycling and green waste for residences and businesses.
Remember that, you are charged for the size of your garbage can. For residential customers, the 20-gallon mini-can is the smallest size available. That means if you divert your waste through recycling and composting, you'll pay less for garbage. Some areas are also eligible for bulky item pickup.
If you are inquiring about how a holiday affects your weekly pickup schedule or for other service related requests, contact the garbage company for your area.

True School MC Bvax Drops His 17-Track Sophomore Solo Album "B-Boy Summer"
Posted on October 9, 2013 By Amina Norman-Hawkins Hip Hop / R&B / Soul
True school hip-hop MC and DJ Bvax just dropped a brand new 17-track album entitled B-Boy Summer. Many of you may know him as a DJ, and have seen him rocking stage shows with Dirty MF, Waffle Gang, Ol Days, and Urbanized Music, but Bvax is also an MC. He is a member of the veteran hip-hop quartet Endangered Species, and even has deep roots as a B-boy.
Last week Bvax released his 2nd solo project, 'B-BOY SUMMER' (available both online and on CD,) and it has taken off to very positive reviews, and sales. With tracks by Kenny Keys, DJ DJ Alo, Coolout Chris, DJ Fif Element, Wes Restless, Jai Dot, Mike Spex, Soillie, and Mo Murda it's no surprise the production is so tight. "You won't hear a lot of 'Look at what I got', and 'Do this dance' in my rhymes." Bvax believes music should be timeless and not just for the moment, and he says "It should always evoke feelings and touch you in some way.", which he demonstrates in every song.
Bvax has also been very busy over the past few years performing and spinning across the country and opening for artists like Common, Dj Kool Herc, Too Short, Slum Village, Digable Planets, Masta Ace, The Alkaholiks, Jeru the Damamja, DJ Grandwizard Theodore and others. He has completed 4 tours, played al SLUM Fest, Guerilla Fest and SXSW.
You can catch BVAX spinning with Dirty MF and Smokin' Sextion every first Friday of the month at Jerrys, 1938 West Division. He also hosts a radio show alongside Steph Staa , DJ SP1 and Elevation every Wednesday at www.que4.org 1710 am, from 9pm-12am. And on Wednesday, October 16th, he will be back for the monthly Hello Hip Hop series with Visual and dj Shon Roka at Subterranean, 2011 W. North Ave.

The standard, established in a number of other states, would create a threshold of five nanograms of THC, the main component of marijuana, per milliliter of blood. That would be the equivalent to the .08 blood alcohol level currently in state law.
"Virtually everybody at that level would be impaired, unsafe to drive an automobile," said Attorney General John Suthers (R-Colorado). "We're deluding ourselves if we think there aren't people (driving) under the influence of marijuana."
Since roughly 120,000 Coloradans have medical marijuana cards giving them access to the drug, police officers have asked for more clarity on the issue. Suthers says the current statute that covers driving under the influence of drugs often leads to lengthy court cases where differing experts testify about the impact of marijuana on different drivers. Unlike other states which have zero-tolerance policies for any driver with THC in his/her bloodstream, Suthers thinks the five nanogram threshold, recommended by the Colorado Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice, is appropriate.
"Experts will tell you the chances of you driving safely with five nanograms of THC per milliliter of blood, it's not going to happen," Suthers said. "You're going to be impaired."
Lawyers who represent medical marijuana dispensaries and patients say they understand the need for public safety and for the need to set a level of impairment, but they want the civil rights of legal medical marijuana patients protected in the process.
"Marijuana will stay in a person's system for 30 days or even more depending on their metabolism, while alcohol will go out in a matter of hours," said Jessica Corry with Hoban & Feola. "What we need to see in this legislation are protections for the accused that would test active THC and not just the presence of marijuana in a person's system."
Colorado lawmakers return to the Capitol for their annual 120-day session on Wednesday, Jan. 12.

Praxis Program
"Praxis" is the process by which a theory, lesson or skill is enacted, practiced, embodied or realized. "Praxis" may also refer to the act of engaging, applying, exercising, realizing or practicing ideas.
The Praxis Program is designed for students who are interested in fully embracing a practice- or experience-based course of study. IIT Chicago-Kent has always prided itself on providing a wide variety of hands-on learning options. The Praxis Program capitalizes on these robust skills offerings to guide participants through an individualized course of study designed to provide exposure to the core competencies required of successful lawyers.
With this program, the law school responds to calls from the legal community for new graduates who are thoroughly trained in both the skills and the art of legal practice. Participants will learn to think and talk about their education in new ways, explore issues of law practice management, and learn how to build and market their own portfolios.
Students who enroll in the program and complete all the program requirements will earn the Praxis certificate upon graduation. Students enrolled in the Praxis Program may concurrently enroll in an additional, subject-matter certificate program offered by Chicago-Kent.

okay there is something not right thats going on in that theme. if the basic theme builder doesnt work right, i think your testing process is not complete.
We need answers
Can you describe me what is the problem there have ?
here is the problem after all the testing i made, pretty much what happens when i mention to wp that the site url is on index1 or index2.php for some reason the changes that we make in the theme settings like colors and so on wont work and i tried that in version 1.0 version1.1 and version 1.2
this is not suppose to happen at all
so that means if someone has a site underconstruction and wants to build the site during that time on index1 or any other file to see the modfications we cant
Okay sir,
Please send me your site address and credentials via mail. Looks there have many problems and all those unclear for me
Hello all,
Here we had vacation due to our national celebration last few days and I'm sorry for late responses. Now we are ready to work and help you my best
Thank you for your patient
Hello, great theme…
But before the purchase i have the same question that a few people had… How well is this theme working with wmpl?? Can you provide an example or proof, that it is working fine?
Thanks themeton.
I don't have any license of WPML but this testing helps you to see how it is compatible with that. http://www.screenr.com/aiD7
any way to change the column service icon from the default library to a custom image?
Now all icons comes with Font awesome. It provides you ability to set size of icons and fill there custom color.
We have a change to change but it is really hard. If we change it, it is hard to update the theme further.
I really suggest you simple manual method. Use column element with your new images + text + aligning as making column service manually.
Easy enough, thank you!
Do your provide the change log?
Change log file exists in your main archive. Thanks
Thank you!
is there any way to delete or disable the title area on all or certain pages?
if(!is_page(55, 'newewwwwe', 220))
if( is_page(array(42,'about-me','Contact')) )
Cool, will look forward to this as a front end feature, Great Support!
how can I disable the shadow in the feature section?
Great thanks!
Hi, using the builder i am having a problem saving the Heading text of Columns
Please delete the element and add it again. Also may try again after opened the page once. Thanks
Hi, yesterday you respond to me that now you are on the way and that you will answer asap, i believe you so i hope that you will respond to this message.
1. I have installed your new update 1.2. I have seen that you have removed your own customization regarding "RevSlider", i have to say that this slider works great now, also no problem under my big screen mac, it did not work with your version V1.1 but now it is ok so thanks for your work. ISSUE SOLVED.
2. Regarding the "Page builder", i have seen that you made some changes, now we can edit text with "Column" so that is better than the last update, thanks. BUT PAGE BUILDER STILL DOES NOT WORK for several cases. Okay we can edit text but there is still a big issue regarding the H1, H2, etc…. I understand when you said that it was certainly a problem of languages but for Spanish, Holland, French language (my case) and of course for all the others except English (EN), the problem exists. We can not change the H1, etc… Also, the shortcodes does not work with Wordpress editor and with Page builder. In fact, when we choose a shortcode, nothing appears, it is the same when we try to choose for instance H2 instead of H3 (by default). Sure, i can change some lines of code for title (H3 to H2) but this will certainly not change the problem with "Page builder". That is strange because as i explained to you yesterday, we can change the colors of headers, we can add some text now but it is still not possible for the headers. As you know, this point is so important for search engines so i really hope that you will find a solution very quickly. Of course, we can use only Wordpress editor and all the problems are solved but i think that the big interest of your theme is to use "Page builder" and your shortcodes for the WONDERFUL GENERAL DESIGN. Sure, all your customers will be agree so can you please find a real solution as quick as possible ?
3. Can you tell me if the problem regarding "SEO By Yoast" is solved in this update ? Can you also confirm that if i turn off your "SEO" in the options, "SEO By Yoast" will be fully compatible with "Emerald" or is there something else we have to do ?
4. Usually, we can see what changes the authors have made with the updates and with your theme, there is nothing in the description, it was the same yesterday for your first update 1.1 so can you tell me what you have changed exactly ?
Well, i hope that you understand that the most important would be of course to find a great solution for "Page builder". Thank you very much and i understand now why you could not respond the last few days with your National Celebration. No problem, so Happy New Year… Mike from France
2. Sure, definitely fix it.
3. Please check the
changelog.txt file of main archive. This file contains update details and modified files list. Also you can see update description from item profile page (at bottom). Sometimes update details included little bit later, I don't know when exactly reviewer inspect and approve theme update. That's why you need to check change log file always.
4. Much related #3. Already added update details on item page.
Thank you really much and your patient
Okay, thank you. So as i see, you will definitely fix the problem with "Page Builder", i am glad to read that but can you please tell me how long it will take ? One day, two, may be one week ? We have to know when we will be able to build our website. It is important for our business. Thanks
Is your browser FireFox?
This looks related styling of select input of modal/(element editing).
I tried change 'logo' and some points but when I click 'save all changes', the 'theme setting' keeps spinning.
How can fix it?
Please refresh the admin panel and try to save again.
Also can you check there have some javascript problem?
Is this regular installation and theme?
How check do I have javascript problem? // I did correct installation. I follow document.
Please send me your site address and credentials via mail. I'll dig there and solve your problem. Thanks
I guess something wrong version 1.2.
Can I get version before 1.2?
And… WP admin panel said "The following plugin needs to be updated to its latest version to ensure maximum compatibility with this theme: Envato WordPress Toolkit." ... I did already update all plug ins. Is there more?
What is your email address?
About the plugin message we will update next version for this plugin and that maybe disappeared and also you can dismiss plugin message. Thanks.
Okay. I got it. Thank you. I sent info.
I received your email and will answer there. Thank you
I am having trouble getting the menus to save. I have selected the items I want in the menu and ordered them the way I wish. However, it doesn't seem to want to save that and it reorders the menu items alphabetically. Both the main menu and the footer menu seem to have this problem.
Even a hint of where to look to fix this would be welcome.
Is this ordered on front of your site or on Apperance->Menus?
Can you check there active page order plugin?
Please read usage of menu from here. (disregard other part of this page )
Actually, after much searching, the solution is very simple. Themes downloaded from Themeforest have very long folder names. Shorten it to something like themeforest-emerald and it solves the problem.
Brilliantly simple. And works for other themes as well (where I've also had problems).
I see, good luck
You do not respond to all the comments, i have never seen that on Themeforest. Usually, all the authors respond to us.
We have PURCHASED your theme and we have taken time to make a comment with some questions. We are WAITING FOR A RESPONSE since friday but NOTHING. You know perfectly that PAGE BUILDER DOES NOT WORK and also there are a lot of problems with the shortcodes. We need some answers just above concerning our questions 3 days ago. Just read our message and give us a CLEAR RESPONSE. It is called respect. Some others people have a big issue with your theme (page builder), we have seen exactly the same problems in your forum.
how can i activate the slider thumbs and the navigation? i try to do this in the settings page of the sliders and every time i click update or save it resets to "dont dislay" or none. why is that?!
If you are inserting only one slider that thumbs and naviagation are not displaying. Please check the Slider Options. If you can't we will help you.
haha. sorry! you're right. i thought i had more than one slide activated! thanks!
Same question than above…
Have you found a solution concerning the major problem with "Page builder" ? How long it will take to solve this issue ? One day, one week ?
Sorry for troubles you. Please use the Google Chrome until we find issue. We will fix this as soon as possible not a week not a day. This will be fixed first of all other comments.
Sorry bother you i hope you understand me.
I just updated the theme and now it is waiting on review queue. Hope it will reviewed in 6 hours. Please update the theme and try again. There must be fixed heading selector of page builder.
= V1.3 - 20.02.2013 = UPDATED : Modal css FIXED : Overflow css issue on Firefox FIXED : Undefined function error of FF
It does not even work in Chrome! The page Builder Text field is not editable and i can not save it. Neither the Column nor the messages boxes, etc.!
There was an overflow problem on FireFox, and it fixed early. I don't think this problem on Chrome too. If you send me your credentials and site address via mail, I would like to see it in action
@maximaldesign – change wordpres language – en_EN and use Chrome browser
There's a big issue and it needs to be fixed very soon. I have tried several "under construction" plugins for your theme and none of them work. In version 1.0 and 1.1 (I think), I had no problem with this. After I updated to 1.2, my home page is showing and I would really like it to not be showing.
Please let me know when you've fixed this issue. Thanks!
Hello, I've tested simple plugin and works perfect.
Here is the result, http://www.screenr.com/DXk7
This is the same plugin I'm using. For some reason, when I updated the theme, the plugin settings must have changed. I fixed this by activating the plugin under it's settings menu (it was already active under the WP Plugin list). I apologize for not exploring this further before commenting. Thanks for the help!
I suspect, required plugin notices may controlling some of your active plugins. But please double check your plugins after the updates.
I have another question regarding the theme, though. Is there a way to reduce the space and remove the line created after the header in the columns section? I could do this using HTML, but I was wondering if there is a simpler way to set this up using Page Builder. Currently, it looks something like this:
lorum ipsum yada yada yada
I'm looking forward to your response, thanks!
I think there don't need any update for that. Please just use heading text in your content.
In action, http://www.screenr.com/7Jk7
That's great! thank you very much BTW, I noticed that your editing window is white, where as mine is very dark…is there any way to fix this?
Recently updated the theme. Please download and update your theme and everything will be fine. Thanks
It's possible add in new version shortcodes – icons? ex. from sweeticons2 or other. And please change 248line in framework/cores/inc_content.php – special characters language (&subset=latin,latin-ext)
There is no way to add new icons right now.
Hope you can use it on child theme. Duplicate the file in correct path in child theme and make your changes there. It is really easy and safe your changes every main theme updated further
Again in action, http://www.screenr.com/zSc7
Hi! I am using a membership plugin "WishList Member", and it have always work with my other themes. But with your theme it doesn't work at all. I don't know if the Page Builder the problem is.
Can you please help me? Without the WishList Member plugin I can't use this theme and I love this theme!
When I use the code for this Membership plugin, I get a blank page and the only thing I see is the code that I have to put in the content area.Dashboard page: http://www.photoshopzone.nl/cursist-paneel/ Also my registration form for this plugin does't work with this theme: http://www.photoshopzone.nl/aanmelden-8-videolessen/
- Jairo
Where did you put your shortcode?
Please use this on your main content area or Column element.
I first put the code in the main content area, and later in Column element. Both doesn't work
And now? What else can I do?
Please try to test regular shortcodes both of those area and let me know.
I have try the regular codes from the theme, and works. The codes off the membership plugin still doesn't work. I am about 2 hours to solve this problem. Now I don't know more what to do.
Please send me a mail with your site credentials. Thanks
Okey I will send it to you about 5 minutes. What is your e-mailadress?
- Jairo
When using layerslider, I noticed that the image size doesn't adjust to the slider frame. Instead, the slider shows an enlarged portion of the image. Where can I adjust image size so that it doesn't look disproportionate to the frame of the slider?
I don't know what there happen. But may you should select image size as shows in this record, http://www.screenr.com/ChZ7
If I misunderstanding your question, please ask me again little bit detailed.
Thank you for the reply. I am using WP 3.5.1 and according to your video, the image is automatically set to full image. How do I resize the image for the slider in this case? Or, do I have to do it through the media library (which would mean, or so it seems, that I would have to create different sizes of the same image for my media library)? According to the documentation for the plugin, I can turn off responsive and it seems to work, but that somewhat defeats the purpose of having a responsive theme, no?
Most effective way is preparing images before upload into the site. Preparing means cropping images to correct site and setting image quality and contrasts … Photoshop helps you best for it.
But if you prefer to use media uploader, fine, there have a cropping method and size selections.
You can remove responsive style there (on line 19 of header.php file). I don't think there have bad things if you would like to remove that
Also, I was wondering if this works with any custom fields plugins like CCTM (Custom Content Type Manager), where I can add custom fields to the write panel for my posts?
I don't know how it works with that. WP has over 23k plugins. I can't test all of those People can use whatever they want. But I just try to make themes more standardized.
Post options exists in
framework\post-type\post.php file. You should use it, hope it is really easy. Don't forget to make changes in a child theme
Thank you man
Thank you for all your help so far
I was wondering if you have any documentation for working with adding custom fields to the post.php file in your theme? I've been trying to use several plugins to make adding custom fields work and I haven't had much luck. In some of them, I am provided the code to add, but I'm not sure where to add them in your theme files.
For example, I can see the custom fields in the editing panel for the theme's posts, but I can't get them to display.
Do you have any recommendations for implementing a plugin like "More Fields" or "Advanced Custom Fields"? I've looked through the documentation for these plugins, but I haven't been able to figure out how to display these fields using the editing panel for Posts in the emerald theme.
Hello, http://www.screenr.com/nbF7
This looks like it would work fine for text fields, but what about checkboxes, drop down lists, etc?
In the end, I did find a plugin called "Custom Post Type View Generator", which works with a number of custom fields plugins. I'm currently using it with "Custom Content Type Manager" and it seems to be working okay…there are a few small issues, but nothing I can't work around. Thought it might be helpful to anyone interested in a way to do this.
Okay I'll suggest it if someone wants to use custom fields
In extracting the zip file I keep getting: Error: Unable to extract "C:\Users\R\AppData\Local\Temp\wz80fd\Emerald\framework\plugins\class-tgm-plugin-activation.php".
The size of the extracted file (78272) does not match the uncompressed size (78650) recorded in the Zip file
Any ideas?
Please download the theme archive and try again. Thanks

Wow!! This was a very good recipe. Really you just throw everything in a pot (I did them in my cocotte) and let it go. The pork was tender love and the spices delicious. Definitely a grand recipe to try!!flag if inappropriate
Having travelled to Wuxi on two occassions and having this dish offerred to me by my hosts, I was determine to find a recipe to share this dish with my family back home. All I can say this recipe is fantastic. 95% as good as what I had in China - (the other 5% relates to the fact when I had it previously it was made by a Chinese chef in Wuxi). A bit of work and time in the preparation, sourcing the ingredients, and the cooking but definitely well worth it.flag if inappropriate
This is a fantastic recipe, I've made it several times now and it is easy, makes the house smell wonderful, and is very flavorful.flag if inappropriate
Considering how wonderful and fragrant the entire house smelled like while I was making these ribs, they were very mild tasting, borderline bland. They were extremely tender, falling off of the bone and very attractive when presented the right way but a bit disappointing for the amount of time and energy I put into it. I may not know what authentic Chinese ribs should taste like, so maybe I'm not the best judge.flag if inappropriate
I can't believe no one has made this incredible dish yet! You can easily find all of the ingredients in an Asian market, then cooking it is very easy. This is the best Chinese dish I have ever made and it is definitely authentic. I served it over plain white steamed rice. Absolutely delicious!flag if inappropriate

text: Artists are still key to the American experience. The sustainability of the American democratic experiment, within an increasingly diverse society impoverished by unrestrained capitalism, requires professionally creative publicly critical citizens. But can America's art programs produce them? As long as most remain in bed with banks as self-serving, tuition-driven institutions producing non-unionized workers for a dated, late-twentieth-century economy of rarefied trophies, they will remain morally and ethically bankrupt, unable to face the future.

That's the cover for a new project that I've been involved with: A Sketchy Past: The Art of Peter de Sève. It's the first-ever monograph about Peter de Sève's professional work and it should be on everybody's Christmas wishlist.
A Sketchy Past is 240 pages in a 10″ by 12″ hardcover format. It's being released in October by French publishing house Akileos. They're putting out two versions–one in English and the other in French. It's not available to order yet, but Akileos has posted a preview page with details about the book and a preview PDF. It will debut officially at Galerie Arludik in Paris, which is holding a retrospective of Peter's work in October. Events with Peter in the United States will follow shortly thereafter. As always, stay tuned to Cartoon Brew.
Having been a fan of Peter's work for years, I was honored to be a part of this project. I'm particularly proud of the essay I contributed, and hope it'll shed new insights into Peter's approach and style. Make no mistake though. The main attraction here is page after incredible page of artwork. The book includes a generous number of roughs, as well as comments throughout from Peter. The artwork ranges from his New Yorker illustrations to animation work (the Ice Age series, Finding Nemo, The Hunchback of Notre Dame) to book covers and everything else in-between. The book is exquisitely designed by Lori Barra, who also designed Peter's sketchbook that was published a few years ago. Everybody labored long and hard to get the book right, most of all Peter, who has spent the last thirty years creating these illustrations. If you're a fan of Peter's work, you won't be disappointed, and if you're unfamiliar with his work, prepare to become a fan.
Here are a few spreads from the book. Click to enlarge.

So winter finally decided to visit Charleston, and it is now freezing! I am sure the cold won't last but while it does, what is better than eggnog and a fire? Pretty sure it is at the top of the list. It is great for parties, it is great for Sunday afternoon, and last night, it was great for Wednesday night. And while I really do love eggnog, I find it to be a little like candy corns, I think it is probably best that they only come out at Halloween. Eggnog is a Christmas thing, and that makes it even better. Here is a great recipe for eggnog for the adults, and another on for the kids.
Eggnog (adult version)
6 large eggs
3/4 cups vanilla sugar
1 quarts half and half (or light cream)
1 cup brandy
2 cups bourbon or dark rum
freshly grated nutmeg
In large bowl, beat eggs until pale yellow and slightly frothy. Add sugar and half and half, and stir until well blended. Add brandy or bourbon (or dark rum) and stir. Transfer to large pitcher and chill until cold, at least 3 hours. Divide between 6 punch cups, garnish each with sprinkle of nutmeg, and serve.
Eggnog (for kids)
3 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar
4 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
freshly grated nutmeg
Whisk together the milk, cream, sugar, and eggs in a medium-sized nonreactive saucepan.
Cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Do not let it boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Serve immediately, topped with freshly grated nutmeg to taste. Or you may refrigerate it, serve it cold, or reheat it before serving. If it thickens with refrigeration, simply thin with a little extra milk.

British electronic pop time-bender James Blake is about a month away from releasing his new album Overgrown, and the first single "Retrograde" is enough to give me high hopes for it. And now he's shared a version of "Voyeur," one of the album's other tracks. This is the "dub" version, though, so it presumably won't show up in this form on Overgrown. The track is dance music, of a sort, and it walks the line between the layered-up head-trips of Blake's early days and the club bangers that presumably inspired him. BBC Radio DJ Benji B recently played the dub, and you can hear a radio rip below.

Ron Wilson items going up for auction
Auction hunters can check out Friday afternoon farm items belonging to convicted Ponzi schemer and former Anderson County Council member Ron Wilson.
A Saturday auction will involve more than 500 items, including a like-new pickup truck; a wooden John Wayne likeness; antique and vintage farm equipment; a cannon, all-terrain vehicles and commercial refrigeration units.
The money from the auction will benefit the 798 victims of Wilson's decade-long silver investment scam.
He pleaded guilty in November to defrauding investors out of $57.4 million when he failed to buy the silver for his clients.
Most of the losses have not been recovered. Investors have been told by a federally appointed receiver to expect to get back only pennies on the dollar.
The 9:30 a.m. Saturday auction will be at Live Oak Farms in Woodruff, with Walnut Grove Auctions hosting the live and photo-based auction.
A preview session is available Friday from noon to 6:30 p.m.
Pictures of the items and auction details also are posted at www.walnutgroveauction.com.
The farm was operated as a model for sustainable growth, with public tours and a store that sold fresh food from around the area. In the course of Wilson's sentencing, prosecutors said he used money from the silver scam to play the role of a country gentleman farmer.
The event Saturday is one of several auctions and sales being coordinated through the federally appointed receiver.
Previous sales of Wilson's things have included $675,000 worth of silver to a private broker and an online auction of items from his Easley mansion for a total of at least $62,000.
The mansion is still for sale for $750,000 through Cindy Fox Miller and Keller Williams Western Upstate. The farm, which covers at least 50 acres, also is for sale through the receiver's office, reachable at www.receiverwilsonabc.com.
Wilson is serving his sentence in a Florida minimum-security prison, which lists his expected release date as December 2029.

Hi all!
I'm TTA at the moment but having a really hard time understanding my body right now. With my first two, my period came back, a normal heavy period, and then about 40 days later, my second one came, also a normal period. My cycles are always wacky for the first few months, and I know I ovulate late, so none of that concerns me.
This time around period came back at 7 months but was very light, so I thought, ok maybe anovulatory period. Now i am at cd43 and nothing, but I had light spotting for 3 days a week ago which i thought was my period, but it didn't turn into anything.
I don't think i am pregnant, but i guess there is always that possibility. We did it unprotected a couple of times before my period came back and then we have done it unprotected once since then, that was after i had the spotting. Most of the time we are trying to use condoms and NFP, I am not seeing any clear fertility signs though, normally I get very obvious ovulation pain and also lots of EWCM. I really DO NOT want to be pregnant at all. If ever again. Not that I don't love my kids I just don't want any more right now. Maybe in 4 years i could consider it, but I think DH would have had a vas by then.
I have no idea what is going on or where in my cycle I really am. Anybody else have a lot of weirdness like this? After my first two kids, my PPAF was fairly normal, although longer cycles. Am I just getting older?
Re: Hi all!
I'm still bf 10 months pp and still have had no cycles! bf'ing will mess with your hormones and make things wonky...
Re: Hi all!
Re: Hi all!
test! let us know how it turns out! although I'm TTA, I'm addicted to testing and charting and all that stuff LOL Now that I'm not testing for myself I jump at the chance to analyse ...good luck mama, I hope it goes the way you want it to :hugs:

Jennifer Love Hewitt's posh ponytail showcases smoothed-over bangs and slight volume on top.
Styling Tip
Step 1: Start with sleek, dry hair and smooth your bangs to one side.
Step 2: Isolate a halo section on top of your head. Take a two-inch section within the halo and hold it straight up. Use a tight-tooth comb and backcomb in short strokes along the back of the section toward your scalp. Repeat with all sections within the halo.
Step 3: Use a natural bristle brush to smooth over the surface of the halo section as you direct it back. Gather your length in back, place into a ponytail and secure with a coated elastic band.

To coincide with this, the company will also be revealing new packaging to promote the brand's sponsorship of the Lions Tour and the launch of the Wine Club. The Lion red 'top' will go live from April.
The demographic following of the British & Irish Lions which is perfectly matched to the core wine buyer provides a powerful retail opportunity for the FirstCape brand. Given the boom of online retailing across every FMCG sector it is now critical that we engage this platform as one of the leading UK wine brands.
Steve Barton, Joint UK Director of Brand Phoenix, comments: Following considerable online consumer research we have significant plans for consumer engagement such as the bespoke British & Irish Lions '4 Pack', interviews with Sir Ian McGeechan and very exciting consumer competitions.
FirstCape has committed significant investment to support the Lions Wine Club via a programme of PR and marketing activity.
