For the last few months, I was moonlighting as a craft-blogger. Not here, somewhere else. It didn't work out. I haven't been feeling good about it for a while, and yesterday, after a disagreement with the editors and owners, I decided it was time to concentrate on THIS blog, MY blog, and keep my ideas for myself. I happen to have written a great summer entertaining post, so here it is, my content, on my blog, my way. Expect much more regular posting.
Summer at my house is a never-ending rotation of guests at the pool. Yet no matter how many BBQ's we end up hosting in one week, everyone always goes home feeling like I went all out to make it special SO SPECIAL just for them…. OK, I am about to out myself here: I really don't go to any trouble… I make my kids do it and call it CRAFTING!
Here are 5 kid-friendly craft projects that lend themselves to any entertaining occasion. Just change up the colors to match your theme: Canada Day, a birthday, etc. The best part is that it keeps the kids out of the way while you do other things and kids love to boast about their fantastic participation in the event!
Tip #1, the colored cupcake liners: This one is a bit of a make-ahead project, but you can make a whole box and keep them for the next occasion. Original idea found on the Little Wren blog.
Put a few drops of food coloring in a bowl with water, dip cupcake liners, let dry for a few hours.
Tip #2: Bunting! Nothing says party like party decor. Forget those dollar-store plastic flag banners, you can make your own bunting with 1 pack of paper napkins, a long ribbon or string and a stapler.
2 variations on the napkin-as-flags bunting
Pardon the less than stellar picture, but these are two examples of bunting I made. The checkered one was just regular napkins, cut in half to double the amount we got, just slipped over a long ribbon and secured in place with one staple. For the triangles, I used the rectangular shaped napkins, opened them up and cut them into long triangles before stapling them to a wide gros-grain ribbon. This was slightly more labour-intensive, about 2 hours instead of 10 minutes. In both cases my girls took charge of the projects.
Tip #3: Fancy ice cubes. People will go crazy for a fancy ice cube in their drink! This can be as easy as freezing colored water, freezing dark juices like cranberry or blueberry (which adds bonus flavour to the drinks) or getting really fancy and using a knife for lemon-slices like I found on the Industrious Justice blog. Again, let your kids slice up the citrus and freeze.
For a Canada Day theme, why not freeze some red berry slices? Stick to the theme colors!
Tip #4: Set the table! Yes, I am already recycling my own ideas from an earlier blog post, but trust me, you put a pretty paper runner on your picnic table and all of a sudden people think they were invited to a fancy dinner. Also, make place cards. I let my kids write all the guests' name down on either little cards or items that relate to the theme (ie they could cut out maple leaves, or NOW you could use dollar store flags!). I also let them pick the seating arrangement. It's very funny to see who a 9 y.o. choses to place where. It makes for funny and interesting combinations!
Tip #5: Send the cupcakes home with your guests. Did you know you can easily carry one cupcake home by putting it in a plastic drinking cup?
It's one of the most clever tricks I have found, via Bird on a Cake blog…. Makes guests feel very special and you don't get stuck with so many left-over cupcakes. The point it to send leftovers home. You could package left over salad in a nice big beer cup, with a plastic fork on the side. I give the kids the big bowls, a serving spoon and the containers and I let them measure out the portions. Keeps them out of the way during the clean up and the left-overs get eaten. Not to mention you score major points as the hostess-with-the-mostess!
And now that I have reveled all my secrets, nobody will be that impressed when they come to my house next time.

Was it common sense that they lacked, or basic morality? It must have been evident to anyone with a "brilliant mind" that this exercise in obfuscation was doomed to eventual disaster. It relied upon the weak majority being tempted by bankers and new Labour into wishful thinking and closing their eyes to a simple fact: debts have to be repaid. It now appears that we shall all have to pay - including those of us who struggled to repay our mortgages quickly an era ago and have never borrowed a penny since.

This is a multi-purpose mount for an iPad Mini. It works in both Landscape and Portrait modes.
Primary function: Snugly fits into a cup holder on my boat (Bayliner 175), near the helm to display nautical charts / use navigation software. The internal dimensions of the cupholder are 90mm. So if you have a 90mm cup holder you're all set. :)
Secondary function: Desktop holder for Video Chats, reading books, watching movies, etc.
The fit is very snug. You can hold it upside down and shake it without the iPad mini coming out.
The photo shows an earlier version. Since then I lowered the front and back mounts to not obscure the screen as much, and because not as much support in back is needed. I also added a round opening for the Home button or the camera.
It holds an iPad Mini at a 15 degree angle.

In 2001, shortly after September 11th, Congress came together for a near-unanimous vote to pass the U.S. Patriot Act. That law gave authorities broad surveillance powers to fight terrorism.
But as more details emerge about what that surveillance actually involves, well, some lawmakers are having a change of heart.
Like Representative James Sensenbrenner from Wisconsin. He's considered one of the architects of the Patriot Act but recently said he was, quote "appalled" that the law had been used to spy on ordinary Americans. Sensenbrenner introduced a new law yesterday to rein those powers in.
For a look at how lawmakers are changing their views on the limits of surveillance, we're joined by Todd Zwillich, Washington correspondent for PRI's "The Takeaway."

About 11 months ago the Red Sox traded Josh Reddick to Oakland in exchange for Andrew Bailey. Now, Boston could be flipping the closer again.
Bailey's fourth season in Major League Baseball was easily his worst, as the former All Star underwent thumb surgery during spring training and didn't make his first appearance for the Red Sox until Aug. 14. Once he returned he was largely ineffective, posting a 7.04 ERA in 15 1/3 innings pitched.
Despite Bailey's down year (or perhaps because of it), rival teams are saying the Red Sox are open to trading their presumed 2013 closer, according to Buster Olney. That isn't to say that Boston is dead set on dealing him, however, as the team recognizes his trade value is at an all-time low.
Nonetheless, with the way that the Sox' bullpen performed in 2012, there are likely multiple candidates who could get a crack at closing, including Junichi Tazawa and Clayton Mortensen.
Rival teams say that Red Sox open to dealing Andrew Bailey–but because his value is currently low, odds of them trading him are pretty low.

Rated 5 out of 5 by NancySchmancy from Love these sheets! I hate the new sateen sheets that seem to be everywhere. These percale sheets are lovely! Light for summer weather, deep enough for my sleep number bed + a giant pillow top, and beautiful! And a great value for the set. I've not had them very long, but I imagine they will wash and last like my Garnet Hill jersey set I've had for a couple of years. ❤

Rated 5 out of 5 by kattraxx from Luxurious After buying the amazing GH German flannel sheets, I decided to pick up a few sets of light summer sheets. These were a lovely choice. It's been a year now and they've laundered beautifully. No shrinkage or color fading, and more importantly, no weakening of the all around elastic on the fitted sheet. The cotton is a fine quality... a dream to sleep on... cool, crisp and silky. And size wise, the sheets are generously large. I don't know what more you could want. I'm back for another set. Thanks Garnet Hill for consistent quality I can count on!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Zinfindel from Awsome I'm glad I splurged. These are super nice and soft. I have a queen size soft side waterbed that needs no more than 15" pocket depth. Seeing that this is hard to find, I decided to get these. I purchased 2 sets and glad I did! They washed up nicely and are super soft.

JJ DeForest/The Willits News
Team captains for this year's Relay for Life stopped by the Willits Community Center Wednesday to sign in for the fundraiser and pick up t-shirts.
Relay for Life is an overnight event designed to celebrate the lives of those who have faced cancer, remember loved ones lost and fight back against the disease. Teams of eight to 15 members will participate in the relay and take part in several relay traditions including the Cancer Survivor's Lap, the Fight Back Ceremony and the Luminaria Ceremony.
Skylah Langton, 6, was on hand at the Luminaries and Survivors desk helping to take donations and preparing a Luminaria of her own for family friend Sue Smith of Laytonville. Skylah's great-grandparents have faced cancer and she chose to take part in the relay as a way of giving to and helping others.
The Luminaria Ceremony takes place after dark during the relay and symbolizes the hope and perseverance to continue the fight against cancer.
The Willits Relay for Life will take place July 27 and 28 at Recreation Grove Park. For more information call Jennifer Sookne, 354-4219; or the American Cancer Society at 1-800-ACS-2345.

Norma Rae provides an opportunity to explore the concept of servant leaders. What are several examples of servant leadership from the movie?

The most obvious example of servant leadership comes in the form of Norma Rae, herself. She represents this model of leadership on a couple of levels. The first is that Norma Rae sees herself as a servant first. She envisions her fight for unionization as not one that will benefit her directly as much as it will represents all of her fellow workers. She does not gain anything of self interest out of her desire for unionization. Rather, she suffers greatly for her desire, having to endure much in the way of pressure from management for her to stop. Yet, she feels compelled to continue the fight because of the benefits unionization will bring to her coworkers. Norma gives "priority" to the needs of her colleagues and co-workers. She also represents the concept of servant leadership in her persuasion. The moment she stands on the table and holds up the "UNION" sign, she does so understanding how the magnitude of the moment will inspire others, causing them to think and reflect about what she is doing and how everyone benefits in such a display. The idea of servant leadership comes from a basic desire to serve out of a sacrifice, something that Norma Rae embodies throughout the film.
This is one of the best movies I've ever seen, and Sally Fields does an amazing job evoking the emotion of the audience as well as her co-workers to eventually win a victory for the union in her cotton factory. She is the ultimate example of servant-leader in this film since she not only serves as servant and leader of her family who suffers illnesses from the poor working conditions of her shop, but also the co-workers at the factory. Without her diligence and hard work, the others employed in the factory would continue to live and work in poor conditions as well. She sacrifices her time (for which she gets grief from home since she doesn't spend as much time at home once the union talk begins) and eventually loses her own job to ensure a better working life and life in general for her friends and coworkers. Of course, once the shop is unionized, she gets her job back, but she had no way of knowing that would happen when she took on the big dogs.
Organizing a union in the Deep South was one of the most dangerous acts a worker could commit. For, to this day, most Southeastern states are non-unionized "right to work" states. Norma Rae was, indeed, courageous and self-sacrificing as she had to know that she would be fired. But, she knowingly became the sacrificial victim for her cause, a cause that did succeed. Norma Rae was fired and four years later finally received back pay after a long time; she chose to work at the plant only two days, however. This fact raises another question, of course.
As fate would have it, Norma Rae contracted brain cancer and was refused financial aid from her insurance company, so she went two months without life-saving medications. Eventually, she received her insurance, but died at age 68.
The union man who comes, Reuben Warshowsky, is certainly another example of servant leadership.
Norma Rae may also be viewed as a servant leader in her home where she sets an example of courage for her family--though her husband doesn't quite see it her way. One important point emerges from this dual role and this is that roles can conflict with each other. One always must face the question of greater importance and greater good. In choosing temporarily to put the collective workers above her family, Norma Rae demonstrates the ultimate value of caring for the needs of the greatest and weakest number required of servant leadership.
Great movie. For me, the most powerful example of servant leadership comes from Norma Rae, as #2 argues. What is so different about her in comparison to other leaders is that she embarks on her struggle for purely unselfish reasons, and is not out to improve her own position alone. Rather, she is definitely trying to fight for the good of all workers, and as a result encounters much suffering as she fights for the rights of others.

Announce The Formation Of
, A Company Developing Retinal Gene Therapies
Oxford University and Syncona announce the formation of Nightstar, a company developing retinal gene therapies
Syncona LLP, an independent subsidiary of the Wellcome Trust, announces a £12 million investment in NightstaRx Ltd ("Nightstar") a spin-out from the University of Oxford and its research commercialisation company Isis Innovation. Nightstar will focus on the development and commercialisation of therapies for retinal dystrophies (degenerative conditions affecting vision).
The company's first programme is a gene therapy for an inherited form of progressive blindness called choroideremia developed by Professor Robert MacLaren at Oxford's Nuffield Laboratory of Ophthalmology. The therapy has shown extremely promising results in a clinical trial published in the Lancet* in mid-January.
The gene therapy uses a small modified virus, AAV.REP1 to deliver the correct version of the choroideremia (CHM) gene to cells in the retina of the eye. The Lancet reported that six months after treatment with this therapy, the first six patients showed improvement in their vision in dim light and two of the six were able to read more lines on the eye chart.
Choroideremia is an inherited X-linked cause of blindness. It is caused by mutations to the CHM gene which encodes Rab-escort protein 1 (REP1) and affects approximately 1 in 50,000 people. The first symptom of the condition is usually an impairment of night vision which often occurs in early childhood. This is followed by progressive narrowing of the field of vision, as well as a decrease in the ability to see details, culminating in blindness, most commonly in late adulthood. No effective treatment currently exists.
The vector used to treat choroideremia, AAV.REP1, was developed by a team of researchers, led by Professor Robert MacLaren of the University of Oxford, and is currently being studied in a 12 patient Phase I clinical trial supported by the Wellcome Trust and Department of Health.
Nightstar has an exclusive licence from Isis Innovation to the intellectual property which underpins this program.
Chris Hollowood, Partner at Syncona and Nightstar's Chairman, commented: "The recent data publication in the Lancet is very compelling and we are delighted to be working with Professor MacLaren to provide the support required to bring this important therapy to choroideremia patients. We have appointed Dr. Melanie Lee as CEO of Nightstar; an experienced industry professional with both scientific and business acumen and we will augment the team over the coming weeks."
Tom Hockaday, Managing Director of Isis Innovation, said: "The £12 million investment in Nightstar represents one of the largest investments in a new academic spin-out in Europe. Isis Innovation is very excited to have worked with Professor MacLaren since 2009 to protect this technology and we look forward to it benefitting patients."
Dr Melanie Lee, CEO of Nightstar, commented: "Nightstar provides a great opportunity to move AAV.REP1 along the regulatory path to product approval for choroideremia patients and the exceptional data from the work undertaken by Professor MacLaren and his team is a strong foundation upon which to realise the commercial potential of the therapy."
Professor Robert MacLaren, of the Nuffield Laboratory of Ophthalmology at the University of Oxford, said: "The initial clinical results for choroideremia gene therapy are very promising and they give us an indication of what this technology can achieve in the future. The Wellcome Trust and the University of Oxford are two of the worlds' leading biomedical research organisations and they have worked closely together to support the programme. The involvement of Syncona through Nightstar will assist the clinical development, including the manufacture of AAV.REP1 to the stringent requirements needed for regulatory approval, which will expedite patients' access to the therapy."

About Nightstar Ltd
Nightstar is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialisation of therapies for retinal dystrophies.

Nightstar's shareholders include Syncona LLP, University of Oxford, Wellcome Trust and Imperial Innovations PLC – the technology transfer company of Imperial College.
About Choroideremia
Choroideremia is an inherited disorder that leads to progressive loss of vision due to degeneration of the choroid and retina which is caused by a lack of Rab Escort Protein-1 (REP-1) and occurs almost exclusively in males. The first symptoms occur in childhood, with night blindness being the most common first symptom. As the disease progresses, there is loss of peripheral vision or 'tunnel vision', and later a loss of central vision. Progression of the disease continues throughout the individual's life, although both the rate and the degree of visual loss can vary, even within the same family. There is currently no treatment or cure for this disease.

"Fast-paced, suspenseful thriller. . . . The hours-long standoff comes to a dramatic and violent climax. . . . A vividly depicted and gripping tragedy." — Kirkus Reviews
"The setup is irresistible, and McDowell's authentic handling of the confusion and fright of the class of first-graders lends the story a constant undertone of tension. . . . Fans of Todd Strasser and Paul Volponi will relish it." — Booklist
"What makes this story stand out are the discussions between Emery and the gunman, who is suffering from PTSD. . . . . McDowell balances the gunman's plight against his son's shame, fear, and divided loyalties. Written in a format that will appeal to reluctant readers . . . an excellent choice for sparking classroom discussion." — School Library Journal
"Ripped from the headlines. . . . Fast-moving story that will keep the reader's attention with bits of humor to lighten the mood. McDowell excels in depicting the voices of the teenage narrators, the first-graders, and a soldier suffering from PTSD." — Library Media Connection

City Hall
More Pushback Against Microhousing
More pushback against dense development and small apartments—this time on Capitol Hill.
The city's Department of Planning and Development is holding a hearing tomorrow on potential legislation that could, depending on whom you believe, downzone low-rise neighborhoods (technically, LR-3 zones, which limit apartment buildings to 30 feet, not 40), or impose reasonable restrictions on zoning incentives that have allowed developers to build far more densely than what's appropriate for the neighborhoods.
Essentially, new rules adopted in 2010 allow developers to roll together several "bonus" provisions that allow them to build taller, denser housing (up to 40 feet in a 30-foot zone) if they meet certain standards, such as having a sloped lot (partial-basement apartments don't count toward the 30-foot zone) or "shed" or "butterfly" roofs.
The upshot is that some buildings have been constructed with five stories instead of the three stories neighbors expected. The proposed changes would limit the number of those bonuses developers could combine in a single building.
Although they definitely don't agree on terminology—"It is not an attempt to downzone the LR-3!" council member Sally Clark said, exasperated, when I called to ask her about the potential zoning changes—proponents and opponents agree on one thing: The new rules would make it harder to build tall apartment buildings like the micro-housing development at 11th and Republican on Capitol Hill, which has become the poster child for "bad" development among those who want to roll back the new rules.
(From the web site of Seattle Speaks Up, a group that has organized to oppose the developments in LR-3 zones: "Do you feel that suddenly everything is changing in Seattle and that the pace of tear down and development is suddenly on overdrive? It's not your imagination.")
The new interim council central staff director, Rebecca Herzfeld, has been an advocate against legislation that would encourage small businesses in low-rise buildings in her own neighborhood, Capitol Hill. Clark says she doesn't see any problem with Herzfeld overseeing the issue of low-rise regulations.

In Our Own Backyard...Dogged determination
They say it's a dog eat dog world out there. I would argue, however, that it's the cat the dog better watch out for!
Our two pampered felines have grown up around dogs — more or less — since several of our family members are dog owners. Whenever they come to visit, our cats grudgingly accept their canine cousins, but they spend most of their time keeping a "polite" distance from atop some high perch, or the comparative safety of our bedroom.
The cats never seemed to mind the mellow, mild-mannered yellow lab when he visited, and they were known at times to walk right over him while he was sleeping. And every chance they got, they'd crawl into his bed, curl up and monopolize it while he was away. When he wanted to lie down once again, whichever cat was in his bed would patently refuse to leave. And I do have to say, the dog never challenged them.
When it comes to my sister's two small herding dogs, however, it is a somewhat different story. To be herded around like common sheep is something our cats will simply not stand for, and they pretty much channel the two persistent pooches into the same category as pesky rodents and small children — and retreat in disdain.
Recently, there's been a new dog in town, one that's kind of a combination of all the others, and one they haven't quite been able to figure out yet.
His name is Tucker and he belongs to our daughter and her family from the Twin Cities. He was supposed to be a yellow lab mix, according to the shelter, but now that he's fully grown (at a whopping 40 pounds or so), he looks more like a yellow greyhound, with a deep chest, wasp waist and ears that are permanently cocked sideways. He's a dear dog, rather shy but full of rambunctious energy, and when he comes to our house the cats can't decide whether to fight or flee.
When he arrived with his family a couple of weeks ago after not being at our house since last spring, one of our cats — Sunshine — immediately bolted upstairs and hid under the bed. The other — Mufasa — decided to stand his ground right inside the front door. As Tucker burst in, Mufasa's build expanded to a frightful diameter as the hair on his back and tail stood on end, and he began to utter a long, low growl from somewhere deep in his inner workings.
The shocked dog immediately bolted back out the front door and hid behind the legs of the two kids.
We decided to put a child's safety gate across the hallway to our bedroom, so the cats could escape to a place of solitude and the dog could walk about the rest of the house without cowering. That worked for a little while, but the gate didn't exactly fit the opening, so every once in a while it was knocked askew. When that happened, Tucker seemed to have a hard time containing his curiosity over the two cats, and he would take a reconnaissance mission down the hallway into the bedroom and then whirl around and dash back out.
Every once in a while he'd resort to guerrilla tactics and grab a cat toy in his teeth as he dashed back down the hallway, which didn't exactly earn him any Brownie points with the cats.
One day when the rest of the family was outdoors, I came in to start dinner and Tucker followed me into the kitchen to keep me company. As he sat there gazing up at me worshipfully, hoping some tidbit of food would fall on the floor, Sunshine — the timid one — slowly glided into the kitchen and delicately patted the end of Tucker's tail.
That set into motion a whole chain of events. Tucker felt the tickle and whirled around in surprise. When he did, Sunshine leaped straight in the air, and Mufasa appeared from out of nowhere and raised up to his full height in a dead standoff against the dog to protect his "sister."
Poor Tucker slunk in terror into the farthest corner of the kitchen.
Now, if I didn't know better I could swear the two cats had planned the whole thing in an insidious plot of revenge. Scenes from "Lady and the Tramp" flashed through my mind, when the two visiting Siamese cats taunted the dear little cocker spaniel mercilessly and got her into trouble with her owners every chance they could get.
I felt kind of bad about the whole thing, particularly since Tucker looked so totally miserable. But I do have to admit, the perverse side of me couldn't help but feel the tiniest bit proud of them….

hello take a look at www.avequs.com the video youtube doesn't play, problem with youtube
i've copied code from your online page and now it works!!! from the downloaded file no…
Hi, I just purchased this HTML template and I'm very disappointed : the downloaded version only seems to work properly in Firefox. On Chrome, all the zoom transitions are broken – they just don't work. On Safari it's even worse : the zooms are broken, the rollovers are broken (no transitions), and the masonry gallery is broken too, the items don't reorganize themselves.
I basically bought this template because of the transitions. There are plenty of other responsive parallax one-page templates. I chose this one and I'm hugely disappointed. I can't believe it's this bad!
There seems to be something seriously wrong with the downloadable file, compared to the demo on Themeforest. Because the demo works perfectly on all my browsers, whilst the downloaded file is a disaster.
This is on 2013 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion and all the latest, updated browsers (Chrome v30.0.1599.101, Safari v6.0.5, and Firefox 24.0).
Please help! I really need this to work. Thanks, Ric
use it on a live site, chrome & safari don't work locally when using prefixfree.js
Hi, how to activate the zoom transition on the thumbnail? I want the same effect on the demo.
The theme is great with this effect…
Please help!
use it on a live site, chrome & safari don't work locally when using prefixfree.js
Ok thank you
I have submitted my question a couple times to your portfolio page with no response. Can you please address my questions.
1. How can I use a vimeo video on the home video player? Right now I can only get it to work with YouTube.
2. When I omit the text description on the images in the gallery, the background color doesn't extend the full width. This leaves the rollover color on the images incomplete and looks odd.
Please advise.
1 the full screen video only works with YouTube. 2. If you have a look at my demo site the 2nd or third image doesn't have any text and is working. Do you have an old set of files, I did update this 6 months ago
I updated the skeleton file a month ago. Is there another file I need to update to make this work?
Hi – Can you please advise on my question above? Thank you!
If you firebug or inspect element on my demo site for the 2nd image on the portfolio, see if any of the CSS has changed from your version, seems a bit strange.
parallax scrolling is not good on mobile devices?
Parallax doesn't work on mobile it is just scrolls the picture normally
How to change the thumb in service section? Please
So this is not a Wordpress theme? Or is it?
My fullscreen video is not YouTube. If you insert another player (we used our licensed version of JW Player) into the HTML, you can link to vimeo there.
You will have to update your PrettyPhoto.js to work with JW player, and it is a little complicated, but I figured it out by google searching a solution.
You can see our page at http://www.navy.mil/ah_online/antipiracy/index.html
Will you make the WordPress Version Retina Ready too? I am debating on which one to purchase now…
I will ask the wordpress developers, maybe leave a message on that support line
too late, already purchased your wordpress version. very nice… i hope you can add Retina support later though.
Hi. Thank you for this well designed web template which was really easy to customize. I had my web in 2 languajes ready and running in just a few hours. NICE!
I have an issue with the dropmenu for mobile though.
Links to files within the root directory works fine but, they don not work when a menu option is linked to a file out of the root directory.
Example. (Again. This is an Issue just with dropmenu for mobile. Main nav menu works perfect with this files structure)
This example works fine: <option value="blog.html">Blog</option>
This example doesnt work at all: <option value="/folder/blog.html">Blog</option>
I really need dropmenu for mobile working with this file structure. Can you help?
THX in advance.
I did fix this will look it up and let you know
THX. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Add this to the HTML code where the dropmenu is <select class="dropmenu" name="dropmenu" onchange="location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">
Hi there! Thank you for your speedy answer! The dropmenu works perfect now!
Video plays in all browsers but Chrome.
I can't see any issues, what version and computer OS, so I can check it out?
Im on WIN 7 Chrome Version 30.0.1599.101 m. Your demo nor my site play video in chrome.
Also the contact form is the most difficult form I have ever used. Cannot get it to work right for the life of me. All I want to do is change subject to phone number. Problem is that the subject field never worked right to begin with. What it looks like to me.
4 hours into trying to fix your contact form, not happy.
Will never understand why anyone would release a template with a broken contact form. I see it so much.
Tiny URL can't reduce this url so if you want a peek at this: www.repairac.net
Have subject as phone number which seems to work.
I don't have a problem with Chrome on mac & PC, working fine for me. The subject field is also used for the subject of the email, that is why you were having problems.
So you think my Chrome browser is broken?
hey apart from putting the email address i n the contact.php is there anything else I have to do
no that is all
Hi, how can I setup a link to a section and have a smooth scroll? (like the nav).
If I use an anchor and href it to #about for example, the scrolling is not smooth, it jumps directly to that point, how to obatin the smooth scroll?
Go to About

Trying to extract .rar but every time I'm getting error like: File is corrupted?
Tried with latest IE, Chrome and Firefox… but same again?
There is no .rar files included, and why are you trying to open a rar file with a browser.
Sorry its .zip file. Anyway, updated Winrar, and now I unpacked it without errors. PS I'm not trying to open it with browsers, I was trying downloads with different browsers, thought that maybe it was problem with browser download.
No problem, hope it works well.
Really beautiful template! Currently have a wordpress blog. How do I integrate that Blog page so it is part of this website?
Hello, great work. I have 1 question only: where i can change the main colour? at all once: #7B133C
I see that there are 5 images on the slider, image1.jpg to image5.jpg. How can I add more images to the slider? I can't seem to find it inside the index.html file. It's magically hidden. O__O
Hi Is it possible to add Paypal buttons to use the template as a super-easy way to sell 4 products?
Best regards, Veslebert
Yes I can't see why that wouldn't work.
I can't delete "those who do not want to imitate…" sentence from behind of Portfolio, I deleted the same sentence written below Portfolio but the one written behind of it blurly still remains.
nwm.. found it
Hey man, Great template, love it! Works great for me so far. Question. How do I alter the HTML index to get the services thumbnails working right. I have my images for the thumbnails ready and sitting in the directory images/services (i.e. images/services/photography_placeholder.jpg). So how do I get them to function as they do on the preview site, with a background and then a scale to grid view as you scroll over/off of each thumbnail. (sorry, I'm not an expert at HTML). Note: the site is not live, still configuring the code.
Thanks for your help.
You change the image names in the CSS and make sure that the photography class in the html matches the same class in the CSS.

Clarets crowd help conquer opposition
For a succession of visitors to a foreign corner of Lancashire, it has become the Turf Moor death rattle. Seemingly rocking, the stands erupt as the bouncing Burnley fans celebrate another goal, another win and another vaunted victim. It is becoming a routine.
Ten consecutive successes on home soil have included four since promotion. It means that, along with Arsenal and Chelsea, Burnley boast the Premier League's finest home record and, as they celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of their last league title, they are four points off a Champions League place.
But the paradox of Burnley's start is that they possess both the best home form in the Premier League and the worst away statistics. Home and away, it is four out of four. Few seem to relish a trip to Burnley; plenty want a visit from them. Unstoppable at home, unimpressive away: these are the two Burnleys.
So what makes the difference? The notion of the crowd as the 12th man is usually a cliché, but at Burnley it acquires a truth. Manager Owen Coyle has described Turf Moor as "conducive to a real football atmosphere," and even in the Championship, night games generated a noise that few other grounds produce. Social factors, such as the pride supporters feel in an economically troubled town, can be highlighted, but so, too, can the blend of history and novelty for a club with a distinguished past that is in the top flight for the first time in 34 seasons.
Burnley have a feelgood factor that, say, Birmingham, promoted to the Premier League for the third time in eight seasons, don't possess. Theirs is an atmosphere that has attracted envious glances, though it hasn't prevented professional Burnley fan and former Labour spin doctor Alastair Campbell making a slightly strange appeal for some more inventive chants and writing a rather odd ditty about Brian Jensen. The repetitive nature of the choruses of Coyle's name can serve to build pressure and rouse the team.
It feels more of a consequence than a coincidence, therefore, that individual inspiration, such as Robbie Blake's fantastic finish against Manchester United, David Nugent's terrific brace against Sunderland and Andre Bikey's uncharacteristically Lampard-esque goal against Birmingham, tends to come at Turf Moor.
It has brought comparisons with Stoke, where another set of fans, seemingly inspired by Spinal Tap, are intent on turning the volume levels up to 11. Taking 35 points at home all but ensured their safety last season, and Burnley are on course to emulate them. Yet Stoke's success derived in part from their style of play; Burnley's is a different sort of culture shock to the elite. They attempt to out-play sides, swarming forward in support of the sole striker and avoiding overuse of the long ball game.
Hence the other, and less welcome parallel: West Bromwich Albion. Eager passers who were condemned for being terminally naive, Albion were relegated immediately. Such comparisons are only raised away from home where Burnley's record - four defeats out of four, with 14 goals conceded and none scoring - makes for more depressing reading than Campbell's attempts at witty lyrics.
"We have been panned a bit as we have lost away from home. Obviously we need to tighten up," Coyle said. "We will look to continue to pass and move the ball. Nothing will deter us from how we want to play the game."
It is not a question of ripping up the game-plan, but implementing it better. Centre-back Clarke Carlisle, for instance, completed 93% of his passes at home against Birmingham and misplaced 39% of them away at Tottenham. When the latter statistic is the product of a short passing game, it gifts the opposition possession in potentially dangerous positions.
One slight amendment has been made to offer the defence more protection - pushing Bikey forward to cover for the absence of the injured Chris McCann. Giving Burnley two holding midfielders, along with Graham Alexander, may have been intended primarily for the away games, though it produced an immediate benefit in attack when Bikey scored what proved to be the winner against Birmingham.
Burnley's next journey is both their shortest and their most pressurised. One explanation for their away losses lies in the identities of their opponents thus far: Stoke, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham. Next up is Blackburn and Burnley's trend of incrementally heavier defeats on the road, leading to the 5-0 reverse at White Hart Lane, bodes ill.
But Coyle said: "When I look at games away from home, we've had early chances in each and every one." Scoring the opening goal in every home match and conceding first in each away game are trends of their campaign. So is an ability to overcome wealthier opponents.
"For us to retain our Premier League status would be against all odds. We have the smallest budget in the league by a country mile," Coyle concludes. Their wage ceiling is thought to be around £15,000 per week, but much of their impact comes from men paid far less than that: the fans.

Learners of Chinese and Western musical instruments will play together in a historic mansion; museum visitors will view exhibits in the chicken slaughterhouse of an old market building, and young leaders will practise public speaking in a former court room.
These are the scenes painted by the organisations that were on Wednesday chosen by the government to breathe new life into three historic sites under its revitalisation scheme to use the venues while preserving their features. The three groups' representatives yesterday outlined their plans for Haw Par Mansion, the Bridges Street Market and the Former Fanling Magistracy.
"The use of Western building materials with architectural arrangements in Chinese style is an interesting combination, making this place perfect for Chinese and Western music performance," said Henry Lo Ka-yu, a conservation consultant for the Haw Par Mansion project in Tai Hang.
The living room where Burmese-Chinese businessman Aw Boon-haw's family used to listen to music in the 1930s will be used for music practice and performance. The room may be refurnished with its original furniture.
Restoring the run-down site will be challenging, said Lo, an architectural conservation researcher at Chinese University. The tasks include checking the green roof tiles one by one to replace the broken ones, he said.
One of the project organisers, Professor Chan Wing-wah, head of HKU SPACE Centre for Creative and Performing Arts, said the school aims to give the public wider music exposure.
As for the Bridges Street Market project in Sheung Wan, the Journalism Education Foundation - which will be setting up a "News Expo" at the site - hopes to integrate it with the redevelopment project on Wing Lee Street behind it and Hollywood Road's former police married quarters.
Visitors will learn about the city's news industry and have a chance to experience being a news anchor.
The Federation of Youth Groups, which will run leadership programmes at the Former Fanling Magistracy, plans to convert one of the court rooms into a model parliament chamber.

Thank you, Justin! Love your pic!
Stumbled upon this by accident..or did I?
Hello all!
My name is Angi and I had just started doing ShaunTs Insanity workout when I went to Borders and found this book by accident. I took it home and read all the chapters that pertained to me that first night! I started the diet three days later. Tims suggested being on the diet for at least five days before having a cheat day. My cheat day is Thursday because of my work schedule. I work every weekend and Wed/Thur are the days my hubby and I have off together. So cheat day will always be somewhere around there. My starting weight was 231.7 and I'm 5'9" tall. I lost almost 2 pounds in the first week and it wasn't even a whole 7 days. I'm not hungry. I don't get cravings. I don't feel deprived. It was so much easier to stick to it than I thought it would be. I'm excited! I had gastric bypass two years ago and I wanted to lose 160 lbs. I lost 100 and stopped. I want to lose those last 60 pounds or more if my body allows it. This forum has a lot of great information and I look forward to making some new friends here.
Vote for the Best Answer
Welcome!! I agree with you, it definitely is easier then I thought too when I started. I am now 8 weeks and still deal with "Can you eat this?" from family and friends, but I love eating this way. I am down about 10 lbs so far, and 8 inches. This website is VERY helpful too!!
Good luck!!
I know what you mean about 'can you eat this?' I'm still dealing with that myself. Was craving hot wings the other day and realized I can have them anyday, I didn't need to have them on cheat day. I just don't bread them and my hot sauce doesn't have any sugars in it. May miss the bleu cheese, but it's all good. I'll have plenty of celery with them! You know what's funny? I'll prepare something for myself just for my diet and everyone else in the house wants to eat it too! I feel like saying, "Hey, I can't have the stuff you can! Why you wanna take my little bit?" Hilarious!
I know, It gets easier! I am still trying to convince family and friends how easy it is to do it,once you get a routine down of what you like to eat. Some family members, complain about how we eat when they invite us over but then if they eat at our house (SCD way) they are the same as your family, (oh can I will have your beans,compared to the pasta you made SPECIAL for us?)
I think people just need to stop thinking that having a processed carb at every meal is normal.
Congrats on your loss so far! I lost 50lbs 2 years ago through counting cals. I'm interested to see how 4HB works.

text: Anyone else hear is comments after Arenas dropped 60 last night? I just heard him on ESPNews and he basically says that it was an empty 60 points and that if GIlbert had missed them they would have just been horrible shots (Uhh, no duh Kobe.) He was really earning my respect til this. Like he didn't have a few lucky ones drop when he put up 81 last year? Sounds like sour grapes to me.

Below Normal
And yes, this is to be my annual much-ballyhooed Look Back/Watch Out Ahead gala essay, even though I surely don't much feel like slapping it together. The world's another year older and deeper in death, hey Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go, I owe my soul to you-focking-name-it.
Looking back, last year, I could pound my head against the wall silly to try to find something positive to say. So I pounded my head against the wall silly and all I could come up with is this headline from an Internet story: "Lightning strikes killed fewer Americans than ever in 2013." That seems a positive unless you like to play the Mega Bucks Power Oodles of Millions lottery and recall that your odds of hitting the jackpot right in the kisser are the same as getting struck by lightning in any given year. Focking swell.
So, Look Back/Watch Out Ahead. Here's all that needs be said:
The Year 2013: Sucked, but good.
Watch Out Ahead, 2014: Will suck, even more.
There you go. Clean, economical and near-elegant, ain'a?
But before I go and get back to the real work of cranking up the thermostat and mixing another hot focking toddy, let me give you a handy tip on how to transition from a past year to a new one. Every New Year's Eve me and the fellas get together with a couple, three cases of Rhinelander and at midnight, instead of the "Auld Lang Syne" we put the record "In Dreams" by the great poet Roy Orbison on the hi-fi full blast, and we dedicate it to all the people, places and things we won't ever see again. We sing along over and over—ten, twelve, maybe fifteen times—until we're bawling like babies. I don't know why, but this tradition somehow gives us the strength to actually try to make it through another year. I figure you might like to try out our tradition sometime yourself, so I'll give you Roy's lyrics to make it easier to sing along—it's not too late—but you got to supply the record.
A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper:
"Go to sleep, everything is alright"
I close my eyes
Then I drift away
Into the magic night
I softly sway
Oh smile and pray
Like dreamers do
Then I fall asleep
To dream my dreams of you
In dreams... I walk with you
In dreams... I talk to you
In dreams... You're mine
All of the time
We're together
In dreams... In dreams
But just before the dawn
I awake and find you gone
I can't help it... I can't help it
If I cry
I remember
That you said goodbye
To end all these things
And I'll be happy in my dreams
Only in dreams
In beautiful dreams
So you's have a happy new year—hey, at my age I still like to think anything's possible, what the fock, 'cause I'm Art Kumbalek and I told you so.
