The Big Bike Revival
Cycle Connect
Bike Library
The bike library is project that has ben set up by The Yorkshire bank (in association with cycle Yorkshire) where everyday people can donate old or unused bikes. There the bikes are repaired to a good condition for the community's use. You an use your membership card to hire a bike from half a day to a week and return when finished.
If you want more information see The Yorkshire Bank Bike library
Happydays Cycle Club
We hold monthly rides at different cycling levels to get people together in the community, get fit, get healthy and have fun.
Bike maintenance training
• Introduction to Cycle Maintenance.
Over the last 12 months we have run several cycle maintenance courses, these have been run by two of our trained staff; Bob Arnold and Rowan Robinson.
Both mechanics have years of experience and a great passion for cycle maintenance. The idea behind our courses is to train up volunteers and members of the public to a good level so they can repair their own bike or hopefully, join us in the workshop and assist in basic tasks.

Considering the Various Uses for the PHP Scripting Language
PHP is a general-purpose language that can be used to write general-purpose scripts. Scripts are computer files containing instructions in the PHP language that tell the computer to do things, such as display Hello on the screen or store some specified data in a database. Most scripts contain a series of instructions that can accomplish tasks from designing Web pages to navigating your file system. Because PHP began life on the Web, it has many features that are particularly well suited for use in scripts that create dynamic Web pages. Currently, you find PHP most often hard at work in Web pages, but its use for other purposes is growing.
PHP is very popular for Web sites. According to the folks at PHP, over 11 million domains are using PHP. Yahoo!, which is among the world's most visited sites, recently decided to change from its own proprietary language to PHP.
Using PHP for Web applications
Because PHP scripts execute on the server, PHP can dynamically create the HTML code that generates the Web page, which allows individual users to see customized Web pages. Web page visitors see the output from scripts, but not the scripts themselves.
PHP has many features designed specifically for use in Web sites, including the following:
- Interact with HTML forms: PHP can display an HTML form and process the information that the user types in.
- Communicate with databases: PHP can interact with databases to store information from the user or retrieve information that is displayed to the user.
- Generate secure Web pages: PHP allows the developer to create secure Web pages that require users to enter a valid username and password before seeing the Web page content.
PHP features make these and many other Web page tasks easy.
PHP is only server-side, meaning it can't interact directly with the user's computer. That means PHP can't initiate actions based on the status of the user's computer, such as mouse actions or screen size. Therefore, PHP alone can't produce some popular effects, such as navigation menus that drop down or change color. On the other hand, JavaScript, a client-side scripting language, can't access the server, limiting its possibilities. For example, you can't use JavaScript to store data on the server or retrieve data from the server. But wait! You don't have to choose. You can use JavaScript and PHP together to produce Web pages that neither can produce alone.
Using PHP for database applications
PHP is particularly strong in its ability to interact with databases. PHP supports pretty much every database you've ever heard of and some you haven't. PHP handles connecting to the database and communicating with it, so you don't need to know the technical details for connecting to a database or for exchanging messages with it. You tell PHP the name of the database and where it is, and PHP handles the details. It connects to the database, passes your instructions to the database, and returns the database response to you.
Major databases currently supported by PHP include the following:
- dBASE
- Informix
- Ingres
- Microsoft SQL Server
- mSQL
- MySQL
- Oracle
- PostgreSQL
- Sybase
PHP supports other databases, as well, such as filePro, FrontBase, and InterBase. In addition, PHP supports ODBC (Open Database Connectivity), a standard that allows you to communicate with even more databases, such as Access and IBM DB2.
PHP works well for a database-driven Web site. PHP scripts in the Web site can store data in and retrieve data from any supported database. PHP also can interact with supported databases outside a Web environment. Database use is one of PHP's best features.
Using PHP with your file system
PHP can interact with your file system — the directories and files that are on your local hard disk or on other computers accessible over a network. PHP can write into a file on your file system, creating the file if it doesn't exist, and can read the contents from files. It can also create directories, copy files, rename files, delete files, change file attributes, and perform many other file system tasks. PHP allows you to perform almost any task related to your file system.
Many Web sites need to interact directly with the file system. For example, a Web application may save information temporarily in a file rather than in a database, or may need to read information from a file.
System administrative and maintenance scripts frequently need to interact with the file system. For example, you may want to use a PHP script to back up files, to clean out directories, or to process text files by reformatting their contents. PHP can perform these tasks quite well.
Using PHP for system commands
PHP can interact with your operating system to perform any task the operating system can perform. You can execute an operating system command and receive the output. For example, you can execute a dir or ls command (to list the files in your directory) from PHP and receive the list of filenames that the dir/ls command produces.
The ability to execute system commands is often useful for system administrative and maintenance tasks. For example, you may want to clean up a directory by deleting files with a particular extension. You can use a system command to get a list of files in a directory and then identify and delete the files with the unwanted extension.
The ability to execute system commands includes the ability to run any other program on the system. Thus, you can run programs in other languages from PHP and make use of the output. Aren't you relieved that you don't have to rewrite all those programs you're using now? You can run Perl, C, shell scripts, or any other language programs from PHP. New PHP programs can add functionality to your system tools, without requiring you to spend time rewriting existing tools.

Anyone who has followed GetReligion for very long knows what the letters WWROD stand for. I mean, the first reference of this kind showed up only a few weeks into the blog's existence, way back in 2004.
WWROD? We're asking, What Would Richard Ostling Do?
Ostling, of course, is the former religion-beat pro at Time, back in the days when that weekly magazine was a force in hard news, and then with the Associated Press. For those of us who arrived on the Godbeat in last quarter of the 20th Century, it would be hard to name someone we respected more or whose work carried more professional authority (with Russ Chandler of the great Los Angeles Times religion team joining him in the top ranks).
Thus, I am happy to pass along the following email from Ostling, which followed several chats on this topic during the recent Religion Newswriters Association meetings here in Beltway territory:
Forsaking lazy retirement mode I am about to launch a new "Religion Q and A" blog for patheos.com, probably the most important interfaith site on the Internet.
Most features on Patheos are opinionated, faith-specific (Buddhist, Catholic, Pagan) … whereas mine will be non-partisan and journalistic in approach and cover wide-ranging topics.
We'll be asking folks in cyberspace to send in questions regarding any and all faiths, any Scriptures, current church-state and religion-politics issues, moral quandaries and other such puzzlements and curiosities. If I'm able, I'll post an answer with others then welcome others to add comments.
To get this thing launched I need savvy folks to start providing some interesting questions for me to try to answer. If willing, would you, and contacts in your circle of friends who'd be interested in this, send in questions that I'll consider for the first postings on the site? Simply go to http://www.patheos.com/blogs/religionqanda/
On the right-hand side type in your question and click "Send" which transmits it to me to consider for a posted answer.
The name, in other words, is "Religion Q and A: The Ridgewood Religion Guy Answers Your Questions." I had lobbied hard for "The Religion Answer Man." Whatever. This is great news no matter what it's called. I've been bugging this man for years about getting involved in a blog, whether writing for GetReligion every now and then or pursuing some other online option.
Once this is up and running, Ostling will be in the Patheos "News and Politics" channel, which is also the home of GetReligion. Obviously, Ostling expects to get his share of questions about the role of religion in the news and public life and, thus, GetReligion plans to feature at least one of his posts each week. It's the kind of cooperation we hope to see more of around these cyber-parts (hint, hint former GetReligionista Jeremy Lott and Deacon Greg Kandra, the former CBS News scribe).
Those seeking a quick introduction to Ostling, via audio, can check out this interview conducted at the Calvin Institute of Worship.
Here's a large chunk of that AP text, focusing on the four camps that Ostling calls "dismissal, perplexity, renovation and traditionalism."
Dismissal is the left-fringe attitude personified by Bishop John Shelby Spong, former head of the Newark, N.J., diocese. In "The Sins of Scripture" (HarperSanFrancisco), he says calling the Bible "the Word of God" (a belief he himself affirmed at ordination) is "perhaps the strangest claim ever made" for a document. Spong finds the Old Testament's homosexual prohibitions ignorant and "morally incompetent" expressions of "popular prejudices." With the New Testament, he disdains Paul's condemnations as "ill-informed" ravings from a zealot who, he hypothesizes, was a "deeply repressed, self-loathing" homosexual.
"The contending positions are mutually exclusive," he concludes, and "there can be no compromise." He dismisses conservative views as "frail, fragile and pitiful."
The other three approaches were displayed at a … hearing before the international Anglican Consultative Council. …
Perplexity was the outlook of Anglican Church of Canada representatives. Their denomination affirmed the "integrity and sanctity" of homosexual relationships and tolerated a diocese's blessing ceremonies for same-sex couples. The Canadians said they are "seeking discernment" but face "deep divisions" and lack consensus.
Renovation was the policy of the U.S. Episcopal Church in its report "To Set Our Hope on Christ," written by seven theologians. It was the denomination's first official rationale for recognition of the unhindered same-sex blessings in its ranks and for toleration of openly gay clergy, including a bishop.
Traditionalists answered that argument with "A True Hearing," a paper by writers from nine nations that the Anglican Mainstream group gave to delegates to explain the stance endorsed in 1998 by 82 percent of the world's Anglican bishops.
And so forth and so on. In other words, Ostling is going to help point readers and, I would imagine, some journalists toward information and resources on complex religion-news questions. I would be hard-pressed to name a better scribe to take on that task.
Stay tuned.

Camera Club duties have, again, taken their toll when it comes to my own photography since Christmas. That's life, unfortunately. I did have the chance to wander around with my new IR camera one lunchtime last week, however, and these are the results.
My office is just around the corner from Cambridge Airport, hence the picture above.
The "greasy spoon" caravan is just outside the Airport perimeter fence, and directly opposite a large Mercedes dealership. Usually this means that there is no shortage of takers for its wares. Because of the red filter in the IR camera, the "NO ENTRY" sign has been rendered almost invisible. The second picture is a local "tyre, brake and exhaust" outfit, and the chap shown was simply basking in the early February sun.
The final four pictures are of the Mercedes dealership, which has just had a shiny new aluminium cladding fitted - presumably as this will make people spend even more on their outrageously expensive cars. Interestingly, the flags in the last shot genuinely were blue; but then so was the sky. That's one of the things I love about IR photography, as it's not always possible to predict the outcome.

How To Use Art To Make Your Home Look Amazing Without Spending A Fortune.
Home Art.
Art comes in various forms. From wall hangings, sculptures and fabrics used in the home. It brings pomp and color to a rather dull living area. For those who know how to use their art pieces well, the homes look very inviting and colorful. You do have to have a diploma in art to have the ability to pick out nice things that will attract enormous change to your home. You only need to choose staff that you like which match the general tone of your d?cor. Below are some tips that will completely change your life.
Word Art.
Word art is whereby you stencil your favorite quotes directly onto your wall or onto canvas, making or buying big, bold letter shape pieces to use in wood or metal or even choosing framed letter images. Words could make really unique effects to your home. Name art is also very effective. You could make up words that relate to your daily life, experience or hobbies to make a statement and at precisely the exact same time add glamour to the home. You do not have to be arty to attain this. You can do it as a family for pleasure by asking the kids to create their names and hobbies to come up with lovely creations. These can be used from the kid's bedrooms.
Use Black and White Photography.
You can purchase many mass produced abstract images from d?cor shops. They tend to make the room seem great. The best way to use abstract pictures is to find ones that are able to make a nice color accent. Good way to decorate a room is by using neutral or pale colors which are used on walls and other large areas and one or two accent colors which are used for things like rugs and lamps. Using a piece of abstract art that brings in the accent colors you have chosen is a great way to feature those colors on the wall space.
Use Black and White Photography.
Black and white images create more dramatic effects and in addition make the subjects of the pictures look better. The easiest thing to do when you want to continue the color accent motif while at the same time using black and white pictures is to mount several black and white pictures on a colored background.
Art On Surfaces.
The walls are not exactly the only areas where artwork can make your house look appealing. Putting fine bits of 3D could be tricky at any point. You need to be skillful in choosing the right decorations that will not spoil the whole thing. You could consider getting unique sculptures and centerpieces that will match your theme.

Intro Generatepress Responsive
Within the previous ten decades, I've used a great deal of different WordPress topics and have been very disappointed. Up till recently, I was utilizing MyThemeShop, that was pretty excellent. But I still had to perform a great deal of customization to allow it to do and work the way I needed it to. A few weeks ago I decided to give GeneratePress a try, and let me just say, it is by far the best WordPress theme I have found in a decade . I had been dismissed and am now moving all my sites to GeneratePress. I'll go into precisely why in my comprehensive GeneratePress review below. And if you are wondering, yes I have tried Genesis, Astra, OceanWP, Avada, X theme, Divi as well as many other lightweight and thicker multi-purpose themes. Generatepress Responsive
To Begin, Click here to download GeneratePress.
GeneratePress Review
GeneratePress is a free WordPress theme created by Tom Usborne, a developer from Canada. I've actually seen it for years from the WordPress repository. Most of you know that I am pretty picky when it comes to web performance, and so I have a tendency to dismiss everything from the repository. Typically because a great deal of things on there is not that great, or not supported for long. However, in this circumstance, this was a mistake. The motif currently has more than half a million downloads, 80,000+ active installs, with over 500 5-star ratings. So obviously Tom is doing something right here.
I Really installed the free version of the motif and in a matter of 15 minutes bought the premium version. I could tell right off the bat, the programmer was thinking exactly how I was envisioning a theme should work. And I'll go into that more below, but let us first look at some of the qualities. I will be covering the premium version of the theme, because it's worth . Actually, Tom, in the event that you read this and so are seeing Scottsdale, Arizona, java on me.
Super lightweight and quick. Modular design allowing you to enable/disable things you do not need running. This is one of the greatest reasons I adore GeneratePress.
Responsive, looks great across all devices.
Schema built-in, for better results in SERPs.
Dramatic integration with all the WordPress Customizer. I have not been a fan of the customizer previously, but Tom does it correctly.
Compatible with popular plugins, Yoast SEO, WooCommerce, EDD, BuddyPress, bbPress, and WPML. Fantastic browser support back to IE8.
Additionally, it works great with the favorite fast-growing Elementor page builder. If you want to dive into even more customizations, these really are a terrific combo. I have also read that individuals using Beaver Builder have had success.
Resumes prepared.
Font awesome built in.
A lot of hooks and filters that make it great for programmers.
Excellent active service from the programmer. Normally, 3 updates per month.
The Documentation can be unbelievable. Besides have good documentation on their site, the subject has been around long enough that everything I wholeheartedly during the setup process was found inside a few seconds from their own forum.
Diving Into GeneratePress
Now it's Time to the fun part! I always test a brand new theme right from the box with no customizations to just see how quickly the base is. This tells me a lot of what I can expect by the time that I add everything to it. Running the inventory GeneratePress WordPress motif on Kinsta hosting clocked in at a whopping 265 ms load time. I was quite impressed.
One Thing I was worried about with GeneratePress was that the modular design was going to generate a whole lot of big files, but this isn't the situation. You can tell that Tom literally worked hard on ensuring that every record packed in GeneratePress is as small as possible. With HTTP/2, the amount of files isn't as significant. However, the size is! Take a look at some of the core GeneratePress files under:
/generatepress/css/unsemantic-grid. min.css 2.9 KB
/generatepress/style. css 7.1 KB
/generatepress/css/mobile. min.css 1.6 KB
/generatepress/js/navigation. min.js 1.1 KB
/generatepress/js/dropdown. min.js 1.5 KB
That is a developer that cares about performance! And I've Seen exactly the same throughout each of the premium add-ons. They're as small as you can possibly get them. In fact, Font Awesome is most likely the largest file contained. And that isn't even his. With Font Awesome 5 arriving round the corner, we could anticipate that to get smaller also.
The premium add-ons Are installation in what I'd call a modular design. It is possible to activate/deactivate anything you aren't using to guarantee they don't load on your site. Since the co-developer of this perfmatters plugin that has a script manager built, I felt right at home with this. Everything ought to be designed this way.
If You are interested, I'm using the next add-ons on this site:
Page Header
No Child Theme Needed
One of The best features of GeneratePress is that I no more have to use a young child theme. This makes my life much easier. No more editing my functions.php or header.php files. I will literally update my GeneratePress motif this very minute and not lose one customization. The hooks add-on definitely helps make it possible. It permits you to add custom code/PHP everywhere throughout your WordPress site. Generatepress Responsive
Other Things I Love About GeneratePress
On every Page/post you have a great deal of alternatives. You can alter the sidebar design and the footer widgets.
You Can quickly swap a page involving the default option to a complete width page, as well as disable components.
The WordPress customizer choices is really where GeneratePress really shines! Remember, a lot of these choices are permitted by the premium add-ons. I can't show you everything, otherwise, we'd be here all day. However, let me show you couple which really come in handy.
Responsive Columns
Another Plugin I highly recommend grabbing is your free Lightweight Grid Columns. Not to my surprise, this is also made by precisely the same developer as GeneratePress. It enables you a super simple way to add responsive columns to any page or article. Characteristics include:
Desktop grid width
Tablet grid width
Mobile grid thickness
Add custom courses
Add custom inline styles
Equal height columns
This is An example under:
You might want to Also catch his amazing WP Show Posts plugin also. See my featured posts on the sidebar of this website? That's using the WP Show Posts plugin. I have it set to display posts from a particular"featured" category. You might also have it show past modified/updated posts, recent posts, etc.. I'm using the free version and it works terrific.
To Get started, Click here to download GeneratePress.
Sections Add-on
The Sections add-on in the premium edition of GeneratePress allows you to perform all sorts of things in terms of design. Consider it like a page builder with no bloat. GeneratePress is certainly not only for blogs! I am in fact using GeneratePress for our ecommerce site (perfmatters.io) that is running Easy Digital Downloads. Feel free to look it over. But as you can see below, it looks nothing like a site.
Speed Tests
For those Of you who are regular readers, you probably did not even notice that I changed the entire motif that powers woorkup.com. It only took me about an hour for GeneratePress to mimic my MyThemeShop motif which I had spent a year customizing. Here's a comparison below.
woorkup.com Old MyThemeShop Theme
My older MyThemeShop motif was pretty fast, but I spent a great deal of time scrutinizing it. In fact, I've gotten a lot of emails from you guys asking me to print all of my customizations. My advice now is, simply get GeneratePress!
woorkup.com New GeneratePress Theme
With the New GeneratePress motif I was able to attain faster speeds and 600 fewer lines of code! And remember, I do not have a child motif. Each of the customizations were created with the wonderful GP hooks and snippets plugin (both CSS and PHP).
Like the WordPress theme I have running on woorkup? You are in luck. Tom asked if he could create a replica of woorkup for the new GeneratePress blog library. I am pleased to allow you to know that you can now install my woorkup motif in your GeneratePress site with just a single click! It is called the Marketer motif. Get started using a great blog design immediately.
brianjackson.io Old Array Theme's Theme
Additionally, I Moved within my personal site, brianjackson.io, to GeneratePress. Previously I had been using a theme from Array Themes. It is a fairly basic minimum site, as I do not use it to get much. As you can see it loaded pretty quickly.
brianjackson.io New GeneratePress Theme
I was Able to duplicate the whole look 100% in GeneratePress in under one hour. And as you can see it loads faster! Amazing. I was able to eliminate a couple plugins that weren't needed because of GP.
forgemedia.io Old Array Theme's Theme
Additionally, I Moved over our business site, forgemedia.io, to GeneratePress. Previously I had been using a theme from Array Themes. It is a fairly basic minimal site, as we simply use it to our LLC. Since you can see it loaded pretty quickly. Generatepress Responsive
forgemedia.io New GeneratePress Theme
I had been Able to move everything over and get it looking just how I needed it in under one hour. And since you can see it loads faster! Amazing. I managed to eliminate a total of four plugins and it dropped my whole page weight 2x!
I can't express my Excitement about locating GeneratePress and I am moving over all of my websites for this (which includes some EDD e-commerce websites ). After I've got my 9 sites all running in GP without any child themes, my entire life will be a breeze! The developer has restored my faith in multi-purpose subjects , which when done the correct way, can actually perform faster.
And The best news is, I finally have a thousand more options to choose from than I did earlier.
What GeneratePress Is Good For…
GeneratePress Is the ideal alternative for performance-focused users that wish to be able to personalize and control exactly how their site appears.
You Can make GeneratePress do pretty much anything. And since GeneratePress has a focus on functionality, the site that you build will have a great base to make it load quickly.
Because Of that, those who assemble WordPress sites for a living love GeneratePress. They will typically pair it with a WordPress site builder and use it for literally any type of site.
But GeneratePress Might Not Be A Fantastic Fit If…
…you Want something that will immediately appear perfect out of the box.
For Example, if you realize you wish to produce a fashion blog, you may be happier picking out a market theme that is developed exclusively for fashion bloggers.
Even though GeneratePress has gotten a great deal simpler to use, thanks to its pre-built Website Library, GeneratePress still looks very barebones when you first install it.
So To create GeneratePress look how you want it to, you'll almost certainly need to go in and customize matters. And though the significant benefit of GeneratePress is how customizable it is, many users, especially casual users, don't like having to make those changes themselves.
GeneratePress Features That Make It Unique
Here Are some of the specific characteristics that explain why GeneratePress is so common.
Plenty Of Customization Options From The Real-Time WordPress Customizer
Beyond Functionality, another place where GeneratePress does nicely is its customization choices.
GeneratePress Uses the WordPress Customizer for customization, and this can be convenient because you'll be able to see all of the changes that you make in real time.
The Free variant of GeneratePress provides you decent options, but if you own GeneratePress Premium, you will be able to customize pretty much everything about your website.
For Example, if you go in the Layout area, you can configure detailed settings to yourown:
- Header — you can move your header around and alter its own styling
- Navigation — GeneratePress gives you two different navigation options, such as sticky menus
- Sidebar design — you can utilize a Couple of sidebars
- Blog post layout — such as featured image size, metadata, etc..
- Footer layout — just like how many widgets to add
Likewise, That the Typography place enables you to control the font to get each and every element on your site, including buttons:
And You also receive a thorough area to control the colour of every single element on your site.
All Whatsoever, GeneratePress will provide you a lot more customization options from the WordPress Customizer compared to most other topics. This level of detail might be a bit overwhelming if you are a newcomer. But once you realize the way the settings come together, you'll have full control on how your site appears.
Optimized Performance And Fast Page Load Times
Across All its attributes, GeneratePress always has a focus on excellent performance and tidy code. The whole theme is less than 30 kB, and it is about as small as you are ever going to find for a WordPress theme. Even most other optimized WordPress topics are still 200+ kB. And a few poorly coded topics can even exceed 1 MB!
GeneratePress Also does not have any code dependencies, which helps you avoid the render blocking error that Google Pagespeed Insights often cites.
Place That together, and you get a superfast-loading theme. How quickly? To give you a sense, I ran a little test.
First, I set up a vacant site utilizing a random popular WordPress.org motif (Envo Magazine). After testing its functionality with Pingdom, it
- Had a performance tier of 77
- Loaded in 1.05 moments
- Had a page size of 243.9 kB
- Had 15 asks
That is Not bad in any way! But GeneratePress can do better.
Next, I triggered GeneratePress on exactly the exact same test site without changing anything else. Here is how GeneratePress failed:
- Had a performance tier of 87, 10 points greater
- Loaded in 666 ms, ~37% quicker
- Had a page size of 26.8 kB, ~90% smaller
- Had 9 requests, ~40% less
If You do that same test with different topics, you are going to continue to see that GeneratePress is one of the fastest-loading WordPress themes in life. Generatepress Responsive
Other Useful Premium Extensions, Plus A Modular Approach
Past Giving you more style controls in the WordPress Customizer, GeneratePress Premium comes with a lot of other helpful features like:
- Elements — a unique feature which allows you create custom hooks, page headers, or layout templates.
- Page Header — allows you create a exceptional page header onto a per-page basis.
- Sections — this is sort of like lightweight page construction. It lets you create different"sections" onto a page, each with their own design and column settings.
To Remain lightweight, GeneratePress also gives you a modular interface where you can pick and choose exactly which characteristics you want to activate.
That Way, you do not have to slow down your site for a quality which you'll never use.
Pre-Made Starter Sites Make It Easier To Design Your Website
In The last, you had to construct GeneratePress websites from a blank canvas regardless of what, which left the motif difficult for casual users to install.
Earlier In 2018, though, the programmer added a fresh Site Library attribute for GeneratePress Premium users that allows you easily import any among the 25+ pre-built demonstration websites .
You Can import them directly from your WordPress dashboard.
Yes this site still uses GeneratePress! All I did was click on a few buttons to import a presentation site.
Page-Level Settings Provide You Detailed Control Over Each Bit Of Content
With Most themes, each page and post will use the same configurations for the most part. You may have some custom templates or formats — but you don't have very much control beyond that.
GeneratePress Changes that by giving you a new Design meta box for each and every post and page:
You Can use this meta box to:
- Change how many sidebars your site uses, or the sidebar orientation (such as altering the sidebar from right to left)
- Choose the number of footer widgets to use
- Disable certain elements, such as your header, navigation menu, article featured picture, article title, or footer
- Produce a special"container" for your page builder
Where These controls would be the most helpful is if you are using a WordPress page builder.
By Disabling certain components, you are in a position to create the correct baseline for your page builder design, which makes it effortless to create custom articles as needed. Generatepress Responsive
GeneratePress Replies: Cheap And Works On Unlimited Sites
The Core GeneratePress motif can be obtained at no cost at WordPress.org.
That said, If you're serious about utilizing GeneratePress, I believe you need to purchase the GeneratePress Premium plugin, as that is what makes the theme so flexible. The free version doesn't give you almost as numerous settings in the WordPress Customizer. And you'll also miss out on the premade Site Library.
GeneratePress Premium is also still fairly reasonably priced. It costs just $39.95, which provides you use on unlimited sites. You will also get a 40% discount if you would like to renew to continue receiving support and upgrades following the initial year (you can, obviously, keep using GeneratePress after the initial year without beating — you just won't get any more upgrades ).
When You consider the normal premium WordPress theme will usually cost around $60, GeneratePress offers a fantastic value.
As I said, I do not think GeneratePress is for everyone.
If You desire a niche-specific theme, you can probably save time by buying a theme that satisfies your needs for your niche out of day one.
But If you are ready to spend some time changing preferences, then GeneratePress' mode controls give you the flexibility to flip it into any type of WordPress site. Or, you might even be able to find a starter website that fits your needs to save a little time.
Additionally, It is one of those fastest-loading WordPress themes you will find. Therefore, if you're looking for the best performance possible, using GeneratePress as your WordPress site's base is a great decision.
If You combine it with fast-loading hosting, you shouldn't have any difficulty making your site load in under one minute. Generatepress Responsive

Let's get this out of the way right off the bat: yes we all are subject to parasites, no you shouldn't be freaked out just yet. This isn't meant to scare anyone, it's simply a fact, and it's better we learn how to deal with parasites properly than simply ignore them and hope they'll go away.
The good news is that cleansing parasites is not all that hard and can be done very affordably. The difference in the way you will feel after a cleanse, should you need to do a cleanse, will be astronomical. And so, in this article we'll go through how we get parasites, what problems they can cause, the stories of real people's health transformations and how we can get rid of them.
"Ninety percent of humans will have a problem with parasites in their lifetime." – Dr. Oz
Intestinal parasites can infect the gastro-intestinal tract of humans and other animals. While they can live in different areas of the body, they mainly stick to intestinal walls. You can get parasites in a number of ways; they can come from the ingestion of undercooked meat, unwashed fruits and vegetables, or infected water. You can also get them while travelling, from contact with animals, or through skin absorption.
There are a few types of parasites we can get:
Trichinella: Infection with the microscopic parasite Trichinella leads to trichinellosis, also known as trichinosis. This comes from eating undercooked meats.
Hookworm: Hookworm infects an estimated 576 to 740 million people worldwide and was once a common infection in the U.S., particularly in the southeast. This typically happens from walking barefoot on contaminated soil.
Dientamoeba Fragilis: This parasite is one of the smaller parasites that can live in the large intestine. It's unclear how exactly it is contracted or spread.
A study out of The University of Maryland states, "Parasites can live within the intestines for years without causing any symptoms." This is why many of us have parasites without even knowing it.
Symptoms Of Parasites
Symptoms can range greatly and so it's important to focus on some of the most crucial ones in order to understand how serious our infection might be.
- Changes in the appearance or frequency of bowel movements, especially if you have excessive diarrhea or loose stools for two weeks.
- Chronic exhaustion not resolved by a week of restful sleep.
- Unexplained and sudden weight loss of at least 10 pounds over two months.
- Itching around the anus for at least two weeks, especially if there is no rash.
- Cramping and abdominal pain.
Again, the 5 listed above are the more serious symptoms, but the following are also common: constipation, diarrhea, gas and bloating, irritable bowel syndrome, joint and muscle aches, allergies, sugar cravings, skin conditions – mostly irritation/itching at nose, ears, eyes, anus – but also potentially rashes, hives, eczema, acne, headaches, chronic fatigue, trouble sleeping, yeast and candida infection.
Herbs for a complete parasite cleanse."
- BLACK WALNUT HULLS (from the black walnut tree – juglans nigra): Used by the Indians of America as an anti-parasite, anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal remedy. Its active ingredients are juglone, tannin and iodine. The tincture of the green hulls of the black walnut kills the adult stages of the parasites.
- WORMWOOD (from the Artemisia shrub – artemisia absinthum): Known for its vermicidal properties and helps those with a weak and under-active digestion. It increases the acidity of the stomach and the production of bile. The wormwood capsules kill the larval stages of the parasites.
- COMMON CLOVES (from the clove tree – eugenia caryophyllata): Anti-parasitical, anti-fungal, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. It also removes pain. The clove capsules remove the parasite eggs.

Expert help in preventing future floods in the most at risk areas of the county has become available thanks to a three-year Northamptonshire County Council project.
The Pathfinder II project - launched last year - allows groups to apply for support to help reduce the likelihood of surface water flooding, and aims to offer help to 30 communities based in either urban or rural settings, and be residential or commercial or a combination of both.
If their application is successful a flood survey carried out by civil engineers will then help to develop community action plans and longer-term solutions.
The successful applicants would need to identify community members who can be flood wardens and someone who will be the main point of contact for their area.
The money for the initiative has been made available from the Anglian Northern Regional Flood and Coastal Committee and follows on from the initial Pathfinder project, which was launched three years ago.
Cllr Ian Morris, county council cabinet member for transport, highways and environment, said: "Being a victim of flooding is an extremely upsetting experience and can be very disruptive for a long time after the event.
"What's great about the Pathfinder project is that flood resilience measures are tailor-made for the individual communities by mixing historical experience with current information from a professional survey.
"Quite often it is some very basic measures that are needed to make a significant difference, so any communities that think they could benefit should apply."
Any community can apply, with the scheme aimed at geographical areas. These can be villages, residents' groups, industrial estates or a group of town centre businesses.
To apply go to the Flood Toolkit website www.floodtoolkit.com.
Some areas of Northampton and surrounding county to have been affected by floods in the past, and remain at risk, include parts of Far Cotton, St James, Billing, Wellingborough, Yelvertoft, Nether Heyford, Welford and Spratton.

If you have been using conventional tires for your jacked up truck and finding it hard to pull tractors and mud bogs using the trucks, then perhaps you should look at the option of changing over to specialized and extra large tires as well as wheels. These tires are now available in the market thanks to the push by the Monster truck enthusiasts as well as agricultural vehicle industry.Unlike what many believe that the horsepower of the engine and the ground clearance that you are able to achieve with the upgraded jacked up truck lies its effectiveness, the fact remains that it is the tires that matter the most and makes it effective utility. This is not known to many people though.Before you plan to get your jacked up truck fitted with retreaded D 12 tires it is important for you to understand technically as well as functionally what you are trying to do. Speak to those who have got this job done before and see how they are finding it and then decide to go ahead with the project.The project is more complicated that you really imagine it to be, because it is not only that the tire is retreaded to match the truck, but the truck too has to undergo certain amount of customization in terms of 4 link suspension as well as special chassis and body to be able to fit these tires. So you will need some expert guidance for this project.
Car Tires Are Not Just Rubber
Car tires check is an imperative part of automotive inspection in ensuring your safety on the road. Basically for tires, the most common thing to do is to always make sure the tires have adequate and proper amount of air pressure. The tire pressure must be checked when the tire is cold as pressure is affected by temperature. The air temperature inside the tire is increased while driving and causes the tire to expand. A low tire pressure is more dangerous than a little higher pressure because the former makes the tire more susceptible to wear thus presenting the need for replacement. Additionally, when the tire is soft, the car uses more fuel.
The wheels and the tires too should be well balanced. A common procedure is to rotate the tires on a regular basis for an even wearing and to maximize the usability of the tires. If you notice that there is vibration when you are steering the vehicle's wheel while driving, it is an indication that the wheels and tires needs balancing. balancing is especially essential when the tire is new. Not only is steering affected by unbalanced tires and wheels but also the suspension system of the vehicle.
Tires have a certain amount of load that it can carry. When you put too much stuff in the vehicle, it also affects the condition of the tire. When there is excessive load in the car, the tire is possible to come off the rim when the car tries to turn in the road corner. Each vehicle has its appropriate type of tire to be used so depending on the possible loading on that particular vehicle.
Driving on incorrectly inflated tyres can cause problems both in terms of vehicle performance and road safety.
Given that 60% of people do not know what the legal car tyre tread depth limit is, it comes as little surprise that most of us do not know what the correct tyre pressure is for our vehicles either. The vehicles manual is usually a good place to start to find the correct pressures although failing that any garage should also be able to provide you with this information. Ideally, all car tyres should be checked at least once a month and at the beginning of any long journey using a tyre pressure gauge. It is also worth remembering that there are usually 2 correct pressures; one for 'normal' driving and one for 'loaded' driving, which is usually when the vehicle is loaded with passengers or is carrying a particularly heavy load.
Tyre Spot Ltd has been supplying and fitting car tyres in the Newcastle area for over 30 years. Today they have 9 branches across the Newcastle area and a website that allows users to purchase tyres online and book their vehicle in to their nearest Tyre Spot branch for fitment.

Salvation. What Must You Do To Be Saved?
Ballard Searches for Flood Evidence
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life,
on the seventeenth day of the second month-
on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth,
and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.
And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights. --Genesis 7
By David Usborne
23 July 2003
Painting; The Deluge by John Martin
The Bible tells us how the Great Flood happened, compelling Noah to herd all of animal life into his Ark.
The skies opened and it rained incessantly, in fact for 40 days and 40 nights. But some scientists have another theory altogether and this week an expedition will leave for the Black Sea to try to prove it.
Among the team will be Robert Ballard, the American underwater explorer who became famous when he found the Titanic beneath the Atlantic in 1985. He will be going with a special piece of equipment, a remote excavating submarine namedHercules.
No one disputes that the Black Sea was once a fresh-water lake that in ancient times became inundated by the salty Mediterranean. The arguments have been over how quickly it happened - was it only gradual? - and in what period. Until recently, most experts dated the flood to about 9,000 years ago.
But Mr Ballard thinks it was more recent, perhaps 7,500 years ago, which could more credibly make it the same flood that gave us the story of Noah. Moreover, he thinks it was sudden. As the ice age ended, sea levels rose and a strip of land dividing the Mediterranean and the Black Sea was breached.
It was, according to Mr Ballard, 61, a truly cataclysmic event. Previous expeditions tell us that the invasion of Mediterranean waters pushed up water levels in the Black Sea basin by about 500 feet (155 metres) and drowned about 60,000 square miles.
Mr Ballard thinks it was so rapid that salt water pushed in with 200 times the force of the Niagara Falls and that the rate of increase in the water level was six inches a day.
Demonstrating all of this is hard. And Mr Ballard faces scepticism from several quarters. Critics accuse of him pursuing the Noah's Flood legend for the sake of the inevitable publicity. He has never suggested that he will find the actual Ark. But even the vaguest possibility is enough to stir excitement.
Indeed, the $5m (Ł3.1m), two-week expedition, which begins from the Turkish Black Sea port of Sinop on Sunday, has been set up to garner maximum worldwide attention. Its progress will be watched live by academics, archaeologists and even schoolchildren around the globe, thanks to a satellite link from the expedition's ship to a nerve-centre at the University of Rhode Island in the United States.
Mr Ballard says the relay is vital because it will allow as many specialists as possible to analyse what he uncovers. "Exploration by its very nature means you don't know what you're going to find," he said. "So in fact it's very probable you're not going to have the right mix of scientists when you make a discovery."
There will also be film crew on board and a full television series is planned for next year. Sinop, a scenic and popular tourist destination, was chosen because it might have been an important hub for north-south trading across the Black Sea among ancient civilisations. Local populations may have sent olive oil, honey and iron in small amphora-like jars northwards in return for wine and other foods.
Archaeological activity became possible when the Black Sea was opened up with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. The interest in exploring beneath its waves was all the more intense because the waters are not oxygenated, offering the prospect of shipwrecks and other remains that should be perfectly preserved.
Indeed, what lies beneath the Black Sea could help archaeologists and historians to fill in blanks about periods of human existence going as far back as the Bronze Age and spanning the Roman and Byzantine empires.
Leading this latest expedition with Mr Ballard, is Fredrik Hiebert, a professor of archaeology at the University of Pennsylvania. He hopes to relocate wrecks that have already been identified, including one called "Shipwreck D", which has already revealed an intact and intricately carved mast protruding from the seabed.
He and Mr Ballard also plan to return to another earlier find - an arrangement of stones about 330 feet beneath the water that might have been a human dwelling. Critical to the venture is Hercules. A remote-controlled submersible, it is just 7 feet long from tip to tail and was built by Mr Ballard at the Robert Ballard Institute for Exploration, in Mystic, Connecticut.
The plan is to send it down as far as the stone settlement. Equipped with lights and cameras, the vessel will send pictures to the ship and back to Rhode Island.
In addition, the Hercules has two remote-controlled arms, which will excavate around the site. "If we're successful with this, we're going to change the field of archaeology," Mr Hiebert said. "It's open coastlines all over the globe" for further expeditions.
Mr Ballard first located the stone settlement during an earlier expedition in 2000. It consists of quarried square stones arranged in a rectangle of 33 feet by 40 feet (10 by 12 metres) on a rocky outcrop.
He is hopeful that he will be able to trace the site to a period about 7,500 years - which would bolster his theory that there were human habitations on the shore of the old lake before the flood struck and the area was drowned. "Mother nature does not make square stones," he commented. "Humans make them."
Mr Ballard is not entirely alone in his beliefs. In 1997, the same theory to support the origin of the Noah legends was rehearsed in Noah's Flood, a book written by two leading American marine biologists, Walter Pitman and William Ryan.
They concluded that the flood devastated the area 7,150 years ago. But there are problems with the idea. The Bible, for example, tells us that Noah lived in the arid deserts of Mesopotamia - in what is modern-day Iraq - whereas the Turkish shores of the lake where the Black Sea is today would have been lush with vegetation.
"The Noah's Flood idea is very sexy one, but it's wrong," Ali Aksu, a geologist at Memorial University in Newfoundland, told Newsweek. He says that he can demonstrate that the Black Sea was already at current levels 7,500 years ago. Nor, he says, was there ever a dramatic and sudden flood.
Water from the Mediterranean, Mr Aksu counters, sloshed back and forth over countless years.

When it comes to design and decor, beloved brands and top retailers are moving forward to fall as soon as July 4th has come and gone. The patio furniture goes on sale and the fall previews hit the catalogs. While we at Decoist believe in soaking up every last bit of summer, we also love reveling in design trends and pre-fall style! That's why today we're featuring some of our favorite new finds from today's leading brands and retailers. Not only do these beautifully photographed images serve as design inspiration, they give us a glimpse of fall's top trends! Consider this our little fall preview. Enjoy…
Relaxed Decadence
There's something luxe about the new fall decor. And we're loving it! But instead of being ultra-glam and unattainable, this new style is relaxed. CB2 is pioneering the look in full force with its declaration of "laid-back luxe" style. Yes, that exact term is in their Pre-fall 2016 catalog. Here's a sneak peek of the look in all of its breezy, gilded glory:
Some of the decadence is created by furnishings with metal detailing, as shown by CB2's Brass Inlay Cabinet. The vignette below is the ultimate in relaxed luxe…cocktails, anyone?!
The beauty of brass inlay can also be seen on CB2's new Recluse Desk, designed by Louis Filosa. Side note: check out the painted wall behind the desk. Is dusty rose this season's new pink?!
Clean lines keep luxe furnishings from being heavy or overbearing. The Durham Rectangular Coffee Table from Pottery Barn is crafted from kiln-dried reclaimed pine resting on a polished metal frame:
West Elm's Geo Hex Side Table in Slate creates a low key look with slate veneer and a metal base. The table's hexagonal form channels the simplicity of modern geo style, yet the antique brass finish provides a dose of luxury:
The Explosion Chandelier from Pottery Barn offsets its golden shine with a sleek design that evokes retro flair. Glam style, minus the formality!

Soothing Hues
The colors that pop up in this season's fall previews are neither ultra bold nor ultra boring. Gone are the stereotypical autumn hues of mustard, olive and rust. Instead, soothing colors going strong, often in exciting combinations. CB2's Analog 18″ by 12″ Pillow welcomes shades of mint, teal, peach and grey:
Shades of mint can also be seen in West Elm's Watercolor Tapestry Pillow Cover in Burgundy Multi. Abstract style with a hint of edgy color blends:

Did acrylic really ever go out of style?! Regardless, its newest evolution includes brass accents, as shown by these Acrylic + Brass Candleholders from West Elm:
Graphic Design
Dark lines on white backgrounds. There's nowhere like rugs for this linear, graphic style to flourish! But many of the top sellers are becoming trite. Thank goodness CB2 has introduced some new designs, like this Line Work Rug:
Today's light/dark graphic style has even made the jump from the rug to the furniture! West Elm's Hemming Swivel Armchair is inspired by vintage Danish designs and is available in either Twill or Diamond Stripe upholstery (shown below):

About the Book:
The Guardian Duke is award-winning novelist Jamie Carie's most exciting story yet, a uniquely arranged Regency-era romantic adventure where hero and heroine know each other through written letters but have yet to meet.
Gabriel, the Duke of St. Easton, is ordered by the King to take guardianship over Lady Alexandria Featherstone whose parents are presumed dead after failing to return from a high profile treasure hunt. But Alexandria ignores this royal reassignment, believing her parents are still alive and duly following clues that may lead to their whereabouts. Gabriel, pressured by what are actually the King's ulterior motives, pursues her across windswept England and the rolling green hills of Ireland but is always one step behind.
When they do meet, the search for earthly treasure will pale in comparison to what God has planned for both of them.
About the Author:
When she was six, Jamie's parents met Jesus and soon after started a church. It changed everything. Road trips with her dad—to and from Bible studies across Indiana—were filled with talks of things beyond earth's bounds – creation and the fall, God and Jesus and the rapture, the earthly walk compared to the spiritual walk, and how we are born for more than what we can see or touch.
The highlight of those nights was stopping at a truck stop in the middle of the night where her dad would spend a little of the offering basket on two slices of pie and a couple of Cokes. Nothing ever felt so special as a middle of the night slice of pie with her dad. And nothing could stop the writing pouring out of her.
As Jamie's relationship with God grew, she discovered her heart was filled with songs and poetry. During high school she wrote lyrics for her brother's band. (And she sang them too!) After college, Jamie married, had two sons and decided to stay home with them. While she homeschooled she wrote skits, poems, plays and short stories for school and church.
When her eldest son turned five she dove into the world of novels. She'd read romance novels for years, but couldn't relate to the flawless, saintly heroines in Christian romance novels. So she decided to write her own.

Snow Angel was born on a frosty night in an old farmhouse in Fishers, Indiana, where the cold floor gave plenty of motivation for the snow scene. Jamie loves to write late at night when the house is quiet and the darkness seems alive. Elizabeth and Noah had been playacting in herhead for a long time, so the story went fast.
Ten years later Snow Angel was published and won the ForeWord magazine Romance Book of the Year winner, was a National "Best Books 2007" Awards winner, and a 2008 RITA Awards® Best First Book finalist. It was the beginning of her dream career.

If she could only say one thing to her readers it would be, "Live the dreams God has destined you for!"

|About the Book
So my first "non-school related experience with Homer's classic tale, and my most powerful impression, beyond the overall splendor of the story, was...HOLY SHIT SNACKS these Greeks were a violent bunch. Case in point:...they hauled him out through the doorway into the court,lopped his nose and ears with a ruthless knife,tore his genitals out for the dogs to eat rawand in manic fury hacked off hands and feet.then once they'd washed their own hands and feetthey went inside again to join odysseus.their work was done here now.Their work was done here now. What a great line.Want more violence you say? How about slaughtering over 100 house guests for over-indulging in your hospitality? Can you say overkill!! And for the true splatter junkies out there, you can add in some casual rapes, widespread maiming, a score of people-squishing, crew members being chewed and swallowed, healthy doses of mutilation and torture, and one cyclops blinding. That should make even the most discriminating gore hound leg-humping happy. Yes...thats me...guilty.However, beyond the cockle-warming violence and mayhem, this is a rocking good story that I enjoyed (as in smile on my face thinking this is genuinely cool") much more than I expected to going into it. There is nothing dry or plodding about the story. Beautifully written, and encompassing themes of love, loyalty and heroism while commenting on many facets of the human condition. As important as this story is to literature, it is above all else...ENTERTAINING. In fact, without its massive entertainment factor, Im pretty sure its overall importance among the classics would be significantly reduced. Thankfully, there is no risk of that.A NOTE ON THE TEXTBefore I continue, I want to comment on the version I read/listened to because I think can be critical to people's reaction to the story. There are a TRUCKLOAD of Odyssey translations out there and, from what I've seen, they range wider in quality and faithfulness to the original text than those of almost any other work of Western Literature. These versions can differ so much that I believe two people with identical reading tastes could each read a different translation and walk away with vastly different opinions on the work.The version I am reviewing (and from which the above quote is derived) is the Robert Fagles translation which uses contemporary prose and structure while remaining faithful to the content of the original. I found it a terrific place for a "first experience" with this work because of how easy to follow it was. Plus, I listened to the audio version read by Sir Ian McKellen which was an amazing experience and one I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.In addition to the Fagles version, I also own the Alexander Pope translation as part of my Easton Press collection of The 100 Greatest Books Ever Written. While listening to the Fagles version, I would often follow along with the Pope translation and let me tell you....they are vastly different. While the overall story is the same, the presentation, prose and the structure are nothing alike. As an example, here is the same passage I quoted earlier from the Pope translation.Then forth they led [______], and beganTheir bloody work- they lopp'd away the man,Morsel for dogs! then trimm'd with brazen shearsThe wretch, and shorten'd of his nose and ears-His hands and feet last felt the cruel steel-He roar'd, and torments gave his soul to hell.They wash, and to Ulysses take their way:So ends the bloody business of the day.Very different treatments of the same scene. In my opinion, the Pope language is more beautiful and far more poetic and lyrical than the Fagles translation. However, I am glad I started with the Fagles version because it provided me with a much better comprehension of the story itself. No head-scratching moments. Now that I have a firm grounding in the story, I plan to go back at some point and read the Pope version so that I can absorb the greater beauty of that translation.In a nutshell, Im saying that you should make sure you find a translation that works for you. That's my two or three cents.THE STORYSo Odysseus, master strategist and tactician (not to mention schemer, manipulator and liar extraordinaire), travels home to Ithaca after the Trojan War. Delays and detours ensue which take up the first half of the story. Most of these travel snags are caused by Poseidon, who is grudging on Odysseus for stick-poking Poseidon's son (i.e. the Cyclops) in the peeper. Not to fear, Athena (goddess of guile and craftiness) is a proud sponsor of Odysseus and, along with some help for big daddy god Zeus, throws Odysseus some Olympian help.Odysseus' travels are full of great summer blockbuster-like entertainment and at the same time explore all manner of Greek daily life as well as touching on many of their beliefs and traditions. It really is a perfect blend of fun and brain food. From his time on the island homes of the goddesses Calypso and Circe (who he gets busy with despite his "undying" love for his wife, Penelope...men huh?), to his run ins with the giant Laestrygonians and the Lotus-eaters (i.e., thugs and drugs) and his fateful encounter with the Cyclops, Polyphemus. Odysseus even takes a jaunt to the underworld where he speaks to Achilles and gets to listen to dead king Agamemnon go on an anti-marriage rant because his conniving wife poisoned him to death. Homer does a superb job of keeping the story epic while providing the reader with wonderful details about the life of the greek people during this period.The man had story-telling chops..Meanwhile, while Odysseus is engaged in the ancient greek version of the Amazing Race, back on Ithaca we've got a full-fledged version of the Bachelorette going on as over a hundred suitors are camped out at Odysseus pad trying to get Penelope to give them a rose. This has Odysseus' son, Telemachus, on the rage because the suitors are eating, drinking and servant-boinking him out of his entire inheritance while they wait on Penelope. You might think that Telemachus could just kick the freeloaders out, but the law of "hospitality" was huge for the Greeks and the suitor-douches use it to full advantage.Well Odysseus eventually makes it back to Ithaca, alone and in disguise, after all of this crew have been eaten, squashed, drowned or otherwise rendered life-impaired. Not an easy place to live is ancient Greece. Odysseus proceeds to work a web of deceit and revenge against the suitors that is a wonder to behold. I'll leave the final climax to you, but I will say that there was no free lunch in Homer's time and the checks that people wrote with their bad behavior are paid in full.MY THOUGHTSThis was a fun, fun, fun read. I want to start with that because this is not one of those classics that I think is worth while only to get it under your belt or checked off a list. This was a great story with great characters and in a style that was both "off the usual path" but still easy to follow.Going back to my comments on the various versions of the story, I think this may end up being a five star read in one of the more flowery, densely poetic translations where the emotion and passion is just a bit more in your face. I am still thrilled to have listened to the version I did (especially as read by Gandalf) because I now have a firm foundation in the story and can afford to be a bit more adventurous with my next version.The tone of the story is heroic and yet very dark. The gods are capricious and temperamental and cause a whole lot of death and devastation for nothing more than a bruised ego or even a whim. The pace of the story is fast and moves quickly with hardly a chance to even catch your breath.It is a big epic story...it is THE BIG EPIC STORY...and its reputation is well deserved. A terrific read as well as one of the most important works in the Western canon. Definitely worth your time.4.5 stars. HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION!!

I design websites, so I live at the intersection of beauty and functionality. That's the long and short of it. I like finding creative and fun solutions for UI/UX challenges. I work with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, WordPress, Photoshop, Illustrator and whatever tools I need to get the job done.
Outside of development, I love learning, making things and generally being outdoors (I am an Oregonian, after all). I currently live in Lansing, MI, with my husband and our two cats, Thelma and Louise.
Got a question? Got a project? I'm always looking for new adventures, so feel free to drop me a line.
