HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — Asian stock markets ended firmly lower Friday as early optimism for progress on the U.S. "fiscal cliff" was dented after Republican lawmakers canceled a vote on a tax-cut plan.
Losses were notable in the region's largest markets, with Japan's Nikkei Stock Average NIK, +0.22% dropping 1% — after rising 1.3% at one point during the day.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index HSI, +0.37% gave up 0.7%, South Korea's Kospi 180721, +0.03% and Taiwan's Taiex XX:Y9999 dropped 1% each, Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index XJO, +0.20% lost 0.2%, and the Shanghai Composite Index 000001, +1.82% retreated 0.7%.
Regional stocks retreated after House Republican leaders on Thursday evening canceled a vote on a "Plan B" bill, which would have extended tax cuts on incomes below $1 million, saying they didn't have the votes to pass. Read: House Republicans cancel Plan B vote.
Shane Oliver, head of investment strategy at AMP Capital, said that while the turnaround in Asia "seems a bit perverse" — as shares had recently fallen on news that a vote on "Plan B" would go ahead — the volatility "just highlights the nervousness."
"At the end of the day I think a deal will be reached," he said, noting that negotiating parties are now around $200 billion apart on the revenue side. "They have moved closer together — that's some cause for optimism."
U.S. futures tumbled after the news, with Dow Jones Industrial Average futures US:DJZ2 and S&P 500 US:SPH3 futures both dropping 1.2%.
The performance capped a mixed performance for Asian stock benchmarks, with the Nikkei Average rising 2.1% and China's Shanghai Composite inching up 0.1%, while the Kospi gave up 0.7% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index shed 0.4%.
Major movers
Energy firms were weighing in Hong Kong, with China Petroleum & Chemical Corp. 386, +1.29% SNP, -1.50% down 1.4%, and Cnooc Ltd. 883, +0.52% CEO, -1.21% falling 0.4%, as benchmark U.S. oil futures briefly dropped below the $89-a-barrel level on the fiscal-cliff vote news. Read: Oil beats hasty retreat after cliff vote canceled.
The ICE dollar index DXY, +0.12% rose to 79.388, up from 79.239 in late trading on Thursday.
"In thin conditions, the moves resulting from [the pulled vote] were sharp, but in foreign-exchange mainly centered on the Japanese yen and yen crosses," said Michael Turner, strategist at RBC Capital Markets.
The dollar USDJPY, +0.12% fell to ¥84.04 against the Japanese yen after the U.S. vote cancellation, down from ¥84.43 recorded in late North American trading on Thursday.
The advance for the yen weighed on Japanese exporters, with Panasonic Corp. 6752, +0.49% US:PC declining 1.4%, Sharp Corp. 6753, +1.20% SHCAF, -0.95% losing 2.3%, and Toyota Motor Corp. 7203, +0.39% TM, -0.18% dropping 2.5%.
Mitsubishi Motors Corp. 7211, +0.23% MMTOF, -1.00% fell 5.8%, still reeling from a government rebuke to the company for issuing a fourth vehicle recall over the same safety issue.
In South Korean trading, heavyweight Samsung Electronics Co. 005930, +0.11% SSNLF, +0.00% lost 4.1% to weigh on the Kospi, after European Union regulators said late Thursday that they plan to issue a complaint against the firm as part of a probe over patents. Read: EU to file formal complaint against Samsung
Australian trading saw heavyweight miners decline amid losses for gold and palladium futures, along with oil, with BHP Billiton Ltd. BHP, +0.63% BHP, -0.76% and Rio Tinto Ltd. RIO, +0.45% RIO, +0.14% each down 0.9%.
Qantas Airways Ltd. QAN, +1.71% QUBSF, +0.00% ended flat, outperforming a downbeat market, after reporting that it carried 6.4% more passengers in November compared to the same period a year ago. Read: Qantas reports improved load factors.

Children of Guarantee Electrical Co. employees are sending the message, "Be Safe," to their parents and to other subcontractors and general contractors across the metropolitan St. Louis region. Their message will be the focus of a new safety campaign, launched to celebrate Guarantee's 100th anniversary in 2002. Copies of the children's posters will be displayed at area job sites and at Guarantee's corporate headquarters.
"Our wired for safety program is a major area of focus for every one of us here at Guarantee, and we wanted to innovate by getting our families into the act, too," said Roger Oertli, chief operating officer. We believe there is a heightened impact when our people see posters from children asking them to come home safely."
Rick Oertli, chief executive officer, said the event was the first of 12 monthly events scheduled to coincide with the company's 100th anniversary, including a safety awards program, foreman's appreciation night and a presentation on the 1904 World's Fair.
Founded in 1902 by seven men for the purpose of powering the 1904 World's Fair, St. Louis-based Guarantee Electrical now employs more than 600 engineers, electricians and staff. According to a company legend, the company received its name from the founders' "guarantee" that their installation would be complete on time and last through the seven-month World's Fair.

at the side you have 8cm for depower adjustment. Other systems may have more, but therefore your depower lenght is quiet long.
My experience is, that you don't need an adjuster, since you want power. And if you are overpowered you take a smaller kite.
It is not a beginner bar, but guys who rotate want power.

(CBS News) Birth control pills can only be purchased with a doctor's prescription. But on Tuesday, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said the pill should be available over the counter.
In the 1960's, when birth control pills were first approved, only married women could get a prescription.
Now nearly 11 million women in the U.S. are on the pill. Gynecologist Dan Grossman's research led to Tuesday's recommendation that oral contraceptives be made available over the counter to reduce the risk of unwanted pregnancies.
"We have over 50 years of experience with oral contraceptives now ," he said, "and it's one of the best-studied medications that's around, so we know that it's incredibly safe."
OB/GYN society says birth control pill should be sold over-the-counter
About half of all pregnancies are unintended, a rate that has not changed in 20 years. Nearly five million women considered at-risk for an unintended pregnancy do not use any kind of birth control.
"Women who aren't currently using any contraception or are using a less effective method might start using the pill," said Grossman. "And also, it could make the pill easier to get for women who are already taking it and prevent gaps in use."
Ann Mahan is a registered nurse and director of the student health clinic at Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey. She has concerns the recommendation.
"I can see a lot of chaos resulting from birth control pills being over the counter," she said.
She's worried that a lack of oversight could lead to misuse or increase the risk for side-effects such as blood clots.
"We need to have that contact with our patients," said Mahan, "and we need to be able to monitor their health. And the only way to do that is to have birth control pills stay a prescriptive item."
But the report cites evidence that women can effectively screen themselves for risk factors, such as smoking and hypertension. And when the pill was available over the counter, women were just as likely to use it correctly as those who received a prescription.
The Food and Drug Administration is already looking at ways to increase access to certain drugs, including oral contraceptives. Among the possibilities under discussion -- a one-time prescription, or even making drugs available through automated screenings at electronic kiosks.

Computers and energy consumptionFriday, January 23rd, 2009
In response to concerns about computer energy consumption, Facilities Management along with Administrative Computing have devised an energy conservation plan directed specifically at computers.
Administrative Computing is currently assembling a list of administrative and academic computers, their model types and typically how much energy they consume. These numbers will be directed to Facilities Management where a calculation of how much energy is used will be converted into a dollar amount.
A list of administrative computers along with their back-up nights will be distributed to the Energy Work Study students. All administration will be asked to turn off computers along with printers, scanners, speakers etc., except for their back-up night. If an employee leaves a computer on, a "friendly reminder" will be left encouraging the user to be more energy aware.
Because of sensitive information on academic and some administrative computers, we will not ask for these computers to be shut down. Directions on how to put computers in a low power state and request that printers and scanners be shut down will be distributed. Students will not enter faculty or sensitive administrative offices for any reason.
Thank you for support and participation in this matter.

Buck Showalter has been frustrated by the ambiguity of baseball's new replay review system, so when a call was overturned against the Orioles in the seventh inning of the club's 8-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday afternoon, the manager wanted some answers.
When an initial forceout call at second base — Jonathan Schoop lost the ball on the exchange to his throwing hand — was overturned after a challenge by the Cardinals, Showalter jumped out of the dugout, headed toward the umpires and emphatically gestured that he wanted the headset to talk to the replay officials who reversed the call in New York.
"I wasn't waiting around for that one," Showalter said when asked about the explanation he received from the umpiring crew on the field. "I was hoping to talk to New York, but they wouldn't let me."
Second base umpire Jeff Nelson gave Showalter some time to argue, but Showalter's animated display led to his first ejection of the season. He would have been thrown out of the game, regardless of his actions. According to baseball rules, any protest of a reviewed call is subject to ejection.
Showalter let loose after the game on a replay system that he said has diluted the talent pool of umpires, adding that home plate umpire Gabe Morales was "very challenged today. It might have been as challenging a game as we saw all year."
"You got a lot of these guys who are call-ups," Showalter said. "You have to have eight of them [reviewing calls] in New York. Kind of like expansion in the big leagues, there's a lot of players that wouldn't have been there before. So you try to be patient, which I've done a good job with, for the most part. It's frustrating for players.
"They [umps] are trying to [do] as good of a job as their experience level and talent level. And there's some really good ones, too. Some of them are young and good, too. … We have a lot of confidence [that], as we go forward, those problems will work themselves out. Today wasn't one of them."
After dominating the Cardinals (62-54) for the first two games of the series — outscoring them, 22-5, and hitting nine homers — the Orioles (67-50) couldn't complete a series sweep of St. Louis in front of an announced 27,779 at Camden Yards.
The American League East-leading Orioles are 18-22 in day games this season, including 6-12 at home. Their lead in the division dropped to five games after the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Detroit Tigers, 6-5 in 19 innings, on Sunday.
Orioles right-hander Kevin Gausman struggled through a 37-pitch first inning, but he fought to last five innings.
"From the first inning on, it was kind of a battle of keeping my pitch count down," Gausman said. "I did a good job of bouncing back in the second inning. That first inning was a rough one. It kind of seemed like wherever they hit the ball, we didn't have a guy there. Sometimes it happens that way. That's what you love about baseball, and sometimes it's what you hate about baseball."
Gausman (6-4) allowed 10 base runners — eight singles and two walks. He struck out six batters, including five in a span of six outs in the second and third innings.
"I think that's more pitches than we threw all year. I like that he didn't let the game get away from him completely," Showalter said. "It's a hot, sticky day after a challenging two games. A lot of borderline pitches. It wasn't like he imploded or anything."
Five batters into the game, the Cardinals took a 2-0 lead against Gausman, but the damage could have been worse.
After the first three St. Louis batters reached on singles, one run scored on Matt Adams' fielder's choice play at second base. Jhonny Peralta knocked in another run with an RBI single, and Jon Jay drew a walk to load the bases again.
But center fielder Adam Jones timed fly ball a flyout by Oscar Taveras perfectly and threw Adams out at home plate as he attempted to score after tagging up.
"That definitely got me off the hook," Gausman said. "I think I gave up three consecutive broken-bat base hits. Good pitches. I thought I pitched pretty effectively that first inning. Hats off to them. They just kind of made contact and fouled some good pitches off, but Jonesy kind of got me off the hook right there."
The Orioles cut the Cardinals' lead to one run on two separate occasions, but they were 2-for-13 with runners in scoring position and stranded eight base runners. Cardinals starter Lance Lynn (12-8) held the Orioles to three runs and nine hits in 5 2/3 innings.
"He's got that late-life fastball," Showalter said of Lynn. He's got kind of like Koji [Uehara], that same type of fastball, everybody just sits there and says, 'It's just X miles an hour and it should be easy.' It's not that easy. You see that high percentage of fastballs thrown like he does, you know he's got one that people don't square up very easily."
Nelson Cruz's double cut the deficit to 2-1 in the bottom of the first inning, but the Orioles couldn't take advantage of having runners at second and third bases with one out. Chris Davis and Delmon Young both struck out to end the inning
Davis went 0-for-4 on the afternoon, stranding six base runners, including five in scoring position.
After Jay's two-out single in the third gave the Cardinals a 3-1 lead, the Orioles had the bases loaded with one out in the bottom of the inning and couldn't score, with Davis striking out and Young flying out to right field.
They cut the lead to one in the fifth when Nick Markakis scored on a wild pitch. But Manny Machado was stranded at second base when Cruz and Davis hit back-to-back flyouts.
After the Cardinals tacked on another run in the eighth on Matt Carpenter's ground-rule double off Andrew Miller, Peter Bourjos' three-run homer off closer Zach Britton broke the game open in the ninth.
With a runner on first base and one out in the top of the seventh, Jay hit a ball up the middle on which shortstop Ryan Flaherty — playing there after starter J.J. Hardy was scratched with a left thumb sprain — made a terrific diving stop.
Flaherty tossed the ball to Schoop at second base, but Schoop dropped the ball on the transfer to his throwing hand. Nelson initially called the runner at second base — Peralta — out on the play.
But after Cardinals manager Mike Matheny challenged the play, the call was overturned and Showalter came out of the dugout and headed toward Nelson and third base umpire Laz Diaz. Showalter gestured toward the replay official in the third-base camera pit that he wanted the headphones to talk to the replay officials in New York.
"You just want to ascertain whether it's an argument directly related to the replay result or if it was an unrelated question to clarify something such as how many challenges someone would have left or something like that," Nelson said about giving Showalter some time before ejecting him.
The transfer rule has been a smoking gun for the new replay system.
In the Orioles' game April 20 on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball, Flaherty dropped a ball on a transfer play at second base, one of several instances that forced baseball to modify the rule determining possession just a few days later. The rule reverted to the previous interpretation — that a fielder isn't required to successfully remove the ball from his glove while attempting to make a throw.
"Ball's in back of the glove, just like the old rule, new rule, old rule," Showalter said. "They changed it out of spring, then they changed it back to the old rule. Today, it got changed back to the other one, so what are you going to do?"

May 08, 2008
By Tracy Mlakar
LOS ANGELES - UCLA Anderson received an investment of $10 million from BlackRock Chairman and CEO Laurence D. Fink (MBA '76, UCLA '74), and his wife Lori Fink. The gift endows the Center for Finance & Investments, which will be renamed the Laurence D. and Lori W. Fink Center for Finance & Investments in recognition of the Fink's generosity.
See exclusive article in the Financial Times.
Of this gift, $3 million will be used to create the Laurence D. and Lori W. Fink Endowed Chair in Finance pending approval by the academic senate; the remainder will support MBA and PhD fellowships, and provide critical ongoing support for the center and its activities.
"I am deeply grateful for Larry and Lori's extraordinary support for the school," says UCLA Anderson Dean Judy D. Olian. "With their vision and commitment, we will further enhance the reputation of the Center throughout the finance, academic and professional communities, having an impact on national and global financial markets."
Since the center launched in 2006, it has created mutually beneficial synergies between academia and practitioners. Through conferences and newsletters, the center allows the discoveries of the center faculty's relevant and innovative research to be disseminated to practitioners.
"Academic research cannot be insular; it must be relevant and effectively communicated to achieve maximum impact," says Fink. "Lori and I are excited to support the Center in its role of channeling these valuable findings, giving finance professionals an opportunity to gain new perspectives and remain at the forefront of key industry issues."
The center also serves as a bridge to the industry through the development of its future finance leaders. Relationships with the center's Advisory Board, of which Fink has served as its chair since 2006, help students to connect to possible internships or careers in the industry.
A prominent leader on Wall Street, Fink is chairman and CEO of BlackRock, the largest publicly traded investment manager in the U.S. He is also a Trustee of the BlackRock Equity and Bond Fund Complex within the firm's open-end fund family.
Beyond his accomplishments in the finance world, Fink and his wife have been extremely generous philanthropists to the academic and medical communities. Currently, he serves on the Board of Trustees at New York University and also as Co-Chairman of the NYU Hospitals Center Board of Trustees. Last year, Fink was the recipient of the John E. Anderson Distinguished Alumnus Award, the highest recognition that UCLA Anderson bestows upon alumni.

If Mitt Romney wins the presidency, his policies would take American sex back at least 60 years, according to a new column from prominent historian Nancy L. Cohen, featured in the latest issue of Playboy.
Romney, a Mormon, is against freely available birth control and abortion, Cohen writes.
"When Willard Mitt Romney entered high school, in 1961, birth control was illegal in some states, abortion was illegal except in rare cases, sodomy — often including oral sex — was a crime in every state and young single women had to lie to get the pill," Cohen writes. "Is America going back to those days? That depends on what happens in November."
Here's how she says Romney as president would change American sex:
- "Contraception will be less accessible, more expensive and, for some women, completely out of reach," Cohen writes. Romney was opposed to President Obama's policy requiring all insurers to provide birth control for no additional charge. He also promised to get rid of Title X, a federal program that provides 5 million women with contraception.
- Abortion would be outlawed. "The 2012 Republican Party platform calls for a U.S. constitutional amendment to ban abortion even in cases of incest, rape and threat to the life of the mother," Cohen writes. She speculates that Romney would appoint conservative Supreme Court justices to overturn abortion.
- Birth control could eventually be banned. Romney has said he disagrees with the ruling of Griswold Vs. Connecticut, a 1972 case that basically stated sexual freedom is a constitutional right. If the ruling were overturned, "nothing would stand in the way" of legally banning birth control, according to Cohen. She stresses that this would be more likely to affect states in the Bible Belt.
- Sexual education in schools could go away. "Travel through the heartland and over the Rockies into Salt Lake City, where in the shadow of the Mormon Tabernacle a Utah lawmaker defended censorship because saying the word condom to students was like encouraging them to "mainline" heroin," Cohen writes.
- Porn would be less available. In a speech, Romney told voters he would "make sure that every new computer sold in this country after I'm president has installed on it a filter to block all pornography." He also plans to up anti-obscenity laws.
While many of Romney's supporters see him as the moderate governor of Massachusetts, this perception is dangerous given his conservative record on sexual issues, according to Cohen.
"Welcome to the future of your sex life," she writes. "Welcome back to 1950."

Open Letter to Brin & Page
December 14, 2004
Mssrs. Sergey Brin & Larry Page
Dear Sergey & Larry-
Surely you are aware of OpenOffice.
Perhaps the information of OpenOffice.org's 50-odd-million global downloads (combined with StarOffice) commands only the periphery of your attention. I'd like to bring these facts and their implications more to the center for you.
Keeping a long story short, you can help yourselves and the prospects for your company by using OpenOffice's open XML file format as a formatting option in your wonderful libraries project, and take other measures to promote OpenOffice to a position which makes it harder for your competitors to invest sufficiently to compete with you in search.
Now that one of your primary competitors is entering the search business--as well as the desktop search field--you have at least some of the competition you always envisioned. A good way to strengthen your position is to make it more difficult for competitors to invest in search and contextual linking in emulation of your own very sensible business model.
Attack their cash flow! As you know, this competitor's net cash comes principally from operating system and application business lines. What better measures are available to you than to create a vacuum in the paid office suite application business by accelerating OpenOffice's--and its excellent open XML file format's--path toward leading the office suite market and bringing an open file format to a full standard?
OASIS (the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) is the consortium that protects and controls the technical specifications of this interesting open XML file format which was originally developed by the engineers of OpenOffice/StarOffice. Now, this file format has been updated by the OASIS Open Office File Format Technical Committee ("the TC") and takes a new name, "OpenDocument." The format will be the native file format of OpenOffice2 (due out sometime in Spring 2005) and, likely, of other open-oriented office suites. You can sample OpenOffice's current and very similar implementation of its open XML file format by downloading OpenOffice 1.1.3 here.
I needn't relate to you the practical importance of an open standard office suite file format, except to openly reiterate that a text document existing in an open XML format like OpenDocument is searchable--the whole contents of that document--at the granular level of the words within the document (not just the meta information or limited number of tags or keywords someone enters about the document).
I urge you to consider leveraging the free resources available and trust you already have the motivation, the people and resources under your employ to create something durable and important for people all over the world. One way to move ahead is by scanning the works of the libraries of Stanford, Oxford, Harvard, the University of Michigan, the New York Public Library and others into the OASIS "OpenDocument" File Format of the OpenOffice desktop office suite. This will guarantee public access to the libraries' contents as well as indirectly promote Google's interests in search.
With sincere regard for the contributions you have already made,
Sam Hiser

Man on a Mission27 Jun, 2012 By: Cyrena Respini-Irwin
User Profile: Uriel Castillo isn't just working with CAD — he's making Fort Wayne a better place to live.
Uriel Castillo is a CADD technician III, working leader, in the City Utilities Engineering department in Fort Wayne, Indiana. His position encompasses a wide range of duties, but he always has the same goal in mind: transforming his city into a better home for its citizens.
Cadalyst: Tell us about your current job.
Castillo: Usually, especially during our busy summer construction season, the majority of my day consists of CAD work with our core software, Autodesk Civil 3D, or a supporting application, such as Autodesk Design Review or a Microsoft Office product. I often modify or create standard departmental water and sewer details to carry the design supplied by our engineers and designers into full-blown CAD plan drawings of a water or sewer project. Our department also handles the engineering needed for maintaining our city's water and sewer infrastructure, so I occasionally work on a project for the water filtration or waste control plant, or something such as a pump station.
Uriel Castillo, a CADD technician for the City of Fort Wayne, Indiana, is happy working behind the scenes to improve the city he calls home.
The last update to my job description gives me the ability to assist with project design, and also adds many CAD manager–like duties such as budgets; researching, obtaining, and maintaining CAD hardware, software, and supplies; distributing workloads; and establishing standards — tasks that historically have been handled by a CAD manager. These are all tasks that are done in the background, in tandem with everyday CAD production, yet are essential to keeping a CAD department running smoothly and efficiently.
How does working for a utility affect your designs and workflows?
Our workflows really aren't that different from those used as best practices by companies and private-sector entities. When they do differ, it's usually because there are outside entities or departments involved (such as a right-of-way or parks department), or projects may have to go through a certain municipal board for approval and review. We also have to coordinate with many other utility companies who have their own infrastructure within our city's roads and easements. And because we're ultimately working for the citizens of Fort Wayne, we always have to take into account how a design would affect anyone in and around our city and project area.
What do you enjoy most about your job?
The most rewarding thing is knowing that while not many people may remember my name after my career is over, I am doing my part to make our city a better place to live for our children and everyone else who calls it home. I like to think of myself as a public servant, and I try to do everything for the best interest of the people of our city.
I also really enjoy working with a team of talented engineers, designers, and other staff members on more than just CAD. I feel really blessed that I am given the opportunity to work with them on projects and standards, and provide input that will leave our department and our city in better shape for future generations.
What would you like to change?
Our standards and standard operating procedures — which we are currently in the process of updating and expanding. You would be surprised at the amount of time saved when everyone understands and follows procedures and standards that are clearly spelled out. Believe it or not, good ones create greater productivity, efficiency, and better work morale.
Describe some projects you especially enjoyed working on.
The CSO (combined sewer outflow) dewatering project consisted of installing a new pump, some piping, and all the controls in an existing pump station. All entities, including the pump and pipe clamps, were created from scratch utilizing the newer AutoCAD 3D solid editing tools and commands; we just had to try them out. (Remember the then-new Extrude Face command?)
The 3D models for this pump — shown at right with a float, pipes, and brackets — were created from scratch for a combined sewer outflow dewatering project.
Other challenging projects involve separating combined sewers into storm and sanitary pipe networks. With Autodesk's Civil 3D application and a good field survey, we can generate an accurate surface of the project's terrain, and an accurate representation of the pertinent existing underground utilities. This helps us with the layout and elevations of our proposed design.
Pipe network models can illustrate how underground utilities are positioned relative to each other (left) and relative to the street surface (right).
The 3D model is extremely handy in areas that are really busy, with lots of existing utilities installed and modified over the years. We had one project last year where, because we modeled all the existing and proposed sewer structures, the contractor said he had never before installed a custom structure that fit and went in so well.
Sometimes we get to use our software capabilities to do fun things with data, such as creating residual chlorine maps from data collected and exported to Excel spreadsheets. Because Civil 3D also has Map 3D, we have the capability to create map books and delve into GIS-type drawings and/or maps. I also really appreciate the ability to model existing conditions of our utilities and project sites in 3D. It enables us to assist our engineers and designers with different proposed design scenarios, and to catch otherwise unforeseen problems and conflicts early in the design process — hopefully saving our city, department, and citizens substantial amounts of money.
What drew you to CAD?
When I was in high school, I took a drafting class as an elective. The class consisted mainly of manual drafting; CAD and personal computers were just beginning to be seen in high school classes. (This is going to make me sound really old, but believe me, it wasn't that long ago.) Our class had just one computer, which ran AutoCAD release 12 or 13. At first, I wasn't interested in it. It seemed to be all Command line–driven; you had to know another language to do anything with it. I thought I would never be able to work that program.
One day, however, our teacher showed us a sample vector line drawing of a Space Shuttle. He demonstrated how you could zoom through the colorful drawing, and then he printed it on a fascinating x,y pen plotter. I was hooked — I needed to know more about this cool computer-aided program.
What do you anticipate for the future?
I believe that the next stage for CAD is going beyond 3D to what many of us now know as BIM (building information modeling). We don't currently use BIM internally in our department, but I expect we will once it becomes more prevalent, accepted, and standardized. Our City owns and maintains many buildings, and I believe that BIM could help us with their design and maintenance lifecycle.
Do you have any advice to share?
With all the combinations of commands and tools available, there are many ways to get the same end result in CAD; don't re-create the wheel. Use whatever process already exists, and set up industry-proven best practices in your workplace. Today's CAD programs allow not only for the ability to reuse objects and data, but also things such as setups and settings.
Also, the Internet offers a plethora of CAD resources that can make managing CAD a whole lot easier and more fun: forums, blogs, blocks, LISP examples, best-practice papers, training, videos, etc. When you're trying to do something in CAD, chances are that someone, somewhere, has already done it. Why not learn about the obstacles they encountered so that you can avoid them?
What are your interests outside of work?
Over the years, I've been interested in a variety of different activities, from working on vehicles to sports to gardening. While I still enjoy many of those things, I've grown to have more interest in the things that I feel really matter to me: my family, my friends, and my religion. I really enjoy spending time with my wife and three kids, as well as my church family. As a Christian, I believe that God has placed everyone on earth for a reason, and I'm trying to fulfill that as best as I can.

text: Spain's bankers to strike as job cuts loomAbout 20,000 layoffs planned in 2013By Jesús Aguado01/21/2013|hrreporter.com|Last Updated: 01/21/2013 MADRID (Reuters) — Workers at three of Spain's bailed-out banks will stage strikes in coming weeks as they fight mass layoffs, unions said on Monday, spreading industrial unrest to a sector where walkouts have so far been rare.Spain was forced to ask Europe for up to 100 billion euros ($132.9 billion) to help its weakest banks last year and four of the lenders it took over, including Bankia, have to cut thousands of jobs and shrink their balance sheets as a condition of their rescue.While the banks, crippled by a property bubble that burst five years ago, have hogged headlines, employees have so far mostly kept a low profile even as protests become a way of life elsewhere in Spain.But about 20,000 layoffs planned for 2013, almost 10 per cent of the total, could reduce the workforce to levels last seen in 1975, data from the unions showed — the year dictator General Francisco Franco died, marking the start of the country's transition to democracy.Alarmed at the scale of cuts, employees from across the industry will demonstrate on Jan. 23, while workers from Bankia, Banco de Valencia and NovaGalicia Banco will strike on Feb. 6 and hold partial strikes before then.Unions blasted the planned cutbacks, saying they were unaware that Brussels had set out conditions imposing specific numbers of job reductions."You can't threaten employees with redundancies that will be compensated with up to 20 days pay for every year worked, and then claim that these entities have a value... the viability (of the entities) is being put at risk," said Jose Maria Martinez, secretary general of the finance segment of the Comisiones Obreras union.More visibleRELATED ARTICLESNAIT squad wins HRC West competitionFinding talent, engagement top HR trends for 2019CPHR Canada, SHRM sign MRAEmployees at Bankia have already staged some small demonstrations in the past few weeks, gathering near the group's headquarters in Madrid for example, while workers at other smaller banks such as Caja 3, now owned by Ibercaja, began industrial action in December with 15-minute work breaks.But the protests are snowballing and becoming more visible, as bankers take to the street and join judges, doctors, bus drivers and garbage workers as strikes become almost a daily occurrence across recession-bound Spain.Bankia, which took 18 billion euros ($23 billion) in European aid and had to be rescued by the Spanish government in 2012 only one year after it listed on the stock market, is making the biggest cuts, of around 6,000 jobs, as it shuts about 1,000 branches.Not all of the positions will be lost through sackings, however, as the lender is in the midst of several disposals and is looking to sell its business in Miami for instance.As well as losing their jobs, workers at the likes of Bankia are being asked to take 40 to 50 per cent paycuts and many will see pension contributions halted for several years.Many of Bankia's more than 20,000 employees also bought shares in its listing in June 2011 and face seeing their savings practically wiped out — as do the retail clients to whom they sold stock — when the bank launches a share issue later this quarter.The deadline for negotiations between unions and Bankia is Feb 9.Spain's banks have shed more than 30,000 jobs since the start of the global financial crisis in 2007, data from the Comisiones Obreras union showed. With about 20,000 more set to be axed in 2013, the banking workforce could drop to 218,500 by year end. Add Comment * Title * Name * Email Anonymous * Comment

All In One Calendar By Timely
How to fix positioning problem of event pop up trigger bar of All In One Calendar By Timely
Applies to plugin version: 1.9
Add the following at the end of child theme's
style.css (WP dashboard -> Appearance -> Editor):
a.ai1ec-popup-trigger { top: 0 !important; } .timely .hide.ai1ec-popup + a.ai1ec-popup-trigger { padding-top: 1em; }
Forum topic: http://ithemes.com/forum/topic/38506-all-in-one-calendar-by-timely-builder-conflict/
Easy Custom Content Types
Easy Content Types, a commercial plugin provides an extremely easy to use and intuitive interface for creating custom post types, taxonomies, and meta boxes.
Here are some general tips on using Easy Custom Content Types for WordPress in Builder.
1. Do not use
Post name permalink structure.
Day and name works fine.
2. Go to plugin's settings and tick the first two under "Post Type Templates". You might also want to tick the option under "Taxonomy Templates" if you plan on using custom taxonomy archives.
3. Create your Post Types.
The URL of archive listing of entries from a CPT is: http://yoursite.com/cptslug
Ex.: http://localhost/builder/testimonials/
The URL of single CPT entry is: http://yoursite.com/cptslug/entrytitle
Ex.: http://localhost/builder/testimonials/awesome-service/
4. Check child theme directory using a FTP client or cPanel file manager. If single-<cpt>.php has not been automatically created, copy/upload single.php from parent Builder into the child theme and rename it as single-<cpt>.php.
5. Create any necessary Meta Boxes and Meta Fields.
6. To display Meta Field in template files like single-<cpt>.php, use
<?php global $post; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'ecpt_clienturl', true); ?>
In the above replace "ecpt_clienturl" with the name of your field.
7. To display a Meta Field in LoopBuddy layout, use "Custom Field" tag and enter the field name in "Meta Key" text input.
8. If comments area is not appearing in single CPT entry pages on the site, go to My Theme -> Settings -> Comments. Uncheck the CPT, save settings, re-check it and save settings.
The Events Calendar
The Events Calendar plugin enables you to rapidly create and manage events. Features include Google Maps integration as well as default templates such as a calendar grid and event list, widget and so much more.
To assign a layout to all pages generated by this plugin, ex.:
http://yoursite.com/events/ add the following in child theme's functions.php before closing PHP tag (if present):
function set_custom_layout( $layout_id ) { if ( tribe_is_month() || tribe_is_upcoming() || tribe_is_past() ) return '4f5363f3cb8e1'; return $layout_id; } add_filter( 'builder_filter_current_layout', 'set_custom_layout' );
In the above replace
4f5363f3cb8e1 with the ID of your desired layout.
Source: http://tri.be/tutorial-integrating-the-events-calendar-w-genesis/
It is also possible to set different layouts to different views like
- main calendar page
- calendar category pages
- single events
- single event days
- single venues
- events or venue pages
- events list page
by adding more functions similar to the one above.
The needed if conditionals can be obtained from the source linked above.
Global Content Blocks
Using a Shortcode in HTML Module for Custom Header
A user in the forum asked the following:
On one of my customer sites (a Builder site), we have many similar, but slightly different layouts. On all of them, we want the same custom header (in a Custom HTML module). I'd like to maintain the HTML for that custom header in one place so that I don't have to copy and paste the header code into each layout each time I want to make a change.
One of the ways this can be done is by creating a shortcode having the HTML code needed to display the custom header and place this shortcode in HTML module of all the layouts in use. The advantage of doing so is that should you decide later on to make any changes in the HTML, it has to be done only in one place.
1. Install and activate Global Content Blocks plugin.
2. Go to Settings -> Global Content Blocks -> Add a New Content Block.
Enter a Name. This is only for your reference and is not used while executing the shortcode.
In the Content editor, enter the HTML code needed to display your custom header image.

Click Save.
Note the generated shortcode which will be in the form of
[contentblock id=1]
Now add a HTML module wherever you want to the custom header image to appear and paste the shortcode. Save the module and layout.
Output on the webpage:
Depending on the active theme, there could be padding around the image which can be gotten rid of by using CSS like so:
.builder-module-1 .builder-module-element { padding: 0; } .builder-module-1 img { vertical-align: top; }
to have:
As you may probably be thinking, the output can simply be achieved by using a Image module but then it will not have the advantage of "update in one place – change everywhere".
Instead of using the plugin, we can write code similar to following in child theme's
functions.php to create shortcode and use it as above.
//logo in header add_shortcode('headercontent','getlogo'); function getlogo() { echo '
'; }
In the above example, shortcode to be used would be
Thanks to Valerie Cudnik for providing the above code here.
Gravity Forms
To ensure that Gravity Forms plugin's styling gets applied in Builder (or any other WordPress theme), ensure that "Output CSS" is set to Yes in the plugin's settings.
Source: http://ithemes.com/forum/index.php?/topic/12965-builder-gravity-forms-css-conflict-for-validation-messages/
How to embed a Gravity Forms form at the bottom of all single posts
1. Go to Forms -> Forms in WP dashboard. Hover mouse on the title of form that you wish to embed and note the number at the end of URL in browser status bar. That would be the form's ID.
2. Edit child theme's
single.php. If the child theme does not have this, copy it from parent Builder directory into the child theme directory.
<?php comments_template(); // include comments template ?>
<?php gravity_form(2, true, false, false, '', false); ?>
In the above change
2 to the ID of form you wish to embed.
Source: http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Embedding_A_Form
3. Add the following at the end of child theme's style.css (WP dashboard -> Appearance -> Editor):
#gform_wrapper_2 { margin-top: 4em; }
In the above change
2 to the ID of form that's embedded.
If you would like to use Jetpack's Sharing Buttons in Widget Content widgets, go to
- Settings -> Sharing. Tick
Widget Contentunder "Show buttons on".
- My Theme -> Settings -> Widget Content. Select "Use the the_content filter to format Widget Content entries."
Sample screenshot:
Sample scenario:
1) At WP Dashboard -> Settings -> Sharing,
a) Few services have been enabled by dragging them under "Enabled Services" area.
Show buttons on is ticked for "Front Page, Archive Pages, and Search Results".
2) Active theme: Builder Child Theme - Acute Purple - 1.1.0
3) 'Teasers Layout - Image Left' Builder extension is applied to the Posts page with Read More set to appear for all excerpts.
To prevent automatic placement of Jetpack's Share buttons and place them manually, follow this:
1. Add the following at end of child theme's
// Remove automatically-inserted Jetpack's share buttons function jptweak_remove_share() { //remove_filter( 'the_content', 'sharing_display',19 ); remove_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'sharing_display',19 ); } add_action( 'loop_end', 'jptweak_remove_share' );
Source: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/share-buttons-position-above-other-plugins#post-3686704
2. Wherever you would like to place the Jetpack's Share buttons, edit the appropriate template file and paste the following:
<?php if (function_exists('sharing_display')) echo sharing_display(); ?>
In our sample scenario, the file would be wp-content/themes/BuilderChild-Acute-Purple/extensions/post-teasers-left/functions.php and the above code would be placed below
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="more-link">Read More →

That's it.
Jetpack Comments
Sample screenshot:
- Edit
comments.phpin active theme (should be a child theme of Builder). If the file is not present, copy it from parent Builder directory into the child theme directory and edit it.
Delete code similar to

<?php comment_form_title( __( 'Leave a Reply', 'it-l10n-BuilderChild-Ionic' ), __( 'Leave a Reply to %s', 'it-l10n-BuilderChild-Ionic' ) ); ?>

 <?php cancel_comment_reply_link(); ?>

and replace
<form action="<?php echo site_url( '/wp-comments-post.php' ); ?>" method="post" id="commentform"> <?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>
<?php printf( __( 'Logged in as %2$s. Log out?', 'it-l10n-BuilderChild-Ionic' ), admin_url( 'profile.php' ), $user_identity, $logout_url ); ?>
 <?php else : ?>
 <input type="text" name="author" id="author" value="<?php echo esc_attr( $commenter['comment_author'] ); ?>" size="22"<?php echo $aria_req; ?> /> <?php _e( 'Name', 'it-l10n-BuilderChild-Ionic' ); ?> <?php if ( $req ) _e( "(required)", 'it-l10n-BuilderChild-Ionic' ); ?>

 <input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="<?php echo esc_attr( $commenter['comment_author_email'] ); ?>" size="22"<?php echo $aria_req; ?> /> <?php _e( 'Mail (will not be published)', 'it-l10n-BuilderChild-Ionic' ); ?> <?php if ( $req ) _e( "(required)", 'it-l10n-BuilderChild-Ionic' ); ?>

 <input type="text" name="url" id="url" value="<?php echo esc_attr( $commenter['comment_author_url'] ); ?>" size="22" /> <?php _e( 'Website', 'it-l10n-BuilderChild-Ionic' ); ?>
 <?php endif; ?>
<textarea name="comment" id="comment" cols="45" rows="10"></textarea>

 <input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" value="<?php _e( 'Submit Comment →', 'it-l10n-BuilderChild-Ionic' ); ?>" /> <?php comment_id_fields(); ?>
 <?php do_action( 'comment_form', $post->ID ); ?> </form>
<?php comment_form(); ?>
Infinite Scroll
Jetpack's Infinite Scroll can either enabled by adding code in child theme's functions.php or simply by just using a plugin.
Details: http://ithemes.com/2012/12/03/builder-jetpack-infinite-scroll/
Beginning Builder 4.0.15, Jetpack's Carousel module works fine in iThemes Builder.
Tiled Galleries
JetPack's Tiled Galleries module works in iThemes Builder (v4.0.15 and above) by using a workaround.
Add the following in child theme's functions.php file (after the
<?php line):
function custom_disable_builder_gallery() { remove_filter( 'post_gallery', 'builder_custom_post_gallery', 10 ); } add_action( 'builder_theme_features_loaded', 'custom_disable_builder_gallery' ); $content_width = 604;
Note that the
$content_width variable has to be set to a value that refers to the pixel width of the area displaying the gallery. The 604 number refers to the total pixel width area of the Default child theme's Content Module without any Layout modifications (960 pixel wide Layout with a 320 pixel wide sidebar). Until a better solution can be found, this variable will have to be manually adjusted so that the gallery properly fills the content area. Fortunately, if you are running a responsive Builder child theme, you can set this value to be larger than required, and it will automatically shrink down (this may work in some non-responsive child themes as well, the results vary).
$content_width value to the width of actual content portion (.builder-module-content .builder-module-element) that is available after any padding. Firebug makes it easy to find this.
Source: Builder 4.0.15 release notes.
Limitation: When the above code is used, output of standard gallery shortcode, for example,
[gallery ids="1072,1070,1062,1050"] will be affected. This is a known issue for the time being.
jQuery Mega Menu in Builder
jQuery Drop Down Mega Menu Widget plugin will allow you to quickly and easily create drop down mega menus from any WordPress custom menu. It has 8 built-in skins (styles).
For the purpose of this tutorial, let's add a 1-column widget bar module in our layout. Next go to Appearance -> Widgets and drag a jQuery Mega Menu widget into the widget area.
When we check the site (having BuilderChild-Default as the active theme), the sub menus will not appear by default.
and depending on the child theme being used, there could be padding around the widget.
To remove unwanted spacing around widget, the following has been added at the end of child theme's style.css:
#dc_jqmegamenu_widget-3 { padding: 0; /* To remove the padding around widget - needed only in some child themes */ } #builder-module-4e2cfbc65ee6f .builder-module-sidebar { padding-top: 0; /* To remove the top padding for the sidebar - needed only in some child themes */ padding-bottom: 0; /* To remove the bottom padding for the sidebar - needed only in some child themes */ }
To make the submenus appear, we need to:
- Set position of the widget as absolute and specify its width.
- Set the height for one of widget's parent div.
So the final CSS would be:
#dc_jqmegamenu_widget-3 { padding: 0; /* To remove the padding around widget - needed only in some child themes */ position: absolute; width: 1000px; /* Set this to width of layout in the case of 1-column widget bar module or whatever is the width of sidebar in which this widget is present */ } #builder-module-4e2cfbc65ee6f .builder-module-sidebar { padding-top: 0; /* To remove the top padding for the sidebar - needed only in some child themes */ padding-bottom: 0; /* To remove the bottom padding for the sidebar - needed only in some child themes */ height: 40px; /* This value can be obtained by going to Computed tab in Firebug when this div is selected. See Screenshot A below. */ }
In the above the ID of widget and layout must be changed to those on your site.
Screenshot A:
That's it!
Note: Instead of setting position of widget as absolute, we can set absolute position for either #menu-menu-1 or #dc_jqmegamenu_widget-3-item above it or #dc_jqmegamenu_widget-3. Remember to set the height for the chosen element's parent.
This principle also applies when using similar dropdown menu plugins like Pixopoint. See # 4 at http://ithemes.com/forum/index.php?/topic/10927-help-with-custom-navigation/#p52256
LayerSlider WP
To fix LayerSlider from being cut off at the bottom, use the following sample CSS:
#builder-module-512b538d8a958-outer-wrapper, #builder-module-512b538d8a958, #builder-module-512b538d8a958 .widget-wrapper { overflow: visible !important; } .ls-thumbnail-slide img { height: 100% !important; }
In the above replace
builder-module-512b538d8a958 with the ID of module (typically, a widget bar) in which LayerSlider is placed.
Sexy Bookmarks
How to hide the display of Sexy Bookmarks in widget content
Add the following at the end of your theme's style.css:
.widget-content .shr-bookmarks { display: none !important; }
Forum thread: http://ithemes.com/forum/index.php?/topic/11466-sexy-bookmarks-and-builder/
Update: One of our users reported:
there is extra padding under each widget content area as though it's making room for SB but not displaying it
The solution is to change in Sexy Bookmarks options: "animate-expand multi-lined bookmarks" to NO
Source: http://ithemes.com/forum/index.php?/topic/14363-deleting-social-sharing-icons-from-widget-content-areas/#p66932
Update (January 18, 2012): Here is our developer's explanation on the cause of this problem. It's not just Sexy Bookmarks, but other plugins like Yet Another Related Posts Plugin also does this.
Shopp is an e-commerce plugin that adds a feature-rich online store to your WordPress-powered website or blog.
Shopp works out of the box in Builder without the need to edit any template files.
The steps below outline how Shopp can be set up in Builder:
1. After Shopp has been installed and activated, it will create four placeholder pages.
Each of these pages include Shopp-specific shortcodes that are replaced with dynamic content generated by Shopp.
2. Go to Shopp -> Settings, Continue to Shopp Setup...
Go through the various settings and fill them out. Refer to links at the bottom of this page for details on these settings.
3. Presentation Settings:
Make sure you have saved the settings that have been entered in the previous options thus far, if any, before proceeding further.
a) Click on Use Custom Templates button.
b) Create a directory in your active theme (Builder child theme) named shopp. You can either use a FTP client or your hosting cPanel file manager for this.
c) Reload the Presentation Settings in the WordPress/Shopp admin and click Install Theme Templates button.
At this point, Shopp will make a copy of the built-in default templates into the newly created shopp directory within your active theme.
d) Tick Enable theme templates and save changes.
4. Now you are ready to add products. Go to Shopp -> Products. Click Add New. Enter the details and save the product.
Note: After a product image has been added, if its thumbnail does not appear i.e., if it looks like:
go to Shopp -> Settings -> System and uncheck Enable Flash-based uploading next to Upload System. Save changes.
You will have to edit the products and add images again.

In this tutorial, we are going to use iThemes Slideshow plugin to set up a responsive full width slideshow in Builder.
1. Install and activate Slideshow plugin. Add a new group named say,
Homepage Slider. Edit the group and set dimensions to 1500px by 430px.
Note that these are just recommended dimensions and are not set in stone and you are free to experiment and change them as you see them fit for your needs.
Render Mode, select
Responsive. Save settings.
Upload the images you wish to appear in the slide group.
2. Add the following in child theme's
functions.php before closing PHP tag (if any):
add_theme_support( 'builder-full-width-modules' ); if ( ! function_exists( 'my_builder_loaded' ) ) { function my_builder_loaded() { builder_register_module_style( 'widget-bar', 'Full Width Slider', 'widget-bar-full-width-slider' ); } add_action( 'it_libraries_loaded', 'my_builder_loaded' ); }
Note: If the first line in above, i.e., for adding full width modules support is already present, do not add it again.
3. Edit your layout and add a Widget Bar module with 1 column wherever you want the Slideshow to appear.
Full Width Slider from Style dropdown.
You might want to name the module
Slider for easy identification.
4. Go to Appearance -> Widgets page for this layout and drag iThemes Slideshow widget into the Widget bar module's sidebar and ensure that your full width slider group is the selected one.
5. Add the following at the end of child theme's
style.css (WP dashboard -> Appearance -> Editor):
/* For full width slideshow */ .widget-bar-full-width-slider-background-wrapper { padding: 0; margin-bottom: 0; } .widget-bar-full-width-slider-outer-wrapper { max-width: 100% !important; }
6. Add the following in
style-mobile.css (create this file if it is not existing):
/* For full width slideshow */ #pb_slideshow_rslider-1 .nivo-prevNav { margin-left: 0 !important; } #pb_slideshow_rslider-1 .nivo-nextNav { margin-right: 0 !important; }
7. Create a new file named
style-responsive.css in the child theme and paste the following in it:
/* For full width slideshow */ .widget-bar-full-width-slider-background-wrapper { padding: 0; }
Uber Menu
How to Set Up a Vertical Custom Menu in a Widget using Uber Menu in iThemes Builder
1. Install and activate Uber Menu.
2. Go to Appearance -> UberMenu.
Set Orientation to Vertical. There is no need to enter a value for
Vertical Mega Submenu Width (even if entered, it doesn't take effect).
b) Theme Integration -> Easy Integration -> ON.
3. Go to Appearance -> Menus.
a) Create a custom menu that you would like to show vertically in a widget.
b) Tick
UberMenu under 'Activate Uber Menu Locations'. Select your desired menu in 'Theme Locations'.
4. At Appearance -> Widgets, drag a text widget in whichever sidebar you would like to show the vertical menu and paste:
Refresh your site and adjust the width of sidebar if necessary.
5. [Optional] To improve the appearance of the menu, add the following at the end of child theme's style.css (WP dashboard -> Appearance -> Editor):
#megaMenu ul.megaMenu { width: 100%; } #megaMenu ul li.ss-nav-menu-mega ul li.ss-nav-menu-item-depth-1 { padding: 0px 27px !important; } #megaMenu ul.megaMenu li li li ul { margin-left: 1em; } /* if the widget is placed in content module's sidebar and if sub menu appears to be cut off */ .builder-module-content .builder-module-sidebar-outer-wrapper { overflow: visible !important; }
How to Assign a Layout to the Main Shop page
Add the following at the end of child theme's
functions.php (before closing PHP, if any):
// ================================================= // = Assign a layout to WooCommerce main shop page = // ================================================= function custom_filter_shop_layout( $layout_id ) { if ( is_shop() ) return '5088b68b45105'; return $layout_id; } add_filter( 'builder_filter_current_layout', 'custom_filter_shop_layout' );
5088b68b45105 in the above to ID of layout that you wish to assign to the shop page.
To find the ID for a Layout, go to the Layouts listing, copy the edit link for the desired Layout, paste the link somewhere, and grab the text after the last equal sign. For example, consider the following link:
The Layout's ID for the above is
Source: http://docs.woothemes.com/document/conditional-tags/
How to Assign a Layout to a single Product page
Following the same method as above, add the following at the end of child theme's
functions.php (before closing PHP, if any):
// =============================================== // = Assign a layout to WooCommerce product page = // =============================================== function custom_filter_product_layout( $layout_id ) { if ( is_singular( 'product' ) ) return '5088b68b45105'; return $layout_id; } add_filter( 'builder_filter_current_layout', 'custom_filter_product_layout' );
How to Assign a Layout to all Woocommerce pages
// ============================================ // = Assign a layout to all WooCommerce pages = // ============================================ function custom_filter_all_shop_layouts( $layout_id ) { if ( is_shop() || is_singular( 'product' ) || is_tax( 'product_cat' )) return '5088b68b45105'; return $layout_id; } add_filter( 'builder_filter_current_layout', 'custom_filter_all_shop_layouts' );
How to Change the Number of Products Per Row and Number of Products Per Page
By default, 4 products per row and per page are visible in WooCommerce shop page.
If you would like to show more number of products per page, add the following in child theme's
functions.php (before closing PHP tag, if any):
// Display 24 products per page. add_filter( 'loop_shop_per_page', create_function( '$cols', 'return 24;' ), 20 );
In the above change 24 to number of products you would like per page.
Source: http://docs.woothemes.com/document/change-number-of-products-displayed-per-page/
To change the number of products shown per row, add the following in child theme's
functions.php (before closing PHP tag, if any):
// Change number or products per row to 5 add_filter('loop_shop_columns', 'loop_columns'); if (!function_exists('loop_columns')) { function loop_columns() { return 5; // 5 products per row } }
Source: http://docs.woothemes.com/document/change-number-of-products-per-row/#customtheme
That should result in something like
Since the width of each product is set to be 22.05% via CSS, the last 2 products fall down as there is not enough space for them to fit in a single row.
The solution is to add the following at the end of child theme's
style.css (WP dashboard -> Appearance -> Editor):
.woocommerce ul.products li.product, .woocommerce-page ul.products li.product { width: 16% !important; }
You will need to adjust the number 16 in the above to whatever is required so all the products get fit on a single line.
Item 3
Yoast Breadcrumbs
How to implement in Builder
Yoast Breadcrumbs on WordPress.org
Determine where you want the breadcrumbs to appear and edit the appropriate template file(s) in child theme. Use this image as a reference. If a particular file is not present in the child theme directory, copy it from parent Builder directory.
Generally speaking, these are the files that you will be modifying: page.php (for static Pages), single.php (for single post pages), index.php (for Posts page) and archive.php (for category pages).
Let's consider Kepler child theme as an example and that we want to add breadcrumbs to all Pages.
Edit page.php.
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) { yoast_breadcrumb('
','
'); } ?>
Add the following at the end of child theme's style.css (WP dashboard -> Appearance -> Editor):
#breadcrumbs { color: #D0ECF3; margin-top: 0; } #breadcrumbs a { color: #FFFFFF; }
Note: The above CSS code might have to be adjusted depending on the child theme.
This should result in

Updates follow story
Law enforcement investigators called for photos in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing, in the hopes that evidence pointing to the perpetrators was recorded on the thousands of cell phones carried by people around the scene Monday.
Some of those images began to circulate online, including several showing a young man in a blue track jacket, carrying a duffle bag, and another young man in a white hat with a backpack.
The New York Post had several major reporting stumbles, insisting that authorities had a suspect -- a Saudi national -- "under guard" at a hospital, and that 12 people had been killed.
UPDATE: Reports of at least 12 dead, dozens more injured in Boston Marathon explosions nyp.st/ZlWY9t— New York Post (@nypost) April 15, 2013
Thursday's cover was another, with an image of two young men under the headline: "Feds seek these two pictured at Boston Marathon."
But those two men were quickly identified by the amateur sleuths over at Reddit, who quickly located the man in the blue track suit as a high school track athlete, and both were spotted after the blast with their bags.
He has since changed his name on Facebook, but "blue tracksuit guy" is a Moroccan-American who plays soccer and works at Subway.
"Blue tracksuit guy" said on Facebook he was reaching out to the FBI to affirm his innocence.
CBS's John Miller confirmed the two men were not the suspects sought by authorities.
Redditors have made it a mission to pool their sleuthing skills to identify the innocent among the photos circulating of people with black bags at the marathon.
So far, they have "cleared" include these two men, likely some kind of law enforcement, this guy, and this guy.
Update: 3 p.m.
Salah Barhoun, 17, one of the teens on the cover of the Post, spoke to ABC News in an attempt to clear his name.
Bahoun, said he had wanted to run the race, but when he was unable, decided to come watch.
Bahoun's brother, who wished not to be identified, told ABC their mother was "sick and upset" over the confusion.
"It made her think he had done something wrong," the teen's younger brother said. "My brother is not the bomber."
Update 2: 4:20 p.m.
The Post has released a follow-up story Thursday afternoon, although it made no apology for featuring Bahoun and his friend on the paper's cover.
"Authorities determined neither had any information or role in Monday's attacks at the Boston Marathon," the story said.
The photo was one of many circulated among law enforcement officials as the investigation to find the bombing perpetrators gets underway.
The Post said its sources "have now cleared the two men."

I've spent the last couple days googling the daylights out of this and trying to search all these messages. Full update of bios, drivers, etc.
Windows 7 64 bit.
When I switch screen orientation by swiveling the LCD I get this odd questionmark/pen on the screen:
My pen works in landscape mode but the navigation for the pen seems to stay in landscape mode, meaning if I move the pen up, it actually goes to the right. If I move it down it moves left or right. If I try to calibrate the pen the touch screen doesn't register the pen touching it.
This has been driving me buggy, any help much appreciated.
I experience a similar problem - X and Y axes reversed when I go into portrait mode. Pen button no longer works (to right click). The reversal of the axes goes away in landscape mode, but not the non-fuctioning pen button. Calibration of the pen doesn't seem to work in either mode.
I suspect this has something to do with a recent driver update, but who knows. All I know is that I need my tablet for work and am wasting time dealing with crap like this, on top of the idiotic drivers they released that disabled the touchpad and pointer. Extremely frustrating.

Most Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum number of grafts that can be extracted in one session ?The maximum number of grafts that may be extracted from the donor in one session depends on several factors: donor capacity, calculated density, density, caliber and number of hairs per follicle. These factors are calculated from all parts of the donor area (parietal, temporal and occipital) and are combined in what I call Coverage Value. Other factors must also be taken into consideration such as DUPA, miniaturization and future hair loss in the donor area. (Most people experience up to 25% progressive hair loss over their lifetime, therefore the idea that there is a "safe donor area†is a misconception). All these factors must be considered in order to maximize density and homogenization. It is my professional opinion that the average donor capacity has risen to from 6,000-10,000 grafts. This is due to improved techniques and instrumentation as well as expertise on the part of the hair surgeon who is well trained and experienced in FUE. I began practicing the FUE technique using the manual punch (which I still use exclusively) in 2004 and have since that time, performed surgery in over 1000 cases with over 5000 grafts in a single session. (A session constitutes 2 days of surgery with this graft number). The maximum number of grafts that I have been able to extract in a single session is 6,500, however, I have performed surgery on 12 patients with a 10,000-graft extraction over several sessions. Earlier on, from 2000-2007 I performed the FUT technique as well as the FUE technique and at that time, I accepted the common opinion that the regrowth rate using FUT was greater than that of FUE. Since 2007, I have determined that this to be untrue. I have witnessed amazing growth rates in FUE in my own practice that equal and surpass those of FUT. The key is the experience of the FUE surgeon.
How long does hair transplant last? It is of great importance to remember that there is no standard, nor is there a guaranteed satisfactory result for everyone in all aesthetic surgeries. This is true over the entire lifespan. Hair transplantation is mostly about the art of illusion. The average density of the frontal area in someone with no hair loss is a minimum of 70 follicular units per cm2, however, a high density looking hair transplant is often a result achieved with 50 follicular units per cm2. With 50 cm2, it is certainly possible to achieve the appearance of normal density when a proper surgical plan and graft ion is implemented. Furthermore, it is of the utmost importance to bare in mind that the idea of a "safe donor†area is deceptive. One can experience a 10-15% loss of the donor hair over a lifetime as well. Likewise, this loss may affect the transplanted hair and should be considered a natural phenomenon. In my professional opinion, a successful hair transplantation lasts for at least 10 years.
What is shedding (shock loss) after surgery?Some shedding (effluvium) after hair transplantation is a relatively common occurrence. It is noticeable beginning from the week following the surgery, and can continue for up to six weeks. Some patients do not shed, and the transplanted hair continues to grow. In general, those patients who have experienced more miniaturization and more rapid hair loss will most likely experience shedding from the surgery. For the majority of patients, it is a minor issue and should not be the cause for concern.
When is the appropriate time to have hair transplantation surgery?Some patients present themselves for surgery with very early hair loss and a significant amount of miniaturization. In a situation such as this, the better solution is to treat the condition with medication and to wait until a transplant is necessary. However, with recent improvements, there is no need to wait until hair loss has progressed to such an advanced degree that it causes emotional distress and anxiety.
Is it safe to use?It was approved by the FDA and is indicated for the treatment of male pattern hair loss (MPB). Since 5 mg is frequently used in the treatment of prostate diseases as well, extensive clinical studies were performed in order to address the efficiency and the side effects of the drug. As with all drugs, potential side effects exist and this is true with it as well. Given the effectiveness of the drug on both the original and the transplanted hair, the minor risk of potential side effects should not serve as an obstacle for the usage of the drug.
Why manual FUE?We continue to closely monitor the development and advancement of new technology that can help to improve our results. We are convinced that the FUE process is the most effective technique that has been developed until now. With manual FUE, we are able to control the procedure during its execution. We are also able to maintain control of the adjacent area, so that we can preserve and use the donor area as effectively as possible. The examination of each graft for its quality prior to extracting another is possible with FUE and every moment of the procedure can be adjusted and changed as it is deemed necessary. In implementing this technique, every piece of equipment used is sterilized.
What is the best method of harvesting hair, FUE or the motorized technique?Let me begin my response by saying that there is no single technique or device that stands out as being the absolute best when in comes to hair restoration, just as there is no single surgeon that is the best in the world. Each surgeon develops his/her skill using his/her instruments of choice for the best possible surgical outcome. Not that long ago, I collaborated with Hacettepe Medical University in Turkey in a study using an electron microscope to determine the damage caused to graft quality using high rpm's (30,000) with a motorized system. The results of the study showed that there was no real difference in graft quality between grafts extracted through a motorized system and those of a manual punch. Though the findings of the study showed no real difference in graft quality between the two techniques, I believe that the manual punch creates less damage to the donor area, thereby increasing the donor capacity in a positive way. In my own personal practice, I have chosen to use the manual punch combined with a technique that I developed, the DES or Sequential Method. Two of the state-of-the-art concepts in FUE are: 1) how to utilize the donor area in an efficient and effective way, and 2) how to create the best overall homogenization that allows for a natural look. Essentially, as FUE hair restoration specialists, we have solved the problems surrounding regrowth, density and a natural appearance. However, we are still facing some problems when it comes to donor capacity, especially in patients characterized as Norwood 5-6.
Smoking and hair transplant?It is believed that smoking affects the proper amount of blood flow to the transplanted grafts. Therefore, patients are recommended to avoid smoking or to limit smoking prior to the surgery, and particularly one week after the procedure. During the period immediately following surgery, graft re-vascularization occurs creating an ideal environment for the grafts to survive and grow as well as receive nutrients by diffusion. Consequently, avoidance of smoking during this period is of great importance to ensure an adequate supply of oxygen and nutrients to the transplanted grafts.
