when I use dynamic url for several product ex in thee category-list.html there are lots of products with
href="ajax/product.html" data-target="#productSetailsModalAjax"
when I use dynamic url for each product say href="ajax/product.html?p=x"
I dicovered that the modal will load the external page once and all other product will also load the same page the first to be clicked loaded, I cannot figure out how to fix this.
i also discovered tht this js file is missing
<script type="text/javascript" src="assets/js/product-details.js"></script>
HINT: what I mean by "all other product will also load the same page" if you have two products a and b if you click on b first, it will load the modal for the b product url and if you later click on a it will load the same data loaded before for b.
I got your point. Just use this script into script.js after // Modal Event
$('#productSetailsModalAjax').on('shown.bs.modal', function () {
Everything else remain same. I had same issue with some other clients its works for them.
I use bootstrap remote modal funtion. No additional script. You can find all details about remote modal here - http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#modals
But I recommend to use jQuery.load function for advance usages.
And yes i forgot to remove assets/js/product-details.js . You can remove this script whenever you find. No problem with that.
Please let me know if you need any further help. [email protected]
U said I have to increase the header nav size. Could you help me with the classes? I sent my request on Octuber 10th!
Yes I remember, some I missed that email. Sorry about that.
Please send me the email again I will take care about that tomorrow. No problem.

very nice, Im using it right now and i have managed to change some settings but can not see hove to make filtering products. I have read docs and find some links you suggested but did not find any working demo to see how to do it. Im sure it my fault but is there any chance to show how to do?
What i need is simple:
for example category 2 page
there are a lots of products but i need filtering them by subcategories with checkbox or radiobutton its does not matter.
if i check a box it shoud show just the proper products
I have a deadline so please help
Sorry about delay.
Our filter option is static. It doesn't work until you make it functional.
If you are planning to make a static website then i will suggest you to use http://isotope.metafizzy.co/ filter or other jquery plugins. If you need multiple attributes/option for filter then you have to use some advance jquery scripts.
Please email me [email protected] for more conversations.
I have many product and now the footer start in the middle of this list not at the end.
Could be simple solution i guess. There is no limit in product List.
And footer should be at the bottom of the page.
But i am not 100% clear about your problem. Please elaborate bit more and send it to my email.
If necessary, attach your screenshot with your email.
Thanks :)

im intereseted in purchasing the theme. But the description says you dont use SASS or LESS. So the styling is static css?
Even I have the same query... need to know asap...
Sorry about delay.
At the beginning we didn't use less or sass. So we don't have style.less for style.css. But after some update (after v1.3) i start using less for new pages like home page v7, product-details-5.html+ and other pages. All files are separately available in less folder. As an example you can edit product-details-5.less and compiled to assets/css/product-details-5.css and this css file is already added into product-details-5.html. You can generate color theme using skin.less.
This is a big projects around 80+ pages so i did't take risk to convert all css into less.
But in future i will try to make it fill less compatible. :)

I'm using your template I bought already, but I face a problem with the mega menu: in the "Shop" dropdown menu, I added categories with pictures. So, it's a quite long menu. It looks nice on mobile, I can scroll down til the bottom of the menu. But on desktop, the bottom of the menu is trunked to the height of the screen. I mean, I can't scroll down, height is limited to screen's height.
Is it possible to fix that?
Thank you for help!

I'm using your template I bought already, but I face a problem with the category menu.(TSHOP : category2.html).
In the Explorer browser, some list of products appears to be moved back. (there is a blank space).
I checked it, Original source have the same symptoms.
I want to send a picture for an accurate understanding.
Please let me know how.
I'm having trouble when I compress css files into one file in root folder. And the styles are not applied well. When I deactivate compression, I find that less files are loaded but they are not loaded when compressing is active.
Where are less files loaded?
The problem was not from theme and it was from my minifying system.
Sorry i didn't get your request. Do you want to use separate product details modal for different products ?
Please send me details to my email [email protected]
How can I reload the quick view ajax/products.html after I click the quickView button? I tried to make it dynamic, but I keep the same images as I first time clicked?
I have just replied to your email. Please check :)
Best Wishes,
It's me again, I have a problem about pace.js. I know it could be issues from something else but the progress bar shows it take a long time to load the page. Sometime the progress bar run backward( from right to left). And the body class always be in pace-running, need 1 or 2 minutes to be pace-done. At this moment, the product quick view ajax will not work. There is light box shows up but no product detail page.
Could you show me how to fix it?
Best Wishes,
I think the problem is website loading, not pace.js plugin.
I described in the details by email. Please check your email.

The excitement for Duck fans is rising by the hour, as they get ready to welcome one of the biggest non-conference regular season games in Duck history! It is the first Top-10 match-up of the college football season, and will have an immediate impact on the inaugural College Football Playoff picture.
Both Oregon and Michigan State are appearing regularly in analysts' playoff predictions; the winner will be in the driver's seat for a spot in the playoffs, and the loser will have a tough time climbing back into the vehicle. But to better understand the game, a closer look at the Spartans is required.
Michigan State is a run-first team with a defense that is suffocating — similar to Stanford, whom they beat in the 2014 Rose Bowl. Offensively, despite the fact that their opponents always gear up to stop the run, the Spartans still find success due to their ability to be versatile in their formations. For example, we see how MSU runs a halfback draw against Michigan on 1st-and-10 (below). The goal of this play is to gain a solid 4-6 yards so that no matter the result of the second-down play, third down will be manageable.
For any team, this clearly is a passing formation (above), but MSU likes to run counters and other "out-of-the-ordinary" plays to keep the defense from cheating. So, as Michigan is lined up in a 4-3 Over formation, the MSU linemen now know who they are going to block.
A draw is a slow-developing play, and there are a couple of key components that the Spartans execute extremely well. The left tackle shows pass block, to keep the defender from going after the running back and the left guard is immediately pulling and blocking the outside linebacker, while the three other players on the line are blocking down.
This creates a hole big enough for the running back to squeeze through and gain four yards to create a very manageable second and third downs. Thanks to the discipline of the MSU line, the Michigan linebackers bit just enough on the pass fake to allow for a quality gain on first down.
On the very next drive, Mark Dantonio shows why he is one of the best coaches in the nation. As seen above, on 1st-and-10 at their own 25, MSU comes out with a very similar set to the one above. Despite the slight change in formation, defenses would still think pass first, but Michigan is left guessing.
Just a drive earlier, the Spartans ran for a sizable gain from nearly the same formation. To add to the Michigan dilemma, at the snap, the Spartans run a play action to the running back with the MSU right guard pulling as if it's a run. All the while, Michigan is playing Cover 4.
The key to a Cover 4 is ensuring that the linebackers don't bite on play-actions, as their failure to be disciplined will result in a wide open field, from sideline to sideline, spanning five yards and more – wide enough for a 747 to land.
MSU, though, is too good at executing their offensive plays. The linebackers bite just enough on the play action to open a gaping hole for an easy pitch and catch between the quarterback and the tight end, who is running what some call a "search route."
This ends up being useful. A search route helps against zone coverage as the player, in this case the tight end, runs a seam route until he gets behind the linebackers. After he gets behind them he turns and keeps running, but he is always looking for the ball, as the quarterback can throw it in his direction at any time. Despite the seemingly flawless execution by MSU, the play results in an incomplete pass because Josiah Price, at least on this play, drops the easy pass.
This, of course, is not the point. Had the tight end not rubbed butter on his hands before the play, the result would have been an easy first down and gain of at least 13, and nine times out of 10 that pass will be completed and is an area to watch for against Michigan State.
Now let's learn about how MSU has stopped the read option in the past. As you see in the screenshot above, the Ohio State running back actually started in the slot and then motioned into the backfield. This is almost a guaranteed sign of a zone read play by the Buckeyes.
The defense may switch into a different play upon seeing this motion, but the main tactic MSU employs when defending the zone read is making the line of scrimmage a log jam. They do this by having the four defensive linemen push upfield as hard as they can, while the two linebackers and the nickleback are all pushing upfield on the right to clog up the running back's hole.
The final part of this defensive scheme involves the free safety coming up to make the play on the quarterback. The play ends up being a one-yard gain — a win for MSU, but a loss for Oregon this Saturday.
Despite MSU's success at stopping the zone read last season, they most likely are going to have to make one or two changes in the scheme due to the loss of Darqueze Dennard.
In the play, you may have noticed that OSU had three receivers and MSU dropped only three into coverage, meaning all three defensive backs in coverage were in one-on-one coverage (on Revis Island). They were able to do this because of their outstanding cover corners and safety.
It is not likely that they will have such an extraordinary secondary so early in the season again, so the Spartans may be forced to drop a fourth defensive back into coverage and have to ask their linebackers to make a few more plays.
Don't mistake the loss of Denard, the clear cut #1 cornerback in last year's draft class, or MSU's star linebacker, Max Bullough, as a sign of their defense dropping off, as that just won't happen. They're too talented, and most of their secondary is returning, including All-American safety candidate, Kurtis Drummond.
The offense is also returning Connor Cook, last year's starting quarterback, Jeremy Langford, their star running back, and many receivers. So, despite the Spartans being known for their defense, look out for their offense as they try to run it down our throat, similar to Stanford's game plan against the Ducks a year ago.
Now that the diagnosis has been run, you can probably tell that this will be a very enjoyable game to watch. If you are going, make sure to grab some green and yellow face paint and deck yourself out from head to toe in your Oregon-emblazoned gear. And if you can't go? Grab some popcorn and a drink, because you may as well be watching 300. This is going to be an all-out war.

Palkki on Kenner, 'Command and Control' and Schlosser, 'Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety'
Robert Kenner, dir. Command and Control. Based on Best-Selling Book by Eric Schlosser. PBS American Experience Series. Boston: WGBH Educational Foundation, 2016. www.shoppbs.org. $19.99. DVD. 210 mins. Eric Schlosser. Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety. New York: Penguin Publishing Group, 2014. 656 pp. $18.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-14-312578-5.
Reviewed by David Palkki (Air War College) Published on H-War (September, 2017) Commissioned by Margaret Sankey
The American public and its elected representatives are appallingly ignorant about the US nuclear arsenal. A 2004 poll found that the average American respondent believed that the United States had only two hundred nuclear weapons—a far cry from the correct number at the time of approximately six thousand.[1] President Donald Trump and many congressional representatives seem no better informed.[2] This widespread ignorance is troubling, in part, since policymakers are soon to make key decisions about the size and scope of the arsenal. Knowledgeable leaders have been calling for years for a "national conversation" on whether and how to modernize the US nuclear arsenal.[3] This well-written book and engaging documentary film, which is based on the book, have risen to the occasion.
Eric Schlosser has produced a thoughtful, at times frightening, account of nuclear policies and accidents in the US Air Force (USAF). Much of the book (as well as the movie) is focused on recreating, in minute detail, the story of the September 1980 explosion of a Titan II missile near Damascus, Arkansas. It all started when a young air force technician accidentally dropped a socket wrench that bounced off the ground and pierced the rocket's fuel tank, causing the highly flammable liquid fuel to leak. Eight hours later, the fuel tank exploded with such force that it launched the missile's nine-megaton thermonuclear warhead several hundred yards into a ditch.
A key point that the book and movie drive home is that "normal accidents," with unpredictable consequences, are inevitable in tightly coupled, interactive systems, such as a nuclear weapons system. If we are willing to live with nuclear weapons, this line of reasoning goes, we must be willing to accept the ever-present risk of nuclear accidents. The point isn't novel. As Schlosser acknowledges, Charles Perrow and Scott Sagan (The Limits of Safety: Organizations, Accidents, and Nuclear Weapons [1993]) deserve credit for their widely acclaimed scholarship on nuclear accidents several decades ago. This lack of theoretical originality, however, by no means reduces Schlosser's merit. Beyond what appears to be fine investigative work into the story line surrounding the explosion of the Titan II (and other accidents), Schlosser and Robert Kenner, the director of the film, have done a masterful job of packaging their argument for mass audiences. It is powerful watching footage of Bob Peurifoy, the former director of weapon development at Sandia National Laboratories, and Bill Stevens, the former head of nuclear safety at Sandia, explain how nuclear accidents could have ended with mushroom clouds.
Unfortunately, the power of these interviews is clearly lost on Amazon.com, which may be the largest distributor of the DVD. Amazon delivers a frontal assault on the claim that the explosion of the Titan II missile could have eventuated in a thermonuclear detonation. In Amazon Prime's "goofs" section for this movie, drawn from the movie reference site IMDb.com, one reads, "Factual Error: It was never possible for an accidental Titan missile explosion to unleash a nuclear detonation. The worst scenario would have been the deaths of the crew in the affected silo.... The premise that a fuel leak at a Titan missile silo could have caused a thermonuclear disaster is both deeply flawed and physically impossible."[4] No source is provided. By contrast, in the documentary, Peurifoy says very clearly that it was possible. When asked, "Was there a chance that that bomb [near Damascus] could have detonated," he answers "Yes." The documentary ends with Peurifoy warning, "Nuclear weapons will always have a chance of an accidental detonation. It will happen. It may be tomorrow, or it may be a million years from now, but it will happen."
The portions of the book dealing with the Titan II, though nonfiction, are written as an action thriller, with the author taking readers from one character's experiences and perspectives to the next. Some readers may find this approach disjointed and unsettling, though the author may have done so precisely to elicit a sense of unease with the material at hand. In any case, where else can one read a well-researched, well-written, historical account involving nuclear weapons, accidental explosions, and Arkansas state politics under Governor Bill Clinton? Command and Control, in book as well as in documentary film, will educate a broader swath of Americans than earlier treatises on nuclear accidents. This is important and timely.
Schlosser praises individual airmen in the US nuclear weapons enterprise "who helped to avert a nuclear holocaust," yet he holds no punches in criticizing the air force more broadly (p. xii). He repeatedly accuses the USAF and Department of Defense of being dishonest about the likelihood of accidental nuclear explosions. Excessive secrecy, he notes, undermined civilian control of Strategic Air Command (SAC) and of the efforts of weapons designers to avert accidents. The US military resisted incorporating permissive action links and various other safety features, he writes, for fear that these might hinder the US ability to retaliate after a Soviet first strike. Readers, particularly newcomers to the study of nuclear weapons, will find his treatment of the always/never debate enlightening and frightening. For instance, he documents how SAC objections to permissive actions links and other safety devices led it in the late 1970s to set the required eight-digit codes at each of its Minuteman sites to "00000000" (p. 371). On the flipside, he writes, at the height of the Cold War, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory made its W-47 warheads too safe. A routine examination in 1963 found that roughly 75 percent of these warheads, placed atop the navy's Polaris missiles, would not work. Livermore tried for four years to fix these warheads, unsuccessfully, before it replaced them (p. 314). I know of no better evidence suggesting the desirability of a US triad (or at least dyad) than this dangerous failure in the navy's nuclear deterrent.
It is unclear how broadly Schlosser's and Kenner's work will influence the public debate, though it has begun making its way into syllabi in civilian academia as well as in the US professional military education system. I assign significant portions of the book and the film to senior military officers at the USAF Air War College, the majority of whom are air force officers and a fair number of whom have worked with nuclear weapons. My students, unsurprisingly, criticize Schlosser for spending so many pages on accidents in the USAF and so few in the navy. They fault him for focusing heavily on accidents in the United States as opposed to a more balanced study including accidents in Russia, Pakistan, and elsewhere. And they wish he had focused more attention on changes within the air force to correct earlier errors. But they enjoy learning from him. Schlosser and Kenner are to be commended for presenting such accessible and important accounts of our nuclear past.

"As we have done for nearly 30 years, FamilyVoice has sent out a ten-question survey on family, life and freedom issues before this month's state election," FamilyVoice SA state officer David d'Lima said today. "The responses give information rarely available from other sources to help voters as they number their preferences on lower and upper house ballot papers.
"Democracy cannot work if voters do not know the beliefs and policies of those they are voting for," Mr d'Lima said.
This time there have been problems contacting some candidates who declined to provide any phone numbers or email addresses, for "privacy" reasons. "We believe anyone standing for public office should make available an email address – which may be temporary – so that voters can ask questions about the candidate's policies," David d'Lima said. "There is no absolute right to privacy in this situation."
FamilyVoice survey scoring rewards openness and honesty. Failure to acknowledge the survey scores zero. A response to the survey is scored separately for each question: full agreement (Yes Definitely) scores 10, Probably = 7, Unsure = 5, Unlikely = 3, total opposition (Definitely Not) = 2 and No Comment = 1. The total score for all 10 questions thus ranges from 0 to 100.
"Voters who reject our position can still learn a lot from our survey responses," David d'Lima said. "So we have been very disappointed by the failure of Labor and the Greens to respond in any way, despite repeated requests. Unless we hear from them soon, they will score zero."
Family First scored a very high 97.
Three lower house Labor candidates responded to the survey – scoring 87, 81 and 67.
The Liberal Party score was 63, but several individual Liberal candidates did better – including scores of 90, 90, 84 and 74.
Ten Dignity for Disability candidates responded, but were generally negative. Their average score was 48.
"Ironically, most Dignity for Disability candidates supported euthanasia," David d'Lima said. "Yet disability groups worldwide have been concerned that legalised euthanasia often leads to pressure on the disabled to end their lives instead of receiving the care and support they need."

If what we see on the tour page is any indication of what awaits inside the membership area, then Porn Pros Network offers a whole hell of a lot of bang for your buck with its 24 websites. The teaser imagery shows smoking hot up-and-comers and big names from the industry, and promises that these girls are "hand picked" and filmed using the "best cameras." Naturally, that means lots of crisp 1080p HD footage -- and I do mean lots. This is because they shoot brand new content every single day. It almost sounds too god to be true.

For such a large network, the membership area really is on the simple side. The main menu sticks to the basics, and aside from the 33 niches listed under the "categories" section, the only way to sort content is by site. Hell, I didn't even notice a search engine. On the bright side, this certainly makes immediately digging into content a simple task.
Also, judging by the links displayed beneath the "latest scenes" section on the main page, content is still being added regularly, with three new scenes having been posted this week alone.
Before we delve too much into the content, though, I think it's worth noting that this site has managed to gathered up a whole hell of a lot of talent in the 10 years since it was first established. There's currently just over 1,500 models, many of whom even casual fans of pornography will no doubt be familiar with. But even if you set those big names aside, the consistency in quality among the unknowns and up and comers is undeniably impressive. So, if it's quality flesh you're after, you will not be disappointed.
Getting back to the sites, there's 24 of them, just as promised on the tour page. I was quite pleased to find that Porn Pros Network covers a wide variety of niches. The number of teen sites alone is astounding, but there's also MILFs, interracial, bukkake, squirting, and a whole slew of reality sites that delve into all manner of niches. I couldn't help but notice that many of these sites have hints of BSDM and femdom, as evidenced by Cruelty Party and MILF Humiliation. And since this a site heavily populated by porn stars, it should come as no surprise that there's a number of "big tit" and "big cock" sites in the mix, too.
Speaking of which, you can expect really slick looking, high quality productions with smooth camera work, lighting, and editing. Honestly, if these scenes featured just a tad more dialogue and story, they'd fit right in during the golden age of porno. As is, they're a damn sight better than a lot of the "hack and slash" reality style content on the market.
I was also pleased with the amount of HD footage available here. All of these sites were offering scenes in at least 720p since the very beginning, and as of now they all offer scenes in at least 1080p, so you'll never have to settle for anything less than 720p. As a matter of fact, all of the latest scenes are available for download in at least 5 formats. And downloads are lightning fast, too, clocking in at just under 3 megs-per-second.
And since all videos are also accompanied by their very own photo gallery, I'd say there's somewhere in the neighborhood of 600,000 photos on the site. Admittedly, they're not served up in multiple formats like their video brethren, but they are served up in a nice resolution size, and can be downloaded in their entirety in ZIP file.
So, what's there to complain about, you ask? Well, if this network has an Achilles' heel, it is, without a doubt, the fact that most of its sites don't update anymore. In fact, three of them haven't updated since 2009, and another seven haven't updated since 2011, and almost all of the rest seemed to stop adding new episodes between late 2012 and early 2013. If you were counting, you'll have no doubt already surmised that that leaves us with a mere five(18 Years Old, Teen BFF, Real Ex Girlfriends, Massage Creep, My Very First Time) that are still cranking out new content.
My only other gripe would be the site's navigation and layout in general. I mean, I suppose one can overlook the lack of browse tools, but couldn't they have at least added descriptions to their scenes? Also, none of the model pages contain bios or, well, anything in the way of useful information about these ladies. As is, they seem merely to serve as a way of quickly access content. Which is a real shame considering the sort of talent they've managed to get their hands on here.
I also can't say I'm a fan of the ads they've decided to include on their main membership page. We've already paid for membership. You've got us. Trying to sell us on even more porn is like saying what we've already purchased isn't adequate, which is a strange message for a large network to send its customers, indeed.
If you're looking a nice package deal of porno that stretches your dollar to its absolute limit, then I can't recommend Porn Pros Network. The sites offered here cover a wide range of niches, and feature some of the hottest talent the industry has to offer. Admittedly, I was bummed out when I realized that most of these sites are no longer updating, but the five that still do so on a regular basis and show no signs of stopping any time soon. So, if nothing else, just think of all of the content on those decommissioned sites as a very healthy bonus.

Meet Dr. Jon Lucas
A bio with a twist…credentials of course, but more personal information for a "personal touch". My wife's name is Anne. We have 3 children: Olivia (born 2007), Jonathan (born 2009), and Katherine (born 2011). I attended the University of Mississippi and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a major in biological sciences and a minor in Chemistry.

Just looking for some feedback.. what I'm really wondering is whether it's harder/easier than the 006.
Just looking for some feedback.. what I'm really wondering is whether it's harder/easier than the 006.
My guess is it's going to be very similar to 006. I"m going to for 007 since it's the latest one so minus well is my mindset.

It looks like they made the new N10-007 exam easier than the N10-006, according to this certmag.com article from November: An overview of changes to CompTIA's new Network+ exam - CertMag
The article is written by Emmett Dulaney. He's the Author of Exam Cram Network+ books & he's also the Author of the A+ & Security+ books from Sybex. He does a really good job breaking down the exam details & objectives of the N10-007 vs. N10-006. The key excerpt from the article is:
While A+ certification has always been recommended but never required, N10-006 additionally suggested Network+ candidates should have nine months of experience in network support or administration. N10-007 now suggests nine-to-12 months of work experience, but that experience should be in IT networking.
There can be a considerable difference between nine months experience in networking and nine months experience in network administration. To complement this change, complex objectives requiring hands-on knowledge have been depreciated in favor of more conceptual and/or knowledge-based ones. Configuration, for example, of firewalls, DNS, and other components has largely been replaced by more focus on the concepts themselves.
Also, I'm currently watching a Webinar from February with with CompTIA's Director of Product Management for the Network+ exam. When talking about the major difference between the N10-006 & the N10-007 exams, she mentions that the N10-006 was geared towards Network Administrators, while the new updated N10-007 is geared towards Junior Network & Systems Admins.

Im pretty new to all of this but went the class room method and ill be taking it in about a week and a half ill update with any (non spoiler) areas of focus that i think might be an issue for people.
I just bought the Network+ 007 not realizing that exam 006 doesn't expire until Aug I believe. If I take the 006, theoretically speaking I should be covered on the material for 007 book correct?

'Panther' Set for October 24 Launch
Apple is gearing up to launch the next version of its Mac OS X operating system, code-named Panther, later this month - just days before Microsoft debuts the first public build of Longhorn.
The new release, which brings Mac OS X to version 10.3, will be available at 8pm on October 24. Apple retail stores nationwide will hold special events to celebrate Panther's long-awaited arrival.
Three days after Panther jumps on the scene, Microsoft will issue to Professional Developers Conference attendees a development build of Longhorn, the next release of Windows expected in 2006.
Although Longhorn won't reach beta status until 2004, developers and industry watchers have waited anxiously for the first official look at Microsoft next-generation operating system following numerous leaks of alpha builds over the past year.
Likewise, Apple has worked hard to squash bugs and finalize interface elements in Panther, as development builds have come fast and furious in the last month. Build 7b85 is expected to serve as the final release of the Panther client, with 7b86 as the server edition.
Mac OS X Server version 10.3, dubbed Panther Server, is designed to run in server environments -- namely on Apple's Xserve -- and will debut alongside the Panther client.
Apple is touting 150 new features in Panther, including a redesigned Finder and fast user switching. A feature called Exposé allows Panther users to instantly see all open windows at once and slide all windows off the screen for quick desktop access.
The much-hyped second version of iChat will also ship with Panther, complete with video conferencing support and buddy lists - a critical feature missing in the initial release. However, buddies still cannot be viewed as groups in a single window, unlike most of iChat's rival IM clients. iChat AV 2.0 will be available to Jaguar users who opt to skip the 10.3 upgrade for $29.95 USD.
Panther will retail for $129 USD, with a "Family Pack" five-user license available for $199 USD. All Power Mac G5 customers can receive a Panther upgrade for $19.95 USD to cover shipping and handling.

These thieves will have to answer to a higher authority.
A Brooklyn rabbi's car was stolen over the weekend — with a torah worth an estimated $30,000 stashed in the trunk.
Rabbi Binyamin Tamaiev parked his 2007 Toyota Corolla on 18th Avenue outside Congregation Agudath Sholom of Flatbush shortly before the start of Sabbath on Friday afternoon.
After service, he left his keys in the synagogue and walked home.
When he arrived at shul on Saturday, his car — and the torah — were missing.
"I cannot forgive myself. I was in shock. I felt as if somebody died, as if a house burned," the rabbi said. "How could someone go into a holy place, steal keys and a car?"
Police found the car and the torah Monday at East 10th Street and Avenue I, just a few blocks away from where it was stolen.
"I want to believe that whoever took the car did not mean to take the torah," the rabbi said.
The rabbi was repairing the torah for a congregation in Queens and kept it in the car because he was ready to return it. When he realized he was was running late for service on Friday, he decided to return it after the sabbath.
"The safety and sanctity of a Torah scroll means a great deal to our community," said the Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn), who offered a $3,000 reward for information leading its return.
Hikind said he'd be happy to pay the reward if someone comes forward to claim it.
"I hope it helped," Hikind said.
The rabbi said he wasn't holding a grudge; God will be the only one to pass judgment.
"I will forgive whoever did it," the rabbi said.

Green-Card Lottery Record
15 Million Seek to Enter U.S. Through Program That Leaves It to Chance
A record 15 million people around the world this year entered America's green-card lottery, an immigration program that offers a quick path to legal, permanent U.S. residence for 50,000 people a year—selected purely by the luck of the draw.
The so-called "diversity visa program" lottery drew nearly 25% more entries than last year, according to the State Department. The limit of 50,000 green-card recipients through the program was established years ago by Congress. Some lawmakers are now calling for an end to the program....

Vienna meet may give fresh hopes for India's NSG dreams
The special envoy appointed by the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), at the forthcoming meeting of the (NSG) Nuclear Suppliers Group consultative group in Vienna on November 11-12, Rafael Grossi, is likely to propose a two-stage process to admit non-NPT members.
China's opposition is entrenched+ , and 2 rounds of discussions between Chinese and Indian delegations led by Wang Qun and Amandeep Gill failed to bridge the divide between the 2 sides. For (NSG) Nuclear Suppliers Group aspirant India, a positive decision in its favour appears unlikely this time.
"We will seek a solution that applies to all non-NPT countries and then we will discuss the specific application of relevant non-NPT country," Chinese foreign ministry said.
"We are willing to keep communication and contact with India in this regard," Hua Chunying, said.
Chinese diplomats have questioned whether Grossi actually enjoys the mandate of all countries, While China has agreed to participate in the consultation process.
The (NSG) Nuclear Suppliers Group impasse has shadowed India's membership of this group which happened earlier this year. India made its maiden appearance at the MTCR+ meeting in Busan, Korea on 21 October, its first after gaining membership to this group. Last week, New Zealand, which has been opposed to non-NPT states like India entering the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), reportedly took a more constructive approach to New Delhi's bid.
New Zealand PM John Key also put forward certain proposals to India, In his conversations with the Indian leadership, which prompted Indian officials to declare satisfaction at the talks even though there was no outright pledge of support from New Zealand.
Austria, Ireland, even Switzerland are waiting for a decision that will reconcile their non-proliferation positions with opening up of membership of the group. Other fence-sitters during the June plenary are unwilling to commit one way or another. Turkey remains opposed to India because of their ties with Pakistan.

Carnival Corp. & plc, the parent company of the Costa Concordia, said it carries $510 million in insurance on the ship, which grounded off the coast of Isola del Giglio, Italy, on Jan. 13.
More than 30 insurers are likely to carry a piece of the property loss, said David French, president of Starr Marine.
"If it's a total loss, it would be the biggest I can recall in my 35-year career in the industry," said French. Starr's Lloyd's Syndicate 1919 has 0.5% of the insured hull coverage, while Starr Indemnity carries 0.8%.
The value of the ship was $490 million at year-end 2011, Carnival said in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The company said it has a potential deductible of about $30 million, as well as insurance for third-party personal injury liability subject to an additional deductible of about $10 million for this incident. The company said it self-insures for loss of use of the ship.
That does not include liability costs, which could take years to figure out, French said. The ship remains grounded and partially submerged off the Italian coast.
Italian officials said it could take as long as 10 months to remove the ship. Attempts to remove the 500,000 gallons of fuel on the ship were stopped on Jan. 29 due to rough seas.
Carnival said it might increase its self-insurance levels to mitigate future premium increases. Carnival does not carry coverage related to loss of earnings or revenues from ships or other operations, the company said in the SEC filing.
Seventeen people have been killed in the incident, with another 16 still missing, as of Jan. 30. The cause of the accident is currently under investigation by the Italian authorities.
The lead insurers for the ship are XL Group, Assicurazioni Generali and RSA Insurance Group plc. But because most marine policies are written by syndicates of different companies and protection & indemnity clubs, the risk exposure is expected to be relatively fragmented, according to Espirito Santo Investment Bank analyst Joy Ferneyhough (Best's News Service, Jan. 23, 2012).
Hannover Re said it was expecting a $39 million loss from the ship's grounding, noting the loss expenditure is related to marine hull insurance.
"Liability claims are difficult to assess at this point in time," said the reinsurer. "The assumption is that a market loss running into triple-digit millions of euros could result. The total loss for Hannover Re — as a leading marine reinsurer — could therefore be in the mid-double-digit million euro range."
Carnival said it was assessing the damage to the ship to determine whether the ship can be repaired and what the total cost would be. If the ship is repairable, it is expected to be out-of-service for the remainder of fiscal 2012, if not longer, Carnival said.
The company carries several types of insurance. Protection and Indemnity clubs provide coverage for liabilities, costs and expenses for illness and injury to crew, guest injury, pollution and other third-party claims in connection with our cruise activities.
P&I clubs are mutual indemnity associations owned by shipowners. Carnival is a member of the Standard Steamship Owners' Protection and Indemnity Association (Europe) Ltd. and the Steamship Mutual Underwriting Association (Bermuda) Limited P&I clubs.
The coverage for hull and machinery is provided by international marine insurers.
Insured loss estimates for the disaster run as high as $500 million to $1 billion, an estimate provided by Espirito Santo Investment Bank. That would make the disaster the largest marine loss in history.
Reinsurance broker Guy Carpenter & Co. estimated about $513 million in insured losses.

Livid (Béatrice Dalle) - DVD Preview
Preview by Jack Foley
FOLLOWING their acclaimed debut, Inside, a fresh, exciting spin on the home invasion genre, Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo return with Livid, an inventive, smart and truly terrifying take on the 'haunted house'.
The film is released on DVD, Blu-ray and EST on August 13, 2012.
Lucie (Chloé Coullaud) is on her first day as an in-home caregiver in a gloomy seaside town in Brittany, assigned to the estate of a Mrs Jessel.
Mrs. Jessel lies in a cerebral coma, by herself, in her large desolate house. Lucie learns from her trainer that Mrs. Jessel, once a dance instructor who lost her only daughter years, has hidden a treasure in her home that she's holding onto as part of her final will.
Upon retelling this story to her boyfriend, William (Félix Moati), the two along with William's brother, Ben (Jérémy Kapone), decide to go to the woman's home late on Halloween night and find the treasure for themselves.
As the house reveals itself to be increasingly peculiar, their hunt for the Jessel treasure leads them into a horrifying supernatural series of events that will change Lucie's life forever.
Livid is a dark, hauntingly beautiful fairy tale, reuniting the directors with Béatrice Dalle, the star of their award-winning debut.
Extras include the trailer, a making of featurette and interviews with Julien Maury & Alexandre, Marie-Claude Pietragalia, Catherine Jacob, Félix Moati & Jérémy Kapone.

One of the most influential and controversial team owners in professional sports history, Walter OaMalley (1903a79) is best rememberedaand still reviled by manyafor moving the Dodgers from Brooklyn to Los Angeles. Yet much of the OaMalley story leading up to the Dodgersa move is unknown or created from myth, and there is substantially more to the man. When he entered the public eye, the self-constructed family background and early life he presented was gilded. Later his personal story was distorted by some New York sportswriters, who hated him for moving the Dodgers. In Mover and Shaker Andy McCue presents for the first time an objective, complete, and nuanced account of OaMalleyas life. He also departs from the overly sentimentalized accounts of OaMalley as either villain or angel and reveals him first and foremost as a rational, hardheaded businessman, who was a major force in baseball for three decades and whose management and marketing practices radically changed the shape of the game.City council- man John Ferraro, who barely a decade earlier had been an All- American football lineman at the University of Southern California (usc), found it impossible to force his way through the crowd to the dignitariesa#39; section.1 But one anbsp;...

By the time Justice Bassey Ikpeme delivered her first pronouncement on the petition of the Association for Better Nigeria (ABN) on June 7, 1993, it was clear that the presidential election scheduled for the following Saturday, June 12, was headed for a debacle
ABN, the shadowy but well-funded and highly-connected organisation that has in recent times emerged as a major vehicle for consummating military president Ibrahim Babangida's hidden agenda, had gone to court to seek an injunction restraining the National Electoral Commission (NEC) from conducting the presidential election.
Because, as claimed by the wily and mercurial Arthur Nzeribe who never championed a cause without bringing it into disrepute, 25 million Nigerians do not want the election to hold. They want General Babangida to continue as president for four more years. The petition, Nzeribe claims, is backed by the signatures of those 25 million Nigerians.
Justice Ikpeme, about whom little was known until that day, was impressed enough to order NEC Chairman Professor Humphrey Nwosu, Federal Attorney-General Clement Akpamgbo and President Babangida to appear before her the following Wednesday to show cause "why the election should not be stopped." She reserves ruling till Thursday, June 10.
That ruling, delivered in the dead of night, follows closely her pronouncement at the first hearing, her language is just as exorbitant, and her conduct just as heedless. The election must not hold, she rules, but NEC is free to ignore her order.
For the next 16 hours or so, there is no clear indication that the election will hold. It is well past lunchtime on Friday, June 11, when NEC finally announces that the election will go on as scheduled, Justice Ikpeme and the ABN notwithstanding.
The Federal Government's affirmation that the election will hold comes indirectly, in response to a statement by the United States Information Service, in Lagos, to the effect that any postponement of the election would be "unacceptable to the U. S. Government.''
The elections hold on Saturday, June 12, as scheduled. Minor hitches are reported here and there, the type that can be expected even in the best-ordered poll. For the most part, NEC and everyone connected with the election gets high praise for a job superbly executed.
By late Sunday, intimations of a grand sweep by the Muslim-Muslim ticket of Chief MKO Abiola and Babagana Kingibe, of the Social Democratic Party, are all over the place. By lunchtime on Monday, June 14, victory songs are in the air in the SDP. The NEC has authenticated the returns from 14 states, and returns from the remaining 16 states are being "collated." It names a chief electoral officer, an indication that it is set to declare a winner. The National Republican Party (NRC) is putting the finishing touches to a statement conceding defeat and pledging to work with the SDP in the country's best interest.
By the next day, Tuesday, the NRC is singing a different tune, following a telephone call to its candidate, Bashir Tofa, from Aso Rock. The NRC, per Nduka Obaigbena, publisher of the defunct newsmagazine ThisWeek, who had made an unsuccessful run for the Senate from Delta State, the NRC charges that SDP candidate Chief Abiola had gone to vote on election day attired in a dress on which was embroidered a stallion, the party's symbol, in breach of the electoral rules,.
The penalty for such a breach, they hint darkly, is a huge fine or a two-year jail term, or both fine and imprisonment. They assert that the breach raises questions of "morality;" that the entire poll stood fatally tainted, and should therefore be voided.
Meanwhile, NEC has stopped announcing results, while apparently continuing the "collating." But the results from all except two of the 30 states are everywhere at home and abroad. For just N200, you could at Oshodi Bus Stop, in Lagos, purchase a set of documents detailing how Nigerians had voted ward by ward and precinct by precinct. They show unequivocally that Abiola has won a decisive sweep.
Unencumbered by NEC's order forbidding publication of "raw scores," foreign correspondents covering the election had filed the results with their media back home. Even the national press has all but called the election. So, why all the fuss, especially when the results that had been authenticated tallied in virtually in every aspect with the figures earlier circulated in Nigeria and abroad?
A clearer but more troubling picture emerges as the day progresses. Another high court in Abuja Federal Capital Territory, Justice Dahiru Saleh presiding, grants a petition by the ABN to stop further announcement of election returns. Attorney-General Akpamgbo orders NEC, first, to comply with this order, and second, to show cause why it should not be punished for discountenancing the order of Justice Ikpeme, aforementioned.
The following day, Wednesday, June 16, the New Nigerian, wholly owned by the Federal Government, and the Daily Times, in which it holds controlling interest, come out with editorials expressing diametrically opposed views. The Daily Times hails the election results a "people's triumph." The New Nigerian denounces the entire poll and calls for its cancellation, even while proclaiming that it had been won by a "third party," presumably the ABN.
How so?
Because, says the New Nigerian, the 25 million ABN members who did not vote outnumbered 2:1 the 13 million Nigerians who had voted.
That day, NEC chairman Nwosu fails to address a scheduled press conference. Also missing action is NEC's director of publicity, the voluble Tonnie Iredia. An assistant director, about whom little has been heard previously reads out a convoluted statement saying NEC would seek legal clarification of Justice Saleh's clarification. It is being bruited that Nwosu has offered his resignation, to no avail.
It comes to light the following day that Yakubu Abdul-Azeez, editor of the New Nigerian, has resigned over the editorial attributed to the paper and by implication to him. He is quoted as saying that he is quitting because he cannot continue to affix his imprint on a newspaper being used to pursue policies that can "lead to Nigeria's disintegration."
Throughout all this, there has been no word from the Presidency, save a statement by Chief Press Secretary Onabule, to the effect that the Federal Government had in no way interfered with the election and that NEC had not complained of any difficulties.
Everything stands still until Monday, June 21, when NEC rises from the stupor into which it had been lulled by the events of the previous week and files a petition before the Kaduna High Court against the ruling of Justice Ikpeme, a certified copy of which it has not been provided, and against the ruling of Justice Saleh. None of NEC's officials is in circulation. Professor Nwosu is reported to be ill, with an undisclosed ailment. The appeal is scheduled to be heard two days later, on Wednesday.
Just as NEC is filing its appeal, Justice Saleh who had barred NEC from announcing further results, swings back into action in Abuja and declares the presidential election of June 12 null and void and of no effect whatsoever, on the ground that it had been conducted in violation of a restraining order.
The order under reference is Justice Ikpeme's. She had issued it fully acknowledging that NEC was not obliged to heed it, since the court had no jurisdiction in the matter. Justice Saleh now says that since NEC had disregarded that order, the election is null and void.
Two days later, on June 23, the Federal Government strikes a blow that leaves everyone practically breathless. It cancels the presidential election, suspends NEC, and repeals the law governing the final phase of the political transition programme that had been eight years in the making. By that singular move, it also terminates all court cases relating to the presidential election.
The statement announcing these measures is not signed and not dated. Typed on plain paper, it was issued on behalf of the government by Nduka Irabor, press secretary to the Vice President, Admiral Augustus Aikhomu. The statement says the government has taken these sweeping measures to ensure that a judiciary that has been built on a sound and solid foundation is not "tarnished by the insatiable political desire of a few persons."
This stunning announcement comes a few hours before the National Defence and Security Council is scheduled to meet and deliberate on the crisis. Can it be that the Council had met earlier than scheduled, or is the announcement designed to present the Council with a fait accompli?
The Council disperses only after a brief meeting, ostensibly for what Information Secretary Uche Chukwumerije calls "wider consultations." It is to convene the next day.
When it finally convenes, it members are reported to have taken far-reaching decisions on a new agenda that could include the appointment of a prime minister to serve along an unelected military president, formation of more political parties, and the un-banning of all those who had been kept in political purgatory during the transition. Field commanders, principal staff officers in military formations, and the police hierarchy, are to be briefed the next day, Friday, followed by a national broadcast by Babangida.
Friday ends without the promised broadcast, which is now rescheduled for Saturday, June 26. But it does not take place at mid-day as the public has been led to believe, nor an hour after mid-day as announced in a revised schedule. It does not take place at 7 p.m. as rescheduled again.
It takes place, finally, two hours later, at 9 p.m. Even more than the benumbing events of the previous 12 days, the content is beyond belief. It provides proof, were any still required, that the "hidden agenda" was not the invention of cynical commentators.
The broadcast, a tissue of self-serving lies and fabrications and evasions and rationalizations, eviscerates the promise emblematized by June 12, that one nation might emerge at long last, from the plethora of nations inhabiting the Nigerian space, and it locks the country even more securely into a debacle.
Its place is assured in Nigeria's calendar of infamy. So also is the political and judicial debauchery of which it was the culmination.

Nasri, who has been linked with City all summer, was given permission to travel to Manchester for a medical and to miss Arsenal's crucial Champions League play-off second leg at Udinese tomorrow night.
A short statement on the Arsenal website said: "Arsenal can confirm that they have agreed terms for Samir Nasri to move to Manchester City.
"The 24-year-old midfielder, who has spent three years with the Gunners, has been omitted from Arsenal's squad which flies to Udinese this afternoon and instead will travel north for a medical.
"The move will be subject to Nasri passing a medical and formal registration processes."
Nasri trained with Arsenal this morning, fuelling speculation he would be in the squad for tomorrow night's game.
That would have cup-tied the France star, who started Saturday's Premier League defeat to Liverpool, and arguably would have decreased his transfer value.
City have reportedly agreed to pay in the region of £24million for Nasri, who is out of contract at the end of the season and has refused to sign a new deal.
That has ultimately forced the hand of Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, who insisted earlier this summer the midfielder would not be sold.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said: "The summer was very difficult because we had Cesc Fabregas and Nasri on permanent transfer negotiations and that is draining in the end.
"We lost two great players and that's a sad side of the story but at some stage it has to be over, because you want to focus on the future."
It has also been confirmed that Jack Wilshere, Keiran Gibbs and Nicklas Bendtner are out of tonight's squad to face Udinese.

An independent print magazine about beer and culture will be unveiled soon.
Caña is a magazine about the love of beer, of visual art and of fervent creativity; a celebration of the sticky carpets where they collide. Sloshing through the high- and low-culture of drinking, brewing and creating, Caña has been created as a conduit through which to distill the ongoing relationship of beer and the arts.
Fermenting the creative ground shared by artists and artisans on both sides of the bar, Caña champions the visionaries inspired by a common desire to raise two fingers and a pint to convention. This is for the drinkers, thinkers and drunks; this is beer culture.

Students Seek Time, Academic Credit for Volunteer Work
Raleigh, NC--The questions of whether students should be excused from classes to participate in outside educational and community activities, and whether they should receive academic credit for those activities, were put to Gov. James B. Hunt and State Superintendent of Instruction A. Craig Phillips during a special all-day hearing here recently on the subject of student volunteerism.
The two officials were closely questioned during the hearing by the people who would be most affected by new policies on those issues--students themselves.
Some 45 student leaders representing 12 statewide organizations had called the hearing to examine the common barriers to and effective incentives for student involvement in voluntary educational and community activities. It was the final event in a month that had been proclaimed by the Governor, a strong advocate of volunteer activism himself, as Youth Involvement Month.
Testimony in Position Paper
The students said that they plan to use the hearing's testimony in preparing a position paper that they intend to present to the state board of education later this spring. Governor Hunt had already told the young people that he would accompany them to make the presentation to the state board.
A principal concern of the student leaders was the disparity in school policies that allows athletes and band participants to be excused from classes, but not participants in other kinds of activities.
Robert Winfree, a Charlotte-Mecklenburg student, remarked that he gets excused for basketball, but not for his involvement with the North Carolina Native American Youth Organization, of which he is president. And Thomas Mabry, a Stanly County high-school student, described a similar situation. His drafting teacher got him involved with Vocational Industrial Clubs of America, he said. He was elected secretary of the national organization and as a result of his active involvement with the club, missed 36 school days over the past year. Now his drafting teacher has informed him that he is going to flunk, he added.
'Precarious Situation'
"What this shows is how precarious the situation is in some schools," said Pamela Kohl, director of the North Carolina Youth Involvement Office, which helped organize the hearing. "It's up to teachers and principals to decide the degree of student involvement."
The student leaders found a strong ally in Governor Hunt, who has been awarded the National Association of Volunteer Administrators' top award for his role as a leader in the field and who spends one morning a week counseling students enrolled in a dropout-prevention program at a Raleigh high school.
But while the Governor told the student leaders that he backed their interest in volunteerism "100 percent," some other state officials--although supportive of youth involvement in educational and community activities--were less enthusiastic about granting academic credit or excused absences to student volunteers.
"Criteria [for awarding academic credit] need to be established," Mr. Phillips said in his testimony.
"But it's up to the local school boards to set the policies," he added.
Mr. Phillips did, however, encourage his listeners to discuss their concerns with the local school boards.
In his testimony, Gene Causby, director of the state school board association, said that while volunteer experiences are of considerable value to students and their communities, state and local boards of education are primarily concerned with providing worthwhile activities and instruction within the schools. He would not, he added, like to see such instructional time de-emphasized.
To preserve the integrity of the high-school diploma, he said, educators must be cautious in deciding what is worthwhile educationally and what is not. From an administrative point of view, he noted, it would be difficult for schools to determine which activities should receive credit and to monitor those activities.
"How do you make a decision on what is a valid reason not to be in school?" he asked. Such decisions, if they are to be made, should be handled on a local level, he told the students.
Several other state officials expressed a fear that if the two issues were handled at the local rather than state level, the result would be a confusing variety of policies set by individual districts.
The Governor, however, strongly supported awarding academic credit for high-school students who volunteer. He suggested that structured experiences might be handled in two ways: through internships within the curriculum and through a student's own efforts to contract with an agency to work six hours a week and get one hour's credit toward graduation.
'Tremendous Experience'
Governor Hunt noted that volunteer programs may take on an even more important role now that President Reagan has proposed large cutbacks in some federal programs. "It's a tremendous experience," he said, "meaning as much to you as to the one you start out to help."
The idea for the hearing, said Cari Whittington of the Youth Involvement Office, grew out of concerns raised by students during "speak-outs" that her office conducted across the state in February to identify problems that young people encounter in the areas of juvenile justice, employment, health, and education. One of the major issues that the students cited during those sessions, she said, was that they are often discouraged from becoming involved in educational and community activities outside the schools.
"They told us, 'We're not looking for excuses to miss classes,"' she said. "But rather, they felt they were following a nationwide thrust--along with senior citizens and other members of the community who are active in volunteerism."
Career Decisions
"These students think their activities should be encouraged--working on the rescue squad, as a candystriper, for parks and recreation--because they can contribute to the community while perhaps making decisions about what kinds of careers they might like to pursue and what kind of training is necessary to do it," Ms. Whittington explained.
The student leaders plan to meet here again on April 18 to review the transcripts of the hearings and to formulate specific recommendations based on the testimony. After their presentation to the board of education, the students plan to send copies of their position paper to state education officials and to all 143 local school boards within the state. Legislation, they said, may also be proposed.
Groups represented at the hearing were the Boy Scouts' Explorers program, State Youth Council, Future Farmers of America, N.C. Native American Youth Organization, 4-H, Distributive Education Clubs of America, naacp, Youth Council, Vocational Industrial Clubs of America, ymca, Youth in Government program, Positive Youth Development, Youth Involvement Subcommittee, and Child Watch.
