Dark Avengers Uncanny X-Men Exodus #1
Creative team: Story by Matt Fraction; Penciled by Mike Deodato
Villain to Watch: Norman Osborn and his Dark Avengers
They say: The climactic conclusion to the crossover event of 2009 is here! This is it, the final battle for the Dark Avengers and the X-Men that will change the status quo for the Marvel Universe. Emma Frost's betrayal comes home to roost. Cyclops' plan clicks into place, but is it too late? What can the X-Men do against the Sentry and Ares?
I say: This has been an excellent series. Scott "Cyclops" Summers has been unfolding a beguiling plan to form a counter-offensive group to Norman Osborn's various "Dark" teams. And it looks as if this issue is going to bring that plan to fruition. The betrayal of Emma Frost and Prince Namor is stinging Norman something fierce (as we'll see in the next item), so expect there to be some all-out warfare between the factions.
Plus, I gotta tell you, I was never a huge fan of Cloak and Dagger (beyond wondering how she keeps that costume in place), but lately they've become more and more intriguing as characters. Here's hoping the next ish features more of the same.
Dark Reign: The List #1
Creative team: Story by Brian Michael Bendis; Penciled by Marko Djurdjevic
Villain to Watch: Norman Osborn
They say: In this first in a series of spectacular summer one-shots, the finest writers working at Marvel are teamed up with the most sensational artists to unveil the darkest chapters in the Dark Reign! Norman Osborn, fresh from the shocking finale of Utopia, sets his sights on the rest of the Marvel Universe. He sits down and makes a list. A list of things that are wrong with the world. Things that he needs to take care of. And the list includes almost every major player in the Marvel Universe. These specials are exciting game changers for all of Marvel Comics and represent the finest talents. This first chapter has a startling confrontation between members of the New Avengers and Dark Avengers. Clint Barton fans... you are not going to want to miss this one!
I say: Wait.
"...first in a series of spectacular summer one-shots..."?
I'll never get used to the way publishers judge time.
Nonetheless, Marvel is bringing one of its Big Guns to write this one-shot, so I'll be happy to give it a squint at the comic shop today. The idea of Osborn making a "Richard Nixon"-style enemies list is intriguing enough, and things seem to be on the brink of teetering in the marvel Universe. This list could be his complete undoing.
Or it could teeter Norm right back to his place of power.
Also, reading between the lines, the teaser seems to promise a show-down between Hawkeye and Bullseye. It's been brewing in the Dark Reign: Bullseye book. And it's about darned time.
Doom Patrol #2
Creative team: Story by Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis; Art by Metthew Clark
Villain to Watch: Unknown
They say: It's a black hole, but it's not a black hole. If you're a Doom Patrol fan, that made perfect sense. And even if not, then you're in for one hell of a ride as the Doom Patrol face off against the most annoying alien this side of G'nort. Who's G'nort? What, do we have to spoon-feed this stuff to you? Oh, and we send the Metal Men into space. Just because.
I say: Fist off, if you tell me that Giffen and DeMatteis are writing a phone book, I'm buying it.
Secondly, it's the Doom Patrol, people. This is the definition of B-list -- both the fictional team and the title itself. But as we all know, it's some of that B-list stuff that holds the best creativity. That's why Doom patrol has such as mad following. And that's why it makes perfect sense to throw in another cult fav, the Metal Men, into the mix.
Thirdly, they said G-Nort. I see it right there in the solicit. And they're not wasting words on a character who ain't showing up in the book. And I am desperate to find out what G'Nort has been up to while the events of Blackest Night have been transpiring.
Thunderbolts #135
Creative team: Story by Andy Diggle; Art by Miguel Sepulveda
Villain to Watch: The ubiquitous Osborn
They say: Norman Osborn! Black Widow II! Songbird! Nick Fury! When you finally learn how these four powderkegs intersect and collide, you will be picking your jaw off the floor! Secrets will be uncovered, agendas will be exposed, and heads will roll in the latest wicked installment of the book ComicPants.com calls 'Bold and awesome. Diggle has woven a tale of underhanded evil and it truly is a great thing to behold.'
I say: I have no idea what "ComicPants.com" is, but I'll second the praise for Diggle's ability to script a fascinating storyline. Just don't think that we've completely forgotten about Ghost, though, Diggle. It's been about two or three issues since his character was sniffing a little too close to a few of Osborn's secrets, so it's just... about... now that he should be popping out of nowhere with the results of his ill-gotten gains.
Secret Six #13
Creative team: Story by Gail Simone, Art by Nicola Scott and Doug Hazlewood
Villain to Watch: The proprietors of Devil's Island
They say: War breaks out on the new Devil's Island and the Six are split in half. Now they're on opposite sides and ready to die (or kill) for their cause! But what in the world are they fighting over that's strong enough - and brutal enough - to take down Wonder Woman?
I say: Ah, the perfect week. New T'bolts and new Secret Six in my hot little hands. Life is good.
The Devil's Island plot has gone a tad long for me, but I'm so freaking confident in Simon's ability to bring the awesome, that I'm not letting it get to me. But I am expecting a little resolution to happen sometime soon. The team is feeling a bit scattered to me, and I want to get back to the core group (plus the usual one or two stragglers and handers-on) doing what they do best -- try to figure out the best way to be bad.
...And One To Pass...
Hulk Team-Up #1
Creative team: Story by Marc Sumerak and Alexander Zalbon; Art by Sanford Green and Joyce Chin
Villain to Watch: Reed Hulk
They say: Mutant mayhem in a Battle by the Bay! While exploring their new home in San Francisco, X-Men Iceman and Angel discover that the weirdest part of the city isn't its eclectic populace or crazy landmarks, but the monsters that pass through -- namely the Incredible Hulk! Now they've got to track down Hulk and get to the bottom of a series of earthquakes (because THAT never happens in SF...) before the Red Hulk shows up bringing his trademark good cheer to San Fran. Did we say good cheer? We meant destruction and carnage. PLUS: Dazzler rocks out at the Fillmore and Hulk's got backstage passes! Will the Pop Princess get Smashed, live in concert?
I say: Here's my problem with writing the Hulk in general -- and the Hulk specifically as the anchor of a team-up series. The Hulk is supposed to be a living force of nature. You can reason with a hurricane, you don't rationalize electricity, and you can't team-up with the Hulk. Unless you're the Defenders. But they're a non-team anyway. And they have Dr. Strange, who, one must only guess, had to put months of effort into bringing Green Genes into the fold as an effective member of the troupe.
But a monthly pairing with guest stars du jour? I'm not buying it.
I feel bad for Sumerak for trying to script this thing long term. There are only so many ways you can have your protagonists beat the snot out of each other before uniting against a common foe -- and that's the only way I can see this series being written. I'll pass.

A family pleads for help in finding their loved one's killer.
Jerry Wayne Gibson was shot to death eight months ago.
"He said I've got some bad news. Your son was murdered over in Jackson County. They found him about a half-mile out in a field," says Patricia Baugh, Jerry Wayne Gibson's mother.
"I done went to bed. I got a phone call. Momma was crying. So I knew something was pretty rough," says Billy Gibson.
A father of three, Jerry Wayne Gibson's body was found just off Jackson County Road 19 in Section in July of last year.
"It's rough. I thought I was just going to die then," says Billy Gibson.
Investigators say Jerry died from multiple gun shot wounds.
Jerry's mother, Patricia Baugh, says life hasn't been the same since.
"There's a part of me that will never be there again. It's like a part of me died," says Baugh.
Jerry's younger brother, Billy, says life has forever changed for him.
He and Jerry used to go fishing together all the time.
Billy says he hasn't been since.
"He was half of me. Since he's been gone, half of me's been gone," says Billy Gibson.
Jerry's family says it's an empty spot that may never be filled. A sense of emptiness made worse since Jerry's killer is still on the loose.
"Makes it harder to sleep just knowing that there's somebody out there," says Billy Gibson.
"I just want somebody to help find who done this," says Baugh.
If you have any information on who killed Jerry Wayne Gibson, please call the Jackson County Sheriff's Department at 256-574-2610.
There is a $10,000 reward.

Emerald Lea Lahote
Emerald is your typical girl. She is thirty three and has two children, Jason and Emily.
Before she had Emily, Emerald was with her parents and Jason. Her best friend Eric had abandoned her when he found out she was pregnant.
So Emerald lived, had her son and stayed with her parents, still hurting from losing her best friend.
But when Emerald goes shopping for groceries she runs into Eric and he imprints on her. Since then she has been through a lot, with how Eric treated her, how her dad handled it, and how she lives through it.
Emerald is now married to Eric, and that's when her second child came along, and all in her life is going well, that is until Embry comes along and imprints on Emily, Emerald and Eric's daughter.
Emerald has a full life, and not one day goes by where something big, be it bad or good, happens.
Emerald loves her life and wouldn't trade it for anyone.
Emerald | Thirty three | Married to Eric | Five Kids | Taken By Rebekah
Eric is the son of San and Emily, and the biological father of Emily, step fathering Jason.
His parents raised him to think that having kids before marriage is a sin, let alone getting pregnant.
So when Emerald gets pregnant with Jason, Eric abandons her, and lets her do it alone with no help, when Jason's dad want's nothing to do with him.
He was alone, dating Macie, now a wolf, having a good life, but part of him still misses Emerald.
When he runs into Emerald, while going grocery shopping, he finds out that he will miss Emerald a whole lot more if he's away for to long. He imprinted.
So now he has his own child and is married to Emerald, seeing Jason as his own son, and has a daughter. What else could he ask, until his parents start bugging to see Emily, and not Emerald or Jason.
Eric keeps trying to tell his parents that Emerald and Jason are part of his family also, and if they want to see Emily so much, they will see Emerald and Jason also.
He know's the only reason that his parents want to see Emily so much is that she is blood, and Jason isn't.
Things aren't going his way lately, especially when Embry imprints on Emily.
Eric | Thirty Seven | Married to Emerald | Five Kids | Taken By Skylar
Jason Kyle Lahote
Jason is currently in his second year of grade twelve from a misunderstanding of his time table. So it said he was two credits short, so he is taking only one more semester of grade twelve to catch up, so he can graduate.
He has met his birth father only once since he came to his mom, demanding to get to know him. Jason, not knowing it was his father stood up for his mom since Eric was not there and it scared his father away, since his father thought it was someone who his mom was dating. Jason still does not know that that man was his birth father since his mom chose not to tell him for his safety.
He is protective of Emily and Jessica since he is the big brother, and even though his dad, Embry and Seth are there, Jason seems to think he needs to be there to protect his sisters also, so they don't get hurt.
Jason | Nineteen | None yet | One Parent | Taken By Skylar
Emily is still sweet but has the attitude of a teenage girl since she is one. She does well in all her classes except grade ten History which is what she was in. Being in grade ten, she has past all her grade nine courses and passing the ones she is in right now. But failing History. Her parents don't know her mark, and she fears telling them, fear of getting grounded.
Her and Danny, her on/off boyfriend since kindergarten are not dating at the moment, and she can tell that Embry is happy they aren't. Embry is the reason her and Danny cant work it out, since Danny has always had trust issues, he doesn't like her hanging out with Embry much. Emily still does, since Embry is her closest friend she has, and won't drop him like Danny does all the time. No one in her family agrees with her when she gets back together with Danny.
Emily | Sixteen | |Embry's Imprint| |Two Parents | Taken By Rebekah
Paul, the hothead of La Push, s proud husband, father and grandfather.
Most of the time with Jason, Paul didn't think he would get another grandchild, then Emily came.
Paul is very protective of his daughter and grandchildren, and no one will want to hurt them, since, like mentioned before, Paul is the hothead
Paul is also a loyal kind hearted guy, if he likes you.
Paul | Fifty Eight | Married To Rachel | One Kid | Taken by Skylar
Rachel is the wife, mother and grandmother in here, and still looking quite young.
She, in ways, can be much worse than Paul, when it comes to attitude, but that's because she cares about her family.
Paul learns many times how she can be when she's angry, and she often finds many ways to get mad.
She's a kind woman, and reasonable, if she likes you.
Rachel | Fifty Seven | Married To Paul | One Kid | Taken by Rebekah
Embry Kyle Call
Embry has watched Emily grow, and is impressed with how not only how she has grown physically, but mentally with the typical teenage girl attitude. The attitude is mainly directed at him and Eric and Emerald.
He had just gotten trusted enough to babysit her when Eric and Emerald go out, to having to be supervised again, not even six months after. Eric's reasons, Emily is a teenage girl now and being a teenage girl comes hormones, which Embry might not be able to stop if they are aimed at him. So Eric has it where Embry needs someone in the house when he is over. He is trusted enough to pick her up from school and bring her to the mall since in society's eyes it is not legal for them to romantically date. So he is seen as her driver in public.
Embry | Fourty Two | Imprints On Emily | No Kids | Taken By Skylar
Jessica Ashley Lahote-Uley
Jessica is one of the twins-with her twin brother Jordan. She was born two minutes after Jordan, and is always bossed around by him. It doesn't work.
She is a daddy's girl and it is obvious to everyone how much she has her dad wrapped around her finger. Not that her dad minds.
Her and Jordan don't get along fully with Emily or Jason, but when they do, it's something you wanna see, since it is so rare.
Jessica | Twelve | Seth's Imprint | No Kids | Taken By Rebekah
Jordan is one of the twins-with his twin brother Jessica.
No body has imprinted on him yet, and he doesn't care. When he gets older though, he will have the werewolf gene like his dad and grandfather did.
He is the older twin, and tries to use it against Jessica all the time by bossing her around and what not. It doesn't work, and he often gets in trouble for it. Being a twelve year old boy, that doesn't stop him.
Jordan | Twelve | None | No Kids | Taken By Skylar
Seth is still around, protecting and caring for Jessica.
He imprinted on Jessica when she was a toddler, and now he's more like a brother friend to her. He makes sure she is okay and well protected.
He still struggles with the rules, that have applied with Embry and Emily for many years now, and he wonders when the rules will be lifted.
He does all in his power to make sure Jessica is happy, and protected. He puts Jessica before everyone else.
He doesn't visit as much, since he is still made to patrol and his sister still has to control him, telling him when he can and can't leave and what not.
His main focus is and always will be Jessica.

Paul-"What? What-what do you mean by that Rachel that it's your time to go?"
Rachel frowns slightly at this. "I have to pass on to the other side. I love you."
Paul-I had watery eyes, "Rachel...I-you-you can't. I love you too." I kissed her passionately. "I want you to know I've loved you every moment of every single day." I said as I felt tears roll down my cheeks, mumbling against her lips
Rachel frowns. "I love you Paul. So very much. Dont ever forget me." She says. "I love you." She says, breathing out her life.
have a nice leangthy reply for paul, and only at the very end, have him wake.
Paul-"I'll never, ever forget you." I closed my eyes, trying to keep my tears in my eyes but it was too hard. My tears poured down my cheeks as I lied over her lifeless body. My head filled with memories of us, like the first day we met each other. That day was so perfect, one of the best days of my life because I met her. I could remember it as if it happened yesterday:
I went to go visit Jacob to hang with him since I was bored at my own house...and mainly because of his food. I knocked on the door and heard Jacob say come in, I walked in. I went to his small living room and saw him along with Billy and a girl I've never knew. "Hey Billy." I greeted then I saw the girl turn around to look at me. Jake got up walking over to me as I started staring at her. A grin slowly appeared across my face as I looked at her. "Paul this is my one of my older sisters Rachel." Jacob explained to me and I waved. "H..hi." I stuttered a little. Jake was looking at me, starring at me. I already knew that he knew that I fell for his sister. She already looked amazingly perfect for me. I slowly moved towards her looking at her. "Hi, I'm Paul." I greeted er trying not to stumble over my words this time. I could picture myself with her in several years-married and having kids of our own watching them grown.
A few more memories were in my head like on our first date, our engagement, and wedding. Even the memory of finding out she was pregnant with Emerald. More tears came down my cheeks, then I slowly looked at her. "Please come back to me..." I whispered to her, begging. "Rachel I need you...I love you so much." I said, continuing to beg but her body just lied there as her eyes were closed as well. I took her hand in mine, as I broke down even more...
That's when I woke up and looked around, finding out it was just a dream no-a nightmare a horrible nightmare.
(I was sort of crying when I wrote this)
one correction...emerald is their kid not eric.. (:
i started geting teary eyed when he was begging her back.
Rachel lay there, sleeping as she was curled in Pauls side, smiling as she slept.
I totally meant to say Emerald
I was crying during the beginning
Paul-I held her close to me looking at her
I might just actually wright the flash cards lol
its always the after shock that gets me, so him begging her lifeless body to come back got me.
Rachel was sleeping.
sure, if you want lol.
yeah it gets to me too like in Breaking Dawn part 1 when Edward was begging Bella to come back to him I was literally crying and shaking in the movie theater. I was holding my friends hand lol, I was just breaking down in the theater. And I already knew she was coming back to life but it was just sad seeing them like that
Paul-I kissed her lightly
I will tomorrow if I don't forget
lol it always gets me, the aftermath....in the hunger games, it was district 11s reactipn to rues death. its the aftermath lol
Rachel stirred beginning to wake up.
I've never seen the hunger games actually or read the books but I found out about Rue's death like somewhere I just don't remember though lol
Paul-I pulled away looking at her
Rachel woke. "Morning. How'd you sleep?"

1. International, Afghan and American law surrounding the accused soldier-murderer:
With the Afghan Parliament demanding yesterday that the American soldier accused of killing 16 civilians there be put on trial locally rather than be tried by American military courts, I'm betting that the office of State Department Legal Advisor Harold Koh and others in Washington are working overtime to frame a response. How will they decide whether our army turns him over? What could their arguments be against that? What are prevailing international law and military law precedents, and how much will they matter? What are the likely ramifications for the presidential election? What position will the Republican candidates take? All parts of an important, urgent story likely to play out this week.
2. Putin's billion-dollar palace?
Check out these two sentences embedded in a recent New York Times story about how various cronies of Russian prime minister and now president-elect Vladimir Putin have all become billionaires:
Mr. Putin has repeatedly denied any involvement in the enrichment of these and other acquaintances, and he has forcefully dismissed assertions made by his political opponents that he himself is a secret beneficiary of these enterprises and has amassed tens of billions of dollars in bank accounts outside Russia.
Mr. Putin's spokesman has also denied any connection to a sprawling resort complex that some of Mr. Putin's St. Petersburg acquaintances were said to be building for him as a "palace" on the Black Sea at a cost of as much as $1 billion.

BAGHDAD (AP) — Authorities in Iraq are finding more car bombs in an area north of Baghdad where they say insurgents accidentally set off their own car bomb during a training session. They say the explosion left 21 people dead.
Security forces arrested 22 men trying to flee the area, including several who have been wounded.
Authorities searched the area and found seven car bombs, several explosive belts and some roadside bombs. They've been working to defuse the explosives.
The discoveries are offering a rare glimpse into the workings of militants behind a resurgence of violence in the country.
Car bombs are among the deadliest weapons used by an extremist Sunni group that recently broke with al-Qaida. The bombs are sometimes assembled in farm compounds where militants can gather without being spotted, or in mechanic shops in industrial areas.

Great looking theme! Nice job!
Thanks you
super sweet. This is on my bust buy theme list.
Thanks u
Nice Theme !
I'm not a photograph, but Horizontal layout is great. Some questions :
1/ Portfolio : is it possible to have a background image with text (1 or 2 pages long) and in slider, to have video and audio (with self hosted) instead of images ?
2/ Is it possible to switch skin to another color than white or black ?
3/ Footer, it would be great to have an info panel sliding beneath content.
4/ Blog : is it possible to have full width post ?
Thanks for your interest, but it's a pity that the theme does not support the features that you desire .
Hi I have a problem with the feature image in the posts. In the Grid View, it never show up. I have being trying changing size, format, etc and It continued to be missing. I would appreciate your help. Thanks
Hi, try to upload a image, with size larger than 400×400. If this still does not fix the problem, pls send me your site URL via email, I'm happy to check it
hi zlatan. I have the same issue as marco. on the grid post no images as being displayed even through i've assigned a feature image for each post. the images are larger than 400×400.
my site url is http://www.poppyandamelia.com
I've also created a gallery and the thumbnails in the gallery is not displaying either. (I've created a menu to the test gallery so you can see what i mean)
Hi, I've just checked your website. To solve the problem, you must change permalink setting. On the admin sidebar, choose settings/permalink then click on day and name. If the way does not address the problem, let me know by an email or a comment here
Hi, thanks for the quick reply Zlatan. I tried the change you suggested. But this did not resolve the problem. Thanks for your continued support.
Hi. I've created a new post with a gallery and the feature image is showing on the grid blog. I've tried to save the feature image again on the previous 2 posts and the feature image in both cases is not showing on the grid… when i edit the post replace the feature image and click update. I then look at the feature image section of the post and the selected photo is no longer there (just a grey box with a + int he middle)
Hi again, maybe I've realised the reason why pictures are not displayed.
I guess that you re-used old data( included old pictures) for the posts. After installing the theme,it will set up for wordpress a function, in which uploaded images will be cut into the size 400×400. However, this function will not impact on old images. In other word, images with size 400×400 (which are used for post) will not exist if images are uploaded before you install the theme. You can realise that in your latest post http://www.poppyandamelia.com/2014/02/01/some-of-dads-favourite-photos/
And the same with gallery, try create a new one and upload new images. I think it will work
And also the solution to still use old images by using the plugin http://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/
hi Zlatan. Thanks for all the advice. Regenerate Thumbnails did the trick and my site is starting to look really good (lots of old posts to go through and add a feature image)...
I have another couple of questions. First is it possible to have a post in gallery (with thumbnail) format? I'd like to create a gallery with the horizontal thumbnails and one large image, linked directly from the post grid.
The next question is for normal posts with multiple images, i'd like the images to display in a grid with 4 images per row. at the moment i'm getting 3 images on one row, then 1, the 3, then 1 again and so on. is it possible to make it the same on every row?
Many thanks again, I think this theme is great and apologies for all the questions, i'm pretty new to wordpress.
Ok. contact me via an email, I'll send for your some custom files.
Thanks Zlatan. What email should I contact you on? I tried to email firstname.lastname@example.com but got a mail delivery error.
You can send me an email from here.
hi Zlatan. thanks for the email. Worked exactly as requested. The theme is great and your support has also been excellent.
hi Zlatan. thanks for the email. Worked exactly as requested. The theme is great and your support has also been excellent.
on the contact page, I can not see contact form, is what this theme is the possiblitéd'ajouter formualire a contact on this page
It's possible. Although the theme does no include contact form as an available function, you can install a plugin to have it, for expample, contact form 7 and change a little bit stylesheet.
Hey Zlatan!
Is it possible to redirect the "View More" button in the grid stile to another page instead of the portfolio?
Best regards Mads
It's possible, contact me via email, I'll send for you custom files
Nice looking theme.
Is there any way I could put video in gallery page? Or maybe direct vimeo/youtube integration?
Sadly, It's impossible
Hi there, it seems like i'm having the same issue (no images being displayed even through i've assigned a feature image for each post. the images are larger than 400×400.)
Actually some work, some don't… i'm puzzled
I answered your email
I would like to remove the /portfolio/ url For example, I would prefect that it displayt he category of protfolio, ie. domain.com/product-name
Is it possible to remove 'portfolio' it from the url?
It's possible. I included the solution in the email that you sent
It would be so could if you could not only add pictures but also video's in the grid layout!
Best Regards Mads
what about meta seo for this theme? should be using external plugin?
is there a way to remove read more link from every single portfolio?
and another thing! is there a way to insert a background pattern in the footer area?
Hi, sorry for my late reply. Pls send me an email, I'll help you to solve these problems
tell me, I would like to chage the font on the theme, there is a font switcher on the redemption menu / design/ select heading font + select content font but when i select a new one and i save the option i do not see any change
wa happa?
Hi, could you send me your site link via email. I'll try to check it.
Thanks for the nice design… I want to do some adoptions…
On the portfolio / homepage there is no space between them. I want some white space between al the pictures… I know it is possible but I don't know where to find it in the files. I have an example but I can't upload it from here.
Greetings, firstname.lastname@example.com
send me your site via here. I will check it and find a solution for that.
Hi Zlatan_phan! Before I purchase your theme I have a question. In the Fullscreen Slide with Thumbnails can you change the transition of images? Instead of right to left switch to fade transtion? Thank you
It's possible
Really like theme but is there any way to have the blog full screen or for the images on the blog to be bigger than shown.
Thank you
The theme is once but we have an issue on the blog. When you select a month form archives it always shows the same posts. For example october shows 6 posts in the drop down menu, however when I select is shows all post. This is the same whatever I choose, it just shows all posts. Please advise or PM for a link
I want to use also video for the portfolio or can I only use video for the news / blog page? Something else; this is the site I am working on… http://tijsrooijakkers.nl/wp/ When I click on one of the projects and then 'lees meer' The definition of the project opens in a new window… I don't want that but I can't find where I have to change it. And… when I click on CV and then 'lees meer' I want a new page with one pictures and One column text for his CV. Do I have to make a new php page based on the gallery page… Thanks in advanced..
Greetings, Bas
Dear Zlatan,
Your Redemption Theme is simply fantastic! Great Job! I only experiencing a small issue regarding social media icons in the footer. They disappear as soon as you resize the page for iPad and iPhone size. You simply can't see them on those two devices. Could you please have a look at this little technical issue. Other than that, your theme is perfect! Kind Regards. Martin (www.draf.ca)
Hi, contact me by an email I'll send you customized code.
Hej Zlatan!
Is it possible to make a full screen video? Still with overhead bar whough?

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - In Louisville, as in locations all over the country and the world, people were following the movements of police after a bombing during the Boston Marathon in practically real time, aided by Twitter and online scanners. It brings up an issue that journalists watch closely in times of breaking news: the public's right to know information and know it quickly versus the risk it can cause.
Police scanners are not new.
"People who had police scanners, used to have them in their homes and that was it," said Indiana State Police Sergeant Jerry Goodin. "You could hear what was going on at home. Well, you may call your friend up and tell them over the telephone or maybe get on a C.B. radio but it's nothing like we have now. One Tweet can go to millions of people."
Goodin said the ability to listen to them from hundreds of miles away changes the game.
"You can pick up any scanner in the United States of America practically," said Goodin.
"You can get it on your cell phones, you could get it on your laptops, I mean with the technologies out there today," Floyd County Sheriff Darrell Mills said.
Mills says people who listen in on scanners both help and hurt investigations like the one in Boston.
"We're looking for somebody, we need the public's help but that can go to where it actually drags you down," Mills said of the number of tips that come in.
Sometimes all that of information turns out to be incorrect. Louisville's MetroSafe says that most of the radio traffic turns out to not be 100% accurate because it's coming from public reports.
Goodin said police radio traffic that is picked up over scanners is a means of communicating information only.
"We relay tips and other information across the air that people may hear and take it for a hard truth, which it's not really," Goodin said.
Then there's the risk that worried Goodin, Mills and many police officers: the bad guy has access to all of the information on police positions and response as well as well-meaning members of the public.
"We don't want John Doe or whoever to know we're coming after them when we're coming after them," Goodin said.
Scanners are a crucial tool for us in news gathering at WAVE 3 as well as news organizations around the country. Because of everything Sergeant Goodin and Sheriff Mills talked about, it is our policy to always verify any information with sources before we report the information.

The Puerto Rican sportsman, 49, turned himself in to cops in Florida on Monday (02Apr12) following an incident with his young son last year (11).
Camacho is accused of stomping on his kid during a furious altercation at his ex-wife's home on 22 March, 2011, according to local paper the Orlando Sentinel.
The child reportedly told detectives investigating the case that his father was ""high on drugs"" during the incident.
The boxer landed the Super Featherweight Champion and Lightweight Champion World Boxing Council titles in the 1980s, and was crowned the World Boxing Organization's Light Welterweight Champion twice in 1989 and 1991.

Even after the first hour, skin to skin remains beneficial and should be continued by moms or dads during the baby's first month of life.
Breastfeeding support
Rush supports exclusive breastfeeding, with breastfeeding support beginning immediately after delivery.
When you go into labor
If you are in labor and planning to deliver your baby at Rush, go directly to OB registration, located on the first and fourth floor of the Brennan Pavilion in the Tower. For information about preregistration procedures, call the preregistration desk at (312) 942-0234.

After delivery, moms will be transferred to the mother-baby unit (link to mother-baby unit page) to recover before being discharged home.

The 10 best things I've ever bought
The two cars and the dog might seem like obvious choices. But the T-shirt and capri pants from Custer State Park in South Dakota?
This post comes from Len Pen at Len Penzo dot Com.
The other day my son, Matthew, was extolling the virtues of the laptop computer he'd recently purchased with his own money. "This is the best thing I ever bought, Dad!"
Of course, the first thought that came to my mind was: Well, of course it is, son. You're only 14 years old! But instead, I just nodded my head and smiled.
The truth is, if I took a moment to count up all the things Matthew has bought with his very own money during the relatively short amount of time he's been around, his laptop really doesn't have a lot of competition. Let's see: There's a used skateboard or two, some video games, lots of pop rocks, and a handful of other baubles. Oh, yes -- how could I forget? -- there's also the remote-controlled mini helicopter that, soon after he bought it, disintegrated in a violent confrontation with the living room wall, rotor blades whirring at near-hypersonic speed. But that's about it.
Anyway, that got me thinking about the best thing I've ever bought during my lifetime. And the more I thought about it, the more I realized it was impossible to settle on just one thing -- so I put together a top 10 list instead. Here it is, in no particular order. How does it compare to your list?
1. Our current house
Purchase date: 1997.
Purchase price: $198,000.
Why it's in my top 10: Our home is situated on a small and extremely quiet cul de sac in a relatively rural area, far away from the usual noises you hear in most parts of Southern California. At barely 2,000 square feet, our home is roomy yet still small enough to be cost efficient. By being patient, we have been able to slowly make numerous improvements and upgrades over the years, including remodeling a kitchen and two bathrooms.
2. Window shutters
Purchase date: 2005.
Purchase price: $7,211.68.
Why it's in my top 10: I love our window shutters! They not only give the house a refined look that blinds can't match, they also help reduce the energy bill by keeping our home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
3. Hewlett-Packard 15C scientific calculator
Purchase date: 1983.
Purchase price: $135.
Why it's in my top 10: Just as car aficionados get weak-kneed around classic automobiles, engineers like me who began plying their trade prior to 1990 appreciate old calculators. The 15C is a real class act. It's programmable, and uses Reverse Polish Notation designed for making multiple complex calculations in rapid succession. Sadly, HP discontinued making these beauties in 1989 -- another victim of the personal computer. Even so, when I'm at work I still like to take my 15C "out of the garage" for an occasional spin.
4. My dog, Major
Purchase date: 2003.
Purchase price: $1,500.
Why it's in my top 10: I've had a lot of dogs over the years, but none have been as terrific as our Rhodesian ridegback. Major is an amazing pup with an absolutely terrific disposition. How many dogs can claim to be a bona fide taste test challenge panelist? He is an integral part of our family unit and I can't imagine not having him with us.
Purchase date: 1997.
Purchase price: $14,592.56.
Why it's in my top 10: I recently wrote a piece explaining why both dogs and old cars are worthy of being man's best friend. With respect to old cars, an older, properly maintained automobile saves its owner significant cash over time. I figure my trusty Civic has saved me roughly $50,000 in car payments since we paid off the loan more than a decade ago.
Purchase date: 2001.
Purchase price: $26,400.
Why it's in my top 10: Aside from the cost benefits described above, over the past 11 years our Odyssey has been our family's transportation workhorse. Powerful, reliable and well-designed -- it's the most comfortable minivan I've ever been in -- the Odyssey has handled everything from countless local grocery store trips to multiple coast-to-coast summer road trips. Best of all, it still has less than 100,000 miles on it.
7. 1974 Fender Stratocaster guitar
Purchase date: 1994.
Purchase price: $400.
Why it's in my top 10: I used to play in a rock 'n' roll band in my younger days. I know. I bought this beautiful vintage guitar with a gorgeous sunburst finish from a work colleague who had found it hiding in his mother's basement after she passed away. He didn't play and just wanted to get rid of it, so he sold it to me for $400. The guitar is still in excellent condition and has served me well over the years. It turns out it was a good investment too; depending on their condition, 1974 Stratocasters are now commanding thousands of dollars in the marketplace.
8. My college education
Purchase date: 1983-1988.
Purchase price: $15,000 (approximate).
Why it's in my top 10: Talk about getting a bargain! The listed purchase price includes the cost of my tuition -- plus books, room and board for the entire five-plus years I spent earning my engineering degree from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo back in the 1980s. Today, the cost of a public college education in California is an astounding 17 times higher than it was in 1980, which begs the question: Is a college degree still worth it?
9. A T-shirt and matching capris from Custer State Park
Purchase date: 2008.
Purchase price: $56.
Why it's in my top 10: No, they're not mine. But, in retrospect, I was absurdly apoplectic when the Honeybee bought this simple cotton ensemble from the little gift shop at the historic State Game Lodge in beautiful Custer State Park in South Dakota. As if to prove a point, she has since faithfully worn that outfit at least one day each week for the last three years. That's almost 175 times by my count -- and only 32 cents per use. Believe it or not, it's still in great shape too. (OK, maybe this one is a bit of a stretch.)
10. My wife's wedding ring
Purchase date: 1995.
Purchase price: $4,200.
Why it's in my top 10: Speaking of the Honeybee, I know I said these were in no particular order but, the truth is, asking my wife to marry me was the best decision I ever made in life, bar none. I'm just glad she said yes.

WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) - The man suspected of threatening a Wausau West student has pled not guilty. Marcos Garza is accused of sending multiple threatening text messages to a 17-year-old Wausau West student whom he had been intimately involved with over the past couple of years. The series of threats prompted Wausau School officials to lock down West High School October 5th.
Garza was in court Tuesday where he entered the not guilty plea. He remains in the Marathon County Jail unable to post a $25,000 bond.
Garza was arrested on Jefferson Street in downtown Wausau carrying a loaded handgun in his backpack. Along with the threatening text messages, he is also accused of taking indecent videos of the victim and using them to control her actions. Garza could spend least five years in prison if convicted.

'Predators' Sequel Coming To Comic Con?
Back in 2010, we got an awesome addition to the Predator franchise from producer Robert Rodriguez and director Nimrod Antal in Predators, a movie that captured all the magic of the original while adding enough of the new to make it worthwhile. It made decent money, and had a huge sequel tease at the end, so it's a little surprise that for three years the air was silent on that front. Now, that has changed.
This image appeared on the Predators facebook page:
Looks like a picture of L.A. and a quote from Predator 2. That's interesting, because Predators took place entirely on an alien planet, and seemed to indicate the sequel would stay there. Maybe this is going to be a prequel. Maybe it's going to star new characters, though that would be kind of disappointing. Personally, I think it'll cover the same characters, but long after they've escaped from the planet of the first film. We'll just have to wait until Comic Con to see.

Recently, I've been hearing the word "polyglot" at conferences: Long gone are the days in which developers rejoiced in programming-language-specific tunnel vision with an ecosystem to match, furiously declaring developments on any other systems as superfluous. Instead, today's engineers tend to spy on their competitors' forums, recognizing advanced developments and adapting them for use in the language or application stack of their choice. Hosters of web applications also support this trend and offer their services for a wide variety of programming languages and run-time environments.

Take Advantage of Small Business Spending Trends
Lee is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
I want to take a check on what is happening with the environment for small businesses in the US and see if there are any identifiable trends worth investing in. I'll start with the most recent company in the sector to give results and that is Paychex Inc (NASDAQ: PAYX). Then I will compare some industry surveys with what companies are reporting.
In summary, the results and guidance were slightly ahead and there were no major surprises here. However, there are a few trends that can give clues as to other stocks and sectors that might prove attractive. With regards Paychex itself, the stock's dividend will interest income seekers but its single digit earnings prospects won't turn on growth junkies. Each to his own!
Paychex Results
The results were slightly ahead in terms of revenues and the company reaffirmed full year guidance so nothing new here. As for the specifics, payroll services (67% of revenue) increased by 1% and human resource services (32%) increased by 7%. The key takeaway here is that checks per payroll continue to increase albeit at a slower pace with 2% growth this year versus. 2.4% growth last year.
This is consistent with a slowing economy and anyone looking for upside surprise would have been disappointed. It pretty much confirms what the key industry surveys have been saying. Moreover, Paychex predicted that checks per payroll would experience lower growth going forward while revenue per check would see a modest increase. Again this is confirmation of a slowing economy that doesn't have much traction.
It is a 'steady as she goes' type of earnings report. Yield chasers will love the stability of the dividend and this is true attraction of the stock. Of course in an environment where growth is a lot weaker than it traditionally is in recoveries we can expect increased competitive pressure as companies fight for a piece of a smaller cake. Indeed, the likes of Automatic Data Processing (NASDAQ: ADP) offer stiff competition. ADP is doing a bit better than Paychex in terms of generating growth. Its employer services division recorded 5% organic growth in the last quarter and the company forecasts 6-7% revenue growth along with some margin expansion. It is predicting a modest 2-3% growth in pays per control which tallies closely with what Paychex is seeing too.
Industry Surveys?
While according to what Paychex and ADP are reporting, small business conditions appear sluggish at best, is this what the industry surveys are saying?
I think the answer is yes.
The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) surveys have tended to be a bit on the weak side this year but August saw a slight uptick. With regards employment here is the NFIB small business job openings data. This measures the percentage with positions not able to fill right now.
So a slight tick up in August but it has been a very sluggish recovery and the numbers are still far from pre-recession levels. Nonetheless the trend remains positive.
It is a similar story with NFIB capital expenditure plans. This measures the percentage planning a capital expenditure in the next three to six months.
So we seem to be having a decent August following a tough couple of months and it's amazing how the market seems to be pricing this in.
Opportunities in the Small Business Market?
Aside from Paychex, ADP and the other obvious beneficiaries of a pickup in small business sentiment there are other companies that could benefit. I want to focus on what Wells Fargo said in July with its Wells Fargo/Gallup small business index. In line with the NFIB data (for June/July) it was predicting weaker capital spending plans but as August has rebounded with the NFIB it is fair to assume that the capital spending trends identified in the Wells Fargo index will strengthen in August.
Interestingly new technology is very high on the capital spending agenda of small businesses. Here are the movements in purchase rates for technology over the last year.
Smart phones and tablets are replacing traditional cell phones and desktop computers in importance and if the mini recovery in August is sustained then companies exposed to these themes will do well.
Stock Ideas
There will be winners and losers in this kind of shift in spending and the clearest losers are Dell and Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ). Both are seeing pc sales collapse and mobility revenues challenged. Moreover Hewlett Packard's printing division has been under pressure for a long time now and the company's debt puts it in a tricky position. It's hard to see an easy turnaround for either of these companies but HP looks in particular difficulty.
On a more positive note Aruba Networks (NASDAQ: ARUN) looks like a beneficiary of this shift. Incidentally, there is a more detailed article linked here on Aruba. The company is a good play on companies rolling out smart phones and mobile devices across their workforce. It is also exposed to the trend of bring your own device (BYOD) in corporate mobile. A trend that is increasing as Blackberry continues to lose market share as the device of choice for corporations. Aruba did make some positive noises in the last report but I am a bit concerned with the evaluation. Nonetheless, it is a great stock to monitor.
Another SMB focused business that will do well out of new technology spending is Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT). I am a bit of a fan of this IT security company and think it is performing very well this year. Its unified threat management (UTM) solutions provide SMBs with their IT overall security needs and the company is also winning business from mid-market firms that are increasingly moving to its solutions. Whether this is 'trading down' or not doesn't really matter, it still ends up in its bottom line.
The Bottom Line
In conclusion, small businesses are doing ok. The recovery is slow and not offering great upside to the traditional plays but there are trends within small business spending that can be capitalized on and I hope this article has created some ideas for you.

It's that time of year again – Halloween, when most of kiddies (and many mommies and papas) will scarf down bags of candy. As a nurse, you want to make sure that this celebration, which opens the sweets-heavy holiday season -- doesn't bust your health goals, or those of your family.
You can't get away from sweets today. According to the National Confectioner's Association's 2013 survey of 1,335 American adults, 74 percent of households will hand out Halloween candy to little trick or treaters this year.
Not surprisingly, 81 percent of parents cop to sneaking a few (or many!) treats from the Halloween candy their kids bring home. Moms are especially tempted to dip into the sweet stash.
Instead of sneaking candy, many parents enact a house rule that treats must be shared with all family members.
Or, parents buy their own favorite candies to hand out -- but also frequently reach in and help themselves. One Snickers for the witch....one for me. One Almond Joy for the goblin...one for me. By the end of the night, that's quite a lot of sugar and calories consumed!
Candy is a delicioius part of life, especially during childhood. Many kids regard Halloween as their favorite holiday -- after all, it's all about the sweets. Sugar leads to cavities, though, which is why pediatric dentist recommend that kids stay away from the gooey stuff -- taffy, Tootsie Rolls, caramels and Jolly Ranchers, which adheres teeth. What's better? Chocolate, such as Hershey's Kisses, Miniatures, and M&M's.
Some dentists will "buy back" candy from trick or treaters for $1 dollar a pound or so, to encourage patients to keep a handful of sweets and turn over the rest. (Some parents have instituted the same type of buy-back offer, switching candy for cool cash or coveted items, including toys, art supplies or clothing.)
Dentists also advise parents to limit their kids' candy consumption to a few pieces a day, eaten after dinner but before tooth brushing.
Adults would be smart to do the same, in order to save their teeth -- and their waistlines. Here are some candy options that clock in at about 50 to 100 calories:
15-25 small jelly beans = 60 calories
Fun-size candy bar = 80 calories
2 strings of licorice = 50 calories
3 pieces of hard candy = 60 calories
2 bite-size peanut butter cups = 90 calories
2 bite-size chocolates = 90 calories
Whatever your favorite sweet treat, enjoy it today! In moderation, of course.

That annoying house mate that can't stand seeing a few dirty dishes on the counter for more then a day or two. The Dish Nazi, when he catches you, will even become enraged that you keep dishes in your room even though you are just trying appease them by keeping the kitchen a little cleaner. The Dish Nazi will also clean everyone's dishes on the pretense of being "nice" when really they are just cleaning for peace of mind.
Bob, out house Dish Nazi, saw I had a few bowls in my room... The look that came over him made me think he was either going to have a nervous break down or burn me at the stake as a witch.
