A "hate crimes" bill opponents claim will be used to crack down on Christian speech, even the reading of the Bible, was signed into law today by President Obama.
The Senate approved the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act by a vote of 68-29 on Oct. 22 after Democrats strategically attached it to a "must-pass" $680 billion defense appropriations plan.
Most Republicans, although normally strong supporters of the U.S. military, opposed the bill because it hands out federal money to states and local governments in pursuit of "preventing" hate crimes. The bill creates federal protections and privileges for homosexuals and other alternative lifestyles but denies those protections to other groups of citizens.
Obama signed the 2010 National Defense Authorization Act at a White House ceremony today. Prior to signing the act into law, Obama spoke briefly of the hate crimes bill.
"After more than a decade, we've passed inclusive hate-crimes legislation to help protect our citizens from violence based on what they look like, who they love, how they pray or who they are," he said. "I promised Judy Shepard when she saw me in the Oval Office that this day would come, and I'm glad that she and her husband, Dennis, could join us for this event. I'm also honored to have the family of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy who fought so hard for this legislation. I just want you all to know how proud we are of the work that Ted did to help make this day possible."
American Family Association President Tim Wildmon warned that the new law "creates a kind of caste system in law enforcement, where the perverse thing is that people who engage in non-normative sexual behavior will have more legal protection than heterosexuals. This kind of inequality before the law is simply un-American."
Wildmon said the legislation creates possible situations where pastors may be arrested if their sermons on sexuality can be linked in even the remotest way to acts of violence.
"It threatens free speech and freedom of religion and is totally unacceptable," he said.
As WND reported, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder admitted a homosexual activist who is attacked following a Christian minister's sermon about homosexuality would be protected by the proposed federal law, but a minister attacked by a homosexual wouldn't be

President-elect Barack Obama prioritizes passage of the freedom-stealing Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act. High-level Democrats are also eager to limit free speech in media with the Fairness Doctrine. Earlier liberals, especially during the 60s and 70s, championed unbridled freedom of speech and expression. But Obama and "new liberals" encourage the opposite: hate and bias laws which restrict and even criminalize criticism of federally protected groups such as Jews and homosexuals. (1)
Should there be limits on freedom of speech? Or do the ethical foundations of America, the Bible and the Constitution allow us to say virtually anything we want?
To answer these and other questions about this now controversial subject, we must define "free speech."
What is Free Speech?
Our right to free speech comes from our identity as free will beings, created in God's image. Freedom to make moral choices is given every person at conception and is part of the eternal soul or spirit of man. The first instinct of our free will is to speak our desires and opinions. Speech naturally proceeds from the innermost thoughts of our minds and souls. Natural law also argues for freedom of speech. If animals can bark, sing, chirp at their pleasure and without restraint, shouldn't human beings made in God's image have at least as much right to speak? Our free speech, like our free will, is our most precious birthright from our Creator.
Yet this freedom must not be abused. In the Old Testament, God did command execution for those who abused their freedom of speech through blasphemy, advocating idolatry, or inciting rebellion. Yet He gave each person the freedom to commit those sins, if they chose.
God has authority to end verbal discord to Himself and His law whenever He pleases. He would not be God if He didn't have that privilege. He is not required to bear with sin for any length of time, and the eternal law of a holy God is that any discord to Him must be instantly annihilated. Yet He doesn't incinerate all sinners; even demons are given freedom to continue. God forbears, in love, to give mankind time to repent and become His friends.
In fact, God does much more than just forbear judgment. Jesus came down and died on a cross to bear our just punishment. When we trust in Christ, our Sin-bearer, He becomes our bridge of justification and reconciliation to a holy God.
When Speech Should Not Be Free
Just as there were some limits to freedom of speech for the Hebrews, so American law sets some limits. No one is allowed to shout "Fire!" in a crowded theater or to incite riot, or to libel or slander. American law does not tolerate speech that threatens public safety with "imminent harm," and I believe speech that is blatantly corruptive should also be restricted. Scripture provides precedent for such limits, especially in the Old Testament. Young people should be legally protected from expression that is overtly pornographic, solicitous of pedophilia, sexually traumatizing or sadistically violent.

The "Hate Crimes" Bill
H.R. 1913, the "Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009″
By Shawn D. Akers
I. Characteristics
A. "This bill would create a federal offense imposing federal criminal penalties – potentially in addition to criminal penalties imposed under state law" – on any defendant who chooses his victim in whole or in part because of the victim's "actual or perceived race, color, religion, or national origin" or "actual or perceived religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability." "Violations would be punishable by criminal fines and imprisonment of up to 10 years, or imprisonment for life if the offense results in death or 'includes kidnaping [sic] or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill.'" See Legislation Detail: http://www.overcriminalized.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?id=441.
B. The bill includes the terms "Gender, Sexual Orientation, and Gender Identity" – ambiguous terms that the drafters of the bill have refused to define. It places those descriptions on par with race, color, religion and nationality.
C. As a matter of mechanics, the bill provides financial grants to state and local entities, provides additional personnel for investigation and prosecution, creates new federal criminal offenses, and creates a new evidentiary rule (no evidence of speech or associations is admissible to prove motive of defendant unless the speech or association is "specifically related" to the "hate crime").
D. The bill is couched in terms of providing assistance to state local and Indian governments but it reserves the right to act if they fail to exercise their jurisdiction, or leave "demonstrably un-vindicated the federal interest in eradicating bias-motivated violence."
II. Status
A. The version of the bill titled HR 1913 RH passed out of Judiciary committee on a 15-12 vote. It appears that the only change from the prior version, HR 1913 IH, was the dropping of the original section 2 – the findings section which included exaggerated figures of so-called hate crimes and included the interstate commerce language.
B. Rep. Steve King, Rep. Bob Goodlatte and others offered and argued persuasively for several amendments all of which were defeated. One that was particularly interesting was Steve King's amendment to merely exclude pedophiles from the protected class based on "sexual orientation" – it was voted down 13-10.
C. If Rep. Barney Frank is to be believed, the bill will likely go to the floor of the house very quickly, probably within the next few weeks. [A House floor vote is expected to come as early as tomorrow, Wednesday, April 29–Editor.]
III. Major Concerns
While the bill's supporters have very effectively framed the bill as one that will protect victims from criminal acts, the bill actually has very little to do with protection. Indeed, if the bill's drafters and supporters are to be believed, the bill only becomes relevant after a criminal has committed an already illegal act. On closer analysis, the bill does not merely provide stiffer penalties for certain crimes but, rather, represents a substantive and fundamental shift away from the American ideas of free speech and God given immutable equality and toward the European ideas of state approved speech, state endorsed morality, state-given egality. The particular concerns with the bill are numerous, but a few of the most troublesome are listed below.
A. Unequal Protection of Laws Under 14th Amendment
- The 14th Amendment to the Constitution requires that all citizens be extended equal protection under the law. HR 1913 in effect creates two classes of victims, i.e. those who are a member of the preferred and protected class created by the bill and those who are not. Inclusion in the preferred class is to a great extent based not on immutable characteristics but on the class member's choice of sexual conduct, subjective gender, and subjective gender self-identity.
- The practical effect of the carrot and the stick of federal funds, federal promotion and federal oversight is the promotion of the preferred class and the neglect of non-class members. Specifically, local and state law enforcement would have the incentive of federal funds to prosecute cases involving these preferred victims to the exclusion and neglect of less valuable victims. Additionally, with federal funds available when the requisite "hate" connection can be alleged, the bill creates a powerful incentive to force cases into the "hate crimes" mold. This heavily incentivized increase in reported "hate crimes" would artificially inflate the number and apparent prevalence of so called "hate crimes." The natural and very political result of such a perceived increase in "hate crimes" would undoubtedly be an increase in the political influence of the preferred class, and as night follows day, a corresponding increase and expansion of even more intrusive "hate crime" and "hate speech" legislation to address the perceived crisis.
B. Punishes Thought (Potentially Religious or Political thought) rather than Mere Intent To Commit a Crime.
1. Ironically hate is not even an element of a "hate crime" in the bill. Rather, the definition of a "hate crime" is borrowed from the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 – requiring only that the defendant selects a victim because of the membership or perceived membership in one of these proposed protected classes. Proponents of the bill argue that the criminal is being punished for his or her intent to terrorize an entire class of people (i.e. all homosexuals) but no such intent to terrorize is actually required. Indeed, despite the framing of the term "hate crime" the bill does not even require a showing of animus toward the victim or the preferred class. Under existing law, the criminal would be punished if he or she possessed the requisite intent to commit the act. The additional criminal fines and prison sentences that would be created by HR 1913 are based not on whether the defendant intended to commit the act but on whether the defendant considered the victim's membership in the preferred class in choosing the victim. In other words, because penalties already exist for those who commit criminal acts, HR 1913 serves only to punish individuals for the beliefs, opinions, or convictions held at the time an act is committed. As such, HR 1913 does not punish criminal intent, but criminalizes thought.
C. Wider Immediate Application than Claimed.
This bill will certainly be construed in light of existing federal law including specifically United States Code Title 18, Section 2, that says that : "Whoever commits an offense against the United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is punishable as a principal." (emphasis added). This is the feared immediate nexus between the speech of a pastor or radio commentator and the actions of a deranged parishioner or listener. Proponents of the bill argue that it clearly, under its own language, applies only to acts of violence. This argument is misleading and naïve in that it implies that criminal liability would be available only for the person physically committing the violent act, while ignoring completely the likelihood that courts, especially ideologically driven, activist courts, will impose criminal liability on those deemed complicit in the violent act whether or not they physically contributed to the act.
D. Federal Power Grab
The bill, if passed into law, would as a practical matter federalize virtually every sexual crime in the United States. This federalization would occur even in the absence of any evidence of failure by states and municipalities to prosecute. Under the bill, membership in one of the preferred classes does not have to be the impetus for the criminal act but merely a factor in the defendant's selection of his victim. This is almost always the case. Muggers invariably choose little old ladies as victims precisely because they are little old ladies and unlikely to be able to fend them off. Under the bill, consideration of the gender of the victim effectively creates the potential for federal jurisdiction. Considering both the extreme breadth of the bill and the built-in incentives to bring crimes under the bill, the likely result is the practical federalization of large swaths of state and local criminal law.
E. Trend of Nationalization of State and Local Law and the Internationalization of Federal Law; And a Corresponding rise in Anti-Semitic and Anti-Christian activity.
1. The recent report by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) widely increased the number of people who may be classified as terrorists and who almost by definition would be members of hate groups. Under the HR 1913, the speech of a criminal defendant and the mere membership of the defendant in a given group may be used as evidence of his or her biased motive so long as a prosecutor can show that the speech or association was "specifically related" to the criminal act.
2. Substance and methods similar to that offered in the DHS report have recently been echoed by the Southern Poverty Law Center. That group provides influential lists of alleged hate groups relied upon by state and federal law enforcement. The reports have begun to blend among its lengthy list of true hate-based groups such as neo-Nazi groups and the Ku Klux Klan, other organizations based on little more than their opposition to homosexuality. The effect of listing a pro-family organization along side several neo-Nazi groups is to create guilt by the artificial manufactured appearance of association.
3. Additionally the appointment of Harold Koh as legal advisor to the State Department and the rise of acceptability of his stance that international laws should be used to interpret American laws, even among such figures as Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, creates the danger and likelihood that judicial activism would further increase the power, reach, and tyrannical effect of HR 1913 by bringing its application in line with its counterparts in Canada, the Netherlands, etc.
4. Proponents of HR 1913 argue or imply that the law would provide greater protection for members of all faiths, presumably including Judaism and Christianity. The application of hate crimes laws in the countries they are most prevalent (and the countries to which Harold Koh would likely look for interpretive guidance), produce exactly the opposite result. The application of hate crimes laws in countries like the Netherlands experiencing the increased influence of Shariah – stringent Islamic religious law — is patently and consistently anti-Semitic. The most concrete example of this is the stark contrast in the application of the hate crimes laws in the Netherlands between those who criticize Shariah and those who call for violence against Israel and the Jewish people. For instance, Geert Wilders, who produced a 17-minute film critical of Shariah, is being vigorously prosecuted under the Netherlands' hate crimes laws — while the blatant and violent anti-Semitism of others such as Dutch MP Harry van Bommel, who called for intifada against Israel earlier this year, and Doekle Terpstra, who sponsored an "Olive Tree Campaign" rally in Amsterdam where the participants chanted "Hamas, Hamas, Jews to the Gas!" are apparently immune from hate crimes prosecution.
5. The same is likely true of the UN Anti-Blasphemy measures which realistically can be seen only to forbid criticism of Shariah while allowing wholesale anti-Semitism.
6. Christians who vocally oppose homosexuality and the state endorsement of homosexuality in Holland, Canada, and Brazil routinely receive similar treatment, finding themselves on the prosecuted and persecuted end of hate crimes legislation while the anti-Christian actions of other groups are ignored.
7. Historically an increase in Shariah influence and/or a rise in economic problems have consistently shown a corresponding rise in anti-Semitism. The growing national and international acceptance and preferential treatment of the pro-homosexual movement has likewise shown a similar increase in anti-Christian activity (such as the threats of violence against Proposition 8 supporters in California and the recent attack launched by homosexual activist Perez Hilton against a contestant in the Miss USA competition). Were the United States under the leadership of Harold Koh, Janet Napolitano, etc., to follow the hate crimes trends and precedents established in the international community, the actual application of HR 1913 and its certain coming hate crimes and hate speech progeny, would likely undermine the rights of Christian and Jewish citizens.
F. Incremental Move Toward Making Speech a Federal Crime.
1. All of the above can reasonably be expected to lead to a quickly spawned progeny of hate crime legislation demanding greater and greater control of thought, expression and association. This is the pattern in the international community. HR 1913 would firmly brand one's thoughts on the issues of human sexuality as potentially criminal activity. The logical next step is to recognize the "harmful impact of hateful speech" on preferred classes and to begin outlawing speech that would communicate what members of preferred classes find offensive. Proponents of HR 1913 have argued that this is preposterous but tellingly, in the April 23, 2009 Judiciary Committee hearings on HR 1913, Representative Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX) said unequivocally that "We need to protect victims against hateful words, hateful acts and even violent acts." (emphasis added).
IV. Action Steps
- Encourage constituents to participate in immediate, continued, and persistent contact with both personal senators and congressmen and those of other districts and states (Congressional Switchboard: 202-225-3121; or 202-224-3121; www.congress.org).
- Support, promote and demand a filibuster if the measure reaches the floor of the Senate.
- Record and hold to account every member of Congress supporting the bill in the coming elections.
- Actively oppose the confirmation of Harold Koh.
- Vigorously hold Janet Napolitano responsible for the libelous report issued by the DHS.
Other articles:
- Obama gets 'Pedophile protection Act'
- 'Hate speech' law declared unconstitutional
- Senators get 705,000 plus letters opposing ' hate crimes' law

PORTLAND, Maine — Most mornings, Don Nech trucks down to the rusty piers skirting this historic fishing town. After the boats come in, he loads up 90-pound cases of lobster, their feelers jagging from the boxes like needles from a pincushion.
It's hard work. It's cold and it's wet. It smells bad. And worst of all, it pays worse than his last job, lost when his company moved a factory abroad.
All that would seem to make Nech the perfect man to respond to the populist call of Reform Party presidential candidate Pat Buchanan this election year. Nech is a free-trade victim. He's blue-collar to the core. He lives in America's most independent state. And he voted twice for Ross Perot.
But Nech, like many who once flocked to Perot, has gone mainstream. And this election, he's voting for Democrat Al Gore for president.

Sound Reviews
Next Generation Brazilian Artists: Moreno Veloso
Nenad Georgievski
You were signed on the 7th of June by Luaka Bop where your debut release was re– released. Firstly, what does the title mean? What does "Musical typewriter" refer to?
– "Music Typewriter" doesn't mean much a thing in english in this form but sounds good. In portuguese "Máquina de Escrever Música" means a typewriter to write music, a machine to write music and this was once the way our Maestro Antonio Carlos Jobim called his computer.
One of the things that i noticed when i was doing a research on your past is that you studied physics and that occasionally you work at a lab. How do you balance between your career as an artist, working at a lab as well as having a recording studio?
– First I didn't have a career as an artist and I could conciliate the studio work with the lab work, and the studies at the university. Actually it was hard to have a time to sleep but I never had too much sleep any way. Now I've not seeing my lab mates very much.
How did your interest in electronic music evolve?
– When I was a kid I liked to pay attention to the DJs on partys I occasionly went and what they had to show was changing as fast as the computers from the early 80's to 90's. This changing was doing a break in party styles and in our lives. Then I've met Kassin who is a good DJ himself and what he showed me of electronic stuff caused a great impact on me as a good experimental, mental, insane and technological way of making music.
Do you remember the first recording that had an impact on you?
– The first hundred perhaps. I grew up in a house people listen and play and whistle music non stop. But the first album I bought in my life was an organ collection of Bach pieces which has the Tocata e Fugue in D minor, then I opened my way through classical music.
How would you describe your kind of music in your own words? It has been described as MPB, Brazilian Pop, brasilectro. Do you think it could be described as that?
– For me it's simple: we do music, songs, in Brasil and this means that is Brasilian Music and one can say it is MPB, it's not wrong. Of course we know that the boundaries in theese days are difficult to determinate so every thing is mixed up as do our music. We're just still calling it Brasilian 'cause of a very particular way of treating songs we use to have here and it is present in our music today yet.
Can you tell me more about the band you work with Moreno+2?
– Domenico is an Artist, a visual artist too, a painter, and came from the middle of Samba. He is also a very skilled composer as is his father and we finished this year his own album Domenico+2 "Sincerely Hot", filled of his songs. Kassin is a DJ and a Producer, and he has a natural talent for dealing with old electronic things. He has a enormous Vinil and CD collection and a great wisdom about recordings.
Your father, who is an important name in Brazil's music history, also plays on your debut album. What are the things that he taught you about music and the music business?
– The basic is that he taught me to like music in its universal form. He enjoyed to play guitar for us to sing and I am glad he did it in my album the way he used to at home.
What's the atmosphere like now in Brazil after Brazil's national football team won the World Cup?
– People still talking about it around but i'm not a great futebol fan myself. It was happy to see Ronaldo regaining his life back after france and the surgeries.
During October/November you will be touring Europe. What is your approach to playing live and the way you conceive your concerts? Is it important for you to play live and what sort of material will you be playing during this tour?
– We like to play on stage toghether as we have been very close friends for many years. It is simply arranged, just the three of us doing what we can and what we like. In this particular tour Kassin is not coming with us but Bartolo is filling the trio with the same atmosphere, so it is +2 style yet. Friends playing and making some noise with an acoustic guitar, a MPC sampler– drum– machine and a bass. We certainly will be playing songs of the Music Typewriter and some of the Sincerely Hot and others form Brasilian artists we like.
With the "Typewriter" you became one of the artists who through using modern technology is considered to be an innovator in Brazilian music. Where do you see the future of Brazilian music? Are there any names that are attracting your attention?
– I am not an innovator. Just doing music the way I can. The modern technology helped every one who wants to do any kind of music, even here in Brasil. Now people can mix styles easily or keep doing what they used to in a much easier way. The people i like here now is: Diego Medina, Bia Grabois, MIM, Davi Moraes, Duplex, Seu Jorge, Carne de Segunda, Jonas Sá, Rubinho Jacobina, Los Hermanos, Acabou la Tequila, The Dharma Lovers, Stereo Maracanã, Mundo Livre S/A and many others.
What are your plans for the future?
– We are trying to release outside Japan the Domenico+2 album as well as the remixes of the Music Typewriter which are for now only there, not even in Brasil. After that we will try to squeeze Kassin to extract his very juice to put into his album Kassin+2; he will be the next.

MADISON (WKOW) -- Students react after a Madison West student is arrested for carrying a loaded weapon. Madison Police say the student was found outside of the school with a loaded .22-calliber handgun in his pocket.
It's a scary situation, a teenager, carrying a loaded gun. Luckily nobody was hurt but it made for a stressful day as district leaders worked diligently to figure out the best way to notify more than a thousand teachers, parents and students at Madison West.
As school let out Friday afternoon, the buzz around Madison West High School was all about the 15-year-old student arrested for carrying a loaded gun.
"He was hanging out on the streets of school property and he had a little gun on him and he was showing everyone and talking about it and saying he was planning on robbing someone," says Tom, a Madison West senior.
Tom says word spread quickly. A teacher found out and police were immediately called to campus.
Tom says, "I think he got arrested earlier in the day and then by lunch everyone knew about it, everyone knew who it was and everyone knew what happened and then at the end of the day, they made an announcement telling the whole staff and all the students what happened."
District leaders say after an incident like this, communication is their number one priority.
Superintendent Dan Nerad says, "I was contacted by the Assistant Superintendent Pam Nash who had been contacted by the school and we immediately began our problem solving in support of the school and then the entire day there was ongoing, consistent communication, figuring out what we should do, who do we need to communicate to, what form should that take and that's what unfolded this afternoon."
Superintendent Nerad says an email was sent to all Madison West parents explaining the situation. He says, "Anytime that we see a situation that we have concluded deals with significant safety issues and would cause parents to be very concerned about what happened there's a great burden for us to communicate."
It's a situation that luckily ended without incident but one that sent a bang through the Madison West campus.
Tom says, "I was pretty shocked to find there was a kid at west with a gun and especially that he was just planning on robbing someone because that doesn't make me feel safe or anything."
The student was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon and for being a juvenile in possession of a firearm. At this point in the investigation, it does not appear the gun was ever inside the school.
The Madison School District says they're reviewing their own facts, but at this stage the incident remains a police investigation.

AF arrived in full force this morning, right on schedule. As usual. Just like every other month. I'm so deflated. This has definitely been the hardest BFN of all. On to another month, another chance, and more hope.
If we have a baby girl one day, her name will be Hope.
I've decided.

Great theme! I see that you do not have Visual Composer yet. If I purchase the plugin from Code Canyon, will it work with your template? Thanks!
VC will work with Avada, however our shortcodes will not integrate as regualr VC previews, like the ones that VC includes. You can use ours but need to use them in regular text blocks.
We are adding our own custom page builder in our next release, v3.6. Its currently in beta testing and close to being done so it wont be too long now.
Hi ThemeFusion!
First of all, I want to commend you on your quick reply and for all the excellent comments I see on this message board!
I have few questions for you. I need to make a decision today, so if you would reply at your earliest convenience, that would be great!
1) I'm not sure what you mean by using shortcodes in regular text blocks
2) There is a feature that I would really love to use in the home page slider and wonder if this can be incorporated into your template. I believe it's three-d-slider slide me.
[link removed per author request]
3) Is there a way to trim the left and right sides of the sliders that go to the edge of the screen? I'd like to add an outer margin of a specific color instead of the slider hitting the edge.
4) When is v3.6 coming out?
5) If I buy your template today, what do I need to do to update it to the new version?
Thanks so much!
Thanks for the reply and kind words! And I apologize for the longer than usual reply here, we had a family event over the weekend.
1. For vC, you can add a text block element, then you edit the text block and use our fusion shortcode generator.
2. We do not have that slider, but if its a plugin then it can be used with any theme. I beleive it is but not entirely sure as that is not our theme.
3. Yes any slider can do that, basically you need to set the size to not be 100% full width. You can specify how wide it goes.
4. Soon, but we cannot give out a release date as its in beta testing. But its getting close, it wont be long.
5. To update, you just need to replace the theme folder on your server. You can do that through our auto theme updater, or via FTP. The auto updater is the easiest, just like any other WP theme. All it takes is you setting up your credentials from THemeforest account: http://theme-fusion.com/avada-doc/install-update/how-to-update-theme/
Thanks for your reply. I purchased your theme this morning. But I can't see my original questions on this post, so I'm trying to recall what questions I asked. Can you repost them here?
Also, I am wondering if I should use the child theme for the standard theme. I am not an actual coder, but occasionally, I do make changes to the style sheet for simple things like font color change, etc.
I've always heard that, when possible, it's better to use the child theme. But, this always confused me, so I am not sure which theme to upload.
Thank you!
Ah I see that too. The original post was flagged I think due to the link to the other theme in it. But no worries, it will be back shortly. I cannot see them myself, only the marketplace moderators can. But they will review it and post it back shortly.
Yes you can use the child theme if you wish. Although if its only minor custom CSS, you can add that to theme options and not lose it during udpates. There is a custom CSS field in theme options that users insert styles to override the theme styles. So realyl its up to you if you use a child theme or the regular parent theme. If you will be changing the PHP files, then I would recommend using the child theme for sure.
If I use the chlid theme and you have a new update coming, what do I do? Thanks again.
You update the parent theme. Child themes require the parent theme, so when an update comes you update the parent theme.
Thank you! Looking forward to working with this awesome template!
You are most welcome And we look forward to having you in our community!
Hi, would you know of any websites that use magazine style of Avada? Are styles which are in demo definitive can be customised easily?
Yeah there are some Iv'e seen, here is a showcase of user sites with Avada, there are some in here. Please note these are user controlled sites, not our own. http://theme-fusion.com/knowledgebase/avada-showcase-sites/
And then we have 3 styles on our demo, look under HOME menu item, then find magazine styles: http://theme-fusion.com/avada/home-magazine-style-1/
Yes we offer many options to customize the site, colors, fonts, padding, etc. As well as many different design options, options to enable or disable items, etc. And furthermore, you can always customize even more with CSS if needed, but most of our users do not need to do that.
Inline script on a post or page.
In an older version of the Avada Theme, I was able to add a javascript on a page at the top (inline) and it worked fine. I recently updated to the latest version and now the "inline" script no longer works. I poked around and noticed that when the page is generated, I see paragraph tags around my script (ie.
...my script…) so it's being treated as text.
I'm not sure if this is how it broke, but I need a fix. Can you let me know how to inline code a script in the latest version of the Avada theme?
Thanks and keep up the great work on Avada!
Hmmm I'm not sure what is going on there and cannot reproduce that. Can you please post a new topic on our forum so our developers/support team can check this out for you?

Pre Purchased Question.
I need double side bar in website . Means in single page i can make left side bar + body Content + right side bar.
Is this possible with this theme????
Currently it is now, however in our next update v3.6, you can use dual sidebars throughout the theme
It is currently in beta testing but is getting close to being done, so it wont be long now. Any updates we issue are free once you buy the theme.
can you send me link… where i can see double sidebar in avada theme….
It has not been released yet, it will be in v3.6. But it will be just like any other dual sidebar, one on left and one on right. For example, like this: http://d.pr/i/zSli

Hello, Some sliders do not seem to be imported. For instance, the following error appears when starting import zip file for "Transparent-Header-Slider": "Sorry, there has been an error. The file does not exist, please try again." Moreover, the slider for the "One Page Parallax" was not included in the pack (I do not find it in all the files). Do you know how can I solve these problems? thank you! BR Olivier
Hey Olivier!
Hmmm … did you download them from this doc post? http://theme-fusion.com/avada-doc/sliders/how-to-get-our-demo-sliders/
For the transparent header slider (layer slider) you may get a warning error when importing but it does not impact the slider, it should still import. I just tested it out and its working on two different installs. if the issue persists, please post on our forum so we can take a look at what is going on.
The one page parallax slider is the fusion slider, and is in the zip. Did you import the full fusion slider zip? That slider is also in the demo content import too from theme options. ITs the full screen slider for fusion slider.

Pre Purchased Questions:
1) Is there a way to display images from sliders with side or above descriptions?
2) Are there any built-in galleries with horizontal thumbnails (under the display image) and image description support?
3) Will third-parties galleries work with this theme?
Thank you
1. Hmmm I'm not sure I know what you mean. The layer or revolution slider can pretty much do anything you need. you can out a description above or below any image in the slider creation section. Each of them would go on its own layer.
2. Not at this time. The post slider "attachment" layout has thumbnails below the main image (3rd one on this page http://theme-fusion.com/avada/post-sliders/ ) but there are no descripitons on that.
However, you can use a gallery plugin for that feature, something like NextGen probably has that.
3. Yes, while we cannot guarantee that every 3rd party plugin works, we've not had issue with gallery plugins. But if an issue does happen, we can check it out on our forum and fix it if possible. But for the most part, it should be fine,
Thank you so much.
About 2), I would like to combine Post-slider Excerpt and titles with Post-slider "attachments". Is it possible?It would be the same for me to add a description on each photo on revolution slider: http://theme-fusion.com/avada/thumbnail-nav-large-2/
Is this possible?
2. Yes it is possible, but not out of the box, it will require development work.
Yes you can add any text or description to any revolution or layer slider.

It seems like a page builder has been promised for so long now. I queried it back in Feb – can you please give a definite date for it?
It's not been that long since we actually said we were adding one to the theme "indefinitely". And we've built our own from the ground up, not used a pre built plugin. It takes time, a lot of time.
However, its already in beta testing and it is being released very soon. You can read about it and preview it on our support forum.
Actually it is longer than I initially thought. I don't want to go on about it but I asked last year on the support forum and was told it was coming in the spring. It would be good to get at least an approx date that's all.
There has been misinformation out there on this topic. Basically we have built our own page builder, and it did not start until about January of this year. It was a decision we made that is the best for our theme and users. Building one from the ground up for a theme as large as Avada takes a lot of time, but it is in beta testing right now so it is very close. An approx date is 2-4 weeks, however that is estimated and it can change due to the nature of development work.
Please feel free to signup for beta testing if you do not wish to wait longer: http://theme-fusion.com/forums/topic/avada-beta-testers-needed/
Is clustering supported for the google map plugin? Also, with google map markers is it possible to only have one open at a time – in other words if one is clicked the other open one closes.
We use the google map api (no plugin), but I'm not sure clustering is supported. I would suggest asking this on our support forum so our developers can help answer that.
To open one at a time would require some development work, currently all of them will show open since that is the default setup from the google map api.
Can users
1. Remove pages on the navigation bar to shorten it?
2. Bold the text on the navigation bar?
3. Customize our own home page instead of using one of the home samples?
1. Yes, you can use as many or as little pages as you want in the menu.
2. Yes, with a line of custom CSS.
3. Yes, you can build your own pages and not use our pre-defined pages.
Hi. My friend actually bought the theme and I'm putting together the page (why it doesn't say purchased on my comment). I know we're able to change the typography, however, what if we want to change the fonts for just the navigation. how would i go about that?
There is a theme option for headings and menu text, it changes both together. Outside of that it takes custom CSS. Please get the purchase code from your friend and signup at our forum so we can assist you.
How I can increase the time of testimonials change ?
In theme options > shortcode styling tab, look under Testimonial.
Hi, great theme, but I have a strange problem. If I have a menu item with a submenu, and click on the main menu item for the first time – nothing happens. If I click for the second time, the page loads. This happens only with main menu items which have a submenu. Tested in IE and Chrome Any idea how i can fix this? Thanks
Hmmm we would need to see this in action, and be able to investigate. It could be a 3rd party plugin interfering. Try to disable them all to see.
If the issue persists, please post this up on our support forum and our support team will take good care of you. Create a new topic with details about the issue, your site URL and version of Avada. For faster service, please include your WP and FTP login info when creating the thread.

I congratulate myself for finally buying Avada!! I hope this is as nice as it obviously seems

I have a problem with FAQ pages. There is no section to set it up. I want to: - translate faq-items in the slug - get rid of the meta bar - get rid of related posts - get rid of author box
How to do it?
The FAQ's do not have a page to edit, but they have a post to edit. Then you create a FAQ page (use the FAQ page template) then all the faq's show up on the page, like you see here: http://theme-fusion.com/avada/faq-page-1/
I assume those items you want to change are for the single FAQ post page? Right now there are not options to change those items on the single post page. Please post on our support forum and our support team may be able to assist you in that.

I am interested in purchasing this theme because my free template that I use now is way too basic and I have a few questions..
I would like to put my blog as main page and I guess this is possible but could you confirm it please?Also, for categories, could you tell me if i could achieve the same (but nicer looking) concept as what i did on my website with a grid plug-in: http://motionanddesign.net/after-effects-tutorials/
Would this kind of grid be possible within your wordpress theme with categories?
I look forward to your answer to start using this nice looking theme. Thank you !
Yes you can have the blog, or any other page as your home page. If putting blog as home page, it is recommended to use a regular page with the blog element, that way you have full control over all options.
Hmmm, that grid category feature is not possible out of the box with Avada. But if that is from a pluign, then you should be able to use it with Avada also, but we cannot guarantee that at this time.
Harris i just saw your movie, feeling proud that it is from Pakistan, definately i would like to buy this theme. Only a pre-sale question do this theme had PRODUCT-Module like RT-Themes at Themeforest. I am looking for such thing
Thanks for the kind words, I will pass them on to Haris.
I'm not familiar with the product module in the other theme, however we use WooCommerce and anything can be done that can be done with Woo. View our online shop here: http://theme-fusion.com/avada/shop/
And also look under "Shop Shortcodes" in the menu to see all we offer.
Hi, I found two theme zip files in the files,one is avada theme,another is avada-child-theme.
but I want to know what's the difference between them except the file size.
Cause it is found that I can get the same frontpage for this two theme please clarify me.
One of them is the parent theme (avada.zip) and one is the child theme (avada-child-theme.zip).
The parent theme is always needed, even if you use the child theme. Child themes are used when you want to customize more than just our options, for example when you want to change the code. Read about child themes in the codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes Most of the time advacned users use them to modify the code. If you are not doing that, then please only use the parent theme.
If you're thinking of purchasing ANY other theme than Avada, I need you to stop and smack yourself in the face and repeat after me: "I, will never buy, any other theme other than Avada. Avada is the best theme for me to purchase." Okay great, now hit the buy button baby! #1 theme for a reason! <warning: don't hit yourself in the face, just buy the theme>

Dial Press Trade Paperback; Reprint edition (March 1, 2005), 384 pages
Its always nice to have a light sweet dessert after a meal. This novel is the PERFECT dessert after a main entree of heavy duty literature. And, what can I say, Im also a girl who enjoys "Chick Lit" from time to time. I finished this book in just one sitting, and got me laughing out loud (not giggles, pure hearty laugh as in HA-HA-HA…all by myself). There's just something about Brit humor, or herr…humoUr..that's downright hilarious (think Bridget Jones).
Ive been seeing the other works of Sophie Kinsella, the "Shopaholic" series, but I never picked it up because I somehow know I couldnt relate to it. But after reading a series of Christian books, I decided I needed a reality check (haha) and a break from 'heaven', so I chose this. Saw it on a book review from Cosmo, or was it Marie Claire.
We all have our little secrets. Im not talking about top secret matter of life and death confidentiality. Just mundane "so what" secrets but somehow we find it unnecessary to reveal, even to our bestest friends or boyfriends. Example, a personal information that I dont want EVERYONE to know (but well its out now isnt it??) okay..here we go: Even if im a dog lover, I absolutely LOATHE our other dog, Maximus. A toy poodle that always seeks attention, running all over the place like a lit rocket, and most of all, always bullying my dog, Tofu around. And when you try to be affectionate to him, he will just try to BITE your hand.
So, thats a secret unveilled! In this novel, we follow the daily ordinary life of ordinary girl Emma Corrigan. She finds herself on a plane ride next to a handsome stranger ( although believe me, the chances of that in real life– almost NIL) . She is afraid of flying, but pretending to be a seasoned traveller, panics when they experience a severe turbulence, and grabs on to handsome stranger, and somehow, because she gets chatty when nervous, reveals ALL her little secrets to him. Secrets such as:
1.) Ive lost my virginity int he spare bedroom with Danny Nussbaum while Mum and Dad were downstairs watching Ben-Hur.
2.) I have no idea what NATO stands for. Or even what it is.
3.) Im actually a size 6 but I tell everyone, including my boyfriend, that Im a size 4.
She told him EVERYTHING, even how she would lie down to her side with elbows propped on her head, after a rompy session in bed with her boyfriend, because "that way your cleavage looks bigger"
So then, later on, she gets back to work, and her company announces that one of its founder will be visiting from America. And surprise, surprise, the CEO turns out to be the "confessEE".
Sort of like Cinderella (predictability factor and not-so-chic-girl-gets-the-hot-guy pattern), she ends up with the stranger, much to the surprise of her family and co-workers, who all treat her like dirt.
Again, this novel is not so much a "blockbuster plot" book, but just a hilarious down to earth novel that everyone can relate to, as we all have our own insecurities as well like Emma. Like Bridget Jones, Emma also has her SBF (Supporting Best Friend), who's always there, and like Cinderella, she has her stepsister in the form of her cousin Kerry, the achiever in the family, whose Emma's own parents worship.
We've been sitting around the table now for forty minutes, and the only voice we've heard is Kerry's.
"Its all about image," she's saying now."Its all about the right clothes, the right look, the right walk. When I walk along the street, the message I give the world is, 'I am a successful woman'"
"Show us!", Mum said admiringly.
"Well," Kerry gives a false modest smile."Like this"
She pushes her chair back and wipes her mouth with a napkin.
"You should watch this, Emma!", says Mum. "Pick up a few tips!"
As we all watch, Kerry starts striding around the room. Her chin is raised, her boobs are sticking out, her eyes are fixed onthe middle distance, and her bottom is jerking from side to side.
She looks like a cross between an ostrich and one of the androids in ATTACK OF THE CLONES.
"I should be in heels of course," she says without stopping.
"When Kerry goes into a conference hall, I tell you, heads turn," says Nev (husband) proudly, and takes a sip of wine. "People stop what theyre doing and stare at her!"
I bet they do.
Oh God. I want to giggle. I musnt. I musnt.
"Do you want to have a go, Emma?", says Kerry. "Copy me?"
"Er, I dont think so," I say. "I think I probably…picked up the basics."
I cant control the snort of laughter that erupts, so I turn it into a cough.
"Kerry's trying help you, Emma!", says Mum."You should be grateful!" She beams at Kerry, who simpers back."You are good to Emma, Kerry".
And the next week, when Emma's immediate supervisor calls her in for a deliberation, she wanted to grab the opportunity to ask him for a promotion, and remember's the walk:
"Emma," Paul appears out of his office and snaps his fingers at me. "Appraisal".
My stomach gives an almighty lurch, and I nearly choke on my last bite of chocolate brownie. Oh, God. This is it. Im not ready.
Yes, I am. Come on. Exude confidence. I am a woman on her way somewhere.
Suddenly I remember Kerry and her I-am-a-successful-woman walk. I know Kerry's an obnoxious cow,but she does have her own company and makes zillions of pounds a year. She must be doing something right. Maybe I should give it a go. Cautiously, I stick out my bust, lift my head, and start striding across the office, with a fixed, alert expression on my face.
"Is something wrong, Emma?" says Paul as I reach his door.
"Well you look very odd. Now. Sit down"
She doesnt get the promotion.
This book is a perfect 'girlfriends' book. Downside however, is well….readers might go unecessarily telling little bits of embarassing secrets to unwilling audience…just like what I did.

I have a question, both to parents who have kids in dayhome care, and to other dayhome folks, too.
Marie is posing a bit of a problem for me. (Quick recap – she's three and a half, she's an only child, she goes to preschool two days a week and comes to me for the other three days.)
She is not terribly enthusiastic about most things, and she's not very good at making her own fun, so I find the days with her challenging to say the least. No activity will hold her attention for more than 10 minutes, 15 at the outside (except for puffy paint), and she's not keen on role-playing, which is what the other kids her age spend much of their time doing.
What she does want to do, to the exclusion of everything else, is play Baby Elephant with her stuffed animal, a beanie baby named Dali.
It's to the point now where if the other children do ask her to play – which is becoming an increasingly rare occurrence – she just shrugs and goes back to the elephant. She has been known to demand that the other kids play elephant with her, but since that involves sitting quietly and watching while she bottle-feeds said creature, no one ever will.
Just this week, the elephant started breaking rules. Marie takes toys from the other kids, and blames the elephant. She hits kids with the elephant, but that can't be her fault because "Dali did it".
When clean up time comes, she makes the elephant painstakingly pick up items by holding the front feet and getting one toy at a time.
I have to remind her not to take the damned thing in the bathroom (because ew) or to have it on the table during meals (because not on my watch, sister).
Here's my question (it has parts):
- If this were your child, would you want to know that she spends 75% of the day ignoring human beings in favour of a stuffed animal?
- Since she seems happy while doing the ignoring, should I be concerned about this or just let her go (after offering her an alternative amusement that gets rejected, of course)?
- Should I try limiting the amount of time she spends with the elephant?
Here's why I'm struggling – when she's playing with the elephant it's a lot easier on me, because she requires nothing. When she's not playing with the elephant, she needs constant stimulation and attention. I don't want to be doing her a disservice in order to make my life less frustrating, but if she's happy do I really have any business interfering? I mean, it's not like she'll be taking the damned elephant down the aisle, or anything. And as long as the elephant is following the rules (and yes, I have put it in time out before for rule-breaking, because putting Marie in time out seems to make no impact whatsoever) I don't care if she wants to have it around.
I get that comfort objects and loveys are very important, but is there a point where I should be concerned that it's replacing real-life interactions?
Do I worry too much?
What do you think? Should I just say nothing and let this phase take its course? Or should I talk it over with her parents and see if she does this at home too, and if they are concerned?

Living: the ultimate team sport
Alzheimers Research Funding Lags Other Diseases- Dementia – AARP. The January/February 2015 AARP Bulletin focuses on the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease in America. The cover contains photos of fifteen celebrities who died from the disease. Some of those spotlighted may surprise you because their cause of death was not broadcast to the media.
What a shame.
It's a shame that the stigma attached to the disease still manages to relegate Alzheimer's to the closet. Cancer used to be that closeted disease – so much so that many years ago people shied away from even mentioning the word, preferring to call it "The Big C." Before Alzheimer's disease, cancer was the whispered disease but now the populous embraces each and every body part afflicted, even those considered of a private nature: breast, ovary, prostate, rectum.

I just finished Rob Sheffield's Love is a Mix Tape the other day and wanted to add a few thoughts. First off I don't know much about music. I know what I like based on what it makes me feel and what mood I'm in at the time. That's about as far as my knowledge goes. Rob writes for music magazines, meaning he's quite a bit more knowledgeable than I am. I was born in 1990, around the tail end (October), so I have some experience with cassette tapes. Which is what this book centers around. Life changing moments (some big, some small), cassette tapes, and the songs that went along with them.
Even without extensive knowledge about music, this was a highly enjoyable book. I love the way he writes. The way he says things. The way it comes across and plays through your mind. Without giving too much away, I want to add a few of my favorite quotes. Just so you can get a taste for it and hopefully grab this book next time you see it.
"Falling in love with Renee (I can't add the ' because I'm weird) was not the kind of thing you walk away from in one piece. I had no chance."
"It's the same with people who say, 'Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger.' Even people who say this must realize that the exact opposite is true. What doesn't kill you maims you, cripples you, leaves you weak, makes you whiny and full of yourself at the same time. The more pain, the more pompous you get. Whatever doesn't kill you makes you incredibly annoying." (So much truth in that statement.)
"The times you lived through, the people you shared those times with — nothing brings it all to life like an old mix tape. It does a better job of storing up memories than actual brain tissue can do. Every mix tape tells a story. Put them together, and they can add up to the story of a life." (this illustrates the importance of mix tapes that I was talking about earlier)
I could go on and on all day with the quotes. There are seriously so many great ones in this book. I HIGHLY recommend you read it. At least once.

NGO opening statement to the UNFF 5
The NGOs present at this meeting would like to reiterate their opposition to the proposal to start negotiations on a legally binding instrument on forests. We believe that governments do have the capacity to halt deforestation, promote sustainable forest management and respect forest people's rights without a forest convention.
Forests are fully covered by existing legally binding instruments. The Convention on Biodiversity covers all aspects of forest ecosystems, including all economic, social and environmental aspects of the sustainable use of these ecosystems. We fear that a new Forest Convention will end up as an anti-Biodiversity Convention instrument. For the same reasons, we also oppose the continuation of a UN forum on forests. We do not want forests without biodiversity. And we certainly do not want forests without people.
The only trees that are not legally protected by the Biodiversity Convention are those monocultures which are classified inappropriately, as "planted forests." Both the UNFF
and the processes preceding it (IPF and IFF) have enabled countries to hide the real rates of deforestation, appealing to the false concept of "forest cover" which includes forests and tree monoculture as if both were forests. In fact, in many countries there is evidence of increasing support by governments, bilateral and multilateral agencies to the promotion of tree plantations, with the endorsement of the UNFF. As a result, we see, all over the world, a two-fold process: that of increasing deforestation and that of the encroachment of vast territories with monoculture tree plantations. We strongly reject this "net" approach
to reducing deforestation that UNFF, FAO and others have been promoting.
Negative social, environmental and economic impacts of monoculture tree plantations have been amply demonstrated. It is astonishing, therefore, that UNFF should persist in their promotion. It is clear that this silvicultural model serves exclusively the interests of industry, supplying abundant, homogeneous and cheap raw materials that fuelling and satisfying consumption at the same time. The reality is that these plantations are destroying forests, grasslands and wetlands. They are depleting food and water sources and displacing native vegetation. They also evict people from their environment and deprive them of their livelihoods resulting in a net negative employment balance at the local level. Many of these impacts are particularly severe for women, who are more heavily dependent on biodiversity for the daily subsistence of their families. As recently seen in some cases in Africa, plantations have often spiraled phenomena like prostitution and the incidence of HIV/AIDS.
We can not agree with a forum that adopts definitions that attempt to equalize the richest environments in the planet with simplified agricultural timber plantations. We insist that governments appreciate forests for their multiple values and cultures that live in forests.
We strongly support the Indigenous Peoples' statement which was made here yesterday.
We do not support any international arrangement on forests that does not fully address the rights of peoples and social justice, including international human rights, and does not respect the customary rights of Indigenous Peoples as well as other forest dependent communities. Moreover, any international arrangement that does not address the underlying causes of deforestation and forest degradation will not be considered credible by most social and environmental NGOs. Neither will we support an agreement that does not support genuine community-based forest management that empowers forest peoples.
As it is widely known, a large group of NGOs decided to leave the Collaborative Partnership on Forests Network in 2002, since the CPF has persistently rejected independent IPO or NGO participation in its activities. This is also a clear indication of their lack of transparency.
As we have been saying for almost a decade there is a need for action and compliance with the many sustainable forest management commitments already made. The last thing we need at this moment is a lengthy renegotiation of all the legally binding and non-legally binding commitments governments have made the past decades. A new forest negotiation process would risk reopening the many positive international forest policies that have already been agreed to.
Instead, we need clear targets for implementation, both within the framework of the Convention on Biodiversity and within the framework of the Millennium Development Goal target to reduce deforestation. Such objectives should also include clear targets and commitments to respect the rights of Indigenous Peoples and other forest peoples, with specific reference to the rights and needs of women.
We do not support the continuation of the UNFF, as it has proven to be ineffective in curbing deforestation and forest degradation. We would support the organization of a high-level preparatory meeting to review the implementation of the MDG target aimed at reducing deforestation by 2010 and 2015. This meeting could also review the implementation of the forest-related targets currently being developed as part of the Strategic Plan of the Biodiversity Convention. Such a review process should be an integral part of the Millennium Project.
In conclusion, we fear the biggest threat to forests is that they are gradually being replaced by monoculture tree plantations, including plantations of genetically engineered trees. This trend is happening all over the world, and it must be stopped.

One of our favorite places to go out for dinner is Subway. It's especially convenient when it's a soccer or jujitsu night.
ADAM: My favorite sandwich is steak+cheese on brown. Add lettuce, tomatoes,onions, pickles and south west sauce == heaven. The Subway at Hazeldean and Terry Fox makes the BEST chocolate chip cookies. Not like the one further down Hazeldean. (You know who you are!)
ETHAN: Subway is my favorite restaurant. It is quick, efficient, delicious! It might sound a bit weird but I put chips on my sub and other people should try this too. Subway is a good place to go because it has lots of things to choose. From vegetables to meats to cheeses – you can toast it for a good crunchy sensation. My opinion: Subway is delicious!
MATTHEW: I like Subway too. My favorite sub is a single slice of ham on brown bread with LOTS of Italian dressing (aka sub sauce)and a little bit of salt. No pepper! Achuuuu!!!!! I always get chips to go with it. I also get a 12″ sub because I am so sooo hungry. Yo dogs! You should go to Subway.

Podesta's Russia connection
Remember the Russia investigation that consumed the press like a wildfire just a few weeks ago? There has been a new development, and it involves...the lobbying firm of Hillary Clinton's old campaign chairman, John Podesta:
The Podesta Group belatedly filed several new disclosures with the Justice Department on Aug. 17 related to work the firm completed between 2012 and 2014 on behalf of a pro-Russia Ukrainian think tank.
Back in April, the powerful Washington lobbying firm run by Clinton ally Tony Podesta filed a document admitting its work for the pro-Russia European Centre for a Modern Ukraine may have principally benefited a foreign government. New disclosures revealed dozens of previously unreported interactions the firm made with influential government offices, including Hillary Clinton's State Department and the office of former Vice President Joe Biden, while lobbying on behalf of the center. Embattled ex-Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort failed to disclose his extensive lobbying efforts on behalf of the center at the time as well.
Anyone lobbying or doing public relations on behalf of foreign governments is required to register as a foreign agent in compliance with the Foreign Agents Registration Act. The Aug. 17 filings include short-form registration statements for six Podesta Group employees and an amendment to the firm's registration statement that includes a list of political contributions made by relevant employees throughout 2013.
A review of those donations shows both parties received cash from Podesta Group lobbyists.
The individual employee filings appear to be uniform and lawyerly, each describing what their services were supposed to entail as, "Research and analyze issues related to principal's organizational mission of improving ties between Ukraine and the West counsel on activities in Congress and executive branch and developments that relate to the principal's organizational mission; and maintain contact, as needed, with legislative and executive branch officials, members of the media, and NGOs." One of the filings is for Tony Podesta himself, who was a bundler for Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. Tony and his brother John--Clinton's 2016 campaign chairman--co-founded the lobbying firm in 1988.
Perhaps the reason the Russia story has lost some (if not most) of its juice is that top Democrats were up to their necks in Putin cash.

Time for another Stampin' Out Alzheimer's Challenge.
This cute little cupcake box was made using a free template generously donated to the cause by Kelleigh Ratzlaff (The Digichick). The link to her tutorial on using the template is here .
So, this was an amazingly simple little box to build. I simply cut my DP into 8.5x11 and put it into my laser printer facing down in order to print the template on the white back of the paper (so the lines wouldn't show on the dp side). Then I cut it out and voila! A cute little box to give to someone special.

Hello hello dearies,
As you can see from my mile long title, this is going to be a review and comparison post between 2 body scrubs from The Body Shop's Limited Edition Range; Early-Harvest Raspberry and Vineyard Peach. I purchased them back in May and June 2014 respectively.
Here's the thing though. I had taken photos of these products for reviewing purposes but I procrastinated. Now that they are all used up and thrown out, by some evil twist of faith all the photos in my phone was erased. So I do not have my own photos to show you (sob!) so I just took photos from The Body Shop Malaysia's online site. Lesson learnt? Do not procrastinate AND make a backup of blog post photos! Sigh.
Aaanyywaayys.. Let's get on to the review shall we?
What does The Body Shop say about them?
1. Vineyard Peach:
- Contains wild peach extract, Mediterranean peach kernel oil, organic soya oil and organic babassu oil from Brazil as well as marula oil from Namibia. The last 3 ingredients are under Community Fair Trade practice.
2. Early-Harvest Raspberry:
- Contains products with refreshing textures, enriched with wild-harvested Community Fair Trade honey from Ethiopia which leaves skin feeling soft and smooth for up to 24-hours.
Both body scrubs:
- Lifts away dead skin cells
- Stimulates skin surface micro circulation
- Leaves skin feeling softer and smoother
- Early-harvest raspberry and delicate peach scent respectively.
200ml, RM66.90
What do I think about them?
These scrubs are different in terms of texture. The Vineyard Peach is a creamy scrub whereas the the Early-Harvest Rasberry is more of a gel based scrub. The former also has a distinctive, delicious peach scent whereas the latter has merely a plastic-y scent to it (a bit disappointing really).
From what I can see, the Vineyard Peach uses peach kernels as it's scrub. The scrub 'bits' are pretty much uniform in size and very comfortable to use. The Early-Harvest Raspberry has a sugar/salt scrub base and has raspberry seeds as well. Unfortunately the raspberry seeds are a bit too abrasive for my liking.
1. Vineyard Peach:
- Lovely scent.
- Creamy texture that moisturizes the skin.
- Small scrub 'bits' making it comfortable to use.
- Easily washes off in the shower.
2. Early-Harvest Raspberry
- A decent scrub. Skin feels smooth after use.
- Easily washes off in the shower.
1. Vineyard Peach:
- None that I could tell.
2. Early-Harvest Raspberry:
- Skin feels smooth and soft for about 12-hours, not 24-hours as claimed.
- Raspberry seeds can bee too abrasive.
- Has a weird, plastic-y smell.
Would I recommend them?
I would recommend the Vineyard Peach Body Scrub for sure. Not so much the Early-Harvest Raspberry Body Scrub.
Would I repurchase them?
Yes but only after I've tried all the other body scrubs available at The Body Shop. By the time I do that this range would probably be off the shelves because it is limited edition.
I hope that this review is useful for you. Last I saw (in December 2014), both ranges are still on the shelves so check them out before they're gone.

Some fairly interesting stories in the Sunday papers. The Times has an article on the forthcoming 'austerity measures' that the government will start putting in place from tomorrow. The figure they have in mind is £6bn – serious money. My eye was drawn to this paragraph:
An area that is being targeted for large early cuts is information technology. Some large contacts (sic) – especially those signed in the dying days of the last Labour administration – could be scrapped.
The Sunday Times has learnt that large IT suppliers such as IBM and Hewlett-Packard have been put on notice that they might be expected to reduce the value of their contracts by 20-30%.
There's also mention of Mick Jagger who suggests we should have a trial for legalising drugs – select a community and let them go for it. He opts for the Isle of Man, an inspired choice. If it all goes wrong, and they become a hopelessly addicted criminal cesspit, who'd care? Indeed, who could tell the difference?
I smiled.
Yesterdays golf went reasonably well, although I think I may have been ever-so-slightly pipped at the post by some footware misalignment and premature card signing by one of our number meaning I made 4th place instead of 3rd (which had been my goal). Regardless it was an enjoyable day out with plenty of banter as always and the evening ran it's predictable course including tripple hurling from a cab on the way home. Poor boy.
The stiffling heat is still in evidence today which so far has consisted of sitting in the garden for a while, huffing and puffing, followed by sitting in the shade for a while, consuming liquid, sitting in the garden for a while, huffing and puffing…… Ad infinitum. Well we don't get weather like this often so you've got to sit in it – haven't you?
We have a mini trip to town planned to exchange something that daughter bought as she's at special school learning how not to get beaten up. No doubt she'll be wanting to show off her new moves on someone later – I shall hide.
Gutted that it's almost Monday again already!! Best not dwell on it. Have fun.

Spoken Word December 17, 2008Posted by Jeremy in ASU, Rockbridge, Thoughts and Theology, Videos.
Ryan Ferguson dramatically recites Hebrews 9-10 from memory at the WorshipGod06 conference.
I love spoken word. My soul is greatly encouraged listening to people reciting scripture. I'm in the process of memorizing Galatians. Every semester at ASU, one large group meeting is a coffee house (basically an open mic night). My hope is that I will be able to do some spoken word at the one at the end of the coming semester. Rockbridge also has an open mic night one of the days of the retreat. I would love to be able to bless the people there by going through Galatians.

La Carafe Original Blue/Clear
What better way to add a touch of nostalgia to mealtimes than serving your wine if choice from a La Carafe jug - a design classic from France. A common sight on dining tables of French schools and colleges, this plastic Carafe from the 1970's is a real blast from the cafeterias past.åÊ
This newly modeled design has been brought up to date and has become a statement piece.åÊ
With a huge following, it can found in many museums and stores, including MOMA in San Francisco, Pompidou Museum and the Museum of decorative art in Paris.åÊ
‰ۢ Stable, light and easy to use with a perfect pour.
‰ۢ Ribbed outer body with rounded base.åÊ
‰ۢ Each jug comes with its own protective cloth bag.åÊ

Weekend Inspiration
I get a ridiculous amount of emails every day from retailers advertising their newest items and in store and online sales. This isn't the best idea for someone who has a shopping problem so I should probably unsubscribe, but lately I've actually been taking away some great inspiration for sewing instead. I'm not really to the point yet where I can alter patterns to really closely match the original items so if I do ever make anything, they'll just be very loose interpretations.
Let's start with something inspiration for you (because I definitely can't do it!): Now I have no idea how to even begin recreating this but I had to start with it because I saw it in my inbox and really want it, especially in Navy, but it's $248 and that's almost a car payment… Maybe I'll submit it to the ladies over at Sew Weekly for their Make This Look section! Which if you haven't visited either sites, you really should. (If it's hard to tell from the photo, the bottom unbuttons from the top to become a skirt with a wide waistband.)
Inspiration I could actually attempt: This dress is on sale at The Outnet this weekend
but they only have a size 2 in stock. It looks like it has sold out! But I think if you take almost any shirt dress pattern, add a seam on either side of the buttons, shorten the sleeves and make it in a fun, larger print, you could have a pretty similar dress.
Bonus inspiration for a pattern and/or fabric I already own: This paisley skirt from J.Crew almost has me convinced that I should make a pencil skirt out of the pink paisley brocade i just bought from Fabric Mart.
I'm not really crazy about any of the pencil skirt patterns I have. I just want a simple pattern with a front piece, back piece and smallish waistband (just like the J.Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirt). Right now I have Simplicity 2475 which has seams down the front and back, Butterick 5566 which doesn't have a waistband and Simplicity 2343 which either has pleats or angled seams on the front. Who would have thought finding a pencil skirt pattern would have been so difficult?

"There is in true beauty, as in courage, something which narrow souls cannot dare to admire."
"Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same."
"Religion did not exist for the saving of souls but for the preservation and welfare of society, and in all that was necessary to this end every man had to take his part, or break with the domestic and political community to which he belonged."
"Just as a mother finds pleasure in taking her little child on her lap, there to feed and caress him, in like manner our loving God shows His fondness for His beloved souls who have given themselves entirely to Him and have placed all their hope in His goodness."
"Music is the refuge of souls ulcerated by happiness."
"Just as in earthly life lovers long for the moment when they are able to breathe forth their love for each other, to let their souls blend in a soft whisper, so the mystic longs for the moment when in prayer he can, as it were, creep into God."

With another pokémon under my belt, I once again tried to find my back to the entrance, but once again grabbed a pokémon. A weird one at that, not even during the battl was I able to recognize it.
Instead of beating it I tired to capture it as the one before and found myself being successful.
It was a Mawile and yes it was very weird looking. On the plus side, i ran into something solid and found out it was the handle. I had found the stairs and was on my way out of here.

2 questions Sweetness Follows and Mandolingreenspun.com : LUSENET : R.E.M. : One Thread
Why is Sweetness Follows called that it is such a dark song it should of been called Darkness Follows, but i cannot say anything bad about it it is a good song. Also is there a Mandolin Guitar in the background of Man On The Moon, just for my own peace of mind. Thanks

QUESTION NO.1: i dont think anyone is at liberty to define what that songs about....decide for yourself....
-- ms.Stipe (firstname.lastname@example.com), August 23, 2000.
I think that the song is called SWEETNESS FOLLOWS because after a dark and bad period...the sweetness and the happyness will always follow (sooner or later). That's all ;)

Weight of Average American Has Increased Since 1960/
Americans are getting bigger and in this case bigger is not better. New research from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention has revealed staggering data of the realities of weight in America. Here are some of the key findings.
Key Findings: Weight of Americans
Perhaps one of the most shocking statistics is the average American woman weights 166 pounds, which is the weight the average American man weighed in 1960. During that time, the average woman weight 140 pounds, which makes for an 18.5% increase. For men, the current average weight is 195.5 pounds, making for a 17.6% gain.
What does this really mean? If you're thinking, has the height changed? The answer is yes, but by only an inch or so. But the main reason for this increase in our average weight is no surprise. The truth is Americans are eating bigger portions of food and not enough "healthy foods" and exercise is being done at a minimum.
Obesity and diabetes rates are on the rise, as a result of metabolic syndrome, which affects 1 in 3 Americans. Metabolic syndrome is a collection of conditions that together increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. These conditions that make up metabolic syndrome are high blood pressure, diabetes or high blood sugar, excess abdominal fat around the waist, and high cholesterol. When all these occur together or in some combination, the more you have the more your risk increases, the chance of developing other serious health conditions also increases.
