hi again:-) how do i add a link to the ''more'' button on the ''services shortcode''?
thanks a lot.
Hey Sash,
more button is a shortcode within services shortcode. Use it like this:
[service title="We Write" icon="pencil" image="./write.jpg"] Pellentesque... [button url="#" style="yellow"]More[/button] [/service]
Cheers, Vilius
Hey Vilius,
Just wanted to let you know the I downgraded to the last theme, so the link I provided won't be helpful at all. When I looked at my site this morning, nothing but the nav was loading so down I went. I guess that's an additional issue I'm having with the upgrade, no images would load unless I chose "lazy loading".
I'm on Mac Mountain Lion using the latest version of Chrome.
sorry for the inconvenience. I've tackled this issue and will release an update later today. It will solve this issue and give you some other improvements.
Cheers, Vilius
Suggestion: An instagram portfolio that pulls a specified number of posts from your feed into a horizontal portfolio with the click of a menu button. I use this place to get my widget code: http://www.instagme.com
thanks again!http://www.singleape.com
thanks for the suggestion. It must be a nice feature as I guess lot's of photographers have incredible Instagram feeds. I'd love to implement this as a thank you for upcoming 1000 sale.
Cheers, Vilius
Congrats on the sales! Best theme ever!
Just upgraded and now the only thing that shows up is navigation. Can you please fix this theme!!! I tried uploaded all files again and it still does not work.
sorry for that. I've released a new version just a few hours ago, could you try using it and see if issues persist. If so please let me know about any JS erros you get.
Thanks, Vilius
Anyone else having issues with facebook & pinterest sharing???
>> deepnotion 15 hours ago Hi, I've finally updated to 1.2.2 The main reason is to get the pinterest/facebook multi-image bug fixed. "1.2 Improved: Pinterest sharing now allows to pin multiple images from a page."
This bug does not appear to be fixed. I now get zero images for pinterest and facebook
Anyone else having this issue?
My original request copied below including response from intheme
Although there was an update, it seems my suggestion wasn't implemented properly. The latest version has no image links
 in the slider. Without these facebook and pinterest will not find the images.
>> deepnotion PURCHASED 2 months ago Flag Hi, Nice theme – well done. I've just found 1 issue that is a problem for my client.
When using slides on homepage, Pinterest, Facebook, Google are unable to find any of the slide images. This is obviously caused by the script using background images for the slides.
I see there is an option for a Facebook icon – but this is really a workaround as normally users can select which image from a page/gallery/slideshow they want to use, and this facebook icon is no use for Pinterest or Search Engines looking for all the images on the page.
Can I please request a fix for this by printing links to the images in the source.
Please let me know if/when this can be added to the next update so I can advise my client. Cheers
intheme AUTHOR 2 months ago Flag Hey,
it's a good point. I'll make an update which will include image tags in Slider and Grid Portfolio so that Facebook and other services can find them.
This should come with a next update in a few days.
Cheers, Vilius
could you give me a link to a page where Facebook / G+ / Pinterest doesn't find additional images? The full page slider has images as tags and I'm able to pick any of them when sharing on G+ and Facebook, there's an issue with Pinterest, as it seems that Pinterest won't use images that are hidden. I'm willing to fix it.
As for other pages (portfolio, projects) it works on all three of them.
Cheers, Vilius
the new version is available. It should fix Pinterest issue. Please let me know how it goes.
Thanks, Vilius
I have installed the latest update http://natalietozer.com I'm getting no images in pinterest and only 2 images in facebook.
I'd like to use this theme to serve some large photos, so I plan to use W3 Total Cache and Amazon S3 as a Content Distribution Network. Can you confirm if the theme is known to work with this configuration? Are there any known issues with caching the site?
Edit: I haven't purchased yet, but hope to if it is known to work.
I can confirm that it works. The demo version is using it and was able to serve 3000+ requests per day on Amazon EC2 small instance without any issues. It wasn't easy to configure it though and I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with that. Also Amazon S3 is not a CDN, so you should use Cloudfront for that, which is much easier to configure (you don't have to upload your images to external server, just configure DNS and cloudfront will fetch them on demand from your website).
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Vilius
Hi Vilius, could you provide a quick tutorial for how to push content/images/maps to the side in blog posts? Can't seem to figure it out.
Thanks, Scott
Hey Scott,
it's possible by using aside shortcode. Here's how it works – http://inthe.me/documentation/fluxus/#shortcode-aside-127
Cheers, Vilius
Thank you, I was looking at an old version of the documentation!
Hi Vilius,
i found a very heavy BUG:
Ipad landscape orientation: vertical galleries with more than a certain amount of pictures (tested with 40 pics in one gallery), SAFARI and CHROME on Ipad crash! No problem for portrait orientation. Can you please have a look at this and fix this as soon as possible? Thanks!
Hey Martin,
thanks for letting me know the specifics. I've tried viewing a 40+ project on iPad 4, but did not manage to crash it. Are you having this issue on older iPad? Also is your project with 40+ images online?
Thanks, Vilius
Hi Vilius,
this project is crashing on IPad 3:http://goo.gl/GT1i3
Can you pls have a look?
Thanks! Martin
Thanks, I've checked it on iPad 4 and iPad 3 emulator (iOS 4) with no luck that is it didn't crash no matter what I did (rotate, slide, refresh). I still believe that there might be an issue and I'd appreciate if you could give me some more info so it's easier to track it down.
1. What iOS version are you using? (you can find out that by going to Settings > General > Software update on your iPad)
2. Does it crash once you open the page or do you have to scroll around?
3. Is it Safari you are using?
4. Could you do two more test cases and see if the issue persist. First try going to Settings > Safari and turn Private Browsing on. If that still causes the crash then please try turning off JavaScript (Settings > Safari > JavaScript).
Thanks a lot for your help!
Cheers, Vilius
in the meanwhile I purchased the theme, it's really great, but my previous issues are still valid:
- the possibility to share single photos (with preview icon on facebook and backlink to the photo)
- for my puroposes it would be great to add square format images in grid portfolios (square format is great for galleries of both vertical and horizontal pictures)
- when a featured image is not 16:9 how does the theme behave? it seems to me that it leaves blank space aside, it would be great to have the possibility to choose a portion of the photo to crop to make it fit better in the 16:9 space
- IE8 compatibility?
thanks for now, but your theme is really great, I will come back with a few more suggestions, but I promise I will not bother you much…
Hi! Great theme!
Is there a way to have a portfolio category chosen by default when someone comes on my homepage instead of having 'all' selected by default?
I have a category called Illustrations and when someone comes on my website I would like to display the listings in that category. I would still like the categories to be listed on the side though.
Thank you for your help in advance
there's no native way to do this, but people were able to achieve this using Redirection (http://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/) plugin. Basically you have to redirect your homepage to your "Illustrations" project type page.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Vilius
Ok thanks for that. Another quick question. When i click the share button in the footer, the google plus icon has 'recommend this on google' typed next to it. Can you please indicate how to remove that text please?
Thank you!
it shouldn't be there in a first place, it must be some sort of change on Google side. I'll remove it in the next update if you don't mind waiting.
Cheers, Vilius
Hi, I have another small problem. I know it is more related to hosting but would really appreciate if you can help me out.
To give you an idea, my wordress files are all installed within www.mydomain.com/websitename/wordpress files. I then created forwarding with mask to hide the above path and then linked it to domain www.mynewdomain.com. My problem is that the mobile version of this theme is not being displayed on a mobile device when i visit my forwarded path (www.mynewdomain.com) whilst when i visit the same website through its original full path, the mobile version of site works on a mobile device.
Is there any way i can go around it and have it viewed correctly when visited from a mobile device? If this is not clear please let me know and will send you the actual domains in a private message to get my point. Thanks
yes, the actual links would help. Could you please send them to email@example.com?
Thanks, Vilius
one more thing: I have some problems changing the order of the photos in a portfolio. I keep changing the order but they get back in the prevous position, after I save
I promise, this is the last for today, I cannot make the social sharing buttons appear in the footer. The social links are ok, but the share options simply refuse to work…
i lied. I think there's a problem with my installation because i cannot see the Slider tab. I tried disabling every plugin, but still no result
let's try to answer your questions:
1. The slider tab should appear on a page with "Full Page Slider" template. Make sure your page has it and then click "Add Media", slider tab should be in the popup.
2. Do you have issues with some specific sharing button ir the whole widget is not appearing at all? Is your website online so I could take a look?
3. Project image order is saved automatically. Maybe you are trying to arrange multiple images and then quickly clicking "Update". This interrupts the auto save process, thus the order fails to save. Could you try to drag some images around and waiting a bit. Please make me know if that solved the issue.
4. Single photo sharing is not possible at the moment. But this is a good request so I'll try to add it in the future versions.
5. 16:9 aspect ratio is mostly important on blog index page. There's a minimum width for post featured images, so if an image is not long enough it shows gray area.
6. Basic IE8 support is a priority, I'll try adding this in upcoming updates.
7. Regarding the square images in grid. This is not exactly how it works. Grid portfolio divides the screen into a specific amount of placeholders. In case of 4×3 it divides it into 12, the size of each placeholder is dependent on user's browser window size. It is very likely that the image will not be the exact size, so top and bottom parts get cropped in order to fit it in. It might be possible to force specific aspect ratio, but I'll have to test it and see how it looks. I guess square images might be a nice option.
Thanks for your input, it helps to make the theme even better!
Cheers, Vilius
Thanks for the answers!
1. My fault, I didn't notice the tab in the "add media" box, I was expecting to see a slider tab in the main wp column, sorry!
2. Here's my url: http://www.andrealombardo.it/ as you can see there's no widget at the bottom and there a strange clickable label in the sharing box at the right of the portfolio. if you try resizing the page very small, or looking at it with a smartphone in portrait mode, you can see another strange behavior of the widget. if you manage to click on the sharing button the window opens, but the buttons overflow the window (the text part, for example "reccomend this on Google") and the facebook one appears somehow broken in the counter baloon.
3. I'll try to slow down, then!
4. great, thanks!5. the problem with the 16:9 ratio, as it is managed now, is that a smaller image is put on the left of the area, with a gray background filling the space at the right. I show you what I mean: http://www.andrealombardo.it/blog/ Maybe a center alignment could be visually better, something like:
.thumbnail img { margin: 0px auto; }if not a crop of the image
6. great news, it's a must for many XP users out there!
7. thanks! I suppose i'm a square enthusiast, I shoot 6×6 film and my world is square! But I think it would be useful to others too!One more thing – Long portfolio titles overflow out of the featured image, like "attraversamenti" in my page http://www.andrealombardo.it/portfolio/progetti/
Thanks again for your reply and your kindness, your theme is really great, and you're doing a wonderful job in providing support to us!
Hey Andrea,
I'll fix issue #2 in the next version, for some reason the script that should count your shares is not returning any data on your site. Although this should not cause the plugin to crash.
I'm not sure if aligning in the center will look better. Basically you want to align your elements to some other elements, so putting the image in the center will not align it to anything. You could try changing grey color into white by adding this to your user.css file:
.horizontal-posts .wrap-embed-video, .horizontal-posts .thumbnail { background-color: #fff; }
As of overlapping text issue, you could avoid it by decreasing font size a bit. Try adding this:
.project .hover-box h2 { font-size: 30px; }
Cheers, Vilius
thanks again Vilius, changing the font size did it!
back to #3, I tried really slowing down but it seems that it only accepts what it likes. it's a random outcome, you can't predict if the order change will be accepted or not, and if the image will be put in the correct place or in another one! my "rullino" portfolio has 30+ images in it, but that shouldn't be a problem, right?
Maybe you could send your login details to firstname.lastname@example.com so I could check it out. Might be some sort of JS issue as well.
Thanks, Vilius
thanks a lot, the new release fix my sharing buttons problems, now the're correctly in place. one small thing though, the counter in the facebook baloon appears broken. I haven't tried the reorder issue yet, but I sent you a mail with my login details.
I found the problem, the facebook button is in an iframe whose width is 75px, but this is too narrow for the counter to appear, it gets cut on the right. maybe it depends on the fact that I see the button translated in italian: "Mi piace" is longer than "Like" so the counter on the right gets cut because it exceeds the 75px
Hello Intheme, Thanks for this very very nice theme ! Before buying, I was just wondering one thing : is it possible to make legends appear below the pictures ? Thanks in advance for your answer Stéphane
Hey Stéphane,
thanksm I'm glad you like it. Regarding the legends (I assume you are talking about image descriptions on project pages), it is only possible to show them overlaid on top of the image.
Cheers, Vilius
Hi, Since I've upgraded I have been having issues with text not displaying properly in the sidebar, where the portfolio title and description disappear off of the page when viewed horizontally on and iPad. Is there any fix for this? Cheers, Kieran
is your website online so I could check it? Is that on iPad 4?
Thanks, Vilius
Yes, you can find it here: kieranhosking.com
I am using an iPad 4 but I also noticed that it does this if you change the size of your browser window in Safari (I don't know about other browsers).
Cheers, Kieran
Thanks, this will be fixed in the next version. Meanwhile you could try adding this to your user.css file:
@media screen and (max-width: 768px) { .horizontal-page .scroll-container .overview { width: 180px; } }
Cheers, Vilius
I've just tried this, unfortunately it does not work, I will have to wait for the update. I asked some other questions recently which didn't get answered, could you give me an idea of when you might be able to answer them? Of course I understand you give priority to answering the most pressing questions first. Cheers, Kieran
I appreciate the empathy The update is already live and it should solve your issue.
Cheers, Vilius
PS. I'm trying to dig up to your other questions. Feel free to repost them if I take too long!
Cheers Villus, that has indeed sorted out the problem on the iPad, and in Safari (on my Mac when changing the size of the window). I did notice though that now the image ratio can be altered when scaling down the size of the window in Safari for Mac. Although I'm not sure if this would realistically be an issue I thought I would let you know. They are not urgent questions so I will wait a while and then repost them if they have not been answered. Thanks. Kieran
Hi Vilius,
I have not received a reply to my earlier posts regaring your updates in May. As indicated before, my homepage is entirely messed up on Safari on Mac) and on my iPad once I install the update (also with your most recent version).
Kindly see the screenshots in my dropbox folder to see what I mean:https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0tc4oy4pqrnttju/Fa0QC0KXZU?v=1mci
Any ideas how to fix it? For now I'm switching back to v 1.1.2
there's a new version available. I bet that it should fix your issue. Otherwise let me know. Sorry for the ambiguity, it's difficult to say what might be broken from the screenshots.
Cheers, Vilius
Hey there! I bought the theme and ist great, but I don´t like that everywhere in the linking of the pages there is the word "fluxus". Is it possible to use Fluxus without having it in the adress-data?
Example: it is like that now: http://www.blablabla.com/?fluxus_portfolio=example
I want it like that: http://www.blablabla.com/?portfolio=example
the correct way is to use "pretty" permalinks. That is your URLs should look like this:http://www.example.com/portfolio/example (no question mark)
This has numerous benefits and is suggested practice. You can turn them on by going to Settings > Permalinks. There choose one that says "Post name" and save the changes.
Note that if your website root folder is not writeable by Wordpress, you will need to manually create a .htaccess file. Just see the instructions on the bottom of that page.
Cheers, Vilius
Does anyone know how to actually push notes and quotes to the right of a post like here? http://inthe.me/demo/fluxus/pretty-blog-posts/
I've tried using aside etc… no idea how to actually do this…
this can be done by using [aside] shortcode. In your post content wrap some content using it like this:
[aside] This content is shown on the right side of the page. [/aside]
Also you could try using this: [aside position="absolute"] – this will prevent your main content to be pushed down by content in the aside. Sounds crazy Just try using it to see how it actually works for you.
Cheers, Vilius
Humm – I think i've totally messed up my blog!http://www.realfeatures.com/blog/
Posts on that page are nicely lined up but when you click on them the text stretches like mad – I'm not sure whats going on…
Also I get no previous / next entries on main blog page – just a never-ending stream of posts!
And when i try to use
[aside] This content is shown on the right side of the page. [/aside]
I get a box with a scrolling bar…
And last but not least I seem to have managed to get rid of the featured image option and no widget even comes up on the dashboard when I edit a post!
Any help would be much appreciated…
Edit: the never ending stream is no longer an issue – but the rest still is – thanks…
Is it possible to display on the homepage directly the Horizontal Portfolio ? not the "portfolio homepage" or "hello homepage" or "slideshow homepage".
yes it is. Wordpress allows you to put any page as a homepage.
Cheers, Vilius

Hong Kong (香港, see Name section), alternatively known by its initials H.K., is a city-state and is a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, enclosed by the Pearl River Delta and South China Sea. Hong Kong is known for its expansive skyline and deep natural harbour, and with a land mass of 1,104 km2 (426 sq mi) and a population of over seven million people, is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Hong Kong's population is 93.6% ethnic Chinese and 6.4% from other groups. Hong Kong's Cantonese-speaking majority originate mainly from the neighbouring Canton (now Guangdong) province, from which many of them fled to escape wars and Communist rule in China from the 1930s to the 1960s.
Hong Kong became a colony of the British Empire after the First Opium War (1839–42). Hong Kong Island was first ceded to the UK in perpetuity, followed by Kowloon Peninsula in 1860 and then the New Territories was put under lease in 1898. It was occupied by Japan during the Pacific War (1941–45), after which the British resumed control until 1997, when China resumed sovereignty. The region espoused minimum government intervention under the ethos of positive non-interventionism during the colonial era. The time period greatly influenced the current culture of Hong Kong, often described as "East meets West", and the educational system, which used to loosely follow the system in England until reforms implemented in 2009.
On 1 July 1997, Hong Kong became the first Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, under the principle of "one country, two systems" (the other, Macau, attained that status in December 1999). It has a different political system from mainland China. Hong Kong's independent judiciary functions under the common law framework. The Hong Kong Basic Law (its constitutional document) governs its political system, and stipulates that Hong Kong shall have a high degree of autonomy in all matters except foreign relations and military defence. Although it has a burgeoning multi-party system, a small-circle electorate controls half of its legislature. It ranks low in the Democracy Index, with highly suppressed political rights. The head of the government, the Chief Executive of Hong Kong, is chosen by an Election Committee of 400 to 1,200 members, a situation that will be in effect during the first 20 years of Chinese rule.
Hong Kong is a world city. It is one of the Alpha+ cities. As Hong Kong ranks the third most important leading international financial centre, after London and New York City, Hong Kong has a major capitalist service economy characterised by low taxation and free trade, and the currency, Hong Kong dollar, is the eighth most traded currency in the world. The lack of space caused demand for denser constructions, which developed the city to a centre for modern architecture and the world's most vertical city. Hong Kong has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world but also the highest income inequality among advanced economies. The dense space has also led to a highly developed transportation network with the public transport travelling rate exceeding 90 percent, the highest in the world. Hong Kong has numerous high international rankings in various aspects, such as its economic freedom, financial and economic competitiveness, quality of life, corruption perception, Human Development Index are all ranked highly. According to estimates from both UN and WHO, Hong Kong had the longest life expectancy of any region in the world in 2012. However, air pollution and smog is a serious problem with loose emission standards compared to other advanced economies.

Former Seinfeld regular Wayne Knight has taken to Twitter.com to assure fans he's OK after his death was reported by news outlets on Saturday night (15Mar14).
The funnyman, who played Jerry Seinfeld's nemesis Newman on the beloved TV show, was the victim of a death hoax following reports he had lost his life in a car crash.
Fans flooded Twitter to pay their respects to the Jurassic Park star, who quickly responded to clear up the story.
He wrote, "Some of you will be glad to hear this, others strangely disappointed, but... I am alive and well!"
He added, "Thanks for all the love everybody. I didn't know you cared. Glad to be breathing!"
It is not clear if Knight was actually involved in a car crash.

One of the last daring designs to come out of Colt turned the gas-operated .223 Stoner carbine, what we call the AR-15, into a blowback 9mm carbine. Man, that gun—and other makes attempting the same design—was fun. But it was a mass of compromises. Today, Stag has taken the touchy 9mm carbine and turned it into a wonder with the Stag Arms Model 9.
The Stag Arms Model 9 is a 9mm carbine that looks a lot like the old Colt carbine but has none of the faults or shortcomings of the earlier carbine's compromises. At first glance, it simply appears to be a standard AR-15 type rifle. It has the basic flattop upper receiver—a 7075-T6 forging, machined in-house at Stag and then hard-coat anodized to the proper mil-spec Type III standard. The Stag Arms Model 9 sports a carbine-length barrel with M4 handguards, a gas block with a 1913 rail on top and standard A2 pistol grip and M4 stock.
Basically, the Stag Arms Model 9 looks like a Stag Model 3 but with M4 handguards. But then you note the prominent case deflector, short ejection port cover and lack of a forward assist. That's when you know you're looking at a whole different animal.
A 9mm bolt, lacking the forward assist ratchets, does not need a forward assist on its upper, so Stag left it off because that means fewer parts to install, fewer parts that could cause you problems and less bulk overall. But the dimensions of the rest of the exterior are absolutely standard, so you can install whatever sights, lights and other accessories that you want—as well as swap out any of the furniture you want to replace.
On the inside, The Stag Arms Model 9 is like every other Stag AR ever made, which is to say it is well-built. The barrel is a 4140 steel tube, button-rifled to a twist of 1:10—which will stabilize even the 147-grain subsonic loads—and given a chrome-lined interior and a manganese phosphate exterior.
The receiver is a standard double push pin, small hammer-trigger pin lower, but with a difference. And that difference is just the start of where Stag improved on the old. The original 9mm carbines used filler blocks to remake the magazine well of the AR lower—one proportioned for a magazine to hold .223/5.56 ammo—into one that secures a 9mm magazine in place.
Almost 30 years ago, I had an AR 9mm carbine that was made to run with Sten magazines. They were about a dollar each back then, and it was a horrible way to do things. Mine ran fine, but I saw few others that did.
Colt decided to go with a modified Uzi magazine, but instead of doing the full engineering workup to make it run right, designers modified the magazines to ease the task of designing and building the carbine. The filler blocks were cross-drilled and pinned into the lower receiver, and depending on how diligent the driller was, they were in the right place, more or less.
Combine maybe-correct blocks with sometimes dodgy magazines, and the Colt would either run just fine or be a real pain in the neck. Further, if you dropped a loaded magazine, half or more of the rounds would squirt out on impact. I've had Colt magazines partially self-unload just while I was holding them.
What did the company do on the Stag Arms Model 9? Well, first, it altered the magazine well of the lower, broaching it specifically for a 9mm magazine—a simple step if you are a dedicated designer and manufacturer. The magazine well won't hold anything else, and it is solid aluminum—no block-filling gaps. Then, Stag fixed a feed ramp into place on the lower to guide the rounds out of the magazine and into the chamber.
At the rear of the magazine well is a fixed-blade ejector to toss the empties overboard. And last but not least, engineers went with newly designed magazines from ASC. Not only are they of new design, but also they're made of stainless steel and lock the Stag Arms Model 9 open when they are empty.
Of course, the lower isn't of much use unless the upper is working with the rest of the team, so Stag built a tank-tough upper. The bolt on a 9mm AR is different from a 5.56 because as a blowback design there's no need for a rotating bolt, so the carrier is simply machined as the bolt.
Think of a regular carrier, but when it comes time for the factory to bore out the bolt tunnel, the folks at the factory simply machine a breechface for a 9mm case head. The extractor is held in the carrier, and the firing pin works just like the one on a 5.56 carbine except there is a firing pin rebound spring inside of the bolt.
The 9mm bolt/carrier has a key on it, not unlike that of the 5.56, but it has nothing to do with gas. It is simply there to keep the carrier properly oriented inside of the upper. Without it, the bolt could rotate inside the receiver, and that would be bad.
Since the chamber is just that, the chamber, and there is no room or need for locking lugs and such, a 16-inch barrel on a 9mm carbine appears to be a bit shorter than a 16-inch barrel on a 5.56.
The Stag Arms Model 9's buffer tube has the normal spring and buffer weight, and the lower has a normal hammer, trigger and disconnector. The Colt had a special buffer weight—one made as heavy as possible—and the hammer had a special design. If you tried to swap out the 9mm-specific Colt hammer for a normal one, you often ran into reliability problems.
On the Stag Arms Model 9, if you want to install a match trigger, you can select from any one of the seemingly hundreds available, as they will all fit. And if you want to fine-tune it for felt recoil, you can swap buffer weights of differing masses to your heart's desire.
Loading is simple since the magazines are double-stack and double-feed. They load easily enough, although you will encounter increased resistance as you get more into the tube. Recoil with a 9mm carbine is an interesting experience. Yes, it is "only" a 9mm, but you don't have any of the recoil reduction of a gas system to help you. So with some loads and some buffer weights, recoil can be more than a bit bouncy. But if you settle on a particular load, you can tune the Stag to be soft in recoil.
Noise is a different and much more pleasant experience. Where a .223/5.56 carbine can be obnoxiously loud, a 9mm out of a 16-inch barrel can be downright quiet. If you use a normal charge of fast-burning pistol powder, you have a very low pressure at the bullet's uncorking. If you load heavy bullets, you can even get rid of the supersonic crack.
And for those who have such wondrous devices, a suppressor can then take the rest of the drama out of shooting a 9mm carbine. Indeed, you can make the entire affair so quiet that the loudest noise going on is the bolt clacking back and forth.
Accuracy is simply brilliant. My Stag Arms Model 9 shot everything well, but some particular loads were amazingly accurate. Hundred-yard steel plates? No problem. Clay pigeons lying on the hillside? Piece of cake. For the run-and-gun drills and just fun shooting, I tried both an EOTech and a TruGlo on the flattop receiver and blasted away until I was grinning. For accuracy work, it was a simple matter to take a Weaver 1-5X scope with a Weaver QD mount and install it on the Stag Arms Model 9.
Okay, so this is fun to shoot. But what else? What advantages does the Stag Arms Model 9 offer over, say, a 5.56 Stag carbine? First is cost. Ammo prices are coming down, but 9mm is still cheaper than 5.56. And if you reload, you can drop prices even more. Last I checked, you can reload 9mm for less than half the cost of new .223/5.56 ammo, and when it comes to reloading, 9mm is a significantly less difficult caliber to reload than .223.
Next up is range utility. There are ranges, mostly indoor, that are not happy about rifles. If you can shoot a handgun there, you can shoot a Stag Arms Model 9 there—and at closer distances than a .223 rifle would be allowed, too.
For home defense, a 9mm carbine offers a lot. The softer recoil, lower noise and ease of handling of ARs in general puts a Stag Arms Model 9 on the first page of choices. Next, it will work with all the usual high-tech hollowpoint defensive loads, and you'll get increased velocity as well—depending on the powder used in a particular load. With faster-burning powder, you'll see minimal velocity increase when you go from, say, a four-inch pistol to a 16-inch carbine, but with slower-burning powder, you can gain as much as 200 fps.
When my gun club began 3 Gun competition, we shot 9mm carbines as well as other rifles. Then we began using them in our regular IPSC handgun matches. What we found was that a C-class shooter firing a 9mm carbine could give an A-class shooter with a handgun a hard time. If the carbine shooter put a red-dot sight on his 9mm, he could beat the times and scores of anyone in the match, even the club champion. That's how much of a speed and accuracy advantage a 9mm carbine has over a 9mm handgun.
Someone is sure to complain that by making the lower 9mm-specific, Stag has made it impossible to rebuild the Model 9 to a 5.56. Why would anyone want to? Given the current price range and availability of AR-15 rifles, just buy a whole .223/5.56 rifle instead of the parts and hassle to rebuild the Stag Arms Model 9.
The Stag Arms Model 9 can also be had with the clever and handy Diamondhead VRS-T free-float handguard. And because it's a Stag, it's also available in a left-hand version. The Model 9 is fun to shoot, economical, accurate, fast and able to accept all the normal accessories—and unlike past Stoner 9mm carbines it's totally reliable and not the least bit fussy. What are you waiting for?

The 1911 is a classic firearm. Designed by John Browning for Colt and adopted by the U.S. military just before World War I, it has remained a weapon of choice not only for many military personnel and police officers, but a growing number of concealed carry permit holders around the country as well.
The 1911 went through slight changes during it's early years, as battlefield testing showed where improvements could be made. With these changes came new designations, like 1911-A1, but the "1911" moniker never left.
Once Colt's patents on the weapon expired and other companies began making the gun, a large number options began to be introduced, but these were options in size, weight, sight configuration, materials used, etc., not in the basic look and design of the weapon.
Now, made with lighter metals and, in some cases, polymer, 1911s can be very comfortable to carry concealed. Moreover, because they shoot the .45 round, they are very effective as man stoppers in a self-defense situation.
Three great 1911s for your consideration are the Kimber Pro Carry II 1911, the Kimber Ultra Carry II 1911, and the Smith & Wesson Gunsite 1911.
First the Kimber Pro Carry II.
When you pick up a Kimber, you know it. You can literally feel the quality, and when you lift the weapon up and take aim–even when handling it in a gun store–you can feel how incredibly balanced it is. Kimbers are also very durable, and because they run a bit higher in price than average 1911s, they prove the old adage that you get what you pay for.
With the Pro Carry II, you get a 1911 that's reduced in size (4 inch barrel) and weight (28 ounces empty), and which is deadly accurate.
Because of its accuracy, the Pro Carry II is fun to shoot. And .45 ammunition, although more expensive than 9mm, is still relatively cheap if you buy full metal jacket target ammo.
My experience has been that the Pro Carry II is an easy gun for anyone to shoot well–with practice of course–whether they are a gun novice or an experienced shooter. The gun is built in a way that keeps recoil manageable and that helps make the ever-important second shot easier to take accurately.
Now, the Kimber Ultra Carry II.
The Ultra Carry II brings all the features of Pro Carry II together in a smaller, lighter package. It's barrel is an inch shorter–3 inches–and it weighs slightly less at 25 ounces.
Although the gun is smaller and lighter, you still get the same number of rounds, 7.
Like the larger Pro Carry II, this gun is extremely accurate. A good friend of mine in Houston who is an gun enthusiast first-class, has carried one on his hip or concealed under his shirt for years and won't even consider carrying a different weapon.
One thing I can say for either Kimber–I'd bet my life on them.
Finally, the Smith & Wesson Gunsite 1911.
How good is this gun? Well, let me put it this way–it's heavier than either Kimber (it weighs 28 ounces), it's longer than either Kimber (it's barrel length is 4.25 inches), it has old fashioned wooden grips whereas the Kimbers have sleek black synthetic ones, and it is not even in production any longer–yet I have included it in my list of three 1911s for your consideration.
Why? Because this particular 1911 is so accurate, so easy to shoot, and so reliable that if I have a friend who is shopping for their first 1911, I tell them to look for a used Smith & Wesson Gunsite 1911 while they are looking at new guns from other companies.
This gun is absolutely reliable, extremely accurate, and still light enough that you can carry it concealed under a jacket or coat with no problem.
An important note on any of the three 1911s I've reviewed here: these guns are more expensive than other handguns I've covered in past reviews. You'll be in the $1100.00 to $1400.00 price range when you go to buy one (with current demand, the prices may be higher).
But here's the good news: No matter which of the three you get, you're buying something that will last a lifetime.

Baking Bree has been available on Amazon for three weeks now, and while the reviews are slow to come in, the feedback has been wonderful. When I set out to write a book that centered around food, I knew that there must be a way to incorporate it into the blossoming romance between Bree and Simon, her cooking instructor.
For things to heat up outside of the classroom, I decided to use Simon's knowledge of baking and pastry making to whip up a delectable spread of desserts to tantalize Bree's tastebuds.
Each dish had to jump off the page (ok, screen) and into the reader's mouth, making them crave the next bite as much as Bree was. To do this, I picked textural, aromatic, and flavorful dishes that, when paired with the right wines, work together to completely seduce the senses.
Sound delicious? You can pick up a copy of the book on Amazon, and check out the scene for yourself (Chapter 15). And if you review the book (please please please!) and shoot me an email, I'll put you on a list to receive the sequel, Starting from Scratch, for free!
Of course I have to get around to actually starting that one, so in the meantime, let's start the seduction 😉 Continue reading

This super-exclusive "secret" show in the stunning Williamsburg Savings Bank served as his backdrop with custom photography by 13th Witness and videography by Kenzo Digital. The concert was covered in a slew of media before it even began due to our unique invite mechanism of a special Nokia phone uploaded with specific instructions leading towards the venue.

Then you are mind reader . . . Because NO WHERE in his posts or the examples does the poster state this or offer evidence to support that point. A few talking points, from an article, about the duality and polarized support for/against Obama does not make that point or support it. Beside that, the topic is hypnosis and if it is a factor in Obama's support . . . which the poster's entry doesn't support/refute . . . However, you seem to think it's a post about qualifications and the propaganda that goes along with any campaign (McCain's black child, Swift Boat Vets, etc) . . . if that is the case, then his post is off topic . . . and yours is supporting propaganda unrelated to the topic and biased.
SO . . . since we've concluded this is off topic . . . I expect your post to be deleted, as it doesn't serve the current conversation. I won't stoop to partisan media hype for either candidate, as I don't support either.
This one I have seen a thousand times, and if you or anyone else responding to my first post which IS regarding the OP doesn't like what I say when you or anyone else asks additional questions that I am willing to furnish my best answers for when I can, then I suggest you advise THEM not to ask questions that in effect end up derailing the thread.
That includes THIS attempt to use your disagreement with my posting answers which you apparently can only argue with behind the guise for your "genuine" caring concern the OP thread doesn't get derailed going as far as leading the MODs hinting they should remove them.
No body likes a thread derailed and I apologize for answering opinions contrary or requests that insist I elaborate.
Another thing I will suggest NOBODY likes, is tantamount to something most of us have seen or done when we were 6 years old but learned rather quickly by the disdain people have for it, even those compelled to enforce it or in this case the mods albeit their duty to obey such a person asking the violator be prosecuted or rule be enforced.
I think I can safely say even they would agree that Nobody, but nobody,,
likes a Tattle tale.

I find it very interesting that such dramatic defense is in order whenever any question in regards to Obama is asked.
Capital letters, representing shouting are very common, especially when invoked during a Obama/praise Obama/fear declaration is present.
This subjects Obama/praise Obama/fear declaration often sounds as if a subject is talking to and warning himself.
Please refer to prior example post, Here:
Here is an example I came accross on another thread, I have ommitted the name:
e.g."I like Obama if he is the president he says he will be but I got to admit it seems strange how he came on the scene like out of no where and how his name is so close to Osama and Sadam Hussein two people the U.S invaded countries over.
I suppose you can find a conspiracy in anything if you look hard enough."

How does the extreme polarization of your first post support or refute the claim that Obama is some sort of Manchurian-Svengali?
Please take note of your own phrasing of "Obama is some sort of Manchurian-Svengali?"
Articulate to be sure, but there are other less dramatic terms that would do. A statement that brings to mind, mystique, a powerful perhaps omnipotent, but evil person.
A messiah is omnipotent. The subject of messiah appears very frequently in relation to Obama. The google trend indicates the popularity of these search parameters, Obama messiah. The graph also indicates particular spikes of such searches in relation to Obama. Hence, it is very relevant.
More quotes and links? I agree it's interesting info, but how does it relate to this topic. Could you please take a stand and tie it in to the current discussion. How does the extreme polarization of your first post support or refute the claim that Obama is some sort of Manchurian-Svengali? How does your programming and brainwashing info support or refute one side of this debate? Are you posting this as general info? Do you have knowledge of how these phenomena work or did you simply google psych terms based on things being discussed here?
Now Can we get back on topic please

Hitler frequently comes up in their defense of Obama.
Sorry, I did miss that. And point 1, it is not anchoring phrases being referred to it is pacing and leading being referred to in the examples of "the time is now" and "I stand before you tonight"
While McCain's use of "My Friends" could also be a pacing and leading, "Who is Barack Obama?" could not. The method of pacing is to constantly give the subject "truth" statements. Asking "Who is Barack Obama?" reverts the mind back to critical thinking. Pacing and leading is designed to turn off or bypass critical thinking.
Yes effective public speakers use many of the same techniques that are used in Ericksonian Hypnosis/NLP. The difference is, they also present you with information or questions that brings your mind back to critical thinking.
Barack Obama's speeches (at least the ones footnoted in the article) do not. They just apply layer upon layer of NLP techniques with nothing to trigger the listener back to critical thinking.
I don't deny for one moment that it is effective, in fact I completely agree, it is amazingly effective.
But if you continue on, the author, after discussing the different techniques, and citing source in footnote, presents a video clip that you can view, with the information previously presented. The reader is then left to make up their own mind.
No one ever said we all have to agree
Yes these techniques are used for communication and persuasion, salesmen have training course, as do many other professionals, I don't dispute that. Again, the difference lies in this: Does the person using the techniques ever present a statement or question that reverts the listener back to critical thinking, or do they simply layer the different techniques on top of one another and never bring the listener back to critical thinking. By not returning the listener back to critical thinking, it can be argued that the intended purpose is, in fact, hypnosis of the subject.

LONDON, Sept 19 (Reuters) - Three banks have lined up around €430m of leveraged loans to back private equity firm CVC Capital Partners' acquisition of the remaining assets in Teva Pharmaceutical Industries' women's health business, banking sources said.
Israel-based Teva said on Monday it would sell the remaining assets in its women's health business for US$1.38bn.
It will use proceeds from these sales, along with those from its recently announced US$1.1bn sale of contraceptive brand Paragard to a unit of Cooper Cos, to repay debt, the company said.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse and Jefferies are leading the leveraged loan financing that is expected to include around a €375m term loan as well as undrawn facilities, the sources said.
CVC was not immediately available to comment.
The loan is unlikely to launch for syndication until November given it is a carve-out from a public company, the sources said.
Israel-based Teva, the world's largest maker of generic drugs, has been looking at divestures to help reduce its US$35bn debt pile. (Editing by Christopher Mangham)

There are many people who play basketball wearing casual shoes only which is surely not right as outdoor games are played in a rough surface hence they demand solid shoes that can prevent feet injury. So wearing the right shoes for outdoor games is very important. Before buying a pair of basketball shoes for outdoor games for you, you must consider a few important factors that are listed below:
- Quality– The shoes that you wear for outdoor basketball must be sturdy, durable and resilient to resist abrasion of the rough surface. Also the shoes must be made from superior quality shock absorbing material so that it can offer shock absorption to ensure the greater comfort level.
- Comfort– Another important factor that must be considered is the comfort. Some shoes are heavier in weight; avoid such shoes as they will make you uncomfortable. Try many shoes, walk around the store to check the comfort level. If you find any kind of discomfort or pain in the feet simply reject and try another. Ensure that you check out many shoes and buy only when you are satisfied with the level of comfort.
- Size– Shoe size matters. There are many individuals who go crazy on the color and design of the shoes hence compromise on the bit smaller size say from 7 to 6 sizes, which is absolutely very wrong. You should never buy the shoes merely considering their design and pattern. Also never buy the shoes that are bigger than your actual feet size. Always prefer right sized shoes for best performance.
- Breathability– While buying the outdoor basketball shoes for you consider the Breathability factor i.e. the inflow of air. Tight shoes will block the circulation of air leading to sweaty feet. Prefer the shoes that have mesh design as they regulate the inflow of air and prevent feet from sweating. Also, the feet will smell bad if proper air circulation is not achieved.
- Brand name- There are many good brands in the market that offer good choice, so always prefer buying branded shoes over local shoes for greater comfort.

Only five tracks from Eric Lau's 29-track project, Examples, are currently available to stream, but I'm already sold. The album includes a variety of influences, such as hip-hop, soul, jazz, funk, and Brazilian beats. All are deftly woven into a head nod-inducing canvas that piques interest from start to finish.
The London-based producer isn't a household name, but he's already worked with the likes of Georgia Anne Muldrow, Lupe Fiasco, Guilty Simpson, and Tanya Morgan.
Stream "New Speed" below. If I were you, I'd just let every track keep playing after the fact.

We have introduced Branch and Bound and discussed 0/1 Knapsack problem in below posts.
- Branch and Bound | Set 1 (Introduction with 0/1 Knapsack)
- Branch and Bound | Set 2 (Implementation of 0/1 Knapsack)
In this puzzle solution of 8 puzzle problem is discussed.
Given a 3×3 board with 8 tiles (every tile has one number from 1 to 8) and one empty space. The objective is to place the numbers on tiles to match final configuration using the empty space. We can slide four adjacent (left, right, above and below) tiles into the empty space.
For example,
1. DFS (Brute-Force)
We can perform depth-first search on state space (Set of all configurations of a given problem i.e. all states that can be reached from initial state) tree.
In this solution, successive moves can take us away from the goal rather than bringing closer. The search of state space tree follows leftmost path from the root regardless of initial state. An answer node may never be found in this approach.
2. BFS (Brute-Force)
We can perform a Breadth-first search on state space tree. This always finds a goal state nearest to the root. But no matter what the initial state is, the algorithm attempts the same sequence of moves like DFS.
3. Branch and Bound
The search for an answer node can often be speeded by using an "intelligent" ranking function, also called an approximate cost function to avoid searching in sub-trees that do not contain an answer node. It is similar to backtracking technique but uses BFS-like search.
There are basically three types of nodes involved in Branch and Bound
1. Live node is a node that has been generated but whose children have not yet been generated.
2. E-node is a live node whose children are currently being explored. In other words, an E-node is a node currently being expanded.
3. Dead node is a generated node that is not to be expanded or explored any further. All children of a dead node have already been expanded.
Cost function:
Each node X in the search tree is associated with a cost. The cost function is useful for determining the next E-node. The next E-node is the one with least cost. The cost function is defined as,
C(X) = g(X) + h(X) where g(X) = cost of reaching the current node from the root h(X) = cost of reaching an answer node from X.
Ideal Cost function for 8-puzzle Algorithm :
We assume that moving one tile in any direction will have 1 unit cost. Keeping that in mind, we define cost function for 8-puzzle algorithm as below :
c(x) = f(x) + h(x) where f(x) is the length of the path from root to x (the number of moves so far) and h(x) is the number of non-blank tiles not in their goal position (the number of mis- -placed tiles). There are at least h(x) moves to transform state x to a goal state
An algorithm is available for getting an approximation of h(x) which is a unknown value.
Complete Algorithm:
/* Algorithm LCSearch uses c(x) to find an answer node * LCSearch uses Least() and Add() to maintain the list of live nodes * Least() finds a live node with least c(x), deletes it from the list and returns it * Add(x) adds x to the list of live nodes * Implement list of live nodes as a min heap */ struct list_node { list_node *next; // Helps in tracing path when answer is found list_node *parent; float cost; } algorithm LCSearch(list_node *t) { // Search t for an answer node // Input: Root node of tree t // Output: Path from answer node to root if (*t is an answer node) { print(*t); return; } E = t; // E-node Initialize the list of live nodes to be empty; while (true) { for each child x of E { if x is an answer node { print the path from x to t; return; } Add (x); // Add x to list of live nodes; x->parent = E; // Pointer for path to root } if there are no more live nodes { print ("No answer node"); return; } // Find a live node with least estimated cost E = Least(); // The found node is deleted from the list of // live nodes } }
Below diagram shows the path followed by above algorithm to reach final configuration from given initial configuration of 8-Puzzle. Note that only nodes having least value of cost function are expanded.

MOMMILK! Such a cute name, isn't it? How about if you translate it into Bahasa? Haha. Creative and easy to remember ya! Do you wanna know about Mommilk? Here we go, let's take a journey with me!
Mommilk is a new-comer cafe around Benton Junction, Lippo Karawaci. If I'm not mistaken, previously used by Istana Nelayan. You'll easily found this cafe, near the entrance of Benton Juntion, if you're driving a car, hehe. When you looked up to this cafe, from the outside, it looks like a barn. But the 'name' of Mommilk is put too high and quite small, I think make it bigger is better, IMHO.
Let's come, foodie! Can you imagine the cafe's theme? Rustic Cafe, looks like unfinished building but really comfy. When you stepped in, you'll look a giant menu hang on the wall with light bulbs as the decoration. Unique, the atmosphere will take you like in the era of the 2000s, hehe.
There's a giant typo! Very catchy!
And now, we looked for the environment around here. All of the furniture, like the tables and chairs are made from wood - it will make your warm and keep stay here. Beside that, I can feel the minimalist and welcome concept too.
Another surprise for you, tadaaaa! There's a huge blackboard - one of the side of this cafe - with a hand drawing story about Mommilk, use chalks. Wanna try to draw on there? Don't try it without permission, okay? Hehe.
A little gift from Mommilk! Because this cafe recently opened, so for you who stop by here, can get a free sticker from Mommilk. Yeay!
Because when I came here, already around 3.30PM, feels a lil bit hungry so I ordered a little snack, Mom's Platter (IDR 20.000) which consist of samosa, french fries, nuggets, onion ring and sausages. The taste is quite good but less attention of food presentation. I think, it's not good enough to be presented to the customer.
The second dish, ordered by my friend, Dinda. She ordered Mom's Fried Rice (IDR 18.000) - consist of beef sausages and egg, such a quite plain fried rice which is wrapped by egg. And again, the food presentation is less tempting, less likely something to have garnish for this food, so it looks more yummy.
MOMMILK! Here it is, the signature of this cafe is their MILK! Without thinking twice, I just asked to the waitress about the favorite drinks, and she said Mom's Milk Cookies and Mom's Milk Caramel. So, I ordered one of them, Mom's Milk Cookies. And Mom's Milk Banana has ordered by Dinda. When we tasted it. "Oh my goodness, this milk is so fresh and hmm...!" We regret ordering for a small size, and for the next, should ordered the king size! FYI, this drinks was available in two sizes : regular (IDR 16.000) and king size (IDR 21.000).
Another uniqueness from here! When you ordered any cold milks, you can asked about a straw glasses! Use your glasses and drink it! Have you ever tried it before? If not, you can try it here. Full of happiness!

Google Maps for Android is adding a new feature to help you venture out more. The new Explore feature is signified by a button that pops up next to the compass button in the bottom right corner of the screen. Tapping on it brings up the Explore menu, a list of new and interesting places to discover around you. The list is intuitive, changing depending on the time of day so that you won't get suggestions for nightclubs at 9 a.m.
The Explore options also change depending on the weather so that you won't get told to go on a nature hike during a rainstorm. All in all, the Explore feature adds a nice boost to the rather stark Google Maps experience. Right now, Explore is only available in specific areas, but it will expand as time goes on. The change is also on Google's end, so you won't get Explore until Google pushes it to you. If, however, you don't have Google Maps installed, then simply follow the link below to get it.

Facebook user Rachel Taylor shared a story about her shopping experience at Old Navy. Taylor says she was hurt after a teenage girl held up a plus size American Flag shirt and laughed, saying, "Look! Me and so-and-so can fit into this tank top." Taylor heard the conversation and said she went out to her car to cry. Then, Taylor got some personal strength. Taylor said she went back into Old Navy, put on the tank top and took a picture of herself. The picture and message has gone viral.

The first stanza is about how they envision us using their music... in the car, in the bedside stereo, and they hope some of their music really connects sometimes.
A stanza about kids coming home from school, with a chance to lose themselves in Gomezland for a bit.
A stanza about all the fuss that is done to get ready for work, only to get the blues about it once we arrive only to keeping running around with a million things to do.
Well who is going to take it like this? You are!!! Brilliant. It's a jab at all of those 9 to fiver's who complain about the drudgery of work, only to do nothing about it. By taking a shot at these people, it's also a motivational kick in the butt to actually do something about it other than complain! With the army beat, it brings on a more revolutionary tone.
Great tune again, it'll have you tapping your feet and changing your life.

The Pench Tiger Reserve has a brand new library - thanks to the folks at Conservation Wildlands Trust. And we were happy to hear that many of our books are also available at the library.
Via the e-base blog
The E-Base library is a humble attempt to open up the world of books to the students of Pench. The importance of reading for a holistic education cannot be discounted and the E-Base library strives to fill this gap that exists by bringing to the students books from all around the world. With a choice of books on biodiversity, science, environmental conservation, Gondi folktales and encyclopedias, in both, Hindi and English, the library not only augments their general awareness and knowledge of their surroundings and its relation to the world but also inculcates an appreciation for their rich Gondi roots.
Love this photo (by Monica Szczupider) which was shared by the Conservation Wildlands Trust on their Facebook page.
Students enjoying the wonderful books by Pratham Books at the E-Base library in the Pench Tiger Reserve.
This is the first time the students from this region have had a library at their doorstep!
Thank you, Pratham Books, for making this library project see the light of day through your fantastic and very economic books. There truly is a book in every child's hands!Read more about the inauguration of the E-base library.
Wishing all the kiddos at the E-Base library a wonderful and joyous reading journey ahead!

From Our Editors
The scent of seared meats and seafood graces the air at E-Pin Grill House. Diners take charge of their meals here, selecting and seasoning foods from the array on their tables before cooking them on the tabletop grill—instead of asking them pointed questions on the tabletop grill. Alternatively, guests can defer to sushi chefs, who slice bright pink cuts of tuna for sashimi platters and maki rolls. They can also pack crimson bento boxes with steaming arrangements of bibimbap and tempura.
