The hollow of the Janiculum between S. Onofrio and the Monte Mario is believed to have been the site of Etruscan divination.
" Fauni vatesque canebant." Ennius.
Hence the name, which is now only used in regard to the Papal palace and the Basilica of S. Peter, but which was once applied to the whole district between the foot of the hill and the Tiber near S. Angelo.
"...Ut paterni Fluminis ripae, simul et jocosa Redderet laudes tibi Vaticani Montis imago."
Horace, Qd. i. 20..
Tacitus speaks of the unwholesome air of this quarter. In this district was the Circus of Caligula, adjoining the gardens of his mother Agrippina, decorated by the obelisk which now stands in the front of S. Peter's, near which many believe that S. Peter suffered martyrdom.
Here Seneca describes that while Caligula was walking by torchlight he amused himself by the slaughter of a number of distinguished persons -senators and Roman ladies. Afterwards it became the Circus of Nero, who from his adjoining gardens used to watch the martyrdom of the Christians I - mentioned by Suetonius as " a race given up to a new and evil superstition "- and who used their living bodies, covered with pitch and set on fire, as torches for his nocturnal promenades.
The first residence of the Popes at the Vatican was erected by S. Symmachus (A.D.498-5I4) near the forecourt of the old S. Peter's, and here Charlernagne is believed to have resided on the occasion of his several visits to Rome during the reigns of Adrian I. (772-795) and Leo III. (795-816). During the Twelfth Century this ancient palace having fallen into decay, it was rebuilt in the Thirteenth by Innocent III. It was greatly enlarged by Nicholas III. (127 781); but the Lateran continued to be the Papal residence, and the Vatican palace was only used on state occasions, and for the reception of any foreign sovereigns visiting Rome. After the return of the Popes from Avignon, the Lateran palace had fallen into decay, and, for the sake of the greater security afforded by the vicinity of S. Angelo, it was determined to make the Pontifical residence at the Vatican, and the first Conclave was held there in 1378. In order to increase its security, John XXIII. constructed the covered passage to S. Angelo in 1410. Nicholas V. (1447-55) had the idea of making it the most magnificent palace in the world, and of uniting in it all the government offices and dwellings of the cardinals. He wished to make it for Christendom that which the Milliarium Aureum in the Forum was to the Roman Empire, the centre whence all the messengers of the spiritual empire should go forth, bearing words of life, truth, and peace. Unfortunately Nicholas died before he could carry out his designs. The building which he commenced was finished by Alexander VI., and still exists under the name of Tor di Borgia. In the reign of this Pope, his son Cesare murdered Alphonso, Duke of Bisceglia, husband of his sister Lucrezia, in the Vatican (August 18, 1500). To Paul II. was due the Court of S. Damasus. In 1473 Sixtus IV. built the Sixtine Chapel, and in 1490 "the Belvedere" was erected as a separate garden-house by Innocent VIII. from designs of Antonio da Pollajuolo. Julius IL, with the aid of Bramante, united this villa to the palace by means of one vast courtyard, and erected the Loggie around the court of Damasus; he also laid the foundation of the Vatican Museum in the gardens of the Belvedere. The Loggie were completed by Leo X.; the Sala Regia and the Paoline Chapel were built by Paul III. Sixtus V. divided the great court of Bramante into two by the erection of the library, and began the present residence of the Popes, which was finished by Clement VIII. (1592-1605). Urban VIII. built the Scala Regia; Clement XIV. and Pius VI., the Museo Pio-Clementino (for which the latter pulled down the chapel of Innocent VIII., full of precious frescoes by Mantegna); Pius VII., the Braccio Nuovo; Leo XIL, the picture-gallery; Gregory XVL, the Etruscan Museum, and Pius IX., the handsome staircase leading to the court of Bramante.
The length of the Vatican Palace is 1151 English feet; its breadth, 767. It has eight grand staircases, twenty courts, and is said to contain 11,000 chambers of different sizes.
The principal entrance to the Vatican is at the end of the right colonnade of S. Peter's. Hence a door on the right opens upon the staircase leading to the Cortile di S. Damaso, and is the nearest way to all the collections, and the one by which visitors were admitted until the fall of the Papal government. The fountain of the Cortile, designed by Algardi in 1649, is fed by the Acqua Damasiana, due to Pope Damasus in the Fourth Century.
Following the great corridor, and passing on the left the entrance to the portico of S. Peter's, we reach the Scala Regia, a magnificent work of Bernini, watched by the picturesque Swiss guard of the Pope. Hence we enter the Sala Regia, built in the reign of Paul III. by Antonio di Sangallo, and used as a hall of audience for ambassadors. It is decorated with frescoes illustrative of the history of the Popes.
On the right is the entrance of the Paoline Chapel (Cappella Paolina), also built (1540) by Antonio di Sangallo for Paul III. Its decorations are chiefly the work of Sabbatini and F. Zucchero, but it contains two frescoes by Michelangelo.
On the left of the approach from the Scala Regia is the Sixtine Chapel (Cappella Sistina), built by Baccio Pintelli in 1473 for Sixtus IV.
The lower part of the walls of this wonderful chapel was formerly hung on festivals with the tapestries executed from the cartoons of Raffaelle; the upper portion is decorated in fresco by the great Florentine masters of the Fifteenth Century...
On the pillars between the windows are the figures of twenty-eight Popes, by Sandro Botticelli...
The avenue of pictures is a preparation for the surpassing grandeur of the ceiling.
The pictures from the Old Testament, beginning from the altar, are: - 1. The Separation of Light and Darkness; 2. The Creation of the Sun and Moon; 3. The Creation of Trees and Plants; 4. The Creation of Adam; 5. The Creation of Eve; 6. The Fall and the Expulsion from Paradise; 7. The Sacrifice of Noah; 8. The Deluge; 9. The Intoxication of Noah.
The lower portion of the ceiling is divided into triangles occupied by the Prophets and Sibyls in solemn contemplation, accompanied by angels and genii. Beginning from the left of the entrance, their order is- 1. Joel; 2. Sibylla Erythraea; 3. Ezekiel; 4.. Sibylla Persica; 5.Jonah; 6. Sibylla Libyca; 7. Daniel; 8. Sibylla Cumaea; 9. Isaiah; 10. Sibylla Delphica.
In the recesses between the Prophets and Sibyls are a series of lovely family groups representing the Genealogy of the Virgin, and expressive of calm expectation of the future. The four corners of the ceiling contain groups illustrative of the power of the Lord displayed in the especial deliverance of His chosen people.
Only 3000 ducats were paid to Michelangelo for all his great work on the ceiling of the Sixtine; less than a common decorator obtains in the Nineteenth Century. It was when Michelangelo was already in his sixtieth year that Clement VII. formed the idea of effacing the three pictures of Perugino at the end of the chapel, and employing him to paint the vast fresco of The Last Judg-ment in their place. It occupied the artist for seven years, and was finished in 1541, when Paul III. was on the throne. During this time Michelangelo frequently read and re-read the wonderful sermons of Savonarola, to refresh his mind, and that he might drink in the inspiration of their own religious awe and Dantesque imagination...
The small portion of the Vatican inhabited by the Pope is never seen except by those who are admitted to a special audience. The three rooms occupied by the pontiff are furnished with a simplicity which would be inconceivable in the abode of any other sovereign prince. The furniture is confined to the merest necessaries of life; strange contrast to Lambeth and Fulham. The apartment consists of the bare Green Saloon; the Red Saloon, containing a throne flanked by benches; and the bedroom, with yellow draperies, a large writing table, and a few pictures by old masters. The Papal life is a lonely one, as the dread of an accusation of nepotism has prevented any of the later Popes from having any of their family with them, and etiquette always obliges them to dine, etc., alone. Pius IX. seldom saw his family, but Leo XIII. is often visited twice a day by his relations-" La Sainte Famille," as they are generally called.
No one, whatever the difference of creed, can look upon this building, inhabited by the venerable men who have borne so important a part in the history of Christianity and of Europe, without the deepest interest...
The windows of the Egyptian Museum look upon the inner Garden of the Vatican, which may be reached by a door at the end of the long gallery of the Museo Chiaramonti, before ascending to the Torso. The garden which is thus entered, called Giardino della Pigna, is in fact merely the second great quadrangle of the Vatican, planted, under Pius IX., with shrubs and flowers, now a desolate wilderness-its lovely garden having been destroyed by the present Vatican authorities to make way for a monumental column to the Council of 1870- Several interesting relics are preserved here. In the centre is the Pedestal of the Column of Antoninus Pius, found in 1709 on the Monte Citorio. The column was a simple memorial pillar of granite, erected by the two adopted sons of the Emperor, Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus. It was broken up to mend the obelisk of Psammeticus I. at the Monte Citorio. Among the reliefs of the pedestal is one of a winged genius guiding Antoninus and Faustina to Olympus. The modern pillar and statue are erections of Leo XIII. In front of the great semicircular niche of Bramante, at the end of the court-garden, is the famous Pigna, a gigantic fir-cone, which is said once to have crowned the summit of the Mausoleum of Hadrian. Thence it was first removed to the front of the old basilica of S. Peter's, where it was used for a fountain. In the fresco of the old S. Peter's at S. Martino al Monte the pigna is introduced, but it is there placed in the centre of the nave, a position it never occupied. It bears the name of the bronze-founder who cast it -" P. Cincivs. P. L. Calvivs. fecit." Dante saw it at S. Peter's, and compares it to a giant's head (it is eleven feet high) which he saw through the mist in the last circle of hell.
"La faccia mi parea longa e grossa Come la pina di S. Pietro in Roma." Inf. xxxi. 58.
On either side of the pigna are two lovely bronze peacocks, which are said to have stood on either side of the entrance of Hadrian's Mausoleum.
A flight of steps leads from this court to the narrow Terrace of the Navicella, in front of the palace, so called from a bronze ship with which its fountain is decorated. The visitor should beware of the tricksome waterworks upon this terrace.
Beyond the courtyard is the entrance to the larger garden, which may be reached in a carriage by the courts at the back of S. Peter's, Admittance is difficult to obtain, as the garden is constantly used by the Pope. Pius IX. used to ride here upon his white mule. It is a most delightful retreat for the hot days of May and June, and before that time its woods are carpeted with wild violets and anemones. No one who has not visited them can form any idea of the beauty of these ancient groves, interspersed with fountains and statues, but otherwise left to nature, and forming a fragment of sylvan scenery quite unassociated with the English idea of a garden...
The Sixteenth Century was the golden age for the Vatican. Then the splendid court of Leo X. was the centre of artistic and literary life, and the witty and pleasure-loving Pope made these gardens the scene of his banquets and concerts; and, in a circle to which ladies were admitted, as in a secular court, listened to the recitations of the poets who sprang up under his protection; beneath the shadow of their woods.

NYCUP Impacted Francis-now Francis Impacts the World!/
It's my privilege to see our students step into the world and begin to transform it. Francis Socorro is one of those people! Francis did NYCUP Summer 2010 and graduated from William Patterson University aka "Willy P" 2 years ago. She sent me this message and it captures "Prayer" - one of the 4 P's of the We LoGOFF Movement.
"For about a year now, my five friends and I have weekly prayer meetings via conference call. The Super Bowl was one of the topics we would continuously pray about. The Super Bowl is commonly known as the single largest human trafficking incident in the United States. Now that the Super Bowl is a week away, and in our backyard, we have to do something about it. Numerous organizations are doing awesome things like approaching motels before this year's Super Bowl and offering them free bars of soap with the National Human Trafficking Hotline phone number. Since we couldn't help physically, God has laid on my heart to pray for the hotels that surround MetLife stadium.
So I mapped out hotels near MetLife stadium. I assigned each friend a hotel that they will pray for this week. Joanna will pray for Econo Lodge Meadowlands. Kat will pray for Hampton Inn Carlstadt-At the Meadowlands. Michelle will pray for Fairfield Inn East Rutherford. Sandy will pray for Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Meadowlands Area. April will pray for Homewood Suites by Hilton East Rutherford. And I will pray for Renaissance Meadowlands Hotel. We will first research our hotel. Then we will gather information about previous super bowls and how human trafficking was linked to that. As we go about our week, we will keep that hotel in prayer and be open to whatever God wants to share with us. Then this Sunday when we gather for our Super Bowl party, we will talk about our week of prayer and intercede for the event. And of course, watch the Super Bowl!
We may not be like IJM rescuing victims on the front lines, but we can stand in the gap and intercede with Jesus for His people. Prayer moves the hand of God."
Praise God for her faithfulness to intercession. I pray that you join her this week and especially this Sunday."
What if there was a map where you could pray for your community like Francis? This is one of the tools we hope to create with the We LoGOFF Movement.

The Smartdoo dry bag and the bonus waterproof phone case you get with it when you purchase the first are both very lightweight and seemingly durable! I didn't try and destroy either but the material they are made from and the quality of both items seems they would hold up well and serve finely over the years. The stitching is sound and the nylon straps that come for both items are light and tightly made so unless you cut them or set them on fire, I don't see these breaking down any time soon.
Both were very easy to use. The dry bag itself...while it was easy to twist and then buckle, I feel twisting five times is excessive and unnecessary (It's what the company suggests for sealing the bag). I twisted mine three and then four times. The strap to the phone case works well as does the lightweight shoulder strap for the actual dry bag.
No and yes. The phone case definitely does keep dry. Twist the two "locks" at the top and go! For the dry bag, it KIND OF keeps dry. 98% I would say.
I brought both bags and let the shower run on them (I did not fully submerge them) and kept the paper phone display in the phone case and a roll of toilet paper in the 10L bag. The paper in the phone case stayed completely dry. The paper in the 10L dry bag did get some water on it but I think it was what collected around the opening. I even tried the bag off as much as possible and there was quite a few water drops that made it's way through to the inside of the bag, whether through opening it or if it was in there while it was being showered on, I don't know. Because of this, though, I gave it a rating of four. I would trust my clothes and towel and other fabrics withing the bag and for me it was OK if a few water droplets got on them but I would not store my phone or any other electronics or water sensitive items within the bag because enough water DOES reach the items inside.
I will be using these items for camping and they will both serve me very well for what I need them for.
The price is awesome too! $16.99 is a fantastic price for just the dry bag but you also get the phone case with it, so even better!!
I will definitely be recommending the Smartdoo Dry Bag to my family and friends!!

First Voyage
- Animation
- 1999
- Buy the DVD
Reviewed by Jason Zingale
t's extremely rare to come across an anime series that is not only original and highly addictive, but also has the potential to become one of the best ever. The pirate-themed action/comedy, "One Piece," does just that, and it takes only 13 episodes to convince you of its excellence. Based on the bestselling Shonen Jump manga by Eiichiro Oda, "One Piece" has garnered comparisons to the likes of Akira Toriyama's "Dragon Ball Z," and for good reason. Both series follow the same basic formula of creating mini-arcs that begin with the introduction of an eccentric villain and end with an epic battle, all while developing the main story along the way. It's like a serialized version of "Final Fantasy" on the high seas, but with a richer mythology and some colorful characters to boot.
In a time when pirates ruled the waters, legend speaks of Pirate King Gold Roger and his massive cache of treasure dubbed "One Piece." Following his capture and eventual execution, Gold Roger revealed that the treasure had been hidden somewhere on the Grand Line, and whoever uncovered the treasure first would be crowned the new Pirate King. Now, several years later, pirate wannabe Monkey D. Luffy is on a journey to rally up his own crew and track down the One Piece. He might not look very intimidating in his red vest and straw hat, but Luffy is actually a talented fighter thanks to his super strong elastic skin, which he received from eating the Gum Gum devil fruit. Only one of each type of fruit exists in the world, and though they grant the consumer special powers, the devil fruits also take away their sability to swim (the last thing a pirate should be deprived of). Along the way, Luffy teams up with a skilled swordsman named Roronoa Zoro, a greedy navigator named Nami, and a big-nosed marksman named Usopp, who uses a slingshot and unconventional ammo like rotten eggs to dispose of his enemies.
Though I've seen my share of strange anime villains, "One Piece" takes the cake with one of the weirdest groups yet, including a pirate captain named Buggy the Clown and his circus-themed lackeys, and Jango the Hypnotist, a Michael Jackson-looking bad guy whose mode of transportation is moonwalking. Of course, with so many villains popping up in the first 13 episodes, you'd think there wouldn't be enough room for character and story development, but "One Piece" actually manages to juggle its priorities pretty well. Unlike "Dragon Ball Z," battles don't last for several episodes, leaving plenty of room for the writers to further develop the world of "One Piece" via flashbacks and other various subplots.
If there's one criticism to be made, however, it's in Funimation's handling of the DVD release. Though it's nice to see that the episodes are being offered uncut and with a brand new U.S. voice cast (Christopher Sabat is perfect as Zoro), some potential fans might be turned off by the fact that the first season has been cut into pieces. These 13 episodes appear under the subtitle "First Voyage," but if that's the case, why does the final episode cut off in the middle of a story arc? It just doesn't seem right, especially when Funimation is charging around $30 for the two-disc set. "One Piece" is certainly good enough to warrant such an investment, but with the series still ongoing (and already approaching 400 episodes), that sort of investment might be too much – even for the most diehard fans.
Special Features: Funimation packs its usual collection of trailers onto the two-disc set, but the only real special feature is a cast/crew commentary on the first episode. Producer Mike McFarland is joined by the voices of Luffy (Colleen Clinkenbeard) and Zoro (Christopher Sabat) to discuss how they got involved in the series, and while it's a good listen for those interested in the production side of things, it would have been nice to see a few more included than just the one.

New starting times, other changes released for 2013 College World Series
OMAHA, Neb. -- Fans attending the 2013 NCAA Men's College World Series at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha can expect a number of changes inside and outside the stadium, from new starting times for games and enhanced use of instant replay, to changes around the stadium.
The first change centers on game times reverting back to the start times the College World Series was accustomed to the previous few years, beginning at 2 and 7 p.m. Central Time for the majority of the Series. Stadium gates will open approximately two hours before the start of the game scheduled for each day.
Another change involves the use of instant replay for umpires to review specific calls on batted balls that land near the outfield foul lines. This is an expansion on the rule introduced last year that allows umpires to review whether an apparent home run is fair or foul; deciding if a batted ball left the playing field for a home run or a ground-rule double; and spectator-interference plays involving home run balls.
"Reviews will be conducted by the on-field umpires using video review technology located just off the field of play," explained Dennis Poppe, NCAA vice president of championships and alliances. "The process will operate under the assumption that the ruling on the field is correct. The only way a call can be changed is if there is indisputable video evidence to remove all doubt that a ruling was incorrect."
This year's Opening Celebration Day on June 14 at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha will, resume a long-standing tradition of musical guests by featuring a free concert by O.A.R. as part of the band's national Sounds of Summer Tour. The performance will be held outside the stadium prior to the start of Opening Ceremonies. O.A.R. has provided music for ESPN's coverage of the NCAA Men's College World Series for a number of years with song titles such as Wonderful Day, One Shot and This Town, and has sold nearly 2 million albums and over 2 million concert tickets.
Changes also are occurring around the outside of the stadium where The Road to Omaha sculpture is being enhanced with new ambient lighting and background panels. "The sculpture was dedicated in 1999 in honor of Omaha's 50th anniversary as the home of the Men's College World Series," noted CWS, Inc., Chairman Jack Diesing, Jr. "The sculpture was moved from its original location at Rosenblatt Stadium and rededicated at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha in 2011."
New parking meters installed on the west side of 12th Street from Cass Street north to TD Ameritrade Park Omaha will be bagged during the Series and unavailable for parking, to assist with pedestrian and emergency vehicle access. All metered stalls on 12th Street south of Cass Street will be available for public parking during the Series.
Other improvements planned prior to the start of the CWS include the installation of a 10-foot-wide sidewalk on the east side of 13th Street between Mike Fahey and Cass Streets and new cross walks at 12th, 13th and Cass Streets.
CWS fans with Club Level tickets will have expanded food and beverage options this year, including the availability of beer and wine, which is consistent with other NCAA championships that take place in a venue with these facilities. The beer and wine will remain in the Club Lounge area, so fans will not be allowed to take alcoholic beverages to their seats.
PrimeSport, which is a NCAA ticket partner, offers fans the opportunity, in advance, to purchase CWS tickets paired with food and beverages served in a private hospitality tent. PrimeSport offered these hospitality packages to fans when the CWS was at Rosenblatt Stadium and it has continued to do so at TD Ameritrade Park.
This year, PrimeSport will operate its private hospitality tent in the Fan Fest area of Lot C, where soft drinks, beer, wine and ballpark food will be served. The tent will be separated from the general Fan Fest area by fencing that meets the City of Omaha requirements. Security will be present to ensure that patrons do not leave this fenced area with beer or wine.

Blood coming out of Your Ears is it normal?

Ok I know its not normal. I had tubes put in my ears about 7 months ago. They worked fine. All of a sudden yesterday my right ear became muffled and had a sense of fullness inside of it. I had already been through this before so I thought maybe the tubes are trying to come out? Of course I wake up this morning and feel the inside of my ear has dry/wet blood. Now I am a litle concerned. Is this what's supposed to happen when tubes come out of your ear? I thought this will occur if its infected!

I've never heard of blood coming out when the tubes start to remove themselves. Two of my children have had tubes put in their ears and they never had any blood drain from their ears. I would suggest you get in to see a doctor as soon as possible because it doesn't sound good. Do you have any ear drops that were prescribed when you went to have the tubes put in? Might go ahead and try to put a couple of those in and lay with them in your ear for a bit.

Thanks for the response. At the time no they didn't prescribe me anything. I went to the doctor. Apparently my body is recognizing (after eight months "looks down" took ya long enough!) to recognize that there is a foreign object that does not belong there. Basically a blood clot is developing to push the tube out. Which is causing the bleeding. NOW my doctor is giving me the droplets to put in my ear to clear off everything. Thank God. I was getting used to the idea of learning the art of sign language.

Using Dribbble
What is Dribbble?
Dribbble is show and tell for designers. A community answering the question, "What are you working on?". Web designers, graphic designers, illustrators, icon artists, typographers, logo designers, and other creative types share up to 48 small screenshots (shots) per month that show their work, process, and current projects. Dribbble is also a place where designers and companies promote their work and products, find designers for hire, and receive work inquiries.
Uploading work and commenting requires an invitation. This helps us scale the site and community gracefully. But anyone can sign up to follow, like, and curate the work being shared.
What is proper behavior/etiquette for members?
Read our Community Guidelines for tips and rules for being a good team player in the community.
How does blocking work?
You can block another Dribbble user by clicking on the gear icon on their profile page, and selecting "Block [user]". After blocking a user, the blocked user will not be able to:
- follow you
- leave comments on your shots
- add you to lists
- add your shots to buckets
Signing Up and Signing In
I signed up for Dribbble but I didn't receive the confirmation email.
If you don't see the confirmation email, make sure to check your Spam folder and, if you're using Gmail, please check the Social and Promotions folders.
Contact us if you don't find it there.
I can't remember my password for signing in. How do I reset it?
If you can't remember your password, you can use the 'Forgot?' link next to 'Password' on the Sign In page to reset it. Be sure to enter the same email address as the one you have registered with Dribbble.
I can't sign in after resetting my password.
Be sure you're using the same email address that you used to reset when signing in to your account. Also, note that passwords are case-sensitive; make sure there are no extra spaces in the password field when you try to sign in.
Contact us if you continue to have trouble.
I can't sign in to my Team account and it doesn't recognize my email. How do I sign in?
You can't sign directly into a team account; rather you sign into your personal/team owner account. A team owner is able to act as that team when needed. See more information about acting on behalf of the team.
I get a "reCAPTCHA failed" message when trying to sign up.
To prevent abuse, we require members to pass a CAPTCHA (via Google's reCAPTCHA) when signing up. To successfully sign up, you must check the "I'm not a robot" box (pictured below) and respond to any prompts which might appear.
Contact us if you continue to have trouble.
Accounts & Billing
Where can I find a receipt for my Pro / Job purchase?
If you have a Dribbble account, you can view your entire purchase history, including printable receipts for your orders, at https://dribbble.com/account/orders.
If you purchased a Job ad without a Dribbble account, we attached a PDF receipt to the confirmation email you received. Can't find that email? No problem! Contact us and we can send you another one.
Can I have a username that is already taken?
Perhaps. Inactive Dribbble accounts may be renamed or removed at our discretion. We will not rename or remove an active account except in the case of name squatting, which is prohibited. You can request a username for an account that appears inactive, but please note that not all activity on Dribbble is publicly visible.
Dribbble usernames are provided on a first-come, first-served basis, and are intended for immediate and active use. Usernames may not be inactively held for future use.
Attempts to buy, sell, or solicit other forms of payment in exchange for Dribbble accounts or usernames are prohibited and may result in account suspension or removal.
Whoops! I accidentally signed up as a Spectator/Prospect, how can I switch?
It's easy! Just use the checkbox at the bottom of your Account Settings page. It looks like this:
Can you send me an invoice?
We don't provide invoices but do provide receipts, which are emailed after purchases and available for reference on the Orders page under your Dribbble account settings.
If you need more detail on your receipts for invoicing purposes, you can add extra information to them. Use the Receipt Info form on the Orders page to add information such as a company address or tax ID. The extra information provided will be displayed on all receipts.
Players & Prospects
How do I upload my work?
Anyone can sign up to find, follow or hire designers at Dribbble. However, to upload shots or leave comments, an invitation from a member is required. Invited (drafted) members are called Players. If you wish to be drafted, be sure to check the box marking yourself as a Prospect in your account settings.
Prospects (members who would like to share their work but have not yet been drafted) can upload work, but it will only appear on their own profile and on the Draft page. Uploading your work will greatly improve your chances of being drafted.
Why does Dribbble have an invitation process to share work?
All Players (members who are drafted and can share their work with the community) are drafted (invited) by other Players. Having members take responsibility for those they draft sharpens the focus on sharing interesting work. We also limit invitations, which helps our tiny company scale the site and our support of it. This strategy is imperfect—we know there are many fantastic designers still undrafted—so our efforts to grow gracefully are ongoing.
How are Players drafted?
We periodically issue invitations to existing Players who, in turn, use those to draft (invite) new Players to post their work on Dribbble.
Players with invitations can draft Prospects from the Dribbble Draft page or by using the "Draft" button on Prospect profile pages. Designers without Dribbble accounts can also be invited from the Invitations page.
If a Player chooses to draft a Prospect, an email is sent with a URL to accept or decline the invitation.
With so many Prospects on Dribbble, how will I ever get drafted?
We know trying to find an invite can be tough sometimes, but there are a few ways you can improve your chances of catching a Player's attention:
- Fill out your profile (Account settings). Help the community get to know you! Upload an avatar and write a short bio so members can get a better feel for who you are and what you're about.
- Upload your work. Any work you upload will only be visible on your profile or on the Dribbble Draft page until you're drafted. But uploading your work will greatly improve your chances of being drafted.
- Add your skills and location. Potential drafters will be able to find prospects by skill and location, so the more info you provide the better.
- Link to your portfolio. Players with invitations will want to see your work, so be sure to add a link on your profile to a website that shows off your work.
What are Shots?
Shots are small screenshots (400×300 pixels or @2x 800×600 pixels for HiDPI or Retina displays) posted by members to show what they are working on. Some have called Dribbble "Twitter for designers." Shots are to Dribbble as tweets are to Twitter.
Is there a limit to how many Shots a Player can upload?
Players can upload up to 48 shots per month. When a new Player is drafted, they start with 48 available shots, no matter when they're drafted. On the first day of each month, we reset everyone's count so each player has 48 shots free. For example, if you have 10 shots free on March 31, you'll get 38 more on April 1; if you have 0 free, you'll get a full 48.
There is also a 5 shot per day limit to discourage a single user from flooding Dribbble with a ton of shots in a short period of time. No ball hogging!
What is a Rebound?
A rebound is a shot in reply to another shot. Rebounds offer a way to follow up and "link" two shots together. For example, a sketch can be rebounded with a finished design, or alternate concepts of a design can be rebounded so there's a reference trail to follow.
Rebounds can also be purely for fun—what you're working on doesn't have to be for work. :) For example, any player can create games or memes allowing other Dribbble players to riff off an initial shot to get their takes on the same idea.
You can see many examples of rebounds on the Playoffs page.
What is an Attachment?
An Attachment is an extra file that Pro members and members of teams can upload along with their shots (PSDs, .zips, larger images, etc.). You can attach up to 5 files per shot (each having a 10MB max). You can also check a box when cropping to keep the larger, original image as an attachment when needed.
What is a Project?
A Project is a collection of a player's shots that have been grouped because they share a common theme. Projects are viewable by anyone, but can only be created by members with Pro accounts.
You can see many examples of projects on the Projects page.
What is a Bucket?
A Bucket is a collection of shots that any Dribbble member can create. While logged in, click the 'Bucket' link on any shot to add it to a bucket.
You can see many examples of buckets on the Buckets page.
What is an @2x shot?
Dribbble allows 800×600 pixel uploads that are displayed at 400×300 reference pixels in HiDPI displays (e.g. Retina). If the device is capable, Dribbble will serve the larger image for twice the clarity of a normal 400×300 shot. In normal resolution displays, we'll deliver a downsized 400×300 image instead. You can follow the @2x link on the shot page to view the 800×600 original.
Confused? You're not alone. Web design is getting all complex and stuff. Check out Towards A Retina Web for more on designing for HiDPI displays.
What does HiDPI stand for?
HiDPI stands for High resolution Dots Per Inch when referring to displays. For example, the Retina displays found on the iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Pro are HiDPI. Dribbble allows @2x 800×600 pixel image uploads that we show at 400×300 reference pixels for twice the resolution on HiDPI displays that support them. HiDPI displays will eventually be the norm, and we're making sure Dribbble presents your work appropriately.
How do Debuts work?
Debuts is a stream of first shots from new Dribbblers. Only your very first shot will show up in the Debuts stream, so be thoughtful about your first impression.
Can I select a teaser frame for my animated GIF?
Not at this time. We automatically use the first frame of the animation for the teaser, so plan how your animation cycles carefully!
My GIF is not looping. Can you help?
We don't modify the original file you upload. Bad configuration or a problem in the image export is usually to blame for GIF looping issues. Try verifying that your original file you exported locally loops in various browsers. If you're still having trouble, you can contact us.
What is a Low Profile shot?
Shots that are not published to your default profile stream are called "Low Profile" shots. Your stream of Low Profile shots can be accessed via a drop-down menu on your profile and will appear in your followers' Following feeds.
You can specify that a shot is Low Profile when uploading or you can change any existing shot in its Edit page.
How can I leave comments on shots?
Comments can be left on shots using the form at the bottom of each shot page. Currently, only Players are able to leave comments.
Comments can include some HTML tags for formatting and links, and you can mention other Dribbblers if you want them to know you're talking about them.
How do Mentions work?
Mentions are a handy way of replying to people in a comment on Dribbble. Here's a little screencast on how they work:
How can I get more invitations?
Invitations are handed out to Players based a variety of ever-changing criteria. The longer you're on Dribbble, the better your chances are of receiving invites. Thanks for your patience!
How do I know if I have any invitations?
Should you receive any invitations, you'll see an Activity notification and they'll appear in your Account Settings under Invitations. If you don't see an Invitations tab, you don't have any invitations at this time.
A Player I drafted isn't using their account. Can I revoke their invitation?
Sorry, we can't revoke invitations once they've been accepted. Once a Prospect is drafted, they will remain as such, so make your invites count!
I tried to invite a member, but they haven't accepted the invitation. Is the invitation gone?
Don't worry! If the user doesn't claim the invitation within 30 days, it will expire and the invitation will automatically return to your account.
Will my invites ever expire?
No, the invites you have available to use will not expire. Feel free to take your time and draft wisely!
Any sent invites must be redeemed within 30 days. After 30 days, if an invite hasn't been redeemed, it will be returned to the sender's account.
Can I buy or sell Dribbble invitations?
No, buying and selling Dribbble accounts is prohibited. Dribbble will suspend or remove any accounts that are participating in these sorts of transactions.
Guidelines for Dribbble Invitations
- Please don't message designers on Dribbble to ask for an invitation.
- Invitations should not be used as prizes for contests, but given genuinely based on your interest in following someone's work.
- Invitation contests that require likes, follows, or ungenuine social gestures for entry is prohibited. Dribbble's invitation system aims to increase the number of talented designers and interesting work on Dribbble—not to draw attention to your profile.
- Please do not attempt to sell or buy Dribbble invitations, or pursue fake follows on Dribbble.
Your account may be suspended or removed if you engage in activity that violates these guidelines.
What is Pro?
Pro is an upgrade for Players which can be purchased to enable some extra cool features to help you get more out of Dribbble.
Players who go Pro receive the following:
- Playbook: A simple, customizable portfolio, powered by your Dribbble profile.
- Projects: Organizing your work into specific… projects.
- Attachments: Add up to 5 files along with your shot uploads (PSDs, .zip, larger views, etc.).
- Advanced Stats: Keep track of your traffic, biggest fans, profile views, and more.
- Customizable Profile: Put your best foot forward by organizing your profile however you'd like.
- Shot Scheduling: Upload your shot now and schedule it to publish later.
- Goods For Sale: Add "Buy" links to your shots when sharing shirts, prints, icon packs, themes, etc. for sale.
- Pro Badge: Appears on your profile to show your support for sustaining the community.
Pro accounts are a big part of our business, and help our company stay afloat without needing to resort to obtrusive advertising or other unpleasant methods of income. We really appreciate the support!
Can I upload shots if I purchase a Pro account?
Purchasing a Pro account does not enable shot uploading or commenting. You'll still need to be drafted (invited by an existing member) to share your work with the Dribbble community.
What happens when my Pro upgrade expires?
If you don't renew your Pro upgrade, you'll lose access to Pro-only features. Your Projects will disappear as well, but don't worry: they're only hidden, not deleted. If you decide to go Pro again, all your existing Projects will become visible again.
What is Playbook?
Playbook is an instant portfolio, powered by Dribbble, at your domain. Dribbble branding and social features are stripped away, and it's just you and your work—the very same work you've been sharing on Dribbble. Think of it as a more up-to-date snapshot of your best work.
How does Playbook work?
Playbook is included with a Pro subscription.
Populated by the same content and profile info you're already sharing on Dribbble, Playbook can be your most current, popular, or curated work in the order of your choosing—presented elegantly. In fact, we hope the curation option will encourage you to share more experimental, fun shots on Dribbble, reserving your curated Playbook for putting your best foot forward.
Each Playbook is responsive, and can live at either username.dribbble.com or your own custom domain. Playbook includes Pro and all the great features that come with it. Existing Pros can upgrade at a pro-rated rate.
How do I get started with Playbook?
If you're a Pro, head over to Playbook to learn more, preview, and customize your Playbook, privately.
What can I customize?
You can customize which shots from your Dribbble profile are shown in your Playbook:
- Recent shots: All shots in reverse chronological order
- Popular shots: All shots sorted by popularity
- Custom: You choose which shots are shown and the order they appear in
Additionally, you can customize the following options:
- Custom domain
- Small or large thumbnails
- Header or sidebar layout
- Background color
- Font (from a pre-selected group)
- Show or hide profile details (e.g. avatar, name, bio, location, skills, contact form, elsewhere links)
Can I use my own domain name?
Yes, you sure can. Published Playbooks are found at
USERNAME.dribbble.com. Additonally, you may assign your own domain name to point to your Playbook. Choose "Custom Domain" in the customize pane, enter the domain you wish to use and hit Save.
Next you need to point that domain at Dribbble's servers. Head over to your domain provider's website and find where you manage your DNS settings. This is where you create the record to point your domain at your Dribbble Playbook.
If you're using a subdomain (like
www.example.com or
playbook.example.com), create a
CNAME record pointing to your Playbook subdomain,
If you're using a bare domain (like
example.com), create an
ALIAS or
ANAME record pointing to your Playbook subdomain,
USERNAME.dribbble.com. The name of this type of record will vary by your provider. If your provider requires that you use an IP address for a bare domain, use
Note: We strongly encourage you to avoid using the IP address to ensure your custom domain always works. If our IP address were to change in the future, pointing to
USERNAME.dribbble.com will pick up the change automatically with no interruption. As noted above, many providers (such as our DNS provider, DNSimple) allow you to set up bare domain records pointing at other domains.
If you're having trouble setting up the necessary DNS record, please refer to your DNS provider's support documentation.
Can I use my Typekit (or other webfont service) account?
Not currently, but we're looking into the options here.
Can I add a custom favicon for my Playbook?
We use your Dribbble avatar as your Playbook favicon. We don't support custom favicons at this time.
Is Playbook included for Teams?
Yes! A Playbook for the team account is included at no extra cost with every plan.
What is a team account on Dribbble?
Teams are an easy way for organizations and their designers to share work on Dribbble. Team members can upload work to both their profile and the Team's profile. Job ads posted by the team show up on our main Jobs page, as well as the team profile.
Creating a team account
You can create a team account by either creating a new team from scratch, or by converting an existing Dribbble account to a team.
Converting an existing account to a team
When signed in to the account you wish to convert, navigate to Add Your Design Team and choose the team size that best works for your organization. Once you choose a team size, click the "Convert this account to a team" link. During the process of converting your team, you'll be prompted to select a team owner. If you don't have an account to use, you can create a new account along the way to designate a team owner.
IMPORTANT NOTE! Converting an account to a team is permanent not reversible. Please be certain the account you're converting is indeed a team.
What are team owners?
Team owners are team members that have special privileges. Team owners can update the team profile, add and remove members, and manage billing info. Team owners can also act on the team's behalf (upload shots, comment, like, etc.). Each team is required to have at least one team owner.
How can team owners act on a team's behalf?
Team owners can switch to the team account and act on its behalf by selecting the "Use Dribbble as…" link from the avatar menu when they're signed into their personal account.
Do team members need an invitation to upload work?
Your team account and all members added to your team will be able to upload work and comment immediately—no invitation required.
To add a new team member not currently on Dribbble, have them sign up for a free Basic account. Once they have an account, a team owner can act on behalf of the team and navigate to the Account/Members tab in the team's account settings. Then add the team member using the autocomplete search box.
How do I add or remove team members?
To add or remove a team member, team owners can act on behalf of the team and navigate to the Account/Members tab in the team's account settings. Then add a team member using the autocomplete search box or remove a team member using the remove button.
To add a new team member not currently on Dribbble, have them sign up for a free Basic account. Once they have an account, a team owner can act on behalf of the team and add them in the Account/Members tab.
How do I add or remove team owners?
To add or remove a team owner, a team owner can act on behalf of the team and navigate to the Team Owners tab in the team's account settings. Then add a team owner using the autocomplete search box or remove a team member using the remove button.
How do team members upload team shots?
When a member of a team uploads work, they can choose the team via a drop down menu. The shot will show up on both the team profile as well as their own, with dual attribution.
Members can also retroactively mark shots as team work, by following the "Edit" link from the shot page.
Can a shot be in a personal project AND a team project?
Normally, shots can be included in a single project only. Team work is an exception, where the shot can appear in one personal project as well as one team project. Team members will see team projects listed alongside their personal projects in the "Add to Project" modal pop-up.
How do team members add to team projects?
All team members can add shots to team projects. When uploading a shot (or from the shot page if it's already published), follow the "Add to team project" link and choose an existing team project to add the shot to. Team projects can be created only by an owner while acting on the team's behalf.
Additionally, team members that are Pro can add shots to a team project as well as a personal project.
What happens when a team member is removed from a team?
After being removed, a team member's work will still remain on the team profile. Team owners always have the ability to remove individual shots from the team from the admin menu on the right side of the shot page.
What are the advantages of posting a job as a team?
Job ads posted by the team (or a team owner) appear on your team profile for higher visibility. Designers can easily search for teams and even look for teams that are hiring.
Additionally, team jobs have an avatar next to their listing on the main Jobs page which links to their team profile.
How can I update the credit card used for my team?
Any team owner can update the credit card on file at any time. This credit card is used to renew the annual subscription.
- First, switch to your team account. For details, see How can owners act on a team's behalf?
- Then visit the Billing tab in your Account Settings.
- You can supply new credit card details by following the link in the Credit Card On File section of the right column.

How can I contact designers on Dribbble about work opportunities?
You'll need to sign up for a hiring offering to contact designers about work opportunities. Designers can indicate that they are open to work opportunities and being messaged, which allows subscribers to be able to contact designers about relevant opportunities.
Note: Making sure our designers are taken care of is our top priority, so be sure to send them quality messages and follow the Guidelines for Messaging Designers when using our hiring offerings. Dribbble reserves the right to suspend your messaging if your messages are inappropriate or offensive in any way. No spamming—job inquiries only. If your messaging has been suspended, please contact us for more information.
What is response rate?
A designer's response rate is the percentage of new messages that were responded to within 72 hours over the last 90 days. Currently, response rate is only visible to the designer.
Guidelines for Messaging Designers
Designers are able to mark themselves as open to job opportunities and messages - look for the Message button on their profiles. When sending a message to a designer, please follow these guidelines:
- Your message must be a work inquiry regarding a design job or project.
- Please personalize the messages you send—don't send boilerplate messages. They tend to feel impersonal and lack the detail necessary to be appealing. This means you should use their name, provide a brief description of the work or job for which you're hiring, and any details you find compelling about the designer's work on Dribbble.
- Please make sure the designer you're contacting is a good fit for your job or project as indicated by the work, bio and skills on their profile. Many designers also declare the type work in which they're interested in their hiring statement—so make sure your message conforms with their stated preferences.
- Have a specific job or project in mind: Don't ask if someone is looking for new opportunities or if anyone they know is looking for new opportunities. You must have a specific job or project and state it in the message.
Dribbble reserves the right to suspend your messaging if your messages are inappropriate or offensive in any way. No spamming—job inquiries only. If your messaging has been suspended, please contact us for more information.

Boosted Profiles FAQ
What is a Boosted Profile?
A Promoted Profile is a player or team profile that has been promoted by its owner. Promoting a profile places it in the third position of each page load wherever a list of Players or Teams is shown. Profiles are promoted for 30 days by default, but can also be spread over a specific time range.
Who can purchase a Promoted Profile?
Only Players and Teams are eligible to purchase a Promoted Profile. You can sign up by clicking on a boosted badge or by visiting your account settings
How do I purchase a Promote Profile?
There are two places from which you can begin the purchase process. By clicking on the 'Promoted' badge of a promoted profile or by visiting the Promoted Content section of your Account. From there, you will select which profile you want to promote, the number of impressions you wish to purchase for your profile. Finally, you'll enter your payment information and the promotion will be purchased and added into the queue of profiles to promote.
How much does it cost?
Boosted Profiles are available for Players at $7/CPM (cost per thousand impressions) and for Teams at $12/CPM.
How often will my promoted profile appear in the designers/teams lists?
The frequency with which a promoted profile will appear in a feed depends on a few different factors:

Pound, Canada's long-serving IOC member, argued that the 106 members had not been given the opportunity to vote on the five sports who had been excluded in August by the IOC's executive board. He also complained that members were given no reason why the two sports were selected.
He said: "The fact is we were not allowed to consider all seven sports. That's a mistake, it's not fair to the other five sports, and because we do not know why this was decided it is not a transparent process.
"The session was asking for guidance not a decision that would be take it or leave it."
IOC members rubber-stamped the two sports at a congress in Copenhagen after the executive board had voted to include them at a meeting two months ago.
Where now for Olympic 'rejects'?
Will not be fazed by missing out on $10 million boost that comes with inclusion in the summer Games and still has a significant global audience.
However, it has suffered from Major League Baseball's doping scandals and an inability to persuade top players to participate in the Games. A shortened eight-team tournament for 2016 was credible but at present there are just too few competitive nations.
It may be the most popular of the martial arts but poor lobbying looks to have accounted for a sport that claims to have 100 million competitors. The Olympics already has judo and taekwondo and it may take another competitor to kick a referee in the face - as happened in Beijing - before the latter is axed and karate gets its chance again.
Along with squash, karate narrowly missed out on IOC's controversial two-thirds majority vote in 2005. Administrators will now have to work hard on differentiating the sport from judo and taekwondo.
Roller Sports
Given the IOC's stance on attracting youth to the Games, this was an outside chance for 2016. The sport's green credentials also held the bid in good stead while the proposed speed skating road race required no special venue.
But is this what the IOC wanted rather than skateboarding or rink hockey, which appeared as a demonstration sport at the Barcelona Games? It's back to the drawing board.
If medals were handed out today, it is likely that Egypt and Malaysia would pick up gold, fitting the IOC requirement of under-developed countries winning medals. Supporters say that this would be the pinnacle of the sport, but the truth is squash doesn't yet fit the IOC's agenda of global TV domination, mainly due to the problem of following the ball on a screen. The advent of high-definition TV should change this.
Both men and women's world tours are also in good health and administrators are slowly finding appeal from sponsors attracted to the drop-in glass courts and potential with venues. But how the sport will cope by narrowly missing out on 2008 and now 2016 after a fervent few years of lobbying remains to be seen. Last week, the World Squash Federation distanced itself from taking legal action against the IOC, following a report by the Daily Telegraph that squash officials had yet to rule out the move.
Looked to have made a late bid to sneak in through the back door after being dropped for the 2012 Games in London while many observers believed the sport would get the seal of approval at the IOC's August meeting. Has links to baseball but unlike its big brother is drug free and its inventive global development programmes could see it make more of an impact for a 2020 bid.
The International Softball Federation recently announced a $100,000 grant for the sport in Africa with new equipment and programmes. Softball is, at least, making the right noises with the US still dominant in the game.

Marshall Street, or "M" Street, is a street in the University Hill neighborhood in Syracuse, New York, adjacent to Syracuse University. Marshall Street often refer to the commercial area including and surrounding the 100 Block of Marshall Street. This area primarily functions as an off-campus commercial area for college students. Marshall Street is home to popular student bars including Faegan's Pub, Harry's Bar, Lucy's Retired Surfers Bar, Chuck's Cafe and DJ's on the Hill.
Marshall Street is believed to be named for Louis Marshall (1856–1929), a Syracuse native and corporate and constitutional lawyer, who also helped found the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry. The 100 block of Marshall Street received the honorary name Louis Marshall Way in 2006. Historians are unsure if the street originally honored Louis Marshall, who only reached prominence after the turn of the twentieth century.[1][2][3] The Marshall Square Mall is also located adjacent to Marshall Street.[4][5] The area is promoted by the Crouse-Marshall Business Association. Marshall Street has been renovated many times over the years.[6][7]
Shops on Marshall Street include Manny's, Jimmy Johns, The Pita Pit, Insomnia Cookies, Shirt World, Chipotle Mexican Grill, King David's, Panda West, Some Girls Boutique, Blue Monkey Cafe, Acropolis Pizza, Halo Tattoos, J Michael Shoes, and Starbucks.[8]

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- Dozens of state jobs involved in a dispute over whether they should be free of politics were filled by Gov. Pat Quinn's administration with candidates who were politically connected or gave campaign money to the governor's party.
That's according to an Associated Press review of state documents.
Among those Illinois Department of Transportation hires were Democratic county committeemen and their relatives, campaign workers and a former Chicago alderman.
They were hired in a process closed to the public, and without regard to a U.S. Supreme Court decision on such hiring rules.
Quinn's office says it has "zero tolerance" for wrongdoing. IDOT officials say they were allowed to make the hires under an exemption from state rules.
But an administration audit later found 48 of 60 hires shouldn't have been political.
