Hi guys. I'm planning a theme that is mostly presentational and I want to make the whole thing as less plugin dependant as possible. This means no Visual Composer or ACF plugins (or something similar). That's a result of my preference and my client choice (main reason is that it is desired to work on a vanilla WordPress, for any user)
Anyhow, how would one manage the content for a layout similar to this:
So, basically the requirement would be to manage various sections content in an easy way that also allows reordering, editing and so on.
The best way I could come up with is to make use of hierarchy and templates in pages:
|- Slideshow
|- Portfolio
|- Contact
|- Footer
I have few big…ish issues here:
The second idea would be to make a lot of metaboxes that are dynamic enough to be added/removed/sorted/edited in page (basically this means replicating some ACF functionalities).
For some reasons, metaboxes seems a bit hackish for me and i'd like to avoid them if possible (also search is tricky)
Any other ideas?
The best way would be to use the Customizer with widgets. You can add almost anything in widgets, from customizations (output css in the header) to complex form fields, and the best thing is you can reorder them and see modifications made live.
Widgets sounds good, thanks for suggestion.
But I'm thinking that editing wide content boxes (e.g. section called "DETAILS DONE RIGHT" in the theme mentioned above) would make things a bit less… visual.
Also, wonder if this would play nice on:
You can also use a function like this to register a sidebar based on page template. You can make a page template called "builder" and:
function reg_sidebars() {
// Get all pages with Page Builder template selected
$pages = get_pages(array(
'post_status' => 'publish',
'meta_key' => '_wp_page_template',
'meta_value' => 'page-builder.php',
'parent' => -1
// Register a sidebar for each page using the Page Builder template
foreach( $pages as $page ){
$this->reg_page_builder_sidebar( $page->ID, $page->post_title );
It's not possible.
Well, technically it is possible, but pretty difficult to do without sacrificing something in return. Either you use some sort of page builder to manage all the content elements, or you add the styling yourself in exchange for flexibility.
The way we do it in some themes is through Custom Post Types, like here:
The theme is set so it has Slides, Features, and Portfolios, and all of them are fixed into the theme. This makes everything stupidly simple to set up: you just need to start creating posts in each section to populate the homepage. However, it's not an elegant solution from a standards standpoint, nor it is a flexible way to implement it. For the lock-in issues, we have a separate plugin that implements all the custom post types.
You can do this with widgets, theme options, or any other feature of WordPress, but the problem is always going to be flexibility. What if the user wants to change the order of the elements? the number of columns? You can add options to manage those too, but there will always be more use cases to cater to.
The other way around is to use a page builder. This gives you control over pretty much each element, even if it is at the expense of simplicity. I've also coded themes meant for use with Visual Composer, and in some cases it can be daunting to create a homepage.
To keep things manageable, what we do is to provide a separate plugin that contains all the required functionality: the portfolio, testimonials, shortcodes to handle VC elements… But the problem is, if you want flexibility you WILL need some sort of tool to manage all the content.
I guess it all boils down to picking two of the following:
One way would be what @acosmin suggested: widgets.
In my opinion you can take another approach to this. Instead of allowing your user to do anything and everything regarding the layout, make that one a fixed layout. Create 1 page template and call it the "frontpage" page template, then use the Customizer and create options on what to display for all pages that use your "frontpage" page template.
Use Customizer Panels for organizing all frontpage options. Create options for the slideshow, portfolio, contact, and footer for the frontpage template. Keep the Customizer simple, and settings that can complicate it - like reordering - can be just left out.
You can opt to not have meta boxes this way also.
[plug] You can use Titan Framework to create those Customizer panels/sections
I agree with @bfintal here. I think just having a couple of widgetized front page templates and some Customizer settings should do the trick. It's something I'm doing myself in my latest theme. The user won't have as many "options" at his disposal as you see in your example, but that's a good thing! And here's where I go into a short rant:
I know this is the "trend" these days, but who decided long home pages crammed full of everything work for every site? Sure, multiple vertical sections work in some cases, when used in moderation and with careful planning. Most people however will not exert moderation and just create a kitchen sink of content, that helps nobody.
I've been struggling with this a bit, but in the end I can't deny the fact that people who are not coders will want options. So it's our job as developers and designer to at least present and use those options in a clever way.

New York Giants RB Brandon Jacobs created quite a stir on Sunday night when he ran like crap on a particular play, came out of the game, and then oh looky here there is a helmet in the stands.
He claimed that he tried to slam the helmet into the bench and it slipped out of his hands. Uh huh. Then why were you yelling at the fans just moments earlier, Brandon? That didn't makes sense to us then and it doesn't make sense now.
And the NFL agrees with us. They just slapped him with a light fine (in our opinion) of $10,000 for chucking his helmet in the stands. We say that's light because it wouldn't be a stretch to call that assault if someone had gotten hurt. And with leagues extremely concerned about player-fan interaction, you'd have thought that they really would have laid the $25,000 hammer down on him.
It was also rumored after that game that Jacobs was sick of his role and demanded to be traded. Now, he is saying that's not the case.
"I have not demanded a trade and have no plans to demand a trade," Jacobs said. "The only demand I am making right now is of myself, to be the best player I can be and to help this team win."
That's doesn't sound like a PR person wrote it at all. Sounds like Jacobs himself talking. Definitely. The trade talk was probably quelled when the Giants realized that no one would give up anything for a big running back that runs soft, is a malcontent, and is owed $3.65 million this year. Who wouldn't want that on their team?

What is your marketing story?
Is your marketing story compelling?
Does it turn the heads of your audience?
Does it make them smile, wonder, capture their imaginations, get their brains active?
Or does your story fall flat?
Not certain what I'm talking about?
Okay. Rather than telling you about marketing stories, I'll give you an example of a truly great story, a compelling presentation and then we can chat about it.
Watch the video below. As you watch, think of these questions.
- What is the problem or barrier to the product?
- Was this a real problem or is it based on a false belief?
- What is an effective demonstration of a solution to this problem or reasons to change an old belief?
- Was this approach truly unique or is it the same approach everyone else uses?
Now, shift gears and think about your business, your industry and begin crafting your own marketing story. Ask yourself:
- What is your problem or barrier in getting people to buy your products or services?
- Is this problem real or based upon a myth or false belief?
- How can you effectively show or demonstrate how this problem can be solved or why this belief should be changed?
- Is your approach to addressing these barriers/beliefs truly unique?
But I can't rent out a Museum!
You don't need to COPY Beldent's demonstration.
In fact, it may NOT be appropriate to do a public test to demonstrate your solution.
Put on your creativity cap and turn on the juice.
Maybe there is an ingenious way you can turn some boring industry research into your marketing story. Translate all those mind numbing numbers into a powerful marketing story.
Every industry has slang expressions about their business.
- Restaurants use the term "Hockey Puck" for a well done hamburger.
- In business consulting there's the term PIOUTA: pulled it out of thin air. Another is the "straw man" – an idea that allows people to "shoot at it" without fear.
- "VunderBob" is the industry slang term for the practice by an insurance company of repeatedly denying a valid claim, hoping it goes away.
Which slang expressions could you creatively string together to demonstrate your solution?
Borrow an idea from the past and have your staff put on a play in the style of Shakespeare to get your solution across.
Think of the old Burma Shave signs along the highway.
Takes the "H" out of shave / Makes it save / Saves complexion / Saves time and money / No brush – no lather / Burma-Shave
Every shaver / Now can snore / Six more minutes / Than before / By using / Burma-Shave
How could you convert your solution into Burma Shave signs for your online communications?
You could invite 3 or 4 of your best customers to a luncheon and have them describe how they feel about your solution. Having a small group share their experiences with each other will stimulate more conversation and give you more ideas.
The point is to make the demonstration of your solution unique and thought provoking.
Which do you choose?
You only have two choices.
You can saddle yourself with a boring story that everyone will ignore or you can start creating a marketing story that will change the minds of your audience.
Which are you going to do?
Your Turn
What barriers or myths does your audience have about your products or services?
Are you addressing these barriers or myths or ignore them?
Are you addressing them in a truly unique way…in a way no one else in your industry is using?
Is your marketing story changing minds?

Despite reports that Andy Reid was told to fire Juan Castillo in order to save his own job next season, the Head Coach says that conversation never took place.
Reports surfaced early this week that the Eagles front office approached Andy Reid with a mandate to fire defensive coordinator Juan Castillo in order to secure that he would return as the Head Coach in 2012. On Wednesday at the Novacare Complex, Reid was asked about the report and adamantly denied such a conversation took place.
"Nobody has approached me on it," Reid said. "My mind is to continue to get better as coaches and players. My mind goes no further than that. That's where I'm at. We're right in the middle of this thing and we have to continue to get better; that's what we have to do."
Castillo is in his first season as defensive coordinator after spending the previous 12 as the team's offensive line coach. Reid promoted the team's longest tenured assistant to the top job defensively during the offseason.
The Eagles defense ranks 17th in the NFL in total defense, and 17th against the rush allowing an average of 115 yards per game.
Reid also pointed out that despite several conversations with owner Jeffery Lurie and the front office, that he does not feel any extra pressure or question about his job security.
The Eagles take on the Miami Dolphins on Sunday at Sun Life Stadium, both teams entering at 4-8.

Policy on creative industries is increasingly important as an urban development tool. Current studies primarily focus on the analysis of cultural and creative industries (CCIs) in large urban regions; knowledge on the effects of CCIs in peripheral areas is still limited. The Netherlands have appointed the creative industries to one of their top sectors, sectors that are stimulated in order to create competitive advantage. Hence, CCIs are not only a focus point in the largest cities, but also in many less urbanised areas. This national policy makes the Netherlands the ultimate country to study CCIs in peripheral areas.
In this project, we study the development of CCIs, in particular the fashion industry in the Euregion Maas Rhine, encompassing the cross-border region of Maastricht, Aachen and Liege. Our aim is to evaluate the potential from a change in local recent municipality policy on developing the regional creative industries in the city of Maastricht and spill-over effects to surrounding regions. The policy emphasises the importance of local and sustainable production, the intention to generate growth in employment in the creative industries of approximately 70% within the next five years. This research constitutes to the first phase in a multi-phase project, the objective of which is to map and analyse the current situation of CCIs in the Euregion Maas Rhine region. We collect data for the South-Limburg region. For future expansion of the research, we aim to additionally collect data from other Euregion sub-regions; the province of Limburg (Belgium), the province of Lüttich (Belgium), the German-speaking communities within the province of Lüttich (Belgium), and the Aachen region (Germany)
Previous studies show that the city of Maastricht in general has a high level of sole proprietorships. How this relates to the CCIs is of particular interest. In order to generate a complete image of potential future development of CCIs in these regions, we look at employment data, start-up activity and survival rates, and economic value added within the region. This study is a repeat and extension of Söndermann (2010).

Two demolition workers injured in St. Louis building collapse
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Two demolition workers have suffered injuries after falling more than 30 feet at a job site near St. Louis University.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the accident happened around noon Friday when part of the building they were dismantling collapsed.
Capt. Garon Mosby of the St. Louis Fire Department said fellow workers rescued the men. They had been removing bricks from the third floor when they fell to the basement.
Chuck Mace, of Davison Demolition, said he saw the building collapse. He said a few people helped the workers walk because they were "banged up."
Mosby said the workers were talking and alert when they were taken to hospitals for treatment. He described their conditions as "stable."

If you consider .pc and debian/patches to be droppings, removing them will produce a sane format close to what you want. In fact, this can already be represented in git: just put the droppings into .gitignore. This might need a "git clean -dfX", but that already matches the "everything in git" principle. > It would be nice if there were a source format that: > * Could represent every change to a source tree (including the > deletion of upstream files!) > * Did not insist in including droppings in the trees it manages. I don't understand the arguments against 3.0 (git). For every 3.0 (quilt) package, you can produce a 3.0 (git) with exactly the same data (but not metadata[1]) bits. It is claimed that it can smuggle some not visible data. That's what prune is for. Git goes a long way towards saving old data for recovery purposes, but deleting object not reachable from HEAD you ship is no rocket science. As for the need to review past commits: quilt is no different. You must (at least in theory) check the tree's state before and after applying every single patch.

Worst Doctor I have ever been to, told me to go home and look up whats wrong with me on the Internet myself, evidently he didn't have the time to figure it out. Laughed at me and said we all have pain when we get older ( didn't think I needed to start giving up in my 40,s) would not recommend this doctor at all!

Self-verified patient of Dr. Dennis Q Mcmanus - Posted on March 18th, 2015
I could write at least a couple pages of bad stuff about this doc and his assistant. But what it comes down to is you are just another $ to them , They do what they want and do not listen to what you are saying . Nor do they care if you get better , If "his" way does not work then your screwed cause he is only gonna do "his" way. Been going there for a year and he does not even know what meds i have been on. Says the same speech at every , i mean EVERY apt. Waste of time and money , and if your in pain and go here chances are you will remain in pain and most likely get worse. Run , walk , crawl away from this office, its your best and only choice really. i gave him 1 star , only because i had to , you cannot put zero stars and still give a review.
Do not waste your time on dr mcmanus

This dr believes his plan will work on all patients which it does not! If you do not agree with him, he becomes very irritated. Thinks he is the almighty one, his way or the highway. There are far more experienced doctors than this one. He has been proven wrong by so many people.

Self-verified patient of Dr. Dennis Q Mcmanus - Posted on March 14th, 2012
My first visit was with a male nurse..I was very impressed he really seemed to care. My second visit was with the social worker..They lost my chart, yet she was very nice. My 3rd visit was with Dr. McManus he took me off all pain meds and put me on anti-depressants and recommended physical therapy. The physical therapist spent about 20mins with me on the first visit to her, she treated me like I was a child..I was having trouble with the med he put me on and his nurse came in to talk to me she told me to quit taking the med and she would call me...she never called. The next visit a different nurse came to talk to me about "day" therapy.. In addition to the insurance it would cost $20 a day..I explained I was about to lose my insurance and could not afford the $20 a day. about 3 days later she called me to talk about "day" therapy...She forgot we had already talked...I explained to her that my insurance had been canceled gave her the dates of my already scheduled appointments and that I needed to cancel them, I was told it would be taken care of. Several months later I ended up in the ER I have lost use of my left arm and have been suffering from the pain for months. They recommended I see a neurologist within 2 or 3 days...I was sent back to McManus..the soonest they could get me in was 5 weeks...The day before my appointment they called to confirm my appointment. Shortly after I arrived the nurse came out into the waiting room and in front of everyone in the waiting room told me I had failed to cancel my previous appointments and I would no longer be treated in that office. Over the last several months my condition has deteriorated and I have been in pain daily...If you are going to drop patients that is your prerogative...DO NOT make them wait 5 weeks to do so...I am thankful in the long run....due to the lack of organization in this office I might have been treated for the wrong condition. It is my opinion that this high volume office is a scam to make as much money as they can with little concern for the patient.
A patient who verified they visited Dr. Dennis Q Mcmanus - Posted on August 25th, 2011
Dr. McManus is a very caring and patient physician. He is thorough and thinks out of the box. He will research a problem and figure out solutions. The BEST neurologist I have ever had.
Stay away from this Doctor
Self-verified patient of Dr. Dennis Q Mcmanus - Posted on July 24th, 2011
The first time I met him he found out I was on disability. I got a 15 minute lecture on how people on disability are ruining this country. He followed up this less than stellar introduction by spelling out his philosophy on pain. I'm sure it works for a lot of people. I would even wager that it works for up to 80 to 90% of his patients. The trouble is, it doesn't work for everybody. I was one of those people who it didn't work for. So he takes me completely off pain killers and according to his statistics I should be cured!!! Guess what I wasn't and I spent YEARS in bed praying to die. I considered a lawsuit but I didn't want money, I wanted he and certain key members of his staff arrested for assault. DO NOT TRUST THIS MAN HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT HIS PATIENTS HE'S ONLY INTERESTED IN PROVING HIS WAY IS THE ONLY WAY. I'm sure his statistics will back that up because he get's rid of the people who do not respond to "HIS PLAN" Before I met him I respected doctors. Now, it's really hard for me to trust.
thank you!

A Model for Predicting Readmission Risk in New Zealand
Predictive Risk Models which utilize routinely collected data to develop algorithms are used in England to stratify patients according to their hospital admission risk. An individual's risk score can be used as a basis to select patients for hospital avoidance programmes. This paper presents a brief empirical analysis of New Zealand hospital data to create a prediction algorithm and illustrates how a hospital avoidance business case can be developed using the model. A sample of 134,262 patients was analyzed in a Multivariate logistic regression, various socioeconomic factors and indictors of previous admissions were used to predict the probability that a patient is readmitted to hospital within the 12 months following discharge. The key factors for readmission prediction were age, sex, diagnosis of last admission, length of stay and cost-weight of previous admission. The prognostic strength of the algorithm was good, with a randomly selected patient with a future re-admission being 71.2% more likely to receive a higher risk score than one who will not have a future admission.

Hi everyone. I am an author of dark speculative fiction, which is just a more concise way of saying I write fantasy, sci-fi, horror, and literary fiction geared toward the darker and grittier side. I am represented by Kimberly Cameron & Associates and the current project I'm working on is THE DREAMWIELDER CHRONICLES, a YA fantasy series from Diversion Books. The first book is DREAMWIELDER, and you can read it right here on Wattpad as part of an exclusive book club. The sequel, SOULDRIFTER, is out now. You can read chapter 1 here on Wattpad at the end of DREAMWIELDER, but to read the rest, you'll have to go the old-school route and purchase a copy. Sorry!
You'll also find here on Wattpad a prequel short story to DREAMWIELDER, "WULFRAM," and two unrelated novellas of mine, including "THE KNIGHT'S DOG," which has been pretty popular.
As you might guess, I'm an avid SF/F/H reader. Some of my favorite authors include Tolkien, Lovecraft, Le Guin, McCaffrey, Burroughs, Bradbury, Octavia Butler, George R.R. Martin, Paolo Bacigalupi, Tim Powers, James P. Blaylock, Bruce McAllister, Ahimsa Kerp, Craig Comer, Chuck Palahniuk, Raymond Carver, Tobias Wolff, Bill Bryson... jeez, I know I'm forgetting a lot, but that's a good start.
When not writing, I enjoy hiking with my two giant dogs and quaffing good beer!

Booklets & Journals: a sea change
The booklet-journals I wrote about in my last two posts - the first over a month ago!- have gone through a sea-change since my first thoughts on why I should or would produce them. Three are finished and will appear next month in 'Organic Garden & Home'. Originally, I was asked to make some samples that might sell in a local gift shop, and that was when I started on the process of putting something together. But then a last-minute commission for an article on making a garden journal - for beginners - had me scrambling to complete the samples and write instructions.
And that is when everything changed. For as I worked towards my deadline, I realised that a) I did not particularly want to spend all my spare time making booklets en masse to sell (if they were acceptable to the gift shop), and I couldn't imagine that anyone would want to buy them anyway, and b) the things I really like making would be too complicated to explain for beginners in one short article. So I decided to adapt and complete two of the initial booklets and make a third very simple one without embellishments.
So instead of the painted pages and framed 'text' pages I had originally planned, I took sheets of scrapbooking paper/card and cut and folded those, plus plain card to interleave between the patterned sheets. I cut and folded, punched and eyeletted, and then strung the pages together with cord. This would be quick, simple and inexpensive, and easily explained.
My idea was that the patterned pages would form a background onto which journaling photos could be pasted whilst the blank card would give space for notes or journaling. With the eyeletted binding, extra pages could be easily added. In the sample I made, I added a name tag, and some horn beads to the cord binding.
I then turned back to my original idea and created the pages from painted paper bags and water-colour paper, and added paper napkin motifs for embellishment. This was step two, intended for those magazine readers who wanted to progress beyond scrapbook papers. I added stamping and embellishments to the cover of this second book, and horn beads again.
But what I really wanted to do was to incorporate pockets and transferred images, and I worked on those for the Garden Journal, and for the third booklet 'Vegetable Heaven' (see first pic, left hand photo, click on it to view it at enlarged size). I took numerous progress shots whilst I was making the booklets and also 'how-to-do-this' photos, and will outline some of these other stages in another post.

I like your booklet journals, especially with their garden themes, and the great photographs that illustrate their construction. Looking forward to seeing more on them.ReplyDelete
I love every one of them.. I never thought I'd want to make any journals but after seeing your's I'm tempted.ReplyDelete
This is a great idea, I never before saw the value of the eyelets.ReplyDelete
Oh, these books are simply delightful. Yes, yes, I think they would truly sell in a New York minute. So much thought and heartfelt creativity. Love them.ReplyDelete
You are so creative! I love it and only wish I could find the time to put my hands to good use as you are:)ReplyDelete

Iloperidone (Fanapt)
Iloperidone, an antipsychotic recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is comparable in efficacy to other second-generation agents.
Cholinesterase Inhibitors Cause Syncope
Cholinesterase inhibitors, such as donepezil (Aricept), galantamine (Razadyne), and rivastigmine (Exelon), which are used to treat Alzheimer's disease, may cause syncope.

Cholinesterase Inhibitors Cause Syncope
December 2009
Cholinesterase inhibitors, such as donepezil (Aricept), galantamine (Razadyne), and rivastigmine (Exelon), are commonly prescribed to improve cognitive and behavioral symptoms and to slow the course of deterioration in patients with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias. In a recent article, Gill and associates point out that among other side effects, cholinesterase inhibitors can cause syncope, a problem often unrecognized by physicians.1 The presumed mechanism is an increase in vagal-mediated cholinergic tone, which can promote bradycardia. Syncope, of course, can lead to falls, and falls often result in serious injuries in elderly patients, including potentially lethal hip fractures. Dr Gill's group observes that clinical practice guidelines on both syncope and dementia treatment do not mention syncope as a clinically significant adverse effect of cholinesterase inhibitors.
The authors conducted a population-based cohort study in Ontario, Canada of almost 20,000 community-dwelling older adults with dementia who were taking cholinesterase inhibitors. For controls, they selected over 60,000 patients who had dementia but were not taking these medications.
Hospital visits for syncope were almost twice as frequent in patients treated with cholinesterase inhibitors as in controls. Other syncope-related events were also more common in those taking cholinesterase inhibitors, including hospital visits for bradycardia, permanent pacemaker insertion, and hip fracture.
The investigators acknowledge that elderly demented patients taking cholinesterase inhibitors may have other risk factors for syncope, such as polypharmacy and hypovolemia, which can occur episodically. Moreover, drug-induced syncope does not always follow immediately after treatment initiation. Cholinesterase inhibitors are usually titrated slowly, and syncope may not occur until higher doses are achieved.
Gill et al call for enhanced awareness in clinicians and caregivers of syncope as a potential adverse effect of cholinesterase inhibitors. They suggest this serious adverse effect be weighed carefully against the modest benefits patients may receive from these compounds.

The 6 part miniseries "Mars" has arrived on Blu-ray and DVD and it's so realistic you would think we have already settled a new world on another planet. The TV series ran on National Geographic in 2016 and the home video includes 8 bonus features including the prequel "Before Mars". Your imagination will take over within 10 minutes of the first episode as it opens a new world to space exploration.
It's 2033 and the crew of the space ship Daedalus readies themselves for take-off to the planet Mars. Their trip will take seven months to travel the 37,250,000 miles to the red planet and there's a lot of excitement and apprehension in the control room. Aboard are Ben Sawyer (Ben Cotton) Mission Commander and Systems Engineer, Hana Seung (Jihae) Mission Pilot and Systems Engineer, Javier Delgado (Alberto Ammann) Geochemist and Hydrologist, Amelia Durand (Clementine Poidatz) Mission Physician and Biochemist, Marta Kamen (Anamaria Marinca) Exobiologist and Geologist, and Robert Foucault (Sammi Rotibi) Mechanical Engineer and Roboticist.
The trip to Mars goes without a hitch until they make a rough landing injuring a crew member and missing their intended site some 75 miles from their pre-established base. In the freezing cold they attempt to make the trip to the safety of their new quarters where they have livable air, food and water. Thus begins an adventure to save a life and the rest of the crew with limited oxygen in a robotic rover.
The story goes on from there consuming the next 5 chapters with the compelling script turning up the excitement and danger as they try to exist on the barren planet. Director Everardo Gout takes on the ambitious endeavor that vacillates between 2016 where actual pre-prep for a trip to Mars has already been started and the fictional 2033 first trip to the Red Planet. He incorporates what NASA has done in the past with the current projects that include the recent return of Scott Kelly who was sent to the space station to show the effects of a prolonged stay on the human body. Also incorporated are archival film of launches that took place leading up to the Scott Kelly's mission.
BONUS FEATURES: There are 8 interesting and exciting extras on the Blu-ray Disc and include the following.
"Making MARS"
"BEFORE MARS – A Prequel"
"BEFORE MARS Behind the Scenes"
"Getting to MARS Featurettes"
"Living on MARS Featurettes"
"More MARS Featurettes"
"Behind-the-scenes Featurettes"
"Cast & Crew Interviews"
"Mars" has been rated PG by the TV bureau and contains no offensive material except for peril and a fictional bloody medical procedure. National Geographic has announced that a second series has been green lighted.
FINAL ANALYSIS: A nicely produced series with a lot of energy and Sci-fi suspense.

Was a proud graduate of Queen of Martyrs elementary, Br. Rice High School and St. Thomas University. He was literally a "Jack of all trades", working in political circles, sales, construction management, and finance all at different points in his life. He faced many hardships and overcame them all, and although he was not perfect, he was truly a great man who had huge dreams and tried his hardest to make them come true for himself and everyone he knew and loved.

"Hello Girls, I knew your father in Belize. I did not know this happened to him.. I am truly sorry. He was a great friend to me as well as Patty. I was hoping to talk to him again after I returned.

"There are many fond memories of Jack while groing up. We went through grammar school together and "hung out" while in high school with many good friends. We had a grammar school reunion in the mid 80'a and had a blast putting this all together. My prayers are with you and your family. Maureen Redmon Somersett"
"We were always excited when Jackie, Uncle Jack, and Aunt Marge were coming over. To me, his arrival meant FUN and lots of laughs. He and my older brother Jim had a way of getting into mischief.

Sex, parties, fabulous views—do we have your attention? All those things are in Bravo's new reality series Timber Creek Lodge. Think Vanderpump Rules and Below Deck mixed up in a blender (and you can bet tequila is in that blender too).
The new series follows hot hoteliers who do a lot more than work together, but they have to remember—the client is always right, right? But does a client always stay a client? The lines of professionalism will certainly blur.
"We're going to be dealing with vomit and s--t, so be prepared to touch that sort of thing," Louise Robinson, the head of housekeeping says in the exclusive preview below.
It's going to be like that.
The staff includes…
Cynthia Barker, VIP Mountain Host
Katy Boyd, Lodge Manager
Blake Dubler, Lodgehand
Joey Gibbons, CEO "Gibbons Life"
Jenna Gillund, Housekeeping/Server
Jamie Murphy, Assistant Lodge Manager
Mark Milburn, Senior VIP Mountain Host
Louise Robinson, Head of Housekeeping
Colston Villanueva, VIP Mountain Host
Nikita Williams, Chef
Prepare for broken hearts, bent rules and over-the-top experiences—all in the best way possible, of course.
Timber Creek Lodge premieres Monday, Dec. 5 at 10 p.m. on Bravo.

The 24 Hour Passport
Most people will never need this information. But if you DO need this information than you will be excited about it-I was!
A 24 hour passport is a big deal!...when you need to travel quickly!
I needed my passport in like 21 Days!!...but they do not have those! I remember the day so vividly. I was stressing about my "Girls Night In" Sally Hansen's #iLuvMyNailArtParty. My phone rang and it was from of all places Arkansas. The next 30 minutes I was hollering! I had won the CybHer Blogging Conference! I was going to London!...a dream!
However, I was without a passport and I had less than 30 days to get it!!
The 24 Hour Passport Angel
One of the participants of my Beauty Party (and my Sorority Sister) was congratulating me about the trip that I had won from Collective Bias to London. I told her about my dilemma and needing my passport like yesterday! She told me about her co-worker who had gotten his passport in 24 hours! This was my 24 hour Passport Angel! Who had ever even heard of this??
Make Sure that You Check Out All of my LONDON Articles!>>> READ HERE
The 24 Hour Passport Purpose
The purpose of the government agency that awards Passports in 24 hours is in case of an emergency. You have to be flying within 2 weeks and already have a flight scheduled. You book an appointment, go to the office, submit your documents and pick up your passport the next day. The cool part about the 24 Hour Passport is that you can also bring along family members along with you, on ONE appointment if you are all travelling. The offices are located in several cities around the nation!
The American Cities that Provide 24 Hour Passport Service:
Hot Springs, AR Atlanta, GA Boston, MA Buffalo, NY Chicago, IL Aurora, CO Stamford, CT Dallas, TX Detroit, MI El Paso, TX Honolulu, HI Houston, TX Los Angeles, CA Miami, FL Minneapolis, MN Portsmouth, NH New Orleans, LA New York, NY Philadelphia, PA San Diego, CA San Francisco, CA Seattle, WA St. Albans, VT Washington, DC Tucson, AZ Check Out The US Government Travel Website For the Most Updated Offices! >>> CLICK HERE!
The Phone Number to acquire an appointment: 1-877-487-2778 This is an automated number, you can schedule an appointment 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The required documents for a 24 Hour Passport: >An Official Birth Certificate, With the Raised Symbol, No Color Copies Allowed >Your Travel Itinerary - And It Must Be Paper, it cannot be an electronic form or on your device >Your official passport photos, these agencies do NOT take the photos >Your check, money order, exact cash or credit/debit card, but check the website to see what forms of payment are accepted at your particular agency
Be sure and check Here for Updated Requirements
Things to know about the Passport Office:
- This is NOT a speedy process. So bring a book or some work. I was waiting for more than two hours for a 10 minute process.
- Do not be late, you will not be able to see an attendant if you are late Bring your documentation AND your money with you to apply NOT when you pick it up!
- Do not bring weapons, knives, etc!!...They Check You Like the TSA!
How Much Does the 24 hour passport cost? A little less than $200.00. It's actually cheaper than rushing a passport because you don't have to pay the $12.95 for shipping!
Have a Classy Journey!

Chatting with ma mère over FaceTime. She's highly physical having been a yoga teacher as well as a runner her entire life. Due to a chronic injury, the running has stopped.
Stay with me, it'll all come together, I promise!
We're talking holidays and I ask what she'd like under the tree. She takes a moment and rubs her hip, "My right sacroiliac to be better".
Sounds like an impossible task until I met Dr. Naqvi from Clinique Univers Nuface!
Clinique Univers Nuface had the ribbon cutting on their gorgeous high tech office this month and I had the pleasure of meeting the man behind the medical esthetic clinic, Dr Naqvi.
Dr. Naqvi started out as a GP doctor and for the past ten years specializes solely in injections. He is highly entertaining and quite the character.
This throne in his office should paint a good picture (I want one in my home, too!).
A couple of things stayed with me from our conversation; His innovative work with Advanced PRP and his view on beauty.
What is PRP? Platelet Rich Plasma.
Why is it special? It's the part of our blood that contains a concentration of growth factors – fancy talk for, these parts of the blood make the body heal faster and/or regenerate.
Imagine constant chronic pain in your body 24/7. Après as little as one session, the pain has disappeared!
Currently, he is testing the Advanced PRP to heal a hip that required a full replacement. All I will say, was that the surgery has been postponed as an injection was given in July and the subject is now FULL ON RUNNING. My mind is BLOWN.
Now for the beauté. Ever hear of the Vampire Facial? That's Advanced PRP again!
At Clinique Univers Nuface, this treatment is available but Dr. Naqvi adds in his own concoction. The results are INCREDIBLE . The fountain of youth may have been found!
All this said, the clinic also offers all the usual medical esthetic services such as fraxel (lazer resurfacing/regenerating) to botox to fillers. The bottom line with Dr. Naqvi is that his clients always hold the wheel.
"I never suggest changes to a client. What makes me think that I have the right to say what is 'beautiful' or 'handsome'. Why would I put my ideals of beauty on someone else? I give them the magic wand to make the changes THEY want and then I make those changes happen."
The Clinique Univers Nuface space itself is pristine and spacious with a bit of a fantastical twist – self serve candy wall? Oui, svp!
Worried about discretion? Confidentiality is a must at the clinic. Leave the floppy hat at home!
SO, whether the fountain of youth is yearned for or a chronic injury is wished to be healed, you need to look into Dr. Naqvi at Clinique Univers Nuface. I know I'm hoping that a certain Christmas wish will come true.
While I pretend to rule the kingdom, get your runners ready, mum!

i am saving up to get a Canon XH-A1 camera so i can record and edit with HD footage. but i just want to make sure i will be able to edit a long project(about an hour to an hour and a half) smoothly with no dropped frames, errors, system crashes, etc. basically i need a machine that can keep up. i ask because i have edited smaller projects and i get slow down and shut downs from time to time. i dont want to start a long project only to have it crash and loose all my info.
i am guessing the pros never have problems editing since they can afford supercomputers that can handle HD video with ease. can anyone recommend the type of power (RAM, Hard Drive space and RPMs, processor, CPU GHz speed, graphics card, etc) i would need to edit video smoothly and without problems? i prefer to edit on a PC.
right now i have a Dell XPS 400 PC running on windows XP with a 200GB hard drive, pentium D intel viiv processor, CPU of 2.80GHz, nvidia geforce 7300 LE and 2GB ram. that sure wont cut it, right? should i get a new PC or just upgrade this one? what do i need to fix?
also i just want to say that i do everything on this one computer from downloading movies and music to surfing the web and burning DVDs. i have many big files in several folders. does that afffect the overall performance of the PC? should i just delete everything and keep only the editing software and only use it to edit? will that even help? thanks for any help!

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
How do I change the default map projection to NAD_1983_HARN_Transverse_Mercator which isn't a known projection?
// I added backslashes added before " in the defaultProj below.
private void setMapDefaultProjection()
string defaultProj = "PROJCS[\"NAD_1983_HARN_Transverse_Mercator\",GEOGCS[\"GCS_North_American_1983_HARN\",DATUM[\"D_North_American_1983_HARN\",SPHEROID[\"GRS_1980\",6378137.0,298.257222101]],PRIMEM[\"Greenwich\",0.0],UNIT[\"Degree\",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION[\"Transverse_Mercator\"],PARAMETER[\"False_Easting\",520000.0],PARAMETER[\"False_Northing\",-4480000.0],PARAMETER[\"Central_Meridian\",-90.0],PARAMETER[\"Scale_Factor\",0.9996],PARAMETER[\"Latitude_Of_Origin\",0.0],UNIT[\"Meter\",1.0]]";
You are really close on this one. The string format is not a Proj4 string, but rather an ESRI string. try map1.Projection.ReadEsriString(...);
If that doesn't work there may be some funkyness that wants you to use the property setter, but I think just changing the code to use the ESRI string instead of the proj4 string will work for your case.
I'm still having problems setting the default map projection to "NAD83(HARN) / Wisconsin Transverse Mercator" SRID=3071. This projection is the "spatial_ref_sys" table but it does not show up in the list of projections when I'm
prompted to change the projection of a layer (3071) when it doesn't match the map projection GCS_WGS_1984.
Nothing seems to works.
map1.Projection.EpsgCode = 3071;
map1.Projection.ReadProj4String( <string above> )
map1.Projection.ReadProj4String("+proj=tmerc +lat_0=0 +lon_0=-90 +k=0.9996 +x_0=520000 +y_0=-4480000 +ellps=GRS80 +units=m +no_defs");
Only the property I set changes (if I just set the EpsgCode the Proj4 strings don't change). If I do all three and output the map properties I get echoed back what I set but when I try to add a layer with 3071 it says the map is GCS_WGS_1984.
No matter what I do the map1.Projection stays GCS_WGS_1984. Are there more properties I have to set to change the map projection? There must be an easier way.
Hmm. I'm wondering if you have triggered a use case where your chosen projection is not updating the maps projection. I'm not sure why that would be.
However, if your data is all in that projection, you can use a property on the map to turn off the projection warnings and you can choose to never reproject as the alternative and it will stop giving you grief.
I'm not sure why it's not setting the projection properly in your case, but it may not be related to the projection specifically you are using. Mathew is currently working on fixing some remaining issues with projection comparison, and I think his
efforts will end up fixing your bug eventually.
You might try creating a ProjectionInfo and then set the map1.Projection property with it rather than modifying in situ.
Kyle - I tried that early on but the results are the same.
If I set the EpsgCode, ReadEsriString, and ReadProj4String to match my layers info (NAD_1983_HARN_Transverse_Mercator) the map is srid=3071 and the projection string is GCS_North_American_1983_HARN, but it doesn't match the incoming layer completely and
I still get the prompt to re-project each layer. It seems like I'd have to set every single property before it would match the layer projection. It seems to me that setting any ONE of the properties that I've set should set all of the rest of the
Although the srid of 3071 is in the spatial_ref_sys table it is not on any drop down list I can select from the prompt dialog box. Why is that?
My other question is why can't I change the default map projection property on the map control? It defaults to GCS_WGS_1984 and is read only. I ought to be able to select from there.
Thanks - Joe
The layers I'm trying to load were loaded into my spatialite database using the spatialite_gui as srid 3071 - the original projection was "NAD_1983_UTM_Zone_16N".
When I run my app and I'm prompted to reproject the layers the dialog box says that the layer projection is "Nothing" even though the correct data seems to be in the "geom_cols_ref_sys" view.
What is missing?
Are you using a recent source build? We made improvements to the way projections are compared within the last week or so.
The latest version I see on < http://dotspatial.codeplex.com/releases/view/57609 > is
DotSpatial 12-15-2010 and that's what I'm using.
It seems the projection I need is in the spatialite's spatial_ref_sys table but not in the DotSpatial's projections.
3071 - NAD83(HARN) / Wisconsin Transverse Mercator
We need to post a new release with the latest changes. I will plan for one on Sunday.

New Camera Gear Stuff!
I made a few changes to my Camera Gear Recommendations. Here you go… I'll cut and paste them here for you or follow the link to see more.
Good Camera: Sony a5100
This Sony mirrorless camera is highly recommended if your budget is keeping you around the $500 level.
- Check price of the Sony a5100 on Amazon
- Check price of the Sony a5100 on B&H Photo
If budget is not a concern, I suggest you jump down to the "Better" or "Best" or "HARDCORE" recommendations. However, if budget is your principal concern, then no worries; this Sony is the way to go! One great thing about it is that all the lenses that you get for this camera can also be used if and when you decide down the road to upgrade to the Sony a7Rii model below.
Better Camera: Sony a6300
Starting at below $999 for the body.
- Check price of the Sony a6300 on Amazon
- Check price of the Sony a6300 on B&H Photo
The A6300 is the latest evolution of the high end Sony APS-C models. It features, amongst other great features, enhanced autofocus speed and 4K movie recording. You can read my complete Sony a6000 review, it is the model the A6300 replaces and has many of the same specs. The a6000 series has a number of advantages over the lower-priced a5000 models. It has a built-in electronic viewfinder, more focal points, and faster continuous shooting (11 fps vs 6 fps).
Best Camera: Sony a7R II
Starting at just over $3198
- Check price of the Sony a7R II on Amazon
- Check price of the Sony a7R II on B&H Photo
A full-on Sony a7R Review is here on the site that is full of a ton of sample photos. The Mark 2 is faster, 42 Megapixel (instead of 36), and, most importantly, it has in-body stabilization. AWESOME. I used this camera ll the time before getting the Hasselblad X1D below. It's a great camera and much more affordable than the Hasselblad. I absolutely love it even though I'm not using it any more. It has all the power of the giant DSLR systems at a fraction of the price and size. Its Full-Frame goodness combined with a small mirrorless form factor gives you everything you need. Plus, the camera smarts inside are absolutely insane. Check on the review there to see even more!
HARDCORE MODE: Hasselblad X1D
Starting at the low low bargain price of around $9,000.
- Check price of the Hasselblad X1D on B&H Photo
What a beast! I don't have a review up yet for this, as I want to use it for a few months. But I've used it long enough to know that I like the photo results better than the Sony A7r series of cameras. It's medium format and mirrorless, which means it's got a much bigger sensor than the Sony and is not that much bigger in size. 50 megapixels. Beautiful and Sleek. I have the 30mm, 45mm, and 90mm lenses and they are all outstanding! The only downsides I can see so far is it is a bit slow (like 2 frames per second) and the software is a tiny bit buggy. I think the latter will be fixed with firmware.
Link to my Spotify Playlists
If you click on this Spotify Playlist Link, you can see most of the songs I've added in the last year. It's all over the place, really, but mostly Ambient/downtempo/electronica with a few wildcards thrown in. I listen to this stuff when editing photos to help "get me in the mood"!
Daily Photo – Milky Waters of Aruba
We were here in the middle of winter, and the water was still very nice. I can't imagine how nice it is in the summer! It was certainly better than being stuck in a cold place for the winter… don't get me wrong… you know I live in the mountains of New Zealand, so obviously I like wearing layers, a crackling fire, and hot cocoa, but a beach like this is a welcome respite!

Nanci Lyman [Editor]: PRINT: AMERICA'S GRAPHIC DESIGN MAGAZINE. NYC: Volume 14, No. 2, March/April 1960. Guest Art-Director for this issue of Print was Jack Golden. Perfect bound and side stapled thick printed wrappers with fold-out cover. 100 pp. Illustrated articles and advertisments. Multiple paper stocks. Interior unmarked and clean. Wrappers lightly rubbed and worn. A very good copy.
8.5 x 11 face-stitched magazine with 100 pages of editorial content and advertising. Print was devoted to showcasing the best in American Graphic Design, circa 1959. For this goal, the Publishers used a wide variety of paper stocks and printing styles for each issue. Print also had the radical idea of having a Guest Art Director design each issue, thus insuirng the magazines' fresh look. Print from the mid-to-late 1950s remind me of Herbert Spencer's Typographica, but without the cultural pretensions of the English magazine. Print was meat and potatoes compared to Spencer's elegant souffles.
Contents finclude:
PRINT started out under the auspices of William Rudge and played a significant role in the fine press and typographic movements in the mid- twentieth century. Each issue of this beautifully-designed and printed quarterly magazine stands as an essential reference for the private press and fine printing activity of the period.

Federal court blocks Oklahoma ban on Shariah law
Fox News
An amendment that would ban Oklahoma courts from considering international or Islamic law discriminates against religions and a Muslim community leader has the right to challenge its constitutionality, a federal appeals court said Tuesday.
The court in Denver upheld U.S. District Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange's order blocking implementation of the amendment shortly after it was approved by 70 percent of Oklahoma voters in November 2010.
Muneer Awad, the executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Oklahoma, sued to block the law from taking effect, arguing that the Save Our State Amendment violated his First Amendment rights.

Submission Guidelines
Alpine Karst welcomes unsolicited submissions. Preference is given to unpublished accounts of original exploration and survey, followed by stories of historic significance or discussions of cave-related science. Reprints of important articles are often considered, especially if the original article had limited distribution (such as in a grotto newsletter or regional publication), or if it is old enough the information has been generally forgotten.
Send submissions to firstname.lastname@example.com:
Alternatively, you can mail us material:
Alpine Karst
PO Box 5891
Missoula, MT 59806
Submission Guidelines:
Submissions not adhering to these guidelines will be returned for editing.
There are no deadlines for submissions, however, if your submission is received by October 31st it will appear in the Volume of the same year. Articles submitted after that date will appear the following year.
Material may be submitted in virtually every digital format, as the editor has a wide variety of applications available. Text may be submitted in the body of email, however attachments in the native word processor format are preferred. The best practice is to utilize a line space between paragraphs, not using indents or tab-indents, as these may not be preserved.
Do not embed photos into a Word or other document. Photos need to be submitted separately.
Do not add two spaces after periods. Use Find and Replace to eliminate these extra spaces before submitting.
Photos may be submitted by email or FTP client. If you are submitting more than 10 photos, please contact me for FTP information. Photos may also be submitted by the free and easy Dropbox application. Simply share your folder with me.
Photos must be submitted at full resolution, 300 ppi (pixels per inch) or higher. Set your digital camera to the largest size possible, as well as in Superfine resolution. This will assure the highest resolution possible.
Photo captions are required, either in the form of a separate email attachment, or by renaming the photo with desired caption and photographer. I must have explicit permission from each photographer to print the image, therefore photos gleaned from Flikr, Facebook, or other social media sites must be accompanied with a message or email from the photographer. The best practice is to rename each image with the desired caption. For example: Joe-Caver-rappels-dream-pit-in-awesome-cave-by-Jeff-Photobug.jpg
Maps and Line Art:
Maps should be submitted in PDF format whenever possible. Select "print optimized" or "high quality" when rendering the PDF, and make sure all fonts are embedded. JPEG, JPG, TIFF, TIF maps are acceptable only if they are rendered in high resolution. If you have questions, just ask!
Style Sheet
Please adhere to as much of this as you can, as it makes the editor's job far easier! No double-spacing after periods!
a.m., p.m. (lower case only)
USA (no periods
TAG, NSS (no periods)
don't abbreviate units of measure, whether English or metric, or use ' or " for feet or inches; i.e., feet rather than ft.
don't use apostrophes for feet or inches, write it out
don't abbreviate state or country names
Use single, not double space, after periods.
Don't use tabs or spaces to create indents – I just have to take them out! Use formatting in your word processor to create the indents, or space between paragraphs if you want.. In e-mailed articles, its best to put an extra space between paragraphs.
NSS organizations (e.g., the Digging Section) are capitalized
Compass directions, such as southern, northern, etc. , are not capitalized
Books, periodical titles, and other publications should be in italics. Example: NSS News. Article titles (in the body of an article) should be in quotes.
Words in foreign language are italicized, but not names of cities or people
Emphasis: use italics, not bold, capitals, or underlines
Use an Oxford comma before "and" in a series. Example: I explored the cave with Bob, Carol, Ted, and Alice.
it's: only used for contraction (it is) and NOT for possesive (e.g., "the cave had lost its appeal to me…")
don't make possessives out of plurals, especially dates which is a common one: "the cave was explored in the 60s" is proper but not "the cave was explored in the 60's"
use "email," not E-mail or e-mail
website – one word
Web addresses don't need the "http://" portion – alpinekarst.org or www.caves.org are both acceptable.
please don't underline email or web addresses and please remove hyperlinks (those annoying blue, underlined things) from Word documents (it puts them in automatically unless you change preferences; you can remove them by right-clicking and choosing "remove hyperlink" from the menu).
one through nine should be written out when whole numbers, but if you have a fractional number under ten, use numerals: 6 1/2 or 6.5
exception to above: PLEASE USE NUMERALS FOR ALL DIMENSIONS (passage widths, heights, pit depths, etc.)
for numbers 10 or over in text, use numerals (e.g., there were 25 of us on the trip)
two-thirds of the supplies (spell out fractions in descriptions)
1/4-inch bolt (use numeric fractions for measurements)
1980s (no apostrophe!)
12 to 15 feet (not 12-15 feet)
350-foot pit (use hyphen when number is part of a compound adjective)
use consistent units! (not "we rappelled down the 20-meter pit and then traversed 1000 feet of cave")
Preferred spelling for terms used a lot by cavers:
ridgewalk, borehole (one word, no hyphens)
Convention (capitalized)
grottos are cave clubs, grottoes are shelter caves
rappel, rappelled, rappelling (commonly mispelled)
led (past tense and past participle of the verb "lead")
climb-up, climb-down, down-climb, pull-down trip, through-trip
handhold, foothold, handline (single words)
archaeology, note the "ae"
