			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you sick and tired of searching for the ideal WordPress style that is best suited for ones weblog?  </p>
<p>Nicely if you are then you do not ought to worry because you are not alone understanding that you can find also a great deal people that very own a weblog website which experience the exact same difficulty as yours.  </p>
<p>Now the solution for this problem is the Gallery WordPress theme. Gallery WordPress themes is a thematic child theme, yes you heard me write, this is designed is made by Chris Wallace. </p>
<p>This wordpress themes isn&#8217;t exactly a new concept, but this is what I swear, that by the time you will see this theme you will be surely amazed. Go on reading this article, and I will discuss to you one by one the features of this theme and how to set it up as well as how to add content on your blog.</p>
<p>Through the time you get the Gallery WordPress Themes, the earliest factor that you simply ought to know is on the way to install it.  </p>
<p>You will need to usually don&#8217;t forget that this is a child style and mainly because it is often a child theme then the first as well as the most significant factor that you just need to do initial is always to upload both the parent style and the child style, to complete this you&#8217;ve got to download Thematic style and extract the folder and then soon after upload it for your /wp-content/themes/ directory.  Then after doing that first step, next is to download the Gallery, extract the folder again and upload it again in your /wp-content/themes/ directory. Right after doing all in the uploading task, you&#8217;ve got to log-in now to your wordpress admin panel, look for the Look and find Themes and them activate the &#8220;Gallery&#8221; theme that you&#8217;ve got lately uploaded.</p>
<p>After all the set up are done and found out that all is working well and functional, then now is the time to add a content. But prior to this you should know first details about Thumbnail Sizing.  I make it a stage which you need to know about this mainly because Gallery WordPress Theme definitely depends heavily on thumbnail pictures that sizes 125 x 125, to make sure within the dimension you&#8217;ll be able to go to WordPress choices and set to the amount to with the thumbnail dimension that you simply require.  </p>
<p>For additional extra manage of pictures, you might wish to know on employing the Max Image Size Manage plugin.  By knowing this plugin and as well using it you won&#8217;t constantly resize the images and would allow you to let WordPress do the hard work for you.</p>
<p>If ever you are making use of screenshots of web pages on your gallery items then I would suggest to you the ScreenGrab, it is an add-on intented for FireFox, which  will definitely help you in is saving full-page screenshots very easily.</p>
<p>Finally we are now about to include a content material by employing this wordpress theme, because of to common demand, there&#8217;s a post setting panel added in version 1.1 on this Gallery WordPress Style, by doing this way you won&#8217;t have got to mess around several custom fields.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many people feel that photo blogging is the most exciting kind of blogging that exists. Building and maintaining a photo blog is no more difficult than creating and updating a text-based blog, and many people feel that the internet&#8217;s high speed, full-color technology reaches the pinnacle of its appeal with the transmission of images. Posting photographs in a blog format on a daily, weekly, or occasional basis is a great way to express yourself while reaching viewers in an emotionally charged and aesthetically engaging way, and surfing photo blogs can help you to get a whole new perspective on the world in which we live. </p>
<p>Many people who run image blogs are photographers by trade, but photo blogging is also very popular among hobbyists and amateur shutterbugs. To be certain, a lot of the most popular photo blogs have gained attention because the pictures on them are of the highest artistic caliber, and a lot of the people who run these striking<br />
blogs are graduates of prestigious art schools and have impressive professional portfolios. However, some of the most well known and most often visited photo blogs as notable for their concepts as for the pictures<br />
themselves. Certain photo blogs, like the popular &#8220;Cute<br />
Overload&#8221; which features picture after picture of<br />
adorable animals, are more about the thematic content<br />
of the pictures than they are about the style in which the<br />
snapshots are taken. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How to Start a Personal Training Blog to Attract Clients should be part of your business plan if you are a personal trainer. A blog is short for web log. It is a great way to establish your online presence. A blog is not a website but you can use a blog in the same way as a website to promote your business. A blog has many advantages over a website.</p>
<p>A blog is easier to build than a website. And you can use free blogging services so you will not have to pay for hosting space like you would with a website. A website can be challenging to build if you have not done so before. And if you pay someone to do it for you it can be expensive. But you can build your own blog.</p>
<p>A website might be difficult for you to build if you have never done so. A blog is simple to build. You can find many video tutorials online to show you how to have it up and running is less than an hour.</p>
<p>Search engines love blogs. Search engines rank sites on the internet according to new and fresh relevant content. If you post everyday on your blog, which you should commit to doing, your blog will rank high on the search engines. This means when people search online for terms related to personal training or personal trainer your blog is more likely to come up on the results pages verses a website on the same subject that is static; one that does not have any fresh content.</p>
<p>Build your blog with valuable and new information on diet, on physical fitness information. You are in the business of physical training so show people you are the expert in your field. They will come to you with their need to get into shape and build physical fitness as they learn to trust your advice. You place your contact information on your blog.</p>
<p>Build your blog and then make your posts initially about who you are and what your qualifications are. You can include information about yourself in the about section of your blog. Then you can post about various fitness tips and about what you offer in your personal training sessions.</p>
<p>You can also offer discounts to regular visitors to your blog site. You can ask people to contribute to your blog. You can ask them what the most challenging part of getting into shape is; asking for them to contribute gives them a sense of community. As they connect with you through your blog they will be more likely to seek your personal training assistance.</p>
<p>As they connect with you they will feel like they already know you. They will be more inclined to want to work with you. And you can join online forums where people are looking for training or diet advice. Do not go on to the forums promoting your business. Do not even promote your blog directly. Instead be a helpful member of the forum and simply include a link to your blog in the signature section. People will visit your blog once they trust you to be an expert in your field. You may get some new customers for posting in the right online forums.</p>
<p>HostGator is the cheapest web host. Use <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://hostgatorcouponandreview.com/hostgator-coupon.html">hostgator coupon</a> to get discount at the time of sign up.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Renato Babalu Sobral defeated Bobby Southworth by TKO to become Strikeforce light heavyweight champion in the co-main event of the promotions &#8216;Destruction&#8217; card. Despite leaving with the belt around his waist, it wont be the centerpiece of Babalu&#8217;s highlight reel with the way it transpired.</p>
<p>A -350 wagering favorite despite his challenger status, Sobral was expected to use his world class Brazilian Jiu Jitsu skills and vast experience against superior competition to dominate the tough but limited Southworth. It didnt happen that way, as Southworth easily got the better of things in the first round.</p>
<p>The first round displayed Southworth&#8217;s style in microcosm, with much of the frame spent pushing Babalu up against the cage or on the ground inside his guard not really doing much. Sobral had one effective strike the entire round&#8221;and it would decide the fight. During a clinch against the cage wall the challenger rocked Southworth with a hard elbow strike that not only busted his nose but opened a huge cut over his right eye.</p>
<p>Upon seeing the gusher of blood Referee John McCarthy brought the ringside physician over to take a look. As Southworth&#8217;s corner futilely worked on the gaping wound during the break the doctor once again took a look and better realizing the severity and placement of the cut recommended to McCarthy that the fight be stopped. The veteran official complied, awarding Sobral the TKO victory and the championship belt.</p>
<p>The other half of the co-main event was decided in much more decisive fashion as Scott Smith knocked out well traveled veteran Terry Martin in a mere :24 seconds. Martin didn&#8217;t adequately close the distance against a fighter dubbed &#8216;Hands of Steel&#8217; and was caught with a perfectly placed punch that knocked him out cold.</p>
<p>In the semifinal event, Duane &#8216;Bang&#8217; Ludwig defeated Yves Edwards by unanimous decision in a very closely contested bout. Edwards was originally slated to face lightweight champion Josh Thomson until a toe injury necessitated his withdrawal. Ludwig took the fight on two weeks notice, and after a takedown clinic by Edwards in the first began to control the fight with his superior standup skills. Edwards&#8217; superiority on the ground in the first two frames wasnt enough to sway the judges who obviously favored Ludwig&#8217;s more effective striking.</p>
<p>Earlier in the evening, Kim Couture made short work of overmatched Lina Kvokov as she TKOd her foe in 1:44 of the first round. Couture, the wife of UFC legend Randy Couture, gained even more notoriety for the courage she displayed in her professional debut last June. After having her jaw broken early in the first round, she refused to throw in the towel and went the distance despite a horrific injury. She had a much easier time here&#8221;despite the fact that both fighters entered with 0-1 records Couture was significantly more polished as she put Kvokov on the defensive from the outset with her sharp punching combinations. Kvokov kept displaying the rookie mistake of trying to turn away from Couture&#8217;s blows. The reprieve was only temporary, however, as Couture launched another barrage of punches prompting the referee to step in and wave off the non-competitive affair.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The New York Jets and rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez found a sure fire cure to their recent struggles-a game against the lowly Oakland Raiders. Sanchez passed for&#8211;3 yards and a touchdown, plus added a rushing touchdown as New York thumped Oakland 38-0 in the largest regular season shutout win in franchise history. Oakland quarterback JaMarcus Russell continued to struggle, and he passed for just 61 yards with three interceptions before he was benched in favor of Bruce Gradowski.</p>
<p>NFL football betting enthusiasts who took the Jets as -6 road favorites had smooth sailing throughout the game for an easy pointspread cover. The Jets improved to 4-3 against the spread while the Raiders fell to 3-5 against the number.</p>
<p>It was such an effortless game that the only thing that Sanchez had to apologize for was surreptitiously eating a hot dog near the end of the contest:</p>
<p>&#8220;I want to apologize for that. I wasn&#8217;t feeling very good and didn&#8217;t eat much before the game, so I was feeling a little queasy. Toward the end of the game, I probably should have eaten one of those bars or something, but someone offered a hot dog, so I grabbed it and tried to be discreet about it, but obviously not discreet enough. So I shouldn&#8217;t have done that, and it won&#8217;t happen again.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sanchez praised the defense for making his job easy:</p>
<p>&#8220;It makes it so easy on the offense when your defense is playing like that. Hats off to them, they had a heck of a game to shut that team out. I don&#8217;t care who we&#8217;re playing, that&#8217;s a big-time accomplishment for our team.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jets&#8217; coach Rex Ryan was very pleased with Sanchez&#8217;s performance:</p>
<p>&#8220;Sanchez was great. He was just smart with the football. I think sometimes he could have put the ball on a receiver, but he was making sure the ball wasn&#8217;t intercepted. It was great to see him respond.&#8221;</p>
<p>Raiders&#8217; defensive lineman Richard Seymour, who boldly predicted the team would make the playoffs despite their slow start, was singing a different tune after the rout:</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think we could have beaten an Oakland high school team today.&#8221;</p>
<p>Despite Russell&#8217;s struggles, Oakland coach Tom Cable remains committed to him as the team&#8217;s starter:</p>
<p>&#8220;I thought he was really out of sorts early in the game. I just did not feel like at that point he gave us the best chance to have the success we needed to have offensively and made the move. JaMarcus will continue to be our starter. There is no issue there.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Raiders will try to bounce back this weekend in a big rivalry game on the road against the San Diego Chargers. Oakland is +16&#8242; road underdogs with the total set at 42&#8242;. They&#8217;ll then enjoy a bye week before back to back home games against the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals. The Jets host Miami this Sunday, with New York a -3&#8242; home favorite and the total set at 40&#8242;. They&#8217;ll also have a bye week to look forward to before returning to action at home on November 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many businesses have implemented energy efficiency measures in their facilities over the past several years to help decrease operating expenses and aid the local and global environment. What a lot of these companies do not know is that sizeable federal tax deductions are available to them and also that time may be running out.</p>
<p>The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005) provides generous, immediate tax deductions to businesses for making energy efficiency improvements to their buildings. The federal tax incentives center mainly on efficiency improvements to lighting, HVAC and building envelopes and can be as large as $1.80 per square foot.</p>
<p>The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 extended Section 179D and EPAct 2005 so the act will not expire until December 31, 2013. However, that does not mean that time may not be running out for some companies.</p>
<p>For businesses that implemented energy efficiency projects in 2006 it is probable they filed their tax returns before April 15, 2007. If they were unaware of the deductions at that time, they are now at risk of losing those tax deductions forever since the IRS only allows a three year period to amend tax returns.</p>
<p>That means if you have not yet amended your 2006 tax return you have only a few months left to do so!</p>
<p>As an electrical contractor working with commercial and industrial customers you certainly have been thinking about ways to increase your sales and likely how to better utilize your current book of business to that end. You have also most likely been approached by your current customers asking what they can do to reduce their energy costs.</p>
<p>Have you thought about a strategic partnership with an experienced engineering firm that specializes solely in turnkey, energy cost reduction projects on a national level? One that can bring whole facility energy solutions to the table for you and your customers? A company that can provide a fast payback and increase cash flow for your customer?</p>
<p>Bringing in such a company will grow your business as you will be the one who is sub-contracted by the engineering firm to provide the installation services under their management and direction. You can use this approach over and over again with all of your customers and doing so will not only increase your revenues exponentially, it will also transform your customers&#8217; impression of you from simply another vendor to that of a valued consultant.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although many of his offensive records have now been left in the dust by Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux, former Boston Bruins/New York Rangers center Phil Esposito is still regarded by hockey experts as one of the greatest players in NHL history.</p>
<p>Esposito was born in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and his prodigious hockey talent quickly became apparent. He was signed by the Chicago Blackhawks as a teenager, and made his NHL debut in&#8217;64 quickly earning a spot on the teams top line between Bobby Hull and Marcel Dionne. In&#8217;67, Esposito was traded to the Boston Bruins along with Ken Hodge and Fred Stanfield. Within a few years Hodge and Stanfield blossomed into All Stars, while Esposito quickly took his place alongside his former teammate Hull as the best scorer in the league. Suffice to say that Boston fans were of the opinion that theyd gotten the best of the deal.</p>
<p>It wasnt long before Esposito started to destroy long standing NHL records. In&#8217;69, he became the first NHL player to top the 100 point mark (combined goals and assists) for the season&#8221;he obliterated the record with 126 points, which would be the first of six times that hed top the century mark. He topped 100 points in five straight seasons between&#8217;71 and&#8217;75, missing a sixth straight season by a single point with 99 in&#8217;70. Bruins fans were fond of displaying car bumper stickers that read Jesus Saves; Esposito scores on the rebound.</p>
<p>Esposito&#8217;s greatest single season was in&#8217;70-71, when he destroyed the NHL&#8217;s single season goal scoring mark with 76. That record stood until Wayne Gretzky of the Edmonton Oilers broke it in&#8217;81-82. Even now, only four other players including Gretzky have scored more than 150 points in a season and only five others have scored more than 76 goals in a season. Perhaps the most amazing element of Espositos game was the frequency with which he put the puck on net&#8221;Espo had 550 shots on goal in&#8217;70-71. No one has since come close.</p>
<p>In&#8217;75, Esposito was traded with Brad Park to the New York Rangers for Brad Park, Joe Zanussi and Jean Ratelle. By that point, he had been slowed considerably by knee injuries but his experience, intelligence for the game and nose for the puck made him a valuable component of the Broadway Blueshirts offense and he was named team captain. Until the very end of his career, he remained a dangerous scoring threat that all opposing teams were forced to reckon with.</p>
<p>After his retirement in&#8217;75, moved into the executive suite. He served as the GM of the Rangers before helping secure an expansion team for Tampa, Florida in&#8217;92. Esposito served as the President and GM of the Tampa Bay Lightning until&#8217;98.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Clemson Tigers used a touchdown pass on their first possession of overtime to upset the Miami Hurricanes 40-37 on Saturday night to cap a back and forth game. Miami kicked a field goal on their first possession of overtime to take the lead, but Clemson responded with a seldom used play on third and 11 to get the victory as quarterback Kyle Parker completed a 27 yard touchdown pass to Jacoby Ford. Clemson improved to 4-3 with the win while Miami slipped to 5-2.</p>
<p>College football betting devotees who backed Clemson as +4 road underdogs eventually cashed their tickets, but they definitely earned their money in a game that saw twelve lead changes and two ties. Clemson improved to 5-2 against the spread with the cover, while Miami dropped to 4-3 against the money. The 77 combined points sailed OVER the posted total of 43. It was only Miami&#8217;s second OVER of the season against four UNDER verdicts while Clemson has gone OVER in three of their seven games.</p>
<p>After the game, Jacoby Ford explained the logic for his suggesting the surprise play in the huddle:</p>
<p>&#8220;We knew this game was going to come down to who made more plays. And we did.&#8221;</p>
<p>Miami has a history of winning when their offense is clicking-this loss was only the second in 115 games when the Hurricanes score 37 or more points dating back to&#8217;85.</p>
<p>For his part, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney is glad this one is over:</p>
<p>&#8220;I have a birthday next month and I think I&#8217;m going to turn 50 instead of 40. We had to put on Superman capes. We made plenty of mistakes that could have lost us the game, but they played with poise and confidence. We just kept battling.&#8221;</p>
<p>CJ Spiller was also a big factor for the Tigers as he set a school record with 310 all purpose yards including a 90 yard kickoff return for a touchdown. He also added 81 yards rushing and 104 yards receiving with a 56 yard touchdown catch.</p>
<p>Clemson QB Parker suggested that last week&#8217;s win over Wake Forrest was a turning point for his team:</p>
<p>&#8220;I think last week we realized that we could be really good and this week we acted on it. I thought we really got some explosive plays and we played well.&#8221;</p>
<p>Miami&#8217;s quarterback Jason Harris sounded a different tone in his postgame comments:</p>
<p>&#8220;This has to be my toughest loss here. We fought so hard throughout the game as a team and didn&#8217;t come out with the victory. We let Clemson outwork us, we turned the ball over too much &#8212; little things that made us get to this point.&#8221;</p>
<p>Clemson will host FCS foe Coastal Carolina next Saturday before resuming ACC play the following week at home against Florida State. They&#8217;ll travel to North Carolina State on November&#8211;. Miami plays two of their next three on the road, starting next weekend at Wake Forest. They&#8217;ll face the University of Virginia at home the next week before traveling to Chapel Hill for a game against North Carolina on November&#8211;.</p>

<p>Gracie family patriarch and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu pioneer Helio Gracie died in early 2009 in Rio de Janeiro at the age of 95. Its impossible to overestimate his influence on martial arts, and particularly his pathbreaking role in what is now the sport of mixed martial arts. The Gracie family name will forever be synonymous with Brazilian sports, jiu-jitsu, MMA and the UFC&#8221;not only due to Helios own accomplishments but the legacy he created both by training others and through his family.</p>
<p>Helio Gracie began studying martial arts early in life, and by the age of 16 had already begun to teach judo in his native Brazil. While Helio had no problem mastering the theoretical aspects of judo, he found that many of its techniques required a great deal of brute strength which made them less effective for a smaller fighter such as himself. Along with his brother Carlos, he began to adapt many of judos techniques to make them more reliant on leverage rather than strength. This experimentation led to the creation of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) which is often referred to as Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in his honor.</p>
<p>Gracie also had a professional fighting career, taking on champions from other disciplines in a forerunner to modern mixed martial arts. These bouts were grueling, unregulated affairs with rules that were often made up as they went along and time limits that seem barbaric by todays standards. By his own recollection, he had 15 fights against the top fighters of his day. He began his career in&#8217;32 by submitting professional boxer Antonio Portugal (whod likely never even heard of a submission at that point, let alone experienced one) in just 32 seconds. Later that year, he fought American catch wrestler Frank Ebert to a draw after the ringside doctor ordered the bout stopped after an ungodly fourteen ten minute rounds.</p>
<p>His most famous battle was against Japanese judo legend Masahiko Kimura, resulting in a rare loss for Gracie. Despite the setback, he fought bravely and may have actually enhanced his legend after refusing to submit to a reverse arm bar (the same modern MMA submission that now bears Kimuras name). Only after his arm was broken did his brother Carlos throw in the towel.</p>
<p>Helio Gracie&#8217;s impact on fight sports and mixed martial arts would continue through his offspring. Married twice, he had seven sons (Rickson, Royler, Rolker, Royce, Relson, Robin and Rorion) and two daughters (Rerika and Ricci), many of whom went on to make their own mark on the fight sport world. Royce Gracie is well known as the first UFC superstar, while sons Rickson Royler, Renzo have also achieved considerable fame in professional MMA.</p>
<p>The cause of Gracies death was officially given as natural causes. His last words will go down as a fitting envoi to a man who gave so much of himself to fighting:</p>
<p>Gracie&#8217;s last words are as follows:&#8221;I created a flag from the sports dignity. I oversee the name of my family with affection and nerves of blood.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thiago Alves dominated the former UFC welterweight champion en route to a 2nd round TKO victory at UFC 83. The main event at UFC 85 in London was somewhat anticlimactic to the fans at the O2 Arena who considered the semifinal matchup between Manchesters Michael Bisping and Jason Day the biggest fight on the card. Bisping actually improved upon his excellent showing against Charles McCarthy at UFC 83 and pummeled Day mercilessly from the top mount position until the fight was stopped.</p>
<p>Hughes didnt make any excuses following his one sided loss, saying simply that hes a good fighter and he got me. The longtime king of the UFCs welterweight division also gave notice that his career as an active fighter was drawing to a close, suggesting that he had one fight left and challenging Matt Serra in what presumably would be his retirement match. Hughes had no answer for Alves from the opening horn, as he was stuffed on several takedown attempts early on. When he did finally get his opponent to the ground he was unable to do much damage. Alves, conversely, scored effectively with his striking including several damaging knee strikes. He also did considerable work on the ground, with an elbow strike opening up a large cut on Hughes forehead.</p>
<p>The end came early in the 2nd round as Hughes was caught coming in by a devastating knee strike. He fell to the canvas in a heap and referee Herb Dean was jumping in to stop the contest before Alves could follow up with any punches.</p>
<p>Michael Bisping simply overwhelmed Jason Day en route to a lopsided TKO victory. Bisping built upon the improved boxing skills he demonstrated at UFC 83 by unveiling an impressive ground and pound attack. Day never really got anything going and by the last minute of the fight was simply trying to cover up to prevent damage from Bispings elbows and hammer fists.</p>
<p>In other action, Mike Swick used an array of high kicks and a 7 reach advantage to coast to a unanimous decision over Marcus Davis. Davis, a former professional boxer, was unable to get inside against his lanky opponent and was never really in the fight.</p>
<p>A controversial point deduction for a strike to the back of the head cost Nate Marquardt his match against Thales Leites. Marquardt was solidly in charge for the entire fight, but suffered a point deduction for an illegal knee strike in round one. While that infraction was valid, replays of the 2nd round deduction for the strike to the back of the head gave the impression that he was penalized for a legal strike to the side of the head. The 2 point deduction changed the outcome of the fight, with Leites winning a split decision by the scores of 28-27, 28-27, 27-28.</p>
<p>In the opening PPV match, another controversial ending saw Fabrico Werdum defeat Brandon Vera by 1st round KO. The fight had been evenly contested up until the stoppage, with Werdum scoring a couple of takedown and Vera countering with some effective punching. Late in the first round, Werdum got a full mount and began to fire a series of punches. Vera was clearly defending himself and didnt appear to be hurt at all when the referee jumped in to stop the fight.</p>
