So sad I thought this dress looked amazing in the online pics, but its not so great in the mirror. The "power mesh" is more like "weak mesh". The dress has no shape and no support to the fabric. I doubt that I can make this dress work. Maybe with AMAZING undergarments... anyhoo, I wouldn't recommend this dress and I wouldn't have bought it if I had tried it on first. January 18, 2014
True to size! I received this dress and was happy to see that it didn't run big. It's very elegant and fits the look I want for my wedding. January 2, 2014
Runs big for a wedding dress I went to David's to try on dresses and I was a size 12 in some and a 14 in others. I wear size 8 in women's clothing, and usually wedding dresses do run small. This is not the case with this dress. I ordered a size 12 and it is HUGE on me. I can't tell if it's "the one" because it looks like a nightgown. I easily would be an 8 in this dress, so I would recommend going with what size you are in regular clothes to get a better fit. I'm praying that once we take it in, and I see how it will look on me when it's fitted, I will love it as much as I do on this model. It's perfect for my picnic grove style wedding. December 23, 2013

Balls of both feet , opposite edges, heels open, toes together. It can be a backspin or a forward spin, crossed in front or behind. Do you have Carol Schulman's book "The Complete Book of Figure Skating?" In it, she lists the three types of cross-foot spins and has a good graphic to show the position.
I really like the Carol Schulman book as a reference guide. I own two copies, one for my office, one for my skate bag. It makes a great gift for a low-level figure skater.
The day before yesterday (Saturday) I fell hard on my hip and had to be dragged to my feet by two coaches. My hip only has a small bruise, but my knee was really sore and I could barely walk most of Saturday (even hopping hurt because it jolted the joint), but oddly it's back to normal now except for a surface bruise. I was doing a bunny hop.
I hadn't skated since about three weeks ago, when I was doing backward crossovers and fell over someone who'd fallen (thankfully didn't hurt him) and hit my leg so hard it started cramping.
Yeah, I'm not having a good time at the moment. :S
Bunny Hop, how is your leg/hip?
I hope you are not afraid of the ice now!!
I witnessed a bad fall this morning during my ice-dancing lesson. The feet just went away under this woman and she fell on her spine.
Luckily nothing happened but I was a bit shaken afterwards.
I still have a love-hate thing going on with skating. I am thankful that I can take the ice-dance time to train a bit but I hate that the coach tries to teach me a bit. Normally I am thankful for each tipp but she is crap. Complete crap. I try to do some of the things she tells me but she is not good at communicating and afterwards all the elements that worked fine for me are worse afterwards.
I know this sounds snobby and bad because I normally roll my eyes at people who cannot do a particular thing very well (like me, I don't skate that well) and then dismiss tipps. But she is really just disruptive.
Luckily, in the last 15 minutes of the session, another coach came over to me (she is a friend of mine and teaching the small children on the other end of the rink) after she was finished with her lesson and gave me some tipps. Therefore, my one legged spin improved a bit. And I did a salchow out of a mohawk and out of the loop stop (is that the English word?) for the very first time. Normally I do the salchow out of a three turn. But it is good to try some variety.
I can't do a salchow from a mohawk. Or, I can, but it's a very bad salchow, all muscled and not taking advantage of the edge at all.
In my program, I do back power pulls on the right foot then change feet to the LBI edge and do a salchow without a preceding turn.
I meant loop step (not stop).
gliding backwards with the inner edge on an outside edge and then doing a halfturn onto the forward inward egde and doing a mohawk afterwards. The sort of step skaters often do before a loop.
What is a power pull? That sounds interesting.
I like the salchow from a three turn better as well. But I think that is also because my three turn is more secure than my mohawk.
here is doing (repeatedly, in both directions) starting at about 3:02?
Check out the last move at the end of this videoWhat is a power pull? That sounds interesting.
Is there a name for it?
Good to know a new English word!
For the back power 3-turn, it helps a lot if you try keep the 3-turn as straight and flat as possible instead of round and curly. It also helps a LOT to keep the toes of your free leg really pointed. I think that's the best tip anyone ever gave me, because somehow it just keeps my whole body under control! This is a good salchow setup because it forces you to check your rotation before taking off on the salchow. When you do a salchow from a LFO 3-turn, it's too tempting to just take off on the jump like it's part of the turn instead of controlling that LBI edge first.

I like the test videos you posted. It is interesting to get some new ideas what to practice on, seeing that I almost never have anyone giving me tipps!!

Cold temperatures, heavy snow, and bad roads are not the only problems for Adams County residents.
"I got up at five this morning and I couldn't see anything. Usually there is a light on in the bathroom," tells Town of Rome resident Manetta Flouro.
Flouro is among a few dozen people trying to stay warm at the local town hall. A problem with a transformer in one of the main substations at Adams-Columbia Electric caused the outage. It left over 5,100 homes without power Monday morning, and sent Adams County into a state of emergency.
"It's not a good situation, but we've had good response from the public. We have emergency services in place, and we have an emergency call center set up," explains Chief Deputy Alexander Bebris.
The State of Emergency has launched efforts by the Red Cross and Salvation Army to find people a warm place to stay and hot meals to eat.
"When temperatures start dropping this low people can become chilled easily. Working with Emergency Services, we know some of the people at risk are children and the elderly," says Julie Schoening of the Red Cross.
Tonight the power company is advising that the power will not come back on until sometime Tuesday.
Plumbers recommend the following procedure to prevent pipe breakage due to freezing temperatures during an extended power outage:
* Turn off the power to the well.
* Drain the water out of the expansion tank in the basement.
* Starting in the basement, open all faucets in the house.
There is a shelter open to the public on Highway 13 in the Town of Rome. Call Emergency Management at (608) 339-4547 for more information, or on how to get a ride to the shelter.

Wilder: Oxford United need wins now
10:00am Friday 14th December 2012 in U's News By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
CHRIS Wilder has acknowledged Oxford United have little margin for error after a patchy first half of the season.
The npower League Two campaign reaches its halfway stage next weekend and since winning their opening three games, United have been off the pace of the leading pack.
While they are on a run of five games unbeaten in all competitions – the club's longest sequence since March – only one of those has been won after 90 minutes.
They head to Morecambe tomorrow 18th in the table and looking for a victory which would provide a boost heading into the busy Christmas period.
Last season a 0-0 draw at the Globe Arena started a run where the side lost just twice in 15 games.
Wilder is well aware of the need to put together a similar run to climb the table, but knows the longer the indifferent form goes on, the harder it will become.
He said: "Without a shadow of a doubt. Statistics will show you that, there's not a lot of margin for error.
"I do understand that with the results we've had we have to go on a run.
"I think Crewe had a point or two more than us at this stage of the season a year ago and they're playing League One football now, so we know it's possible.
"There's still a lot to play for. We just have to keep our heads down and keep trying to pick up results."
The return of Michael Duberry, the squad's most experienced player, to action in a practice game yesterday will be a timely boost.
It means the injury list is down to three players – Deane Smalley, Andy Whing and Jon-Paul Pittman – as good as it has been all season.
The inability to name his strongest side this season has been a major issue for Wilder.
He said: "I put the squad together and I know how good they are, but I've got to get them all out on the pitch.
"There's nobody at the moment more frustrated than me."
League Two was in the spotlight this week as Bradford City knocked Arsenal out of the Capital One Cup in a penalty shoot-out to book a place in the semi-final.
Wilder sent his congratulations to Bradford boss Phil Parkinson after the game and was pleased to see the underdog progress.
He said: "I've known Phil a long time and I've played at Bradford, so I was delighted for them.
"I thought they showed a real desire and willingness to go that extra yard for each other."
And the United manager believes it demonstrates how far the lower leagues have come since the start of his playing career.
He said: "Maybe the old third and fourth divisions 20 years ago people didn't have a lot of respect for them.
"You'd get the odd cup upset on a dodgy pitch but you look at it now and the standard has gone through the roof.
"There are so many good players plying their trade in the lower leagues and all credit to Bradford."

We must try to aim to finish above the lottery of the play offs .
80 points was enough to get 3rd place in 2010.
Just 54 points from 24 would give us 80 .
16 wins 2 defeats (6 draws)
or 17 wins 4 defeats (3 draws) is all we might need .
Yep, wins would be useful

Rated 5 out of 5 by JMBH Sheraton Philadelphia The staff was wonderful and extremely helpful. June 26, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Rosa01 It's okay but a fire alarm went off The hotel is kind of old or not renovated. I was in a conference and the hotel had a lot of miss-communication. Furthermore,at 5am the fire alarm went off and they kept saying" stay in the room" for 20 mins! June 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by gao18 Excellent hotel for all purposes I would rate 5 stars for all category if I was not happen to lost some sleep due to a fire alarm trigger by neighbor building. June 25, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by John751 Hotel has major service problems This is a good location property that I have stayed at a bunch of times....and have rarely ever had a good experience from a service basis. I was charged parking for the 3rd time in a row even though I did not park in their garage and I specifically mentioned this to the check in person. I was told I had to "CALL STARWOOD" because my profile was checked that I always park my car. Starwood claims that this is NOT a central office issue and rather a local hotel issue. To have the front desk argue with me several times on this is very frustrating when I am in a hurry to check out of the hotel is frustrating. I am platinum and have never had this problem with any other property. The other big issue is how thier systems integrate with Starwood. For the 3rd time, my stay has not been posted correctly in my Starwood account. This has required me spending time following up with Starwood and the hotel to get the issue resolved. It was not that I had an ineligiable rate, ...it was a AAA rate! Sheraton Philadelphia.....please fix your computer systems and train your people not to be rude...we are the customers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by bf707 comfortable and convenient I was very impressed with the layout of the lobby and the friendliness of the staff. The room was great and the view was magnificent. Only problem was the noisy air conditioner June 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MelMel43 Staff is the Best! This hotel is older, but very comfortable - especially the beds. What "makes" this hotel is the staff which is always very accomodating, professional, and friendly. The location of the hotel cannot be beat and has beautiful views of the Ben Franklin Parkway June 23, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Marie0918 Very Dated This hotel is very dated and needs to be renovated badly. The hotel room door was flimsy and didn't seem secure to me. The linens were clean and a little worn. Everything in the room was dated with the exception of the flat screen tv which makes it feel a little dirty to me. You can't tell if something is dirty or just old. I will not stay here on return trips until it's renovated and hopefully that's soon! I love the spg brands. March 20, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Bren12 Worst Sheraton Experience I used my points for a one night stay at this Philadelphia, PA Sherton and I am a gold member which they acknowledged by upgrading me to a junior suite. That was great until I got to the floor that the room was on and it was really dirty. Then I get to my room and the smell of smoke was so overwhelming that it gave me and my girlfriend a headache. This is supposed to be a non-smoking hotel. To make matters worse, we called down to the front desk twice to let them know that our room smelled like cigarettes but I guess it wasn't important to them because no hotel attendant showed up to fix the issue. So after 30 minute I went to the front desk and had the room changed. Then they downgraded me to a regular room that the TV wasn't even working in. I have stayed at plenty of Sheraton's and this was the worst hotel experience ever. I can guarantee that I will not be staying in this Sheraton ever again. March 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by charliei Extremely helpful staff I was staying at the hotel while attending a three day conference. Upon my arrive, I noticed that the two buttons underneath the sleeves of my dress shirt were missing. I asked the front desk rep if she had any safety pins and she happily gave me some thread and needle with two safety pins. I would have like to actually use the thread and the two buttons that can with it to sew on to my shirt but I didn't know how. Peggy, one of the housekeepers on my floor was gracious enough to assist me, as she sewed on the buttons for me. Superb service by staff. June 12, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Danton Needs a major renovation The heater sounded like a freight train going through the room every time it turned on. The sink barely drained; the toilet barely filled; the shower handle felt as if it was about to fall off. A fire alarm went off for over twenty minutes Saturday night. I understand that it couldn't be turned off until the fire department gave its okay, but there was never an all clear. I had to call the front desk to find out everything was safe. I was offered a room on a high floor when I checked in and accepted gladly. It turned out the room on the 16th floor looked right across the street at an office building. Finally, the bill was not split between the two guests in the room so we had to spend an extra ten minutes getting it cleared up when we checked out. This is the worst stay I have ever had at a Sheraton. January 31, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by miamiskyboy Great Location - Run Down Property The Good: This hotel is in a nice location. I stayed here for new years & it was convenient to most major attractions, restaurants & shopping in center city. The hotel offers a self parking option that was somewhat reasonable at $38 a day. While this might sounds expensive to some. It is somewhat reasonable for a hotel in Philadelphia. It allows for in/out privileges. The hotel has a large & open lobby that looks a bit dated, but was clean & welcoming. There was security standing at the entrance monitoring all who came in/out of the hotel. They did a great job at recognizing me as an elite member of the SPG program. Upon entering & identifying myself, I was whisked away to the SPG line where there was no waiting. I was made to feel like a VIP. They used the correct branded spg key holder that corresponded to my level, offered a goodie bag with snacks & Philadelphia's own Tasteykakes & breakfast voucher because the club lounge was undergoing repairs. The Bad: The hotel looks rundown. The elevator from the parking lot to the lobby was incredibly dirty. So was the elevator landing in the parking lot. Such a large hotel like this one. How could they not want to spend the money (minimal) to pressure clean that elevator landing on the P1 P2 floors, update the signage & clean those elevators. It is after-all the first impression a guest gets of the property. Once I saw the dirty entrance & that filthy elevator. I knew that the hotel was not going to be all that great & I was right. The hotel allows vendors to deliver to the guests rooms. So the hallways were full of Chinese, pizza & other delivery agents roaming the hallways. This should not be allowed for security purposes as well as customer service. These vendors are not only loud in the hallways, but they leave the menus underneath the doors & it looks awful & gives a terrible impression. The Ugly: I was checked in to a room on the 24th floor. The room was clean, but not super clean either. The flat screen televison sits on a wooden tray on top of the dresser. Mine was visibly broken on oen side & you could see all of the broken wood. It looks awful. How can they check guests into this room without first repairing that ? Again - no one seems to care here about the guests perception. The hallways are dirty, dark, & very outdated. The elevators are being renovated. So perhaps when they finish they will look better. But the elevators that I took felt like you were back in the 80's. The elevators here do not have key card access. Whoch means anyone can get inside & go to any floor they desire. Including the SPG floors & the top 26th floor where the lounge is. This is not acceptable. As most Sheratons & other properties in this segment, by now have the key card access elevators as a security measure. I was there for new years eve. The hotel had security at the door. But that was about it. The hallways were full of drunk guests being loud in the hallways. the crowd that stayed here was kinfd of rough as well. At one point the music & partying at 3AM from the room that was next to mine was unbearable. So I called the front desk - which did nothing about it. Verdict: If you are using your SPG points to stay here like I did, don't ! Its not worth it. Its hard to get & accumulate these points to waste them here. Stay here if you get a good rate, end up here because of a favorable priceline bid, get a blockbuster rate or hotwire. Otherwise - there are many other options in CC that offer a cleaner, more elegant & better maintained facility for the price. In an often superior location to this one. This hotel has a major advantage which is the great customer service from the front desk staff & the concierge. If they could just up the security & pay more attention to the details like lobby plants, decorations, renovations, cleanliness & maintenance. This would be one of the best hotels in CC.

Rated 4 out of 5 by JMMCK Great Hotel and Staff Great Hotel and Staff; however, the hotel is due for renovations. The carpeting is deplorable and overun with snags and bulking mounds in the hallways and inside the rooms. Management needs to do a thorough walk-thru and make improvements. March 26, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by AJC1973 Not the cleanest Room had trash from last person left. Paint peeling. Carpet doesn't reach the wall. Bathtub doesn't drain (everytime I have stayed here). Fitness center nice but way too hot. Almost too warm to tolerate. Lobby restaurant and bar decent. Overall a subpar stay. March 24, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by ruggerdoc Avoid if at all possible This hotel is in desperate need of updating and a good cleaning. I stayed on the 6th floor; the hallway carpets were stained (with what I have no idea nor would I care to guess). The rooms were outdated - looks like they did probably 15 or more years ago. The room itself was incredibly noisy- you could hear conversations from the room next to it (being held at normal conversation levels). I'd look for any other hotel but this one if staying downtown. It needs to be bought up to current standards or at a minimum cleaned top to bottom. The carpets felt so dirty I wouldn't dare walk around the room barefoot. Sad. Normally have good experiences at Sheraton. November 9, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by RottenMilk This hotel is dirty I've stayed at this hotel numerous times and have always found this hotel is sub-standard. It is extremely dirty and I've been served spoiled milk in the lounge and restaurant multiple times. Check-in is very time consuming, and the internet is extremely slow. I do not recommend this hotel. October 27, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by Chris11 Not what I expected I reserved the King size bed with the Philly Overnight Package which was to include Complimentary Self Parking, Philly's More Funteddy Bear And Coupon Book. I did not receive any of it upon my arrival. I was downgraded to a queen bed handicap room with a walk-in hand held shower. And I paid $20 for self parking. The room was disgusting, the sheets had makeup on them from a previous guest, the carpet was stained and gritty feeling on bare feet, there was no blow dryer or garbage can in the bathroom and a burnt out light bulb. After complaining I was given two free breakfast buffet coupons for my inconvenience. I have stayed at other Sheraton Hotels and been very pleased with rooms and service but this hotel was a very big disappointment. November 7, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by Ray68 Unprofessional I reserved my room seven months in advance and reconfirmed my reservation the day before my arrival, but when I arrived they informed me that they did not have a room available for me. They did the same thing to at least two other families that were in line with me. They also lied when I tried to check in, telling me that they were waiting on housekeeping, which obviously wasn't true. Completely unacceptable...I will never stay at a Sheraton again. November 19, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by bestman not up to par for Starwood Property It starts with filthy elevators. The stainless steel doors were covered with dust...you could write your name. Informed an employee who was in the elevator with me and he said he would take care of it...still dirty 2 hours later. The cordless phone by the bed did not work...reported it at 7Am when I departed for a meeting. When I returned at 10 PM no resolution. One morning I requested change a the front desk for a $20. They said sorry, perhaps I could try the restaurant. I am an SPG Gold member, so was very disappointed with this property. I live in New Orleans where all hotels pride themselves on service...this was seriously lacking at the Sheraton Philadelphia. January 28, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Complaints Worst Sheraton I've Ever Stayed At. This hotel is outdated, extremely unclean, and the staff is hit or miss. I've stayed here numerous times and it continues to dissapoint (I have now switched hotels as I travel frequently for work). Do not stay here unless you have no other options. October 27, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Armey Good lodgings Excellent bath room. I didn't have to fight to activate the shower. Room could have used a fridge. June 18, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jesse disappointed Despite Gold status, I was given a room next to the elevators, so all night I heard them going up and down (sounded like the wind was constantly blowing). Internet was also down one of two nights and very slow the other. Housekeeping caught me at the elevator as I was leaving for conference and asked me if I needed my room cleaned (strange to ask...I didn't ask for new sheets, but told her to refresh towels). November 16, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by SandraPhilly Front desk staff unreliable Stay here all the time. Front desk staff have MISSED crediting "Make a Green Choice" points for the vouchers I turned in TWO times in 2 different weeks! This was after they reassured me they'll take care of it at checkout. The hotel isn't great, but when the staff aren't reliable and don't do what they promise - this hotel becomes horrible! January 21, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by MONSTRO They gave my room away My first stay has not been impressive. Pros: Great location, bar is fun and has a great staff Cons: A little run down, but that is fine. What is NOT FINE is that when I arrived at the hotel I was informed that some manager gave my room away. I was able to get a parlor room but was very offended that the manager refused to come out and speak to me about it. I reserved the room weeks in advance and do not expect to be bumped. I was lucky to get a parlor room and sleep on a roll-away bed. the three guys behind me....not so much. Apparently they are supposed to find a new room at 10pm. Very poor and unprofessional management, I will be filing a complaint with SPG. May 21, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by jovijerseygirl You pay for what you get Breakfast was not included and there was not a fridge in the room. For $150, it was just OK. June 17, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by madw A couple of things The hallways in the hotel were smelly, first of animals, and secondly urine. the room service was tardy the room was not cleaned the 1st day, till a call was placed. February 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sunshine185 very comfortable Very comfortable and clean rooms. Hallways and common areas very well kept. Staff very professional and helpful. June 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Matt3141 Fabulous Staff, Great Location, Good Weekend Rates Very pleased with my first stay at this particular Sheraton. Great location - very convenient to the convention center, Chinatown, Reading Market, Franklin Institute, Art Museum, etc. It's a short walk from 30th St. Station if you have only a roller bag or backpack (or five minute/$5 taxi). Hotel itself was super comfortable; great beds, excellent workspace/desk and chair, new HD TVs, good shower and bathroom. Front desk staff were exceptionally nice, and gave me a cute Philly souvenir for my niece! I did not have a chance to go to the hotel's restaurant or lobby bar, but there's an Irish pub nearby. I will definitely return to this hotel when I come back to Philadelphia. December 30, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by Laurel63 Disappointed I stay here all the time. I was in charge of a class being taught at our office and had suggested to all that they book at the Sheraton. I was appalled at the various rates each person was charged, the difference in room amenities, and the over all quality of the room. As a frequent guest, and familiar with the staff, perhaps they "take care" of me? But MY guests had sub-standard rooms, in my opinion. The only reason to stay here at this point is proximity to the office. June 9, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by laundry checkin after making reservations several months in advance, for three rooms, as Starwood Gold guests, check in was a nightmare! I understand the hotel was busy and most likely full, but that could not possibly be a surprise to the staff. With one desk attendant at noon, the line was out the door, the rooms were not ready, by 5 I had not rcvd the promised phone call, so went through the line again, went out without a room, got the call during the evening, and finally checked in all three rooms at 11:30 PM April 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Purp1eranger My Stay! MY STAY WAS ABSOLUTELY RELAXING AND VERY COMFORTABLE!!! I HAD A AWESOME TIME AND MY ROOM WAS REMARKABLY CLEAN!!! March 11, 2013

RALEIGH Sometimes it's easy to forget that Jeff Skinner is 20 years old, still evolving as a player in the National Hockey League.
Carolina Hurricanes fans at PNC Arena begin to rumble when Skinner carries the puck into the offensive zone. They're waiting for Skinner's cunning and creativity to kick in, for the forward to make some improbable spinning move – the "Skinner-rama" – to the net and score.
Canes coach Kirk Muller respects Skinner's skill and flair and doesn't want to harness him. What he does want is a wiser, more complete player.
Muller didn't see that complete player in the season opener against the Florida Panthers, and he moved Skinner off Jordan Staal's line for the home opener Tuesday. His message to Skinner has remained the same: play harder defensively, smarter offensively.
Skinner responded Tuesday by working harder, by scoring the Canes' goal in the 4-1 loss to Tampa Bay on the power play.
"I do see a maturity level. Responding the way he did was an easy assessment of how he handled the criticism," Muller said Wednesday. "I thought he was our best forward (Tuesday). He had a good game.
"But now I'm like, 'OK, that was a good game, now you've got to bring it back with another good game.' That's the way it is. He practiced hard (Wednesday) and we want consistency."
Skinner had 31 goals as a rookie two seasons ago, when he won the Calder Trophy, then another 20 last season despite missing 16 games because of a concussion. He has always had the knack, the touch, for putting pucks in the net.
And as a defensive forward? That's still a work in progress, but Skinner is willing.
"Personally, for me, it's something in my game I want to get better at – defensive-zone awareness and positioning and all that," Skinner said. "I think if you do that you'll generate more offense because of it. It's the mentality, I think, we have to get into our game."
As for accepting any offensive challenge, Skinner says he's learning that, yes, sometimes the smart play is to dump the puck and chase. Sometimes, it's dump and get a line change.
"It's sort of maturing, if you can call it that," Skinner said. "There's a time and a place to try guys and try some things. Going down one-on-two across the blue line, maybe at the end of a long shift, is definitely not the time to try something.
"That's sort of been a problem in my game, personally. You're not going to score every shift. Sometimes you just have to play good defensively and get off, then try it again next shift."
Muller has made Skinner a part of the Canes' front-loaded power play unit with Eric Staal, Jordan Staal, Alexander Semin and Joni Pitkanen – the big guns together. The Canes converted just once in five power-play opportunities against the Lightning, on Skinner's backhander off a rebound, but there was sound puck movement and scoring chances.
"From my position, you've got Eric Staal in the slot and Semin behind him," Skinner said. "It's tough for teams to defend. You've got to respect both those guys and it opens up a lot. Jordan, in front, causes a lot of traffic. We just have to stick with it and keep it simple."
At times Tuesday, Muller had Skinner playing left wing on Eric Staal's line with Semin. In Wednesday's practice, Skinner was back on Jordan Staal's line opposite Zac Dalpe. Jiri Tlusty was shifted to left wing on Eric Staal's line, and Jussi Jokinen centered a line with wingers Drayson Bowman and Chad LaRose.
Despite the 0-2 start, the Canes hardly appeared flustered Wednesday. Muller had his players working hard in practice, putting them through competitive drills as they prepared to face the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday at PNC Arena.
"I think we need to get a little more desperation in our game but I don't think there's any need to panic," Skinner said. "Just sort of stay on track, keep getting better and stay with the game plan."

I have a Polk PSWI 225 which normally works great but lately is not coming on as often as before. When watching movies with strong bass, it comes on and stays on. But when watching TV, it is often not coming on at all or going off pretty quickly. It never did this before. Makes me wonder if it needs cleaning or something similar. I did try turning both the wireless transmitter and subwoofer on and off to reconnect but no change.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help.

FELINE NONHEALING nodular or ulcerative dermatoses can present veterinary practitioners with diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
These lesions can initially be mistaken for cat bite abscesses, but empirical abscess management consisting of drainage, cleansing,
and short-term systemic antibiotic treatment routinely fails. Feline atypical mycobacterial panniculitis (AMP) (also called
opportunistic mycobacterial granuloma) is one of many causes of chronic, draining, nodular skin and subcutaneous diseases in cats. Feline AMP results from infection
with rapidly growing Runyon group IV mycobacteria. In the previous article, we reviewed the clinical and diagnostic features
of AMP. This article focuses on the treatment options available in cats with AMP.
To initiate the best therapeutic plan, confirm an etiologic diagnosis of AMP by morphologically identifying the infecting
mycobacteria in cytologic or histologic samples and by obtaining a positive, noncontaminated tissue culture. Performing antimicrobial
susceptibility profiles on atypical mycobacterial isolates also facilitates successful treatment planning and implementation.
Once a definitive diagnosis of AMP is established, practitioners and clients are faced with several treatment choices, including
medical therapy only or a combination of medical and surgical therapies.

I make marketing better with brain & behavior research
Do you get LinkedIn connection requests from people you have never met or don't know at all? For me, at least, those kinds of notifications far outnumber requests from people I actually do know well. That may not be surprising – after all, the set of people we know is very small compared to a planet full of strangers.
There's an interesting divergence in LinkedIn's approach to such connections. While they instruct their members to connect only with people they know, their process design is clearly set up to maximize the growth of connections.
Here's what LinkedIn says about connections: "On LinkedIn, the basic type of connection is a contact you know personally and who you trust on a professional level." That's fairly clear, and for a long time I rebuffed connect requests from strangers, random trade show contacts, and others that I didn't know well enough to vouch for at some level. (I'm less fussy now, but that's another story.)
The other day, I accidentally approved a request from a total stranger who offered no explanation of why he wanted to connect. When I looked at the LinkedIn email notification, I realized how easy such a mistake is – look at the design of the the notification email:
Does anything seem odd about this? In fact, the design of this notification looks like it was ripped from the pages of conversion expert Tim Ash's definitive tome, Landing Page Optimization. There's one highly visible call to action in the email – an obviously clickable button labeled "Accept."
There is indeed a way to check out the potential connection first, but it's far from obvious. It's a tiny text link not placed near the accept button but at the top right-hand corner of the email. It's not a button, it's not shaded to emphasize the potential for action, it's not underlined – the only nod to making it look clickable is its blue color.
Clearly, this is an email designed to convert contacts into connections. Presumably, LinkedIn doesn't want to hit a self-imposed growth ceiling created by making it difficult to connect. (At some point, they eliminated the need to know a person's email address to initiate a connection request. That, no doubt, had a significant effect on the number of stranger requests.)
I don't have a problem with knocking down barriers to connecting on LinkedIn. I've contacted people I didn't know via LinkedIn (always with an explanation in my request), and have approved similar inbound requests. These contacts have resulted in interesting discussions and opportunities.
What I do find odd is the divergence between LinkedIn's stated policies and the conversion architecture of their notifications. (The on-site experience varies. In a dropdown, the "Ignore" button is the same size as the "Accept" button – ideal usability, for me at least. But, when viewing a profile of a member who wants to connect, there's only an "Accept" button.)
What's your approach to LinkedIn connection requests? Are you picky, or do you think it pays to maximize the size of your network regardless of how well you know your connections? Do you think LinkedIn has a split personality when it comes to increasing the number of connections? Share your thoughts in a comment!
Roger Dooley is the author of Brainfluence: 100 Ways to Persuade and Convince Consumers with Neuromarketing (Wiley, 2011). Find Roger on Twitter as @rogerdooley and at his website, Neuromarketing.
Actually, I got rid of LNKD when I got tired of all of the requests from people I do not know and I found out that LNKD was selling members information for a profit without letting the members know who their informationwas being sold to it soured my view of the company.
Most people probably don't have a problem with it, but I do. Seems like an opportunity for abuse.
LinkedIn has its issues, as do all of the social sites. I can't blame you for being soured by some aspects of it, but I still feel it's the best of the lot. You have to manage it so that only information that you're willing for the world to have access to is posted there, regardless of your privacy settings.
As for the question Roger poses at the end of his article, I don't think it's binary. There's a whole scale in between. I do not accept requests from people I don't know automatically. I check their profiles, and if it looks like connecting would make sense, I accept. I've met some interesting people that way, and only rarely have I regretted accepting someone. This is also a reason for maintaining a reasonably complete profile, since I'm not going to accept your connection request if you don't give me a good reason, either in the text of your request or on your profile.
Regarding LinkedIn's split personality, I've noticed it, but don't spend cycles worrying about it. I pay attention to what I click on, so they're not fooling me. If you're a "careless clicker", you have more to worry about than just LinkedIn.
Maybe I am odd in this way too. I never look at the adds.
I'm picky about my connections on LinkedIn. I struggle to see the point of being connected to lots of people I don't, and probably never will, know. Whenever I get a random contact request–and, as for you, this happens very regularly–I send a polite email to the sender asking why they'd like to connect and explaining the way I use LinkedIn to stay in touch with people I know. Most of the time I never get a reply, telling me I did the right thing not to accept the request. Sometimes I get an email of apology saying it was a mistake. And sometimes I get a reply from someone who really wants to get to know me and is over the moon I made the effort to write them an email. Sometimes this even leads to some paid consultancy work for my company.
Is this social engineering by LinkedIn? Yes, possibly. But it's no worse than Forbes' deliberate placement of behavioural targeted tracking ads placed strategically between your article and this comments section. It's the Internet – if you click on something you'd better be prepared to face the consequences ;-)
I'm intrigued to see how Forbes.com's comments system works. It appears that my comment has been buried (or, rather 'not called-out' to use the correct terminology) so others must now click on an 'expand comment' link to make it visible. I'm sure this can have nothing to do with my mentioning the ad placements between articles and comments on the Forbes site that may have been designed to maximise intentional and unintentional clicks. No, it couldn't possibly be that. Perhaps my comment was uninteresting. If so, I'm very sorry.
BTW I have no issue with these or any other online ads. I work in the marketing industry so understand this well. It just struck me as comment-worthy to find a writer critiquing LinkedIn's approach on a site that uses very similar techniques.
I take it all back. My comment was 'called-out' 2 minutes before I posted this reply. My faith has been restored.

ALOHA, Ore. -- An Aloha cell phone customer hoped recycling her old phones could help someone, until she dropped one off and later got a huge bill from Verizon.
Cathy Buhler said she has gone through a lot of cell phones, so when she heard about a program to donate her old phones to help battered women, she took her old phones to a Beaverton Verizon store.
But then she realized one of the phones was still active, with all her contacts still stored in it.
"The manager reassured me that's not a problem," Buhler said. "They wipe the phones clean of all the information and they make them only 911 dialable."
That was last February. In July she noticed her cellular bill was really high. She was charged $631 because someone else was using her donated phone.
"Still active, still attached to my account," she said, "same phone number, same phone."
She said she talked with four different Verizon employees by phone and at the store, and they all blamed her.
A Verizon spokesperson declined to talk on camera.
In a statement he said, "We have confirmed that the customer's phone was received at our facility, deactivated, and cleared of all customer data."
But Buhler said that's not true. She said she called her donated phone, the one she was billed for, and a man from Georgia answered.
"He tried telling me he bought the phone off the street and it had been activated in a program which he would get 230 free minutes," she explained. "And I said, 'Yes. You'll get 230 free minutes because I'm paying for them.'"
Since Buhler contacted Unit 8, Verizon has dropped all charges associated with her donated phone, and issued a statement reading, "We have addressed and resolved all issues to the customer's satisfaction."
She said that statement is now true, but she had to call Unit 8 before Verizon would do the right thing.
"I will never donate a phone again," she said. "I will sadly say pollute the landfill at this point, because my trust has been shattered with them."

Recent Kentucky Reviews
Everything about this little cottage was absolutely perfect! Very clean and comfortable, the grounds were amazing and the ponds tremendous. It was more than met our expectations! The cottage was stocked well with towels, spices, cooking equipment, and a grill. Firewood was always available for us to use when making a bonfire. The hummingbirds were beautiful to watch and we loved getting to feed the horses carrots in the evenings. The owners are such very nice people!. They were sociable, helpful and yet gave us our privacy. They cared very much that we enjoyed our stay! They supplied great directions to the cottage and told us where we could go to the grocery store upon our arrival. We highly recommend this cottage when visiting around the London, Kentucky area. In fact, we posted pictures on one of our social media websites, and many of our friends and family members have expressed interest in visiting this little bit of Kentucky Heaven. While visiting this area we also enjoyed Cumberland Falls Park, Wildcat Mountain Civil War Battlefield and the trails, and the Vendor's Mall. Such a lovely area. We travel quite a bit, and if there is a more friendly, warm, inviting and serene location; we have yet to find it!-- We love this place!

How to Sync an iPod
This set of instructions will show beginners how to sync their iPod with music, photo, and video files(assuming your iPod supports video). This tutorial will assume you're using the newest version of iTunes and Windows, also that you have basic computer knowledge.
Sync an iPod Step 1 Version 2.jpg1Take your iPod and connect it to your computer via the USB cable provided, iTunes should open automatically. If this is the first time using your iPod, iTunes will prompt you for setup information.(If you're using Windows you will probably get a pop-up window asking what you wish to do with the device, since we'll be using iTunes, you can close this).Ad
Sync an iPod Step 2 Version 2.jpg2Next, you'll want to import your media into iTunes. You can do this for audio and video files by either dragging a file from where it's located on your computer, or clicking File/Add File to Library..., and then locating/selecting the file(s) you wish to import.(Image 1)
Sync an iPod Step 3 Version 2.jpg3If you have too many songs in your iTunes for your iPod to hold all at once, You'll be asked to either deal with iTunes syncing random songs from your list each time you sync, or to make a playlist with your favourite songs that iTunes will always sync from-even when you make changes to it. To make a playlist, click File/New Playlist from your toolbar. An appropriate name would be iPod sync, or something along those lines, but you can name it whatever you wish.
Sync an iPod Step 4-preview.jpg4Next, drag songs you wish to sync to your iPod onto the new playlist you just created. You can select more than one at a time by selecting a file, then shift clicking another file above or below it to select both files and all in-between. If you don't want to select all of the in between files, use a control (ctrl) click and click the ones you want.
Sync an iPod Step 5 Version 2.jpg5From the side of the screen, select your iPod from the list of Devices. You should now have a screen showing your iPod, with it's capacity, software version, as well as options you can use at the bottom of your screen for syncing. The option "Sync only checked songs and videos" is nice if you want to sync only some stuff from a playlist, but it's not really necessary.
Sync an iPod Step 6 Version 2.jpg6Now to set up your iPod to sync from only the playlist you want it to. From the screen you're already at, select music from the tabs at the top of your screen. The default tab should be Summary. It should have "Sync Music" then "Sync all songs and playlists" selected as default. Now we want to change this to "Selected Playlists" Now, you want to choose the playlist you made for your music, and check it off, making sure all other playlists are left unchecked.(Music isn't actually on your iPod yet, just ready to sync).
Sync an iPod Step 7 Version 2.jpg7To sync videos, once again change the tab at the top to "Movies". Now check all of the videos you wish to sync, or create a playlist if you have lots of videos much like we did for music. You can also just turn off video syncing entirely, by unchecking the "Sync movies" box.(Videos aren't actually on your iPod yet, just ready to sync).
Sync an iPod Step 8 Version 2.jpg8Now, to sync photos. First, make a folder on your computer with all of the photos you want to sync, or you can just use the "Pictures" folder that is the default save location for image files on your computer. You'll want to change tabs at the top of your window to "Photos" Where it says "Sync photos from:" click on the drop down arrow and locate the folder containing the image files you wish to sync.(Photos aren't actually on your iPod yet, just ready to sync.)
Sync an iPod Step 9 Version 2.jpg9Lastly, to sync apps (iPod Touch). Go to the 'apps' tab on the top bar, and check the 'sync apps' box. iTunes will automatically sync all of your apps, so if you don't want all of them, check the ones you do in the bar on the left. You also have the option of customizing your home screen or screens, but you can also do that from the device. To customize your screens from iTunes, click and hold on the app you want to move, then drag it to wherever you want to move it.
Sync an iPod Step 10 Version 2.jpg10Now you're ready to sync. Navigate back over to the summary tab of your iPod's window.
Sync an iPod Step 11 Version 2.jpg11Sync iPod. Click the sync button and your iPod's screen should read "Sync in progress, do not disconnect"(message differs from iPod to iPod, depending on what model/type you have. Your iTunes should also show you that it's syncing at the top part of the window where it usually displays what you're listening to.
Sync an iPod Step 12 Version 2.jpg12When iTunes reads "iPod sync is complete, okay to disconnect" you can disconnect the iPod safely. Your iPod message should change from the 'do not disconnect' warning to a battery icon, indicating that the iPod is charging and is no longer syncing. You can either disconnect your iPod now, or leave it in to charge.Ad
- If you synced your iPod on somebody else's computer and want that music to remain on there, you will first have to back up the files or the sync will overwrite your data.
- If you have data or
music on the iPod from a previous sync make sure to back it up, else iTunes will overwrite it with a new sync.
- Caution: Only use iTunes to sync your iPod. Using other software will likely void your warranty and could possibly break your iPod.

Visiting Washington Hospital & Special Care Nursery
Newborn babies in our neonatal intensive care units benefit from love and attention. We encourage parents and immediate family members to spend as much time as they wish with our patients. Brothers and sisters of any age are welcome to visit; however, parents must be responsible for their supervision. Siblings may participate in selected patient activities when space and staffing permit. We request that you limit the number of visitors at any one time in consideration of other patients and the time necessary for our care teams—including you—to provide nurturing care for your child.
ID Badges
All hospital visitors must wear identification badges or stickers to ensure the safety of our patients. Parents receive badges at the time their child is admitted. Other visitors must check in upon each visit at the main lobby Information Desk to obtain a "Visitor" sticker. We encourage you to ask anyone visiting your child to show their hospital identification to you. All hospital visitors must be accompanied by a parent or designee of a parent in our Special Care Nursery at Washington Hospital.
Patients admitted from the Washington Birth Center to our Special Care Nursery will have received armbands at the time of their birth. Parents and their baby will have matching armbands from the Birth Center, which should be worn at all times and only removed upon baby's discharge.
Contagious Disease Screening
To maintain the healthiest environment possible and to avoid infection of patients, visitors will be screened for contagious diseases. Please do not bring to the hospital any children who display signs of contagious diseases or who have been exposed to measles or chicken pox. We also encourage everyone to follow our handwashing guidelines.
Finding a Patient
If you would like to locate a patient who is hospitalized, please call the Washington Hospital operator at (510) 797-1111 or visit the Information Desk located in the lobby.

Continued growth may present its challenges for a school district, but West Clark Community Schools is figuring out what to do with the extra students and how to accommodate them.
Monty Schneider, superintendent for the district, said this year could bring in some change and mild expansion for the district, but while it's not embracing some of the technology initiatives of its neighbors, its still offering some advantages its immediate competitors don't.
How's the 2013-2014 school year going so far?
We feel it's a good start. I hope to say that most years when we get started, it seems like it's always hectic because our growth has a lot to do with it and getting our final schedules out and things like that. We're careful about adding new employees because we're essentially in the same financial situation we were in during 2007.
We get additional money for more students, but the amount of money we're getting is similar to what we had in 2007. We haven't had any raises in a number of years and that's how we're still able to manage. We started the year with two new principals and also with a new employee at the West Clark Education Center, which is our alternative program. We've made some administrative changes.
West Clark continues to grow pretty steadily. What's that doing to your district?
We have about 25 new teachers. Some of those for replacement for retiring teachers and things like that. We added two additional teachers on the Silver Creek Campus just to take care of the increased number of students. Right now, we look like we're in the 60 to 75 range on additional students at West Clark.
In this day and age, most people lose students and we've continually grown. That may be a little bit less than we've had in the past years. I think some of the other schools are making greater effort to retain students and to get students. We have not done that simply because of room.
I'm sure we could attract more students, but space is getting to be a premium, especially on the Silver Creek campus.

Can't wait for 5.3 to get my paws on all the new goodies. Especially looking forward to going back to BC raids and especially looking forward to not having to spend another day fishing for carps.

The Pandaren Fishing Charm has nothing to do with these carp appearing as secondary to other fish, it happens regardless. I caught my carp as a secondary with no charm. So the two are unrelated. Saying this because there have been misleading comments about this supposed connection.
Caught in river in Vot4W right next to Galleon's spawn point. No fishing charm, 376 fishing skill (no lure, no hat, no pole). Appeared in lootbox along with Golden Carp. Open water. Caught in under 20 casts on this particular alt in this location.
For a while I was convinced these didn't come in rare quality, because after 400+ battles in Jade Forest I hadn't seen one after getting every other Jade Forest pet in rare. But they do. I was doing battles around the Arboretum leveling a pet, when one showed up as a secondary to a Wild Crimson Hatchling.
To the people who are confused about the quality of this pet: the item that teaches you the pet that is mailed by Sho in a chirping package is always rare quality. But when you learn it, it can show up in your journal in any quality, depending on RNG. So far I've gotten two alts exalted with Sho and the crickets are poor and common.
Has anyone received more than one from bags? I got one early on, been trying to get one for a friend by doing dailies and so far haven't seen it again.
Edit: Confirmed you can get more than one from bags on the same account.
Got home and logged into my alt parked at Karazhan. Cross realm zone time was 8:37 am. These guys were all over the place, probably close to 40 spawns, most of them in the cave-like part. I had to rush because I didn't want them to despawn at 9 am, managed to get a rare after about 30 battles. This is on a high pop server, so I doubt noone was there to grab the initial spawn at midnight, which tells me they spawn more than once a night.
Got a rare one (lvl 13) while looking for rare twilight iguanas in Thousand Needles. It joined the fight with a poor quality iguana.

Ontario rockers PS I Love You made a splash with their 2010 debut, Meet Me at the Muster Station, a record that's packed with scuzzy guitars and thunderous drums. It's enough to make one forget that the band's a duo -- guitar/vocals and drums -- they manage to sound far more sweeping and epic than their lineup. Frontman Paul Saulnier wails and croons while his riffs drive and fall, and drummer Benjamin Nelson holds it all together with a rhythm section that's as simple as it is raucous. When Saulnier lets loose and tears his guitar to shreds on acclaimed single "Facelove," heads roll and jaws drop. Frantic, scattered indie rock has never sounded so good.
