From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
In research, the ecological validity of a study means that the methods, materials and setting of the study must approximate the real-world that is being examined.[1] Unlike internal and external validity, ecological validity is not necessary to the overall validity of a study.[2][not specific enough to verify]
Ecological validity is often confused with external validity (which deals with the ability of a study's results to generalize). While these forms of validity are closely related, they are independent—a study may possess external validity but not ecological validity, and vice versa.[1][2] For example, mock-jury research is designed to study how people might act if they were jurors during a trial, but many mock-jury studies simply provide written transcripts or summaries of trials, and do so in classroom or office settings. Such experiments do not approximate the actual look, feel and procedure of a real courtroom trial, and therefore lack ecological validity. However, the more important concern is that of external validity—if the results from such mock-jury studies generalize to real trials, then the research is valid as a whole, despite its ecological shortcomings. Nonetheless, improving the ecological validity of an experiment typically improves the external validity as well.
In the original meaning of this term however it would be impossible to refer to a study's 'ecological validity' since this can only be a property of stimuli used in a perceptual experiment. Brunswick first introduced this term but the popular use (meaning basically 'realistic') has overtaken it, at least in A Level Psychology circles. For the original (and some feel correct) use see the entry on 'ecological validity - perception' and especially the paper by Hammond, 1998, which is referred to there. This can be accessed at: http://www.albany.edu/cpr/brunswik/notes/essay2.html . Brunwick's term which is closer to the current 'pop' meaning of ecological validity is 'representative design'.

Looking at my thematic theme, which is slowly taking shape, there seems to be a lot of white space at the left side/margin. I'm using a 2c-r fixed layout. Which bit of which stylesheet do I change to shift things over to the left?
ThemeShaper Forums » Thematic
margin query(6 posts)
just add the following to your child theme's style.css:
.main-aside { width:300px; }
.. and increase the width of the sidebar.
Or add:
#content { width:540px; }
.. and increase the width of the content.
Thank you very much for taking time to respond. This has been most helpful.
Hi Chris,
Thanks for this info. I am pretty new in CSS. I deleted a sidebar from my Thematic wordpress blog and I wanted to widen my pages and make margins look even on both sides of the screen. Would you be kind enough to guide me through? I tried the
.main-aside {
} on my child theme, however it did not work. Thanks in advance.
do you mean, you've removed sidebar and do not have/wish to have a sidebar?
if so, you need to target
#container and #content
set the #container and #content to the width of your liking and and then using margin:0 auto;
#container { width:600px; margin:0 auto; } #content { width:600px; }
you dont not have to specify the width of #content as it will fill up available space in #container, but that said, if your css already has a value width for #content, change or delete it. jeez, i ramble.
try the code above and see how you get on. paste in style.css
hope this helps.
@Jonny Janiero, you are a genius!!!
It worked.
Thank you very much for your help! Now, I just have to reorganise my pics and get the site up and running. Thanks a lot! :)

Right here, right now.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White takes to the airwaves to clear the air on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 15: "Live" on FX, which is a new twist on an familiar cable television mixed martial arts (MMA) reality series.
White goes into detail on the whole "live" angle and the broadcast, particularly the commentating -- or lack thereof -- as he and coaches Dominick Cruz and Urijah Faber watched the fights ringside and evaluated the talent. Apparently, there were a few complaints about the dead air and mumbling throughout the 2.5-hour broadcast, but he says that moving forward the show will appear "exactly the same" because "nothing is different."
Except for the "live" fights at the end. Whatever.
In other footage, White takes us behind the scenes of UFC 144: "Edgar vs. Henderson" in Saitama, Japan, and then the following week at UFC on FX 2: "Alves vs. Kampmann" in Sydney, Australia.
Steve Cantwell, Norifumi Yamamoto, Frankie Edgar, Ben Henderson, Quinton Jackson and Ryan Bader all featured post-fight in the locker room after their respective bouts in the "Land of the Rising Sun." We also get a great look into White's initial reaction upon hearing the news that the Featherweight fight between Ian McCall vs. Demetrious Johnson was a draw after it was announced "Mighty Mouse" won via split decision.
It ain't pretty.
Martin Kampmann is also featured after his stunning, come-from-behind submission win over Thiago Alves in the main event "Down Under." Joseph Benavidez, who stopped Yasuhiro Urushitani with a vicious sequence of punches, also gets his props for advancing to the final round of the 125-pound tournament.

News: LMFAO Rapper's Honduras Show Ends In Fire, Venue Goes Up In Smoke
Friday, Dec 30, 2011 8:28AM
LMFAO's Redfoo had to end a deejay set in Honduras prematurely this week after a fire reportedly erupted causing smoke to fill up the venue.
Police suspect the fire may have been maliciouly started by an unknown party.
LMFAO was forced to stop their concert early in Honduras last night -- when a fire burned through the concert venue ... but cops believe the blaze was no accident. According to local news reports, the fire broke out at the Coliseo Nacional de Ingenieros ... towards the end of the LMFAO concert. The group reportedly ended their show after smoke began to fill the arena. According to the reports, no one was killed in the blaze -- but at least 15 people were treated for smoke inhalation. Cops told local media ... they suspect a "criminal hand" set fire to the electrical system. It's unclear if any arrests have been made. (TMZ)
Immediately following the fire incident, Redfoo tweeted his reaction.
"Epic concert tonight!!!! Everybody in Honduras, we set the place on fire!!!! #sorryforpartyrocking ...yeah baby," he tweeted December 29th. (Redfoo's Twitter)
He later opened up on what went down during Wednesday's performance.
Through LMFAO's label, Interscope, Redfoo gave this account to MTV News: "All of a sudden, right in the middle of 'Beatockin,' my manager Ian Fletcher shouted, 'There's a fire under the stage. We have to go!" "I didn't want to go!" he continued. "I didn't realize how serious it was. The security escorted us out the venue. We were forced to leave a few items behind, nothing irreplaceable. "I hope everybody is safe," he added. "Honduras fans are true party rockers! This will go down in history as one [of the] craziest Redfoo DJ sets ever." (MTV)
Outside of the fire buzz, LMFAO's latest album continues to fly off retail shelves.
Rap duo LMFAO's Sorry for Party Rocking made a five-slot jump to No. 16 with 74,000. After 27 weeks, their newest offering stands at 475,000 sold records. (SOHH Sales Wrap)

Court ruling on Vanuatu PM's election eligibility due next week
Updated at 6:40 pm on 1 February 2013
The court ruling on the eligibility of Vanuatu's Prime Minister Sato Kilman to contest the recent election has been deferred to next week.
Port Vila MP, Willie Jimmy has filed a petition against Mr Kilman claiming that the Prime Minister did not clear his alleged outstanding debt of about US$120,000 in government rent before he contested the October election.
The Daily Post reports the Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court, John Obed Alilee saying that the court will hand down its decision next week based on preliminary points relating to the petition.
At the preliminary hearing earlier in the week, the Attorney General's representative told a packed Supreme Court that Mr Kilman had a case to answer.
Reports from Port Vila suggest that political manoeuvrings are underway, with some members of government being lured by the Opposition, in anticipation of the court ruling.

It's that time of the offseason where the dreams of some young hopefuls get postponed. This coming Tuesday, 15 Chiefs players will be starting the job search as John Dorsey trims the roster from 90 to 75. Here are my predictions on who gets the boot.
Most of these players are guys who haven't made an impact and are dead weight on the roster. Don't say goodbye to Ricky Stanzi quite yet. Seeing that statistically he and Bray have been neck and neck, I think Dorsey/Reid will let them battle it out next week to see who gets the 3rd QB spot. I believe it will be Bray who ultimately wins out, but if they gave Jon Baldwin a shot they'll give 'Merica a shot, as well. Also, I saved Vince Agnew from his atrocious play versus New Orleans because he helped himself at least survive until final cuts with the PAT block against the 49ers. He also was right there with Tysyn Hyrtmyn on the FG block tonight.
If you see a name you think should be gone, feel free to comment below. Just keep in mind they will probably be gone by next Friday anyway.

Exclusive: Robin Thicke Joins The Likes Of Ne-Yo, Chris Brown & Aretha Franklin W/ Garden State Show
Wednesday, Aug 22, 2012 2:05PM
With R&B star Robin Thicke slated to takeover New Jersey tomorrow (August 23) night, Bergen Performing Arts Center spokesperson Angela Thomas tells SOHH the significance of his Garden State show.
Thomas noted Thicke's appearance will have him join the likes of renowned music stars Chris Brown, Ne-Yo, Aretha Franklin and more who each have graced the bergenPAC stage.
"bergenPAC is proud to present Robin Thicke in this rare area performance. You've heard his music! You've seen him on Duets! Now see him perform live at bergenPAC in Englewood New Jersey," Thomas told SOHH in a statement. "Bergen Performing Arts Center is northern New Jersey's most vibrant not-for-profit performing arts center - a home to hundreds of world-class performances reaching audiences of over 150,000 each year. Performers have included Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross Ne-Yo, Chris Brown and so many more." (SOHH)
She also emphasized the impact Metropolitian-area concertgoers can have on future performances by coming out Thursday night.
"Whether you are new to bergenPAC, or whether you are a regular throughout the season, now more than ever we need you to become member. bergenPAC relies on your generosity to help bridge the gap between ticket sales and operating costs. A balanced budget enables us to provide quality acts, affordable pricing, AND offer arts education programming to over 30,000 children--regardless of ability to pay." (SOHH)
Thicke's latest album Love And War dropped last December.
Certified platinum by the RIAA in March 2007, Evolution of Robin Thicke album made to number five on the Billboard 200 while topping their Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The more focused and refined Something Else, a 2008 release, peaked at number three on the Billboard 200 and R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. Sex Therapy, led by its Polow da Don-produced title track, was issued during the tail end of 2009 and narrowly missed the top of the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Love After War, Thicke's fifth studio album, followed in late 2011. (bergenPAC)
Recently, the soulful singer talked about his relationship with wife Paula Patton.
"What I realize about the difference between me and my peers -- you know, Chris Brown and Drizzy Drake and all my musical peers -- is that they haven't been with the same woman for 18 years and I've been with a Black woman for 18 years. I've never dated a White woman. Don't want to. I've never been on a date with a White woman." (Essence)

The Ripley Bonfire is one of the best supported bonfire events in the South East. Taking place on the last Saturday of October, it attracts up to 15,000 people. As well as the bonfire and spectacular firework display there is an extensive funfair, food stalls, a bar which has a perfect view of the bonfire and fireworks with live music.
On this website you will find all the information you need to know to ensure that you have a fun and safe time at the Ripley Bonfire.
From details of this year's event to the history of the Ripley Bonfire Association, to details of The Copse Bar and Pig Stall, we hope that we have covered it all, but if you feel that something is missing from this website please email us your thoughts via the Contact page.
Be sure to visit our Fund Raising page. The Ripley Bonfire relies on donations from the public and without your support we would not be able to continue with the event.
If you enjoy the Ripley Bonfire maybe you would like to help with running the event? If so, details on how you can help can be found on the Get Involved page.

Finally, don't forget to visit the Bonfire Build page where you can find out dates of this year's build and also follow a step by step guide on how to build a bonfire.
Once again, thank you for visiting our website and we hope to see you at the next Legendary Ripley Bonfire!
Nowadays the bonfire itself is built in what is known locally as the Pond Dip, however, this was not always the case. Until the middle of the last century the Pond Dip used to be a pond and the bonfire was built between the pond and the entrance to the green, a pipe was then laid right across the green causing the pond to dry up. I am sure that there were many disappointed people and ducks at the time, however, the good news for us is that this created an excellent amphitheatre within which we now build the bonfire so that the crowd has a great view.

Philadelphia Orchestra Files For Bankruptcy
Last Friday we reported that the Philadelphia Orchestra was on the verge of declaring bankruptcy. On Saturday, the orchestra's board indeed voted in favor of the measure — the first major American orchestra to do so. Philadelphia Orchestra concerts are expected to continue as scheduled for the foreseeable future.
The Philadelphia Inquirer's Peter Dobrin covered many of the details in this article yesterday. Orchestra officials — chairman Richard Worley and CEO Allison Vulgamore — have published a letter to patrons on the organization's web site, explaining why the board voted the way it did. They also announced a new fundraising campaign.

Jackals News
Jackals Stymie the StingraysFriday, November 23, 2012
ELMIRA, N.Y. - The Elmira Jackals picked up their third consecutive victory by taking down the South Carolina Stingrays 1-0 on Friday night at First Arena. The win improved Elmira's record to 9-6-1 on the season.
Click here for tonight's box score.
Click here for Dwight Mullins' post-game comments.
The first period was physical and intense as evidenced by the teams' combined 33 penalty minutes. It featured fights between Chaz Johnson and Alexandre Beauregard as well as Rob Bellamy and Art Bidlevski. Despite all of the rough stuff and power play opportunities, neither team was able to break through on the scoreboard. Marc Cheverie made his second straight start for the Jackals and stopped each of the 10 shots he faced. At the other end of the ice Ryan Zapolski was equally effective as he turned away all seven shots the Jackals sent his way.
Despite not scoring on a five minute power play and a 50 second 5-on-3 advantage in the first period, the Jackals' power play came through in the second and provided the first goal of the game. Andrew Rowe took a pass at center from Kyle Bushee and made a Stingrays' penalty killer miss just above the blue line to give himself a lane into the zone. He then chipped it behind the 'Rays' defense and out-raced both defenders to the puck. A quick snap shot beat Zapolski high to the glove side and put the Jackals in the driver's seat. Danny New and Kyle Bushee assisted on the goal at 6:39. Cheverie was at his busiest in the second as he made 11 saves.
After 10 combined power plays in the first two periods the Jackals and Stingrays played a majority of the third at even strength. South Carolina, in an effort to come back, managed most of the opportunities as it out-shot Elmira 10-to-6. Aiding that stat was the fact that South Carolina earned the only power play of the period when Artem Demkov was whistled for tripping at 15:07. Despite crashing the net as hard as they could, the Stingrays could not find a way to solve Cheverie and Rowe's goal proved to be enough for the win.
Cheverie stopped all 31 shots he faced to pick up his sixth win of the season. The Jackals were 1-for-4 on the power play and 7-for-7 on the penalty kill.
Mark your calendars!

Turn On or Turn Off? Metrosexual Men
by DearSugar 44 Reactions 1 Shares Print
As I'm sure you all know, metrosexual is the term used to describe a heterosexual male who has great taste in both lifestyle and attire and gives his appearance more attention than the average guy. I'll admit it: It freaks me out if a guy is more concerned with his looks than I am with mine. I know it's old-fashioned and a big double standard, but I really like low-maintenance men — clean and put together, but low maintenance! So what do you think? Are metrosexual men a turn on or a turn off?

I think many people don't know the difference between a 'metro' and a self-obsessed idiot. One takes good care of himself (and if I am anything to go by the same applies in most aspects of his life) both physically and mentally, enjoys looking good; firstly for himself, so that he feels good too, also we do it to make the effort for our better halves. We understand how much effort you put in, always doing your hair, or keeping up with the trends like some obsessed fashionista, getting some new and adventurous piece from a lingerie store so that you feel sexy and look amazing, I think I speak for the 'metro' population when I say we are very much visual animals and simply want to return the favour - feeling sexy and looking sexy for you - yes that is right - not just our homosexual cousins that can talk about their feelings. The male of the species might not like to speak as much as the female but then do you really ever give us the chance? - A comment made me laugh - about how you feel when you are waiting for a guy to get ready saying that: 'Then, I started seeing how annoying it was to see a man take longer to get ready than me, and is always conscious about me messing up his hair or getting his shirt wrinkled, and it became an instant turn off.' - silverlining (see above) Please tell me that you also see the irony in what you said? I hope there was a sarcastic tone in your head when you had that thought? No, well just in case I'll explain 'You have just described what women are like with guys day in day out and again for .... well ... forEVER.... - Thus I quote 'it became an instant turn off' - you need to take a very long hard look in the mirror or by the sounds of things poor you, you'd not get the chance to look at it - well buy another? As for the second - the self-obsessed idiot - well be it male, female, young, old, a modern Adonis gifted by the gods with blinding beauty or a hideous creature on whom tests would be needed to confirm if indeed it be human - this kind of, should we say person?, is to be avoided at all costs as the only thing they care about is themselves - they are the kind of people who don't clean up after their pets, or take absolutely no interest in their children's schooling - if you are with one of these no matter how clean they are or how great the sex-life may be - get rid and find a 'metro' a real 'metro' as formerly described above and elope together to capitalise on good-times.

Sun_sun - you're answer is inept on so many levels!! - There is no 'borderline gay', since either you are or you're not. Gay, as in queer, as in homosexual, is the state where someone has a sexual preference for those of the same sex be they male or female. I am sure you have heard that before, I am simply putting it down here so that perhaps you'll allow an idea to penetrate what I'm sure is a head well protected by the latest and most fashionable of haircuts, a guys eyebrows, eyeliner or high-heel boot wearing or his good sense of personal grooming have absolutely nothing to do with this at all. As a matter of fact I am much more into preening than any of my 'gay' mates are, I am in banking and my best mate who is 'gay' happens to be a stereotypical truck driver. You really need up reboot your hard drive because you're still running on ms dos. I suppose that the fact that that 'gay' market has 30% of the voting power in this country (UK) means nothing to you at all either. I for one am really glad that the 'gay' sector has paved the way for affluent out-going males to take an interest in fashion, expressing ourselves by make-up, a keen use of intellect and colour. I mean what do you want a brain-dead smelly trogladite who will actually make you capable of feeling in some way beautiful? Shut up, I mean like you must be like so Paris Hilton and stuff. Like who are your friends, Hydrogen and Peroxide? What do they do for a living?

I just like a clean man who smells nice! Jeans and a t-shirt with an occasional dress shirt is fine by me! I could never date a man who wore dress shoes and dress shirts every day (other than for work). Maybe its because my style is so casual. My bf takes care of the unibrow (though it took him almost a year of dating to admit that he plucks it himself) and once in a while asks me to cover up a small pimple with my makeup if one happens to appear in a really obvious place (ie the middle of his chin or the end of his nose, but he seems extremely embarassed) and that is fine by me! I wouldn't call him a metro, just image conscious.

I used to think metrosexual men were incredibly sexy. But I think that's because I hated the alternative--men who would wear shirts with holes, had BO and didn't take a shower for days. Then, I started seeing how annoying it was to see a man take longer to get ready than me, and is always conscious about me messing up his hair or getting his shirt wrinkled, and it became an instant turn off. I like men who wear clean clothes and takes frequent showers, but I won't ask for more than that.

I appreciate when my man takes the time to look good. But he does not spend as much time in the mirror as me, and if he did, that would freak me out.

I also just wanted to add in, that I don't like people that obsess over how they look when they go out, having everything perfectly in place, but that goes for guys and girls.
Muirnea 6 years
I said turn on. I don't think guys should be doing there eyebrows etc. etc., but really, I think its stupid that girls do those things too.... I think guys and girls should both have a good medium. I love guys that are fashionable and can take care of their appearance. It makes me mad that so many guys expect girls to always look perfect, hair done, make-up, perfect super sexy clothes etc. etc., the list goes on...but then they think its ok to look like they just woke up out of a pig pen. Umm...double standard!? And gross scraggly guys turn me off. If I'm going to look nice and fashionable and put together, then I want someone beside me to complement that look, not drag me down with them (b/c they look bad.).

I'd rather have a guy who takes care of himself and makes himself presentable than a sloppy guy who I always have to dress and double check his appearance before we go into public. Luckily my man knows how to dress so he ALWAYS looks good...now he doesn't need to pluck his eyebrows or anything, but he does his hair and takes care of his skin and trims what needs to be trimmed (facial hair when he grows his stubble in, nose hair, etc)... And it doesn't take long...maybe 10 mins top for him to shower, trim, and do his hair...and if you include dressing himself, total is about 15 mins......I take an hour LOL

It's a turn on for me. I think most of us are taking the word "metro" to mean the extreme end of it. i.e. Guys who wax their brows. A man who knows how to dress is and takes cares of his appearance...It's all good. I like the guy to be able to dress down and to dress to the nines without my help.

eh i clicked i dont care either way-i guess bc i have dated some metros in the past, but now my fiance is the complete oppisite. i once dated a guy who had more shoes than me (not a bad thing, but they were all lined up pretty against the wall). then one of my ex boyfriends was the worse when we'd go out bc i'd drive to his house and walk in and he'd be blow dryin his hair and then had to make sure every little peice was in place- it was kinda sad really.

Guys just need to be clean hygienically, and not do something outrageous like wear a blue and a red sock together, or a track suit to a gala. Any excessive Narcissus-syndrome is a big turn off. I'll take that department, thank you :D

as long as it doesn't go too far! i like a man who dresses well and cleans up nice for me and makes an effort with his appearence, i do. but i don't want a man who worries about his appearence all the time and spends more time getting ready than i do. i also want a man who can also be low maintenance- like if i want to go grab breakfast saturday morning he'll throw on jeans and a hoodie with me and be ready to go- that's something that doesn't require a whole metro routine!

I'm with you, danielle. I don't want him to be checking his appearance every 5 mins though. He should dress well, smell GOOD but also be confidence enough in himself that he doesn't believe that those things make him who he is. Vanity is NOT attractive.

My vote= turn ON, but there is a line. There's nothing worse than a man with unruly body/facial hair, and/or no sense of style. I like my men to dress well, be well groomed (nails, hair, etc,) and smell yummy! Mmm.

I actually wouldn't mind. After being around guys who are scruffy, unkempt, and have very little fashion sense all day, I welcome a guy who will bother to take of himself.

I think it's definitely good when guys care about what they look like. By this, I mean, they don't just throw on a gross shirt from a pile of clothes each morning but actually care to look nice. Like most people, I don't want this to be over the top, but I don't like scruffy unclean guys who don't have fashion sense.

Is it metrosexual when a man takes pride in a well-groomed appearance, looks good, and wears cologne? Seems to me like alot of guys don't wear cologne these days. Man, is it a turn-on when they do! Mm. Aren't Brad Pitt and David Beckham labeled 'metro' at times? I think they're extremely sexy. Love it!

Turn on. I don't go for the double standards. People should live the lifestyle they want to live. One thing I dislike is anyone, man or woman, who is either too high or too low maintenance. There are shades of grey when it comes to labeling certain men 'metrosexual'. Not all metrosexuals are whiny, high maintenance pansies. Not all tomboys are aggressive, low maintenance butches.

I'm not keen on it personally, I like a man to wash and wear clean clothes, but I think a lot of guys are taking it a bit further. One of my friends used to work part time at a ysl make up counter when we were in school, and a man came in, explained that he wasn't gay, but wanted some eye shadow to bring out his eyes. She nearly laughed, this was about 5 years ago, either before the metrosexual phenomenon began or before I realised it existed.

I definitely want my man to take care of himself and I want him to look groomed. But some things just go too far...one of my close guy friends called me at 2 am one night freaking out because he thought he found a stretch mark. He wanted me to help him find products online to help eliminate it, and he kept saying how depressed he was that he has a stretch mark. Well, after 2 days, the damn thing disappeared, it turned out to be something else! In the meantime he had spent hundreds of dollars on purchasing products online. Oh, another thing he did was laser the hair inbetween his eyebrows. LOL.

What could be arousing about a man who has feminine tendencies. I don't know if this is a trend or just the media's way of influencing men to become bi-sexual. I hate it..."Where is my John Wayne?"

I like my man to wear cologne, but it smells SO MUCH BETTER when the cologne lingers after his ball game and he's sweaty and stinky....it smells like HIM...mmmm....nothing better! and i dont mind when he's all smelly and hairy...who cares??? he's a MAN! he should be dirtier than me ;)

WASHINGTON -- Just over two months ago, what transpired Tuesday evening at Verizon Center would have seemed to be something out of a Hollywood movie.
The Washington Capitals -- who at one point were just 2-8-1 and in dead last in the NHL standings, having just an estimated 2.16 percent chance of making the playoffs per Sports Club Stats -- wrapped up the final Southeast Division title with a 5-3 win over the Winnipeg Jets.
Alex Ovechkin -- who spent the first half of the season under fire from critics who wondered if he was washed up or even should be traded or bought out - fired in his league-leading 31st goal of the season as an empty-net insurance goal after recording a crisp assist on a key goal in the second period. The two points pulled him just three behind Sidney Crosby in the Art Ross Trophy race.
The contest also featured two remarkable goal-saving plays by Washington defenseman John Erskine, who helped Capitals netminder Braden Holtby erase two good Winnipeg scoring chances, including a chance that he literally stopped at the goal line.
"I did what anyone would have done," Erskine simply said. "I happened to be in the right spot at the right time and kept the puck out."
Thanks to some strong work by the grinders, a nifty goal off the top line, and strong play in the defensive zone, a team that looked like an absolute mess back in early February moved to 10-1-0 in April with points in 12 of their last 13.
While the Capitals in recent seasons have authored some remarkable rallies down the stretch to claim a playoff spot -- most recently clinching the Southeast in their final game in 2007-08 -- this one may be the most improbable.
Washington has gone 24-10-1 since losing 5-2 to Pittsburgh back on February 7, and now will claim the third seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs after erasing a 10-point deficit to Carolina and then outlasting a challenge from the surging Jets. The Capitals have reached the playoffs six straight seasons, five of the last six as division champs.
Heading into the Southeast Division game for the Capitals, Capitals forward Matt Hendricks drew on an important game the Capitals were crushed in last year to create a much different result.
"Last year, we had a similar situation in a game against Buffalo here, and kind of laid an egg," Hendricks said. "We knew it was an important game and they were going to come to play desperate hockey, at the same time, we had two games to go in the regular season and controlled our destiny, we wanted to stick to the system and let it do its work."
The Capitals rolled out to a lead on goals by Hendricks and Jason Chimera, and after the Jets tied the game late in the second, Nicklas Backstrom delivered a tip-in of an Ovechkin pass to give the Capitals a lead they wouldn't relinquish again.
Backstrom, who was part of that 2007-08 team that qualified for the playoffs on the last day of the season, was asked if this was the most satisfyingdivision title.
"Yeah, I think so. Especially when we had to recover from our tough start."
"I think we believed in ourselves," he added. "We talked a lot in the locker room and kept everything for ourselves. We worked hard every day, started winning games and you get confidence and keep rolling. That's what it's all about."
Hendricks also credited the Capitals' first-year coach, Adam Oates for his work.
"Through all this, I felt like we were going to come around, and sooner or later, and it worked out like we envisioned," Hendricks said. "It was kind of that even keel that comes from the coaching staff to the last player. We came in here, we're a confident group, we can play with anybody."
"It is a good feeling," Backstrom said of reaching the playoffs. "That was our goal from the start of the season, it's been up and down like a roller coaster, but I think we stuck together and worked as a team, and now we're in the playoffs."
But while the Capitals authored a memorable evening, Oates knows the team has bigger goals.
"It was a good game, a hard fought game, the building was electric," Oates said. "They played very well I thought, and you know, it kind of had a playoff atmosphere to it. We'll talk about that tomorrow and move on."

It's an amazing epitaph to the GameCube's life and it's certainly the best game from Nintendo this year. If you've been on the fence in any capacity, then please rest assured that you'll not be disappointed. Nintendo's flagship game has arrived in style and you better damned well appreciate it. It's ultimately fantastic.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is one of those few genre-defining games that while clearly dedicated to fans of the series, also serves as a wonderful adventure for those new to the series.
It's still the most cinematic, engrossing Zelda we've ever played, and as such, deserves nothing but the absolute highest recommendation. Flaws are present, sure, but we'll burn our entire library of games before we say Twilight Princess is anything but incredible.
Twilight Princess was a long time in coming, but the game's depth will make it last even longer among the Zelda faithful. [Feb. 2007, p.95]
But the moment the opening symphony plays until the concluding credits, all fear and doubt quickly vanishes like the cool whispering of an autumn's breeze. Though not flawless, Nintendo have once again demonstrated masterful craftsmanship, challenging design and imaginative artistry.
Twilight Princess contains the same expertly designed puzzles and time-tested gameplay that you've come to expect from the series, though parts of its presentation feel stuck in the past.

It was just last year – May 2009, to be specific – when Denny Hamlin spoke of how aggressive teammate Kyle Busch was, and how it would always result in Busch winning more often than Hamlin.
Hamlin felt it just wasn't in the cards for him to be a frequent visitor to Victory Lane.
As he said at the time:
"It's not my style. My style and Kyle's style are two different things. Through our careers, he's always going to be a guy that has more race wins than I will – but I'm battling for after Race 36, who's on top there. ... If I'm going to win a championship, I need to run top-five every week. I don't need to win every week."
When he spoke those words, Hamlin had only four career Cup victories in three-and-a-half seasons of competition.
Since he made those comments, he's won 12 Cup races (Busch, meanwhile, has only won four races in the same time span).
What the heck? How did Hamlin – who still labels himself as "the consistently top-five guy" – win eight races this season?
If you think about it, what Hamlin has done is statistically amazing: In the second half of 2009, he matched his career wins total in a single season by winning four races. Then this season, he matched his career wins total again by winning eight.
Hamlin showed few signs this was coming. He swept Pocono in his rookie season, then won once in 2007 (New Hampshire) and once in 2008 (Martinsville).
Then, starting at Pocono last year, he went on a tear. He won one race per month in the final four months of the season and followed it up this year with the eight victories.
Reminded of his comments now, how does Hamlin explain what his winning ways?
"I had never seen the speed in us we've had this year at the point that I did that interview last year," he said. "I feel like I found another gear somewhere in the middle-to-end of last season – whether it's in my cars or in myself.
"Ever since then, we've had the speed that Kyle's had."
Hamlin figured if he ever won a championship, it would be with only a handful of wins in a season. Now on the cusp of his first title, Hamlin could claim the 2010 Sprint Cup as this year's top winner.
"I think it's just my mentality and my conservative approach on the racetrack most times that I say I will probably never win as many races as him," Hamlin said, "because he puts himself out there at risk a little bit more than I do.
"Sometimes it will pay off and sometimes you'll finish 30th because of it. I'm just more the consistently top-five guy. That's pretty much been my M.O. for my whole career."
Perhaps. But it sure doesn't seem that way anymore.

The Downbeat - 29 June 2009
- Thanks to Shums for the name and thanks for the votes. Johnny 5 is not alive I guess.
- Will we learn opt out news today? Now that the draft is over, is there any advantage to waiting until the last minute?
- It will depend a lot on who opts out, but who's top on your FA wish list?
- Who was bigger, MJ or Elvis?
- Apparently everyone in the world saw Transformers 3 times given the billion dollars it has made already. Current player comparisons - Deron = Optimus Prime, Harp = Ironhide, who else you got? Google autobot list wikipedia and cue Linkin Park...

Fall Foliage Travel Cruise - Sunday 10/06/2013
Wow, "Did we pick the right weekend to see the leaves or what?"The Hi Lites Motor Club will be participating in a "Fall Foliage Travel Cruise" on Sunday, October 6th.
We started this tradition last year and had an absolute blast. We take a easy ride (5 mph under the speed limit) with a large lineup of beautiful cars and get more looks, waves and cheers than the train ride at Knoebels. Last year we had 23 cars and about 30 participants. This year we hope to make the event even bigger.
Cars will start to gather at 8:30 AM at "Gunn Brothers Garage" (across rt 118 from the Citco Station in Lehman) and will head out at 9:00 AM.
We are planning on having some coffee and light snacks between 8:30 and 9:00.
The travel cruise will head out to the "Quaker Steak and Lube" restaurant located in the Buckhorn section of Bloomsburg. The travel path will have us head west on RT118, turn left onto 487 South and then take the onramp to I 80 in Bloomsburg. The restaurant is just off the Buckhorn exit on I 80.
After spending some time at the Bike Barn, we will continue on Rt 11 North and arrive back in Lehman sometime mid afternoon.
Although participants are not required to travel to Bill's Bike Barn, we would ask that those who choose to head home after the meal, wait in the Quaker Steak and Lube parking lot until all others who will be following the cruise have left for Bill's Bile Barn. Last year there was a lot of confusion when cars wanting to go to Bill's were following cars that were heading home.
After a nice meal and a few photos, participants are welcome to continue on with the cruise to "Bill's Bike Barn, located only a short distance away, (10 -15 min) where participants will be able to see vintage motorcycles, military displays, and vintage posters and memorabilia. (Check out their web site). There is $5.00 admission per person to Bill's.
This travel cruise is open to all members and friends of the Hi Lites Motor Club.
If there are any questions, please use the contact form on the Hi Lites website.

Suspended Williams ok to look for jobs
Maybe this was what Munchak was waiting for ... since the Titans obviously have a very hard time hiring outside of anyone that hasn't already worked for the franchise. Since Munchak probably isn't capable of recruiting high-profile coaching candidates, this would give him the best chance of truly upgrading the DC spot with someone that has a very proven (albeit tainted) track record of success at the NFL level.
Although the idea of bringing in a media lightning rod isn't what I want most in the world, I can't make myself think he'd be a worse option than Jerry Gray.

Ecclefechan Scottish Tarts
A southern Scotland tradition, these tarts are named for the village of Ecclefechan, a suburb of Lockerbie (much as Christmas is a suburb of Bithlo here in Central Florida). They consist of a shortbread crust with a filling of sugar, eggs, nuts and dried fruit. Some better known cousins include pecan pies, Canadian butter tarts, mince pies and shoo-fly pies.
I got the recipe from a friend we visited on vacation, Peg Murray. In addition to Thanksgiving, I've made them for office and church festivities where a number of people have asked for the recipe, so here it is.
Use two 9" tart pans (with removable bottoms) or 9" round cake pans lined with heavy foil. Only bring the crust partway up the sides.
Preheat oven to 375°
3 c flour
8 oz butter, softened
6 T sugar
3 egg yolks
3 eggs
6 oz butter, melted
9 oz light brown sugar
3 T wine vinegar
12 oz mixed dried fruit ( I like to use Welch's Berry Medley - raisins, cherries, cranberries and blueberries - but suit yourself)
3 oz walnuts
With mixer or food processor, whip butter.
Add all other ingredients and mix until it holds together in a ball.
Divide in half
Press into tart pans to form crusts
Chop fruit and walnuts until small - 1/8"
Mix all ingredients thoroughly
Divide between two crusts
Bake at 375° for 20-30 minutes
Serve at room temperature
Ith gu leòir! (Bon appetit!)

Different Donuts
A Maple Frosted Donut topped with Bacon. How could I not try it?
The morning after Thanksgiving in Ft. Myers, I asked my phone where to find the best breakfast. It recommended Bennett's Fresh Roast, right across the street from my hotel. It was a great recommendation, and I had asked for the the best in town, not the closest.
The Maple Applewood Bacon Donut was indeed excellent, as was the cinnamon roll, which used a very flavorful extra cinnamony spice. My wife enjoyed a seasonal donut with pumpkin pie filling in the center.
Bennett is about freshness: the donuts are made from scratch and the coffee is roasted daily, all on premises. In addition to the usual glazed, chocolate, cinnamon and maple bacon donuts, you'll find Key Lime, Peanut Butter Chocolate, Orange Coconut, and more.
It doesn't stop with donuts. Next time I'm in town I'll try some Praline Bread Pudding. They also have soups, salads and sandwiches for lunch along with wine and beer. (Maple Bacon Donut with beer...no, I'd better not.)
Bennett's is located just west US 41 a block from the Caloosahatchee River. It has seating indoors and outdoors with plenty of parking and wifi.
The only downside I could find is that I don't live in Ft. Myers. Maybe that's fortunate.

Saucy Grub
There is good food and good fun, but Famous Dave's is really all about the sauce. Its signature ingredient seems to be an extra scoop of cumin, giving it a more chili-ish flavor than most barbecue sauces. First time visitors get a tour of the sauces from their Famous® server, ours was Famous® Amanda, who squirts samples of the five types onto a plate and leaves some chips for sampling them. The chips, by the way, are excellent on their own.
In fact, most of the grub we tried was quite good, from my wife's Fried Chicken Salad to Mom's Baked Potato loaded with everything including chopped pork. My chicken was fork tender and juicy, the BBQ beans flavored with sausage and occasional chunks of jalepeño for kicks, and Cornbread right between the sweet corn muffins I like and the plain, crumbly bread many prefer. Ribs were the weakest link: while juicy and fall off the bone tender, they had no real flavor of their own, though that did make them a good platform for enjoying the sauce.
|Loaded Baked Potato
|Chicken and Ribs
This is a chain, but the good kind that gives a town another option without saturating the market. I've been to one before in the Atlanta area and all of Florida has only three. But they seem consistently good and I'd recommend them anywhere.

Texas Q in Winter Park
The sandwiches does make the trip worthwhile, but every thing else I've tried, including the beans and collards, is just a point or two above standard. The one item that has disappointed is the Cornbread Salad. According to the menu, this is "Crumbled cornbread served with a sweet tomato dressing over chopped Romaine and topped with bacon." I was surprised that everything was well stirred, not tossed, making terms like "over...Romain" and "topped with" irrelevant and a lot less appetizing than the description. Twice.
Overall, though, it's a decent place for Q, especially if you're hankering for a sammich.

Hope and Change
Servers, here's a tip. When I hand you two twenties for a $30 tab and hope to keep it all by asking, "Do you need change?", you're wrong. I hear, "May I have all your change for my tip?" I generally leave a decent amount, but if you request a gratuity, that irritates me and I will leave less. If you say, "I'll be right back with your change," I appreciate your consideration and may even leave more than I had planned.
Words do matter.

text: I have been breaking down the WRs in this draft for about 3 months now. It is especially enjoyable because as a player I can learn and watch in awe of the talent these players have. I play WR and CB for my High School.Here are some of the WR prosepcts that seem like a fit in our system: Juron Criner of Arizona, Marvin Jones of Cal and Rueben Randle of LSU. Anyone want some analysis on any of the three? If interested I'll post something up. Thanks.

In the first episode they meet an unyielding English bull terrier with a bark much worse than its bite, a collie that hates postmen and a toffee-nosed terrier on a crusade to clean up the neighbourhood.

text: It seems this will continue to be a problem until it gets addressed in the draft. Both owners have hinted that an upgrade is needed in the LB corpz. Possibly we address this situation via free agency, which seems to be in the Giants plans every few years as we sign more free agent LBs than by drafting them. Perhaps this season we change up the gameplan regarding one of our weaker areas. I have seen that Travis Lewis is going back to Oklahoma and Bruce Carter will be coming off ACL surgery. So let me ask a few of you draft experts out there...because Mel Kiper is a douche and well Todd McShay aint much better. I visit Mockingthedraft and WalterFootball enough and it appears many believe Akeem Ayers out of UCLA may be the pick here? Who knows, most likely a top DE will fall into our laps and we will end up taking them instead. Who are if any besides Ayers would be a worthwhile, in a crapshoot draft to boot, to draft at any LB spot.

This is how 6:40AM sounds nearly every single day lately:
"Good morning, sweetheart!"
So on Saturday morning, we wandered down Main Street window-shopping for antiques…but ended up going home with a brand-new – and, in my opinion, fairly terrifying – T-Rex to feed the obsession.
I had to do a bunch of work this weekend, but it was the kind of work I most certainly don't mind: putting together 12 different looks for a very fun shoot I have coming up in a few days. Those shoes!
Around this time of year I start panicking about the finite number of weekends left to do things like sit in the grass eating potato salad, and amp up the frequency with which I make my favorite summery dishes. This potato salad happened twice within a 24-hour period: once for Saturday's BBQ with Stephen and Dave, and a second time for dinner Sunday night at our friend Amy's place.
Cook about 4 cups quartered new potatoes until fork-tender, then toss in a bowl with 1/3 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar, 2 tbsp coarse ground mustard, 4-5 finely chopped scallions, 1 cubed avocado, and a sprinkling of sea salt.
And this was how the weekend came to a close: with the cutest little friends ever.

text: Deeply disappointed with her life in middle age but unsure of what actions she should take to remedy her malaise, a forty-something woman named Anna (Kathryn Worth) is forced to acknowledge her inner turmoil after arriving at the holiday home of a bourgeois family and becoming distracted by the youthful energy in the home. Anna was in Italy visiting her old friend Verena (Mary Roscoe) when the antics of the energetic teenagers in the house found her gravitating every further away from "the olds." It's bumptious adolescent Oakley (Tom Hiddleston) whose youthful vigor stirs something deep within the dejected woman, and before long Anna realizes that her attraction to the boy may result from her longing to claim something that has been missing from her own life. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Alternative Medicine Cabinet - The Barnyard Cure for Pain
By Lorie Parch
Of all the signs of advancing age, two of the least pleasant are more wrinkles and less supple joints. But bad knees and aging skin share something else as well: They both seem to respond to a most unlikely-sounding remedy, a substance found in rooster combs (and in some vegetables and in the human body) called hyaluronic acid (HA). "This substance is a lot like egg white, only not quite as thick," says Jason Theodosakis, physician and coauthor of The Arthritis Cure. "In joints, it works to ease movement and absorb impact." In faces, it gives skin volume and shape.
But not all varieties work equally well, and some of the claims made for HA are more credible than others. Hyaluronic acid comes in supplement, cream, and injectable form. Some people say that in addition to cushioning joints and filling in wrinkles, the pill form, in particular, can also help you live longer.
Alas, the evidence for this appealing idea is rather sketchy. In fact, according to Theodosakis, the idea burst onto the scene when a village in Japan was discovered where people lived to an unusually old age, and some speculated it might be due to the HA-rich vegetables they ate. But the theory was just that, and has never been proven.
Even where HA does hold solid promise—for knees and wrinkles—experts agree that you'll get more bang for your buck with the injectable varieties than with creams. Those inclined toward less invasive approaches may be disappointed by that caveat, but there's good reason to believe the shots may have some distinct advantages for arthritis and aging skin. Here's what they are.

Hyaluronic acid became big news several years ago when the FDA approved it for treating arthritis of the knee. Its claim to fame is that it seems to do something conventional arthritis treatments do not: It bolsters the joint's natural cushioning. Most other treatments—medicinal ones, at least—target the inflammation that occurs (and causes pain) when the bones of the joint rub against each other. Even cortisone shots work the same way.
"With osteoarthritis, the fluid in the knee that normally provides cushion and support thins out," says Dennis Wen, a physician and associate professor of family and community medicine at University of Missouri Columbia Medical School. "HA appears to add thickness to that fluid and therefore helps the knee move with less friction and pain."
Still, that doesn't mean all knee pain sufferers should get HA shots. Theodosakis says that people who do well with the arthritis supplements glucosamine and chondroitin don't seem to derive any further benefit from HA. So the best candidates are people who have pretty much exhausted traditional arthritis remedies, don't respond to supplements, and want to avoid surgery (though even some potential HA users may first need to have surgery to clean out any loose bits of cartilage or bone chips that may be causing trouble).
One missing piece of the puzzle is why th...

In Montclair: branches and debris and logs, oh my!
Trees provide shelter from the sun, homes for birds, and striking scenery. After Hurricane Sandy hit, fallen trees also created a big headache.
Cleanup of the tree debris is still going on. Many township trees succumbed to winds that reached speeds of nearly 90 miles per hour. Sandy left many Montclairites wondering: what will happen to the tree canopy?
The number of downed trees is high. Township Manager Marc Dashield issued a memorandum last week stating that there have been 42 reports of trees falling onto homes, and a total of 214 trees and large limbs that came down on private property or roadways.
During a recent meeting of the Montclair Environmental Commission, municipal Community Services Director Steve Wood estimated that Montclair has lost up to 180 township trees during the storm.
Some of the trees that were felled were healthy, Wood said. "There were evergreens uprooted. Other trees just shattered." The wind uprooted the trees out of the soil, Wood remarked.
The damage, municipal Arborist Stephen Schuckman told The Montclair Times, was unusual, because Sandy was an unusual storm. Large trees have narrow roots that hold them up, Schuckman explained, and the high winds snapped some of those roots like rubber bands.
"I come from the Midwest, and grew up where there were tornadoes. I know big storms," he affirmed. "Technically this storm was declassified as a hurricane, but there were sustained winds for many hours. At this time of year, the trees are going dormant, and they are still full of water, so they weigh an awful lot. When there is a strong wind pushing on them for hours and hours at a time, some will uproot. That's nature."
Dashield's memorandum notes that overtime costs to handle the damage created by Sandy have totaled $395,353 so far. The township has also spent $32,203 to pay outside contractors for debris removal and "sheltering supplies."
The cleanup, Wood told the commission, is happening in stages. First, the township is collecting brush and debris from private homes, then tree parts that are up to 10 inches in diameter. Stumps on private homes, Wood noted, are the homeowner's responsibility. From public property, the crews are also picking up the brush first, continuing with logs or downed trees, and then stumps. After that, the township will begin cleaning the parks, Wood said.
One difference in this year's cleanup from earlier storms, observed Wood, is that the township is stockpiling debris, including wood chips, in staging areas around town. The disposal of the waste will be at Montclair's expense.
The township expects to receive reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Wood said, to reimburse the township for the cleanup.
"For now the town has to spend its own money," said Schuckman, noting that some of the logs have been as heavy as five tons.
Montclair's new shade tree ordinance, which requires residents either to replant a tree if they remove a sizable shade tree on their property, or to pay into a shade tree replanting fund, was to have gone into effect on Nov. 1, but Sandy pushed it back until Jan. 1. The delay, said Wood, will give people "a chance to get through the chaos." The ordinance does not require residents to replant healthy trees that came down in the storm. Township residents will be able to consult a list of suggested trees to replant provided by Schuckman.
Montclair's annual replanting budget is usually $150,000, Wood said.
The storm pushed back the planting of trees that would have occurred during this autumn, noted Schuckman. Instead, he said, there will be a double planting in the spring of up to 300 trees.
Small ornamental trees will be planted under the power lines and in business districts, while large shade trees will be planted where power lines and space permit, according to the arborist.
Although some residents have expressed fear of trees falling near their homes, Schuckman said that the town "does not remove healthy trees.
"Storms are beyond our control. If we reacted that way because a tree might fall in the future, we would have no trees."
