Free Agents: Alexander Semin, Washington Capitals
Jonathan Willis
April 30 2012 08:18AM
Despite a sixth consecutive season with more than 20 goals, 2011-12 was not a good year for talented Washington Capitals' winger Alexander Semin. His 21-goals was a post-lockout low, his 54 points fell below expectations, and he was dogged by frequent criticism that he wasn't giving it his all when he played.

Why An Amnesty Clause Makes Sense
Jonathan Willis
April 28 2012 08:26AM
Shawn Horcoff. Keith Ballard. Matt Stajan. Mike Komisarek. The list is a lot longer than that, but it sometimes feels like every team in the league has a player or two whose contracts they'd love to make disappear.
That's why some sort of amnesty buyout could be an appealing option when the NHL and NHLPA eventually get together and work out the next collective bargaining agreement.
Team Canada Takes Shape – And Looks Pretty Good, Too

With the additions of Duncan Keith and Patrick Sharp, this year's Canadian entry at the World Championships is shaping up to be one of the strongest we've seen recently. Given how Canada has fared the last few years at the Worlds, that's a very good thing.

Instead of...

Now is the time for all good men and women to come to the aid of their countries.

Which is correct? :)

...
 encloses a paragraph. This may, or may not, mean that there is whitespace between it and the next paragraph. It may, or may not, have whitespace equal to one line-height. It may also define an indent for the first line, or other CSS features.

 or
 is an inline element which starts a new line. Duplicating the token means that you have a blank line, and then a new line.
Where the author wishes to leave a blank line without starting a new paragraph, it is entirely appropriate to use

. In reported speech and narrative it is not uncommon to wish to leave a blank line without starting a new paragraph, and is often done for dramatic effect.
Tell that to your English teacher ;)
There are many people who make space in Word or InDesign by hittig the Enter key a number of times - instead of using Paragraph-Space after.
It's amazing how many do this. Even those who are proficient with these programs still do it. I work with Quark on a daily basis and am very familiar with the Space After and Space Before functions which are equivalent to...
p{margin:15px 0;}
And then you have your Formatting commands to specify indenting, etc. which are equivalent to...
p{margin:15px 30px;}
No. You are confusing Hypertext Markup Language with Hypertext Visual Display Formatting.
The second example
...
 says:
the content between the tags is a paragraph.
It does not say anything about what the text looks like, how wide or how tall it is, or how much space there is or isn't above or below.
It specifies the role of an element without attempting to dictate visual format. This is what mark-up languages do.

The forum continued to grow as more people registered.

The total number of users now stands at over 2 million.

You might argue that the two lines should be separate paragraphs. But they are also related.
My thoughts though are that any markup shouldn't force changes in our writing styles for "correctness." So, if you see those two sentences as contextually and semantically part of the same paragraph, well, then it's correct.
I might argue that they should actually be one paragraph with no forced line breaks.

The forum continued to grow as more people registered. The total number of users now stands at over 2 million.

But it does dictate visual format doesn't it? Most browsers have preset definitions, in absence of a stylesheet, which dictate how it will look, visually.
So in using the
 tag, are you not also automatically dictating visual layout whether you like it or not?
I'm going to add some fuel to the fire and say that

 is typically used incorrectly 99% of the time. Most use it as a visual presentation thing to mimic the spacing between paragraphs.
To a screen reader, this...

Now is the time for all good men and women to come to the aid of their country.

Now is the time for all good webmasters to come to their senses and start coding using proper html elements. ;)

Now is the time for all good...
Reads as one paragraph.

 elements provide no useful information about what is contained between them, semantically.
Also, for those of you using

 instead of the correct html elements, you're probably going to find it very difficult to validate your pages to an HTML 4.01 Strict DTD. Don't even think about XHTML 1.0, lol! You're going to have these all over the place...

In that case I can't see much wrong with it, even if not 100% correct, as markup is supposed to reflect the writer's style, not the other way around.
Now, what confuses me a bit is that I had always assumed (very bad word) that a
 element should always be used within a paragraph or other text element, such as an Hx. But, unless I'm reading them totally wrong, I don't find any specific mention of this in the W3C specs.
What I did find...

some text

 some more text

...validates as html 4.01 strict.
And of course, a
 not within another text element does not validate, which is what I always thought.
Whatever my confusion, it turns out that Hester's example is okay.
Yes, TJ, that's right. Browsers have preset style definitions. So, if you don't provide a stylesheet, the browser will provide its own default stylesheet.
But either way, it's not the markup which is determining how the document will visually display.
What determines the display is either the styles you specify or - in their absence - the styles specified by default by the browser.
I'm not too certain that using a couple of
s within a paragraph like that is proper use. If the goal is to provide a visual presentation where there is additional space between lines, then line height would probably be the best option.
Don't get me wrong, there are logical uses for the
 element. Forcing a line break is common practice when designing web pages. Using them to create a visual space between elements is not correct use from my perspective and understanding of the HTML guidelines.
The
 Element Official References
Please note, that the above example assumes that your

 are
 elements, this is the default behavior. It does not know that you are using a

 within another block level element. It assume a
 element. What happens when you have a list of links that you've set up like this?

Example 1
Example 2
Example 3
Example 4
Example 5

When they should probably be like this...

Example 1
Example 2
Example 3
Example 4
Example 5

Which do you think is more semantically correct?
What happens when you start a page off with let's say a opening
 tag. Then you build your way through that page using multiple

 elements to separate content visually. At the end of all that work, you close it off with the
 tag. Just great. 1,000 characters of prime content all wrapped up in one big paragraph. With today's spiders being more intelligent and looking at semantic document structure, what does

 mean to them? I could almost use the analogy of throwing something against the wall and seeing what sticks, but I don't want to start a war amongst the

 supporters. I'll get beaten down because it is typically the geeks that do this

 stuff anyway. :)
P.S. This whole thing with using the proper HTML Elements for markup goes way back. Even before my start on the Internet and I don't want to date myself here. ;)
P.S.S. I cannot be held liable for any coding practices that WebmasterWorld and its affiliates may or may not use. My comments are those of my own. But, I've provided some solid official reference material for you to make an educated decision. Break Away from the

! ;)
Yes, I know - I'm nit-picking a practical rather than technical point here. Actually I thought your original description of "role" versus visuals was excellent and technically very correct.
I'm just thinking from a practical point of view, if you use a
 tag, and you don't style it, you will introduce default styling.
So in reality, it will have a visual effect that you must either live with, or override.
The
 tag, on the other hand, has no such effect.
9.3.5 Visual rendering of paragraphs [w3.org]
By convention, visual HTML user agents wrap text lines to fit within the available margins. Wrapping algorithms depend on the script being formatted.
Right from the authority. I don't think there is any room for misinterpretation. The W3C discourages the practice of using

 for distinguishing successive paragraphs.
I know, I know. Many of you are thinking, ****, I've got thousands of pages out there that use

. Great! You've got thousands of single paragraph pages sitting out there. Wouldn't you rather have thousands of pages with multiple paragraphs, list items, heading elements, etc. Something a little more meaningful while at the same time visual?
If you make the change now, and it may take some time, at least applying a basic semantic structure to your pages will help them perform much better overall. I can almost guarantee it.
It's because for a developer not versed in CSS, by default a paragraph gives an unwanted space ABOVE as well as below. So they use line breaks to just get the space below.
After a time, they may become aware of the issue but from a designer standpoint it's only about presentation, semantics never enters into it, so it becomes just another one of those bad habits, right along with the font tag.
</confessions of a reforming developer>
You have a very valid point. And, I'll add one more to that. Ever watch someone work in WYSIWYG mode who doesn't understand what the program is doing? Yikes, there are
s all over the place. ;)
We all (or most of us) know what a paragarph is. But what about this

 Mary had a little lamb
 Its fleece was white as snow
 And everywhere that Mary went
 Her lamb was sure to go.

Point being, what is the sematically correct way to mark up poetry or lyrics? There is no <verse>, <stanza> or <line> tag,
 and
 tags don't capture them semantically, although they could be styled to "appear" correctly.
I think the
 tag is the logical choice in these cases.
An excellent question.
Right now, I would be tempted to use
...
 and then, as you say, use
 to differentiate the lines.
All this
 discussion will be moot once <l>...</l> is widely adopted.
ronin, miracles have been known to happen. Heck, let's just get them to stop using the

 for now. Small baby steps are needed. :)
Ronin is referring to the XHTML 2 spec. I was going to mention this, as it makes individual lines separate elements. Why? Because they can then be styled individually. Say you wanted the first line of every paragraph bold, then it could be done. Or the second line blue, the third line red and the fourth line green.
A nice colour fade would look great, from red to slightly darker red, with each line darkening a bit. To do that in HTML 4 would require spans and breaks I guess. Or even divs.
In that case, why not use span tags and avoid the endemic break paragraph tags force? Maybe I don't want a break there. In fact, I prefer to use

. Using paragraph tags are more problematic in editing text.
While playing with a little (third party) menu script that used HTML and CSS, and some javascript to float it, I had it all working as published in Mozilla, but in IE the first item always floated right. I was puzzled.
I looked at the HTML source, and though untidy I couldn't see anything obvious. As I looked closer I realisd that some things were wrapped in
 ..
 tags, or in
 ..
 tags, but that some stuff was uncontained (its logical "parent" being the  tag... yuk).
My inclination was to slap a paragraph tag pair around the entire nav list links. That fixed the problem in IE, without causing any issues in Mozilla or Opera.
So, when you mark up your content, make sure that every piece is enclosed in its own block. The main blocks are headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, and forms.

The Grande Cuvée rouge, an unusual blend of 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Malbec, and 10% Syrah, admirable balance and richness. Raspberry, dark chocolate, and hints of damson plum make this a lovely red to enjoy on its own, or as the perfect accompaniment to roast duck or grilled salmon. Since the 2009 vintage the wine is vinfied with 100% organically grown grapes. 14% abv.

The Orlando Sentinel: After a delivery driver from a Papa John's franchise in Leesburg, Fla., was slain on the job three years ago, his widow sued his employer for sending him into a dangerous neighborhood.
Now, it's unclear who his employer was.
Even though driver John Horan wore a Papa John's uniform, lawyers for his widow determined he did not work for Louisville, Ky.-based Papa John's International and dropped the company from the lawsuit.
In an affidavit, store manager Anthony Ritter said Jordan Nicholas Elliott Inc. was in charge of the day-to-day operations and had its name on the door as owner of the franchise. But he said Brandon Pizza Group appeared on its paychecks.
Both companies remain as defendants in the lawsuit, but each said Horan was not one of its employees.
"Let's face it: He was somebody's employee," said lawyer Jerry Lockett, who is representing Horan's widow, Theresa. "They're both saying, 'He's not one of mine,' " he said.

I am trying to run the supercharger script on 3.2 and for some reason home keeps reverting back to being locked in memory. I used root explorer and put a "#" infront of the usual line but just keeps going back. Any ideas? Sent from my DROID using DroidForums
I just ran it too and have noticed that the driver console says that my launcher locked in memory. Same issue that happened in SS. Any ideas how to fix it? I need my die-hard launcher! Sent from my DROID using Tapatalk
No idea how to fix it. Hopefully someone can help with this. I remember when people had the issue with SS and all it came down to was changing something in the build prop but I tried looking through files on this rom to see if I can find some where else it was hiding but came up with nothing. Sent from my DROID using DroidForums
I checked etc/init.d folder and opened the 90liquid file and at the bottom has ro.HOME_APP_ADJ = 1 Maybe that could be causing the issue? Sent from my DROID using Tapatalk
after you change it to a 0.... are you going into liquid settings and unchecking it from there? if that's not working... .after you change it... reboot... to see if that helps it stick
I noticed there was the same line in the local.prop folder also. I have unchecked the setting in liquid settings, I tried changing both of the lines in the etc/init.d 90 liquid and the local.prop, saved, exited and rebooted several times. I looked in root explorer and sure enough every time it has the 1 back. I have never had an issue running it before and I have been using it for awhile. This is my first time running liquid so I don't know where all those lines are hidden. Sent from my DROID using DroidForums
For me, changing the 90liquid file seems to stick but home is still locked in memory. Havent tried local.prop yet Sent from my DROID using Tapatalk
Finally got it to stick in the 90liquid. I also changed the local.prop and now it's telling me that home isn't locked in memory. Hopefully that will work for you also. Sent from my DROID using DroidForums
It seemed that my local prop was already at 0 and i changed 90liquid to 0 and then my launcher became bulletproof. I re-applied option 3 and now i have die-hard. Im happy now glad we found the solution Sent from my DROID using Tapatalk
don't change it to anything , just comment out the line (put a "#" at the beginning of it, w/o the quotation marks) and let V6 set its own values.
Just curious here....was there any issues that prompted you to use the Supercharger script on the ROM? Hows it working out so far? using it on the D1 I assume?
I haven't had any issues what so ever but I like to run the script to make things a little snappier and to try to avoid some of those little memory issues. So far it's running great with the script, no issues. Yes I am using the script/rom on a D1. Sent from my DROID using DroidForums

Walter ROSS (b. 1936) Through The Reeds Oboe d'amore Concerto (1998) [15:44] Bassoon Concerto (1983) [17:10] Concerto for Flute and Guitar (1987) [20:17] Oboe Concerto(1984) [16:57] Michal Sintal (oboe d'amore), Roman Mesina (bassoon), M. Turner (flute), Radka Kubrova (guitar), Igor Fabera (oboe), Adriana Antalova (harp) Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra/Kirk Trevor rec. May 2002, Slovak Radio Studios, Bratislava. DDD The Capstone Collection Series RAVELLO RECORDS RR7854 [69:00] Walter Ross was raised in Nebraska and was active as an orchestral French horn player. At present he plays bass in the Blue Ridge Chamber Orchestra in Charlottesville VA. He was taught composition by Robert Beadell and later studied at Cornell with Robert Palmer - we need to hear his Piano Quintet. Karel Husa was also his teacher as was Ginastera. He has had two residencies at the MacDowell Colony. Ross founded the Charlottesville University and Community Orchestra and was its conductor for two years. His choral works include Lux Aeterna to honour the victims of 9/11. This has been performed at Ground Zero. He has a real predilection for concertos of which his roster includes ones for clarinet, trombone, tuba, double bass and violin. The present concerto collection serves to assure us that if he can be placed in any school he is a tonal, life-enhancing and dynamic lyricist. Add to this an evidently fine ear for timbres, instrumental meld and rhythmic strata. The Concerto for Flute and Guitar is a carefree piece, able to draw on the sort of stirring pulse you find in a Walton march or a Copland hoe-down. He sets time aside for pastoral musing in the work's Adagio con elegiaca. The Oboe d'Amore Concerto was written for Jennifer Paul, whose Amoris imprint helps revive the fortunes of this rather marginalised instrument. The music is in a smooth, leafy-tonal idiom. It might almost be a marriage of RVW 's Oboe Concerto and The Lark Ascending. There is an especially poignant Andante amabile and a toe-tapping and entwining Adagio animato. The Bassoon Concerto again displays his gift for fast-paced attractive writing both for orchestra and soloist. In the Adagio pastorale he does what it says on the can and treads that the line between evolutionary languor and forward motion. The racing finale again reminds us that Ross might perhaps also have been influenced by that master of the compact concerto, Malcolm Arnold. We start with a poetic yet lively Double concerto and we also end with one. This one is for oboe, harp and strings. It kicks the trend by starting with a warmly hazy Lento carezzando which again suggests Anglophile sympathies. The fast pattering mercury-winged Festivo again had me thinking of Arnold. We end with an Adagio patetica e Impetuoso. The first element of the finale provides an enchanting symmetry with the first movement. Those dreamy horizons and heat-hazed fields at times give way to the devil-may-care quick-time serenading of the two solo instruments. The insert booklet is pretty good but what a shame about the lack of dates for these works, though this information can be found on this website. Ross's music is well worth seeking out especially if you have a taste for new intelligent melodic-dynamic music. Rob Barnett

Get Hyped!http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/b2w2/ Official site and high quality trailerhttp://filb.de/1772 April 16th Pokemon Smash videos featuring ingame footageI don't know about you, but I'm getting pretty excited. It's almost like we're getting Generation 5.5 (well more realistically speaking, Generation 5.2).New Rival is swagtastic, even his battle music is cool (though you can't hear it too well). Also, you can NAME him! You start in an actual city rather than a tiny town with 4 houses. And all trainers are actually animated!Some things you might not notice at first: Not only are there revamped battle backgrounds, but the circular platforms are actually animated. Looks like Pokemon have new animations. Emboar stomps its foot, Oshawott tosses its scalchop. They never did this in B/W The battle music has been remixed. It does sound a bit better! One of the screenshots shows a group of people all dressed the same. Is this the new "evil t
How can a cartoonist keep motivated and inspired?A friend asked me: "How do you motivate yourself to keep drawing? Lately I have been lacking that. One of the reasons is that I feel afraid of making mistakes in my drawings not to mention that I sometimes feel inferior when I compare my drawings to other artists (particularly those who make illustrations and cartoons)"One thing that keeps me drawing is having to. If I don't have an FRS done every week, the readers get ornery, and so I have something I need to get done every week, whether I like what I've made or not.But sometimes I feel uninspired or just plain don't like what I'm turning out. This happened just a week ago. There's a few things I like to do in this instance. -Sometimes I just find some drawings I really like and try to quickly draw their construction. No details, just the construction. This is an especially good technique if there are particular artists you want more influence from:
FAQsAre your commissions open?My commissions are pretty much always full. I take 40 slots every 4 months or so, but my slots fill up within seconds after I post that I'm taking new ordersHow do I know when you'll be taking order?I always post a journal update about a week before I open with the date, time and a countdown to when I'll be taking new orders. Just keep an eye out for that!I messaged you exactly when your commissions opened why didn't I get a slot?That would be because I get a high volume of notes at that very second, and although I'd love to take all the commission requests I'm only one person and I can only take 40 orders at once to avoid overworking myself.Do you take point commissions?Sadly points cannot pay my fabric, so therefore I can't accept point commissions.How do you make patterns?I learned how to make patterns by studying patterns that were available for free online and by starting small and simple then working my way up
PE: Preview Images ReduxEdit: Disclaimer: I do not animate; any questions about animations and previews will be answered with a best guess The last time I ran a projecteducate week, I tackled preview images. So this is an up to date, better informed version of the old 2010 article. Like the last one, I will cover when you need a preview and the dos and don'ts. New to this issue will be myths surrounding preview images and why preview images are needed.When are you required to use a preview image?Here on dA, whenever you upload a .gif image larger than 150x150 pixels,you will be prompted to add a preview image that is 150x150 pixels orsmaller.Why do you need a preview image for .gif files?"GIF is a complex format which may contain animations and does not automatically resize well. We require the previews so that you get the chance to best represent your artwork." - ZombieCoder Basically, a .gif is a .gif, so even if it is not ani
Imagination, Inspiration, and CurationAs deviants, we are serious about our craft, hobbyist or professional. We study hard to become better at what we do. There are many great tutorials here and elsewhere on these kinds of craft based skills and techniques. However, sometimes all that serious study and hard work gets in the way of our imagination. Therefore, it is important to remember to establish a wonder filled mindset, actively seek out inspiration, and curate a library of inspiring content to reference in the future. This article explores some ways to do these three things, and I encourage you to comment and share even more tips on this for other deviants!Inviting the Mind of a Child"The point is to develop the childlike inclination for play."-Albert EinsteinThe biggest part of imagination is playing the part of Peter Pan. You might be 99 or you might be 12, but it is often important to imagination to be in the head space of a 5-7 year old. I
A Pocket Artist's Guide on How To Draw A common struggle an artist stumbles upon on his way to a triumphant drawing style is when he is just beginning to draw. That is something I, a 14-year old writer learned after a year of practicing illustration, a field that is quite new for someone who uses a pen to write prose, poems, and stories, and not to draw. Probably like some of you here, I started drawing after seeing characters on the television and tried to imitate them. At first, I found any drawing I made so wonderful, brilliant, great, etcetera, etcetera… [Oh well..] until a passerby badmouthed my works. At first it was hard to believe that my highly treasured works were actually that bad. But when I looked again on my drawings, I realized that there is a lot more I can do to make things better than they were. Yet my interpretation of getting better was quite different. I bought lots of books on anatomy, perspectiv
Crafting your Story: From Ideas to ExecutionCrafting your Story: From Ideas to Execution – An Interview with Felipe CagnoFelipeCagno is a screenwriter and filmmaker from Brazil, who is also crafting his own comic project, The Lost Kids, with his amazing team. It's really a pleasure and such an honor to have him for this interview and to share all his experiences with regards to his success in crafting his own stories and executing them into a feasible comic book project. With this interview, I am hoping that you will be able to get some ideas on how to turn your ideas into a reality while keeping things the most important things in mind.Hello Felipe! First of all, thank you so much for giving us some of your time here on deviantART for this special interview for Project EducateFelipeCagno: It's absolutely my pleasure, thank you for thinking of me, I'm flattered.Regarding the Lost Kids comic book mini series,
Anime: home of the arsehole.I can list a whole range of eastern-born cartoons that I think look absolutely gorgeous, and whose visual style I wish very much that I could emulate.Only a handful of those, however, can I refer to as being "good". Or even "tolerable".Having watched them for most of my life, going back to things like Mysterious Cities of Gold and the original Astro Boy, I can say with a certain degree of authority that: Japanese storytelling is a bit wank. Daring and dynamic visuals, sure. Crap narrative.And it can't ALL be blamed on "bad translation".There's a wide range of gripes to be had, but chief among them these days is that the major characters, those who one would assume you're to root for, across however many episodes the series consists of, are generally complete and utter dicks.Example:I'm currently wading through Gurren Lagann, a series which people have raved about for a while but which I'd not had the chance to watch until now (spoiler approaching, should you be in the same boat).
The DreamThis was a Facebook status I made last night, but by request, I'm posting it here:I hate when people call me "lucky" for the successes I've had. I worked hard for them. Real hard. Possibly too hard. For that same reason, when people who give up on their dreams complain to me about their lot in life, I'm not gentle with them. I can't be. I know life can get really tough, but to give up in the face of adversity shows a real weakness of character. To watch people give up saddens me, and kind of angers me as well.
Rogues Mission 4Rogues,While it is true that our last mission was met with failure, I, as your leader, must accept responsibility for your actions in order to be able to move forward with our next mission. Perhaps I was not motivational enough in my last letter to all of you. I will not be making the same mistake this time around. It is difficult for some to fully comprehend the gravity and importance of a mission when it deals with an idea of a future that they do not truly share with you. I am not writing this letter to you today to attempt to share these ideals with you, for by now if you do not know them, you will never know them. In place of sharing with you my ideals and visions of the future we could have put in place had you not failed me last mission, I will use a much more effective means of motivation: Fear. It was once said the oldest emotion is fear, and the strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown. If you partake in this mission with me and fail, you will most lik
Team Chamomile - M5 FINALEMission 5, Part XIIISpinda Café Ruins, very early morning.The bleak scene of the café could burn the morale of any exploration team: Pokémon of all types and sizes were scattered about among the broken tables and chairs, the broken cups and glasses. Some cried, while some stayed silent; the criers, Fleur and Twiggy could both tell, were running out of energy. Their calls for help were weak and broken, and it was barely audible even from the entrance to the once bright café. The thin air made any Pokémon who stepped too deep in the café short of breathSyrena, the Mudkip guiding Team Chamomile, knew there wasn't much time left for these Pokémon. Others ached and groaned at the wounds they'd received from the collapse, and others shivered in a curled up position, careful not to get hurt on the glass shards everywhere. Only one Pokémon seemed to be somewhat instilled with energy: a Woobat fluttered around the hurt Pokémon aimlessly, tryi
reverie 3If there was one thing that Cresselia wasn't expecting, it was the appearance of her counterpart. No matter how much she may have wanted him to show up at that moment, she was still completely caught off-guard when she looked up to find him hovering a few feet away from her, a puzzled expression on his face."D-Darkrai..." She hoped that her tears weren't too audible in her voice as she shook her head and picked herself up, slowly resuming her hover. "What are you doing here...?"Darkrai reached up to rub at the back of his neck. "I could ask you the same thing; you shouldn't be out here in this storm."She blinked at him in response. He wasn't concerned about her, was he? Promptly putting that thought out of her head - he was probably just pointing out her lack of common sense - Cresselia fidgeted uncomfortably for a moment before answering him. "Uhm... well..." She didn't get much else out, however; a sudden clap of thunder tore through the sky and she yelped, curling h
Magolor's StoryKirby walked along the path, his face in a bright, happy smile. He wandered around, and picked up a giant metamato laying on the ground. Gobbling it up in one bite gave him a smile, as he felt a new source of energy flowing through him.He closed his eyes and rubbed his tummy in delight, letting out a squeal of hapiness as he skipped along. Quickly he noticed a blade rushing towards him, and reacted quickly by sliding out of the way. "Poyo?!"His eyes met with Sir Kibble, one of many master cutter abilities. He smirked for a second and opened his mouth, wide. A low shreik came from Sir Kibble when he noticed leaves and rocks begn to swirl into Kirby's gaping mouth. Sir Kibble's eyes grew wide with fear as he gripped for a ledge for his life.The pull of the air was too strong, though, and he stood no chance. His fingers lost thier grip as he was sucked straight into kirby's mouth. Now there was no chance of escape, as kirby swallowed and gained every last drop of Sir Kibbles pow
Art and happinessDear, deviantart fellow artists Sometimes we feel happy about our art, but sometimes things don't go the way we wanted. It's so easy to just give up and get in the procrastination mode. But we shouldn't let those distractions, those art blocks and lack of motivation to stand in our way. We should be stronger and carry on.We can't control everything, yet we really want to. There is struggle in life, problems that come in our way. We have no idea what may happen tomorrow, yet we decide so very often that in the next day everything will change - we will be more happy, excited to life our life to the fullest and be as productive as possible. And when non of that doesn't happen the way we wanted, we tend to get so depressive and blame ourselves, yet thinking that the next day will be different. Well, It won't be, if we don't do something about it. Now. Today is the perfect time. The main thing is that we get

Fashion Friday: Our guide to organizing your closet could change your life this spring and forever
CINCINNATI - There must be hundreds of articles about how to de-clutter your closet. There are even books dedicated to the subject. While these reading materials are insightful, WCPO contributor Megan Fenno found her own method for keeping a tiny closet uncluttered and easy to maintain.
Cleaning out your closet is really a matter of asking yourself a series of questions about the clothes you currently own. Megan started by taking everything she owns out of the closet. Everything.
Become a WCPO Insider to see photos of Megan's methods in action, read about her "four laundry bin" approach, and learn how even a tiny closet can be a great closet.

Irish support for Lisbon Treaty at 55 percent - poll

DUBLIN (Reuters) - Irish supporters of the European Union's reform treaty outnumber opponents by more than two to one, according to an opinion poll to be published Sunday, days before a second referendum on the issue.
The Red C/Sunday Business Post poll showed 55 percent of voters backed the Lisbon Treaty, a fall of seven points from the last poll two weeks ago but some distance ahead of the 'No' side, which increased by four points to 27 percent.
The proportion of undecided voters in the October 2 plebiscite rose by three points to 18 percent, but this was a significantly lower level than before the previous ballot last year which rejected the treaty, forcing the EU to shelve plans to reform its decision-making process.
The poll was conducted among more than 1,000 voters on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week.

From Curriculum to Communication, a School Immerses Itself in Tech
Editor's Note: Although most of the teachers interviewed for this article have moved on since it was published in 2002, the school continues to infuse technology throughout its curriculum.
When Chapel Hill, North Carolina, teacher Kathleen Eveleigh goes over the day's activities with her students, she does so with the gratifying knowledge that she is fulfilling a host of educational goals.
As she asks for examples of the day's highlights from her Mary Scroggs Elementary School kindergartners or first graders (all Mary Scroggs teachers loop, which means they teach the same group of students for two years in a row), she types their answers into a computer. Then the children follow along as she reads their dictation aloud. The students are honing both reading and writing skills in line with an approach called balanced literacy.
"Who has something to tell me about what we've done today? Ram. Some people went to the reading center to read books. Very good. James. There were two things in the mystery sock. One was a bug. We had a fantastic super day! Wow! That sounds so good."
Paper, Pencil, and User ID
The students also are getting a feel for the importance technology plays at the 567-student school, which is 71 percent white. When students start at Mary Scroggs, their school supplies include a user ID and a password for the school's computer network.
A Mary Scroggs student monitors the audio portion of the school's daily news show, Ribbit News.
The school received a major grant from BellSouth because of a commitment to integrate technology into the curriculum and a determination to close the digital divide. The grant also was contingent on using a "Power to Learn" approach to instruction, which uses brain research in determining different learning plans for students.
The Internet, a daily closed-circuit school television news show called Ribbit News (Mary Scroggs's mascot is a frog), wireless laptops, computers in every classroom, and software programs ranging from Inspiration to Software MacKiev's HyperStudio to Logic Blocks are an integral part of the learning package at the school, which enrolls students in grades preK-5.
Email gets heavy use, and has improved communication among teachers, administrators, parents, and students. Principal Paula McCarthy, who sends out a daily morning message via email to the teachers, notes that with just one click on the keyboard, she also can send messages to more than 90 percent of Mary Scroggs families.
To make sure no one lacks access to Mary Scroggs's technological advantages, families without the means to buy their own computers are loaned Internet-access devices for their homes. These gadgets, financed through the BellSouth, are not full computers (no data or applications can be stored), but they give students and their families access to a range of Internet sites, email, computer software, and the student's school folder.
Keeping Parents Informed
The Web summary of the day's events in Kathleen Eveleigh's class also promotes parental involvement, which in turn has been shown to lead to improved student achievement. Once Eveleigh and the class have read what the students dictated, it is put on the class webpage.
Peer helping, cooperative learning, and technology are essential elements of instruction at Mary Scroggs.
By the time many parents come to pick up their children, they already know the specifics of the day. Moms or dads or grandmas or babysitters can start conversations about the pictures their youngsters drew of Martin Luther King Jr. They can talk about the glories of bird-watching because they know that their student spied blue jays and mourning doves through homemade toilet-paper-roll binoculars that day. Or they can ask questions pertinent to a class visit by a naturalist.
No longer do the adults have to play a guessing game about what was learned at school. Some parents have their students read the summary for them when they get home.
Every one of Mary Scroggs's 29 teachers has a webpage that may include a daily or weekly newsletter, homework assignments, announcements, volunteer opportunities, student work, a list of recommended Web sites, and even pictures of a teacher's dog or Questions of the Week, like this one from the webpage of second-grade teacher James Nohe:
If you could have one grown-up job, what would it be?
- United States President
- Voice for a Cartoon Character
- Professional Sports Star
- Teacher
- Actor/Actress
- Soldier
- Firefighter/Police Officer
- Something Else
Students may vote and then see immediate results. (As of this writing, "Professional Sports Star" and "Something Else" were tied, each with 37.5 percent.)
Heavy Use of Email
The Mary Scroggs teacher webpages make it clear that this is not a school where parents will be made to feel sheepish or self-conscious about asking questions or wanting to be involved. Principal Paula McCarthy and the teachers and other staff make a special effort to let parents know that their input is not just welcome, it is crucial.
Parent Dorothy Setliff joins her son Sam in reading homework assignments teacher Julie Crawford Janes posts on the class webpage.
"Hello! Thank you for visiting our class Web site!" is the start of many teachers' webpages. They continue, "It is very important for teachers and parents to keep the lines of communication open. I look forward to getting to know all of you better! The best ways to reach me are via email or my school phone line. I will try my best to get back to you within 48 hours."
"I feel like I have a better connection with my students and my parents," says kindergarten and first-grade teacher Julie Crawford Janes. Besides using email for informal communication, Janes assigns email homework. "I can reply very easily to what they've written back to me. It's less paperwork. I don't have a stack of papers to go through that sometimes don't make it back home. It's just much easier to give them immediate feedback through the email."
The feeling is mutual: Parent Dorothy Setliff also praises the immediate feedback and the ease of getting answers without having to play phone tag.
"I'm very Internet connected," Setliff says. "I would much rather use email." She uses it for everything from telling the teacher who her son will be walking home from school with to asking homework questions.
Treating Teachers as Professionals
Janes says the last three years at Mary Scroggs out of a 12-year teaching career have been the best. A technology-rich environment is not the only reason. Teachers are shown they are valued in a variety of ways -- from verbal support, a say in such decisions as hiring, and the opportunity for collaboration with other teachers to having offices next to their classrooms with desks, phones, computers, and storage space.
Offices situated between two classrooms give teachers private space to work.
"We wanted them to see what an emphasis we put on teaching and teachers -- treating them as professionals, raising morale, providing them with the tools and the resources so that they can be the best they can," says Paula McCarthy. "I think typically, over the years teachers, have gotten by on a shoestring. They're told they're professionals but sometimes not always treated as professionals.
For teachers, it's a big deal to have a phone that they can use throughout the day either to communicate with parents or to be available to their own families," she adds.
The school also provides time for teachers in the same grades to plan together, pays leader teachers and curriculum specialists more, and pairs inexperienced and experienced teachers in the same office so that younger teachers have mentors at hand.
Collaboration, Not Competition
Before she came to Mary Scroggs, says Kathleen Eveleigh, she was frustrated because she would hear about other teachers collaborating, sharing, and talking about what they were doing in their classrooms, "and it wasn't happening in my career. I felt like there was more of a competitive atmosphere, where teacher was trying to outdo teacher."
Grade-level teachers meet every other Wednesday to plan and share ideas and resources.
When the school was built (it opened in 1999 as the fifth new school in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools in five years), the idea was to start from scratch. "When we designed the school, not only did we design a new facility, but we really designed a new program," says Superintendent Neil Pedersen, a 2001 national finalist for Superintendent of the Year.
"What we found previously when we opened new schools was teachers were not necessarily stretching and changing the status quo as we had hoped," he adds. "We really explored the current issues in education and developed a model for Mary Scroggs that is somewhat different from the model in our other elementary schools."
Technology was one of the differences. So, too, were looping, an average class size of 19 in exchange for fewer teacher assistants, block scheduling, and differentiated instruction, in which learning experiences are tailored to individual students' needs, strengths, and weaknesses.
Design Supports Academics
The school architecture was designed to reflect such innovation and respect for teachers as professionals. An office for two teachers situated between pairs of classrooms was one manifestation of the new mind-set.
Innovative architecture allows teacher Kathleen Eveleigh to guide her students in bird-watching from a porch connected to her classroom.
Others included the openness of the building and its natural light, project rooms and kitchens, wide corridors and stairwell nooks where couches or chairs or tables could be placed for reading or conferring, outdoor porches that were extensions of classrooms, and a two-story lobby that connects the two wings of the school and also is sometimes used for community functions. Rows of desks also have been replaced by tables for working together cooperatively or individually on projects.
In Phillip Thomas's fifth-grade class, for example, some students are working with volunteers on reading or math basics. Others are gathering information for a WebQuest project, in which the students are planning a stay and tour of Chapel Hill for people from around the country with different needs. One girl is using the phone in Thomas's office to call local restaurants in order to price meals.
The integrated learning plan that covers curriculum, learning spaces, and teacher support and training apparently works. Test scores have shown a steady increase over the years since the school opened. Mary Scroggs was designated one of the state's most improved schools in 2000 and in 2002 was named a North Carolina School of Excellence because more than 90 percent of the students passed end-of-grade tests with high marks.
A Team Effort
"We have great kids, terrific parents who are supportive, who volunteer and who fundraise for us," says Paula McCarthy, whose office is filled with frog replicas given to her by students and others. McCarthy even kissed a frog when the Mary Scroggs students met their book-reading goals.
Wireless laptop computers allow teachers to easily take advantage of technology.
We clearly have a very supportive central office and superintendent who gives us the latitude to design a school the way we think it should be," McCarthy says. "And I think most importantly, I don't feel I'm making unilateral decisions or leading the school by myself. It's a team effort. And that's a wonderful feeling."

Preparing our students for tomorrow's challenges is a difficult task. We as educators, must be able to grow and change as technology advances. Mary Scroggs Elementary School is a great example of a community working together to move forward. The success of their school depends on the collaboration of their administrators, local businesses, teachers, and parents. Well done!
It is incredible reading about a school where teachers have such a voice. I loved hearing that they have a part with hiring decisions and are able to collaborate with teachers next door daily. Reading about a school that was designed with the students needs first is amazing. The idea of taking out individual desks and having the students work together at a table is very state of the art. I would love having a chance to work at this school.
I think it is great that this school has taken a very important step in integrating technology into their education system. I was a very surprised that these students are learning technology as they entered kindergarten and how available it is to them doing the course of the day. This school is the example of what the educational experience should be like for all students. Since just about everything that we do revolves around technology students need to be prepared to compete in this evolving environment. Most importantly they have involved parents as part of their team in educating students.Good Job Mary Scoggs school job well done!!!!!!
I think Mary Scroggs Elementary is a perfect example of how technology can be extremely effective in schools. I think email is an excellent way for teachers to communicate with parents just as they do at this school. I also like how each teacher has a webpage for parents to view. This is a great way for parents and teachers to communicate and for parents to see what is going on in the classroom. Mary Scroggs Elementary is a school that I would be excited to teach at and excited to send my kids to. It is a perfect model for what all schools should strive to work towards. It is encouraging to see how far this school has come with technology and the endless possibilities that are out there for teachers and students.
What a great example of how to make school accessible to parents! I hope when my two small children go to school, I have access to something like that. I would love to sit down on the computer and go over my child's day so I could add enrichment to what they are learning or ask the right questions. In my experience as a teacher, a special teacher, the kids with the most involved parents achieve more success and they get better educations. I think that creates a good support base for their children. What is nice about an interactive website is that parents that work often have access to a computer and can check on things on their breaks. Great work for use of Technology!
What a wonderful concept! The integration of technology into the school curriculum is what 21st century learning is all about. Mary Scroggs uses technology as the primary tool for communication among students, teachers and parents. Class websites are a wonderful idea to keep the parents connected to what their children are doing in school. Often children do not freely discuss their day or keep their parents up to date with assignments, projects and tests. The website will provide parents with knowlege about their student's day. This will enable the parents to engage in converstion with their learner.
Mary Scroggs Elementary sounds like an ideal educational facility for any educator and student. I think it is wonderful that students are learning in kindergarten to get acquainted with technology and are using it on what seems to be a daily basis. It is important to realize though that Mary Scroggs is lucky enough to get funding to receive such technology advances. I love using technology in my classroom, but as some people have mentioned it is not a guarantee to have the resources that are needed. In my school it is a constant struggle to book the library or the one technology room. We have 2 laptop carts but one only functions properly and many times things come up blocked and it seems that using technology adds time onto lessons getting you behind in curriculum and also leads to frustration among students. I'm very on board for technology, though, and I try to incorporate it as much as possible because I believe it engages every student and it is something that students enjoy; not to mention it is the future and as educators we need to prepare our students for the future. Technology is a great asset to every classroom teacher but I think there is a definite gap that still remains with the districts that have and those that do not have. It is my wish that we could all be on a level playing field within technology; I think it would truly change some of the negative results in education to positive.
I really enjoyed this article and the way they are working with the students and parents as a team. It is important not to put the parents off to the side as outsiders and to welcome them as team members. Parents should always be informed of what is being done during the day and what is expected of their child the student. I wish I could send my child to this school, as I believe that all children could benefit from this type of learning environment.
I found this article very inspiring! What a wonderful plan this school has to offer. Having that open communication with the parents on a daily basis is fabulous! I am sure that it is not always easy for the teachers to balance technology on a daily basis, but they really seem to be doing very well. I would love to know how they balance technology, lesson plans, home life, etc. Great job Mary Scroggs Elementary!
Mary Scroggs Elementary School provides a good example of how easy it is to use technology in the classroom. Often teachers think it is difficult to integrate technology or that it requires a lot of resources and time. However, the teacher at this school simply and effectively uses technology daily just by typing and summarizing the day's events onto her computer, which is then projected for her students to read and later uploaded to the school's website. This shows that even if there is only one computer in a classroom, technology can still be used to enhance the curriculum.

Anyone have tips for installing this or info on whether this tinfoil bubble wrap actually did help cool the home?
On the one hand it seems too good to be true that it blocks 93-97% of long wave radiation. There's not a lot of data on whether this pays back in cooling energy savings if I already have blown insulation of R-30 in the attic. My home is 992 sq ft, single story with two cathedral ceilings on the southwest corner of the building. Half the roof faces south.

I'm tired of people honking at me for not flinging my car onto the ramp from Westbury and into traffic on to 278. There is such a thing as waiting for an opening.
I again made the mistake of pulling up into the merge lane. Gave the idiot behind me the space to do what they always do-- pull into traffic before I can.

So Bluffton police pulled a guy over, found he was not insured, drivers license suspended for that lack, there was another legal driver in the car that could take over driving, they let the car go on. What? The driver already had everything the law could do to him been done? Did this driver get another warning ticket? What? That driver with the suspended license-

It's interesting that a Bluffton Today staffer is talking about dreams and water. I've had two nights of flood dreams last week.
In one I drove my car into a flood of water across the roadway and realized my peril and backed it out. The car didn't stall so I could succeed. The second dream is less remembered but it was flooding water again.
I'm supposing that would mean I got myself out of trouble. That should comfort me. But the last time I had bad recurring stuff in dreams like this was before the World Trade Centers twin towers in NY fell. It makes me nervous.

I haven't heard about it from the local beer drivers I know through work. Their fuel is paid by the parent company but that parent company finds other ways to nickel and dime them to bits... But losing a day's pay wouldn't make them any happier...

Gas price vs. hurricane evacuation. Just wondering if anyone has done a study on how the gas prices will change how people think of evacuating if a hurricane comes our way? I think it was already figured that a third of people say they'd stay in their homes. If you add to it that you'd pay a huge sum to gas up the car to get out of the area, are people going to chance it and weather the storm in their homes?

$lines[0]="info1"; $lines[1]="info2"; $lines[2]="info3"; $lines[3]="info4";
And i need to insert 3 (*) empty arrays on location $lines[1] (**) and everything under $lines[1] (**) it must also shift 3 (*) arrays down.
So the result would be:
$lines[0]="info1"; $lines[1]=""; $lines[2]=""; $lines[3]=""; $lines[4]="info2"; $lines[5]="info3"; $lines[6]="info4";
Is there a PHP command for this?
i couldn't find one that does exactly this. And i got a really weird error message with all weird characters, when i tried to make my own code to do this, and run it on the server.
The code i come up with was:(please don't laugh, i'm new to php, so my code is probably bad)
<?PHP $filename = 'bestand.txt'; $lines = file($filename);
$startnummer="0"; $ruimte="1"; $teller="10"; while ($teller!=$startnummer) { $lines[$startnummer+$teller]=$lines[$startnummer+$teller+$ruimte]; $teller=$teller-"1"; }?>
But i got this really weird message.
Can anybody help me out?
(*) i need 3 lines and sometimes just 1 line. (**) $lines[1] is just an example, it could also be $lines[100] where the 'blank' arrays need to be inserted.

Winners of the 32nd Annual Awards for Excellence in Design were announced last night at the Thomas Leeser–designed BRIC Arts Media House in Brooklyn's emerging Cultural District. Mayor Bill de Blasio was on hand to honor the winning projects, which were selected by the city's Design Commission. "While Brooklyn is my home borough, I am proud to be awarding a diverse group of projects representing all five New York City boroughs," the mayor said in a statement. "This year's winners exemplify the Design Commission's mission to enhance every New Yorker's quality of life through public design, regardless of their size or location of the project." The 10 winning proposals are all unbuilt, but two special recognition awards were awarded to Tod Williams Billie Tsien's LeFrak Center in Prospect Park and Louis Kahn's Four Freedoms Park on Roosevelt Island.

Mackems Attempt To Silence Toon Army Didn't Work!
Newcastle United's fans were relocated for the derby game to the top tier of the North Stand, well away from pitch side.
It was meant to keep them up in the Gods, so they couldn't be heard. But they still made their presence felt as they willed Alan Pardew's players on.
Danny Simpson: "It helps hearing them.
"I don't know how many were there, but you could definitely hear them.
"They were so noisy. With them, you want to keep working hard and keep going.
"It was disappointing for everybody connected with Newcastle to gain just a point.
"On the other hand, being down to 10 men, we've done well."

Beach reads for your summer vacation
The sun is out and you're primed for a getaway. But while you're soaking up that Vitamin D (heavily soaked in sunscreen of course) what should you read by the pool or on the beach?

Seattle Kitchen's Katie O recommends "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn
Katie O writes ... "Gone Girl" is the epitome of a beach read and has been the book du jour on many best-selling lists for good reason. Never has getting sucked into another couple's dysfunction been so enjoyable! My only suggestion: If you really do take this on a beach vacation, bring another book because you'll gobble this one up so fast, you may be left with nothing to read for 90 percent of your trip.

Call of the wild: Feed me!
Cute animals brought out a maternal instinct. But then her project grew.
Perhaps because I was a city kid, my exposure to wildlife was limited. As I grew into adulthood, the most feral creatures I saw were teenage boys on skateboards.
That changed when I moved to the wooded hills of Oregon many years later. For the first time, I encountered animal communities in my own neighborhood, including deer, raccoons, opossums, field mice, and even skunks.
On first seeing this array of wildlife, I was enthralled; they were just so adorable. With their large, round eyes; button noses; and endearing qualities, they reminded me more of human babies – albeit furry ones – than threatening beasts of the forest.
That initiated my problem: Their cuteness brought out my maternal side. Which, quite naturally, made me want to feed them.
And so a few times a day, I began to toss slices of stale bread to any wild thing that happened to pass by. One evening, a nursing raccoon with four kits appeared on the back deck while I was sweeping. She extended her tiny, exquisitely shaped paw as though asking for a handout, and I was instantly smitten. I decided to upgrade the menu and put out a serving of fresh cat kibble and water. She came back the next evening. And the next.
Eventually, I was dishing out several piles of cat chow to the late-night crowd. Once, I counted nine raccoons all in a row, each devouring its meal in the same fastidious manner.
After the raccoons finished, the shy opossum we'd nicknamed Perry arrived to scoop up any leftovers.
All was well until the wildlife began behaving, well, wildly. The raccoons started squabbling noisily among themselves. They could be heard throughout the entire valley, I was certain. Fervently hoping my neighbors simply thought I was watching the National Geographic Channel with the volume turned all the way up, I slunk inside and stayed put.
