A personal pet hate is promotional links to non-public "social network" event pages.

amazing how many give a day and month, but no year.
Counterbalanced by the sites that were, by amazing coincidence, updated only just today. As if they knew you were coming. Uhm, sorry, site owner, but we're looking for the date of your last substantive revision, not the last time the php compiled.
I used to have <address> lines with month and year, but gave it up as too 1998 :(

Undated articles.
Sites where every article has the same date - today's.
Spelling and grammar.
Colour scheme with almost zero contrast between text and background.
Text that deliberately flows over an image and some words fade into the background.
Articles that aren't all that long, but are split over multiple pages to fake the number of "pages" viewed. I hate clicking through an article one or two paragraphs at a time. I want to scroll.
Pages with some sort of css or jquery advertising popup box where the cancel button for it is outside the viewport on a netbook.
Code examples that can't possibly work, or don't do what the text says they should.
Splash pages.
Long pages without a set of links to the various sections placed in a navbox at the top of the page.
FAQ pages with questions that no-one actually asks and a lack of answers to stuff that people do actually ask.
People that use the work "actually" twice in the same sentence.
Q&A sites with obviously incorrect or out of date answers, but where the question has been closed and no further answers or comments are allowed. Double points if the page contains no dates.
Sites with so many flashing and blinking ads that you almost have a seizure looking at it.
People that post "it doesn't work" as their sole error report and expect someone to fix it using crystal balls, mind-reading and guesswork.

Actually, I think we're even.
Mwa ha ha.
A thread in another forum reminded me of one thing that drives me stark staring bonkers:
When you come across a page by accident
insert obligatory
and start wandering around the site following links and reading other stuff-- and later when you want to go back to the original page
you can't find the #### thing anywhere
even when you follow every single link that's even remotely likely, and by this time you've forgotten what search term led you to the site in the first place, so you can't simply look for it again, and everything in your browser history takes you to the same wrong page, and...

Ecommerce sites that process your order just fine, but at the end of the satisfactory sale process just leave you at a page with.... Yep, nothing much else.
A thank you page is half thoughtful, but how about adding a simple addition of "continue shopping" or "browse our daily specials," etc.
Oh, I can think of many more, too.

There is an annoying advert in the UK about support pillows. One woman says "ever" twice in the sentence.
It goes something like this...
It is the best pillow ever used ever.
And to make it worse, they repeat her words twice during the advert. I just want to scream.

I was looking for some pans for someone who had seen them advertised on TV. I found them, and at a good price, but I didn't purchase from them because they spelt "jewel" as "juwel". I paid more elsewhere instead.
I purchase a lot of lingerie for the wife. Some sites are in the USA. One in particular decided to open up a UK site to serve Europe. Instead of paying in USD, I can now pay in Euros. I didn't bother to tell them we do not use Euros in the UK.

eCommerce sites that try to force me to enter my credit card and address information BEFORE letting me know how much the shipping costs are. I would rather abandon my cart and go elsewhere than waste my time giving up all that information.
It bugs me when people post, Walla, when they mean Voil�. I know it's likely not intended by those who post Walla, but to me it feels like it glorifies ignorance, xenophobia and provincialism all in one pseudo-word.

My comment about grammar doesn't apply across the board -- I can forgive the "one man shop" that puts up a decent blog -- but I'm seeing it almost every day in "front page" type articles on NYT, LA Times, WSJ, etc.
In the old says, I'd email the reporter or an editor with a heads-up so they could fix it -- but now it's so prevalent, I don't bother.
FWIW -- the print editions of most newspapers are suffering from the same lack of proofing and editing.

To a point, I agree.
Sometimes, I am so wound up that I type too quick for my fingers, but there is no excuse for people who use the wrong spelling of words like...
"allot" "alot" instead of "a lot"
"your" instead of "you're" (and visa versa... and worse still, UR)
"two" "too" "to"
"payed" instead of "paid" (Daily Mail guilty of this twice this week.)
...and there are a lot more like that.
I get really riled up when I hear people say things like "Spag Bol" and "De-lish" but that is for another thread. ;)

It is -- and worse.
(but more sad for print news junkies)
, the other day I noticed a major newspaper publisher (GateHouse Media, [
...] ) advertising on Craigslist for an "Editor".
First, the irony that they had to advertise on Craigslist to hire someone did not escape me.
Gatehouse owns every daily and weekly paper in my region, and hundreds across the country.
The CL job description for "Editor" included; writing, photographing, getting out to meet the community, posting online and using social media.
What used to be (5) jobs: Reporter, Photographer, Proof-reader, Editor, Marketing/PR person is now one.
So, we're stuck reading things like "
a apple
" or "
an banana

The BBC website seems to have been hiring from the Grauniad[sic] for the last 5 years or so, their homepage typos and grammatical errors are getting worse..People are described as "Italy man" ( for "Italian man" ), "America man" ( for "American man" ) , "Australia woman" ( for "Australian woman" ) etc..
Pure Chavspeak innit, no respek fo' gramuh.. :-(
"Walla" irritates me too..as does "bizzard" for bizarre, and similar crimes against "listening carefully", rather than approximating in speech or writing, the sound that one thought one heard..
I remember a post in the copyright forum here where the OP was complaining about the quality of outsourced articles which they found to be full of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors, and basically asking how to "train writers in English"..
Their own OP had more mistakes than a 30 over par golf round..and English was "apparently" ( according to them ) their first language..
Another "hate"..ads that redirect when one clicks on the "x" to close them..and ads ( such as the BBC were allowing for a while for those of us who visit from outside the UK ) that "zoom" out to fill half the page when the cursor passes over them, on the way to a navigation element..
So, we're stuck reading things like "a apple" or "an banana"... but it hurts my brain.
It happens in all languages..unfortunately it is a by-product of the unwillingness, ( due to "PC" considerations, either self imposed or imposed from outside ) by those who know better, to correct those who do not..
Murphy's law dictates that I will have made many errors in the above;) however it is very late here,06.00am, and my speeelchucker has always been schizophrenic about me typing in English on a French language system and keyboard..

You receive an email, it is something you have agreed to receive, probably during a sign up process.
You decide you actualy don't want to receive it and as if by magic at the bottom of the email "click here to un subscribe"
You click the link then get promoted to log in grrr.

Kitchen Layout
Hi everyone,
I feel like something is a little off with our kitchen design and I don't know what. Does this look like a functional kitchen to you? Anything you would be concerned about or change? I love the size and placement of the island. It is 14'2"x11'10".
We are changing the following:
-The home office is being turned into the pantry.
-The current pantry will become a desk area.
-The sink and stove will be moved off center since I will use the island as my main prep area.
Thanks for your help!
to get it started:
- how many people in the family?
- how many cooks/bakers, etc?
1. I'd move the fridge closer to the pantry/Diningroom.
I rather people walk by the pantry to get to the fridge than to walk past the range to get to the fridge.
Or w/ the new pantry, you can put the fridge where the pantry is currently.
2. do you envision a lot of sitting at the island?
consider putting a stool at the end of the island, because sitting in a straight line is not easy for conversation.
where will you put the trash and microwave?
is this new build? how will you vent out, up through attic?
Good luck,
There are five people (and one medium/large dog) in the family consisting of two adults and three small kids. Both my husband and I cook, but usually not at the same time, but there is never just one person in the kitchen!
It is a new build. We will probably do an over the range microwave for cost purposes since we are on a very tight budget. In our current home the trash is in one of the base cabinets and it works well for us now. We might bring an extra can out for parties.
If we put the fridge where the current pantry is located then where would you suggest putting a small desk area? If I leave the desk there and put the fridge behind it then it will open directly to the island and put a big wall right next to the desk. I do like the idea of getting it out of the corner.
I never thought about sitting in a straight line hindering a conversation. I do love a big island, but function and flow are top priority. Would you suggest making the island smaller to fit a chair on the side? I'm guessing that if I just add another chair it will be too tight to walk behind it comfortably.
Thanks for the suggestions!
any possibility of turning the island/stove run into a U with seating on the great room side? Then you could have the fridge further down as suggested and shorten up with island (which would then be a peninsula) allowing for a little more walking room. It seems the fridge way down there would cause a traffic jam right where you don't want it. Plus, the shortest distance being a straight line... the best line from the great room to the fridge is right through your work space.
Can you carve out a desk area in the pantry, if it's a must have?

Show me where you store your everyday dishes.
I'm trying to figure out where in my new kitchen I will store these dishes. Do you have them in an upper cabinet? Lower Drawers? pantry?
Can you show a pix of your arrangement please.
In double upper cabinets across from our dishwasher. Everyday dishes are on the bottom left shelf, plastic outdoor dishes are on the left second from the bottom shelf, serving dishes are on the other shelves and the very top shelf of both cabinets is where I store my china. I also have the kids plastic dishes stored in a drawer under our microwave (not pictured). From Kitchen
We have 2 5' long reclaimed shelves that store our everyday plates, bowls, coffe cups (though my 8 week nursling disagrees with caffeine), little plates (need more of these), and canister set I use often. Love the easy access to get and put away:
My almost 4 year old has her own drawer close to the floor. She gets and puts away her own "dishes"
Finally we use these glasses on a daily basis for our brita:
Love how easy it is to access everything. Our open shelves do at times look a bit barren when both dish drawers are full.
Ours are in the middle drawer of the 3-drawer bank nearest the end of the peninsula. You can see the DW on the right of the picture, obscured by the island. It's easy to unload the DW right into this drawer, and the drawer is handy for setting places at the peninsula counter, the table in the background, and the DR table in the next room.
This is an older pic (and old DW). I think I must have been in the process of taking off the doors to see if I liked the open-shelf look. Not so much, even after I painted the inside of the cabinet, so the doors are back, now.
There are a few odds-and-ends cups, glasses, and kiddie dishes in the cabinet to the left.
I went with a giant drawer - the drawer is being modified as the weight superseded the cabinet structure - I will have a hidden drawer inside the big drawer to spit the weight. I also no longer use the pegboard (saved 8 lbs). I love the drawer - but check the weight limits - the drawer weighed 30lbs plus the 8lb pegboard and 75lbs of dishes. The glides held but the way the drawer was mounted seemed to be the problem.
My cutlery is in the drawers above and glasses above -
It is all very close to the DW and on the way into the DR.
Mine are like annkh's, in an upper over the DW. The upper is over 40" wide, so I can stand next to the open DW and just put the dishes up and away. My kitchen is small.
Like annkh, I'm not giving you a picture. Although mine are still orderly - it's only been a year and a half. Give it time.

At long last, The Dooms U.K. return to a local stage on April 28, when they headline a bill that includes Baboon, The Banes and Corn Mo at Gypsy Tea Room. In recent years, John Freeman and John "Corn Mo" Cunningham have migrated to NYC, while the other members of the band have busied themselves in other local outfits such as Legendary Crystal Chandelier and Mission Giant, among others. But none of that matters now that the gang's all here, albeit briefly. "Art rock is like a beautiful cancer growing in the hearts and minds of the youth of the world," Freeman says. "We were forced into remission for a few desperate years, but now the world can feel our disease. The art-rock tumor is growing once again--and it's malignant as a motherfucker!" Well played, sir...
Got a message last week from Mark Griffin, better known to most of you as MC 900 Ft. Jesus, apologizing for his absence from the 2002 Dallas Observer Music Awards on April 16 at Gypsy Tea Room, where he took home the Industrial/Dance hunk of metal. Or he would have, anyway, if he'd been there. "If I had thought there was even a remote chance I was going to win an award, I wouldn't have been a no-show at the shindig," Griffin explains. "Damn, sorry I missed out. I moved a couple of weeks ago and I'm still pretty frazzled, so I kind of forgot about it until the last minute. Then the tired old geezer in me won out and I wound up sitting around the house watching TV. Aargh! Anyway would you mind relaying my thanks to those who voted for me, and mention how amazed and flattered I am?" You get all that? Because we don't mind typing it again...

This week in Sack of Kittens, because when we say a band that you like sucks, we're apparently saying that your opinion sucks: Spoonfed Tribe. Looks like? Slipknot in the Summer of Love, with masks, body paint, tribal tats and, for some reason, a bowl of grapes. Sounds like? Slipknot giving Dave Matthews Band a grudge fuck with a flute and/or the worst acid trip in recorded history. How they see themselves? Hard to tell: "To describe the Spoonfed Tribe, one needs to speak a language of color, feeling and sound. To try to pinpoint or label their style would be like caging a butterfly." (This is how they actually describe themselves and their music on their Web site, www.spoonfedtribe.com.) Sample lyrics? "And Aphrodite's mighty and her love holds tightly to our dreams that still remind me of immortality/On Mount Olympus the gods did send us to fly Pegasus through the sky," from "Pickin' Weeds." (Getting stoned and watching too much Clash of the Titans is a bad combo, friends.) Just who are these jokers, anyway? ShoNuff, Egg Nebula, Katsuk, Gouffahtts, Jerome57, P. Green36, Kaboom, U.V., SpaceCase and BigTow. (Fellas, you're not even making us work here. Come on.) Where can you find them? Playing anywhere and everywhere, from the Curtain Club and Ridglea Theater to various Bob Marley festivals around the state to opening for jam-friendly Medeski Martin and Wood in Lubbock. Number of kittens in the sack they're currently standing on? About a dozen, and their names are almost as ridiculous as the ones sported by the members of Spoonfed. Don't cry for them; they deserve the torture...
Confidential to Doug S.: We don't buy your "We Are the World" bullshit for a minute. Kiss it.

I ran into a nigga who said he was from my soil and he flashed so many signs up I just laughed. Times have changed. Was I the hardest from my turf? Never…… Was a force to be reckon with? ALWAYS!!!!!!!! I defended my turf to the best of my abilitys and none of my homies death EVER went without retaliation. But most importantly it was about PIRU wasn't no beef between Ruz like now. That shit is gay. What ever happened to Piru Love? Not the song either. The love for PIRUZ? I can remember when it was Compton City against everyone. We represented Compton first before and set. Don't really understand the times now. And I realize everyone can't be California or Compton but if you rep these set…… Rep them right. Know your history and know your enemy. But most of all know yourself. Rikki Ru now lives in Denver, Colorado. But I will FOREVER be standing on Westside Treez!!!!!!!!! 400

Analysis: Peterson has not yet been reinstated by the NFL from his suspension under the personal conduct policy. Peterson has balked at returning to the team, questioning the Minnesota organization's support of him after he was suspended for disciplining his 4-year-old son with a wooden switch. The case was resolved in court with a plea bargain. Peterson's contract has three years remaining, with a $12.75 million salary for 2015.
|Mar. 10 11:29 AM PT12:29 PM MT1:29 PM CT2:29 PM ET18:29 GMT2:29 AM 北京时间11:29 AM MST1:29 PM EST12:29 PM CT22:29 UAE14:29 ET17:29 - Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings are still working on their relationship.
Analysis: Two people with knowledge of the visit, speaking Tuesday to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation, confirmed that Peterson met with Vikings owners Zygi Wilf and Mark Wilf and general manager Rick Spielman in the New York area. This was a sequel of sorts to a trip that Spielman and coach Mike Zimmer took last week to Peterson's home outside of Houston.
|Mar. 4 1:59 PM PT2:59 PM MT3:59 PM CT4:59 PM ET21:59 GMT5:59 AM 北京时间2:59 PM MST4:59 PM EST3:59 PM CT1:59 UAE (+1)16:59 ET20:59 - The Minnesota Vikings have made their in-person pitch to Adrian Peterson.
Analysis: General manager Rick Spielman and head coach Mike Zimmer spent about four hours Wednesday afternoon at Peterson's home north of Houston. Photographers captured Spielman and Zimmer leaving together, dressed in sport coats and blue jeans. This was the first time meeting they've had with Peterson since the star running back was placed on the exempt list in mid-September following his indictment in a child abuse case involving his 4-year-old son.

Analysis: Several high-ranking Vikings officials have expressed their desire to bring Peterson back in recent weeks, and Spielman's comments to reporters at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis were the strongest yet. Spielman, however, declined to comment about whether or not the Vikings would ask Peterson to restructure his contract. His deal calls for a salary cap hit of $15.4 million in 2015.
|Feb. 6 3:20 PM PT4:20 PM MT5:20 PM CT6:20 PM ET23:20 GMT7:20 AM 北京时间4:20 PM MST6:20 PM EST5:20 PM CT3:20 UAE (+1)18:20 ET21:20 - The latest dispute between the NFL Players Association and the NFL over the league's personal conduct policy was aired Friday in federal court, as Adrian Peterson listened to arguments about his suspension that the union is trying to have overturned.
Analysis: It was more criticism of the disciplinary process that Peterson and the union have derided as arbitrary and unfair since punishment was levied by the NFL after the running back was charged in a child abuse case involving his son. He resolved the case with a plea bargain last year. Peterson and the union would prefer a ruling before March 10, when the league's free agency and trading period starts.

Analysis: Attorneys for the NFL Players Association are scheduled to argue Friday for the Minnesota Vikings running back's reinstatement from a suspension levied by the league under its personal conduct policy.

Closed - This job posting has been filled and work has been completed.
Job Description
Need IMMEDIATE (as in today) help styling a section of my website:
I know enough to get myself in trouble and I need a helping hand.
The section I need styled is the "Industry" section.
I have attached a mockup with two button states. One shows normal state and one shows link selected.
Here is where I am so far http://18.104.22.168/~psrsafet/
I have begun styling by creating a class for the entire section and a separate class for each buttom as well as a class for the "piping" (vertical separator line).
I am using a single transparent png for all of the icons and positioning the image within a block using the scroll icon
Only the background color changes when selected. Right now the bkd colors are intentionally wrong so I can see what I amd doing.
Eventually there will be no color bkd in the unselected state or (it will match the exixting bkd). The selected state should be a brighter by perhaps 10.
My main problem is that I do not want the piping to be a selectable element and I am having trouble styling it otherwise.
My other problem is that I am very slow at doing this and I am running out of time.
One more thing is that the mockup shows this section taller than I want it. Please make it 70px high with the ability to adjust the height.
Please do not alter the graphic element that I am using and keep the text of these buttons editable (in other words please do not make an image out of the text)
The site is built using the Executive Child theme running on the Genesis parent. Familiarity with Genesis is preferred.

What state are you in? He needs to get an attorney ASAP and file a workers' comp case. It does not matter if a report was not sent to workers comp within 24 hrs. As long as their is documentation that this happended and it happended at work then there is enough for a case. It is going to be a long process. He should have filed when he got hurt. Because of the situation he is right now, he has no choice but to get an attorney. His case will be denied because of the lapse of filing a claim. I just hope that you are in a state with favorable workers comp laws. (I deal with this every day, this is the law I specialize in).

He can still file a workers comp claim. He will need to support that he was injured at work and his employer could try to appeal the claim, but he can absolutely file. I agree with pp, does he have any proof on all of this? Any voice mails, texts, etc? Keep anything he has. Also, employers generally hate back injury claims because they can really add up in costs and last for years into the future. In my state the state workers comp actually assigns a 'reserve' to the claim and charges the employer account in anticipation of ongoing claim costs so I imagine his employer will fight it, and that maybe where an attorney will be needed. Good luck.

Go see an attorney ASAP. If the doctors note have in them that he was injured at work then that will support it and the fact that they paid for his office visits that is enough. Once he files a claim, it will be between workers comp and him. The insurance will take over. Again, he needs to get an attorney ASAP. Most workers comp are free consulations and no $ up front. The state I live in the fee is 25% of recovery.

See, even famous Scientologists have bad days. I mean, what will Will Smith's Annie remake do now that director Ryan Murphy has bailed?
And that's long before we even get to the question of whether the world actually needs an Annie do-over?
Murphy was attached to Annie when it was announced in February, with little Willow Smith set to star as the title character. Could you die of the cuteness? Very possibly. Perhaps that's why Murphy bounced. I bet she's really whipping her hair back and forth now.
Murphy has plenty of other coals in the fire. According to MTV in talks with Fox 2000 about remaking the 1975 cult hit The Rocky Horror Picture Show. He is also one of the directors in the running for a possible big screen version of Wicked, the musical.
Meanwhile in July Murphy is directing the groundbreaking 1980's play about the AIDS crisis The Normal Heart starring Mark Ruffalo. Things have a way of working out, haven't they?

Today, Donna Vock's name is synonymous with breathtaking statement jewels and Old World opulence — but things could have turned out very differently. Before taking a job in the Fifth Avenue office of H. Stern, the prestigious Brazilian jeweler, Vock had planned on becoming a geologist. Working at H. Stern inspired her to shift her career focus from geology to gemology, and the rest is history. After earning a degree from the Gemological Institute of America, Vock worked at Tiffany & Co. and Lazare Kaplan Intl. before launching Donna Vock Designs, her own jewelry label, in 1992. Now based in Connecticut, Vock's handmade bracelets, rings, necklaces and earrings remain true to her motto, "jewelry about you." Her range of classic and eclectic styles appeal to jewelry lovers all over the world.
When bold, vivid gems are done right, the effect is both nostalgic and dazzling all at once—as it is with this selection from two of the top names in fine jewelry. Cushioned by delicate settings, even the most brightly colored stones here drip with elegance, especially the pearl-adorned pendants, diamond-shaped bangles, and dazzling cuffs.
Delicate or substantial, the pieces in this fine jewelry sale are wrought with a deft hand and a brilliant eye for color. From David Harris, find rough-cut single strands of black- or champagne-colored diamonds. Donna Vock's jewelry takes a bolder approach, in the form of flower-carved aquamarine earrings, blossom-topped rings with rock crystal petals and a jangly bracelet comprised of lustrous colored pearls and bezel-set stones.
Warning: If you're not interesting in turning heads, do not read any further about the fabulous baubles featured in this fine jewelry collection. If you are, good news, because we've handpicked this bunch by esteemed designers Eclat and Donna Vock, including pearl and peridot drop earrings, a freshwater pearl bracelet, and an aquamarine ring that could be mistaken for a doorknob. Heads will turn. Don't say we didn't warn you.
If you're looking for Old World opulence, you can't do better than the gorgeous statement jewels in this paired-designer sale. The mix here, from esteemed designers Donna Vock and Robert Wander, offers one striking piece after another: Think tourmaline and diamond necklaces, princess cut amethyst rings, and strands of South Sea pearls, to start. From Wander you'll find signature window pendants, which evoke stained glass and are so stunning, they're guaranteed to spur some passionate conversation.

Arizona Cardinals
Undrafted rookie Dan Buckner looking to turn some heads in training camp
At 6-foot-4 and 220-pounds, Dan Buckner would be a tough guy to miss.
Yet, the undrafted free agent told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo his goal right now is simply to have his Arizona Cardinals coaches notice him.
And he says they are.
"Coach says I'm getting better every day," Buckner said. "That's what you've got to do as a rookie guy.
"You've just got to get better, try to get some eyes on you and try to get some reps in practice and the preseason games coming up."
Buckner joined the Cardinals after playing the last two seasons for the Arizona Wildcats in Tucson. As a senior last year, he tallied 61 receptions for 773 yards and five touchdowns.
Obviously the numbers were not enough to get Buckner drafted, but his skill set was intriguing enough to have the Cardinals take a flier.
And he chose them in large part because of the uncertainty facing the team's wideouts following the top three of Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Floyd and Andre Roberts.
"I had a few places...we have three established guys here and then the rest are in the mix, so it's the best opportunity for an undrafted free agent receiver," he said.
Buckner believes he's made the most of his chances, and heading into his first preseason game Friday against the Green Bay Packers he plans on heeding the words of his head coach.
"One thing coach B.A. says is when you got those plays (in games), 'Don't get exposed, get exposure,'" he said. "So that's what I'm going to try to do."

Red Wings' Chris Chelios engages in a 10-minute interview with The Fan 590
by George Malik on 12/11/13 at 02:42 PM ET
Comments (0)
Red Wings executive Chris Chelios spoke with The Fan 590's Jeff Marek and Doug MacLean earlier this afternoon, and he offered an intriguing take as to why the Red Wings and their defense continue to struggle, he offered a bit of a Winter Classic Alumni Showdown preview, and he offered a few 24/7 antagonist tidbits (it appears that the Red Wings' coach and goalie coach both dislike the cameras), he talked about the spate of suspension-worthy offenses, the fighting-non-fighting debate given that his sons play NCAA hockey (and he played NCAA hockey as well) and he offered a unique take on what happens when you play "on the edge": as far as Chelios is concerned, you have to expect some retaliation. Chelios has always believed in the whole, "Sometimes you have to take the hit, take the number of the bus that hit you and skate away" part of the equation, too:

Red Wings Wednesday news: Weiss's groin's acting up; Wings-Panthers tailings, on Franzen and Yzerman
by George Malik on 12/11/13 at 12:56 PM ET
Comments (2)
Updated 8x at 2:31 PM: The Detroit Red Wings took to the ice in Tampa Bay for a relatively early (and brief) practice on Wednesday morning, and MLive's Ansar Khan, the Free Press's Helene St. James and the Detroit News's Ted Kulfan delivered surprising news regarding one of the protagonists in the Wings' 3-2 shootout loss to Florida.
Per Khan:
Wings on ice for early practice in Tampa. Weiss is not skating.
And after practice, well:
Babcock said Weiss is out with some type of groin issue or stomach strain. Will have tests to determine extent.

The Griffins' 'roommates' can carry a tune, plus four more Griffvision videos

The Grand Rapids Griffins have posited a quintet of promotional and/or creative videos of late, and while they're promoting a "6 Game Flex Pack" in the first two videos, I can't deny that I'm surprised at how well Wings prospects Luke Glendening, Riley Sheahan, Mitch Callahan and Ryan Sproul (quite the set of roommates) can carry a Christmas tune...
Their "Christmas Q and A" is amusing...

Red Wings' Daniel Alfredsson talks about leadership and Datsyuk in conversation with NHL.com
by George Malik on 12/11/13 at 12:17 PM ET
Comments (0)
NHL.com's Dan Rosen's "Over the Boards" column mostly focuses on the Tampa Bay Lightning's injury issues, the Minnesota Wild and a pair of New Jersey Devils rookies, but Rosen also offers stand-alone-entry-worthy quips from someone who turns 41 today in Daniel Alfredsson. Alfredsson's been wearing an alternate captain's "A" in Henrik Zetterberg's absence, and Alfredsson told Rosen that he's become accustomed to reprising a familiar role on what may still remain a somewhat unfamiliar team:
Captain Henrik Zetterberg's absence from the Detroit Red Wings lineup because of injury has opened the door for Daniel Alfredsson to adopt a bigger leadership role with the team. Alfredsson, who was the Ottawa Senators' captain for 13 years, told NHL.com he feels far more comfortable exerting his brand of leadership now than when he first arrived in Detroit.
"It was a bigger adjustment period than I thought it would be, both on and off the ice, with changing everything," Alfredsson said. "Looking back on it, it has been a great learning experience for me to see what players go through when they change things in a way that I didn't really appreciate before. It's natural, too. You don't just come in and in my case being a captain for so long, just try to take over. I try to see where I can fit in, where I can help out. I think I've got a pretty good feel for that now. I definitely feel comfortable enough with this team now where I'm able to act as normal."
Alfredsson is on a hot streak, with 10 points (four goals) in his past nine games.
Alfresson also had this to say about Pavel Datsyuk's work ethic...

My overriding thought regarding the Red Wings' 3-2 shootout loss to the Florida Panthers, at least when I was trying to curl up in bed until my, "Be a responsible adult with a bad virus and write up a wrap-up, dammit" voice in my head won out, had little to do with the Wings' litany of 3rd-period collapses, their 10 straight shootout defeats, Jimmy Howard's up-and-down performances or my crazy theory about the Wings adding a #3 defenseman (and I like Alex Edler of Vancouver, who may only be tradeable because his $5 million cap hit belies $6 million in total compensation this season and then
$8.5, $12, $12, $12 and $8.5 million $4.25 million, $6.25 million, $9 million, $9 million, $6 million and $4.25 million in total-compensation investments over the balance of his deal).
It was this: Holy shit, we're 2 months and 11 days into the season, and 15-9-and-8 equals the Red Wings having played 32 games already, and when the Winter Classic takes place three weeks from today, the Wings will be playing in game 42.

Red Wings prospect news: Griffins keep the peace, keep rolling; Wheaton returns

Amongst this morning's Red Wings prospect-related news:
The Grand Rapids Griffins possess a remarkable 17-4-1-1 record, and that record stands despite having dealt with both a revolving personnel door due to the Red Wings' injury situation and an influx of AHL demotions which have pushed the Griffins to involuntarily sit 2 and sometimes 3 of their 7 "veteran" players (they're down to six due to the Wings' recall of Cory Emmerton) because the AHL prohibits teams from playing more than 4 players who've played in 320 or more pro games and 1 player who's played in 260 or fewer pro games.
As the Grand Rapids Press's Peter J. Wallner notes, even the Griffins' captain, Jeff Hoggan, has sat out pretty regularly of late, but the Griffins' veterans are both making the best of a difficult situation and they're keeping the winning machine humming despite the fact that the four vets who are sitting out in Patrick Eaves, Jordin Tootoo and Emmerton's stead--Hoggan, Brennan Evans, Nathan Paetsch and Triston Grant--were very specifically brought back to the AHL's defending champions to lead on an every-night basis:

George's crazy theory: what the Wings really need is a #3 defenseman
by George Malik on 12/11/13 at 12:36 AM ET

So I have a theory, and if it sounds too preposterous even for TMR, so be it.
Instead of pondering what would have happened had Tim Thomas not conveniently negated 2 Red Wings goals over the course of Saturday night's loss and Tuesday's disappointing 3-2 shootout loss to the Panthers (who will head to Tampa Bay to face the Lightning, who dropped a 6-5 shootout decision to Washington on Tuesday evening, when the teams tangle on Thursday) I'm going with this:
I believe that the Red Wings desperately miss having a veteran #3 defenseman who could be thrown over the boards to right a listing ship the way they could toss Kris Draper over the boards when the forwards were struggling, and even given that Danny DeKeyser's injured, I would suggest that the team needs to do what's necessary to find an established second-pair defenseman to both help the team's puck movement and especially to steady the Wings defensively.

Red Wings-Panthers quick take: blown game

That was awful. Just as the Panthers lulled the Red Wings to sleep on Saturday, they pulled the sleeper hold on Detroit on Tuesday night, and a Red Wings team that built a 2-0 lead and had the advantage for 35:26 of the game...
Blew their 2-goal lead and lost 3-2 to the Plywood Panthers in the shootout.
Was Howard sub-par? In the shootout, sure. But the Red Wings seemed to all but quit playing after the Panthers allowed Detroit to rope itself out cycling, dekeing and dangling their way through the latter half of the second period, and the 3rd was all Florida.

Yo Dawg, I Fixed Your Glass With This Plywood?

I don't know what to say about this. It is...remarkable. With 14:11 left in the 3rd period, the Florida Panthers lost a pane of glass behind Jimmy Howard, and they replaced it with...Plywood?
EDIT: It's glass, but the rink crew left the backing on it. Charming. Stopped the game to put it up but didn't stop the game to give the fans a view.
Update #2: Here's the Panthers' official explanation, per the Miami Herald's George Richards:
The 'plywood' was actually a piece of plexiglass with its protective backing still affixed.
According to a Panthers spokesman, the original piece of replacement glass broke on its way to the ice and the 'third string' piece wasn't fully ready to go.
Another piece - minus the paper backing - was put up before the overtime.

Red Wings' Pavel Datsyuk makes the Russian media rounds ahead of the Olympics

The Russian press has been very busy lately in terms of engaging in pre-holiday interviews with potential Olympian NHL'ers, with Sport-Express's Slava Malamud spending a couple of days in Detroit recently--and Sport-Express just posted the 2-part result of Malamud's efforts which could use some serious Russian-native-speaker's aid...
According to Yahoo Sports' Dmitry Chesnokov, Sovetsky Sport's Pavel Lysenkov also spoke at length with Datsyuk. The Magic Man addressed the "24/7" phenomenon with tongue planted firmly in cheek...
But you also have to participate in the filming of HBO's 24/7.
"I am very doubtful that a person with a camera will follow me around for 24 hours. But of course HBO will take a peek into the Detroit locker room. I watched some episodes when other guys were filmed… It is always interesting how other teams live."
Ilya Bryzgalov was the main star [last series]. Who will be Detroit's showman?
"Everyone on our team can realize himself on TV. The team is very open, friendly… I bet Dan Cleary will show himself better than others."
Datsyuk also talked about the recent filming of Russian cell phone commercials in Metro Detroit, as Datsyuk's about to launch a partnership with a large cell phone company to help beenfit his hockey school...
