Chemistry proves to be the key ingredient for Hawks
Blackhawks by the numbers
It's been said before, but the best move that Stan Bowman made this offseason was, well, not making many moves at all.
Aside from the additions of defensemen Sheldon Brookbank and Michal Roszival, the 2013 Blackhawks are made up of many of the same names that took the ice the past two seasons. And while those squads squeaked their way into the playoffs only to get eliminated in the first round, the feeling surrounding this 2013 team is different. Much different.
A lot has been made about team chemistry being an integral component on winning teams. When you examine the makeup of the most successful teams in sporting history, the argument could be made that across the board, a cohesive line up inevitably contributes to success. Some will counter that winning alone leads to the "hunky-dory-we-all-love-each-other" euphoria that accompanies a team that's on roll.
That's not the case with the Blackhawks.
They are winning because they have exceptional chemistry.
After Sunday night's 3-0 win over the Predators, the Hawks improved to 10-0-2 on the season and are sitting pretty on top of the standings. They've piled up 22 points in 12 games – 18 of those coming on the road. Before the six-game "Ice Show" trip began, head coach Joel Quenville spoke about the bonding this extended road trip would bring.
Safe to say, Quenneville was right on the money. This team is clicking.
The foundation for a great team has been building over the past two seasons. It's now in place. This is a Hawks squad that has battled through adversity together. They've survived two unceremonious exits from the playoffs, a devastating blow to one of their best players, and a hideous lockout that nearly wiped out what's shaping up to be an absolute dream season.
The dream is still alive. There's something special brewing on the West Side. The ingredients are all there. And like a good wine, they simply needed a little time to flourish. It's happening.
We can thank Stan Bowman for not stirring the pot too much.

Hey guys, wanted to ask for your opinion.Seems like iDevices have problems with iframes and the thing breaks, how would you proceed:
- Remove iframe completely on iDevices
- Remove iframe on all mobile and tablet devices
Unfortunately there is no solution for it that I am aware of (though you would expect iDevices to work well with iFrames…)
just kill it on mobile, nobody ever complained about it.
Hey guys, pushed an updateChangelog:
- Optimized bootstrap js and css as to not load the stuff we don't need
- You now can (have to) set default product (check readme)
- Iframe removes itself when mobile/tablet detected to avoid issues with iDevices
- Added "+" close to item name to point out there are more items (I hope it's fine, I did not go with arrow cause wanted to keep it simple)
Really awesome switcher , thanks .
Great stuff, will sure use it for my demos…
Nice job dude! thanks.

Like many small businesses, Libby Hager's employer took its share of recessionary lumps: LaBreche, a Minneapolis communications and branding firm, had to trim salaries at the end of 2008 to make ends meet. But Hager, an assistant account executive, is anything but disgruntled, thanks in part to some new company perks.
Take Fishbowl Friday, a time-off incentive LaBreche started last year, where colleagues put written kudos about one another into a fishbowl and one person a week is picked to take Friday afternoon off. (To make up the time, the winner will usually stay late on the days leading up to their afternoon off.)
"It doesn't seem like a lot, just a few hours in the afternoon," Hager said. "But it makes the weekend so much longer."
More important, Hager added, "It's a way for us to get recognition for the work that we're doing. Everyone's supportive of each other in a way that we had never been before. It really increases morale."
Yes, money talks. But now that handing out raises and bonuses isn't always an option, retention experts warn that employers had better come up with some alternative ways to show staff some love -- and fast.
"Ignoring your talent and assuming they will just stick around and deliver 110 percent because they don't have any other options is really wrong-headed," said economist Sylvia Ann Hewlett, author of "Top Talent: Keeping Performance Up When Business Is Down."
Eventually, the cream of the workforce crop will either resign or "spend 50 percent of their time on the job looking for another one," said Hewlett, who's founding president of the Center for Work-Life Policy.
According to a 2009 Gallup poll, only 50 percent of employees surveyed said they were "completely satisfied" with the level of recognition they received at work.
"You'd be surprised how many people tell me that their supervisor doesn't even say 'good morning' to them," said talent retention expert Jane Goldner, author of "Driven to Success: A 10-Point Checkup for Achieving High-Performance in Business."
Of course, a chipper greeting and friendly elevator chat will only go so far.
Recognizing this, Greg Muzzillo, founder of Proforma, a Cleveland-based supplier of print and promotional products, came up with some new non-monetary perks to compensate for the fact that his staff received "skinny raises and skinny bonuses" during the recession.
Among the predictable employee breakfasts and casual dress days, there were a few surprises -- chief among them a collection of managers charged with cleaning the snow off the windshields of their staff members' cars.
"It's a fun thing," said Muzzillo, who went so far as to print up "Executive Snow Removal Team" jackets, hats and gloves for participating managers. "It's, 'There's the bosses cleaning the snow off our cars!'"
Although Muzzillo expects 2010 to be one of his company's best years on record, he has no intention of giving up his pursuit of new and unique ways to reward his employees.
"It's important for organizations to continue to find new ideas," he said.
"The same old turkey every Thanksgiving doesn't work. The first year employees appreciate it, the second year they expect it, and by the third year it's like, 'Is that stupid turkey all we're going to get?'"

CART drivers knew something wasn't right as they practiced at Texas Motor Speedway. They just didn't realize most of them were experiencing similar symptoms after dizzying laps.
In an unprecedented move, CART postponed the inaugural Firestone Firehawk 600 just before its start Sunday because of concerns about safety and the possibility of overbearing G forces causing the drivers to pass out while driving 250 laps.
"It was a problem all of these drivers were experiencing, but they had no clue what they were experiencing," said Michael Andretti, CART's winningest driver. "This is an area that we've never been before physically."
Dizzy and Disorientated
Dr. Steve Olvey, CART's medical director, said the first indication of a problem came Friday when two drivers — he didn't name them — pulled off the track after long stints at over 230 mph and said they were dizzy and disoriented.
Widespread problems were discovered when Olvey met with the 25 drivers after qualifying Saturday. All but four had experienced vertigo or a similar symptom after running more than 10 laps. The others, including Andretti, didn't go those distances.
"Everybody was silent," said driver Bryan Herta. "Each guy probably felt, `Well, I must be the only one having this problem.' CART was able to put it in an environment where everybody could come forward. It was shocking."
In Danger of Blacking Out
Olvey said extended exposure to the G force felt in practice — up to 5 ½ Gs — could have caused some drivers to lose consciousness during the race.
This was the first safety related postponement by CART since 1985, when tire concerns after qualifying delayed a race at Michigan International Speedway for six days.
Never before, however, had a race been postponed on the day of the event because of safety concerns.
CART never did open testing at Texas and was caught off guard by the impact of the 24-degree banking on the 1 ½-mile quadoval. By comparison, the banking at Indianapolis is just 9 degrees, and no other track in the CART series is steeper than 18 degrees.
The high banks allow drivers to go full-out around the entire track, so speeds were exceeding 230 mph.
Racing at 5 Gs Instead of 3
The combination of speed and high banking subjected drivers to G forces of more than 5 for 18 of the 22 seconds it took to complete a single lap, CART officials said. A range in the 3s is generally considered as high as drivers can endure on most tracks.
Eddie Gossage, TMS general manager, had his own concerns about the possible speeds. He had questioned CART constantly and encouraged testing since a three-year agreement with the circuit was signed last summer.
"The bottom line is CART should have known," Gossage said. "We questioned speed in letters and faxes. We even offered some of our own suggestions."
Kirk Russell, CART's chief steward, said the closed testing by Kenny Brack and others gave no reason for concern. Brack averaged 216-220 mph in testing last December.
The speeds were much faster this weekend, with Brack earning the pole for the race with a qualifying run of 233.447 Saturday. Four drivers broke the 236 barrier in practice Saturday.
Mauricio Gugelmin and series points leader Cristiano da Matta were the only drivers to have accidents in practice. In separate sessions, their cars spun out of control coming out of Turn 2 into the backstretch.

So this past weekend I was at the grocery store doing my regular grocery shopping and I found myself in the ice cream aisle… I wasn't supposed to be there. We are kind of on a 'no ice cream diet'. It was going well until I ended up in the ice cream aisle.
In my mind I was thinking, "salted caramel ice cream sounds really delicious" and then I found it on the shelf, big mistake. It was only a pint so I thought that was better than bringing home a half gallon. So I bought it. Another mistake. When I got home I decided that if I was going to indulge in some ice cream, I wanted to make something extra scrumptious. I whipped up a salted caramel chocolate chip milkshake and that was not a mistake, it was a great decision.
So what do you need to make a killer milkshake? Ice cream that is slightly softened to room temperature, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Plus any toppings or syrup you want to add to make it extra delicious. Of course whip cream and a fancy straw are optional, but they really are the secret ingredients to making the best milkshake ever.
I hear there are new straws on the market – stainless steel ones that make your drink extra chilly. I don't know how I feel about putting stainless steel in my mouth. So readers, if you've used a stainless steel straw, can you describe what it feels like? Maybe it's the best thing ever and I'm just missing out.
Don't forget, you can save our recipes to your Ziplist Recipe Box for later use and create meal plans and a shopping list by clicking "Save Recipe."
- 1 pint salted caramel ice cream, equal to 2 cups
- 1/4 cup whole milk or 2% milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2-3 tbsp mini chocolate chips
- 3 tbsp chocolate syrup, optional
- whip cream for topping
- Blend the softened ice cream, milk, and vanilla, and chocolate syrup if using, in a blender until smooth.
- Pour into 2 glasses, evenly divide the mini chocolate chips and add to the glasses.
- Top with whip cream and a straw.
And then I added in some chocolate syrup – to make a salted caramel chocolate chocolate chip milkshake. I'll tell you that this milkshake vanished as soon as I was done shooting this recipe.

A guy like Adam Pelech makes it over Ceci, are you kidding? I knew a spot was no guarantee on the final roster, but not even the selection camp..
It's pretty obvious what Hockey Canada was thinking. Spott is head coach, so we know Murphy will be the go to guy offensively with Hamilton. Those are two guy's guarenteed to be on the PP over Ceci.
Add in Rielly, who Hockey Canada certainly view as a better option out there offensively, that is three guys who are certain to be relied upon for offence.
Harrington and Ouellete will both be back there as Defensive anchors, which leaves two open spots, which will more than likely be used on two-way d-men.
The other Offensive D that were invited (Dumba, Pouliot, Sproul) are all having years similar to Ceci (With the exception of Dumba, I think he made it because of his name) and a case could be made for any of them. Dumba and Pouliot are 18 and will likely be go-to guy's next year, (although, same could have been said of Ceci last year) and Sproul has been lights out this year.
It is not as if Ceci is a bad prospect. This year is the best for Canadian D men since 03'. He is a top 5 Offensive Dman in the CHL, but there are 3-4 who are better or equal, while being slightly better Defensively.

Al-Shabab's rough week
- By Adrienne KlasaAdrienne Klasa is an editorial researcher at Foreign Policy.
It has been a particularly rough week for al-Shabab. The al Qaeda-affiliated Islamist militia that has been battling for control of Somalia for the past few years has suffered three major setbacks in the course of a few days.
Just last month, prominent al-Shabab-affiliated cleric Sheikh Aboud Rogo was fingered in a leaked UN report on Somalia as a key recruiter for the group in East Africa with strong ties to al Qaeda. On the morning of Aug. 27, he was shot in his car along with several members of his family as they drove through Mombasa, Kenya.
No assailants have been identified, but crowds of thousands of Rogo's outraged supporters have taken in the streets of Mombasa to protest his death. At least one person has been reported dead so far and two churches have been vandalized by mobs, Jeune Afrique reported.
According to the U.N. report, Rogo was a key figure in the leadership of the Muslim Youth Centre (MYC) — also known as Al-Hijra — one of al-Shabab's main support networks in Kenya:
"The MYC relies heavily on the ideological guidance of prominent Kenyan Islamist extremists including Sheikh Aboud Rogo, a radical cleric based in Mombasa, Kenya, known associate of member of Al-Qaida East Africa and advocate of the violent overthrow of the Kenyan government. In consultation with Rogo, MYC has not only changed its name, but reorganized its membership and finances in order to permit its organization, the Pumwani Riyadha Mosque Committee (PRMC) in Nairobi, to continue funding Al Shabab."
Only a few days before Rogo's death, the U.N. Security Council announced that it was implementing targeted sanctions against Abubaker Shariff Ahmed, another Mombasa-based Kenyan national with deep links to al-Shabab. Ahmed has been in prison for over two years in Kenya for his involvement in a grenade attack on a Nairobi bus depot that killed three.
According to the Security Council resolution, Ahmed has six known aliases and is "a close associate of Aboud Rogo." Rogo's name is the only one mentioned in the Security Council resolution condemning Ahmed. Both men were placed under sanctions by the U.S. at the same time on July 5, 2012.
Also on the morning of Aug. 27, the AFP reported that African Union AMISOM troops captured the coastal al-Shabab stronghold of Marka:
"The loss of Marka, some 70 kilometres (45 miles) south of the capital Mogadishu, is another major blow for the insurgents, who have been on the back foot for several months."
Al-Shabab was pushed out of Mogadishu, the Somali capital, last year and has suffered number of further defeats over the past several months. However, they still maintain control of the two port cities of Barawe and Kismayo, their main stronghold.
Whether these events represent different strands of a coordinated regional crackdown on al-Shabab activities or whether the group is encountering a rather startling wave bad luck remains unclear.

This is the First Amended Complaint in the federal court challenge to Hawaii's state reapportionment plan. This lawsuit seeks declaratory and injunctive relief, and challenges under the Equal Protection Clause the State of Hawaii's practice of excluding military personnel, their families, and university students who pay nonresident tuition from the population count when reapportioning the state legislature.
The U.S. Census counts everyone who is a "usual resident" of Hawaii in its count of population -- including military, their families, and university students -- but the Hawaii Constitution requires the Hawaii Reapportionment Commission to only count "permanent residents." In an opinion issued in January 2012, the Hawaii Supreme Court held this means the Commission must "extract" active duty military, their families, and university students who pay nonresident tuition from the 1.3 million+ persons counted by the Census as usual residents of Hawaii. This renders invisible nearly 8% of the population.
These people are not counted by the Census in any other state, so Hawaii's "extraction" means that they are not being counted anywhere.
A three-judge court will hear the Plaintiffs' motion for preliminary injunction on May 18, 2012.

Q. ) What are the advantages of franchising a restaurant?
Ans: The advantages of franchising are-
If you get the right franchise in the right place, it can be a lucrative opportunity.
You do not have to come up with your own brand name and establish yourself from scratch. In most cases, you are relying on the franchise name to have a certain amount of awareness and a quality product that people know and want in your area.
There is help, training available to get you up, and running. Most franchises will train you to make their product and teach you how to run one of their units.
There is marketing support already in place. You will have to pay for it, but with the big name franchises, there is advertising and promotional support.
Q.) Introducing new products to existing markets is an example of which of the following?
1. Concentric diversification
2. Horizontal diversification
3. Conglomerate diversification
4. Vertical diversification
Ans : Horizontal diversification

Now, onto the second half of the title. Last week, a big deal was made about a reporter who went on television to defend her weight because a man had written in to her station to say she needed to drop a few pounds.
The reporter, Jennifer Livingston of WKBT-TV in LaCrosse, Wisc., said that the letter was bullying her. Not the case. Unless she has other examples of this man, Kenneth Krause, being abusive toward her about her weight, then this was not bullying, which is a repeated action.
What this is was someone being (while crude) critical of another. Livingston discredited his remarks as bullying, but credited those who flocked to her side as "inspiring." Translation: if you do not agree with me you are a bully, and if you do agree with me you are inspiring. What happened to taking the good and the bad, 'cause when you take them both then you have the facts of life, as the lyricist wrote.
She also compared her non-bully with those who would go after one's race or gender. Wrong again. Race and gender are not something you can choose. You can choose to diet or not to diet. The fact of the matter is that two-thirds of the nation is deemed overweight or obese, myself included, and it is a concern.
I wonder if Livingston finds it bullying when the First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, goes out campaigning against obesity, especially in children. That stance is against her chosen lifestyle.
In the end, Livingston said that she would not react to Krause's advice of using the next year to be an example by losing weight. You know what, I will then.
I have to admit that I do have a head start to this. Over the past summer, I dropped some weight - considerable, actually, and honestly I have gained some of that back. However, with this in the spotlight, I see this as a great time to re-launch my goal and progress.
It'll be fun, but wish me luck.

Snyder seeks $350 million for Detroit
Gov. Rick Snyder announced that he wants the state to contribute $350 million over 20 years to help settle Detroits bankruptcy case. The money, he suggested, likely would come from tobacco settlement dollars the state has been receiving since 1998. The proposal would need legislative approval.
Snyder said the money would be used to lessen the impact of the citys bankruptcy on pensioners and would be contingent on more fiscally responsible management of the pension funds.
Health care decision looms
Judge Steven Rhodes plans to decide Tuesday whether to approve a retiree committees request to block Detroit emergency manager Kevyn Orrs retiree health care cuts from taking effect March 1.
Retiree committee attorney Sam Alberts delivered an emotional plea to stop the changes.
Alberts said some retirees would be driven into poverty without health insurance. He acknowledged the benefits are incredibly expensive and that changes need to occur, but he called Orrs cuts draconian and unconstitutional.
Orrs plan would shift older retirees to Medicare while those younger than 65 would receive a $125 monthly stipend to buy health care coverage.
Robert Hamilton, an attorney for Jones Day, which represents the city, said the retirees had no legal right to block the changes.
Retiree health care obligations represent about $6 billion of the citys $18 billion in debt and long-term liabilities, according to city estimates.
Police and fire pension react to Snyder's plan
The Police and Fire Retirement System issued a statement Wednesday after Gov. Rick Snyders announcement of the Detroit assistance plan. It reads, The Police and Fire Retirement System of the City of Detroit remains fully engaged in the court-ordered mediation process. We are fully committed to protect the interests of the retirement system and its beneficiaries. We are hopeful that the mediation process will bear fruit to generate funds to assist the City of Detroit in making its obligation payments to the retirement system.
Rhodes denies creditors an art evaluation panel
Judge Steven Rhodes denied an attempt by creditors to challenge the citys evaluation of city-owned treasures at the Detroit Institute of Arts, saying that a previous estimate by the New York-based auction house Christies was good enough at this point in the bankruptcy process.
At the same time, Rhodes raised questions about whether he would even allow the sale of DIA art to settle city debt while also emphasizing that he had not yet made up his mind on the matter. He also said that creditors would have ample opportunity to argue these issues down the road.
A group of creditors was asking Rhodes to establish an independent committee to evaluate how much the DIAs entire collection is worth. They said Christies evaluation, which was ordered by the city, was flawed because it only covered 5% of the collection rather than the entire 66,000-piece collection and, they argued, that the art was worth far more than Christies high-end estimate of less than $900 million.
Rhodes said hes not totally unsympathetic to creditors that want to squeeze cash out of the art but he suggested that Christies estimate went a long way toward addressing those concerns.

I have the possibility of landing a nice job in Tunis. Being that I am currently landlocked at my current job, I am very excited! For those that know this area, where are some of the nicer places to live and sail? Hassels? Problems?
Would it be possible to commute in from Malta? Is there a regular ferry between the two?

VIDEOS: Six men honored at Baseball Hall of Fame ceremony
Hall of Fame: Capsules on each | Maddux elite | Glavine great | Thomas, too
The 2014 Baseball Hall of Fame class is one of the most loaded in the history of the Hall. For the first time since 1971, six living men were enshrined. The estimated crowd of 48,000 spectators on hand is the third-most in recorded history behind 2007 (75,000) and 1999 (50,000).
Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine were the first set of pitchers to go in together on the first ballot since the first-ever Hall of Fame class, when Walter Johnson and Christy Mathewson did so. Throw in Frank Thomas, and it's the first time a trio of men went in on their first chance since 1999, when Nolan Ryan, George Brett and Robin Yount got the honor.
Managers Tony La Russa, Bobby Cox and Joe Torre were also enshrined and they rank third, fourth and fifth, respectively, in baseball history in manager wins behind legends Connie Mack and John McGraw.
Given all the above facts, it's not a stretch to suggest this might have been the best Hall of Fame class since the first two or three -- when they were filling out the Hall in the late '30s.
Here is Thomas getting his plaque:
Here's Cox telling a funny story about Glavine:
Here's Greg Maddux with an excellent crack on John Smoltz:
La Russa discussing a self-deprecating story on his prowess as a player:
And Torre, touring the Hall and discussing his feelings on induction:

All I Want for Christmas
Would you rather share the holiday season with the cinematic likes of Francis Ford Coppola, or your overcritical in-laws? If all you want for Christmas is a sneak peek into the jet-set world of Oscar nomination, then Aspen is the place to be today through January 2, when the Aspen Film Academy Screenings roll into town. "These are films released in the last quarter of the year that distributors have positioned for some kind of Academy Award. It's perfect, because people in the film industry come to Aspen for the holidays, and, unlike other screenings, this one is open to the public," says the Academy's Laura Thielen.
The excitement begins tonight at 5:30 p.m. at Harris Concert Hall, 960 North Third Street in Aspen, with The Great Debaters; later screenings include The Orphanage, executive-produced by Guillermo del Toro (of Pan's Labyrinth fame); Sean Penn's Into the Wild; and Coppola's long-awaited Youth Without Youth.
Tickets are $12; for a complete schedule and other information, call 1-970-925-6882 or go to www.aspenfilm.org.

Hesher (R)
3 stars out of 4
Take a minute and tally up the number of people who started out as child movie actors and went on to equal or greater success as adults. There's Jodie Foster, Christian Bale, Natalie Portman, Ben Affleck (sort of) and the recently deceased Jackie Cooper.
Making such a transition from TV to film is tougher and that list is even shorter. You've got Leonardo DiCaprio, Jason Bateman and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Coincidentally, DiCaprio and Gordon-Levitt appeared together in last year's multi-Oscar-nominated "Inception."
If you can't quite picture Gordon-Levitt, you're not alone. Remember "Third Rock from the Sun"? That was the biggest of the three TV shows he was in and the one where he acted principally with very seasoned adults.
As the title character in "Hesher," Gordon-Levitt is the grown-up (at least biologically) acting opposite the pre-teen T.J. (Devin Brochu), a young man trying to deal with a recent loss, his depressed, over-medicated father (Rainn Wilson), a loopy grandmother (Piper Laurie) and a bully intent on maiming if not outright killing him.
While tooling around a construction site on his bike, T.J. inadvertently displaces the squatter Hesher from his digs and Hesher is not pleased. Using dynamite to distract an investigating security guard, Hesher insures both he and T.J. will avoid arrest but Hesher isn't the type to let a slighting like this slide.
Shown most of the time shirtless, unwashed and chain-smoking, Hesher sports several crude and obscene homemade tattoos and the surly attitude of a biker trying to work off a weeklong bender. With nothing else to occupy his time, the pyromaniac Hesher shadows T.J. every waking moment and puts him through a psychological wringer.
Although able to rescue T.J. from a humiliating degradation, Hesher abstains, which only adds to T.J.'s gnawing and accelerating angst. The tension escalates even further with the introduction of Nicole (Portman), a down-on-her-luck grocery store clerk who plays a significant role in most unexpected ways to both T.J. and Hesher for the rest of the film.
Some may think -- and others have written -- that the Hesher character is too broad and extreme to be taken as a serious or believable character. He doesn't speak unless he absolutely needs to, has an obvious ax to grind and doesn't give a flying fig about anyone -- including himself. He's lost something or someone very dear to him but not -- in his own severely twisted way -- his sense of honor and dignity.
It takes the total length of the movie for it to become apparent, but Hesher represents our collective unconsciousness. He does and sometimes says things no rational person would dare do in public, or for that matter, in private. At some point we've all been Hesher to a degree yet watching a character as brazen and unflinching as this can be understandably disturbing and oddly cathartic.
All of the stark, unapologetic, in-your-face attitude of the first two acts nearly gets negated when co-writer/director Spencer Susser caves to convention and ends with two scenes that soften both Hesher and the film. Hesher exits doing something far more Hallmark than Gonzo Punk and all of it feels a bit too comfy, calculated and falsely uplifting.
Far from anything that will make him a household name (the movie will be lucky to break even), "Hesher" was the ideal role for Gordon-Levitt to take at this time. In tandem with "Mysterious Skin," "Inception" and the sublime "(500) Days of Summer," it further proves he's got range to burn and can walk that ultra-thin tightrope between mainstream and art house as either a lead or supporting performer.
With some blessed timing and a phenomenal agent, Gordon-Levitt could become the next De Niro, or at least a child actor who grows up to be more than a trivia question. (Wrekin Hill Entertainment)

No joy with absolute positioning. It's a stubborn little bugger!
Browser specific CSS ie8 hiding Carousel section
Posted 08 April 2013 - 01:57 PM
Posted 08 April 2013 - 03:11 PM
What code are you using now?
Posted 08 April 2013 - 03:34 PM
Just tried that code (I had tried .section-carousel before and that didn't work) and it did the same as { display: none; }
The carousel was gone but so was the background image!
Posted 08 April 2013 - 04:42 PM
Right.. install and activate the customize plugin... then add this code to the functions.php in that plugin:
Dont forget to add your pageid.
This disables the section completely for that page.
Posted 11 April 2013 - 10:15 AM
Still no good. Didn't remove the Carousel.
Posted 11 April 2013 - 10:22 AM
What Page ID did you add to the code ?
Posted 11 April 2013 - 10:30 AM
358 - this is the ID of the 'newsletters' page, which is one of a couple that has the Carousel on. I thought it was best to try it on one to see if it worked before applying it to all the pages with the carousel on.
Posted 11 April 2013 - 03:29 PM
What is the CSS you used that includes that page ID?
Posted 11 April 2013 - 03:46 PM
I just checked the page source for the ID. I also have a 'get page ID' plugin that confirms that the ID for that page is 358.
Posted 11 April 2013 - 05:13 PM
It does work, you just have a different template.
In the code i gave you change the word gamma to default
It appears twice.
