Signing Wideman and Hudler for the length of time they did makes sense to me if they need a top six winger and offensive defenseman to get over the hump and become a contender. I know of no one who thinks this team is built to play long into spring. If Iggy, Kipper or Gio gets hurts there is scarce depth to fill those holes. It'll be a testament to Feaster's legacy if the Flames are stuck in 10th or 11th by trade deadline next season and Iggy or Kipper don't move for some quality assets. I would like to look forward to a time when the Flames legitimately look to be building for a cup or contending for a cup. Imo, Feaster isn't "kind of a genius" by signing an offensive guy with huge defensive issues and a flaky yet dynamic top six winger. He's a GM of a very average NHL team.
I agree with this. I'm willing to see how the signings work out, Feaster really has changed the team. But at this time I don't necessarily think things are going to get any better because of those changes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good cheap intro quantum book,
Johnny Cone (Madison, Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Quantum Mechanics for Applied Physics and Engineering (Paperback)
I have had little background in QM, but this book seems to explain the basics along with the fundamentals in a logical order. (Nice philosophical and logical development of Schro's Eqn and operators too) Arranged in a somewhat strange manner, it definitely uncovers some of the more misunderstood concepts (such as Dirac notation and dispersion relations), and at this price it's probably well worth it! Mostly based on applications dealing with solid state physics.
5.0 out of 5 stars Geekdom,
Darek Baingo (Ottawa, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Quantum Mechanics for Applied Physics and Engineering (Hardcover)
Good theoretical primer on the subject, although the publication date of 1981 certainly makes it not good for practical developments in the last 3 decades

A powerful yet user friendly plugin that automatically creates a table of contents. Can also output a sitemap listing all pages and categories.
I run this plugin on all my posts and pages as a siderbar, and think it's great. The only thing I have struggled with is conflicts with template CSS.
For example, try as I might I cannot get bullets back, and only ordered lists seem to work for me with my wordpress template, as can be seen here: [ link redacted, please do not post links in reviews ]
Best I could do was number listings with grey numbers and extra padding-right after the numbers.
Easy-to-use and very useful plugin. More style formatting would be nice.
Great, easy to use .. the best out there. it just breaks one of my other plugins. waiting for joy.
An excellent plugin if you write big posts with several headings. It really helps to structure the content and looks very tidy. The only drawback for me was that it was hard to change its style to differ from my normal UL lists.

Travel chaos at Dartford Crossing after lorry break down and multi-vehicle crash
Melissa Hills, deputy news editor / / NewsFollow @melissahills87
Travel chaos erupted at the Dartford Crossing on Friday afternoon after a lorry broke down in one of the tunnels and a multi-vehicle crash happened minutes later.
The lorry broke down in the western tunnel just after midday and the toll booths were closed and drivers were held up for ten minutes for the vehicle to be moved.
Just moments later at 12.15pm a five vehicle crash occurred between Junctions 1B and 1A and two lanes of the motorway were closed for 45 minutes by police.
There were no reported injuries and queues on the A2 tailed back to the Bean Interchange with drivers trying to get into Essex.

Aramex could be foreign takeover target if UAE law changed.
October 4, 2010 10:36 by Reuters
Shares in Dubai's express courier Aramex have surged this year on hopes that changes in foreign ownership laws in United Arab Emirates companies could tempt a takeover bid by larger rivals such as Fedex Corp. or TNT .
Aramex's shares were at 2.23 dirhams on Monday, just under a 27-month high. It has gained more than 50 percent this year while Dubai's index has fallen 6.6 percent over the same period.
The UAE's Federal National Council, an government advisory body, is expected to debate the law decide to raise foreign ownership limits of some companies from the current 49 percent.
"Oil and gas companies and banks are likely to stick with the current foreign ownership restrictions, but transport, healthcare, education, construction, real estate and all other sectors in which the government would welcome foreign investment are likely to have their limits raised," said Zahed Chowdhury of Al Mal Capital.
New caps will be set on a sector-by-sector basis, the Securities and Commodities Authority said in a statement. Aramex offers international and domestic express delivery, freight forwarding, logistics and warehousing, documents managements and online shopping services.
Companies can also set their own foreign ownership limits up to the maximum percentage for their sector.
Ahead of the likely changes, some investors have bet on foreign firms taking control of select listed UAE firms, with Aramex seen as a prime target for global rivals such as TNT Fedex or United Parcel Service Inc .
Consolidation within the express courier sector has been long expected, with Dutch TNT seen as a potential target for its U.S. rivals.
"There are rumours referring to some old media reports that TNT may be interested in acquiring Aramex," said Julian Bruce, director of institutional equity sales at EFM-Hermes. "The stock is solely driven by local investors who are speculating on this possibility."
Aramex traded on the NASDAQ from 1997 to 2002 and began trade on the Dubai bourse in 2005.
"Aramex is a solid company, with good fundamentals and a blend between value and growth," said Haissam Arabi, chief executive and fund manager at Gulfmena Alternative Investments.
"It's one of the stocks well liked by foreign investors and that is what is holding it a premium relative to other UAE companies, but I believe it is trading around its fair value.
"Aramex would be of interest to global players, but valuation is everything and I don't think the stock offers much upside."
Kareem Murad, an analyst at SHUAA Capital, played down chances of a hostile takeover of Aramex, despite a 90 percent free float.
"A hostile takeover would not be easy and seems pretty far-fetched because I doubt we would see a sell-off from the management itself – the CEO has built up a very successful brand over many years," said Murad.
Aramex is at its foreign ownership limit. UAE investors own 42.3 percent of Aramex, with 9 percent held by investors from other Gulf countries, 14.1 percent by other Arabs and 34.5 percent by foreigners, according to Dubai bourse data.
Murad estimates around three-quarters of Aramex's revenues come from its Middle East operations, while its Ireland-based unit accounts for around a quarter.

Publisher's Description
What happens when your ideals and desires, plans and strategies, all go awry? From what sources might one find the resolve to begin a rebuilding process? "The fact is," writes Gordon MacDonald in Rebuilding Your Broken World, "the God of the Bible is a God of the rebuilding process. And not enough broken people know that."
No stranger himself to brokenness, Gordon MacDonald draws from personal experience and discusses the likely sources of pain, the humiliation, and the long- and short-range consequences of a broken personal world. And he offers encouraging answers to the questions everyone asks when their worlds fall apart: Is there a way back?
Author Bio
Gordon MacDonald has been a pastor and author for more than fifty years. He serves as Chancellor at Denver Seminary, as editor-at-large for Leadership Journal, and as a speaker at leadership conferences around the world. His books includeBuilding Below the Waterline, Who Stole My Church, A Resilient Life, and Ordering Your Private World. Gordon and his wife, Gail, live in New Hampshire.
Product Reviews
Grace Thorne5 Stars Out Of 5April 30, 2008Grace ThorneThis review was written for Rebuilding Your Broken World.After a series of significant losses (home, career, long-term friends that just weren't, church family) in a brief period of time and the sense of belonging that goes with all of that, I read this book and found solace in the realization that my feelings of invisibility were not life-threatening. Feeling adrift and alone, the comfort in this book has sustained me for the journey of rebuilding that has evolved.
Shelley Martin5 Stars Out Of 5October 5, 2004Shelley MartinThis review was written for Rebuilding Your Broken World.I've read other books on broken world people and this was by far the best book I have ever read. I would highly recommend this book to others. We think we are the only person who has gone through what we're going through until we read about someone else just like us. Lastly, not everyone is a super-christian, there are some of us who just haven't made it yet and Gordon MacDonald has helped me to realize that.

Very clean, comfortable, good amenities without a lot of extra fluff that sounds nice but doesn't get used in practice. Free WiFi would have been nice to have.
March 25, 2010
Solo Traveler
Relatively good service with good location. Pool facilities were horrific. Moths flying everywhere, dirty inside, and bad paint.

Sam Has Changed This a Lot
Fund: Y Combinator

They have now become a fully fledged Seed Fund - they only do deals where the company and team have traction, and probably even a little funding.
Good for them if they get to choose, why not take the de-risked ones?
But don't trick yourself into believing this is the YC of 5 years ago. An idea and a smart team will no longer do - go get some traction, and even better a little outside funding.
A team that just entered the most recent batch was rejected first time round. They subsequently raised a significant seed, did a spectacular launch, and have now been accepted... Read what you like into that.PRIVATE: Members Only (48 Characters)

Inspired by an Italian fantasy, this sultry scent is a force to be reckoned with. Stella balances soft and rich aromas like white freesia and sandalwood for a fragrance that is both flirty and mysterious — perfect for a first date, don't you think? A little dab behind the ears and knees is all you need.
I actually bought the smaller size when I was in anthropologie recently and I love this brand. I had a hard time choosing which scent to buy because I liked most of them. But this one is very "me". It's not overpowering and leaves a light but long lasting scent throughout the day. I wear it a lot.5
I think this product is great, TOCCA eau de perfume, Stella smells amazing, I bought it a few years ago and a little goes a long way. It has a very appealing fragrance, and It lasts a long time. Definitely worth spending the money if you love the smell, as it lasts a long time. great product!5
This one is my favorite! It's clean, sexy and the perfect combination of not too sweet and oh so sensual. This the perfect scent for the girl who's ready to grow up and retire her hippy musk. I save it for special occasions but works well for every day use during the warmer months.5
I have been buying this scent for about 4 years now. It is warm and subtle and stays with me all day. I usually just put a bit on my wrists and then behind my ears. You have to stick with the one your man loves the most! I really appreciate that the scent isn't overwhelming or unnatural.5
I love all of the Tocca scents, but feel like this one is a little more seductive than some of the others. I also like that it lasts a little longer than some of the other Tocca scents. You can really note the blood orange and I like that it is unique and very feminine without being flowery.5

Vandalia Recreation CenterRead MoreA freestanding climbing wall with craggy angles and multiple inclines steals the spotlight at Vandalia Recreation Center by soaring to 27 feet up the middle of an atrium. But climbing is far from the 58,000-square-foot center's only attraction. Gravity-bound members burn calories at a fleet of cardio machines and build muscle with strength equipment and free weights in the fitness center, and a three-lane, 1/16-mile track helps runners train for catching the gingerbread man. At the Aquatic Center, a zero-depth entry pool welcomes swimmers who rack up laps and children who whoosh down a twisting waterslide and through a giant frog's mouth or frolic in waterfalls. A vortex and bubble bench set the stage for aquatic fitness, useful for independent exercise or formal classes. Aquatic aerobics sessions join plenty of other organized activities on the center's bustling schedule of fitness classes. Students stretch during yoga, break a sweat to the Latin beats of Zumba, and pump their legs through spinning classes. While parents work up a sweat, their offspring head to childcare at Ricky's Tiny Tikes (ages 6 months to 4 years) or Luther's Jungle indoor playground. Here, children 4 and older clamber through the jungle-themed slides, tubes, and nets with the help of a bi-level play structure or polish their da Vinci forgeries with paper and crayons.1111 Stonequarry RdDayton, OH US

Fun Center On MainRead MoreGlow-in-the-dark palm trees rise above Englewood Fun Center's 18-hole miniature golf course, greeting guests as they arrive to partake in any of the center's indoor or outdoor attractions. Clients don Hawaiian leis before taking to the 18-hole, custom-designed mini golf course, where they will lope through a tropical pastiche of tiki huts, misting waterfalls, two ponds, and multiple bearded Tom Hankses. Indoors, scampering tykes can slip on socks and tumble freely among the cushy walls and elastic floors of the inflatable bouncing area, or try their hands at skee-ball and other games in the arcade. The indoor facility also encompasses three batting cages, where hitters shoulder their favorite bat or oversized banana and swing at soft or hardballs delivered at adjustable speeds and heights to accommodate all ages and skill levels.569 S Main StEnglewood, OH US

Born on 10th November 1668 in Paris, Couperin was taught by his father Charles Couperin and by Jacques Thomelin. In 1685 he became the organist at the church Saint-Gervais, Paris, a post he would pass on to his cousin, Nicolas Couperin. Other members of the family held the same position in later years. In 1693 Couperin succeeded his teacher Thomelin as organist at the Chapelle Royale (Royal Chapel) with the title Organiste du Roi (organist to the king).
In 1717 Couperin became the organist and composer to the court with the title "ordinaire de la musique de la chambre du Roi". With his colleagues, Couperin gave a weekly concert, usually on Sundays. Many of these concerts were in the form of suites for violin, viol, oboe, bassoon, and harpsichord of which he was a virtuoso player.
Couperin acknowledged his debt to the Italian composer Arcangelo Corelli, and introduced Corelli's trio sonata form to France. Couperin's grand trio sonata was subtitled "Le Parnasse, ou l'Apothéose de Corelli" ("Parnassus, or the Apotheosis of Corelli"); in it he blended the Italian and French styles of music in a set of pieces which he called "les goûts réunis" ("tastes reunited").
Couperin died on 12th September 1733.
His most famous book, L'Art de toucher le clavecin (published in 1716), contained executions for fingerings, touch, ornamentation and other features of keyboard technique, and influenced Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach adopted the fingering system, including the use of the thumb, that Couperin set forth for playing the harpsichord.
Couperin's four volumes of harpsichord music contain over 230 individual pieces, which can be played on solo harpsichord or performed as small chamber works. These greatly influenced J.S. Bach and then much later Richard Strauss, as well as Maurice Ravel who memorialised him with Le Tombeau de Couperin ("The Tomb of Couperin").
Many of Couperin's keyboard pieces have evocative picturesque titles and express a mood through key choices, adventurous harmonies and (resolved) discords. They have been likened to miniature tone poems. These features attracted Richard Strauss, who orchestrated some of them.
Johannes Brahms's piano music was influenced by the keyboard music of Couperin. Brahms performed Couperin's music in public and he contributed to the first complete edition of Couperin's Pièces de clavecin edited by Friedrich Chrysander in the 1880s.
