Adric's 'Game' TasterAs he stumbled away he could hear the girls laughing at him, at what theyd just done to him. He sniffed, wiping away tears that had they forced from his eyes by the repeated attacks on him and the tickling of his feet. As he ran to the bathroom to clean his face again his young mind whirred with thoughts, his brains processes powered by a deep embarrassment and lubricated by anger. How dare they? How DARE they do that to him? He was only a teenager, and there were two of them to his one. It just wasnt fair; he was always treated as a childAdric's 'Game' Taster by AddieFanclub

Aftershock2After the Doctor had gone to bed too he breathed a sigh of relief. Well, breathed wasnt the right word, not in his state. Whatever, he was glad tonight was one of those nights when the old Time Lord did sleep. He felt like doing what he did best, and now no one would interrupt him.Aftershock2 by AddieFanclub
He floated down and materialised in the form that was the same as his body. Technically, being nothing more than soul and memory, he could choose any form he wanted, and indeed during the day he could be anything. An LED flashing on the console, a roundel covering, a chess piece. Anything that kept him hidden as he watched the Doctor go about his business with his companions. But on nights like these he wanted to be him, as he was before the accident. Maybe somewhere deep down he wanted the Doctor to get up and discover him, but he was terrified of what would be said. Would the Doctor be angry with him? Would he be over emotional? Too many questions, and he didnt want to know

Hey guys!!! (anyone who is still here hahah xD)
I made a Patreon page over here www.patreon.com/cosmicspectrum
The past few years I spent most of my free time working on assignments over at Sheridan Animation college, and now i'm finally about to graduate! I have gained a lot of skills and knowledge about illustration, concept art, vis dev, and animation, and I want to share it with you guys!
I'm still completely dead-set on re-launching IDFracture (my online comic), and I've been steadily working towards it. I know i've pretty much been dormant on that front, but it's only because I decided to re-write the story and completely upgrade the quality of the comic!
You guys' support over the years has been the most encouraging thing to me, and if it weren't for that i would have probably given up by now!! Please check out my Patreon page and help me out if you can, and in return you will get plenty of material that i have never shared online before! <3

My DH and I are pretty much done. We haven't had a good relationship for about 2 years. We argue. I don't really find him interesting, he is very negative, says really strange things, and has low self esteem. Its like he lacks common sense, the ability problem solve and set achievable goals for himself.
He quit his job as a teacher last year to be a SAHD. However he was miserable with his job and was on the verge of getting in trouble because of how he conducted himself. It never came to that and technically he can return next year (leave of absence). He doesn't want to go back. I've told him to look for other work, but he doesn't think he could get another job.
Anyways, he's still unhappy and really doesn't do a good job on the domestic end either. It seems like he is pretty terrible and doing most things. He plays music and sings, he's good at that, but doesn't really have much motivation. He blames everything on not having enough time. Which he doesn't use well.
Ok, so that's a little background /rant. Now hears the main question. Overall, he's a good person and good with the kids (6 and 19 mo) . He doesn't have a job right now. He is pretty a civil person and puts the kids first. I am wanting to separate, but because of the kids and finances, I don't want to kick him out. I want to live together until we could easily afford daycare and he could afford to live on his own.
Ive read a lot of articles and there's a book called "Living Together in Divorce" that looks helpful. I think he might agree, but I'm not sure how to bring it up. Any suggestions or advice?

Honestly I think people who care about you react like that because they worry about you and the 'what ifs". What if something goes wrong? What if you are in a lot of pain and wont have what you need? What if the baby isnt in the right position? Etc etc.
I think its great to have a game plan, everyone should, but its not a silly thing to have a backup plan as well and to know what all your options are. With my first I really thought I wanted things one way and ended up doing something else. In the end I had a really positive experience, which is the most important thing. Just something to keep in mind!
Love our American/New Zealand/Australian/Canadian family! Two sweet girls, Nov 2010 and April 2013
My family acts in a similar way. THey ACT like they are supportive but in the next breathe they are saying how silly it is and what they would do. I have had 2 births with an epidural and this one I want differently. People always like to laugh off how "silly" I am for not wanting an epidural, like it is just the craziest thing they ever heard. I don't roll my eyes and act like they are stupid for wanting the things they want in their birth! It is insane to me what the "norm" for child birth has become!
This time I'm hoping to go a drug free water birth at home (not offered in hospitals where I live). I don't think we'll be letting many people in on all that. But I've done my research, I know why I want to do what I do, and that's unique for our family

We are very excited about the launch of Beta 1.2. We've had tons and tons of awesome gaming moments with all of you in just these first 2 days already. Here is some capture media from the first 2 days of the Beta 1.2 release:
Here it is! See if you can be found!
Make sure to keep playing Beta 1.2. Let's get it on SteamWorks!
unless you guys fix the fps ingame i m not coming back.
your fat.
Why don't you just buy a video card that doesn't suck?
QQ If you cant run a mod on the source engine it's really time to upgrade.
funny since this is the only mod i m having problems when i can play other mods better that orion. this happen in the first beta and still happens in the new one.
Yeah... you shouldn't even bother with moddb if you can't run a ******' source mod. Asking a dev team to downgrade an already old game engine is just stupid.
i can run the ******* source mod but the ******* mod runs at 15/30 fps ingame while other mods run 50/200fps well.
Strange, this runs better on my rig than any other source mod.
It runs great - what are your system specs?
What!? This game runs fantastic, better than almost any other game I play. My fps peaks at 300 and falls no lower than 100. Running it on a 9800 gt 512mb. Nothing special, actually a really cheap card.
Yeah we went balls-to-the-walls crazy on the game performance aspect.
My computer is all kinds of terrible and I can decently run this game.
Great idea guys! I will almost surely be there tonight (WNxNozzy in game.) It's hard to spark my interest in HL2 MP mods... I'm pretty picky about them and I've only stuck with GoldenEye: Source for the last couple of years becasue it's one of the few very high quality mods for HL2 out there but Orion is my new 2nd favorite. Thanks for the awesome game, can't wait to see what the future holds for this mod!
Thanks Nozzy, can't wait to see you there!
I see my name in one of those screenshots! Haha!
Yeah, I see mine too!
First on the scoreboard, as always :P
hahaha, jajajajajajajajajajajajaja :D
Looks fantastic. I should hopefully get a chance to play this soon, all installed and ready to play, I'm just really busy with my GCSEs at the moment.
I didn't even know this was going on. I better participate tomorrow lol :P

ESPANOLA, N.M. (AP) — The New Mexico Department of Transportation and the City of Espanola have opened a $500,000 park-and-ride lot that commuters can use to board buses to Los Alamos, Pojoaque (poh-WAH-kay) and Santa Fe.
The city donated 1.25 acres and the state provided funds for paving, lights and passenger shelters. The lot has parking spaces for 126 vehicles.
Officials say about 105 passengers board park-and-ride buses in Espanola each day.
New information obtained by the Los Alamos Monitor Wednesday afternoon indicates that sexually explicit material may have been downloaded onto Los Alamos Fire Department computers.
The report comes on the heels of charges filed Sunday against firefighter Brandon Gore for indecent exposure and the Oct. 18 charges of voyeurism and tampering with evidence that are pending against former Capt. Aaron Adair.
Albuquerque — The 21st annual KOATs for Kids campaign is in full swing and will run through Dec. 31.

The teachers at Chamisa Elementary School used to see a lot of drink pouches get thrown away.
Once they signed up to recycle them through a company called TerraCycle, the school began earning two cents for every one of those pouches and became part of a nationwide effort that has just reached an impressive milestone of keeping 50 million pouches out of landfills.
In addition, TerraCycle, which makes affordable, eco-friendly products from packaging waste, and Capri Sun have paid $1 million to schools and non-profits in return for the recycled drink pouches.
The December Juvenile Justice Advisory Board Meeting
will be from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Los Alamos Community Building, east end of Ashley Pond. Please plan to attend this event to thank Con Alma/Northern New Mexico Health Grant Group for continued support of JJAB and local agency programs.Pizza and refreshments will be served.

A veteran journalist with more than 25 years of newspaper experience, John Severance comes on board as the new editor of the Los Alamos Monitor, effective Dec. 1.
Publisher Keven Todd made the announcement to staff yesterday. Severance steps in to replace former editor Garrison Wells who had to return to Colorado to provide care for his parents.
His mother was recently diagnosed with lung cancer.
Despite sticker shock on a project where the cost estimates have nearly doubled, the Capital Improvement Project Oversight and Evaluation Committee is recommending the county council approve funds for design and construction of a multi-use covered arena on North Mesa.
The committee gave their thumb's up during a meeting Tuesday night. It is not yet determined when council will discuss the recommendation.
Four different options and costs were presented for the committee's consideration.
Los Alamos firefighter Brandon Gore has been charged with indecent exposure in Albuquerque — the third incident to rock a department already left reeling from two other high profile cases this year.
According to the criminal complaint filed in Bernalillo County Metropolitan Court, a Bernalillo County Sheriff's officer was dispatched to the 1000 block of Alameda Blvd., at about 1:30 p.m. on Sunday on a report of a man exposing himself.
A hearty thanks to Gov.-Elect Susana Martinez for assuring that my job will remain easy and fun.
For 16 years, with Gary Johnson and Bill Richardson as governors, this job has been a joy.
I woke up every morning knowing they would give me something to write about that day.
Former Gov. Bruce King's motto was "Let's keep it between the fence posts." Not much to write about there.

It's been 30 years since Madonna popped out of a wedding cake and rolled around on the stage, but her VMA performance is still fresh in our minds. And it was only last year that Miley Cyrus twerked up a storm of controversy with Robin Thicke – certainly no one's forgotten that. While viewers can depend on MTV to deliver the OMGs to kick off awards season, some things have changed.

Instead, the twerk-happy star, 20, opted for a throwback costume inspired by another skin-baring star who courted controversy at the MTV Video Music Awards more than a decade earlier: rapper Lil Kim.
On Wednesday night, the "Wrecking Ball" singer Tweeted a photo of herself dressed in the memorably skimpy outfit Kim wore to the 1999 Video Music Awards.
Donning a sultry look, a purple wig and that infamous purple pasty atop her left breast, the singer simply captioned the Tweet "Happy Halllllloweeeen" with four hearts after it.

"Please be sure that buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered," reads the email, obtained by Deadline.com. "Thong type costumes are problematic. Please avoid exposing bare fleshy under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack. Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic."

"I don't know what that was. I'm pretty sure I feel the same way everybody else feels right about now," Kim, 37, said Wednesday night on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live. (Watch the clip below.)
But then Kim got a little more blunt in her appraisal of the 29-year-old rapper. "If you have to make a song called 'Stupid Hoe,' you must be a stupid hoe," Kim said after host Andy Cohen told her got many questions from viewers about her thoughts on Minaj.

VAN: Storming Heaven by David Mack Review Thread (Spoilers!)

Re: Vanguard: Storming Heaven by David Mack Review Thread (Spoilers!)
MatthiasRussell wrote:
^Wow. I agree that the destruction of the Omari Ekon should have been covered better. It was such a major player in the series that I feel its destruction meritted a chapter of its own rather than a passing mention. But on the other 2 points, I couldn't disagree more.
If the Enterprise hadn't entered the fray, every one of the main characters would have been killed. I honestly wouldn't have believed them winning, nay, surviving, with the resources they had at the beginning of the battle. Besides, with the Enterprise being prominent in Book 1 and the series shedding light on TOS throughout, I find it appropriate the Enterprise should be there in the end.
I don't understand how you come down so hard on Reyes. If Nogura had been commanding during the Shedai massacre, he would have given the order to glass the planet without any visible remorse and definitely wouldn't have leaked information. Reyes tried to convince his ex and her people to not turn down UFP support and she wouldn't listen. He then tried to warn others of the Shedai threat and was crucified for it by Starfleet. The burden of those deaths go to Starfleet command and Reyes' ex.
I feel Reyes and Desai did their share of suffering and I was happy they got an appropriate ending. I further appreciate this knowing that in the beginning of the creative process, there was no plan for Reyes to face court martial at all.
I have no problem with the Enterprise showing up the first time, helping out with the Sagittarius mission. Spock also got his time with T'Prynn back on the station, bringing their story to a close.
It's having the Enterprise show up and save everyone that felt wrong. The whole "Gosh, if it weren't for the Enterprise we'd all be dead" moment. Having someone from outside the Vanguard series save everyone at the end just felt wrong to me. It's the final curtain. Let the stars of the show have the spotlight without the better known guest stars upstaging them.
Reyes let civilians go to a place that he was very sure would prove to lead to their deaths. The only one he seemed concerned about was his ex-wife. If he had told them that the situation was extraordinarily dangerous due to a poorly understood, hostile alien race and they went anyway then it would be on them. He didn't. He denied them the knowledge to make the choice for themselves and let them get slaughtered. And then he didn't face any sort of punishment for his actions. He got court martialed for revealing secrets. Letting him live on with the love of his life on a peaceful planet lets him escape the consequences. Actions, particularly ones that lead to hundreds of deaths, should have consequences and he totally dodged them.
Another thing I found interesting was that TOS was essentially set during wartime, albeit on a limited scale in the Taurus Reach. The revelation that Kirk was seeking out powerful allies to take on the Shedai was very interesting. Was Starfleet looking to use M-5 controlled ships to combat the Shedai? Did Starfleet have Bailey try to recruit Balok and the First Federation to join the battle? How many episodes can you tie back into the Shedai war, even indirectly?

On April 11, 2013 the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres got into an all bench clearing brawl. Dodgers brodcaster Vin Scully had a creative term to try and quote the outburst by Matt Kemp: "fertilizer." Instead of repeating the explicit word Kemp was using during the brawl, Vin quoted him as saying "That's fertilizer! Thats fertilizer!" That man is a legend.

Scholarly interest in the relationship between social cleavages and political alignments can be traced to recurring political predictions (especially in the European context) that the interests of a growing working class might provide the foundation for an 'electoral road to socialism'. These predictions were based on the assumption that class interests inevitably lead voters to favor the political party most likely to advance those interests. The 'class politics' thesis became the object of social science inquiry when political change did not unfold in the ways predicted by the theories put forward by Marxists and other social democratic intellectuals.
The implications of extending the franchise to the working class in late nineteenth-century Europe were widely debated. In the infamous introduction to the 1895 edition of Marx The Class Struggles in France, 1848-50, published at the very end of his life, Friedrich Engels hailed the steady growth in the votes received by the German Social Democratic Party (SPD), arguing that this signaled the inevitable electoral triumph of socialism. Engels wrote that 'the two million voters [the SPD] sends to the ballot box . . . form the most numerous, most compact mass, the decisive "shock force" of the international proletarian army. This mass already supplies over a fourth of the votes cast; and . . . [i]ts growth proceeds as spontaneously, as steadily, as irresistibly, and at the same time as tranquilly as a natural process. All government intervention has proved powerless against it.' 1 Conservative opponents of the socialist movement were also keenly interested in the political effects of the extension of the franchise. For example, in the debates in Britain in the 1860s over reform proposals to extend the franchise to all male voters--irrespective of their property endowment--one of the bitterest opponents of the pending legislation, a Conservative member of Parliament, Robert Lowe, declared:
Look at this tremendous machinery: if you only arm it with the one thing it wants--the Parliamentary vote . . . the working classes . . . are the lever. But

I'm thrilled to announce that JUDGMENT, the first book in my new series featuring forensic psychiatrist Caity Cassidy and FBI profiler Atticus "Spense" Spenser for Harper Collins/Witness Impulse, has been named "A Best Book of 2014″ by Suspense Magazine
If these two rivals can't work together…
Dr. Caitlin Cassidy is on a mission to protect the innocent. Fifteen years ago, she witnessed her father's execution for a crime she's convinced he didn't commit. Now she works as a forensic psychiatrist to make sure that other innocents don't meet the same fate.
Special Agent Atticus Spenser is hell bent on locking the guilty away.
A brilliant FBI profiler, Spense loves, a good puzzle…especially when the solution takes a psychopath off the streets. But his nemesis, the enigmatically vexing Caity Cassidy, is one puzzle he's never been able to solve.
…one of them is going to die.
When a young coed falls prey to a sexually sadistic killer, Caity and Spense are called in by opposing sides. But before the case can go to trial, the accused man is murdered in a brutal attack and Caity is critically wounded. Now Caity and Spense must put aside their differences and work together to uncover the truth—because the Man in the Maze is coming back for round two.

Marketing to a single person
Marketing is commonly done to single individuals, influencers and sales prospects alike. A number of my posts reflect that reality. Most comprehensive are probably my 2014 post about presentations to small audiences and my 2008 survey of many kinds of influencer. Relevant bits of other posts include:
You can't sell effectively without listening. This is one of the basic facts of business, yet shockingly many people forget it. You can't pitch effectively without understanding how the prospect frames what she hears, and you can't judge that unless you listen to what she says.
from a 2013 post about "fluency",
If you are a small startup with innovative technology, put as little as possible between your own people who can talk with passion about the stuff, and whoever you're trying to get coverage from.
from a 2011 quoted journalist rant,
the right person to lead an important relationship is:
- Usually somebody who can truly speak for your company, and specifically:
- Has the knowledge and ability to respond to pushback.
- Knows the influencer well enough to argue back in turn.
Occasionally an in-house press or analyst relations staffer. Almost never an outside PR person.
from a 2012 collection of marketing communications tips, which also makes the point that you should flat-out ask people how they like to work, and a variety of cautionary tales of how one can bungle meetings or other relationship moments.
The above can be summarized as:
- Respect the person you're trying to impress.
- Treat the person you're trying to impress as an individual.
- Listen to the person you're trying to impress.
- Understand and cater to how the person you're trying to impress thinks.
I could write a whole post on that last bullet point alone.
Here are some further tips for productive single-person marketing and persuasion. Read more

Presentations for small audiences
My dislike of slide presentations is vehement and long-standing. Even so, my consulting duties often lead me to critique vendors' slide decks, hoping to make them a little more tolerable. Most of the precepts I rely on in these exercises can be encapsulated in "C" words:
- All messaging needs to be Clear, Compelling, and Credible.
- Credibility depends upon, among other factors, Consistency.
- All collateral should be Cleanly Copy-edited.
- A presentation should always be tailored for the specific audience and purpose (it's not a crazy stretch to call that Context).
And at the risk of drowning in excessive Cs, slide decks are a primary venue for a recent post topic: Short lists of Concise Claims.
Let's talk a bit about that tailoring. Some things are shown only to very specific audiences. For example: Read more
Marketing in stealth mode
I consult to ever more stealth-mode companies, so perhaps it's time to pull together some common themes in my advice to them. Here by "stealth mode" I mean the period when new companies — rightly or wrongly — are unwilling to disclose any technological specifics, for fear that their ideas will be preempted by rival vendors' engineering teams (unlikely) or just by their marketing departments (a more realistic concern).
To some extent, "stealth-mode marketing" is an oxymoron.* Still, there are two genuine stealth-mode marketing tasks:
- Recruit employees.
- Prime the pump for post-stealth marketing.
Further, I'd divide the second task into two parts — messaging and outreach. Let's talk a bit about both.
*I am reminded of my late friend Richard "Rick" Neustadt, Jr., whose dream job — notwithstanding his father's famous book on presidential power — was to be a US Senator. So he needed to punch his military duty ticket, and got a billet doing PR for the Coast Guard. (One of his training classmates was Dan Quayle.) His posting was to a classified base, and so his PR duties consisted essentially of media-mention prevention. But I digress …
Stealth-mode messaging
As I wrote in a collection of marcom tips, the pitch style
"We're an awesomely well-suited company to do X."
is advantageous
- In stealth mode, when you don't have anything else to say …
- … but not at first product launch, when you finally do.
For small start-up companies, this message is most easily communicated through highlights of the founders' awesome resumes, for example:
Our CTO personally stuffed and dyed the yellow elephant for which the Hadoop project is named.
But that still begs a central question – how do you describe what your stealth-mode company is planning to do? I.e. — in the quote above, what is the "X"?
Faith, hope, and clarity
Some principles of enterprise IT messaging.
0. Decision makers are motivated by two emotions above all — fear and greed. In the case of enterprise IT, that equates roughly to saying they want to buy stuff that:
- Is safe.
- Will confer benefits.
1. For a marketing message to succeed, whatever its goals are, the "confer benefits" part of the story needs to be:
- Compelling
- Believed
2. The "safe" part needs to be believed too. Rational belief in the safety of doing business with you is good. Blind faith is even better, but usually is enjoyed only by the most established of vendors.
In some cases, that may be the greatest competitive strength they have.
3. To be believed, enterprise IT messaging generally needs to be:
- Credible
- Clear
A certain amount of exaggeration is expected, and easily shrugged off. It's also possible to get away with a certain amount of vagueness, whether in a fear/safety story or when pitching something as new/innovative/exciting. But don't overdo either.
One common way to overdo your exaggeration — make an obviously false claim of uniqueness.
4. Please note: Deficiencies in the consistency of your messages can undermine credibility and clarity alike.
5. Messaging can become distorted in many ways, both accidental and deliberate. For example: Read more

Execution for IT vendors: a worksheet
It seems that my IT vendor strategy worksheet was well-received, by companies at different stages of development, clients and non-clients alike.* So here's the promised sequel — a similar worksheet with more of an execution orientation. If your answers to these questions don't dovetail well with your strategy responses, you have some serious rethinking to do.
*Those who've worked it through include a multi-billion dollar powerhouse, a two-person lifestyle business, and some pre-revenue start-ups.
For the strategy worksheet, I took the extreme position that every employee of every IT vendor should have at least some idea of the answers. In this case, I won't go quite that far. But I will say that most IT vendors will find most of these questions to be of great importance. So no matter what your role in the organization, you might find it helpful to see how much of this stuff you actually know.
And if you're the CEO, you should score 100%.
Once again, for reasons of length, I'll summarize up top and comment on each question below.

No, companies are NOT entitled to manage news about themselves
Michael Arrington is in another flap, this time for asserting TechCrunch's right to blindside companies with news. To disagree with him, you almost have to take the stance that companies have some sort of right to manage news about themselves, which I see as pretty ridiculous.
Recently, I got into a flap with EMC Greenplum. I blindsided them on a story; they retaliated for the story by, among other things, screwing me over business-wise. Why did I blindside them in the first place? Because I believed that if I didn't, they'd put me under intense pressure not to publicize news I'd obtained. (Given the punishment they dished out for my running it, I imagine my belief was quite correct.)
Meanwhile, here are excerpts from a post I drafted last year, but never ran: Read more
Quotees should be briefed before quoters
I just blogged about a company pre-launch because the news wasn't actually embargoed (their website was up) and the press was asking me for comment. Those details are unusual, but I'd guess that the majority of quotes I give to the press are about news I haven't been briefed on.
When news is minor enough, that's unavoidable. But in this case and others I would have willingly been briefed (scheduling just got a bit awkward this time). The two lessons here are:
- Brief the people who will be called for quotes before you brief the press, and therefore …
- … know who the press is likely to ask for quotes.
Public and analyst relations: An example of epic fail
I post from time to time about stupid PR tricks, but last night I had an experience that was a whole different level of appalling, for reasons of ethics and general incompetence alike. Within hours, the vendor's CEO had emailed me that the offending PR person would be terminated this morning.*
*By the way, that means an intriguing New England startup needs a new PR firm. By tomorrow it should be obvious who I mean.
It started as an ordinary kind of bad pitch. The PR rep emailed offering a briefing with a mystery company. I immediately deduced that the company was one I was in fact set up to talk with today, and had indeed been writing about since 2009. Besides being annoyed that I'd had to scramble to set up my own last-moment briefing with a company I'd led the way in writing about, I also bristled at the fact that the pitch included quotes from a couple of my competitors, whom I shall unimaginatively refer to as Dave and Merv.* So far, no big deal.
*Both personally and professionally, they're two of my favorites. Even so, I dislike being told that I should use them as authority figures to be copied in my own view formation.
But then it occurred to me that those quotes probably weren't approved, but instead were just lifted in an unauthorized manner from conversations, and indeed probably didn't reflect the analysts' precise views. So I messaged Dave and Merv. Shortly thereafter, the PR rep emailed me:
Neither David or Merv have authorized the quote for publication. It was sent in error to you, as I had believed you had agreed to the sharing of confidential information.
The bulk of my response to that — and the essence of this post — was: Read more

Quotes from analysts in vendor press releases
For the second straight post, I'm mixing the general and the personal. Sorry!
I jumped into an #ARchat on Twitter Tuesday, and set off a discussion about the subject of analyst quotes in press releases. Since that chat has been blogged, starting with a partly accurate* paraphrase of my views, I figure I may as well state those myself. Read more

Money, analyst attention, and implied analyst endorsement
This was and is meant to be a generally-applicable post. It just turns out to be laced with examples from my own experiences. I hope those aren't too distracting from the broader points.
It is widely believed among analyst relations professionals that one should engage the services of the analysts most influential in one's industry, in the hope that the analysts one pays will speak well of one's company, publicly or privately as the case may be. Thus, the best way for an analyst to make money is:
- Become influential in the industry s/he covers.
- Say nice things about the companies in it, especially the ones with larger budgets.

No Letting Go
Samhain Publishing
Man-Maid, Book 2 The moment Jason Kershaw spots former schoolmate Emma Ryan waitressing at the local pizza place, he decides it's time to catch up on old times. Trouble is, the pretty, sharp-witted brunette wants nothing to do with him. With his new business venture, Man-Maid Cleaning Service, off to a successful start, Jason's not used to being turned down over and over again. But he's not going to let that stop him from trying to chisel through her armor. Emma lusted after the bad boy back in high school, but at a hundred pounds overweight, she was pretty much invisible to popular guys like him. Hard work and determination helped her shed the extra weight—as well as the vulnerable teenager she used to be. With a business to get off the ground and no desire to let another man toss her aside like yesterday's trash, charmers like Jason are off her menu. Except the easygoing boy she remembers has become a stubborn, downright mouthwatering man. And Emma's starving for a taste.

Grand Junction High School's former athletic director accused of attempted internet luring of a child and attempted enticement is set to enter a plea later this month.
Johnny Walker was arrested April 19th on a warrant for having sexually explicit online chats with someone posing as a 14–year–old girl. Two felony charges against Walker have already been dropped because he wasn't actually talking to a child. Walker's attorney wants all the charges dropped, but the district attorney's office says no.

text: Hello. I'm just wondering how many cubic feet of gaseous hydrogen are in one gallon of liquid hydrogen. I know I'm not being too specific and that many variables are involved (temperature, atmospheric pressure... etc), but approximately how many are in a gallon? And yes, I have checked Google. I have found nothing useful. I wish to perform small scale experiments with hydrogen as a lifting gas in small balloons, in case you're curious. Sorry for not using metric, I'm used to U.S. Thank you!

Does anyone know of a way to use query_posts to pull only posts marked as "Sticky" using the new sticky feature in 2.7?
Does anyone know of a way to use query_posts to pull only posts marked as "Sticky" using the new sticky feature in 2.7?
I think this should do it:
does get_option('sticky_posts') return a comma separated list of all posts that have the sticky option selected?
Nevermind ... it seems like it returns an array of Post IDs for posts that have been marked sticky.
This new feature needs some serious documentation. The possibilities of the sticky options are much greater than just "sticking a post to the homepage".
Thank you Otto42, it worked :-)
Thank you Otto42, I've got that example working to fetch only sticky post.
Now, on the same page (in a different loop), I'd like to fetch posts that are NOT sticky. So, I'd like to exclude those marked as sticky.
My front page has a feature box at the very top that I'd like to designate as the sticky spot, and then, I have separate blocks for the posts within each category. Right now, the sticky-spot is working great, thanks to your suggestion, but I can't figure out a way to exclude sticky posts from the others.
Specifically, I have code that looks somewhat like this:
<?php query_posts('showposts=3&cat=6'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
... stuff ...
<?php endwhile; ?>
I'm wondering how I can modify my query_posts so that I can exclude those marked as sticky
I'm wondering how I can modify my query_posts so that I can exclude those marked as sticky
The Excluding Sticky Posts from Custom Queries section of Migrating Plugins and Themes to 2.7 explains that you just need to add
caller_get_posts=1 to your query string.
oh man, this looks like a lot of new, cool functions to diddle with *sigh*
My understanding of "caller_get_posts=1" means that it still fetches ALL posts with the category, it just doesn't bring the sticky to the top.
So, if I have ...
<?php query_posts('caller_get_posts=1&showposts=3&cat=6'); ?>
... it will still bring back the sticky posts.
So, it sounds like that's the fix for me, but it's really not.
lairdf might have to resort to the is_sticky conditional tag.
Thank you MichaelH, I'll definitely try!
lairdf, did you figure it out? I'm trying to do the exact same thing. can't get a query returned that excludes the sticky posts.
I am working on a new site and wanted to use the new sticky function to create a highlight area ("Items to watch"). Otto's solution works great to pull the sticky posts out, but if there are no sticky posts, it is returning the regular stream of posts and spits out the number of them defined in the settings panel.
anyone have a way to degrade something like this in case there are no posts specified as sticky?
I used:
"post__not_in" => get_option("sticky_posts")
to get rid of all the sticky posts in the loop. Strange that it's not in the documentation. Worked for me, hope it works for you too :)
Incorporated some of the ideas from this thread into:
The possibilities of the sticky options are much greater than just "sticking a post to the homepage".
If you have more examples or ideas, please add them to the Codex and thanks for doing so.
wprabbit: Did you solve your issue?
I have the same problem: if there's no sticky post the loop is returning 10 regular posts.
Sometimes asking a question is just what it takes to solve the problem.
if (get_option('sticky_posts')) {
// Do this if there is any sticky post.
else {
// Do this if there isnt.
Thanks a lot, this help me !
thank you jordiromkema and nathan!
nathan's definite guide to sticky posts has been invaluable, and jordironmkema, the post_not_in code elegantly replaces a hacked block of code.
I'm having a different problem, using Atahualpa, where I have query_posts to include only one category on homepage:
if (is_home()) {
but when I use that, the formatting I've applied to sticky posts disappears. Atahualpa folks say it's not their issue. Any thoughts?
I'm bumping this.
I want to use the loop as I usually would, except I'm using query_posts to get the posts from a specific category. How can I use query_posts and still get the sticky posts at the top?
"post__not_in" => get_option("sticky_posts")
I've used this solution but it's not working for me. I'm using it in the second loop in my home.php file, which is preceded by wp_reset_query().
The first loop uses this wp_query:
The second uses:
But I see the same (sticky) post as the first post produced by both loops. In date order it would be the third post.
Any idea why this wouldn't work?
This topic has been closed to new replies.

One of the reasons Tony Womack is here has to be because of his defense (I hope considering his offensive abilities). But yesterday it sounded like had no idea what he was doing out there. He couldn't reach playable balls and dropped a catchable soft-line-drive (this is all according to Marty and Joe who were very upset about his play). Then I go to the Enquirer web site to see pictures and I see this from a run-down play.
I know it is only March 6. But these are plays that have to be made. Hopefully he turns it around soon or Freel is starting.
