The image is not quite what I'd envisioned, but with just 4 shots and no test I don't think we did too badly and it's a great personal image for us, the memories it will bring when we're old!
Image theft will not be tolerated.
Cheers! Patrick
As always, you do an unbelievably good job.
It's a beautiful shot. The wind-whipped hair in your face really sells the conditions.
Thanks so much. x
I agree with what others have said, truly awesome. Again, a real winner here. Bless you for daring the cold, in those conditions, frostbite of bare skin can happen fast and I'm glad neither of you were hurt seriously by the extreme cold. Personally as a photographer, I would not have done it, I just can't ask a model to be so exposed in such extreme cold. I'm not judging by any means, I just could not have done it. I love doing photography and will do a lot to get the shot, but I just can't put a model at risk.
You both are very brave souls and deliver awesome works together and I applaud you both for your commitment to your art and yes, what a story that image will bring to you both in years to come. The memory will always be priceless.
It does look cold!!! That's the hard work of a model! Going the extra mile!
How long did it take you to warm up???

I've been spending a lot of time reading about how to change code for various reasons under 'appearance; editor,' and I understand how to get there and use the links on the right to find the right section of code. The problem is, every time I make changes and then hit the "update file" button, it reverts back to what it was originally.
Someone else created the site, and I am now editing it. I'm not trying to change style (for the most part, although going into the style sheet and making the body text bigger is also not working, for the same reason), just content that someone else originally entered. I've checked permissions and my computer is the "owner" and has total permission for everything from what I can tell. There's also no message that "this would be writable if you had permission to write it" or anything to indicate I'm going about it wrong. It just updates/refreshes the page and my changes have simply reverted back to what they were before.
Clearly this is going to be simple to fix because there's no way not being able to edit these things is a common problem - that just wouldn't fly. But I've seriously spent a lot of time trying to figure it out by reading past forum pasts and other help documents, and I haven't found anything that works yet. So help, please.

I Had to Say Something: The Art of Ted Haggard's Fall (Hardcover)
This is the story of the sexual relationship between Michael Forest Jones, a Denver man who worked as an escort, and the Reverend Ted Haggard, founder and pastor of the New Life Church of Colorado Springs.
As a rule, Mike never delved into the personal lives of his clients. He entertained celebrities, clergyman, politicians, pro-football players, and just regular guys. In 2003, a man named "Art" called Mike to set up an appointment. For almost three years, Art came to see him at least once a month. It was simply a business relationship for Mike, yet he sensed that for Art, it was more. Like many clients who were closeted, Art revealed his vulnerabilities as he struggled to deny his true desire for sexual contact and affection with a man.
One day, while working out at his gym, Mike recognized "Art" preaching hate on a religious cable channel. He soon discovered that Art was actually the Reverend Ted Haggard, who, as President of the National Association of Evangelicals, influenced the daily lives of millions of believers, condemning homosexuality and advocating virulently against gay rights and same-sex unions.
On November 1, 2006, Mike made public his relationship with Ted Haggard. Within days, Haggard resigned from all his positions of power, admitting to a "sexual immorality" that shook the evangelical world, right before Election Day 2006. Once Haggard was outed, Mike's clients stopped calling. He had effectively put himself out of business and put himself at risk of being trivialized and dismissed, as sex workers often are. It was Mike's courage and strength of conscience that ultimately led him to come forward about the hypocrisy of Haggard's life.
Here is the disarming story of how one man's deceit inspired another man to become a spokesperson for telling the truth and for not being ashamed of who you are.

I can't say enough great things about this place! Amazing service! Amazing weed!!! Amazing loyalty specials!! I've been to a lot of places, but have stuck to the Station and won't go anywhere else. Its a little bit of a drive for me but amazingly worth it!!!!
Great experience! I look forward to visiting the Station again soon!
The Station is by far the best ganja dispensary in Boulder! I was on assignment in Boulder for over 2 months and out of curiosity checked out all the Boulder dispensaries: none came close. The Station has the largest selection of buds and the most friendly and knowledgeable Budtenders that treat you with nuff respect.
I heard from a friend that the selection at The Station was large and the quality speaks for itself. I was in Boulder and decided to drop in. I was greeted by happy faces and was told to go in and feel free to enjoy the smells! I was so impressed that they just allow you to pick up the jars and smell the different strains! Yum!! The variety is amazing! I was impressed with the many many many strains they carry and with how knowledgeable the staff is! The staff is full of energy and personality! The atmosphere was so chill and relaxed! I am not just a number to The Station and I will make an effort to be back as often as I can! P.S. THEY KNOW HOW TO GROW!! Wow!!!!
I have been going to The Station for almost 6 months and I have NEVER seen a dispensary with more variety of super high quality ganja. On the recreational side they had at least 20 awesome strains to choose from and they assured me I would have a larger selection when I get my medicinal red card. The atmosphere makes me feel at home and very comfortable. I have been smoking weed for over a decade and this is my dispensary of choice; I love this place!

I would like to change the layout of the mobile menu only. Not the tablet or browser menu. Is this possible? If so, a few pointers would be great!
I would like to change the layout of the mobile menu only. Not the tablet or browser menu. Is this possible? If so, a few pointers would be great!
Yes, you'll need to look into the CSS for the theme and make the changes in the child-theme. Lots of tutorials for child themes on WordPress.org
I have a child theme set up and have made a bunch of edits already. I'm just not sure what to edit to accomplish my goal.
I specifically would like to move the menu down a few lines and replace it, so it is at the left side of the screen. Is there anyone who may be able to give me a few pointers on what to edit?
How familiar are you with CSS, do you know how to position stuff with CSS already and just want to know which CSS selectors to target?
I know a little bit and have been successful making other edits. But I am definitely a beginner so as much info as you can provide is helpful. Thanks
Is this what you want http://snag.gy/gzbjP.jpg ?
At the bottom of your Child Theme style.css file add this:
@media only screen and (max-width : 320px) {
.site-navigation {
clear: left;
margin-top: 1em;
.site-navigation { float: left; }
I tried that.. it didn't do anything.
Could you link the webpage in question?
I can't see where you added the CSS, but you have a syntax error near the bottom of your stylesheet, here:
#masthead img {
float: right;
max-height: 75px;
width: auto;
You need to close off that style.
That worked. Thanks for noticing. It did create another situation tho. the circles are no longer in pairs going strait down. Where should i change this?
Could you link the page with that issue?
I think you're mixing 2 threads up.
The above link is the page that I am having the mobile issue with. Once I adjusted the menu placement, the post circles on the above link got all wacky. They use to have 3 rows of 2 posts now they have 2 rows of 4 posts.
I found the issue. I had to remove the #page attributes. Thanks for your help!! I really Appreciate it. I still have another question on my other thread if you have a second.

Quote:There is actually a small triangle of three pressure points behind the knee. They are on the urinary bladder meridian and are numbered either 38-39-40 or 52-53-54. Most martial artists use 52-53-54 because this numbering scheme better fits our needs but if you find a book numbering them the other way, you'll know to expect this.They are great points. They give you nice leverage. Everybody knows you can make the knee bend with a good straight in or in and down kick into the space behind the knee. Your teacher was expecting it and braced for it. The green belt was probably not hitting striking, whatever he was doing, with good intent and he couldn't overcome the mental physical preparation your teacher put into his anticipation would be my guess.It is hard to hit the back of the knee without activating these points and so you don't really get to play with what it would be like to bend the knee without them. The leverage is obvious. It is a hinge joint and you are kicking the back of the hinge. I'd have to say it isn't the best point in the world to demonstrate the joint manipulation possibilities of pressure points.Personally I use them. A hook kick with the heel going into them is nice. It is a good place to yank with the handle of a tonfa or trip someone with an escrima stick threaded on these points on one leg and in front of the other. On the ground from in front of the leg, I pull on them with my wrists or forearms while using counter pressure above or below the knee depending on where I am.Play with them a bit. Get familiar with what they can do for you.

Angel to the Rescue
Angel to the Rescue
The faith of two young girls teaches their mothers that God can be relied upon.
A Point of Grace concert was a delightful way to end a fun day at the Iowa State Fair. My sister Connie and I, along with our ten-year-old daughters, made the three-hour trip early that morning so we could enjoy a full day of attractions, rides, fried food and gazing at the famous cow sculpture made of butter.
The hot, sunny weather, typical for Iowa in August, made our day even better. We left the fair tired but content at about eleven that night. It was sprinkling when we left and soon rain fell steadily. Heavy rains developed into a thunderstorm shortly after we began our trip home, yet our mood remained light as we belted out tunes from the concert and listened to the girls' excited chatter in the backseat of the van.
Thirty minutes into the trip, the van started to wobble and vibrate. Connie pulled on to the side of the highway. "I think we have a flat."
"What are we going to do?" I watched the rain pelt the windshield. "Do you know how to fix a flat?"
The van quivered as an eighteen-wheeler whizzed by, a reminder that we were a few feet from Interstate 80.
"I don't have any idea where the spare and jack are stored. I didn't expect problems with a new van," Connie said.
We considered our predicament. Flat tire. No cell phones. Pouring rain. No nearby buildings. Two young girls in the backseat. Pitch black, except for the occasional flash of lightning and the lights in our van. Sparse traffic other than the semis zooming past us on the Interstate. "What are we going to do?" I asked again, this time an octave higher and a decibel louder.
"I don't know."
Connie and I stepped outside the van, hoping a plan would come to us as we opened the back of the van and searched for the spare tire. A man walked toward us. He seemed oblivious to the rain.
"Where'd he come from?" Connie asked in a hushed voice.
"I don't know." For miles, we hadn't seen car headlights in front of us or behind us. Our van was the only vehicle on the side of the road.
"Can I help you?" the man asked when he came close.
I can't explain it, but something about his pleasant voice, and perhaps the way he walked, made me feel safe. He wore a white T shirt and was probably in his late twenties.
"We need help," I said. "We have a flat tire—"
"But we don't know where the spare tire is," Connie said.
"That's okay. I'm familiar with this van." He smiled and said, "Don't worry. I know where things are, and I can take care of it."
I thought it strange that he would know about this van, especially since it was new, but I didn't argue.
Despite the rain, he changed the tire and put the flat one in the back of the van. "Is there anything else I can do for you?" he asked.
"No, we're fine now." Connie opened the driver's side door, scrambled to find her purse, and pulled out a twenty-dollar bill. "Thank you so much for your help." She held out the money.
"That's all right. Glad to do it."
Connie insisted, but he shook his head. "If there's nothing else I can do, and you're sure you're okay, I'll be on my way." He waved and walked back the way he had come, from behind our van. We yelled good-bye and thanked him several more times. Then I could no longer see him. "He seems to have disappeared as quickly as he appeared," I said.
"He can't just walk in this horrible rain," Connie said. "But I didn't see any headlights or taillights."
"I didn't hear a door open or close," I said.

Paranoid Penguin - Secure Mail with LDAP and IMAP, Part II
In the first part of this series on using LDAP with the Cyrus IMAP mail delivery server (LJ, November 2003), we got as far as installing and setting up Cyrus IMAP and Cyrus SASL. In this article, we add some users to Cyrus IMAP and configure Postfix to deliver mail to the Cyrus IMAP server.
Before we dive back in to Cyrus IMAP configuration and administration, a note about documentation. Cyrus IMAP comes with an administrator's manual in HTML format. In the SuSE distribution, the manual is in /usr/share/doc/packages/cyrus-imapd/doc, and in Simon Matter's Red Hat SRPM distribution (see Part I of this article) it's in /usr/share/doc/cyrus-imapd-2.1.12. The link misleadingly labeled Installation actually leads not only to Cyrus installation instructions but to configuration and administration instructions as well. Besides this documentation, several man pages also are included with Cyrus IMAP, most notably imapd.conf(5), imapd(8) and cyradm(1).
In addition to Cyrus IMAP's included documentation, I recommend the book Managing IMAP by Dianna and Kevin Mullet (O'Reilly & Associates, 2000). As far as I know, it's the only book dedicated to IMAP. Although its coverage of Cyrus IMAP doesn't extend to LDAP, it's a well-written book that clearly explains IMAP concepts and Cyrus IMAP administration; it also covers UW-IMAP in some detail.
Cyrus IMAP comes with a Perl script, cyradmn, that provides the most convenient way to create and manage user mailboxes. You should understand several things before using cyradm. First, you should run cyradm from any account with which you also read e-mail. In other words, you never should use an IMAP administrative account as an e-mail account. Due to unusual write-access permissions, using such accounts to read or send e-mail can have strange negative effects on your server. As we learned last time, Cyrus administrative accounts are named according to the variable admins in /etc/imapd.conf.
Second, cyradm uses the same authentication method as does the rest of Cyrus IMAP. In my previous column, we determined this by setting /etc/imapd.conf's variable sasl_pwcheck_method to saslauthd and by editing /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd to use either LDAP or, in the case of SuSE, to use PAM. PAM itself can be configured to use LDAP for IMAP transactions in the files /etc/pam.d/imap and /etc/openldap/ldap.conf. In short, cyradm identifies and authenticates administrative users with LDAP, assuming you've correctly configured LDAP support in Cyrus IMAP, as described last time.
Finally, to authenticate, cyradm performs an LDAP auth lookup against your user name and password, using the LDAP attribute UID as the search criterion. For each user account you want to allow to run cyradm, therefore, the LDAP record needs to contain definitions for both UID and userPassword. UID is a required attribute and userPassword is an allowed attribute in the posixAccount Object Class, so all IMAP user accounts need to be associated with posixAccount.
This last point has another important ramification: in your OpenLDAP server's /etc/openldap/slapd.conf file, you need to have access control list (ACL) statements granting auth access to the userPassword attribute for whatever LDAP user your IMAP server (or its saslauthd process) uses to bind to the LDAP server (that is, to perform authentications). LDAP ACL statements are described in the slapd.conf(5) man page and in my article "Authenticate with LDAP, Part III" (LJ, September 2003).
cyradm usually is run as an administrative shell rather than as a command, per se. When you invoke cyradm, supplying your user name plus the host you wish to administer, it prompts you for a password. On successful authentication, it begins an interactive session with its own commands and help screen. cyradm also can be run non-interactively; see the cyradm(1) man page for information on using cyradm for scripting.
The simplest invocation of cyradm is:
bash-$> cyradm --user username hostname
If you're running cyradm on the same host on which Cyrus IMAP is running, you can use the hostname localhost. If the server you want to administer is a remote host, however, specify its hostname or IP address. By default, cyradm attempts to connect to it over TCP port 143. Because Cyrus IMAP uses this port for clear-text communication, use the --port option to specify TCP port 993 for TLS-encrypted communications instead, like this: --port 993. Personally, in such situations I find it simplest to connect to my remote IMAP servers with SSH and then run cyradm locally on the remote host using my SSH session.
Suppose I want to run cyradm locally on my IMAP server and my admin account is called mick_admin. The command would look like this:
bash-$ cyradm -u mick_admin localhost IMAP Password: ********** localhost>

It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

Lake Geneva News
A tourist feeling
Restaurants may soon serve food outside
Lisa Seiser

January 11, 2012 | 07:48 AM
It has long been prohibited for businesses, typically restaurants, in downtown Lake Geneva to place tables and chairs on the public sidewalks in front of their buildings to serve food outside.
Second District Alderman Tom Hartz wants to see that restriction lifted and allow downtown restaurants to take advantage of Lake Geneva's tourist feel.
During the Jan. 3 Committee of the Whole meeting, Hartz, the owner of Simple Cafe, presented a slideshow showing photos of different sidewalk cafe styles and layouts.
On Monday night, the council moved through a first reading of the amended ordinance that would allow restaurants to serve on the city's sidewalks. The second reading is expected at the Jan. 23 council meeting.

"The Master Plan talks about bringing more life to the downtown," Hartz said Jan. 3. "Allowing restaurants to do this in certain instances would bring more life into town."
At Simple Cafe there is an outdoor eating area, but it is off of the sidewalk and adjoins to the side of the building.
"This adds more interest and is a way to make the Lake Geneva downtown more exciting," Hartz said.
According to current ordinance, "no person shall carry on any trade or business, nor encroach upon or obstruct or encumber any street, alley, sidewalk, public grounds or land dedicated to public use, or any part thereof, or permit such encroachment or encumbrance to be placed or remain on any public way adjoining the premises of which he is the owner or occupant ..."
The new exception to that ordinance states, "the use of sidewalks for restaurant tables shall only be permitted incidental to the operation of a restaurant which is contiguous to the sidewalk and within the side property lines ..."
A permit would be necessary and there would be a few conditions, including tables not be located within 5 feet of the curb line, bollards should be located at either end and along the street edge of the seating area and the restaurant applicant must meet all other existing requirements to be given a permit to place tables on the sidewalk.
Also, the restaurant area should not reduce the open portion of any sidewalk to less than 5 feet and no alcohol shall be served or consumed at any table located on the sidewalk. Tables, chairs and other items also are expected to be taken inside or stored overnight and during the winter months.
Added to the ordinance since the Jan. 3 meeting were the permit fees. Each applicant will pay $15 per chair and the permit is valid from May 1 to Oct. 31 each year. According to the proposed ordinance, the permit "is a privilege and not a right" and may be revoked at any time for any reason in the sole discretion of the city.
First District Alderwoman Ellyn Kehoe said she believes this is a good idea and would like to try it.
But there were concerns about what businesses could use the sidewalk cafe permit because of the sidewalk width requirements.
Fourth District Alderman Frank Marsala, who operates the American Legion food stand near the Lake Geneva Library raised some of the same questions he did on Jan. 3.
"How many businesses are going to be able to meet those specifications?"he asked. "I guess I should have gone out and done some measurements."
First District Alderman Todd Krause said he had two concerns — pedestrian traffic and enforcement.
"It may be difficult to have traffic function properly," he said. "I am not convinced this will work, but I'd like to be proven wrong."
Fourth District Alderman Terry O'Neill said he would like to permit alcohol be served during the daylight hours and restrict it after 9 p.m.
Third District Alderman Bill Mott cautioned the council about having too many restrictions on the restaurants.
"We wonder why it takes so long to get things done," Mott said. "We are nitpicking so much. Let's allow some creativity for these people."
O'Neill said the discussion and talking about the details will avoid problems later.
Mayor Jim Connors pointed out the aldermen will have another crack at the ordinance at the Jan. 23 meeting.
"You have two weeks for tape measure patrol," he said, joking.
"This has come up before and I always thought it was a great idea," Marsala said Jan. 3. "This is a summer resort town and it's a plus."
The second reading and vote is expected on the ordinance at the Jan. 23 meeting.

Tooth Fillings
Tooth fillings are a procedure by which we can repair a tooth that has a decayed or damaged part. By removing the decayed, cracked, or otherwise damaged portion we can then fill the material with an aesthetically matching material, and your tooth is as good as new.
The best type of filling is colored and matching the natural color of the tooth. These are called composites, and not only do they blend in beautifully with the natural tooth, but they restore the original shape of the tooth and reinforce the strength and structure.
The procedure for placing the old metal fillings required dentist to remove a lot of the natural tooth structure, removing more than just the decay, and even removing healthy tooth. Because of the way they were placed, they actually weakened the structure of the tooth over time. Early signs of metal filling failure include fractures in the tooth, leaking around the filling, chipping, and breakage.

Yesterday, during the morning of July 30th, 2,000 acres of Marina Kue were occupied again by a hundred farmers, demanding that the state give the land as part of land reform. They are located in the district of Yby Pytá, department of Canindeyú. This territory was protagonist of the Slaughter of Curuguaty, where 11 farmers and 6 policemen were killed in June 2012, and led a week later to an institutional coup against Fernando Lugo. In addition, they demand that charges be dropped and the peasants detained be release due to the clashes in Curuguaty.
There are about 200 police officers on site, including elite troops, under the direction of the zonal police chief, Atilio Ferreira, and representatives of the Paraguayan justice, but without any order or court document.

At a time when the debate over resources and land worsens in Mozambique, more than 30 civil society organizations commit to the increment of joint actions and extending their articulation in the defence of natural resources and against the privatization of land.
Peasant movements, men and women, feminists, students, human rights activists, environmentalists, labour unionists and workers, fishermen and communities affected by the impacts of large investments, consider the land and natural resources issue, and its defence, to be crucial. These organizations will launch a nationwide campaign against the privatization of land, theft and looting of all natural resources in Mozambique.

Contribution of the European Coordination Via Campesina to the Open-ended intergovernmental working group on a United Nations declaration on the rights of peasants and other people working in rural areas.
The CAP, a European specificity
(Geneva, July 15, 2013) The European Union has the distinction of having over 50 years of a strong Common Agriculture Policy. Implemented in the 60s, it was initially meant to ensure food bself-sufficiency of the people. This was achieved by ensuring to farmers remunerative prices for the main products, by protecting the domestic market. This pricing policy was accompanied by a modernization of agriculture, with restructuring and facilities for older farmers to leave the land to younger farmers.
The principles of this policy have changed dramatically in the 90s with the creation of the WTO, globalization and the implementation of neo-liberal policies. Prices should be aligned with world prices and thus provide the food industry with cheap raw materials.

AOC Bordeaux L'Ecuyer de Couronneau
Gold Medal at Millésime Bio 2013 (2011 vintage)
Chateau Couronneau
The enthusiasm of Bénédicte and Christophe Piat, owners of this estate, is positively infectious. In the years since they bought the property, they have won gold medals aplenty, received glowing reviews from Robert Parker and countless other recommendations in wine publications at home and abroad for their fruit-driven, supple wines. Located at the highest point of the Gironde, the estate's chalky clay soil rests on top of steep chalky substratum – perfect for the merlot grape, which thrives in these conditions.

What Happened to Hockeytown?
DETROIT -- After a dozen years of serving as the signature of the Motor City's sports fever, Hockeytown appears to have caught a cold.
First conceived in 1996 as a marketing slogan aimed at revving up Detroit Red Wings fans starving for a Stanley Cup, Hockeytown evolved into part of the hardscrabble city's identity. Along the way, the team collected three championships. But after a generation of sellouts, the franchise is struggling to re-establish itself.
Even though their team posted the National Hockey League's best regular-season record in 2007-08 and needs one win to reach the Stanley Cup Finals, die-hard fans like Curt Catallo are staying away. Mr. Catallo has been taking in Detroit Red Wings hockey games for most of his life from third-row seats at Joe Louis Arena, and his presence there during past playoff runs was a given. But this year, although his team is on a tear, Red Wings tickets have gotten too expensive for him.
For the second round of the playoffs, Mr. Catallo's family's six seats were priced at $215 apiece, up from the regular season price of $85. The total cost for one second-round game: $1,290, not including parking, beer or hot dogs.
"For that price, I could buy a big, flat-screen TV, some popcorn and watch the game at home," the 40-year old restaurateur and advertising executive said. "By the middle of the third period, the TV would pay for itself."
For the cost of just two playoff games, he adds, "I could take my wife and kids to Disney World."
So far the Wings have played nine home games in the post season, and Mr. Catallo hasn't bought tickets to a single one. He's not alone, either. With conference finals tickets starting at $75, the Wings have struggled to sell out Joe Louis Arena. At their last home game – a riveting 2-1 win Saturday over the Dallas Stars – swaths of red seats remained empty throughout the arena. Blocks of four tickets could be purchased online three hours before Game 2; blocks of 10 could be had before Game 1. Outside the arena, scalpers peddled tickets below face value.
When Hockeytown was founded, this was all unthinkable. And, given the team's chances for winning another Cup, it's a bit enigmatic. Nicklas Lidstrom, the team's captain, says this is the best team he's seen since the Red Wings won consecutive Cups a decade ago.
But there are many differences between now and then.
The tepid turnout is a reflection of both Michigan's sagging economy and the tough battle the NHL faces for fans. The Detroit area has been hit hard in the past few years as the Big Three auto makers and their suppliers slashed tens of thousands of jobs. The region ranks near the top in home foreclosures, too. Detroit's entertainment dollar is "severely stretched," says Comerica Bank chief economist Dana Johnson.
"With the way things are around here in the economy, people – even my friends – don't go to as many games as they used to," Red Wings goaltender Chris Osgood said following the team's win Thursday night. "But the bars are packed."
Fans looking to tighten their belts also have plenty of sports alternatives. The Pistons of the National Basketball Association are deep in the playoffs and fans are flocking to see the Detroit Tigers after the baseball team picked up several stars this off-season.
In Joe Louis, meanwhile, a degree of malaise is on display.
As local singer Karen Newman began performing the national anthem, she noticed those vacant seats. Ms. Newman, in her 18th year performing the song at the arena, said of the recent ennui, "It never bothered me, per se, but it kind of bothered me for the organization, because I was like, 'What's with all the empty seats?'" The Red Wings also saw regular-season attendance drop nearly 6%, to an average of 18,912 fans, according to ESPN.com. That ranked them seventh in the NHL; they ranked second in 2006-07.
During Ms. Newman's Thursday performance, someone threw a dead octopus on the ice as she sang the words "land of the free." The eight-legged octopus serves as Hockeytown's mascot, dating to the 1950s, when it took eight playoff games to win the Stanley Cup. There was only one other octopus thrown that night, a paltry total compared to Hockeytown's heyday, when several such animals would land on the ice.
The organization is not sitting still. Unlike some other sports leagues, where enormous television and licensing contracts line owners' pockets, ticket sales remain the lifeblood for NHL organizations.
In November, the team hired Steve Violetta away from the Nashville Predators as a marketing executive. Mr. Violetta helped accelerate an initiative that included slashing some ticket prices, marketing more aggressively to families via group sales and other promotions – such as free lunch boxes – and hosting "dollar days," where a particular concession item costs only $1.
Late in the season, general manager Ken Holland signed Darren McCarty, a blue-collar player most popular for his willingness to fight during an earlier stint with the team. Mr. McCarty had been away from hockey prior to last fall and has battled substance abuse. Mr. Holland told Mr. McCarty's agent the forward would have to come back "clean-cut" and avoid becoming a "circus situation." The executive hoped Mr. McCarty would inspire enthusiasm.
Mr. Violetta said the moves are working, leading to sellouts late in the season and an uptick in playoff sales compared to last year.
Still, after years of success, it's hard to impress fans.
"I've seen them win a Cup, so I won't be totally disappointed if they don't win one this year," Bruce Anderson, a season-ticket holder for nearly 40 years, said.
Others suggest that Detroit hockey fans need to form bonds with the new players, often Europeans, who dominate the roster. Steve Yzerman, the team's longtime face, retired in 2006. Other well-known names like Brendan Shanahan now play in other cities. The stands are still flooded with fans wearing jerseys with the names of Mr. Yzerman and Mr. Shanahan on their backs.
Fans do appear to be warming to the new generation of Red Wings. Center Johan Franzen, for instance, is on a record-setting scoring pace in the playoffs. Veteran Kris Draper insists that Mr. Franzen, nicknamed "The Mule" for his gritty play, is custom-made for Detroit's blue-collar ethic. Others, including center Henrik Zetterberg, are slowly gaining recognition after spending years playing in Mr. Yzerman's shadow.
Mr. Osgood, the goalie, is on his second tour in Detroit and said that the team's problems pale in comparison to those faced by most towns.
Mr. Osgood is popular now, but he has not always been a hero here. The team cast him aside in 2001 for a more experienced goaltender. He signed with the New York Islanders and then St. Louis, returning to the Red Wings as a backup in 2005. As the current starter he knows that life at the top can be fleeting.
He hopes Red Wings fans understand that: "It might not last forever."

DMS Loses Challenge to $32 Billion Contract Held by McKesson
DMS Pharmaceutical Group Inc. lost a challenge to a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs decision to exclude small businesses from a drug supply contract valued at as much as $32 billion, according to a decision announced yesterday.
The closely held Park Ridge, Illinois company had filed a protest with the Government Accountability Office, which arbitrates contract disputes, after the VA canceled a plan to reserve some work in the contract for small businesses.
VA officials "reasonably determined" that DMS's bid was unacceptable because the company didn't meet several of the agency's requirements for the work, such as having an online inventory system, the GAO found.
"The evaluation of technical proposals is a matter within the discretion of the contracting agency, since the agency is responsible for defining its needs and the best method for accommodating them," the decision said. "An offeror's mere disagreement with the agency's judgment concerning the adequacy of the proposal is not sufficient to establish that the agency acted unreasonably."
Protests by DMS and another small drug wholesaler have delayed the award of the drug distribution contract, expected to have about the same value as the current contract held by McKesson Corp., or about $4 billion a year over as many as 8 years, according to the VA. Department officials won't award the new contract until both protests are resolved, Jo Schuda, a VA spokeswoman, said in a March 26 e-mail.
'Extremely Disappointed'
DMS officials "are extremely disappointed," Bill Anderson, executive vice president for the company, said in an e-mailed statement yesterday.
"Once again, it appears this $4+ billion contract will be awarded with zero small business participation," Anderson said. "This decision, under President Obama's watch, proves that Main Street continues to get overlooked to the benefit of Wall Street."
He said he remains hopeful the VA will find some way to increase work with small drug wholesalers in the upcoming contract.
PBA Health, a Kansas City, Missouri-based drug distributor, has also filed a protest on the contract, according to the GAO website. The GAO has until June 4 to rule on that protest.
Schuda and Josh Taylor, a VA spokesman, didn't respond to an e-mail and phone call seeking comment.
PBA Protest
The VA has asked the GAO to dismiss the protest from PBA Health, Ralph O. White, the GAO's managing associate general counsel, said in an interview today. He said that request would be shared with PBA Health and the company would be given an opportunity to respond before the GAO makes its decision.
McKesson has been the VA's primary medicine supplier for veterans' hospitals and the department's mail-order pharmacy since 2004. The largest U.S. drug distributor based on revenue, it has received as much as $27 billion in orders under the current contract, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The San Francisco-based company is competing against Dublin, Ohio-based Cardinal Health Inc. and AmerisourceBergen Corp., based in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania for the current version of the contract.
The Government Accountability Office, Congress's investigative arm, issues decisions that provide guidance to government agencies during contract disputes. It can't compel agencies to comply, though its guidance is rarely ignored.

One retrospective series addressed the value of performing a second TUR within 2 to 6 weeks of the first TUR.[9][Level of evidence: 3iiDiv] A second TUR performed on 38 patients with Tis or Ta disease revealed that nine patients (24%) had lamina propria invasion (T1) and three patients (8%) had muscle invasion (T2).[9]
Such information may change the definitive management options in these individuals. Patients with extensive multifocal recurrent disease and/or other unfavorable prognostic features require more aggressive forms of treatment.
Evidence (TUR with fulguration followed by immediate postoperative instillation of intravesical chemotherapy):
- A 2004 meta-analysis of seven randomized controlled trials (1,476 subjects with stage Ta or stage T1 bladder cancer) compared TUR alone with TUR followed by a single immediate intravesical instillation of chemotherapy.[7]
- The relapse rate for TUR alone was 48% and 37% for TUR plus intravesical chemotherapy (OR, 0.61; P < .0001). The risk of recurrence declined for patients with single (OR, 0.61) or multiple (OR, 0.44) tumors, but 65% of those with multiple tumors relapsed despite intravesical chemotherapy.
- Agents studied included epirubicin, mitomycin C (MMC), thiotepa, and pirarubicin.
- A subsequent multicenter randomized controlled trial confirmed the reduction in risk of recurrence. A 404-patient study reported a relapse rate of 51% for epirubicin immediately after TUR and a relapse rate of 63% for placebo immediately after TUR (P = .04). However, only small recurrences were prevented in this study, drawing into question the magnitude of benefit.[10]
- Similarly, another multicenter randomized controlled trial confirmed the reduction in risk of recurrence. A 305-patient study randomly assigned subjects to an instillation of epirubicin versus no further treatment after TUR and reported relapse rates of 62% with epirubicin and 77% in the control arm (P = .016).[8]
- The hazard ratio for recurrence was 0.56 (P = .002) with epirubicin. However, the main benefit was seen in patients at lower risk of relapse. Among patients at intermediate or high risk of relapse, the relapse rates were 81% with epirubicin versus 85% with no further treatment (P = .35).

For a few days my computer is having massive issues.
Sometimes when I push the open button, the screen remains black without receiving any signal. I know that this is not a graphics card problem since when it starts, the keyboard LEDs light up too, that doesn't happen when my screen is black.
I have two hard drives (WD,SG) the one (SG) doesn't show up in BIOS and when it was showing up and I had my OS (Windows or mint) installed, my OS was freezing after 10 minutes. My second hard drive (WD 500GB) shows up in BIOS but when I try to format it via
gpartedit throws errors about input/output.
Sometimes it freezes at the MSI logo screen (I suppose its doing the POST and freezes when is checking the SG harddrive).
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+
MEMORY: 1GB KingSton
What I have tried
- Using only one stick of RAM in any possible slot
- Reseting BIOS via removing the battery for 10 min
- Unplug power cable and push power button for 30 sec
- Booting without any hard drive in (to see if I will have black screen, I had)
The previous didn't fixed any of the problems
Possible problems
- My PSU is dying (its one of the possibilities cause I get problems in many compoments of the computer)
- My MB is dying (same as above)
Is there any way to test MB and PSU without having another PSU or MB or PC?
My MB doesn't have speaker so I don't hear beeps at all. Now I am in via an Ubuntu live-cd and I dont see any freezing.
Ok, yesterday i got my pc back from the service shop ... The problem? like i predicted it was PSU AND motherboard problem.The PSU went wrong and it burned(or whatever else is called) some of the capacitors in the motherboard.Both needed replace.

|"Skaar: Son of Hulk' #4 on sale this week
From the team-up fun of âThe Incredible Herculesâ to the wild, action-packed âSkaar: Son of Hulkâ to the contemplative âMagneto: Testament,â Greg Pak is writing a hugely diverse range of comics that have become surprise hits for fans and critics alike.
After completing the wildly successful âPlanet Hulkâ and âWorld War Hulk,â the Green Goliathâs ongoing series âThe Incredible Hulkâ morphed into âThe Incredible Hercules,â a high-energy, action-comedy book featuring the likes of Herc, Amadeus Cho and Ares. Fans expected the word âHulkâ to return to the title within a year and sales to drop like a stone, but neither have happened and the book has become one of Marvelâs most consistent sellers.
Prepare yourself for all the dirt on the Hulk-Herc transition from Pak himself, who also talks with REFLETIONS about what itâs like to work with co-writer Fred Van Lente, how fan-favorite character Athena was supposed to be dead as a doornail by now, how the Skaar has changed since Pak first envisioned him -- including original plans to put Skaar in a mask!
And of course, thereâs âWar Machine.â
CBR: Looking back over the almost five years since your break into comics, what do you think youâve learned the most as a writer? What are you still learning?
GREG PAK: In my first couple of years in comics, I was making the transition from screenwriting to comic book writing. The fundamentals of dramatic storytelling are the same for both media, but there are a slew of technical and structural differences that I needed to learn and internalize. I have a ton left to learnâevery day Iâm figuring out better ways to tell the stories Iâm trying to tell. But Iâve gained a lot more confidence in how to structure a comic book script and make everything work panel-to-panel and page-to-page.
|Pages from "Incredible Hercules" #122
One result of that growing comfort might be that itâs a little rarer for me now to specify the arrangements of panels on a page. In my earliest scripts, Iâd note âfirst row, left,â âfirst row, right,â âwide panel filling the second row,â etc., for just about every panel in the script (which probably drove some of my artists nuts). Iâll still do that sometimes for particularly complicated pages. But more often, Iâll just note ânice big panelâ or âsmall detail shotâ to indicate emphases, if necessary. So Iâve learned that I donât have to over-direct; if Iâm doing my job and telling the story compellingly, the artists will get all the nuances and lay out the pages brilliantly.
In retrospect, how do you feel about the work you did on âPlanet Hulkâ and âWorld War Hulk?â
Iâm pretty darn proud of those stories and canât be happier with the fan reaction. âPlanet Hulkâ in particular holds a special place in my heart. At the time, it was the first ongoing series Iâd nabbed and the biggest story Iâd had a chance to tell. Editor Mark Paniccia and I would meet almost every week to talk through storylines and character arcs and would sometimes just sit and grin at each other because of the ridiculous amount of fun we were having creating this world and spinning this tale. Everyone on the creative team seemed to feel that it was a special book and went above and beyond to make every page as strong as possible.
And then the first issue came outâand sold outâand the book continued to gain numbers throughout the run. I canât tell you how much I appreciate the readers, retailers, and reviewers for all their support on the book.
|Pages from "Incredible Hercules" #122
Are you still Marvel-exclusive?
Yes, although I have a few outside, creator-owned projects that Marvelâs been awesome about giving me permission to pursue. First up is a story called âRio Chinoâ for the âOutlaw Territoryâ Western anthology edited by Michael Woods that should be hitting stores fairly soon. Ian Kimâs doing the art for that. Heâs a great illustratorâI think this might be his first published comics work.
And Iâm contributing a story called âThe Citizenâ for the âSecret Identitiesâ Asian American comic book anthology thatâs coming out next year. Bernard Chang is drawing that story, and the pages look gorgeous.
Who is Hercules, and who does he want to become on his heroâs journey?
Hercules is a supremely powerful immortal with the heart of a regular dude. Iâd say heâs already become exactly who he wants to become. The problem is that his status as a god may force responsibilities on him that heâs not particularly ready to handle.
Letâs talk Namora. What makes this oddball couple work, both for "The Incredible Herculues" and for its characters?
|Pages from "Incredible Hercules" #122
Namora plays a huge role in our current âLove and Warâ story arc that began with issue #121. Sheâs a princess of Atlantis and has the same mind-blowing strength and fiery temperament of her cousin Namor. Sheâs a great foil for Hercules partly because she tends to be fierce while heâs funnyâthey can spend a lot of time just bugging each other in amusing ways. But more importantly, she shares his warrior spirit andâhow should we put thisâhis lust for life. In certain ways, Namora might be the most dangerous love interest Hercules has ever hadâin the sense that sheâs awesome enough that he might actually really fall for her.
Where did you find your âIncredible Herculesâ co-writer Fred Van Lente?
Iâd been angling to pitch a Renegades ongoing featuring the heroes who were crazy enough to side with the Hulk during âWorld War Hulk.â But I had a pretty full plate and Mark and his assistant editor Nate Cosby thought the scheduling might benefit from my having a co-writer. Nate suggested Fred.
Fred and I hit it off and put together a Renegades pitch, which Marvel didnât approve because they had a few too many team books already heading out the gate right around that time. But then the editors came back to us a couple of weeks later and asked if weâd like to do a buddy book with the two main Renegades, Amadeus Cho and Hercules. And we said, boy, would we!
|"Skaar: Son of Hulk" #4 on sale this week
Tell us about the process of collaborating with Van Lente to create an issue of âThe Incredible Hercules.â
Fred and I will sit down in a hamburger joint somewhere in New York and talk through the next story arc. Then weâll pitch it to our editors. Once itâs approved, one of us hammers out a page-by-page outline of the first issue and sends it to the other guy. The other guy edits, tweaks, sends it back. The first guy edits, tweaks, sends it back. And so on until weâre both happy. Then we send that to our editors. And when thatâs approved, we split up the script and start writing. Sometimes weâll split it right in half, with one of us writing the first eleven pages and the other guy writing the last eleven. Other times someone will take the beginning and end and the other guy will write the middle. Then we send each other our pages and edit and tweak each otherâs stuff until weâre both happy.
From the beginning, the whole process was a ton of fun. With any given script, weâve worked out the story together, so we know exactly whatâs going to happen. But each of us works in nuances and gags and whatnot that the other guy didnât expect. I canât tell you how many times Iâve laughed out loud while reading Fredâs stuff. Sometimes we go over the top, and the other guy has to tone things down a bit. But itâs that fun back-and-forth that lets us take the risks in the first place.
Then the extra bonus is that we catch each other. With fresh eyes, each of us can see nuances in the other guyâs pages that we can help refine or bring out. Itâs pretty awesome.
|Pages from "Skaar: Son of Hulk" #4
What has surprised you most about your time on the book?
From the beginning, the book felt special to me. But you never quite know how fans will react. So Iâve been thrilled by the reception fans have given the book throughout.
Whoâs your favorite supporting character?
Ares is a ton of fun to write, of course. Anyone with that much suppressed anger has an excellent chance of either turning into the most terrifying person in the roomâor making a total fool of himself. A blast to write either way.
But Athenaâs probably my favorite supporting character. Hereâs a fun, never before revealed factoid for you: Fred deserves huge kudos for pulling Athena on board and reimagining her as you see her today. But he wanted to kill her off around issue #117 or so. I convinced him she was too good to go and now sheâs a critical part of the epic storyline that underlies the entire series. So thanks, Fred, and youâre welcome!
âHercâ was obviously born out of a crossover, and you recently wrapped your âSecret Invasionâ arc on the title. How difficult was it to put the crossover into the book cohesively and still retain the feel of the book in the process?
Fred and I have a very clear plan for the big, overarching storylines of Hercules and Amadeus. Itâs a giant emotional tale that we planned out months ago. So it was surprisingly easy to work in the âSecret Invasionâ crossoverâsince we know our big themes and where weâre going with these characters, we can make all their adventures along the way fit into the big storyline.
|Pages from "Skaar: Son of Hulk" #4
Most observers were expecting the book to be âThe Incredible Hulkâ again by now, thinking sales would have taken a nosedive after a few months. Neither has happened, and the book is a huge critical and commercial success for Marvel. What about âHercâ clicks with the fans?
At the time we launched, Marvel didnât have a buddy book on the shelves. So weâve filled a kind of niche, playing with a fun dynamic in a way no other book was quite doing at the time. And Herc and Amadeus just have a certain chemistry. Itâs fun to see these guys getting each other into trouble. Also, I give huge props to Fred for suggesting that we incorporate Hercâs mythological past into the series as much as possible. Those flashback scenes give the book a special resonance and help us deepen his character with every issue.
Speaking of big successes, letâs talk âSkaar: Son of Hulk.â Sales are on fire for the first few issuesâwere you expecting such a breakaway success for the book?
I sure didnât expect three printings of the first issue. So thatâs been awesome. I give a huge amount of credit to Marvel Editor in Chief Joe Quesada, who plugged the book at every opportunityâthanks a ton, Joe! From the day I pitched âSkaarâ to Joe, he said he thought the book could do wellâas he put it, a crazy barbarian sci-fi story had a chance to âscratch an itchâ for Marvel fans who havenât seen this kind of tale for a while.
|Pages from "Skaar: Son of Hulk" #4
As far as I can tell, early issues of the book have outsold most of the âPlanet Hulkâ single-issue numbers, which is pretty tremendous for a sequel starring a brand new character. So, again, thanks to everyone whoâs reading the book!
How much has the character evolved from your first idea of him back when you created him in âWorld War Hulk?â
From the beginning, I knew that Skaar would be born in fire and raised by monsters before heading out into a savage world where society and government have been swept away by cataclysm and war. Thatâs all stayed the sameâas have the big themes of exploring what heroism means in a world gone mad. But there are some elements of Skaarâs look and personality that have evolved. Originally, I envisioned the adult Skaar roaming the deserts wearing a metal faceplate. Joe pretty reasonably pointed out that we might be able to identify with the character more if we could see his face. At one point, Iâd also toyed with the idea of Skaar as a more spiritual, mystic figureâsomeone who is consciously on a sort of dreamquest. But as we developed the book, I realized the richer dynamic would be for the people around Skaar to be pushing him on that dreamquestâwhile the savage Son of Hulk himself might have totally different motivations for doing what he does.
Why was Ron Garney the right guy for art duties?
I was wowed by Ronâs work on âIncredible Hulkâ back in the day and thought that his recent âWolverineâ run was absolutely gorgeous, so when his name come up as a possible artist for âSkaar,â I was thrilled. Ron has a great feel for wild, savage action, which has been perfect for the book.
|Also by Greg Pak, "Planet Hulk" and "World War Hulk" collected editions, on sale now
How do you feel about fan reaction to the first few issues?
The first three issues have been almost non-stop action, so itâs been a kick seeing new and old fans react to all the mayhem. As we move into the next few issues, the action continues apace, but weâre revealing more and more about Skaar, Old Sam, Omaka, the Old Power, and the big secrets of Prophet Rock, and itâs pretty cool to see fans getting excited as we delve deeper into these characters. And itâs particularly fun to see readers picking up on revelations to mysteries that we set up back during âPlanet Hulk.â
What else is coming up in âSkaar?â
The Silver Savage returns! The Silver Surferâs appearance on Planet Sakaar was one of the big surprises of the âPlanet Hulkâ run. Now the Silver Savage resurfaces in âSkaarâ #7. Dontcha dare miss it, True Believers!
In the meantime, weâre in for massive repercussions and revelations in issues #4, #5, and #6. Weâll learn the origin of Old Sam, find out just whatâs up with that Shadow Boy in the backup stories, and take several massive steps towards understanding Skaarâs true nature and character.
Letâs talk your upcoming series, âWar Machine,â which begins in December. What can you tell us?
|Also by Greg Pak, "Incredible Hercules: Against the World" collection on sale now, "Incredible Hercules: Secret Invasion" hardcover on sale this week
If youâve ever opened a newspaper and been shocked to the core by atrocities being committed across the globe that no power on Earth seems willing to stop, âWar Machineâ just might be the book for you. Weâll explore what happens when dictators and despots around the world, accustomed to literally getting away with murder, discover that Jim Rhodes has taken it upon his giant, rocket-launcher-armed shoulders to deal with them.
When you say global, how big will this book get?
Huge. Weâre on three different continents in the first two issues alone. And thereâs a giant emotional story as well. Iâll just say that Rhodeyâs first mission is intensely personal.
Tell us about the art team.
Leonardo Manco is delivering incredible pencils and inks and Jay David Ramos is burning down the house with his colors. When I saw Leoâs work on the âDeathlokâ book from a few years back, I knew heâd eat this book alive. He totally gets that combination of machinery and man, of hardware and heart.
But hey, why take my word for it? Check out the free preview of the eight-page âWar Machineâ intro story at Marvel.com!

The sign, which had been in place since October, was removed
letter by letter by volunteers on Saturday.
''It was a bit of a mission. It was well constructed,''
spokeswoman Francine Vella said.
The group had won its quest to the Environment Court for a
stay to keep the sign up on Quarantine Island's jetty in
Otago Harbour until May, but decided to remove the sign
''We are OK about doing this because the no-drill message
itself, we feel, has come to an end.''
Ms Vella said the sign had attracted support and had drawn no
negative reaction, apart from the Otago Regional Council
ordering it to be removed.
In January, the community was issued with an abatement notice
from the council to take down the sign, as it considered the
sign ''advertising''.
Both the Environment Court and the regional council had been
notified about the sign's removal.
''We will be looking at putting another message up, but
probably not on the jetty.''

Using WordPress 3.0.2 (not available in the dropdown yet, dear wordpress.org!), I regenerated all attached "thumbnails".
My functions.php contains:
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
set_post_thumbnail_size(63,63, true ); // post thumbnails - hard crop
add_image_size('my-post-thumbnail-image-full-view', 600,999, false ); // post thumbnails - scaled
But regenerating the thumbnails simply outputs "undefined" for all images, destroying all "thumbnail meta" stored in the database.
As a result, all images are displayed in their original size, not the 63x63 pixel size where applicable.
In other words: the plugin kills the thumbnails... good thing I had a recent database copy (SQL) which I could simply import again. Voila, the thumbs are there again.
Deleted the plugin since it's destructive instead useable.
Too bad - I used to hug this plugin.
Any hints on how to fix the plugin to do it's job like it used to without messing up the image meta in the database?
