2008-09 Team Preview: Ottawa Senators
Andre Ringuette/Getty Images
By Pierre LeBrunIf there's a team that needs to turn the page to a new season, it's the Ottawa Senators. After storming out of the gates last season and looking every bit the Cup contender, the team plummeted down the standings and barely got into the playoffs before being swept by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the opening round.
In between, there was talk of dressing room issues, led by the antics of former goalie Ray Emery, who since has exited to Russia. So yes, this is a team that desperately needs a fresh start.
"We've got a new coach [Craig Hartsburg], which always brings a new look and a bit of enthusiasm to everything," center Jason Spezza told ESPN.com. "We're putting our failures of last year behind us. We've got some new bodies in; we're looking forward."
GM Bryan Murray didn't sit idly by after his team's ugly finish. He brought in Hartsburg, a coach who won't let his players off the hook, and added veteran defenseman Jason Smith, who was a captain last season with the Flyers. He also added gritty winger Jarkko Ruutu, who had been a popular member of the Penguins and kept the room loose.
"I think Bryan wanted to bring in good people, guys that are hard to play against," Spezza said. "And playing against Jarkko Ruutu and Jason Smith -- that's an understatement; they're both really hard to play against and they both play really hard. Just bringing [Smith] into our leadership group in Ottawa I think will really help because of his experiences, and he's a guy who doesn't take a night off."

On the surface, this didn't look like an area of concern last season with the Sens leading the NHL with 258 goals. But there was a significant drop-off after the three-headed offensive machine of Spezza, Dany Heatley and captain Daniel Alfredsson. Secondary scoring was a huge issue. Hartsburg was attempting to find two scoring lines this season, keeping Alfredsson away from Heatley and Spezza. But after the trio spent significant ice time together during the preseason, the players were reunited on the top line on the eve of the team's season opener in Stockholm. It remains to be seen whether the line will be broken up again if times get tough. Getting career years from Mike Fisher and Antoine Vermette certainly would help the cause.
The blue line took a hit with the losses of Wade Redden and Andrej Meszaros. The Sens welcome Smith, Filip Kuba, Alexandre Picard and Brendan Bell to the group, but there's a loss in back-end offense here. Perhaps Bell will be a surprise; he is shifty and has shown offensive ability in the past. Picard also showed some in the AHL. Chris Phillips (one of the NHL's top shutdown guys), Anton Volchenkov, Christoph Schubert and Brian Lee round out a defensive corps that's not as deep as in years past.
Martin Gerber stole the No. 1 job from the troubled Emery last season, and while he had good stretches, he didn't completely erase doubt that he's a true NHL starter. His 2.72 GAA was 29th among NHL goalies, while his .910 save percentage was 20th. True, some of that can be attributed to a shaky team defense in front of him, but he enters the season needing to prove himself to many.
A clever signing might be Alex Auld, who was brought in to be the backup. He played some big games with the Vancouver Canucks before losing himself on a bad Florida Panthersteam the past two seasons. Keep an eye on him.
Pierre LeBrun covers the NHL for ESPN.com.
By Jay FeasterThe biggest improvement in Ottawa took place when the circus left town and signed in Russia. With all due respect to former net minder Ray Emery, the constant distraction and side-show drama negatively impacted the team and cost a very good coach his job. There is a new sheriff in town now, and you can expect Craig Hartsburg to establish discipline and control, both on and off the ice. GM Bryan Murray brought in quite a bit of sandpaper and grit this season, from the no-nonsense coach to agitator extraordinaire Jarkko Ruutu to heart-and-soul leader Jason Smith. They join Chris Neil, one of the most talented tough guys in the game today, and the always dangerous Mike Fisher, who plays well at both ends of the ice and isn't afraid to take (or give) a hit to make a play.
For this team to reach the promised land, it is time for Daniel Alfredsson, Dany Heatley and Jason Spezza to lead by example, not just in the regular season but, more importantly, during the playoffs. The trio combined for 115 goals last season, but failed to score a single goal in the postseason. The answers the Sens seek may be found within the four walls of the locker room; this time, the players shouldn't look to the changes behind the bench or in the manager's suite if the questions aren't answered correctly.
Jay Feaster served as general manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning from 2001-02 season before resigning last season. He is a contributor to ESPN.com.

• A new voice behind the bench was sorely needed for a team that at times lacked discipline last season. Hartsburg is back as an NHL coach after almost a decade in exile. During that time, he racked up wins like nobody's business in junior hockey, while also leading Canada to back-to-back gold medals at the 2007 and 2008 World Junior Championships.
He's got a big challenge in Ottawa, a team that appears to be fading from the contender role. He also must straighten out a dressing room whose character has been called into question. It's a tall task for Hartsburg.
STARTING FIVE ... AS WE SEE ITF -- Dany Heatley
• Entering his fourth season with the Sens. Has scored 141 post-lockout goals. Enough said.
F -- Jason Spezza
• Entering his sixth season with the Sens. Heatley's set-up man is looking for a more consistent year.
F -- Daniel Alfredsson
• After early signs pointed to former Colgate University standout Jesse Winchester to start the season with Healey and Spezza, Alfredsson moves back into the top line on the eve of the regular-season opener against the Penguins.
D -- Chris Phillips
• Entering his 11th season with the Sens. One of the NHL's top defensive defensemen, and a fearless one at that.
D -- Jason Smith
• Arrived via free agency from Philly. A much-needed boost in the character department.
Answer: "Obviously, we want to win as soon as possible," Spezza said. "But Heater and I both signed for a long time; I think that gives us a good chance. We definitely have some guys locked up for a long time. So we're not going to lose too many guys. We know things may change, but with the group we have now, we feel we can win. There's no point waiting for something else to happen. Hopefully we can get it done this year."

Is there a way to show a list of highest scoring users and/or posts?
I loved this plug-in. I would have given it a 5. It stopped working yesterday. I suddenly realized how important contact with the designer is. I'd like to be able to trouble shoot it with him, it was that nice of a plug in. :-( All the sudden its redirecting to the top of the page when you click the thumbs up button.
Works perfectly!
A pretty simple implementation on having users peer rate other users based on their topics.
One minor issue to improve upon: the ability to have the grey background tab that contains the overall user rating scale with the column width. Currently this grey tab (DIV class bbpress_post_ratings_user_rating) gets cut off if the column width is shorter than 80px. As said this is a minor thing that many won't notice. Great plugin and highly recommended.

"Incorrect CSS programming" is a bit vague - what do you mean by incorrect?
The main way CSS could slow down page loading is by using lots of external style sheets (i.e. significantly increasing the number of HTTP requests) or by using very large CSS files. If you're using just a couple of style sheets under 100KB or so then the slow loading is being caused by something else.
It's probably more likely to be slow, resource-intensive server (or client-side) scripts.

Identifying possible designated shooting areas is a key element of the strategy of the Northern Front Range Recreational Sports Shooting Management Partnership (Partnership). After reviewing multiple possible sites across Boulder County, there are five potential locations that meet preliminary criteria (CLICK) for safe, sustainable designated shooting areas.
These areas are mapped below (click on each entry) and include:
· Ruby Gulch
· West Magnolia
· Allenspark Dump (analysis and public involvement has been completed and is pending a decision)
· Bunce School Road
· Beaver Reservoir Road
Residents can also view a map (CLICK) which shows all of the sites as in relation to one another as an overview.
There are three open house meetings scheduled for residents to discuss these possible locations with county staff members. The meetings will be open house-style with multiple stations set up for interested citizens to obtain information and provide comments. There will be no scheduled presentation, residents are welcome to come and go as they please.
A table with information about the preliminary criteria that was used to select the areas will be set up for attendees to view. There will also be a station which displays the maps of possible designated shooting areas currently under consideration.
In addition, the Boulder County Land Use Department will have a station to explain the process for amending the Land Use Code to include considerations of the appropriate size of a site, setbacks from neighboring properties, and health and safety protections.
All open house dates and locations are listed below:
What: Nederland Open House
When: Monday, July 20, 6-7:30 p.m.
Where: Nederland Community Center, 750 Highway 72 North, Nederland

From our good friends at the Kansas State Rifle Association:
Per the NRA, federal law does not require that a question about gun ownership be included in every medical history. In fact, Dr. Timothy Wheeler, head of Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership (DRGO) says physicians promoting an anti-gun agenda are violating medical ethics by committing a "boundary violation" by asking such a question.
When Obamacare was moving through Congress, the NRA acted to ensure that the program could not be used as a formal legal basis for mandating inquiries and record-keeping about gun ownership. Section 2716(c) of the Affordable Care Act is titled "Protection of Second Amendment Gun Rights."
Subsection (c)(1) states that "A wellness and health promotion activity" implemented under Obamacare "may not require the disclosure or collection of any information relating to" lawful possession or storage of firearms or ammunition in a person's residence.
The next subsection, (c)(2), states that nothing in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA, the formal name for Obamacare) authorizes the collection of information about the lawful possession or storage of firearms or ammunition.
Finally, (c)(3) says that nothing in the PPACA "shall be construed to authorize or may be used to maintain records of individual ownership or possession of a firearm or ammunition."
This is certainly a good start, as it prevents Obamacare from being used to mandate gun data collection. But according to the Obama administration, it doesn't prevent physicians from asking the gun question-and recording the answer.
On Jan. 16, 2013, President Barack Obama issued a host of executive actions about gun control. Eight days later, the U.S. Department of Labor issued an FAQ about Obamacare implementation Question five was, "Does PHS Act section 2717(c) restrict communications between health care professionals and their patients concerning firearms or ammunition?"
The Obama administration's answer: "No. ... The statute prohibits an organization operating a wellness or health promotion program from requiring the disclosure of information relating to certain information concerning firearms. However, nothing in this section prohibits or otherwise limits communication between health care professionals and their patients, including communications about firearms. Health care providers can play an important role in promoting gun safety."

Authorities in Jefferson County and the City of Arvada have proposed building a shooting range in western Arvada. Because the proposed site is just 1.45 miles from a housing development, there will need to be noise abatement features considered in the design of the range. Nonetheless, some neighbors oppose the construction of the range citing noise concerns even though adequate noise abatement will be incorporated in the design.

The US Forest Service (USFS) issued a press release, reprinted below, announcing that it is considering amending the existing management plan for the Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forests in order to address recreational shooting. The Forests are located in north central Colorado and encompass 1.5 million acres. They extend north to the Wyoming border, south of Interstate 70 to Mount Evans, west across the Continental Divide to the Williams Fork area.
The scoping process is the first phase in the development of a federal land management plan or an amendment to an existing plan. During the scoping process the public is invited to comment on the scope of the project as identified in the press release. The NRA is encouraging all shooters and hunters (who shoot on these National Forests) to send comments to USFS by the due date of June 3rd. The most helpful comments will be from those who can speak specifically about areas that should be kept open for continued dispersed recreational shooting and areas that would be suitable as designated shooting areas. Designated shooting areas may be improved with berms, target holders and benches.
Public Scoping Begins on Management Direction for Recreational Sport Shooting
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – The Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests announced the public scoping process on a proposal to include Forest Plan management direction for recreational sport shooting activities on National Forest System lands in Boulder, Clear Creek, Gilpin, Grand, Jefferson, Larimer and Park counties.
Currently, the 1997 Forest Plan does not provide any specific direction on how recreational sport shooting should be managed. Due to increasing residential development, housing density, public use, increased public participation in recreational sport shooting and associated health and safety issues; the U.S. Forest Service is considering amending the Forest Plan to include direction for managing recreational sport shooting. Management direction may include:
The U.S. Forest Service is requesting comments on this proposal. Public comments will help shape the Forest Service's proposal and identify issues and concerns during environmental review. While comments are welcome at any time, they will be most helpful if received by June 3, 2015.
Comments can be submitted in writing or electronically at:

Many shooters/hunters may have read recently about serious restrictions on the traveling abroad with firearms imposed by U.S. Customs. Last week, the NRA claimed victory for beating back an Obama administration policy that would have essentially stopped American hunters and sport shooters from traveling internationally with their personal firearms and ammunition.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced on Thursday that it is returning to its previous system of facilitating the international transport of personal firearms and ammunition, after meeting with representatives from the NRA, firearms industry and sportsmen's groups, and key members of Congress.

As expected, anti-gun Democrat representatives killed several pro-gun, pro-defense bills in the House State, Veteran and Military Affairs Committee, AKA the "Kill Committee". Rather than give these bills, some of which passed with bi-partisan support in the State Senate, a fair up/down vote on the House floor, anti-gun Dem House leadership made sure these bills would meet certain death in a committee stacked with like-minded anti-gun Dems. Each of the following bills was defeated on a strict party-line vote:
Senate Bill 86
Would repeal universal background checks on all private firearms transfers.
House Bill 1138
Would exempt concealed handgun permit holders from having to undergo background checks when purchasing guns from gun shows or licensed gun dealers, saving the state thousands of dollars each year.
House Bill 1168
Would remove a prohibition against carrying concealed handguns on property if the carrier has a valid concealed carry permit.
Senate Bill 32
Would allow concealed carry without a permit by persons over age 21 who are legally permitted to own firearms.
House Bill 1152
Mirrored Senate Bill 32.
Senate Bill 175
Would repeal the prohibition on magazines that hold more than 15 rounds.
Once again, it is important to note that, while not all Democrat legislators are aggressively anti-gun, their leadership IS, and it was this leadership that made sure these common-sense laws failed to get a fair up/down vote before more fair-minded colleagues. It's often said there is no difference between the political parties. When it comes to firearms rights, nothing could be further from the truth. One need only look at the speakers at this week's NRA Leadership Forum…how many Democrat leaders appeared to speak in defense of the Second Amendment and firearms rights? 'Nuf said.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) was instrumental in stalling the Obama Administration's initial attempt to ban commonly used ammunition for the most popular rifle in America, the AR-15. The announcement that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) will suspend its proposed framework to ban M855 ammunition validates the NRA's assertion that this effort was nothing more than a political maneuver to bypass Congress and impose gun control on the American people.
"Today's announcement proves what we have said all along – this was 100% political. President Obama failed to pass gun control through Congress, so he tried to impose his political agenda through executive fiat. But every gun owner in America needs to understand Barack Obama's hatred of the Second Amendment has not changed," said Wayne La Pierre, Executive Vice President of the National Rifle Association.
Chris Cox, Executive Director of NRA-ILA criticized the dishonest campaign to ban this common ammunition: "The lies used to justify the ban were shameful. This proposal was never about law enforcement safety – it was about the Obama Administration's desire to pander to billionaire Michael Bloomberg and his gun control groups. Since they haven't been able to ban America's most popular rifle, they are trying to ban the ammunition instead."
Since the BATFE announced its plan to ban commonly used ammunition less than a month ago, the NRA rallied its five million members and tens of millions of supporters across the country in strong opposition. In addition, the NRA worked with congressional leaders in both the U.S. House and Senate to oppose this misguided proposal.
"The NRA would like to thank House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and House Commerce, Justice, Science Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman John Culberson for leading the fight against this unconstitutional attack on our Second Amendment freedoms," continued Cox. "This was a significant victory for our five million members and tens of millions of supporters across the country.
"Make no mistake, this fight is not over. We will remain vigilant and continue to fight against President Obama's attempt to dismantle the Second Amendment," concluded LaPierre.

It is easy to calculate for an ext3 filesystem using tune2fs, but VPS uses VSFS by Virtuozzo, and it is documented bad.

I've seen a similar thing before, especially in times of peak load on the Steam servers (Summer or Christmas Sales) or when the Steam client has been updated. FYI - my Steam client updated in the last 24 hours also so that may have something to do with it.
Patch release notes and for future reference at: Steam News
This question could probably be resolved as it sounds like your game is appearing now :)
So if games do now show up in library, be sure to log out of your account, then log back in. In most cases it is a simple lagging error. hope this helps!

Last Year: 13-1
Coach: Brad O'Steen
Players to Watch: RB Curtis Rushing, QB Pete Carter, LB Michael Medina, LB Ty Durbecq, DT Aaron Ruppe
Team Preview: 2012 was a good year for the Wynnewood Savages, as head Coach Brad O'Steen lead his team to a 13-1 record , which culminated in a tough loss to the Ringling Blue Devils in the Class A state championship. Wynnewood is no doubt anxious to make another deep run in the playoffs to go for another gold ball. That effort will be spearheaded on offense by running back Curtis Rushing, who is trying to build on the success he had his sophomore season. On defense, the Savages are lead by a quality group of linebackers including Miguel Medina and Ty Durbecq. The Savages will make noise in district A-5 again this season.

Media Gilbert Arenas, Rep. Jim McDermott, and the Sexy Queen of Jordan
posted by October 25 at 1:48 AMon
Knowing how much I dig NBA point guard Gilbert Arenas, several friends have pointed me to the November issue of Esquire. The magazine has an NBA 2007 preview. And unlike this week's Sports Illustrated NBA preview, which predictably features LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Carmelo Anthony, Esquire's contrarian article stars Arenas. Esquire calls the Washington Wizards guard, "the NBA's most unheralded superstar." (True! 6 apg, 29.3 ppg, and a league-leading playoff average of 34 ppg last year.) Arenas is featured in the centerfold picture and featured in a goofed out "new journalism" interview.
There is a sidebar (ha!) on King James.
As Wizards fans know, national exposure for Jillbert is long overdue.
Here's the excerpt my friends kept telling me about:
ENTRY 15: SELF-IMPOSED COMMUNICATION BARRIERS When I get a new cell phone, first thing I do is turn it off and call from my house phone and leave stupid little messages to myself. Like: "It's me." "It's me." "This is Gilbert." "It's me." "It's Gilbert." I just fill it up, so no one can leave messages. If you don't, you leave for an hour and thirteen people have called. So there are thirteen new messages you have to listen to and it's like, Oh, man. I don't feel like hearing people's stories. Most people love leaving messages that they don't want to tell you in person. So I cut that off.
And here's the part I liked best:
ENTRY 16: SELF-MOTIVATIONAL MECHANISMS The subject steps out of his dressing closet holding a list he keeps there of every player in the 2001 NBA draft who was selected ahead of him. All thirty. He runs his fingers down the page. He has scratched out each player who is no longer in the league. "Hmpff," he says, pausing on a name. "I got to get the pencil out. Utah. Raul Lopez? Ain't seen him much lately."
And here's an excerpt I'm not sure I understand:
ENTRY 8: UNUSUAL SLEEPING RITUALS SUBJECT [interviewed while playing two-man Halo in his bedroom]: You can't see very good. I'll sit down on the floor if you want.
OBSERVER: No, I can tell you like to play on the bed. I'll stay here.
SUBJECT: I just started sleeping in this bed after three years. I used to sleep over there.
OBSERVER: Where? On the couch?
SUBJECT: Yeah. I trained myself to sleep on the couch.
OBSERVER: Why would you do that?
SUBJECT: You know.
OBSERVER: Not really.
SUBJECT: I don't like women all up on me, touching me. So I get up and go.
OBSERVER: Yeah?
SUBJECT: Then they get up and go. [Subject points to the video-game screen.] Stay there. Wait for me behind that door.
OBSERVER: What door?
SUBJECT [shaking his head]: I discovered that women don't like that much.
It's also Esquire's "Sexiest Woman Alive" issue. They go with Scarlett Johansson.
And they've got all these other super foxy women too. For example, Queen Rania of Jordan! No burqa for her.
Extra Bonus
There's also a great feature in the magazine on the upcoming mid-term elections. They choose the 9 worst members of Congress (the Cynthia McKinney Awards!) including: Frist, Santorum, Pelosi and Hastert. And they choose the nine best members of Congress, including: Hagel, Feingold, and Rep. John Lewis!
Then they make endorsements in every U.S. Senate, House, and Gubernatorial race in the country. I went right to Washington state to see if they get it. And they do: They endorse Burner over Reichert, Goldmark over McMorris, Cantwell over McGavick, Inslee (of course!) …and…something I wish the Stranger Election Control Board had the guts to do: They don't endorse McDermott. I took that as proof that they did their homework.
Oh, there's also a bubble-gum beatnik essay by Chuck Klosterman on why the NBA is cooler than other sports. A pseudo intellectual excerpt:
Basketball is different. Pro basketball changes with culture. It's a youth game, it's a street game, and it's an artists' game…its style of play reinvents itself every five or ten years. Basketball is dynamic, and basketball is reflective; if you profoundly understand the NBA, you can partially understand America. This is why the NBA is important.
Klosterman spouts the same Larry Bird/Magic Johnson 80s worship that everyone is so full of (way Overrated, in my opinion). Otherwise, it's quite the re-bop write up.

As the breakout star of The Avengers, it's no surprise that Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner has even more to do in the upcoming Marvel sequel, Age of Ultron.
"[My role's] even bigger than last time," the actor told Total Film recently, "and it's more complex and it has more layers and a bit more arc."
Ruffalo's comments jibe with what others have said about not just Hulk, but Hawkeye as well.
"Part of the fun of Age of Ultron was saying, you've seen another Iron Man adventure before, you see another Thor adventure and another Cap adventure, but we haven't seen the Green Goliath again," Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige told JoBlo.com earlier this year. "So that was important in the characters you haven't seen – Hulk being one of them and Hawkeye being one of them – Ultron will make up for it. They have very big parts in Age of Ultron."
As for what Ruffalo's "bigger" role entails, who can say? It sounds like the Oscar-nominated actor is knee-deep in the motion-capture world once again, at the very least.
"I'm really tripping on the technology of this motion-capture stuff," he said. "Now I just completely embrace it and see it as this other exciting place we can go as performers."
Directed by Joss Whedon, The Avengers: Age of Ultron arrives May 1, 2015.

I want to thank Katie for for pointing out that the paper came from LollyChops.

DENVER (AP) -- Four people have now died of avalanches in Colorado this winter, following three deaths in separate incidents on Sunday.
The deaths include a man who was snowmobiling with his brother near Buffalo Pass in Jackson County. The surviving brother was found Monday near a snow cave where he took shelter.
Two skiers also died in slides on Sunday, including one who was caught in a small avalanche on open terrain at Mary Jane Mountain in the Winter Park Ski Resort.
Avalanches deaths at ski resorts are extremely rare. At least two reported have been since 2005.
The avalanche danger remained high in many of Colorado's mountains on Tuesday. A portion of Interstate 70 on Vail Pass was set to temporarily close for avalanche control work. Significant backups are expected.

Re: score watch alert does not work
Remember though that your EQ FICO is monitored at least weekly, as opposed to daily. If you got a score alert, absent a credit alert for the change in that CC, then it falls back to the monitoring only. If you pulled a new EQ FICO report 3-4 days after subscribing, and saw the score change in the new report, followed by a score alert hours later showing you what you already knew, then that score alert came timely. For best results, immediately set your target score to match your last known score.

A psychologist and best-selling author gives us a myth-busting response to the self-help movement, with tips and tricks to improve your life that come straight from the scientific community.
Richard Wiseman has been troubled by the realization that the self-help industry often promotes exercises that destroy motivation, damage relationships, and reduce creativity: the opposite of everything it promises. Now, in "59 Seconds, " he fights back, bringing together the diverse scientific advice that can help you change your life in under a minute, and guides you toward becoming more decisive, more imaginative, more engaged, and altogether more happy.
From mood to memory, persuasion to procrastination, resilience to relationships, Wiseman outlines the research supporting the new science of "rapid change" and, with clarity and infectious enthusiasm, describes how these quirky, sometimes counterintuitive techniques can be effortlessly incorporated into your everyday life. Or, as he likes to say: "Think a little, change a lot."
"From the Hardcover edition.
About the Author
Richard Wiseman, Ph.D., currently holds Britain s only professorship in the Public Understanding of Psychology. He is the author of four bestselling books: The Luck Factor, Quirkology, 59 Seconds, and Paranormality. He lives in the UK.
Jonathan Cowley is a British actor whose recording of "The Tower, the Zoo and the Tortoise" by Julia Stuart earned him an "AudioFile" Earphones Award. He has narrated many audiobooks as well as film trailers and documentaries on both sides of the Atlantic.
Praise For…
"This is a self-help book, but with a difference: almost everything in it is underpinned by peer-reviewed and often fascinating research."
— New Scientist
"For all those who are tired of the usual self-help formula--homespun anecdotes, upbeat platitudes, over-the-top promises--Richard Wiseman's 59 Seconds is just what the PhD ordered."
— The Wall Street Journal
"Seemingly perfect for this age of short attention spans and instant gratification."
— The Chronicle Herald
"At last, a self-help guide that is based on proper research. Perfect for busy, curious, smart people."
— Simon Singh, author of Fermat's Enigma
"Wiseman is a brilliant name for a psychologist, and this book proves the professor is not misnamed. . . . [59 Seconds] contains dozens of fascinating and useful nuggets, and they all have science on their side."
— The Independent

I checked their website and it's just full of ads and not a lot of helpful information. Anyone know how I can set up this wp template to have no sidebar on any pages? I'm not super-competent with CSS but I know enough to get around.
Thanks for any help!

Writing, a quiet observation
There is something about words, something fluid, warm, recognisable and true. Just a short while ago I was again reminded of my love for anything written, and how it more than likely, came to be.
Early on in life I was already a dedicated library-lover. Living above one eased the path towards it, and it definitely turned me into a bibliophile. Countless hours and days were spent walking around in it, searching and nurturing books.
When my Dutch language teacher put me on the spot when I was 14 years old, he made me stand up and admit blame for a silly grammatical mistake. He also taught me about the artistry of words and love for languages. So many years later, I still value what he unintentionally did for me.
"Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depth of your heart; confess to yourself you would have to die if you were forbidden to write."
(Rainer Maria Rilke)
Just as unwittingly, my illness came to be, and writing took centre stage once more. Gone were the days of writing poetry for library events, present became the need to express what physically went on within me. Spreading awareness about MS by writing and helping the outside world see my story from my point of view, it certainly has helped do just that. I was firmly put on the road to writing once more, and I never looked back since.I daydream of writing a book, the physical act of writing, pen in hand, copy book ready, daydreaming of what would happen next. Words flowing from my fingers onto my keyboard, seeing things take shape; it is a soft murmur getting louder, a flicker of my unconscious mind taking place.
"There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed."
(Ernest Hemingway)
I am now a firm believer of writing therapy; seeing things written down makes whatever goes in your mind clearer, if not alive. What you wrote cannot be unsaid, but it is up to you if you want to share it. It's the first step in taking ownership of your thoughts, your mind. It's for free and the only thing required from you is your time, pen, paper or laptop, and the willingness to address what comes to mind.
Scientific research shows that writing can help boost your immune system, so why not try it? Even specific illnesses and/or symptoms caused by depression, anxiety and traumatic experiences can be dealt with by putting pen to paper. In my own case, dealing with the aftermath of being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and subsequent relationship issues, writing has helped so much so that my own GP acknowledges that I am now better equipped to deal with MS symptoms.
"I love writing. I love the swirl and swing of words as they tangle with human emotions."
(James A. Michener)
Many people experience paper as a very willing ear that listens without judging. The writer is in control of what happens next, it doesn't require you to be there at a specific time or place. From studying Counselling Psychology, I was already aware of the many benefits of writing, but it was not until I sat down the first time and dedicated myself to pen and paper, that I realised the potential of writing therapy.
"Tears are words that need to be written."
(Paulo Coelho)
Slowly but surely writing became a drug, not only one that is very easy to sustain, but one that doesn't harm anyone. Bad memories disappeared, if not eradicated; new, fresh and good ones were created. What I do about running into bad memories is totally independent of what therapists would tell me to do. I can leave writing for another day, or choose to address it now. I can choose to keep what I wrote in a diary, or I can throw it into the garbage.
For people uninterested in seeking a therapist to tackle certain mental issues, writing can indeed be very helpful, either as a stepping stone towards real-life therapy or towards better insight in one's mind. Any type of behaviour or emotion can be put to paper without fearing the outside world will find you weird or unable to communicate properly.
"Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart."
(William Wordsworth)
Writing now is a daily reflection, a midnight thought turned into inspiration. By reading even more than you already did, writing can be greatly improved. Rereading old blog posts and catching one or two grammar issues turns me into my own critic, one that is not harsh on me but shows me that writing is a conscious process of unconscious ideas.
I don't have to be a female Shakespeare or Tennyson, a Joyce or Yeats. As long as my mind can be improved upon by writing daily, my eyes will remain the only witness they always were.

The Path of ice by MarcSimonettiWatch

This is the cover art I've made for the French edition of "the fortress of ice" by JV Jones (split in two, that one is the first part called "the path of ice" for Orbit books.
Gorgeous lighting- like all of your stuff!
This reminds me a bit of Keith Parkinson's work. Beautiful work as always!
My eye never grows tired of admiring the details
wpw, beautiful!! absolutely love the light and landscape.
Wonderful as usual.
I give them about an hour ...maybe less for the girl.
Definitely less for the girl. Exposure especially with wind chill takes effect remarkably quick.
This is simply beautiful - perfect capture of winter sunset. I'm in love !
Some absolutely amazing work you've done. Wonderful details (Had a horse that looked just like the one in the picture, although I tell you what, in all that snow, I'm gonna have PANTS on!!!)
Great stuff. Really enjoyed looked through your gallery.

Just what I thought. Wonderful art, but how come they don't freeze to death in such outfit? Do they have some kind of warming magic or something?
Beatiful, I really like the sky in this piece (nice colours).

I've created the following document:
<path class="line" name="gene_1" stroke="#aec7e8" d="M10.47..."></path>
<path class="line" name="gene_2" stroke="#aec7e8" d="M10.47..."></path>
<path class="line" name="gene_3" stroke="#aec7e8" d="M10.47..."></path>
When I mouse over each path I want to append it last inside the svg:g so it appears on top of the other lines, but I don't know how to properly select the parentNode:
function onmouseover(d, i){
var current_gene_name = d3.select(this).attr("name"),
current_gene_pcp = d3.select(".line[name=" + current_gene_name + "]");
p1 = this.parentNode
p2 = current_gene_pcp[0].parentNode
p3 = current_gene_pcp[0][0].parentNode
p1 works, but I wanted to make sure that "this" is a .line, so I preferred to use current_gene_pcp, but p2 returns
<html></html> as the parent, even though p3 returns the proper
<g></g>. This last version seems like a bug waiting to happen. Is there a better way?

AbstractMobile ad-hoc networking is a technology that offers great value to warfighters. It promises self-forming, self-healing distributed networking ideally suited to the constantly changing environments of the battlefield. However, the reality of mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) has yet to come level with the promises. Military network planning does not yet enable planners to use MANETs as a connectivity extender, and to date MANETs are not reliable enough in either connectivity or throughput to reliably carry mission-critical information for the military. Given MANET's mobile nature, it is necessary that MANETs evolve from self-forming to self-managed networks so as to help relieve planning requirements. The idea behind self-management is that MANET nodes collaborate to optimize their own routing and quality of service. In this effort, tools will be created to move MANETs close to self-managed networks and provide network monitoring and management that covers network from the wireline to the wireless. Algorithms will be generated and simulated to improve MANET connectivity and QoS. A planning tool will be created to help network planners use MANETs, and existing network management software will be modified to provide wireline and MANET monitoring and management.

I recently launched the portfolio site for my company, Roycroft Design. Check it out: http://www.roycroftdesign.com/
The whole site runs on WordPress. I created a custom post type for the portfolio projects, and a custom taxonomy for it as well. It was interesting to figure out how to get them to work for our purposes, and to figure out how the new features (mainly with 3.0) would work. They definitely helped to utilize WordPress as a CMS, with less hacking than was required before.
I'd love to hear feedback if you guys have any.

Auburn five-star recruit Kris Frost hopes to make an impact for the Tigers this fall. If he can recover in time, that's still a possibility.
Frost had successful surgery on his shoulder on Tuesday. The Tigers freshman could bounce back and have a chance to play this season.
He injured the shoulder last week during a workout. Frost hoped to crack the Tigers linebacker rotation as a freshman, with the departure of veteran's Josh Bynes and Craig Stevens.
Frost had 178 tackles during his final two seasons at Butler H.S. in Matthews, North Carolina. Even without Frost, the Tigers have depth at linebacker, with Daren Bates, Eltoro Freeman, Jonathan Evans, Jake Holland and Harris Gaston all returning.
He had a total of 178 tackles in his final two high school seasons at Butler High School in Matthews, N.C.

Have a Handjob section? Stock this.
Most of the girls in Handjobs Across America 4 probably wouldn't do a hardcore sex scene on camera. But they will get completely naked and stroke a dude until he pops - preferably somewhere on the girl's body. Nine scenes of not-so-innocent looking amateurs from across the country, mostly shot in the first-person perspective, display the many varied techniques of stroking cock.
Tyler bounces up and down on a beach ball while she strokes the dude. Leila Swan greases up a long cock, works it with both her hands then wraps her tits around it.
Some of the girls in this video have pursued porn further, like Cherry, a young college-age slut with barbell piercings in her nipples. She strokes the cameraman's cock while she sits on the toilet. And like a good aspiring porn performer, she gets on her knees and opens her mouth for the pop. Neveah (aka Heaven Spelled Backwards) has also gone on to a promising porn future. She displays a promising two-hand technique.
Brooke Lynn puts a vibrator on her clit while she strokes her man's cock. When she comes, she scoops it up and eats her white girl goo. Linda breaks the rules and puts her man's cock in her mouth.

Final update for the night. Trying to keep the posts separate instead of amending the original to make this easier to read. Doesn't seem like this specific forum gets much daily traffic anyways.
Cleared system cache - no change.
Generated new save file by changing storage device and then loaded into co-op menu. There was a longer hesitation than normal as it appeared to download my stats. Unfortunately, the stats it downloaded were the ones from only my previous game.
For now I'm going to leave it, come back in a day or two and hope to some furry god that they get restored.
Honestly though, I have a strong feeling they were overridden on EA's server. Makes me feel better about not playing any of their other EA multiplayer games like Battlefield. Not sure I could stand to lose all that progress all over. Then again, I still have Mass Effect 3 on the horizon.
Cheevos are a hard mistress.

Skip to comments.Obama: 'Unimaginable' Congress would 'defy' Americans on guns
Posted on 04/16/2013 8:13:02 AM PDT by To-Whose-Benefit?
President Obama can't see how Congress could buck public opinion to vote against new gun laws, he said in an interview released Tuesday.
The notion that Congress would defy the overwhelming instinct of the American people after what we saw happen in Newtown I think is unimaginable, he told "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie in an interview conducted before Monday's explosions at the Boston Marathon.
The Senate is expected to vote on gun legislation later this week, though it's not yet clear whether there will be enough votes for it to pass. Obama has been calling lawmakers to try to convince them to vote in favor of tougher gun laws, The Associated Press reported late Monday.
In the budget released last week, Obama said he offered Republicans a realistic compromise."
It does not give Republicans everything they want. Frankly, it doesn't reflect everything that I would like to see, he said. What it does is it puts forward some of the ideas that Republicans had suggested around entitlement reform that I think are reasonable policy.
Ah, right on schedule, the t*rd speaks.
I'm an American, Obama, and I don't want congress to take any action at all.
Do I not count or something?
He's a genius in his own mind.
Narcissists generally do NOT do well when they are voted against. Interested to see what he tries after the gun bills fail.
Then they need to man up and declare the 2nd amendment null and void.
I dare them.
Yes, it would be... so Congress should leave the laws as is.
If I'm not mistaken, we overwhelmingly did NOT WANT OBAMBICARE . . . what was it? . . . 76% against it?
So why did we get THAT shoved down our throats?
And where in the hell did this sock-puppet hear that Americans overwhelmingly wanted gun control? Are his handlers feeding him stupid things to say?
Surrounding yourself with mindless sycophants does have it's downside.
What's 'Unimaginable' is that after we had Obama in action for 4 years, our own party threw the election so we could get stuck with Obama for another 4 years.
I dare ya.
If Congress were responsive to the "overwhelming instinct of the American people" it would be hastily repealing gun laws.
Unfathomable the One would claim consensus and ownership of this issue.
The 'overwhelming instinct' of Americans knows WHY the government was to registers everyone's guns; To confiscate them.
In other words, He finds it objectionable that Congress seems unwilling to go along with his Treasonous Acts.
Oh, really, ZerO? You sure were glad they did it when they passed Obamacare, weren't you?
well, Mr. President, first of all, Congress better vote against the people if what the people want is unconstitutional... secondly, there is not an overwhelming sentiment for gun control... thirdly, you didn't have this attitude of Congress going against the will of the people when you pushed Obamacare... you simply do not know what it is to be an American... you do not get it...
He seems to be pretty upset at the founders who put some circuit breakers in place to keep fools like this from getting their way 100% of the time.
You have to also keep in mind that confiscation isn't the "holy grail" for them.
It's what they can/want to do AFTER confiscation that we should be rubbing their nose in.
Are you a white male?
These checks etc. affect only the good guys.
NYS: So the bad guy shows up at an event and checks his magazines....yup...capacity 30 - all set to go.
And a cop approaches him. The cop had just checked his hardware...yup...only 7 bullets.
The bad guy starts running...turning and shooting behind him at the cop. The cop says "time out"....I have to reload.
Even were he telling the truth about Americans and support for gun comtrol, he's a big fat liar, because he had no problem shoving Obamacare down our throats when a majority of Americans repeatedly opposed it.
And 0Care.
And enforcing EXISTING immigration laws...not shoving amnesty down our throats.
So much for Representation.
Hadn't even read yours yet and thought the same thing!
Obama only hears what he wants to hear.
And he surrounded himself with all Yes-men and women.
We are not HIS PEOPLE, so we don't count.
So, how much is "he doesn't get it",
and how much is "he has another agenda".
The son of a bi7ch is friggin delusional.
And add:
'Obama is still optimistic that the Senate GOP will see reason with your help making phone calls and letters pleading with them. He needs YOUR help to make sure the Sandy Hook Moms are the last ones to cry on (camera-on cue), at least until something else goes wrong'
This isn't about law and order, good guys or bad.
This is about control. Control over you and us. They use law and children as props but this is about Marxism/Communism. They want it as it gives them money and power.
And it's unimagineable that YOU would 'defy' The American People on Obamacare.
But you did...
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Traitor Roberts proclaimed that our representatives were following the will of the people.
He's not going to become a capitalist roader or a deviationist any time soon ~
All eyes are off Congress and on Boston! Watch out!
Obama wants his own WACO and Ruby Ridge.
If he continues in this direction he will ignite a second civil war, or maybe we are already in one and it hasn't sunk in yet. He has defied the American people at every turn. He's just angry we haven't bowed to his will.
Hey Obozo! What about the Civil War, buddy?? You know, that event in American History which freed "your people"!!!
Secret liberal decoder ring translation: Obama: 'Unimaginable' Congress would 'defy' Americans on guns = Unimaginable that reason and respect for the constitution would defy the emotional blackmail scam I been running to disarm innocent law abiding white people whose property my hoodie mau maus want to confiscate. Ya know like in South Africa?
Obama is the worst sort of liar. He puts words in other people's mouths that they would never have said.
This is the case with most leftists. They just find it "unimaginable" that people won't recognize their superiority and just obey and comply.
I stand corrected.
Obama lies about the support for gun control. He lies about a lot of other stuff also.
Click on the link below to see surveys on the desire for gun control. Pew, ABC Washington Post, and Gallop. None of these are conservative and quite frankly lean left.
Guess who's on tV, the king himself. We, we, we, I, we.
Exactly why we are NOT a Democracy, but a Constitutional Republic.
But I'm sure how the Amendment progress works just slipped the mind of the 'Constitutional scholar'
Way to go O; showing again why you're the socialist turd.
Once again, the Current Occupant of the White Hut is reading America wrong.
Whether The Won knows it or not, there is a vast area called "flyover country", AKA as the "red states", where the whole Bill of Rights is taken quite seriously, particularly the 1st, the 2nd, the 4th, and the 10th.
The territory once known as "the United States of America" is NOT 100% in favor of whatever it is that has been rammed down our throats over the past 4+ years.
And now, in an international snub of unparalleled gall, nobody representing the Current Regime is being sent to attend the funeral of Lady Thatcher of England. That is not merely rude, it is of unthinkably callous and boorish behavior. And this announcement was made BEFORE the Boston terrorist bombing.
"President Obama can't see how Congress could buck public opinion to vote against new gun laws,"
pResident O'Commie, maybe you were doing too many drugs while you slid through college and got that fake law license you had to surrender (why, we still don't know) but OPINIONs majority or minority are not Constitutional Laws.
Why is it so hard for these mental defective affirmative actions POS to understand what a Constitution is, why it was created, and why it should only be modified by an Amendment process NOT Opinion.
I could only wish this POS would read this but we all know the ruling elite just ignore us.
I would beg to differ; EVERYONE on the left get it! Every dictator gets it. So what if only criminals have guns. Criminals are not a threat to totalitarian rule and actually drive the public to demand totalitarian rule, that is once the public is disarmed and helpless.

If the Montreal Canadiens keep retiring the numbers of everyone who deserves it, they'll look more like a football team than a hockey team in a few years.
The Canadiens, who do these ceremonies far better than anyone else in the NHL (are you watching, Maple Leafs?), retired their 12th number Monday night when Larry Robinson's No. 19 was raised to the rafters of the Bell Centre. That will be followed by Bob Gainey's No. 23 in February with it all but certain the Canadiens will retire Patrick Roy's No. 33 next season when they celebrate their 100th anniversary.
Already or soon-to-be retired by the Canadiens are Nos. 1 (Jacques Plante), 2 (Doug Harvey), 4 (Jean Beliveau), 5 (Boom Boom Geoffrion), 7 (Howie Morenz), 9 (Maurice Richard), 10 (Guy Lafleur), 12 (Dickie Moore and Yvan Cournoyer), 16 (Henri Richard), 18 (Serge Savard) 19 (Robinson), 23 (Gainey) and 29 (Ken Dryden).
Once Roy's number is retired, that will give the Canadiens 14 retired numbers among the first 33 digits, which makes the pickings slim when it comes to choosing sweater numbers for incoming players. Until somebody better comes along, here are the greatest Canadiens who wore each of the remaining numbers:
3 -- Emile (Butch) Bouchard played 15 seasons in Montreal and captained the team to the first of its five straight Stanley Cups in 1956. An honorable mention to (Bad) Joe Hall, whose influenza death canceled the Stanley Cup final in 1919.
6 -- Prior to being a legendary coach for the Canadiens, Toe Blake played 11 seasons with the Habs, won four Cups and was a premier offensive player.
8 -- Doug Risebrough was an outstanding checking center for the Canadiens and was a vital cog on the team that won four straight Cups in the late 1970s. Little-known fact: Jean Beliveau wore the number briefly in 1970-71.
11 -- Yvon Lambert and Marc Tardif were terrific, but you have to give it to current captain Saku Koivu. Only Beliveau has worn the "C" longer in Montreal.
13 -- Billy Boucher spent the first of his five-plus seasons with the Canadiens in the 1920s wearing No. 13.
14 -- Not a great coach, but Mario Tremblay spent 12 industrious seasons wearing No. 14 and won five Cups.
15 -- Bobby Smith had two 30-goal seasons and three of 80-plus points and won a Cup with the Canadiens in 1986.
17 -- Murray Wilson was an underrated, honest player who won four Cups with the Canadiens in the 1970s.
20 -- Discarded by Detroit, Pete Mahovlich came to the Canadiens in 1969 and put up five 30-goal seasons. He also contributed to four Cups.
21 -- You could make a case the Canadiens should retire Guy Carbonneau's No. 21 some day. He won one fewer Selke than the four won by Gainey and was a member of two Cup winners in Montreal before winning a third in Dallas.
22 -- Steve Shutt was one of the most prolific scoring left wingers of all time and a worthy Hall of Famer who won five Cups in Montreal.
24 -- Chris Chelios won one of his three Norris Trophies in Montreal and one of his two career Stanley Cups with the Canadiens.
25 -- Jacques Lemaire was one of the best two-way centers of his generation, a Hall of Famer and an eight-time Stanley Cup winner.
26 -- Mats Naslund put up two 40-goal seasons in his brief, but terrific career with the Canadiens and had 19 points in 20 playoff games in Montreal's Cup run in 1986.
27 -- Another number that could be retired by the Canadiens belonged to Frank Mahovlich from 1970-74. Mahovlich scored 129 goals with the Canadiens in just three-plus seasons and only his defection to the WHA in 1974 prevented him from truly becoming one of the Canadiens' all-time greats.
28 -- Eric Desjardins was a lynchpin defenseman for the Canadiens for almost six years and was a member of the 1993 Cup team.
30 -- Gump Worsley also wore No. 1, but began his career with the Canadiens wearing No. 30 and led them to two Stanley Cups.
31 -- Mark Napier registered two 40-goal seasons and a 35-goal campaign in Montreal and was around for the last of their four straight Cups in the 1970s.
32 -- Claude Lemieux was an enormous pain in the ass to play against and saved his best work for the playoffs.
34 -- Donald Dufresne was a solid support defenseman for the Canadiens in the late '80s and early '90s.
35 -- Mike McPhee was another underrated worker bee who was a key component of the run to the Cup in 1986.
36 -- Sergio Momesso wore the number for three seasons. That's about all we can say on this one.
37 -- Steve Penney was spectacular for the Canadiens in their surprising run to the Eastern Conference finals in 1984, played 54 games the next season, then pretty much fell off the map.
38 -- Vladimir Malakhov wore the number from 1994 to 2000.
39 -- Current goalie Cristobal Huet is making a strong push, but the distinction still belongs to Brian Skrudland, a heart-and-soul guy who won a Cup with Montreal in 1986.
