There is only one sure-fire way to eliminate bugs from a program. That involves hard work. To give a precise description of requirements (and the problem to be addressed or the task that the software is to achieve). To understand what each code construct (whether it is a declaration/definition, an expression, or even a preprocessor directive) you use contributes to meeting those requirements. To define test cases that will fail unless the software meets the requirements, or - if the test cases are passed - can be used to provide a body of defendable evidence about how well the requirements are met.
Instead, what we have is a lot of rules of thumb, often based on a false premise that a few small simple tricks can eliminate bugs from a program. The thing is, if you dig into the places where many of those rules originate (journal articles, teacher guides, coding standards) their primary goal is to be easy to use, teach (it is easier to get a novice to add a "= 0" than it is to get them to think about how a variable contributes to the code working as required) and (in a lot of cases) be automatically enforced (eg by some software tool, such as a compiler, that enforces coding standards). The secondary goal (at best) of these rules is that they can, in some hopefully realistic scenarios, be demonstrated to reduce incidence of bugs in software.
In practice, some authors do express a wish that, by encouraging programmers to follow their chosen rules of thumb or coding guidelines, that they will encourage programmers to think more carefully about their code, and thereby reduce bug counts. In most cases, those authors wish in vain - most programmers learn to follow the "rules of thumb" without understanding, as a habit rather than something they think about, and therefore eventually run into the inconvenient pitfalls.

Yes, you got a spoon-fed answer from some overly enthusiastic newbie poster.
The real question is, have you learnt anything from this exercise (except perhaps that there's a sucker to answer your question somewhere).
Will you feel as confident with next weeks assignment (which will be harder)?
Nonetheless, it is still arbitrary, and it is probably a mistake to use i without further assignment if scanf fails. The correct approach to handling such an input error is not to check if i still has a value of 0 after the scanf call since indeed 0 is a valid input; rather, it would be to check the return value of scanf.Quote:

Bye, Andreas
I liked your post, Tomwa - LTA's also. You gave plenty of info, and LTA's code was so clear that there was no need to explain anything further.
The forum does have a problem, that if the OP posts no code, we quickly become a "please give me the codez" gathering spot, for lazy students.
Clearly, that was NOT the case here. The OP's code was "close", imo.
Well done, both of you.

Israeli troops assassinated a Fateh activist in the West Bank city of Hebron on Wednesday, reports said.
Israel Radio identified him as Emad Abu Snaineh.
The Fateh faction is the resistance movement most closely aligned with Palestinian President Yasser Arafat.
Palestinian officials say that over 40 political leaders and resistance fighters have been killed under Israel's assassination policy, variously called by the euphemisms "targeted killings," "liquidations," "surgical strikes," and "interception operations."
AFP's latest death tally for the Palestinian uprising against 34 years of Israeli military occupation comes out to 13 Arab Israelis, 547 Palestinians, and 146 Israelis, putting the ratio of casualties at around four Palestinians killed for every Israeli loss.
Israel's wounded number in the high hundreds, according to army sources, while the Palestine Red Crescent Society puts the number of Palestinians injured at over 14,000.
Amnesty International reported early this year that almost 100 Palestinian children had been killed by Israeli soldiers, nearly all in situations where the occupation troops were under no immediate threat.
The latest Palestinian uprising against 34 years of Israeli military occupation began last September – Albawaba.com

All-sports preview night to rally Musketeer fans
Athletics director to give "State of Xavier Athletics" address, All For One Club to kick off | September 16, 2003
The evening features a State of Xavier Athletics address by Mike Bobinski, associate vice president and director of athletics. Bobinski also is introducing head coaches and spotlighting some of the players for the upcoming athletic seasons. On a larger scale, he will present a view of the changing landscape of conference affiliation nationwide.
The reorganized All For One Club, the official support club of the department of athletics, also will launch at the preview event. Funds generated through the All For One Club benefit all 15 intercollegiate sports, most of which dont generate enough revenue to be self-supporting. One important goal is to enable each team to have a full-time coach; currently only one-third of the Universitys head coaches are full-time. Dan Cloran, director for annual fund and athletic giving, says donations through the club offset operating costs for teams, fund tournaments, provide for better and safer travel, and allow for more effective recruiting, to name a few.
The cost of the event is $20 per person and includes drinks and hors doeuvres. For more information or to sign up, contact Donna Kunkel at 513 745-2080 or Diane Alexander at 513 745-3571. For more details on the All For One Club, visit www.xavier.edu/giving or contact Cloran at 513 745-1031.

A$AP Ferg Models New Topman Collection by Astrid Andersen
Trap Lord for Topman.
A$AP Ferg is back in front of the camera, but this time around he's
not getting his Mega-Man in tha' hood on getting his Tyson Beckford on. Young Fergiano Swaggoratti has been tapped by designer Astrid Andersen to model her new 17-piece collection for Topman.
The collection is understated, but with a vibrant pop when color is used. The collection boasts a palette of fashion staples black and white, but also contains hits of gold and carnation pink. However, the most striking feature of the collection is the inspiration behind it, shared by Astrid Andersen:
The inspiration for the design was a website I found on Punjab basketball teams," she says. "There were images from the fifties right up to today so the inspiration became the crossover references on how this was originally a national sport but as time progressed it became highly Americanised. The colour code and metal reflect the traditional use of Indian colours but in a tight palette.
The ASVP guild is known to vanquish shit sartorially, so it's no surprise Ferg was pulled in to put that dapper Traplordian stamp of approval on the new Topman collection. Be on the lookout, and head to your local Topman retailer to snag some pieces on June 12.

(Weight Watchers Friendly Crock Pot Cooking Day 84)
I made this slow cooker chicken and sausage gumbo over the weekend and really liked how it turned out.
It was easy to put together and tasted great.
As a starting off point, I used the recipe for slow cooker chicken sausage gumbo from Betty Crocker's Slow Cooker Cookbook.
Then made a few changes to jazz it up a bit.
Served over rice with warm crusty bread, this slow cooker chicken and sausage gumbo was ready-and-waiting for us when we got home from the movies 🙂
Each generous serving has just 270 calories and *7 Weight Watchers points plus.
- ¾ pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- ¼ pound fully cooked smoked sausage, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1 medium onion, peeled and chopped (1 cup)
- 1 can (14 to 15 ounces) stewed tomatoes, undrained
- 5 cups chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons instant tapioca
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
- 2 teaspoons sweet paprika (optional)
- 10 ounces frozen cut okra, thawed and drained (2-1/2 cups)
- 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
- 2 scallions, chopped
- 3 cups hot cooked brown rice
- Hot red pepper sauce, for serving, if desired
- I used my 4-Quart slow cooker.
- Put the chicken, sausage, celery, bell pepper, onion, undrained tomatoes, broth, tapioca, thyme and paprika (if using) in the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or until the chicken is done and vegetables are tender.
- Add the okra and Worcestershire sauce. Cover and continue to cook on low until the okra is tender, 10 to 20 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir in the chopped scallions.
- Serve over cooked rice with hot pepper sauce, if desired.

I've never thought about going to see what The Rocks at Hopewell Cape look like in the middle of winter but my good fishing buddy Casey lives close and walks to where he can see them while walking his two dogs.
I like the way 'The Rocks' look in the summer but I think they look amazing with snow on them as well. Maybe it's because it's the first time I've seen them with snow on them. Very cool and I will certainly be making the trip to see them for myself once we have another vehicle.
Casey also took a few pictures of the ice along the shoreline and one shot I really like was the sun coming up over big blocks of ice along the water's edge. It was hard to tell just how big these blocks of ice are but Casey told me some of them are as big as a small car.
I love the way he got the sunrise in the picture of the ice blocks. I think it would have been better if he had his wife standing on one of the blocks. You know for a little perspective.

NASA Says Goodbye to Phoenix, but Spirit Shows Life
Michael Barkoviak
January 22, 2010 6:03 AM

Sender E-mail
Phoenix may be lost forever, but researchers unsure
NASA recently confirmed
its Phoenix Mars lander may be frozen
and could finally be lost for good, but has two spacecraft circling Mars looking for signs of life.
Odyssey is monitoring all radio transmissions, while the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter took pictures revealing where the Phoenix was located. It's located in a dry ice field that is slowly thawing now that spring is approaching at the Martian north polar plains. Scientists didn't design Phoenix to endure the harsh Martian winter, but NASA officials hope to re-establish contact as the Martian North Pole begins to heat up.
Odyssey will attempt to monitor communications from Phoenix, but it's becoming less likely researchers will be able to regain full control of the orbiter.
University of Arizona researchers said it was unlikely they'll hear signals before they try again in February, especially after months of darkness and extremely low temperatures. Even in April -- when constant sunlight will hit the same location -- but researchers can only hope it wakes up.
Both Phoenix and Spirit have outlasted their anticipated lifelines on Mars -- and have provided additional clues about the Martian surface. After first reaching the planet in May 2008, Phoenix lasted more than five months longer than expected. Furthermore, it also found
evidence of water below the Martian surface
, with researchers disappointed over the possible loss of the rover.
It's a shame that the run is finally over, but NASA has been able to learn so much more about the Martian surface directly because of Phoenix. I hope it can thaw and communicate with Earth controllers again this spring, but it's looking even more unlikely.
Spirit is
currently in its own battle to survive
, but it's also unsure if it will be able to finally claw its way out of a massive sand trap.
"The explanation here is that the rover's rear wheels are climbing, raising the back of the rover," according to NASA officials. "Images from the rear hazard avoidance camera confirm this."
"It looks like the iPhone 4 might be their Vista, and I'm okay with that." -- Microsoft COO Kevin Turner

Open Letter to Québec Students:
June 6, 2012
On behalf of over one million workers in Ontario, I am writing to you to express our strongest solidarity with your movement to stop tuition fee hikes and maintain a high quality, accessible post-secondary education system in Québec. We salute your movement's determination to continue in the face of an intransigent government and violent police crack-downs.
In Ontario, we are fighting our own provincial government's austerity agenda that would see people on welfare suffer a further cut in the purchasing power of their monthly stipends. We are fighting our government's plans to underfund crucial social programs like health care and education, all while dolling out billions of dollars in tax cuts to profitable corporations.
We know that a victory for Québec students is a victory for working people everywhere and will inspire and embolden our movement here in Ontario.
Since the 2010 G20 in Toronto where Canada spent nearly $2 billion on police and paramilitary security that saw the largest mass arrests since the imposition of martial law in Québec, we have known the leaders of the world's largest economies were preparing to deliver a frontal assault on working people at home and around the world.
We know that solidarity and resistance are crucial weapons in the fight against austerity at all levels. In this regard, we salute students who have made common cause with Steelworkers in Alma, Québec who themselves were locked out by the heartless, profit-driven corporation Rio Tinto Alcan.
For more than 40 years, students in Québec have been on the forefront of the battles to ensure that education remains affordable and accessible for all. The fact that tuition fees have been frozen for much of those past 40 years is a testament to the effectiveness of solidarity and resistance that emerged over and over again to stop tuition fee hikes, to defend and restore student grants and to maintain adequate public funding. The success of your movement is an inspiration to all of us.
In solidarity,
Sid Ryan, President
Ontario Federation of Labour

Haifa Wahbi's and Nidal Al Ahmadyeh's case postponed
New lawsuits are still taking place between the famous Lebanese artist Haifa Wahbi and her colleague Rola Saed and the journalist Nidal Al Ahmadyeh. In the most recent trial, the judge had made a decision to postpone the ruling of the new case till February 10th, since Al Ahmadyeh had come to court, yet Haifa's lawyer came on behalf her Haifa, because she was traveling and not in the country.
According to the London daily Elaph, Al Ahmadyeh and Rola's lawyers were both there and Al Ahmadyeh started raising her voice which got the judge upset and he decided to postpone the case for a later date.
As for Haifa's lawyer he had requested for compensation of one million American dollars from Al Ahmadyeh and Rola for making untrue and bad accusations about Haifa.
The case started when both Rola and Al Ahmadyeh accused Haifa of making a pornographic film. The court did not make a ruling in that case because there was not enough evidence.
It is needless to say that Haifa wanted both Rola and Al Ahmadyeh to pay for all the damage they had caused her and her career. For the time being Haifa had arrived in Paris on a special trip to participate in the events for the fashion week.

The nearly 900 New York state workers scheduled for layoffs Dec. 31 are receiving information about their rights to bump other union workers in a grim holiday mailing.
The letters to 898 people slated for layoffs announced by Gov. David Paterson in October advise them of their rights under union contracts and civil service law. In some cases, targeted employees will be able to "bump" a colleague with less seniority. The provision gives the employee a period of time to decide, said Erik Kriss, spokesman for the state Division of Budget.
Final layoff notices don't need to be sent until Dec. 10 to comply with a union contract that requires at least 20 days' notice. The layoffs are part of Paterson's plan to address $250 million of a current deficit of up to $1 billion.
Kriss said the administration still prefers to avoid layoffs, but has gotten no cooperation from Albany's powerful public employee unions, who have rejected Paterson's alternatives. He has for a year sought $250 million in concessions through delaying the workers' annual 4-percent raise or lagging a week's pay until the end of service, which would have avoided layoffs.
Unions have refused to reopen their negotiated contracts, which labor leaders say would set a dangerous precedent.
Whether Gov.-elect Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, goes through with the layoffs isn't certain. He has declined comment on his plans for governing, specifically saying he will consider Paterson's layoffs in January. Paterson's final day in office is Dec. 31. He has said he felt bound to leave the state's finances balanced.
"We would certainly have preferred that these employees continue working — for the services they provide, the positive impact their continued employment would have on the state's economy and the well-being of the employees themselves and their families," said Kriss, Paterson's budget spokesman.
In addition to the great sway public unions hold in Albany through lobbying, campaign contributions and their hundreds of thousands of members, a Nov. 15 poll found 53 percent of voters oppose the layoffs. Forty percent supported the layoffs in the Siena College poll.
Until Dec. 31, Cuomo is the state attorney general and he has said he would defend Paterson's action in court against union challenges.
Public employee unions have threatened legal action, citing a memorandum of understanding that was part of legislation to create a less expensive pension plan for new state hires. In exchange for the unions' support, Paterson promised no layoffs until Dec. 31.
The Public Employees Federation is running an ad blasting Paterson in attempt to gain public support and leverage in the Legislature and with Cuomo. The ad shows an unused desk with a phone in a darkened room. A call comes in and the viewer overhears an angry father threatening to throw away a little girl's "stupid doll," as she starts to cry.
As the argument gets more heated, the ad talks about all the union jobs already lost through attrition and early retirement incentives.
Then the phone answers: "You have reached the child abuse prevention hot line. No one is available to help you right now. Please leave a message." The ad fades out with the ominous sound of a dial tone.
The Paterson administration hasn't scheduled any layoffs for the child abuse hot line.
"PEF recognizes the seriousness of the current economic crisis, but Governor David Paterson's plan to lay off nearly 1,000 state employees has the potential to seriously hamper services on which New York taxpayers rely," said union President Kenneth Brynien. "The ads point out the state work force has already been cut by 11,500 jobs since 2008. It's time for the governor to ask himself which state services he is willing to tell taxpayers they must do without."

As we were reminded last week, nothing polarizes sports fans quite like religion and politics. In fact, nothing polarizes anything quite like religion and politics.
Lets never talk about that stuff again, OK? We dont need it. Especially when there are plenty of other hot button issues to argue over.
For instance, booing.
Is there anything in sports that polarizes fans faster than the concept of booing athletes?
Whether its an issue with the home team, or the home players, or former heroes returning as enemies, when we talk about booing, true colors come flying out. We end up debating morality and basic human rights. Everyone gets preachy and nothings ever accomplished.
In other words: Its awesome.
Im already bracing myself for January.
I dont know.
They should do whatever they want. This isnt a moral issue; its booing. Its part of the game. And if you think theyre wrong, thats your right, but theres no point in lecturing. Youd be better off trying to convince Tim Thomas to vote for Obama.
People will believe what they want to believe. And right now, a lot of people believe that Josh Beckett deserves to be booed. Not for getting injured, but for being Josh Beckett. Not for his back spasms, but because back spasms are an injury consistent with the notion that he's out of shape.
Bottom line: Beckett's become the face of this year-long Red Sox nightmare, and fans are ready to wake up. They don't want to see him anymore. Hell, if they really wanted to be cruel and unusual, they could have cheered the injury. Celebrated the possibility that this guy might disappear for 15 days. But they booed.
It's OK.
Beckett will be OK. Ray Allen will be OK. Johnny Damon was OK. And if booing makes a fan feel better, who's to say whether it's right or wrong?

During Friday's game between the 67's and Brampton Battalion at the Civic Centre, Ottawa centre Thomas Kiriakou made a play in the opening period that seemed rather unimportant at the time.
But in the grand scheme of things, it was the kind of effort Kiriakou makes regularly, and what makes the 17-year-old rookie so valuable to his team.
Taking a faceoff in the neutral zone early in the game while Ottawa was down two players to penalty, Kiriakou won the draw and managed to flip the puck high into the Brampton end, killing valuable time in the Battalion two-man advantage.
Kiriakou is one of the team's top faceoff men, right up there with captain Julian Talbot.
Coach Brian Kilrea won't hesitate to put him out there for key draws, or as a penalty killer.
You can't help but notice Kiriakou every time he takes the ice. He's always working. He's by no means a natural scorer, and he'll be lucky to get 50 goals before his OHL career ends in two or three years.
But that doesn't really matter, because Kilrea sees the kind of consistent effort from Kiriakou that could get the kid a pro contract down the road.
"He reminds me of Konopka," said Kilrea, referring to former 67's captain Zenon Konopka, who played with his heart on his sleeve in junior and has finally been rewarded with an NHL roster spot in Anaheim.
"Zenon and Thomas are the same because they both have to work hard to get there," said Kilrea, speaking about the NHL. "They work hard for everything they get, and that's why you value those players."
Kiriakou comes from a large extended family that loves hockey, but he's the first one of the bunch to make it to the OHL after being taken in the fifth round out of the Richmond Hill Stars.
He joined the 67's last year during the Christmas break, and stuck around for the remainder of the regular season and playoff run, getting sparse game action but an opportunity to work out with the club.
This year, he recorded an assist on the first 67's goal of the season on the road in Sault Ste. Marie, and has 13 points heading into the final portion of the regular schedule. His goal is to reach 20 points in his first full OHL year.
Kiriakou credits his parents for the work ethic, and his minor hockey coaches for giving him the basis for his hockey knowledge. He's come a long way since scoring six goals in his first house-league game as a seven-year-old.
"It's not where you start, it's where you end," said Kiriakou. "I may not be a first-rounder, but there's 30 NHL teams out there, and not every one needs to like you, only one."
Maybe it'll work out for him -- just like it did for Zenon Konopka.
TOURNEY TOWN: Ottawa's bid for the 2009 IIHF world juniors isn't the only area effort to land a major hockey event. Cornwall is going for the 2008 RBC Royal Bank Cup, the Junior A national championship. Cornwall Colts owner Matt Jacobs fronts the bid and will be competing against Kindersley, Sask., Camrose, Alta., and Winnipeg. Hockey Canada will announce the successful bid in May at its annual meeting in St. John's.
ODDS AND ENDS: 67's owner Jeff Hunt pushed for video replay -- again -- at OHL meetings prior to the all-star game in Belleville earlier in the week. The league eventually wants to adopt replay, but is leaning toward a system where officials at a central "war room" office would determine close calls on disputed goals ... The Windsor Spitfires have won 11 straight games at home ... Ted Baker, the OHL's director of hockey operations and referee-in-chief told the London Free Press earlier this week the league will start clamping down on players for pre-fight posturing.
SHOOTING STARS: The Metro Division teams took both games during yesterday's Eastern Ontario Junior B all-star day at Sandy Hill Arena. Metro downed the Valley squad 10-5 in the rookie game, followed by a 9-4 Metro victory in the veteran contest. Aaron McLeon of the Metcalfe Jets had a goal and three assists to earn the MVP nod for Metro in the rookie game. Travis O'Donnell of the Arnprior Packers took the Valley honour. In the veteran game, Shawn Tremblay of the Gatineau Mustangs got the MVP nod after scoring twice, while Jordan McDougall of the Shawville Pontiacs led Valley with a pair of goals. A full list of goal scorers can found on Page S16.
IN THE CREASE: The A-Channel is hosting an online auction to support the Sebastien Savage Fund. Several items of sports memorabilia will be available starting tomorrow at www.achannel.ca ... Looks like they're bringing in the big names to perform the national anthem at the Fred Page Cup, beginning April 26 in Pembroke. Barring a conflict with his Senators gig, Lyndon Slewidge will belt it out during the opening ceremony. Organizers are also trying to land Michael Burgess of Les Miserables stage fame for the playoff round ... And speaking of anthem singers, Denise Gagnon-Lebrun, who performs them occasionally at 67's games, is one of the best.

BP Oil
Are you looking for information about BP cleanup jobs? The May 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico resulted in increased attention being brought to the need for trained oil spill workers with the skills necessary to respond to such crisis situations when the need arises. There is likely to be a need for workers to deal with the after effects of this particular oil spill, as well as possible future incidents, for an extended period of time.
About Oil Spill Cleanup Jobs
When an oil spill occurs, the impact is not immediately known. With the 2010 BP oil spill, for example, the immediate response efforts focused on trying to contain the spill, with city, county, and state areas in the locations that might experience direct impact from the disaster scrambling to put plans in place to protect their interests.
In such a situation, it immediately becomes obvious that there will be a need for workers to clean up the mess. However, what isn't known right away is exactly how much help will be needed, where cleanup workers will be needed the most, and exactly who will be doing the hiring. Every situation will be different, meaning that those who want to seek employment to work in the cleanup efforts may find it challenging to find out exactly what needs to be done to get involved.

Facebook has made a big point over the years of having real identities for its users, but it looks like that requirement is soon going to disappear, and users will able to use made-up names for more anonymity. Call it the Snapchat effect. According to a profile of Mark Zuckerberg published on Thursday in BusinessWeek — to mark the Facebook's 10th anniversary — the social network plans to let users log in anonymously in a set of new apps it is planning to release (for more on that app strategy, check out Josh's insightful look here). Paper, a new Facebook reading app out on Thursday, does require Facebook login, but that looks like it may now become the exception rather than the rule. Zuckerberg once described the idea of having two identities as showing a "lack of integrity," but he now says that real identity can be a millstone.

Liquor Store Sells To Minor
KSAL Staff - July 14, 2014 12:34 pm
One Salina store has been cited for selling alcohol to a minor in a sting by the Saline County Sheriff's Office.
On Saturday, July 12th the Sheriff's Office administered a controlled alcohol buy.
Working with the Alcoholic Beverage Control department, one male under the legal drinking age and one female minor entered into 27 establishments with one successful attempt made to buy alcohol.
According to Sheriff Glen Kochanowski, a clerk at Perry's Liquor, 1001 E. Crawford, sold alcohol to one of the minors.
The clerk was issued a citation for the transaction.

Don't look for Staffan Kronwall to be pining for the fjords of Jarfalla the morning after his roughest game in the National Hockey League.
The lanky Swede, the lowest drafted Maple Leaf (285th) to get this far with the club, is not easily discouraged.
"He has decided he wants to play in this league and he has done all the right things to make it happen," said Mike Penny, the Leafs player personnel director. "He's very mature for a 23-year-old. When he has to go down to the Marlies, he doesn't put his head between his legs and feel sorry for himself. He gets focused and he gets right back into it.
"He has prepared to make sacrifices. His brother (Nicklas) was picked first by the Detroit Red Wings and he knows how the NHL works."
The Leafs were slowly integrating Kronwall into their starting six when he suffered a knee injury in late November and missed a month. He returned to using his 6-foot-3 reach to great effectiveness in corner battles and has taken only 10 minutes in penalties.
He was even jumping into the rush like Bryan McCabe and Tomas Kaberle, with coach Pat Quinn's approval. So it will be interesting to see how he reacts after he was beaten on a couple of goals Tuesday night in Vancouver.
Thommie Bergman, the Leafs European scout, said Kronwall has shown uncanny ability to learn from his mistakes.
"He's one of those kids who absorbs everything he's told and is very coachable," said Bergman, who stayed with the Leafs after the recent world junior hockey championship to see some of his projects. "In Sweden, he was a pleasant surprise, even to me. He came right in and played in Djurgarden in the Elite League. I thought he was going to do a season in the American Hockey League, but he's a smart kid. They've been playing the same kind of (pre-NHL lockout) rules at home, where hooking and holding aren't called. But, for a big guy, he is very mobile and he reads the game well.
"He can still be another 15 pounds stronger in years to come. He's a skinny 210 right now and he'll get to 225 or 230 when he's fully grown."
Kronwall was picked 268 places behind Carlo Colaiacovo, his defence partner on Tuesday night.
"I was drafted in the ninth round and maybe a lot of people didn't know about me before I got here," Kronwall said.
"But last year, I had the experience of playing against a lot of guys who were in the NHL (moonlighting during the lockout). Playing against the best guys in the world, you always learn something new. I still feel I can play harder and more aggressive out there."

Bill would reauthorize C&O Canal citizen group for 10 more years
Last week, Maryland Congressmen Chris Van Hollen and John Delaney, and Virginia Congressman Frank Wolf introduced bipartisan legislation to reauthorize the Chesapeake & Ohio (C&O) Canal National Historical Park Commission and give the surrounding communities a voice in park planning and decisionmaking.
The C&O Canal National Historical Park spans approximately 185 miles along the old C&O Canal and towpath from Washington, D.C. to Cumberland, Md.
It encompasses Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia.
"The C&O Canal National Historical Park is a treasure in our community, with a long towpath popular with cyclists, hikers, and runners, hundreds of historic sites, and striking views of the Potomac River," said Congressman Van Hollen.
"The Commission allows the park to work cooperatively with its diverse neighbors in urban, suburban, and rural areas, ensuring that the community is heard and the park is supported."
"This legislation will help ensure that citizens and landowners using the C&O Canal in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and D.C. continue to have a voice when decisions are made," Congressman Wolf said.
"The canal, which George Washington worked so tirelessly to promote, must remain a beautiful part of our region."
"Local communities from Potomac to Cumberland share the C&O Canal National Historic Park and deserve a voice with the National Parks Service. The park is an important recreational and economic development asset for our region. The history of Western Maryland was shaped on the towpath of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal. Today, Western Maryland should have a say in how we can navigate the C&O Canal National Historic Park towards a brighter future," said Congressman Delaney.
The C&O Canal National Historical Park Commission was established along with the park in 1971.
With 19 members nominated by the park's neighboring jurisdictions and formally appointed by the Secretary of the Interior, it served as an official channel through which park management could seek input and receive advice on matters related to park policy. The legislation introduced last week would reauthorize the Commission for an additional 10 years.

While rummaging through my closet last week I was shocked to discover the scores for some of my first pieces—not my very first efforts exactly, but these were probably the first pieces that someone else actually performed, dating from the beginning of my undergrad.
These pieces come from one of the strangest periods in my life, compositionally speaking; they're from a time just after I figured out how to write something that wasn't an utter joke to my classmate/performers, but just before I was capable of creating something I might want to make available for future performances.
Looking through some of these older works, I began to contemplate the invisible line that separates my first "mature" composition (heavy quotes, there) from my so-called juvenilia. It's not like I gave the matter terribly serious thought back when I was in school, but surely there is some reason why I chose to draw the line in such a way and not any other. And since this decision was made long after the fact, could it also say something about where I then was headed, or wanted to be heading?
While it's natural on some level to perhaps edit the past to be more in line with the present, I don't believe this kind of thinking has played very much of a role in my decision to keep some works in circulation and not others. For me, it simply became evident that there was a growing quality gap between my oldest works and my more recent efforts, and after a while I just didn't feel particularly proud of sending certain pieces out. I occasionally pop out a piece now that I'm not too psyched about, but to me it feels like the kind of mistake that I would make, whereas sometimes those older works feel like the kind of mistakes I don't even want anything to do with!
As an advocate for Life Learning, I continue to wonder whether I will face a similar crisis around the year 2020 or so with the music I'm writing now. With composing the gap between conception and execution can be so large that sometimes I can't help but feel slightly "beyond" my newest work by the time I actually get to hear it performed.

^^ One benefit of this is that anytime someone who likes popular indie along those lines asks you for a recommendation, St. Vincent is something good and interesting but exactly in the right vicinity for them to like. I do wish her records sounded as good as she does live, though.
― oɔsıqɐu (nabisco), Tuesday, 15 December 2009 00:47 (seven years ago) Permalink
There's a lot to be said for doing something a billion times more interestingly and effectively than most! God, this is good stuff. This is what is meant by the word 'realised' in reference to albums. Also, 'uncategorisable'. Add 'The Neighbors' and possibly 'The Strangers' to my list of holy shit this is fucking amazing
This is indeed the sort of album which should appeal to a fairly wide market of at least slightly committed sonic enthusiasts. A recommendation as likely to work on me as on someone whose taste rarely gets more leftfield than Portishead, or someone who has completely renounced mainstream pop for Steely Dan or whatever.

I continue to be baffled by the love for this one, I still vastly prefer her debut to this one. I keep returning to it in the hopes of discovering what everyone else seems to be hearing in it but, nope, still just decent sounding to me.
― & other try hard shitfests (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 15 December 2009 01:53 (seven years ago) Permalink
Ha, this is exactly what I meant way upthread -- most of the terms you'd use to describe her music really do risk making her sound like "bearded American indie stuff beloved on National Public Radio." And to be honest with you, I would actually not argue that she's totally categorically distinct from that stuff. I really don't think she's that far away, unfashionable thought that might sound to some people. The difference is mostly just that she's a billion times more interesting and better at it than most. Artier, more graceful, more musical, better with mood, more imaginative, etc.
I'm sure most would say I'm way off base, but I hear a lot of Kate Bush in St. Vincent (at least in the lead single from the new album).
― Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 15 December 2009 02:26 (seven years ago) Permalink
The "Paint a black hole blacker" bits in "The Stranger" seem like an obvious Bushism.
― Monophonic Spree (Paul in Santa Cruz), Tuesday, 15 December 2009 02:33 (seven years ago) Permalink
I recently caught her performing on Austin City Limits and it was beautiful. The music had a very slow weight that reminded me of many things, L'Altra maybe. I listened to the album again and was mostly bored. Maybe her next album will caputre the magic of her live performances. Even her vocals are the album aren't as beautiful as they are live.
― Jacob Sanders, Tuesday, 15 December 2009 05:13 (seven years ago) Permalink
If she's that much better live than on record, I need to see her live badly, because her records are awesome. Prefer the new one to the debut, but only got the debut on Saturday. Seems a little tamer.

I would say that her records are v v compressed compared to live -- this can be true of a great many records v. live situations
― Astronaut Mike Dexter (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Tuesday, 15 December 2009 07:19 (seven years ago) Permalink
i don't hear anything beardy NPR dude about her music at all except that occasionally there are maybe hints of old timeyness to it - but it's much more urban (as opposed to rural, beardy, backwoodsy) sounding than that. glimpses of 1920s glamour rather than that old tyme music hall thing. she is, at her best, totally uncategorisable in the same way that classic old skool 4ad was: haunting, evocative, otherworldly and yet visceral and teeth and bones and blood and flesh rather than filmy ghosts
kate bush comparisons are so o_0 wtf becoz yes, all otherworldly gurl singer-songwriter auteurs must be cut from the same cloth and that is the ETHEREAL staitjacket oh yessss

I would say that her records are v v compressed compared to live
makes sense, you can hear it on the 'Marrow' intro where her "reach the parts that need oilin and fixin" line is a bit too low, quiet and lost in the choral haze.

closest comparison i hear is suzanne vega but honestly i tend to think that a lot for female singers with flatter, less emotive voices and avante-garde leanings

No, it's not that. What Paul in Santa Cruz heard is the best example of what I heard: "The "Paint a black hole blacker" bits in "The Stranger" seem like an obvious Bushism."
Actually, I don't think I've heard another artist that I've thought sounds like Kate Bush.
― Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 15 December 2009 13:09 (seven years ago) Permalink
(I should say that it's the way that portion of the song is arranged and sounds and maybe St. Vincent's delivery -- not the lyrics themselves -- that triggered the comparison for me)

Patrick Wolf sounds like Kate Bush occasionally, and very deliberately. Also dresses like her from time to time too. He has a penis.

But, yeah, while Annie Clark is v. attractive, the proper focus should totally be on the fact that she is a total musical genius.

Hi Peter,
I carefully copied and pasted the new code but when I went to look at my blog–it was blank, nothing showing! Cue sweaty palms and quick restore of the old code. I'd really like to have the "Read more" show up, so can you double-check that new code and/or let me know what to do differently?

Good to know. Maybe some of the workarounds I was using are now all fixed anyway. Will do the big update tonight!February 17, 2014 at 6:11 pm in reply to: Problem rearranging images in gallery upload #225016
Thanks, Devin. I didn't realize that 3.8 wasn't going to work with my version of the theme. The reason I didn't update the theme previously is that I had done quite a bit of customization a few years back and to be honest don't have great documentation on what I did–nor the time right now to spend figuring it out. Sounds like I need to make time. I viewed the video link, which was helpful. Is there some easy way to compare files to see what's different before just overwriting them? Guess I'll have to figure it out!

I just wondered if instead of all the backing up and theme updating, maybe it's possible for me just to add some custom css coding to my current theme to make the cufon rollovers show up? If so, can you share what that custom css would be? If not, I'll try the updating and overwriting, with fingers crossed.

Yay! Thanks so much.March 6, 2012 at 2:53 pm in reply to: Cufon hover not working with Flashlight #59767
I'm having the same hover issue with all the Cufon. Of course it's especially bad on the inert main menu. On one of my pages, where a list of links is in H2 Cufon font, I tried giving it an underline just to signify that the words were links. That did not take either. I've tried all the various css changes listed on this thread and in the forums, none made a difference. I'd hate to go back to Arial—any chance that this Cufon hover issue can be fixed? Thanks for letting us know…March 5, 2012 at 2:58 pm in reply to: How to make main Portfolio page images click through to galleries? #66373
Eureka! @dennkiel your video did the trick.
Here's what else I learned (which all seems obvious now):
• Under Portofolio Items "Add new" means "new portfolio entry" which is like a post. I thought maybe it meant new portfolio which confused me.
• The content area on this new entry is for text only. You designate the photos by uploading them to the item's Gallery area below.
• Before hitting Save, double check that you've chosen a gallery layout, like "flexible grid gallery." The default "background slider" shows nothing in the content area.
@bokehman I'm going to try the Category widget in a sidebar just to see how that works. I didn't think I wanted a sidebar on my Home page, but we'll see.
THANKS so much for your help, guys. If only I'd had this "down 'n dirty" video before embarking on my highly frustrating journey yesterday. You should make the video a sticky post at the top of this forum.

Thanks everyone for the tips, but I still need help.
I downloaded the theme again this morning (my sixth time). It did not work in the wordpress interface, so I turned to Filezilla. I haven't used FTP in years, so that took a while to sort out. But after FTPing the theme, it is still not showing up in the WP Theme manager. All I see in my CPanel under WP-content>Themes are the following files for Flashlight: documentation>assets; license; plugins; psd.zip 1.6 2Mb; version_flashlight.rtf. I have never seen a flashlight.zip file. I know something's wrong because this looks nothing like what's in the 2011 Theme folder right below it, which has dozens of files.
I can't believe I'm getting so hung up on Step #1. What am I missing (or better yet, what is my download missing?)
Thanks for any further tips.February 28, 2012 at 10:54 pm in reply to: Upload to WP is failing due to "The theme is missing the style.css" #65814
This is what the unzipped folder contains. Are any of these even theme files? It was downloaded directly from ThemeForest like this. I'll try Filezilla next but I don't understand why this theme is different to upload than others.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A groom became "handsy" with a pregnant waitress at his wedding reception, got into a fight with her boyfriend and then assaulted the police officers who showed up at the fracas, police said.
Mark Williams, 33, of Crafton, was charged with riot, harassment and resisting arrest Monday in the altercation during his wedding cruise aboard the Gateway Clipper.
According to a criminal complaint, Williams touched the waitress several times and tried to pour a drink down her throat. She reportedly called her boyfriend just after the boat docked, around 1 a.m.; when he showed up, he and the groom got into a scuffle.
The groom's brother, off-duty state trooper David Williams, is accused of assaulting two Pittsburgh police officers called to the scene. David Williams, 35, of Plum, faces the same charges as the groom, plus obstructing law enforcement and disorderly conduct.
Mark Williams declined to comment to reporters outside court Monday.
State police spokeswoman Maria Finn confirmed that a trooper had been arrested during the reception. She said the trooper has worked for the state police since November 2003 and is assigned to the Kiski Valley barracks, about 30 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. He is on leave, she said.
A third man at the wedding reception is charged with punching out the window of a parked car.
The server's boyfriend acknowledged fighting with Mark Williams but wasn't criminally charged, police said.

Somerset's Emerson gets to start in first year of CC
There are athletes that emerge every year and become forces within their sport.
Somerset sophomore Monica Emerson is a prime example.
In her first year of competing in cross country, Emerson qualified for the 2008 WIAA State Cross Country Championships that were held on Saturday in Wisconsin Rapids. Emerson continued to advance her skills, placing 70th among 152 runners in the girls Division 2 state race.
The Middle Border Conference girls gave an outstanding showing at the state meet and Emerson was part of that success. MBC champion Kayla Wagner of Baldwin-Woodville placed second in the Division 2 state race and Osceola's Brea Tinney was fourth in this race.
Emerson was the sixth finisher among MBC girls in the state meet and four of those five conference girls in front of her were seniors.
Emerson had a strong support system at the state meet. Current team captain Nicole Donohoe and three of next year's captains, Casey Land, Annie Plourde and Tia Belter, accompanied Emerson through all of her warmups for the race.
Spartan coach Diane Belter said her concern was that Emerson would go out to strongly at the start of the race.
"If you start that race too hard it will bite you. That second half (of the course) is tough," Belter said.
Emerson did start the race a bit too aggressively and it caused her to fade a bit as she went through the numerous hills in the second half of the course. But as the runners approached the final hill that leads into the home stretch, Emerson made a strong final kick and was able to pass by a group of runners to move back up to 70th.
"Monica does have a pretty good good kick. She's got some natural speed that'll help her in that area," Coach Belter said.
Belter praised Emerson's attitude. She has a bit of a wide-eyed innocence and willingness to listen and trust that coaches love to see in their athletes. That attitude helped her achieve a great deal, especially when you consider that she'd never run further than a mile competitively before the start of this season.
"No matter what I asked her to do, she fulfilled it," Belter said. "For a first-year cross country runner she did incredibly well."

In the "restaurants up for sale" category, we've learned that La Giada on Bloomfield Ave in Montclair is on the block. The business is listed for $135,000, and for those that are keeping track, that's along with Church Street Cafe at $750,000, and the mystery restaurant, listed for $1,050,000, which is looking more and more like Leone's. For $135,000, buying La Giada may just be cheaper than redoing my kitchen, and I wouldn't have to cook anymore. Anyone want to go halfsies?

I could just wait until this bathroom comes back in vogue. Subway tiles are all the rage, so why not avocado formica. Seriously, got a quote for a renovation of this bath at a local kitchen/bath shop. I'm still dealing with sticker shock — $20-$25,000, not counting materials (i.e. shower, toilet, sink, tile, etc.) Just so we're clear, we're not talking a master bath, no Jacuzzi tub, bidet, or even towel warmers. We're just looking to bring this baby up to speed. Are you surprised, or is this merely the cost of living and using the loo? If you've recently done a similar job for less, post your experience here.

You read it here, and it has since become a hot topic among Cooleristas, many of whom are not willing to give up the ghost of a secret pool, despite floorplans of the Mount Hebron school's basement and other hard evidence.
When I was at Mt. Hebron, there was this dead end section in the back and locked doors leading from the locker room and from outside. Whereever they went we weren't allowed and the teachers said it was the pool….someone drowned and they closed it.
We admit we'd like to know what lies behind those locked doors, if they, in fact, exist? If there is a pool, does that cancel plans for the one at Elm Street? And who's going to write the letter to Weird NJ? The story's longevity may have something to do with an eerily familiar bit of folklore that appeared as The Tale of The Deadman's Float, an episode of Nickelodeon's now-defunct Are You Afraid of the Dark?

Missed the Oscars last night, but after a quick perusal of People and Entertainment Weekly, I feel completely caught up. For those who enjoy seeing best/worst dressed, they've got the photos, as well as some backstage banter from Chris Rock and others…
Talking about the victories of Morgan Freeman (Best Supporting Actor for Million Dollar Baby) and Jamie Foxx (Best Actor for Ray), Rock said, "It always feels good to see some color in the room that don't have mops." On the same subject, Freeman said, "It means that Hollywood is continuing to make history. Life goes on. Things change. They never stay the same. So we're evolving with the rest of the world."

We're just saying, 15 minutes before the Oscars begins, that Baristaville may not be the greatest indicator of who will win Best Picture. (And if The Aviator wins, it's Ohio's fault.)
