ESPN's Fantasy Hockey League (FHL) orientation was created to provide first-time users a means of familiarizing themselves with the game and its features. If you have not yet created a FREE ESPN account, click here. To purchase a team, please see the Tour, or click on the link off the Other Sports frontpage. To learn more about fantasy games in general, read our fantasy games introduction page.
For first time participants, playing ESPN's FHL can seem a little daunting. If you've never played a fantasy game before -- or are new to the internet -- trying to figure out what to do with your new team can be a bit confusing. But playing the game seems like an open-net breakaway once you know how it all works. Follow this step-by-step guide to getting your team primed for the start of the season, and that fiercely sought-after FHL championship could be yours!
Step 1 - Familiarize yourself with the FHL 2004 layout.
Take a look at the Other Sports frontpage. From this page you can log in to your account, access your team, check resource links and peruse injury updates. You can also access the rules. This walkthrough will occasionally provide links to the rules, where you can read full explanations of some of the game's trickier parts. While it's possible to muddle your way through without reading the rules pages, you're bound to miss something. Before firing off an e-mail to the Commish's office, be sure to give the rules and FAQ a close look. Remember, if you need your account information updated or you simply forgot your password, you can access Member Services for immediate assistance. Now that you have an idea where some of the resources can be found should you run into any trouble, you are ready to begin preparing your team for the season.
Step 2 - Setting up your team
Click on your default team name (i.e. Smith 99875843) from the right hand column of the Other Sports frontpage. From your preseason team setup page, you will find links to several vital FHL start-up procedures:
Team Name - Pick a good one. This name will be how your team is identified. Type in the desired Location and Nickname of your team (i.e. Dallas Cowboys) and click on the submit button. ESPN.com encourages franchise owners to keep their team names professional and free of racial slurs or other obscenities. The Commissioner reserves the right to change/remove any teams whose team name are construed as offensive.
Team Logo - Design your own goalie mask. Complete with a dizzying array of logos and colors from which to choose. Give your team its own identity with a mask that lets your opponents know you mean business.
Edit Your Personal Profile - Everyone who plays ESPN Fantasy Games gets a personal profile which allows other owners to learn about them. Clicking on your name next to "Owner" will bring you to your profile page. ESPN.com encourages franchise owners to be creative with their profiles and to keep them free of racial slurs or other obscenities. Misuse of profile pages can be grounds for dismissal from the game.
Step 3 - Joining/Creating a League
Now that your team is named, it is time to join up with the FHL owners against whom you'll compete. You have the option of either joining an existing league or creating your own league with your own specifications. You must join a league in order to compete in FHL. If you do not join a league by the start of the season, you will be automatically entered in one. There are many things to consider when joining a league. Each league has its own set of parameters, allowing fantasy team owners to compete in the FHL game type of his or her choice. Below is a list of the available options.
Access - Leagues are either public or private (see above). Public leagues are open for everyone to join. A private league requires a password, chosen by the league's creator, to enter.
Draft Type - Teams may draft using the multi-list, single-list or live draft methods. Draft methods and dates are detailed in the draft methods section.
Activity/Uber Level - The activity/uber level is determined by the league creator when the league is first created, and it is intended to help owners with similar levels of experience and interest form a league. Leagues take on the Uber level of the teams they contain. The five levels of Uber activity are, from low to high: Prospect, Rookie, Veteran, All-Star, and MVP. A player of any activity level is free to join any league. Check out the Uber Game for more information. Although a player of any activity level is free to join any league, please check the Uber guidelines to see which category best describes your interest level. Playing in a league where owners share the same views on trades, waiver pickups, etc. generally makes the game more enjoyable.
Season Type - Leagues are either single season leagues or keeper leagues competing over the next three seasons. Only keeper teams can join keeper leagues.
League Size - 8, 10, and 12 team league sizes are available. The league size will be set by the league creator. Due to different sizes, 8-, 10- and 12-team leagues all have different head-to-head schedules.
Date - Listed in the League Directory. The creation date indicates what day your league was originally created, while the draft date details what day your league's draft will be processed.
For more information on leagues and league parameters click here.
To join an existing league, click on the league name to view the league settings, and then click the "Join This League" button to place yourself in the league. You will need the league password if it's a private league. Remember, some leagues only allow access to particular teams (i.e. keeper leagues and winner leagues).
To create a league, click on the 'Create a League' link accessible from the league directory page or the 'Create New League' link from your team page. You will need to select the league name, league motto and parameters for your league. You will not be able to change these parameters after creating the league, you would instead need to create a new league with the desired settings.
Once you have set up your team and joined or created a league, you are ready to begin preparing your team for the draft. Remember, if you haven't joined a league and are in the independent team pool, you must mark your team as "Ready" for the draft after editing your draft lists. Teams can always mark themselves as "Unready" if they want to alter their draft lists.
Step 4 - The Draft
There are three types of drafts in FHL 2006: single-list drafts, multi-list drafts and live drafts. Participants have the option of enabling Insta-Draft, which automatically places you in a league at the next available draft date.
DRAFT TIP: Regardless of what type of draft your team participates in, you will benefit from ranking your players before the draft. You can rank all of the players to match your own preferences by clicking on the links for either the HTML or Java ranking tools. Do your homework, as this is the single-most important part of building a successful team. Only the listed players are available for ranking -- rookies and/or players who deserve player-pool consideration will be added throughout the season. If you do not rank your players, your team will use the default rankings. These are based on a combination of a player's previous statistics and their projected performance.
Review of draft types:
Multi-List - The multi-list automated draft method is the easiest method to use and is the recommended draft option for first-time FHL owners. Owners rank players in each of the ten draft positions (see table below) prior to draft day. The order of the draft is randomly chosen and determines the slot where each team will select from
Single List - The single-list draft method is an automated draft that combines all of the ten ranking categories of the multi-list draft into one comprehensive draft list. By ranking goalies, forwards and defensemen in the same draft list, the single-list draft method allows team owners to draft the best player available at any given draft spot, regardless of position.
Live - The live draft provides the experience of a real-time, player-by-player draft process. Owners participate in each round of the draft by taking turns selecting players. The live draft can last up to three hours.
The draft days for the regular season game begin in September and run intermittently through the start of the regular season on Wednesday, October 5 and even a week or so beyond. Team owners have until midnight Pacific Time on the day before their draft to alter their player rankings. Drafts are run throughout the listed day and team owners will be notified via e-mail when the draft is complete. Live drafts take place at pre-selected time on the day in question. The league creator chooses the day and time from the available slots. The specific time and day are listed on the league page.
Once your draft has been run, things start getting exciting. Now you've got a team of your own. It has your name, and is populated by the players you ranked and/or picked in the draft. It is time to take the ice in FHL!
Step 5 -The Regular Season
Each team drafts 21 players onto their team: 17 active and 4 bench players. On any given day of NHL play, you earn points only for players on your active roster. Players must be inserted into a team's active roster by 11:59 p.m. PT the previous night in order to count for the following day.
Shifting players
In addition to your original 21 players, you also have the opportunity to add players through the use of waivers, free agency and trades:
Waivers - A holding tank for players that are new to a league's unclaimed player pool. Every player on waivers has a date-stamp next to their name listing the day that player becomes a free agent. You can make a "pending claim" for the player, or wait to see if he becomes a free agent. If you do make a pending claim for a player and receive him, remember that you drop to the last waiver position in your league. As other owners make successful claims, you'll gradually move back up the rankings. See Waivers And Free Agency for more information.
Free Agency - An area for all players who are not on a fantasy team in your league and have cleared waivers. These players can be picked up on a first-come, first-serve basis without affecting a team's waiver position. See the Transactions page for all the details.
Trading - Teams in the same league are free to trade at will. If a trade is discovered that appears to be collusive or one-sided to the point that it cannot benefit one of the parties involved, league members may protest the trade and send it on to the League Office for review (as long as trade review is enabled - see 'turning off trade review' in the Trade Overview page).
FHL head-to-head play begins with the start of the NHL's regular season on Wednesday, October 5. Your team's schedule is linked off your team's Clubhouse page.
Good luck and we'll see you on the ice!

Lomopedia: Leica M32013-10-14 1 15 Share Tweet
A landmark camera for Leica, the M3 is a 35mm rangefinder camera that was introduced in 1954 and came with several notable features. Find out more about this Leica beauty in this installment of Lomopedia!
The camera that marked a new starting point for Leitz (now Leica Camera AG), the M3 was introduced in 1954 and noted for ushering several improvements to Leica cameras. Previous models only had screw-mounts, and the M3 came with a new bayonet lens mount called the Leica M mount (still used to this day). Aside from this, the M3 also had a combined viewfinder and rangefinder in a single bright window, similar to that of the Contax II.
According to Ken Rockwell, the M3 is the best that Leica has ever made (makes sense that it's Leica's best selling model of all time), and is considered by many as the world's best camera ever.

In response to Sandy Leyda's letter "Adoption sure is costly" (Dec. 15):
My wife and I recently decided to adopt a child. We too were surprised that the cost for a domestic adoption could reach as high as $20,000. Most adoption agencies supplement total adoption costs through private donations, and they use a sliding scale to determine how much a couple will contribute to their own adoption fees. If you are in a lower income bracket, more of your adoption fees will be subsidized by third-party donors.
The actual costs are for the caseworker's time associated with the application processing; matching birth mothers to adoptive parents; performing home studies that are required by the state; fees associated with background checks, a GBI clearance and an FBI clearance; possible medical care for the birth mother; and for legal fees necessary for the legal processing of the adoption.
Unfortunately, my wife and I fall in a higher income bracket, and so far have not qualified for any adoption scholarships or grants. Since we only recently discovered that we are unable to have our own children, we do not have any funds set aside for our adoption. We are exploring numerous fund-raising options.

Colorado's establishment left claims Republican senatorial candidate Ken Buck has a problem with women. Apparently he is "insensitive." But it's really appointed Democratic Senator Michael Bennet and his supporters who have the problem.
Last week, the most recent Rasmussen poll had Buck ahead of Bennet by 7 percentage points. With Buck's polling trend at or above the magic 50 percent number, the desperate Democrat turned to gender politics, trying to scare women into the voting booth.
Bennet and his supporters seem to view women as ovaries and fundraising opportunities. His campaign has spent thousands of dollars attacking Buck's stance on abortion.
Rational women know that abortion is legal in Colorado and every other state because of Roe v. Wade. Also, Buck's stance on abortion is much more nuanced than what his opponents claim, causing one pro-life group to withdraw its support.
The disproportionate attention to abortion prompted Denver Post editorial page editor Dan Haley to write: "No one in 2010 is talking about social issues except Bennet. This election is about the economy. It's about jobs. It's about taxes. It's about health care. It's about the debt. It's about voter anger."
The obsession with abortion gave way to exploitation of a date rape victim. In 2005, Ken Buck, in his capacity as Weld County District Attorney, decided not to prosecute a case of date rape that several experts said was not winnable. He explained to the victim how a jury likely would interpret her case, but the leftist group ProgressNow and others hope to gin up some indignation by claiming the 5-year-old case is just another example of Buck's insensitivity towards women.
Colorado Springs Gazette editorial page editor Wayne Laugesen blasted ProgressNow's exploitation of the date rape victim:
ProgressNow is using the case in a disgusting effort to portray Republican candidate Ken Buck, the Weld County district attorney, as a monstrous misogynist who approves of rape. It may be the lowest point in a political season that's known for its sleazy, deceptive, negative campaigns.
The Colorado Democrat party turned it into a fundraising effort. Party Chair Pat Waak warned first and then asked in an email:
Ken Buck's disturbing issues with women have been apparent since the Republican primary. Here at the Colorado Democratic Party, we can't believe Coloradans want a man like this as U.S. Senator. But we have to have the resources to reach voters before they return their ballots. Can you contribute $25, $50 or even $100 now…
Despite all the Buck-is-anti-woman rhetoric (wonder what his wife and daughter think), he still leads in most polls (though the latest Rasmussen poll has the two candidates in "a virtual tie." Buck is only "slightly behind" Bennet with female voters -- in a state that saw 56 percent of women vote for Barack Obama and Democrat Senator Mark Udall.
Why aren't more women falling for the reproductive fear factor? The bottom line is that many women see this tactic for what it is, an attempt to distract female voters from the real issues that affect their lives and the lives of the families.
A summer time survey of "Walmart moms," who make up a whopping 16 percent of the total electorate, revealed that the economy weighs heavy on their minds:
Sixty-one percent say the economic downturn has personally affected them. Right now, these moms are doing whatever is necessary just to make ends meet including skipping trips to the doctor, buying less expensive birthday and holiday gifts, putting off home and car repairs, and spending less overall.
Perhaps worse for Bennet, who voted for the health care reform bill, most of the Walmart moms don't like the sweeping legislation. And, sadly, half of them fear that the current state of the economy will drive them into a lower economic class.
Ken Buck gets this. He is talking about the issues that affect all women -- government spending, jobs and growing the economy so we can reduce our national debt.
As long as Michael Bennet employs the anti-abortion bogeyman, he will be the one with the woman problem because he is stuck in the worn-out, victimization paradigm that so many on the left perpetuate. Hopefully November 2 will prove to be a small step towards a new era that sees women for what they are -- agents of choice in their own lives.

Five seconds into the second half, Chris Paul picked up a steal and Matt Barnes finished when Paul missed a reverse layup.
Less than a minute into the third period, the Clippers had run off six points to hike their lead to 39 points and then, finally, there were some boos for the Lakers at Staples Center.
There might not have been enough fans left by the end to release their frustration after the Clippers scored a 142-94 thrashing that was about as lopsided as any NBA game could be.
ōWe took a body blow and it looked like it just took us to our knees,ö Lakers coach Mike DÆAntoni said. ōFor whatever reason, maybe we couldnÆt finish and make plays or anything. They smelled blood in the water and they killed us.ö
It was the ClippersÆ largest winning margin in their history at 48 points, eclipsing the previous mark of 45. The Lakers equaled the worst loss in their history.
Maybe the ClippersÆ 60-20 run to close the first half was still being digested by Lakers fans who watched their team being dismantled on its own court.
It started with what brings a smile to Clippers coach Doc Rivers Ś defense. They held the Lakers to 39.5 percent shooting, stopped their 3-point shooting and forced 22 turnovers.
ōYou can feel us starting to believe in our defense and being in the right spots,ö Rivers said. ōWhat I like now is every time one of them is not there, they point at themselves right away, they know it. I would prefer them not to do that and be there, but theyÆre getting there and theyÆre taking ownership when theyÆre not.
ōIf we can get four stops, five stops, six in a row, thereÆs a chance weÆre going to get a couple of fast breaks in that stretch and thatÆs what weÆre keying it on.ö
Four Clippers had double-doubles before sitting out the entire fourth quarter. The one starter who didnÆt have a double-double was Darren Collison, who had to settle for being the gameÆs high scorer with 24 points.
The Clippers had 34 fast-break points and led by as many as 51 points.
The Lakers held a 20-13 lead midway through the first quarter when the court tilted. By halftime, the Clippers held a 73-40 advantage. ThatÆs a 60-20 run for those scoring at home.
ōGoing in yelling and screaming is not going to help a lot,ö DÆAntoni said. ōThereÆs nobody happy over there (in the locker room) and everybody knows theyÆre embarrassed.ö
Blake Griffin had 20 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists and a devastating dunk off a lob from Paul that served as the eveningÆs exclamation point. Barnes had 17 points and 12 rebounds, DeAndre Jordan had 14 points and 12 rebounds and Paul had 13 points and 11 assists.
Only Pau Gasol, with 21 points, was doing anything for the Lakers in their era of small ball, going with shooters to surround Gasol. Xavier Henry finished with 15 points and Kent Bazemore had 14.
It seemed like all the Clippers needed was to avoid overconfidence. If they needed to hear that they actually lost to the Lakers on opening night, Rivers wasnÆt going to bring it up.
ōWe can say that we never looked at that and that it never crossed our minds, but it did,ö Collison said. ōWe knew this game was about us. We came out in the second half and we were up by 20-plus points, we told each other this is about us. WeÆve got bigger goals right now. No disrespect to the Lakers, thatÆs a very good team, but we want to accomplish something big.ö
It was one thing to see Griffin and Paul control their parts of the game, but Collison had 22 points midway through the third period and Barnes continued his hot streak.
In the previous six games, Barnes was shooting 51.3 percent on 3-pointers. He made two of his first four against the Lakers and was one of three Clippers with a double-double in the third period.
ōJust playing free,ö Barnes said of his recent outburst. ōMy mind was on a few different things going into the trade deadline, hearing a lot of rumors, really almost being traded and then the last minute it not happening.
ōSo I just decided to let all that go and go out there and play free. Whatever capacity IÆm called upon IÆll be ready to do.ö

Whether you favor the recent controversial gun buy-back program funded by local tax money through local churches, or oppose it because it's mere feel-good political correctness, you'll share common ground with Supervisor "Special Ed" Moore.
That's because Moore, who voted to spend the money for the program, really doesn't think it's effective.
Here's exactly what Ed said when queried by a group called "Brass Roots," which is currently pressing Pima County for what it claims is the illegal expenditure of tax dollars on the program. The following is Moore's quote from the group's current newsletter:
"This type of thing has been done around the country...it makes everybody feel good. It may work the first few days, but it's ahh...ahh, I'm going to support it because I think local government should be showing the public they're interested in getting involved in stopping crime--although I accept the fact that this may not have a lot to do with it. Ahh...it may in fact incite more crime by people who steal guns to turn it in for fifty dollars. Ahh...that has happened in other communities. Ahh...if you were giving a hundred dollars I would be against it because that is enough money to make somebody go out and steal four or five shotguns from somebody's gun cabinet and turn it in."
So he supports it because "local government should be showing the public that they're interested in getting involved in stopping crime"? We thought you did that in the budget process for the sheriff's department, the county attorney's office and the courts.
By "showing" them something you believe doesn't work, aren't you merely pandering, Ed?

SKS not cycling
I picked up an SKS recently but it won't cycle ammunition. I tried pickup a Tapco mag, but the cartridge just gets hung halfway. Could the spring be wore out? If so, where would I pick up a new one?
When you say "hung half way" are you saying the round is being stripped off the clip my the face of the bolt and then gets hung, or is it getting hung halfway in the lower part of the mag?
It is only being pushed halfway out of the mag.
Is the bolt face making proper contact with the base of the cartridge? Is the bolt impacting the side of the case body and denting the case about half way down? Is the nose of the bullet sticking against the the front of the receiver or otherwise failing to clear into the breech.
Could be one or more of several problems. If the case is getting dented on the side the gun is short cycling. Clean the gas tube, piston and gas port. Leave these parts dry. Oil in the gas system will gum up and become very sticky.
If the nose is sticking, it could be a weak mag spring or feed lips that are out of whack.
FWIW, the SKS was designed around a 10 rd non-detachable magazine. Almost without exception, have heard complaints from everyone that has tried detachables, extended mags, aftermarket mags, etc. Sorry- wish I had magic wand that could fix for ya- but the SKS just does not seem to like those (and mine loads darned fast with stripper clips)
There are reportedly only two detatchable mags that work well with the SKS. The Topco 20 rounder and the Rifletech mags 37 rounder. The rifletechs are extrememly expensive.

ATLANTA — State civil engineers said Monday that while Georgia has "bright spots" in its infrastructure, it also has areas of serious concern, particularly dams and transit and stormwater systems.
"These challenges must be met," said Daniel Agramonte of the Georgia Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers. "Georgia must eliminate the backlog of deficiencies, substandard roads, bridges, water systems and other infrastructure systems.
"This will keep us from inhibiting commerce and keep us from stifling economic growth."
The organization issued its "2014 Report Card for Georgia's Infrastructure" at the state Capitol on the state legislature's opening day. Infrastructure is considered to be public services, systems or institutions that serve communities.
The report, which can be found at ascega.org/georgia-report-card, gave Georgia infrastructure an overall C grade. Aviation had the highest grade, B-plus, and dams, transit and stormwater systems were graded at D-plus or below.
Also faring not so strongly were roads and bridges, with each getting a C-minus.
In compiling the grades, a team of volunteer civil engineers assessed hundreds of public records over the past year.
In a nutshell, according to the group, Georgia's infrastructure has failed to improve over the past five years.
The report notes Georgia ranks 49th in the nation in per capita transportation spending and is among the lowest in the country in transit spending per resident.
Other key points:
The state's Safe Dams Program has faced more than a 50 percent cut in staff since 2003, with each safety official now expected to oversee more than 1,000 dams, or five times the national average.
MARTA is the largest transit agency in the country to not receive state funding support for operations.
Georgia's state motor fuel excise tax, which funds surface transportation projects. is one of the lowest in the United States.
"From the Atlanta airport to the Port of Savannah, Georgia is a major player in the global economy," said Kat Gurd, president of the state engineers group.
"This report card shows that our connections to that economy are ailing, hurt too often by underfunding and increasing congestion. If we want to be the gateway to Southeastern commerce, we must deepen the Port of Savannah, increase our transportation funding and modernize our infrastructure."
Agramonte, co-chairman of the Infrastructure Report Card Committee, said, "One only needs to look at the Kia manufacturing plant in West Point to see how infrastructure can make a huge impact."
The car company moved to Georgia to take advantage of the Interstate 85 corridor, with the result being thousands of jobs and new businesses and auto suppliers moving to Georgia to be close to Kia, he said.
"Now is the time to invest to make sure they stay and help us attract more like them."
State Sen. Butch Miller, R-Gainesville, said after the presentation that he agreed with the report's overall grade.
"We have not invested in infrastructure that is commensurate with the growth of the state," he said.
Miller is vice chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee.
One area of the report that hits close to home — particularly as it relates to Lake Lanier and Hall County's planned 850-acre Glades Reservoir in North Hall — is drinking water, which got a C-plus.
"Water quality continues to improve as new processes are implemented in response to stricter regulations and public expectations," the report states.
"Capacity of water infrastructure has had a chance to 'catch up' as development slowed during the economic downturn.
"However, the corresponding reduction in water revenues has limited reinvestment in existing infrastructure, and formal asset management programs need to be adopted at all water utilities."
The report cites the Governor's Water Supply Program, founded in 2011. Its aim was to commit $300 million from various sources over four years for reservoir and water supply development.
Last year, Glades made the short list for up to $40 million from the program.
The Hall County application asked for slightly more than $14.5 million, but the final amount will be negotiated with the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority and officials with the Environmental Protection Division, GEFA spokesman Shane Hix has said.
Water "withdrawal rates will escalate with increased population and conversely will be partially mitigated by improved water conservation measures," the engineers' report states.

ON behalf of Labour councillors representing local communities in CWAC, I would like to wish everyone a very happy and peaceful Christmas and New Year.
It has been a difficult year again for many with the cost of living leading to people going without the essentials in life.
Without all the people who give their own time to help others we know that life would be much tougher so I would like to thank, in particular, those people who volunteer to make life a little easier for others: be it helping out at a food bank; the advice agencies we are fortunate to have; or the thousands of people who care for others, your help is appreciated.
Let us hope for a better 2014 for everyone.
Justin Madders Leader of the Labour Group CWA

All the rage about wearable tech is centered on what we can put on our face or wear on our wrist, but another area that should not be overlooked is what we wear on our ears.
You would not be alone in thinking that our Bluetooth headsets, paired to our smartphones, already fit that niche. To a point, you are correct, but direct interaction with the smartphone is required to get anything channeled to your earpiece, be it music or navigation.
Think of something a little more autonomous, like in the movie Her. Embedded in this creation by Kazuhiro Taniguchi of Hiroshima City University, is a device that has a compass, barometer, speaker, microphone, gyro-sensors and GPS. It is called Ear Switch.
In the concept video below, it takes on a role of an augmented audio reality of sorts. The device is meant to be interactive too. It will be able to pick up subtle inputs from the user by how he or she opens their mouth. Tied together with head movements, the combination of commands can provide traffic information, point-of-interest information or directions.
So much of the content we deal with in mobile is visually related, but the Ear Switch has a form factor that is discrete. Mr. Taniguchi showcased the device at a business fair this past January. He is hoping to team up with a major manufacturer to bring this device to market sometime in 2015.

Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Chapel and the River Club, December 2, 2006
Click to Read Their StoryPhotographs by Edward Keating
I wore two dresses. The first was from a Bergdorf sample sale. The second was a girlie party dress for the reception so I could move.
We had five coursesone too many. Each had a wine pairing because thats important to my father and Walter. Hence, all the glasses on the tables.
I really wanted vintage Champagne glasses and cupcakes, and an old-school menu that was a marriage of North and South. (I was raised in Georgia.) We served collard greens and peach cobbler.
I couldnt be bare-shouldered in church and Walters mom asked me to wear her white-mink capelet. It was a dilemma. She was so sweet about it, but I used to work for the ASPCA and do not wear fur. The girls I work with at Oscar de la Renta sent me this sweater as a wedding gift.
Our first dance was to Frank Sinatras Night and Day. We took classes to learn a fox-trot. But when we got up there, I panicked. All I could do was step from side to side.

Lunecase for iPhone uses electromagnetic radiation to bring you call and text notifications

Based on the massive number of iPhone add-ons for basic functionality, it is clear that the iPhone is all time winner of the "nothing included" consumer product award.
And what an amazing testament to Apple's insatiable greed. So insanely greedy, they will not spend a few cents for an LED.
3. PBXtech (Posts: 1032; Member since: 21 Oct 2013)
They don't need one, there's an app for that.
5. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3117; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
Very well said. Seriously, does anyone remember when the iPhone lacked the ability to copy and paste, send MMS? Or how about just the freaking ability to rotate your phone and text in landscape mode? So many basic features so many phones had and the all mighty super expensive iPhone could not do. This is one of the main reasons why people give so much crap to Apple. They charge you an arm and a leg and make you wait 2 generations or more to give you features that were standard back then.
2. Scott93274 (Posts: 5402; Member since: 06 Aug 2013)
I never knew the iPhone was missing the most basic of smart phone features... Very interesting...

While I don't put a case on my phone I think this is a smart choice
9. TechDork (Posts: 313; Member since: 10 May 2010)
When you accidentally drop it on the wrong surface at the wrong time, you'll wish you had a case on it then.
11. androiphone20 (Posts: 1654; Member since: 10 Jul 2013)
You're right, it's too risky and I even dropped it once. I usually put a case when I'm going out for a camping trip or something but that's it.

'Killing bin Laden' will provide 'second-by-second' account of the operation that led to the demise of the terrorist.
Since Osama bin Laden's death has become a hot topic on the last few days, Discovery Channel will air a one hour special that highlights the event. The network has lined up "Killing bin Laden" which "provides an intimate second-by-second account of the Bin Laden operation."
"Utilizing a global team of local reporters, fixers and cameras on the ground in Abbottabad, Pakistan," the special will detail how the operation was planned and executed, and the special ops involved in the operation. It will additionally provide scoop on the burial of bin Laden at sea.
"Killing bin Laden" will premiere on Sunday, May 15 at 10P.M. ET/PT. Encore airings will air on Discovery Communications' Military Channel, Science Channel ID and Planet Green in the U.S.
Osama bin Laden's death was announced by Barack Obama on Sunday, May 1. The U.S. President interrupted the primetime to deliver his speech on U.S. TV networks, saying "Tonight I can report to the American people and the world, the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda and a terrorist who's responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children."

"My fiance and myself are doing a non traditional wedding. We didn't exactly want a save the date or an invitation. But we did want a cute and crafty announcement. This fit us so well. The colors in the images I provided really popped and I used a purple backdrop on it. It came before it was suppose to, and I'm so pleased with my purchase. The quality of the magnet is also noticeable. I highly recommend this product and company. I will be back for future purchases for sure."
"After reading some of the reviews I was a little apprehensive, but I'm so glad I ordered the save the dates anyway. The delivery came 2 days early and the magnets looked amazing. There was a small scratch on a few, but nothing to freak out about. I don't give out 5stars, but I'm so happy with my purchase. Thank you!"
"Pictures that I used were printed exactly how I uploaded them. I was worried that the font I used might be hard to read but turned out beautifully! "Designer Review" option was great and had some helpful suggestions. Good quality product."
"We absolutely love our Save the Date magnets! We chose a snapsnot from our proposal (not a professional photograph), and the designer was so helpful in ensuring that the picture would not look overexposed or blurry. We chose the charcoal color, and it has a great modern vintage look with our snapshot and the modern lettering. The magnets came earlier than the estimated arrival date. Best of all, our family and friends love them!"
"It came exactly like I wanted it to. It looked amazing and it came almost a week earlier than they expect it to arrive which is always good!"

Murrieta residents will vote in November 2012 on whether to allow red-light cameras, the City Council decided at its meeting Tuesday.
Members of the Murrieta City Council and residents discussedthe use of red-light cameras in sometimes heated language beforethe vote.
After the Riverside County registrar of voters verified in mid-October that at least 10 percent of the city's voting public supports an election to decide whether the cameras should be used in the city, council members had three options to select from Tuesday: adopt the ban outright and require the removal of the cameras within 30 days, put the proposed ban on a city ballot, or request a report be drafted to analyze the effects of the proposed ban.
At 9:35 p.m., council members voted 4-0 with Kelly Bennett absent, to put the initiative on the November 2012 ballot.
All four, however, said they supported the Police Department's position that the cameras have significantly reduced the number of red light violations at three intersections where cameras are mounted.
Murrieta is the only city in Southwest County to use red-light cameras, with four cameras currently in the city. The cameras are at Clinton Keith Road and Nutmeg Street, two at Murrieta Hot Springs Road and Whitewood Avenue, and a fourth at Murrieta Hot Springs Road at Margarita Road.
Those intersections were chosen, police Cpl. Jay Froboese told council members, after thorough analysis of the top 15 collision-prone intersections.
Earlier this year, the Police Department proposed that council members consider adding cameras at two more intersections.
That proposal sparked a fury of protest, and a petition drive to qualify a ballot measure banning the cameras ensued.
Over the next 180 days, petition proponent Diana Serafin and others gathered at least 4,470 signatures of residents who want the right to vote on whether to use the cameras.
Speakers who attended the Tuesday hearing grew increasingly angry as they testified on both sides of the issue. Of 13 public speakers, six were vehemently opposed to the cameras and six others were in full support. One speaker said he disagreed with the high cost of the fine, which is roughly $500, but also said he understood the need for the cameras.
Tensions flared as the speakers contested the constitutionality of the cameras that they considered an over-reaching government effort to protect the public.
"I'm kind of fed up with the local, state and federal bureaucrats trying to make my life safe," resident Don Parsley said, adding that security cameras at banks and stores do not prevent all robberies. "Gentlemen, there's a risk in living. Get out of the business of trying to protect the citizens of Murrieta from any happenstance."
And those in support of the cameras also displayed frustration when they discussed the potential harm they face when careless drivers run red lights.
"I live near one of these camera intersections at Nutmeg and Clinton Keith (road)," resident Barbara Nugent said. "Someone lost a child or mother ---- I don't remember ---- and I think about it every time I go through there. I am so glad they're there. It's your duty at this level to enact laws that protect us to let us live in safety. I think the red-light cameras are one of the best things that happened to Murrieta."

Coffee farmers typically have very few choices about which varieties are available for them to plant. Their choices are limited by forces beyond their control—historical accident and colonial history on the one hand, and whether their country has a tradition of coffee research and development on the other. These constraints mean that coffee producers often plant seeds that are susceptible to disease or don't perform optimally in their area, leaving them doubly vulnerable. Until now no comprehensive effort had ever been made to locate the best-quality coffee varieties from around the globe and make them available to producers in different countries.
World Coffee Research has gathered 35 top-performing coffee varieties from 11 suppliers around the world and replicated them in sterile in-vitro cultures at the Agristarts phytosanitary lab in Florida. The varieties—most of which have never been tested on a broad basis—are being distributed to 23 coffee growing countries for planting on test plots.
On each plot, an exhaustive list of variables about the plot and the performance of each plant will be measured—including plant vigor, productivity, coffee leaf rust and other disease and pest incidence, bean characteristics, bean chemistry, and final cup quality. Each country can monitor how the different varieties perform under local conditions. The best-performing varieties can then be selected, multiplied and distributed to producers to increase supplies of quality coffee for those countries.
The IMLVT represents a coffee industry first. Never before has a global variety exchange taken place on this scale in the coffee industry. Never before have most countries had in their possession so many different varieties. In addition, more information is being made available to guide farmers about the best variety for their specifc needs, with the goal of improving profitability. This will result in widespread production and quality increases in as little as 5 years, and contributing to more sustainable farmer livelihoods and a stronger coffee sector.
In addition, the trial will serve as a platform to monitor disease movement and levels, interaction between environmental factors and quality, and climate trends.

IRVINE – In the wake of the city's intense debate over a proposal to add three friendship cities in Vietnam, Pakistan and China, a group calling itself the Intercultural Alliance of Irvine has demanded an apology in a strongly worded letter of protest sent to Mayor Steven Choi.
The City Council voted 3-2 on April 8 against adding any of the cities and asked staff to add language to its policy requiring any future cities to be from countries free of human rights violations. Councilman Larry Agran, who proposed adding the three cities, and Councilwoman Beth Krom dissented.
The alliance wants Baoji, China, and Karachi, Pakistan, to be reconsidered for friendship city status.
The letter says the alliance represents some 30,000 Chinese residents and concerned members of the city and accuses Choi and council members Jeff Lalloway and Christina Shea of exploiting the friendship city proposal for their own political agenda. Irvine has 27,362 Chinese residents, according to 2010 Census Bureau data.
Organizer Wenshan Jia said the group has collected 500 signatures for the petition seeking an apology from the Council and Baoji's inclusion as a friendship city. Jia said he plans to submit the signatures to the council at its meeting Tuesday, which starts at 4 p.m.
"As a result of the achievement of your narrow and outdated political agenda and petty politics, voting against all the cities proposed as friendship cities for Irvine, you have not only severely insulted the rights, dignity and pride of these important cultural constituencies of Irvine, you three have also blatantly discriminated against our cultural/ethnic heritages by equating our ethnic/cultural heritages with Communism," it reads.
It criticizes the council for allowing one group of ethnic Asians – Vietnamese – to dominate the debate and, in some cases, threaten speakers who supported a Chinese friendship city. The letter goes on to claim that most of the Vietnamese protesters in the crowd weren't Irvine residents.
"As public officials, to play such ethnic groups against each other to win political battles is not only a sign of recklessness and naked dirty politics, but also is doing the public and the civil society a grave disservice given the fact that public officials are expected to mediate and resolve inter-ethnic conflicts," the letter said.
Councilwoman Shea called the petition another political ploy.
"I'm not going to offer any sort of apology," she said Monday, adding that the Vietnamese protestors who crowded the Council chambers had every right to be there to protest Councilman Agran's proposal.
She suggested that Agran should be the one to apologize for creating unrest in the city. "I will never apologize for anything I haven't done," she said.
The city has had international incidents on its hands before. Several years ago, the city angered Taiwanese residents when an overture to China was mishandled by a city staffer. The Chinese city had agreed to "befriend" Irvine only if it ended its longtime relationship with the Taiwanese city.

Jennifer Aniston does not realize she has a baby from her best friend after Jason Bateman switches a guy's semen with his own.
Just days before "The Bounty Hunter" is released in U.S. theaters, another film starring Jennifer Aniston has started its campaign. And the first sneak peek to the film titled "The Switch" has made its way out via Apple.
Starring also Jason Bateman, the film tells the story of a single woman, Kassie, who wants to have a baby through artificial insemination. But one drunk night has made Kassie's plans go awry as her best friend Wally switches someone's semen with his own.
After seven years passed, Wally finally finds out that Kassie's son carries his blood because the boy has a neurotic problem similar to him. Now, he is determined to be a good father for his child without telling Kassie the truth.
Jennifer Aniston plays Kassie while Jason Bateman takes the role of her neurotic friend, Wally. They are additionally joined by Patrick Wilson, Jeff Goldblum and many others on the cast ensemble. This romantic comedy, which is initially titled "The Baster", will be dropped in theaters across the U.S. on August 20.

Mugabe calls for unity
Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe has called for national unity, after his governing Zanu-PF party suffered serious electoral reverses for the first time since the country's independence.
The opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) won 57 seats against Zanu-PF's 62 in the elections over the weekend.
The combined opposition has never held more than three seats before.
Racial divide
Mr Mugabe, 76, appoints a further 20 members to the 150-seat parliament, giving Zanu-PF a comfortable majority.
The president could further benefit from the election of 10 traditional chiefs to parliament later, at least some of whom are likely to be loyal to his party.
But the MDC will provide his first credible opposition since independence 20 years ago.
He said Zimbabwe needed unity more than ever before "across race, tribe, ethnicity, across regions, across class."
During the election campaign, Mr Mugabe branded the
opposition as puppets of the country's small, but
economically powerful, white community and stooges of
Britain, the former colonial power.
UK Foreign Secretary Robin Cook has called on Mr Mugabe to make a fresh start, and work with the opposition.
Mr Cook said the strong result for the opposition showed a real wish for change.
Violent campaign
The voting on Saturday and Sunday came after months of violence that left more than 30 people dead, which European Union observers said was largely carried out by government supporters.
Mr Mugabe, referring to critics among the observer force, said: "Some... much in the mould of the
Victorian civilising mission, thought they had come to pacify, give
virtue, and thus redeem us, the natives.

Heavy Warrior (重戦士) is a Class in the Valkyrie Profile series that uses Broadswords. Heavy Warriors are referred to as Heavy Knights in Valkyrie Profile and as Warriors (or Warrioress for female equivalent) in Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume. Heavy Warriors are noted for their high-damaging attacks and superior durability. They are a male dominant class with its sole female member appearing in Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume.
Valkyrie ProfileEdit
Heavy Knights of Valkyrie Profile specialize in dealing and withstanding large amounts of damage. No other character class boasts a higher STR stat or possesses a higher HP stat growth rate. Coupled with access to many powerful armors Heavy Warriors are the one best option for tanks. Additionally, two out of the three Heavy Knights' Purify Weird Soul increase the gauge by over 60, allowing for a full Purify Weird Soul combo string.
Heavy Knights are able to equip 18 different Greatswords as their main choice of armament. Heavy Knights can also equip 20 lighter swords as well for a total of 38 swords.
- Two-Handed-Sword
- Hack-Blade
- Long Sword
- Dragon Slayer
- Broad Sword
- Ruin's Fate
- Elemental Edge
- Flare Baselard
- Zweihander
- Striking-Sword
- Vainslayer
- Bastard Sword
- Grand Sting
- Moonflax
- Beast Slayer
- Ignite Sword
- Glare Sword
- Icicle Sword
- Claymore
- Flamberge
- Estoc
- Daemon Slayer
- Infernas
- Violet Forge
- Flamberg
- Brandish-Sword
- Brutish-Edge
- Wassail-Rapier
- Arectaris
- Gram
- Bahamut Tear
- Valkyrie-Favor
- Damascus Sword
- Magic Blade "Cromrea"
- Shadzard
- Sword of Silvans
- Demon Sword "Nefarious"
- Angel Slayer
Valkyrie Profile 2: SilmeriaEdit
Just as in the first Valkyrie Profile, Heavy Warriors of Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria specialize in dealing and withstanding damage. Unlike Light Warriors, the Heavy Warrior has no elemental attacks, but because of a lackluster MAG stat, a necessity for powering elemental attacks, this does not pose a problem. Not only do Heavy Warriors excel in physical damage but their attacks are good launchers, allowing the player to position enemies in the air for crystal farming. While Heavy Warriors lose the strength of having Soul Crushes that add over 60 Heat to the gauge, their normal attacks are good for filling the gauge to initiate a Soul Crush combo string. In particular, ten out the total sixteen Heavy Warrior Einherjar attacks accumulate ten or more Heat. Although unable to cast Menu Magic or having no magic affinity whatsoever, their sheer damage output more than makes up for this. This class, much like in the previous title, is exclusive to males.
Main Article: Heavy Warrior Attacks
Heavy Warriors in Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria have a total of 16 attacks at their disposal (not including unique character attacks. See below). These are:
- Arm Breaker
- Blast Kick
- Bloody Cascade
- Disassemble
- Dreaded Radius
- Iron Bash
- Forbid Sound
- Lower Split
- Overhead Left
- Quick Stab
- Sideswiper
- Smashing Swing
- Sonic Edge
- Spinal Current
- Structural Shot
- Sweep Dive
Dylan and Arngrim have unique attacks.
Heavy Warriors in Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria can equip a total of 26 swords, 25 heavy swords and 1 light sword, the Angel Slayer. All heavy swords are Blue Slashing Runes. The Angel Slayer is a Red Slashing Rune.
- Bastard Sword
- Two-Handed Sword
- Striking Sword
- Screp
- Kraadicator
- Elemental Edge
- Flamberge
- Claymore
- Dragon Slayer
- Zweihander
- Grand Sting
- Hrunting
- Improved Dragonslayer
- Bahamut Tear
- Vainslayer
- Undead Sword
- Sword of the Meek
- Arectaris
- Gjallahorn
- Durandal
- Ignite Sword
- Claiomh Solais
- Hauteclaire
- Demon Sword "Nefarious"
- Tyrfing
- Angel Slayer
Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the PlumeEdit
Warriors of Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume have a movement range of three panels and an attack range of one panel (including diagonal panels). Warriors equip Broadswords as their weapons and can equip Helmets, Armors, Gauntlets, and Greaves for protective wear.
Note: Thyodor is unplayable*

Suddenly, new movies seems to have some old-fashioned,retro styled 8-bit video game attached to it. Last week I posted the video game for Twilight: Eclipse and today, The Expendables have gone with the same idea to promote the new Sylvester Stallone directed movie which also stars Jason Statham, Jet Li, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Giselle Itie, Eric Roberts, David Zayas, Steve Austin, Bruce Willis and even Arnold Schwarzenegger!
The fact that the movie has so many 80s stars sort of makes sense why they've gone this route and if you'd mid to late 30 – 40, you'll remember playing this sort of game back then anyway!
The Expendables is released in UK cinemas 19th August.

Posts Tagged 'Folie a Deux'
Wine Review – Folie à Deux 2009 Napa Valley Chardonnay
It's funny how one's palate changes over time with wine given enough exposure and diversity. A decade ago I was a solid "ABC" wine drinker – 'Anything But Chardonnay." Like many I was stunted by the low end California oak and butter bombs, best served near freezing if possible.
Over time I discovered what diversity chardonnay has, and learned to appreciate styles from other countries such as Australia, and of course France, whose diversity of chardonnay styles is almost overwhelming, and few others resemble the old California style. I also became a fan a few years ago of unoaked or 'naked' chardonnay – when done right, such as Kopriva.
I have to admit I wasn't sure what to expect from the Folie à Deux sample I received over the Holidays; a sub $20 fairly distributed wine, with I believed was a large production. I later read the data sheet and saw only 25,000 cases were made.) I was assured there was no pressure or expectations with the samples – enjoy them; writing was optional.
For those of you less fluent in French (like me) ' Folie à Deux' is named for the French term meaning 'shared fantasies' and 'represents the fulfillment of a dream to create a beautiful dance of flavors and true varietal expression.'
Folie à Deux 2009 Napa Valley Chardonnay
The fruit for was sourced from Napa Valley vineyards in the Northern part of Chardonnay territory including Oak Knoll, Oakville, and Atlas Peak. Part of of the juice fermented in stainless steel tanks, the balance of wine fermented in small oak barrels to help round out the finish. After fermentation, the wine was aged in French and American oak for 6 months.
To the Eye: Clear, vibrant yellow straw
On the Nose: Green apple, tropical fruit, vanilla, hint of coconut
In The Mouth: Rich mouth feel. Citrus, pineapple, peach. Good mid palate, and lingering acidity at finish. Oak is present, but modest. (A tad surprised since was some American oak.) Good balance.
Where to Buy: Website, Some distribution. $18 on Web. Media Sample.
You can also visit their Napa tasting room.
Food Pairing: Pairing mine tonight with my seasonal favorite dungeness crab. Try crab cakes, chicken or pasta with cream sauce.
Recommendation: This wine is <$20, and possibly ~$15 retail. This is a very drinkable chardonnay for under $20, that will please many, not embarrass you, and not break the bank, as well as pair widely with a good variety of foods. I'd have no problem picking this up on the run and taking it home, or someone's house. Recommend.
(p.s. I love the suggested 'song pairing' "Suggested Song Pairing: "(Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay,"by Otis Redding.)

Horse Semen, Anyone?
Holhoi tattea shots are all the rage at the Green Man Pub in New Zealand. For a mere $25 per shot glass, ladies are coming in droves to throw them back like champs. So what is holhoi tattea you ask? Oh, it's just apple-flavored horse semen which supposedly tastes a little bit "like custard." (Hold on. I have to vomit real quick. OK I'm back.) If you are chomping at the bit to try a shot of holhoi tattea, you'd better giddy up. The special semen shots are only available until Sunday as part of a Wild Food Challenge. Yeah, that's wild alright. File this under things that too closely resemble bestiality. [Oddity Central]Want to contact the writer of this post? {encode="[email protected]" title="Email her"}!

The new video teases more of Maleficent's past life to give better understanding of how the female witch became what she is now.
A fresh trailer for "Maleficent" is released for Japanese audience. It offers a lot of never-before-seen footage including a scene where a silhouette of the winged witch and that of a male companion are standing close face to face against the backdrop of a sunset. There is also Aurora curiously reaching her hand to touch a gigantic flying creature.
The movie tells the untold story of Maleficent who turned from a beautiful, pure-hearted young woman into a bitter vengeful witch after the harmony of her land in a peaceable forest kingdom was threatened by an invading army. Angelina Jolie stars as the title character, Elle Fanning as Aurora, and Jolie's daughter Vivienne as the young princess.
The film marks the directorial debut of Robert Stromberg, the production designer of "Alice in Wonderland" and "Oz: The Great and Powerful". It will arrive in 3D theaters starting May 30. Lana Del Rey recorded a haunting cover of "Once Upon a Dream" as a soundtrack.

indeed, adding the snippet from database.mysqli.inc:db_connect to database.mysql.inc:db_connect solves the issue.
So my question is, why adding the same patch to a different file (session.inc)? Doesn't that mean that session_write_close is getting called twice if I apply the patch AND use mysqli?

Using Drupal 7, Windows 7 Pro X64, Apache 2.4, PHP 5.6, MySQL. I can login from a remote system using either FF or IE. I can login locally (the system that owns the site) using FF, but IE "ignores" the userid + password that works on the other scenarios. The ID & pw I am using is an administrator account. The site is new and thus has no content.
Any other tips to try?
