I am not going to start coding this bug as per the revised spec attached. Further discussion at http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=162872#p728548
Code is now available for review in GitHub here -
Have merged Moodle/master to the branch.
If anyone is able to look at this in the next couple of weeks, it would be very helpful to me as our local project is pushing ahead on the assumption it will be included.
I had a quick look at the code and spec. In principle I'm for it. +1
But I've not seen the interface changes yet or looked in detail at the code for security or anything. Can you post some screenshots?
Hi, just to say I went straight to install/upgrade code and found:
- Some strange operations in config table (dropping and creating some columns there).
- Missing install.xml representing those changes.
Note I haven't looked at the rest of the patch. Just that thing.
Thanks to all for comments. I've revised the code...
Screen dumps -
selector.jpg - is the screen for showing the themes you've selected for each device type.
choose_theme.jpg - is for selecting a theme for a device
Hope that's clear.
Just an opinion about the theme selector screen:
Instead of having a row for simply 'legacy' or 'mobile', perhaps putting them as buttons (as they are now) would work better? What I mean by this is where you see 'select theme' next to Anomaly, have a button for the following:
'Select Standard Theme'
'Select Legacy Theme'
'Select Mobile Theme'
Upon viewing, and selecting, there can be a SQL query that changes that button text to:
'Selected Standard Theme'
'Selected Legacy Theme'
'Selected Mobile Theme'
this same query can disable these buttons to make it clear to the user that they already have the selected theme for the selected 'device'. Another option can be to add 'mobiletheme' to the Theme Settings where they select a mobile theme from a dropdown box.
I am sorry if this is a bit confusing, I will try to get some screenshots as I download the code!
Thanks for working on all of this!
Jason Cameron
Thanks for the feedback, Jason.
We did some consultation on this when we wrote the original spec. There seemed to be a dislike for the current interface with the buttons, hence the way I've done it. The advantage is you can see all your theme selections in one place more easily.
I am inclined not to change at this point as it was the result of that discussion rather than just my own personal preference.
Anthony, I like the screenshots as I see them and I really want to see this in 2.1!
Sam Hemelryk is going to do a peer review when he has a minute.
Have amended the switch code so that is now possible, but not compulsory, to have a switch link for themes applied to the default device type.
...it is also possible to use a switchdevice optional param to define the device type you wish to switch to (standard behaviour is for default to switch to mobile and all others to switch to default).
Hi Anthony,
I've just been having a look at this and this change seems like an absolutely fantastic idea. The work so far is definatly heading in the right direction.
I've made the following notes while reading over the patch (I've read it through several times now), the top section is trivial to minor things I spotted while reading (it looks like alot but don't worry most of them will take you less than a minute I'm sure), further on there are some general notes I made that represent more significant changes.
- upgrade.php: Is that block setting the version number of auth_manual meant to be there?
- upgrade.php: New upgrade block is reusing version number 2011022100.01 and should be calling upgrade_main_savepoint.
- admin_setting_devicedetectregex should not set the name, desc etc in the constructor, it should require it to be provided like other settings to allow this setting type to be used more than once (should that ever be required... it does look like a cool setting type)
- I think the devicedetectregex setting description needs to be improved. I didn't understand what it was until I read the code. Perhaps an example could be provided... we can always ask Helen to help with this as well, she is very good with this sort of thing. Also document what is to be provided e.g. full regex delimiters inc.
- It would be great if we could validate the regex somehow for the devicedetectregex setting (the first one I tried I didn't put a delimeter in and got a pile of notices). In the interests of getting this in ASAP perhaps we can create a bug report for this to see it improved after it has been integrated.
- Variable names shouldn't contain underscores as per guidelines - http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Coding_style#Variables
- That is one massive line in moodlelib with the regex's to pick mobile devices. I think those two regex's should be split out to vars to shorten that line.
- core_renderer::theme_switch_links shouldn't use $PAGE it has $this->page. (the $USER global should be removed as well as it isn't used)
- core_renderer::switchlinkdisplayed should be protected not private so that overriding renderers can control the placement of the switch link as well.
- Looking at moodle_page::legacy_theme_support I am wondering when $CFG->themes will not be set up? (See note c below ... I wrote more later)
- get_device_type You need to check that HTTP_USER_AGENT is set and likely return default if not (A quick search shows code checking if it is empty)
- get_user_switched_theme returns null at one point - should return false just for accuracy sake (I wondered whether this should be renamed as it is more about getting device switches.. food for thought I'll leave that up to you)
- get_selected_theme_for_device_type The check to make sure the theme exists is incorrect, themes can exist within either the theme's directory of $CFG->themedir if set - You either check manually (grep for CFG->themedir) or try using theme_config::find_theme_location.
- switch.php url should be using PARAM_URL
- For switch theme why not use key => value pairs rather than an array of objects? This way you wouldn't need to check if the user pref already exists you would just overwrite it if it does? (I think there were other places where similar thing was being done that could be improved in the same way)
- A quick grep shows there are still a couple of places using $CFG->theme (see note c below)
General notes:
a/ After looking for a while at _legacythemeinuse I think that it should be removed and that what it was doing should be done for everything but the default.
From what I quickly noted if _legacethemeinuse == true then the following would occur:
- A class was added to the body tag.
- A message was printed in the footer stating that a legacy theme was in use.
I think that it would be nice if we could do that same for all but the default so that you would always have a body class that themer's could utilise (legacytheme, tablettheme, mobiletheme).
As for the notice I see you already have the theme_switch_links function doing that which is cool, perhaps just improve the string.
Actually having looked at that I think it would be cool if the string were 'You are currently using the mobile theme, switch to the standard theme' or something - again Helen is the person to talk to about strings.
Perhaps the best option would be to store the device type being displayed for as a protected moodle_page var and expose it through a magic method so that future code may use it as well (I see this idea was tossed around in the spec blocks etc). It would of course mean initialising it at an appropriate time.
b/ I'm not entirely convinced that changing from $CFG->theme to the json encoded CFG->themes is a good move. I think using separate CFG variables would be a better option e.g. $CFG->theme, themelegacy, thememobile, themetablet.
The advantage of doing this is that it would be backwards compatible with existing code (in that it at least would find the default theme).
Then again that is my personal preference, I will talk to Eloy about it and see what his prefence is (although reading through the bug again after reading it I see Tim raised this same point so perhaps we should go ahead with it).
c/ I don't like legacy_theme_support I think we should try to come up with a way of avoiding that.
Given that the upgrade code is going to remove the current $CFG->theme and set $CFG->themes I think if $CFG->themes wasn't set it would be safe to assume that an upgrade/install was occuring and that it would be fine to fall back to the default.
As I said I certainly think this going in the right direction, and as I'm sure you know Martin is keen to get this in for 2.1.
If you have any questions or want to discuss any of the points go for it (if you think I've missed the point of anything etc let me know!), this is a high priority item on my list now so I'll aim to get back to you with answers etc as quickly as possible.
Otherwise I'm looking forward to seeing how you get along.
I should add this doesn't constitute a full review sorry - I went as far as I could before I kept coming back to the same areas and while I have used the new setting to test the basic operation of things I havn't given it a proper/complete test.
Hmm sorry that is quite a load when I look at it there - don't hesitate to ask any questions or raise anything to discuss OK!
Sorry, butting in here, and I have not looked at the code. Just a small point. In point 14, don't you mean PARAM_LOCALURL?
Ohhh good catch! I had completely forgotten we had PARAM_LOCALURL and yes should be PARAM_LOCALURL
Thanks for that. I've implemented everything you suggested (bar point 13, can't find another working way to do it).
I've also implemented all of the general notes so it uses $CFG->theme, drops legacythemeinuse and uses deviceinuse and drops the legacy support code.
Not sure where you are in the world. We have a public holiday in the UK this weekend and I am away visitng family until Thursday. I probably can't check back before then but will prioritise anything then so we can get this in.
Awesome thanks Anthony!
I'll look at it Monday morning now - if it's suitable for integration as it is I'll out it up for you and we can look to fix any remaining issues the following week.
Alright - I've been looking at this again and have made a few more changes.
Repository: git://github.com/samhemelryk/moodle.git
Branch: wip-
There are two diff URL's, the first shows the difference between your branch Anthony and mine (showing my changes), the second shows the overall changes.
Most of the changes I made were minor however worth noting Anthony is that I squashed the commits you had on your branch into a single commit (there were roughly 70 there I think).
The changes I made were made as just on commit on top.
I've asked Eloy to have a look at it when he gets online today, if he is happy with it then it will hopefully be integrated immediately ensuring its place in 2.1
Out of curiosity, are you using code to change the theme or using the code to create a cookie, which will then change the theme? I am trying to get a system set up to download the code but I figured you could answer here in a more timely matter =)
Just to play devil's advocate what happens in this situation:
User has an iPad and does not need nor want the mobile theme. However, they also have an iPhone they use regularly and want to use the mobile theme for that device. Each time they log in, will they have to go into their user preferences and change their mobile preference?
Tablets are treated as a separate type of device, so switching on your phone will not impact your iPad.
Gotcha. So this code is executed each time a page is visited by the mobile/tablet browser? Will this impact the performance/ability to cache the pages?
Well... there's obviously some performance hit because it has to run code it didn't previously. However, it doesn't need any additional db queries or anything else like to make a significant performance hit.
It doesn;t impact caching beyond the obviously implication of a page being rendered with a different theme if a user switches.
Congratulations Anthony this has been integrated now.
Thank you for your work here it really is a cool improvement.
I've tested this with Safari, faking the agent info and also with the iphone and seems to work perfectly. Also, I've tested it with user themes and also works ok.
Just two side comments to consider if that needs issue apart:
- After selecting any theme, the "continue" button redirects to main admin/index.php. It's a bit annoying (usability) and IMO it should redirect to the themes selection page. It has specially more sense with this improvement applied.
- the theme/switchdevice.php utility... uhm... it is used by the theme_switch_links() but it can be "abused" by anybody, isn't it? So anybody can, in practice, switch just by knowing the sesskey. Perhaps we should have some setting to enable both that info in footer & the execution of the script? Not sure, just imagining.
Just FYI - this change included a minor issue with an undefined constant (due to use of DEVELOPER_DEBUG rather than DEBUG_DEVELOPER) as discovered inMDL-28228

I've been working recently with a site which has huge potential for social sharing as a traffic source and as such I've obviously been sniffing around their main competitors to see what's working for them. There's been much talk about Pinterest as a potential traffic source, econsultancy also wrote a piece on pinterest driving more sales than Facebook, but until now I've never actually gotten that involved. I guess many of you will be the same.
Pinterest spying
One of the first things I stumbled upon was the ability to easily find what's being pinned on from your competitors sites using this URL
Just substitute "etsy.com" for your competitors domain and you can get a great view of what's being pinned, and by whom…
Pinterest Bookmarklet
Whilst this is quite clearly pretty great it didn't take long before I got bored of copying and pasting competitors domain names into a new window. On the other hand, I was also looking at their Google+ presence also using AJ Kohn's fantastic Ripples Bookmarklet…..hmmm I thought…..I wonder if I (who hasn't coded for 10 years) could create a bookmarklet (my first ever) to speed up the process…
[tweet https://twitter.com/StokedSEO/status/233308684556578816]
If you're
lazy interested in making your pinterest competitor analysis that little bit quicker simply drag the link to your bookmarks bar to give you the ability to see what's being pinned from any domain at the touch of a button:
Unfortunately I'm not able to host live javascript on this page (thanks wordpress!) but you can get the link here (Thanks Chris)
I'd love to hear if you find it useful, I certainly have so far. I was actually really surprised about the diverse nature of sites which are having things pinned, in all kind of industries. Now that it's just one click to look behind the curtain I'm checking out a lot more sites.
If you find any issues with the code or need help then I'm sorry but I'm probably not going to be able to help!

"I really wanted to love this shoe but it didn't live up to my expectations. I ordered it a half size bigger and it still was very short. I also have narrow feet and these are pretty tight with almost no ankle support. Overall not a very comfy shoe. I still like the style but def cannot wear these for a long walk."

Very Nice Apartment With an exelent wiev, Penthouse. No English speaking tv channels.
Great stay in a very pleasant apartment.
This place is a ripoff please be careful before clinking book on there are massive terrible extra charges and these interhome people are the wrosre people in the entire world fuck them
The apartment 'Palais de Justice' is pretty nice. Although it's not actually in the Palais the Justice as the name suggests, it's next to the actual Palais, in the middle of Vieux Nice. In the same street as the apartment you'll find bars, restaurants and local shops, excellent when you want to enjoy the old town of Nice. Excellent place to get to know the town, minutes walk from the beach, the park and other nice places. The boulangerie is just around the corner and you can smell the fresh baked bread in the morning. The apartment itself is comfortable, we stayed there with 4 persons. The fold-out sleeping couch makes actually a good bed an the bed is the bedroom is good as well. Minor points that are good to know: 5th floor, no elevator and some street noise (which is obvious if you want to stay in an authentic building in the narrow, busy streets of Nice)
Perfect camping, very clean, modern houses! Improvement suggestion is the outdated wifi useage. Helpfull people, clean toilet buildings. Would like to come back when the wifi is multi useable. Good french fries / chips available.
Cosy and nice appartment near the town. Clean and well worked appartment. When we arrived we didn't know if we were on the right address but a very nice lady came out and met us and showed us in. The lady was supernice and she was very friendly.
Thank you for this time, we hope to see you again!
We had a very nice stay in Supetar! The apartment was only 100m from the promenade, the apartment was clean and we had a beautiful view from the balcony overlooking the town and sea.
Ivo and his mother where very kind, she even surprised us with a homemade apfelstrudel!
We can recommend this apartment to anyone thinking of staying in Supetar!
The position of the apartment is very good. The apartment could use a brush up. I am very angry that they charge 80 € for final cleaning. The apartment was very dirty and the bathroom was filthy. The bathroom was full of mould fungus and the door to the bathroom had not been cleaned for years, it was black from dirt on the lower part. There was a lot of big stains on the bed covers, they had not been cleaned for a long time. The price for this apartment is way too high when it is so dirty. Today, 4 days after we left, me and my daughter still have problems with our respiration.
After paying for this property I got an email a few days later saying that there had been a double booking and my booking was not valid.
The company were polite and efficient and I got my refund within a few days, but it was disappointing.
Booked a hotel instead.

GDB 45: Vincent Lecavalier
Jonathan Willis
January 18 2009 01:04PM
As we wait for the game against the Coyotes to begin, let's consider two players over the past two seasons. Both are gritty, have good size, and are well-known and often mentioned as Top-10 players. Here are the numbers:
Player A
Player B
Player A is clearly superior to Player B. Outside of a slight difference in one season, he's been a far better offensive performer, and his +/- totals are well ahead of Player B. Yet everybody, bizarrely enough, thinks that these two players are identical in ability, despite the fact that the statistics don't support it at all.
The reason that everybody regards these two players as identical talents is because they are one player. Player A is Vincent Lecavalier, specifically his point totals against his own division, pro-rated over full seasons. Player B is Vincent Lecavalier against the rest of the NHL, pro-rated over an entire season.
I haven't gotten into the effect of the various divisions on player performance, but it is something that we as Oilers fans should be wise to. We've seen the effect on Erik Cole, and it isn't an illusion. The Southeast is the worst division in the NHL, by far, and it isn't surprising that some of the league's top goal- and point- scorers can be found there. It's something that GM's should keep in mind before making trades, at any rate.
It's something Oilers fans should keep in the back of their mind as they watch their team play the Coyotes and fantasize about what a new addition to the lineup could do to help the cause.
So I guess Ovie couldnt score 50 goals with out being in the SE.
Give your head a shake.
Lets continue this Hemsky vs Vinny argument here.
Vinny superior to Hemsky.
Vinny a future Hall of Famer
Hemsky not so much.
Enough said.
January 18 2009, 01:28PM
Strong argument, Jonathan. Good stuff.
I got one for you
Jonathon ask 30 GM's who they would rather build a franchise around
Vinny or Hemsky
Maybe Hemmer gets 1 vote. I doubt it.

What are you taking about - JW never even mentioned Hemsky. Give YOUR head a shake please and read what is written.
And in answer to your post about Ovechkin, I will bet you he wouldn't score quite as many goals if he wasn't in the SE. He's still an awesome player, though.

Wow those are great arguments. At least JW provides stats to back up his point of view. What do you have besides your opinion?
January 18 2009, 01:55PM
@ CurtisS: You are the only person who mentioned Hemsky.
Kovalchuck, St.Loius, Vinny, Ovechkin ect have slightly inflated personal stats do to the quality of opposition. And that makes a difference when you play those teams 1/4 of the time.
How many more goals would Edmonton Score if they played in a division where 4 out of the five teams don't make the playoffs? It's the same thing when Detroit's point totals were grossly inflated as they were playing sub par teams in Chicago, St. Louis, Columbus and Nashville. Where as everybody in the NW division is usually in the hunt for the playoffs. ie: points are harder to come by and the quality of opposition is greater.
Give your head a shake and pull it out of your (edited with love by WG.)
How am I the only person that mentioned Hemsky.
Jonathon in the last blog in the comments said:
Vinny might be a better offensive player but hemsky is a better player.
I didnt say it. He did.
Its not true. Vinny is superior to hemsky.
@ CurtisS: Try reading the post before spouting off - all you are doing is making yourself look stupid.
January 18 2009, 02:59PM
Are there serious rumors of Hemsky for Lecaviler? Or even that the Oilers are going for him? If not, why all the Lecav talk?
January 18 2009, 03:02PM
@ CurtisS:
Nobody is arguing that Lecavalier isn't a good player. He's excellent. And Ovechkin's an elite talent - top-five in the league in my opinion.
The point still stands that Leacavlier is a much better player inside the Southeast Division than outside of it. Look at the difference to Cole - if you think it's negligible, there isn't much I can say to you, because you're clearly beyond reason.
As for your "ask 30 NHL GM's comment" - I can't do it, but if you asked Ken Holland, or for that matter any GM in charge of a contending team if he'd rather acquire Hemsky or Lecavalier via trade, I'd wager good money he'd say Hemsky.
Especially when you consider that Hemsky's making half the money, and for a shorter term.
Look at the numbers this season - playing only Southeast teams, Lecavalier would be tied with Sidney Crosby for 2nd in the NHL in points scoring. Playing only teams outside of his division, he's tied for 45th, and well back of Hemsky's scoring pace. I don't argue that he's an inferior offensive player to Hemsky, but that's a big difference in his scoring ratio.

tampa would prefer draft picks and prospects only - due to financial crisis - hemmer is stable and would be traded again if khoules and barrie hold onto the team - this is about money, getting something back is not even secondary

I don't think so, but it's getting tossed around the message boards and blogs like nobody's business, so I thought folks might be interested in this breakdown.

Discuss it in that post instead of dragging it into the next.
JW has provided stats to back up his discussion, where are yours?
January 18 2009, 03:16PM
@ CurtisS:
Incidentally, there's a huge difference in quality between Ovechkin and Lecavalier. They don't belong in the same sentence, honestly.
Here are the numbers for Ovechkin, using the same exercise:
In Division
Outside Division
He benefits from playing in the Southeast (last season was one of the rare exceptions I've seen to this phenomenon), but in only one of the six samples (his rookie year) are his numbers inferior to Lecavalier's.
Ovechkin is a far better player than Lecavalier, and it isn't close.
January 18 2009, 03:18PM
Hemmer for Lecav, why debate it, we can dream and debate all we want, call each other a bunch of a-holes, etc but does anyone even this trade is a remote possibility? Not a chance IMO, so Curtis quit making youself sound like an a-hole and either back up your agruement with fact or leave it.
I choose to leave it b/c I don't see this happening... EVER.
Back to the point of the thread GDB!! Oiler's site note Hemmer is back in, and on the top line SWEET! But get this, Poltuny hits the Popcorn stand and Reddox daws in the 2nd line.
Just when I thought the Oil were turning it around MacT does this. I am gald I didn't jump off Bagged's fire Mact bandwagon.
January 18 2009, 03:21PM
Oh yeah, and Brule will be on the 4th line again.
@ Hockey Gods: Reddox will be in the line up for the rest of the season - MacT has added him to his list of underskilled and overplayed group of players. We may as well get used to him playing each game no matter how much we don't like it!
January 18 2009, 03:27PM
Also, vs. Hemsky:
Hemsky: 2.03 EVPTS/60, 5.76 PPPTS/60, 11.3 EVCorsi/60 Lecavalier: 2.51 EVPTS/60, 3.19 PPPTS/60, 1.1 EVCorsi/60
Hemsky: 2.36 EVPTS/60, 5.93 PPPTS/60, -.8 EVCorsi/60, Lecavalier: 2.42 EVPTS/60, 4.51 PPPTS/60, -1.1 EVCorsi/60
Lecavalier's a better point producer 5-on-5, by a clear margin. Hemsky's a better point producer on the powerplay, by a clear margin.
But there are two ends to the rink, and Hemsky is much, much better at keeping the puck in the offensive end than Lecavalier is. Lecavalier's one of the most exciting players in the league to watch, because it's always end-to-end action with him; he cheats to offense. Hemsky is a much more balanced player, he's well ahead of Lecavalier in positional play and awareness.
This insistence that the only end of the rink that matters is the end with the other team's net is bizarre. Preventing a goal against helps your team exactly as much as scoring a goal for, and while Lecavalier's a little ways ahead of Hemsky in one area, Hemsky is far ahead of Lecavalier in the other.
"The reason that everybody regards these two players as identical talents is because they are one player."
OMG, my brain exploded when I read that line. Well done, Willis. You think of things people don't think about.
January 18 2009, 03:29PM
@ Gord: I can't help but agree with you Gord, it sucks, but as long pompous Mact it driving the short bus players like Reddox are something we'll have to deal with.
I was just hoping sooner or later MacT would see the light. Still baffling, I realize the waiver situation with Poltuny and Brule, and Reddox is a decent PKer, but why not play win rather than play not to lose.
Thanks for the ear, as I re-read this I am just whining.
@ Johnathan Willis:
Sorry Willis. This reminds me of when you tried to argue that Horcoff is a better player than Getzlaf. If Vinny is better than Hemskey, and Horcoff is better than Getzlaf...Then how come the Oilers haven't won any cups? Both those guys have. Stuff those numbers and give your head a shake.
@ Hockey Gods: We all hope for the same thing, but MacT's plumber glasses only see effort, not talent.
There was a MacT quote talking about Reddox on here a few days ago. It went something like 'if his last name was Brule everyone would be excited about him.'
I laughed so hard when I read that. Is MacT so dumb that he thinks that the letters on the back of the jersey is what excites the fans? Offensive talent excites fans, fights excite fans, and huge hits excite fans. I have yet to see Reddox provide any of those type of highlights so therefor he doesn't excite me. Penalty killing and backchecking aren't exciting. They are required, but not exciting. That is the difference between the world we live in and the one MacT creates a roster in.
January 18 2009, 03:41PM
@ Gord: 100% agreed now where the eff is Baggedmilk and and his fire Mact Bandwagon, he was supposed to pick me up a year ago. I just bought real cool push bar with fog lights for that bad boy. Now people will see us coming and drive right over the naysayers.
January 18 2009, 03:44PM

I saw that on TV and I spit my lasagna all over the floor and then fell off my chair and rolled in it as I laughed and laughed. What a joke. The coach can't even see the difference in POTENTIAL and SKILL between those two. How do people in the hockey world take this guy seriously?

Beats me, becasue I can't, but I have heard and read a few times that several people in the in the hockey world respect him a coach and feel he is among the best in league. I have no idea.
Man ths PHI ARZ game is going to be a great finish, now ARZ is marching it, 4 mins left.
When the Oilers were 3 1/2 lines of 3rd line grinders he coached those teams well. Now that we have skilled puck handlers, he isn't doing nearly the same with more offensive talent. There is no doubt why Horc, Moreau, Reddox, Pisani and Staios are his favourites, that's the only type of player he has success coaching. I would be willing to bet he can get more out of those types of players than anyone else. He just can't coach skilled players and the Oilers have too many skilled guys to have a guy behind the bench that looks lost and desperate coaching them.
Alright MacNabb, you have < 3min to drive for 1 more TD. gogogogogo!

While your arguement is fair that Vinny banks points within his division, when 32 of the games you played were against your division, regardless of the opposition, wouldn't you want your best player to show up in those games considering the make up 39% of the season, and winning your division guarantees you at least a 3rd seed.
The last three years Hemsky hasn't put up good numbers in divisional games. This year in he has been better, with a point per game, but only one goal in eight games.
Last year Hemsky scored 6-17-23 in 29 games...prorated over the year that is 17-48-65 in 82 games.
In 2006/2007 Hemsky was 3-14-17 in 26 games...prorated over the year that is 9-44-53 in 82 games.
You can argue Lecavalier dominates his division, but the importance of those games is also higher. Hemsky's number don't come close. So then Hemsky isn't as impactful in big games.
We all agree Lecavalier is a better player and Hemsky has a better contract, but as head-to-head player Lecavalier is more dominant to this point in their careers.

I appreciate that it's important to be up for "big games" but I don't know that divisional record shows that automatically. I mean there's a world of difference between a March game against Florida for the Lightning than there is a March game against Nashville for Edmonton. Every year, only three teams in the Southeast are in contention for playoff spots (and it's usually closer to two) so I don't think those translate into big games.
I'd say playoff record is a better indicator, and in the year the Lightning won the Cup, Lecavalier was 4th on his team in scoring, behind Martin St. Louis, Brad Richards, and Fredrik Modin.
I'd say the reason Lecavalier's numbers are great against his division and Hemsky's are mediocre stems more from the fact that the Northwest Division is much, much stronger than the Southeast.

Tixpress combines location-based and time-aware technologies in the Fandango app.
Bill Siwicki
Web and mobile movie ticket seller Fandango has launched Tixpress, a new mobile ticketing feature in its smartphone apps, developed exclusively for Visa Signature account holders. Created for consumers seeking time-saving convenience and for spontaneous moviegoers, Tixpress combines geo-location and time-aware technologies with a new single-page ticket checkout and redemption process.
In three steps, a Visa Signature account holder can quickly locate the closest Fandango partner theaters, view a list of movies playing over a several-hour time period, and then purchase movie tickets all from a single checkout page on the mobile commerce app. When a consumer opens the Tixpress feature in the app, the app uses the smartphone's GPS technology and clock to create a list of movies with showtimes starting soon and located at nearby theaters. The consumer selects the film and then pays for it on the checkout page. A consumer can store her credit card information in the app for quicker purchasing. After buying tickets, moviegoers redeem their Fandango tickets at the theater via paperless mobile tickets in the form of QR codes on their smartphone, or pick up paper tickets on-site.
Tixpress will be available only for Visa Signature account holders through August 31, 2013.
"Fandango's customers are among the most digitally savvy, and collaborating with Visa to create this innovative new app feature makes it even easier for people to get to the movie theater with just a few taps on their mobile devices," says Scott Schiller, executive vice president of digital media sales at NBCUniversal, parent of Fandango.
As an additional perk, Visa Signature account holders will receive special offers throughout the summer, including "+1 Movie Fridays," a promotion where Visa Signature account holders who purchase two or more tickets to a Friday show will receive one of those tickets free of charge. Account holders can also purchase $25 Fandango Gift Cards at a 20% discount.
"Working together with Fandango to create this exclusive offer for Visa Signature account holders exemplifies our strategy to offer relevant solutions that enhance account holder experiences," says Nick Talwar, head of North America consumer credit at Visa Inc.. "We know Visa Signature account holders are seeking entertainment opportunities and with this new in-app feature, they can easily and conveniently access a moviegoing experience, save time and money, and get the most out of an activity they already enjoy doing. "
Fandango sells tickets to more than 21,000 screens nationwide, the company reports. Fandango's movie ticketing apps are available on the iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone 7 and other platforms. Its apps have been downloaded 33 million times, the company says.

Obviously we need to get rid of the guns, especially the assault rifles and the large ammo-holding clips. But there is more to preventing the gun slaughters of Newtown, Aurora, Oak Creek, ad infinitum. I'm all for getting rid of the guns in America. But stopping the use of guns to kill people in the U.S. will require much more.
We need to have legislation to get rid of the assault rifles and other killing machines. That will be extremely difficult to accomplish, even with the nation moved by the grief and senselessness of what happened in Newtown and elsewhere. Gun advocates control the political dialogue and action on the subjects related to the proliferation of weaponry in the U.S. You can lose an election simply by questioning our gun lunacy.
Additionally, we need legislation AND MONEY to stop the disappearence of mental health personnel and facilities in the U.S. In many places there has been a 50% reduction in mental health budgets. This is seen as necessary to keep taxes down. The real actions needed to deal with the gun slaughter in America includes a combination of gun reduction and increased budgets for mental health facilities to identify potential mass murderers. If you think it will be difficult to fight the gun lobby in the U.S., wait until you ask for more tax money for mental health. Greed rules in America. There is no number of children slaughtered that will move Americans to use more tax money for mental health. Guns and greed rule in the U.S.
As in the current debate between President Obama and the Speaker of the House, there is no room for compromise from the right-wing. As the vast difference between the rich and middle class in America grows each year, each year there is a renewed fight for the rich to hold onto more of their money and avoid paying more taxes. The weak and the meek be damned! The slaughter of children is caused by some unknown phenomenon that has nothing to do with guns or taxes. The rich need more in order to save America. If you believe that and are waiting for the rich to solve these problems then it is time to use the analogy: when hell freezes over. The rich always want more, more, MORE! Let them eat cake!
Greed rules in America. Even when it comes to the slaughter of innocent children. They tell us to look somewhere else for solutions, someplace not involving guns or taxes.

Stade Français thumped London Welsh in the Amlin Challenge Cup on Saturday while Bath and Perpignan won comfortably on the road.
Stade Français thumped London Welsh in the Amlin Challenge Cup on Saturday while Bath and Perpignan also won comfortably on the road.
Bucuresti 17-40 Bath
Rovigo 12-79 Perpignan
London Welsh 19-68 Stade Français
Bizkaia Gernika RT 5 – 87 Worcester Warriors
Calvisano 31 – 36 Agen
Bordeaux Begles 16-43 London Irish
London Wasps 38-25 Dragons
London Welsh were given a baptism of fire in Europe against Stade Français, who ran in nine tries win at the Kassam Stadium. Felipe Contepomi finished with a 25-point haul, including a late try. Hooker Remi Bonfils and centre Waisea Vuidarvuwalu both crossed twice to secure the bonus point before half-time. London Welsh fly-half Gavin Henson scored the first points for the Exiles at this level, but they still trailed 35-16 at the interval.
Sam Vesty scored 20 points as Bath claimed their first away win in Europe in almost two years with a convincing bonus-point success over Bucharest Wolves. The 2008 winners strolled to a five-try victory at Arcul de Triumf. Lock Will Spencer and hooker Ross Batty scored first-half tries before Vesty, Ollie Devoto and Kane Palma-Newport all crossed to seal maximum points for Gary Gold's troops.
Worcester thrashed Spanish champions Gernika, who were making their European debut, as the Warriors crossed 13 times. Replacement Max Stelling grabbed a six-minute hat-trick late on, wing Andy Short and scrum-half Paul Hodgson scored try doubles while number 10 Joe Carlisle bagged 25 points with a try and 10 conversions.
Earlier in the day, French giants Perpignan thrashed Rovigo in a 10-try romp at the Stadio Mario Battaglini.
London Irish brushed Bordeaux Begles aside with an easy win at the Stade Andre Moga on the French west coast. Sailosi Tagicakibau scored twice while Chris Hala'ufia, Topsy Ojo, Halani Aulika and Jonathan Joseph all crossed for the Exiles.
London Wasps joined Bayonne at the top of the Pool 3 thanks to bonus-point win at home to Newport Gwent Dragons. The Dragons got off to a flyer when qualified pilot Andrew Hughes scorched over for a second-minute try but Wasps soon replied as Jack Wallace, Fabio Staibano, Billy Vunipola and Joe Simpson all crossed for the 2003 champions. Teenager Jack Dixon scored a consolation try for the visitors.

I agree with you Kuroi but theres also the part where they have to look at the screen they are scanlating and see if thats the appropriate translation of the word the character is using. I definitely know that the raws of FT don't have that much cussing in them, maybe gruff words here and there but only to express extreme emotion and even then its going to be for a elementary schools reading level. I just hate how they try to use innuendo and cliches to make a japanese manga into an american version manga. I just want a straight translate please lol no need to make it as if some thug from the streets of brooklyn wrote it. I try not to complain if they are all I have but now I just use panda solely.
Either way I don't think Ultear is done yet. I hope to see her either teaching the next generation ice make magic or maybe in a seat at the grand magic counsel, she definitely has the power for it, her past is questionable but probably all those old geezers have skeletons in their closets too

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
During the first regular meeting of the Board of the Municipal Building Authority of Emery County, Commissioner Jeff Horrocks was elected president of that board. Emery County Commissioners Gary Kofford and Laurie Pitchforth sit on that board along with Sharon Jensen and Randy Jensen.
Commissioner Kofford led a discussion into the events surrounding the attempted sale of the incubator building near the Huntington Airport. He introduced economic development director Mike McCandless who is handling the talks for the facility.
McCandless stated he has made contact with all interested parties who have shown interest in the past and requested their proposals for the site. He has received two proposals. Those proposals are from EAO Services and Lynn Sitterud of Mac's Mining.
The proposal from EAO Services was for $10,000 and would begin construction in 12-24 months. The new facility would employ two-four people.
The proposal from Sitterud was for $32,000. That facility would employ four-12 employees, with the caveat he not be charged at the landfill for disposal of the current building or the building permit to erect a new one.
Commissioner Kofford stated he has spoken with county attorney David Blackwell and discussed the terms of acceptance of either of these proposals. Due to the length this process has taken, and the advertising that has been done, Blackwell feels the board is in compliance to accept a proposal immediately.
The MBA accepted the proposal from Sitterud with the exception of the building permit waiver. That decision will be required to come from the county commission. McCandless was instructed to again contact Sitterud and inform him of the board's actions.
Commissioner Kofford gave an update concerning the project at the Huntington Airport. He said the utility work is nearly complete with just the meter base installation being required. The quality of the water at the facility was checked and has passed. The red steel frames for the two new buildings are up and the insulation and skins for the buildings will soon be completed. Installation of the asphalt will be postponed until weather permits in the spring.
A concerned citizen asked if the money being invested in the airport is a viable investment. Commissioner Kofford stated the importance of an updated airport adds greatly to the economic development of Emery County. Kofford said with each upgrade, more planes use the facility.
The MBA meets the second Tuesday of each month at 2 p.m. in the commission chambers.

It's amazing how many different players there are! They are mostly ones from previous seasons and only 4 from the current Flyer's team. But that's alright because i'm a teenager and it's great to learn about all the previous, great players from the best team out there!

Runs wide

Cute & Comfortable
"These shoes are one of the best bargains I've ever made! They are super cute but amazingly comfortable. It feels like you are not wearing shoes at all, honestly! I'm always afraid of clogs, because they can slip a little bit from your feet and that is horrible when you have to climb hills, haha. But this one is very firm, and yet it bends with the contour of your feet when you move. HIGHLY recommend it!It runs a little large, so for you people that have "0.5" size and are unsure about the fitting, trust me: it will fit. I have big feet (size 11.5), but the size 11 fits me perfectly."

Great clogs
"I love clogs so when I saw these Springy ones, I gave them a chance. They arrived quickly and the color was better in person. Unfortunately, the clogs do run larger (I usually wear an 8.5 and these fit like a flip flop). I returned them to my local store and tried an 8 and they were perfect. They are extremely comfortable and for the price point, you can't beat them."

Miller Electric president recognized for commitment to technical education
Miller Electric Mfg. Co. President Mike Weller has received the Technical Education Champion Award from the Wisconsin Technical College District Boards Association. Weller was recognized for his work with local institution Fox Valley Technical College (FVTC), which has its main campus in Appleton, Wis., where Miller Electric is located.
The award, given annually for outstanding service to a member institution of the Wisconsin Technical College System, recognizes business leaders for their support of area technical schools and partnership in addressing key industry issues.
Among other initiatives, Weller recently served as treasurer and team leader for Friends of FVTC, an advocacy group spearheading support for FVTC's successful $66.5 million public referendum in 2012. Weller recruited and chaired the 39-member steering committee for the referendum's proposal to build more than 240,000 sq. ft. of new facilities in Appleton to help meet the school's growing program enrollment needs.
Weller has led the 30-year Miller-FVTC partnership, including coordination of several million dollars' worth of welding equipment since 2000. Recent equipment contributed as part of the partnership has been used to establish the school's Advanced Manufacturing Technical Center, which opened in 2011. The Center enabled FVTC to expand its core welding training programs.
Weller has also served as an adjunct instructor at FVTC, is active in the school's K-12 engagement programs, and is an advocate for Wisconsin technical institutions with the governor's office.
