How I Customized Disqus in a FlashPosted on January 16, 2012 by matmullen
NOTE: The techniques mentioned in this blog post are outdated and don't apply to the current version of Disqus.
Today's guest post was written by Sacha Greif. Sacha is a designer and coder living in Paris as well as the founder of Folyo. He recently put together a fantastic tutorial on how he designed CodeYear.com and here we present another great one on how he customized Disqus.
I need to confess something: I hate blog comments.
Oh, I don't mean reading them, that part's pretty fun. And moderation tends to be pretty easy, thanks to anti-spam tools like Akismet. No, the part I don't like is coding them.
You have to style the comment text, the commenter's name, their avatar, the date and time, take care of indented replies, and design the comment box. And don't forget to find a spot for all those social network log in buttons, too!
Call me lazy if you want, but that's why I decided to use Disqus when I recently redesigned my blog. It takes care of a lot of those things for you, and the default Houdini theme does a good job of blending in with almost any design .
Still, I couldn't resist tweaking a couple aspects of the theme:
Early adopter features
The first thing I did was turn on the Early Adopter Features (Settings > General). I'm not sure what it does exactly, but it sounded cool. After all, who doesn't want to be an early adopter?
However, turning this on will change the markup outputted by Disqus slightly, so you might want to check your settings if you noticed differences between your markup and mine.
Cleaning up
One of Disqus' big strengths is that it doesn't just let you create individual comment threads, it also helps you build a community on your site. This is why Disqus has things like Notifications, a Community Box, and Settings for those various features.
However, for my blog I didn't need to have access to those features right there on the comment thread, so I decided to hide them.
It's as easy as:
Styling the commenter name
Although the Houdini theme does it bests to disappear (see what I did there?), it's got a least one distinctive feature, the grey bar that sits behind the commenter's name. By the way, did you know it's not just plain grey, but actually transparent grey? That's how it can blend so well with any color scheme.
Anyway, to remove it and make the commenter's name stand out a little more, here's the code I'm using:
Rounding the avatars
Rather than keep the default rounder-corner square avatars, I decided to use rounded avatars to keep in with the theme of my site. Here's the code I used:
.dsq-comment .dsq-avatar img{
border-radius: 30px;
If you set the border-radius at 50% or more than the height and width, you'll end up with a square so round, it's actually a circle!
Happy accident
After styling the avatars, I noticed the indented reply form had a little display bug: the avatar was now partially hidden by the text field.
But coincidentally, I'm using the same effect in my blog's header:
So I decided to keep it this way after all, even though it wasn't what I intended in the first place.
Let's hack!
Sorry if I conjured up images of teenagers cracking into the CIA mainframe. What I mean by "hack" is just using an undocumented Javascript function to make our implementation even more personalized.
ElectricToolbox has a great write-up on how to run code only after Disqus has finished loading.
Here's what my code looks like:
function disqus_config() {
this.callbacks.afterRender = [function() {
$('#disqus_thread li[style="margin-left:46px;"]').addClass("dsq-comment-child");
I'm using jQuery to do two simple things:
- Add the unexplicably missing "dsq-comment-child" to child comments. I'm not sure why it's not part of the default Disqus markup, but in any case the only way I found of targeting child comments was by their hard-coded (booo!) margin-left attribute.
- Add a "dsq-trackbacks" class to the trackback div that comes just after the "dsq-trackback-url" one. Once again, in Disqus' original markup this div is left mysteriously classless.
Once those classes are there, it will be much easier to target those elements in your CSS to style them properly. Of course you can use that same callback function to add any class you want, or do much more with your comments!
The Final Product:
Of course, I can't cover all the tweaks I did. Most are pretty boring spacing and font adjustments, but they're important to make sure everything looks just right.
After all, your commenters are people who take time out of their busy schedule of reading Reddit to come explain to you why you're wrong about whatever topic you were writing about (I'm kidding! I love my commenters), so you want to make sure they have a good experience. And a good design goes a long way towards that.

We've seen other great Disqus custom themes out in the wild as well such as those on Learnvest, Telegraph, Engadget and People.

Dreamweaver Alternative
30 May 2012 at 3:06pm
Ok, so I like dreamweaver (cs5) because:
> all my sites are listed in a drop down, all set up with ftp servers, - quick to get and put files
> good code hinting and it highlights errors in php and javascript
> nicely coloured in easy to read code
> wysiwyg view is pretty good
I've tried a few free / open-source systems, but they all seem a wee bit slower and more awkward to do these things. if a job take 10% longer, i basically end up better off paying for dreamweaver. So are almost good but have massive problems
However, I'm convinced there is a tool out there (or will be soon) that can do everything well.
What are peoples thoughts here? what software are people using?

Hi Jon, I've also been considering a new editor. Personally I use Eclipse with PDT - but this can use a bit of resources. There are lots of other options:
Komodo http://www.activestate.com/komodo-edit
PHPStorm http://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/
Sublime text 2 http://www.sublimetext.com/2
Coda 2 http://panic.com/coda/
Vim even... http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard/2012/05/17/how-the-testing-sausage-gets-made/
In my case, there are some core features that I can't really do without so I basically wrote those features down and when I try out other editors I try and get those features up and running.

netbeans for me (if I'm not using TextPad)
I mainly use this for debugging and now with a faster machine it is kinda usable as an editor

If you're on a Mac, you can't beat Coda or BBEdit. Your post sounds like you work mostly on the front end, I would use Coda in that case.

I can also vouch for Netbeans. Works better on a beefier computer, and you'd need to do some heavy customising to colourise the Silver stripe template file sy tax correctly, but code completion is fab and it also handles version control nicely.

When I worked at SilverStripe I was introduced to TextMate (macromates.com)
It's a Mac application, so if you're on PC, bugger.
It's roughly $30 NZD to buy, well worth the investment if you're serious about productive development. Key features I enjoy include:
- SilverStripe Bundle, custom SilverStripe functionality built in to TextMate, enabling faster SS Specific development, Templating and Debugging.
- Go to file (Your entire project is indexed, unlike others I've used in the past)
- Xcode tools
Outlined on their website:
Ability to Search and Replace in a Project
Auto-Indent for Common Actions Like Pasting Text
Auto-Pairing of Brackets and Other Characters
Clipboard History
Column Selections and Column Typing
Completion of Words from Current Document
CSS-like Selectors to Pinpoint the Scope of Actions and Settings
Declarative Language Grammars for Graceful Mixing and Hacking
Dynamic Outline for Working With Multiple Files
Expand Trigger Words to Code Blocks With Tab-able Placeholders
File Tabs when Working With Projects
Foldable Code Blocks
Function Pop-up for Quick Overview and Navigation
Plug-able Through Your Favorite Scripting Language
Recordable Macros With No Programming Required
Regular Expression Search and Replace (grep)
Run Shell Commands from Within a Document
Support for Darcs, Perforce, SVK, and Subversion
Support for More Than 50 Languages
Switch Between Files in Projects With a Minimum of Key Strokes
Themable Syntax Highlight Colors
Visual Bookmarks to Jump Between Places in a File
Works As External Editor for (s)ftp Programs
Works Together With Xcode and Can Build Xcode Projects
I can knock out complete SS websites in under 4 hours now, including design time (low budget, but fully fledged sites nonetheless). This wouldn't be possible without TextMate ;)

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – More than 5,000 members of the Tennessee Education Association marched through the streets of downtown Nashville on Saturday.
The TEA's main concern is that a proposed bill would strip the association of its exclusive bargaining rights in districts across the state.
"They are not about education reform, they are about hurting our union and trying to bust our union up," protestor Diane Lillard said.
Lillard told Nashville's News 2 that she has been a school teacher for more than 30 years.
"This is citizenship. This is democracy happening when children see that teachers are going to stand up for themselves for the children for education all over the country," Lillard said.
While members of TEA were marching through the streets of Nashville, members of the Tea Party held a counter rally on Capitol Hill.
Kyle Mallory was just one of the protestors at the Tea Party Rally.
Mallory told Nashville's News 2 despite being a seventh grade teacher, he supports the Tea Party.
"TEA right now has a monopoly or exclusivity on bargaining and representation that broke up standard oil company, that broke up AT&T, now it's time our state legislature break up teachers union," Mallory said.
Saturday's protest was the largest on Tennessee's Capitol Hill in years.
At least 100 Metro and highway patrol officers provided extra security for Saturday's rallies.

Thieves strip Boscawen Christmas tree for 2nd time in week
BOSCAWEN - The bottom half of a Boscawen Christmas tree has gone dark again, after a 50-foot string of lights was reported stolen for the second time in six days.
Located atop an island that marks the split between Routes 3 and 4, the tree has become a beloved sign of the season for travelers over the last few decades, according to Fire Chief Ray Fisher, whose department decorates the tree.
Local firefighters volunteer their time to string up the lights, as well as the funds to pay for the electricity to illuminate them through New Year's Day, he said. That's why the news that the lights had been stolen not once, but twice, hit Fisher hard.
"I really can't say what my reaction was, because you can't print those words," Fisher said Sunday night. "I was B.S., let's just say that. It's something the guys enjoy doing, and people love seeing, but I don't know what our next move will be. I don't want to keep putting up new lights so people can take them."
He said he will meet with fire department members tonight to determine whether they should replace the strand a third time.
"My gut feeling is that they will want to replace them, but we'll have to see," said Fisher. "That's what I want to do. I just don't know why someone would do this. It just gets you so angry."
Fisher said for years a real tree growing in the traffic circle was decorated by a snowmobile club. Once that tree grew too tall, town staff began placing a Christmas tree on the traffic island, which fire personnel now decorate. Fisher said it's a job they have gladly taken on for the past eight or nine years.
"This year the tree looked really nice," said Fisher. "We went and purchased new 50-foot strings of LED lights, and they looked really good on it. They were on there last Monday, but then by early Tuesday the lights on the lower part of the tree were gone."
Fisher said he purchased another 50-foot string of LED lights, and once again placed them on the tree, this time securing them with tie-wraps.
The tie-wraps were cut and the lights removed sometime early Saturday, he said. The tree had several branches broken off.
Fisher said Boscawen police are investigating.
"I think the first time, it was someone looking to get a free set of new lights," Fisher said. "The second time, I'm not sure. That could have been spiteful."

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
As a student I'm miserable here, honestly. Some of the teachers are amazing but I could not tell you the first thing about Physics, Geometry, or Chemistry. The office is snappy and rude, and it also does not help that the principals ignore some of the issues with bullying that go on. A friend of mine was told by one of the counselors to just "get over herself and move on with life" and then was kicked out... Not happy here.
Anna High School has done a great job recruiting great teachers and expanding programs even in tough economic times. The staff is always willing to help.
There's no denying that anna high school is a good school and if you take the oportunity to learn everybody can. but there is two types of teachers in this school, ones that try their hardest to teach everything and have a good time, or the teachers who don't teach at all. also there are not many electives to choose from as to if you were located closer to the city.
Anna High School is not that bad. They just need better teachers because they children dont learn anything. But when the teacher is good most of the time the problems are the students because they are lazy and do't want to work at all. So all in all I would say that Anna High School is ok.
Anna High School has an excellent Band and AG dept. I also like the structure of discipline at the school. They are strict, but the students come out with higher grades and disciplines. My daughter graduated there and my son is now in attendance. The parents really support the school. O yes, my daughter had attended HG in Plano and I truly think Anna has taught her more in 3 yrs than the other. She graduated honors in regular ed.
We have best principal, VP and Staff you could ask for. All have hearts for the kids and strive to help them suceed.
Great Kids and Teachers!!
I have five children that attend Anna High School. This year is our first year that we have lived in Anna. We have moved several times because of my husbands job. We have been in several different school districts around the U.S. The teachers at Anna actually care about the students. It is like a family. My son when he needed help with his Latin, his teacher helped him one on one. I can remember in another school district when he needed help and when to the teacher the teacher was to busy to even talk. I think this is a wonderful school, with caring teachers. I am so thankful that we moved to Anna.

no matter where they find us
we'll always run away
and if they catch us
and if they catch us —
we'll slip poison in their blood
we'll take their keys
and lock them up
we'll always run away
I'd be happy to kiss
your sad eyes
if it meant you'd be happy
and I'll never feel
anything again
if you'd stop waiting
for her
I'll choose
to breathe this air
because I feel I am
moving with the earth
and everything is
spinning with me
and the dust in my lungs
is the same on my teeth
there is a train
can't you hear it?
the railroad curves to
where you stand
and you whistle
along with the toot-toot
look at the sky
isn't it absolutely lovely?
your favourite shade of grey
oh but wait
don't forget
about the train
you stare at the black engine
knowing what happens
when you jump off
the train tracks
but not
if you don't.
you're rumbling
is it you?
or the railroad?
you are lonely
but the train
makes you feel
puppies claw at her eyes —
she imagines them as saws instead of paws
little children, she says
you don't hurt others
she scolds sternly
when they grow bigger than she
they start pushing her down
instead of clawing —
she imagines them as boulders
wonders if they speak her language
do not look at me
I have no scars
but I have no stories
I occupy every corner
my body fuses with the wall
pay no mind to me
loneliness is my best friend
he took me and left
took me and left
i gave him the option
he took me and left
no, not the me
i wrestle with at night
not the me
i find huddled in the corner
he took the me
that coquettishly flutters at him
and he left me
as he ran after her
she sees knobby hands
atop knobby knees
milk jugs fall over her tears
i could conceal you
in a rabbit hole
forget about you
when you do not peep
you, you, you
here hold this string
here i will tug on it a little —
make sure not to drop it
here grasp it in your hands
i will not let go either you see?
we will always have a connection
no no here go this way
you do not have control of where we go —
follow me and i will lead you on
why are there threads?
no matter just hang on
it is good for you do not worry
oh no what have you done?
scissors make you weak dear
you were weak enough to cut us
you are not better without me
now you are alone can you not see?
it is all your fault
you tell me you feel like
those pigs hung up
in those chinatown stores
and over the noise
of the coughing vacuum
i find you like a pig in the closet
the shades that break
fail to keep the room dark
buttoned up vests
threads dangling
where the buttons should
have been and i
to mark each
until the sky goes
away finally
and i am left
with buttons in one hand
and in the other
threads for the shades
five years old again
when things did not go right
crying is the
best option
sometimes i smile
when they don't acknowledge me
sometimes i will cry
sometimes yellow snow falls
i am not cold anymore
when i walk to school
sometimes i won't talk
they'll laugh and snicker at me
i will laugh with them
he looks at me
becomes static
he is the buzz
I hear in my ears
the noise
only the young
can hear.

Q: Three months ago, I had a breast biopsy that fortunately turned out to be benign (not cancer), but now I'm left with a scar that I'm not happy about. I was too scared at the time to ask questions, but now I'm wondering why the surgeon didn't just do a needle biopsy. Can you tell me why? – S.R., Sarasota, Fla.
A: I cannot comment on your specific breast mass, but there are very few instances where an open surgical biopsy would be needed as the initial diagnostic procedure.
In fact, a panel of leading breast surgeons at the 2009 International Consensus Conference on Image Detected Breast Cancer III unanimously agreed that needle biopsy should be the "gold standard" for the initial diagnosis of breast abnormalities.
Dr. Melvin Silverstein, chairman of 2009 International Consensus Conference, commented that since only 15-20 percent of abnormalities found by mammography turn out to be cancer, a significant number of women with benign lesions are undergoing unneeded diagnostic surgery when needle biopsy done while awake using a local anesthetic is equally effective for discovering cancer.
A report published in the October 2009 issue of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons noted that 35 percent of initial breast biopsies in the U.S. are still being performed under general anesthesia using an open breast biopsy like you had. This is in spite of the fact that it's much more invasive, requires general anesthesia and costs two to four times more than the far less invasive yet equally accurate needle biopsy.

text: I <3 hearty soups. This is definitely the most satisfying soup I've ever made, and it is so simple to make! Bonus points for the fact that it's super healthy (but doesn't taste like it) and extra bonus points for Rod having two helpings!! I would recommend serving this hearty soup topped with grated cheese (we used a pre-shredded swiss/gruyere blend, but parmesan or asiago would be good too) and/or with crusty bread! Kale, Sausage, and Cannellini SoupServes: 4-6 Ingredients:4 chicken apple sausages, cut into 1/2 inch slices on the diagonal1 onion, finely diced1 tablespoon vegetable oil2 thick carrots, peeled and diced (I like to cut into rounds, then quarter them)1 can of cannellini beans (or any white bean), including liquid1 small to medium sized bunch of kale, washed, stem and any tough-looking center parts removed, remaining leafy parts cut up into 1 inch strips1 clove garlic minced1 teaspoon celery seedOptional: 4- 6 cups chicken or vegetable stock. Suggested Directions:1. Heat large pot on medium-high heat, and add oil.2. Once oil is hot (about 1 minute), add garlic and saute until lightly browned. Remove garlic quickly, set aside, and turn up the heat to high.3. In the same oil, saute the sausage over high heat, until nicely browned on both sides (about 5 minutes, stirring frequently)4. Add onion and saute with sausage for 1-2 minutes.5. Add carrots and kale and saute another 4-5 minutes, or until kale turns a brighter green.6. Add cannellini beans including liquid in the can, celery seed, and also add hot water to desired soup consistency (I added 4-6 cups of water—sorry I didnt measure—just kinda eyeballed it). You can add chicken stock or vegetable stock instead of water if you have it on hand. I found that it was not necessary. 7. Stir a little to blend everything and cover and bring to a boil, then let simmer on low heat for 15-45 minutes (I think the flavors blend together better and the kale is more wilted after 45 minutes, but it is perfectly edible earlier!)Enjoy!! recipe soup kale sausage hearty epluribuskiester likes this

Bus drivers in Chittenden County are once again threatening to strike.The drivers union and the Chittenden County Transportation Authority are at an impasse in negotiations over a new contract. The union says one of the drivers' complaints is the amount of time they have to remain on call between shifts. Some drivers work during morning and evening rush hours, but are otherwise on standby during the day and aren't paid for that. The last contract, two years ago, was settled just hours before the drivers planned to go on strike.
Two other gubernatorial candidates shared the gazebo with Scott Milne and Gov. Peter Shumlin for Saturday's debate.

Nikki Sixx, DJ Ashba Reveal Release Date for New Sixx: AM Album
Sixx: AM, the band featuring Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx and Guns N' Roses' DJ Ashba, will release their third album on Oct. 7.
Sixx: AM, the band featuring Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx and Guns N' Roses' DJ Ashba, will release their third album on Oct. 7.
Axl Rose has been making sure the band takes the stage on time.
Reinforcing an earlier round of rumors, Guns N' Roses guitarist DJ Ashba has confirmed that the band will return to Las Vegas this spring.
Last month, a Las Vegas police captain lost his job after it was revealed that he had arranged for a romantic helicopter ride to help Guns N' Roses guitarist DJ Ashba propose to his girlfriend. For the first time since the incident, Ashba spoke to the media about the controversy.
One of the most romantic cases of rock star excess we've heard in a long time has, unfortunately, resulted in somebody losing their job. A Las Vegas police captain has left his job after breaking the rules to help Guns N' Roses guitarist DJ Ashba propose to his then-girlfriend.
Just weeks after popping the question to his girlfriend, model and actress Nathalia Henao, Guns N' Roses guitarist DJ Ashba has officially gotten hitched.
Guns N' Roses guitarist DJ Ashba blew up social media with his once-in-a-lifetime marriage proposal for his girlfriend, model Nathalia Henao. But Ashba's Instagram followers aren't the only ones taking an interest in the couple's engagement.
Guns N' Roses and Sixx: A.M. guitarist DJ Ashba is off the market after popping the question to girlfriend Nathalia Henao.
With the Rolling Stones '50 and Counting' tour finally underway, the first few shows have proven to be star-studded affairs both on and off the stage. When the tour rolled into Las Vegas over the weekend even Axl Rose and DJ Ashba from Guns N' Roses wanted to get in on the action, but it wasn't as guest performers, a slot taken on the night by Katy Perry.
Guns N' Roses will be spending a lot of time together in the coming months, and guitarist DJ Ashba believes that it may give the band their best opportunity to record some new material that they've had in a while.

Conroy visits Nextgen's backhaul hub: pics
Summary: Fibre-optic backbone specialist Nextgen Networks has installed over 8000km of its own fibre across Australia, but its current role as prime contractor for the government's 6000km Regional Backbone Blackspots Program (RBBP) has given it a high profile in the National Broadband Network (NBN) roll-out, especially now that the provider has reached its halfway point.

Cultural concerns are a major part of the project, with a dedicated team handling negotiations with indigenous organisations and tribal councils.
"There are hundreds and hundreds of sacred sites we've got to avoid," said project director Jeff Sharp. "We have monitors with the construction crews to make sure we do the right thing." Nextgen has also boosted indigenous employment through a deal that has seen indigenous workers comprise 10 per cent of the project's 500-strong full-time workforce.
(Credit: David Braue/ZDNet Australia)
Every centimetre of the route is planned in great detail, ensuring that the network respects the many operating parameters within which it's operating.
The roll-out of the fibre throughout rural areas has been greeted warmly, according to Sharp. "Wherever we go, everyone's just applauding us," he says. "They really are keen."
In each town the RBBP fibre passes, Nextgen installs a BPOI (Broadband Point of Interconnect) cabinet near the local Telstra exchange that hosts ADSL2+-capable DSLAMs (DSL Access Modules) to allow ISPs to deliver broadband to local residents. NEC subsidiary Nextep is the first into each Nextgen-delivered BPOI, but the open-access, government-owned infrastructure will be equally available to any interested ISP.

The cable being laid bundles a large number of fibre-optic strands, with extensive protective sheathing. Specialised "rippers" dig a trench 1 metre deep, into which the cable is laid by a plough. The plough lays it into place through a chute.

First city in the county to have charging stations
By Chris Fish
BREVARD -- As one of her many goals, Julie Foster hopes to create a sustainable economy for Brevard County.
"One of my favorite quotes comes from the movie Deep Green," said Ms. Foster, Melbourne's sustainability program manger. "'All we have to do is care, act and grow up a little bit; we can get this done.'"
Now, in an effort to create a greener, environmentally friendly area for greater economic development, the city of Melbourne will provide charging stations for electric vehicles.
"Melbourne has made a commitment to sustainability," Ms. Foster said. "Part of this lifelong process includes encouraging utilization of a variety of resources, so as not to deplete a single one."
The city of Melbourne charging station, located in front of the Eau Gallie Library at 1521 Pineapple Ave., becomes the first to be offered by a government in Brevard County, Ms. Foster said.
"The idea here is that we are not only fueling electric vehicles, but the local economy, as well," Ms. Foster said.
Officials said the project has been in development since 2006, and the location allowed a reasonable cost of installation, and the $15,000 that city used for the project was an FPL rebate from a previous energy project.
Batteries that power electric and hybrid vehicles are often charged at the owner's home or business. Depending on the vehicle type, the range of travel before recharging is generally limited to less than 100 miles.
Officials said this charging station provides an alternative option for electric vehicle owners, allowing them to either 'top off' the charge of their vehicle or receive a full charge.
"The charging stations are a symbol of our nation paying attention to its wake-up call and taking actions to do things differently, more energy efficiently and more intelligently," Ms. Foster said.
Officials said that use of the station requires a $1 access fee, regardless of the amount of energy used. The system is maintained by Chargepoint, the nation's largest plug-in charging network, in which an online map points drivers to available stations.
The Federal Department of Energy expects well over a million electric vehicles on the road by 2015, along with more charging stations within the Melbourne area.
"Melbourne is looking into the installation of charging stations at City Hall and at the west end of Historic Downtown Melbourne for the next fiscal year," Ms. Foster said. "We are also encouraging local businesses, malls, schools and hospitals to expand their immediate goals to include alternative fueling options for their patrons."

Morning News Digest: January 7, 2013
By Matthew Arco
Lesniak endorses Codey for Gov.
State Sen. Ray Lesniak today threw his support behind former Gov. Dick Codey as the Democrats best hope to win the the governor's race in November.
In a Facebook post today, Lesniak called Codey the Democrats' "Obi Wan Kenobi" adding that the former governor has style to match that of incumbent Republican Gov. Chris Christie. (Isherwood/PolitickerNJ)
From top to bottom, the 34th Legislative District has arguably the most volatility right now among legislative districts heading toward the 2013 Democratic Primary.
It starts with the gubernatorial election.
Former Governor Dick Codey used to represent portions of the 34th and remains a well-known area brand. Sources say despite his battles with Essex County Executive Joe DiVincenzo, Codey would be well positioned for a play at the Democratic Party line in Essex. (Pizarro/PolitickerNJ)
In 2010, Gov. Chris Christie underestimated the first major storm of his administration by flying to Disney World hours before snow crippled New Jersey. A year later, he overplayed Tropical Storm Irene with the now-infamous order, "Get the hell off the beach."
When Superstorm Sandy set its sights on his state, he had learned his lesson: be more hands on, more empathetic. (Delli Santi/AP)
He's leading the state as it rebuilds from one of the most devastating storms in history. He needs to get miles of debilitated boardwalk repaired. Thousands of devastated homes and shuttered businesses reopened. Destroyed bridges, highways, pipelines, rail cars and even amusement parks replaced. He's fighting with Congress and his own party to help pay for it.
And Governor Christie still wants to cut taxes, despite the stubborn reality of a stagnant economy that is leaving the state budget hundreds of millions behind his administration's revenue projections. Indeed, he said he would look for spending reductions to fund his proposed income-tax relief. (Hayes/The Record)
He was the lead federal prosecutor in a health care fraud case that accused the state's medical school of overbilling Medicaid by nearly $5 million.
He spearheaded the case against Bristol-Myers Squibb that accused the pharmaceutical giant of paying incentives to wholesalers to stockpile drug inventory, inflating sales and earnings. (Hayes/The Record)
A decade of "party boss politics," near "financial ruin," and an embarrassing sex scandal may once have tarnished the office of Medford's mayor.
But those difficult times are fading, says Frank Czekay, who on New Year's Day raised his right hand and pledged to "faithfully, impartially, and justly" execute the duties of the office of mayor for a one-year term. (O'Reilly/Inquirer)
By this point in winter, Sharon Roher would ordinarily be closing in on renting her two Seaside Heights properties for the entire summer.
This year, she has only four weeks booked and is struggling to figure out how many of her customers will return to the Ocean County beach resort, which is among the Jersey Shore towns hit hardest by Hurricane Sandy nearly 21/2 months ago. (Urgo, Osborne/Inquirer)
TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie doesn't want to settle for just winning re-election in November.
He said he won't be satisfied unless he trounces the opposition by a bigger margin than any Republican in a generation. (Portnoy/Star-Ledger)
TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie will hold his first re-election campaign fundraiser next month, signaling that he may forgo taking public money.
The Republican governor announced last week he had already amassed more than $2.1 million for the primary campaign. That means he could have stopped fundraising and still received the maximum matching funds from the state's campaign financing program. (Portnoy/Star-Ledger)
Think of a tree swinging from side to side in Hurricane Sandy: That's the 2013 New Jersey economy, and the big wind is coming straight out of Washington.
New Jersey's economic growth in 2013 hinges to an unprecedented extent on what the federal government does -- or doesn't -- do. It isn't just a question of whether Congress eventually authorizes the full $60 billion in Hurricane Sandy relief, economists and tax experts agree. (Magyar/NJSpotlight)
A new national commission is looking for ways to contain the rising cost of healthcare at what may the only place where political action is possible -- the state level.
The State Health Care Cost Containment Commission is tasked with producing a range of policy options that can be tailored to meet the needs and cultures of different states. (Kitchenman/NJSpotlight)
To include the state's southern counties in a push to improving health care delivery through the real-time exchange of patient information, the New Jersey Department of Health has awarded a $1 million grant to a new health information organization led by three South Jersey hospitals.
Richard Wheatley, chief information officer of Cape Regional Medical Center — which formed the nonprofit NJSHINE organization with South Jersey Healthcare and Shore Medical Center — said the group's efforts to supply hospitals, physicians, nursing homes and other providers in South Jersey with immediate access to patient data will reduce the need for unnecessary tests, resulting in a more efficient and less costly regional health care system. (Eder/NJBIZ)
Rosalie Bespalko, a blunt-spoken principal from Carlstadt charged with the daunting mission of turning around one of the lowest-performing schools in New Jersey, was alone in her motel room last July when she opened her laptop to check the latest results from her students' state tests.
As she scrolled through the names of her 27 third-graders at School 4 in Paterson, she hunted for children who scored enough points to pass in language arts. The stakes were high; learning to read by third grade is a critical predictor of academic success long term. Only seven made the cut. (Brody/The Record)
From the Back Room
Campaigns & Elections released their national list of 500 top political consultants.
From New Jersey's Democratic Party ranks were Steve DeMicco & Brad Lawrence, founding partners, Message & Media; Sean Darcy of Round World Consulting; Kevin Hagan of Princeton Public Affairs; Andrew Kennedy of Kennedy Communications; and Michael Muller of Totten Communications. (PolitickerNJ)
Embattled Republican Assemblyman Robert Schroeder of Washington Township has resisted calls for his resignation since being indicted two weeks ago on charges that he stole more than $1.89 million from those who lent him money and wrote more than $3.4 million in bad checks to creditors.
And there is no indication that he is ready to step down anytime soon. Schroeder, who represents the 39th Legislative District, refused to comment about the issue when I called him Thursday. (Stile/The Record)
TRENTON — The year just passed was full of political intrigue, but 2013 promises to be equally thought-provoking with a major difference — most of it will be centered around New Jersey and Virginia, the only states that elect governors this year. There are almost no federal elections, but the two governor's races have national implications.
Since 1977, the nominee from the party that lost the presidency the previous year has always won the Virginia's governor's race. That would give the nod to a Republican, supposedly. Despite the odds, former national Democratic Party chief Terry McAuliffe is in the game. This might be of little note outside the Old Dominion except that McAuliffe has strong active support from his old pals, former President Bill Clinton and his wife, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. This could be a rehearsal and shakedown cruise for a 2016 presidential race for Mrs. Clinton. (Ingle/APP)
Gov. Chris Christie is not one to let a big-old softball pass him by.
So it should come as no surprise that when wounded GOP House Speaker John Boehner failed on Tuesday to post a $60 billion aid bill designed to help those affected by superstorm Sandy, Christie grabbed the bat with both hands and wailed away. (Schoonejongen/APP)
Ever since Sandy hit, it's been tempting to think of Gov. Chris Christie as the only politician in the country who has broken free of the partisan trap that has snared all the others.
He praised President Obama and slammed Speaker John Boehner because each of them richly deserved it, regardless of party label. It makes you want to cheer. (Star-Ledger)

"Minecraft PS3 Edition" and "Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition" are getting a new DLC. According to a report from International Business Times on Feb. 14, a fan asked 4J Studios if new texture packs will be released for the console versions of "Minecraft."
A representative from the development studio confirmed that the art team is currently creating several new DLC. He also teased that one of the expansions is related to food items with high sugar value while mentioning that it may end up being called "Candy Saga Texture Pack." You can find some "Minecraft PS3 Edition" and "Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition" screens in the slideshow to the left of this article as well as the comments below:
Yes, our art team is working on some. One is a confectionery type one. We think Candy Saga Texture Pack is a good name for it ;)
The "Candy Saga Texture Pack" name may have been a joke regarding "Candy Crush Saga." The developer of the popular social game, King.com, recently filed a trademark for "candy." As a result, video games and other types of products won't be able to utilize the same word.
"Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition" came out in the middle of 2012 while "Minecraft PS3 Edition" was released approximately 18 months later in Dec. of 2013. With both console ports of "Minecraft" being virtually identical, 4J Studios would be able to release the same DLC packs on the two platforms going forward.
The same development team is also working on the PS4, Vita and Xbox One versions of the open-world sandbox title.

"Get out, you worthless girl!" the huge man threw the girl out into cold, wet concrete. He shook his fist in anger at the defenseless girl, throwing a few rocks at her. "You never were a good child in the first place! Now it's time for you to die out there in the streets, just like every other rat!" he spat, throwing more rocks at the poor girl. "Now get away, get away from here you insignificant brat or I'll bring out the pistol!!"
The girl slowly got to her feet, and her soft blue eyes met the man's brown ones, but her voice was emotionless and cold. "Father, shoot me all you want, abuse me all you want, insult me all you want, do whatever you want to me, because the more you do, the crueler your punishment will be. When you rot in Hell, remember that I will be watching you, and I will not pity you, for you had no mercy on me, your own daughter."
She slowly turned around and left him glaring ice daggers into her back, her long black hair flowing gracefully in the wind, her gentle ocean eyes roamed the streets, her white shirt and white skirt seemed to glow in the moonlight, her white tennis shoes made faint echoes in the neighborhood. The fire in her eyes illuminated her way down the dark roads. The looming buildings did not stop her from continuing, she was not afraid of inanimate objects, they were the size of ants compared to her fiery determination. The darkness separated, making way for her journey, frightened of the light she carries in her soul. Her eyes showed everything like windows to the outside, her movements were swift and graceful like a swan, and her heart was pure like the whispering winds.
Her father stared after her, watching her with pure hatred but with curiosity. `How can she be so fierce, and yet so gentle at the same time?' The girl had taken on her deceased mother's appearances, but found an attitude of her own. Sighing, he walked back inside the huge mansion, without regret of leaving his daughter to fend for herself.
The girl sat down on a bench in the park. On the front side of her shirt, there was a pocket where she kept all of the money she earned for a living for her parents did not support her. They didn't feed her, she had to cook for herself, clean for herself, walk to school, late or not, and buy clothes and food for herself. She stared up at the starry night, watching as the stars danced in the moonlit sky, using the moon as their disco ball. She watched as the stars entertained her and themselves, winking at her every now and then. Smiling she laid down on her back, letting the wind kiss her cheek and whisper comforting lullabies in her delicate human ears. As the wind blew towards her, she heard the precious items it carried: music from around the world, the song of the seas, the wishes of the children, the prayers of the Catholics, and the lullabies of Mother Nature.
Soon, she fell into a peaceful slumber, where not even the rising sun can wake her. A soft smile plagued her features, because even though she looked homeless, she was not, for she lived in the world, and that is her home, now and forever more.
The girl stood in the dark corridor, staring through the darkness that tries in vain to engulf and frighten her. A figure slowly walked towards her: an angel. His gentle, gold eyes bore into her blue orbs; his huge white wings touched her lightly, and his pure white robe with golden strings scared the darkness away. His golden colored hair sat lightly on his shoulders, and the golden ring floated above his head, glowing brightly, radiating the happiness that he felt.
"Krist," he smiled, "You have truly satisfied Him, you are the one to spread the three most important things we all need to survive this world: Faith, Hope, and Joy. You have suffered enough, I will now give you a new life, but I will also need you to look after someone. His childhood has been greatly demolished, his true self, his loved ones, and all of his hopes and dreams has perished along with his heart. Please Krist, show him the way, show him that he has not lost everything, show him that he is not alone." His voice was like a song, a beautiful song that will always sing, a wonderful song that shows the way through the dark times. His smile was a magnificent painting, a true masterpiece. Krist nodded, "I will do my best, please, send my gratitude to Father." "Of course," as he slowly faded away, he said one more thing to her. "Remember Krist, He will be watching and He can and will help you in your times of need. Until next time,"
End Dream:
Slowly, Krist opened her blue eyes, her eyes meeting the brown/tan ceiling above her. She felt a presence next to her, she turned her head and saw an unconscious boy, his blue/gray hair lightly moved as the wind blew towards them. She sat up, but she wasn't on the bench in the park, instead, she was in a wooden room, no doubt a cabin. They were on a king sized bed, a timber desk sat next to the comfy bed, on it was a lamp, a notebook, a note, a telephone, a pencil sharpener, and a few pens and pencils. The bed was placed next to the wall, and an open window showed the outside. Her guess was right, she was in a cabin in a peaceful prairie. Two closets are on the other side of the wall, one for the girl and the other for the mysterious boy. `He must be the boy the angel was talking about.' She got up and opened one of the closet doors, luckily, they were labeled. She smiled when she saw that all of her clothes are white, her favorite color.
Quickly changing, she entered the third door on the last wall, leading her to the living room. Three couches were placed there, and a glass table occupied the space in between. A beautiful turquoise colored vase is in the middle, containing different species of flowers, all different colors. Two glass doors led to the balcony, small, but big enough to fit 3 people. A set of stairs led to the first floor. She walked down barefooted and smiled when she reached the end. A kitchen was placed on one side, while a white couch was placed in front of a marble table and a TV. Beside the TV was a hallway that led to the 2 guestrooms and 3 restrooms. The kitchen walls were made of marble, and everything was squeaky clean, so clean that she could see her reflection in it. In one of the cabinets, it contains first-aid kits, medicine, and a cell-phone. She chuckled to herself, reaching for the cell-phone and setting in her pocket. A huge refrigerator occupied the wall next to the cabinet. Opening it, she was surprised at all of the things it contained. Almost every food she could think of was placed in there, and then, she suddenly noticed the second refrigerator on the other side of the wall. `Two people don't eat that much,'
She walked back upstairs and entered the bedroom. She walked over to the bed and sat down, staring at the details of the lost boy. Krist then took the time to notice that his torso and right arm was bandaged. "I wonder what happened to you..." At the sound of her voice, he seemed to shift a little towards her. She lightly grinned, `He should be up in a few days.' She ran her fingers through his hair, untangling the knots, when she stared at his face, she frowned. `Even in his sleep, he looks pained.'
Slowly, she got up and walked downstairs, towards the kitchen. She started rummaging through the refrigerator, looking for a few ingredients to make some food. As she worked, she hummed to herself, a smile placed on her features.
A ring broke the peaceful silence. RING!! Ring!! RING!! RING RING!! She trotted upstairs and grabbed the phone as quickly as possible, hoping that the annoying sound didn't wake the boy's slumber. "Hello?" she said. "Hello Krist," she gasped, more shocked than frightened. She answered with a calm but serious tone. "Yes? Do I know you?" She heard chuckling on the other side, a voice so cold and hollow that it sent shivers down her back. "No, no young one, you don't know me, but I want something that you have..." she started to get angry, but kept her tone in check. The man thought that she was a child, an ignorant child that can't take care of herself. The harmony disappeared, now there was only tension in the air, the birds stopped chirping and the sun was hidden behind thick, white, clouds. "Look sir, I think you have the wrong Krist because I do not have anything you want, good day sir," she was about to hang up when her advanced hearing picked up the word, `boy' and `cabin'. Krist slowly brought the phone back to her ear. "Krist, listen to me, when I come to your cabin, be ready to hand over the boy, for my master wishes to keep him." "Keep him? He's not some property that you can own, he's a human that has feelings. He's not an inanimate object!" "You're exactly right, all he feels is sorrow, pain, agony, you see Krist, that's all he CAN feel. Which is exactly why my master wants him, my master wants his pain, his sorrow, his broken heart, his tortured soul, and he wants all of it." Krist heard an evil laugh, she glared at the phone, picturing him punished. "You sick, twisted monster!" she said and slammed the phone down.
Her breaths came out heavy, she glared at the phone, but when her eyes gazed over to the boy, they softened. She sat down next to him, staring at him with her soft, intense eyes. She stared at his face, a frown plagued his features. "Hey," she laid his head on her lap; she ran her fingers through his soft hair. "Stop frowning, your face might get stuck that way." Krist began to hum, trying to place a smile on his lips for she knew that he could hear her and everything around him.
"Dancing bears
Painted wings
Things I almost remember
And a song
Someone sings
Once upon a December..."
Kai's POV:
The boy laid there, surrounded by darkness, his crimson eyes emotionless, blank, his body cold, and injured. His breathing came out ragged and heavy. Whispering voices echoed around him, a few memories played in front of him like the cinema. The fire in his eyes was extinguished, his hopes and dreams were broken, he's lost. One of his most hated memories started to play before his crimson eyes, the memory of his friends dying, the bloody scene continued for what seemed like hours. He watched it replay over and over, listening to the heartbreaking sound of their screams, watching the blood splatter over the floor, and listening to the laughter of the murderer, watching him laugh insanely as he slaughter his friends mercilessly.
The flashback stopped, leaving him in total silence. He pushed himself to get up, but he fell back to the ground, but even so, he refused to lay there and do nothing. He pushed himself up again, but once more, he dropped to the ground out of exhaustion. But he tried once more, and this time he succeeded. "Got-ugh-to find-a way-out..." he told himself through his wheezes. "Hello, Kai," the boy froze; fear ran up his spine and clouded his mind. Slowly, he turned around and met the malicious gaze of his grandfather. "V-Voltaire?" he whispered, surprised as to why his grandfather would be here. "Yes, it's me Kai, in the flesh...well, sort of, anyways, how are you? You haven't been visiting me Kai, I'm sure the Blitzkrieg Boys would love to see you." he smirked, taking slow and painful steps towards his frightened grandson. "You killed them Voltaire! You and your goon Boris!" Voltaire laughed, the evil noise echoing off the unseen walls. "Well Kai, you're smarter than I thought, but still not as smart as me." He took a few more menacing steps, causing Kai to take a few steps back. "I-I'm not afraid of you, Voltaire!" "Oh really?" he sneered, "Then why are you scooting back?" he grabbed Kai's left arm, and a surge of pain went through his entire body, he felt as if he was being burned alive. "AAHH!!" Kai screamed in pain and agony, falling on his knees, all of his efforts of getting up before were vain. Voltaire let go his arm, Kai's screams were now just small grunts. He kept his gaze to the ground, blood dripping down his left arm. "You're such a weakling Kai, is this how I taught you? No! It's because of your stupid, feeble friends. You should be thanking me Kai, I did you a favor," Voltaire laughed, turning around and walking away, his figure fading in the darkness.
A few warm tears slid down his face, he's crying. Finally crying after such a long time. His invisible barrier crumbled to the ground, and all it took was the death of his dearest friends. He always told them to leave him alone, and that's what he got. "Heh, my wish came true...I just didn't know it would feel like this..."
Normal POV:
Krist stopped singing when she felt warm, wet, streams, flowing down his face. "Huh?" she looked down, and saw that he was crying. It was unusual, but not impossible, an unconscious boy crying. "Don't cry," she whispered, caressing his cheek, "It's nothing that you can't handle, you just got to believe." The streams stopped, but a few tears fell once in a while. Her gaze wandered over to his left arm, blood sliding down it. She raised a confused brow, "Now how did THAT happen?" she asked him, not expecting an answer.
Before she could get up and get the bandages, someone crashed through the ceiling, landing on their feet. He stared up at her with menacing eyes. He smirked at her, taking a few steps towards the unconscious boy. "Who are you?" she said, glaring at him. "Don't you remember? We talked on the phone, didn't we?" Krist stared at him with frighten blue eyes, `What am I gonna do?'
Hope this is as good as I think it is!! Please review on your way out!

Arrangement: 'Oh Holy Night 2010′
Posted by admin | Posted in Arrangements, Music | Posted on 20-12-2010-05-2008
I do a Christmas song every year, and "Oh Holy Night" is this year's song.
Notes: I used a Neumann TLM-49 mic through a Great River ME-1NV preamp and FMR Audio RNC 1773 compressor into Logic Pro for the main vocal, and then compressed it on the other end with Waves RComp. It ran through an old Lexicon MPX-500 for some nice Christmas-y concert hall sound. Too bad I was sick this week. Sorry about the hoarseness. I would have done thicker background vocals too.
Arrangement: As for the arrangement, I wanted to do something in 6 with a kind of modern feel. I used my favorite trashy Yamaha piano sample (terrible decays on this one!) with heavy EQ. The guitars are some quick fingered (and messy) keyboard emulations running through Omnisphere. Great sound, terrible playing. They sounded bad enough to turn down and pan way to the left. The strings are patches of my own creation. I heavily treated the sleigh bells in the chorus and added some timpani rolls for cheese.

Equipment Used: Logic 9, TLM-49

Favourite Etsy Stores: Greylace
Tonight's favourite Etsy store is a brand newbie - actually, it's only 2 days old! I follow the lovely Janelle on Instagram, and her photos are just so beautiful. She is a crafter from Tassie, and her work is so lovely to look at. As I was checking her blog today, I saw that she had finally opened an Etsy store! Happy days. Now her beautiful things are for sale to those of us not from Tasmania, and I plan on spending a good many hours looking at the beautiful floral pieces in her shop! The vintage florals and daintily stitched tote bags would be perfect gifts for a lovely lady friend, and an even better treat for yourself! It's also a bonus for me that she's Australian, because I love to support local artists (and it means any purchases get here nice and quick!). You can check out her blog here, and her Etsy store here. Be sure to get in early, you could be one of her first customers! And if her handmade products aren't cute enough, just wait till you see the packaging.. xo caity

New England Patriots
FOXBORO (CBS) – There is nothing like watching a big man get an interception. It's brings a child like quality to a serious game.
When Vince Wilfork got his first interception for the Patriots on Sunday against the Chargers, he had the end zone in his sights. All 325-pounds of him.
That would have been astounding, and the Gillette Stadium crowd would have errupted.
"Yeah, I did. Any time you get your hands on the ball you think about scoring as a defensive player," said Wilfork, who was actually tripped up by teammate Devin McCourty on the play. McCourty was also flagged for hitting San Diego running back Mike Tolbert from behind as the he tried to reach out for Wilfork.
Read: Levan Reid's Patriots Blog
Big Vince said afterwards he was in the right place at the right time.
"When I saw the running back take off, I was thinking (it would be a) screen (pass) from the look the guard was giving. I got out there and made the play. When you take a chance like that you better make the play," said Wilfork.
"Now I can talk smack to them," Vince added.
Read/Watch: Andre Carter on Sports Final
Wilfork tipped the pass to himself, and then rumbled 36 yards to the San Diego 29 yard line. It set up a Patriots field goal that gave them a 20-7 lead at the half.
It was the 14th interception by a defensive lineman in team history and the first since Richard Seymour picked one off against Houston on Dec. 17, 2006.

i don't think class quests are entirely too far in the direction of "limiting the content to one class" if done correctly. remember the Sunken Temple batch of class quests? or how about Anzu from the druid epic flight form quests? or the warlock/paladin epic mount quests. those involved adding a twist to content that all classes wanted to do anyhow.
wouldn't it be awesome if each class had a epic quest chain that had you going across the zones, perhaps into old world areas to fight specially summoned mobs, and with the last step of the chain being an epic encounter in a heroic instance, a different boss for each class, and each one having a chance to drop a mount (maybe the same mount in different colors for each class), and always dropping a badge? oh, and make each boss effectively require the summoning class to use some sort of tricks they have. mage epic boss requires curses to be removed, etc.

A good way to start a comedy blog is to first talk about what is not comedy. So many of my friends and former teammates have sent me this link from this so called "Onion Sports Network" telling me how funny it is. This is not funny. As a comedian myself I know that the key to comedy is factual accuracy. Take this joke from my childhood for an example: "Your mother is so fat that she meets the World Health Organization's minimum BMI guidelines". Yes this joke is funny, but more importantly it is true.
This being stated, how can something as untrue as this article be funny? I am not nor have I ever been a U.S. Senator. The writers of this libelous article should be assembled and publicly dunked on.
