The preseason has officially kicked off in the NHL, and what better time to start getting all of your buddies around for a fantasy hockey league. The regular season is approaching quickly, and we're here to help you along the way in your draft process.
I will be going through each pick that was made last night, and give my quick thoughts on each of them. The league consists of writers from Too Many Men, the editor of Predlines, and a few family members and friends. Unfortunately, due to some computer problems, and people being out of town, there were a couple of autodrafted teams.
Round 1
1. Brendon – Sidney Crosby (Pittsburgh Penguins, C)
Crosby is a good pick at number one because you know he's going to put up points, as long as he's healthy….
2. Dylan – Steven Stamkos (Tampa Bay Lightning, C)
Stamkos is a bonified goal scorer, and everyone knows it. He would have also been a good number one pick.
3. Patrick – Evgeni Malkin (Pittsburgh Penguins, C, RW)
Malkin is a point getter as long as he's healthy. Prepare for another great season in Pittsburgh.
4. Robert – Pavel Datsyuk (Detroit Red Wings, C, LW)
Datsyuk is a valuable fantasy player, but he reached for him. He'll get points, and should have a good season, but there are better fantasy players still available.
5. Adam – Tuukka Rask (Boston Bruins, G)
The Bruins goaltender proved his worth last season, and will more than likely do it again this year.
6. Devin – Alex Ovechkin (Washington Capitals, RW)
Seems like he fell a bit so no reason not to grab him at #6. He's hot and he's cold, just ride the waves owners.
7. J.A. – John Tavares (New York Islanders, C)
He was consistent all season long last year, and that makes him valuable for weekly matchups. I was hoping to get him at #8.
8. Me – Henrik Lundqvist (New York Islanders, G)
Lundqvist knows how to win, and he's entering a contract season. I'm expecting big numbers this year.
9. Geoff – Patrick Kane (Chicago Blackhawks, C, RW)
Kane is explosive, and he gets a ton of points. He's up to have another great year, and is a solid late first round pick.
10. Bruce – Phil Kessel (Toronto Maple Leafs, RW)
Kessel is a goal scorer, and he stays healthy. Another solid late first, early second pick.
Round 2
11. Bruce – Henrik Sedin (Vancouver Canucks, C)
The Sedin twins are aging, and the Canucks aren't looking like the next great thing anymore. His numbers have dipped a bit over the last few seasons. I would think of him as a bit of a gamble. He is reliable to play every game of the season. He's played in every regular season game since 2003.
12. Geoff – Eric Staal (Carolina Hurricanes, C)
Staal's numbers went up last season, and if the Carolina team can stay healthy, they may be able to make a bit of a push. Good pick at this point in the draft.
13. Me – Martin St. Louis (Tampa Bay Lightning, RW)
He's aging, but he had a great year last year, and he's still got Stamkos.
14. J.A. – Claude Giroux (Philadelphia Flyers, C, RW)
Giroux should be ready to start the season. Best player available at that point.
15. Devin – Pekka Rinne (Nashville Predators, G)
I think the Predators are going to be better this season. They made some good additions in the offseason. If they are bad, the upside is that Rinne rarely gives up a lot of goals.
16. Adam – Jonathan Toews (Chicago Blackhawks, C)
Toews will continue to rack up points in Chicago with Kane. Good pick at this point in the draft.
17. Robert – Craig Anderson (Ottawa Senators, G)
Division got a lot tougher. Can he do it again? Sort of a reach, I would be much more comfortable taking him around the #25 area.
18. Patrick – Rick Nash (New York Rangers, LW, RW)
Nash is a bit of a reach here. He's going to put up points, but I think there are better players available at this point. I'd take him late 3rd, early 4th.
19. Dylan – Nicklas Backstrom (Washington Capitals, C)
Backstrom feeds off of Ovechkin, and they rack up points. He's a good player to have, but I might have waited a few more picks.
20. Brendon – Antti Niemi (San Jose Sharks, G)
Niemi is quietly and consistently good. He gets wins, and he doesn't let bad goals get by him. Good pick, I would rather have Niemi than Backstrom.
Round 3
21. Brendon – P.K. Subban (Montreal Canadiens, D)
Good defenseman are a great thing to have. Subban will get points and even throw some PIMs.
22. Dylan – Daniel Sedin (Vanouver Canucks, C)
Same as his brother Henrik, the numbers have dipped, and the whole Vancouver thing. Daniel has had a few injuries, but nothing too crazy over the last few seasons.
23. Patrick – Sergei Bobrovsky (Columbus Blue Jackets, G)
I think Bobrovsky and the Blue Jackets will have a good season this year. Bob will put up good numbers, and he's a steal right here, better than most of the goalies that have been taken already.
24. Robert – Jimmy Howard (Detroit Red Wings, G)
Howard is reliable, and he starts all the time. The Red Wings defense should start to get better, and the Wings are looking at a good season this year. Good pick here.
25. Adam – Jaromir Jagr (New Jersey Devils, RW)
Wait…. That was an accident right?
26. Devin – Taylor Hall (Edmonton Oilers, LW)
His numbers were awesome last season, but can he do better? I think so, not a terrible pick at this point, but there are a few others I would have taken before I would have taken him.
27. J.A. – Erik Karlsson (Ottawa Senators, D)
Karlsson puts up great numbers, and he does it at the defensive postion. He's basically like an extra forward on your roster. I like him more than P.K. and I was really hoping he would take someone else so I could get Karlsson with the next pick.
28. Me – Jonathan Quick (Los Angeles Kings, G)
He was coming off of surgery last season, but he played well later in the year, and proved he can still play. I couldn't pass on having two great goalies at this point.
29. Geoff – Corey Perry (Anaheim Ducks, RW)
I was tempted to grab Perry with my last pick, he's a solid goal scorer, and still has the ability to score 50+.
30. Bruce – Marc-Andre Fluery (Pittsburgh Penguins, G)
He's inconsistent to say the least, and there are a lot of other goalies available that would be better options. I would actually just avoid him honestly.
Round 4
31. Bruce – Mike Smith (Phoenix Coyotes, G)
Another early pick, but I expect him to have a good year this year.
32. Geoff – Henrik Zetterberg (Detroit Red Wings, C, LW)
Zetterberg is consistently good. He gets plenty of ice time, and is likely to be playing with Daniel Alfredsson this year. And then of course there's Datsyuk. Good pick.
33. Me – James Neal (Pittsburgh Penguins, LW, RW)
My internet clicked off as soon as it was my pick, and it autodrafted Neal. I wasn't very happy about it, I wouldn't have taken him here. Would have rather snagged Kris Letang.
34. J.A. – Bobby Ryan (Ottawa Senators, LW, RW)
I think he's going to do well in Ottawa, and I don't think this is an awful pick.
35. Devin – Zach Parise (Minnesota Wild, LW)
He played better as the season went on. If he can get consistent again, he could be a really good player at this point in the draft.
36. Adam – Niklas Backstrom (Minnesota Wild, G)
Bit of a stretch. He's getting older, and will likely start to lost starts soon. I would have waited until the 6th round or so.
37. Robert – Matt Duchene (Colorado Avalanche, C, LW)
He had a decent season, and he should be able to build on it. I would have waited a little longer to take him.
38. Patrick – Ryan Suter (Minnesota Wild, D)
Suter , like Parise, finally settled down, and he started playing better as the season went on. Maybe a bit early, but defenseman are hard to come by so it's hard to argue with it.
39. Dylan – Carey Price (Montreal Canadiens, G)
Price is a solid goalie, but the division just got tougher. Last season wasn't the greatest, look for him to bounce back and have a decent season.
40. Brendon – Anze Kopitar (Los Angeles Kings, C)
Good pick at this point. One of the better players available.
Round 5
41. Brendon – Jordan Eberle (Edmonton Oilers, RW)
The numbers slipped a bit last season, but we know the potential is there for him to be really good.
42. Dylan – Kris Letang (Pittsburgh Penguins, D)
I would have taken him with my last pick, but you know. The internet happened.
43. Patrick – Ryan Getzlaf (Anaheim Ducks, C)
Getzlaf is a good pick here. He's a consistent point getter, and Corey Perry feeds off of him when he's hot.
44. Robert – Tomas Vanek (Buffalo Sabres, LW, RW)
Vanek is a bit streaky, but he's a good player to have. I'm excited to see if he gets traded, it could be great if he goes somewhere with a top notch playmaker. I ended up trading James Neal for him, I was wanting to take him with my next pick.
45. Adam – Zdeno Chara (Boston Bruins, D)
Chara puts up decent numbers for a defenseman, and the +/- is always good. Maybe a few picks early, but not too unreasonable of a stretch.
46. Devin – Corey Crawford (Chicago Blackhawks, G)
Crawford is up for more starts this season without Ray Emery, and if he does as well as he did last year, he could be a great goalie at this point in the draft.
47. J.A. – Alexander Semin (Carolina Hurricanes, LW, RW)
Semin is a goal scorer, and if he can stay healthy he can be great to have. Good time in the draft to grab him.
48. Me – Tyler Seguin (Dalas Stars, C, RW)
I just have a feeling about him this season. We'll see.
49. Geoff – Jason Spezza (Ottawa Senators, C)
The new Ottawa captain has proven he can put up points. I was looking to get him with my next pick #53.
50. Bruce – Shea Weber (Nashville Predators, D)
Weber can get points, it just took him a little while to get going last year. The defense is thin already though.

51. Bruce – Loui Eriksson (Boston Bruins, LW, RW)
52. Geoff – Matt Moulson (New York Islanders, LW)

Kevin Sumlin isn't likely to land with Illinois
By Herb Gould email@example.com December 6, 2011 10:44PM
Houston coach Kevin Sumlin has strong ties to Texas A&M, where he was assistant head coach. | Dave Einsel~AP
Updated: January 8, 2012 10:35AM
Illini Nation was buzzing at reports that Illinois athletic director Mike Thomas appeared close Tuesday night to hiring Houston coach Kevin Sumlin, but Houston sources cautioned that they still expect Sumlin to end up at Texas A&M.
Sumlin, 47, would bring a reputation as an offensive whiz and would be Illinois' first African-American coach in football or men's basketball. He is completing his fourth year at Houston, which leads the nation in scoring (50.7 points per game).
But he already has had dalliances with Arizona State and UCLA, who apparently have backed off under the weight of A&M, where Sumlin was assistant head coach and has many strong ties.
If Sumlin can't be lured, Oklahoma State offensive coordinator Todd Monken, a Wheaton native who directs the nation's No. 2 scoring offense (49.3 points a game), remains a very attractive alternative.
''I have not been interviewed by Illinois and I have no interview set,'' Monken told Oklahoma reporters. ''I'm in Houston recruiting for Oklahoma State University, and I have not heard from anyone about that job.''
Monken said he hasn't been interviewed, but his agent was contacted.
Illinois offensive coordinator Paul Petrino left Tuesday to return to his former post at Arkansas on the staff of his brother, Bobby, whose offensive coordinator already has departed for a head-coaching position.
Illinois' defensive coordinator, Vic Koenning, who's serving as interim coach for Illinois' trip to the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl, would be a popular pick to remain in Champaign. But that would be a decision for Illinois' next coach, who needs the freedom to assemble his own staff.
Whether Monken, who has turned down interest from Tulane and Memphis, is hired at Illinois or elsewhere, he would be the fifth in the last six Oklahoma State offensive coordinators to become a head coach, following Les Miles (LSU), Mike Gundy (Oklahoma State), Larry Fedora (Southern Miss) and Dana Holgorsen (West Virginia).
Sources familiar with the offense of Monken and Sumlin say Monken's offensive upside compares very favorably with Sumlin's.
''Monken uses a spread attack with a commitment to the running game,'' a source said. ''That's why he and Dana will be good head coaches. They're not gimmick guys. They have much more balance than most spread coaches.''
Sumlin, 47, an Indianapolis native who was a standout linebacker at Purdue, was hired by Houston in 2008 after four years at Oklahoma, the last two as co-offensive coordinator.

PLANO, Texas – After celebrating the releases of Star Wars Episodes I and II, Frito-Lay, America's largest snack food maker, announced today that the adventure continues with Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith – this year's most anticipated movie release. The "May The Fun Be With You" program created to reach Star Wars fans in galaxies far, far away, includes Star Wars-themed packaging, an in-bag prize giveaway promotion and in-store displays picturing scenes and characters from across the epic Star Wars saga. The Frito-Lay promotion kicks off nationally in April prior to Revenge of the Sith's May 19, 2005 worldwide release.
New this year, and for a limited time only, Frito-Lay is launching Star Wars-inspired Twisted Cheetos snacks that temporarily change the color of your tongue. Star Wars fans who bite into the ordinary looking Cheetos cheese flavored snacks will be surprised to discover whether they are crunching on either "Darth Vader Dark" or "Yoda Green" colored Cheetos snacks. While Star Wars fans' mouths will mysteriously turn either black or green, fans from both sides of the Force will get the same dangerously cheesy taste.
In specially marked bags of Lay's Classic and Lay's Wavy potato chips, consumers will find a game piece as part of the "May The Fun Be With You" in-bag promotion. Each game piece includes one of 12 exclusive sticker designs featuring Star Wars characters and gives consumers the chance to instantly win a trip for four to Orlando, FL, a home entertainment systems or ticket packages to see Episode III this summer.
"The excitement is building for Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Frito-Lay is thrilled to tap into that excitement with Star Wars fans across the country," said Haston Lewis, vice president, Shopper Marketing, Frito-Lay. "As consumers line-up for Episode III, Lay's and Cheetos will be able to give them a 'taste' of the movie in-store before it opens."
"When we set out to bring the last Star Wars episode to the big screen, we wanted to engage our fans in a celebration that would excite them both inside and outside the theater," said Jim Ward, vice president of Marketing and Distribution for Lucasfilm. "We love that Frito-Lay has taken some of their most-loved snack foods and created a whole new, fun experience for movie-goers that will help make the Star Wars saga even more memorable than before."
Scenes and characters from Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith will jump from the big screen to stores across the country and will be featured on point-of-sale displays and Frito-Lay packaging including Lay's Classic, Lay's Wavy, Lay's Stax, Cheetos and single serve 24-count Multipack offerings. Additionally, the partnership will be supported by a national newspaper coupon in early May.
Frito-Lay North America is the convenient foods division of PepsiCo, which is headquartered in Purchase, NY. In addition to Frito-Lay, PepsiCo divisions include Pepsi-Cola, Quaker Foods, Gatorade and Tropicana.

Southern Illinois anyone?
- 0Nov 22, '10 by NoimanurseNo, not Peoria, I'm talking Southern Illinois. Anyone from Effingham, Salem, Marion, Carbondale, Anna, or Cairo? Just wondering about any issues from our part of the state? I work in a small community hospital, yes, small, we have a med/surg floor, same day surgery, and even an ER. We all seem to work well together for the most part and get things done or at the very least ship'em out. Whats shakn' 618.
- 1,708 Visits
- 0Nov 28, '10 by NoimanurseWell, for the most part I'm fine with where I work presently, but I am trying to find some part-time/prn type of work in different areas to allow different learning experiences. I keep thinking about going for my masters, but when I get close to pulling the trigger I get lazy and put it off, so I figure if I could at least get different experiences at a part-time job I could learn while getting paid.
I was also trying to find other nurses in my area to share ideas with, thanks for the reply, I look forward to communicating more.
- 1Nov 30, '10 by NoimanurseThank you for the information!
- 0Dec 16, '10 by Bob-rnTrip takes about an hour (depending on traffic). As I get older I am less tolerant of the snow, so I'm happy with what we get, and let you 309ers brave it out. St Johns has been good to me, hired me when the market was saturated with RN's and over the years has given me some opportunities for growth and advancement.
- 0Dec 16, '10 by Bob-rnI went back and read earlier post, YOU LIVE IN 618 but WORK IN 309? Last nights trip home took almost 2.5 hours had to stop and scrap freezing rain off of the windshield a few times, plus the max speed of 25 mph wasn't any fun either. I see you are an APN...I'm about halfway through getting ready for the dreaded clinicals this summer. It seems that a lot of preceptors are burnt out and want a break. At first I thought it was me but there are a bunch of us struggling and same with a few from different schools.

No Peeking at Poker Academy Boot CampTweet Share
April 29, 2010 by H.L. Edwards · Leave a Comment
Young Norwegian player Annette Obrestad, the career money leader from Norway at only 21 years-old, will attempt to repeat her famed "no look" performance at the Bluff Europe Poker Academy at the Victoria Casino in London. The Betfair Poker pro will be a part of the camp, also presented by Neil Channing and Nik Persaud from Black Belt Poker, which features discussions on such topics as including variance and bankroll management, analyzing flop textures, and visualizing range equity calculations.
While the camp is already a must-attend for players looking to improve their games, the announcement by Annette_15 adds to the interest. In July 2007, she won a $4 buy-in tournament against a 180-person field where she claimed to have played the entire event while looking at her hole cards only once. She stated that she did this to show, "just how important it is to play position and to pay attention to the players at the table."
While no video of her accomplishment exists, the hand history from the event suggested that she told the truth. On several occasions during the event, she folded pocket kings and pocket aces, a move that would be highly unlikely for players that knew they were holding them.
With the announcement of Obrestad's attempt to recreate her amazing feat, the Bluff Europe Poker Academy looks to be a highly anticipated event. Scheduled for May 8th, the camp will be filled with important topics and the inclusion of the Black Belt Poker team, an online training and strategy site, will make it a successful adventure for those who attend.

Akumal Condo Rental Photos and Description
Two-bedroom, 2 Bath, Spacious Beachfront Condo, In Easy Reach Of All Amenities.
Akumal is a small, quiet community on Mexico's Caribbean coast, about an hour's drive south of Cancun airport. The condo is in a six-unit beach front building. It has two air conditioned bedrooms, two baths (one en-suite), a fully equipped kitchen, spacious living/dining area and huge balcony overlooking the beach. There is a pool on site, as well as a superb restaurant.
Attractions in the area: The Maya ruins of Tulum and Coba are within easy reach. Tulum is about a 15 minute drive, and Coba is 45 minutes or so beyond that. The major Maya ruins at Chichen Itza are a day trip. Several 'theme parks' featuring snorkelling, eco-tours and entertainment are quite close, and the natural underground caves of Aktun Chen are only five minutes away.
Snorkelling and scuba: There is superb snorkelling in Half-Moon Bay right in front of the condo building. Nearby Yal-Ku lagoon is also a popular snorkelling area. For scuba divers, two large dive shops are located in Akumal Bay.
Shopping and Restaurants: The renowned La Lunita restaurant - literally on our doorstep - is open daily from 11 am to 11 pm. You can have meals brought to you in the condo.
There are also several other restaurants in the area featuring local cuisine, as well as Italian or US specialities. A couple of small grocery stores have most things you may need, but if you prefer, there are several large supermarkets in Playa del Carmen.
- Suitability:
- children welcome
- pets not allowed
- wheelchair inaccessible
Guestbook comments from the owner
We loved staying at La Mirage. It was quiet, welcoming, safe, well maintained and immaculate. Staff was helpful and accommodating, and owner was very responsive and patient with my questions. Booking was a breeze and everything was just as we agreed to--no surprises. The location was great, and we took full advantage of snorkeling right at our doorstep. Great eateries next door and within a short walk. The place had lots of lovely Mexican charm. Very relaxing. We can't wait to go back!

Book Excerpt—Johnny Cash: The Life
Published: October 23, 2013
Even though Vivian's father was concerned about his "baby" dating an Air Force man, Vivian's younger sister, Sylvia, remembers that her parents couldn't help but like this polite, respectful young man who said "Yes, ma'am" and "No, sir" without fail. Still, Sylvia recalls, her father was relieved when he learned Johnny was finally leaving for his new assignment in Germany. There was no way, he figured, that the relationship would last.
But Johnny convinced himself that it would. He told Vivian—or "Viv," as he began calling her — that he loved her, would always love her, and wanted to spend his life with her. He told her he would write a letter every day—and he made her promise to do the same.
It was heady stuff for a nineteen-year-old boy, but it was even more of a fairy tale for a seventeen-year-old girl. He seemed so mature in his uniform. She also thought he was smart, caring, a man of faith, and, of course, very, very sexy.
Johnny wanted to make love to her, but she refused. In reality, he probably didn't try that hard, because he didn't want to jeopardize his new dream by giving her the wrong impression of his intentions. One day, he told himself over and over, Vivian Liberto would be Mrs. Johnny Cash and he'd be a singer on the radio. This vision gave him immense comfort as he returned to Dyess in the final days of August. He had promised Viv he would call her before the ship left Brooklyn for West Germany, but he couldn't wait.
On the morning of September 4 he called from Dyess, and she was thrilled to hear his voice. In a letter he wrote her later that same day, he asked her to send him a large photo so he could put it over his bed in Germany and look at it every morning and night. He enclosed a photo he'd had taken at the base. He ended by urging, "Write, honey." Seven days later, he wrote her the first of several letters from Camp Kilmer in New Jersey, where he and other members of what would eventually be named the 6912th Security Squadron were being assembled before they left for Germany. He signed it
"Love, Johnny."

Celebrating the life and legacy of Nelson Mandela

Celebrating the life and legacy of Nelson Mandela
18 July 1918 - 5 December 2013
for now.
Okay, so this is Sam & me.
I love this picture because I think I'm hilariously annoying by posing, knowing he wasn't ready for the picture, and I think he's so cute.
Better pictures to come…eventually…
Now I'm done with the past and being mad about how everything happened, because I have a wonderful man in my life right now. Yes, I was feeling lonely after breaking up with Chase (even lonely when we were still together) so I found comfort in guys that didn't care about me, but when Sam came along, it was no longer about loneliness. When I first met Sam, something inside of me shifted. He felt like the real deal & not just another guy to fill my momentary needs. I want him to fill my lifelong needs. With Sam, I knew I was ready, not just lonely. I want him to be my forever.
(Source: kushandwisdom)
Okay, I don't smoke, but I have a very important reason to be reblogging this.
My ex, Chase, and I broke up because he was a liar. I was sick and tired of him lying to me, gave him way too many chances, and needed to finally stand up for myself. I wasn't willing to wait around for him to lie to me about something actually important. So, when I asked him if he had done any drugs one night, when I knew he had smoked pot and showed up to a friend's party stoned out of his mind, he responded, "No." Then, when I yelled at him about lying to me, his defense was that he doesn't consider marijuana a drug.
THAT IS LITERALLY THE DUMBEST THING EVER. It is LITERALLY a drug. Whatever, I didn't care that he smoked, but he knew I would consider it a drug (because it is) and he deliberately hid it from me.
Long story short, kids, marijuana is a drug, whether you're willing to admit it or not.
I can relate to this
I would like to just get this out there:
I have a wonderful boyfriend named Sam Brown. I have never felt so utterly happy & high on life than I do with him. All of my failed relationships have led me right into his arms. I believe the way I feel is true love. We haven't been dating very long, nor have we even known each other very long, but that's irrelevant to me. Every second that goes by, my heart flutters knowing that he is all mine. I'm already ready to commit the rest of my life to him, to us. Never have I ever wanted anything more than this man. I am, hands down, the luckiest girl in the world and I refuse to do anything to jeopardize this beautiful feeling.

Frequent Thoughts of Suicide
Many people have fleeting thoughts of death. Fleeting thoughts of death do not usually cause problems and are much different from having frequent thoughts of suicide. If you often have thoughts of death and suicide, you need to talk about your suicidal thoughts.
You may think of suicide as the only way to solve your problem and end the pain you are feeling. It may be hard for you to see other solutions. This makes it important to talk about suicidal thoughts with someone. Other people may have a different perspective and may be able to help you find other solutions to your problems and pain.
Don't be afraid to talk about your thoughts of suicide with a family member, friend, doctor, or counselor or to call a suicide hotline. Many people who have suicidal thoughts may think there is no one who can help or who cares. Most often this is not the case. Other people are able and willing to help. You may also wish to contact your local suicide hotline, health department, or the national suicide hotline (1-800-273-TALK or 1-800-273-8255).
Talking about your suicidal thoughts is the first step to finding a way to solve your problems and end your pain.

Using the software, then, I appreciated its functionality iterfaccia always correct and easy to understand even the most novice user.
Now I'm waiting for the software undergoes some further implementation and I think we will buy a stand alone to completely replace CB.
Thanks Jomwall team!
All it does is give you a tab for your "Wall" and clicking on certain links breaks the user out of the CB tab system.
There is no way to integrate fields from CB into Jomwall and vice versa. Sorry, Jomwall but I don't want "Marital Status" as one of the visible items on my user's wall. I do want some of the fields I have added to CB but they cannot be "integrated".
If you're looking for a Wall for your CB platform save your money and keep looking. This is not is.
Thanks for you review, by checking your other reviews you have done here in JED you dont like any of the great extension we developers have to offer???
JomWALL is great WALL System component and that is right it comes with cb plugin comment wall.
As for cb fields, we have added the options to get all cb field you create to be displayed on jomwall-cb and option to be hidden by the users. also option field that comes with jomwall can be hiding too.
JomWALL Team
Jomwall has Great support, excellent service, with a personal touch,
It does'nt just intergrate with community builder but with kenuna forums activity and a whole range of other community chat systems
Including eaayblog and content activities on site, having linked to other developers in its progress jomwall now can merge in and with many other activitiers on a site
Highly recommended
The support team is great, fast, professional, kind and very patient also with me that sometimes I'm quite heavy with requests...so i suggest Jomwall for sure
The most user-friendly behavior should be to have the user's wall always inside the CB profile, and only the public wall to be outside.
Good support, good product, it just lacks of CB 100% compatibility and I can't use it :(
I can't find better joomla extension than Jomwall for social community site who has goal to become flexible collaborate tool.
I use jomwall with CB and my expirience is exelent.
Of course, jomwall can be better than now but we have good support from jomwall team and we have hope in new upgrade (jomwall).
It works as advertised, it installs easily and quickly, and the documentation videos are sufficient for quick installation and set-up.
I haven't yet figured out how to style the software, but I will. Overall, that's a very small point. This is more than a Facebook-style wall, it's effectively real-time collaboration. Highly recommended. I look like a hero thanks to this extension.
It's a big "wow!"
While the product itself is great, the support is even better.
I had a problem with my wall not linking correctly (probably something to do with my site rather than the software) and they fixed it for me PRONTO.
Not only that, but they also fixed a template issue that was happening with the software, without me mentioning it.
Highly reccommend this product to everyone!
Thanks AWD!
The Joomla extension offers a lot of additional functionality for your Joomla site.
Great customer support.
I would like to see two features that I think are pretty important and let me know if they are already available seeing as I have the pro Joomla! version and not the pro CB version. I think that being that this is a community component that it should have the option to only allow friends to post comments and vise versa you should also only be able to see friends comments. The other being when you visit someone's profile you should see their wall not your own. A module would also be outstanding to place the extension itself inside any module position.
Great Product. I do recommend it.
Hi david Please take a look to our new version..it does what you ask and much more!!
Quality of Extension: A+++++
Support: A+++++
Im going to be your customer and fan of your extensions :)
Thank you!
We said that we are working in the solution for your issue... As you know, We change the template in your joomla setup and the wall work because there ware post in the wall.
We know that there is an issue with the gavick templates and is stated in the website... will find the issue soon.
Thanks for your comments

My 3 year anniversary with my boyfriend is next month. I'm thinking about making a few things. I always buy him stuff but I want this to be super special and from the heart. So, I have a few ideas. PLEASE GIVE ME FEEDBACK
1- saw a picture i think on here, it was a deck of cards, and the box said "52 reasons why i love you" I want to do that, maybe even decorate the cards, add pictures, trinkets and memorable things that we've done together?
2- Make a mixbook, this could go along with the cards just as another thing of memories. Has anyone used mixbook/snapfish? Which is better?! I have a rough draft of the mixbook if anyone wants to basically grade it for me????
3- write him a really long letter. Kind of decorate it and give it to him when we go out that night? Maybe make him a dessert that the letter can be attached to? like brownies or something along those lines..

How close was Angelina Jolie to directing Fifty Shades of Grey? Back in 2012, before Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson were even considered for the main roles of Christian and Anastasia, there were reports that Angelina Jolie was in talks to direct the film adaptation of E.L. James' bestselling novel.
Angelina Jolie
Hot and Bothersome
The new movie poster for Maleficent was unveiled yesterday. Evil has never looked so good, right? In Entertainment Weekly, Angelina Jolie talks about how her daughter Vivienne got to play the role of toddler Princess Aurora: "Other three-and four-year old [actors] wouldn't come near me. " They needed a kid who wasn't afraid of the horns, eyes, and claws. Awww. I might have to see the film just so see the cute little debut! Maleficent comes out on May 30. Will you be seeing it?

Single player is slowed down by an obnoxious and unnecessary presentation. But given how well the game works with friends, the sheer variety of trivia, and the brisk pace of the game, we don't feel out of line saying that Scene It? Lights, Camera, Action could be the best and most definitive version out there. And since it comes with four intuitive controllers, costs only a little more than the analog board game, and presents the possibility of downloadable content/future editions, trivia buffs won't want to overlook it.

EPA To Declare Global Warming Slightly Real!
Our Kennedy-dog-having fascist-socialist tea-hating President Barack Obama is going to force the EPA to assert that "greenhouse gas emissions like carbon dioxide endanger human health and welfare," according to Reuters. Do you not think we should take some time to study this crazy idea? Particularly in relation to God's plan. I don't see no seas rising, unless you look at the lies on the Wikipedia.

After the sudden loss of my best buddy for the past 11 years, Beau, it took alot of debating what my family should do.. We have so much love to offer so we decided to start looking just to see what dogs were out there.
Enter Tails of Hope and Wrigley! After reading his story and seeing many "signs" we saw that gave other world connections to our family, we decided to submit an app and were promptly contacted! The emails and attention to answering all our many many questions were very professional and attentitive to our needs... so we decided to make the drive 90 min trip to visit and soooooo glad we did and that day we decided to adopt him.
Wrigley acclimated faster than we could have wished for to his new family and pack!! He was over majority of his shyness and timidness within a month after hard work and constant exposure to new places - people - sights - and sounds.
Hes incredibly loyal to his family of dogs/cat/humans, hes the BIGGEST baby and loving daddys boy, and literally has the worlds biggest heart. We needed him as much as he needed us. Surprisingly, he also helped get our cat and older Lab (and 11/9 yr companions of our lost dog) OUT of their very concerning depression.. as well as my grief over our loss of Beau. Wrigley has made such an impact on our family... such an important shift for the better. We will be forever grateful to Megan and Tails of Hope for helping us match with the perfect dog because we just cant even imagine not coming home to that happy boy and all his love.
Tails of Hope rescues dogs who are facing euthanasia. Tails of Hope does not take dogs from the public (owner surrenders).
We are not a facility. We are a network of private foster homes.
Please see our link "Adopt an Animal" to review our requirements for applying for a Tails of Hope rescued dog.

Due to the Thanksgiving Holiday many shows are taking a hiatus this week. Being that White Collar usually airs on Thursday, the actual day of Thanksgiving, there will be no new episode of White Collar this week.
Don't worry too much, though. White Collar will be back next week with an all-new episode entitled 'Quantico Closure'.
Things are going to get interesting real quickly when one of Peter's ex-girlfriends, a woman by the name of Jill, comes back into the picture. Not that Elizabeth has ever been a particularly jealous person, but when she sees Peter and Jill together, the little green monster inside her starts to get antsy.
The fact that the two of them are working together on a classified espionage case together can't be helping matters any.
Meanwhile, Neal delves further into the mystery of the codex. Will Neal get any closer to revealing its secrets?
Do you need to get caught up on the series? Maybe you are just looking for a quick refresher? Well, we have your solution right here. You can watch the latest episodes free online via USA Network Online and HULU Plus. You can also watch new episodes of White Collar on Amazon Instant Video.
White Collar airs on Thursday nights at 9:00 p.m. on USA Network.

Qh yes, of course... because there is no AD (I.E. your server is Windows 7 not S2008). *bumps head*, I totally forgot about that! My crap excuse is that I'm travelling so I couldn't test first like I like too (i.e. My travel netbook is on XP).
So.... you can't deny the computer because there is no AD control you need to control the access locally and per user.
ZigZag understood from the start! Props there!
When the users connect, you need to have password sharing enabled (i.e. they must put in a password to enter the shared computer (they can always save this so they need not enter it next time). You now need 2 local users on the Windows 7 computer, e.g. call them user1 and user2 with their own respective passwords. Don't make them ADMIN users.
Note that you also need to remap the drives and use these logins and passwords for the drive mapping.
Now user1 has access to everything, so on the outside folder give them complete access (or read only as you desire, including access to the special folder inside). Repeat this action for user2. Now go to the special folder that you only want user1 to have access to. right click on it and select properties/security. On the permissions tab, have a look and write down the current permission settings (this is an important reducndancy step should something you do fail later). Now look for a tickbox to inherit parent permissions and untick this. Now give permissions only to those users that you want to access this folder. Be aware that you probably need SYSTEM and CREATOR OWNER on there.
Like all good plans, switch user to user1 on the Windows 7 box and test that they can locally access what they are supposed to. Repeat with User2. Now remap the drives with the new passwords and give the passwords out to the users.
This should fix your issue.

These are great! I love true red flowers, with no hints of pink. These really bring the crimson color to my garden. They will bloom again if cut back right after the first flowers bloom, so put them in a vase and enjoy! Even the foliage has red in it.

The Hazards of Dumping Yard Waste Into Streams
By Dale Frazier of G.O.A.L.
There seems to be a common belief that dumping grass clippings and yard waste into our local woods and streams is a "natural" way to dispose of them. In fact, there are many detrimental effects associated with this practice. Dumping grass clippings, leaves, and branches can be devastating to the health of these areas. Our natural systems quickly become overloaded with high concentrations of these materials, as a result, they break down slowly, clogging storm drains and making our streams stagnant. This backup of debris also contributes to local flooding when it rains.
When dumped materials do decompose, bacteria deplete the water of dissolved oxygen (DO) and release excess nutrients into the water. Dissolved Oxygen, (DO) is the amount of oxygen in a given quantity of water. Low DO levels kills the macroinvertebrates that consume the leaves that enter our streams naturally and keep our water clean. Macroinvertebrates in turn serve as food for the fish and turn into Damselflies, Dragonflies, and other important members of the ecosystem. Once they die from low DO, our streams fallow and we end up with brackish, foul smelling, dead, mosquito breeding grounds. Excess nutrients cause algae blooms that further depletes DO levels. Grass clippings from a lawn that has fertilizers applied to it intensifies the effect. Do not use more fertilizer than you need (check with a soil test), if at all. During a rain lawn chemicals runoff from your yard and wash down into storm drains, local streams and the Delaware River.
In addition to degrading water quality, when these yard wastes decompose in large piles they can create heat that can reach temperatures high enough to start fires when not properly aerated or turned over. Fires are illegal in most areas and can result in fines. Properties close to areas used for yard waste dumping have experienced fires and high mosquito and tick populations which can carry Lyme disease or west Nile Virus.
Grass clippings and leaves can be better utilized as a natural compost in gardens, flower beds, and mulched directly into your lawn or you can dispose of at a local composting facility.
Inform your neighbors of these issues. If you see any one dumping items on our shared greenbelts do not confront them, discreetly take down license plate information, and contact your local police department. After all, this is illegal dumping and it damages the ecology.
For more information on this and other environmental concerns contact your local Municipality's Environmental Advisory Committee, (EAC) or visit www.LtownGoal.com.

Separation is??:
Separation of oil and gas is a critical field processing operation.
As producing pressure is increased and lighter condensates are produced, efficient separation has become more critical than ever.
As gas transmission lines raise their standards, separation becomes a part of the overall field processing necessary to condition the gas.
Selecting gas/liquid separation technologies requires not only knowledge of the process conditions, but knowledge of the characteristics of the liquid contaminants.
Selection should be made based on the droplet size, concentration, and whether the liquid has waxing or fouling tendencies.
Three principles used to achieve physical separation of gas and liquids or solids??:
gravity settling,
Any separator may employ one or more of these principles; however, the fluid Phases must be immiscible and have different densities for separation to occur.
Momentum force: is utilized by changing the direction of flow and is usually employed for bulk separation of the fluid phases.
The gravitational force: is utilized by reducing velocity so the liquid droplets can settle out in the space provided. Gravity segregation is the main force that accomplishes the separation, which means the heaviest fluid settles to the bottom and the lightest fluid rises to the top.
Coalescing: However, very small droplets such as mist cannot be separated practically by gravity. These droplets can be coalesced to form larger droplets that will settle by gravity.
Gravity separators is??
Gravity separators are pressure vessels that separate a mixed-phase stream into gas and liquid phases that are relatively free of each other.
In a gravity separator, gravitational forces control separation, and the efficiency of the gas/liquid separation is increased by lowering the gas velocity.
Because of the large vessel size required to achieve settling, gravity separators are rarely designed to remove droplets smaller than 250 μm .
This limitation could be rephrased as gravity separators can only separate free oil/water droplet out of the raw gas stream.
Gravity separator Classify by:
Their geometrical configuration (vertical, horizontal)
And by their function (two-phase/three-phase separator).
"Two phase" if they separate gas from the total liquid stream
"Three phase" if they also separate the liquid stream into its crude oil and water-rich phases.
According to their operating pressure.
Low-pressure units handle pressures of 10 to 180 psi.
Medium-pressure separators operate from 230 to 700 psi.
High pressure units handle pressures of 975 to 1500 psi.
Separators are sometimes called "scrubbers" when the ratio of gas rate to liquid rate is very high.
These vessels usually have a small liquid collection section and are recommended only for the following items;
• Secondary separation to remove carryover fluids from process equipment such as absorbers and liquid dust scrubbers.
• Gas line separation downstream from a separator and where flow lines are not long.
• Miscellaneous separation where the gas–liquid ratio is extremely high.
All gravity separators normally have the following components or features and in compliance to API Spec 12J, 1989:
• A primary gas/liquid separation section with an inlet divertor to remove the bulk of the liquid from the gas.
• A gravity-settling section providing adequate retention time so that proper settling may take place.
• A mist extractor at the gas outlet to capture entrained droplets or those too small to settle by gravity.
• Proper pressure and liquid-level controls.
Horizontal Gravity Separator
The fluid enters the separator and hits an inlet diverter.
This sudden change in momentum generates the initial bulk separation of liquid and gas.
The inlet diverter contains a downcomer that directs the liquid flow below the oil/water interface.
This forces the inlet mixture of oil and water to mix with the water continuous phase in the bottom of the vessel and rise through the oil/water interface.
This process is called "water washing" and promotes the coalescence of water droplets that are entrained in the oil continuous phase.
The inlet diverter assures that little gas is carried with the liquid, and the water wash assures that the liquid does not fall on top of the gas/oil or oil/water interface, mixing the liquid retained in the vessel and making control of the oil/water interface difficult.
The liquid-collecting section of the vessel provides sufficient time so that the oil and emulsion form a layer or "oil pad" at the top.
The free water settles to the bottom. The produced water flows from a nozzle in the vessel located upstream of the oil weir.
An interface level controller senses the height of the oil/water interface. The controller sends a signal to the water dump valve, thus allowing the correct amount of water to leave the vessel so that the oil/water interface is maintained at the design height.
The gas flows horizontally and outs through a mist extractor (normally known as a demisting device) to a pressure control valve that maintains constant vessel pressure.
Vertical Gravity Separator:
The flow enters the vessel through the side as in the horizontal separator
The inlet diverter separates the bulk of the gas from the liquid.
The gas moves upward, usually passing through a mist extractor to remove suspended mist, and then the dry gas flows out.
A downcomer is required to transmit the liquid collected through the oil–gas interface (oil layer) so as not to disturb the oil-skimming action taking place.
A chimney is needed to equalize gas pressure between the lower section and the gas section.
The spreader or downcomer outlet is located at the oil–water interface.
From this point as the oil rises any free water trapped within the oil phase separates out.
The water droplets flow countercurrent to the oil. Similarly, the water flows downward and oil droplets trapped in the water phase tend to rise countercurrent to the water flow.
It should be clear that the principles of operation (such as oil/water interface level controlling) of three-phase vertical separators are the same as the three-phase horizontal separators.
Essentially, the only difference is that horizontal separators have separation acting tangentially to flow, whereas vertical separators have separation acting parallel to flow.
In the vertical separator, level control is needed in spite of the fact that the liquid level can fluctuate several inches without affecting operating efficiency. However, liquid level can affect the pressure drop for the downcomer pipe (from the demister), therefore affecting demisting device drainage.
Gravity Separators Selection
Horizontal Separators
• Large volumes of gas and/or liquids.
• High-to-medium gas/oil ratio (GOR) streams.
• Foaming crudes.
• Three-phase separation.
• Require smaller diameter for similar gas capacity as compared to vertical vessels.
• No counterflow (gas flow does not oppose drainage of mist extractor).
• Large liquid surface area for foam dispersion generally reduces turbulence.
• Larger surge volume capacity.
• Only part of shell available for passage of gas.
• Occupies more space unless "stack" mounted.
• Liquid level control is more critical.
• More difficult to clean produced sand, mud, wax, paraffin, etc.
Vertical Separators
• Small flow rates of gas and/or liquids.
• Very high GOR streams or when the total gas volumes are low.
• Plot space is limited.
• Ease of level control is desired.
• Liquid level control is not so critical.
• Have good bottom-drain and clean-out facilities.
• Can handle more sand, mud, paraffin, and wax without plugging.
• Less tendency for re-entrainment.
• Has full diameter for gas flow at top and oil flow at bottom.
• Occupies smaller plot area
• Require larger diameter for a given gas capacity.
• Not recommended when there is a large slug potential.
• More difficult to reach and service top-mounted instruments and safety devices.
3.3 Filter Separators
Filter separators are designed to remove small liquid and/or solid particles from gas streams.
Contaminants of this small size can be removed most effectively by passing the gas through a fine high-quality filtering medium.
Several configurations of filter separators are used, depending upon the required efficiency and on whether liquids or solids or both are to be removed.
Some filter elements have collection efficiencies of 98 percent of the 1-micron particles and 100 percent of the 5-micron particles when operated at rated capacity and recommended filter-change intervals.
A simple dry-gas filter separator: Where removal of dry solids is the only requirement, this configuration is used.
A dry-gas filter separator is used in pipelines carrying under-saturated gas.
When both liquid and solid contaminants must be removed from the gas, a two-compartment vessel; Liquid is coalesced, and solid particles are filtered from the gas by a glass-fiber element. Solids are retained by the element, while liquids are agglomerated by wetting the surface of the fiber glass.
Filter Elements
A standard filter element is made of a perforated metal cylinder with gasketed ends for compression sealing.

3.5 Practical Separator Design
The most important areas to ensure a separator performs to design are as follow:
• Correct inlet nozzle sizing and a good inlet device (momentum breaker).
• Primary fluid distribution plates to translate the reduced but still high velocities from the inlet device into quiescent flows in a liquid–liquid separator body.
• Intermediate fluid distribution when necessary.
• Exit devices: vortex breakers.
