Having two issues:
1. When I click on a tab the whole page moves down slightly, clicking through them moves the page down substantially. There may be an invisible element coming from the theme I'm not sure.
2. I had five tabs which worked well, I just tried adding a sixth by copying and pasting within the page(and yes the short codes are there) but it wont show up on the site when I go to publish it. I cut and pasted it onto the middle of the content and still no joy.
Is there a tab number limit?
Bearing in mind I have styled the tabs significantly, to appear full with on mobile, as its a one page responsive site with scrolling nav ( and I'm not sure if I styled it correctly).

I used to be big into Maddox. Like...four years ago. I think once he started writing his book everything went downhill. That, or I just grew out of him. I thought his April Fools joke was funny; I'll give him that. His hate mail, crappy childrens art, and movie reviews are by far the best. Oh, and 'I hate Cameron Diaz'.
Megan, where have YOU been the last 5 years? I figured Maddox's page was common knowledge by now.
Everyone has to realize that the Stranger staff have only recently discovered the internets. Take it easy on 'em.
I forget, is Maddox from Something Awful? I recognize the name but I'm not sure where from.
Isn't Maddox the cruft I get under my skateboard when I cut thru the dog park?
The other blogger to look up is Maddox's friend Tucker Max. Show his site to ECB and watch her head explode.
1. Also, keep in mind that he hasn't posted much in the last couple years. he used to crank out material with some regularity. Now he'll disappear for months at a time.
Show ECB any number of Maddox (as well as Tucker Max) articles and watch her head explode.
Maddox is that guy in the Marvel Universe who can make doubles of himself.
And yeah it was really great for about 3 days around 5 years ago, but his little grr I'm so angry routine wore thin rather quickly.
Wait, no Madrox is the Marvel guy.
My bad.
How did ECB make it this far in life without her head exploding?
She has special powers.
Maddox is a dumbass
i read Maddox's book in one (free) sitting in a Borders in Redmond--I don't recommend it. but Tucker Max's book (I hope they serve beer in hell) is one of the funniest things i have ever read. we break it out every time we get drunk and do an open reading of one of his stories. my personal favorite is "Tucker Max tries butt sex, hilarity does not ensue"
Hello 1997!! lol It's awesome you found him though because he is fairly, well...awesome.
I remember the other day when someone mocked The Stranger staff for finding some YouTube video that everyone already knew about.
At first I was just like, "whoa, lay off, i mean not everyone sits on the Internets all day finding sweet-ass funny videos to watch, all right?"
Now I'm like, "it's so true!"
She just discovered Maddox, eh? Coming up next, Megan Seling discovers blackpeopleloveus.com, Bonsai Kitten, Goatse, and shit everyone else saw 10 minutes after using the world wide web for the first time a dozen or so years ago.
I wonder if she was one of the folk who claimed they didn't get the 'Internet', they signed up for the world wide web! Oh that would be deliciously horrid!
Hey Megan, theres a cool site called "lemon party". Google it and write a story on it pls?
Jesus christ, it's like you reporters have jobs and don't spend all day on the internet or something.
Maddox does not rule, because he does not update his site very often. That is all!

I've got two separate programs running that each generate a log file (one is the output of device attached to a serial port, the other is the debug messages sent from a program commanding the aforementioned device).
What I'd like to be able to do is to correlate the debug messages printed by the commanding software with the responses received from the serial device. However, because the two programs are separate, it's not possible for me to have a look at a debug message in one file and figure out what data was sent back from the serial port at the same time.
What I'd like to find is something that can take the file streams of the two programs and combine them into one file.
I imagine a solution might work like this:
I'd set up the two programs to save their log files to two "virtual files", which would be created and monitored by this solution. The solution would continually monitor these virtual files and save their output to another file as an when data is written to the files.

In his latest Huffington
Post column,
former Reason writer Radley Balko notes the
controversy over special prosecutor Angela Corey's decision to
charge George Zimmerman with second-degree murder, as opposed
o manslaughter, in Trayvon Martin's death. Given the
circumstances in which Zimmerman shot Martin—during a violent
struggle in which Zimmerman claims he feared for his life—it seems
unlikely that he acted "from ill will, hatred, spite, or an evil
intent," as Florida's
standard jury instruction for second-degree murder requires.

\nWhat's worrisome how freely we manipulate these complex and ok "sophisticated" ecosystems, and how comfortable we are in our belief that we can ascertain and deal with the consequences of altering something that is more complex than what we are capable of creating ourselves.

\nThe key is to eat local seafood that comes from fishermen who live in your community-' + '-they have just as much at stake in terms of viable fisheries and are generally active in conservation... although it may not toe the agenda-driven narrative coming from PEW and NOAA.
\nYou want to help the world's oceans and fish populations? Lobby the UN to stop turning a blind eye to fishing fleets from 3rd and 2nd world countries and, most importantly: ASIA. Lobby your congressmen to join those who want to keep foreign fishing fleets out of our Federal Waters. Stop eating imported seafood of ANY kind.
\nJust another tidbit: NC Shrimpers are collectively coming together right now to address reducing and in some cases eliminating by-catch and seafloor habitat interaction in their fishery. Some of the finer points they have come up address the regulations as to where TED's and FED's are supposed to be placed on a trawl (current placement mandated by the feds is not optimum and it's illegal to put them anywhere else... even if it means 100% safe turtle ejection), ways to add additional sorting nets within a trawl that immediately directs by-catch (currently illegal, period), adding culling tanks on the boats, shortening trawl times, etc...
\nMy point is, these folks know that we're all in this together. There is no such thing as an industrial shrimping operation in NC, these folks own maybe two traditional shrimp trawlers at most. So, I support these people by buying as much NC seafood as I can afford and refusing to eat ANY seafood that comes any further away than the East Coast.
\nSorry for the rant, I've just got a chip on my shoulder about the "all fishermen are killing the ocean" narrative...

Keeping the scope larger, I think we humans should acknowledge that we actually aren't the center of the universe, yet only one species on a planet of millions of species, in a solar system in a galaxy of billions of stars, in a universe of billions of galaxies.

but seriously tho i think it was timothy Leary who said that we have already "soiled the nest" and the only hope of mankinds preservation is in the stars, at the gates of space travel. I agree, but don't agree entirely. If we don't live to live sustainable and in harmony with our own planet as a species, well just be like those aliens in Independence Day that Will Smith had to **** Up. Just being aliens, cruising the galaxy, and raping planets dry for their resources, killing whatever lifeforms try to stop us, and moving on to the next planet when the one we just raped is a mere husk. We stand at an evolutionary precipice right now both consciously and physically. A crossroads if you will, kinda like what Luke faced in Star Wars. We can either transcend to become a harmonic constructive entity of nature, spreading virtue and health throughout the universe, or we can become destructive consumptive entities, an essential virus on the existential plane we inhabit.

Hey Trevolution, do you give out parking tickets all baked and shoot? When is A&E doing a Wrightsville beach version of PARKING WARS?
I give you credit Trevolution. You try on here. Since my return it's like everyone has been sedated on here. Yeah, yeah it was usually nothing but five word posts from dudes who take this stuff way too seriously, but there's some cool people on here. They should know who they are. But there's also a lot of delusional types who think they are "proper" and think they know what they are talking aboot. People report each other on here. A SURFING WEBSITE !! They tattletale if they don't like someone's content because THEY don't agree with it or it's not up to their "standards." That's crazy and pathetic. Sissies.
But Trevolution, you got substance to you. As for being college-aged, yeah so what dudes? He's more philosophical than most others. I guess, Trevolution, that there's alot of older, jelaous dudes out there who probably don't surf too well and they get upset. It sucks getting old, Trevolution. Try not to. Ha............

Union executive director Jordan Williams said an Otago
University study led by Associate Prof Nick Wilson on
Wellington's street-connecting walkways equated to ''counting
graffiti and rubbish''.
''Ten years after it was revealed that high school students
were getting NCEA credits for picking up rubbish, our
universities are doing academic studies into the graffiti and
litter in walkways.
''A toddler could alert you that an alleyway is dirty, but at
Otago it appears to count as academic study,'' Mr Williams
Taxpayers paid for Otago University to produce ''real
science'', and for councils to maintain walkways.
''Our advice to both is to stick to their knitting, rather
than be led by spin and `surveys' that are self-evident.
''Otago's byline `Your place in the world' should be more
aspirational than counting graffiti and rubbish.''
Prof Wilson yesterday struck back, saying the study, which
was published in an international peer-reviewed journal,
looked into issues that put people off walking.
''Data on litter and graffiti was just a small part of it,
but these are non-trivial issues if they put people off
walking and cost the council a lot of money,'' he said.
No university funds were spent conducting the study, which
was done by Prof Wilson and his colleagues in their spare
''Ironically, if cities were more walkable, then this would
save taxpayer funds on healthcare services by preventing
cancer, diabetes and heart disease.''
Being a scientific study meant it was outside the scope of
routine council activities and the fact its authors were
independent gave it more weight.
''This means that the public and other scientists may find
the results more credible.''

With bike content and a quote by Scott: http://triblive.com/news/allegheny/3424421-74/avenue-penn-crashes
How do you spend a million bucks on "traffic signals, signage and pavement markings" on a 2 mile stretch of Penn? Let's see, I bet it's by installing the same shitty synchronized/ped-unfriendly light system like on Penn in E. Lib that they keep touting and calling it a "safety improvement". I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it.
Also nice of them to tabulate each direction separately in order to make it harder for a road to make the list. That makes so much sense.
steevo #
Those stats are weird.
edmonds59 #
Saw this article, maddening. Penndot has all this data and knows the facts, and yet their "improvements" consist of nothing better than spitting into the ocean.
Elmo #
Traffic enforcement is such a joke in the city. Use what tools we have at our disposal now (speed traps, DUI checkpoints) to make some sort of immediate impact while the good folks at PennDOT craft another "solution".
edmonds59 #
City cops view traffic duty as beneath them, it's the lowest possible assignment* (*bro in law. Ugh.). They're more concerned about getting easy overtime security duties.
Ahlir #
It's useful to note direction of travel: it tells you something about which side of the road has the problems to fix.
edmonds59 #
Maybe some of the accidents are attributable to drunks trying to go north on an east/west road. :/
pinky #
Also, my *favorite* stretch of West Carson (between the Ft Pitt and West End bridges) is #3. Not surprising considering the joke of a 35 mph speed limit, the narrow roadway, lack of center divider, and confusing West End Circle.
I've seen so many near misses heading south (er – east?) as cars jockey to get around the buses that it surprises me that the northbound stretch is more dangerous.
Marko82 #
Ok, I had to double check – 837 South (Carson st.) would be traveling upriver. So the more dangerous North direction would be coming from Homestead headed *toward* all the bars. Maybe they are afraid that they are going to miss happy hour?
Ahlir #
Yeah, looks like up-river E. Carson goes south.
Benzo #
I really hate that intersection at penn / penn circle / center. They have the right turn lane (from center ave) with a green light while they have the pedestrian signal lit to cross penn. When there are actually people trying to cross here, it's a dangerous situation, especially outside of rush hour when there are fewer, faster cars.
Marko82 #
Ok, I just got back from a quick run to the strip for provisions (I refuse to be snowed in without some Parma sausage). My route takes me on the stretch of East Carson down by the steelers practice field & the FBI building. On the "North" side of the road right where the road turns there is a light pole smashed and laying on the side of the road with quite a few pieces of car spread around. This is one of those telephone pole sized poles only made of metal and it's base is several feet off of the roadway beyond a substantial curb. This must have happened yesterday because I didn't see it on Sunday when I went through.
pinky #
I was thinking about this more and wondering, why split each road into a different category based on direction of travel? So in the example cited in the article, what side of the road would a head on collision count for? The side of the driver at fault? Or the side of impact?
It's a weird division that only really seems suitable for divided highways. Does anyone know what the reasoning would be behind this?
floggingdavy #
i couldnt imagine the revenue this city could generate if it simply enforced the use of turn signals.
Pierce #
Today there was a crash on 885, uphill, on Lebanon Rd
An SUV rear ended a car, both going uphill; not quite sure how it happened, but I'm going to guess either tailgating or inattention played a role
Marko82 #
Video of above wreck on carson – 2 vehicles with jeep on roof, booster seat beside car; I hope the child is ok.
Andrew #
5 of the top 16 are on Saw mill run blvd / Clairton blvd / aka 51. Please avoid biking on 51 as much as possible. Ugh it's so bad.
I am also surprised 28 wasn't on the list.

To succeed in today's dynamic industry, retailers need to offer a seamless shopping experience that never loses sight of customer needs, both in-store and online.
YCD Multimedia, a provider of professional digital signage software solutions, has promoted Sam Losar, currently its president of US operations, to CEO.
The shopping habits of today's consumers have changed; retailers must be able to provide the product information they want through one or more of the marketing channels they may frequent — and all of those communications must be consistent with the physical in-store experience.
GERMANTOWN, Md. — Hughes Network Systems, a provider of broadband satellite solutions and a leading provider of managed network services, announced that it will unveil at Digital Signage Expo the latest additions to its digital media solutions lineup designed to increase employee and customer satisfaction through high-impact video.
Hughes Digital Associate enables customers to easily browse products and services on a touchscreen display and drill down into the details using engaging videos, graphics and photos.
James Cordero, senior director of Walmart's Smart Network, is among four new appointees to the advisory board of the Digital Signage Expo.

As I announced on Twitter and Facebook
Follow the lives of Viago (Taika Waititi), Deacon (Jonathan Brugh), and Vladislav (Jemaine Clement) - three flatmates who are just trying to get by and overcome life's obstacles-like being immortal vampires who must feast on human blood. Hundreds of years old, the vampires are finding that beyond sunlight catastrophes, hitting the main artery, and not being able to get a sense of their wardrobe without a reflection-modern society has them struggling with the mundane like paying rent, keeping up with the chore wheel, trying to get into nightclubs, and overcoming flatmate conflicts.
The Dracula project to promote Transylvania as tourism destination represents the most profitable strategy that can be found for the development of the tourism in this region, according to a release of the Romanian Federation of Tourism and Service Employers (FPTS) remitted to Agerpres.
RED SONJA VS DRACULA: Secret plans are revealed, and the tables begin turning...but Sonja and her allies may have woefully underestimated the Dark Prince. Blood and steel will play a part, as they always do, but this issue's real battle will be won by the warrior with the strongest will.
Blood has been a symbol of life since very ancient times. The blood in our veins has always been iconic of our continuing life. To lose too much blood is to lose consciousness, breath, and eventually, our very lives. If a person or animal is already dead and is cut open, blood does not flow. Only the living have blood that flows. Blood has been used throughout the ages as a ceremonial sacrifice.
THR reports that Chaney Entertainment, a company run by Lon Chaney Jr.'s heirs, is reminding Universal about the Chaney legacy with a lawsuit that seeks $1 million in damages for exploiting the dead star's likeness.

Such a cold and lonely place.
Warmth will never be a problem as I think of your smile.
Would you light a candle as I fly past?
Friends, forever love. It's as it should be. Not as it seemed.
Never alone...as I look down and search for your face...
Would you look for me as I go by?
With thoughts of you space and time can not last.
But I'll never be cold when I see that beautiful smile.
Your eyes light up like stars have never dreamed.
Up there...Up in the night's sky...
I died again tonight...
I jumped off that cliff and woke up on the rebound..
Alive again...Kissed the devil while angels watched.
Dreams filled with blood...Hunted or the hunter.
They never win...Just me in the end.
Woken from death...Yearning for a fight.
Smiling as I put my knuckles in someones face.
You deserve so much better.
They all are trying to get to second base.
But they'll never get that it's not a race.
Time's better spent getting to know you.
The vampire has long been established as a powerful icon of our culture. Many are tempted to believe that the power and popularity of the fanged beast are simply explained by our collective love for danger.
Yes, the vampire is dangerous. There is no question that he (or she!) has taken his position among horror monsters that will survive the ages. However, few creatures inspire the kind of devotion you find in followers of the vampire. Few people are as fascinated with the mummy or Frankenstein's monster as they are with the creatures of the night.

WELLESLEY, Mass. – It looked as though Wellesley was going to be in for a dog fight, as No. 5 seed Bridgewater-Raynham grabbed a second-quarter lead in the teams' Division 1 South quarterfinal on Tuesday. But then the fourth-seeded Raiders found another gear, taking a lead in the final two minutes of the first half that they would not relinquish, en route to a 14-8 win.
"The looks were there in the first half, but we were just playing pretty sloppy," Wellesley attack John Caraviello said. "We weren't catching and throwing and our shooting was pretty bad. Then, we came out in the second quarter … Then, we started sharpening up and our offense started to click then."
Caraviello scored two of his team-high four goals within a six-second span of the second quarter. The tying and go-ahead goals – which put Wellesley (16-4) ahead, 5-4 – scored at 2:14 and 2:08 of the second proved an insurmountable momentum shift from which the Trojans (17-3) would not recover.
"Coming out of the half, we felt like we can play with these guys," B-R head coach Matt Connolly said. "There's no doubt about that, but then they went on a little bit of a run."
The Raiders outscored B-R 5-2 in the third quarter and then distanced themselves scoring four straight goals to start the fourth quarter.
Wellesley advances to play at Duxbury in a section semi-final, Thursday at 4:30 p.m.
In too deep: The Raiders had a more than balanced attack, as nine different players scored goals. While Caraviello and Kerry Lyne (hat trick) paced the offense, no other Wellesley player had more than one goal.
"They were sliding pretty quickly, so when I got a step, I didn't have anywhere to go," said Caraviello, who also dished out three assists. "I was just trying to keep my head up and look for Kerry [Lyne] and Brian [Pederson] and the kids around the crease."
While the Raiders were undaunted in the second half, it was Caraviello's late string of two goals in six seconds that got Wellesley heading into the break.
After tying the game, Raiders faceoff man Tucker Dietrick (1 G, 1 A) won the draw cleanly, streaking up the middle of the field before dishing off to Caraviello to the side of the cage for the goal. Dietrick went on to win 14 of 19 faceoffs on the day.
"They have a tough faceoff guy and Tucker got those two and moved the ball," Wellesley head coach Rocky Batty said. "We had looks inside early, but we watched the ball, or we cradled once and they took it out our hands really quickly. Getting those [goals] were a big deal."
Rahill answers the call: While the game wasn't in doubt for most of the second half, without Tim Rahill in the cage, things might have been much different for the Raiders.
Rahill made 14 saves – the bulk of which came in the first half. Although B-R attack Travis Reid still got his, leading all scorers with six goals, Wellesley turned up the defensive intensity in front of Rahill, slowing B-R's offense to a halt in the second half.
"We knew they had two very good players [Reid and Gavin Perry] and they played very well today," Rahill said, "but just stuck to our slide packages and played though."
Part of that matchup was left to Wellesley midfielder Matt Dziama, whom Batty praised for his contributions which didn't show up on the scorehseet.
"Matt is one of the most outstanding short-stick D-middies that I've coached," Batty said. "And when we say we're going to have to focus on four or five areas of the field, he's going to be one of those."
Another step for program: In its sixth year of varsity competition, Connolly can say his squad accomplished many things despite bowing out of the tournament. The Trojans finished their Maritime Conference schedule undefeated for the first time in program history. They also won a tournament game for the second straight season.
"I love this group, they've been unbelievable to coach," Connolly said. "It starts with our senior leadership. Obviously, Travis [Reid] and Gavin [Perry], they get their names in the paper all the time, but our senior leadership, they do all the little things."

ASHBURN, Va. -- On the seventh day, Albert Haynesworth rested again.
This time, he had some company, and he also got to chat with the commissioner.
The fitness of the Washington Redskins defensive lineman remains unresolved one week into training camp. Haynesworth did not attempt the team's conditioning test Wednesday morning for the second straight day, and won't be allowed to practice until he passes the test.
He's been hampered in recent days by a sore left knee and isn't expected to try the test again until the problem subsides.
"The knee's still getting a lot of treatment," coach Mike Shanahan said. "He's in here early, getting treatment three times a day, he's got a lot of work on that treadmill, so hopefully he passes it in the near future."
Haynesworth's last attempt came Monday, when he pulled up after 150 yards of sprints because of irritation in the knee.
For a change, Haynesworth wasn't the only player standing around watching practice. Shanahan gave several older veterans -- including Clinton Portis, Larry Johnson, London Fletcher, Joey Galloway, Santana Moss and Phillip Daniels -- a day off from contact.
"We try to give them a little bit of a break," Shanahan said. "I've done that throughout my career with older players, and it seems to protect them a little bit."
After practice, Haynesworth did some individual work hitting the block shed.
Haynesworth is the only Redskins player required to take the conditioning test because he stayed away from the team's offseason conditioning program.
Haynesworth later spoke briefly with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who met with Redskins players during a tour of training camps.
"Albert wants to play football and he wants to get out there and he needs to be able to do that," Goodell said. "But he needs to get himself in proper shape to be able to do that."
Goodell said he had no immediate plans to intervene in the matter.
"I don't look for things to do," Goodell said. "If I can play a helpful role and there's some way that I could help, of course I would evaluate it at the time. But I think these are issues that teams and players go through all the time and they need to get resolved in a way that works for everybody."
Goodell was asked if he has ever run a conditioning test.
"Oh, yes," he answered.
Did he pass it?
"Yes," said Goodell, taking mock offense while reporters laughed. "What? Does that surprise you?"

Great plugin! Many thanks....
I am not sure if I have overlooked a response to this elsewhere in the forum - apologies if so!
Is there a way to change the size of the tooltip highlighter points on a line chart? So, in other words, each point on the line has a circular point that appears to be classed as "jqplot-highlighter-tooltip"....can this be made smaller somehow?
Thanks for your help!

Comments about Whirlpool 26.8 Cu. Ft. French Door Refrigerator - Monochromatic Stainless Look:
Three year old unit has been repaired three times in 9 months. 2nd and 3rd repairs lasted less than 3 weeks before unit failed to cool, make ice, or keep things frozen. Warranty tech wants to damage out and warranty company keeps ordering installing new parts. At this point I have thrown out the contents of this unit 4 times. Total lemon and I a, caught in the middle!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Total disappointment
By nonsense question
from Chicago Illinois
I've had this refrigerator for 2 years, just as the warranty expired it started leaking water under the freezer door. None of the documents available tell me how the water line is runs so I can determine the source of the water. In addition to the water problem, this fridge is noisy and the water filters are ridiculously expensive $49.99 each and need to replace them 3 times a year!
Worst one
By Nick
from Columbus, OH
This refrigerator has been the worst and most expensive refrigerator I have owned, I had better luck with a Kenmore. I have had so many problems with this box, to list a few...The seals in the freezer leaking and needed replaced. The coolant leaking (which according to the repair man is prone to happening with this model), a 700.00 dollar repair. It barely keeps ice for our household of 3 on its "high" setting.The motor occasionally chatters like the exhaust on a car, by occasionally I mean several time for 6 months and than nothing for a while.Ice building up on the back top left corner (had this looked at a couple times)Now I am getting warm pockets in the refrigerator, which has me baffled. I dot. Understand how I have ice cold waters but warm milk...?I had a repair man tell me these refrigerators were, in his eyes, lemons and should all be replaced. They are all very problematic.I have a warranty, thank God, and have had all these fixed but once the warranty is up I will not throw anymore money at this!
Great Looking

I've owned this about 6 Months now and it works like a dream, Fresh water and ice always. Seems to make plenty of ice even when your using more than normal. Very glad I got it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I love how big and spacious it is.
By Pam

It's very easy to use
Lots Of Space
By Shphrd
from Ontario, Canada
We have had this Fridge for 3 weeks and it is great. The only issue i have with it is that the dairy/cheese drawer has to have both doors open to be able to pull out the drawer. It should have been made into 2 or 3 drawers so you only have to open one door.

I bought this refrigerator 4 yrs ago. It failed in the first 6 months. We had a service engineer come out and he told us that this was first generation dual evaporator design and that whirlpool knew there were design flaws and went and marketed anyway. Whirlpool ordered a spare evaporator and they fixed it at their expense. Then the electronic panel on the bottom drawer failed. We did not report it.Then the freezer failed. Whirlpool came in and fixed it. Last week The fridge failed. It is not cooling to 34F that I have set it at. This time I will probably have to pay. I am thinking of putting it in the trash and calling it a day. My older refrigerator ..a GE model is still running after 16+ yrs
Failing in three years
By Bbe
from pA
Poor product. Three times in 9 months I have had so much frost build up behind freezer that drawers will not shut. Doors tightened first time, new control plan next time. That failed in less than one month. Bought extended warranty through hhgregg. "Fast reliable service" means takes 8 days from first call to come, and another 8 days to get replacement part. Won't deal with either Whorlpool or hhgregg again. Lemon obviously. From other reviews, looks like it is my total loss.

Zubrus Weighing His Options

Comments (0)
via Tarik El-Bashir at Capitals Insider,
I spoke to Dainius Zubrus's agent, Jerrold Colton, this morning. The Caps did not pursue him seriously and he doesn't expect that to change, especially with Michael Nylander now in the fold. Colton did say that Zubrus has some offers from other teams and is currently weighing his options. Something could be announced today.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- No race defined Benny Parsons' career or character more than the 1973 Winston Cup finale at North Carolina Speedway in Rockingham, N.C.
Parsons entered the race with a 194.35-point lead over Richard Petty, the two-time defending Cup champion. All he had to do was stay out of trouble and record a decent finish and the championship would be his.
Trouble found him.
On Lap 13, Johnny Barnes spun and wound up in the direct path of the points leader, who started fifth. The collision was so violent that it ripped off the entire right side of Parsons' familiar No. 72 car, including a large piece of the roll cage.
"My heart sank because we had everything there to fix the car except rollbars," Parsons later said when recalling his greatest memories of the sport. "I was just sick. I knew I was going to lose the championship. We neglected to put a wrecker on standby, so we lost four or five valuable minutes getting the car to the garage.
"We looked at the damage and said, 'It's over.' "
But Parsons and his crew didn't give up. They cut the rollbars out of another car that failed to make the field. They got help from other teams, many wanting to keep Cale Yarborough from winning the title.
An hour and 15 minutes later, on Lap 136, Parsons re-entered the race in what he called his "air-conditioned modified." He completed 308 of 492 laps and finished 28th to beat Yarborough by 67.15 points.
"It was a sad day for me but a great day for Benny," said Junior Johnson, who owned Yarborough's car. "The car was tore up very, very badly. Ninety-nine percent of the people would have packed up and gone home.
"But determination is what it's all about, and Benny was very determined in whatever he did."
Tuesday was another sad day for Johnson as he recalled that moment. Parsons, 65, died six months after being diagnosed with lung cancer.
"He was one of the best people, best spokesman for NASCAR, that you could ever get," said Johnson, who grew up not far from Parsons in North Wilkesboro, N.C.
"He just loved racing and lived it the way he thought it ought to be lived. He had a good life driving in it and a good life in the television end of it."
Yarborough, retired and living in South Carolina, agreed.
"He was a great competitor," he said. "He was a guy that had a never-give-up attitude in anything he did."
Because of that attitude at "The Rock" in 1973, Yarborough had to wait three more years before collecting the first of his three Cup titles.
"It was a letdown for me when I saw him come back on the track," said Yarborough, who finished third in the race behind David Pearson and Buddy Baker. "I figured I had [the title] won.
"But if I was going to lose the championship, I was glad it was to Benny. It couldn't have happened to a nicer fellow."
Bobby Allison, who finished seventh in the championship that year, said Parsons was the "ultimate gentleman in racing."
"Ned Jarrett gets a lot of credit for that," Allison said. "Benny was at least on par with him. He was just a real positive guy, even in his last days. I talked to him a few weeks ago and he was pretty sick, but nobody knew it because he kept that smile on his face."
Allison never saw a bigger smile than the one Parsons had after escaping North Carolina Speedway with the title.
"It would be real easy for the people to fix a car like that in today's world," he said. "That was really a feat back then."
Parsons, who went on to become a top broadcaster in NASCAR, later said one of his fondest memories was watching the fans stand in a wave effect as he returned to the track after the wreck.
"Watching that was incredible," he recalled.
It shouldn't have been surprising. Parsons had few if any enemies on or off the track. Neither Yarborough nor Allison recalled being involved in an incident with him.
Neither remembered being ticked off by something Parsons said on television.
"I don't know that Benny had a rivalry with anybody," Yarborough said. "He was just that kind of a fellow. I wish there were more like him."
So does Johnson, even if Parsons did cost him a title.
"I was pretty sure I was going to get one," he said. "Hard work and determination is what it's all about in racing. That's what it was all about for Benny.
"They could have just said, 'Well, that's the end of it.' But they didn't give up. You can accomplish a lot in life when you don't give up, and Benny accomplished a lot."

Etiquette 101: The most annoying lift rides ever
- From: news.com.au
- August 13, 2012
YOU'RE in the lift, you're late for work, and you hear footsteps coming from 10 metres away.
Do you do the right thing and hold the door, or do you press the button and shut the lift in their face?
If you made the selfish move, you're not alone. A CareerBuilder study shows one in six workers admit they have done it.
Not holding the lift door ranked as one of the most annoying behaviours witnessed in office elevators in the survey of almost 4000 US workers, with 33 per cent saying they hate it when people shut the door.
What annoys you most when you're in the lift? Tell us in the comments section below.
The top annoying habit was talking on the phone, with 35 per cent annoyed by the practice, followed by standing too close when there is plenty of space (32 per cent) and squeezing into an already crowded elevator (32 per cent).
Survey respondents also shared the oddest behaviour they've witnessed in an office life, with workers saying they had seen nappy changes, flossing, fist fighting and an employee asking a co-worker for a rash diagnosis.
Top ten annoying lift habits include:
- Talking on a mobile phone – 35 per cent
- Not holding the door open when others are running to get the lift – 33 per cent
- Standing too close when there is plenty of room in the lift – 32 per cent
- Squeezing into an already crowded lift – 32 per cent
- Not stepping out of the lift to let other people out – 27 per cent
- Holding the doors open for an extended period of time while waiting for someone else to get in – 26 per cent
- Jumping the queue to get in the lift when other people have been waiting longer – 23 per cent
- Taking the lift to go up one or two floors instead of using the stairs – 20 per cent
- Pushing the wrong button, so the lift stops at more floors – 17 per cent
- Facing away from the door, instead of toward the door like everyone else – 7 per cent

Nothing quite like a nice juicy queef as you alight. Then turning to watch their facial expressions as the lift door closes and they realize what has befallen them. Classic stuff that. I laugh, I laugh long, load and hard. Makes a day worthwhile. Yes. I'm that guy!!!

I hate lifts of brissy Posted at 4:49 PM August 13, 2012
I hate it when people have their music up so loud everyone else has to listen to it playing through their headphones! And eating/chewing loudly. Waiting another 2 mins max won't kill you!

George of North Balwyn Posted at 4:47 PM August 13, 2012
The lift habit I find annoying is entering a lift shortly after someone has dropped a "darkie" and departed closing the door because I have no choice but to enjoy the fragrance.

I love to use the lift sessions as a time to socialise with my fellow species!! I find nothing brightens a day than a great big smile and a hello. I find it quite distasteful when fellow lift commuters don't abide by courtesy rules and hold the door.

Absolutely love getting into a lift and standing facing everyone else, no-one will look at you at all, it completely freaks out the social convention of staring at the numbers or the inspection plate.

AJ of Brisbane Posted at 4:14 PM August 13, 2012
After getting in and the doors are nearly closed, someone else walks up and presses the lift button causing it to open again. Very annoying

I hate when you are walking towards the lift and you can see the person already in there pressing the close button like thier life depends on it. Waiting 2 seconds won't kill you!!!! I guess some people just hate awkward waits in lifts...

There are other lifts coming - why inconvenience everyone already in there by insisting someone holds the door so you can get into that lift at the last minute? Ditto with people that shove the door open with their brief case/hand etc. Sometimes I'm standing in the lift and this will happen 3 times. I think that's rude!

I suppose someone had to mention this one.........the dreaded FART! God, how I loathe those filthy B*@%ards. Be it a sneaky, silent and violent. or the loud and not so proud (that no-one ever owns up to, nor apologises for). Thank God for stairs.

People that try and rush into the lift first before i get out, often find themselves up against an immovable object, which then tells them how lift etiquette works and by the time the speech is finished the lift has gone.

I love facing people in a lift and saying hi, life is way to serious as it is and a little known fact, the lift is the most used mode of transport in the world. Enjoy it!

I hate it when someone closes the door in my face when it's obvious that I want to catch the lift. Obviously they are in too much of a hurry to consider basic manners.

Living in China I've had a few good ones... but the one that got me the most was the other day when the lift was already packed then a guy tried to get in, he squeezed his way in anyway. Then once he did the lift started beeping and the digital sign was flashing "overload". After more than 30 secounds of this I realized he wasn't moving and told him to get out. He ignored me, then another man said the same, he just smiled and shook his head.. then everybody was telling him to get out... after about a minute or more of this the elevator took off anyway. Now that was annoying and dangerous for all in there...

How about when someone outside pushes up and down buttons - when they want to go up only. So lift stops on way down - when it need not have. Lift crowded so not all can get in. But someone outside keeps pushing the call button before the door closes - so doors keep opening and lift goes nowhere.

I hate the one when people stand right near the lift exit and not allowing people to exit the lift prior to entering which causes a lot of unkind words exchanged

i hold the door open for people that a rushing to get in, but people that stroll up to the left and as it is nearly closed decided to throw their arms or legs or briefcase into the doors to open it annoy the hell out of me. in particular when there are other lifts that are on their way.

What about people walking into the lift without giving those a chance to get out first?

I always say "Welcome aboard and enjoy your ride". Some people smile, others think I'm weird.

I got so sick of people not doing the right thing by their colleagues that I now press ALL of the buttons in the lift after I get out at my floor, because thanks to glass panelled buildings, I can see right down to the lobby and there is usually someone I want to exact revenge on, waiting there to get in it to go up again. This is the 8.15am express, calling at all stations. That'll learn em.

I'm surprised that leaving a time bomb in the form of a floating air biscuit is not high on the list. It's vile, and happens quite a bit in our building.

People that try to get into the lift before letting others out on their floor! Just let me out first and you won't have to push past me, easy for both of us.

One of my workmates does a good one. He rides in the lift with an open mouth. Whenever someone presses a button, he looks down at the button, at their face, then gives them a drooly smile with a tiny chuckle. He's had us all in stiches as he freaks out the call centre folk on the other floors.

Worst one I hate is when its time to go home and you have some person who holds the lift open so they can finish their conversation. Why can't they just step out instead of holding people up for a few minutes.

I get driven mad by people saying "Come on, it's not all bad! Smile!" or something along those lines. One person did it to me about a week after my dad had a stroke, so I wasn't in a terribly smiley mood at that time. People really have to learn to mind their own business. It's a lift, not a social function.

Body odour or farts are there with the worst. And PDAs.

I dont mind letting one rip in a full lift. Its better the lift be full than have only you and a stranger. I get really annoyed when continue a converation in a lift though. Just wait until your both on your floor! I dont want to hear about your period pains.

Our building has a guy who travels to one of the upper floors but persists in standing with his nose almost touching the join between the doors and not moving when the doors open at lower floors. I've never seen anybody else behave this way, but it takes the cake for me.

I like to fart deliberately in a lift and then look accusingly at someone else. Pushing all the buttons as you get out is another giggler. Even better to combine the two... Just don't follow through!!!! Or you can mutter to yourself like you're talking to deranged voices in your head. There's a list on the net somewhere but the fart lock in is my favourite

@David of Sydney: omg, you haven't worked int he US have you? They are actually SO much more polite than Aussies, believe it or not. I think if the survey was done here, results would be worse ^^

What is with people not wanting to press the close door button in the lift as well ? The last person comes in, presses the button on the floor they wish to alight, and then refusing to press the close door button even though no one is coming. We all have to wait 5 seconds or so for the door to close automatically. *deep breaths into paper bag*

I really enjoy getting into a lift full of people, waiting till the doors close, looking intently at each of them in turn - and then just as I get their attention, saying, "Well, I suppose you're all wondering why I called this meeting?" ha ha ha ha ha

How does a survey of 4000 US workers bear any relevance to Australian workers? American office workers are rude, impatient, selfish and arrogant. Australians are... oh okay I get it.

You missed flatulence (big no-no) and my worst pet peeve is selfish idiots who rush to get into the lift before people have exited. But this same peeve goes for busses and trains as well...
