text: Close Ten Most Painful Decommits 0 0 More 0 0 0 View Gallery Next Previous Next AJ Mast/Icon SMI Eric Gordon Some college programs came so close to landing some of the best up-and-coming college talent available, but coaching changes, personnel swaps and just plain player fickleness cost them first-rate recruits. We take a look back at the 10 most painful decommits of the last five recruiting classes. Star recruit Eric Gordon verbally committed to the Bruce Weber-led squad at Illinois in fall 2005. But it wasn't long after the hiring of new Indiana coach Kelvin Sampson that rumors began to swirl that Gordon was turning his attention to the Hoosiers. On Oct. 13, Gordon switched his commitment. On Nov. 8, he signed with Indiana. The one-and-done freshman set IU's scoring record with 669 points and was drafted in 2008 by the Clippers. 1|10 Scott D Weaver/Icon SMI Michael Beasley Assistant Dalonte Hill played a critical role in luring Michael Beasley to an early commitment to Charlotte. But after Hill accepted a position at Kansas State, it wasn't long before Beasley made the move as well. He decommitted on March 30, 2006, and committed to K-State on June 23 of that same year. Beasley led the country in rebounding with 12.4 per game and helped lead the Wildcats to the NCAA tournament. He was picked No. 2 overall by the Miami Heat in the 2008 draft. 2|10 Douglas Jones-US PRESSWIRE Marcus Morris In quite the recruiting back and forth, Marcus Morris and twin brother Markieff initially committed to Memphis in the fall of 2006, then decommitted, then recommitted. Citing their reservations about Memphis' program, the twins decommitted a second time and signed with Kansas. 3|10 Orlin Wagner/AP Markieff Morris Markieff and Marcus Morris delivered the goods after signing with Kansas instead of Memphis. They helped win three Big 12 regular-season titles and two Big 12 tournament titles. Markieff averaged 13.6 points and 8.3 rebounds in his last season while Marcus averaged 17.2 points and 7.6. Both were taken in the 2011 NBA Draft, Markieff to the Rockets and Marcus to the Suns. 4|10 Ed Reinke/AP DeMarcus Cousins After first committing to Alabama-Birmingham, top-ranked center DeMarcus Cousins didn't sign a letter of intent with the school because a clause was deleted that said he could be released if UAB's head coach Mike Davis left the program. Cousins then turned his sights to Memphis, but soon decommitted when head coach John Calipari moved to Kentucky. Cousins committed to the Wildcats and signed his letter of intent on April 15, 2009. Cousins left Kentucky after his freshman year and was taken No. 5 overall in the 2010 draft by the Sacramento Kings. 5|10 Brian Kersey/AP Austin Rivers Winter Park High star and son of Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers, Austin (right) chose to decommit from the Florida Gators in 2010. Though Rivers flirted with joining North Carolina, he ultimately went with another Tobacco Road resident: Duke. 6|10 Ai Wire/Vern Verna/Landov Terrence Jones A 6-foot-8 star forward out of Portland, Terrence Jones announced at a news conference his intention of joining the Washington Huskies. But he soon found himself drawn to the John Calipari-led Wildcats and spurned the Huskies in favor of Kentucky. 7|10 Steven Leija/Southcreek Global Gus Gilchrist Concerns in the wake of Virginia Tech's 2007 school shooting led talented 6-9 forward Gus Gilchrist to decommit from the Hokies. He opted to attend one year of prep school before signing with Maryland, but ultimately asked for a release and transferred to USF. 8|10 Cary Edmondson-US PRESSWIRE Josh Selby Bruce Pearl saw top prospect Josh Selby slip through his fingers when the guard decommited from Tennessee. The decision came just a week after the LeBron James Skills Academy, at which Selby's mother spoke with college hoops heavyweight William Wesley, who has strong ties to Kentucky, Oregon and other top programs. Ultimately, Selby signed with the Jayhawks, playing one year before entering the NBA Draft. He was selected 49th overall by the Memphis Grizzlies. 9|10 Marc J Sanchez/Icon SMI Luke Babbitt In February 2007, 6-8 forward Luke Babbitt verbally committed to play for Ohio State. But not long afterward, Babbitt expressed a desire to be closer to his family. He opted for a spot on Nevada's roster and signed his national letter of intent in November of that year. Babbit played two seasons at Nevada, averaging 21.9 ppg during his sophomore year, before entering the 2010 draft. He was picked by the Minnesota Timberwolves. 10|10 Next up College Basketball Committed : USC, June 19, 2007.

LOOK BOOK: IRO Men's Fall/Winter 2011
Here is the male counterpart to the women's IRO collection. I also love this one. The line features a denim jacket with the sherpa lining just like the women's. My favorite from from the men's though would have to be the khaki suede jacket. That is just a need for fall.
Another piece that is my favorite is the baseball jacket. Actually all of the outerwear. I cannot stop looking at them. I think IRO just knows what they are doing with the outerwear market. The line also features some denim pieces like some shirts and their signature faded black denim as well as the repair jeans. I think some celebrities should really step out in some IRO. You can click here to purchase IRO at Ssense.

My favorite pieces from Fall/Winter would have to be…EVERYTHING! The sweaters and outerwear are just to die for. Those are going to be popular ones. I just love the jacket above! The sherpa lining and the wash is just amazing. The gray coat is also a big hit with me. I also love their new leather pants. They are like a new take on the cargo pant.

The men's collection this season has the same fatigue cool that the past collection offered. The color palette this season consisted of all neutrals. All black, white, gray and what was in between, but the detail was kept unique so everything had a fresh feel. My favorite pieces would have to be the blazer with zippers on the sleeves and the jacket with panels on the shoulders, as well as the belts. I think those are a great addition to the looks. You can check out the campaign images below.

Joined on Oct 1, 2010
About me:
to thoroughly enjoy reasonaly priced photography to new heights with the E450 and affordable lenses! .............To boldly go............ and split infinitives....
Couscousdelight: Smoothing is very strong, even at 100 iso : http://www.dpreview.com/galleries/reviewsamples/photos/2293688/pa210094?inalbum=olympus-xz-2-preview-samples
Check the boat at full res.
there is a strange texture in some backgrounds, while there is detail in the subjects suggesting some jpeg compression issue ( last portrait of the woman downloaded is an example of this) , and noise at higher ISO: but how does it compare with G15, X10 and other premium priced cameras? Nice colours OOC, good bokeh, good features....needs a shoot out vs Canon, LX7, XF1 etc!
Hmm, ticks a number of boxes for me on price, relative IQ to price and not least weather proofing. But how many lenses are weather proofed ?
marcuz: Should this be called "rangefinder style" mirrorless, as in the specs?
This is just yet one more tiny sensor plain mirrorless imho.
Although I don't like this system at all, it does take quite good images for the size of sensor and should allow for some fast sub f2 lenses which are optically up to par for Nikon while not being that large.
look forward to comparing this with the larger enthusiast compacts on file at DPR and the latest flock of Lx7 etc. Could be the back up camera for me!
Which is the best PP software for tablets now though? If it is best value for money on Android from the market then I would look there myself. iPad's resolution is tempting, but you are paying " premium poser price" for the glory of the bitten fruit logo.
Who makes the sensor BTW ?
Oly' have been astute with the launch cycle.
Peiasdf: Very few comments. I guess it is not very exciting as it is just rehash of E-PL3 and E-PM1 with new sensor.
Should be cheaper as most parts are carried over from $400/$300 cameras.
Olympus did a great job at flogging the PEN series on an out dated sensor which was still bigger than all P&S at the time with better DR , tonal depth and mid level ISO to 800 and even.
Coupled to IBIS and the evolution to touch screen and multi core processors for super fast focusing, all they were waiting for was a better sensor.
oluv: seems to have exactly the same IBIS problems like E-PL3 and other olympus cameas. image P9140080 was taken at 1/160 but not a single point is really sharp.
i had the same with shutter speeds between 1/100 and 1/200, the IBIS was producing blur then. what a pity, that olympus hasn't fixed this, i mean this is already their 3rd or 4th camera generation!
fixed! These are enthusiast cameras, not POS!!!
Valentinian: what is the advantage this Pentax mirrorless camera has over the Pentax DSLRs ???
they have seen the future and it is mirrorles. toe in the water and educating their rather small audience of loyal buyers into the shape of non whippy-uppy things to come imho
is it better than Photoshop express for mobile images?
Quite underwhelmed really. How much can you get a used m9 for?
Mirrorless are / will be cheaper to produce. Get used to it all! Pentax like Olympus before them are paving the way for bottom line on a future range of cameras.
Atlasman: Gee, let me think here: let's take an OS than was designed from the ground up for mobile devices and graft it on to a camera.
" 'Our present platform is more than capable of delivering a robust Smart Camera experience to consumers and we will continue to evolve that platform.' "
Kind of agree: I haven't bothered with anything more than the rather sad "photoshop express", surprised then they put their name to it. Perhaps some android apps will get made for bigger files but I doubt the OS can handle it without falling over.
slightly soft and typical olympus jpeg compression issues in the black areas. But acceptable IMHO: interesting to see raw
slightly soft and typical olympus jpeg compression issues in the black areas. But acceptable IMHO: interesting to see raw
Can find it on Android market: have they done the App for Android?
last ditch attempt to sell Symbian handsets ????? Very suprised at the images it takes: great for a mobile.
dra77: At last 35 years on the true successor to my 1977 OM1N which I am still using together with my OM Zuiko prime lenses. I suspect many of the commentators below never owned or handled one of these amazing cameras, the most compact beautifully designed, made and best handling SLR of its time.
I look forward to trying out the OM-D because from its looks it is very close to the ethos of the original OM and if so I will be at the front of the queue.
The OM range never failed: management failed to see AF being so demanded at all levels in the market so quickly.
They did see the opportunity to build smaller system cameras and mFT is the current format with a good size to IQ pay off for amateurs and press photographers alike. Much like OM was in 135!
Looks like a winner so far: cheks a lot of boxes and will have probably the best out of camera jpegs yet on mFT.
Weather proof, OLED, good EVF, advanced IBIS, Bulb exposure display, fast CDAF- I mean it is going to be a really great users camera for people who want to be out shooting with a light rig and not wasting time in post-proc'
As soon as it is confimred that FT glass will work okay on it I will want to handle one and probabvly get one.

George Price: Deception used to get public behind Iraq war
A June 22 letter to the editor, "Liberals don't want truth about Iraq war," includes the sentence, "What liberals - and the media - forget to mention is the fact that President Bush never actually claimed Iraq was behind 9/11." How, then, did a majority of Americans get the impression Iraq was involved in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States? This latest political slogan - that Bush never linked Iraq and 9/11 - is ridiculous and needs to be exposed.
Kathy Gailey Rohs: 'Cocktail Party' reference earns newspaper a rebuke
In an effort to curb alcohol consumption at the annual University of Georgia-University of Florida football game in Jacksonville, Fla., UGA President Michael Adams has been trying to persuade the national media to refrain from referring to the game by its longtime nickname, "The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party."
J.K. Franklin: Muslims must take stand against Islamic terrorists
The Associated Press story in the Athens Banner-Herald's June 25 edition on the silence of European Muslims regarding terrorist attacks in Europe and the United States, ("Muslims speak out on their silence"), is frightening. It is obvious the majority of Muslims are not willing to take a stand to end the worldwide terrorism being conducted in the name of their religion. The truth is, most want the radical terrorists to prevail and convert the world to Islamic rule.
Neal Young: Timing of Orkin tract, clinic news is suspect
I have recently read two Athens Banner-Herald articles that bring hope to the Athens area - the possibility of a large vaccine maker locating a plant on the "Orkin tract" at Georgia Highway 316 and U.S. Highway 78 (Story, "Firm could bring 1,800 jobs," June 23), and the Department of Veterans Affairs' renewed interest in using part of the U.S. Navy Supply Corps School in Athens as a clinic site (Story, "Navy school again potential site for veterans clinic," June 24).
Danny Mathews: Coulter's comments indicative of GOP culture
Right-wing nut case Ann Coulter has written a new book in which she blasts the widows of some 9/11 victims. She hasn't attacked all of them - only the ones who have publicly criticized the Bush administration for not making changes in homeland security that would make us safer.
Robert J. Szabo: Fundamentalists also take selective approach to Bible
A June 23 letter to the editor, "Narrow-mindedness can violate spirit of religion," is incorrect in asserting the Bible neither mentions nor condemns homosexuality. The Bible specifically and unequivocally condemns homosexuality twice in the Old Testament and once in the New Testament (See Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 20:13, and Romans 1:26-27.)
Ed Wilde: Downtown was thriving by middle of the 1980s
I enjoyed Julie Phillips' article about the movie "Athens, GA: Inside Out" ("Film marks moment in music time," June 21), but the description of downtown in 1986 needs some correction. I've lived in Athens since 1972, and don't ever remember a time when there were less than five bars/restaurants downtown - and certainly not in 1986.
Jim Ponsoldt: Leaders don't have courage to consider Iraq timetable
Ellen Goodman's June 23 column, ("Timetable and a clear post-war strategy are needed for Iraq"), makes sense.
William Neal: Minimum wage shouldn't be seen as an entitlement
The June 21 letter to the editor, "CEO pay increased at rate far beyond minimum wage" represents an "entitlement mentality."
Dudley: The South's Stanley Cup runneth over
The Stanley Cup has been the exclusive property of the South since as far back as I can remember.

County attorney acting too rashly with grand jury
It might be "good lawyering," but Athens-Clarke County Attorney Bill Berryman's recent legal maneuvering is as bad as it gets in attempting to keep the public in the dark about the activities of its government officials.

Hancock Avenue resident Willie McBride was half right when he suggested last week that a county fire station planned for northern Athens-Clarke County should both "look like" and "have the same equipment" as the county's newest fire stations.
Go after companies, not workers

Shields: Republicans effectively abandoning 'minority outreach' efforts
According to Matthew Dowd, who was the chief campaign strategist and polling honcho for the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign, before heading out to California to advise Gov.

Notebook: Remlinger copes with release
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Stuffing shoes in a duffel bag here late Saturday night, reliever Mike Remlinger shrugged and said he understood why the Braves had to let him go. Consistent performance simply wasn't there anymore, he said.

Gordon king of road courses

Venus knows way to win Wimbledon
WIMBLEDON, England - As recently as a year ago, there was a growing sense that Venus Williams was no longer the player she once was, lacking the drive and perhaps the game to compete for Grand Slam titles.
Italy gets boost from timely boot
KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany - The Socceroos were tough on Italy. The referee was tougher on Australia.
Fallout haunts Guillen
CHICAGO - Perhaps a day without being bleeped and three presumably peaceful days in Pittsburgh, hardly the media capital of the world, will help ease the pressure on Ozzie Guillen's planet.
World Cup
The World Cup is supposed to be about what happens on the soccer field, but Germany has been beset by fans who are using the monthlong soccer-palooza to model the latest in assorted fashion, headgear and face paint. And the costumes, some of which don't leave much for the imagination, don't end at the neck.
Knicks boss gives Thomas one year
NEW YORK - Isiah Thomas has one year to turn around the Knicks - something Larry Brown couldn't do. And if Thomas doesn't, he'll be gone, too.

GAYLORD, Mich. - Chris DiMarco filled in quite nicely for Phil Mickelson on in the Par-3 Shootout.
James revels in victory

|Ballast Point Victory at Sea - Peppermint
|Tioga-Sequoia Midnight Lightning (Bourbon Barrel)
Dogbrick (837) Columbus, Ohio | September 3, 2011
(Visited 01/2011): Imbibe is in Bakersfield west of downtown off the Blue Star Memorial Highway on Truxton. The place is actually a little tough to find and we passed it before realizing you have to circle around behind the buildings that are on the street. Parking is plentiful all around the building. The interior is laid out with a sort of bar area immediately on the left that has a few beer taps. The bottled stuff is in coolers further back. Draught beer and bottles can both be consumed on site which is always nice. There is a corkage fee to drink the beers there but they didnt seem overly eager to enforce it. The rest of the store is pretty much devoted to wine, and they have some "pay by the ounce options available. As for the beers, they carry goodies from Port, The Bruery, Rogue, Oskar Blues, Hair Of The Dog, Deschutes and many more. Service was friendly on a weekday early afternoon. Despite the place obviously leaning toward wine shoppers, the staff was more than happy to help us with pouring and purchasing beers. Overall this is my kind of shop, and definitely one of if not the best places to buy beer in the Bakersfield/Tehachapi area.
beorn7676 (10) Bakersfield, California | January 24, 2010| Updated June 26, 2010
Best selection of craft beer in Bakersfield. Only place in Bako that has Alesmith, The Bruery, Lost Abbey, Port, and Hair of the Dog. Decent selection of Belgians. To top it all off they now have a pretty good rotation of beers on tap.
GerryDublin (10) Fresno, | October 3, 2009
Decent selection, prices a little higher than other places. Im from fresno but i frequent the area for business trips. If you want a great selection in this town check Westchester or Countryclub.
weanus (10) Central Coast, California | October 3, 2009| Updated October 4, 2009
Where is the beer?? A very small selection that differed from some of the other stores in Bakersfield. I found out that they drive up some beers from the LA area (hopefully not in this heat) that are not available from their local distributors. Unfortunately we found the staff to be snooty and unhelpful, focused more on selling wine than beer. It is a pretty new store but the attitude will more than likely keep us from returning.
IrishBoy (113) Bakersfield, California | August 13, 2009| Updated October 19, 2009
NIce, very shiny, well decorated new store that carries Port/Lost Abbey, BrewDog, and Alesmith. First time these are in Bakersfield. They are even getting Speedway in for Odeed! Prices reasonable and a great but limited selection.

Animal Crossing: City Folk Tips
First go to halloween day. Do not wear any cloths but wear designs and have nothing in your pockets. Go outside and fill your pockets with your native fruit then walk up to anyone but jack and they will play a trick on you changing one of your fruits in to a jack-in-the-box which sell for 1031 bells each. It also works with pitfall seeds so instead of fruit turn a pitfall seed in to 1000 bells!

I'm new to WordPress and blogging, period. Seeking constructive critcism on design/layout; and, funtionality/usability.
I'm new to WordPress and blogging, period. Seeking constructive critcism on design/layout; and, funtionality/usability.
Sorry. URL: http://www.dlaakso.com/weblog/
Why not try install WordPress and see what it can do for you? Maybe you have some more precise questions after that? :) It's a bit hard to know what you're looking for.
Hints for designs I think you can find out all over the forums here, looking at other blogs. :)
WordPress credit?
Ah.... not that explains a bit more. Looks sweet. Though the design wastes a lot of screen space. At least over here. Only the center area of the page is used, which leaves about 3/4 of the screen unused. Looks nice, but I think you see too little and have to scroll unneccesarily much.
The WordPress credit is located at the very bottom of the right page-- assuming this is what you mean by credit.
URL: http://www.dlaakso.com/weblog/
Should read:
The WordPress credit is located at the very bottom of the right *scroll*-- assuming this is what you mean by credit.
URL: http://www.dlaakso.com/weblog/
Nice design, but personally I'd get rid of the scrolls and use the whole browser window. I dislike anything that requires me to use the mouse. But then maybe that's just me.
Eric, not arguing the point, just curious. If you dislike anything that requires you to use the mouse, how then are you able to read this comment?
URL: http://www.dlaakso.com/weblog/
If someone presents a design like that I think we are entitled to nit pick It is advertised as xhtml 1.0 strict for some reason. But it isnt.
It is now.
The Moose has a point...
@willnea: started firefox from the WinXP start menu using the "special windows" and up/down keys; CTRL+D to type wordpress.org/support/ in the URL field. Scrolled down, found this topic, typed in the first few letters of the post topic ("Con") to latch onto the link; pressed enter to follow the link (yeah, I don't need to click on links anymore as long as they're text. Firefox rox). Scrolled down to read this. Look mum, no mouse! I could even have used tab to get to this text field and enter the text, but it would have been too much hassle to press tab like 30 times so I did use the mouse for that. See? I'm pragmatic, not fanatic... Clicking on "Post Message" is a simple tab and enter though, no mouse at all.
More generally, there is always a trade-off between how much control you as a web designer retain over the look/feel/navigation of a site, and how much you allow your visitors to control for themselves - e.g. column widths etc. When someone lets me make the window as wide or narrow as I want, and navigate around it the way I want, and doesn't try to make me register or give them my email addreess, it makes me feel warm and fuzzy and I'm more likely to come back. Again, just my personal opinion.
Looks like scroll to me, just my opinion...

Okay. You scrolled without using a mouse. I've deleted "login" and "resister." Good points, all.
Well, as it turns out, I bit the bullet-- and eliminated the scrolls. Difficult decision for me. Little rough around the edges right now, but has possibilities. I can see now that it was the thing to do. I just didn't want to admit it. Thanks for the push.
I apologize for getting out of line-- so much for ego involement...
If you scroll right down here
the author and readers will notice that the layout has gone a bit wonky. Welcome to web standards coding ;)
-- Working, more or less, on XP_IE6.0, FF0.9 & Opera7.11.
--IE5x/win is another matter. Hugs left viewport, instead of centering-- menu breaks right.
--Safari1.2 Not sure. It may be that the " i-capture" cache was not popped between revisions that fixed the same problem in FF.
--IE/Mac5.2 Not tested.
HTML/CSS are valid.
Comments, suggestions appreciated.
URL: http://www.dlaakso.com/weblog/
Yes but you cheated on the positioning scheme. You have abandoned your footer ;)
Hacked and now working IE5x/win. IE/Mac5.2 is working.
On to the footer.
Comments, suggestions appreciated.
URL: http://www.dlaakso.com/weblog/
Added #back-menu, only to discover several hours latter that doing so detroyed Opera7-- the problem being a miscalculation of the width. In the meantime, it seems to look okay on a Safari1.2(whatever) i-capture, including expected Mac OS difference in font rendering.
I have also found some discrepencies of other width dimensions causing sublte rendering differences between Gecko and IE browsers. Currently attepting to correct these, and their associated hacks. Needless to say, I need a Math-101 refresher course...
Comments, suggestions, some aspirin, and a glass of water appreciated.
URL: http://www.dlaakso.com/weblog/
No math degree needed. Wherever you see borders, padding or margins all you need remember is that some browsers will add them to the width and some will deduct them. Now unless for some reason you are very tight of space doing a really intricate pixel perfect layout, the trick is to avoid adding margins, padding and borders to anything that already has the width defined like the floats. So - try and avoid if poss. With ingenuity you will see how. For example do not margin the content because its width is defined. Instead add a class .post and margin that. See what I mean?. Otherwise we are going to have to start hacking.I am following your progress dont worry if you get stuck.
re: creating div's for margins, padding and borders on anything
that already has the width defined
Very peculiar--files are valid, and working locally. Fails when uploaded. However, everything jumps into place on FF if *Edit CSS* ( Web Developer extension) is checked and then unchecked.
Popping the cache and/or reloading has no effect whatsoever.
Going from a small to a large window seems to trigger correct rendering. Weird...
I am just wondering if the server is refreshing properly. Servers keep all the old copies. Why not delete the necessary files then ftp afresh.
Made a couple of mark-up changes. It's now working on XP_IE6.0, Moz1.6, and Opera7.5.1. *FF0.9 is the problem*-- menu breaks right...
I'll try a new set of files...
No, she doesn't like the fresh set of files either-- must be something in the code. I'll tinker with it...
Ok. Here is the thing. In the CSS you have a class and a div both styled with the same name. .content. And the class content has a lot of padding. That is screwing the pooch. HTH.
Turns out not to be a problem with the code. Wound up stripping everything, and found an error on the source file. Needs to be tweaked, but after a cursory look is now rendering on IE, Moz, My Lady FF, and Opera. Predictably hugging the left viewport on IE5/5.5. without the box model hack to center it.
I will be away from 7a, Tues,. July 6 until 8p, Fri., July9th.
If I haven't driven you completly nuts by now, I'd appreciate continuing when I get back. Either way, thanks ever so much...
I was having a bad IE5/5.5 day earlier this morning. It is predictably centering just fine *without using* the box model hack. There is a 17px vertical drop between the header and the content on IE5 personally I think this can ride as is). IE5.5 rendering same as 6.0. IE/Mac5.2 seems okay-- same for AOL7.
Header centers, container holding content/menu breaks right, appearing to hug right viewport on Konqueror. While this could probably be fixed by anchoring it to the header, I'm not so sure it's really worth the effort?
On the menu (all browers) there is added vertical space between the category Blogroll and the first link-- Rebecca's Pocket. Particularly obvious on IE6. Deleting the category and links, and then replacing them does not seem to help. Any suggestions?
continuing when I get back. Either way, thanks ever so much...
Well maybe you need a break. Tantek Ceilks voice box hack is not necessary and is over elaborate for the issues raised here and has no bearing on centering the page in the view port at all anyway.For what it is worth I believe that a sound understanding of any one simple layout model is better than any amount of hacking and going round and round, as you, sadly seem to be doing.

Posted on 06/11/2010 4:33:25 AM PDT by Dallas59
Thirty years ago, when they lived in separate countries long before they met and married, a family shot of little Donna at Walt Disney World captured Alex in a stroller in the background.
It just blew our minds when we realized, Alex Voutsinas, a 32-year-old transplanted Montrealer told the Star Thursday from south Florida.

I was at a wedding(some coworker of my father) when I was 6 or so and they gathered up all the kids and got a picture. I stood next to this icky girl. We moved away shortly thereafter.
I went to college, met Amanda, started dating her...going through pictures...there she was..next to me at a wedding in the early 70s. She turned out to be a cheating whore, but who knew.
Also, in your picture...what a classy women in the blue shorts on the left. Nice heels.
lol...I miss the 80's...
So, Donna is a cougar
Yeah, she robbed the stroller.
This already happened with Disney — Goldie Hawn a dancer in a shot with Kurt Russell from a film they were in together DECADES before they'd ever met and became lovers.
Coulda been pants instead...
Amazing she found shorts shorter than the ones the guy with her was wearing!
After my husband and I were married for many years, my husband was talking to my mother's cousin by marriage. It turns out that my mother's cousin's father had been married to my husband's aunt.
I say "had been" because she murdered him.

I went to a high school in upstate NY, she went to high school in Connecticut.
We both had our senior class trips on the same day, and we both went to the same place - Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ.
Well, the first thing that me and my group of friends did when we got there early in the morning was run right to the Batman roller coaster. A group of girls got there at about the same time as us, and my group of friends - 7 of us total - started chatting with that group of girls - about 8 or 9 of them - while standing in line.
I end up sitting in a row (four seats to a row on the coaster, if I recall) with one of the girls. I don't talk to her too much, as I had a a girlfriend back home. We certainly didn't discuss college plans or anything.
Well, by the time fall comes around and I head off to undergrad, this same girl ends up going to the same school! And it was a small school in upstate NY that we both started at - only about 4K students total.
One of my brothers was in his younger days a guide taking tourists down the Grand Canyon on mules. The first time he went to meet his future wife's parents there was a picture on the wall of her parents on a mule trip at the canyon and guess who their guide was? They remembered him but he didn't remember them. She was not on the trip with them but I always thought that was odd that he met his in-laws years before he even met their daughter.
I was cute when I was young. You would have liked me in my Mickey Mouse ears. ;)
Speaking of couples, have you ever wondered why you never see Mickey and Minnie Mouse together? It's because Minnie Mouse is really Mickey in drag. Think about it.
It's okay, I'm quite happy with you being beautiful instead of cute.
Bugs Bunny is way hotter in drag than Mickey.
I have a story like that.
When I was 14 I was a Civil Air Patrol cadet. I was Information Officer for my cadet squadron, and was interviewed by my local paper for an article about the unit — we were recruiting.
My future brother-in-law (then 15) was an airplane buff, so when his mother saw the piece she read it to him, urging him to join. My future wife (then 10) heard my name and thought "I'm going to marry him some day. What an awful last name." Then she wondered why she could possibly have thought that. She had never met me. Her brother had never met me (we were going to different Junior High Schools then). He did not join the CAP squadron because he wasn't the joining type.
Eventually, years later, her brother and I connected when we were in High School because we had similar interests (model-making, airplanes, wargaming). A couple of years after that I met his kid sister. A few years later we started going together because we . . . well, fit together. Eventually we married and have been married for 30+ years.
(She is right though. I have an awful last name. But then she is right about most things.)
There is a plan sometimes...
I'm from Montana. I was serving in Machinery Division of a fast attack submarine, about 15 men in the division. One of the guys I worked with, who is from Virginia, and I both married girls who went to the same high school at the same time in a small town in Michigan.
"Amazing she found shorts shorter than the ones the guy with her was wearing!"
Guys do have dangly bits to be concerned about.
Photoshopped massive government coverup, seven out of the ten voices in my head are yelling don't shoot !!!
Okay, got that out of my system, move along now ...
Someone please photoshop "Jacob" from lost in that photo, I'd like to submit it to snopes ...

Although this lacks much in the way of passion, it should be a satisfactory fallback tape for the fan of sexy stockings and Asian women when the shelves are short on alternatives.
It's Asian women, sex and stockings by the numbers - but the numbers are nice if predictable and overly mellow. Smooth jazz and easy club disco music lull viewers into a kind of shopping mall calm while a familiar assortment of attractive Asian women wear sexy stockings and hose while fucking and being fucked.
The heat never gets much above room temperature - but everyone looks great and the stockinged legs are nice enough. Sabrine Maui and Kailani Lei each suck on their stocking covered toes during their scenes, there are a few foot compliments, a brief foot job and a couple of cum spattered tootsies but most of the emphasis is on the intercourse and girls with toys.

Derrick Bell and Steve Jobs both died on Wednesday but the similarities don't end there. Both men would not be deterred by those who could or would not believe.
Derrick Bell spent his professional life exposing racisim in the legal system and higher education. He encouraged members of diverse groups to tell their stories as a way of building support and community, something he felt scholarship alone could not do.
The Rock 'n' Roll Marathon (and half marathon) is rolling into Denver on October 9, 2011. The race will have bands performing at various points throughout the course and rap up with a post run concert.
The idea of running makes me *cry* so I sought recommendations for music that will push and pump me up! Friends tell me my regular diet of Broadway show tunes won't cut it and I need some music that will help me *roar* even if I am walking, moshing, and thrashing my way through. Here are a few heavy metal recommendations from the Library's collection:
The Days of Awe began with Rosh Hashanah and ends with the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur.
Even if you don't celebrate the holidays, the Library has a variety of titles to help you learn more about Jewish traditions and customs. Nonfiction titles like Days of Awe and The Yom Kippur Anthology are interesting guides. Stories about growing up Jewish are a more personal, intimate way to celebrate and immerse yourself in another person's experience.
Favorite memoirs include:
A recent after hours lecture at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science yielded a bit more than stuffed animals. The world class dioramas include a bit of whimsey by one artist.
Usually painters sign their work with their name but Kent R. Pendleton, one of the diorama artists, painted elves (some argue they are leprechauns) into his work. The Museum staff know visitors with binoculars usually mean one thing: elf hunt!
Interested in learning more about the role and history of nature and science museums in the United States?

What makes a person successful? For Shannon Sharpe, his grandmother and the three Ds (determination, dedication, and discipline) are the foundation of his success.
My Dad recorded Sharpe's enshrinement speech into the NFL's Hall of Fame to share with me. I am so grateful because the speech is an inspirational testimony to the power of love and self knowledge. Sharpe asks people to separate the popular public persona from the person. He is passionate about the support he received from his community and family but especially the legacy left by his grandmother, Ms. Mary Potter. She sadly passed away a month before the awards ceremony.

The 24th Annual AIDS Walk Colorado is taking place August 13, 2011. Who will you walk for?
Parents all over the world have lost children of all ages to AIDS. Generations of families have been destroyed in Africa due to this disease. Newspapers report the statistics but children and those who care for them, are the most articulate about the impact of AIDS on their lives.
Nasdijj says it best when asked why anyone would adopt a child with AIDS in his memoir The Boy and the Dog are Sleeping: "Because one comes to you. Because you can."

STYLE...does it matter ?
Colin, think you make some interesting points here. But have to ask where do the tactics that Rafa uses come from? I understand your concern with holding, and the constant back passing, but when an opponent has parked the bus, would you rather we go with long ball run and chase?
For me the constant holding and build and re-build up play can be annoying also. But its as much a function of what inteligent players see in front of them in terms of options, than what the manager has told them to do. When space is not given, its a little hard to run into it. Instead you hold the ball, while your attackers try to create the necessary space. How often you can do that during a match, is as much a function of the defending team, as it is the skill of the attacking players, or the tactics the manager has communicated.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Dsteer...In answer to u post. I think its necessary to play true wide men ...WIDE . Hit the line with such players and cut the ball back fast and low or float it over. This would be distasteful to Senor Benitez as it could engender a breakaway BUT it could far more often result in GOALS. This is not going to happen under the stewardship of Benitez who much prefers to utilize the strikers and wide men he has bought as bloody holding midfielders. Riera certainly has theskills to produce the goods if given the freedom to do so liewise AL Kzar. but I feel we will have to wait till Benitez is down the road before we see a return to winning I said WINNING not drawing at Anfield and WINNING with some .....STYLE !
- 1 Reply to colin
This is a tricky one. The one word answer is YES. However I think you are looking at the past with rose tinted specs on, and show a naivety when it comes to assessing the modern game.
For example United have just gone top with a series of dull, shaky at times 1-0 wins. Chelsea have been shaky all season, learning despite the ambitions of Scolari, that playing with style is not something that a team can just go out and do. Like anything in football, it relies a huge amount on what the opposition do.
I don't think it can be said that we didn't play with style when dismantling Newcastle recently. The issue is that when given space, players will express themselves. When given time, and the team as a whole is playing positively, most teams and us certainly, have the ability to suddenly switch on the style and play like potential champions.
The issue is that teams like Wigan, Stoke even, right the way up to a hustling bustling Everton, or even a hardworking quick Villa side, don't allow space. Manager's are so tacticaly aware now, swap secrets, ensure their players are so disciplined, that teams are especially hard to break down. This season is the most competitive on the whole I have ever seen throughout the whole division.
To demand the club dismiss Benitez, and that this is required to move forward is absolute poppycock. Whatever manager we had, fans would moan about him, his choices, tactics, etc. Thats football. The cold hard facts are these:
1. Benitez is respected for good reason throughout the footballing community. If he left Liverpool, there isn't a club in the world that wouldn't want him to fill any vacancy.
2. He has a respectable record in the transfer market. The kind of manager that makes his mistakes and gets rid quickly, but the successes outnumber the failures, and financially outweigh the dross. We have players bought by and who are hugely loyal to Rafa. Mascherano, Torres, Xabi, etc etc.
3. We have won the biggest trophy in club football under Rafa and reached another subsequent final (which if you think we were lucky in 05, we were unlucky not to win on that occasion...personally I don't ). Plus until recently we were sat atop the league by right. We've won the FA Cup, and enjoyed some of the most magical nights (Chelsea 05, Arsenal last yr) that I can remember at Anfield, all under Rafa.
4. He genuinely works for Liverpool football club with all his being. It matter to him more than anyone else. Managing a football club becomes his life. The players, reserves, kids, diet, hotels, opposition, and go knows what else. As a fan, I trust Rafa and what he says as being neccesary to safeguard the future of the club. He is the most dedicated manager I have ever known, and he deserves a lot of credit..not the ridicule he gets in some quarters.
Lets see how this season ends up, and then we can have the arguments. As far as I'm concerned, a fan that calls for the manager to go mid season, UNLESS there is huge trouble like relegation looming, or a massive scandal, is not looking at things in the right way...We might yet win the prem and CL. However at the start of the season I said I'd settle for the FA cup and a competitve league seaqson.
AND before Paisley starts....YES I criticise Rafa after somegames, but that criticism nees to be seen against my general support, as pure frustration at certain things he does which I don't understand. But then why should I. I design Exhibition Stands for a living. He's the football manager!

Hi, I've recently installed the 2014 theme and while I like it I find that my posts occupy a small area of the page with two massive white borders of dead space each side. I am particularly interested in maximising image size within posts. I've looked at the image attributes and they are at the maximum default upload size of 700 px. Is there a way of utilising all the space and even the space occupied by the right hand sidebar which I don't require? I'm a photographer and showcasing my images in the largest sizes possible is paramount. I see there is a full page template option offered within the theme but don't understand how to activate it, all this HTML stuff is Greek to me
I've spent a while searching for answers on the interweb with no success.
Many thanks

What is the treatment for rotator cuff disease?
The treatment of rotator cuff disease depends on the severity of the injury to the tendons of the rotator cuff and the underlying condition of the patient.
Mild rotator cuff disease is treated with ice, rest, and anti-inflammatory medications (such as ibuprofen [Advil, Motrin] and others). Generally, physical therapy using gradual exercise rehabilitation is instituted. Exercises are used that are specifically designed for rotator-cuff strengthening.
Patients with persistent pain and motion limitation can often benefit by a cortisone injection around the rotator cuff. Repeat injections may be necessary.
More severe rotator cuff disease can require surgical repair.
Subacromial decompression is the removal of a small portion of the bone (acromion) and soft tissues (bursa) that surround the rotator cuff. This removal can relieve pressure on the rotator cuff in certain conditions and promote healing and recovery. This procedure can be done by arthroscopic or open surgical techniques. Both methods have been reported to be equally successful.
The most severe rotator cuff disease, complete full-thickness rotator cuff tears, usually requires surgery for the best results. These procedures, which can also be done by either arthroscopy or open surgery, involve mending the torn rotator cuff by suturing the tissues back together. Ultimately, recovery from rotator cuff disease often requires extended physical therapy and rehabilitation.

From Our Editors
The team at Green Light Window Films knows that window tinting serves much more than an aesthetic purpose; in all cases, whether installed on automobiles or buildings, it is a highly effective energy solution for reducing heating and cooling costs. Other benefits include protecting property from vandalism and theft and lessening the presence of harmful UV rays, heat build-up, and glare caused by a seriously offended sun. The staff's solar solutions can also prevent the fading of artwork, rugs, and furniture which otherwise would be in direct contact with the sun's harsh rays. In addition to tinting services, Green Light Window Films performs thorough interior and exterior auto details for cars, vans, and SUVs. Technicians wash, wax, buff, and vacuum vehicles to reclaim their crisp, youthful shine.

I don't own a motorcycle and rarely do I ever ride on one.
But if I did these days, I would be certain to wear a helmet ... with a visor. My concern isn't so much over protecting my head against traumatic injury if the bike crashed.
It's because of the bugs that are filling the air these days.
First, I want to flash back one week — to a trip my wife and I took to the Austin suburb of Dripping Springs. It was a quick weekend jaunt to see family members.
The Friday afternoon and evening drive from Amarillo to the Hill Country was lovely. The sun shone brightly. The landscape is as green and lush this year as it was brown and desolate a year ago.
The drive back on Sunday? Not so great.
Why? Well, the front of our 11-year-old car was covered with the gory remains — and this is just a wild guess — of about 5,000 flying critters. Moths, butterflies and all kinds of assorted bugs smashed into our vehicle. We dared not deploy the windshield wipers for fear of smearing them so badly we couldn't see out front. Given all the vehicular traffic on the road throughout the state, the Texas bug population saw a serious reduction this past weekend ... not that anyone could tell.
Then I started thinking about the motorcyclists we would see along the way. They were getting pelted with bugs. Their visors must be smeared with innards.
And then I pondered the reality that Texas doesn't require motorcyclists to wear helmets. Children must wear them. Those adults who don't wear a helmet have to carry a health insurance policy with a $10,000 minimum coverage provision — as if 10 grand will pay for a grievous injury suffered in a motorcycle accident.
Those who didn't wear a helmet a week ago on the highway heading this way from the Austin area endured a potentially painful and highly annoying ride.
To be fair, though, almost all the bikers I noticed on the drive home were wearing the protective gear.
Good for them.
Why all the bugs? A Potter County extension agent, Brandon Boughen, told my colleague Kevin Welch the other day that increased moisture over the winter and early spring has contributed to the flying bug infestation. "People are going crazy," Boughen told Welch.
"Last year we didn't have the moisture we had this year, and nobody noticed them because they didn't come all at once," he said. "From spring to late summer they're around, just not invading people's homes," Boughen said.
Indeed, the moths are sneaking into homes, heading straight to the lights and becoming indoor annoyances.
The good news? The bugs — notably the moths — will be more or less gone in a few days. Moths, after all, have a very short lifespan. OK, moths are God's creatures too, but enough already. Good riddance to them. There'll be more to take their place over time.
But should the state reconsider its no-helmet stance in light of this infestation? I actually favor mandatory helmet laws, but the bug outbreak isn't reason by itself for the state to reverse course.
A word to the wise would be in order: Have a helmet handy, and then slip it over your head if you're planning to ride your bike to the Hill Country.
I am quite certain it'll be much easier to scrub the goo off your visor than off your face.

There are many ways you can share the truth of God's Word to those in your school. One involves starting a "Creation Club."
From the beginning, God has been intimately involved in His creation. And throughout Scripture we read how our God answers the prayers of His people.
The Ark's one and only voyage took place over 4,300 years ago, yet this magnificent vessel still captures the imaginations of believers and unbelievers alike.
For InSite this month, we're announcing AiG Live, talking about our upcoming Answers for Women conference, going back to the Tower of Babel, and more!

Most churches and ministries depend heavily on volunteers.
The Creation Science Fellowship has been organizing and hosting the International Conference on Creationism about every four years since 1986.
Well, what has happened to this once Christian nation, where the majority of people used to believe in the absolutes of the authority of the Word of God?
