Best Canadiens YouTube Video We Could Find: Former Canadiens tough guy Todd Ewen going nuts after being goaded into a penalty by former Penguins defenseman Ulf Samuelsson in the 1991-92 season:
-Marc-Andre Fleury (13-7-0, 2.59 GAA, .902 SV%) and Jaroslav Halak (5-3-0, 2.62, GAA, .904 SV%) are your expected starters in net.
-For the Penguins, defenseman Alex Goligoski ("lower body") is out. Forwards Tyler Kennedy (groin), Chris Kunitz ("lower body"), defensemen Kris Letang (shoulder) and Jay McKee (finger) are on injured reserve.
-For the Canadiens, forward Scott Gomez ("lower-body") and defenseman Jaroslav Spacek ("lower-body") are day to day. Forward Georges Laraque is suspended. (Forwards Matt D'Agostini (concussion), Olivier Fortier (shoulder), Brian Gionta (foot), Benoit Pouliot ("upper-body") defensemen Hal Gill (foot) and Andrei Markov (ankle) are on injured reserve.
-Marrrrrkkkk.... Eaaaattttooonnnnn..... issss..... Ironnnnnn.... Mannn..... (Neeeehhh, Neeehhh, Neh, Neh, Nuhhhhhh....)
-That was a horrible attempt at phonetically writing out the opening guitar riff to Black Sabbath's "Iron Man." Sorry.
-How important is Matt Cooke to the Penguins' success?
-With so many injuries, the Canadiens recalled J.T. Wyman from Hamilton of the AHL.
-Marc-Andre Bergeron showed why he's not paid for his defense last night.
-"I've been in the league for 13 years and it's not something I try to do. I'm not a dirty player. I'm deeply sorry I did that. That's not the way I play the game and I hope that Niklas recovers from that." - Canadiens forward and former Penguins enforcer Georges Laraque explaining his knee-on-knee hit that injured Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall Saturday and netted a five-game suspension for Laraque.
-Laraque apparently isn't familiar with Sabres defenseman Nathan Paetsch:
-Last night's game was only the fourth win in regulation for Montreal this season.
-The Habs' 100th birthday is nine days away. What'cha get 'em?
-Assuming they don't meet the Penguins in the playoffs, this is will be the Canadiens' final trip to Mellon Arena. They were the first opposing NHL club to play in the building when they beat the expansion Penguins, 2-1, Oct. 11, 1967, in front of 9,307 fans.
-Montreal's Gilles Tremblay would score the first NHL goal in the then Civic Arena beating Hank Bassen at 17:29 of the first period. A 36-year-old Jean Beliveau would score the 400th goal of his legendary NHL career off assists from Yvon Cournoyer and Ted Harris at 0:53 in the second. Bassen protested the goal citing interference and told the Pittsburgh Press, "Somebody was sitting on me." That score turned out to be the game-winning goal as hall-of-famer Andy Bathgate would score the first goal in Penguins history when he beat Rogie Vachon at 7:06 of the third off of assists from Noel Price and Ab McDonald.
-Montreal's Ralph Backstrom took the first NHL penalty - a hooking minor at 2:55 in the first - in the facility. Ken Schinkel's cross checking penalty roughly three minutes later was the first penalty in Penguins' history. Vochon became the first winning NHL goaltender in the Civic Arena by stopping 35 shots. Bassen took the loss making 35 saves as well.
-The Canadiens' all-time record at Civic/Mellon Arena is 45-30-15.
-Our live blog begins at approximately 6:30 p.m. Please tune in.

Thubten Zopa Rinpoche
|This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification. (February 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|Thubten Zopa Rinpoche
|1946 -
|Thubten Zopa Rinpoche
Thubten Zopa Rinpoche (Tibetan: ཐུབ་བསྟན་བཟོད་པ་, Wylie: Thub-bstan Bzod-pa; 1946 Thami, Nepal[1] as Dawa Chötar) is a Nepalese lama from the Solu Khumbu valley, the entryway to Mount Everest.[1]
Early in life, he was recognized as the reincarnation of the Lawudo Lama Kunzang Yeshe, from the same region (hence the title "Rinpoche"). He took his monastic vows at Dungkar Monastery in Tibet where he travelled in 1957, but he had to flee due to the Chinese army's severe treatment of monks after the 1959 Tibetan uprising. Instead of continuing in Tibet, his spiritual teacher, Geshe Rabten, entrusted him to the care of Lama Thubten Yeshe. Thubten Zopa learned English at the Young Lamas Home School. Lama Zopa has received teachings from many high lamas.[2]
Lama Zopa met the previous Panchen Lama in Nepal in 1986 and in Tibet.
Lama Zopa is most noteworthy as the co-founder, with Lama Yeshe, of Kopan Monastery and the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT). In 1972 he along with Lama Yeshe founded Tushita Meditation Centre near McLeod Ganj at village Dharamkot in Himachal Pradesh.[3] Since the 1984 death of Lama Yeshe, Lama Zopa has served as the FPMT's spiritual director.
Zopa's books are published by Wisdom Publications. Free transcripts of some of his teachings are available from the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive.[4] There is an extensive biography of him in the book The Lawudo Lama by Jamyang Wangmo.[5]
Lama Zopa supports — apparently in accordance with the dying wish of Lama Yeshe — the Maitreya Project, a planned 152 m (500 ft) high Maitreya statue in Kushinagar, northern India. If built, it will be one of the largest Buddha statues in the world, only one meter shorter than the Spring Temple Buddha in China's Henan province.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche holds the Gelugpa lineage and has received teachings from many of the great Gelugpa masters.[6] His Root Guru is HH Trijang Rinpoche since he was a young boy studying in Buxa India. Lama Zopa Rinpoche is also considered as the heart son of HH Dalai Lama and diligently works to establish all of His Holiness's wishes.

I'm working on a new documentary and was wondering if anyone has any photos from the very first Cage Warriors event in 2002 at York Hall in London? I know it's a bit of an ask as it was a...
Really impressed with him from the Turner fight. Great build for the weight as well, looks a good athlete. Looking forward to seeing how he progresses. Feather's becoming a tough division in CW.
Are any UK MMA managers who've looked after fighters on MMA shows previously broadcasted on Sky Sports available for a chat? Got a few questions I'd like to ask in regards to sponsorship.
PM me if...

With the exception of a few, the fights on TUF 16 have been pretty dire. But I'll forever remember TUF 16 for 'Let me bang, bro'.
Overall, TUF Smashes was better.
Good work! More Wharton's Watch!
Serious question.
Sam Boo. What a boss. I'm motivated.
This man is a great man.
Nunes' old man's a brit. That count? He'd have my vote, along with Whiteford.
Possibly also Denniston Sutherland. Big turnaround. Well done to him.

Hey there,
Trying to get this plugin working on a site which is using Better WP Security to 'hide' the backend - basically it creates rewrite rules that add a secret key to make wp-login.php accessible.
In other words, hitting /wp-login.php returns an error, while /wp-login.php?secretkeyhere (or an alias - /log-in) allows a user to log in.
When using wp_login_url() or wp_loginout(), the modal login returns the message "Error: All fields are required."
I've tried building the key into the login in a number of ways - and would obviously prefer to not edit the plugin itself - but am having no luck. Ideally this same key could be added for registration.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

A classically elegant spring wedding but add in bright pops of pretty pink and yellow, and the whole celebration takes on a chic twist. I have a feeling these pics by Lauren Gabrielle are going to be popping up all over Pinterest within minutes (my boards might have already gotten a boost of beauty themselves). Join me in the treasure chest of our VAULT right this way!
From the Bride… I'll always remember that first date. I hadn't been that nervous since I was a teenager. I slowly walked up to the sushi restaurant and took a deep breath. There he was. Handsome, smiling ear to ear and standing to pull out my chair. When dinner was over, we headed next door for yogurt where we sat on the patio, talking and laughing for hours. I'll never forget when Kevin ran into a little Greek restaurant next door and bought grape leaves; which I thought was a little odd, but moved past it quickly. He later told me he had watched the owner looking out the window with no customers and felt compelled to give him a little business. I was already falling in love with this man.
Kevin later asked me, "When did you know?" I told him, "Date two." On date two, I was even more nervous than that first date. My heart raced as I approached him, but there was something so calming about his demeanor and presence. Our cheeks hurt so much from laughing so hard for hours on end. As the restaurant was closing and he walked me to my car, we made plans for the next night. From that moment on, we both knew something magical was happening.
Eight months later, on our way home from a family vacation, Kevin stopped at Tiffany & Co., saying we should look at rings. That day was just as I would've imagined. Kevin's challenge in a proposal was that I just wanted to be surprised. 11 months into our relationship, I arrived at Kevin's for an ordinary Saturday night of dinner and a movie. He had a beautiful bouquet and box of truffles waiting for me; which didn't strike me as odd; he's no stranger to romantic gestures. As usual, he asked if we could have a chocolate before dinner. I opened the box to find he had already eaten a truffle…and replaced it with a stunning engagement ring. Completely surprised, I turned to find him on one knee.
11 months later, all of our planning came together in a beautiful, flawless, incredibly happy day. There may have been flaws or mishaps, but if there were, we never knew. From the intimate garden ceremony to the cocktail hour behind a beautiful, historic mansion to the tented reception… everything was perfect to us. Our team of vendors had come together to create a fairytale wedding including personal touches. Our favors were jams brought in from my favorite Santa Barbara farmer's market from my time living there, sushi appetizers reminiscent of our first date, truffles to remind us of our engagement and surprise groom's cupcakes with words Kevin's friends and family used to describe him were just a few of the personal touches. And this begins our story…

I started seeing flies around my house, mostly in the kitchen and bathroom. They are bigger than fruit flies. Coincidentally, they started appearing since I got a cat. I keep the cat in my bedroom, along with its litter box, food dishes and toys, and store the bag of food in my bathroom cabinet. Could the flies be coming from the cat's litter, feces or food, even though we catch them in rooms the cat has never even been in? I clean the litter box twice a day; in the morning and evening, and it is enclosed.
Has anyone else had this problem before? Is there a way to prevent this? HELP!

Are you sharing an apartment with someone else?. Litter box shouldn't be in the bedroom unless you have no choice. Flies won't come from cat poo, the litter dries it out before anything can even grow in there.Reply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked shadow_cruiser for this post.

Kitty poop and pee does not make fruit flies because if you have a good clumping litter, kitty will bury poop an it will dry it out.
Along with the above poster, I would advise moving the litter bin regardless. Food/water should be kept at a distance from where the cat poops not necessarily for sanitary reasons but for the fact cats do not like pooping where they eat. I volunteer with a pseudo feral cat colony and the kitties come out of the compound and walk a good 10 meters away from their living quarters to dig and bury their poop.
Garbage attracts fruit flies. Check your kitchen and under cracks and crevices for someone who accidently dropped some food.Reply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK 1 person has thanked dibksbgon for this post.

Honestly I wouldnt bother optimising for Voila other than to look at buying into their boutique system ...
Anyone ever see any traffic on their sites sent by Wanadoo?
I work with a lot of French companies ..landings from Wanadoo searches to sites that aren't in their boutique system are virtually non existant and conversions to purchase are not worth looking for ..unless you are the F.N.A.C.

New Census Numbers Reveal Hispanic Growth Higher Than Expected
According to analysis by the Pew Hispanic Center, new Census numbers indicate that the Hispanic population of the country is growing at a faster rate than was expected. NPR's Pam Fessler reports Latinos accounted for 58 percent of the population growth in the 33 states for which the Census has released 2010 numbers. Pam reports:
The 2010 Census found almost 39 million Hispanics in those states, about a half million more than estimated. The Census Bureau updates its once-a-decade count every year to reflect births, deaths and other demographic changes. These estimates are used for planning purposes and to distribute billions of dollars in aid. But there have been concerns in the past that certain groups, especially immigrants, have been undercounted.
The Pew Center says things have improved. The gap between the estimated Hispanic population ten years ago and the actual census count was much wider.
In 2000, the Washington Post reports, the estimate was 10 percent lower than reality. USA Today reports that Arizona, probably because of its tough immigration laws, lost latinos, but the paper paints a picture of a changing South:
The Census found 186,000 Hispanics in Alabama— 26,000 more than estimated. In North Carolina, Hispanics total 800,000, or 54,000 more than was estimated. Louisiana, where construction jobs soared after Hurricane Katrina, the Census counted 22,000 Hispanics — or 13.2% — more than estimated.
The underestimates show that immigrants continue to spread into the South and the Midwest from traditional gateways, such as California and New York.

What your biscuit says about you
- From: news.com.au
- April 17, 2014
ARE you the carefree sort or a loyal friend? A fun lover or a secretive snob?
There's been a long-running debate in the news.com.au office about whether you can tell a person's personality based on the biscuit they love most. You in the corner, talking non-stop as you pluck an Iced Vovo out of the tin? We're so judging you.
So, to settle the matter once and for all, we enlisted the help of biscuit company, Arnott's. We put it to them: Can you tell a person's personality by their choice in biscuit? The short answer is, Yes!
Using internal data and consumer studies, as well as external data from AC Nielson, Arnott's Consumer Insights team have helped us pull together this definitive guide to What Your Biscuit Says About You. Be prepared to be very surprised...
The biscuit is: Three irresistible layers of biscuit and chocolate cream filling encased in unique Tim Tam chocolate.
The biscuit says: You're a carefree indulger. Tim Tam lovers are predominantly (but not restricted to) women, who know what they want and appreciate that the simplest moments in life often have the most worth. Tim Tam eaters are fiercely loyal and well-travelled, often boarding planes with suitcases packed with bikkies to spread the love in faraway nations.
The biscuit is: A wheat flour biscuit with a raspberry jam and fondant topping sprinkled with coconut.
The biscuit says: The Mighty VoVo! Like the biscuit itself VoVo lovers are unique and creative with an attention to detail. The most loyal consumer of any biscuit, VoVo lovers have been eating them since they were young (predominantly) girls, when they were a special treat. The fondant, jam and coconut mix make the VoVo one of the most intricate biscuits, yet they're still fun, playful and, above all, full of life — just like the people who love them.
The biscuit is: Shortbread melt-in-your-mouth biscuit, also available in chocolate-coated variety.
The biscuit says: Sensible snackers, quietly reliable and strong, but still waters run deep … Scotch Finger aficionados enjoy their biscuits at morning and afternoon tea times with a hot beverage and a cherished friend. A Scotch Finger broken in two and shared is a ritual often performed between a grandparent and grandchild. For this reason, Scotch Finger eaters are often mature in age, very young, or very nostalgic. It's a wise idea to be friends with a Scotch Finger lover.
The biscuit is: A round chocolate biscuit topped with mint flavoured cream and coated in dark chocolate, often consumed after dinner
The biscuit says: Mint Slice lovers are mature and discerning in their tastes. Like the dark chocolate and mint combination, they're a little sensual. The Mint Slice lover is all about quality not quantity, in all aspects of their life. Mint Slice eaters also don't like to share.
The biscuit is: Two home-style honey and coconut biscuits and a layer of vanilla cream, wrapped in a delicate layer of raspberry jam. Rather than being broken in two and the centre licked like other cream biscuits, the Monte Carlo is generally eaten with all three layers intact.
The biscuit says: Monte Carlo lovers are a sophisticated biscuit eater with their tongue firmly placed in cheek. The Monte Carlo is a family favourite, but seen as premium enough to be served with 'the good biscuits' when guests pop in. If you love a Monte Carlo, you're probably family-oriented; a homebody who loves to play host to your loved ones.
The biscuit is: Two soft biscuits held together with jam and marshmallow and covered with dark chocolate.
The biscuit says: Wagon Wheel eaters are loyal, a little quirky and lots of fun to be around. If you love a Wagon Wheel, chances are you're older than 20 and still silently recite "Eeet ze Wagon Wheel" before consuming one. You probably also swear that Wagon Wheels have gotten smaller over time — for the record, the same mould is still used to bake the Wagon Wheel, leaving the phenomenon of the "shrinking Wagon Wheel" down to perception as we get older and bigger. If you love this biscuit, you're probably feeling reeeeeally old by now ... but you're still fun to be around. We promise.
The biscuit is: A thin plain biscuit made with Arrowroot flour and natural ingredients.
The biscuit says: Arrowroot nibblers are sensible snackers and family people. Love of this biscuit starts at birth — given Arrowroots to chew on while teething, adult Arrowroot lovers grow into reliable and dependable people, and can be counted on to pass the tradition down to their own kids for generations. They're probably also exceedingly good at saving money.
The biscuit is: Shortbread Cream is a delightful, buttery shortbread biscuit with a creamy vanilla filling. It's made using an Arnott's family traditional Scottish shortbread recipe and is eaten throughout the day as an everyday treat for families on the go.
The biscuit says: Hello Dad! Like the Shortbread Cream biscuit, you're tough on the outside but a softie on the inside. This biscuit is for sharing in fun with the family, so if you're not a dad, you're definitely a lover of family time. Shortbread Cream lovers don't get lured by new fancy varieties or fads - they're loyal, content people.
The biscuit is: Rolled oats, desiccated coconut and golden syrup, give a distinctive homemade texture perfectly complemented by a luxurious chocolate cream filling.
The biscuit says: Darling, sweetie, you are quite the catch — bubbly and intelligent and an appreciator of the finer things in life. Kingston lovers know quality when they taste it. Don't be fooled by their size — Kingston's, like their consumers, have an immediately moreish impact … they're both easy to become addicted to.
The biscuit is: Thumb-sized teddy bear-shaped snacks — Meet them, then eat them. Arnott's cutest biscuit range comprises six little characters: Happy, Sleepy, Grumpy, Cheeky, Silly and Hungry.
The biscuit says: You're either a child or a child at heart. Tiny Teddy eaters love to have fun and have all sorts of rituals in their daily routine, as mirrored in how they eat their Teddy's — does the leg go first, or the head? There are six Tiny Teddy characters, and fans get disappointed when they can't find them all in a multi-pack — these guys definitely appreciate being able to sample all aspects of life.
The biscuit is: Ginger Nuts are a traditional English biscuit and are meant to be hard and crunchy and quite gingery with some ginger heat. Predominantly dunked in a cup of tea, they are also consumed by travellers to help with motion sickness.
The biscuit says: Ginger Nuts are one of Arnott's most unique products, as there are four slightly different Ginger Nut flavours to suit the tastes of people in different states.
We know for sure that Ginger Nut lovers don't like change, and get quite upset when their biscuit doesn't taste as it should. In Queensland, Ginger Nuts are thin and sweet, with a dark colour. In New South Wales they are small, thick and hard, with a light colour. In Victoria and Tasmania, they are bigger, softer and sweeter. While in South and Western Australia, the biscuits look similar to their Victorian cousins, but taste sweeter.
We'll let you make of that what you will ...
The biscuit is: Lightly salted cracker biscuit, with a layer of delicious, tangy lemon cream.
The biscuit says: A little sweet and a little tart, the Lemon Crisp is a taste sensation, sprinkled with salt. Discovered later in life, the Lemon Crisp purveyor is one of the few who enjoys their biscuit with wine.
They live in fear that this sweet/savoury discovery will somehow disappear from shelves, and so only share the secret of their favourite nibble with their inner circle ... Somehow being one of a select few who know the versatile joy that is the Lemon Crisp is appealing.
We're going to go out on a limb and say the Lemon Crip lover is slightly narcissistic, slightly elitist, and slightly secretive.

Biscuits don't talk. And if they did they wouldn't judge me on how I eat them, who I eat them with or what type of person I am.

Iced VoVo's all the way for me, but how they've changed over the years, the topping used to much plumper and more generous. Luckily they still tast the same. As do Shortbread Creams, TimTams, Monte's, Scotch Fing....

You missed the last one: 13 - Orange Creme What this biscuit says: You are a selfless loyal friend, willing to "take one for the team". You are happy with what ever crap life throws at you, even if it is a repulsive orange flavoured biscuit. You are the kind of friend that looks after others needs first and would never dream of taking a Monte Carlo if you felt there was someone else more deserving. You are happy to patiently wait your turn until there are there are just crumbs and Orange Cremes left in the tray. Either that, or you are just too damn slow when the Family Assortment packet is opened.

Honey Jumbles. Chocolate Montes. Chocolate Wheatens. So many more classics. I was disappointed the day Kingstons replaced one of my faves, the ones with jam and pink filling, in the Family Cream Assortment.

Sigmund Posted at 12:57 PM April 17, 2014
Liz (comment 6) - It's obvious. It says that you are repressed, find very little joy or pleasure in life, hide your true feelings, pretend that everything is OK when it's not, talk about people behind their backs and focus obsessively on getting revenge on people whom you think have done the wrong thing by you. Your only pleasure is revealing people's faults and pointing out their mistakes. You don't warn people that they might be about to do something that's not going to work out well for them, but still revel in saying "I told you so". Essentially it says that you are not the sort of person anyone would want to be around. You hate social gatherings and think everyone is a wanker. You constantly correct people's grammar and choice of words when they are speaking and you tell them when their facts are wrong to demonstrate your superior knowledge. You also cross your arms and keep your head bowed when you walk to avoid eye contact with strangers. Now, buy and eat a carton of Iced Vovos and get over yourself. (Remember, you asked the question! Careful what you ask for.)

Well the recipes have definately changed since I was a kid. I brought my kids Wagon Wheels recently... they hated them and so did I. They were flat and awful. Tim Tams have changed too. Look at those Iced Vo Vo's, where the fluffy marshmallow? I used to love Mighty Mallows, a very big chocolate biscuit topped with marshallow and hundred and thousands... but the bickies these days aren't very good

CLYBOURNE PARK, a play by Bruce Norris
The winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the 2012 Tony Award for Best Play, CLYBOURNE PARK has been described as a "response" to Lorraine Hansberry's "Raisin In The Sun". Describing the history of a Chicago neighborhood, Norris tells us a fifty-year long story of how race, economics, diversity, changing neighborhoods, and gentrification affect the residents of one very specific house. Serious and satirical at once, CLYBOURNE PARK is a play that challenges our cultural assumptions at every turn.

Hello, I'm playing Buldar's Gate part 1 with my girl friend. Anyhow I see how you can use health potions via the trigger buttons....
...but how the hell do you use the potion of recall? I goto the menu, hit A to Equip (with an without weapons in hand) and nothing happens. How do I use this thing? I'm in a safe zone with no enemies in the beginning of the game in the sewers btw.
Thankx in advance.

The wife loves them
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit: True to size
She was really looking for a nice classy boot and this definitely fits the bill. She is able to wear this boot with any jeans that she has and feel the support these boots give her regardless of where she goes. If you want structure with style, then this is the way to go.
Gorgeous boot but...
I have been looking for a pair of grey boots for a long time, and was very excited to find these. While they are gorgeous, high quality, comfortable and have a couple unique features to them, they are more green/blue than grey. I would keep them but for the price I really need the right colour!
Olukai Holo Lio II Boot - Women's
nice looking
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
i normally wear a size 8 in every shoe i have ever bought - however, i felt like i could have gone up a 1/2 size as the toe box on this pair is fairly narrow. If you only wear very thin sock (like a sock liner preferably) the sizing works. And even with the back zip all the way to the heal, they are a struggle to get on -that may change the more i wear them though....
I will say on the good side - i have fairly athletic calves, and i had no problem with them being too tight around the largest part of my calf - with an outside circumference of 15in.
I agree, I usually wear a 7 but for these I need a 7 1/2.
Awesome review!! Super helpful
Blue boots
thought by the pics these might be a darker suede, but as you can see - this is not the case.
So are the boots blue or gray? Thank you!!!
they are more blue than gray
Thank you for the reply, I appreciate it!
Nice boot.
These boots are beautiful. I love the charcoal gray, the split on the side, and the rear zipper. The leather is on the stiffer side but not stiff enough to make them uncomfortable. The only thing i wasnt crazy about was the lug sole in the lighter color. I bought 8.5 and 9. I also have "athletic" 15.5 inch calves and these fit well. The 8.5 was too small and the 9 a touch too big. I decided to keep the 9 and make it work. The next day the zipper broke, so I had to send them back.
Are these boots blue or gray?
Are these boots blue or gray?
they are green/blue - definitely not gray. Gorgeous though!

Rockefeller calls it a day
By Dominic Kamp
October 23rd, 2013
Although it was back in 2008 when I visited the Rockefeller Center the last time, it felt like yesterday. I noticed though that the skyline had changed quite a bit. The building in the front center (between 46th & 47th streets) must have popped up out of the ground, as it's not even in Google Maps. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful day and at last, I could experience how Rockefeller enjoyed a sunny day's ending.

Morraine Lake, AB, Canada is the starting point of the Larch Valley hike. Hoping for better weather, a friend and I set out for a light day in the mountains. The clouds happened to offer a nice light for this shot.
Shot from a very common spot to photograph. I believe this to be a very different mood and angle than the norm, though.

Nothing personnel... I just think a lot of this is semantics..... If the gun goes off when it wasn't ment to it was unintentional(No matter if it's stuped or ignorence). People can call it what they will, but it's still going off when it shouldn't, and that has to be checked. I'd rather see more on ways to keep it from happening, even if I think I know it all, I want to learn more on proper safety for handling/control/operaton/accuracy.
Not saying you don't have a point, it just made me think about what it takes to stop accidents.

Two men said to have 3 pounds of marijuana
BARRE Two Randolph men have been charged with driving with a little over 3 pounds of marijuana on Interstate 89.
Martin C. Dalley-Wall, 23, and Devin J. Bagalio, 24, pleaded not guilty to felony possession of over a pound of marijuana Thursday in Washington County criminal court. If convicted they each face a maximum of five years in prison and a $100,000 fine.
According to the Vermont State Police affidavit, police were told the vehicle Bagalio was driving was possibly transporting drugs. State police located the vehicle and started following it. Police said the rear plate was hard to read, which is a violation, so the vehicle was pulled over.
State police said Bagalio looked nervous and that they asked if they could search the vehicle. Bagalio declined, and a police dog was called to see if any drugs could be detected in the vehicle.
State police said the dog signaled there were drugs in the vehicle and that they impounded the car so they could apply for a search warrant. The warrant was granted, and state police said they found a large cardboard box with three bags of marijuana inside.
Bagalio has convictions for disorderly conduct in 2008 and marijuana possession of under an ounce in 2007.MORE IN Central VermontBARRE Joan Black came for the desserts, Shirley Farnham came for the music, Leon Gendron came...

Cervical cancer treatment while pregnant
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I am 6 months pregnant and was told that I have cervical cancer. I go back to the oncologist in a month to have another colposcopy done, to see what grade the cancer is. I need to know what I should and shouldn't do everyday activities while I'm still pregnant?
Christina S. Chu, MD, Assistant Professor of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
You have asked a very difficult question. You need to talk with your gynecologist about whether you have truly been diagnosed with cervical cancer, or just with precancerous cells (dysplasia, or CIN--cervical intraepithelial neoplasia). Depending on the situation, precancerous cells can be followed throughout pregnancy with colposcopy and treated after delivery. If you have precancerous cells on your cervix, I would not recommend any special precautions unless you have vaginal bleeding. True invasive cervical cancer is a different problem, and depending on the size of the tumor, the length of your pregnancy, and your personal wishes, a plan for delivery and for treatment of the cancer needs to be discussed with your obstetrician as well as with a gynecologic oncologist. Each patient's situation is individualized based on the factors I just mentioned.

something for the whole family on this game. Our family has age 4-50 playing it and having a great time :)
I gave this to my grandsons for Christmas and they just loved it so much they could not stop playing. Even the parents and grandparents enjoyed playing.
Product description says it comes with motion plus remote attachment, which is required to play the game. Once we were home and the kids had torn the package open, there's a small side note on the cover that says motion plus is not included and is required. I would not have purchased this game if I had known that. This is not a review of the game, the game itself is fine, my kids have played at their grandparents, I was dissapointed with Walmart's product description.
This game is better than described. My boys received 5 games for the Wii & this is the one they play most. Great for the entire family!
Lots of games, fun for entire family...my 4 year old son plays every game on here. My personal favorite is swordfighting. Must have motionplus remote to play. Definitely recommended!
A co-worker from work informed me that the WII Sport Resort had Canoeing/ Kayaking on the software. I'm a experience kayaker/ canoeing of 15 years! This software will keep me training during the off season.
issue is with the amount of information given on Walmart website - I was under the impression that the motion device would be with the item...but it clearly wasn't stated. So I purchased this as a gift and now the poor kids can't play it because I now need to order the extra item. Had I know or the information been clear 'whats in the box'.....I could have done it all at once. Just very disappointing!
my grand children played the entire time they stayed here with me a big thumbs up
Bought this as a gift for Christmas for my daughter at her request. Had it shipped from another Wal-Mart to my home. Arrived in a timely manner and she loves it. The whole family has played it and love it as well. Mom is a pretty awesome swords(wo)man if I do say so myself!
OUr family LOVE this game...we even had to get ourselves -- our Wii selves--all tan to go to the island! Kids are from 3-12 and all can participate in some of the games.
Gave it as a gift to my kids and grandkids and they LOVED it.
My daughter is 10. She loves this game. !!
We were looking for a cost effective, multifunction Wii gaming package. This is exactly what we needed! I was thrilled with the shipping to my local WalMart. It is a great savings and very convenient!
My kids love this one (OK, I do too) - lots of fun for the whole family, a lot of variety, and something for everyone (even my 4 year old can figure out most of the games).
Me and the hubby thought this would be a great game for the family and we were thrilled that even our 3 yearold could play most of the games on here.
I must say this game was everything I thought it would be. My wife & I have been playing it alot lately
Sent to our grandson in Florida. Was available for pickup in local store and all worked as advertised.
The kids played this at a friend's house and even the adults enjoyed playing.
Lots of fun for young and old.

SDCC: New "Star Trek" Series Gets Full Title, First Teaser Released
Well, crap.
Jimmy Palmiotti has confirmed that despite recently adding Darwyn Cooke as a regular contributor, Creator-Owned Heroes, the comics magazine he created with Justin Gray and Steve Niles, will be ending with next month's Issue 8. In an interview with Bleeding Cool, Palmiotti talked about why he thinks the experiment failed:
…I don't think there is a clean answer … People thought they were getting fewer comics in the book since there were so many articles and interviews, when in fact there was the same amount of comic pages, if not more, each month. I was told that new characters cannot work in an anthology format; I was told the names involved were not big enough, how the logo didn't work, and how there were to many articles and so on. We took all these comments to heart and as you look at each and every issue, you see that we moved the logo, shrunk the logo, added comic pages, moved the placement, added new talent, and so on. Some very generous pros gave me advice and others told me the book would never find an audience because the Big Two companies are putting out too much product, etc. The reasons go on and on and I am sure the posts after this piece will show what each person thought killed the book.
I'm not going to try to guess why other people didn't buy the series, but I admit that it took me a while to give Creator-Owned Heroes a chance. As I said in my review, I initially misunderstood the format and thought of it not as a magazine, but as a regular comics anthology (albeit with a ton of back-up pieces) that would read better in collected form. Once I realized that I was missing the point, I gave it a try and loved it.
Shortly after the cancellation was announced, Twitter exploded with a ton of #SaveCreatorOwnedHeroes tweets, but the magazine's Twitter account ultimately posted,"Hey everyone, thanks for the love, but I don't think it's in the cards. Maybe next time. #ItWasAGoodRun"
It was a good run and Palmiotti, Gray, and Niles should all be very proud of it. I'm sorry to see it go.
Perhaps more, or better, promotion was needed because I didn't even know about it and I really like those creators.
One of the big questions these days is whether it's worthwhile to compete in the periodical market against massive multinational multimedia conglomerates that have the infrastructure to produce on a regular basis. I would argue that it isn't. I understand what these creators were trying to do (terrible title and all), but it struck me as trying the same thing (only one anthology magazine has really managed to stick around in three and a half decades of trying) and expecting a different result.
I don't care how jam-packed each issue was. It all comes down to price, and if I'm not going to buy a $4 Marvel book, I certainly won't buy one that's over $5.
I feel the price of comics is what's driving the bulk of us away from trying new things.
This is too bad, it was a VERY creative and good idea. Loved the Phil Noto stuff.
Yeah, I only heard of it once it was announced on Bleeding Cool that it was ending. Lack of significant promotion is likely the culprit. I'd have checked it out too (and still might) if there are issues left at my FLCBS.
Most of the sales associates there had never heard of it either!
@Matt, the price isn't an issue if there are more pages. You're literally buying more. Dark Horse Presents is $7.99 and there are usually 6 or more separate stories (even different genres) in that book. You get what you pay for–so stop blaiming the cost.
@Matt, the price isn't an issue if there are more pages.
You know…I don't think that matters to some folks. All they see is the price.
I remember a LOT of whining about the pricing of NEW FRONTIER, even though they got the page count of three books for the price of two.
"I don't care how jam-packed each issue was. It all comes down to price, and if I'm not going to buy a $4 Marvel book, I certainly won't buy one that's over $5."
Am I missing something here? Every single issue of Creator-Owned Heroes is priced at $3.99, so I don't understand where Matt came up with "over $5."
I'd never heard of this book before and it sounds like the kind of book I'd gladly buy.
But- because of the lousy state (IMO) of monthly comics these days I've gotten out of the habit of making a trip to the comic shop. Five years ago I'd stop in at my LCS once a week. Two years ago I cut that to once a month. Now, I've stopped off at the LCS once in the last year.
This is the kind of book that might have kept me interested in stopping by and shopping for comics.
Too little, too late, for me anyway.
Sadly, my local comic shop has only been ordering one copy (the one on my pull list). I don't think many people knew about this comic.
The current comics market needs to be razed. Marvel and DC, as corporations, need to be lobotomized (via the lobotomization of their parent companies). Then, AND ONLY THEN, would comics such as Creator-Owned Heroes stand a chance.
Argh!! This was one of the books I most looked forward to every month! Thanks for the fun run, guys.
I believe the problem lies with the retailers. Most of them buy the products they "think" their customers will buy. How can you buy a book your retailer doesn't carry? As for promotion, that's a huge problem in the industry, anyway. There is none to speak of.
I knew about this book because my local store carries it. But he's an open minded retailer. It's sad to see this go. I was hoping to work my way into it at some point.
I was very sad to see this stop. There were a few issues i thought with how it was promoted [a bit to inside the bubble and for all the effort not as aggressive as it could have been], but Jimmy mentioned on the boards they had a good 4 to 5 thousand core readers, respectable numbers for a new series still just finding it's ground – but could not afford to keep it going for now even so. Not enough $ coming in to go around to make sure people got paid properly seems to be a key issue for the crew.
So when i see folks complaining about the price, and not even the one it was but a higher one that is still cheep compared to what people blow on other junk, i kind of want to slap that person around a bit. Yes, you get what you pay for deadbeats.
Frankly this is half the reason i'm putting out a premium quarterly comic and not a cheep monthly floppy. Rather grow a readership willing to support my work than try to appease junkie mentalities. #everythingwrongwithcomics
Damn smiley should not be smiling, that's a disapproving tongue!
The book cost $3.99 and had more pages than any dc or marvel title…but whatever. The bottom line was a lot of retailers didnt even order it, so it was almost impossible for people to get it.
It is available at COMIXOLOGY on digital, for anyone willing to give it a shot. every penny goes to the creators involved. Thanks for the kind words.

This article presents a methodology for producing a quarterly transactions-based index (TBI) of property-level investment performance for U.S. institutional real estate. Indices are presented for investment periodic total returns and capital appreciation (or price-changes) for the major property types included in the NCREIF Property Index. These indices are based on transaction prices to avoid appraisal-based sources of index "smoothing" and lagging bias. In addition to producing variable-liquidity indices, this approach employs the Fisher-Gatzlaff-Geltner-Haurin (Real Estate Econ., 31: 269–303, 2003) methodology to produce separate indices tracking movements on the demand and supply sides of the investment market, including a "constant-liquidity" (demand side) index. Extensions of Bayesian noise filtering techniques developed by Gatzlaff and Geltner (Real Estate Finance, 15: 7–22, 1998) and Geltner and Goetzmann (J. Real Estate Finance Econ., 21: 5–21, 2000) are employed to allow development of quarterly frequency, market segment specific indices. The hedonic price model used in the indices is based on an extension of the Clapp and Giacotto (J. Am. Stat. Assoc., 87: 300–306, 1992) "assessed value method," using a NCREIF-reported recent appraised value of each transacting property as the composite "hedonic" variable, thus allowing time-dummy coefficients to represent the difference each period between the (lagged) appraisals and the transaction prices. The index could also be used to produce a mass appraisal of the NCREIF property database each quarter, a byproduct of which would be the ability to provide transactions price based "automated valuation model" estimates of property value for each NCREIF property each quarter. Detailed results are available at http://web.mit.edu/cre/research/credl/tbi.html.

Nottingham Forest remain behind sixth-placed Millwall only on goal difference after coming from behind to win 2-1 in their npower Championship clash at Wolves.
Adlene Guedioura marked his return to Molineux with a brilliant long-range winner against his former club, the Algerian settling the game in the 57th minute after Billy Sharp had cancelled out Bjorn Sigurdarson's early opener.
Brighton were made to rue a number of missed opportunities as David Ngog's last-gasp strike earned Bolton an unlikely 1-1 draw at the Amex Stadium.
The former Liverpool striker netted with the last kick of the game to cancel out Bruno Saltor's opener and preserve Dougie Freedman's unbeaten record as Bolton boss following his move from Crystal Palace.
Adam Clayton converted a late penalty to salvage a 1-1 draw for 10-man Huddersfield against Charlton.
The Terriers saw Keith Southern dismissed in the first half and fell behind to Rob Hulse's effort after 60 minutes, but Simon Grayson's men hit back with two minutes to play as Clayton kept his cool to net his first goal in 12 matches.
Blackpool fought back from two goals down to draw 2-2 against Watford.
The Tangerines trailed 2-0 after only 21 minutes through goals from Ikechi Anya and Troy Deeney, but veteran Kevin Phillips threw the hosts a lifeline within seven minutes of the restart and Thomas Ince snatched a point for his team in stoppage time.
The battle between the division's bottom two teams, Ipswich and Peterborough, finished 1-1 at Portman Road.
Lee Tomlin's sixth goal of the season handed the visitors an eighth-minute lead but it was not enough to claim all three points. Tomlin turned villain on the hour as he brought down Lee Martin in the penalty area, leaving on-loan QPR striker DJ Campbell to equalise from the spot.

I have changed my web to an VPS server and i'm having problems with WP-DBManager. Fist of all i was changing the directories of the backup, and the MySQL Path and the MySQL dump path are the same in my server /usr/bin.
I have seen the directory and the mysql executable and the dump. The plugin says me that these executables no exist. But if i press backup db and the process finish well.
I have seen in Internet that there is not possible to detect certainly the access to those files.
I don't mind if the red message apears, but i have noted that if the message read apears the plugin doesn't run the scheduled works.
Thanks for all

Host Kai Ryssdal and Dallas-based stock broker and analyst David Johnson look at the week that was, and the week that will be, on Wall Street.
On this Christmas eve learn about the Best Gift Ever for Gary Rogers, CEO of Dreyers Grand ice cream.
Overindulgence could be the catchword for the holiday season. Spending too much on gifts is a given. But what about those extra perks you pick up for yourself? Does it pay off for the rest of the year? Marketplace commentator and actress Michelle Philippe can't stay out of the petite boutique.
In Iraq today...the 140,000 or U.S. servicemen and women serving in Iraq do their best to celebrate the holiday season American style. It isn't always easy - being so far from home. From Baghdad, Borzou Daragahi takes a look at how they try and handle it.
Christmas accounts for something like 40% of retail sales - but other holidays mean big business too. There's Stepparents' Day, Sweetest Day - and all those other ones such as Thanksgiving and Halloween. Host Kai Ryssdal speaks to Maud Lavin, editor of the recent book, The Business of Holidays, about commerce and celebration.

This will be my last query on this topic--I promise!! Does ANYONE know if the PUCMM offers classes in Spanish to foreigners on a short-term basis? I am having difficulty locating a place where I can arrange for classes in Spanish for a few weeks next fall. On their website I can't access anything about this topic. What about "Program CIEE--PUCMM?" Berlitz Institute, I've heard, offers Spanish as well as French, but I can't find any address for them. I am so desperate now I would be thrilled to pay a tutor for help. Does anyone know of a university grad student/dept., etc. that offers this service? Thanks so much!

I Like Old Clothes (Hardcover)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
"I like old clothes, / Hand-me-down clothes, / Worn outgrown clothes, / Not-my-own clothes." . . . Originally published by Knopf in 1976 (with illustrations by Jacqueline Chwast), this poem an exuberant celebration of hand-me-down clothes is just as relevant and accessible today as it was over 30 years ago. Children's Poet Laureate Mary Ann Hoberman offers a bouncy, fun-to-read-aloud text and a refreshingly agreeable, resourceful protagonist who likes old clothes for their "history" and "mystery." Illustrator Patrice Barton brings new, contemporary life to the poem, with an adorable little girl and her younger brother playing dress-up, making crafts, and happily treasuring their hand-me-downs.
About the Author

Praise For…
Starred Review, School Library Journal, June 2012:
"The imaginative child's enthusiasm is infectious–kids might well be inspired to ask for secondhand outfits themselves…. The overall effect is a visual celebration of old clothes."

Anyone showing yet?
My belly is all bloat belly right now, but finally starting to be able to feel my uterus just beneath that!
Michelle (30) DH (33) - Married 7/26/03
M/C 8/8/11 (11w1d BO) & 11/18/11 (4w2d CP).
Baby boy born 6/27/13
I'm like you - I'm 12 and a half weeks and I've only gained one pound, and other than being just a little thicker around the middle, I'm not showing at all.
Depends on your definition of showing. My lower abdomen is starting to get a little round and stick out a bit and my midwife says that she can feel my uterus starting to grow up above my pubic bone. So my lower abdomen does have an authentic baby bump, but nobody can see it when I'm fully clothed, so I don't know if that counts as showing. My belly is poochy and sure looks bump-ish but that's all just bloat.
I am now showing with #3 at 11.5 weeks. I know it's partially bloat because it's bigger at night, but my stomach is no longer flat when I wake up in the morning, and I've only gained 1 lb so far so I'm 116 and 5'6".
Good thing we are planning on announcing in a few days because it's starting to become obvious! Yesterday I told a friend that comes for a weekly play date and she said she's suspected for weeks.
Yay for finally starting to show!
I'm 8 weeks 4 days and swear that I have a teeny, tiny bump. No one can tell yet, but me...not even my DH. My pants still fit, but are snug. And with morning sickness, I don't want to wear them ,because they push in on my belly and make me more sick. Ugh. This is #2. I didn't show until about 15 weeks with #1 though.
DS 3/3/2010; Angel baby 8/2011; DD 7/24/2013
I have a beautiful muffin top, although preggers with triplets, I attribute mine to just being a chunky monkey.
Mama of two big ones (20 & 16) and two little ones (3 and 5 months)
i'm 10 weeks and at night i have a major bloat baby. then it shrinks down again in the morning. :)
I am definitely showing at 9 weeks. With my daughter i was in maternity clothes by 3 months, but with my son I was able to wear my regular clothes the entire pregnancy (just had to leave my jeans unbuttoned). I'm hoping the fact that I am showing already is following my history and telling me that its a girl! LOL
