It seems every couple of weeks or so, there's some popular personally that finally makes his or her way onto Twitter. TV stars Charlie Sheen and Conan O'Brien opened their respective accounts to much fanfare, but only a fraction of that enthusiasm for the Twitter debut of the ecumenical horse's ass that is Michael Ray Wilbon.
Wilbon, who co-hosts ESPN's "Pardon The Interruption," has seen his popularity explode since jumping from The Washington Post to TV in 2001. Every original show that ESPN has done since then seems to parrot "PTI" in some way, where old gasbags from the newspaper world exchange uninformed opinions on current events in sports. Wilbon had been critical of and expressed reluctance in joining the world of 140 characters in the past, but the pressure to keep up with those already onboard was apparently too much for him to bear.
"Okay, I've resisted joining the Twitter revolution…but peer pressure made me do it…so here goes, be careful what you ask for!"
Some people will say, "Yeah, he shouldn't have been so critical before, but it's nice to finally have him on board." I couldn't agree less. This is just another example of Wilbon backtracking after talking out of his ass about something he never took time to understand. But Josh, you don't understand he's paid to have opinions. No, he's paid to deliver informed opinions, which he seems to have no interest in creating, whether it's about Sean Taylor or Stan Van Gundy or inciting brown-on-white violence toward Pete Carroll. Wilbon must have one of the greatest BlackBerrys ever if he's able to thumb off tweets with his nose buried in Charles Barkley's ass.

"He's back."
Words Macy Donovan hoped to never hear.
Trace Cartwright was the maverick rodeo cowboy who broke her heart, leaving her on the steps of the church on the eve of their wedding. Now he's returned to build his home and to lay claim to her heart ... again. Macy barely survived the broken heart the first time. Does he think he can walk back into her life and take up where he left off?
Well, she was a take charge kinda gal now wasn't she? The girl Trace Cartwright had left behind would have shrunk away into a dark corner to lick her wounds. But that's not who she was anymore. Her eyes flew to the rearview mirror. Then her brain took over, and she spun the truck into a U-turn at the end of Main Street…good ting the sheriff was looking the other way. The element of surprise was on her side, and she would use it.
Born and raised in the Lone Star state of Texas, Debra grew up among horses, cowboys, wide open spaces, and real Texas Rangers. Pride in her state and ancestry knows no bounds and it is these heroes and heroines she loves to write about the most. She also draws upon a variety of life experiences including working with abused children, caring for baby animals at a major zoo, and planning high-end weddings (ah, romance!).
When she isn't busy writing about tall Texans and feisty heroines, she can be found cheering on her Texas Tech Red Raiders, or heading off on another cruise adventure. She read her first romance...Janet Dailey's Fiesta San Antonio, over thirty years ago and became hooked on the genre. Writing contemporary romances, is both her passion and dream come true, and she hopes her books will bring smiles...and sighs...to all who believe in happily-ever-after's.

Mozilla Online Website Two Sub-Domains XSS (Cross-site Scripting) Bugs ( All URLs Under the Two Domains)
(The two domains above are almost the same)
Websites information:
"lxr.mozilla.org, mxr.mozilla.org are cross references designed to display the Mozilla source code. The sources displayed are those that are currently checked in to the mainline of the mozilla.org CVS server, Mercurial Server, and Subversion Server; these pages are updated many times a day, so they should be pretty close to the latest‑and‑greatest." (from Mozilla)
"Mozilla is a free-software community which produces the Firefox web browser. The Mozilla community uses, develops, spreads and supports Mozilla products, thereby promoting exclusively free software and open standards, with only minor exceptions. The community is supported institutionally by the Mozilla Foundation and its tax-paying subsidiary, the Mozilla Corporation. In addition to the Firefox browser, Mozilla also produces Thunderbird, Firefox Mobile, the Firefox OS mobile operating system, the bug tracking system Bugzilla and a number of other projects." (Wikipedia)
(1) Vulnerability description:
Mozilla website has a computer cyber security problem. Hacker can attack it by XSS bugs. Here is the description of XSS: "Hackers are constantly experimenting with a wide repertoire of hacking techniques to compromise websites and web applications and make off with a treasure trove of sensitive data including credit card numbers, social security numbers and even medical records. Cross-site Scripting (also known as XSS or CSS) is generally believed to be one of the most common application layer hacking techniques Cross-site Scripting allows an attacker to embed malicious JavaScript, VBScript, ActiveX, HTML, or Flash into a vulnerable dynamic page to fool the user, executing the script on his machine in order to gather data. The use of XSS might compromise private information, manipulate or steal cookies, create requests that can be mistaken for those of a valid user, or execute malicious code on the end-user systems. The data is usually formatted as a hyperlink containing malicious content and which is distributed over any possible means on the internet." (Acunetix)
All pages under the following two URLs are vulnerable.
This means all URLs under the above two domains can be used for XSS attacks targeting Mozilla's users.
Since there are large number of pages under them. Meanwhile, the contents of the two domains vary. This makes the vulnerability very dangerous. Attackers can use different URLs to design XSS attacks to Mozilla's variety class of users.

Housing, industry, commerce, and the major components of infrastructure that support settlements-energy, water supply, transportation, waste disposal, and so forth-have varying degrees of vulnerability to climate change. They can be affected directly through projected changes in climate (temperature, precipitation, etc.) and indirectly through projected impacts on the environment, natural resources, and agriculture. Indirect pathways to impacts include expected changes in the availability of natural resources, geographic shifts in climate-sensitive resource industries, effects on environmental quality and health from changes in ecosystems, and other effects resulting from changes in environmental service functions. Furthermore, these effects on human settlements in theory could lead to tertiary impacts-such as altering land use and redistributing population and activities to other regions-resulting in further changes in natural resources and other activities. Such effects, however, are largely speculative at the current state of knowledge.
Climate directly affects the quality of life; alters patterns of settlement and human activities; subjects humans to risks to their health, safety, and property (e.g., due to extreme events); and, therefore, has costs and benefits for individuals and for the private and public sectors. As such, changes in climate are expected to have positive and negative impacts.
Climate change will have direct impacts on economic activity in the industry, energy, and transportation sectors; impacts on markets for goods and services; and impacts on natural resources on which economic activity depends. Activities directly sensitive to climate include construction, transportation, offshore oil and gas production, manufacturing dependent on water, tourism and recreation, and industry that is located in coastal zones and permafrost regions. Activities with markets sensitive to climate include electricity and fossil fuel production for space heating and air conditioning, construction activity associated with coastal defenses, and transportation. Activities dependent on climate-sensitive resources include agro-industries (food/drink, forestry-related activity, and textiles), biomass production, and other renewable energy production.
Impacts occurring in the distant future are difficult to predict in detail because the context of human settlement patterns and technologies cannot be forecast accurately. Concomitantly, there are substantial opportunities for adaptation to changed climates in conjunction with the development of future housing and infrastructure facilities, depending in part on our capability to forecast climate changes. Many types of impacts on human facilities have the potential to be partially or completely reduced or eliminated through adaptation, though this usually will increase their costs.
Projected changes in climate will have both negative and positive impacts on the operation and maintenance costs of transportation systems.
Studies in temperate and northern climates generally have indicated that higher temperatures will result in lower maintenance costs, especially with fewer freeze-thaw cycles and less snow (e.g., Walker et al., 1989; Daniels et al., 1992). Black (1990) points out, however, that increased pavement buckling caused by longer periods of intense heat is a possibility. Lewis (1988) and Hirsch (1988) cite such cases from the great North American summer heat wave of 1988.
In moderate climates, water transport would be affected by changes in river navigability. Reductions in rainfall, which are possible during the summer in mid-latitudes in North America, could adversely affect waterborne transportation. During the 1988 drought, industries that relied on bulk transportation of raw materials and finished products by barge on the Mississippi River found that low water kept more than 800 barges tied up for several months. In 1993, by contrast, floods in the upper Mississippi valley also disrupted the barge transportation system, and in 1997 increased siltation associated with floods prevented ships from reaching the port of New Orleans for several days. To the extent that industry is moving toward just-in-time production systems, it will become more vulnerable to interruptions for these and other reasons.
In colder regions, the most significant direct impact of warming is likely to be on inland and coastal water transportation. A longer season for Arctic shipping is likely for locations like Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, which depends on the short ice-free season to barge in modular loads too large to go by truck. Increased wave activity and increased frequency of extreme weather events might have a more significant effect on coastal transportation operations, but little research has been conducted on this topic. A survey of the potential impacts on Canadian shipping suggested net benefits to Arctic and ocean shipping as a consequence of deeper drafts in ports and longer navigational seasons (IBI Group, 1990).
Winter roads on ice constitute an important part of the transportation network in parts of Canada's north. For example, about 10-15% of the total annual flow of goods in the Mackenzie Valley moves over winter roads, some of which cross major rivers. As the name implies, winter roads (or ice roads) are functional in the winter only; they are made of snow, ice, or a mixture of soil and snow/ice and can be created on the frozen surface of lakes and rivers. Lonergan et al. (1993) found a substantial reduction in the length of the "ice road" season based on climate change projections.
Further south, there would be a greater number of ice-free days for inland waterways such as the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway (IBI Group, 1990). Inland waterways, however, may suffer loss of depth from greater periods of seasonal drought, reducing their usefulness for commercial shipping even if the ice-free season is lengthened (Black, 1990). A similar study showed that reduced ice cover compensated for lower water levels in two of three climate change scenarios but that dredging costs generally increased in the six Great Lakes ports examined (Keith et al., 1989). Other climate impacts could arise from changes in snowfall or melting of the permafrost (IBI Group, 1990).
Changes in the location and nature of agricultural activities, as well as other climate-dependent industries, could have a large impact on the freight transport system.
Existing assessments of transportation impacts have recognized the potential significance of changes in geographical patterns of economic activity on the transportation network. Black (1990) notes that even gradual, long-term global warming could cause a major disruption of the movement of goods and people in North America. The IBI Group (1990) suggests that there probably would be a northward spreading of agricultural, forestry, and mining activities-resulting in increased population and intensified settlement patterns in Canada's mid-north and even in Arctic areas. Marine, road, rail, and air links would have to be expanded accordingly.

North Pacific right whales may not be going extinct after all.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska North Pacific right whales may not be going extinct after all.
Scientists have found twice as many right whales in the Bering Sea as previously spotted, giving them hope the rare whales are making a comeback.
"We saw more right whales in the Bering Sea than have been documented in the last five years combined," said National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scientist Robert Pitman, who was aboard a research vessel that spotted 25 whales, including three cows with calves.
"It is definitely a reason for cautious optimism," Pitman said.
The NOAA scientists were conducting a survey of humpback whales last month when they spotted a right whale and followed it. The scientists decided to go to an area of the Bering Sea where whales had been seen before.
"As we were approaching the area, we found a couple of right whales and were extremely surprised to find a cow and a calf. This was only the second calf to be seen in the North Pacific in about 100 years," Pitman said.
"There are at least twice as many as previously thought," said NOAA scientist Paul Wade, who was involved in placing satellite tags on two whales in August. "It is very good news for this species."
Right whales in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans were hunted nearly to extinction before coming under international protection in 1949. The number in Alaska waters probably is in the dozens. More than 100 are in waters off Russia and Japan.
There were very few sightings of Pacific right whales from 1900 into the mid-1990s. Scientists were puzzled by the rarity of whale sightings in Alaska until finding out in 2000 that the Soviets had illegally harvested several hundred in the Bering Sea and south of Kodiak in the mid-1960s.
Many scientists considered the illegal harvest the death blow to the species. But in 1996, NOAA scientists found a small number of right whales foraging in an area of Bristol Bay.
"That was very much a surprise. Up until that time there was growing concern that the population may have been extinct or headed toward extinction," Pitman said.

You will no longer be able to use the online features for this title from 29th March 2018.
Welcome to the incredible world of EyePet, an extraordinary experience which introduces a cheeky and fun new addition to your family. The set up is easy - simply create a clear and well lit space in front of your TV, plug in a PlayStation Eye camera, and then place the Magic Card (included with game) on the floor. The PlayStation Eye camera puts you and your EyePet into the same scene on TV, allowing you both to interact and play together.
Your Pet arrives in a cosy egg, eventually hatching under your care to reveal a friendly and adorable little creature, ready for your affection. Just make sure you give him a good name...
Fluffy and endearing, your Pet can also be given a more personal touch with a little imagination and makeover magic. You can change the colour, style and patterns of his fur and also grow it long or make it spiky and short... or even shave it low for a smooth look. How about dressing up your Pet, too? There are a variety of snazzy outfits to choose from, such as a dragon, cheerleader or even a spacesuit.
And with a constantly new batch of costumes, fur designs, toys and accessories available to download from the in-game store you can keep your Pet entertained and his wardrobe fresh.
Your Pet is like having a super smart kitten or puppy in your living room, without worrying about scratched furniture or house training - it's all the fun and none of the mess. From the start, your Pet will take an interest in you and your movements, following your hands if you wave them or wiggle your fingers, scampering and pouncing around the floor with playful curiosity.
Stroke him and you'll hear a purr of happiness, before rolling over in joy and maybe even falling asleep to dream about the fun he's already had with you that day. And after waking up, he'll stretch, shake himself and get ready to play. You can even speak and sing songs to him that he'll copy.
Just like a real pet, you have to make sure your EyePet is a healthy and happy soul. While you can leave him alone to entertain himself, chasing his tail, looking at anything passing by and even naughtily drawing pictures on the floor, you still have to take care of him. By using your Magic Card, you can scan your Pet to check his mood, hunger and health, before feeding, washing or just playing with him to chase his blues away.
With the ability to take pictures and videos of your favourite EyePet moments - which you can post online for other EyePet owners to admire - there's never-ending ways to enjoy life with your new best friend. EyePet is a cheeky and intelligent pet for all the family. The more you play, teach and interact with him, the more he'll grow and evolve - and the more you'll bond with him.
There's never been a pet experience quite like EyePet - and he's all yours...
Never fear if this is your first time with a pet - EyePet is well designed to introduce you into how to care for him, as well as help him mature from a cute baby into a very clever and energetic adult. By entering the 15-day training programme, you can learn a lot about your Pet and how to interact with him.
The programme is made up of 60 challenges, with activities such as learning how to make your Pet jump, feeding and washing him, playing games (such as bowling and trampoline) and teaching him how to draw - something which will astonish you. If you draw a picture and show it to your Pet using the PlayStation Eye camera, he will copy it to the best of his ability and then show his creativity with pride. The more you teach him, the better he'll become.
And that's not all - by unlocking the magic pen you can draw toys such as a spaceship, plane or car for your Pet. Once you've shown them to the PlayStation Eye camera, they come to life in 3D, which you can control using the Wireless Controller and enjoy games between you and your Pet, or something for him to ride in.
Take care of your Pet by completing the challenges and you'll receive lots of prizes including clothing and craft materials for your toys, as well as being rewarded with pet coins that let you purchase a variety of in-game goodies.

November-March is the U.S. oilseed industry's strongest season for crush, and this year it kicked off early, with October crush coming in at 153.5 million bushels, the largest in three years – up almost 9% from 2011 – and above trade expectations, according to data from the National Oilseed Processors Association (NOPA). The average trade estimate was 144.4 million bushels, up 21% from September and 2% from a year earlier, according to a Dow Jones Newswires survey before the NOPA data were released. But the range of estimates was unusually wide, 127.2-152.5 million bushels.
The large October crush was driven by profitable crush margins, big soymeal exports and reduced soybean protein content. The NOPA October soymeal yield of 47.27 lbs./bu. was down almost a percentage point from a year earlier and was the lowest in three years, although it was still above the five-year average. "What we are hearing is that protein content was better in the early beans because they came from the southern states which were outside the worst of the drought, and then worsened [as harvest progressed, especially in the western Corn Belt]," Tom Hammer of NOPA told Brock Associates. "Our members each have their own ways of dealing with variability in the beans by adjusting their grind – for instance removing more moisture would leave a higher protein content."
"The industry is doing quite well right now. Our members were pleased soybean yields were not as poor as expected given the drought, although the strong bean exports are reducing the supply available to domestic crushers," Hammer says. "However, meal exports also are showing very good volume. The first half [of the marketing year] may be so strong that the second half doesn't hold up."
NOPA-member soymeal exports soared by 116% from a month earlier and nearly 42% over a year earlier, hitting 819,786 short tons (743,697 metric tons).
Solid crush margins should keep U.S. soybean processors competing with exporters for supplies. Soy futures crush spreads are generally running between 60 and 70¢/bu. out through most of 2013. This should help ensure U.S. bean carryout remains tight at the end of 2012-2013.
Editor's note: Richard Brock, Corn & Soybean Digest's marketing editor, is president of Brock Associates, a farm market advisory firm, and publisher of The Brock Report.

Portable Antiquities Scheme
The British Museum co-ordinates the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS), a voluntary initiative to record archaeological objects found by members of the public in England and Wales.
Since March 2007 the department has also been responsible for administering the Treasure Act 1996 on behalf of the UK Government. Every year thousands of objects are discovered by metal-detector users, fieldwalkers, people out walking, gardening or just going about their daily work. Such discoveries offer an important source for understanding our past. The PAS was established to promote the recording of these finds and to broaden public awareness of the importance of these objects.
The Scheme is administered by a network of Finds Liaison Officers (FLOs) based in museums and archaeology services throughout the country. The FLOs record finds, give advice on finds recording, conservation and the Treasure Act. They also encourage members of the public, metal detector users, archaeologists and museums to work together to preserve and learn from the past through holding finds days and other outreach events.

Seligman's flourishing: An appraisal of what lies beyond happiness
Llewellyn E. Van Zyl
Department of Industrial and Organisational Psychology, University of South Africa, Pretoria, South Africa
Professor Martin Seligman is considered to be the most influential psychologist, researcher and author of modern times (Lyubomirsky, 2011; Van Zyl & Du Toit, 2013). Many psychologists have labelled him as the 'father' of positive psychology (Lyubomirsky, 2011) based on his inaugural lecture as president of the American Psychological Association in 1998, in which he called for a more 'positive approach' towards understanding the domain of psychology (Wong, 2011b). According to Wong (2011a), Seligman's inaugural lecture focused on a call for understanding and investigating that which is 'good' or 'excellent' in human nature, or 'what makes happy people, happy'. This gave rise to Seligman's (2002) book Authentic happiness: Using the new positive psychology to realize your potential for lasting fulfilment, in which he argues that happiness is the result of living a 'pleasant', 'good' and 'meaningful life'.
This book (Seligman 2002) popularised the concept of human happiness in both the academic and self-help spheres. Since its publication in 2002, more than 7600 academic articles have been written on Seligman's conceptualisation of the topic. However, this approach received much critique from both practitioners and researchers (Sheldon, Kashdan & Steger, 2011; Van Zyl & Rothmann, 2012). Researchers argued that lasting happiness cannot be obtained merely through focusing on the philosophical paradigms and that more attention needs to be given to moderating factors influencing the experience (Wong, 2011a). Practitioners indicated that the effects of interventions structured around the approach are not sustainable (Van Zyl & Du Toit, 2013). Seligman's response was a new book aimed at addressing the scientific concerns emanating from the critique and moving 'beyond happiness to understanding human flourishing'.
This new book, aptly titled Flourish: A visionary new understanding of happiness and well-being, was an attempt to comment on the critique of researchers and to build out his previous theory on the concept of happiness. The purpose of this review is to provide a brief report and evaluation of the scientific merits of Flourish.
General overview
The book follows a ten chapter structure similar to many mass market psychology texts. It starts with a general report on Seligman's new approach towards well-being, highlighting the historical developments in the field of positive psychology and concluding with his contribution to these progressions. Seligman (p. 26) argues that the goal of the book is to highlight the intended focus of positive psychology as a paradigm: 'to determine the contributors which enhances flourishing'.
The first chapter provides an introduction to Seligman's PERMA theory on human flourishing. This new theory builds upon the original conceptualisation of authentic happiness (comprised of pleasure, meaning and engagement) with two new additions: (1) positive relationships and (2) accomplishments. A brief attempt to conceptualise each component is presented in the first 30 pages of Flourish. This chapter briefly highlights the proposed components of the model and attempts to draw theoretical links between the variables and the concept of flourishing. In summation of this chapter, Seligman argues that the top end of human happiness or 'flourishing' is the result of the interaction and experience of PERMA:
Positive emotion
Engagement in life and work Positive
Meaning in life and work
The second and third chapters provide the reader with various approaches and applications of positive psychological interventions (PPIs) to enhance PERMA. These PPIs are regurgitations of a similar chapter in Peterson and Seligman (2004) as well as Seligman (2002) with no significant new contributions. As with the majority of Seligman's work on PPIs, chapter 2 starts off with the Gratitude Visit, a self-administered intentional activity aimed at displaying gratitude to an individual who has significantly positively impacted on one's life. Here, Seligman highlights the benefits of enhancing the experience of positive emotion in the past through the use of gratitude. The gratitude visit has become one of the focal interventions in PPI research as it has been shown to have a profound effect on the sustainability of the experience of positive emotion (Lyubomirsky, 2011; Sin & Lyubomirsky, 2009; Van Zyl & Rothmann, 2012). Further, Seligman briefly touches on other self-administered intentional activities structured around the utilisation and optimisation of signature strengths which have shown to have impacted on the development of sustainable happiness. These sections are paraphrased versions of chapters in Peterson and Seligman (2004).
Chapter 3 distinguishes between the effects of PPIs and the use of medication to enhance positive affect. The chapter summarises the work of Lyubomirsky (2007) on the hedonic treadmill and highlights various experiments on the relationship between pain tolerance and happiness. Seligman indicates that individuals with high levels of happiness are able to endure more physical pain, than their unhappy counterparts. Here, he also discusses the benefits of the experience of negative emotions and how medication manufacturers have structured a whole industry around the suffering of the masses.
The first three chapters of the book provide a good indication of the value of positive psychology and provide some evidence for PERMA. These chapters provide the layman with a satisfactory overview on the core components of flourishing and provide enough information to entice the reader to research the topic in more depth. However, the following seven chapters are structured around major contributions to the development of positive psychology as a practice field and Seligman's influence on and contribution to each event. It also highlights how shadow government organisations provided funding for research and how Seligman's (not positive psychology's) influence has stretched across the globe (Wong, 2013).
Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 provide an overview of Seligman's (2004) article 'Can happiness be taught?' in which he discusses the challenges he faced in his attempt to develop and present a master's program in Applied Positive Psychology (MAPP). These chapters also highlight two programmes that were developed and implemented in the US military and Geelong Grammar School to enhance positive emotion and build resilience. Limited attention is given to the techniques, interventions and approaches applied during these projects.
Chapters 6 through 8 focus on projects developed and implemented in the military. Again, the focus is on Seligman's involvement in the development of the projects and how funding was provided. These chapters make for fascinating reading 'only if one is interested in entering into the mind- and heart of a brilliant psychologist, introducing its readers to the fairy-tale world of big money, big science, and big names, and Seligman's mega projects' (Wong, 2013). Each chapter does, however, provide a brief self-administered intentional activity which can be used to develop resilience, enhance physical fitness and to build self-regulation.
Chapter 9 provides an indication of the physical benefits of optimism and the effects an intervention program had within the US army. It further substantiates the utilisation of optimism as a means to combat physical diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and infectious illnesses such as flu.
Finally, Chapter 10 focuses on the economics and politics of well-being. Here, Seligman attempts to argue that there is a theoretical relationship between the levels of happiness within a given country and their gross domestic product (GDP). The chapter also imagines a possible future in which positive psychology is integral to academic training programmes and highlights possible future research projects.
Overall impression and conclusion
In summation, the book opens with a philosophical attempt to provide context and substance to Seligman's new theory of well-being. It provides a shallow overview of theory and results in a personal monograph of Seligman's accomplishments, networks, funding and personal legacy. Further, the intended audience for the book is unclear as it is positioned neither as an academic publication nor as a popular psychology text. Little theoretical or empirical evidence is provided for the scientific substantiation of the proposed new theory of well-being. In fact, only three chapters of the 349-page manuscript attempt to build or explain the new theory. Yet some strength-enhancing activities and interventions are described which have been published by other authors (see Lyubomirsky, 2011). The book does not attempt to contribute any new or unique evidence-based interventions or approaches. Wong (2013) argues that the book should not be considered to be either an academic monograph or a popular psychology self-help book, but rather Seligman's personal account of the development of positive psychology.
At various instances in the book, Seligman argues that PERMA differs significantly from other theories and should be considered as the 'gold standard for measuring well-being' (p. 13), yet he fails to provide solid theoretical arguments or empirical evidence in support. Further, the presented theory, PERMA, is not significantly different from authentic happiness theory, but is rather repackaged and recycled with basic principles of consumer behaviour. Similarly, Seligman makes various inferences that PERMA is rooted in scientific evidence and that it is underpinned by signature strengths research. Yet, up to August 2013, no empirical research could be found to substantiate this argument. However, Seligman has initiated a large-scale project through AuthenticHappiness.org to develop and validate a measure for assessing flourishing within the United States.
In conclusion, for the seasoned academic and practitioner, Flourish is a disappointment as a scholarly manuscript and as a pop psychology book. It does not significantly contribute to the current body of knowledge on human flourishing nor does it provide a comprehensive overview of the concept. The book lacks the vigour and sophistication that is to be expected of a scientist of Seligman's standing. Further, the book does not provide enough practical application to be considered a 'self-help' book as much of the text is autobiographic in nature and not a 'step-by-step' or 'how-to' guide on achieving flourishing (Wong, 2013). However, as an overview of major contributions to the field of positive psychology for the layman, and for Seligman's personal accounts thereof, this book is a definite 'must read'. This book is an decent companion for the first-year psychology student to provide a historical overview of positive psychology and to provide insight into what can be done with a career in psychology.

Clipping biners onto the straps is much quicker and easier, and keeps the entire kit in one piece so you don't risk leaving something behind.
If you're considering leaving the biners behind to save weight, just go to a lighter system overall. Amsteel whoopies are still convenient but are lighter than webbing setups.
So, for convenience use the biners on webbing. For weight savings don't use a full webbing system (but still use tree huggers).

- Designer, Jeff's Gear Hammock / Pack Cover by JRB
This seems like a pretty sweet set up.
I tie two slippery half hitches, just to be extra extra sure it doesn't slip!
I like to take a 50-52" piece of Spectra for the whipping, Larks head to attach it to the descender rings then make a continuous loop by double fishermans (online they make this look way too complicated..it took me 30 minutes to figure it out lol) or a whoopie fixed-eye-type continuous loop (looks a bit nicer.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8AgxuJ9sew) and Larks head again to run the loop through the sewn ends.
This gives me just enough clearance to keep the ridgeline out of the way when I'm sitting, keeps the rings attached, keeps the netting high up, and also allows the whipping to be easily taken apart in case I am feeling experimental. I like being able to take things apart. It also helps keeps the ridgeline from resisting adjustment, because its attached to the rings and not run through a tightened sewn end.
I believe this has been briefly discussed here: https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...ad.php?t=33996
I'm still a fan of carrying lots of webbing (9-12ft. on each end).. The webbing is often useful, as I frequently go on some crazy backpacking trips. My 1st hammocking backpacking adventure I almost got eaten by a mountain lion the 3rd night, hahaa. It wasn't funny at the time, but how awesome is that. Be careful bringing your dog, I learned, because they smell good to predators. She stayed inside the hammock, thank god, while we rebuilt the fire and ran around aggressively with a shovel.

when i got my 15' straps i thought it would be overkill, but on my last outing they were the perfect length. i had about 6" left on one strap and about 10" on the other. if they were any shorter i would have had some issues finding a decent spot to hang.
To save money - and to try out the design to see if it'd work well for me - I bought 4 small steel rings from the hardware store at about $1 each. They work fine and I'm thinking about upgrading to descender rings - the steel hardware store rings work fine for tightening the suspension but although the knot doesn't jam it does get a little tight and finicky when I try to loosen it. I'm using 1" webbing straps that serve as tree huggers as well as my suspension. I have a couple of questions:
1) Anyone had these cheap hardware store rings fail? They're welded and although I bought them a while ago if I remember right they were rated to 200# per ring. The descending rings are rated to over 3000#. I haven't had any problems with the steel rings...is it just a matter of time? Perhaps I should upgrade just based on the strength difference....
2) It seems like the steel rings being smaller diameter is what causes the adjustable knot at the rings to tighten to an extent that makes loosening take a bit longer than I'd like. The steel rings are roughly1 1/8" ID and 1 3/8" OD Maybe things don't tighten down as much with a ring that is larger in diameter (both overall and the thickness of the aluminum used)? I just measured and it looks like the thickness of the steel used is 5/32" or .156" and the rings I'm looking at (from www.whoopieslings.com) are listed as .3" thick. Anyone out there have any experience with comparing the ease of adjustability of these two types of rings?
"The more I live, the more I learn. The more I learn, the more I realize, the less I know." - Michel Legrand
I just went ahead and ordered the descender rings - they were cheap. They work much better. They hardly tighten down when pressure isn't being applied. They're definitely worth the $2.75 each.

Hi guys got a few questions. May have already been asked somewhere in the 92 pages but after reading the first 22 and the convo switched to which sewing machine to get I figured I'd just ask.
I just picked up a eno dn and want to use this setup. As of right now I got welded rings from ace hardware rated to 300lbs and am using the biners that came with the hammocks on the webbing at the tree end.
What does everyone think about this setup? I think the biners should hold and my girlfriend and I have both laid in the hammock together (our weight combined is a little over 300lbs).
Edit: I wanted to add I have had some problems with slippage but I thinking may be due to the straps having rulers printed on them but the problem was fixed by adding some slippery hitches.
I mentioned this in another thread,
Recently, I found a way of handling suspension that works great and costs less. Some people like the rings because it looks fashionable, but I make big hammocks so I like to minimize the weight when possible.
It's really simple; instead of attaching rings, place a knot at the end of the rope for ~ a 1.5" loop, then run the webbing through it and tie a slipknot.
There's no issue of trouble spreading apart the rings when the hammock is pulled tight, but there's a similar problem occasionally with the knot becoming too tight. From my experience, it's less of a problem than the tight ring suspension problem, and takedown is super-fast! If the knot becomes too tight, you can tie something heavy to the end of the webbing and yank the knot free, or even prevent the possibility by using a small branch as a toggle. Just make sure to tie the knot neatly.
When I find my thread, I will post some pictures and link to it from here.. This is honestly how I prefer my suspension, and it can problably be combined with whoopie slings if you skip tying a knot in the rope first.
It's amazing, a simple slipknot seems to work for me in just about every application.
Forgive me if this has been covered( I didn't read all 70+ pages).
Can I put rings on the biner of my ENO doublenest and run the webbing through them and cinch it down?
This eliminates the cord between hammock and rings. Will this work?
My hammock is in the mail, and I haven't picked up any rings yet, just seeing what I need to pick up before I hang it for the first time.
Or, could I use 2 biners as rings?

'I'm Listening' – 2019 FEATURED GUESTS
Help End the Stigma of Talking About Mental Health on Sun. Sept. 8 at 7 AM
On Sunday September 8, all Entercom radio stations across the country will mark the start of National Suicide Prevention Week with a special commercial-free broadcast of I'm Listening, a two-hour program dedicated to ending the stigma of talking about mental health.
At 7 AM local time on your favorite RADIO.COM station, you can call-in live and join artists, athletes, and medical professionals for an in-depth conversation about mental health and suicide prevention.
Mental health issues affect over 40-million Americans, with suicide being the second leading cause of death for people ages 10 to 34, regardless of race, religion, and sexual orientation.
Prior to Sunday's show, please SHARE YOUR STORY on how mental health or suicide has impacted your life. Select stories will be included in the broadcast.
Featured guests joining this year's show include:
2019 has been a breakout year for Lizzo, unleashing her empowering album, Cuz I Love You, and climbing the charts with anthems like "Truth Hurts" and "Juice." The singer has become a symbol for self-love, while still remaining honest about her own struggles with mental health.
Solomon Thomas
Solomon Thomas is a Defensive End for the San Francisco 49ers, drafted #3 overall in the 2017 NFL Draft. He has been very open about his battle with depression following the death of his sister, who took her own life in 2018. Solomon says that becoming an advocate for mental health has been part of his healing process.
Tegan and Sara
Twin rock star sisters from Canada, Tegan and Sara are on the verge of releasing their 9th studio album, Hey, I'm Just Like You on September 27. Through it all they have been fighting for the health and representation of girls and women in the LGBTQ community with their Tegan and Sara Foundation.
Dr. Christine Moutier
Dr. Moutier is the Chief Medical Officer of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, helping to raise awareness and provide resources for those affected by suicide. Throughout her career she has worked with healthcare leaders to change the approach to mental health, fighting stigma and providing proper care for those suffering from mental health conditions.
Shawn Mendes
Shawn Mendes is currently making his way across the country on tour, backed by the strength of his most recent self-titled album. The singer was nominated for a GRAMMY this year for his song, "In My Blood," which he wrote about his own fight with anxiety. He recently launched The Shawn Mendes Foundation, hoping to evoke positive change.
Halsey has been an advocate as long as she has been a star, sharing the story of her "constant battle" every step of the way towards a number one album. "Your experiences with mental health are a journey, not a destination," she has explained to RADIO.COM, always vocally supportive and strong on stage and off.
Disturbed released their seventh album, Evolution, in October. It includes the number one rock song, "A Reason To Fight," which has become an anthem of support for those battling addiction and mental health issues. It became the centerpiece of their Evolution Tour, as the band stopped each night for a message of hope, providing resources on how you can find the help you need. It is a call to arms and a hand extended to all those fighting their own demons.
Chris Hubbard
Chris Hubbard is an Offensive Tackle, currently playing with the Cleveland Browns. He has partnered with the National Alliance on Mental Illness, after going through his own struggles. He hopes to tear down the stigma that men, especially of color, must internalize their battles with anxiety rather than asking for help.
Lauren Jauregui
After years thrilling fans in Fifth Harmony, Lauren Jauregui is set to release her debut album in 2020. The early examples have been outstanding, and her fans can't wait to unwrap the whole thing. In the past year, not only has Jauregui detailed the ups and downs of her own anxiety and depression, but she has spoken to teens about the dangers of cyberbullying, hoping to make social media a place of inclusion.
Michael Ray
Country singer Michael Ray's star continues to rise, returning to the top ten yet again this year with, "One That Got Away." Ray has also dealt with debilitating anxiety throughout his career, recently opening up about his issues in hopes of inspiring others.
Blink-182 is just days away from the ninth studio album, NINE. The band is also currently touring the country and celebrating the 20th anniversary of their landmark album Enema Of The State. From the early days of "Adam's Song," the pop punk band has been outspoken about mental health, with frontman Mark Hoppus recently opening up about his own depression.
Korn is back with their new album The Nothing, arriving on September 13. The band has always been a beacon for those suffering, and frontman Jonathan Davis has been a loud advocate for mental health. It's a position that was tested and strengthened after the death of his estranged wife in 2018, who struggled with mental illness and addiction. Davis and the band continue to be very vocal about the importance of asking for help.
Judah & the Lion
In May, Judah & the Lion released their third album Pep Talks, tackling tough subjects like divorce and substance abuse. Frontman Judah Akers has been very candid about his own struggles with mental health, using music to tackle some of the tough issues in his own life.
In August, Skillet released their 10th studio album, the uplifting and hard-charging Victorious. Its title track of the same name was influenced by the untimely death of Chester Bennington, and Skillet's John Cooper spent time crafting poignant lyrics that would send a message of hope to anyone who may feel similar lows. Having never toured with Linkin Park, Skillet hopes this track will #MakeChesterProud.
James Arthur
British singer James Arthur has been an open advocate for mental health since his first days in the spotlight, regularly talking about his struggles with anxiety and panic attacks. The "Say You Won't Let Go" singer continues to share his story in hopes to inspire people to ask for the help they need.
Los Angeles rock band Badflower has had an instant impact, releasing their debut album, OK, I'M SICK, earlier this year. The band tackles issues of abuse, suicide, and mental health throughout their music, remaining open with their own experiences to fuel their art and the conversation.
Dr. Ursula Whiteside
Dr. Ursula Whiteside is a licensed clinical psychologist and the CEO of NowMattersNow.org, an organization that helps people through shared stories and mindfulness. Whiteside is a leading researcher, dealing with high-risk patients and working to develop programs to change how we approach mental health.

Admittedly the Daily Mail is not quite the New York Times for the quality of its reporting, but it was easy to believe that one of it's more contentious stories, published recently, was true.
Apparently one third of mothers have fallen out with someone over comments made about the way they raise their child or children, with one quarter getting the pip to such an extent they don't talk to former friends and family any more.
The study - conducted by so-called 'potty training experts, Pull-Ups' - was obviously meant to assure mothers (and fathers) that allowing their kids to wear nappies for a while and not be pressured into potty training too early was a good thing (and lucrative for the good people at Pull-Ups). But besides potty training, other issues that really got on the goats of (especially) mothers were things like the use of dummies, developmental milestones ('he should be eating/sleeping through the night/crawling by now') and comments about size.
Mothers-in-law were pointed out by the mums as causing offence with their well meaning advice.
It's true that when you are a mother there is no end of well meaning advice tossed your way. But I also think it is true that many mums are thin-skinned to the point of lunacy over anyone saying anything about their beloved loin fruit. As children get older, women that continue to have highly protective and over-correcting natures when anyone dares to say anything about their children actually do their kids a disservice. It's at the point that kids go on playdates and start socialising that children may be shunned because other parents don't want to deal with difficult mothers.
That's not to say comments should be given out willy-nilly. I recall a random mother and daughter making a huge song and dance about how small my son was when they walked past me feeding him in a park. "Oooh, he's small isn't he?" they whinnied. "My Amelia was never that small," said the younger. "No, he's really tiny!!" said the older, and on it went. They allowed that my son had a nice skin colour, but claimed their children had even better skin because they were half-Maori. They talked about Tahir and I like we were exhibits in the zoo. All through this I didn't know quite what to say, although I was thinking to myself I was so glad Ali wasn't there as he tends to take comments about the size of his children quite poorly.
After quite a bit of listening to the women's dissertation about how large and olive-skinned their own children were I was saved by the fact the father of this master race of children came by to collect the group. I was astonished to see he was about 5'5" - hardly the type that would be siring the 6'4" potential All Blacks I was being ear bashed about!
In short, a sense of humour is always necessary when parenting, and never more so then when child rearing becomes a competitive sport. As Emma Kenny of Pull-Ups tells the Daily Mail: "Parents shouldn't worry about off-the-cuff remarks as what is normal for one child might be completely different for another."
Hear hear!
How do you feel about giving out and receiving parenting tips? What sort of advice have you received? Have you ever phased out friends or family because of their advice?

Vintage Wooden Mirror - 372
Beautiful mirrors, handmade from reclaimed wood that add a majestic and bohemian flair to anywhere. The nature of the product tells a unique narrative that in turn creates an individual piece complete with colour variations, handsaw marks, nail holes, knots and even ancient insect trails. The origin of the wood in each piece is unknown, maybe a door from a palace or a piece of skirting from a disused factory, but one thing is for sure. The sense of history encapsulated in the frame ensures not only a practical addition to your home, but a characterful one mingled with a sprinkle of mystery and reflection. (See what we did there?)

An Evening with the Quaids
Where: Rio Theatre
When: Friday night
- - -
The party started on the street outside the Rio Theatre as the Starwhacker Dancers welcomed Randy Quaid and his wife, Evi, to an evening of media madness and cinematic strangeness. Among the many camerapeople present was Evi herself, busy documenting the freak show unfolding on Broadway at Commercial.
By the time the doors opened on Friday night, the line had doubled in length and scalpers were being shooed away. We were all there to take part in the latest sad chapter of the freak show that follows the Quaids wherever they go, with this evening's package including two screenings — Real Time, a feature film from Randy's recent past, and some portion of Star Whackers, Evi's documentary-in-progress about the evil Hollywood forces out to "whack" the couple.
As is exhaustively documented in a Vanity Fair article about the Quaids and their quest, the supposed assassins are the probable product of mental illness and/or drug abuse. Still, Vancouver loves a party and there was a long line at the bar even before the first screening.
To their credit, the Quaids donated their portion of the event's proceeds to the Canadian Council for Refugees. The couple is seeking refugee status in Canada for Randy, while Evi is able to claim Canadian citizenship. Real Time proved popular with the crowd.
This little indie effort filmed in Hamilton, Ont., featured Quaid as an Aussie hitman, and his solid, subtle performance was a reminder of the actor's ample talents.
Star Whackers, by contrast, is drugged-out dreck. Spouting Shakespeare as he stands in a full-length fur coat with penis hanging out, Quaid must compete with a howling wind. Falstaff he ain't, especially when the coat comes off and we're left to watch naked nuttiness signifying nothing.
Naturally, it gets even wackier. He's pursued by a hitman — appropriately, given the evening's previous offering, it's Quaid himself.
Mules mate. Our hero eats grass. Where'd that camel come from?
Later it's Hamlet's turn to be butchered. O, what a rogue and peasant slave am I, to find this whole pathetic exercise a bad waste of Good Friday.
But wait! The dreck is done at 11 p.m. and Randy takes to the stage, The big man in black starts rockin' with The Fugitives, calling out Mister DA Man and his loose way with the truth.
Cast in a blue light, Quaid next riffs a slow ballad in the style of Leonard Cohen, before launching into a blistering rendition of what is now his signature tune: Star Whackers.
The stage fills with pretty young women and at least one pretty spacey fan.
We love you, Vancouver!

JETS: Mark Sanchez gets the start in New York's preseason opener on Friday
CORTLAND, N.Y. >> Mark Sanchez is getting the first chance to start.
Locked in a tightly contested quarterback competition with rookie Geno Smith, Sanchez got the nod on Tuesday to be under center for the New York Jets in their preseason opener Friday night at Detroit.
"Certainly, he's the incumbent," coach Rex Ryan said of Sanchez. "The competition starts off and we'll see how it goes from here, but it seemed like the natural thing to do."
Offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg took it a step further, saying there was one clear factor in choosing Sanchez.
"The first thing is, he's earned it," he said. "He's had an outstanding training camp. The second thing is, he's been the starter here and the first game would typically be his, and he's earned it as well. Those things kind of go together."
Smith, the team's second-round pick, will also get some snaps with the first-team offense against the Lions, but Ryan and Mornhinweg hadn't determined exactly how the playing time would be distributed.
"Mark, this is his game," Mornhinweg said. "He'll start and go with the 1s and then we certainly would like to get Geno in just a little bit with the 1's and then he'll take the 2s and we'll progress from there."
Normally in preseason openers, starters rarely play more than two possessions. Both Ryan and Mornhinweg said there is a chance the starters could play a bit longer than usual, given the circumstances.
"We'll put our 1s out and we'll play it," Ryan said. "The preseason doesn't end after this first preseason game. We'll take it through as much as possible. We said this was going to be an equal competition, and it is going to be a competition and that's exactly what it is."
Sanchez, entering his fifth season, and Smith have been rotating practice days with the starters, usually switching up on every third day. Ryan had mentioned Monday that he could change up that rotation by having Smith work with the starters Tuesday, but instead kept Sanchez with the first-team offense.
"Really, we've been going every two days," Ryan said, "so we'll kind of stay with that same kind of rhythm and then both guys will play in the game."
For a second straight day, Sanchez was very solid. He was accurate, going 4 for 6 in team drills and zipping some long tosses to receivers in one-on-one drills.
Meanwhile, Smith threw his first interception this summer -- working with the second-team offense -- in 11-on-11 team drills, getting picked off by Ellis Lankster after going nine-plus practices, including the scrimmage, without one. He finished 2 of 5 in team drills.
"Geno had a terrific start to the camp," Mornhinweg said. "He has dipped just a little bit, and he has to recover. We'll see how he rebounds."
Ryan is eager to see how both Sanchez and Smith handle Detroit's pass rush, especially with protecting the football a major point of emphasis this summer.
"That'll be a good test," Ryan said. "No question about it."

Here are backgrounds of this document.
The Linux system is a very powerful computing platform for a networked computer. However, learning how to use all its capabilities is not easy. Setting up the LPR printer with non-PostScript printer was a good example of stumble points. (There are no issues anymore since newer installations use new CUPS system.)
There is a complete, detailed map called the "SOURCE CODE". This is very accurate but very hard to understand. There are also references called HOWTO and mini-HOWTO. They are easier to understand but tend to give too much detail and lose the big picture. I sometimes have a problem finding the right section in a long HOWTO when I need a few commands to invoke.
I hope this "Debian Reference (version 2)" provides a good starting direction for people in the Debian maze.
Debian Reference was initiated by Osamu Aoki <osamu at debian dot org> as a personal system administration memo. Many contents came from the knowledge I gained from the debian-user mailing list and other Debian resources.
Following a suggestion from Josip Rodin, who was very active with the Debian Documentation Project (DDP), "Debian Reference (version 1, 2001-2007)" was created as a part of DDP documents.
After 6 years, Osamu realized that the original "Debian Reference (version 1)" was outdated and started to rewrite many contents. New "Debian Reference (version 2)" is released in 2008.
The tutorial contents can trace its origin and its inspiration in followings.
"Linux User's Guide" by Larry Greenfield (December 1996)
obsoleted by "Debian Tutorial"
"Debian Tutorial" by Havoc Pennington. (11 December, 1998)
partially written by Oliver Elphick, Ole Tetlie, James Treacy, Craig Sawyer, and Ivan E. Moore II
obsoleted by "Debian GNU/Linux: Guide to Installation and Usage"
"Debian GNU/Linux: Guide to Installation and Usage" by John Goerzen and Ossama Othman (1999)
obsoleted by "Debian Reference (version 1)"
The package and archive description can trace some of their origin and their inspiration in following.
"Debian FAQ" (March 2002 version, when this was maintained by Josip Rodin)
The other contents can trace some of their origin and their inspiration in following.
"Debian Reference (version 1)" by Osamu Aoki (2001–2007)
obsoleted by this new "Debian Reference (version 2)"
The previous "Debian Reference (version 1)" was created with many contributors.
the major contents contribution on network configuration topics by Thomas Hood
significant contents contribution on X and VCS related topics by Brian Nelson
the help on the build scripts and many content corrections by Jens Seidel
extensive proofreading by David Sewell
many contributions by the translators, contributors, and bug reporters
Many manual pages and info pages on the Debian system were used as the primary references to write this document. To the extent Osamu Aoki considered within the fair use, many parts of them, especially command definitions, were used as phrase pieces after careful editorial efforts to fit them into the style and the objective of this document.
The gdb debugger description was expanded using Debian wiki contents on backtrace with consent by Ari Pollak, Loïc Minier, and Dafydd Harries.
Contents of "Debian Reference (version 2)" are mostly my own work except as mentioned above. These has been updated by the contributors too.
The author, Osamu Aoki, thanks all those who helped make this document possible.
The source of the English original document is currently written in AsciiDoc text files. AsciiDoc is used as convenience only since it is less typing than straight XML and supports table in the very intuitive format. You should think XML and PO files as real source files. Via build script, it is converted to DocBook XML format and automatically generated data are inserted to form a final Docbook XML source. This final Docbook XML source can be converted to HTML, plain text, PostScript, and PDF. Currently, only HTML and plain text conversions are enabled.

HWT American Chromatic from Hamilton Wood Type Foundry
Vote for a winner this Election Day — HWT American Chromatic, a set of digital wood type layer fonts made for mixing and matching. And, please welcome the Hamilton Wood Type Foundry to Typekit. Read more about this joint venture between P22 Type Foundry and the Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum.
All seven styles of HWT American Chromatic – Solid, Inset, Outline, Stars, Stars Top, Stars Bottom, and the composite Chromatic – were meant for display use, so we serve them with PostScript-based outlines for smooth Windows rendering. Use these fonts big.
In his SxSW talk last year, Typekit engineer Sean McBride demonstrated an easy, semantic technique for layering web fonts — jQuery and a few lines of JavaScript keep the markup clean and the CSS simple. Here's how it works.
First, we'll mark up some text and give it a class name of "chroma."
$('.chroma').each(function() { $(this).attr('data-content', $(this).text()); });
Then we'll apply the JavaScript from Sean, that dynamically adds a
data-content attribute to any element with the chroma class. For the attribute value, it uses each element's text content.
.chroma:before, .chroma:after { content: attr(data-content); display: block; width: 100%; }
And in our CSS, we'll use the element's JS-generated data-content attribute value as content for
:before and
:after pseudo elements.
Next, we'll add some basic styles, using HWT American Outline as a base, and the Solid and Stars Bottom styles for our pseudo elements:
.vote2 { font-family: "hwt-american-outline", Georgia, serif; color: @gray; } .vote2:before { font-family: "hwt-american-solid", Georgia, serif; color: @red; } .vote2:after { font-family: "hwt-american-stars-bottom", Georgia, serif; text-shadow: -1px -1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.1); color: @red+#555; }
Here, I'm using LESS variables for color and I have applied a subtle text shadow to the stars, so they'll appear to be pressed into the solid style when we stack the layers.
.chroma { position: relative; } .chroma:before, .chroma:after { content: attr(data-content); display: block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; }
Finally, we'll position the pseudo elements absolutely, aligned atop the original (relatively positioned) element. That way, all three styles of HWT American Chromatic overlap.
Study our demo page to see the finished result in action, and to explore a few other ways we've mixed and matched styles of HWT American Chromatic. Then try it for yourself. This week, our demo is on CodePen too — you can explore, edit, and fork it.
Upgrade to a Personal plan or higher to use these fonts. If you're already a paying Typekit customer, well, enjoy the new fonts! If you've never given Typekit a try, sign up (it's free!) and upgrade to a paid plan whenever you're ready.
