2013 UCI Cyclocross World Championships in Louisville

The Bearded One and I made our way to Louisville, Kentucky this weekend for a (potentially) once-in-a-lifetime event: the annual UCI Cyclocross World Championships were held in the U.S. for the first time in its storied 64-year history. We certainly didn’t want to miss the chance to see this race hosted on our stomping grounds, so we joined 10,000 folks from all over the world at Eva Bandman Park. Belgian-like weather conditions in the form of snow, mud and even some flooding from the nearby Ohio River added extra challenges to the course. It was a true privilege to watch Marianne Vos and Sven Nys win the overall titles in their categories and be a part of the crowds of crazy fans heckling and cheering on all of the racers as they slogged through the elements. We had an amazing time and even had the honor of meeting many of the racers at the after party. TBO spoke with Sven Nys, one of his cycling heroes, about when he was going to retire. “Maybe in two years…or five,” he said with a smile.

This is most likely a TimThumb permissions error.

Go to the Justified Image Grid settings, TimThumb & CDN tab. Click check permissions then click 0755 or 0777 to see if that works (or do it manually on the files and folders it lists there in case chmod fails).

Also read the troubleshooting guide in the documentation on what else to do.

Tip: Install the official WP plugin 'Jetpack' by Automattic and enable 'Photon'. Jetpack enables you to connect your blog to a WordPress.com account to use the powerful features normally only available to WordPress.com users. It's an excellent TimThumb alternative and will make your images load faster. Note that you won't be able to use special effects due to cross-domain security limitations. It'll also make Justified Image Grid high resolution display or Retina ready by devicepx.js! Read more at: jetpack.me

Another possibility is that you are using W3 Total Cache to minify JS - turn that feature off.
