And some people still haven't recovered from the great guitarist/vocalist's tragically early passing in a van accident on Dec. 22, 1985. Boon's death at age 27 ended Minutemen's reign as one of the American underground's most important and exciting bands.
At their best (Double Nickels on the Dime, What Makes a Man Start Fires?), Minutemen sounded like a fearless, fearsome union of the Pop Group and Captain Beefheart's Magic Band—all highly torqued rhythms, rusty, stabbing guitar, spazz-jazz bass, and ruggedly poetic lyrics. Both live and on record, they were a punk-funk tornado of brilliance. I was lucky enough to catch Minutemen live in '85 at a Detroit club called Traxx (Laughing Hyenas and Die Kreuzen opened). D. Boon was a whirlwind of energy; he moved with surprising agility for a chubby dude. His early exit has been a huge blow to American music. RIP, D. Boon.

Letter: Coming up short
Dr. Bob Bachand, Estero
Coming up short
How could a potential commander in chief, who has done everything possible to not sacrifice some of his wealth by paying a more fair share of taxes, ask a great deal more of our men in arms? There would be times that he would ask them to potentially sacrifice their lives for this nation.
Mitt Romney, with his overseas tax havens, seems to be more committed to himself than to the nation.
As a candidate for the presidency, he does not exemplify the words of President John F. Kennedy: "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country."

Not really, most Windows password recovery requires a boot disk, unless the main admin account is not password protected. Try accessing it by pressing f8 during boot and entering safe mode.

I've been using this product since I was 18 years old, I'm now 53, and can no longer find this hairspray in any of my local retailers. Can anyone tell me where I can find Final Net? I'm alergic to almost everything, but Final Net seems to not effect me in this way.

Originally written on The Hockey Guys | Last updated 11/19/14
By Christopher Decker (@HockeyGuy_Chris) It's been over two years since the New York Rangers went on a six-game winning streak. In fact, the 2009-2010 season saw them win seven in a row. And according to Larry Brooks, this is only the sixth time in the past 17 seasons that the Rangers have put together a six-game winning streak. It's still very early in the season and it's easy to get excited about their winning ways. But one thing is certain: the Rangers are beginning to click. The season started out slow. Very slow. Some attributed the Rangers' sluggishness to the abundant amount of travel; some felt the injury bug got the best of them; and some simply thought the team had lacked even the slightest bit of identity to maintain any kind of success. Well, amidst this current winning streak, the Rangers have basically shut up all of their critics sitting just two points away from the top of the Eastern Conference at 9-3-3. This winning streak has brought out many positives with this R...

C. diff Present on 24% of Healthcare Workers' Hands After DisinfectingTwenty-four percent of healthcare workers carried spores of Clostridium difficile on their hands even after following proper hand hygiene protocol after patient contact, according to a study published in Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology. In the controlled study, healthcare workers followed four infection control measures when coming into contact with patients with C. diff. They placed patients in single rooms, wore disposable floor-length, long sleeved gowns and gloves, followed hand hygiene practices before putting on gloves and after removing gloves, and cleaned patient rooms daily with hypochlorite-based disinfectant. Zero percent of healthcare workers who did not come into contact with C. diff patients had spores on their hands. Researchers suggest more information is needed to understand C. diff transmission to better implement additional antimicrobial stewardship efforts.

The Cheese Lady cheese shop opens in downtown Farmington
Thursday, November 13, 2014
It started after a couple found a cheese store they loved in Grand Rapids. After it became a regular stop during their visits to the city, they decided they wanted to bring The Cheese Lady to metro Detroit.
At first it didn't look like it was going to happen, says Joe Mantey, co-owner of The Cheese Lady that's opening today in downtown Farmington at 33041 Grand River Avenue.
The business owners, who had started the first of three stores in Muskegon many years ago, were ready to put the cheese slicer down and cut out a life as retirees.
"But after they heard about my involvement with Farmington Main Street and downtown re-development, they decided to do one more store," says Mantey.
"They had opened their store in Muskegon for the same reason we want to: to help bring the downtown back," says Mantey.
The Cheese Lady's founders came to town, saw that there were vacancies to be filled in downtown Farmington, and said OK to a franchise.
In the meantime, Mantey, his wife Kendra, and family and friends began marketing the business that's known in western Michigan by selling at the Farmington farmers market, which is across the street from the new shop.
The new store will open with 70 varieties of cheese, with samples set out on stainless steel work tables. Eventually 150 varieties will be sold as well. Wheels of cheese can be pulled from the shelves while a cheesemonger "will directly interact with customers," Mantey says.
"There are no deli cases between the customers and the cheesemonger," he says. "And no one has to be embarrassed about asking to sample, it's all out."
Eventually The Cheese Lady in Farmington plans to sell Michigan craft beer and wines that pair well with cheese. Crackers, preserves, and cutting boards are also for sale, most made in Detroit or Michigan.

Downtown Dearborn says hello to free parking
Thursday, November 06, 2014
The city of Dearborn is testing the common thinking that paid parking deters business.
Starting in early 2015, user-paid parking systems in public lots and parking decks will be phased out and replaced with free time-limited parking spaces.
New spaces will be designated for 2-, 3-, 8- or 12-hour timeframes, and vehicles exceeding those time frames will be ticketed. Parking spots closest to businesses will have the most limited times to encourage turnover. Employees in the west downtown district can use longer timed spots.
The same system will eventually spread to east downtown Dearborn.
Mayor John B. O'Reilly Jr. and a city parking commission proposed the change and the city council approved it nearly two weeks ago to "encourage greater interest from real estate developers and to boost customer activity." and also to "address the perception that paid parking is an obstacle to redevelopment."
"This is a very positive step that will help us achieve our goal of promoting more investment and activity in the west downtown," O'Reilly says. "To get the best results for our local economy, we need to be realistic and remove anything that is perceived as an impediment to recreating a robust and vibrant business district."

House-made, small-batch brews on tap at Farmington Brewing Co.
Thursday, November 06, 2014
The fermenters are fermenting and the taps that will serve what the owners jokingly refer to as happiness are in and operating at the soon-to-open
Farmington Brewing Company.
Opening day, however, comes Nov. 15, after renovations to the 1,600-square-foot space at 33336 Grand River in downtown Farmington are complete.
The bar arrived recently. Not long after, the taps were installed. Several suds varieties, IPAs, Blood Orange Wheat and Raspberry Stout among them, are brewing.
The owners, Jason Schlaff, Jason Hendricks and partner Gary Schlaff, plan to open in mid-November, several weeks behind schedule, but with beer the former home brewers expect to be proud to serve.
Schlaff and Hendricks are environmental engineers and chemists and hobby brewers who decided to combine their knowledge of chemistry and beer into a business.
The brewery will not serve food, but is working with local Farmington restaurants on delivery service agreements.

Six businesses open in Grosse Pointe's Village
Thursday, November 06, 2014
At least six new businesses opened in October in and around Grosse Pointe's downtown Village district.
All replaced vacant shops or filled in available office space and are mixing up the variety of businesses in the three-block retail area that often was the butt of jokes for its overabundance of coffee and bagel shops.
New businesses along Kercheval Avenue and on St. Clair, just off of the main street that runs through the Village, include:
* Shoe Tree, a women's shoe and accessories store. 17121 Kercheval Ave.
* Massage Green, the first Grosse Pointe franchise of the national brand built on affordable massage and spa services. 664 St. Clair

Oakland U building first fire science lab in Midwest
Thursday, October 30, 2014
Oakland University wants to build the first fire-science lab in the Midwest.
Manufacturers have already donated $275,000 of equipment that would go into the Fire Science Lab, which would be a classroom for OU's Occupational Safety & Health students, a training site for employees who work in fire and safety for private manufacturers, the government and a range of workplaces. It would also be a field-trip site for companies wanting to prepare their employees for fire emergencies.
Inside the lab, real fires can be set, sustained and extinguished for an up-close understanding and analysis of the operation and effectiveness of fire suppression equipment, devices and systems.
Fire code enforcement agencies, government agencies, safety consulting firms, insurance companies and a multitude of manufacturers large and small can use the laboratory to provide training, demonstrations and certifications.
While donations for equipment have been given, there is still a need for donations to build the lab, and OU is looking for sponsors. Once the construction costs are covered, the lab could be operational within four to six weeks, says Dr. Charles McGlothlin, special instructor and director of
OU's Occupational Safety and Health program.
For more information on sponsorships, click
The lab would be the first of its kind in the Midwest and one of about a dozen nationwide, he says.
"The addition of the new Fire Safety Laboratory will give our graduates the advantage of experiencing first-hand the capabilities of various fire suppression systems and devices," he says.The training will also lead them to jobs that are in short supply in the fire safety industry.
"Today's safety professionals play an essential role helping companies maintain profitability while ensuring safe, healthy workplaces and environments," he says. "We are driven to continuously improve, keeping pace with ever-changing needs of the market -- the future industries and employers of our graduates," McGlothlin says. "The Fire Safety Laboratory is a tremendous resource which we intend to put to use to benefit the greater community, state and region."

Caffe Far Bella moves, doubles space in St. Clair Shores
Thursday, October 30, 2014
Caffe Far Bella
, a mom-and-pop run coffee shop and cafe that is consistently packed for breakfast and lunch, is making a move to a bigger spot in St. Clair Shores.
The new location at Mack Avenue near 10 Mile is only 185 steps away from the current cafe. The new space along a busy retail road is twice the size of the old cafe, which was voted best coffee shop four years in a row in WDIV's Best Of Detroit polls.
While it may be known more widely for its coffee, the five-year-old cafe has customers lining up daily for fresh baked goods, changing soups, panini, salads and Italian sodas.
While the restaurant will be bigger, the owners, who pride themselves on great food and on their relationship with customers, will maintain the cozy, personal feel of the space that they say is like a home away from home. The new location will open by mid-November.

New Kahve House brewing coffee in downtown Clawson
Thursday, October 30, 2014
A stay-at-home mom is running a coffee shop in downtown Clawson that has locals celebrating it half-jokingly as a long-awaited alternative to 7-11.
Kahve House
opened over the weekend at 22 South Main Street and has been serving a steady flow of customers since. It is filing the void in businesses that offer fresh roasted beans, specialty coffee drinks, straight quality java and various noshes. A recent enticement: Turkish coffee with baklava.
Ana and Denis Bureau own the shop and wanted to combine their love of good coffee and their hometown of Clawson by starting a business downtown.
They opened during the Great Pubkin Crawl over the weekend, an event of the
Clawson Downtown Development Authority
, and saw just how much interest there is in a business like theirs.

City Bark in Grosse Pointe wants to be farmer's market of pet stores
Thursday, October 23, 2014
Jamie Judson has tapped into her love of animals and her hometown of Grosse Pointe by opening a new pet store in the Village shopping district on Kercheval Avenue.
City Bark
opened Oct. 10 at 17027 Kercheval in a 1,600-square-foot space advertised with a stylized metallic sign that is easily one of the most creative and eye-catching in the area.
Judson says the best way to describe her vision for City Bark is a farmer's market of pet shops, where the selection is always fresh and changing. It is the opposite of big chains and more comfortable than high-end boutiques.
"The difference between City Bark and other pet stores is comparing the situation to a grocery store and a farmer's market. You go to the grocery store, list in hand, knowing what you're going to buy. You know what products are there and where to find them. It's the same thing with a generic pet store. You are going there for something specific. But when you go to a farmer's market, you go to explore. You go because the items are always changing. It's about the experience, and that's exactly what we aim for with City Bark."
Judson, 25, works full-time for a digital marketing company in Ferndale and part-time at the store, which also supports the Grosse Pointe Animal Adoption Society. Judson volunteers there and is fostering a St. Bernard mix. She also owns a German shepherd and a 24-year-old cockatoo that she adopted in the summer. The dogs and the bird, Cleo, are regulars at the store, and shoppers are invited to bring their pets along.
City Bark sells accessories for pets and pet lovers: collars, leashes, toys, fashion accessories, and home décor. Pet food and pet treats are also sold, as are pet beds and clothing for people.
"All of our products are unique, and the majority of them cannot be found at any big-box pet store," Judson says. "I had always talked about opening up a pet boutique with my family since I love animals so much and I am always looking for new, fun items for my dogs. This summer the pieces fell into place and we moved forward with City Bark."
Having a shop in the Village makes becoming a business owner all the more sweet.
"Just like most Grosse Pointers, the Village is part of my every day life. It's great to be able to bring something I'm so passionate about to a place I have such fond memories of."

Friendship Factory's blend of social good and retail comes to Rochester
Thursday, October 23, 2014
The Friendship Factory has added a second store in downtown Rochester, expanding from its Clinton Township location where crafting, parties and lessons in kindness have combined into a good business idea.
The newest
Friendship Factory
brought its bracelet makers, beads, stickers lanyards, and oodles of craft supplies to the former Avon Township Library at 210 West University in downtown Rochester. The crafts combine with the owners' wish to help girls weather storms of friendship and socializing.
Both stores, the one at Partridge Creek shopping center in Clinton Township, and the new one host birthday parties, Moms Night Out events, painting parties, holiday gatherings and have rotating themes such as the current Michigan-Michigan State rivalry.
Whether dropping in to craft or there for a party, the point of the interactive studio is to "connect friends and family and build friendships."
It also offers friendship-building workshops hosted by a licensed therapist. The owners want its target market, 8- to 14-year-old girls, to understand how relationships change and how to manage change with social skills that emphasize support and kindness.

Warp 9 comics enters phase 2 with renovated shop in downtown Clawson
Thursday, October 23, 2014
Warp 9 Comics and Collectibles
has built a loyal customer following after 15 years in business, and now with a new owner and a renovated space it's time to put down the next panel in Warp 9's story.
The new owner, Trey Hunt, hosted a grand opening party Oct. 18. The store is located at 21 W. 14 Mile Road in downtown Clawson and attracts customers from across metro Detroit.
Comic book artists, costumes and comic idol cookies were part of the grand opening party. The store sells toys as well and also is an eBay dealer.
Besides painting, cleaning and re-organizing the store, where Hunt worked before buying it from the previous owner, the plan is to make Warp 9 a family-friendly shop and destination for comic art.

DIY drives Adore Eclectic Interiors home consignment store
Thursday, October 16, 2014
An interior decorator who made a business out of re-using what's already in clients' homes and complementing it with affordable accessories has opened her own home consignment store in Grosse Pointe Woods.
Marleen Prater, owner of Remixed Rooms, decided to go into retail after a decade as an interior decorator and striking out too often on quality, affordable home goods stores.
Adore Eclectic Interiors
opened Monday at 20725 Mack Avenue in Grosse Pointe Woods, and "we had a very good opening day. Things are flying out the door," says Prater.
Besides selling home furnishings and accessories from the shop, she staffs painters, furniture re-purposers to change or customize pieces and experienced designers to lead classes for customers who want to make the changes themselves.
"Number one, we want very unique, cool pieces," she says. "So many times people are re-decorating or moving and things just don't fit. We are here for them when they need a place for those nice things, and we're here for customers who need that special piece or that new arrangement that can change the look and feel of their home. Number two, we want it to be very affordable."
She and the women she works with envision Adore as a place to get advice, talk about their homes, what's good and what's bad about them, how they can make their homes what they want them to be, and to learn how to make the changes they want.
"We see it as an experience. We have fresh coffee, homemade cookies and lots to talk about," says Prater.

Joe's Hamburgers moves to larger space in downtown Wyandotte
Thursday, October 16, 2014
An entrepreneur's dream to open a hamburger joint like the one his grandfather took him to as a child is now a thriving business in Wyandotte.
Jeremy Sladovnik's Joe's Hamburgers opened five years ago in a tight spot on Elm Street, just off downtown Wyandotte's main drag. Several weeks ago, Joe's moved to the main street, Biddle Avenue, and took on a larger spot and added a bar.
His old spot was reborn as The Little Pierogi and Crepe Kitchen and is run by one of his former employees.
The new Joe's Hamburger at 3041 Biddle Avenue is double the size of the old place, and has rich wood booths instead of tables and chairs. It also has a bar and is making community events a bigger part of the business plan. It still serves a simple menu of sliders, poutine, pierogi, grilled cheeses, soups and milkshakes, malts and sundaes.
This week a Saturday brunch is planned as is a craft beer party with Shorts Brewing out of Bellaire, Michigan.

Spice Merchants brings world flavors to downtown Northville shop
Thursday, October 16, 2014
A downtown Northville storefront is now home to a purveyor of spices, teas and oils from around the world
Spice Merchants of Northville
opened about a month ago at 110 N. Center St. after completing renovations of the shop that is part of a 100-year old building. It's the latest franchise of the Saugatuck-based company that started in 2003 and has 17 stores in eight states, eight of them in Michigan.
The shop has a spice for every occasion. Football games? Spices for chili. Halloween? Pumpkin spices. Healthy dinner idea? Roasted vegetables with rosemary olive oil.
Spice Merchants of Northville is lined with stacked-high canisters of fresh teas and spices. Another part of the store is stocked with stainless steel dispensers filled with flavored and unflavored olive oils.
Spices are imported and also made by the owners, Chris and Christine Raymond, as are hot sauces. The shop, like other specialty food stores, thrives on browsing, sampling and educating about how to cook with the ingredients or use them for health benefits.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Looking around on the internets, I found this very nice multi-specimen sheet of Olivetti logo designs by Walter Ballmer, and was curious if any of these were derived from a Ballmer typeface, or were they all just custom logotypes?
Since the reliable and exhaustive Klingspor online type museum has no listing of Ballmer typefaces, I should think the latter applies...

Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain has called it a "gimmick," and Democrats complain that larding up the separate war funding bill with extra spending amounts to an "abusive loophole." Yet so far, the massive increase is likely to remain in this year's budget.
Another major criticism of the process has been its common use to fund favored projects and other items not directly tied to the war — a trend that has steadily grown over the years as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan dragged on and the Pentagon loosened the definition of war-related spending.
From 2001 to 2014, nearly $71 billion of nonwar funding was provided through war appropriations, according to the Pentagon's own definition, the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service reported in December.
– From the Politico article: War Budget Might be Permanent 'Slush Fund'
Many people will read this post, and posts like it, and shrug their shoulders saying that there's always going to be corruption. True; however, there are degrees of corruption. When empires such as the U.S. attain a certain level of corruption that reaches the point where it becomes engrained within the fabric of society, and you couple that with zero accountability for the super rich and powerful, you have the ingredients for societal collapse. We are rapidly approaching this point, and I personally don't think there's any way to stop it.

Barbecue Cookbook
What was the Best Cookbook you ever purchased/borrowed and why?
Mine was "The Cook's Illustrated Guide To Grilling And Barbecue: A Practical Guide for the Outdoor Cook". I grilled the BEST steak using their instructions. I checked it out from the local library but I plan on purchasing it later.
I didn't know how to cook at all when I started my new career as a stay-at-home mom. I had to learn fast, and so I watched as much of Alton Brown's Good Eats as I could. I also bought his book (well, all three of them). While they may not be fancy gourmet foods, they have all been tasty recipes, and they are reliable and straightforward.
I like that he explains how to use different tools and different methods for cooking and baking. Knowing the reasons that he included certain ingredients or steps makes it much easier to substitute or modify a recipe, and I love that he includes a list of the needed "hardware" such as a cooling rack, stand mixer, or non-metallic mixing bowl for a recipe. Having the books around makes me much more confident in the kitchen and I have learned so much from them.

26 Tmj/masseter Muscle Problems - Wyomissing, PA
Procedure was done by Dr. Schlecter himself. He's actually an easy person to talk and doesn't talk to you like your half-retarded (like most doctors). I believe that this is part of what separates him. Most doctors either a) don't want to hear your questions, comments and concerns b) don't listen because they don't think you know what you're talking about anyway or c) think that they know the answer to your question before you even finish asking it/explaining yourself and you get a response which isn't necessarily appropriate/tailored for you. Now, while I realize that online forums such as realself and webmd are not the equivalents of medical school and clinical experience, More doctors should take a note from Dr. Schlecter and realize that reasonably intelligent people have probably gone onto the internet and done research bout their condition and, very likely, have something relevant/contributing to say about the treatment they are seeking.

Nearing the End of the Battle-16 weeks/pics
I wanted to wait until I was a week out to write this review and as I thought would be the case Dr. Schlechter and his whole staff continue to provide the best plastic surgery service in Berks County. This was a huge operation, and a rough one physically, after losing 150 pounds I was left with terrible hanging skin, Dr. Schlechter did beautiful work on me. The recovery has been tough on me, and no matter when I call his office someone calls me back and talks me through whatever problem I am having and calms me down, Dr. Schlechter will see me whenever I need him and he does such perfect work there is never a problem with incisions opening or infections or anything like that. I cant say enough good things about him and his whole staff that know you by name and want to make sure you receive the highest standards of care. His post op nurse with me was an angel I was so scared and she was so calming, he has a beautiful OR suite which is so much nicer than a hospital setting. We are lucky to have such a skilled surgeon in Berks County. I never considered anyone else but I know I will be counting on Dr. Schlechter to continue to fix up the mess that resulted from all the hard work I did on the weight loss.

Great Doctor - Wyomissing, PA
Love Dr. Schlechter and staff, all take the time to see you, keep you informed and make you feel confident to move ahead! This was a hard decision for me to make, and I am so glad it did, it showed me how something can change your life and make you feel so much better about yourself. They healed in time for me to have a lovely wedding.

Botox - Pennsylvania
He offers tons of other services that are very cheap compared to other doctors. Service and product is not cheap. It is just the doctor knows the lower he can make the price the more patients he will have. Take a provider that charges $500 for one area. He might only see 10 patients a day due to the cost. That is $5k. My doctor might see 30 patients and charge the $325. That is $9750. Sure he saw more patients and spent more time but it took him 10 mins to do mine. The point is if doctors would lower their price cuz face it all the face products are cheap when you buy them from the drug companies and in bulk when you are a provider. It is the time the doctor is charging your for. Much like a mechanic. The part to fix your car is $25 but he charges $225 cuz it took him an hour and a half to fix. Doctors are charging you the labor fee and thus the reason things cost more. So I say research and find a good quality doctor who has rock bottom prices and save yourself some cash. Dr. S is great and the Spa at Spring Ridge, fantastic. My old Derm charged $500 for laser for my Rosecea full face. Spa charges $400 full face and has an updated laser. My old Derm, older laser which is more painful and charges $100 more. No thanks.

Dog rescued from Menlo Park house fire

Yeah...firefighters saved the dog from the second story of the home. Ummm...I was there and the dog was extricated from the back yard through the side gate and the firefighters had not even arrived yet. I also don't recall seeing the dog being given any sort of oxygen or water since the dog had already been handed off to a neighbor and she took it to another home for safekeeping. Maybe there was another chocolate lab in the house? I dunno. Good journalism. Anyway, feel very bad for the owner's loss.

Thank God the dog is safe (however it got out!) How terrible for the family, but the further loss of a family member (as pets indeed are) would have been even more devastating.
