Marquette is a city located in the northwest corner of McPherson County, Kansas, United States, between K-4 and the Smoky Hill River. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 641.[6]
For millennia, the land now known as Kansas was inhabited by Native Americans. In 1803, most of modern Kansas was secured by the United States as part of the Louisiana Purchase. In 1854, the Kansas Territory was organized, then in 1861 Kansas became the 34th U.S. state. In 1867, McPherson County was founded.
The city was settled by Swedish immigrants and chartered on February 9, 1874.[7] It was named after Marquette, Michigan.[8]
Marquette was located on the Missouri Pacific Railroad.[9]
Marquette is located at 38°33′14″N 97°50′00″W / 38.553824°N 97.833275°W (38.553824, -97.833275),[10] at an elevation of 1385 feet (422 m), in the Smoky Hills region of Kansas. The area is highlighted by outcrops of Cretaceous-era sandstone known as the Dakota Formation. The seas dating back to that era left hills and buttes which rising sharply about the surrounding plains. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.44 square miles (1.14 km2), all of it land.[1]
The climate in this area is characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters. According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Marquette has a humid subtropical climate, abbreviated "Cfa" on climate maps.[11]
|Historical population
|U.S. Decennial Census
In May 2003, facing a declining population, Marquette joined at least ten other Kansas cities, including Ellsworth, Kanopolis, Holyrood and Wilson, who offer free land to attract residents. Fifty acres (200,000 m²) of what used to be farmland were developed, furnished with paved streets, water, electric, sewer and gas hookups. In less than one year, twenty-one of the ⅓ acre (1,300 m²) lots created for this purpose were claimed. The program requires the landowners to build a house on the lot within a year, and live in that house for a year.[citation needed]
2010 census[edit]
As of the census[2] of 2010, there were 641 people, 272 households, and 162 families residing in the city. The population density was 1,456.8 inhabitants per square mile (562.5/km2).

As of 2000 the median income for a household in the city was $35,938, and the median income for a family was $44,531. Males had a median income of $30,000 versus $20,208 for females.

Marquette is a town that is offering parcels of residential land for free on the condition that the recipient build a home within a specified deadline.[14] In the few years since the program's inception, it has attracted an influx of new residents from who have decided to take advantage of the program and enjoy small-town living.[15]
The downtown has a block of late 19th century stores that have been restored and repainted to their original colors. They are part of the Washington Street Historic District, a state historic site.[16]
Nearby is the Hanson-Lindfors home, a sixteen-room Victorian style house built in 1888. It is named after Hans Hanson, one of the city founders, and has been restored to its original appearance and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Located in the backyard of the home is Hanson's original 1871 wood frame cabin, where the city charter was signed.[17]
The downtown area includes the Range School Museum, a one-room 1906 schoolhouse moved there about eighty years later. Each spring and fall, local school children use it for a half day of class.[18]
The Kansas Motorcycle Museum is located downtown on North Washington Street. It was founded in 2004 by National Racing Champion, "Stan the Man" Engdahl, a native of Marquette.[19]
Ten miles away is Kanopolis State Park, the first state park of Kansas. The park, completed in 1948, includes more than 22,000 acres (89 km2) of rolling hills, bluffs and woods and a 3,000 acres (12 km2) lake, offering hunting, fishing, over 25 miles (40 km) of trails, and other recreational activities. Game includes pheasant, quail, prairie chickens, deer, beaver, turkey, squirrels, rabbits, coyotes and waterfowl; fishing for white bass and crappie is popular.

7 Hot Fall Wedding Trends To Steal Right Now
This season, it's all about woodland motifs, green garlands, creatively displayed comfort foods and tons of metallic accents (even on cakes!).
1 of 7
Fall Color Trend: Jewel Tones & Earthy ShadesSaturated jewel tones layered with earthy shades create a color-rich palette. Mix colors like emerald green with darker green shades inspired by nature. Or even combine several rich colors, like foliage-inspired oranges and reds with a deep purple.
Also big?
Summer's cheerful pink has transitioned into almost-red magenta, which pairs well with other jewel tones or by itself with neutral-yet-warm ivory.
2 of 7
Fall Flower Trend: Big BloomsBig bloom flowers, including dahlias and peonies, are making a statement in bold colors like deep orange and fuchsia. Instead of wispy and whimsical arrangements, fall florals will focus on larger flowers, with a supporting cast of celiosa, lily of the valley and scabiosa pods.
Also big?
Mixing budding flowers with wide-open blooms as well as nonfloral elements like feathers and even wheat or barley stalks adds texture and depth to bouquets and centerpieces.
3 of 7
Fall Invitation Trend: Woodland MotifsAcorns, ferns, leaves, garland and wood grain are making a seasonal statement on invitations while also embracing the fall motif. Carry this theme through onto escort and menu cards as well as welcome bags for a cohesive look.
Also big?
Gold and silver foil stamping combined with letterpress for custom-looking fonts.
4 of 7
Fall Reception Trend: Seasonal Fruit & GreensThis year, wedding receptions are focusing on greenery like garland chair swags and moss table runners. Décor including mixed seasonal fruits and veggies like persimmons, figs, kale and even artichokes put a twist on the traditional harvest theme. Hanging décor, like a non-traditional chandelier and even ribbon create a focal point above your reception and even warm up a big, open space.
Also big?
Soft candle lighting created with tons of votives in mercury glass or burnished gold and bronze holders. Speakeasy inspired single liquor bars like a brandy or tequila bar add a personalized favorite to cocktail hour. Drinks served in vintage barware like champagne saucers instead of flutes.
5 of 7
Fall Cake Trend: Buttercream & Gold AccentsCakes are going back to basics. Instead of over-the-top sugar flowers and intricate details, textured simple textured buttercream accented with fresh flowers and even burlap will be popular this season. Instead of traditional round cakes shapes like hexagons and even ovals put a creative spin on simple cakes. Metallic accents, whether it's a gold-foiled tier or allover edible painted gold adds a regal touch to even the simplest cake and also pairs well with a jewel tone color palette. Also big? Naked (non-frosted cake) cakes are an interesting take on the simple, earthy look.
6 of 7
Fall Food Trend: Farm To Table Meets Mini FoodsLocal, seasonal foods are at the heart of catering menus, especially with all of the fall produce. Creative food displays are becoming a surprise element to reception décor. Fill a cabinet full of cider doughnuts or display grilled mini veggies on a stand. Expect to see trendy comfort foods like cronuts and ramen burgers make an appearance as an unexpected late-night snack too!
Also big? As summer winds down, heartier drinks like hard cider and craft pumpkin beer are replacing summer ale and tropical drinks for cocktail hour.
7 of 7
Fall Dress Trend: Sleeves & CoverletsSleeves have been hot since Kate Middleton rocked them for the royal wedding, but we're going to see more romantic and soft cap sleeves accented with beading and lace this season. For fabrics, hints of gold and silver lace are adding hint a of metallic to the classic white or ivory wedding dresses.
Also big?
Coverage with serious style hit the runways this season in the form of chic coverlets, that have the added bonus of keeping you warm on a chilly evening.

Security Double Dutch: Critical infrastructure gaps in the Netherlands highlighted
By Andy Bochman
Hat tip to friend and colleague Steve D for shooting this my way...
Security researcher Oscar Koeroo, working for the Dutch nuclear physics institute NIKHEF, found out that national infrastructural systems were listed on Shodan, (a database of cyber security vulnerabilities) and could be easily accessed remotely. Those systems, controlling pumping stations and sluices, are vital for the water management of a large part of the Netherlands. Because a large part of the country lies below sea-level, those systems keep the Dutch feet dry!
I've been to the Netherlands several times and saw the country in the news a lot recently when UberStorm Sandy raised concerns that New York City should perhaps get similar types of protective systems. I can assure you that this is about much more than a preference for dry feet.
Read on to find out how control system search engine Shodan once again reveals what systems are directly connected to the Internet. Warning, it paints a full picture, but it's not a pretty picture, and hopefully you won't find systems in your charge popping up in the findings window!
Here's the complete article from Tofino, replete with lurid details of password mismanagement, accusations, denials and counter-accusations, and that sort of thing. Best keep a Heineken or two handy.
Andy Bochman is the Energy Security Lead for IBM's Systems Security. A contributor to industry and national security working groups on energy security and cyber security, Andy lives in Boston, is an active member of the MIT Energy Club, and is the founder of the Smart Grid Security and DOD Energy Blogs.

New 3D TV Picture quality & 3D movies (can not watch)
Posted 01 September 2012 - 11:29 AM
My second question has to do with playing a 3D movie I have a Sony BDP-BX58 3D Blu-ray player but when I try to play a side-by-side 3D movie I cannot switch my TV to side-by-side 3D. In talking to a friend who has a LG 3D TV and LG 3D Blu-ray player we think we've figured out it's because I do not have a high speed HDMI cable. He paid $140 and HH Gregg for his with a lifetime guarantee, I've seen him on the Internet for as low as $6. Will a cheaper one do the same job for me?

Also 3D can look cheesy on the LGs and vizios because of the 3D technology they use. Each eye only receives an image that is 540p. I can explain more in depth if you would like.
Good TV (Cable). Better TV (Dish Network). DirecTV.
My Setup
Posted 01 September 2012 - 12:49 PM
2nd: Can you describe what "part of the picture looks very "cheesy" like the picture is if you look at a soap opera" means? Are you saying half the screen looks that way and the other half not? I'm also assuming we're talking about the non-3D picture, which it seems you are alluding too. The other poster seems to think you meant the 3D picture. Could you please clarify.
With that info we sould be able to help.
Posted 02 September 2012 - 07:17 AM
I found out this info from a review on the VIZIO site.
Below is info from the review.
The first thing you notice when you watch a movie on the TV (from ANY source), is that there is something wrong. It looks funny, and you WILL notice it. Note before you read on, know that you can adjust the picture so that it looks "normal," but out of the box, including in Viso's "Movie" preset (which does nothing to address this), you will find ALL movies look funny on your new TV. You MAY like it, but many find it troubling. What is "it?" It is that your TV is VERY high definition and has a super fast refresh rate of 240 Hz. So how is that a problem…. Isn't that why we bought an HDTV in the first place? Yes but you will notice movies look funny, more like cheaply made television video camera shot soap operas rather than movies made on film. We put on the Star Wars Blue Ray and it was very funny looking. Back to the Future too. I mean ROFL funny. The actors looked like they were on a live tv show very bright and very clear, but not at all like a movie film. I actually thought I saw a black square box around one of the starfighter ships in Star Wars, probably a mating effect that I was not supposed to be able to see. There is way to turn off the 240 hz fast refresh (Picture Advanced Options) and when off, movies will look like we are used to on our TVs. I wish Vizio would save this option in their picture presets so that "Movie" preset actually did something rather than just change some brightness and contrast settings. How about it Viso?
Posted 02 September 2012 - 07:21 AM
(All problems in this paragraph are referring to 2D viewing) The part of the picture that has a "soap opera" look is mostly when they show close-ups of people or people in a small setting like in an office. The people just seem to stand out more as do some of the objects in the scene. It doesn't look as natural as it did on my older 32" LG 32LC2DU TV or on any of my other TVs, all of which (with the exception of my Toshiba 24" LED TV) are older 720p, my Toshiba is 1080p and was just purchased this spring. The picture looks more normal on it as well. It is easy to compare the Toshiba to my new LG 3D TV as they're both in the same room one on either side of my bed as I'm a quadriplegic and watch the 24" when I lay my left side and a new 42" when I land my right side and mostly when I am on my back, however when I'm on my back I can easily look to the left and see the Toshiba or look to the right and see the LG 3D. (Again just to be clear this is in 2D viewing)
Any hdmi cable will work.
In my Sony BDP-BX58 3D Blu-ray player manual that states in order to watch 3D movies you need a "high-speed" HDMI cable. If any HDMI cable will work, why can't I get my LG TV to switch into side-by-side 3D mode when I have my Blu-ray selected?
Posted 02 September 2012 - 10:31 AM
What kind of HDMI cable do I need for 3D TV?
Most recent good-quality HDMI cables should be able to carry 3D video, especially if they're 2 meters or less in length. If you're buying new cables, look for ones labeled "high-speed," "1.3," or "1.4" to be sure. You'll need higher-bandwidth cables to carry the full 3D signal — it's equivalent to nearly two 1080p signals, simultaneously. Check out our 3D TV FAQ and introduction to 3D TV articles for more info.
My son's 2D 52" Mitsubishi said to hook it up with the High Speed cable. We did not have one so we used the one the DTV tech hooked it up with. I went to the store and got one that was labeled High Speed. It did make a difference in his TV.
I do think some are better than the others and I also think some are way over priced.

Go into you menu: Settings - PICTURE - Picture Mode - Picture Options - TruMotion. In that menu, turn everything off or set to 0 if it's a number values.
While you're in there, set your Picture Mode to ISF Expert 1. And turn the Intelligent Sensor off.
By the way, you'll have to do the above for each input on your TV you use.
Also if you buy a video test disc, you can go even deeper in setting up all those settings more accurately. But that's a another thread that would take a lot of time and effort to do and explain.
If you are getting the picture on the TV with the HDMI cable you are using, then the cable will work just fine. An HDMI cable is NOT going to make a display switch to another format, etc... The cable is just the transport, it is either going to work, not work, or the inbetween is where you picture cuts in & out (or works sometimes). You always want to use a good quality cable but if you are getting a constant picture with no dropouts, the cable you are using will work.
The LG you have auto detects a 3D signal and puts the TV in the right mode. There is a software update for that TV as well, this can affect the 3D working in the TV correctly. Make sure you run the software update - if the TV can't be connected to the internet, do the USB update by downloading the file at LG's website.
The Sony bluray has a setting in the menu to turn 3D output of a disc on or off. Make sure that is turned on. Also there is a software update for the Sony bluray as well - make sure you do that one also.
[edit]: One last trick. Try plugging the bluray's hdmi cable into the TV's HDMI 1 input on that LG (the one labeled 'ARC'). Not all HDMI ports on a TV are the same, for some odd reason some HDMI ports are more compatible than others. Ususally the one labeled ARC (Audio Return Channel) has the best connectivity.

I want to thank everyone here for all their help!
P.S. I'm using my original HDMI cables, which were purchased four or five years ago, and I'm also going through a Monoprice 4 x 4 HDMI switch, so much for needing "high-speed".

Mickelson falls short at U.S. Open, finishing second for sixth time
Clearly, Mickelson could have used his driver at the 18th, where he needed a birdie to tie Rose, but had almost no chance when he left himself 224 yards from the left rough. His third was a desperate wedge from 65 yards that missed about 3 feet wide.
That Mickelson sprinted up the hill to see his ball possibly go in says a lot about his intrepid optimism. And, of course, he had holed out a wedge from 75 yards at No. 10 for an eagle that everyone figured would spark him.
But it was another one that was not to be. And though the collapse at Winged Foot seven years ago might have stung badly, this one makes Mickelson ache because time is slipping by. He turned 43 on Sunday and the oldest U.S. Open champion is Hale Irwin at 45.
"I think this was my best chance," Mickelson said. "This one's probably the toughest for me because at 43 and coming so close five times, it would have changed the way I look at this tournament altogether and the way I would have looked at my record."

Out on Nov 7, 2014
Drift Recordings
Stefan Obermaier is the kind of artist who doesn't have B-sides. His EPs have always overflowed with nightlife, with relaxed ecstasy and collective climax. A dreamy tumult. In that sense, his new opus "Sinaye/Dawning" is a true novelty. "Sinaye" fits like a charm on the chain of the trademark Obermaier sound: deep but sublimely driven, tribal and penetrating, playful yet deliberate. With it he draws together the masses, gathering them again and again on the dance floor. With "Dawning" the artist breaks away, showing a facet of his style that has always been there, but which is now a signature of his new EP. The listener is invited to lean a little further back and disappear, landing on a deserted beach outside of time. Obermaier's night sound is transported into a parallel otherworld. A world where the sun is always just starting to rise but the mist still hangs in the air. The beats fade back and the synths rise to the fore, open, singing, spreading like light. But make no mistake—even his lighter touch will move you to dance.

So my plan is to make two videos soon. Music by me. Except they both have two different purposes. One is to promote awareness the other is to advertise a business. Interesting yes?
I am not a band I am a project and my own kind of artist. I have ideas and make them come to life.
25 years later...
I'm older, fatter, and grayer.. oh and GAYER. Hellloooo slutsss! Been writing more epic fail shit. Stay tuned, more lack of talent-less music coming your way
10 years later......
Its hard to be motivated when people tell you, you can't do something.
Am I right?
What hard work for a shitty attempt of two demos phew...alright I'm sure the next update
won't betill another 10 years.
As of 4/15/10 I have 8 of 10 songs. Go me
Hello my name is Jess. I was born in Queens Ny but grew up in Long Island. Growing up listening to the Backstreet boys was always a cool thing to talk about back then, now times have changed. If it weren't for my cousin I would have never been introduced into listening to punk. First band I got into was Sum 41, the lead singer Deryck Whibley influenced me to play guitar. Later on I began listening to other punk bands, Blink 182 became my all time love. I remember when I learned my first Blink song, It was like loosing your virginity. [The best feeling in the world.] I've been in a few bands.. they never lasted. So I called it quits for being in a band for a long time..and began to practice by myself learning the tricks behind fingering the fret board on it's G string.[;)] Singing about Grandmas to unicorns never sounded so badass... then i figured fuck it why not go solo...

Features in the Spring 2015 Issue of Edible Cape Cod:
Once the snow finally melted in our yard, the destruction of the winter season was revealed in the form of disintegrated raised beds, half a driveway's worth of stones in our berry patch and enough broken branches to fuel a sizable bonfire. But our small miseries pale in comparison to what famer Dave DeWitt of Dave's Greens in Truro endured: winter crops dying in snow-darkened greenhouses, delayed spring planting, even a collapsed greenhouse, all to the tune of many thousands of dollars in lost revenue. Our garden is a hobby; Dave's farm is his livelihood. But as contributor Larry Egan observes in his article about Dave's Greens, DeWitt takes his losses in stride in a typical Cape Cod manner, with a shrug and a meh – exemplifying the stalwart traits we love most of the hardy, matter-of-fact Yankees that populate our peninsula. Get over it and move on, already! So, we are moving on. No more grousing about winter 2015!
With the air and water temperature warming, all (reasonable) thoughts turn to fishing, and putting the freshest seafood on the table. Regular contributor and fisherman Russell Kingman was solicited by the chef/owners of the fabulous Pisces in Chatham (run, don't walk if you haven't been) for a morning on the seas to demonstrate the ancient practice of weir fishing to their entire staff so they could better appreciate the food they serve to their customers. As Kingman points out, this is a win-win-win situation for fishermen, restaurateurs and diners.
Speaking of Russell Kingman, he was one of four of our contributors honored at the 10th annual Eddy Awards this past March. Russell was a finalist in the Best Story Personal Essay category. Other Edible Cape Cod winners were Vanessa Stewart, who won Critic's Choice for Best Feature/Chef; Elise Hugus, who won Reader's Choice for Best Story/Environment or Sustainability; and Julie Mirocha, who won Reader's Choice for Best Feature/Food Artisan. You can read these winning stories and the rest of the 2015 Eddy Award winners at the Edible Feast website (ediblefeast.com/eddyawards).
Whatever your passion – fishing, gardening, clamming – tis the season to shake off the cobwebs, roll up your sleeves and swing into action.
Happy Spring!

Hey guys.
Today I crafted my own knight's gear. I've been playing as a beserker cannon-glass for a while now and I'm sick and tired of getting owned before I manage to land a shot.
I'm also considering to buy the commander title so I can't set an example of exploding in people's face - because that's what cannon glass warriors do .
I've been using 20/30/0/0/20 classic build with the GS + Rifle/Hammer. I don't mind swapping weapons at this point as well as switching up my traits as long as i'll have more survivability without the a major loss of my damage.
My jewel set is berserker but I'm not sure if I'm gonna give it up yet, I can be flexible with the weapon stats.
So what am I asking here :
What runes should I use?
What traits should I use?
What weapons should I use?
In order to be able to deal sustained amount of damage (preferred with crits) and keep myself ALIVE.
If you have an idea, please leave a comment to help me out here .

Iginla celebrates 12th 30-goal season by handing Caps costly loss
Mar 29, 2014, 3:17 PM EDT
With their main competitors struggling, the Washington Capitals had an opportunity to gain some ground in the Wild Card race this afternoon. Instead, they watched as Boston cruised to a 4-2 victory.
Bruins forward Jarome Iginla scored his 29th and 30th markers of 2013-14 to lead the charge. With the playoffs mere weeks away, he's one of the hottest players in the league with 13 goals in his last 15 contests.
Excluding the shortened season, Iginla has now reached the 30-goal mark in 12 straight campaigns. He has 560 career goals, which puts him in a tie with Guy Lafleur for 24th place on the all-time list.
Carl Soderberg and Patrice Bergeron each scored with the man advantage. Washington's Braden Holtby started in just his second game since March 6 and stopped 31 of 33 shots.
For the Bruins, this win was about maintaining their momentum and chasing the St. Louis Blues in the race for the Presidents' Trophy. Washington is in a far toughter position. The Capitals entered this game as one of four teams tied with 80 points in the battle for the two Wild Card spots in the Eastern Conference.
Two of the other teams in that tie, Detroit and Toronto, will play against each other tonight, so at least one of them will put some distance on the Capitals. As it is, Washington is last among the four squads in end of season tiebreaker (wins minus shootout victories), although for now the Capitals have an edge on the Maple Leafs by virtue of having played in one less contest.
Jarome Iginla now has 12 career 30-goal seasons. Guys who did NOT accomplish that: Lemieux, Messier, Bossy, Selanne, Yzerman, Fedorov.

That also locked in his last contract incentive. What a great signing and deal!
- husky2score - Mar 29, 2014 at 3:24 PM
Refs were absolutely terrible and while they didn't 100% cost the game, they we're definitely a factor in how the game played out.

2 of the first 3 Boston goals were purely dumb luck so I'm not totally down on the Caps right now. However they REALLY need to get back Laich and Grabovski. That's 2 of their top 6 they've been without for some time now. Hillen out did not help either.
- bigbadbruins77 - Mar 29, 2014 at 4:14 PM
Umm both of the caps goals were dumb luck hahaa. Teach Ovi hpe to play some d.
- drewsylvania - Mar 29, 2014 at 4:59 PM
Goals happen when one team badly outplays the other, which is what happened today.
- selldannysell - Mar 29, 2014 at 7:18 PM
Get back Laich and Grabovski? If this team was worth anything, they'd already have guys stepping in up their absence. Injuries are no excuse. And I'm a Caps fan!
- kaptaanamerica - Mar 29, 2014 at 3:54 PM
Mike Bossy's career was cut short by injury or else he might have had 12 straight fifty goal seasons…
- bigbadbruins77 - Mar 29, 2014 at 4:13 PM
Wow I'm impressed by the list of people that didn't do it. Except bossy and super Mario cut short.
- the8man - Mar 29, 2014 at 6:09 PM
And now I'm wondering if Iginla is wondering what might have been had he chosen Boston last year instead of Pittsburgh.
Then again, maybe he knows and he's playing like a man who wants a Cup.
You just never know….
In a constant, pride filled and cautiously optimistic whisper from Baltimore, "Go Bs! Go Bs! Go Bs!"
- c9castine - Mar 29, 2014 at 9:58 PM
pointless conversation. a lot of people think that by adding 3 top forwards at the deadline the penguins messed with what they had. might not have made a difference for boston..
i just hope nobody doubted the guy that would have been silly. even though people say it "didnt work out" in pittsburgh he still had 11pts in 13 games in the regular season and 12 pts in 15 playoff games, an even higher pace than this year.
its Iginla and hes only 36. of course he was going to score 30…
- letsgocaps88 - Mar 29, 2014 at 11:18 PM
i like the shoutout from baltimore, Charm city native here!

Iggy is the kind of player that makes the NHL great. Class head to toe, great hockey player, dressing room to final buzzer…man is Hall of Fame bound 100 % guarenteed.
- the8man - Mar 29, 2014 at 6:27 PM
Talk about a guy who's career was cut short? Try Cam Neely.
Absolute stud on the ice. Skate, fight, shoot, score!
- whiskytango333 - Mar 29, 2014 at 8:06 PM
Can't help but wonder how much more Iggy would have produced last year if that idiot Bylsma utilized him correctly. Good for him, class act, I hope he gets that elusive Cup.
Oh yeah, #FireBylsma
- c9castine - Mar 29, 2014 at 9:59 PM
as i just mentioned, he produced more as a Penguin actually.
but thanks Coach.

15:52 in the 3rd. Horrible slew foot by Ovechkin. Typical of the dirty loser. Guess you have to expect that from a -31 player. Caps Ward line are the only real hockey players on that team.
- rahavort - Mar 30, 2014 at 8:19 AM
Thank you Penguins for Iginla, as he is playing incredible this season with the B's
- henrik4dawin - Mar 30, 2014 at 12:39 PM
I know this isn't really the right place, but did anyone see how slowly OV skated back? He could have tied up Iggy in front of the net (if he had skated slightly faster, he would have got there first) and probably stopped that goal from happening. But no, he had to slowly meander up the ice

68-82 Headlight Actuators (Car Set)
Availability: In stock
Note: When installing the headlight actuator - often times left or right sides are confused. Original installations featured the vacuum nipple pointed to the OUTSIDE of the Corvette. Often times upon replacement the actuators are mixed up and the correct installation is reversed. This reversal causes issues with the routing of the vacuum hoses allowing the hood to catch or pinch the hose when closed. Zip has also noted that on many 1980-1982 Corvettes the cannisters may have been installed this way from the factory due to the change in vacuum source. Please confirm the installation prior to ordering. Our vacuum cannisters will come with nipple pointed to the outside of the Corvette.

Some Republicans are pointing the finger at Sen. Chris Dodd amid reports that the Connecticut senator offered an amendment to reduce TSA funding for "aviation security" by $4.5 million for grants for firefighters, but at the time of the proposal, there was no objection by Republicans.
Sen. Dodd proposed providing $10 million to fund firefighters' equipment, an amendment in the Homeland Security appropriations bill that was passed with unanimous consent and no objection from Republicans at the time.
The partisan bickering has even spilled into local politics. Rep. Peter Hoekstra, the Michigan Republican planning a gubernatorial campaign, sent out a fundraising solicitation discussing Northwest Airlines Flight 253 and bashing the Obama administration's handling of the issue.
"Unfortunately, as the Democrat party drifts further and further to the left, their leaders are making decisions that should frighten us all. Since President Obama took office, he and his left-wing cronies have taken steps to undermine the work of our brave men and women who work tirelessly to keep us safe," the e-mail states. "Barack Obama's policies may impress the 'Blame America First' crowd at home and his thousands of fans overseas, but they sure don't do anything to protect our families in Michigan or the rest of America. ... I will be a governor who fights, every day, to keep Michigan safe."
One of Hoekstra's GOP rivals for the gubernatorial nomination, businessman Rick Snyder, took issue with the e-mail and complained that the congressman's decision to use Flight 253 as an opportunity to raise money for his political campaign represents Hoekstra's "Washington style of politics," which Snyder says is not needed in Lansing [the state capital].
"It is extremely disappointing that the Congressman would use a potentially tragic incident to raise money for his political campaign. In these troubling times, words can't describe how sad it is to see an attempt to politically capitalize on a failed terrorist attack just three days after it happened," Snyder's communications director Jake Suski said in a statement. "Unfortunately, Congressman Hoekstra's Washington style of politics as usual isn't the answer to our lack of leadership in Lansing."
Democrats also panned Hoekstra's move.
"I think this is the same gentleman, people need to know, that had a press conference and said we found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq," Democratic Strategic James Carville said on "GMA" today. "I think this man has some sort of intellectual challenges."
The Democratic National Committee used Hoekstra's fundraising solicitation to paint the GOP as being interested in playing "politics" with national security.
"It was shameful that Republicans like Mr. Hoekstra would attempt to play politics with our national security at all, but raising money off it is beyond the pale," DNC National Press Secretary Hari Sevugan said in a statement. "Republicans are playing politics with issues of national security and terrorism, and that they would use this incident as an opportunity to fan partisan flames and raise money for political campaigns tells you all you need to know about how far the Republican party has fallen and how out of step with the American people they have become."

American Jobs Creation Act
The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 was a
federal tax
act composed of
credits for agricultural and business institutions. This included the repeal of some excise taxes on fuel and alcohol; also it created tax credits for bio fuels. Below are some of the most commonly asked questions about the American Jobs Creation Act answered by the Experts.
Are corporations able to deduct luxury Sports Utility Vehicles (SUV), if so what are the requirements or criteria?
In most cases passenger autos are subject to a limitation on how much a person can deduct per year. Extravagant vehicles, such as a Ferrari, Lamborghinis, etc. are not usually deductable. Generally most cars use the weight of 6,000 pounds loaded as a cutoff point. Some SUV's can be written off subject to business use limitations. However the American Jobs Creation act of 2004 specifies a maximum
for a SUV to be $25,000 per year in 2004, the remainder of the cost is to be otherwise depreciated in the first year.
If a person is paid $10,000 in commissions and their employer withholds $3,000 including Medicare and Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA), would this withholding be correct?
Most generally an employer can withhold up to 25% as federal
on supplementary wages, therefore they could deduct $2,500 as federal withholding and 7.65% as FICA and
on a payment of this amount.
If an individual has received a settlement that falls under the American Jobs Creation is the individual allowed to deduct any attorney fees or cost for the previous years?
Typically attorney fees paid in years prior to a resolution are deductable; however there are no clear indications on how to determine the deductible amount. Attaching an itemized note with expenses to the person's tax return could prove to be a benefit in such a case. Also
may only be claimed in the year that the
taxable income
is paid.
Could property be sold as residence for tax purposes instead of rental property if an individual has bought this property from the section 1031 exchange and lived in the home for 2 out of 5 years?
In most cases when a property is acquired as a part of a section 1031 exchange. The owner must own the property for a minimum of five years before they can qualify for the exclusion on the sale of a primary residence. Therefore the individual would most likely qualify for a partial exclusion since the property was used as an investment property after being a primary residence. Most generally two out of five years or 40% of the gain would not be excluded in this matter.
If a person bought items in order to take advantage of section 179 then found out it wasn't used on last year's tax return, should they claim it on this year's tax return or amend in order to make the change?
In some cases the person would be advised to amend last year's return and elect using section 179 for qualified property.
The American Jobs Creation Act was initially designed to repeal the
Export Tax
, which had been declared illegal by the World Trade Organization several times and started retaliatory Tariffs by the European Union. The act made American manufacturing, service, and technology businesses, along with American workers more competitive and productive both at home and abroad. This subject can supply insight to just a few of the problems facing America; it can also open a wide variety of questions that need to be answered by the Experts.

"I think this wrapper means we all have the same rights," a young child explains.
"A burger has never made me cry before," says a young woman.
To wit:
"Proceeds from the limited-time-only $4.29 sandwich will be donated to the Burger King McLamore Foundation, the chain's charity arm, for scholarships for college-bound LGBT high school seniors graduating next spring."
Bonus round: Rainbow Crowns!
In closing:
"The Gay Whopper. It's a thing. No but really though."

Sunday Sunday Sunday:
Clement St. Grand Opening!
Agricultural Institute of Marin is partnering with the Clement Street Merchants Association to bring the Inner Richmond San Francisco's newest farmers market! Beginning June 23rd, join us every Sunday from 9am to 2pm, on Clement Street between 2nd and 4th Avenues, year-round, for what promises to be a great Sunday morning destination for foodies and families alike.
Read the news and turn the pages:
"Lord knows that Sundays at that part of Clement can be a bit depressing, what with infrequent bus service, a number of empty parking spaces, and lots and lots of closed storefronts abutting a handful of thriving businesses."
For lease, for rent, "retirement sale," going out of business sale, and on and on:

Tell me how it goes.
Here's what you need to know about the forthcoming Clement Street Farmers Market.
Oh look, from District One Supe Eric Mar:
"Thank you to Peter Lauterborn from my office, the Clement Street Merchants Assn, Argonne Community Garden, Peabody elementary school PTA, Argonne elementary school PTO and many others for working with the great folks from Marin Agricultural Institute to organize our community farmer's market! We are working hard to make it family friendly, and thanks to Foggy Notion, Seed Store, ParkLife, Green Apple, Cumaica Coffee House and Giorgio's Pizzeria and other businesses too for helping to make this successful! [Signed] Eric Mar, District 1 Supervisor. If you have any suggestions or questions – contact Peter at 415-554-7411 or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com"
And "youthful" (I mean, his relatively short Wiki entry uses the term 14 times, right?) aide Peter Lauterborn speaks his piece here.
The thing is is that some businesses on 3rd Avenue, where a couple block will get shut down weekly, don't seem to be aware of the CSFM.
The Sloat Garden Center for one:

I myself have no particular beef with the new farmer's market* but I cry foul at the SFMTA-type, everybody's-a-winner, everybody-supports-this-new-thing, just-wait-until-you-see-the-transformation-of-the-Inner-Richmond style of campaign behind it.
Anyway, Lord knows that Sundays at that part of Clement can be a bit depressing, what with infrequent bus service, a number of empty parking spaces, and lots and lots of closed storefronts abutting a handful of thriving businesses.
(One assumes that most customers of the 3rd Avenue Burger King and Sloat Gardens will figure another way of getting to and fro asides from approaching from the north.)
*Indeed, I just might visit. Actually, I was out yesterday taking King and Messiah for a walk to a bakery on 3rd very near Clement.

You'd never see this back in the day, I'll tell you. Back then, you'd never see this kind of sign at a fast food place.
Back then, the signs you'd see on this topic always used to say, "NOT ACCEPTING EBT" and the like.
Like at the Real Foods in Cow Hollow, for instance.
But things are changing…
Well here it is, the before and after of the San Francisco Happy Meal from McDonalds.
Today's the day that the San Francisco's Healthy Meal Incentives Ordinance kicks in. The upshot is that now you have to donate 10 cents to Ronald McDonald House in order to get the toy.
Click to expand
(Note the apple slices in the upper right. They've been around for a while.)
But uh oh, is Micky Dee's charging sales tax on the donation? Yes it is. I cry foul.* (Uh, San Francisco McDonaldses, can you do that? Do you need to rejigger your registers?)
This sign was just put up. It's all "10 cents adds a toy."
Now I'll tell you, I can recall buying a Hamburger Happy Meal in Palo Alto last year for exactly two-fitty ($2.50). It had more fries plus the free toy (but it didn't have apple slices or a slice of cheese for the burger.) Anyway, prices be going up, it seems.
Oh well.
*So, the only reason to charge sales tax is if the 10-cent purported "donation" is actually for the "retail sale of tangible personal property," right? So which is it, a donation or a sale? I mean if I donated money to Ronald McDonald House on Scott Street, they sure as Hell wouldn't tack on sales tax, would they? Mmmm… I paid ten cents extra to get a toy, right? Thinking out loud here, could it be that, as far as San Francisco is concerned, the 10 cents shows that the toy isn't included "for free" and therefore the sale need not comply with the HMIO, but as far as the state of California is concerned, McD's is just selling the toy for 10 cents, so therefore, obviously, a penny needs to be collected and forwarded to Sacramento for each sale? (But of course, if you walk up and offer your 10-cent donation for just the toy, they'll say, "No dice." They used to charge $2 for toy only purchases). Have the legal advisers for area McDonalds restaurants thought this through? I don't know. Anyway, the approach they're taking appears to be a giant F.U. to the City and County of San Francisco. I'll tell you, the path they're on is full of rusty nails and garbage pails. Just saying. But hey, what about McDonalds Corporation in Oak Brook, Illinois? Did they sign off on this? I wonder. (Did they indemnify the local owners? By contract, or, you know, some other way. I'm just curious about who came up with this ten cent idea.) Anyway, this is me thinking aloud, just raising issues. I can't wrap my head around "ten cents adds a toy" and how that relates to state tax law. Like when I got my Android phone plus two-year contract for $50, I had to pay another $50 or so in sales tax because the phone is worth far more than $50. For example…
Actually, never had a BK Stacker myself, but I 'member this garbage bin cover/poster from a few years back anyway.
Understand that the Quad is an off-menu item at best these days, oh well.
But we'll have our memries, won't we?
Click to expand
(And those memories are probably a lot better than the reality, based upon this photo of a real-life Quad Stacker from back in the day. Oh well)

Spin endorsment for student pilot?
Asked by: lo_fly 1507 views FAA Regulations
I have a student (student pilot) who asked me to show him a spin and the recovery procedure, so i did. Than he asked me to let him enter and recover from a spin, so he did. Now he wants me to give him the spin endorsment... can i do that? i don't meet the requirements for teaching and endorsing initial CFI's so in case he will in the future become a CFI that endorsment doesn't count? I guess he wants it on his logbook just to show off with his friends cause he won't become a CFI, but still...

Respond to Review of Rewild Cruelty-Free Club
by laceygean
Review: This place is a little out of the way, you have to take the metro out to the edge of the city for it, but dont miss it! You get there and ring the door and are greated by Churro, the owners dog. Grab a small table or a long communal table and take your pick of bruchettas (harissa was best) and burgers (acheo was great) and there is even a full bar and lots of iced teas to choose from. The Vegan cheese platters are really interesting, worth a try. But best! The prices! A burger was like 5 euro! The owners/servers/cooks were so friendly.

Estethica, London Fashion Week's recent sustainable design showcase featured some great examples of recycled/repurposed materials in designs that are light in footprint but substantial in style. One of the bright young stars of Estethica, Mark Liu, has taken sustainable fashion one step further with his 'zero-waste' fabric patterns and eco-designs that do just that, waste not a scrap of fabric. Liu's pieces are yet another example of why Central Saint Martins grads are true innovators, as his next generation of pattern making is both wearable and cutting edge.

I just wanted follow on from what Timo said about the increase in the production of zero-waste fashion. To further motivate you I can inform you that Leeds University Fashion Design students, myself, spend half our first year designing zero-waste products following your lead. Thank you

This is all very good and innovate. But, hoping not to sound like some nasty shoulder pad feminist, can't we move to sustainable fashion on models who aren't stick figures, or is designing for unrealistically bone -thin women a part of eco-fashion in that it uses less material?
Really, I'd think that there was a way to get all of this to work together.

Thanks Abigail. I've just realised I didn't include thanks for writing about this – thank you! When I started the research in 2004, most people would stare at me blankly when I told them what I was doing, and finding Burnham's research last year was a bit of a validating moment. But anyway, having people like you write about these things and promoting the likes of Mark and others is invaluable; please keep it up!
With thanks,

Good point that needs some clarification. Miyake's A-POC is a fundamentally different approach to Cut & Sew (Mark's approach). As amazing a way to make clothes (and other things) as I think A-POC is, I don't think it means the end of Cut & Sew, the most common way of designing and making clothes. I tried to explain the differences in a conference paper in 2005, and again in my chapter in 'Sustainable Fashion: Why Now?', just out from Fairchild Books. In both texts I've covered other examples of a no-waste approach to fashion design, perhaps most notably by Zandra Rhodes and Yeohlee Teng. Since writing those, I've also been introduced to the research by Deborah K. Burnham – she was researching it 35 years ago. It's funny that all of a sudden no-waste is a new thing, when really it's a really old thing, when you start digging. Hundreds, if not thousands of years old.

let's not forget dan fujiwara and issey miyake's A-POC technique of making a garment from a single piece of thread; also tremendously reducing waste via eliminating patternmaking. miyake and liu should team up.

Marsh Island homeowners chip in for Indian River to demolish unsafe, unfinished home
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — Community leaders in Marsh Island, a visible, high-end subdivision halfway along the Wabasso Causeway, want so much to be rid of a 4-year-old unfinished home they've offered to split the county's estimated $20,000 cost to demolish it.
And in a 5-0 vote Tuesday, county commissioners agreed to have Deputy County Attorney Bill DeBraal work out a contract with the Marsh Island Homeowners' Association. The pact would divide the expenses of taking down a house that Winter Park residents Paul and Yu-Hang Shoquist started in 2007 on a third of an acre on the northern end of the island.
"That house has been standing vacant for two or three years now. The roof is partially finished, but none of the windows are in," association President John von Hagen said.
County Building Official Jose Guanch said he posted the house as unsafe in January after unsuccessful efforts to reach the Shoquists.
The county has the right to order a demolition, he said, if there is no building activity for two years. County officials rarely exercise that authority, he said, but the Shoquist house is hazardous enough to warrant it.
For instance, he said, the house's open windows have allowed rain to enter for the past few years and damage the walls and wooden floors.
"This structure is, without a doubt, unsafe," Guanch said. "If there was a bad storm, this thing will be flying apart."
This case is unusual, he said, because most county demolition orders involve older homes that once were occupied but later vacant.
"This was a very expensive home when they were building it," von Hagen said. "But the economy died and the owners didn't want to put more money in it so they stopped construction. I talked to the owner and he said they just ran out of money."
Shoquist couldn't be reached for comment.
DeBraal said it's rare — but not prohibited — for neighbors to contribute toward the demolition of a neighborhood home. He said they are concerned about the unfinished home making the community look bad when agents show the area to prospective lot-buyers.
He said the property has a mortgage of $3.15 million, as well as liens from subcontractors. Any county liens would be payable only after those are paid.
After he works out the contract with the association, DeBraal said, county officials will add the Shoquist house to a list of other homes to be demolished and seek the commission's final approval to seek a demolition contractor for all of them.
