This is what happens when you have a team of skill but no hunger.
The 2011-12 Detroit Red Wings took their early out of their 21st consecutive playoff appearance with a run that may have just been a sweep by the Nashville Predators.
What the Red Wings have in skill they completely lacked in heart. I would not go as far as say the Dead Wing Era has returned but if things keep going this way they it just might. There was no hunger, no passion, no emotion at all from the machine that is the Detroit Red Wings.
Cycle. Cycle. Cycle.
That is what we witnessed in these five games. All Cycle no shoot.
It has been said so many times that it has become a cliché but you're going to miss all the shots you don't take; and if no one is there to knock in the rebound that Pekka Rinne gives up… guess what that is not going to go in either.
Bringing in new assistant coaching was suppose to bring in new ideas for the team. Becoming lackluster just is not going to win anything.
More should have been done at the trade deadline. Getting Kyle Quincey back was fantastic… if racking up penalty minutes was the objective.
Why is it the playoffs start and now the Red Wings can not keep themselves out of the penalty box? Stupid plays. Johan Franzen played stupid the entire series. Why are is he getting paid what he is? The excuse was for his playoff performance. Well holy crap ya'all that was horrible.
It is not a coincidence that the only game Detroit won was the one where they were heated. When they hated Nashville for Shea Weber's attack on Henrik Zetterberg. I am not going to go into that incident we all have beat that horse to death; but game two the Red Wings came out hungry and they won.
Remember when the Red Wings were the team to go to because they would rally for a player? When they played their hearts out to win that cup in 2008 for Dallas Drake before he retired.
They could not do that for Tomas Holmstrom and possibly Nicklas Lidstrom? Really? Drake meant more to them than these two that have spent their entire careers making the team what it is (or was) for these "youngsters".
The team needs an update. Get rid of the stubron jackass we call the Mule, get a goal scorer. Honestly since losing Marian Hossa to the Blackhawks the Red Wings still have not found themselves a snipper. Players can cycle the puck all they want, but unless they shoot it they are not going to score.
Keep Darren Helm, Keep Patrick Eaves in your thoughts and hope he is okay for next season. Detroit missed both of them dearly in the playoffs.
Keep Nicklas Kronwall though odds are he is injured again as he did not "Kronwall" anyone this series (odds are it would have been a 4-5 game suspension anyway).
Keep Howard but find him a good partner. Not a back up but a good goaltending tandem where the goalies push one another; not where one self destructs.
Keep the Euro Twins. Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg probably should have played on the same line together a little more when nothing was frickin' working.
Keep Bertuzzi since he is the only one willing to use his size.
The Central Division is getting younger, full of players that are hungry to get their chance at the cup and to take down everyone that stands in their way.
Especially the old measuring stick Red Wings.
#ShannyBarTheDoorToTheNURSERY PLEASE CONSIDER one concept: Better to get skateblades to the arm, The Office Of Bettman's Safety, questions about the world's perfect man and early tee times on the links, than hold a Gary Glitter royalty $$ jam every time your team scores.
I spoke to a PRist @PredsNHL on Apr16 to 'splain that "Rock N Roll Pt II" was the equivalent of a #CHILDpredsTELETHON for Gary Glitter in royalty $$. From a team called the Preds, what classy move comes next? #GrahamJamesNite at Bridgestone™ Arena? The NE Patriots best begin seeking a new tune, too, I believe.
I have little disagreement with your personnel observations..but I gotta take a step back, take a week or two in gratitude, remembering all of the incredible hockey of the last coupla decades. Even though I haven't had cable TV since 2010, Ken and Paul on my cell have kept me right in it. And listening to the REST o' the league's announcers has made me even MORE grateful for an informed love of the game, and a sportsmanship that APPRECIATES EVEN OPPOSING PLAYERS' WORK. Brilliant!
Babcock's post game chats are priceless..yet invoke no dictators, scandal, BLAMESTORMING nor whining. I already can't wait for next year!
Nonetheless, my hockey joy isn't over til the whiny troll bleats: "the Stanley Cup goes to.." Will it be: " That's PRESIDENT SEABASS TO YOU, Gary. Get me a beer!" again? Hmmm..
We Red Schwings fans have had an embarassment of hockey riches for so long that THAT'S become a kind of joke: "Who do ya think owns the team, Mike and Marian?!" Ha!
My teenager knows nothing first-hand of Grind Lines, Goose Loonies, Goodwill Games defections, limo crashes, "What the hell's a coke mill?!", stick tape "A"s, or the GENIUS of The Kronk UPPERCUT..though I HAVE already mentioned them a thousand times or two. ;D

Self Portrait, An Installation by artist Pat Steir will be exhibited in the Richard & Dolly Mass Gallery of the Visual Arts Building, School of Art + Design, from September 30 to November 19. Hours are Monday-Friday 9 AM to 5 PM. Free.
A wall drawing first created by renowned artist Pat Steir in 1987, Self-Portrait; An Installation, will be recreated in the Richard & Dolly Maass Gallery. The installation will cover the walls of the gallery with vastly enlarged images of parts of the face and was inspired by Renaissance and baroque drawing manuals discussed in E.H. Gombrich's seminal text Art and Illusion (1956) as well as those in the New York Public Library's Rare Books Room.
Undergraduate and graduate students selected and led by School of Art + Design faculty members Susan Horvath, Julian Kreimer, and Michael Torlen, will execute the work according to Steir's instructions under the supervision of Anthony Sansotta, the artistic director of the Sol Lewitt estate. The drawing, which will commence on September 15, will take aproximately two weeks to complete, giving the public a rare opportunity to see the process unfold through the windows of the Maass Gallery.
Another exhibit, Pat Steir: Drawing Out of Line is on view at the Neuberger Museum of Art from September 11 to December 19. The show was organized by Jan Howard, Curator of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs at the Rhode Island School of Design and Susan Harris, an independent curator. Call 914-251-6750 for information.

If you are looking for me on January 24, drive down to Sprinkles Cupcakes and Ice Cream at Lenox Square Mall where you will find me patiently waiting in line for a gluten-free red velvet cupcake. This new cupcake bakery offers gluten-free cupcakes (topped with a red "G") every day, but they only make one flavor, red velvet. This location of Sprinkles will also feature a Sprinkles ATM that dispenses cupcakes 24 hours a day, so people can satisfy their cupcake fix at any time.
Sprinkles wouldn't share their confidential ingredient list, but I can share that the cupcakes contain both dairy and eggs. The flour blend used for the gluten-free cupcakes is made with a blend of garbanzo bean flour, potato starch, tapioca flour, whole grain sweet white sorghum flour, and fava bean flour. Of course, there are cross contamination concerns because the gluten-free cupcakes are baked in a shared environment and they are subject to airborne wheat flour, so it is good to learn that they have instituted measures to limit contamination.
They use separate mixing bowls, tools (spatulas, whisks, etc.), baking pans, and baking scoops for the gluten-free cupcakes. Additionally, it is Sprinkles practice to thoroughly clean all kitchen equipment and surfaces in between production of batches. They keep the gluten-free cupcakes in the back of the store on their own rack covered in plastic and not in the display case with their gluten cupcakes. Additionally, employees are trained to ask customers if they would like their gluten-free cupcakes packaged separately from their other ones and a fresh glove is always used when handling them.
On Friday, Sprinkles Cupcakes will be baking 10 golden tickets inside cupcakes, hiding 10 inside ice cream pints and hiding 10 inside boxes at the Cupcake ATM. What great incentive to head over to the grand opening with a chance to win one of 30 $100 gift cards.
Will you try a gluten-free red velvet cupcake from Sprinkles?

I just got this from Amazon
I've verified that your order has been canceled and you have not been charged. Since the order has been canceled, it will no longer appear in Your Account.
When you place an order, we contact your bank for a purchase authorization to verify your card / reward points / checking account, but don't actually charge you until the order ships. Some banks may hold funds in your account for these authorizations for 7-10 business days even if the order is canceled.
You'll need to contact your bank for assistance. They can tell you why funds on your account may be unavailable and clarify how long they hold payment authorizations for online orders.
I hope this helps. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Checkdowns: Brian Burke's "Best Games of the Decade"
This post is a little behind the curve (the feature originally came out in late June), but Brian Burke of Advanced NFL Stats has a cool application using his Win Probability model that measures the best comebacks and the "most exciting" games since the 2000 season. He talks about the methodology here, and the gist is that the greatest comebacks are ones where the winning team had the lowest WP at some point in the game. The most exciting games, on the other hand, play on the idea that back-and-forth games are very exiciting --therefore the "excitement index" is a measure of how much the WP graph has moved over the course of a game. I love the concept of win probability in all sports, and Brian's work on the topic in football has been very interesting, so I think this feature is one of the coolest ones on his site.

Spotify has just expanded into four new markets - Taiwan, Argentina, Turkey and Greece, which sees the music streaming service blasting out tunes to 32 markets across the world.
A Spotify spokesperson confirmed to The Next Web that the site has gone live in Taiwan, and that it should be hitting the other three countries in the coming hours. As usual, it's free to use as an ad-based service. But, if you want to get some premium Spotify happening, it will set you back TW$150, or around US$5 per month.

Artist Statement
I am drawn to objects, either natural or man-made, with high contrast in texture or color, and I incorporate this aesthetic into my work. I favor simple geometric shapes and patterns and I am inspired by the jewelry and architecture of the early Art Moderne. My pieces are informed by Aboriginal, Eastern European, Inuit, North African, and South East Asian cultures.
While diverse in style and function, all of my creations can be considered objects of personal adornment. When possible I like to incorporate movement into my pieces. I use a variety of material in my work including resin, paper, metal, wood, and fabric.

1/2 teaspoon salt

About Frank Mendenhall
Frank Mendenhall was born March 14, 1948 in Camden, Alabama, and has long been based out of Washington D.C. He has issued four CD's on the small Wurst Act label: Sweet Love, 1998, Time, 1998, Hard Times, 2004, and Frank Mendenhall, 2004, but in essence the material comprises two LP'S.
Song's Transcendent Moment
"Time keeps on winding down.
1. Feb. 21, 2007. I'm hearing that dreaded phrase, "the late, great. . . ," preceding Frank Mendenhall's name when one of his songs is played on the radio. And Jerry Mason states in today's "Boogie Report": "Condolences to the Family and Fans of Frank Mendenhall, who succumbed to cancer this morning in a Mobile (Alabama) hospital." DBN.
If You Liked. . . You'll Love

My Dell laptop has a NIC and a wireless connection. I'm unable to connect to my primary Domain Controller via the NIC card. I cannot ping the primary DC, but I can ping several other servers including the backup DC. When I click the 'Network' button, I can only see 3-4 machines (out of the two dozen machines on the network). I have internet access. I tried different cables, different switches, different ports in the office and got the same result. I even removed my laptop from the domain and rejoined it. I even removed my laptop from the AD on the primary DC. I tried to update the NIC driver. I also restored to a Restore Point from last week when everything was working properly. My IP address is within the correct range.
However, when I connect to the network wirelessly, I can ping and connect to everything, like I have been able to do so in the past.

Trump, Pawlenty, and Perry Serve Up the Red Meat at North Carolina Convention
Trump's still a birther, Pawlenty's looking vice-presidential, and Perry on America's "oops" moment.
It's hard to exaggerate how important North Carolina is for President Obama's reelection. The president narrowly took the state in 2008, the first Democratic candidate to do so since Jimmy Carter in 1976, and it remains one of four "pivotal swing states" for him, according to John Heilemann's recent cover story on the Obama campaign brain. That's why this weekend's delegate convention in Greensboro, North Carolina, has been attracting a fair number of GOP heavyweights — a term we are using rather loosely, here — hoping to swing the state back into red country.
On Friday, who else but The Donald was in town to headline the opening dinner. He said:
We really have to do something. We have to do something soon. North Carolina is one of the most, if not the most, important state in terms of who's going to become the president of the United States.
Trump told the assembled crowd, who greeted him with raucous applause, to "fight like hell" to convince their friends and families to vote for Mitt Romney, according to the Greensboro News & Record. "We need a president that has business acumen," he said, and "heart." At least we know on which side of the "Is Mitt Romney a Robot?" debate Trump falls.
Naturally, there was the obligatory Trump birther moment, when he held up a document from 1991 that claims Obama was born in Kenya. (It's likely from the literary agency representing Obama at the time, which advertised him as "born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii" — a partner at the firm has since apologized for making a fact-checking error.) Trump now says he wants to see what Obama put down as his "place of birth" on his college applications, suspecting perhaps a little affirmative action gambit.
The Saturday luncheon welcomed Tim Pawlenty, former presidential candidate himself and chief Romney surrogate, whose rousing speech actually had some members of the audience wishing he'd ended up the nominee — at least one person told Buzzfeed's Zeke Miller that he even outperformed Trump. If nothing else, he's got better speechwriters than Romney, going by these Obama zingers he worked in.
You can't be pro-jobs and anti-business … that's like being pro-egg and anti-chicken.
We've got to quit running the government as an open bar.
As for Trump's questionable birtherism, Pawlenty effortlessly toed the campaign line that Romney appreciates whatever help Trump can give him but, "that doesn't mean they're going to agree on everything, but they agree on many things, or most things." He also teased us some more about his vice-presidential ambitions.
I've tried to be consistent about it and say look, I don't think the best way for me to help Mitt Romney is to be on the VP list. I think I can help him in other ways like this, being a volunteer for his campaign. But obviously anybody would be honored if asked.
Last, but never least, Texas Governor Rick Perry was on hand for last night's dinner, where he drew on the charm that totally evaded him during his disastrous candidacy to attack Obama while self-deprecatingly making fun of himself.
Three and a half years, nearly 100 rounds of golf. Barack Obama has exploded the debt in this country. He has passed a stimulus program that grew government and not the economy. He socialized health care and he armed Mexican drug cartels. Admit it America, 2008 was our national "oops" moment.
It's the closest thing to a weekend stand-up comedy tour.

On my Windows 7 system, I have a bunch of very short sound files. From their names, I have a general notion what they contain, but I need to listen to the most likely files to find out if they meet my purpose.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to listen to a file just by clicking on it in Windows explorer. Probably not practical, so I'd like a very simple audio file player that I can associate with the file type. When I double-click on the file, the player plays the file, then closes imediately.

University of Michigan head basketball coach John Beilein and guard Nik Stauskas earned the Big Ten's highest honors on Monday as the media and coaches voted them the conference's 2014 Coach of the Year and 2014 Player of the Year, respectively. The pair will continue their outstanding seasons when the Wolverines take the court on Friday during the Big Ten postseason tournament in Indianapolis.
Just the third coach in U-M program history to net this distinction, Beilein guided U-M to a 23-7 overall mark and 15-3 conference record to win the Big Ten regular season crown. The stellar campaign prompted media voters to tap him for the coaching award, which only Johnny Orr and Bill Frieder had previously taken home for the Maize and Blue.
Meanwhile, Stauskas grabbed the second consecutive Player of the Year nod for Michigan, following in the footsteps of Trey Burke last season. The sophomore standout tallied 17.4 points per game -- including 45.8 percent on three-point attempts -- 3.5 assists, and 3.3 rebounds. The attention Stauskas received wasn't limited to the Big Ten, as the Sporting News named him a second-team All-American, which the school's athletic website, MGoBlue.com, reported today.
Learn more about the Big Ten awards for Beilein and Stauskas in another MGoBlue.com article, which also spotlights the postseason accolades that fellow Wolverines Glenn Robinson III, Derrick Walton Jr., and Caris LeVert won.

Eric Gay, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The perfect score will again be 1,600. What's more, the essay will be optional, students will no longer be penalized for wrong answers and the vocabulary is shifting to do away with some high-sounding words such as "prevaricator" and "sagacious."
The SAT college entrance exam is undergoing a sweeping revision.
College Board officials said Wednesday the update — the first since 2005 — is needed to make the exam more representative of what students study in high school and the skills they need to succeed in college and afterward. The test should offer "worthy challenges, not artificial obstacles," said College Board President David Coleman at an event in Austin, Texas.
The new exam will be rolled out in 2016, so this year's ninth-graders will be the first to take it, in their junior year. The new SAT will continue to test reading, writing and math skills, with an emphasis on analysis. With the 1,600-point scale, which had been used until 2004, there will be a separate score for the optional essay. Some complicated vocabulary words will be replaced by words more widely used in classroom and work settings.
For the first time, students will have the option of taking the test on computers.
Once the predominant college admissions exam, the SAT in recent years has been overtaken in popularity by the competing ACT, which has long been considered more curriculum-based. The ACT offers an optional essay and announced last year it would begin making computer-based testing available in 2015.
One of the biggest changes in the SAT is that the extra penalty for wrong answers, which discouraged guessing, will be eliminated. And some vocabulary words will be replaced with words such as "synthesis" and "empirical" — words that are used more widely in classrooms and in work settings.
Each exam will include a passage drawn from "founding documents" such as the Declaration of Independence or from discussions they've inspired.
Instead of testing a wide range of math concepts, the new exam will focus on a few areas, like algebra, deemed most needed for college and life afterward. A calculator will be allowed only on certain math questions, instead of on the entire math portion.
Tania Perez, 17, a senior at Capital City Public Charter School in Washington, said she would like to have taken the test on a computer — and with the vocabulary changes.
"Some of the SAT words that we've seen, well personally, I've seen, taking the SAT ... I've never heard of them and stuff," Perez said. "That would have been better for me. I think my score would have been a lot higher."
Aja McCrae, 14, a freshman at Bell Multicultural High School in Washington, will be in the first class to take the new SAT. In an interview outside her high school, McCrae said taking the test on a computer could help but she wonders if there will be technical problems.
"The math portion, with a calculator, I think it should be used on the entire test. I don't like that change," McCrae said.
Jim Rawlins, the director of admissions at the University of Oregon, said the changes appear "potentially helpful and useful" but it will take a few years to know the impact, after the students who take the revised test go on to college.
"It's all in the details of how it all plays out," said Rawlins, a former president of the National Association for College Admission Counseling.
Some high school and college admissions counselors said eliminating the penalty for wrong answers and making the essay optional could make the test less stressful for some students.

NEW PALESTINE — A developer who has watched two projects fall through at the corner of CR 600W and U.S. 52 will try once more to attract a partner to build a service station and convenience store at the busy intersection.
The notion first surfaced more than a year ago when property owners Credo Investments and Dr. Trevor Lloyd-Jones sought and obtained approval to locate a Casey's General Store at the northwest corner of the intersection.
Casey's had plans for a 4,250-square-foot convenience store and fuel island at the site; however, company officials and the county highway department could not come to terms, and the project was shelved, said county planning director Mike Dale.
After that, Lloyd-Jones successfully lobbied for a zoning change on property across the street to allow a similar project at the southwest corner of the intersection.
Ricker Oil Co. had plans to expand into the New Palestine market with its own convenience store and gas station; however, that project stalled over sewer connections.
A Ricker representative was not available to comment Wednesday, but Lloyd-Jones said the company had pulled out.
Now, with prospects at the intersection dried up, Lloyd-Jones will once again appear before the county board of zoning appeals Feb. 27 to seek another special exception for the northwest quadrant.
Special exemption grants from the BZA expire after 12 months, requiring the property owner to reapply if the project does not go forward, Dale said.
"I think he's hoping to get the site somewhat shovel-ready if someone wants to come in," Dale said.
Lloyd-Jones said Wednesday he has received some general interest in the property, but nothing has been firmed up, and the prospects of landing a project probably won't improve until the land use issues are resolved.
"We're trying to get that corner going," he said. "We have some interest, but now I have to do my legwork."

Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant childhood brain tumor and high neurotrophin (NP) receptor TrkC mRNA expression was identified as a powerful independent predictor of favorable survival outcome. In order to determine downstream effector proteins of TrkC signaling, the MB cell line DAOY was stably transfected with a vector containing the full-length TrkC cDNA sequence or an empty vector control. A proteomic approach was used to search for expressional changes by two mass spectrometric methods and immunoblotting for validation of significant results. Multiple time points for up to 48 h following NP-3-induced TrkC receptor activation were chosen. Thirteen proteins from several pathways (nucleoside diphosphate kinase A, stathmin, valosin-containing protein, annexin A1, dihydropyrimidinase-related protein-3, DJ-1 protein, glutathione S-transferase P, lamin A/C, fascin, cofilin, vimentin, vinculin, and moesin) were differentially expressed and most have been shown to play a role in differentiation, migration, invasion, proliferation, apoptosis, drug resistance, or oncogenesis. Knowledge on effectors of TrkC signaling may represent a first useful step for the identification of marker candidates or reflecting probable pharmacological targets for specific treatment of MB.

RELATED: Kasich proposes $1.74B capital-spending bill
By Marc kovac
and David Skolnick
Gov. John Kasich is proposing a tax increase on fracking, along with a corresponding income tax cut directly tied to how much the state collects from new oil and gas production.
The governor also wants to consolidate more state programs, lower taxes on smaller banks, implement a comprehensive energy policy, improve job-training programs and create closer ties between private business and public education.
Those initiatives and many others are included in Kasich's midbiennium review, a lengthy bill being offered midway through the current two-year budget cycle.
The resulting legislation, at an estimated 2,000 pages, is full of policy proposals.
"Over the last 14 months, it's pretty remarkable what's been accomplished," Kasich said, adding later, "This is an ongoing process. Frankly, almost every time I turn around, I find another piece of broken Ohio, so there's so much more to do."
Kasich, a Republican, and members of his cabinet unveiled details of the budget plan Wednesday during a two-hour press conference. The Ohio House's finance committee will take up the legislation today, with extensive hearings planning in comings weeks as lawmakers work to pass the bill before breaking for the summer.
Severance taxes levied on oil and gas production from horizontal hydraulic fracturing will increase, with build-in breaks during the first year or two of operation to allow drillers to recoup their upfront costs.
The changes focus on fracking, an emerging means of extracting oil and gas by pumping large volumes of water, chemicals and sand into deep underground shale formations.
The governor also has proposed about $1 billion in income tax cuts — which represents a decrease of about 5 percent per family — over the next five years, with rates reduced in relation to the taxes collected through fracking.
"We believe that by modernizing our energy taxes, we can allow all 11.5 million Ohioans frankly to benefit ...," Kasich said. "We are going to have low taxes, at the end of the day, on energy. The question is, who benefits? Do out-of-state oil companies benefit or do Ohioans benefit by having lower income taxes."
He added, "Every dime of the modernized severance tax would go into a dollar-for-dollar income tax cut."
Some Democratic state legislators from the Mahoning Valley support Kasich's proposal to increase taxes for fracking but question why the money would be used for what they call minor tax cuts for residents.
The state's income tax was cut by 21 percent between the mid-2000s and the beginning of 2011.
"I have issues with the policy," said state Rep. Ronald V. Gerberry of Austintown, D-59th. "I'm glad we're going to raise revenue, but there shouldn't be a tax cut when we continue to have trouble with funding for local governments and public schools. Because of the cuts, governments and schools have had to ask for tax levies so people aren't saving money."
Kasich had legislation passed last year to cut the Local Government Fund, a major source of revenue for government entities such as cities and counties, by 25 percent in the first year and an additional 25 percent the next year.
Assistant Minority Senate Leader Joe Schiavoni of Canfield, D-33rd, said he favors the additional tax on the oil and gas industry, "but I'm very, very confused and concerned that he wants to give an income tax [cut] to everyone in Ohio. People from Cincinnati, Toledo and Dayton will receive a tax cut and those in the eastern part of the state [where the drilling is focused] will have to deal with issues such as fixing roads and potential health risks."
Schiavoni favors using the proposed increased tax dollars for infrastructure improvements in the areas where drilling is happening as well as for job training and to restore local government and education funding.
State Rep. Sean O'Brien of Brookfield, D-65th, has a different thought.
"How will this tax affect the oil and gas industry?" he said. "Taxing it could have an unintended consequence of slowing it down. We need jobs."
The bill also outlines a number of energy policy changes, including many related to fracking.
The legislation splits regulatory duties for oil and gas production from shale among a half dozen state agencies. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, for example, will oversee well construction and related regulations, including requiring companies to disclose chemicals used in fracking.
Oil and gas companies will be required to prepay taxes to local governments, at a cost of $25,000 per well, to cover road repair and costs from increased truck traffic and other impacts from increased oil and gas production. Those funds would be recouped by companies over time through tax credits.
Kasich said the budget bill includes $90 million in cost savings.
If you could not find a job for a long time it is time to change your career guys.. The time is now. Be on your way to earning an accredited degree. Check out High Speed Universities and they sure find suitable career based on your interests.
Typical Democrat response. He does something they are always pushing: RAISING TAXES ON OIL, yet they still aren't happy. Typical partisan politicians.
God forbid we lower taxes on our own citizens. The remarks from Schiavoni and Gerberry leave me scratching my head. They want higher taxes on oil, but don't want tax cuts for every Ohio citizen.
Wish they had good competition to vote them out in November.
JTROLLEY When Obama wants to tax companies, he won't lower taxes for everyone like Kasich wants to do. Obama is all about taxing and then wasting the money on foreign aid to countries. that hate us, instead of here .

ConsumerTaxReports.org has specified taxpayers a single outlet for looking for tax debt assistance firms, which makes it significantly less difficult to weed through the ripoffs of the business and obtain a efficient tax debt corporation to guidance get an Internal Revenue Service solution. Go and visit the website right here! http://www.consumertaxreports.org The issue I preferred about the web page was the in-depth record of the national companies and surveys, that offer an vision of each organizations "free consultation."
It seems to me that fracking discussions ought to be focused on people in the Valley committing suicide. Some of you may be ready to meet your maker. If you're not, then look here:
Did Mr Kasich check with Grover Norquist on this move? I dont think grover would approve...
We'll see if they tax the big boys or if this just fades away. I think they should be taxed and no it won't stop them from being extremely rich don't fret.
As far as foreign countries they don't hate us so much as they hate the wealthy internationalists who are invading their countries with our boots on the ground-the same folks who are screwing us with free trade ECT.

So, how would you like to celebrate Easter a little different this year? May be with a four slices of thick fudge, three jars of gorgeously rich fudge sauce and six sachets of drinking fudge? Combined they would be worth £35.99 and you can get your hands on this gorgeous hamper, with chicks included by being one of the lucky winners that answers these two questions correctly.
But it doesn't end there. Of course most competitions have a "one entry per household" rule. Well we'll scrap that if your second entry is via twitter. You can add your bonus entry by being logged into Twitter and tweeting that you've entered and following both @chocolatereview and @fudgekitchen. It's not really much effort is it to have another chance of winning.

Here are all of the quintessential Utah experiences we just couldn't fit in our 2013 Best of the Beehive issue. Go ahead, print this out and consider it your own personal bucket list.
Bring a spa home with you
Dolphin Pools & Spas carries Bullfrog Spas, which offer just the right massage and aesthetic to match your pad. They're 100 percent wood free and some of the most energy-efficient you can get. And Dolphin's experts can thoroughly explain the JetPak technology. 4678 S. Highland Dr., SLC, 801-277-8700, dolphin-pools.com
Get an old-fashioned shave
Visit Ray's Barber Shop, a nostalgic joint with none expert barnes who provide customized haircuts for men, women and kids, as well as warm lather shaves for the guys. Since 2005, owner Ray Francom has taken pride in making his shop a pampering retreat for men. 1328 S. 2100 East, SLC, 801-583-7297, raysbarbershopslc.com
Have "Dinner at the Farm" at Rockhill Creamery
Come meet the "Girls of Rockhill"—a small herd of Brown Swiss cows who produce the milk to make Rockhill's award-winning cheese, visit the aging cave and enjoy some great cheese before enjoying wood-fired pizza from Jack and Julie Carlisle of Jack's Wood Fired Oven. It's an inimitably Utahn bucolic experience. 563 S. State St.,Richmond, 435-258-1278, rockhillcheese.com.
Eat at Red Iguana
Nearly every year, Red Iguana is the top pick of readers in our Dining Awards Readers' Choice Awards. It also holds a place in our Dining Awards Hall of Fame. The restaurant has been in the Salt Lake City community for nearly 30 years. It was started by Ramon and Maria Cardenas and immediately won the diners over. Now, run by the Cardenas' children, traditional recipes are still being served from the restaurant's kitchen. Of course, Red Iguana's popularity doesn't stop with its restaurant at 736 W. North Temple, a second location, Red Iguana 2, is open at 866 W. South Temple, SLC. 801-322-1489, rediguana.com.
Climb the giant tires at Copperton Park
Check out Bingham Canyon Mine, the largest man-made excavation in the world, and then picnic at nearby Copperton Park. Relax under a tree while your kids scale those massive mining truck tires on the playground. Aw heck, you climb them, too. 8731 W. 10305 South, Copperton, 385-468-7275
Visit Ogden's Dinosaur Park
Utah was once a dinosaur stomping ground. Triceratops, parasaurolophus and the Utahraptor (larger than the velociraptor) were the primary residents. Now, all that's left are their bones. But at Ogden's George S. Eccle's Dinosaur Park, you can see these prehistoric creatures as full-sized sculptures. More than 100 sculptures are along the park's trails. 1544 E. Park Boulevard, Ogden, 801-393-3466, dinosaurpark.org
Boggle at Kennecott Mine
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder (go with us here). And while Kennecott's Bingham Canyon Mine might look like a scab on the Oquirrh Mountains from the Wasatch Front, from space it looks pretty cool, in a crop circle kind of way. In any event, if you want your Utah passport stamped, you've got to experience it and those big ore trucks. (Closed for renovations during the 2013 season). 12800 S. Bacchus Hwy. (U-111), 801-204-2025, kennecott.com
Watch SB Dance
Brigham Young and Joseph Smith called on Mormons to eschew tobacco, booze, coffee and sexual creativity, but, thank Our Heavenly Father, the church's founders enthusiastically endorsed music and dancing. Utah has more dancing feet per capita than any other city. Still, we're not sure Brig and Joe would have been all that crazy about SB Dance. Stephen Brown's performance artists wrestle with humanity's Big Questions and don't let a little nudity or weirdness get in the way of a good time. Rose Wagner Performance Center, 38 W. 300 South, SLC, 801-583-8428, SBdance.com
See a play art Utah Shakespeare Festival
As the Bard said, "All the world's a stage, even Cedar City, Utah," or something to that effect. The proof is the Utah Shakespeare Festival, the state's Tony Award-winning production in Cedar. If "The Tempest" or "Love's Labour's Lost" doesn't turn your crank, the program also includes the musical "The Marvelous Wonderettes." June 24–Oc. 19, 800-PLAYTIX, bard.org
Visit the Folk Art Museum
In the middle of Liberty Park is a largely unknown museum, the Chase Home Museum of Utah Folk Arts, that preserves the state's folk arts collection. The museum displays the works of American Indians and the dozens of immigrant groups that have begun new lives in Utah but clung to their traditions. One of the more unusual parts of the collection pays homage to the self-sufficiency of rural life through hand-made saddles, spurs, halters and bridles to decorative art often made of recycled items that express the human need to create beauty. Liberty Park, SLC, 801-533-5760, utahfolkarts.org
Take a Gallery Stroll
Utah's art scene has been growing exponentially and pushing boundaries the last few years, with the continuing evolution of the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, Utah Museum of Fine Arts and (dare we say it?) the increasingly edgy Brigham Young University's Museum of Art. But the best way to immerse yourself in the art scene is through the Salt Lake's monthly Gallery Stroll where you'll experience the spectrum of creativity from landscapes to literally off-the-wall contemporary art at the newly established CUAC. gallerystroll.org
With all of the good comes some bad as well. Here are the Wasatch Faults we couldn't fit in the mag:
Howling at the moon
Rural Utah lawmakers decided all wolves must die—even though, as the symbol of the wild, they were extirpated in the state a century ago. They planned to give a Salt Lake-based anti-wolf group another $300,000 to in taxpayer money—with no state oversight—to lobby the federal government against reintroduction.
Pollution abatement test?
A landslide at the Bingham Mine in April cut Kennecott Copper's production by half. Presumably the governor will check to see if his favorite campaign donors' pollution levels dropped a like amount.
The good, old normal
LDS Church-owned, KSL, already renown for refusing to air Saturday Night Live, turned its nose up last fall at The New Normal, saying it has nothing to do with the sitcom's gay adoption theme. It's just too darn randy in general.
The Trib's unintentional nostalgia column
From her desk at The Salt Lake Tribune, Peg McEntee thoroughly trashes Gov. Gary Herbert's inauguration speech for general lameness only to learn she had downloaded a copy of Herbert's speech from a different year. The amazing part is that anyone was able to stay awake through either speech long enough to tell the difference.
The further decline of TV news
Under new ownership, KTVX fires the state's most dogged TV reporter, Chris Vanocur, who won a Peabody Award for breaking the 2002 Olympic corruption story. Vanocur's sin was being one of the higher paid employees at the station.
Utah Superlatives
Salt Lake City is the "Most Superficial City," according to a national study conducted by WhatsYourPrice.com. Utilizing Google Analytics, the site ranked cities according to how long members browse another person's profile. Utah is the fourth-happiest state, according to Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, and Salt Lake City is the nation's gayest city, according to The Advocate. But Thomson Healthcare from National Center for Health Statistics and Bureau of Census says Utah is the most depressed state, while the United Health Foundation calls Utah the seventh healthiest state. Utah is also the reddest state, according to Gallup, and disputed by no one.
Where's the punchline?
The lack of broad comedy at the Lege 2013 will make life difficult for Saturday's Voyeur : "This session has been much more subdued," said Sen. Curt Bramble, R-Provo, who is in his 13th session. "We haven't had the emotionally charged blow-ups we've had in the past, either on the budget or on policy discussions." Speaker Becky Lockhart, R-Provo, had another word for this year's session: "I've thought a lot about that, if boring was the right word to use. In terms of having the big controversial scandals…sorry, we couldn't provide that this year."

New ink for Selena Gomez has garnered massive social media site buzz and ultimately went viral. This happened after tattoo guru Bang Bang McCurdy permanently executed an Arabic phrase on the singer/actress' back that essentially means "love yourself first." According to E! News on July 16, Bang Bang talked to the entertainment site about the fresh flesh expression that is now the newest of Gomez' body art collection.
McCurdy told E! that the tat, which sits on Sel at her upper right side just above her bra line, was actually applied about a month ago. The "Come and Get Me" warbler was apparently a bit nervous about this getting new addition and so she brought a couple friends to join her in the inking party that took place in New York at Bang Bang's studio.
McCurdy, who retweeted an Instagram photo put up by Selena that shows an alluring shot of the artist wearing her new tat, mentioned that Gomez presented the essence of what she wanted to have put on her body before that even happened.
Bang Bang said that this particular inking is approximately four inches long and only too between 30 and 45 minutes for him to complete. The biggest challenge for this tattoo artist was where to place this particular tattoo that worked best for Selena and her sultry body.
By way of background, when Selena was 20 in 2013, she only rocked a trio of tats. She wore a low-key musical note on her wrist, the Roman numeral 76 on the back of her neck as a nod to the year of her mother's birth, and the phrase "God Who Strengthens Me,"a phrase taken from The Philippians 4:13 verse of the Bible that runs down her right hip.
That said, beyond her group of authentic tattoos, Selena Gomez also digs wearing a faux tat or two on occasion. In fact, the former Disney princess once flaunted the name of her then boyfriend Justin Bieber on her wrist when she attended a concert. However, this tattoo--much like her relationship with the superstar bad boy--was only temporary.

Axl Rose and his current lineup of Guns N' Roses will be making their Rock on the Range debut this May. While all rock fans would rejoice at seeing the original band together again; it's pretty clear by Axl's snubbing of their Hall of Fame induction that that will probably never happen. With that being said, it isn't as if he hasn't surrounded himself with a talented bunch of musicians to carry the GNR name forward.
Rose, who is one of the most prominent lead singers in rock history, really needs no introduction. With classic songs like November Rain to his credit, everyone at the festival will be anticipating quite the show from him and the rest of the band.
Long time fans of the band will probably recognize Dizzy Reed as being the only remaining member of the band from their peak years of success. Reed has been with the band since 1990 and has contributed to the group on keyboards, piano, percussion, and backing vocals.
A trio of guitar players now play the roles of former stars Slash and Izzy Stradlin. Replacing them is obviously no small feat, but DJ Ashba and Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal share lead duties and are definitely no slouches when it comes to the guitar. Richard Fortus also provides rhythm guitar for the band. Ashba formerly played with the BulletBoys, another hard rock group from the same era as GNR. Bumblefoot's prior experience also includes playing for Lita Ford while Fortus has also played with Thin Lizzy.
Tommy Stinson, formerly of Soul Asylum, now holds the bass playing duties since the departure of the legendary Duff McKagan. Gone also is Steven Adler, who has been replaced by Frank Ferrer on drums and Chris Pitman rounds out the band by contributing in several ways. He plays keys, bass, drums and even is an active song writer in the group.
The original band was formed in 1985 and exploded in 1987 with the release of Appetite for Destruction. The album was a massive hit at a time when hard rock and heavy metal were getting lost in excess. Guns N' Roses burst onto the scene by combining the sleaze of Motley Crue with the rawness of Bon Scott era AC/DC and the live energy of Aerosmith. While their joyride was relatively short lived and virtually blown up by 1994, few bands have ever reached the level of popularity in a small time frame as what GNR accomplished. As always seems to happen, the excesses of the bands that they replaced became the excesses of their own lifestyles. Egos grew, tempers flared, and in 1994 the Guns N' Roses that conquered the world were one by one dismantled. All of the members of the glory days era of the band have gone on to have successful solo careers and have formed new bands. Slash, especially has been just fine as he has forged on with Velvet Revolver and as a solo artist.
Between then and now Rose has added to his legacy. Multiple line up changes and Axl's penchant for showing up late or not at all for concerts has earned him and the new band a negative reputation. When you throw in the fact that the much hyped Chinese Democracy seemingly took 47 years to be released, a lot of fans have grown impatient with Rose or have ceased to be fans all together. I liked the album, actually, but I don't think it reached its potential because so many people refused to give it a chance after the 15 year long wait.
Hopefully with the negatives in the past, Guns N' Roses will live up to their billing as one of the headliners for America's largest rock festival at Crew Stadium. All of that lies on the shoulders of Axl and his band. The music stands up. Time hasn't softened the appeal of those old songs. If the band shows up and consistently delivers, the Guns N' Roses reputation will begin to creep back up towards the level of their music.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
Shoots of Syrrhopodon mahensis form tufts and mats, which are golden to pale-green and often tinged with traces of a vivid red.Generally, the wiry leaves are lance-like, narrowing slightly but abruptly from a short, oblong, stem-clasping basal region. They have a highly opaque, matt texture, as much of their surface is roughened by very fine microscopic lump-like projections (papillae).Towards the apex of the transparent basal region the margin of the leaf is flat and fringed by a row of short spines. In contrast, the leaf margin above the basal region is formed by a thickened rib, which is adorned with papillae and sporadic groups of sharp teeth.The general features of Syrrhopodon mahensis are similar to those in the common pantropical species Syrrhopodon gardneri and its East African relative, Syrrhopodon asper. However, none of these related species possess leaves with the fine superficial ornamentation displayed in S. mahensis.Under the influence of various environmental conditions, the leaves in different populations of this species can vary widely in their proportions. Several of these differing growth forms are dubiously recognised as named varieties.

HANOVER, Mass. — Lapels Dry Cleaning, headquartered in Hanover, Mass., has reached a five-store development agreement with Mike and Carla Lane to bring the cleaning
franchise to the greater Jacksonville, Fla., area. The first two stores are slated to open later this year.
"We're extremely excited about opening in Jacksonville as it represents Lapels Dry Cleaning's first location in Florida," says Lane, an executive in the bottling industry and Fleming Island resident. "Lapels, with its green initiative, truly represents the future of dry cleaning, and we think the response from people in Jacksonville will be tremendous."
Most recently, Lapels signed a partnership agreement with GreenEarth® for its newer locations. Using these kinds of solutions and the latest technology in equipment, Lapels is one of the few dry cleaners able to boast that there is no hazardous waste in their process, the company says.
"We're delighted to sign this agreement with Mark and Carla, as it means more than bringing an environmentally friendlier way to dry clean clothes to the area. It also means jobs," says Kevin Dubois, CEO of Lapels Dry Cleaning. "We expect to add a total of almost 50 jobs to the greater Jacksonville area as we build our 'Hub & Spokes' network."

I have just read Jerry Smetzer's My Turn (Empire, April 8, 2013) on the gun range appeal and quite frankly, don't know where to begin. There are so many inaccuracies. He postulates at great lengths on the Planning Commission's duties and scope, then sums up with restating the Planning Commission's stated position at the April 1 hearing. "Whether any CUP request is ultimately granted, or not, is a matter for the Assembly and Law, not the Planning Commission." He is right.

TC TO RALPH WALDO EMERSON ; 16 September 1856; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18560916-TC-RWE-01; CL 31: 227-228
Kinloch Luichart / Dingwall, N.B. 16 Septr 1856
Dear Emerson,
Your second Letter finds me up here, aloft among the Highland mountains (a Hunting seat of the Lord Ashburton's whither I have been tossed out of my snug Border solitude,—not1 in good hour. The mountains and lakes are very beautiful; but the storms, in the equinoctial time, are already very loud, and I can do nothing with Deer, not even eat them.— In a fortnight hence I hope to be back at Chelsea; but in the meantime will answer your magnanimous Bibliopolical Proposal2 (yours or Sampson's thro' you, is all one, in the haste I am in—just waiting for the "Skye Mail" which passes once in two days),—some word of answer or acknowledgement, not to lose more time than we can help.
I say then that the Project of Msr. Phillips Sampson & Co, so far as I in my ignorance can judge of it, seems very rational; and that, once in London, I will make farther investigation into the practical particulars, and prepare myself to say Yes or No when the time comes for that finality. Meanwhile let Msr. Phs & Sn do one thing as preliminary, Tell me how much, in current money, they will give for a Cast of those potential Stereotypes, to the extent of 2, 4, 6 or as many thousands as they wd like to purchase at once;—how much per thousand, in fact? For it would not be convenient to sell the Stereotypes otherwise, I think;—and I suppose there are ways of making certain that the user of them should be restricted to the Thousands covenanted for, & that the Plates could be put under lock and key till wanted again. Once knowing what the value per thousand from Messrs Sampson will be, and what the cost in London to myself as preliminary, I shall know the whole matter, and be able to pronounce some decision or other— — I am much ashamed to trouble you with this matter; but what can I do at the present stage of it.
Your Book is to be here tomorrow by post. You shall hear soon all the faults I have against it. An Irish Newspaper (the Nation) brought me some notice of it the other day, whh somewhat raises my interest.3 A medicinal intention, then, on the Author's part? God knows there was hardly ever such a Hospital of Lepers. More power to such a Doctor, if that is his hest!
Adieu, dear Friend; there is the Skye mail. Yours ever
T. Carlyle

District 6 candidates talk turkey about development
Three of them have extensive experience in development and construction, and the fourth is, as you will read, a lawyer who sounds as if she knows what she's talking about, real-estate-wise. They are the candidates for the District 6 Charlotte City Council seat held by Andy Dulin, a Realtor for Cottingham Chalk Hayes who is walking away from the Charlotte Mecklenburg Government Center dais after four terms.

Among other (see a post of mine) I am trying to count and add the number of bytes read/written to a disk during a minute/hour/day/... on windows. According to the Physical Disk Object documentation from microsoft (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc776376(WS.10).aspx) there is Avg. Disk Bytes/Read and Disk Reads/sec which by my understanding should multiply to the read bytes per second (on average). However, what I get is identical to Disk Bytes/sec which is explained by
Shows the rate, in incidents per second, at which bytes were transferred to or from the disk during write or read operations.
The crux is during ... operations which means actually the throughput as I understand it, and not the average.
In some other post (Tracking number of IOs to disk on Windows) the transfers/sec are mentioned, but as I understand it, this is not correct either?
Am I missing something here? Is there a way to measure what I want?

To stop children under the age of 18 from recieveing cosmetic plastic surgery procedures.
-It is unneccessary.
-It reflects the society based on artificial beauty.
-It is degrading to the children feeling the need to change themselves for everyone else.
-The patients may not fully understand the risks and future outcomes.
-219,000 cosmetic procedures were performed on minors in 2008, and we need to decrease these numbers.
-Kids everywhere are bullied, and learning to cope with it is an important lesson everyone learns.
-Turning to surgery is avoiding the real issues.
Problem on this page? Briefly let us know what isn't working for you and we'll try to make it right!

We've already talked about the waiting place. You know, that place where you bite your nails and ignore your real life and haunt your inbox for an acceptance. Where you play mind games to distract yourself, or you convince yourself that if you just don't think about it, it will happen. Or, if you do think about it, you can make it happen. The power of positive thinking, of love coming to you when you least expect it, the delusions we conjure up because the truth of how much we really do control is beyond disheartening.
Today, we're waiting for a different thing. It comes from a different place. Before, I cautioned you not to wait—a watched pot never boils—but today, with this different thing, I say hunker down. I say, keep still. Be absolutely silent. Listen.
I hate the term writer's block because it sounds like there's something in the way—an obstruction to move. People think writer's block means you've run out of ideas. I've never heard of that actually happening to anyone. (Has it happened to you? To anyone you know?) Much more often, the problem is just the opposite. There's too much. Too many things happening, too many choices, too many characters, too many things you could do with the character and not a one of them seems to fit. Or, they all seem to fit.
Or—and I think, that if you're any good, this happens to you all the time—you come to realize that what you want to write is just too big. Good writers always want to achieve more than they can. They take on more than they can handle. The good writer has dreamed up something so, so big and important and beautiful, and suddenly, everything's a mess. Suddenly, everything that you want to work—what you know should work, what has to work—everything that you love about your story or your novel or even just a particular character explodes or fizzles out or evaporates or, worse, turns back on itself—the story begins to fight itself.
First thing, don't panic.
Second, wait. Wait, but don't do nothing. Instead of moving forward, move downward. I mean, dig. Dig under what you have there, see what's beneath it. Deepen. Sit still and ponder. Take a break. Do not be anxious, do not be in a hurry, but do be diligent. Be thorough. Be exact. Do not waver, do not settle. Just wait.
Take a deep breath. You're okay. The answer--the next sentence or word or chapter--will come.

K-State fans are invited to an open house for the new West Stadium Center, as the new 215,000 square-foot facility will be open to fans from 6-8 p.m. on Friday.
The tour will begin outside Gate B, as fans will be directed onto the north Goss Family Terrace, into the Ahearn Fund Student-Athlete Lounge and Performance Table and then up to the West Stadium Club Level.
Once in the Club Level, fans can head up the stairs to the Loge Level and then back down toward the concourse. Parking on the west side of the facility will be open.
Fans may also visit the stadium concourse to view the Tami Borck Hall of Fame display, Ring of Honor and Hall of Honor displays. For security reasons, the suite and press levels will be closed.
