Defense is very bad, still wish we only had one of Inge or Peralta. Not sure how we get to Valverde yet either. The potential with Zumaya, Perry, Schlereth, etc. is exciting but a lot could go wrong there too.
Make or break for Dombrowski. This team needs to make the playoffs if Ilitch is willing to shell out the big bucks to attract talent.

A look at the future
Jacob Turner.... Sure sounds good to me.
Turner's fastball has well above-average velocity at 93-96 mph, and the pitch plays up from there due to some natural boring action and highly advanced control for a pitcher so young. He'll flash a plus classic over-the-top curveball, and has refined his changeup to the point where it projects to be at least an average pitch down the road. He has the size and athleticism that scouts look for in a power pitcher, and his arm action is sound.

Hopefully Ricky P is still around, too. I have some high hopes for that kid, as we all do.

I guess I don't hate this too much but, I would definitely like to see him actually be available the entire season. Here is hoping but I will certainly not hold my breath. His health can go a long long way in the back end of the bullpen with Benoit and Papa Grandè.

Armando designated for assignment
Pretty much what I was thinking they would do with him. He could prove to be invaluable at some point during the season as it is tough to go a whole year without one of the 5 members of the rotation getting nicked up. I think they made the right choice here.

Less than a week after signing Armando Galarraga to a one-year deal, the Tigers traded the right-hander to the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for minor-league right-hander Kevin Eichhorn and left-hander Ryan Robowski, according to Sports 620 KTAR-AM's John Gambadoro.

Obviously, not surprising. I assumed he'd go for draft picks; but sending a roller coaster pitcher to Arizona worked once - maybe it'll work again.

My tails on the line, Daves is on the line, Leyland said Thursday at Comerica Park as the team started its winter tour across the state, a few weeks before spring training. We all know that.

omewhere between the chaos of free-agent signing season and the warm, comfortable sensation that accompanies the phrase "pitchers and catchers are due to report," there lies the quiet bustle of the Major League Baseball winter caravan. It's a time for players, coaches, broadcasters and the manager to pile into a van and drop by the Rotary Club or mall and give fans reason to feel good about spending their hard-earned cash on tickets.
The Detroit Tigers kicked off their 2011 winter caravan last week with a two-day, 37-stop whirlwind that included visits to Children's Hospital of Michigan, the General Motors plant in Flint and the Hausbeck Pickle and Peppers factory in Saginaw.
Long before the Tigers served as celebrity crew members at the McDonald's in Rochester Hills, general manager David Dombrowski was hearing upbeat reviews of the team's offseason activity.
"Just going around town and living here, the reaction to what we've done has been very positive," Dombrowski said. "People feel really good about it. But you better be good if you're going to win our division."

Miggy:2011 Prediction: .310, 30 HR, 120 RBI, .924 OPS
Inge:2011 Prediction: .240, 12 HR, 70 RBI, .720 OPS (Hmm, right on par I guess)
A Jack:2011 Prediction: .278, 7 HR, 36 RBI, .722 OPS
Basically, it is all about pitching with this team as it is with most. If our bullpen can hold up (Zumaya) and the starting 5 can be what they look like on paper, could be an interesting season at the CoPa. Is it April yet??? Geeeeezzzzzz

Well we do need the insurance so he should come back imo.
Tom Gage just twittered that the Tigers are open to bringing back Bonderman with a minor-league contract, now that Galarraga is gone. Not exactly earth-shattering news (or even surprising), but it makes me wonder whether something official is afoot, with Gage making public comment about it. Yankees were rumored to be interested, but I haven't heard anything in a few weeks on that.

Give yourself a grade in air quality
Give yourself a grade in air quality
All the hype surrounding methane emissions, greenhouse gases, and odors have left most of our brains spinning. It isn't uncommon for us to think, "Ok, so what am I supposed to do?" In addition, regulations on volatile organic compounds, methane, and ammonia are not being imposed in all areas of the country or on all farms. Wendy Powers of Michigan State University recently educated us on a practical new tool that allows all farms to give themselves a progress report on how they are doing in the area of air quality. She presented the tool to participants at the Penn State Dairy Nutrition Conference currently being held in Grantville, Pa.
The assessment takes 30 minutes or less, won't require much data gathering, doesn't give you a score, and isn't traceable. What it does do is evaluate your practices and identify areas of opportunity for improvement on your specific farm. You aren't given bonus points for having a brand new farm or certain types of housing. It simply helps you understand how you can do better with what you do have.
The first step is to go to http://naqsat.tamu.edu. From here, select 'dairy'. At this point, the assessment goes through eight key areas on your farm that relate to air quality. These areas include animals and housing, feed and water, collection and transfer, manure storage, land application, moralities, on-farm roads, and perception. Within each section, several questions are asked to help identify your air quality strengths and weaknesses.
At the completion of the eight areas, click on 'get results'. Your results page will show a matrix of white and green bars for six divisions of air quality in relation to the eight key areas that you answered questions about. They include odor, particulate matter, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, methane, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The more white shown in each bar means greater opportunity for improvement. The more green, the less you can improve. Your results can be viewed at any point in the assessment, so if you don't have time to work through all eight areas, just do one to try it. Once you view your results, feel free to go back and adjust your answers to see how your practices may be improved. At the bottom of the screen, copy your results to do a side-by-side comparison of progress you have made.

Bayfield resident Kenneth Joseph Watson died of arteriosclerotic disease Wednesday, Sept. 26, 2012, at his home. He was 66.
Mr. Watson was born to Eva and Kenneth Watson Sr. on Nov. 28, 1945, in Dayton, Ohio. His family soon moved to California, where his father taught at California Polytechnic University in San Luis Obispo. The family moved in 1952 to San Jose in Northern California, where Mr. Watson grew up and attended school.
After graduating from high school, Mr. Watson attended San Jose State University before enlisting in the Army and serving in the Special Forces. He was stationed in Panama, teaching jungle warfare to military personnel preparing to go to Vietnam.
While in Panama, he married his wife, Sherri, in the late 1960s. The marriage later ended in divorce.
After his military service, Mr. Watson returned to San Jose with his young family, where he worked and lived. He was in sales, with a product line of paints and chemicals.Mr. Watson enjoyed backpacking throughout the West, and on one of his journeys he "discovered his paradise" in Bayfield, his family said.

Transcript of Interview:EPISODE #3: ATOM EGOYAN ON FENG YI TING FULL TRANSCRIPT
[show opening]Hello dear listeners, and welcome to the Spoleto Spotlight podcast, brought to you by the Post and Courier. Im Andrew Johnson, and this is a special bonus episode of the show. If youve been reading The Post and Courier, you may have seen the Q&A with Atom Egoyan that was published today. He is the director of Feng Yi Ting, which is a Chinese opera premiering at Spoleto this year. The version in the newspaper, however, just contained a few highlights of my interview with him, not the full interview itself, so thats what this bonus episode of the podcast is for. The full interview was a little over 20 minutes long and Im going to play it for you in a second. But first, let me give you a little bit of background information on Atom Egoyan and Feng Yi Ting. Atom Egoyan is primarily known as a filmmaker. Hes directed over a dozen films, including Exotica, Where The Truth Lies, and most recently Chloe. He was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Director for his 1997 film The Sweet Hereafter. And Feng Yi Ting is not his first venture into the world of opera, as youll hear him talk about in just a minute. Hes directed performances of Salome, the Rings Cycle, and many more operas. Feng Yi Ting was composed by Guo Wenjing and is based on the ancient Chinese historical tale of a beautiful maiden named Diao Chan who uses her beauty to inspire a rivalry between a warlord and his godson. I apologize if the audio quality of this interview is at times a bit sub-par, it was not conducted with Egoyan in person, it was done over the phone. And I should warn you that about two-thirds of the way through the fire alarm in his hotel went off, which led to a brief but humorous interruption. But dont worry, thats been edited down. So, without further ado, heres Atom Egoyan on Feng Yi Ting.
[musical interlude]Well, I guess just to get started: People wouldnt normally think to associate you with Chinese opera.
[laughs] Strange.So to start out, what drew you to this project and how did you get involved?
Well, I have been directing operas since the mid-90s. I actually wrote an opera also in the mid-90s called Elsewhereless, which presented thirty performances throughout Canada. My introduction is really through Salome, which I was proposed to do for the Canadian Opera Company after the artistic director, the late Richard Bradshaw, saw Exotica, a film I made in 1994, and thought that the person who made Exotica would be fascinated by the themes of Salome -- the ideas of voyeurism and suppressed desire and perverse sexuality and all sorts of other great things that were thrown into the mix. I listened to it and it was completely transformative. I had read Oscar Wildes play but never imagined the effect it would have when it was set to music, and especially Richard Strauss revolutionary music. The score for Salome really changed the whole course of 20th century music. That was just an amazing experience and Ive been doing it since then.
Ive been since that time involved with a couple world premieres including Gavin Bryars Dr. Oxs Experiment in London for English National Opera. I was involved with the first Canadian production of the Ring Cycle, directing Die Valkyrie, remounting Salome for the Houston Grand, and all sorts of other theatrical experiences. And actually its one of those theatrical experiences that led me to this. I had been invited by the Gate Theatre in Dublin to present a short play by Samuel Beckett of my choice, and I actually went to one of the plays that he wrote for television and did a theatrical adaptation [It was] experimental, but we had Michael Gambon playing the lead and it was very well received. It moved to the West End in London for a run, and then I was invited to the Lincoln Center in New York for the Festival. Michael couldnt come. He was replaced by Liam Neeson. It was a huge success, it was a couple of years ago, and Nigel Redden, who was the director of the Lincoln Center Festival and also programmed for Spoleto, invited me to have a look at Feng Yi Ting. So thats a very long answer for a simple question but thats how I ended up being presented with this. And I listened to it and I just thought -- actually in my introduction I make certain parallels between the themes of Salome and Feng Yi Ting. Theyre not entirely dissimilar in terms of this idea of a femme fatale, of someone whos in some ways carrying out a plan and questioning the role of male authority.
I do want to touch on that a little bit more in a second. When I think about your work directing both operas and film, I dont associate you with China. Is this the first time youve worked with a project thats so inherently grounded in Chinese culture?
Yes. I think Ive certainly spent time in Hong Kong, in Taiwan, but never on mainland China. Ive really never immersed myself in a piece of Chinese mythology, and certainly as Im working with these singers, Im just so excited. The learning curve is extraordinary. I mean, Im working with people who come from a very specific tradition who never really worked in a Western tradition of dramatic presentation, and Im working with these people who -- I have ideas but Im learning so much from what theyre offering and its been so exciting. I actually think its one of the best theatrical experiences Ive ever had because its an unusual piece and what the composer has done is that hes presented the vocal lines in a very classical way. The singers are actually singing what they would actually sing in Beijing or Szechuan opera houses that they come from, but its the orchestral line thats very different and modern. And also our interpretation, how were actually visualizing it. And theyre very game, theyre just so excited to be doing and responding what Im proposing, and Im certainly thrilled by what theyre proposing, their gestures, their sense of play. Its just very unique and unusual.
So yes, it is a huge learning curve. I think that Im very aware of Chinese cinema. I know all the great traditions and the different schools actually now, we have different schools of Chinese art and filmmakers. Ive seen all their films at various festivals and have really enjoyed their work over the past couple decades, but Ive never been remotely close to the world of Chinese opera. I dont think many people here have. From what I understand this might be the first presentation of a new Chinese opera in North America.
I get that impression as well. Ive been to Beijing a few times and I know a little bit about Chinese opera, but I dont think its very commonly read about here in the United States. I know that in traditional Chinese opera, the female roles were traditionally played by male actors. Is that the case with Feng Yi Ting as well?
No, as a matter of fact, what people might find surprising is that the male voice is actually falsetto. Thats its closest Western equivalent, I suppose. Its in a very high register, so it sounds almost like a female voice. When I first heard it I thought there were two women singing. So its fascinating.
Now, whats interesting, I have to say, is that the vocal range is, Ive heard it before in Armenian folk music, where you also have these kind of very high almost nasal sounds and if you subscribe to the idea that Armenia is Asiatic, which they self-identify, maybe theres some bizarre link. Theres something artificial about it, but very haunting as well. Especially when combined with the gestures and when its combined with the play and the dance of it all. Have you seen Chinese opera in Beijing?
I went to one, you know, they basically still just did it for the tourists. And of course Ive seen a lot of Chinese films like Farewell My Concubine and some of those films that deal with Chinese opera. Its such a distinct type of performance. There really is no Western equivalent that I can think of.
No, and one of the things that I found disturbing when I was watching archival videos is that its very simply presented. I mean, the costumes are elaborate, the gestures are elaborate, but in terms from a staging perspective theres very little dramatic lighting or what we would identify as dramatic lighting. Its very broadly lit. Not much set. And I do think theres weirdly enough probably more familiarity with the idea of Chinese propaganda opera that happened after the revolution, right? Weve all seen images of that, the flags being strewn across stage, and the workers, and that in some ways is more in our consciousness I think in the West than this form which is obviously much older. So it has been a real learning curve.
To prepare in terms for how you were going to direct your actors, did you study old opera singers like Mei Lanfang and some of those classical
I looked for everything I could. More than anything, I was looking at their work, their specific work. Shen Tiemei is a huge star in China, so I was trying to get a sense of what her persona was about. From the very first rehearsal I said look, I want to watch you, because they had performed this role in concert and they know these characters. Certainly there was a very strong concept that this work is based on. I mean, both the clash between old and new and her presence being-- a modern presence as being a traditional one, different types of projection systems from traditional theatrical ideas to the new sort of technology. All of this was prepared, but before I actually started directing them I wanted to watch them, so we had them just perform.
I just felt it would be very presumptuous to tell them to move this way or that way when they have a whole tradition that Im not aware of, really. And I wanted them to explain what the gestures meant to get a sense of the vocabulary, which is really specific. There are certain moments where I might have an interpretation from a Western perspective of how Diao Chan is reacting to something, but the psychology of it is wrong, its just not how that character is reacting. I had to listen to the music and I had to watch their gestures to reorient myself to what that scene means. It would be very arrogant to impose a completely Western concept of what the psychology of the work is referring to. So that has been very important to establish these very complex ideas.
Very often when Im directing opera Im working with singers who have done a role before and I have to kind of break that down and get them to do it the way I have in mind because I dont want them to stage their Salome or their Sigmund in the way they normally do it. I have to use my first contact with them to re-block it in their mind, and I feel I have the ability to do that because Im very familiar with the tradition theyre coming from. This wasnt the case with Feng Yi Ting. I needed to see what they saw in these characters and to understand what that meant and very carefully suggest other ideas and see how they responded.
Youve said that film directing is a much lonelier discipline than directing plays for theater. Where does opera fall into the mix in terms of the loneliness of your responsibility?
I think its even more collective than traditional theater because youre also working with musicians, of course, and a conductor. Were all part of this huge soup. The alchemy between all of these different components is something that were immediately aware of as were exploring. Once you bring those musicians in and youre working with all of your cylinders firing, then its completely open, there it is. Theres nothing to hide behind. Theres no other point like a film where youll fix something in the editing or youll add music to it or youll take away a scene or youll structure it this way. Its there. Theres no different take to select, theres no way of cutting it internally so that youre avoiding things. Its all present on stage and thats what makes it so exciting. Thats what makes the live performance of theater and opera something that will never ever really diminish in our culture, even though film viewing and the way we watch films and the fact that cinema arguably in decline and were now watching things on iPads
Were not as engaged, were not as concentrated on the projected image as we used to be by any means and thats disheartening. But on the other hand, I walk into a theater, I go wow, Im connected to a tradition that goes back to ancient Greece. People are coming to this space and they expect to see something which is going to speak about their experience and that they can understand and relate to and when you then combine that with something as unusual as this music, as this story, the fact that its being presented in Spoleto, thats amazing. Thats exactly what a festival should do. It should try and plug us into different theatrical experiences and generate completely unique and rare moments of contact between cultures.
Because, as you mentioned, people are becoming so disconnected from film and from the cinema due to all these technological shifts, do you find yourself drawn more to theater and operatic projects now? It seems like for the past few years thats what youve mainly been focusing on.
Im very happy doing them. I must say. I love film. Its really whats given me these opportunities, I have no illusions about that. If I wasnt well-known as a film director I wouldnt have had these opportunities come my way. And yet I began in theater. I was doing plays in school and when I was in my late teens/early twenties I thought that was my career, that I would be writing plays and directing plays. So to come back to it now has been really satisfying. Its funny, I was just talking about this with my wife, when I came back from these first rehearsals of Feng Yi Ting I just went wow, I cant imagine anything more satisfying than doing this. Its very nourishing having contact with these other artists and musicians. You do get elements of that in film, obviously, and I love working with my composer Mychael Danna and I love those recorded sessions in that space. But at that point the drama is pretty much fixed. Youre not going to change a film performance because of the way the music is recorded, but this is constantly in flux. And all sorts of group gradations and all sorts of recalibrations are at work in every live performance, every rehearsal. Thats unique to the theatrical form.
You mentioned earlier that the story of Diao Chan does explore some similar themes to those of your films in terms of history, sexuality, betrayal. Is that something that you consciously recognized before you went into the project?
No, Im always fascinated by the notion of role play and the performative aspect of desire and attraction, and thats certainly at the core of this piece. And I feel that the reading that this production is giving is very accurate to the core of what the story is, and certainly in conversation with the singers theyre excited about this take on it. I hope its not something that Im imposing artificially. I think the piece needs a strong concept. It has challenges, I mean most of its very expository, shes telling us the story. Dramatic tension is not what we would normally expect in a Western opera, so we needed to find a way of underlying that. Of course that means it becomes very identified with a certain set of obsessions I have, but I think in this case they are in keeping with what the composer intended and what the unknown writer did.
I mean, this is coming from a very ancient text, but you look at these ancient stories and they have extraordinary meanings for us now. There are these questions that people have always asked about certain aspects of human behavior and dramatists have always explored -- notions of fidelity, notions of honor, notions of how to deal with desire, the disengagement of the rational self in the face of desire. Thats all fascinating, and certainly I think has ripples with this as well.
A lot of your work frequently explores that paradox of female sexuality and how women can be both victims of sexual oppression while also exercising their own sexual power. How did that theme influence how you chose to direct Feng Yi Ting?
Well, I think youve just sort of said what the whole opera is about.
Thats in many ways the essence of the story.
Yeah, it really is the essence of the story. I mean, this is a plot thats been told to her by her godfather but she takes a particular relish in executing it. Its fascinating because we dont really see that male figure. Im trying to visually represent this triangle of men between the godfather and Lu Bu and Zhuo Dong, but its really about her. She is the central and perhaps the only complex character in the piece.
I read an interview that you did with the BBC a few years ago in which you said that in many of your films theres arguably this sense of coldness but that music can really help to reveal this well of emotion beyond what the audience sees. Have you brought that same approach to opera?
Well the great thing about opera is that you start with that, you start with music. I think that often when Im directing
[sudden beeping]Is that the fire alarm?
Yeah, do you want to call back in five minutes?
Sure, not a problem.Okay, great, thanks. Bye.
[hang up][musical interlude]
[phone ringing]Well the hotels burning, but lets finish the interview.
You were talking a little bit about the idea of music being able to convey a depth of emotion that might not otherwise be communicated visually.
In making a film theres this sense that there are emotions -- especially in my earlier work where things were suppressed or things were not explicit and space was given for music and that was a very important part of those films. And yet there was always something that I was imagining and that I couldnt really find until months after I was shooting. But in opera youre starting with that. Its amazing to listen to this music and to think of whats happening. Its amazing to listen to the last part of the first act of Die Walkure and an incredible erotic energy that Wagners able to create. What do you do visually? Or what does it formally do? Its just so enthralling, really. And this music is just exceptional. The music is just so colored and so full of nuance and evocation and its beautiful. Its designed to be interpreted, right? Its set up that way.
Because you have experience in directing in all of these different mediums, how has your experience directing film affected your experience directing opera and theater and vice versa?
I dont know if the two necessarily work well together. I think when I look at how opera has influenced my approach to film Im not sure if its been a good thing. The film I was doing at the time of the Ring Cycle was Where The Truth Lies and we used this really big orchestral score and I kept it really loud and I was just so theres even a reference I think at one point to the two characters who are entertainers saying, We were gods. I was trying to directly import this sort of sense of space that they inhabited which was very different from where mere mortals were, and the score was just so pronounced. And I look at that film now and I go thats odd, those were odd choices to have made. But I was coming off this extraordinarily powerful experience of Wagners music and trying to import that into my filmmaking practice, and maybe it wasnt a smart thing to do.
Its also interesting when you look at a film like Felicias Journey, theres an actual moment where he stumbles across Rita Hayworth playing Salome in a hospital -- Bob Hoskins whos this serial killer -- and it opens up his memory to this very horrific moment in his childhood. And the music at that point becomes very atonal and very jagged and dissonant. When you hear that sort of tradition of music applied in film, it actually comes across a little bit like a cheesy horror movie, right? It doesnt have the same effect as when you watch it on the stage. So its made me uneasy, the way these things influence each other. That being said, I do think that when Im on stage as a director I think very quickly. You dont have a lot of rehearsal time, youre really having to make decisions very quickly, so all of the muscles that you use on a film set are very helpful. But this shows different because there are projections, theres a lot of material and theres a very obvious film reference at one point and Im excited by that. Im not quite sure if Ill keep it -- Ill have a better idea as the rehearsals proceed -- but it is perhaps a production where you can see my influence as a filmmaker a little more clearly.
Well, getting back to what you were saying about the multimedia aspect of Feng Yi Ting, it seems sort of appropriate to me that you would use a lot of projection and multimedia technology in your approach to it just because thats a common theme of your work that idea that technology influences how we approach history.
Well in this case theres a clash. Much as Han Feng the brilliant costume designer has created this clash between her modern costume and his very traditional one, Im using kind of ancient projection systems in terms of shadow play and almost child-like machines on stage which are creating a light box effect, with very advanced computer generated approaches to the subtitling and other sort of aspects. So its all to do with this notion of the two traditions confronting each other and creating a new space.
Well, just to wrap up, when you think about Feng Yi Ting and how its going to premiere at Spoleto, what are you hoping that audiences will take away from this performance?
Well, hopefully they wont be thinking about me. Hopefully theyll be thinking about the singers first and foremost because thats at the core of opera, what the singers are doing. If youre thinking about the director then somethings not right. If youre thinking about the director something is definitely out of whack because the most primary experience of the opera is the phenomenon of hearing the human voice extended to that extent. And in this piece we are going to hear a vocal technique that as Westerners we are not aware of. Its going to sound unworldly and odd, and that should be the first thing youre struck by, and hopefully the production cradles that and is able to help add to what will be an unforgettable evening of theater.

Why know where all your money goes? This lesson will inspire you to take this course and find out the answer! In this lesson, we'll talk about why anyone would want to set up a Spending Plan. We'll also discuss the difference between the Planning Mindset and the I Want It Now Mindset, as well as the ways that either mindset affects your everyday life. We'll look at lifestyles and how people usually choose them unconsciously. Then you'll find out how to examine yours, and whether you want to make any changes. We'll also discuss The Black Hole of Monthly Payments: what it is, how it works, and why you'll want to learn how to avoid it. This lesson is the foundation of all of the ones that follow, because it will get you excited to learn why to get control of your own money.
In this lesson, you'll begin the work of tracking your money by learning how to create a Net Worth Statement. We'll look at how your personality affects your attitude towards money, and how to manage money in marriage and relationships. Then we'll discuss why you should set some goals for yourself, and you'll work on writing your own financial Wish List.
This lesson begins with a discussion about the importance of your checkbook. We'll discuss various banking topics like ATM transactions and debit cards, and how to choose the best bank account for you. Then we'll delve into how to create a Mail Station and a Bill Paying Station as a place to organize yourself for paying your bills. We'll also cover how to keep all of your paperwork—from what to save to how to create a filing system.
This lesson is the backbone of good money management. You'll learn how to balance your checkbook and how this task affects all of your money issues. We'll also take a look at keeping track of your credit card statements.
In this lesson, we'll examine that enemy to financial freedom: debt. We'll look at how to know if you're in debt trouble, and you'll compile your own personal debt list. We'll also discuss tax debt, and then most important, we'll examine how to best pay debt off. Finally, you'll work on prioritizing your debt so you know what to pay off first.
In this lesson, it's time to look at your spending habits and where you've been spending your money. You'll create a list of expense categories, and then create a Historical Costs Worksheet to examine where your money has been going. We'll also discuss how to keep a cash log to track where your cash gets spent. Very few people know the answer to this! But you will after completing this lesson and its assignments.
In this lesson, we'll get into planning how to change the way you manage your money, which begins with drafting your first Spending Plan. We'll discuss how a Spending Plan works, and we'll look at how to create one using your Historical Costs Worksheet as a base. Then we'll compare your figures with standard guideline percentages to see where your Spending Plan might be off.
Now it's time to set up some detail about how to work your Spending Plan. You'll start by learning how to create a Bill Paying Plan. This will show you what bills to pay when. We'll also discuss getting an allowance (like a lot of us had as children) and how this will help you to manage your spending.
In this lesson, we'll go to the heart of how to really use your Spending Plan with the Envelope System. We'll examine what it is, how it works, and why it's superior to other methods of budgeting. All of the other lessons build up to this one.
In this lesson, we'll look at the guts of the Envelope System and examine it in detail. This is the nitty-gritty, how-to lesson that pulls together everything you've done so far.
Today we'll discuss some temptations to overspending, including your personal spending weaknesses, keeping up with the Jones, housing and transportation issues, and teaching kids about money. If you're not careful, these things can pull you off track.
In this last lesson, we'll look at why and how to save, and how to best use your savings account. We'll explore stocks, bonds, mutual funds, retirement accounts, and saving for college. And you'll review your Wish List now that you've learned how to better handle your money. At the end of this lesson and this course, you'll be able to confidently answer the question "Where Does All My Money Go?" And you'll experience the freedom that comes from not worrying about money any more!

He's ready to serve, he's been wanting to serve, but when will Britain's heir apparent serve?
That is the question that has dogged Prince Charles practically his entire 64 years. But now, with his mother, Queen Elizabeth, slowing down at 87 (yet with no intention of abdicating), and his son Prince William and daughter-in-law, Kate, keeping the spotlight on the monarchy blazing hot, Charles discusses the issue of succession and other personal matters in an exclusive new cover story for Time.
Of his unique role in the world, Charles tells the magazine's Catherine Mayer, "I've had this extraordinary feeling, for years and years, ever since I can remember really, of wanting to heal and make things better. … I feel more than anything else it's my duty to worry about everybody and their lives in this country, to try to find a way of improving things if I possibly can."
Titled "The Forgotten Prince," no doubt in light of William and Prince Harry's celebrity and even 3-month-old grandson Prince George's swiftly rising star, the article presents the royal as unsurprisingly staid, yet thoughtful, proactive and as delightfully proud of his sons and new grandson as any older relative would be.
"Much of what you think you know about the prince is wrong," writes Mayer, who describes him as, contrary to popular belief, "not itching to ascend the throne, but impatient to get as much done as possible before, in the words of one member of his household, 'the prison shades' close" – which will force him to ease up on the work he loves, tending to his charities, initiatives and causes.
His concerns have been, and primarily remain, what's ahead for the planet, "everything from climate change to community architecture, integrated medicine to interfaith relations," writes Mayer, noting that Charles describes the earth as "this miraculous entity floating around in space that is linked with the extraordinary harmony of the universe."
Yet, personalizing his perspective, Charles sums up how he frets about the future by pointing to one person in particular: his new grandson.
George, says the prince, is "what this is all about."
The story also acknowledges the public-relations disaster that was Charles's marital breakup with Princess Diana, as well as notes that Britons are no longer upset with his second wife, Camilla. It further reports that the prince has found happiness late in life with his "wonderful wife" (Charles's words) and "thriving sons and baby grandson" (Time's words).
Finally, about that decade-old rumor that the crown shall skip over Charles and pass directly on to the head of William, it is suggested that Charles's old-fashioned conservation instinct would have him leaving the order of succession just as it is.
"If you chuck away too many things," he tells Time, "you end up discovering there was value in them."

Thanks for the reply Chris. I am confused as to why changing the refresh cycle wouldn't be the simple fix the to problem. Isn't that how long a slave is supposed to wait before it contacts the master to see if updates are available? If so, then that is why mine wasn't working (it was set for 7 days).
I have two slave servers. One is on the same network segment as the master and the other is at a remote site. The firewalls are configured to forward DNS traffic to the correct servers and everything seems to be working now that the values are much lower.
My SOA does show the master BIND server name (which is resolvable on both slaves).
Thanks again for your help and any other advice you have.
Chris Buxton <email@example.com> wrote: The refresh, retry, and expire timers shouldn't matter as long as
notify is working.
BTW: Don't set expire as low as refresh, or you risk having your
slave take itself offline for no reason. In most cases, expire should
be at least a week, regardless of refresh and retry.
Your problem is that DNS Notify is not working. This can be hidden by
setting refresh and retry to very low values, but it's better to
figure out why notify is not working.
Are your servers behind a NAT firewall, on private addresses? That
will often cause notify to fail, since the master will notify the
slave's public address, but the NAT server can't handle internal-to-
internal communication through NAT'd addresses. This can be worked
around by setting also-notify in your zone statements, listing the
slave server.
Are your zone's NS records correct? Does your SOA show your master
server as the mname, or the slave? The master will not notify the
server listed by the SOA as the zone's master.

Home Theater Shack has just released their review of the Epic Grand Master On-Wall Home Theater Speaker System. The system earned a Home Theater Shack Reviewer's Choice Award!
Reviewer Dale Rasco critiqued the system, saying:
"In my opinion, the Axiom on-wall series provides a rich audio presentation combined with a sleek and modern look without sacrificing overall fidelity. They are the perfect blend of fit, function and finesse while still being financially viable for the average enthusiast."
Also included in the review are direct comparisons between the sound of the on-walls vs his larger Epic 80 – 800 set up, and what happened when things really started to get rocking, during a listening session with Symphony X.
The system was reviewed in Vermont Maple Custom Vinyl, earning Rasco the coveted "Better Half Approval Vote". To see pictures of the system, click on the images below.

Item Description
Celebrating their 18th year as a band, Scotland's Old Blind Dogs continue to distinguish themselves as vital, innovative ambassadors of traditional music. Subtly and ingeniously expanding upon the very traditions that they celebrate, they harness the resonance and timeless themes of British Isles roots music (the songs and tunes of their native Scotland in particular) and weld them to new rhythmic frameworks, dynamic arcs, and textural expanses, producing a uniquely identifiable sound that reflects the rich heritage of their forefathers yet comes across as resoundingly fresh and immediate.

See this:2 Guns
Some couples are just so gosh darn likable, you want to see them together all the time. I'm not saying Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington should drop their wives for each other – though I'm pretty sure there'd be a PEOPLE cover in it for them if they did – but they might want to consider a movie marriage. With the easy chemistry and natural swagger they bring to the film, 2 Guns could be a whole new franchise.
Based on Steven Grant's testosterone-heavy graphic novel of the same name, 2 Guns pits Navy intelligence officer Michael Stigman (Wahlberg) against DEA agent Bobby Trench (Washington). The hitch is that they have no idea that they're both undercover for Uncle Sam. That becomes a problem when a sanctioned op to relieve some drug dealers of a few bucks lands the fellas in a $43 million hole, setting the traffickers, various government agencies and a random psychopath named Earl (a delightfully venomous Bill Paxton) on their tail.
It's no shock that a movie called 2 Guns is violent (Earl has a particular penchant for torture), but it is a surprise that it's so funny. Stigman can't help winking at every woman he sees, while Trench has a warier, more street-smart vibe. The combination is broadly entertaining – you just want to hang out with these dudes when they're not ducking bullets or blowing up diners.
It's also a blessed relief that there's nary a giant robot, terrorist attack or superhero with existential issues in the film's 109 minutes. Director Baltasar Kormákur instead delivers a movie that revels in how circumscribed this world is, not to mention one that's patently ridiculous (though never dumb) – an homage to classic buddy-cop movies that's just as heavy on the grit as it is on the humor. That said, the film takes itself so lightly, it won't leave a deep impression. But the feeling is great while it lasts. – Alynda Wheat
Skip that:The Smurfs 2
Anyone with a basic grasp of math has always found the ratio of male to female Smurfs a little troubling. The Smurfs 2, the latest entry in the summer onslaught of animation sequels, further darkens this questionable legacy by revealing that Smurfette wasn't even born a Smurf. This blue man group's lone femme apparently was created by Gargamel as a kind of golem designed to infiltrate and destroy them who only later became endowed with Smurfiness. That means Smurfette, brought to squeaky life by the voice of Katy Perry, now has two personality traits: 1. She's a girl, and 2. She's inherently evil.
In this outing, she is largely a self-pitying damsel in distress, the victim in a kidnapping scheme that will culminate in Gargamel stealing the Smurfs' magical essence. Or at least that is what he keeps explaining to his cat, Azrael. Played by both the pixels that constitute our main characters and an actual cat (and voiced by cartoon legend Frank Welker), the clumsy tabby provides one of The Smurfs 2's chief pleasures. Unfortunately, like most other creatures in a film entirely too reliant on slapstick violence, poor Azrael takes enough bonks on the head to Smurf a concussion. The big additions to the franchise are a new species of shorties called Naughties. While not particularly funny, at least one of them is a girl, which is a great relief to those of us whose offspring prefer Happy Meal toys female-gendered, no matter what their origin.
– Oliver Jones
But catch this gem:The Spectacular Now
Thanks to standout performances in Rabbit Hole and the updated Footloose, Miles Teller is respected as a fine young actor who makes his presence known in small roles. Now he'll be known as a guy who can carry a movie.
Teller stars as high-school senior Sutter Keely, the happiest of drunks, who charms all and sundry until he passes out on the front lawn. The incredibly talented Shailene Woodley plays Aimee Finicky, the "good girl," and it's her front lawn. Since Sutter finds himself recently dumped, he figures Aimee will do as good as any for a new drinking buddy. Since Aimee's always followed the rules, Sutter looks like a dandy way to break a few. Together, they begin a relationship that transcends cliché teen neediness into a scarier, more consequential adult variety.
The Spectacular Now isn't a terrifically eventful film. It's more of a tone poem about the turning points in life – one that openly wonders whether Aimee will lift Sutter up, or if he'll bring her down. It's neither a spoiler nor an equivocation to say that the answer is: both. Teller is so subtle in how he shades his character as well-meaning but about as toxic (and contagious) as avian flu. Woodley, meanwhile, is just as a delicate, giving Aimee cracks without making her pathetic. The Spectacular Now is a lovely confluence of both their talents, and one well worth your time.

CRI Awards Scholarships to Graduating Seniors
CRI Awards Scholarships to Graduating Seniors
Cooperative Resources International (CRI), an agricultural cooperative headquartered in Shawano, Wis., has presented the annual founders' scholarship to five high school seniors.
The scholarship program, directed to children of CRI employees, was established in honor of the cooperative's founders and pioneering leaders like K.E. Wallin, Max Drake, Charlie Krumm, Norris Carnes, Dave Yoder, Willys Gjermundson and others who were affiliated with organizations now a part of CRI. Consequently, applicants are judged on their scholastic achievement and demonstration of their ability to take on leadership roles in school-related and extracurricular activities. Emphasis is also given to applicants pursuing a career in agriculture.
Those students receiving the $750 founders' scholarships are Jed Dallas of Shawano, Wis.; Jacob Gundrum of Appleton, Wis.; Candace Lease of Tiffin, Ohio; Adam Rycroft of Shawano, Wis.; and Leah Nass of Manitowoc, Wis.
CRI, a member-owned holding cooperative, is comprised of two subsidiaries: AgSource Cooperative Services and Genex Cooperative, Inc. The CRI mission statement summarizes the goal of CRI: "To provide products and services as effectively as possible to maximize the profitability of members and customers worldwide while maintaining a strong cooperative."

- If you enjoy calm, relaxing waves and the sound of birds while picturing a soft erotic scene playing out with your lover(s)- this is probably more up your alley than it was mine. \nI love relaxing CD's- I use them for yoga, for ballet-- \nBut I felt that this was TOO relaxing for sex. At least not the kind I'm used to. With all due respect to the composers of this CD, I don't think the name "Euphoria" truly suits it. "Bliss" or perhaps "Sensuality" would work much better. I was personally expecting something a little more upbeat and fast-paced. Something HARDER. However whoever the pianist is that performs through the CD I salute your passion whoever you are. I'm looking forward to using this CD when I study for my College finals.

The DRBC employs a comprehensive water conservation program, which has become an integral component of its broader strategy to manage water supplies throughout the basin. This strategy also includes charging certain entities for the amount of water supply they use.
A core principle of the commission's water conservation program is that water efficiency should be practiced at all times, not just during drought. Reducing water use not only provides significant economic and environmental benefits, but can help avoid or delay the imposition of drought declarations.
DRBC works to ensure that its regulations reflect the latest thinking in the field of water conservation. In 2009, the commission amended its Comprehensive Plan and Water Code to implement an updated water audit approach to identify and control water loss in the basin. The new approach, required to be used starting January 1, 2012, is consistent with methodology considered to be a best management practice in water loss control.
Information on the aforementioned programs can be found at the above links.

Oops, something didn't work.
Great show.
btw as a little tid-bit of info... IEEE1394/FireWire is actually the first form of serialized SCSI. Thus why it has channels 0..63 - it's the number of SCSI id's/slots on a SCSI bus. The electrical transport specifications of 1394 has seen been obsoleted when connecting to hard drives. SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) Hard Drives now use the Nexus electrical standard - which is everywhere - GigE, PCIe, HDMI, SATA, SAS. The 1394 protocol lives on today in the SAS communciation protocol.
Brownie points to the first person who can tell me why my modem.sys breakpoint didn't get hit! I went back and watched the show later and figured out my mistake.
Really like the whole series. This episode was good because the few times I've had to do this it was a bit of a pain so I'm glad this was covered.
Serial Tablet Larry? That's some solid hardware; just keeps on ticking.
@ChadBeeder Re-watched that part a few times. At first I though you had left that breakpoint disabled but that doesn't seem to be the case. Perhaps the modem wasn't powered on in the first place and that function is never called?
Anyway I'll be checking back to see if someone figures it out.
Even I couldn't work it out - I guessed the same as you, that it was a disabled breakpoint or it wasn't powered on. Chad said he'd answer it on the episode we tape tomorrow, and air on Monday.
Liked the show. Really nice.
I watch the part where the breakpoint was set on modem!ModemPower twice. My guess is the breakpoint needed to be on a different function? modem!PowerPnP? Maybe?
@FFE: You got it! I set the breakpoint on the dispatch routine for IRP_MJ_POWER (modem!ModemPower), then disabled the modem in device manager, which would result in, not a power IRP, but a Plug and Play IRP (IRP_MJ_PNP).
I should have set the breakpoint on modem!ModemPnP instead of modem!ModemPower.

Title hopefuls set for Edgbaston clash
Click here for exclusive match highlights from every day's play, latest scores, reports, news and interviews during the LV= County Championship campaign
Title challengers Warwickshire and Nottinghamshire will battle it out in Division One of the LV= County Championship at Edgbaston from tomorrow.
Twenty-seven points separate the sides, with Warwickshire sitting top of the pile and their opponents two places lower.
Victory for Notts, who are set to welcome back Andre Adams, would certainly close the gap at a crucial time given the sides only have two fixtures remaining after their meeting. They face off again in the last round.
Play is due to begin at noon on day one due to Warwickshire's Clydesdale Bank 40 game with Yorkshire at Scarborough today.
At the other end of the table relegation-threatened Lancashire tackle in-form Durham, who have won their last four championship encounters, at Aigburth. Durham are without Mark Wood due to a side problem.
The Red Rose, second from bottom, will be aiming to overhaul Surrey, who sit a spot higher having claimed an extra 15 points.
Surrey, bolstered by having Kevin Pietersen available, could move further ahead with victory over Somerset at Taunton.
Pietersen struck a sparkling unbeaten double-century against Lancashire on his last championship outing and his return to the four-day fold will be a major boost.
Skipper Marcus Trescothick - who has to manage his workload after missing much of the season through an ankle injury - should be available for Somerset after being deemed fit enough to play in the rain-affected CB40 match between the teams today.
In the top-flight's other game, bottom-of-the-table Worcestershire will take on Middlesex at New Road.
Worcestershire have left out Vikram Solanki and Ben Scott, recalling Alexei Kervezee and Ben Cox. The visitors are without England Test captain Andrew Strauss, who was due to play in the match but has been given an extra week of rest.
Division Two leaders Derbyshire can all but secure promotion with victory over Essex at Derby.
With second-placed Hampshire - who have played a game more - not in action this week, Derbyshire could be 41 points clear by the end of these matches.
Essex have injury concerns over David Masters, Graham Napier and Adam Wheater. They are without Harbhajan Singh, who has linked up with India's Twenty20 squad.
Third-placed Yorkshire can overtake Hampshire by beating Gloucestershire at Scarborough.
The White Rose will be without Richard Pyrah, who has suffered the reoccurrence of a hand injury in today's CB40 encounter. He will be assessed in Leeds on Wednesday.
Gloucestershire have included Middlesex's Anthony Ireland, who is on loan at his old club for the rest of the season, in their squad but are missing Chris Dent, who has dislocated a shoulder and will miss the rest of the season.
Kent - who like Yorkshire have a game in hand on Hampshire - are also in promotion contention. They face Leicestershire at Grace Road with a noon start tomorrow.
Glamorgan will aim to move off the foot of the table when they host Northamptonshire at the SWALEC Stadium.

It provides a lecture on cardiovascular health and risk factors; and demonstrations of American Heart Association basic life support techniques for choking victims, rescue breathing and CPR for adults, children, and infants. Participants are introduced to and participate in the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). Participants must successfully complete manikin check off, AED simulation and a written exam in order to successfully complete this certification.

Use of these materials in an educational course does not represent course sponsorship by the AHA. Any fees charged for such a course, except for a portion of fees needed for AHA course materials, do not represent income to the association.
