Datsyuk's strong 2 way play, face offs, and ability to bring us back from the dead when noone else can are the most important things to our team. If he doesnt roof that 35' wrister top shelf to tie it 2 - 2, we lose in 5 games. No OT glory for Nyquist or Brunner. No game 6 herpics from Z. No back-stopping magnoficence from Howard.
Nope. That's a very childish logic. First, this series wasn't "brought back from the dead" by one player as you put it. We won in Anaheim game 2 so im not sure how you pretend as though red wings are "dead". This was a close series, not sure which series you were following. Also, If that was the case, that Datsyuk "brought them back from the dead", then Franzen wouldn't be sitting at 3 goals, Zet wouldn't be sitting at 3 goals, Brunner wouldn't be sitting at 2 goals and 3 assists as a rookie. This was a team effort by the leaders and rookies and Jimmy kept them in as well.
Secondly, the top shelf roof shot wasn't an elimination game so that extreme example goes out the window. Third of all the ones that were in fact elimination games were games 6 and 7 in which Jimmy showed up strong and Captain led the way. By you're same logic, if Zet doesn't slap the OT winner in game 6 then the wings ARE eliminated if Anaheim scores. If Howard doesn't make a save on Selanne's point blank shot in game 6 then the wings could have been potentially eliminated as well.
Also, 2 way play was shown by Z as well, especially in game 7 with the nice takeaway during the third period. So although Datsyuk was a better 2 way player, he wasn't the ONLY two way player, hence that doesn't really help towards his MVP status as there were contributions from others. In addition, to the comment "No back-stopping magnoficence from Howard": ill throw the converse at you: If Howard didn't save their butts with his saves, then Pav would be packing it up after game 4 and headed home to Russia rather than score the goal in game 6 on his backhand.
Dats is our MOST VALUABLE PLAYER. Period. Doesnt matter when.
Actually, this thread is about round 1 and so it DOES matter "when" someone is the MVP. As for round 1, it goes to Howard. And believe me, im not a huge Howard fan, but im realistic about facts. I'm not going to jump on my favorite players bandwagon every time. Pasha is one of my favorite players of all time but if it weren't for Jimmy, or Z's game winner, wings would have packed up and stayed home Sunday night.

EAST RUTHERFORD — A motorist at a car club meeting struck and killed a motorcyclist at the MetLife Stadium parking lot early this morning, according to State Police spokesman Trooper Christopher Kay.
The motorcyclist was killed after the driver of a sports car had crossed the center lane of one of the roadways on the Meadowlands property and struck the motorcycle head on, said Kay. Authorities responded to the incident around 7:45 this morning.
Authorities are currently at the scene investigating the crash near parking lot J, however few details were immediately available, according to Kay.
The sports car driver suffered a minor hand injury, he said. The Bergen Record reports that the driver was in a Ferrari.
The identities of both the motorcyclist and the driver were not immediately available, according to State Police.
Kay said he did not know how fast the sports car driver was traveling.
At least two events were taking place near the stadium this morning, including one held by the Northern New Jersey Regional Sports Car Club of America.
The club held the last of its three-day Northeast Divisional Championships today but was not involved with the fatal accident, according to club chairman Perry Aidelbaum. His club's event took place in parking lot E and did not hear or notice anything from the accident until State Police arrived, Aidelbaum said.

Slow cooking a boneless pork shoulder with some onions, green peppers and jalapeno - what should I do with it for dinner?
Cynthia is a trusted source on Bread/Baking.
Merrill's pork tacos!
After it's cooked, cut the pork into cubes if you haven't already, and brown in a hot oven to make carnitas. Reduce your cooking liquid to serve with it. Serve with slaw made with an oil, vinegar, cumin and cilantro dressing and corn tortillas.
you could throw some red potatoes in the pot in the last hour and just have a meal finished. If you want to get fancier I like JudyH's idea OR you could go a bit korean-esque with lettuce cups (since meat so rich) and fresh cilantro/lime with reduced braising liquid as sauce. Enjoy!
cooking pork shoulder with a couple tablespoons of smoked paprika and about a tsp of fennel seeds makes for something that tastes a lot like pepperoni...but more delicious and tender!

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- A Huntsville woman told police a shooting that took place outside sent bullets into her home while her children were inside.
She told police it started with two vehicles shooting at a home in the 2200 block of Norwood Drive close to 2:30 p.m. Thursday. According to the police report, she said her children were the ones who alerted her to the shooting outside, and that's when she saw the vehicles in the roadway. She said they appeared to be firing at a home across the street.
She said two rounds hit her home. No one was injured. Police recovered shell casings and are continuing the investigation.
No arrests have been made at this time.

Humans - Animals - Environment
And God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day" (Genesis 1:31)
(The Turtles of SHL - 01 - Logging-On in the Sun)
Sleepy Hollow Lake was frozen over until the 9th of April 2001 when the ice began to break up leaving wide gaps of open water. By the 10th the ice was gone. On Friday the 13th (no pun intended) the temperature was nearly 70 degrees when we put our canoe in the lake and ventured out over the cold water to see what had transpired during the winter. As we neared a sheltered area near the northeast end of the lake, we spotted several turtles fresh from their winter slumber, sunning themselves on a log. The reflection in the water added to our interest, as we hope it does yours. They're all part of God's creation that we are commanded to protect.
(The Turtles of SHL - 01a - A Painted Turtle Basking in the Sun)
As our canoe drifted closer to the basking painted turtles, they became a little nervous, and one by one they slid back into the water. The first to go was this turtle, even though his or her eyes appeared to be closed. Isaiah tells us that one day the animals will no longer have this rightful fear of us, for we will no longer hurt or destroy one another or the environment (11:6-9). May that day come soon!
(The Turtles of SHL - 03 - Last on the Log)
Our canoe continued to drift closer to the sunning log, and one by one the turtles slipped back into the frigid water. We had disturbed their privacy and pleasure. However, this turtle was undaunted and remained until we were only a few feet away, allowing us to take this picture. In photographing these turtles, we have mixed emotions; for their sake, we don't want to intrude into their world, but for their benefit, we want others to know about these beautiful animals so that they will learn to respect and protect them and their environment.
(The Turtles of SHL - 02 - Last on the Log: A Closer View)
Every one of God's creatures has a right to live his or her life as the Lord intended. Look closely at the marvelous detail that went into creating this living soul, and note the subtle differences in the appearance of the others that were upon this log. Not only did God create this being, but He also created each one as an individual, just as we were created. Our true thanksgiving is in our love and protection of all that God has made.
Mary from www.nuzzled.net wrote: WOW!!!! The turtles I recognize :) they are painted turtles. My husband and I rescued one from our neighbor who only gave the little guy and inch of water, NO basking area, and no light. "Pete" is now very happy in his HUGE tank... his growth was stunted because of his horrible living conditions, so returning him to the wild will probably not ever happen.. But, I took him out of his tank so he could view the pictures of his relatives. I think I saw a faint glimmer in his eyes. The pictures bring tears to my eyes.. so gorgeous and peaceful. The way it should be! :)
(The Turtles of SHL - 04 - It Feels So Good!)
We could see the expression of pleasure of this basking turtle, as if he or she were saying "It feels so good!" We watched silently from our canoe at the outstretched and uplifted head and the way he or she rested upon his or her plastron (lower shell) with extended rear legs reaching for the sun. From the markings on the shell this appears to be a Map Turtle. Let us all resolve to enjoy the wildlife around us without harming it.
(The Turtles of SHL - 06 - Basking Rock)
Like people flocking to the beach, or children gathering at their favorite swimming hole, these painted turtles hastened to climb out of the frigid waters and sun bathe on their basking rock. Their desire for the simple pleasures of life is very much like our own. In our position of dominion over the creatures of this world, let us resolve to protect and preserve the whole of God's creation for ourselves and the other beings of this world.
(The Turtles of SHL - 05 - Rafting on a Log)
While watching this and other turtles upon a floating log, I thought about my own childhood, when my friends and I attempted to build a log raft and float upon the water, but without the success of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. This turtle took advantage of a natural log raft where he or she soaked up the warming sun. May we always allow them to enjoy these simple pleasures.

|(The Turtles of SHL - 10) When we realized that the turtle was going to cross the road, with all it's dangers, and the fact that some unscrupulous drivers will actually try to kill animals on the road, as good stewards of God's creation, we picked up the baby snapping turtle and went down to the edge of the lake and let the turtle go. As you can see, he or she took to the water immediately.
|(The Turtles of SHL - 11) The baby snapping turtle then slipped under the water that was on top of this rock and began to try swimming.

It's quite likely that you missed an Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) storyline at the end of June, or that you saw it and brushed it aside like I did, believing it to be inconsequential.
Last month, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office published a patent application that the Mac maker has filed for, detailing a multi-function input port that could merge a USB port and SD card slot into one. Apple originally applied for the patent in December 2011, and it has yet to be awarded. One of the primary benefits of merging the two ports would be to facilitate even thinner designs.
Consumer preferences are quickly shifting to the thin-and-light laptop segment, an area that NPD says that the MacBook Air dominates with 56% market share. This patent application might not seem like a game-changer, but DIGITIMES believes that rival Ultrabook makers competing in the market for thin and light laptops are worried that the move would give Apple another leg up. With as thin as laptops have become, every millimeter counts; a combined input port could save 12 to 13 millimeters in external designs.
The possible move is similar to another seemingly minor detail that's arguably underappreciated: Apple's MagSafe power adaptors. The magnetic power cord was unveiled in 2006 as an added convenience, reducing the risk that people would trip on cords and laptops would crash into floors. Apple also patented the connector, which is why rivals still can't use it. Microsoft Surface uses a magnetic power cord, with the big difference being that Microsoft's version carries data along with power. Microsoft has applied for a patent of its own.
Alone, these are all minor details that most PC vendors have overlooked. Combined, they offer conveniences that give Apple an advantage. Rivals already have to watch out for Apple's MacBook Air design patent, which covers the overall wedge look. Even though Apple isn't immune to the PC market's broad weakness right now, it's still got some tricks up its sleeves.
Even though Apple has a long list of patented features, the company has never been afraid to crush its previous successes. Yet that self-cannibalization has never hurt the company. Quite the contrary, Apple destroys its greatest products quite profitably. Read through Apple's extensive history of cannibalizing its own products and how that keeps it at the forefront of evolving consumer trends by clicking here.

United Steelworkers Face Unfair Labor Practice Charges for Illegal Dues Objection Procedure
USW's rule forces nonmembers to renew objection to forced dues each year
Morgantown, WV (November 17, 2008) – National Right to Work Foundation attorneys have filed federal unfair labor practice charges against the United Steelworkers national union for two Morgantown workers for its illegal scheme to coerce them to pay full union dues.
Chemtura Corporation employs approximately 80 workers at its Morgantown factory who are "represented" by the USW. Because West Virginia is not a Right to Work state, nonmembers are forced to pay certain compulsory fees to the union, but only for activities which union bosses can prove are related to collective bargaining. Previous Foundation-won litigation has established that workers have the right to refuse formal union membership and that union officials may not charge nonmembers for activities like political activism, organizing, and member-only events.
The USW forces David Yost, Ronald EchegarAy, and other similarly situated Chemtura employees to renew their objections to payment of full union dues in a 30-day window period each year. Nonmembers who do not annually renew their previous objections are suddenly assumed to be "non-objectors" and against their will and without their consent are compelled to pay full union dues or lose their jobs.
In contrast, union officials do not need to get new consents each year from union members, re-establishing that they want to remain members and continue to pay dues through payroll deduction. As the charges explain, the USW's policy is discriminatory and "solely designed to burden objecting nonmembers."
With its arbitrary "Nonmember Objection Procedure," the USW has violated its duty to represent fairly nonmembers in good faith. Moreover, federal labor law does not grant certified unions the authority to convert nonmembers into "non-objectors" without their consent.
In June, Yost sent a letter to USW union bosses asserting his procedural rights under Communication Workers of America v. Beck and related cases. The Supreme Court has held that unions must provide nonmembers a statement breaking down the union's expenditures, verified by an independent auditor, and the opportunity to challenge the basis of the fee. In his letter, Yost declared his intent to file unfair labor practice charges if the union did not consider his objection permanent and continuing. Echegary sent a similar letter in August, before his objection was to expire. In both instances, a USW lawyer replied that the employee would need to re-object each year.
"It is unbelievable that United Steelworkers union bosses expect nonmembers to follow these arbitrary and illegal union procedures," said Stefan Gleason, vice president of the National Right to Work Foundation.

Radcliffe fellow and Rutgers English professor Rebecca L. Walkowitz '92 identified a new genre of fiction, novels that are intended to transcend language barriers, in a lecture at the Radcliffe Institute.
The Designing Woman
The Harvard Gazette speaks to Radcliffe Institute graphic designer Jessica Brilli about her work in design and painting. "I love doing both — I love painting, and I love doing graphic design. So I feel very blessed to have a job that I like so much, and an outside hobby that ties into it. Both things really inspire each other."
Hidden in Notes, the Secrets of History
The Boston Globe Ideas section explores the increased interest in the study of notes, which unlock conversations around great works. In examining the scribblings that were once dismissed, scholars are unlocking real insights into the way people in the past read, thought, worked, loved, and joked. "Take Note," a Radcliffe Institute conference addresses the rise of these once-marginal jottings as a topic in their own right.

Franzen was taken in the draft as a projected 3/4 line guy at max. He's done very well and has surpassed his targeted role within the club.
If Kenny was a little more constructive with his $ he could have fitted both Hossa and Franzen into the team. When you get a bonifide superstar
on your roster who scores 40 goals in his first season with his new club you do try and get the guy re-signed, this was def Kennys biggest gaff.

AboutThatCar.com: 2014 Audi A8 L TDI Quattro
By Frank S. Washington | 5/23/2014, 2:35 p.m.
DETROIT – Diesel used to be a dirty word in the American market. But spearheaded by the Volkswagen Group, oil burners have gained a foothold in this market and they are widening their footprint. Audi, VW's luxury brand, is leading the charge in that segment of the market.
The marque offers five models powered by diesel engines and plans to introduce two more in the next 12 or so months. We had the top of the line Audi A8 L TDI Quattro tiptronic. Of the five-model Audi A8 lineup, the TDI is definitely the slowest by more than a second. Still, the Audi A8 TDI can get to 60 mph from a standing start in a startlingly quick 6.4 seconds.
The long-wheel base car was powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine that made 240 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque at 1,750 rpm. This engine moved the 4,500 pound Audi A8 L TDI effortless and quietly.
Audi used a lot of soundproofing to shield the passenger cabin from what sometimes can be the rough startup of diesel engines in cold weather. The car's quattro system featured permanent all-wheel-drive with a 40-60 torque split.
Mated to an eight-speed tiptronic transmission, the Audi A8 L TDI had paddle shifters but we never bothered to use them. The car's character didn't call for simulated manual shifting. Speed sensitive power steering added to the A8 L TDI's sure treaded handling. The air suspension with its ride selection enabled the car to hug the road. And the engine shutting off when the car came to complete stop helped its fuel efficiency.
Not that anybody who can afford a luxury sedan priced, as tested, at $99,445 would care but the big sedan's fuel rating was an impressive 24 mpg in city driving, 36 mpg on the highway and 28 mpg combined. With a 23.8 gallon fuel tank, the Audi A8 L TDI had a highway range of more than 700 miles.
This car was impressive. It had an aluminum space frame and body panels that reduced weight and increased fuel efficiency. Its reduced weight also helped the five-link front suspension and trapezoidal-link rear suspension kept the car balanced in most situations. The A8 L TDI rode smooth, handled with rifle shot accuracy and kept the driver aloft from most other traffic.
Audi has now switched its entire lineup to what it's trademarked as its Singleframe grille. On the A8 L TDI it had angled corners and horizontal chrome struts. As do all Audis, the A8 had LED running lights underlining the LED headlights. The effect was like eyeliner. Audi was one of the first and is one of the best in the business at utilizing LED running lights aesthetically.
No matter the design, luxury is always conveyed in the interior of any vehicle. The test vehicle had a panoramic roof. The front half was retractable and the back half was fixed but it did tilt. Power sun screens were available all round.
The A8 interior had the feel of a living room and it bristled with technology beginning with its information screen that deployed and retracted into the dashboard. Heated and cooled front power seats could be moved 22 ways and included several different massages.

Theerasak Photha
"Have you ever seen a costume like mine?" (TheJuggernaut
I am currently between high school and college, with a lot of free time on my hands, and I piss away a lot of it here. I have a website:
The nick hanumizzle is derived from the Hindu/Buddhist monkey god Hanuman. Because the Rama(?:yan|kien) is one of my favorite stories, I allude to it on an almost daily basis. I am not a Hindu or Buddhist (or of any religious opinion at all, including atheist), but I find those kinds of things interesting.
Atheism, btw, is not a religious opinion, it's a lack of one, so if you have no "religious" opinion at all, you're an atheist.
That's WeakAtheism
. StrongAtheism
is the dogmatic belief that there are no gods. The weak atheist regards the strong atheist as a religionist, albeit a degenerate one.
Qualifying atheism with strong and weak is as silly as qualifying evolution with macro and micro. It's meaningless. You're either atheist or not; there's no inbetween. You either believe in gods or you don't; it's quite simple. Agnostics are athiests as well; they're just polite about it.
I feel compelled to disagree. Agnostics do not deny the existence of god(s). They simply say that there is no evidence either way. A god who is completely disinterested in human affairs would be undetectable to us, but compatible with an Agnostic stance. --
An universal standard quantum of belief is just as silly. Strong and weak qualifiers make sense if viewed in terms of the amount of force they hold over the belief holder. A Strong Atheist is marked by how inescapably compelled they are to preach their binary. Many aspects of their life is outright shaped by their strong stance.
I think you are describing deism. It reminds me of some time I was reading a religious treatise by Newton on the nature of God, and he took a whole paragraph defining the Sanskrit word 'nirguna' (without form) in English to ascribe it to that most divine subject. (Theerasak)
The reason for qualifying evolution within micro and macro is because there is no such thing as a 'kind' barrier. (On top of that, speciation
has occurred
in a laboratory setting, so it's really kind of moot.) I am not a creation 'scientist' trying to pull the wool over the eyes of American education boards; I am just someone who refuses to take any definitive position on religion, including agnosticism. Some suggested that I might be an agnostic, which is what I use on forms and surveys, but I don't even think that's true. I'm not even sure that I'm not sure. 'Meta-agnostic' might be the best term to describe it.
I have transcended even [atheism]. Do a quick Google search for the Brahmin Jabali; the mindset of this freethinker most closely matches my own. (There is a wonderful English translation of a Bangla text on the man on boloji.com IIRC.) I believe atheism is a kind of religious opinion, or, rather, an opinion of religion. I argue with the more rabid atheists all the time, and delight in tripping them up with their self-righteous attitudes. True and false are both Boolean values, but I am nil.
I'm not an atheist, trust me.
it sounds like you are an agnostic (in the original sense) though
(see above).
Jai C2 wiki! (No-one has argued with this yet.)

That was what I was thinking of and I appear to have misremembered it. Oh well.
I've been reading
novels lately, and a couple weeks ago I came across the name Hanuman. It's the name of an asteroid. I wanted to tell you about it, but I got caught up in other stuff and am just now hazily remembering what I read. Anyway, Hanuman shows up in either

. (Yes, believe it or not, I've had people compare me to Hitler before in several instances.) This can be traced to a number of reasons, I guess. I have strong opinions, mainly on geeky stuff; I like it when people agree with what I say; I like to argue; the formative years of my life were fraught with isolation and pain...I am a pessimist about human nature. I do various 'good stuff', but I don't why, given that

Sure. I'll read it. I probably won't have a comment, though.

That's OK. Does it read well? Does it answer questions?
Yes, it's a good page: very interesting. It reminds me of my sister several years ago. She took up an interest in Theravada Buddhism and studied Pali awhile. BYW, I had no thoughts of Hitler when I read your thing to Earle :-) BTW, BTW, I was compared to Hitler a long time ago and it screwed me up for the next 15 years!
liked to make his opponents look ridiculous. This is what I tend to do in such cases where it becomes (practically) necessary. One time I got into an argument with some Panjabi guy on freenode. He apparently mistook me for an Indian (maybe true, according to a Hindutva), a Tamil specifically, and started asking me all this stuff about: "What do you think of Indian guys who date white chicks?", and mysteriously assumed I fell into the same category. He admitted to being drunk the first time I talked to him, and for all I know, he was drunk the other times, too. He seemed to revile anyone who mingled sexually with any other ethnicity. Various anecdotes he told to give me the impression that he was not a bigot
involved Tamils, which led me to believe he was just making them up. I later pointed out that someone from Northern India adopting such an exclusive position towards race is comparable to proverbially "shutting the barn door after the sheep got out" and asked "when did Panjab declare a feature freeze?". Realizing that he made himself look like a total ass, he spewed profanities at me; I was a "fag" and "piece of trash", in his words, destroying any moral high ground he could claim to have. He then told me I was on ignore, parting with: "l8r loser". Apparently, this besotted ignoramus never heard of an open relay; I got behind an HTTP proxy w/ support for CONNECT and started gleefully taunting him with Juggernaut quotes, because there was no way in hell I was going to let him get away with the last word. He made a final mistake of granting me victory by calling me "a little nigger", and saying he quit freenode. And he did. I'm still gloating about it now.

I'm sorry, this guy unfortunately does sound like an asshole. (Disclaimer: I am a nonconformist.) --
Your comment on that page was supremely redundant but also offtopic for that page (which, after all, explains its own purpose and format for contributions); it is, above all, a humor page. You're missing years of history on this; Kulisz has been banned, but there are hundreds of pages here bearing his signature (sometimes abbreviated RK).
Interesting random thought: when MrPythagoras
told his followers to "abstain from beans", we now think that this was a euphemism for voting, which was done with dry beans as ballots. "Avoid politics", in other words. Would a Hindi speaker say: "Abstain from

(lentils)?" -- tp
Clever. Amusing. -- Eliz
Brief translation of the legend of Sithon and Manola (finally) complete:
I encourage everyone on C2 wiki never to use the #python channel on irc.freenode.net. Why? I thought the NO LOL rule was a joke of some kind, but when I sidestepped the bot that admonishes users on use of LOL by using the Greek omicron character in my 'LOL', which looks like this, Ο, one of the chanops threatened me with a ban.
In my immature youth, I would get behind my shell account and/or open proxies and cavalierly use omicron 'LΟL' until the operators eventually grew tired of keeping up with the endless slew of Indian/Thai nicknames I created for myself --- something I did re use of profanity on ##linux until Wild
Pikachu decided to quit playing into my juvenile Agent Smith schoolyard respawn game and let me drop as many F-bombs as I liked.
I don't use LOL
often. LOL itself doesn't mean
too much
to me. Arbitrary guidelines, with no rhyme or reason, do. It's not much of a
argument to say that if you can accept one thing on blind faith, you can accept
on blind faith. It's happened before, anyway.
I think
I'm just going to leave it with a hearty "kiss my ass" for the admin who threatened me with expulsion and take my business elsewhere.
And before an of you tell me off for ranting, read this first:
This is hilarious. I laughed so hard I got brain damage:
I loved your comments on

LACEY — Four tortoises seized from a New Jersey home last month finally have a permanent home.
Officials tell the Asbury Park Press the reptiles will remain at Popcorn Park in Lacey Township. That's a rescue facility where they've been treated for some health issues that are not considered serious.
Officials had been seeking a permanent home in a warm climate for the four Aldabra tortoises, which range in size from 7 pounds to 320 pounds.
But the park plans to build a public structure for the reptiles — a project that will likely cost somewhere between $7,000 and $10,000.
Officials say the tortoises were being kept in inadequate outdoor enclosures at a Highlands home when they were seized, though they acknowledge their owner was not purposely trying to harm them.

Protein malnutrition is more an economic problem than a medical one, more a matter of food distribution than of production, more linked to the slowness of land reform than to the introduction of sophisticated technology. Present scientific knowledge is already capable of eliminating protein deficiency in most underdeveloped countries. The crucial problem is to overcome the formidable obstacles that impede the proper use of this knowledge... not to elaborate still more refined techniques.
So begins this excellent international symposium. Ironically, the remaining 44 discussants devote most of their words to the problems of technique. Perhaps this is inevitable. After all, the biologist, the biochemist, the agricultural scientist, and the physician are neither economists nor politicians. The scientist can prepare the tools for solving some of society's problems, but, in the final analysis, political and economic forces determine if and how these tools will be used.

What do you think about Sly's explanation of the differences between his income statement and his 1040 Schedule C?
Solutions for Chapter 6
What do you think about Sly's explanation of the differences between his income statement and his 1040 Schedule C?
Students should recognize that it is a common practice for owners of small businesses to "hide" personal expenses in business expenses. This accomplishes two things: First, it allows the owner to take money out of the business without showing it as taxable income. Second, it reduces the amount of income on which the business is taxed. Of course, students should also recognize that while it is a common practice, it is an illegal practice. Avoiding taxes in this manner can lead to significant fines and penalties, including imprisonment.
This question provides an excellent entry into discussions of the ethical conflicts that small business owners commonly experience.
Students also should realize that the depreciation, interest, property tax and draws of the current owner are irrelevant to any potential buyer. A new owner's depreciation will depend upon the price paid for the depreciable assets of the business. Property assessments will most likely change as a result of the change in ownership. Any draws made by the new owner will depend on the future success of the business and on the needs of the new owner. Thus this information is not relevant to determining the value of a business.

"I met him towards the end of filming the show," Kardashian, 30, tells PEOPLE, explaining why Humphries won't appear in her new series. "I'm having a lot of fun [with him]."
Although Kardashian, 30, has seemingly settled down for the time being, viewers will see her busy single days play out on TV when the show airs Jan. 23.
"I'm showing a lot of my dating life, which I've never really done before," she says. "I mean you've seen bits and pieces of my relationships before, but you've never really seen me being single and doing whatever I want to do."
Although Kardashian says "it's always hard when you're dating on camera," she doesn't worry about it preventing her from finding someone special.
"I never think love is hard," she says. "I think if it's meant to be, it's meant to be."

Die Hard with a Vengeance
The more sequels Hollywood makes, the more we regret that the original movie was ever produced in the first place. Seeing "Die Hard with a Vengeance" is like drinking New Coke -- you run from the theater and spit on an usher and yell, "Why'd you have to go and ruin it for?!"
Director John McTiernan helmed the first film and Renny Harlin (of "maybe I'll go make a fifty million dollar pirate movie and ruin my career" fame) directed the second, so we're supposed to be ecstatic that McTiernan is returning to run the third film and send New York supercop John McClane through his paces.
However, setting a movie in New York where some German nutcase (Jeremy Irons) is threatening to blow stuff up isn't particularly exciting. People do much worse stuff in NYC all the time. And watching McClane and new buddy Samuel L. Jackson drive around the city like maniacs didn't do anything for me either because just about everybody drives around New York City like that. If the filmmakers wanted shock effect, they should have filmed Willis and Jackson walking around the city saying hello and being nice to strangers. This film would then have been destined to become a cult classic.
Since McClane has survived every conceivable life-threatening situation under the sun, "Die Hard with a Vengeance" is forced to invent new, increasingly stupid ways to have him almost die. This time McClane runs around a big drainage pipe so the filmmakers can shoot McClane out of a portal when the water comes rushing through, producing what amounts to a Bruce Willis orgasm.

Joaquin Phoenix insists he's getting a bum rap.
"There's not a hoax," Phoenix tells the Associated Press of doubts about his sudden conversion from movie star to hip-hop artist. "Might I be ridiculous? Might my career in music be laughable? Yeah, that's possible, but that's certainly not my intention."
Questions about his intentions surfaced after the newly bearded Phoenix, 34, took the stage in Las Vegas on Jan. 16 in an ill-fated debut of his new career. A video of his performance shows him falling off the stage, though he says it looks worse than it was.
"I had a lot of dudes come up and say, `We really respect you for doing it, putting yourself out there, and going with it,'" he tells AP. "Because I think true hip-hop heads know that it's hard, it's going to be a hard transition, and people are going to be lining up just to make fun of me."

Staff reporter
It's a warm, clear June evening in Western Washington, perfect for barbecues and sunset strolls. But members of the King County Sheriff's Party Patrol are expecting a busy night tonight. Thousands of high school students, including the senior classes at Woodinville, Bothell, Inglemoor, Redmond, Juanita and Issaquah High, have graduated this week.
At 8:30 p.m., about twenty youngish officers gather at the North Precinct in Kenmore for the patrol. They wear the green uniforms of county deputies, dark blue of Bothell, Duvall and Snoqualmie police, and light blue of Mercer Island. Others are in street clothes. This is the posse that will drain the kegs, pour out the beer and haul off the kids at any under-age drinking party they find.
Sgt. Alex Johns, who is running the patrol tonight, methodically runs through procedures for the fifth time in three weeks, reminding officers to advise kids of their rights and to photograph beer cans and kegs. He hands out a list of known party spots to check. A state liquor control board agent details the new tobacco laws which say it is a misdemeanor for minors to possess cigarettes-"things to work on in your spare time," she says. After the briefing has broken up, officers scatter to the nooks, hideaways and parks of north and northeastern King County.
Team penning
I'm riding with Deputy Pete Horvath, 31. As we cruise through Kenmore listening to country music I find out the Monroe bachelor has no sympathy for minors drinking. He says it's not the way for them to unwind. "I'm not much of a drinker myself," Horvath says. "I don't feel alcohol is necessary to have a good time." He gets his kicks on horseback as a team penner. Team penning is a little like what we're doing tonight. In penning, Horvath says three horse riders go into a herd of cattle and separate out three cows while keeping the rest of the herd under control. When we find a party, a platoon of cops will round everyone up, separate them into three age groups and then test them for alcohol. Top penners can earn cash and belt buckles; cops on the patrol will only win resentment from the kids.
Driving through Juanita, the radio crackles sporadically with party reports. There's something going on in Redmond and on Mercer Island. We head towards Woodinville after a someone reports 30 to 40 juveniles gathered near Leota Junior High. Along the way, Horvath tells me he put together a drunk driving accident simulation for Sultan High School after students there were involved in a alcohol-related crash. "If we reach one person we've made a difference," he says.
Just then dispatch reports 60 to 70 kids are gathered at a trailhead parking lot on the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River which is in the Cascade Mountains near North Bend. Anyone leaving that party has at least a 10 mile drive to pavement. We point the nose of Horvath's Jeep Cherokee southeast. On our way, we and a caravan of four other cop cars, will talk with five kids by a campfire off East Lake Sammamish Road, cruise a Union Hill neighborhood and check into a report of loud music on the west side of Sammamish. But it's becoming evident that tonight's action will be in the mountains. Led by a Duvall car, we flog our vehicles east on I-90 to a rendezvous with state troopers, Sgt. Johns and a Sheriff's bus.
Middle Fork bust
At midnight, a column of 18 officers in nine vehicles heads up the Middle Fork Road, a dusty, narrow potholed sidewinder of a drive we take at about 40 mph. Horvath gets nervous as we close on the reported party. We're passing Jeeps, old BMWs and trucks headed back to North Bend, just like last year, he says, before cops descended on a party at the trailhead only to discover 150 or so Eastlake High School students drinking kegs of root beer.
What are we going to find? Will this tire-chewing, muffler-eating ride be for naught? Tonight, two plain clothes officers, who look like they've spent a couple hard nights in the woods, are the first on scene. Out of the back of their sport-utility vehicle spring two Duvall cops and the bust is on. This year it's the Issaquah High "senior party" and there's no sign of root beer, only crunched cans of Keystone Ice, Rainier Ice, keg cups and a keg of Red Dog beer.
Cops with flashlights surround the twenty or so minors who are placed under arrest and sat down on a piece of driftwood to await processing. Some smoke cigarettes defiantly as they're divided into groups. Demian Beckner, 18, gets a reading of .048 when he blows into Horvath's portable breathalyzer. "This is pathetic," says Beckner afterwards. "We're good kids. There are over 15 cops here."
His friend, J.D. Benson, 19, agrees. "I think they're taking things a little overboard and they ought to let kids have a little fun," says Benson. He blows a .001, but how could that be, he asks, claiming to have only drank Coke and Snapple tonight. Later he is retested and twice blows in the .04 range. A trooper notes Benson's tongue is coated, a sign, he says, the youth has been drinking.
Both Benson and Beckner are cited for misdemeanor Minor in Consumption and released. But nine minors under 18, five boys and four girls, aren't so lucky. They're loaded in the back of the Sheriff's bus for the 51-mile ride back to Kenmore. It'll be 3 a.m. by the time they arrive at the station. One will want to call his parents, to tell them he's still alive, but a police clerk will call his, and the others, parents to come and get them.
Sgt. Johns terms this an "average bust" for the year. Among the catch is a minor who'd been caught the week before at a Mercer Island party. So far, about 170 minors have been arrested for MIP and MIC. Besides this party, police break up a small gathering in Shoreline. Craig Phillips, Northshore School District security chief who says he rides along for fun, notes that no students from the district have been caught by the patrol this year. But he says that being in or close to Snohomish County, some Northshore kids party up there where this is no patrol.
As we head back to the precinct, I ask Horvath how he feels about the bust. After a long pause, he says, "I think in the long run it's good for the kids. Now they're angry, but it keeps them off the roads and it alerts their parents to watch what their kids are doing." Johns says the patrol, in its second year, will continue through the month.

PATENT OEEicE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 782,994, dated February 21, 1905.
Application filed May 6, 1904. Serial No. 206,640.
tion, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to station'indicators,
but more particularly to the construction of the winding-rollers of the name-sheet, and has for its object to provide a device of this class which effectually provides for a uniform and easy movement and winding of the name sheet without straining the same.
It is a fact well known that when a namesheet secured at both ends to rollers is wound or unwound from one of said rollers onto or off of the other the roll of the sheet wound on one of the rollers increases in circumferenee, while the roll of the name-sheet on the other roller diminishes. It is evident, therefore, that if these rollers are revolved uniformly the roll of the name-sheet having the greater circumference will take up more of the name-sheet on one revolution than can be unwound from the other roller in one revolution. The consequence of this is an undue strain upon the name-sheet and upon the rollers, and if the name-sheet is of any length a point will be reached when the rollers cannot further revolve. It is for the purpose of obviating this difficulty and for providing a simple construction of winding-rollers that my invention particulary consists.
My invention, however, further consists in certain combinations of parts, which will be first fully described and afterward specifically pointed out in the appended claims.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation showing a namesheet, partly broken away, and the two winding-rollers and the d riving-roller arranged and constructed in accordance with my invention.
Fig. 2 is an end view of one of the windingrollers, an outer or covering end plate being removed; and Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the rollers, the winding-rollers being shown with the end flanges removed. A casing is also shown in section.
Like numerals of reference indicate the same parts throughout the several figures, in which 1 indicates the station-indicator casing, within which the rollers, name-sheet, and operating mechanism are contained.
2 and 3 indicate the sides of the indicator, within which the driving-roller 4 and the winding-rollers 5 and 6 are journaled.
7 indicates the name sheet, having the ends thereof secured to the winding-rollers 5 and 6, said sheet passing over suitable small rollers 8 and 9 and 10, arranged as shown in Fig. 3.
11 and 12 indicate two tension-rollers located above the drivingroller for the purpose of giving the name-sheet a greater hearing, or rather for the purpose of increasing the contact of said name-sheet on the surface of the driving-roller 4. It will be seen by referring to Fig. 1 that the driving-roller 4 is constructed, preferably, hollow, and the circumference of said roller is provided with a series of rows of tangs or projections 13.
14 indicates a bevel-wheel secured to the shaft of the driving-roller, and 15 indicates a bevel-pinion meshing therewith, while 16 indicates a chain of gearing for reversing the name-sheet and for transn'iitting power from the motor 17 to the driving-roller 4.
Referring to Fig. 1, it will be seen that the lower winding-roller 6 is shown partly in section and that the ends of said winding-rollers are provided with a flange 18, said flange being hollowed out, as shown, said flanges on said winding-rollers being for the purpose of guiding the name-sheet and insuring the same against any lateral movement while being wound on said rollers. The rollers 5 and 6 are provided with a small bore 19, extending a short distance within the roller, within which bore is fitted a metal tube 20.
21 indicates the shaft, which is shown having an enlarged portion entering the tube 20 in the Connected to said shaft 21 is a coilroller.
spring 22, said spring being connected at its outer end to the flange 18, as shown in Fig. 2. Secured on the outer end of said shaft in each of the rollers 5 and 6 are sprocket-wheels 23, over which the sprocket-chain 24 passes.
Having thus described the several parts of my invention, its operation is as follows: The name-sheet 7 winding 011' the roller 5 and onto the roller 6, said name-sheet being driven by the driving-roller 4, the roll on the windingroller 6 greatly increases in circumference, while the roll on the winding-roller 5 greatly diminishes. It is necessary that the namesheet be wound on the winding-roller 6 as it is being unwound from the driving-roller 5. In other words, the two winding-rollers must revolve simultaneously. Consequently they must be connected, as by the sprocket-chain 23. However, as the name-sheet is unwound from the driving-roller 5 and wound on thedrivingroller 6 the winding of the name-sheet from the roller 5 sufficient to cause one revolution of said roller is not sufflcient to cause one revolution of the roller 6, owing to the greater circumference of the roll on said roller 6. It
. is obvious, therefore, that were these rollers 5 and 6 so connected that they were ever to revolve uniformly a great strain would be turned upon the name-sheet, and there would be a point where the rollers would cease to revolve, or if forced to revolve the name-sheet must necessarily be torn in two. By my invention, however, as shown in the drawings and previously described, the shafts 21, carrying the sprockets over which the sprocket-chain 2 L passes, are not permanently or directly attached to the rollers 5 and 6, but are attached, as described, to the coil-spring 22. It is obvious, therefore, that said shafts 21 can be revolved without revolving the rollers 5 and 6, or they can be revolved a full revolution and impart only a half-revolution to the winding-rollers 5 and 6. \Vhen, therefore, the name-sheet is being unwound from the roller 5 and onto the roller 6, one revolution of the roller 5 will revolve the shaft 21 of roller 6, but said roller 6 will only be revolved that part of a revolution which will be necessary to take up the nameshect unwound from roller 5 and to give to said sheet a proper tension and hold the same flat within the indicator-casing. WV hen the motion of the name-sheet is reversed and the name-sheet is being unwound from roller 6 and onto roller 5, one revolution ,of roller 6 will require probably two or three revolutions of roller 5 in order to take up the namesheet unwound ofl of roller 6 and to compensate for the disparity in the circumferences of the rolls on said rollers. It is therefore obvious that the name-sheet can be run first in one direction and then in the other and that it can be wound and unwound on and off the winding-rollers without in any way unduly straining the name-sheet, but at the same time giving suflicient tension to said sheet to hold the same flat within the indicator-casing.
Having thus described the several parts of my invention, I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the eXact construction herein set forth, as various slight changes may be made therein which would fall within the limit and scope of my invention, and I consider myself clearly entitled to all such changes and modifications.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, 1s-
1. In a station-indicator, the combination of a driving-roller and means for actuating the same, a name-sheet on said driving-roller, tangs on said driving-roller to engage said name-sheet, tension-rollers associated with said driving-roller, winding-rollers having flanges on their ends, one flange on each of said rollers being hollow, and each roller being provided with a bore therein, a metal tube in said bore, ashaftin said tube, and a sprocket on the end of said shaft, a coil-spring housed within each of said hollow flanges on said winding-rollers, one end of said spring being connected to said hollow flange, the other end of said spring being connected to said shaft, and means connecting the shafts of the winding-rollers, substantially as described.
2. In a station-indicator, the combination of a driving-roller, winding-rollers associated therewith, a name-sheet on said rollers, ahollow flange on the ends of said winding-rollers, a shaft entering the end of each of said winding-rollers, a coil-spring housed within said hollow flange and connected at one end to said shaft and at its other end to said hollow flange, said flange also acting to guide said namesheet, substantially as described and for the purposes set forth.
In testimony whereof I affiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.

Start DateNovember 1, 2012
Hey There,
My name is Tal, and I'm part of Pluralis- a new crowd sourced marketplace for Landing Page Optimization.
What do we do? We connect online businesses that want to improve the conversion rate of their landing pages with a community of creative optimizers, ROI oriented copywriters, web designers and internet marketing professionals. The client creates an optimization contest on his landing page. The optimizers enters the contest and make changes on the client's landing page using our on-page editor. After A/B testing, our system objectively points on the best landing page copy and the winning optimizer receives a great performance based reward.
To get a better understanding of how this works, check out this video:
What do I want from you?
As we're always on a mission to strengthen our community and get more winners in our contests, we're always evaluating new business models.
With the current compensation model, the community is not receiving money for offering a copy, and they can win great rewards- From $1,000 to $5,000 and even more. The reward is split between the winner and Pluralis. 70% of the reward goes to the winner, 30% to Pluralis.
In addition to that I would also like to hire oDesk contractors, in 2 different manners:
1. Hourly rate: These contractors if hired will work regularly on an hourly base. They will not be eligible to receive the reward in case they win. If they win a contest the reward will go in full to Pluralis.
2. Fixed price: Which will be agreed upon per contractor. The contractor which will work with a fixed price will also be eligible to 50% of the reward if he wins the contest.
Our rewards range from $300-$5,000.
The work is per contest. A contest opens in Pluralis, and then according to the need I hire oDesk contractors.
The copy you submit when you're hired to join a contest must be good!! We will be highly disappointed if we see you changed one word or moved one content block and submitted. We are expecting highly creative thinking and professional execution.
This is meant to be an on going contract between you and us, and a very rewarding one. Throughout the contract you're also welcome to enter contests on your own and be eligible to win 70% of the reward offered to the winner (like in the existing business model).
I know this is not your everyday job, that's why it's much more interesting and can be much more rewarding. I'm looking forward to hearing from you, showing you around the marketplace and how it works, and maybe starting a wonderful working relationship.
To understand more about how the community works you can watch this video:

Looking forward to hearing from you,

"Rhea has long been overlooked as one of the least interesting of Saturn's moons. It doesn't have Titan's Earth-like features, Enceladus' cryovolcanoes or Hyperion's Swiss-cheese texture, but seems to be a rather lifeless, dull world. However, surprising observations during Cassini's close flybys in 2005 and 2010 revealed a series of mysterious, fascinating questions that show: It is worth to examine Saturn's second largest moon closer!
Firstly, Rhea has some interesting geological features: Patterns in the heavily cratered surface of its leading hemisphere give rise to the suspicion that some major resurfacing event occurred during the moon's history, although today no geological activity can be observed anymore. In contrast, the moon's trailing side is covered with light, wispy grabens and canyons whose exact creation is still unknown. In addition to close-up images of the surface, the Cassini orbiter might use its Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer and the Composite Infrared Spectrometer to learn more about Rhea's geological history and composition.
Another fascinating phenomenon is the occurrence of strange electromagnetic effects happening around the moon. During a close flyby in November 2005, Cassini's Magnetospheric Imaging Instrument witnessed a significant decline in the flux of electrons within Rhea's Hill sphere. Measurements with other instruments of the spacecraft had ruled out the possibility of an atmosphere around the moon – so, after several computer simulations and the detailed analysis of symmetrical patterns in the electron absorption, only one astonishing theory remained: Similar to his "parent" Saturn, Rhea has a system of three narrow rings orbiting around its equator! However, numerous images taken by Cassini with various techniques and from different angles never showed evidence for rings around the moon, so the exact cause for the unique electromagnetic effects around Rhea is still unknown. Detailed close-up images with Cassini's Narrow Angle Camera could bring new light into this thrilling mystery and might prove that rings can not only exist around planets!
Very recently discovered and also really interesting is the exchange of materials between Saturn's icy moons, the E-ring and the planet's magnetic environment, creating colourful patterns on the satellite's surfaces. On Dione, Tethys and Rhea reddish areas were found that are thought to be caused by tiny particle strikes by circulating plasma. Even more fascinating, Cassini's cameras revealed a unique chain of bluish splotches around Rhea's equator. This phenomenon does not seem related to icy material erupted from Enceladus' cryovolcanoes but appears to result from surface disruption, exposing fresh, blue ice on old crater rims. A possible cause for this unique feature could be the crash of orbiting material into the moon's surface in the not-too-distant past – evidence for a former or maybe still existing ring system around Rhea?
All in all, a close-up image of Rhea taken with Cassini's Narrow Angle Camera has the highest scientific value. Supported with measurements by other instruments of the spacecraft, it can provide valuable information about the moon's geological history, the various colourful patterns on its surface and the possible existence of a ring system around it."
