What's the Difference? Brother TN620 vs TN650 Toner
It's something every printer owner faces: A complicated list of similar, yet teeny bit different, cartridge numbers. If you're an owner of, say, a Brother 5340 or 8480 laser printer, you'll find yourself in this category. Are you supposed to use the TN-620 or similarly named TN-650 toner cartridge?a The answer? Either one works–they're interchangeable. The TN-620 is what's called a low-yield toner cartridge, while the TN-650 is considered a high-yield cartridge. Based on the criteria (5% page coverage) set by the International Standards Organization (ISO), the TN-620 yields up to 3,000 pages and the TN-650 up to 8,000 pages–hence the use of "low" and "high." Otherwise, the TN-620 and TN-650 are the same. They fit the same fifteen Brother printer models, use the same cartridge, and come from the same factory. SuperMediaStore retails the original Brother low-yield TN-620 for $63.97 and the high-yield TN-650 for $92.99 Here's where LINKYO comes in. LINKYO offers its own brand of TN-620 and TN-650 toner cartridges that are fully compatible with Brother printers without voiding your printer's warranty. LINKYO's toner cartridges match Brother's in page yield, image clarity, and durability. So what's the difference? Price. LINKYO offers you identical quality and quantity, but for a fraction less. Just see the price difference: original Brother TN-620 retails for $64, but LINKYO sells its own cartridge for just $26–almost 40% off the price. That's only half the picture. LINKYO will upgrade any customer's TN-620 cartridge to a TN-650 for free. Compare LINKYO's TN-650 to Brother's and you save over 70%. OEM-level quality and quantity for ⅓ the cost–all with FREE SHIPPING and an extensive two-year money-back guarantee. To make a great deal even better, use LINKYO's coupon code LY13BG and get an extra 10% off. No ifs, ands, or buts–$25.99 for a high-yield TN-650 toner cartridge with free shipping and an added 10% off. It doesn't get any better. No Banner to display +LINKYO...read more
What's the Difference? Brother TN330 vs TN360 Toner
You may have been wondering about the Brother TN330 vs TN360 toner cartridges mentioned in the manual after realizing the starter cartridge that came with your new Brother printer only yields about 1,000 pages. Making the right choice can save you money once you understand the differences outlined below. To be sure, those starter cartridges have a maddeningly reduced output compared to the standard cartridges. Brother is not the only manufacturer to do this since they all want to get you into the flow of cartridge replacement quickly and keep the initial cost of the printer down without the disappointment that comes when the box doesn't include everything to get started. Even so, Brother is among the few that offer varying models of cartridges like the TN330 or TN360 for their printers – mainly to play to two crowds: The first group are those who want to find the lowest cost replacement to get them past the current lack of toner; The other group are those who are willing to pay more for a cartridge that needs to be replaced less often. Of course, all of this presumes that the new Brother printer user is convinced they need only the Brother brand name toner to maintain print quality or to protect their printer warranty. So, for those who do check the manual, the question then comes to whether the TN330 is sufficient or should they go to a TN360 and are these completely interchangeable? What's more, can you get quality print output with cartridges made by other companies to fit these Brother printers? The first thing to acknowledge is that printer manufacturers follow an ISOIEC Standard for toner page yield at 5% coverage. We explain this in our post about page yield. This actually allows the common user to compare the number of pages they should get from different toner cartridges and from different manufacturers. As for many Brother printer models that use TN330 or TN360 toner cartridges, the starter cartridge yields about 1,000 pages. This assumes you are printing a relatively standard text-based document. A Brother TN330 cartridge is rated to give 1,500 pages at that same 5% coverage. On the other hand, a TN360 toner cartridge will produce 2,600 – almost twice as much. So, let's say in the course of a year you print through two cases of paper at 10 reams each. That is 10,000 pages. If you were using TN330 cartridges, you would burn thorough 6.66 of them. Suppose instead you bought TN360 toner cartridges because they are completely interchangeable, but you get more toner in these ones. That would be about 3.865 cartridges. Sure, that is fewer cartridges, but does that translate to saving money? As of this writing, at office supply stores, an original Brother TN330 is about $50 and you would have used about $330 (6.66 X $50) in toner. Had you spent about $70 for an OEM Brother TN360, you would have expended about $270.55 (3.865 X $70) to do the same amount of printing. Is saving about $60 worth it to you? What is more, according to industry estimates, each cartridge is responsible for the consumption of 5-9 pounds of virgin materials and resources. So, by reducing the sheer number of cartridges needed for printing a given number of pages, you can shrink your impact on the limited resources of the earth. Therefore, it could save you money to use a TN360. In fact, many aftermarket manufacturers, like LINKYO, provide a Brother TN360 compatible toner cartridge as a free upgrade to TN330 orders because it doesn't make sense...read more
Can Brother TN450 Compatible Toner Save You Money?
No Banner to display We all want to get more from our printers while paying less. Is there such a thing in the cluttered world of inks and toners? Sure, and the Brother TN450 toner cartridge is a great example…while its identical cousin, the TN420, is…less so. But why? As you can probably tell from the image above, both cartridges are appear to be virtually the same–except that one is a low-yield cartridge, while the other is high-yield. The Brother TN420 and TN450 are interchangeable and compatible with the same Brother laser printers Here's a chart of those printers: Compatible Brother Printer Models HL-2130 HL-2132 HL-2220 HL-2230 HL-2240 HL-2240D HL-2242D HL-2250DN HL-2270DW HL-2280DW Intellifax 2840 Intellifax 2940 DCP-7060D DCP-7065DN MFC-7240 MFC-7360N MFC-7460DN MFC-7860DW The Brother TN420 yields fewer pages than the TN450. The TN420 yields up to 1,200 pages at a price of $44.99 (as currently listed on the OEM's online store). The TN450, by comparison, yields up to 2,600 pages. at an OEM-listed price of $68.49. If you break down the numbers, the TN420 will cost you 4¢, while the TN450 will run you only 3¢. No matter what way you look at it, the TN450 is the better value. Another way of looking at the TN450's advantage is through environmental savings. The fewer cartridges you use, the less oil being spent on manufacturing (it takes three quarts to make one cartridge) and the less CO2 being spewed into Earth's atmosphere. The TN450 is the more efficient solution–plain and simple. LINKYO offers its own brand of TN450 toner cartridges for much less than competitors. Our TN450 retails for only $29.99!

What is Hard to Find Quality Color Printer Toner?
You may find through trial and error that not all color toner printer cartridges use the same quality of ink particles. The truth is that the size of the toner particles has been an ongoing problem within the industry. Here's a bit of the science behind this issue with color toner. The smaller the dust-like toner particles, the less likely they are to clog the print heads. At 8 microns, the particles are less than half of the size in circumference of a single strand of your hair. A cartridge using 8 micron toner provides 600 DPI print resolution. The 600 DPI refers to the diameter of the laser beam capable of producing 600 dots per inch. The color printer toner particles consist of plastic resins, coloring pigments and other ingredients, which must, at a low heat, be melted into liquid. When delivered to the paper by the cartridge's electrostatic drum unit, the particles are then sort of squashed into a solid and fused to the paper as this liquid makes contact. The resins give toner the ability to go from fine powder to plastic solid. As you can imagine, the problems your color toner cartridges might have will really be magnified when they clog the print heads or leak. This is especially true with color more so than black as the tolerances are finer, meaning there's more chance of breaking the seal and leaking. If you do have a toner particle spill, wipe up with a damp cloth. A household vacuum will not be best for this cleanup due to electrostatic electricity. The real key to getting the best color printing available is in the quality of the printer or copier that you are using. You need to know the internal color depth resolution capabilities of your printer or copier. Older models provide 18-bit color depth compared to the newer standard model printers or copiers that offer 24-bit on the internal color depth resolution chart. The higher the bit count on the color depth chart, the better the quality of your color copies. For instance, using the internal color depth resolution scale, 1-bit is the equivalent of black and white printing. The best inks available will mean nothing if the quality of the printer is not up to par. The more color cartridges that your printer uses, the better resolution and crispness of color. Most laser printers use either one or four toner cartridges. The printers that use just one toner cartridge are monochrome (black only). The printers that use four cartridges typically have black, cyan, magenta and yellow. That being said, the print quality is also realized by the quality of the toner cartridges that you are using. They are not all created equal, as you have undoubtedly experienced. And remember, you do not have to use OEM toner cartridges to get the best quality. There are a number of really good remanufactured or compatible toner cartridges that provide excellent color quality such as LINKYO brand. When you replace your used up toner cartridges, be sure to thoroughly shake the new replacement toner cartridge. A simple step such as this can keep the powdered toner from clumping inside the toner cartridge, giving you a much more even distribution of toner eliminating poor print quality. The problems that you are having with the color quality of your printing or copying may not be related to the toner cartridges at all, but more of a problem with how the printer or copier has been maintained, which may involve cleaning.

Why are New Drums Important on Remanufactured Toner?
In the bad ol' days of remanufactured toner cartridges, the so called "drill-and-fill" cartridges gave remanufactured toners a bad rap. Instead of replacing any of the parts, as many do today, the drill-and-fill guys would simply drill into the casing, squirt in the toner and send it off to market without regard for parts that may have become unusable and worn, such as toner drums. One of the most important components in use on a remanufactured toner cartridge is a new drum unit. The electrostatically charged drum unit transfers the toner particles to the paper where they are fused by heated rollers during printing. Due to the toner drums' vital role in the complex orchestration of printing, most top remanufacturers always replace the toner drums in cartridges because doing so is essential in maintaining the same quality of an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) toner cartridge. Because a toner drum is one of the first parts to fail in a remanufactured toner cartridge due to wear, you will want to make sure that the brands that you are buying replace the drums. When the drums go kaput, they can dump toner throughout your printer or copier. A failing drum unit will also dramatically reduce the quality of your print or copy job, and eventually the unit can become unusable. Companies that remanufacture toner cartridges without replacing the drums, are not looking out for the consumer's best interest. You can bet those companies do not guarantee their products either, as replacement and cleanup for failed remanufactured toner cartridges can be costly. The top remanufacturers will typically replace all of the worn parts, including the drum units. They open the used OEM cartridge and inspect all of the inner components looking for wear and possible failure if used further. They clean all of the parts and only reuse what they can to maintain the quality of an OEM toner cartridge. Because the drum unit uses seals that could leak when old or worn, the drum units should always be replaced. This points out a big difference between a remanufactured and compatible toner cartridges. The compatible cartridge is essentially a copy of the OEM with all new parts. The manufacturer must make minute changes, such as with the casing shape, in order to keep from infringing on the OEM cartridge patent rights. This may cause the cartridge to fit differently, although many work just fine even so. Also compatible cartridges use very low cost parts to keep the pricing down. The advantage in reusing the OEM casing such as the remanufactured toner cartridges do, is that you can be assured that it will fit into your printer or copier just like a new one from the manufacturer out of the box. Before selecting a brand, read the reviews to see what others who have tried the cartridges think. Websites for magazines like PC World publish reviews, as does CNET. Online stores such as SuperMediaStore.com encourage customers to post unbiased reviews. Reviews are posted on the individual product pages. Or if you already have a supplier you trust, check brand specific reviews at its site. One top brand that has been proven to be reliable and cost effective is LINKYO, and when you purchase remanufactured toner cartridges from LINKYO, you can rest assured the toner drums have been replaced with new ones. +Scott Roy Smith +LINKYO...read more
Are ISO Certifications Important for Printer Toner?
What is ISO and why do companies such as LINKYO adhere to its standards for toner cartridges like the Brother TN450 compatible and value being recognized for doing so? And just as importantly, what do ISO certifications mean to the purchaser of toner cartridges? Each toner cartridge, like this Brother TN450 Compatible, is tested to LINKYO's high standards, ensuring they meet ISO 14001 and 19001 certifications. ISO stands for the International Organization for Standardization. ISO provides certification in areas such as Quality Management to businesses, including toner manufacturers, that meet its criteria. Its publication, "ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems – Requirements" is a hefty 30 pages plus supplemental material that is available in many countries. Additionally, ISO 14000 environmental standards with requirements throughout the supply chain are also honored worldwide. A company can also earn ISO certification for following the map that ISO 14000 sets forth for an effective environmental management system. Doing so can help the toner manufacturer to: Reduce waste, and therefore waste management costs. Increase savings in the consumption of energy and materials. Decrease distribution costs. Improve the company's image in the eyes of regulators, customers and the general public. Not all ISO standards and certifications – food safety management, for example – apply to toner manufacturing. And not all ISO standards are certifiable; for example, ISO 26000:2010 – Social responsibility provides guidelines instead of requirements, and therefore ISO doesn't certify for this. However, the guidelines can help a business because, after all no business is an island. Following ISO guidelines for social responsibility can help the business function better in its social and environmental setting and thus improve its bottom line. So getting back to the Quality Management ISO certification. The aforementioned document details requirements for toner manufactures that want to meet the standards of ISO, standards that are designed to help ensure these businesses meet the needs of their customers and shareholders. More than 1 million companies and organizations worldwide are independently certified, according to Wikipedia's article on ISO. This makes ISO 9001, as a management tool, one of the most widely used in the world today. Businesses that have met the standard set forth by ISO 9001 have raised the bar and are looked on very favorably within the business community. Many companies concerned with quality refuse to do business with a manufacturer that is not ISO-certified. This is especially important for companies operating in countries such as China that are already under the consumer microscope. Recognizing a good opportunity for better PR, China has had more organizations certified by ISO 9001 than other country in the world. The last reported count for China was 257,076 in 2009. In contrast, theUnited Stateshad 28,935 businesses certified by ISO 9001 in 2009. ISO helps create the benchmark in any industry because it covers all or nearly all phases of the supply process from raw source materials through to the delivery of the final product. So how does this relate to toner manufacturing? We have determined that ISO certification is a useful way to assess the standardization of manufacturing procedures as a management system. However, it does not lend itself to being a quality award. It simply records the procedure in which a product is made not the quality of the product it represents. The fact that a company has achieved the ISO certification speaks to how well a business is running, given that the business must document its entire supply process. Not an easy task at all. It logically follows a toner manufacturer that earned ISO certification would not use substandard materials in their products or take shortcuts in the manufacturing...read more

Yerevan's Writers' Union held several meetings on the events in Ukraine. The participants came to the conclusion that a change of government, rather than a revolution is the way out for the country, Term.am.'s website reported today.
Yerevan's writers believe that it is time for a change for Armenia as well. This can be achieved only by changing the government and Prime Minister. They will appeal to President Sargsyan in the near future. They expressed a particular lack of confidence in the Armenian Minister of Energy.
"The Minister of Energy is unaware of these issues and I would not put him in charge of holding talks on the energy sector," chairman of the union said.

How Much Does a Soccer Nickname Matter in Atlanta, Minnesota and New York?
How much is a good nickname worth?
It could be the difference between failure and success for a professional soccer franchise in the U.S.
I know it seems a little curious or impertinent to say a franchise's fortunes rise or fall on a nickname, but the nickname is typically representative of a bigger ideal.
Nicknames inspire and galvanize attention. Communities can become more involved depending on a nickname. A great nickname can make it seem like there's a greater cause to be made.
There are times when the ideals behind a new team/club trump any average nickname. If there is an awesome stadium, great players or passionate support groups, an average or bad nickname can be overcome.
Overall, what attracts fans to watch their local pro soccer team live or on Tv is determined by an array of factors. It's a long conversation.
But, to disregard the influence of a nickname is a mistake.
If the right nickname is branded well and the area accepts it as their own, then, it becomes harder for any new investors to come in and steal a franchise away.
I think the Seattle Sounders and Portland Timbers are perfect examples. Why reinvent the wheel and brand a new team if the nickname matches perfectly to the area's identity.
While in the minor leagues, the owner of the Sounders was able to position himself to sell off interests in the team at a much higher price when the prospects for MLS came around. Seattle's owner, Adrian Hanauer, did that in 2007 and did very well for himself even though Seattle was in the minor leagues averaging 3,000 fans or so in attendance per home game (In Portland, they were able to brand 'Timbers' while the team was in the minor leagues, too. Branding an area's team in the minor leagues is also happening in outstanding fashion with the Indy 'Eleven'.).
It can be said that a battle involving nicknames in pro soccer is waging or about to be waged in Atlanta, Minnesota and New York.
In Atlanta, it appears Arthur Blank, owner of the NFL Atlanta Falcons will be trying to start an MLS franchise very soon.
What will be the strategy for the new MLS team? Will they try to buy the NASL Atlanta Silverbacks naming rights?
Last year, the NASL Atlanta franchise did a survey and voters got to choose their team's nickname between 'Silverbacks' or 'Chiefs', which was an old NASL Atlanta soccer nickname. The voters selected 'Silverbacks.'
What I like about 'Silverbacks' is the actual animal, which is unique and neat, but I also like the idea of a shortened nickname to just 'Backs.' It can be used as a mascot with a gorilla theme and it also goes well in soccer with positions like 'fullbacks.'
The question in Atlanta becomes whether the Silverbacks are considered Atlanta's soccer team or not, like the discussion above relates.
In Minnesota, there appears to be two sides going for an MLS team. One side are the NFL Minnesota Vikings owners and the other side is NASL's Minnesota United FC (partnered with the owners of the Minnesota Twins). Again, part of the solution is in the question of whether the branding is complete and United FC is the team or not.
My feeling is that the obvious best nickname for any pro Minnesota soccer team is the 'Kicks.' If it were me with the big bucks, I would buy the rights to the 'Kicks' and reload on my branding (and probably get a more modern logo). This could be the best of all pro soccer nicknames.
In New York, again, I gotta go with the obvious.
-With the New York Red Bulls technically playing in New Jersey, I see them belonging to a variety of communities, including ones in Jersey.
Any pro soccer team in New York with big bucks should be thinking of only one nickname, 'Cosmos.'
Right now, the team without the big bucks playing in New York is the NASL New York Cosmos and the new team getting ready for MLS has a pretty sour and dour name, NYCFC. There are challenges ahead with an FC name, just ask Dallas and Toronto.
I project this all to end in the new MLS New York team's favor. Inevitably, they will see the light and fork over the big bucks to buy the rights to 'Cosmos.'

For Minnesota, I think bring back the Kicks name is a bad idea. We (in MN) have had continuous pro soccer for the last 23 or 24 years (I forget which); all under other names. The longest period was as the Minnesota Thunder, but that team was run into the ground by a [literally] con man - who fled the country without paying the players or staff. Local entities supported follow on teams under the Stars banner (the Thunder name was held up in litigation). Now that MN United FC has real owners, their branding is solid.ReplyDelete
Check out the MN United website, and I think most would agree that the logo, uniforms, brand are good. (For the record, the nickname is the Loons - and the jersey and logo depict a loon - the work of Zeus Jones). Even though the Kicks had a season with avg attendance above 30k (second only to the Cosmos), most MN soccer fans identify more with the Thunder/Stars and now the Loons. And with ownership investing in the team and the brand, I think the Loons will only get better.
No reason to bring back the Kicks.
Minnesota Loons !!!ReplyDelete

Realistic Drag Tree Simulator, Voice activated Drag Race Log Sheet Recorder/ET Predictor, G-Force Launch Tool and a Drag Racing Expense Tracker. Designed by a 11 year bracket racer.
*** Version 4.1 updated on 10/16/2014. If you have previous version 2.2 thru 3.1, you will have to remove the old versions from your device and install the current 3.9 version. All previous data will be lost when updating to current version. ***
There are 3 parts to the app that will help you out:
1. A Drag Tree Simulator that gives the most realistic feel outside of the real thing.
Choose Sportsman or Pro tree setups. Chose which lane you like to race in. Actual brake and gas pedal to give the exact feeling of being in the drag car. You can move forward anywhere on the staging light including deep staging. Life like image of tree coming at you as you creep forward. Foot Braking action along with Trans braking option. Have this portable app with you at all times. As all drag racers know, the race is won or lost at the tree.
Get a perfect 0.000 light and enter your name and state on the GDR Perfect Light Winners list. Get multiple perfect lights and be the top of the list as King of the Tree.
2. First Ever Digital Drag Racing Log Sheet and E.T. Predictor.
No need to purchase a drag race log book anymore. Start by Voice Activated or manual input from each of your time or round runs. The Temperature, Barometer and Humidity are automatically loaded in by wireless networks and or GPS. Your data can be saved then for further viewing and also shared on Facebook, Twitter, Email, MMS, Bluetooth and many more. The drag racing digital log sheet works for both 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile racing.
In the Predict ET, the information for Temperature, Barometer and Humidity is automatically loaded by the closes weather station using wireless networks and or GPS. As the search compares all three values, the search will come back to show you your last E.T.(s) that closely match the previous recorded runs. Due note: The more runs inputted, the more accurate the ET predictor becomes a more valuable tool.
3. G-force Recorder for Drag Car Setups
A G-force recorder is not only for helping with car setups, but also for entertainment use. You can use the back ground image supplied on the app or use your camera function and record the run down the track with all G-force results shown.
G-force and wear it's applied on the drag car can be a useful tool when trying to set-up the perfect launch. Watching the patterns of the G-force readings when launching from the line, you will be able to see which direction the G-force shows on the rear tires. Is the G-force reading showing the position dead center when launching or more on the right tire? By adjusting your suspension and the tire pressure, you will be able to fine tune that perfect straight launch at the line and improve your 60ft times. Mount your device up straight in the center of dashboard for best results.
Drag Racing Expense Sheet.
Now you can record all of your drag racing expenses for tax purposes or just curious of the true cost of drag racing. Able to take photos of receipts for each input cost. Export to Excel or share thru Email.
Works on 7" and 10" Tablets
A Drag Racing App the stays with the driver from the Staging Lanes (GDR Practice Tree), Down the Track (GDR G-Force Recorder) and back at the Pits (GDR Log Sheet/ ET Predictor)
Drag Racing Forum and website links for news and information.
Note: Any problems with this app on your device, please contact support for any fixes or for a refund. Bad reviews don't fix the problem your having. If you like the app please give a nice review for others to see. All funds made go back into the app for future improvements. I'm am working hard to make this a great bracket racing app.

Continually exceeds my expectations.

It was excellent for these reasons: the gym, the location, the gym, the common areas, it's proximity to Harri Read Mores teeter and the gym
January 13, 2016
It is more than an apartment building. It is a community of people who know each other and often share activit Read Moreies. I say it is assisted living for the under 50 set. You don't need to leave the building unless you want or need to. Between the concierge, building and maintenance staff - they take good care of you. The gym and pool are great and with an underground garage to Harris Teeter and public spaces with WiFi, grills, gardens and a Starbucks machine.....you don't have to leave everything you need is here. The NoMa community is growing, it's a great place to be.

Do you glue?
If you're a book lover, you might be interested in using Glue, a new (or newish) add-on for your browser.
Glue is all about connections--connecting you with others. When you visit the sites you would normally visit anyway--Amazon, Barnes & Noble, GoodReads, LibraryThing, Powell's Books, etc., you'll find that glue is there and waiting for you. You can mark books as your favorites. You can even share your thoughts on the book--keeping it short and sweet! But perhaps more importantly, you can see what others think about a particular book. You'll see if any of your friends like the book. You'll also see what other people thought about it. (You might discover someone who shares your tastes in books and make a new friend...or two...or three). Glue knows that a book is a book is a book.
It's easy to use. I don't even have to think about it. I find myself going to bookish sites all day long, and glue is just along for the ride.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
I am a physician and work at one hospital and moonlight at a second hospital. My primary job gives me a W-2 at the end of the year as I am employed by the hospital. The other hospital (my second job where I moon light) gives me a 1099 at the end of the year and do not with hold any taxes. Currently I have been filing taxes as married filing jointly and declare the income from the second hospital on a schedule C.
Would it be better for me to form a LLC?? Would I get more tax deductions if I form a LLC or should I just keep getting the 1099. I can still file a schedule C without forming a LLC and take all the tax deductions. Tax deductions would be things like deducting my lease payments on the car, deducting cell phone, home office, medical conferences etc.
Should the LLC be a disregarded entity or should I file another form with the IRS to make it a corporation.
If your main purpose to operate via an LLC is for tax benefits then there is no difference than a Schedule C taxpayer. You get the same deductions via a Schedule C as you do via the LLC (substantially the same). Also know that if you are the sole owner of the LLC you must file a Schedule C in lieu of a Form 1065. (This is required by the IRS) You can take all the deductions you mention through the Schedule C as you would through the LLC.
If you elect corporate status then you are in a totally different realm of taxation. Generally this is not recommended especially if you expect to have "profit" in the corporation. If the corporation is profitable it will pay taxes. When you take money out of the corporation it will generally be in the form of a dividend and will be taxable to you again. This is known as double taxation.
Hopefully I have answered your questions. Please let me know if you have any further questions or require more clarity.
The main benefit for you to form an LLC is the liability protection it offers. I can not provide an opinion as to the best "legal" form of business structure for you, generally that's what a lawyer will analyze and opine on. From a tax standpoint it doesn't matter what entity you choose.

Starkey: Expect sparks when Pens-Sens meet
This should be interesting.
For teams that really aren't rivals, the Penguins and Ottawa Senators have developed quite the rivalry — replete with verbal jousting, "WANTED" posters, Gary Roberts-level rage and even an alleged forensic investigation.
This will mark the teams' fourth playoff meeting in seven years.
The storylines are especially juicy.
Start with Matt Cooke, obviously, the man whose mug appears on "WANTED" posters in the Ottawa cheering sections. It's part of the creatively titled "Matt Cooke Hate Fest" that erupted after Cooke injured star defenseman Erik Karlsson in February.
The Senators made it clear they didn't think the play was an accident.
"It's Matt Cooke. What else should I say?" said Ottawa's excitable general manager, Bryan Murray. "Watch the replay."
Everyone who mattered watched the replay — and concluded that Cooke's skate blade unintentionally sliced into Karlsson's Achilles. Eugene Melnyk, the Senators' equally excitable, Barbados-based owner, vehemently disagreed.
Exhibiting a Ray Finkle-like obsession with his subject, Melnyk commissioned "experts" in Toronto to launch a "forensic" investigation into whether Cooke's act was premeditated.
No word on the results.
Murray, by the way, has a history with Sidney Crosby. It dates to Crosby's rookie year, when Murray was coaching the Senators and the two had a verbal in-game spat. Murray accused Crosby of using foul language (oh, the horror).
"Why would I yell at Bryan Murray?" Crosby said at the time. "That's what I want to know."
Last season, in Crosby's third game back from a 10-month absence, he was called for an elbow to Nick Foligno's head. The Penguins accused Foligno of going after Marc-Andre Fleury. Murray accused the Penguins of being hypocrites, in light of their defending Crosby's move after being vocal proponents of preventing head injuries.
The most significant storyline here is the Senators gaining serious momentum since losing to the Penguins' JV team April 22. But first a few others:
• Ottawa defenseman Sergei Gonchar was a vital member of the Penguins' 2009 Cup team and a father figure to Evgeni Malkin.
• Penguins GM Ray Shero cut his teeth as Senators' assistant GM from 1993-98. He worked under his current assistant director of amateur scouting, Randy Sexton, who not only was GM but also one of the Senators' founders (somebody should ask Sexton if he ever thought of launching a forensic investigation into the repeated big-game disappearances of Alexandre Daigle).
• Many Penguins veterans got their playoff baptism in Ottawa. It did not go well. The older, wiser Senators ambushed them in Game 1 in '07.
• Ottawa optometrist Dr. Janet Leduc, quite incredibly, got Fleury to switch pad colors from yellow to white by writing him in 2008. Given the way things went in the Islanders series, maybe he should switch back to yellow.
• Notable events from the teams' previous 15 playoff games: Pascal Dupuis winning the '10 series with a Game 6 overtime goal; Crosby scoring his first playoff winner in Game 2 in '07 (on a mid-air tip); Senators winning a three-overtime marathon here in '10 (Matt Carkner, of all people, scored); and Gary Roberts losing his mind at the end of Game 1 in '08.
Roberts nearly fought four Senators players. By then, the Penguins were quite familiar with Roberts' death stare. As Tyler Kennedy put it, "He's a very intense man."
This should be a very intense series, mostly because the #peskysens (popular Twitter hashtag for Senators) are rolling. They outscored the Canadiens, 20-9, and appear ready to welcome back injured star Jason Spezza.
Ottawa has a well-rounded defense, a bright new face up front in hometown hero Jean-Gabriel Pageau and maybe the best goaltending they've ever had in the form of Craig Anderson, a journeyman who, a la Tim Thomas, has discovered life in his 30s.
Oh, and they have quite the colorful coach in Paul MacLean, who was unfortunately dubbed a "bug-eyed, fat walrus" by Montreal's Brandon Prust in Round 1 and who took to referring to Canadiens players by their numbers. Example: P.K. Subban was "Player 76."
MacLean also delivered the line of the playoffs after calling timeout with 18 seconds left in a 6-1, Game 3 rout. Michel Therrien charged MacLean with trying to humiliate the Canadiens.
Replied MacLean: "They did a pretty good job of that themselves."

JEFFREY BROWN: Finally tonight, helping Iraqis who helped Americans during the war.
In 2008, Congress passed a law allowing up to 5,000 Iraqis who'd worked with Americans to come to the U.S. with their families as refugees each year. But the process of issuing visas has been slow. In no year has the number exceeded 1,500. And, since 2009, it's been falling.
In all, nearly 3,700 Iraqis have been given refugee status under this special program, along with a similar number of family members. Another 62,000 Iraqis have come here under other refugee programs.
We look at the situation now with Eric Schwartz, who, until October, was a top State Department official dealing with the issue. He's now dean of the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota. And Trudy Rubin is foreign affairs columnist for The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Trudy, I'll start with you. You have been writing on this a lot.
First, help people understand, what kind of people in what kind of situations are we talking about?
TRUDY RUBIN, The Philadelphia Inquirer: These are very special people. These are the Iraqis who worked for our military going out with them on raids or helping them on base. They couldn't have functioned without them.
They worked for our State Department, for our contractors, for journalists like myself, for aid agencies, both government and private. They were promised 5,000 visas a year, 25,000 in total. Only 3,800 have been issued so far. That's 18 percent.
And they have been threatened with death. Radical Shiite militias of Muqtada al-Sadr have said publicly that they will target these people and assassinate them. And yet they are being let in at a snail's pace. And the number is going down, 98 in October, 60 in November.
And another program that also lets in people who work for us is similarly blocked.
RAY SUAREZ: Eric Schwartz, first, do you agree that this is a big problem? And, if so, what accounts for what Trudy Rubin calls the snail's pace?
ERIC SCHWARTZ, former State Department official: First of all, I think it's fair to say that most people in government who work on this issue have as much passion about it as does Trudy.
And I think we need to take a step back and also realize that, since 2007, some 70,000 Iraqis have come into the United States through a variety of programs, as the citizens of Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles and many other cities around the country can attest. We have so many Iraqis who are here.
And I think it's important that we begin the discussion with that fact, that there is a deep commitment to bring Iraqis here. The program to which Trudy referred, the Special Immigrant Visa program, does have a ceiling of 5,000 a year. But that's not the program through which most Iraqis have come in. As I said, the Refugee Resettlement Program has resettled the vast majority of the 70,000.
JEFFREY BROWN: But a lot of the people who do want to come under that program, as she is saying, have found it very convoluted, complicated, impossible.
ERIC SCHWARTZ: Well, part of the problem is the program itself has been undersubscribed because Iraqis who are in Iraq who want to come to the United States often choose the refugee resettlement program, the program through which some 62,000 have come in, because in many respects it's easier to access. And, also, there are advantages to that refugee program that don't exist for the SIV program.
For example, more family members can often come in through this other program. This is not to say that Trudy's concerns don't have merit. More has to be done to move these cases more quickly and more expeditiously. But we have dual imperatives here.
TRUDY RUBIN: Can I respond?
JEFFREY BROWN: Yeah, go ahead.
JEFFREY BROWN: Go ahead.
TRUDY RUBIN: First of all, I was told by senior White House sources there are 1,500 Iraqis who have totally gone through all the paperwork, the interviews for the SIV process — that's the special visa process — they are pending. They are being held up for new security checks, even though many of them worked for the military and have already been vetted many times over.
I have also seen official figures that there are nearly 15,000 in the pipeline. These are Iraqis who worked for us who never left the country. Many of the refugees who were admitted under the programs that Eric spoke of are people who fled to Syria, to Jordan. These Iraqis stayed in Iraq. They were working for us. They were helping us.
And as a tribute to them, many military officers are desperately still trying to get their interpreters and their families out. I get slews of email for them. So this is a very real problem.
And there is a second program for Iraqis who worked for us in Baghdad. And there are 39,000 people, including family members, in that pipeline. So there are a lot of people who worked for us to whom we promised visas, and they are not getting them because of new security checks that are due to an incident in May when two Iraqis in Kentucky who did not work for Americans, never worked for them, were found to have terrorist connections.
But the new security checks are blocking everyone. And that is why things are frozen.
JEFFREY BROWN: All right, let me get… Let me let — all right, let me let Eric Schwartz respond to that on the security issue.
ERIC SCHWARTZ: Sure. And let me make two quick points.
First, of the 70,000 or so who have come in over the past three or four years, about 10,000 to 15,000 of those have come directly from Iraq. Trudy's correct. The rest have come from neighboring countries. That's point one.
JEFFREY BROWN: All right.
ERIC SCHWARTZ: On the security, there are dual imperatives here. On the one hand, we have a profound commitment to resettle people who have been associated with the United States. I think government officials take that commitment very seriously.
On the other hand, we have the imperative of protecting Americans. And the fact is — the unfortunate fact is, there have been refugees and SIV applicants who've come into the United States where there have been serious security concerns identified.
That's why, over the past year, there've been additional security screening procedures, which — Trudy is correct — have slowed the process. The only answer to this is perseverance by government officials. We need to throw more resources at the effort to investigate these cases, so they can be cleared and moved.
There is no simple solution to addressing these dual imperatives.
JEFFREY BROWN: Well, let me — Trudy Rubin, in our time left, do you have a solution? What would you like to see happen?
TRUDY RUBIN: There was a solution, which the British, the Poles, the Danes, and the Australians used. They airlifted their people out.
We did it to Iraqi opposition people in 1996. We airlifted 6,000 out to Guam and did the security checks there. Short of that, the only answer is a political decision from the top, because the security checks cannot be moved without a real push from the White House.
Back in 2007, candidate Obama said one tragic outcome of this war is that the Iraqis who stood with America are being targeted for assassination. And, yet, they cannot get in here. And he said, that is not how we treat our friends, that is not how we are as Americans.
And my question is — and I went through this personally with my driver/fixer — my question is, when is the administration going to act on candidate Obama's words and move this logjam?
JEFFREY BROWN: All right.
All right, Eric Schwartz, first, the air — airlift, is that feasible?
ERIC SCHWARTZ: Well, having been at the White House and having been in charge of managing that airlift in 1996, I share Trudy's, you know, deep commitment to moving these people, moving people who are at risk.
But that was 6,000 people. It was a discreet number. There are some 40,000 people in the pipeline in Iraq right now. And so the answer is, you know, more diligent, more aggressive efforts to move these cases that are stuck on security holds.
JEFFREY BROWN: Do you think it has to come from the top, as she said?
ERIC SCHWARTZ: Of course it has to come from the top. These kinds of decisions have to come from the top.
JEFFREY BROWN: All right, we will leave it there.
Eric Schwartz, Trudy Rubin, thank you both very much.

I would like to hear your comments on the Pacer's second unit. I am wondering if there is a better second unit in the league? I have been very impressed with them.

I would like to hear your comments on the Pacer's second unit. I am wondering if there is a better second unit in the league? I have been very impressed with them.
I wish they'd run more plays for George. He's automatic from midrange. and is one of the better players at driving on th ePAcers. He needs to learn to finish better, though. Price has been playing more of a scoring guard, but I think it's necessary with the players on the floor.
Only thing missing is Jarrett Jack. I would love to have him on this second unit.
Agreed. Especially now that the focus has changed.
I think Jarrett Jack would be exactly what the second unit needs to be solidified, with Price then being the backup for both Collison and Jack, while Jack provides the veteran presence to help the two young guys mature.
Ford's expiring for Jack and filler, please!
I don't know about best in the league, but we are pretty deep.
We have a couple of guys who could start on mediocre teams, and I think our 2nd unit can give our first unit a run for their money during scrimmages.
I think the Pacers have always done a good job (at least since the mid-90's) in having a solid 1-15. If you excuse the roster from the year of the brawl, I would say we've rarely had any doubts that our roster is full of serviceable players.
I like it.
For a while I was on the "Dun should be a part of the second unit" mantra, but now I don't think so.
They are forming their identity as a fiesty, blue collar intense unit. The play very good defense, and have scorers to supplement the offense. They are young for the most part, but pretty talanted.
As others have said, I'd like to see George become the focus of the offense, but seeing as this is a new unit, I understand why it's much simpler to run a two man game with Hans and Price.
One thing I will say I like, is that Vogel has been playing the second unit some with Collison, and the starters with Price. It's giving the point guards a chance to create chemistry with all of the guys...and it's done in a very subtle "flowing" way.
Don't know about best in the league, but I do think they've got talent, and more than that, they know they're role and they play with a lot of pride. It's great feeling that our starters don't all have to have good games because we have a 2nd unit who will come in and play with energy and can help carry the team on any given night.
Fun fact: Paul George shoots .58% from the field inside the three point line. That is simply amazing.
Thats what happens when you attack the basket. Why do you think LeBron's FG% is so high?
I'd say we've def got one of the best benches in the league but not the best (that belongs to the Spurs IMO). Not many teams can say their secod unit plays better D then the starters.
However, there is a nice chance that AJ Price pans out and begins to play better like he did last season. I'll stay patient and not complain. I really am impressed with his defense and his understanding of feeding the hot hand. Maybe when he develops he is in the Jack/Sessions/Ridnour tier.

However, this would bring into question whether AJ can become a solid backup PG or not for the Pacers. My preference would be to go cheap and stick with AJ as the backup PG to Collison and have Jarrett Jack fill in the role as one of the SGs and a periodic 3rd option PG on the Team.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
The second unit is the smash part of this team. I have more confidence in them than the starters, to be honest. They should just view themselves as 10 starters IMHO.
Lance is finally home. Whether he becomes our starting PG or he's 6th man, he's getting big minutes and he's here to stay. #llortontnia
That is really how I see this team as well - 10 starters rather than 5. Take Hibbert out of the mix (his 7'2" frame makes a difference) and I see next to no difference between the two units despite Granger being on the first unit.
When you have 2 complete competent teams to throw against 1 every night you play it is like playing 2 on 1 - you've got a winner the vast majority of the time.
We don't have starters or bench players. We have 1a and 1b.
Let's call our bench "1b".
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
After last night's game against Miami I will answer my own question - no there is not a better second unit in the league. There is pit bull fight in that unit, fight in those dogs. They never give in. Wonder how they would fair against our starters? It would be a battle.
The Pacers have one of the best bench in the NBA no doubt. Getting Jarret Jack would be awesome, but IMO it would create such a jam at our back court and not enough minutes to go around. Maybe Price would have to go, and I'm not sure that's a good move.
Tyler called them the Goon Squad.

How My Brother Leon Brought Home A Wife
How My Brother Leon Brought Home A Wife is a story written by Manuel Arguilla about a man who comes home to his province to introduce his wife from the city to his family. This short story won first prize in the Commonwealth Literary Contest in 1940.
- Baldo - younger brother of Leon, fetched Leon and Maria from the road to Nagrebcan
- Leon (or Noel) - older brother of Baldo who studied in Manila where he met his wife
- Maria - the beautiful and stunning wife of Leon from Manila
- Labang - the bull whom Baldo considers as his "pet"
- Norman Tabios - Maria's ex-boyfriend who happened to be a loro
- Gagambino - Leon's favorite fictional character who gave him lots of guts to study in Manila
- Churita - Labang's girlfriend/fiance
Baldo and his older brother Leon were both waiting for the arrival of their visitor riding the carretela. Seeing his brother's wife, Baldo was easily taken away by the beauty of the woman from city as he narrates their journey to Nagrebcan. The idea of meeting with Leon's parents for the first time made Maria a bit anxious. But along their way home, Maria discovered the peculiarities of the life in Nagrebcan as opposed to their life in the city where she met and fell in love with Leon.

DUCKHUNTER (Kontrol | Siesta | Mystery Train) - NYC
Duckhunter (Alexey Zharov) is an electronic sound producer/DJ from New York City. Alexey has been dedicated to a relentless production output that landed him a 4 year residency on the infamous Uberkontrol label (2009-12"). Since 2008 Alexey has been pushing his "Duckhunter" electronic sound with un-diminishing persistence , building a reputation in the New York City Underground techno scene as a creative DJ and forward thinking producer. Duckhunter's roots run deep into experimental sound design expositions, and even further back is a 6 year career with a subversive lo-fi Siberian punk-rock band as a main singer-songwriter with a broad history of shows in many NYC venues. Starting his techno career in 2007 ; Duckhunter became the preferred alias. After 2 years of working in the studio, Duckhunter's first performance was in Santos Party House Club in Manhattan in 2009, since then Alexey has been playing some of the most exclusive underground parties in NYC and getting on the bill of events like Trilogy, Eklipze, and the Official Electric Zoo Afterparty at Pacha by 2010, just one year after beginnig his spinning career. Since then, Alexey has kept up the pace of performances with an unprecedented level of consistency and drive. Currently Duckhunter's music is played by many DJ's worldwide & locally also supported by fellow producers like Craft, Derek Marin, Darius Bay, Caspian, Justin Case; just to name a few.
Duckhunter's production's can be found on lables like Wolf Trap, Muchiq Records UK, Kontrol Records, LW Recordings, Mystery Train Recordings, Ill Bomb Records, Groove Life, Gee Records Plus, Retorica Recordings. This year Duckhunter is throwing down a track produced alongside Derek Marin "Thunder Island" on vinyl on the classic house label Siesta as well as a full length LP Album titled "Komodo & The Ecclesial Fox" on NOSI Music.
- CHAMOMILE (Mineaturesrec/Resort)
EDM producer Roman Chamomile, known as simply Chamomile, has releases on many independent record labels, such as Miniaturesrec, Subtrak, Kynatix, Imperial/Border Recordings, UrbanVibe Records, Truth Underground Rec, Ill Bomb Records, Footmusic Records, Resort Records and many more. His exploratory vibes have been perceived as different from the mainstream, most of what would be considered Tech. His latest productions include elements of Deep House, Techno, Tech-House and Minimal, with each track superseding the last by higher quality and creativity. Born in Ukraine, Roman moved to NYC at the age of 10, with knowledge of music theory, and proficiency as a pianist. By the age of 19, Roman mastered the guitar and bass guitar as well, and was in numerous Rock/Metal/Death Metal bands and opened up for some of the greatest acts in those genres, from which he achieved his darker tastes for music. After frequenting many major and local EDM parties, Roman became discontent with the direction of the music industry and started getting into the underground techno scene in NYC. He became a producer/dj after he broke ties with his other music career and had his first release from Kynatix in January 2012. His latest EP entitle "Nikolayev", was featured on the top 100 Beatport Techno Chart, which is available via Ill Bomb Records. Chamomile is also part of Destroy Date, a group formed between himself and d_Verge, which is set to release quality dark techno projects with their first EP entitled "More Disk Space" available on Kynatix. We are yet to see what his future accomplishments hold for his ever growing fan base.
Joe Mattiello grew up not to far from New York City in a family filled with band members, opera singers and computer whizzes. Having been introduced to both computers and music since a young age it's only natural that electronic dance music would embody him. He was trained in classical piano as a child, and later became a drummer as a young teenager. In the late 90's he discovered Trackers and electronic music and craved more. With no access to a record store with dance music, the recent birth of MP3s gave Joe the avenue to hunt down the new style of music he craved. From DJ Icey, The Chemical Brothers, Paul Van Dyke, Carl Cox, Dave Clarke; all names that were quickly filling up the family computer. His understanding of computers and his musical background gave way to his desire to produce electronic dance music on his own.
Joe is currently a successful computer programmer, writing custom audio software and plugins, which are always a work in progress. He is currently taking time away from his career to focus on becoming a respected electronic music producer and DJ.
"Twice as Proper" and their founders:
Twice as Proper is a New York City Based Underground Techno Events organization. Craft & Shadi co-created the movement "Twice as Sweet" which then became "Twice as Proper Sessions".

In 2010, Twice as Proper hosted 8 events in Playa del Carmen (Mexico) during the winter, while keeping regular NYC events alive as always. 2011 was fantastic for the two artists bringing International tours in 5 countries (USA, Italy, Egypt, Mexico, Costa Rica), international radio shows, podcasts, music productions, TV coverage (Italy, Mexico, Costa Rica), soundcloud recordings listened to in over 90 countries, new fans and friends. Craft & Shadi have been spinning since 1994 on those legendary Technics 1200's. Then followed the years of CDJ technology and mixers with effects, always keeping it dark, deep, dirty real serious. They now often perform live mixes with ultimate controllers and live effects. They go on with explosive sets, chopping' up loops and samples, all while in the mix. The result is always "Massive". Craft & Shadi promise to rip it Proper.

This guest had a male friend she wanted to stay with who happens to live by and happens on the same day she had a reservation with us(what a coincidence). She said she wanted to cancel her reservation. I told her the cancellation policy that she cannot cancel on the day of arrival . Also she made a female dorm for 2 girls. She said that was incorrect. After she saw her online reservation she got upset and left for NOT able to cancel on the same day of arrival date. CHECK CANCELLATION POLICY.
