On Tuesday, Belgium defeated the USMNT in the Round of 16 of the World Cup, but it took three extra-time goals to decide this one, 2-1, in Belgium's favor. Romelu Lukaku jumped into the game in the first half of ET to help Kevin De Bruyne score before hitting one home himself. On the USA side, 19-year-old Julian Green hit home a consolation later on to keep it close.
Tim Howard was by far the best keeper on the field as he made an outstanding 16 saves, allowing only two goals that were truly too difficult to prevent. At the age of 35, he still looks young enough to play the game at the highest level, but asking him to put up those numbers again will be too much. In fact, he should be angry with coach Jurgen Klinsmann for asking his boys to sit back as much as they did against a team with so much speed, strength, skill and understanding. They could have scored at least eight or nine clear goals.
Michael Bradley did nothing but assist Green when he finally decided to get into the game offensively. Clint Dempsey could have tied the game late on but his touch and focus was way off on Tuesday. He has to be better as captain and needs to hustle a lot more.
The defense got caught out way too many times in the build-up and on the counter. Matt Besler, Omar Gonzalez and DaMarcus Beasley were brilliant but they were never going to be able to keep this type of team at bay for 120 minutes. Asking them to do so against a group of guys who will keep pressing and pressing until the break is unrealistic.
With this game over, the USA come back home to the states with a well-deserved break coming up. As for Belgium, they have a date with Argentina this Saturday in the quarterfinals. That will definitely be their biggest test yet as Lionel Messi and company will not sit back and watch.

In an interview with Heat magazine, Ronald Fenty called his daughter Rihanna fat and showed his support of Chris Brown.
"I actually thought she was a little fat the last time I saw her," he told the magazine. He continued, "When I saw her this time [at the Grammys], I thought she was back to her normal size."
As soon as the interview was made public, Rihanna tweeted a topless photo of herself to show case her slender build and amazing shape. The photo is amazing and is sure to silence the critics, including her father's harsh words.
When asked about Chris Brown and the rumors that the two are getting back together Fenty said "Chris is a nice guy, and everybody's entitled to make mistakes in their life," Fenty said. "God knows how many I've made," he continued.
Fenty had no other comment about the two getting back together. He stated that Rihanna is her own woman and left it at that. Fenty and Rihanna have an estranged relationship and only began speaking again in 2010. Given his comments, that pretty much bashed her image, I can understand why she kept her distance. However, Fenty has taken the stance that much of her fans and enemies take when it comes to Rihanna's relationship with Chris Brown. We want her to live her own life.
We just continue to wonder where that will lead this time…

Remember that lightly boring luxury car company Lexus? Well the Japanese brand isn't just through the looking glass, it's smashed it to pieces with the unveiling of its stunning LS flagship sedan.
Lexus finally pulled the covers of its new LS sedan at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, revealing a car it claims will redefine the luxury sedan segment when it arrives in Australia, and one that is very un-Lexus.
Just look at it. The all-new LS is a shiny sea of powerful lines, 20-inch 'flame-inspired' alloys and a dominant grille that's made up of 5,000 individual surfaces.
Then there's the engine. The sleek four-door coupe, which will arrive in Australia in the first quarter of 2018, is packing an all-new 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 generating 310kW and a whopping 600Nm, sent to the rear wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Lexus claims the new engine has been designed to offer the power and performance of a V8 without the heavy fuel use, and the numbers paint a pretty picture on paper, with the LS capable of clipping 100km/h in just 4.5sec. Expect a hybrid option, specifically the V6 from the GS 450h, to appear shortly.
Promising a performance focus that's been missing from Lexus' luxury fleet, the new LS has dropped 90kg thanks to the use of lightweight materials, while the new platform (an extended version of the one used for the LC Coupe) shifts the engine and passengers towards the middle of the car, lowering the centre of gravity. The LS will arrive in long-wheelbase form only, stretching over 5.2m in length, 1.4m in height and 1.9m in width.
It also arrives equipped with the brand's most advanced 'dynamic management' system, which adjusts braking, steering, acceleration and suspension to counteract body roll. Lexus promises it will deliver a smoother ride and, crucially, better cornering dynamics. Optional on the new LS is a Dynamic Handling System which includes active stabiliser bars and independent rear steering.
There is still a market for this type of vehicle, and it's still well appreciated.
Inside, expect a redesigned interior set-up, while the rear seats have been designed to melt into the door trim to envelop backseat riders. An optional 'ottoman' allows the seat behind the driver to be reclined to 48 degrees.
A 12.3-inch multimedia screen dominates the dash area, while a Japanese lantern-influenced lighting system and a new armrest design that appears to float in the door panel, along with natural wood highlights, add to the premium feel.
Finally, a new air suspension system will automatically raise the car, and open the seat bolsters, to make it easier to climb in and out of.
Lexus Australia CEO, Peter McGregor, said he expects the LS to once again redefine the luxury market in Australia, despite competing in a segment that's being slowly eroded by SUVs.
"LS was the vehicle we started with, and it set a new standard in the luxury car market and really put Lexus on the map," he said.
"This fifth generation is going to reset the benchmarks in terms of style, luxury and technology."
"There is still a market for this type of vehicle, and it's still well appreciated. And I'm very confident this vehicle will be very competitive."

UPI 2.0 Could Be Great for Consumers, but Bad for Many Fintech Companies
The company had posted gross revenue of Rs. 365 crores in the same period last fiscal.
"The growth this quarter can be attributed to many factors including organic growth in subscriber base & minutes of usage, and our focus on data penetration & usage, GRPM, ARPU and Usage and retention focus.
"We will be closing the financial year with a top line of Rs. 2,000 crores," Videocon Telecom Director and CEO Arvind Bali said in a statement.
Videocon has permit for mobile services in 7 service areas but at present operates only in 4 circles - Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. Early this month, the company received pan-India permit for internet services.
The rise in revenue is driven by GSM business, national long distance, international long distance and Punjab's wire-line business, the statement said.
The GSM or mobile phone services revenue of the company increased by 53 percent to Rs. 202 crores in the reported quarter from Rs. 131.7 crores it posted in the year ago period.
The company said its GSM mobility business growth was fuelled by an organic growth in subscriber base, minutes of usage and data consumption, gross rate realised per minute and average revenue per user.
Videocon Telecom said that its subscriber base reached 9 million at the end of reported quarter across its 4 operating circles.
The minutes of usage rose by about 30 percent in the reported quarter over same period in last financial year, the statement said.
The data revenue of the company grew 113 percent with an 30 percent improvement in realisation per GB compared to the corresponding period of last fiscal. Videcon said that its GRPM improved by 19 percent on an year-on-year basis.
Videocon Telecom did not disclose profit and loss figures and actual numbers in terms of revenue component.

The Osprey Exposure 36 technical pack
Osprey has a new line of technical packs in 36, 42, 50 and 66 liter capacities. I especially liked the 36 liter version. At 2 lb 9 oz (1162 g) it is a good capacity minimalist climbing pack suitable for two to three-day endeavors. The frame is based on the hollow aluminum wishbone stay similar to the Atmos packs ( see our Summer OR dispatch) but with the addition of a PTFE framesheet. It has a wide and flexible EVA foam hipbelt. Durable fabric, good compression, lots of attachment points and top lid with a pocket round out the pack.

A Eulogy for eBay Express!
It is a great post and presents a very interesting look at the inner workings of eBay. Please take time to read the comments as well, many of those commenting worked on the project while at eBay.
With all of the changes being made to eBay today, it is clear to me that the lessons learned from the failure of eBay Express may be going unnoticed.
A Eulogy for eBay Express
Just my 15%
13 comments:
Randy, do you get the sense that they are going to be leaving half.com alone? I've found its still an OK place to sell used books...doesn't seem to have the traffic that it used to, but I get enough sales to bother....
Don't eulogize it.
Euthanize it!
- Randy Smythe said...
I asked specifically about Half.com and was told they are not going to shut it down.
It is a very profitable business for them.
- Cliff Aliperti said...
I was throwing dirt over it the day it launched. Pardon me, but when I think of Express, the first words springing to mind are half-assed. Not only did it only offer buyers items they could already buy on eBay, only it was far fewer items, it had the nerve to flaunt a site-wide shopping cart in seller's faces and show us they could implement one if they wanted too.
"It all started in Q4 2004, which was a real wake-up call for eBay. It was the first quarter where the metrics made it clear that there were significant issues with the way buyer demand was scaling on eBay.com." ~Adam Nash
"Swear words are the mark of a weak mind" ~ some self-righteous, pompous ass individual
In the summer of 2004 we told ebay to stop F'ing-up the site with that IS and category rollup crap. They didn't listen. They instead dedicated resources to implimenting processes that would advantage the searching for and purchasing of, Fixed Price retail goods.
Those FP-centric processes not only helped ferret-out all manner of New, Retail goods on the site, but they also disadvantaged the searching for and purchasing of, auction-type collectibles and antiques. It was obvious to all, but the absolutly myopic people in charge of ebay.
You - ebay - Fked IT up. IT, being the magic, fun and place to find anything. Then, you were totally shocked when the metrics indicated that Auctions were falling out of favor.
W.T.F? Are you mental midgets? What (T.F.) does 2+2 equal in your world? Evidently it equals 3+1 and the 1 stands for Auctions. Well, there ya go... auctions suck! Point proven. Concrete scientific evidence.
FU ebay! FU ebay and the POS Accord that Pierre rode in on! Just, plainly...
(sorry, Randy. feel free to delete. but, man, i do feel better. thanks!)
- Randy Smythe said...
I hope you feel better. Now that you brought it up my business started to struggle in March of 2004 with the category roll-up and never fully recovered. I had to reorganize to stay afloat in 2005 and toss in the towell in Jan of 2006
I read Adam's post a couple of times and never made the connection.
Thanks, Randy, I do feel better now. I just finished reading Adam's post for the 2nd time, like you, and here's my final thoughts. Sans expletives.
The metrics showed that peeps wanted a retail experience. Ebay built one. Nobody came.
Were the metrics wrong? Doubtful. Were the metrics skewed by previous actions? Most likely.
Were the metrics interpreted, incorrectly? (you know my answer to this)
Ebay, are you still 'interpreting' metrics? Why?
Ebay, you took self-fulfilling indications, driven mainly by your own actions and combined them with the sales numbers of the Christmas/Holiday shopping season, and then attempted to become something that you were not then and never will be.
Ebay's own survey of 6 'whole' cities in the USA show that people think you are an AUCTION site. Every online article about you starts out, "The ebay auction site..." and continues with, "..its core auction business...".
But take heart ebay, unless you've really screwed-da-pooch this time, the metrics will strongly indicate peeps want FP retail, real soon. I predict that will start to happen in about 2 months. You can just assume it's because of all your wonderful changes.
"It became very clear to me sitting out there today, that every decision I've ever made, in my entire life, has been wrong. My life is the opposite of everything I want it to be. Every instinct I have, in every of life, be it something to wear, something to eat ... It's all been wrong." ~ George Costanza (Jason Alexander)

Yes, my sales started to falter in March or april of 2004 when they got rid of Going, Going, Gone. I know the artists ranted and raved and wrote to everyone at ebay for almost a year and nothing was done. Art sales never went back to what they once were. Ebay makes up that money now by selling feature plus listings and artists buy them up at an extra 15.00 a pop plus fees. Who can give bargains when saddled with fees like that? Up till that point in 2004 I could have put my grandmother's old dentures on auction and there would be a bidding war over them! Since I make everything I sell and every single thing was selling, I was very very busy up until that time! Its Ebay all along tinkering with something that was great all by itself. In their absolute greed they're the ones killing off auctions and losing buyers by the day.
"W.T.F? Are you mental midgets?" I think we all know the answer to that! ;-)
Tony, they did listen to one group in 2004. They tried rolling up all the Pottery and Glass categories around June 2004 and completely tanked everybody's business. The Item Specifics they put in looked like they had been designed by a college student in an all-nighter. After about two months of screaming, they did put that one back. I even had a long phone discussion with a young woman from eBay, trying to explain to her why collectibles could not be identified by a few neat parameters like new shoes. She might have understood, or might not.
- ms.pat said...
pottery and glass was lucky. They managed to overturn that one...arts was never able to make that same argument stick. They treat finding art the same way they treat finding an iPod - just put what you want in search! :-( Nobody buys paintings that way - its a visual medium and needs to be seen!
We sold handmade jewelry on ebay starting in 1998. Our sales started to tank around late 2004 too and never recovered. Every subsequent month, our sales dipped a little more, and we had to adjust again and again just to stay status quo. There was a brief period when they added store items to search that our sales picked up enormously. It was amazing. I thought ebay had finally gotten it right! Then ebay realized that they were giving too many sales away to stores and stopped it. We continued our downward spiral month after month, until we started loosing money and threw in the towel. I have toyed with the idea of seeing what would happen if we listed on ebay again, but I don't want to waste the time and effort at this point. I'm of the opinion that even if we did have any sales, ebay would do something to screw it up. It seems everything they do is against the small seller. I can't believe this time would be different. I hate to be so negative, but it has come from years of experience with this company. I hate to say this, but I'm glad they are finally feeling pain. They caused enough of it with sellers thru the years. I still believe that if they just LISTENED to the small seller, just for 6 months, that they would turn things around.
Nadine, I wuz there! You betcha!! Remember the "red vase" example from a pink? That's all I have to say to anyone that was there - Red Vase - and they usually go ballistic.
"Well, we heard from a buyer searching for a red vase that she just loves the new Item Specifics" Immediately afterwards, curse words appeared on that thread.
The Art Glass world has no fewer than 12 different terms expressing the color red, and that's not counting the hued, opalescent and multi-toned variations of the color RED.
I wrote that above sentence into the Red Vase thread and was met with looks of DUH (I guess), as no pink had anything to say. Sellers did reply and a few even pointed out how there might be 15 or more different terms used for the color "red".
Yes, ebay, it IS that danged complicated. There aren't enough 'standard labels', no matter how many damned pigeonholes you come up with for this IS system. They never really caught on, but the lack of listings guided them to rescind the category rollups.
Their disconnect continues. I read the comments on Adam's blog about the death of EE and even he still doesn't "see" some things. And for the record, I think Adam is one of ebay's best and brightest.
Someone left him a comment about how EE didn't have features to allow for the selection of various choices - something that is fairly Standard in almost all eCommerce sites. Example: t-shirt sizes and colors.
Adam commented back that these were definitely selectable options when searching (by way of IS, aka Product Finder) and would produce exactly what the buyer requested. Adam is correct in this answer, but fails to understand that is NOT what the person was talking about.
It is one thing to search and find 12 different listings for 12 different t-shirts, it is entirely a different thing to find a SINGLE listing and make all selections from that one page. This latter ability is available with almost all website shopping carts, but the most simplistic.
Ebay's recent approval of Choice listings is a bandaid on a gaping wound. It will allow some sellers to increase their sales, while reducing their listing fees, but they will have to really watch their P's and Q's to not screwup an order.
For a full-fledged Choice system to work, the choices would have to be made through the software, not through an email or note. Adam could have created that system for ebay, but NO, they had him working on the (un)Related Items code and other useless stuff.
I apologize to Adam if he is offended by that 'useless stuff' remark, but I mean it in the context of what a seller would consider as useful, or not. It was that, the sellers not adopting EE and its capabilities, which ultimately led to its eulogy.
Tony, it's the classic programmer/user divide, magnified a thousand fold. eBey thinks they can stay programmers because they are bright enough to just figure things out. No amount of experience to the contrary has yet taught they that they can't and they aren;t.

New York Live – 2015 Nissan Versa (Nissan Sunny facelift)
Karthik H, A bit of a car freak and a bike nut, and a fan of trucks and technology too. Expect sharp stories that focus on those four fronts. As always, stay tuned to IndianAutosBlog.com for quick and unassuming updates from across the world.
Nissan has unveiled the 2015 Nissan Versa (facelift) at the ongoing New York Auto Show. Indian readers will be aware that the Nissan Versa in the USA is the same as the Nissan Sunny in India.
The changes to the 2015 Nissan Versa are also pretty much similar to that of the Nissan Sunny facelift shown at the Auto Expo 2014. Up front, the sedan gets larger headlamps and chrome border on the grille and foglamps. There are also some variant level changes like an ORVM integrated with indicators for the top SL and 15-inch alloy wheels for the SV.
Importantly for the US market, the Versa gets a 1.6-liter HR16DE 4-cylinder engine rated at 109 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 145 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm. The 1.6-liter engine is matched with a choice of three transmissions – a 5-speed manual transmission or 4-speed automatic (S models only), or a next-generation Xtronic CVT gearbox with D-mode step shift programming.
USA gets the 2015 Nissan Versa Sedan in four variants – Versa Sedan S (offered in 5MT and 4AT versions), Versa Sedan S Plus (Xtronic only), Versa Sedan SV (Xtronic only) and Versa Sedan SL (Xtronic only).

(we're talking 50th h.s. reunion here).
Considered PowerPoint but I have win7 64-bit and I'm afraid those who have older systems would have troubles. Plus I'd have to get into telling everyone about the PP-viewer available from MS, for those who don't have PowerPoint on their computer.
Thanks, Chuck

I also believe that PowerPoint has a feature where you can burn a presentation to a disc with the viewer already included. If so, you can then add any other files or documents you needed to, and send off the copies.

Even with the PowerPoint "Package for CD" feature, it can still be a little buggy. It uses the autorun of Windows to launch a small version of the PowerPoint viewer, then launches your presentation. That'd be the best way to use Powerpoint. I do not recommend trying to send everyone a PPT file. You can set PowerPoint to automatically save as PPT files instead of PPTX files like the new 2007 does. Microsoft screwed up with that docx, xlsx, and pptx stuff.
I don't know if PowerPoint is the best way, though. I would say something like a spreadsheet printed out and mailed. Isn't that the best way you old fogeys like to do things? (haha I'm sorry, I had to go there) Most grandchildren have at least got their grandparents on with an XP machine and email, haven't they? At least they have a CD-drive, so maybe the PowerPoint idea isn't so bad after all.

On top of that, the new formats are generally smaller files that open faster. We routinely have PowerPoint presentations that are in the 25 MB range, than when saved as pptx files, are often 2/3 to 3/4 of the original size.

a copy to each of 100 people, how do you know which format to send to
which person? I suppose I could survey everyone, and custom make batches
for each version. Lotsa muckin' around.

Not really. When we suspect that e-mails are going out to non-internal people, we still save it as the old format just to be sure....but it is still an annoying process. The same goes for any "portable" format. When we save files as PDFs and send them out...we still have schools write back asking what they need to open the PDF file. Adobe Reader has been free for well over a decade.
It always brings to mind the saying "when you make it idiot-proof, along comes a better idiot".
No matter how "universal" you make a file...someone, somewhere will always fail to handle it.

From my little experience with .pps files, I think you would be correct, that they could view only, and not be able to edit the file. I don't have any computers without PowerPoint, so I'm not sure if a .pps file would play on a system without. I thought they did, but that's just a guess on my part.

More patents are donatedOctober 2008
Three more companies – Bosch, DuPont and Xerox – have released patents so as to encourage the development of new products with social and environmental benefits.
The businesses have together made more than 30 patents available under the Eco-Patent Commons programme created by the Geneva-based World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), which aims to encourage innovation by putting patents into the public domain.
Among the newly-released patents are a Bosch method that plays a part in turning vehicles' waste heat into useful energy, a DuPont technique for converting non-recyclable plastics into fertilizer, and Xerox technology that reduces the time and cost of removing hazardous waste from water and soil.
The Eco-Patent Commons programme was introduced this year by IBM, Nokia, Pitney Bowes and Sony, which have been encouraging other companies to follow suit (EP9, issue 9, p6).
The new pledges more than double the number of patents now available to the public. Since the programme started, three patents have been used by others – and there have been many more inquiries, which the WBCSD hopes will lead to innovations.

Bahrain watch on 'protest' boy, 11
An 11-year-old boy accused of taking part in anti-government protests in Bahrain may remain at home but must be monitored by authorities, a court has ruled.
Ali Hasan's case has been closely watched because he was one of the youngest demonstrators taken into custody in the unrest in the strategic Gulf island nation, which serves as the base for the US Navy's 5th Fleet.
Bahrain has experienced more than 16 months of near daily protests in an uprising led by the kingdom's Shiite majority. It seeks greater political rights from the Western-backed Sunni monarchy.
The juvenile court judge ruled that Hasan must be monitored by a social worker for a year, according to Bahraini authorities and the boy's lawyer, Shahzalan Khamis. Visits will be scheduled once every six months.
Hasan was detained in May on charges of joining an illegal gathering and other claims related to the unrest. The government alleges he was involved in blocking roads three times on May 13.
He was allowed to return home on June 11 after a month in custody. The final ruling in his case was not reached until today.
Even with the court's decision, Hasan's legal status remains unclear. His lawyer said against charges her client have not formally been dropped.
"The decision today condemns him indirectly," she said after the court's ruling. "I am not happy with the decision. This boy is innocent and did not commit a crime."
The government's Information Affairs Authority confirmed in an email that charges against the boy have not been dropped, but it did not clarify whether he had formally been found guilty of any crime.

Dacia has introduced a Duster Commercial in the United Kingdom which is basically a more practical version of the model.
If the Dacia Duster crossover is what you need but you can do without the rear seats, than the Duster Commercial is probably the vehicle of choice for you. The model in question has been launched recently in the United Kingdom and it is coming with a 550 kg payload and a total load volume of 1, 150 liters. This is actually the first time when a Dacia Duster is being offered in a commercial version coming straight from the factory and it was launched due to high demand coming from the UK and Ireland.
In that market, commercial vehicles derived from regular cars stand for up to 30 percent of the total annual sales and this is a good niche for Dacia considering the fact that since January 2013, when the Duster was launched over there, it has managed to sell more than 16,000 units of the model. The Dacia Duster Commercial can be ordered in the standard 4×2 version, for 9,595 GBP, plus VAT, but if the 4×4 version is what you are interested in, than get ready to add 1,700 GBP on top of that. The Dacia Duster Commercial is only offered with the top diesel dCi 110 engine, which is allowing it to reach 100 km/h in 12.2 seconds, in FWD, and to return 56.5 mpg while emitting 130 g/km of CO2. The 4WD variant is promising 54.3 mpg.

Telling it like it is. Joe Biden jokingly made the sign of the cross when Jimmy Fallon asked him about Donald Trump during an appearance on The Tonight Show on Thursday, September 29. "Bless me, Father, for I'm about to sin," the Vice President quipped.
As he talked about watching the first presidential debate that took place between Republican presidential candidate Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton on Monday, September 26, Biden, 73, said, "For a while there I thought, I've never quite seen anything like that. … I've never seen anybody who knew as few facts."
"What amazes me about Donald Trump — and he's probably a decent guy — but it's his lack of sensibilities," the former Delaware senator continued.
On Trump's assertion that he was rooting for the housing market to fail, because "that's business," the VP said, "That's not business, that's callous."
Then he referred to the moment in the debate when the former reality star boasted that not paying federal taxes makes him "smart."
"What does that make the rest of us? Suckers?" Biden said.
"Can you think of any president, any president you've studied, read about, or knew, who would say anything like that?" he asked the audience. "Name me one president who would do that. It angers me, quite frankly."
"I didn't know you could choose to not pay your taxes," Fallon, 42, countered.
"It's one of the things that the American people really resent," Biden continued. "The American people don't like being played for suckers, and you've got somebody working the assembly line making 51 thousand bucks, his wife making 50 thousand bucks working in another factory, and they're paying 15 percent of their income [in taxes], they're trying to raise two kids. I can't imagine why somebody would say that, 'That makes me smart.'"
He told Fallon that his dad had an expression when people would tell him they paid too much in taxes. "He'd say, 'Look, it's a small price to pay to live in this country.'"
And then Biden added, "I mean, just pay your fair share, for God's sake!"

Today, I got a first hand look with a tax preparer's unprofessional ways, sadly more than once!
- Repeating another client's personal information -I don't know about for the rest of you, but this one is a very big no-no in my book. I just don't understand how anyone claiming to be a professional business can so easily repeat personal information aloud without a care in the world. If I were a very bad person, I could have easily saved that poor man's name, address, social security number, phone number and credit card information to my phone for later use! I worry about others who may have had their information compromised in a very bad way with someone who is not like me.
- Taking personal phone calls while with a client - Not only did the tax preparer give out the client's personal information, but also took a personal phone called and chatted for 5 minutes on the phone while with that client! Excuse me, but you are not there getting paid by that client to BS on the phone. Put your cell phone away!
- Discussing missing clients tax forms in front of a client - Okay, so you lost tax forms and can't find them. Yes, it's a big deal, but you step aside with the owner quietly and discuss this. You do not talk about this in front of a room full of people, including your client! And on a more positive note, let's hope those missing tax forms aren't already filled out clients' forms!
With these three reasons, you can bet I'm not going to use them to prepare my taxes, ever! In fact, my advice is if you ever come across a similar scenario with any business, run, run like hell and don't look back! Your worth more than that!

I have used their services for the past several years to get my taxes done and have never had a problem with them yet! When a business or service is working great, why mess with that greatness?

Ball Park Franks: A Michigan-made tradition By Stateside Staff • Feb 12, 2014 user andrewmalone / Flickr Listen Listening... / 2:08 Joel Stone, curator at the Detroit Historical Museum, tells us the history of Ball Park Franks. Some might argue there's nothing more American than baseball. Well, did you know those Ball Park Franks that go with it are Michigan-made? Back in 1958, the owners of Tiger Stadium were not happy with the hot dogs served at the games. So they asked Detroit-based company, Hygrade Food Corp., to come up with a better version. Gus Hauf, a Hygrade employee, had already developed his secret recipe for the hot dog that decade. His co-worker, Mary Ann Kirk, came up with the "Ball Park" name, cementing the relationship between baseball and hot dogs. For her out-of-the-park idea, Mary Ann earned $25 and a leather chair. "Michigan had kind of the best frankfurters in the country," said Joel Stone, the curator of the Detroit Historical Museum. "And the Ball Park was a perfect example of that."

By Stateside Staff • Feb 10, 2014 user: RTD Photography Listen Listening... / 4:29 The question of stray animals in the City of Detroit has been in the spotlight ever since Bloomberg News published a story painting Detroit as some place where "abandoned dogs roam in packs as humans dwindle." The article estimated the number of stray dogs at 50,000, a number that has turned out to be grossly inaccurate. Michigan State University political science professor Laura Reese has completed the first academic study of the problem, which hopes to shed light on the reality of the situation.

By Stateside Staff • Feb 5, 2014 Andrew Jameson / wikipedia.org Listen Listening... / 6:42 A few centuries ago it was not uncommon to hear Detroit referred to as "The Paris of the Midwest." Just look at the history of Detroit and you can see that there are good reasons to link Detroit and France. The city's early settlers were, by and large, French and French Canadian. But unlike, say, Quebec, Montreal, or New Orleans, there is no special "French feel" to Detroit beyond some French street names. We wondered why Detroit's modern identity is so lacking in that French influence. For some insights, we turned to Guillaume Teasdale, a history instructor at the University of Windsor. Listen to the full interview above. Snowboarding had its beginning in a Muskegon, Michigan garage By Stateside Staff • Feb 4, 2014 Screen capture from YouTube The Sochi Winter Olympics are just days away. One of the most popular competitions is undoubtedly snowboarding, which joined the pantheon of Olympic winter sports in 1998. But there might have been no Shaun White, the "Flying Tomato," grabbing Olympic gold for the U.S. without a man from Muskegon looking to give his little girls a reason to play outside in the snow. The snowboard is another "Made In Michigan" story. Listen Listening... / 3:03 Listen to Sherman Poppen explain how the snowboard started. "I took these two small skis and put them side by side and put a brace across them to hold them together, and something to put your foot against," said Sherm Poppen. Poppen was the dad who got creative in his Muskegon garage some 48 years ago. "We literally started sliding down a hill standing up." His wife named the new toy "snurfer" by combining the words "snow" and "surf." Fourteen years later, Jake Burton Carpenter came to a contest in Michigan and saw the snurfers. He then went back to Vermont to make his own "snurfboards." "I wrote him saying the word 'snurf' and any derivative thereof belongs to Sherman Poppen and if you want to keep making these things you're going to have to pay him a royalty," Poppen said. "That was probably one of the dumbest things I ever did, because he stopped making 'snurfboards' and started making 'snowboards.'" Here's a longer interview with Poppen: We want to hear from you. What surprising things do you know of that were invented or made in Michigan? We want to feature them as part of our "Made in Michigan" series. Looking for an offbeat vacation?

Andy Soper shares his on Failure:Lab By Stateside Staff • Jan 23, 2014 YouTube Listen Listening... / 10:54 Andy Soper from Failure:Lab Grand Rapids. Failure:Lab is a new event that's been happening in Michigan and is spreading outside the state. It's a program designed to get us thinking about the meaning of failure, to realize that failure happens to everyone and perhaps to inspire us to take intelligent risks. From their website: Each storyteller shares a personal failure in under nine minutes. The storyteller doesn't share a lesson, blame-shift, or talk about where they are now. Today on Stateside we hear from Andy Soper. He works with the Manasseh Project, developing programs to address the commercial sexual exploitation of minors. After graduating from Bowling Green State University and without a job, he decided to join the Army – an experience that did not end well.

Listen to our interview with him here: Fate of 'Arthur Miller' house in Ann Arbor got us wondering, why do we love famous people? By Stateside Staff • Jan 15, 2014 Ross voxphoto / Flickr Listen Listening... / 6:50 Why do we care so much about famous people? What they wear, what they eat, how they live? Well, there is an old house in Ann Arbor where renowned playwright Arthur Miller lived while he was a student at University of Michigan and there are those who are intensely interested in preserving that house. The house is right next to the U of M's Institute for Social Research. The university's expanding the Institute and wants that old house out of the way. And if they can't get someone to buy it, it will probably be demolished. This story got us thinking about just why we tend to care so much about celebrity homes and just what is behind our seemingly bottomless fascination with celebrities. We're joined today by Daniel Kruger. He's a professor and a researcher at the University of Michigan and he's done research into that fascination we have for famous people.

Sometimes it's fun to go fringe crazy, so I thought it would be fun to try making a weave with a side fringe. Have you made one of these yet? At first I thought the weave would become unstable due to the side fringe, but I have found that with packing my wefts in and weaving in some structural rows it is pretty sturdy off the loom.
There are a lot of different ways to add a side fringe, and maybe I'll try out and share some other ways in the future. For today's post I made my fringe by weaving precut pieces of yarn, each row used just one piece. Here are the steps:
step 1| I put in some support rows to start my weave off. This is always a good idea, it helps lock your warp threads into place. I would recommend putting in at least 2-3 rows.
step 2| I picked a length that I wanted my side fringe to go past my weave. The easiest way to do this is hold thread over your warped loom and cut to the length that you like the fringe to hang on both ends. If you're not sure what length you want, it's best to cut the thread a little longer and then trim it once finished. Using my first cut thread as a template I cut a bunch of other thread lengths, so that I had a lot to weave with.
step 3| weave the first thread row as a plain weave, pull the thread through until your ends are even on both sides of your warp.
step 4| weave your next thread in the plain weave in the opposite direction, again pulling your thread through until the ends are even on both sides. Continue doing this for about 11 rows or so, making sure to push your wefts tightly down your warps.
If you're interested in the pattern I created, I posted how to make it in this post here.
step 5| after about 11 rows, take a thread that is about 2.5 times as long as the threads you've been using so far. Weave this thread across your warps, leaving a tail as long as the other side fringe tails. Once you reach the end of the warps, weave the thread back in the plain weave. So you have woven two rows of plain weave with this thread. When you reach the end of the warps this time. Double knot the two thread ends and trim them to the size of the other side fringe ends and let them hang (I love easy finishes like this!). The point of this row is to lock the warp threads into place again and give your weave the structure it will need off the loom.
step 6| continue the above steps until you have made the design you wanted. For my weave I started to taper off into a triangle at the bottom and I added rya knots to continue the fringe look. If you're new to making triangle shapes, I go over a way to do it in my free beginner's pattern that you can receive by signing up for my email list below.
Have you tried adding side fringe to your weaves? If so did you weave it in a different way then I did? As always please feel free to share what you're working on in the comments below, I love to hear what others are creating!
Happy Weaving!
