Dayton directed the board last year to recommend how it could improve overall environmental governance, specifically the environmental review process.
Minnesota must fortify a languishing environmental oversight board and make it easier for the public to follow the review process, according recommendations in a new report produced for Gov. Mark Dayton.
The Environmental Quality Board includes the heads of nine state agencies and four citizens. Over the years its staff has shrunk and it lacks the resources to fulfill its mandate of working on issues that go beyond the purview of a single agency, Minnesota Public Radio reported Wednesday (http://bit.ly/UGA5HW ).
Dayton directed the board last year to recommend how it could improve overall environmental governance, specifically the environmental review process.
The report recommends a revitalized EQB, with up to 10 staffers, more than double the current level.
Agriculture Commissioner Dave Fredrickson, chair of the EQB, said the environment will benefit if the board can plan ahead.
"They can look into the future and anticipate problems that we may hit head-on, so rather than react, we can as a board act on some of those important issues," Fredrickson said.
He cited silica sand mining; the board has been asked to do a broad review called a Generic Environmental Impact Statement on that subject. If the board had more staff, it could proceed.
The plan also directs the EQB to help local governments that lack experience with environmental reviews and to provide more information for the public earlier on proposed projects.
"The earlier citizen and public involvement, the better," said Tony Kwilas, director of environmental policy for the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce.
Paula Maccabee, an attorney with Water Legacy, praised the proposal for improved electronic access to documents.
Dayton may be able to implement some of the recommendations by executive action but the Legislature would likely need to get involved in staffing increases.

Vizio tried to enter the smartphone market two years ago when they announced an Android phone at CES, but the device never made it to market and the project was scrapped. Now they are back with a pair of new smartphones that they hope will succeed in China. Even though these devices might not be headed for the US, it gives us a preview of what could be in store for later this year.
First, we have a high-end device with a 5-inch 1080p diplay, dual-core 1.5 GHz processor, and 2 GB RAM. A second cheaper model will feature a 1.2GHz dual-core MediaTek chip, 1 GB RAM and dual SIM slots. Both devices will run a stock version of Android 4.2 Jellybean and include on-screen buttons.
Design wise, the Vizio phones look similar to the HTC One series that feature a white polycarbonate body wrapped around a flat black display. Vizio is known for their low prices on electronics, so it will be interesting to see the final retail pricing.
The Verge spoke with Vizio CTO Matt McRae who explained the decision to target China. McRae said, "The go-to-market path is very similar to Europe and is much easier." Vizio might not have the relationships with the big four carriers in the US, but we could easily picture them teaming up with Straight Talk or some other pre-paid wireless brand that is sold at Walmart.
Google has proven that there is demand for cheap unlocked phones with stock Android, so we think Vizio could find some success in the US with some low prices and a big distribution deal with a retailer like Walmart.
Hit up the source link for additional pictures and video, then let us know what you think. Would you buy an Android phone from Vizio?

In each of the couplets, Jack, the past tense is more tentative, therefore more polite, than the present tense. Since these are forms of courtesy, there is no strict reason that the tenses in # 7 - 10 should agree; still, I prefer 7 and 9, with the latter the politer.
In 11 and 12, you have spelt 'break' wrong. The 'that' is optional, and the meaning is that the car easily malfunctions.

SPARQ Home
- Location: online only
- Website: sparqusa.com
What's the gray material shown in all the photos above, you ask? That's soapstone, friends, and it's the main material in most of the kitchen products from SPARQ Home. If you're new to the properties of soapstone, here's what you should know about it:
SPARQ Home, based out of Denver, began when owners Steven Chavez and Justin English sought to find a use for discarded soapstone. It turns out that 80% of mined soapstone is deemed "waste or scrap material" because kitchen design and construction companies (looking for countertop material, no doubt) want "large, flawless slabs," so anything that doesn't meet that standard is left behind. So, Chavez and English designed a line of soapstone products for the kitchen to make use of some of that waste.
Beyond merely being aesthetically pleasing, soapstone has a natural ability to maintain both cold and warm temperatures. As the company's About page states, "soapstone] is one of the most effective natural materials this planet produces for conducting and retaining temperature." The product line is designed to maximize this tendency, and includes a series of small bowls for sauces and dips (keep them warm or cold, depending what you want!) and a line of pizza stones and griddles, among other things.
You can purchase SPARQ products through the company's website, but Amazon is also an official retailer. (Check out the super positive reviews on one of the small bowls!)

But if we already have u beat in the cheerleader dept., surely that means the actual game will be a breeze right?
P.S. Yea the Cowboy chicks were #1. At least we beat their stinking football team.

Tag Archives: SUV 2017 Mini Countryman
Larger than Life 2017 Mini Countryman
Motor lovers owe it big time to Mini. Seriously. A word of huge thanks, Mini, for rocking the 1960s and lending your special touch to retro. You weren't big but you were great. MINI was like a rage, like a movement, like a belief that no one could shatter then. It stays untouched, unchanged even today. No doubts there. Of course, a lot has changed in terms of ownership, model creation and engineering. But, the word Mini makes our hearts skip a beat, out of sheer appreciation and amazement. So, when the air was heavy with the news of the ultra-advance 2017 Mini Countryman, of course, a zillion heartbeats skyrocketed. Zoom went our engines. But could we have helped it? Wait till you find out more and God knows you'll race out on the roads, with joy. Quite like everyone who spotted the magnetic and the mysterious SUV 2017 Mini Countryman.
Well, for starters, just know that Mini Australia has announced, rather haughtily, the pricing for the absolutely gorgeous 2017 Mini Countryman. To add to the thrill, some spy photographers – God bless them – have captured some smashing new shots from the model testing grounds in Germany. It is positively a sight for curious eyes. From what the pictures tell us, it sure makes for a ravishing second-generation machine. To rev up our engines more, on the fortunate roads, some sighted a densely camouflaged 2017 Mini Countryman couldn't be more awaited is all that can be said. It is easy to see how the British brand is working diligently to give the world a dose of compactness through its new offering. From what was noticed, the test car inherits the body panels from the Countryman that's running on the roads today. It wears a longer bonnet and grander overhangs. One thing is for sure, it is going to surpass the current 4.1-metre-long model. Magnanimous exteriors also mean that the machine will have a more spacious inside and a generous leg-room in 2017 Mini Countryman come already!
Tip-offs have it that Mini Countryman will largely be based on the UKL platform, something that makes it quite like the five-door Mini hatchbacks, wait a minute, even the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer!
Taking a look at the details, the grille, we were told, appeared significantly larger, so we are guessing some changes have transpired under the bonnet. It is expected that it will delight its takers with a range of three- and four-cylinder turbocharged petrol and diesel variants. Not only that, it will be available in front- and all-wheel-drive layouts.
It is almost like it is not an SUV but a wave of good news, isn't it? Yes, we know, in your heads you are picturing yourself bringing this pretty baby to life on a butter-smooth road lined with the perfect green trees, some crystal clear ponds and golden fields. Hold your horses or pray for 2017 to be here sooner. Only for the sake of the gorgeous 2017 Mini Countryman!

When I started this column-writing thing in December, we were just coming off the presidential election. At the time, the air was full of politics and everyone had an opinion about everything (including moi).
When I started this column-writing thing in December, we were just coming off the presidential election. At the time, the air was full of politics and everyone had an opinion about everything (including moi).
But I knew, even then, that I didn't want to be a one-note song. I liked writing about politics, but I also had other things on my mind that I wanted to share and hoped people would find some value in them.
August was going to be one of the "off-politics" months — I have lots of notes about gardening, the joys of growing your own food, and so on.
But somewhere along the line, that column kinda got hijacked on the way to Moral Monday.
In the course of that hijacking, some phrases I used in my previous career as a project manager started rolling around in my head, and they seem to apply here. Those phrases, "form over function" and "style over substance," indicate appearances are more important than content. Too many times, for instance, it mattered more that a document was properly formatted than what it said. Conversely, "substance over style" means it's the message that is important, not how it's conveyed.
So I've been thinking about Moral Monday in light of those concepts: the form (or structure) and the substance (or content).
Moral Monday is a phenomenon that can be seen both ways. Of the events themselves: Like-minded people, at first spontaneously, then in a more coordinated manner, gathered at the seat of their state government to express their opposition to the laws being considered and passed by the General Assembly. This is the form, or structure.
The other aspect to consider is the reason the Moral Monday protests developed (then grew each week) in the first place: Why did these people come? What were they protesting? This is the substance, or content.
Generally, I am a "substance over form" gal. I care more about the contents of a product than I do what sort of wrapping it comes in. If the jam is good, I don't care what the jar looks like. If a piece of writing teaches me something or touches my soul, then some misspelled words or grammatical errors don't bother me. And my priorities in a car are sound engineering and safety, not the color or shape. (Well, except I do love my red car. But I didn't buy it for the color.)
More often than not, one of these, either style or substance, is sacrificed for the other. Things might look good but perform poorly, or the appearance of that well-oiled machine might leave something to be desired.
But sometimes there is an exception that proves the rule. The Moral Monday protests have proved to be one of those exceptions: They are defined by content as well as form.
For those of us not able to get to Raleigh, Moral Monday came to the mountains two weeks ago. This was a "content" rally. At the gathering in Asheville, with an attendance estimated at around 10,000, speakers touched on many of the most important issues facing the state.
The Rev. Dr. William Barber gave a powerful speech, invoking the moral underpinnings of the protests, enumerating the groups that have been harmed by the crushing legislation the General Assembly has passed, and issuing a clarion call to action.
It was the first political rally I've ever attended, and as initiations go, this one left nothing on the table. It was a stirring and moving event for me.
But Moral Monday is a case where the form, or structure, is also important and has value.
I have friends here in Hendersonville who participated in the Moral Monday gatherings in Raleigh; I know at least two of them went with the intention of getting arrested — and courageously succeeded. As the rallies went on, this developed into part of the structure of Moral Monday.
And in so doing, these people — the thousands who gathered and the 986 who got themselves arrested — are just the latest in a long line of courageous civil protestors who have marked watershed events in our country's history.
Going all the way back, perhaps the first civil protest was the original tea party in Boston Harbor in 1773. From the late 1880s and carrying through to the adoption of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution in 1920, women marched for their right to vote. The 1960s saw the protests (and deaths) that led to the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and '65.
Of more recent vintage, we've had Occupy Wall Street and the modern tea party movement. And while I don't support the tea party policies, I include them in this litany of groups I admire for exercising their right to rally for what they believe in.
All of these had both substance and style.
So to all of you who supported Moral Monday — from the thousands who gathered to the hundreds who were arrested — I salute you for showing the rest of the state, the country and the world that democracy lives and thrives in the United States of America.
We are free to assemble and demonstrate for our beliefs. Millions across the planet yearn for this freedom, and many have died in its pursuit. We have it. Cherish it.

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (US - DVD R1)
Click here for details of a hidden scene involving Yoda and alternate DVD menus
To access the three distinct menus schemes, simply press 1, 2 or 3 on your remote during the copyright warnings as the disc loads. You need to press 1 for Coruscant, 2 for Utapau and 3 for Mustafar.
Disc two also contains an exciting 'egg'. If you watch 'The Chosen One' documentary carefully, you will see that the puppet Yoda from The Phantom Menace has been replaced by the digital Yoda from the other prequels! Do I smell a re-release?

Excellent... I have heard about this easter egg, but until now I did not know how to find it. It sounds pretty funny. Nor did I know that there were blooper reels on the Episodes I and II dvds either. I will have to check that out. I did notice the cgi Yoda during "The Chosen One" documentary. It wouldn't surprise me any if that were to be re-released. If the picture has been improved I may even buy it as well.

I noticed the new CG Yoda and the first thought I had was "re-release"... the man has no shame.
But it does look better than the puppet!

Cant see it!! I have a Pioneer with a >10 button etc. but I have never been able to access the easter eggs. Any ideas? Whenever I press the 8 it selects amin menu

I hope there will be a re-release with all six films. Take points from Peter Jackson and produce them like the LOTR Extended Editions, like a 20-disc Saga box set!

Does anyone know how to get this to work with a Sony DVD player? I don't have a 10+ button on mine, and when I try to enter 1138 normally it ends up just being 38 because once I hit 3, it erases the first 1 and so on. And when I try doing 1 enter 1 enter 3 enter 8 enter, it just highlights the THX optimizer option but that's all that happens.
Dark Jedi Member Join Date: March 2005 Location: United States Posts: 220
I have an older pioneer dvd player without the 10+ button and I still cant get this to work, actually I have a total of 3 dvd players in my home and this doesn't work on any of them.

For a Sony player... I think you have to use 11-enter 3-enter 8-enter. try combos of numbers like that... I got it to work for the other DVDs but I can't remember the details.

I am a blog reader that prefers to subscribe to blogs in my Google Reader, rather than officially follow them . The reason is that I like to read a blog for a certain time and see whether I am really interested in what goes on there. I would not like to "follow" somebody for a while and then disappoint them by "un-following", or is it "de-following".
I should confess that I seriously dislike the way some people insist on one being a follower of their blog, Facebook page, even Twitter account in order to participate in polls, giveaways or discussions. I do understand that often there are commercial pressures for some of them to demand it, but I still believe that there should be a degree of separation between sharing and hard sale. The former, for me, makes the blogosphere the interesting, funny, cosy, amusing and warm place bursting with ideas that one can visit to relax, or recharge creative batteries. The latter can appear occasionally but should not usurp the attention in my opinion. I do not mind when there is a reference to one's Etsy shop, or other personal commercial website - it's only fair and convenient to direct your visitors to the place where they can find your products. What gets me are the dozens of adds and "sponsors" that cloud the space and often have very little to do with the spirit and the content of the blog. Do people really fall for such blatant advertising, I often ask myself? Isn't it counter productive for the blog in the long term? There are less intrusive, more elegant ways to do it, so that it does not interfere with the reading when you do not want the publicity, yet it is there to access by the people that want it.
"Sew Many Ways" is one of the blogs I have in my Google Reader for a while already. I love the way Karen thinks of unusual applications for pretty trivial tools in her "Tool Time Tuesday" posts. I like her no nonsense, to-the-point style in her tutorials and her "Blog Buddy" helpful ideas. You might like to read her very pragmatic and intelligent analysis of what makes a good blog in a recent post. It seems her musings on blogging have provoked lots of comments and one of them touched her profoundly. She went to visit the person who left the comment and she discovered "Patchouli Moon Studio" blog.
Well, I went to check it for myself and found some beautiful creations. You might want to see it too.

Shares of Tesla (TSLA), Elon Musk's electric vehicle company, aren't priced for perfection. They are valued as if the sun, moon and stars were in perfect alignment.
As I noted in a post for InvestorPlace, Tesla faces huge challenges such as increasing battery production, broadening its product line an increased competition from conventional automakers. From the story:
While Tesla certainly is innovative and its CEO, Elon Musk, is among the most colorful, many people seem to forget that TSLA hasn't yet made money on an unadjusted basis and might not for some time. Tesla's costs will skyrocket in the coming years as it faces increased competition from the mainstream auto industry.
Anyone who is tempted to buy TSLA and can afford it should buy one of the company's vehicles. By all accounts, they are among the most reliable ever built notwithstanding the reports of vehicle fires. If that idea doesn't work, try lying down until the urge to buy this highly risky stock goes away.

This support comes from big fat lobbies with lots of money. Information gets out early usually in forms of blurbs from interviews, articles and quotes by people connected to the lobbies. This is also a stage when someone on the web picks it up and writes about it. Being how there is no concrete legislation on the table its easy to refute at this time. In general yuppies and cool stylish hipsters laugh and ridicule any early warning they get, until it is proposed and passed by the government as law and then they accept it as reality and voice their support for it. Thanks for posting about this eyewoo. Would be interesting to see if anyone else publishes anything about it. p.s.

There's great info about the actual legislation here: http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~csundt/copyweb/ A link to the ACTUAL BILL in the library of congress: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c109:H.R.5439: :::::::IF YOU READ ANYTHING, READ THIS::::::::::::: Here is another informative bit of information describing what's happening: http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Orphan_works_legislation According to that, it's had no movement since March 2007. So, you have the collection of OFFICIAL transcripts and documents, and Congresspedia, which is an excellent source to find info about what Congress is doing without scouring the A.P., or you can listen to people yakking on blogs. The last bit of published public information about the bill I can find is dated 2006, if that gives anyone any indication as to how freaked we should be. If you read it carefully, you'll find it doesn't apply to work younger than 30 years old, and even then there are technicalities in the favor of the artist.

An artist paints a painting. Its beautiful, intriguing, shocking, whatever... he takes a 7 year sabbatical to Tibet. He comes back, and realizes that Coca Cola has used his image in their national campaign that generated billions of new revenue. He sues COKE and gets $150,000 as maximum compensation. This sounds almost exactly like the oil industry fines. Billions made, thousands paid to the small people (aka you and i). The "searchable database" of registered works again sounds like something you will be required to get into to be able to have the "good faith" search happen. Who controls this database? How much will they charge? Every time power gets consolidated like this hair on the back of my neck stands up. They change their mind tomorrow, and you the little guy can do jack shit about it. To make this short. As it stands right now, if you made it you own it. This legislation attacks that right. Again giving various venues to limit the responsibility of the thief. The whole legislation is of course sold to you as something positive. Its "to save the art" and "enrich the culture". And again, the most important part to see between the lines of this draconian bill is the agenda behind it. I really hope that none of you in support of this really bought the altruistic bullshit accompanied by obvious fucking power grab. Some executive corporate mobster saw an opportunity to generate more profit by cutting costs associated with royalty payments to the little guy and we get this bill. Gift wrapped in the typical altruistic "save the <blank>" lie. And looking ahead it seems like an even more sinister move to discourage artistic expression since it will become unprofitable. I can tell you why this is in my opinion part of the agenda here too, but thats another discussion in which i will likely draw more fire than i have time to handle at the moment. Jimmyjimjim wrote: Did you just call us yuppies and cool stylish hipsters that laugh and ridicule any early warning they get?

All in the Family
When graduation rolls around each year, OC families come together to celebrate their students' accomplishments.
Occasionally, more than one child will graduate together. Even more rare is what happened to the Brotherton family in 2010.
Sisters Amanda and Jenny were joined by their mother, Elesa, as all three graduated with honors on the same day.
The Brothertons' OC story began in Alaska, where they lived until all three began their freshman year. Since Amanda and Jenny were ready to start college, the family began visiting Christian schools.
"Oklahoma Christian was a unanimous choice for us," Jenny said. "When we started meeting people from OC, we just knew this was where we would fit in."
"It was definitely worth it. I was very pleased with OC as a parent and a student."
Elesa's husband, David, is a public school psychologist and a minister. He found a position in an Oklahoma City-area school, allowing the family to move across the street from the OC campus. That paved the way for Elesa to enroll as well.
"I had always planned to finish college, but once we had children and began homeschooling them, I just never did," Elesa said. "When the girls started at OC, I had more free time. So, David and I decided this was the perfect time to finish in a Christian environment."
All three students excelled while at OC.
Jenny graduated summa cum laude and was hired by Chapparal Energy as an accountant before she graduated. She was chosen as the top graduating student by the School of Business Administration's faculty. After graduation, she started in OC's MBA program.
"The professors at OC encouraged me to learn, excel and continually push myself," Jenny said.
"It was like OC gave me the tools to build a starting point for my career. All I had to do was choose my material and start building."
Elesa and Amanda were both pre-pharmacy majors who graduated magna cum laude.
Elesa is now taking pharmacy classes at the University of Oklahoma, while Amanda will enroll next year.
"Amanda and I knew OC was the right choice for a career in a science field," Elesa said. "The college has such a high acceptance rate for medical programs that I knew we would be well prepared."
Being in the same program allowed the two to spend more time together.
"We took many of the same classes, so we were able to do homework and study for exams together," Amanda said. "We have always been close, but going to school together has added a new dimension to my relationships with my mom and sister. Plus, it was really fun for Jenny and me to do Spring Sing and serve as officers in the same club."
Sending three students to college on one income required budgeting, but Elesa said they didn't mind.
"We knew that attending OC would be more expensive than a public college, but it was definitely worth it," she said. "We were surrounded by Christian faculty and staff, and the Bible was not something people were embarrassed by. OC teaches the sciences in an academically demanding way, but we also learn how science complements the Bible. I was very pleased with OC as a parent and a student."
The Brothertons celebrated a fourth graduation last spring as well. Elesa and David's youngest child, Matthew, graduated from high school.
True to recent family tradition, Matthew is a freshman at OC this fall. While he won't have the chance to graduate together with his sisters and mother, he knows they will be there to cheer him on when graduation rolls around.

2013 is alive with the sounds of Foxygen. As the new year began, I found myself hearing the band name everywhere and became eager for their first full length album to be released January 22. Although the LA-born duo have released a handful of songs since their formation in 2005, the Richard Swift-produced We Are The 21st Century Ambassadors Of Peace & Magic is making a much deeper impression.I was raised on the best music of my parents' generation—the greats of classic rock—and even if I don't listen to that kind of music every day, I carry it with me in my head, attempting to work it into my life however possible (I sleep directly beneath a six foot Jim Morrison poster, guaranteeing sweet dreams). A few short minutes into Foxygen's new album and it's clear that they, too, live and breathe true, classic rock. Many bands have tried to recreate the carefree vibe of the artists who opened the door for rock music last century, but none compare to the captivating, swooning sounds of Foxygen. Harmonica, healthy doses of keyboard, gritty drums, and frantic vocals evoke echoes of the raw musical movement of the sixties.Smooth guitar doubled with singer Sam France's soothing voice take you back to a time you didn't realize you missed. France subtly demonstrates his vocal range within each song. At the beginning of "No Destruction," he adopts a nonchalant, lofty tone. Halfway through the song, France sounds almost bored until suddenly his voice overtakes the soft guitar in a Dylanesque whine, brutally honest, before quieting down without warning, and seemingly without effort. That same element of surprise is threaded throughout the entire album, both vocally and instrumentally (Jonathan Rado completes the duo, playing guitar and keyboards). "On Blue Mountain" mimics the highs and lows of a drug trip. Its sleepy intro is complemented with an irresistible chorus, which is later contrasted by a slow jam and psychedelic chanting. "Shuggie," the first single, delivers another pleasantly scattered tempo, easy to tap your toes to and hard to turn off.If you're convinced halfway through the album that you know how this one ends, hang in there—the title track will surprise you. "We Are The 21st Century Ambassadors Of Peace and Magic" breaks in with some echoed, incoherent words against surf-rock guitar until France screams the title, elongating and emphasizing whatever he fucking feels like. It's hard to listen to this song and not hear Jim Morrison's gruffness, Mick Jagger's wail, Sid Vicious' scream, and even Bowie's delicate delivery. Somehow, France has managed to capture and relay the vocal essence of multiple great rock frontmen before him in a single song, all while keeping his own stamp on it.Their retro sound and blasé lyrics all but guarantee that Foxygen will fall into dangerous hipster love-em-or-hate-em territory (they seem to be encouraging this, as they've been known to retweet negative feedback), but if you can't tell by their band name or their album title, they don't take themselves too seriously. Their track "San Francisco" sounds exactly how you'd expect--softer, dreamy and ironic--and their video is rich with vintage clothing, comfortingly awkward dance moves and stereoscope slides. They even have a song titled "Bowling Trophies."This band brings a charm that is impossible to ignore. Foxygen has produced the ultimate baby-making music, pulling the grooviest elements out of the '60s and mashing them with the abstract anomaly that music is today. Classic rock has always been relevant to today's music, but for a modern day band to return the favor gives new meaning to the word timeless.Foxygen is about to hit the road with Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Wampire. Check out the dates here.

NORTON — Asked about the 9-under 62 he shot in the final round to win the 2010 Deutsche Bank Championship, Charley Hoffman rattled off quite a few shots that he had taken over the final nine holes.
The fact that he could remember so many shots four years later was almost as impressive as his victory had been.
"I could probably tell you," Hoffman said, "every shot of every round I've played here."
His memory isn't limited to TPC Boston.
"Anywhere for the most part," he said.
Yeah, someone joked, but he probably can't remember where he left his car keys.
"No," Hoffman answered. "My daughter probably stole those."
Experience playing TPC Boston well could help when the Deutsche Bank Championship gets underway on Friday,
"I can tell you the majority of the spots where I've hit it throughout the years," Hoffman said. "I think that's what makes a good golfer really good. You know where you want to be and you don't want to be. That's why guys on the Tour for a longer time have the advantage over a rookie because you sort of know the nuances of the golf course."
But such positive experience is not required. Adam Scott won the Deutsche Bank Championship in 2003 as a sponsor's exemption in his first trip here.
Of course, that was the inaugural event so no one had played the course before. Scott's winning experience, however, helped him tie for second the following year. Olin Browne won here in 2005 after tying for 47th and missing the cut in his previous two trips here. Rory McIlroy won here in 2012 after tying for 37th in 2010 in his only other visit.
But winning here in 2004 helped Vijay Singh triumph again in 2008. So happy memories certainly don't hurt.
"I wouldn't say there was a big learning curve on this golf course," Hoffman said, "but it's a golf course that everybody knows you're going to have to go out and make birdies. You've got to get to 20-something under. There's guys shooting 60, 61 or 62 every year out here."
Seven past champions qualified to tee off in the opening round today — defending champion Henrik Stenson, McIlroy, Webb Simpson, Hoffman, Phil Mickelson, Scott and Singh. After missing the cut last weekend at the Barclays, Mickelson said he might skip the Deutsche Bank to take a break from a disappointing season, but he hasn't withdrawn yet. Mickelson's only top 10 this season came when he placed second at the PGA Championship.
Tiger Woods, the 2006 Deutsche Bank champion, didn't qualify this year, but the event continues to benefit his foundation and his foundation continues to run the event. Woods will miss the Deutsche Bank for only the third time in the event's 12-year history.
At 7,216 yards, the par-71 TPC Boston favors long hitters such as Hoffman.
"This is a big hitter's golf course," Hoffman said. "It's a big advantage. Is that right or wrong? That's not for me to make that decision, but definitely a guy that hits it a little longer has a little bit of advantage on this golf course."
The top 100 golfers in the FedExCup standings qualified to compete in the second round of the playoffs at TPC Boston this week, but only 94 will tee off in the opening round on Friday because Justin Rose and Sergio Garcia skipped the event to rest, Graeme McDowell and Paul Casey withdrew due to their wives giving birth, Jason Duffner pulled out with a neck injury, and Dustin Johnson is on a voluntary leave for "personal challenges."
Hunter Mahan, McIroy and Jimmy Walker, the top three in the FedExCup standings, will tee off together on the 10th tee at 9:20 a.m. on Friday in the opening round. Matt Kuchar, Bubba Watson and Jim Furyk, the next three highest ranked players in the standings, will tee off together on the first tee at 1:40 p.m.
The top 70 golfers will advance next week to the BMW Championship in Cherry Hills Village, Colo., and the top 30 after that event will qualify for the Tour Championship in Atlanta the following week. The FedExCup champion will receive $10 million.
The Deutsche Bank Championship provides golfers one last chance to impress U.S. Ryder Cup captain Tom Watson before he makes his three captain's picks on Tuesday.
Brandt Snedeker is ranked 71st in FedExCup points entering the Deutsche Bank Championship and is among those hoping to move into the top 70. Stenson, the defending FedExCup champion, is ranked 66th, just inside the top 70.

History and information about Invidia Exhausts and their products.
Invidia Exhausts feature a good balance of price and performance. Invidia offers the motorsport enthusiasts a strong line-up of exhaust systems. Each Stainless Invidia Exhaust is constructed with high quality SUS304 Stainless Steel, CNC-machined flanges, and manufactured with a polished finish. Each system features mandrel-bent stainless steel piping for maximum exhaust flow and reduced back pressure. These Invidia exhausts are engineered to produce strong mid- to top-end power gains, as well as an increase in horsepower and torque. Invidia catback exhaust systems are available with polished Rolled Tips, Straight Tips, and for that unique look Titanium Burnt Tips. Invidia also offers a free flowing Titanium Exhaust system for select vehicles which improves power, torque and response over the factory exhaust. Titanium is stronger and lighter than steel so this gives your car a better power to weight ratio helping to improve straight line performance and cornering. Titanium is also highly resistant to corrosion and rust.
INVIDIA is no newcomer to the high-performance exhaust industry, since they began manufacturing in the late 1980's under the name RS*R with the expertise of the original owner and developer, himself a racer. The company mushroomed due to the increasing need for a primo exhaust system that could perform well under difficult racing conditions. Consequently, in 1998 INVIDIA opened a small manufacturing facility so that they could handle this challenge, becoming quite successful in this arena. Two things served as an impetus to the company to make some changes: their success in racing competitions and the overwhelming acceptance of its products. In 2001 the decision was made to bring their successful GT exhaust systems farther afield and make it available to everyone in the performance marketplace. Later, the G200 series exhaust was released following this successful endeavor. Quality of production was always paramount to INVIDIA and they were rewarded for their efforts in exceptional performance and durability when many exhausts were tested and approved by the German government KBA, the Federal Motor Transport Authority. Always anxious to improve upon what they had INVIDIA made a major decision to modernize their facilities with the latest in robotic machinery and mandrel bending machines to enable them to design and manufacture a totally different exhaust labeled the "Q-300" series.
Some examples of their dedication to improvement are the Invidia N1 BRZ, INVIDIA Turbo Manifolds for SUBARU IMPREZA 2005-2016, or the INVIDIA RSX DC5 EXHAUST MANIFOLD for your Acura. And for your dual exhaust vehicles like the INFINITI and NISSAN, the Gemini exhaust system has a muffler that is expertly designed for a deep rich tone, and since they are a cat back design they eliminate the need for existing piping after the catalytic converter. INVIDIA exhausts did not forget Toyota owners, but developed the INVIDIA SUPRA TURBO to meet performance needs with this cat-back system. Check out all the aftermarket performance Invidia exhausts for Acura, Infiniti, Lexus, Nissan, Toyota, Ford, Honda, Mazda, Mini, Mitsubishi, Scion, Subaru and Volkswagen on the LMPERFORMANCE website and find the Invidia catback exhaust that will increase your car's performance and give you the melodious sound you can't do without at a great price.

Gecko is a web browser engine used in many applications developed by Mozilla Foundation and the Mozilla Corporation (notably the Firefox web browser including its mobile version and their e-mail client Thunderbird), as well as in many other open source software projects. Gecko is free and open-source software subject to the terms of the Mozilla Public License version 2.[9]
It is designed to support open Internet standards, and is used by different applications to display web pages and, in some cases, an application's user interface itself (by rendering XUL). Gecko offers a rich programming API that makes it suitable for a wide variety of roles in Internet-enabled applications, such as web browsers, content presentation, and client/server.[10]
Gecko is written in C++ and is cross-platform, and runs on various operating systems including BSDs, Linux, OS X, Solaris, OS/2, AIX, OpenVMS, and Microsoft Windows. Its development is now overseen by the Mozilla Foundation.
Development of the layout engine now known as Gecko began at Netscape in 1997, following the company's purchase of DigitalStyle. The existing Netscape rendering engine, originally written for Netscape Navigator 1.0 and upgraded through the years, was slow, did not comply well with W3C standards, had limited support for dynamic HTML and lacked features such as incremental reflow (when the layout engine rearranges elements on the screen as new data is downloaded and added to the page). The new layout engine was developed in parallel with the old, with the intention being to integrate it into Netscape Communicator when it was mature and stable. At least one more major revision of Netscape was expected to be released with the old layout engine before the switch.
After the launch of the Mozilla project in early 1998, the new layout engine code was released under an open-source license. Originally unveiled as Raptor, the name had to be changed to NGLayout (next generation layout) due to trademark problems. Netscape later rebranded NGLayout as Gecko. While Mozilla Organization (the forerunner of the Mozilla Foundation) initially continued to use the NGLayout name (Gecko was a Netscape trademark),[11] eventually the Gecko branding won out.
In October 1998, Netscape announced that its next browser would use Gecko (which was still called NGLayout at the time) rather than the old layout engine, requiring large parts of the application to be rewritten. While this decision was popular with web standards advocates, it was largely unpopular with Netscape developers, who were unhappy with the six months given for the rewrite.[12] It also meant that most of the work done for Netscape Communicator 5.0 (including development on the Mariner improvements to the old layout engine) had to be abandoned. Netscape 6, the first Netscape release to incorporate Gecko, was released in November 2000 (the name Netscape 5 was never used).
As Gecko development continued, other applications and embedders began to make use of it. America Online, by this time Netscape's parent company, eventually adopted it for use in CompuServe 7.0 and AOL for Mac OS X (these products had previously embedded Internet Explorer). However, with the exception of a few betas, Gecko was never used in the main Microsoft Windows AOL client.
On July 15, 2003, AOL laid off the remaining Gecko developers and the Mozilla Foundation (formed on the same day) became the main steward of Gecko development. Today, Gecko is developed by employees of the Mozilla Corporation, employees of companies that contribute to the Mozilla project, and volunteers.
Standards support
|Origins and lineage
From the outset, Gecko was designed to support open Internet standards. Some of the standards Gecko supports include:
- CSS Level 2.1 (partial support for CSS 3)[13]
- DOM Level 1 and 2 (partial support for DOM 3)
- HTML4 (partial support for HTML5—see Comparison of layout engines (HTML5))
- JavaScript 1.8.5 (full ECMAScript 5.1 support),[14] implemented in SpiderMonkey
- MathML
- XForms (via an official extension)
- XSLT and XPath, implemented in TransforMiiX
Gecko also partially supports SVG 1.1.[15][16]
In order to support web pages designed for legacy versions of Netscape and Internet Explorer, Gecko supports DOCTYPE switching. Documents with a modern DOCTYPE are rendered in standards compliance mode, which follows the W3C standards strictly. Documents that have no DOCTYPE or an older DOCTYPE are rendered in quirks mode, which emulates some of the non-standard oddities of Netscape Communicator 4.x; however, some of the 4.x features (such as layers) are not supported.
Gecko also has limited support for some non-standard Internet Explorer features, such as the marquee element and the
document.all property (though pages explicitly testing for
document.all will be told it is not supported).[citation needed]
Gecko is primarily used in web browsers, the earliest being Netscape 6 and Mozilla Suite (later renamed SeaMonkey). It is also used in other Mozilla web browser derivatives such as Firefox and Firefox for mobile and the implementation of the Internet Explorer-clone that is part of Wine.[17] Mozilla also uses it in their Thunderbird email-client and their Firefox OS.
Other web browsers using Gecko include Airfox, Waterfox, K-Meleon, Lunascape, Pale Moon, Portable Firefox, Conkeror, Classilla, TenFourFox, HP Secure Web Browser, Oxygen and Sylera (for mobile).
Other products using Gecko include Conkeror, Oxygen, Nightingale, Instantbird and Google's picture-organization software Picasa (for Linux).[18]
DevHelp, a GTK+/GNOME browser for API documentation, used Gecko for rendering documents.[19]
Gecko is also used by Sugar for the OLPC XO-1 computer.[20] Gecko is used as a complete implementation of the XUL (XML User Interface Language). Gecko currently defines the XUL specification.
Products that have historically used Gecko include Songbird, Epiphany (now known as Web and no longer using Gecko), Sunbird (calendar), and other web browsers including Swiftfox, Flock, Galeon, Camino, Minimo, Beonex Communicator, Kazehakase, and MicroB.
After Gecko 2.0, the version number was bumped to 5.0 to match Firefox 5, and from then on has been kept in sync with the major version number for both Firefox and Thunderbird,[21] to reflect the fact that it is no longer a separate component.[citation needed]
In the past, Gecko had slower market share adoption due to the complexity of the Gecko code, which aimed to provide much more than just an HTML renderer for web browsers.[22][23][24] Mozilla's engineering efforts since then have addressed many of these historical weaknesses.[25]
The Gecko engine also provides a versatile XML-based user interface rendering framework called XUL that was used extensively in mail, newsgroup, and other programs. Another reason for much of the complexity in Gecko is the use of XPCOM, a cross-platform component model.[26] However, its use has been scaled back.[27]
On Windows and similar platforms, Gecko depends on non-free compilers. Thus, FOSS distributions of Linux can not include the Gecko package used in the Windows compatibility layer Wine.[28]
