The U.S. Senate voted 75-24 in support of an online sales tax measure.
Paul Demery
A proposed federal law that would greatly expand sales tax collection by online retailers took a big step over the weekend. The Senate voted Friday 75-24 in favor of an amendment to support the Marketplace Fairness Act during discussions over the Senate's 2014 budget plan, which passed on Saturday as a non-binding resolution.
In order for the Marketplace Fairness Act to become law, the House and Senate will now need to pass the bill as a standalone piece of legislation or as part of a larger bill, a spokeswoman for Senator Dick Durbin (D, IL), sponsor of the Main Street Fairness Act, says. "The importance of the vote on Friday was to show that there is overwhelming support for the idea in the Senate," she says.
Friday's vote to include Marketplace Fairness "proves that an overwhelming majority of senators support this bipartisan legislation to level the playing field for brick-and-mortar retailers," Durbin says. He notes that Marketplace Fairness is co-sponsored by 28 Republicans and Democrats in the Senate and 48 Republicans and Democrats in the House, and supported by 15 Republican governors and seven Democratic governors. In addition, Durbin notes that the Marketplace Fairness legislation differs from other sales tax bills that have died in Congress in recent years by providing states with more options in how they set rules for what products are subject to sales tax, to make it easier for retailers to collect tax across multiple states.
If enacted into law, Marketplace Fairness as currently written would let the 45 states plus the District of Columbia that have a state sales tax mandate that all retailers must collect sales tax whether or not they have a physical presence, or nexus in legal terms, such as stores or distribution centers in a customer's state. The legislation exempts retailers with less than $1 million in annual remote sales, that is, sales in states other than those where they have physical locations. Under current federal law, states can only mandate sales tax collection by retailers that a have an in-state physical presence.
The votes this weekend drew predictably strong reactions from those in the retail industry on both sides of this heated debate. Among those favoring expanded sales tax collection are retail chains and Amazon.com Inc., No. 1 in the Internet Retailer Top 500; those opposed include eBay Inc. and NetChoice, a lobbying group for retailers including Overstock.com Inc. and members of the Electronic Retailing Association, which represents TV-based and other merchants.
Supporters contend the Senate bill will provide a more level playing field by requiring more web merchants to collect sales tax, while raising revenue for cash-starved states. Opponents argue that it will stifle Internet business and unfairly require online and catalog retailers to take on the cost of collecting revenue for states.
"This is a critically important issue for retailers—both large and small—across the country," says Matthew Shay, president and CEO of the National Retail Federation, an industry group representing both retail chains and web retailers. "NRF members will continue to educate and lobby legislators on the importance of leveling the sales tax playing field for all retailers—no matter their preferred channel."
Betsy Laird, senior vice president of global public policy of the International Council of Shopping Centers, adds that the Marketplace Fairness Act would replace an "outdated" tax system that favors web and catalog retailers over store merchants. "Government should not be in the business of picking winners and losers in the marketplace, and our free market system should not be burdened by an outdated, overly complicated and blatantly unfair tax policy," she says.
But Brian Bieron, senior director of global public policy at eBay Inc., notes that Marketplace Fairness would unfairly subject small retailers to the burden of collecting and remitting tax for some 10,000 state and local taxing jurisdictions. "The current bill would force small business owners who sell online to become tax collectors for every state across America, threatening them with audits and litigation by tax collectors from states that are thousands of miles away from where they live, work and create jobs." he says.
We R Here, a group representing small online retailers and backed by eBay, contends that Marketplace Fairness favors large retail chains who can better afford to collect and remit sales tax across multiple states. "Senators need to understand that $1 million in sales translates to less than $100,000 in business income—enough to support only a few employees," says Phil Bond, executive director of We R Here.

Large - 14.5"L x 4.5"W x 5.5"H
Small - 20 regular bags
Medium - 20 magnum bags
Large - 45 regular bags
Customer Reviews
Comments: Both below reviews are somewhat right. First of all, there is no way the large will hold anything close to 45 bags. If you have 'new' bags of normal plastics, lets say a bag of 7.5" power worms, you are going to do about 8-10 bags per side per bag at best. meaning 16-20 bags/bag. If you have some used bags that aren't as bulky, you can maybe get more like 15 per side, but its a mess. Bag doesn't half fold over nearly as easily as you'd hope for viewing the contents. Quality is good, but its what you think it would be, basically two normal sized zipper bags next to each other. I'm sick of storing my plastics in plastic Plano containers, as they have even less room & are hard to shut without lots of shuffling. I think these will meet my needs & in the end, they are better than carrying around 8 soft zip bags, at least you only have 4. I'd rate them 3.5/5. Could use a little wider opening & Id prefer the divider in the middle be taller and hard, instead of a small Velcro soft fabric. By the way, it is removable to the point that you could fit a single row of extra wide packs in these instead of two smaller rows.
From: TBAss: USA 6/3/16
Comments: Switched from 3700 standard/ deep Plano boxes to these bags due to a different boat and different storage configurations - I am happy with the switch. Contrary to the review below, I believe it could hold 40 bags of 'some type' of plastics, in the extra large bag. Bag is semi-water proof, doesn't easily tip over, and easily stores bags of baits. Its very obvious that this bag was designed around the Perfect Plastic Packaging... which is difficult to find a tackle management system for by itself. I will be a repeat buyer!
From: Ryan: WI 6/19/15
Comments: poor design doesn't hold anywhere near 40 bags of worms. ugly. I am pretty disappointed in this purchase, I would give it about 2 out of 5 for a rating. its just a open bag with a zipper. go buy a cheap 5 dollar duffle bag from a dollar general store and you will get the same results and be happier because you didn't get ripped off from a name on the side of it. I better be seeing this bag on ole kvd's boat and him actually using this thing this year in the bass tournaments I see on tv. I bet if he has one at all its laying in the very deepest part of the hull of his boat and never seen daylight since it was put there

Great walking sneaker
"Love these sneakers ! They are very comfy. Love the wide toebox. They do run a bit short. Typically I would wear a 5 1/2, but needed a 6 in this shoe."

Great Shoe
"Very comfortable shoe. I have running and cross trainers which I would wear for "walking". Wanted an actual walking shoe for power walks. These feel great. Definitely better for walking than my cross trainers or running shoes. Very flexible, comfortable. I wear a half size bigger in Ryka shoes (and other athletic shoes) than my regular/dress shoe size. I wear a 7.5 in everyday shoes, but ordered an 8 in these and fit is perfect."

Don't be surprised if the Obama administration announces aid cuts to Egypt in the coming days -- some aid, but not all.
The Associated Press and other news outlets, citing unnamed officials, report that prospective cutbacks are a response to continuing violence in Egypt, months after the military removed President Mohammed Morsi from power.
The administration is not providing details, but says it does not plan to cut all aid to Egypt.
"The reports that we are halting all military assistance to Egypt are false," said Caitlin Hayden, spokeswoman for the National Security Council. "We will announce the future of our assistance relationship with Egypt in the coming days, but as the president made clear at UNGA (the United Nations General Assembly), that assistance relationship will continue."
In reporting on likely cutbacks of aid, the Associated Press said:
"The U.S. has been considering such a move since the Egyptian military ousted the country's first democratically elected leader in June.
"It would be a dramatic shift for the Obama administration, which has declined to label President Mohammed Morsi's ouster a coup and has argued that it is in U.S. national security interests to keep aid flowing.
"It would also likely have profound implications for decades of close U.S.-Egyptian ties that have served as a bulwark of security and stability in the Middle East.
"The move follows a particularly violent weekend in Egypt, as dozens of people were killed in clashes between security forces and Morsi supporters."

Skip to comments.Al Jazeera Is Said to Be Acquiring Current TV (Al Gore's failure network)
Posted on 01/02/2013 3:08:13 PM PST by autumnraine
Al Jazeera is putting the final touches on a deal to take over Current TV, the low-rated cable channel that was founded by Al Gore and his business partners seven years ago.
If the deal is completed, Current will provide the pan-Arab news giant with something it has sought for years: a pathway into American living rooms. Current is available in about 60 million of the 100 million homes in the United States with cable or satellite service.
Rather than simply use Current to distribute its English-language channel, called Al Jazeera English and based in Doha, Qatar, Al Jazeera will create a new channel based in New York, according to people with knowledge of the deal negotiations. The channel may be called Al Jazeera America. Roughly 60 percent of the programming will be produced in the United States, while the remaining 40 percent will come from Al Jazeera English.
Al Jazeera may absorb some Current TV staff members, according to the people, who insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. But Currents schedule of shows will most likely be dissolved in the spring.
The plan will bring Al Jazeera, which is financed by the government of Qatar, into closer competition with CNN and other news channels in the United States.
They really want to be able to compete for American viewers, and they have to find some way to get on, said Philip Seib, the director of the center on public diplomacy at the University of Southern California and the author of The Al Jazeera Effect.
(Excerpt) Read more at mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com ...
I'm glad someone more rational is taking over.
They won't even have to change producers, staff or talent.
....so Global Warming is a plot to destroy Islam?
So it goes from irrelevancy to insanity.
Maybe Al Jazeera will bring in some set designers that can build something better looking than what I used to see on Community Access Cable programs in the late 1980s.
AJ will likely use this create Al Jazeera America. If it's anything like Al Jazeera English, I think it will do fairly well.
They aren't.
"Al Jazeera may absorb some Current TV staff members, according to the people, who insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. "
we know they'd never allo a conservative to buy a channel, the cable-sat systems would drop it
Here's a sample.
Al Gorezeera
Their English language coverage is a bit to the right of CNN (except when discussing anything about Israel, of course).
From one group of inbred America-haters to another.
It will probably be more conservative under Al Jezeera
Al Gore is a vapid doooosh.
'Finally, a network that will take me!
The Al-Gore-Zero Network.
What better vehicle to unleash cells already here than coded messages
on Current TV to terrorist ready to strike.
What better vehicle to hide behind when u are caught taking video or
pictures of potential targets. Hide behind freedom of the press.
Great idea for terrorist, bad idea for Americans.
Sweet deal, station comes with its own built in easily propagandized audience.
So a presidential contender starts a cable network to push the crazy Left agenda, and a few years later the muzzies buy it for access to American homes? If a fiction writer wrote this 10 years ago, we woulda questioned his sanity.
Yep, they are all united in their hatred of Christians and Israel, oh, and themselves too, most of them are white males, oops, almost forgot, they all loooooooooove to hate the United States too, you know, America is the root of all the worlds ills with colonialism and all, funny the Chinese get a pass, whoops, I forgot they aren't white, funny, I've never seen a Chinese black.
I thought they already owned it. As for competing with CNN it'll be a tie as to who has the lowest ratings.
I'm sure the audience won't notice any difference.

|Ford Focus Builds & General Showroom Post pictures and information of your Focus being built or your car images here. We want to see your Focus! More Images: Visit Our Online Ford Focus Gallery
|Topic Review (Newest First)
-I installed a dimming rear mirror which has three wires (ground, Ignition live, and the mystery wire) I need to find where the mystery wire goes but I believe I am just missing the power wire.QUOTE]
Does your dimming mirror have a switch or button on it to turn on/off? If so that third wire is probably for outer mirrors with dimming. Usually (key word) all the strategy is in the interior rear view because that's where the light sensor is, when that gets dim then the outside gets dim. If you want to test just connect your hot and ground leads to appropriate voltage and see if it powers up. Then use a flash light or something similar (no LED, has to be halogen) shine the light onto the sensor in the mirror and see if it gets dark. It should, if it works the way I'm thinking
Update on electrical:
I have made some progress I don't want to turn over the car yet until some of these are issues are sorted. Here is a quick breakdown of how my car is wired/setup and then I will list the current issues I am facing to see if we can come to some solutions.
Car Setup:
Mach HID Headlights
-Turn signal bulb has been converted to a white running light that will always be on once the key is turned
-Small light has been converted to a running light that will come on when the switch is turned to running lights
Headlight Switch is a European Switch
-This version includes all the workings for the rear fogs, headlight levelers, parking lights.
-currently not wired up for parking or rear fogs
Rear Tail light and Fog harness
-This is the true euro harness and has not been spliced yet (I wanted to see what worked first hoping for the best)
Front Bumper and Fender Turn Signals
-Both wired up to previous turn signal leads
What Currently happens at all headlight switch stages:
Turn on Key
-Both front running lights come on.
-Third brake light comes on along with bottom left fog/reverse light
Turn light switch to running lights
-Only right side of car lights come on (passenger side mini bulb indicator and brake light bulb)
Pull for Front fog lights
-Both fogs come on
Turn on Headlights
-Both headlights fire up
Obvious problems so far:
-Driver side running lights do not come on
-With ignition on Third Brake light and drivers side reverse fog comes on (need to still check bulb on passenger side rear Fog)
-Brake light don't seem to be working with the compression of the pedal
-Horn does not work (we can hear a clicking solenoid noise when pressed but nothing else)
-turn signals do not work currently (I believe they should with the ignition on, I need to check the hazard switch yet)
-Whatever Gauge Illumination wire I used is not working as I am not getting any power to my mechanical oil pressure gauge I will find another soon with the multi-meter
-I really need to find a pin readout for the euro headlight switch (I have the ford work shop manuals so I will check there first and then I will contact my friends in Europe. I am not too concerned about the parking setup but I want the rear fogs to work correctly.)
-I installed a dimming rear mirror which has three wires (ground, Ignition live, and the mystery wire) I need to find where the mystery wire goes but I believe I am just missing the power wire.
I know this is a lot right now and I am going to continue working at it but I thought I would post it up for people to share there thoughts if they have answers. I also did a quick search on the topic yesterday and I have a few pages to read yet. I think I am going to post some pictures up as well of a few things that are going on so it is easier for everyone to visualize.
|patience has been a virtue with this project
|Yes! Been waiting a long time to hear this kitten roar!
Hooked up the battery last night to make sure we are getting power to certain areas and ran into an issue with getting power to the actual key. I can get power to the light switch which turns the dash lights on but I am not getting much else although the correct voltage is definitely circulating.
I took some pictures and was going to post up my diagram but after looking over it some more in the morning I think I have it figured out.
I need to try one more thing tonight and if I am still having issues I will be back here to hopefully find some answers.
If I can get the engine oil primed this weekend I will order the start up tune so we can all finally hear this thing run!
Extremely glad I waited to do the last of the electrical in the engine bay and vacuum hose plumbing until after the brakes were bled!
A word of advice when making your own brake lines is to make sure they are perfectly straight and tightened well (more then what I remembered)
I hooked up my power bleeder this weekend and I had a nice mess by the time I was done. Luckily all my connections on the inside of the car were tight and it was mainly issues in the rear (I must have installed the lines and not tightened them up all the way) Only one brake line had to be pulled and re-cut/flared and I ended up having to do it twice. This was one of the lines going to a three way before it dives into the car so you can imagine how much fun this was to work on.
Here is a picture for reference before the engine was in. (Top line was leaking)
4 hours later I can say that everything is bled and now I can move on to finishing the engine bay connections so I can finally test the electrical and try turning over and priming the engine!
After I had an issue with bleed nipples I ordered a new set in stainless and they arrived this week. When putting them in I had an issue getting the very last one to thread and upon closer examination I noticed the last bleed nipple I pulled took some aluminum with it!
After having a bit of a panic attack and researching where I could find another caliper I remembered what we do on most race cars that use aluminum calipers.
So I cleaned out the threads and ordered a complete set of PFC inserts and bleed nipples.
These are not cheap for what they are ($115) but it was much cheaper then sourcing another caliper right now and they hold up to tons of brake bleeding abuse at the track. Also they all seemed to torque up fine so crisis averted. :)
Also finished the AN lines for the valve cover and oil separator.
|bring it!
Had a bit of panic this weekend when I was going to bleed the brakes. Two of the Brembo bleed nipples were seized badly! Luckily after heating them a few times and tapping on them with a flat bunch I managed to break them free. Just ordered a new set of stainless ones which I though they came with from the beginning!
Started connecting electrical and it seems to be going pretty good so far, can't believe how many unused plugs there are. Another thing I will most likely have to due is flip the turbo oil feed and temp sensor because after looking at it I think the tolerance will be too tight for the sensor plug.
Still waiting on a K&N setup for by oil breather. Going on two weeks now :(
Still a chance this may be running by the end of the month! :)

Dear Editor,
We all have our yellow ribbons up and hang the flag in respect of the troops serving our country, fighting for our freedoms. But have any of you noticed the "E" on highway 29 north east of the high school? It is beautiful. If you haven't seen it drive by and notice it. I appreciate the young people that painted it this year. Every time I drive by and see it, I think of our service men and women and say a prayer for them for their safety. I hope the group who painted the "E" this year are commended in some way.

The Range Creek exhibit is coming to the John Wesley Powell River History Museum for one year, beginning March 10. A reception and introduction to the exhibit will take place that day. Utah Museum of Natural History personnel will be present to demonstrate the exhibit and answer questions. All interested persons are welcome and encouraged to attend this family oriented event.
The itinerary at the museum for that day will be: 1-1:50 p.m., children from elementary; 2-2:50 p.m., children from elementary; 5-6:30 p.m., family festival; 6:30-7 p.m., refreshments; and 7-7:45 p.m., film and talk by Dr. Duncan Metcalfe and Waldo Wilcox, followed by question and answer session.
The key concepts of the program will be: people's lives-both today and in the past-are shaped by the environment in which they live; artifacts provide some evidence of how people lived a long time ago, the Fremont people are recognized on the basis of several unique living patterns and artifacts; and archaeological sites are irreplaceable and deserve stewardship for the benefit of everyone.
In addition to the above activities, five learning centers will be set up. Center 1 will be nature's grocery store. This center will explore how the Fremont people used native plants. It includes a native plant game from Teaching Toolbox, grinding corn, processing seeds and nuts in mortar and pestle, and possibly winnowing seeds.
Center 2, hunters, will explore hunting practices and tools used by the Fremont. Also included will be an examination of projectile points and tools for making them and a demonstration with scrapers and hides.
Center 3 will be about pottery and baskets. This one will explore how the Fremont stored and transported their food. It will include the making of pinch pots from clay and a cordage activity to learn basic weaving and basketry.
Center 4, Fremont art, will explore the distinctive figures and rock art of the Fremont. Activities will include making figurines from clay by following illustrations or making plaster replicas from molds of originals. Drawing examples will also be given.
Center 5 will be concerned with the science of basic archaeology. Activities will include matching pottery fragments to whole pots; aging a site based on pottery types; and a tree ring activity. A map of Utah showing the distribution of the Fremont people and sites will also be handed out.
For the evening family festival, each child will be given an explorer's passport. This will be a small booklet with questions to help guide them through each of the learning centers. Learning centers will be operated by UMNH staff and volunteers.

The National Gallery of Australia library's James Gleeson oral history has just been accepted into the UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) Australian Memory of the World Register, during the current UNESCO conference, Canberra 19 - 22 February.
The James Gleeson Oral History Collection joins other culturally significant material on the Register including the Endeavour Journal of James Cook, the Mabo Case Manuscripts, the Sorry Books and The Story of the Kelly Gang 1906.
The Oral History Collection comprises 98 interviews with prominent Australian artists accompanied by 2000 photographs of the works discussed in the interviews, as well as edited transcripts.
The oral history project was initiated by the Gallery's first Director, James Mollison, before the Gallery was opened. James Gleeson also served as Chairman of the Acquisitions Committee at the Gallery in 1974 -1975. At the time he was conducting the interviews he was a member of the Australian National Gallery Council.
As primary unpublished records, they are of enormous significance to the Australian community. The Library's aim is to increase awareness and access to these alternative – and rich – research resources for the Australian visual arts. They deserve to be heard, to be read and most of all, to be used.
The interviews have been documented on the Research Library catalogue and a website has been created to provide a sampling of the interviews, including audio and images.

FGD: Duck Hunting
Vintage Flame
January 21 2013 05:48PM
After the Flames didn't fare so well Shark fishing, today they'll try their luck at Duck hunting.
In four games last year, both teams were 2-1-1 and both winning their games in their own barn.
With the shortened schedule, the Flames will play the Ducks three times, two of which will be here at the Dome. Last time these two team faced off against each other, it was the last game of the regular season. Both teams were out of the playoffs and basically disinterested;. Akim Aliu led the Flames with two goals and the Ducks couldn't wait to get on the plane to go back to sunny California.
Tonight is a different story all together. The Ducks had the day off yesterday after taking the Canucks to the woodshed, and the Flames skate in their first of many... many, back-to-back games.
It looks like we are going to see a bit of a change tonight, as Blair Jones and T.J. Brodie will make their season debuts.
- Glencross - Tanguay - Iginla
- Baertschi - Backlund - Cammalleri
- Horak - Stajan - Stempniak
- Comeau - Jones - Jackman
- Bouwmesster - Giordano
- Wideman - Butler
- Sarich - Brodie
- Kipper
Tonight will be another opportunity for Tanguay to find his rythym at centre. Though they were kept off the scoresheet last night, Iginla did lead the team with six shots. Tanguay is a great puck distributor and much like the coaching staff, I have faith that he will begin to turn it up, creating more chances for Iggy and Glencross. Speaking of the captain, don't be surprise to see Iginla taking some of the draws for Tangs until he gets a little more seasoned in the face-off circle.
Blair Jones replaces Steve Begin on the 4th line tonight. This shouldn't be coming as a major surprise as most (myself included) thought Blair should have been dressed last night. Begin did an alright job in his role of getting in the faces of the Sharks players last night, but tonight it will probably benefit to have Jones in the face-off circle, where he will be facing the likes of Ryan Getzlaf. Getzlaf is a pretty cool cucumber. You're going to have more success beating him in the circle and along the boards than trying to goad him into taking dumb penalties. Even if that's the aim, I like Jones better as the agitator anyways.
The defense will also see a slight juggle. T.J. Brodie is suspected to replace Derek Smith in the third pairing. This makes sense as well. It was going to be Smith or Sarich, and in the game last night, Corey was more on the ball than Derek. One of the reasons the Flames were taken to task in the second period last night, was that they stopped moving their feet. Too many times, too many Sharks were between the Flames defense and Kipper. T. J. Brodie has been playing all year in Abby and his conditioning is a lot more up to snuff than Smith. Last year's combination of Sarich and Brodie is the natural fit to re-unite, and besides, Hartley seems pretty sweet on Sarich already.
Who doesn't love Selanne? No matter what team you cheer for?
- Perry - Getzlaf - Ryan
- Selanne - Bonino - Winnik
- Koivu - Cogliano - Beleskey
- Rakell - Smith-Pelley - Holland
- Allen - Fowler
- Souray - Sbisa
- Lydman - Beauchemin
- Hiller
Selanne is playing his 1,343 career game tonight. He is 42 years old, plus another couple hundred days. In the Ducks season opener he had two goals and two assists for four points; moving him past Dale Hawerchuk into the 18th spot on the NHL all-time scoring list.
Getzlaf's line is always one the Flames have had troubles with. Perry is always a threat around the net, not just to score, but to cause havoc on the goalie. He's been getting away with it for so long, that he's damn near perfected avoiding interference penalties. If you do manage to keep this line out of your zone, well then you have Ryan's quick hands that are always good for throwing the odd puck out of the net, that managed to get past Hiller.
Souray looked impressive as well in the Ducks opener, scoring once on the power-play and assisting on one of Teemu's goals. He has a bomb of a shot for the point and with the likes of Selanne, Perry, Getzlaf and Ryan circling like vultures, the Flames defense is going to have to be on their toes tonight.
First and foremost, the Flames are going to have to keep the Ducks off the power-play. They have too many weapons and if Calgary starts taking dumb or successive penalties, the Ducks PP is going to make them pay for it.
The Flames know what they have to do tonight because it's pretty much the same game plan as yesterday. Shut down the top six and play a smart agressive game.
Game time is 7:00 pm on Sportsnet West.
Still no live chat eh?
I don't have high hopes for this one, I never recalled us doing well on the 2nd half of back to backs, not that we did well on the first game either, but looking at the way the destroyed the Canucks while the nucks were standing still, I don't have much hope for us once the invetiable happens and we decided to start standing around.
Is Bobby Ryan not playing tonight? I notice his name's not in the starting lineup for ANA.
Every. Game. Matters.
Can only be glad we're not at the Honda Civic Center. Flames get killed there (they've lost like 20 in a row).
Going to call it now.
- Stupid penalty in the waning minute of the game (used to be Bourque, I'll say... GlenX or Sarich this time. Slashing.)
- Anaheim goes on PP, Selanne sets up near net. Getzlaf and Fowler on point.
- Point shooters fire it, Selanne tips it in. Or, Selanne knocks it in while Kipper lays on the ground because Bouwmeester hit him, and only him.
Flames lose in first 30 seconds of OT, after being up 3 goals in the first, and being up by a goal with 30 seconds left.
@Vintage Flame
VF - Their top six is really only 4 (Perry, Getzlaf, Ryan, and Selanne). Everyone else is a slug.
Selanne is playing with Winnik and Bonino. Yeah, THOSE guys. Wait, who? Not scurrd.
And I thought Selanne was a winger, not a centre.
Sorry, one more post. Looks like Matt Greene (LAK D-man) is out for the season. Their other D depth is depleted now.
If we were ever going to trade some defense and fleece a team, now is the time. JBO+pick (from Karlsson trade) for something useful.
January 21 2013, 06:47PM
Jones is an AMAZING agitator. Everything about him is annoying, and I love him for it.
Jones in, Begin out.
All seven D skated at pre-game warm-up.
January 21 2013, 07:13PM
Piker is at the game tonight with a press pass BTW folks.
Jones in, Begin out.
All seven D skated at pre-game warm-up.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE scratch Sarich or go with 7 d and scratch Comeau.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE scratch Sarich or go with 7 d and scratch Comeau.
Nope, they just scratched smith and begin.
Smith sits.
January 21 2013, 07:23PM
Backlund's line starting the game.
January 21 2013, 07:29PM
Well, the first shift was good.
Yup, Backlunds line with good pressure, captains line comes on and no D zone coverage leads to goal, no surprise.
Sarich trying to get it out of the zone up the middle, of course it gets intercepted, thankfully Brodie back to bail him out, CAN WE BENCH SARICH!!!
January 21 2013, 07:33PM
Cammalleri is rusty has hell. He can't seem to pick up passes.
January 21 2013, 07:34PM
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE scratch Sarich or go with 7 d and scratch Comeau.
No way Feaster allows his newly signed $2M/year (with a NTC) defenseman to be sat for at least 5 games. What would that say about the GM?
Really nice shifts and sustained pressure by the Backlund and Stempniak lines.
Tanguay's clearly trying to figure out centre on the fly.
No way Feaster allows his newly signed $2M/year (with a NTC) defenseman to be sat for at least 5 games. What would that say about the GM?
Thats he's just as incompetent as the last guy??
January 21 2013, 07:36PM
Haha, except that's exactly what happened to Babchuk last year.
January 21 2013, 07:36PM
Thats he's just as incompetent as the last guy??
January 21 2013, 07:36PM
Chances are 3-2 ANA so far.
January 21 2013, 07:37PM
@Vintage Flame
Or moves up Stempniak.
January 21 2013, 07:39PM
Goddamnit Giordano looks terrible.
January 21 2013, 07:40PM
Well, this isn't encouraging.
Poor Gio is getting eaten alive in the first two games here.
January 21 2013, 07:41PM
It's early in the season, but I watched all the games today, and every single team looks better than the Flames have in the last 5 periods.
Giordano and Bouwmeester could not get Winnick off the puck on that rush.
January 21 2013, 07:42PM
Man this is a woeful showing so far. Can't make or take passes in the neutral zone.
January 21 2013, 07:42PM
@Kent Wilson
Can you imagine if Butler was still Bouwmeester's partner? Gnashing of teeth.
January 21 2013, 07:43PM
@Ryan Pike
That's Winnik's thing. He used to control it all the time against the Flames with COL too.
He's like Frans Nielsen for me. I wish the Flames would get him every year.
January 21 2013, 07:44PM
@Kent Wilson
Looks much like last year, so I am thinking early season rust really isnt the problem. I starting to think its just straight up talent.
Flames are a bit all over the place. The Stempniak/Stajan/Horak line is good but can't finish. Everyone else is flat.
January 21 2013, 07:45PM
Well, I hope this is CGY getting the bad period out of their systems...
Winnick's third off a face-off/screen.
January 21 2013, 07:46PM
Yikes, Kipper might be done folks.
January 21 2013, 07:46PM
Sigh. Daniel Winnik.
Tank for Nate! Tank for Nate!
Three goals on the first seven shots tonight.
January 21 2013, 07:48PM
Chances are 4-2 Ducks and they have 3 goals. Last night the Sharks got 6 in the second and scored on 3 of them.
January 21 2013, 07:48PM
It's only been 4 periods, but Kipper hasn't made a single decent save this season, and has given up several stinky goals.
Reminds me of last year's start
Is this going to be another Boston massacre? Flames look brutal.
Down 3-0 and going on the PK......
lol, about to turn the freaking tv off.
In fairness: What a brutal call
January 21 2013, 07:53PM
Lucky to get out of the PK without another goal against. I was sure that Perry shot was going in.

to train and assist canine units used in direct action
Question 30 of 30
When the Green Berets invaded Afghanistan in 2001, what did they borrow from the Northern Alliance?
gas masks
Sometimes old-school transportation is actually more effective in tough terrain.

|In response to Re: Well Pump on/off, on/off, on/off
: We are on a well system for our house H2O. Recently the people who installed our softener/filtration system added an oxygenator to the input side of our pressure tank & switch to eliminate a "sulfur" smell in the hot water. Now the pump is going on & off every time we run the slightest amount of water. Is it possible too much air is collecting in the holding tank? Is the pressure switch going bad? I don't know if it's coincidence or a result of the oxygenator. Please help if you can. Thanks for the great web site.

I think I can speak for all the members of American Legion Post 42 and its Auxilary and all Emery County Veterans when I say thank you to the citizens of Emery County for coming out and supporting us, and our deceased comrades, by attending our Honors ceremonies at the Ferron, Molen, and Castle Dale cemeteries on Memorial Day.
A nation's true strength is not measured by the size of their military nor by the stature of their leaders but by the spirit of its citizens...Emery County has shown that, in Emery County at least, this nation has never been stronger. Thank you.
P.S. to all veterans and spouses of veterans, the American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary are looking for a few good men and women to join us...contact a Legionaire or an Auxilary member for an application.

There's a downside to social media. I have 29 followers and I can barely keep up. I wouldn't even attempt to keep up with over 2,000. I think most people understand the impossibility of doing so. You'd never be able to find time to sleep, much less do anything else.

My best friend in the world is someone I've met in person once. (she's the christy in erica and christy. I'm erica. ha) So, yes, friends can be made on the internet.
My favorite author story is from when I was in 5th grade (which was, alas, in 1985). I wrote a very heartfelt fangirl letter to the author of my favorite Trixie Belden book (before I knew anything about ghostwriters), telling her how much I loved her and how Trixie changed my life (yes, I was a bit melodramatic then).
"She" sent me a list of books I could buy from the same publisher. I was heartbroken for months.
That's the long way of saying - author blogs are good. :)

We understand! While I read this, STAN by Eminem and SUPERMAN by Five for Fighting were competing for airtime in my head. Fans can sometimes get out of control. You are only human after all. (Even if a super one at that!) I think it's wonderful that you're on the web as much as you are. Love reading your blog posts and status updates on Facebook. Thanks for all you do!
- August 27, 2011 at 4:14 AM
It's okay Kiersten! You have zillions of fans and we understand you can't form relationships with all of us. You're doing a great job -- don't be too hard on yourself. Besides, according to Dunbar's number, you max out somewhere between 100 -- 230 relationships (usually said to be 150). Relax...you'll always have a few people saying you're not doing enough...listen to the majority of us who think you already go above and beyond.

I appreciate the effort put in by all authors to be online, to write blogs, to tweet and FB and let us in on their lives from the other side. I especiall appreciate the effort of authors like yourself who actually reply to tweets, who interact when they have the time between their real lives and, I don't know, WRITING THE BOOKS WE LOVE!

Do you text and drive?
Yes, but as two separate activities.ReplyCancel
I won't even answer my phone unless it's hooked up to my car's bluetooth…and I want to throw shit at the cars of people who do talk on the phone with the handset. Texters get a throat punchReplyCancel
Violet -I did not mean driving and texting at the same time,as I am not an idiot.ReplyCancel
Never. Besides being against the law and now distracting driving being the number 1 cause of accidents overtaking drunk drivers: #1. My cell phone screen is almost impossible to read outdoors. Major glare on the screen and there is no setting to fix this. #2. I need two hands to text and find it takes a lot of concentration and time for me to do out of a car. So I can see why accidents happen.ReplyCancel
Yep. Not on local roads, highways and stop and go.ReplyCancel
I can't lie…ReplyCancel
never, and do not ride with drivers who do. I have a few friends where I will not get into their car. Even after speaking with them, they insist they are careful and can do both because it is only a few seconds of texting. With one ex-friend, she did it several times on a highway. I made her pull over and I got out. We have not spoken since. No loss, as far as I am concerned. I hope only that she doesn't kill someone along with herself.ReplyCancel
I ask people or yell at them to stop. If your text is more important than your life, and everyone's life around you, YOU ARE A FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT.
AND YES, SITTING AT A RED LIGHT COUNTS.ReplyCancel
I won't touch my phone when driving. Really, a phone call or message can wait, it's not that important. The dimwits who do it should lose their driver's license for good. What's going on in their heads anyway? They think they have the right to endanger everyone else's life on the road just so they can type a fucking text message? Assholes.ReplyCancel
Glad to hear how many of you won't text and drive. I won't either, but my dyslexic husband thinks it's okay, even though he takes 5 times longer to read or spell anything than I do. I have drilled it into my kids that nothing can't wait until they get where they're going. Although the fine just went up to $280 here in Toronto, I still see dozens of idiots doing it everyday. I always secretly hope that they drive into something like a pole.ReplyCancel
Yes, and fap and drive; and eat and drive; and booze and drive; and… Cops love me because I pay half of their salary in fines.
Disclaimer: That was a (n awful) joke, I'm not a goddamn kamikaze or that retarded.ReplyCancel
I have fapped while driving a couple times. Always highways and at night, so no one can see. Much quicker and safer than road head, though road head is great.ReplyCancel
No way. I actually pull over, park, turn off the engine and take the keys out of the ignition before I use my phone to text or call.
Somebody told me that it's illegal to do even THAT … that I need to be out of the car. But even I have my limits!ReplyCancel
I have voice recognition so I can just tell my phone what to do while I keep my eyes on the road. But I seriously limit it. Mostly just pull over and do it that way.
Traditional text and drive. No freaking way.I think the fine in CA is $361 (why they make it an odd # I will never know.)ReplyCancel
No, and I've been rear-ended by someone who was.ReplyCancel
However have you noticed that just about every reality show the participants are texting-talking-and taking pictures while driving? Oh, and if a seat belt is worn they push it off their shoulder so it's totally ineffective. I just see them driving around in Mercedes and Range Rovers dismayed that the vehicles aren't equipped with Bluetooth. They are, but it's not used. Horrible examples to society.
I've been nearly run off the road twice by clueless people yakking on their cell phones at 70 mph. Once it was a woman in a huge SUV who just drifted into my lane without signalling. I braked and avoided an accident.
The next time was on I-80 heading to Sacramento, an elderly man in a green Jaguar sedan was about a 1/2 car length ahead of me in the #3 lane, I was in the #2 lane, and all of a sudden he's getting into my lane. I had no choice but to get into the #1 lane immediately. That's the fast/passing lane. If there had been a car coming it would have hit me. So I had to decide in a split second whether I hit someone for sure, or I risked someone else hitting me. Can't say I thought – I just reacted.
When I'd collected myself I sped up and pulled alongside the guy honking. He was still cruising along at 70 mph with his windows rolled up, yakking away, he didn't even hear me honk or notice me. He acted like he was sitting on his living room couch, not going 70 mph and needing to be aware of his surroundings.
Now I don't even bother to honk or react when people do that to me. I try to avoid negative interactions on the freeway because it could escalate and I could find myself at the wrong end of a gun. As my mom used to say, "You can be right – but you might also be DEAD right." Whatever that meant!ReplyCancel
No. I live in the greater Los Angeles area and I am sick and tired of people who will not put their damn phones down. I've nearly been hit countless times, both driving and walking, by idiots with phones in their hands.
Argh, just today there was an idiot in the fast lane, going 60, blocking the whole damn freeway. Of course, when I was finally able to get past him, he was too busy looking down at his cell phone to notice all the people flipping him off.
It is illegal in CA to have a phone in your hand while driving, but someone found a loophole so now the legislature has to fix the law, and word is that they will be increasing the fine for first timers and putting a point on your record for the second offense, woo hoo, increased insurance rates.
A few seconds? No, if you are on the freeway fooling around with your phone, you cross the lengths of 3 football fields while looking down to text. Anything could happen in front of you in that 'few seconds'. Just stop. Remember that this country functioned wonderfully for 2 hundred years without constant and instantaneous communication. NOTHING is so important that it's worth someone else's life.ReplyCancel
Before cell phones even existed, my drivers' ed class taught me that at 55 miles per hour, you travel 80 feet per second. Look away for a second or two, and a lot of distance isn't seen. (I think they were warning us about looking away to eject and turn over our cassette tapes.)
I know it just sounds like I'm getting old, but this younger generation doesn't know how to just BE, without telling everyone about it. They can't do things without filming themselves doing it, they can't be alone without texting someone, they can't drive in silence and JUST DRIVE. It's a good thing cars are safer in general, because people sure aren't!ReplyCancel
Bravo @FS and @WUWT?
I love technology but I have a love-hate relationship with cell phones and wireless devices.
The Peet's Coffee in my neighborhood recently moved and renovated and opened a HUGE new store. Airy, skylights, wonderful seating, a wall of live plants, every detail beautiful. Four times the seating capacity of the old store. Free wifi.
Filled with zombies staring at their screens. Only the old-timers actually go in there and have coffee and TALK TO EACH OTHER. I went in with an elderly friend the other day and we were chatting (not that loudly) and we got a lot of disapproving looks from people working. I mean, it's not a fucking LIBRARY or OFFICE, it's a CAFE.
I've been on hikes with my dog … used to be you'd pass people going the opposite direction on the trail and you'd greet each other, but now half the time they're on their cell phones or texting.
On principle when I'm out socially I don't use any of my devices. Don't answer my phone, don't even check to see who's calling.
Sometimes I'll walk down the street (I live in a trendy neighborhood with a street full of bars and restaurants not far from my home) … I'll see a couple of people walking down the street on a date and more often than not, one or both of them will be on their cell phones having a conversation with someone else.
I'm really glad that my single days were before cell phones were ubiquitous!ReplyCancel
I don't text and drive but I will accept donated organs from those who do. My favorite was coffee in one hand and cigarette in the other, big SUV. Let's just say I dropped back a few lengths….it's the freaking tailgaiting that kills me. Idiots here will sit one carlength behind you going 70, even with an open lane next to them. I want a website where I can post these fuckers' license plate numbers. I can't freaking cure my husband of thus habit and I really hate it.ReplyCancel
i'm not even reading the other comments. Nothing pisses me off more than fucktards who balance their phones on their steering wheels to txt or read txts or whatever they are doing with their phones, causing them to look up and down earnestly as if they are somehow responsibly juggling the two activities even though their eyes are only 50% on the road. As someone who lost a sibling to a car accident, the hottest corner of hell is reserved for those who stupidly risk other's lives with their self-absorbed obsession with txting.ReplyCancel

SLU Administrator Named Fulbright-Nehru International Education Administrators Seminar Awardee
|Paaige Turner, Ph.D.
Paaige Turner, Ph.D., Associate Vice President of International and Academic Affairs at Saint Louis University, has been named a Fulbright-Nehru International Education Administrators Seminar awardee.
Turner, who also is an associate professor in the Department of Communication, will travel to India in March 2013 where she will attend seminars at highly-respected universities and colleges in New Delhi and other major cities. In addition, she will visit research institutions and non-governmental organizations that lend themselves as sites for higher education collaborations and exchanges between the United States and India.
As the administrators respond to questions about U.S. higher education, they also will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with program designs, organization structures, quality assurance procedures and credit and degree expectations in Indian higher education.
Participants will gain first-hand knowledge of a cross-section of Indian institutions and meet with high ranking university administrators and public sector officials who play key roles in the planning and administration of higher education in India. The seminar aims to achieve a balance of topical discussion, knowledge sharing, experiential excursions and exposure to societal/cultural facets of India.
Turner is excited about meeting educators around the world to exchange information and ideas.
"According to the International Association of Universities, an increasing interdependence among nations has made internationalization more of an institutional imperative. As a multinternational, Catholic, Jesuit institution, SLU cannot help but contribute to creating citizens of the world, for the world and by the world. To be selected for this global exchange is a recognition of our unique contributions and is a great honor both personally and for the University," Turner said.
Developing international understanding requires a commitment on the part of Fulbright grantees to establish open communication and long-term cooperative relationships. In that way, Fulbrighters enrich the educational, political, economic, social and cultural lives of countries around the world.

The apartment was very clean upon arrival. Stefano is a very pleasant, polite and nice owner. The house invites in Berlin also often make time to visit. We also want to have occasion to love to go back. Many thanks to you, Stefano. There we enjoyed. We will contact you again. Danny and Petra
Die Wohnung war bei Ankunft sehr sauber gewesen. Stefano ist ein sehr angenehmer , höflich und netter Vermieter. Die Wohnung lädt ein, in Berlin auch öfter mal einen Besuch zu machen. Auch wir wollen bei Gelegenheit sehr gerne wieder kommen. Herzlichen Dank an Dich,Stefano. Es hat uns Spaß gemacht . Wir melden uns wieder . Danny und Petra
The apartment was very nice, not really big but very comfortable! The Metro station is right next to the building and you can get very easily to the center and also at night there are buses that get you to the apartment.. The host was very nice and welcoming and we were really pleased with him and with the apartment (: A very nice place to stay!!!
Super dear and friendly host and the apartment is very well equipped and functional. We had a great stay. Thank you Stefano :-) super kind and friendly host :-) The appartment is very nicely equipped and practical. We had a great stay. Thanks so much, Stefano :-)

Super kind and friendly host :-) The appartment is equipped very nicely and practical. We had a great stay. Thanks so much, Stefano :-)
I had a perfect time at Casa Fuxia. The apartment is so nice and clean. I loved the decor of the apartment with the hearts it made me smile. It was totally quiet the entire time | was there. The convenience of the u-bahn was great as it stops directly across the street from the apartment as does the night bus. I was able to get my grocery shopping on the same block, money from the atm next door, and the sim card for my phone across the street.
Stefano is a great host. He was very nice and really wanted to make sure that I had a good time. He didn't want me to worry about anything and when I thought I had a problem he responded immediately. I have no bad comments for the place.
Stefano war sehr hilfsbereit. Die Wohnung war klein aber für 2 Personen aausreichend komplett ausgestattet. Verkehrsverbindungen waren gut. Parkplatz fürs Auto zu finden war aber schwierig.
Schöne, zentral gelegene Ferienwohnung. U-Bahn-Station und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in unmittelbarer Nähe. Freundliche und zuvorkommende Betreuung durch Stefano. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen.
Grazie Stefano per la tua cortesia e attenzione. L'esperienza a Casa Gold è stata fantastica, Siamo riusciti a ricreare la magia del Natale anche se lontani da casa. L'amore per l'arte ci unisce.
A presto
Ist eine sehr saubere und nette Wohnung, das einzige was bisschen komisch war ist das ein Friedhof gleich hinter den Haus ist.

"I wanted to try EMU's and so I bought this pair online only to immediately return it. It's heavy, but my real issue is what's going on inside. Its removable insole shifts back and forth & it does not encompass the whole foot. When I tried the pair on, my foot surpassed the outline of the insole so, I can feel the whole border at my toes moving. I then removed it and boots were not even comfortable enough to stand in."

"The shoes look great but I was disappointed when I put them on. They were too heavy so when I walk my feet come out. Since they are short, nothing to hold my feet in. They are going back."
