Study: Cut Va. taxes
By Brian Hill, Capital News Service 05/10/12
The rich may be rich and the poor may be poor, but a nonpartisan think tank says there's a way to eliminate state income taxes on the poorest Virginians while providing as much as a 10 percent tax cut to everyone else.
The Thomas Jefferson Institute for Public Policy on Friday unveiled a plan to restructure Virginia's tax system – which the group says could generate substantial economic growth.
The nonprofit group's report recommends slashing certain business taxes and income taxes while expanding the sales tax to currently untaxed services.
"By expanding the current sales tax to most of the industries that do not currently collect it from their end-user individuals, every individual taxpayer can be substantially helped," said Michael Thompson, president of the Thomas Jefferson Institute.
"The competitive business environment in Virginia can be enhanced, and our state and local governments would not lose a penny."
The institute, based in Springfield, advocates a philosophy of "limited government, free enterprise and individual responsibility." Its new economic study, "Tax Restructuring in Virginia: Revenue Neutral Path for Improving Virginia's Economy," was prepared by Chmura Economics and Analytics, a Richmond consulting firm.
"Basically, this is a collaborative team effort," Xiaobing Shuai, Chmura's senior economist, told reporters during a telephone news conference. "What Chmura Economics did in this study is go through probably 100-plus sales tax exemptions, and then try to estimate the value of those sales tax exemptions."
A computer model developed by economists at the Beacon Hill Institute, an independent public policy foundation at Suffolk University in Boston, tested various scenarios for overhauling Virginia's tax system.
Nine economic scenarios were put through the tax model.
"We took Chmura's numbers, which is a static model that doesn't account for the positive economic benefits of the tax restructuring, and put them in our dynamic model and ran the nine scenarios that you see in the study," said Paul Bachman, director of research at Beacon Hill Institute.
"The model resolves for new values, and we get new values for jobs, investment and disposable income. What we are doing, in economic terms, is shifting some of the tax burden away from businesses and households in some scenarios and putting it onto an untaxed service sector."
Virginia currently exempts almost all services, from haircuts to auto repair, from sales taxes.
A major goal of the Thomas Jefferson Institute's plan is to eliminate three taxes that business owners consider onerous and an impediment to creating jobs:
• The Business Professional Occupation Licensing tax, which is levied on gross receipts.
• The Machine and Tool tax, which is levied on equipment a business buys.
• The Merchants Capital tax, which is levied on a business' inventory.
Virginia businesses must pay those taxes regardless of whether they make a profit. Thompson called them "job-destroying taxes," saying they discourage businesses from expanding and hiring more employees.
The Thomas Jefferson Institute initiated its study to see if it was possible to eliminate those taxes and restructure the state's tax system in a revenue-neutral manner that could improve Virginia's economy.
The nine scenarios outlined in the study range from a relatively small impact to a radical overhaul.
The first scenario, for example, would simply eliminate the BPOL, M&T and Merchants Capital taxes and make up the revenue by extending the sales tax to certain currently untaxed services. The study said this would create 900 private-sector jobs.
Other scenarios suggested not only eliminating the three business taxes but also eliminating the lowest income tax bracket and cutting other personal income tax rates. Under these scenarios, the sales tax would be expanded to more services. In some scenarios, the sales tax would be cut, too. (It's currently 4 percent for the state and 1 percent for local government.)
The scenarios did not specify exactly what types of services would be taxed. The study acknowledged that taxing medical bills, health insurance premiums, private school tuition and financial fees probably wouldn't fly.
The more extensive scenarios would create at least 40,000 jobs, the study said.

Ship Weight:0.05 Servings:1 Dosage:1 Packet Flavor:Vanilla Orange GU Energy GU Roctane Ultra Endurance Energy Gel Vanilla Orange 2x Caffeine - 24 Packet(s) Roctane Ultra Endurance Energy Gel: GU to a Higher Power! Roctane comes from years of testing scientifically-proven formulas with thousands of elite athletes training for and competing in the most physically-demanding sports in the world. Roctane's advanced formula amplifies GU's original Energy Gel recipe and adds new ingredients to boost your chances of success. Now it's your turn to fill your tank with premium Roctane and compete like a pro. Roctane Key Highlights: Increased Specific Amino Acids: Provide extra energy & maintain concentration Higher Citrate Levels: Speed conversion of carbs into energy. Added Histidine: Mitigates energy-sapping acid build-up Increased Branched Chain Amino Acids: provide extra energy and maintain concentration New Amino Acid Complex: Reduces muscle damage Gluten Free Kosher Roctane Ingredients & Benefits: Roctane takes athletes' top choice for an energy gel, GU, amplifies the original recipe and then adds new ingredients to boost performance in sustained, high-intensity efforts. Here's how it's done: They start with original GU's superior mix of complex and simple carbohydrates that provide quick and sustained energy, electrolytes for replenishment and caffeine to tap more power and diminish pain. From there we increase the amount of histidine, an essential amino acid, to act as a buffer and slow the energy-sapping lactic acid build-up in muscles. They mix in higher levels of citrates (potassium citrate, sodium citrate, and citric acid) to help speed the conversion of carbohydrates into energy molecules and, like histidine, help mitigate acid build-up. They also add more of the branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, valine and isoleucine to serve as another fuel source, aid in recovery and help maintain mental focus and reduce fatigue by limiting the central nervous system's production of serotonin. Finally, they add a new ingredient, the amino acid complex Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (OKG) which limits the body's tendency to break down muscle protein tissue during extremely hard training and racing days. OKG keeps you going longer and promotes a speedier recovery. Are You a Roctane Athlete? If your idea of training or racing is giving it your all in a multi-hour adventure or you're competing in multiple racing heats during a day, then Roctane is for you. For all other training and racing, the original GU energy gel will keep you fueled like a champ. Roctane: Learn the Science: Roctane is GU sports' high-performance energy gel that utilizes a similar formula to our original GU Energy Gel, but with significantly higher concentrations of amino acids and citrates, plus a new amino acid complex-Ornithine Alpha-Ketaglutarate (OKG). These ingredients mitigate the energy-sapping effects of lactic-acid build-up, produce energy more efficiently, improve recovery through a decrease in exercise-induced muscle damage and maintain mental focus through delayed onset of fatigue signals from the central nervous system. The result is a premium sports nutrition product that allows athletes across all sports to perform at a higher intensity for a longer period of time. Roctane's Amino Acid Blend: Your Muscles Never Had It So Good By increasing the amounts and relative ratios of the following key ingredients found in regular GU and adding OKG, we created Roctane's revolutionary blend. GU know Roctane works. Since 2001, we've used it as a nutritional research tool with in-house and elite athletes. This has allowed us to take new research and ideas and test them in competition and training with athletes performing in the world's greatest races. And after many tweaks and trials, Roctane is now the most potent energy gel in the world. Higher levels of histidine-by a factor of 10 times. When you stress muscles, they fatigue and experience a rather unpleasant side-effect, metabolic acidosis (a.k.a., "the burn"). Both are primarily due to proton (H+) buildup1. In our research, we found studies that demonstrate how various naturally occurring proteins packed with histidine have buffered the muscles' acid build-up2. That's because the histidine residues contained within these proteins are able to neutralize those nasty H+ ions and reduce the effects of acidosis. By adding more histidine, we're encouraging the body to produce more of these buffering proteins and keep muscles pumping harder for longer. Higher levels of citrates (potassium citrate, sodium citrate and citric acid)-by a factor of up to 3 times. During any training or competition, the body requires energy to keep moving. Central to the production of energy is the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle), which is responsible for the breakdown of amino acids, glucose and fatty acids to produce ATP3 (the actual energy molecule that fuels your muscles). Roctane's citrate blend contributes to the citric acid cycle and promotes greater efficiency in the production of ATP. The faster you can produce ATP, the sooner your muscles can utilize the energy. Higher levels of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs-leucine, valine and isoleucine)-by a factor of 3 times. During physical exertion, BCAAs become a major fuel source, in addition to to promoting protein synthesis-the conversion of protein into fuel-as well as setting the table for rapid glucose biosynthesis3,4. Our BCAAs also thwart muscle catabolism, a distressing natural situation where the body starts breaking down its own muscle to use as fuel. In addition, research suggests that BCAA supplementation may delay the onset of central fatigue by blocking the transport of tryptophan into the brain, thus limiting the production of serotonin5. This key neurotransmitter has been linked to depression of the central nervous system function which leads to feelings of sleepiness and fatigue6. By blocking this effect, Roctane helps you stay more alert and focused and on top of your game. Roctane contains a new amino acid complex, Ornithine Alpha-Ketaglutarate (OKG), formulated to further the BCAAs ability to block the body's destructive catabolic process during extreme physical exertion or muscle trauma. Where you may notice the positive effect of OKG is during recovery, as it goes to work blocking the catabolic effects of the various hormones that control this process. Amino acids also play an important role in the Krebs cycle alongside the citrates listed above7. While our original GU contains each of these key citrates and amino acids (aside from OKG), the increased percentages found in Roctane and the ensuing enhanced level and efficiency of these benefits-plus OKG-are what sets Roctane apart as the ultimate performance gel for serious athletes. Electrolytes: Necessary for Optimum Hydration and Muscle Function There are two major electrolytes in the body: sodium and potassium, both of which are lost through sweat. Compared to original GU, Roctane packs almost 3 times more sodium and contains approximately 20 more mg of potassium. Why? The greater the intensity of your workout or race, the more you're going to sweat. By replacing the extra amount of lost electrolytes with Roctane, you can rehydrate more effectively and retain more fluid. In combination, the carbohydrates (below) and electrolytes ramp up the body's ability to absorb fluid into the blood stream. Maltodextrin & Glucose: GU's Carbohydrate Formula for Success Like GU, Roctane provides athletes with a shot of 100 calories in the form of an approximately 4:1 ratio of maltodextrin to fructose (final ratio depends upon flavor). Why maltodextrin? It's a complex carbohydrate, and studies have shown that complex carbs are actually digested faster than simple sugars like table sugar and honey. This matters because the quicker your body can tap these carbs, the less blood is diverted away from your muscles to digest those carbs. Fructose is the principle sugar in fruit, and we use it because your stomach processes it faster than maltodextrin, yet it doesn't produce the sugar high like you experience with simple sugars such as sucrose or corn syrup. Fructose also enhances flavor-it's what makes you crave Roctane. We limit the amount of fructose used so it doesn't taste too sweet. Studies show that we become highly sensitive to taste after extensive exercise. As a result, what tasted sweet at the beginning of exercise will, two-plus hours later, taste overly sweet and become unpalatable. In other words, you won't eat it. Two C's (Calcium and Caffeine) for High Performance We put calcium into each packet of Roctane because you lose calcium during exercise, and your body needs it to thrive. In addition to helping build up your bone density, calcium plays a crucial role in the Krebs cycle of converting carbohydrates into energy molecules that fuel your muscles. Research has also shown that there may be a link between muscle fatigue and calcium loss, so adding it back to your body is a good thing. Roctane's 35mg of caffeine is roughly equivalent to a can of Coke. It acts as a stimulant, but it also serves another purpose: helping the body produce more power and reducing its perception of pain. There's even evidence that caffeine sparks the body to metabolize fat during exercise which provides the body with another fuel source. 35 mg is the optimum level of caffeine to keep you zipping along without getting a case of the jitters. Gel Ingredient Comparison Lining up every imaginable energy gel and scrutinizing the nutritional fine print isn't unheard of for serious endurance athletes. But here at GU, our job is to help you focus on your workouts, not ruin your eyesight. The table below provides a quick comparison of the critical components of the energy gels most readily available at retail. Frequently Asked Questions When should I use Roctane? Roctane is specifically formulated for your most intense training and racing. If you face a hard, multi-hour training session or race (think marathons, ultra-marathons, Iron-distance triathlons, 100-plus-mile bike rides and adventure races), take one-to-two Roctane gels 15 minutes prior to the start, followed by an additional packet every 30-45 minutes along the way. If you compete in short bursts of all-out efforts (think track meets or crew regattas) then go with a packet of Roctane 45 and 15 minutes before, as well as immediately after, your event. Why is it used just like GU's original energy gel? Fundamentally, Roctane is GU, just with more of the stuff that makes original GU so effective (histidine, branched chain amino acids, citrates) plus OKG, an added amino acid complex that lessens damage to muscle tissue during hard training or racing and speeds recovery. You can use GU and Roctane somewhat interchangeably, but Roctane is specifically formulated for your most intense training and racing. The higher concentrations of these key ingredients give you more of what your body needs when you need it most. How much fluid should I drink with Roctane? Same as you always should: A couple of big gulps of fluid with Roctane and around 20 to 30 ounces of fluid for each hour of exercise (Don't drink it all at once, please. Pace yourself.). Should I use Roctane differently on race-day? No, make sure to pre-load your body with a packet or two of Roctane and chase with water approximately 45 minutes and 15 minutes before the start. What happens if I switch to Roctane exclusively for my sports nutrition needs? If you win a lot because of it, we sponsor you. Seriously though, you may enjoy your best performance ever. Roctane has everything you need to keep on running all day and all night. It was, after all, designed for competitors of 100-mile ultra marathons. However, your stomach or your taste buds might want you to switch things up a bit with different flavors. That's why Roctane is a perfect complement to an energy program that includes all varieties of GU, as well as Electrolyte Brew for rehydration. What is OKG? Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate is the scientific name of this amino acid complex, and it essentially blunts the catabolic process, a.k.a. the body breaking down muscle in response to extreme physical exertion and the corresponding muscle trauma. Simply put, OKG enhances recovery by protecting your muscle tissue from the damage inherent in extreme athletic efforts. Why does Roctane have the same amount of calories as original GU? You find 100 calories of carbohydrates in both Roctane and GU because there's no reason to add more. The stomach can only absorb so many calories at a time during exercise without disrupting the oxygenated blood flowing to your hard-working muscles. Add too many more calories and the body redirects blood from your muscles to the intestines to digest those calories. And you slow down. Why doesn't Roctane contain the antioxidant vitamins in original GU? Roctane does not contain the vitamin C or vitamin E that is in GU in order to make room for the additional volume of ingredients in Roctane. Since it is fairly easy to obtain your daily recommended intake of vitamins C and E by ingesting one or more packets of original GU, we removed them in favor of accommodating the added OKG and other increased concentrations of ingredients which are beneficial on those really hard days. If you are concerned about getting enough antioxidants, we suggest including a packet of original GU, in addition to Roctane, as part of of your nutrition program during intense training and racing. Why does Roctane cost more than the original GU? Roctane costs more because there are up to 10 times the amount of high-performance ingredients in each packet. Consider this analogy: Original GU is like premium unleaded—it'll power the most sophisticated engines on the planet with no problem. Roctane is our high-octane, racing-grade unleaded. It burns hotter and stronger and will keep an engine running near red-line all day long. Is Roctane Kosher? GU Energy Gel, Roctane, GU Electrolyte Brew, and GU Recovery Brew are all certified Kosher. Chomps are not. The GU Story From 1991 until today, athletes the world over have come to the same conclusion: GU works. Their Berkeley-based sports nutrition company started with their original GU Energy Gel, a revolutionary and more effective method to keep athletes fueled during exercise. Since then, GU has continued to improve the recipe, incorporating the latest scientific research into its products. In 2001, GU Electrolyte Brew (formerly Gu2o) was launched as the perfect hydration companion to GU Energy Gel. 2008 saw the introduction of Roctane Ultra Endurance Energy Gel, followed by Chomps Energy Chews and GU Recovery Brew in 2009. Every product is formulated to further GU's mission: to help athletes go faster and longer than ever before. The Gu Factory Athletes everywhere appreciate the taste, convenience and performance enhancing benefits of GU Energy Gel and Roctane Ultra Endurance Energy Gel. But few give much thought to how or where these gels are produced and packaged. You might be interested to learn a bit about the GU factory and the exceptional care that goes into every packet they create. As they mix each batch of GU, the formula for every flavor is double checked against the super-secret master recipe. Their Director of R&D sources only the highest quality ingredients and happily rejects raw materials if they are off spec. He also oversees the production process from soup to nuts, ensuring precision in the mixing process. Texture, taste, pH? all good? He's also the in-house go-to guy for their never ending sports nutrition questions – they make sure he puts his degree to good use! When all ingredients have been accurately measured, the batches are carefully blended only at the proper speed and temperature to ensure repeatable high quality and consistency. The production team is comprised of several long-time employees; collectively they boast more than 50 years experience. Together their team has produced tens of millions of packets of GU! Talk about athletic kilowatts. As the gatekeepers of day-to-day manufacturing, anything short of perfection just won't pass muster. GU quality control continues when the gel is ready for packaging. Customized machinery, used solely for GU and Roctane Energy Gels, fills each packet with a precise amount of gel - Laverne & Shirley meet the modern age! There's nothing quite like a stroll through the manufacturing building when Chocolate Outrage is running, the intoxicating aroma of pure Belgian chocolate wafting through the air. Time it just right and you can sample a warm packet fresh off the line, a decadent and lipsmacking treat. It'll send you running for some vanilla ice cream to complement the Outrageousness. I digress…. Then, the boxes are folded, glued and packed by their fully automated line. Every box is certain to have the proper number of packets as each is weighed before being sealed and packed for its final destination, your gear bag and ultimately, your mouth. GU's state-of-the-art production line and exacting quality control process are valuable assets, but what do they mean to you, the athlete? You can trust that the premium gel you rely on undergoes the most rigorous quality checks in the sports nutrition industry. They watch over every batch of gel they produce and maintain a production facility that is free from the risk of contamination by foreign substances. Most other gel manufacturers outsource production to third party contract manufacturers where who-knows-what was produced in the previous batch. This can be a serious concern in a supplement business that is lightly regulated and too often not completely above board. GU makes sure you can focus on training and reaching your goals in upcoming races. Breathe easy and leave your gels in the hands of the energy food experts at GU. Just suck down a packet of your favorite flavor and go (big)!

Tell the Obama Campaign: Stop your Cynical Pro-Coal Ad
President Barack Obama should have the courage to tell us the difficult truth: if we want to fight climate change, we have to stop burning dirty coal. That's why it's so troubling to see the Obama campaign running ads in swing states promoting coal. We need President Obama to overturn a decision by his campaign to run a TV ad in Ohio and Virginia that criticizes Mitt Romney for saying — in 2003 — the pollution from coal plants kills people. See President Obama's "Not One Of Us" pro-coal ad below, then sign our petition asking him to pull the ad.

Wolves Aren't Scared of Monsters, Stay on a Roll
Dimitri Filipovic
December 15 2012 08:58PM
Throwing those teddy bears was fun. But now someone has to pick them up.
I think it would be fair to say that the most recent Chicago Wolves game recap I did prior to this one - which was back on December 7th, in case you missed it - marked rock bottom for the Canucks' AHL affiliate. They had just submitted a dismal effort on their home ice, falling to 9-9-3 on the year.
I noted that Scott Arniel had to have been feeling the pressure at that point. He couldn't afford to see his team put forth too many more performances in the vein of the one against Grand Rapids. What followed was a players-only meeting prior to the tilt against Rockford, and two impressive wins where the Wolves put their cojones on display. Apparently they had seen enough of the lackluster play, too.
They moved their win streak to three games on Saturday night, with a hard-fought victory against a game Lake Erie squad.
Read Past the Jump for Notes on the Game.
It took Lake Erie just 1:26 to get on the board in this one. There wasn't too much that goaltender Matt Climie could have done to stop it from happening, either. Mark Olver showed nice patience, waiting for Climie to fall before putting it past him. Who knows, maybe Olver got a wake-up call after David Booth dismantled him in a fight last season?
Arniel kept the same top two lines from last night; Haydar-Schroeder-Sweatt and Kassian-Ebbett-Sterling. The Kassian line rewarded him with two goals on the night, including one on the power play (which was 28th in the AHL coming into the night). Kassian showed a combination of great awareness and soft hands, as he threaded the needle on a no-look pass to a trailing Ebbett, whose shot on net allowed Sterling to bang it home.
As for Schroeder, he didn't have a particularly impressive game, but he did ring iron on a wicked wrist shot from the circle in the first period. It was very reminiscent of another American center that is affiliated with the Vancouver Canucks.
Chris Tanev has had better nights, and by no fault of his own. The Monsters seemed to target him all night, as nearly every big hit they threw was at his expense. However, he handled it well and didn't seem to let it faze him. He also avoided danger in the second period, as he went awkwardly into the boards before banging his head. That could have been real bad.
After the Wolves took a 3-1 lead, they seemed content to play the game out without any sort of drama. They gave one of the goals back up before the 2nd period was over, but managed to hold on till the final buzzer. I'm sure that Scott Arniel was a big fan of how the 3rd period played out. It was rather uneventful, which is what you like to see as you're trying to hold onto a lead on the road as the time ticks away. In fact, there were very few (if any, really) quality opportunities present for the Wolves to the game in the final frame.
Next up for the Wolves is a home date against the Abbotsford Heat on Tuesday night. They'll be looking to match the four-game winning streak that they rattled off to start the year.
Fun with Numbers:
7: Is the number of consecutive starts that Matt Climie has had now, with Eddie Lack injured. This is interesting for two reasons. First off, back on November 27th Thomas Drance wrote an article about how Joe Cannata had been called up to the Wolves, which as we've come to learn, couldn't have been more irrelevant. And that's because Climie has been very solid. That fact made me look up his career stats. Did you know that he has 5 career NHL starts under his belt (for the Coyotes and Stars)?
10: Was the length of the delay, in minutes, just 90 seconds into the game. After Olver's goal, the fans in attendance all tossed teddy bears onto the ice, making the ice crew's life miserable.
78: Coming into this game, the Wolves held claim to the worst penalty kill in the AHL, killing them off at a grotesque 78%. They managed to avoid giving one up in this game, which is quite the feat for them. They'll need to shore up the special teams play, at least a little bit, if they hope to do anything for the remainder of the season.
4,589: Is the number of Monster-related puns the Lake Erie play-by-play guy tried to incorporate into the game tonight. I'm not sure why I was watching the game on that feed, but hey, there's something to be said about that sort of blatantly hilarious homerism.

SCHOPP: Why Briere Still Matters
by Mike Schopp
posted Apr 23 2012 10:00AM
Reading my Twitter mentions -- short notes written to me by listeners, for the uninformed -- is best done with oven mitts on. There are good and clever comments there but much of it is scorched Earth. Sometimes I predict the worst and don't bother looking.
Yesterday though, as Daniel Briere passed the Buffalo Sabres franchise in playoff goals scored since Briere's infamous departure in the summer of 2007 and helped lead Philadelphia to a seventh playoff series win in that time, one phrase I did see shined through to me.
I'm feeling that today.
The worst feeling out there about our sports teams over the last 10 years or so is that being less than best is good enough for them. Years of the Sabres battling against big-nation teams that outspent them 3-to-1 and talking about educating fans. The Bills keeping Dick Jauron, a poster child for mediocrity, year after year despite patently mediocre results. The Sabres caressing Ales Kotalik and Jochen Hecht as Daniel Briere and Chris Drury got dressed and fled the scene. Mega-wealthy John Rigas -- before the prison term -- and Tom Golisano putting profits over playoffs. The Bills hiring Marv Levy as general manager because they didn't think you knew what championship fever felt like anymore, or because they were totally incompetent, or both.
Now here we are, hoping things are different. Terry Pegula jumped in and bled money. We got Robyn Regehr on a plane. We gave Christian Ehrhoff 10 years. We asked Ville Leino what he wanted and then presumably, just for fun, doubled it. Heck, even the Bills followed suit with Mario Williams and now we have reason to believe times have changed. That our teams have their eyes on the prize.
I think.
Briere is holding me back. With each goal he scores Briere bitterly reminds us of how close to the Cup the Sabres once were. That upward thrust of his right arm after every goal can feel like he's giving us a certain obscene gesture. They're reminders of one of the grossest miscalculations ever to befall a sports team.
And until Darcy Regier and Lindy Ruff are replaced, the Sabres make at least a deep playoff run or Briere retires, it's still relevant. Whether you're tired of hearing about it is not a gauge.
It's not just Regier's bad call on Briere's value that comes back up every spring. It's Ruff too. I'm watching Philadelphia win a series despite allowing 4.33 goals per game, and my thoughts are drifting to the dozen or so times Paul Hamilton told us of Ruff and Briere butting heads about Danny's reliability in his own zone.
It's all well and good to talk about winning the Stanley Cup as your sole reason for existence. But you also have to act like it. I believe in Pegula and think the Sabres will come to do that. But it frankly hasn't happened yet. If it had, the Sabres would probably have a new general manager and definitely have a new coach.
It's cliche, but the Sabres and Bills just haven't wanted it bad enough. They both for too many years have done too many things that are not convincing of a championship mentality. You don't short-change a contending team by depriving it of Michael Peca for a full season. You don't condescend to your fans by hiring an 80-year-old GM that doesn't watch your games or, arguably worse, a marketing man. And quintessentially, you don't let the co-captains and top scorers of a two-time Cup-contending team get away.
I know it was almost five years ago, thanks. It still matters. Briere should still be a Sabre. Some of the Flyers' success should be ours to enjoy, not curl away from. You know, while I'm here speaking of scorched Earth.
#mediocrityliveshere? Yes it does.

I have added brewing suggestions from ChineseTeaCulture! See quote below. In judging the amount of leaf, I would also suggest at least 1 gram per ounce water. Each sample contains 8 grams. I have been using about 4 grams (half your sample) per 3-4 ounces water, perfect for a typical gaiwan. This might be light for some palates, feel free to use more leaf or less water.
Then follow the guidelines below from IPT aka Chinese TeaCulture.
I would also suggest following the links provided below for interesting information as well as product information on these teas.
I am certain IPT would be happy to answer any specific questions.
Tie Guanyin is ideal for brewing in either a Gaiwan or Teapot. There are several steps in brewing gongfu style tea. There are variants to the gongfu tea ceremony, this is the basic type.
Step1 Heating the tea set:
Fill your Teapot or Gaiwan hot water and then pour the hot water into the serving pitcher and teacups. This is done to clean and heat the tea ware to prevent it from cooling off the tea too quickly, which will affect the aroma of the Tie Guanyin Tea liquor.
Step2 Cleaning the leaves:
Fill your Gaiwan or Teapot 1/3 to ¼ of tea leaves. Add 200 degree Fahrenheit water. Wait 20-30 seconds and pout the first brew into the serving pitcher and then the teacups. The first brew is not for drinking, but to clean the dust off the leaves and to allow the leaves to start to unfurl.
Step3 Second brew:
For the second brew, pour the water from a higher elevation to allow the leaves to swirl in the water. Brew the tea for 1 to 2 minutes depending on your taste. If your tea seems a bit bitter, you have either added too many tea leaves or brewed it for too long. Feel free to adjust the leaf amount and brewing time to suit your tastes.
Step4 Subsequent Brewings:
For each subsequent brewing, let the tea brew a little longer each time.
The Five Senses and Tieguanyin Tea
When drinking Tieguanyin Tea, your five senses should be brought into play to get the most out of your tea.
1. Sight
High quality Tieguanyin has heavy, tightly curled leaves of consistant color. The liquid is golden in color and the leaves, after being brewed are are thick and bright.
2. Sound
During processing, Tieguanyin Tea is kneeded and then put into cloth bags which are twisted very tightly to give the tea its shape and weight. When dropped into a teapot, good leaves make a ringing sound, whereas poorer quality leaves make more of a thud.
3. Smell
The dried leaves should have a sweet orchid flower aroma and the brewed tea should have a similar flavor with a hint of chestnut. This is the main difference between this and other Oolong Teas.
4. Taste
The flavor of the tea should swirl around the mouth and tongue. This tea should not be gulped, but sipped and savored. Swirl the tea around your mouth with your tongue to fully enjoy the tea's delicate flavor.
5. Feel
The teas leaves should feel heavy and solid.

The Vendor is TeaChat member IPT, owner and operator of Chinese Tea Culture http://www.chinese-tea-culture.com/, an online vendor of tea located in China where IPT also has a TeaRoom.

Have you ever donated blood?
Here is some information from our UK Health Specialist that may encourage you to donate. The American Red Cross, the largest blood collection organization in the United States works across the nation to collect blood to help others in need. Every year about 9.2 million people donate blood. It is estimated that about 20 percent of those volunteers are donating for the first time.
During the five weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year's, Americans produce an extra one million tons of trash per week compared to any other time of the year.
The Smith-Lever Act of 1914 provided for the Cooperative Extension Service across the United States. While some counties developed their County Extension Service earlier, Henry County's first County Extension Agent was hired in 1925.

Women enter Boston Marathon
If you peered hard enough, the starting mob of the 1972 Boston Marathon looked different. Sprinkled among the 1,081 men were nine women, the first to officially enter in the event. Technically, though, they weren't the first to participate. In 1966, Roberta Gibb ran, but without an official race number. The next year, Katherine Switzer did, too, in disguise; unamused race officials tried, unsuccessfully, to remove her from the course. For the record, Nina Kuscik (pictured, on the right) was the first winner of the women's division.
Congress passes Title IX
Growing the GameThere are 817,073 girls participating in high school sports in the U.S.
"No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance." When President Richard Nixon signed Title IX of the Education Amendments on June 23, about 31,000 women played college sports; spending on athletic scholarships for them was less than $100,000, and the average number of women's teams per school was 2.1. Sports were never the target of the law, but its reach would have a dramatic impact going forward.
Immaculata basketball births a dynasty
Torch TrackerArchery is added to
the Olympics.
Before Texas and Tennessee and UConn, there was Immaculata College. The Mighty Macs of Pennsylvania won three straight national AIAW basketball titles from 1972-74. Title No. 1, a 52-48 win over West Chester State, was the first official women's championship. Immaculata's center, Theresa Shank Grentz, later coached the 1992 U.S. women to an Olympic bronze medal. The Macs' other star, Marianne Crawford Stanley, later coached Old Dominion to its own championship hat trick. And Immactulata head coach Cathy Rush was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2008. Her career record was 149-15.
Billie Jean King is Sportswoman of the Year
In 1972, Sports Illustrated's Sportsman of the Year, John Wooden, only got half the cover. The other half belonged to Billie Jean King, the first Sportswoman of the Year. King won three Grand Slams -- Wimbledon and the French and U.S. Opens -- to earn the honor. Seven times since King's star turn, women have received SI's year-end nod: 1976 (Chris Evert), 1983 (Mary Decker), 1984 (Mary Lou Retton), 1987 (Judi Brown King and Patty Sheehan), 1994 (Bonnie Blair), 1999 (U.S. women's soccer team) and 2011 (Pat Summitt).
Editor's note: When we set out to build a timeline of the past 40 years of women's sports -- a daunting task, for sure -- we asked ourselves two questions: What mattered most? and Who must be remembered? In the pages that follow, you'll see our answers, dozens upon dozens of people and events, not just from here in the U.S., but from around the world. From Lisa Leslie to Little Leaguers, lady refs to lady wrestlers, our team of researchers hunted down firsts, records and landmark events since Title IX's inception. The result is a collection of moments and milestones that ultimately blend into a clear and colorful portrait of progress.
Timeline contributors: Susan Banning, Amy Brachmann, Dale Brauner, Jason Catania, Luke Cyphers, Kate Fagan, Yang-Yi Goh, Jeff Gold, Hallie Grossman, Lizzie Haldane, Kali Hodges, Hillary London, Abigail Lorge, Ross Marrinson, Gueorgui Milkov, Scott T.

Motor Emits Low Hum
By CaliGrl

About Me Beginner

Comments about Emerson CF710WW, Pro Series II Appliance White 42" Ceiling Fan with Light:
We pruchased this fan because of it's smaller blade span (to accommodate opening cabinet doors in a small kitchen). Had a professional electrician install it. Looks fine and seems to move a lot of air for the size. Wanted to let ya'll out there know that the motor emits a low hum, regardless of the fan speed. We're certain the hum is from the motor, not from the movement of the blades. Probably won't be an issue in a noisy kitchen but could be in a quiet study or bedroom.

Writing as Compassion
William Maxwell treats his personal material as if it were history. It is one part memory, one part research and one part hearsay but one hundred percent compassion. Compassion in my mind is an admixture of feeling and sustained attention with regard to others. Compassion is the absence of cruelty. Compassion is steady and relaxed—allowing patience where we may not have any for ourselves. Compassion is acceptance of what you didn't realize or can't understand. Compassion is not attainable without process—going through the various methods of drafting. Each one provides you with another perspective, another point of focus. Each method provides more ingredients to the approach that helps the content to stand on its own so that the writer can leave it behind them.
—Nancy Beckett
Most Wednesday nights I'm at the kitchen table staring into my laptop screen at a living room full of women. It's my writing group, which is presided over by Nancy Beckett, an incredible playwright and writing teacher in Chicago. My admiration for her insight, depth, and crazy, mordant Irish wit never evaporates.
Everyone else assembles in her apartment for our three-hour sessions; I Skype in from St. Paul.
This week we read an excerpt from the great editor and writer William Maxwell's creative nonfiction, and, as is the drill each week, Nancy gave us her deeply insightful lesson, a portion of which I cite above.
What I love about this work is that it goes past how to string sentences together, though there is that. It reminds me why I write. As Nancy would say, "People write because they can't help themselves." I write in order to know. I write in order to be changed.

Compare great Rover Security, Locking and Keys prices in Manchester with Who Can Fix My Car.
Great garage, really happy with the service!
Great lad collected my car in and delivered and great price too A++++
Good service.I recommend!
Very friendly and efficient service. Saved me a shed load of cash by not doing unnecessary work. Would certainly use again
Saj is a great guy. Got on very well with him. Took the car to him and left it there, he diagnosed and fixed the issue on the same day. No fuss. Great guy. I will definitely recommend his garage to anyone looking for a trustworthy mechanic.
Arranged for CB Autos to attend my property to do a diagnostics check. Took time off work and waited in all morning and never showed up. No phone calls or communication, terrible customer service!! Don't waste your time with this site!!!
No problems initially - great communication to arrange a diagnostic, turned up on time and spent an hour checking electrics and locks. However, he then didn't call the following day to provide a quotation to do the work as arranged, and no response to my text. If you don't want to do the job, just say so - it prevents a delay in getting the job done and wasted money for a diagnostic that I'll have to pay again to someone who will actually finish the work! Maybe useful if you just want the diagnostic to then do the job yourself but for the vast majority of us, don't bother.
Wasn't open when arrived and didn't contact me, disappointed and wasted journey
Carl was brilliant, cost was as per the quote and car is running well. Would recommend
Outstanding service from Carl at CB Auto. What a great experience, not having the car break down - that was stressful - but the knowledgeable and swift help from CB Auto. Carl knew instantly which part had failed just from listening to the engine. I'm an instant fan. Carl and CB Auto will be taking care of my vehicles in future.
Came out same day to fix it, very friendly professional service. Cannot recommend enough. Will definitely use him again.
Turned up early, no messing job done. Very thankful as we have had a lot of time wasters regarding this job so thank you very much Matt. Highly recc
Price agreed on-line prior to work. Very happy with the work (2 front springs fitted). Took Matt a couple of hours to do the job outside my house, so it saved the hassle of having the car towed to a garage and work carried out there. I never had any competitor quotes, as I felt the quote was very reasonable. Would use again and recommend to others. Car even feels better to drive! Thanks Matt.
Great service. Car now running a lot better.
Mark was friendly and professional - very knowledgeable - job done very soon after posting add - would highly recommend to anyone needing a mobile mechanic - why wouldn't you want your car fixing outside your own home??! A***********
friendly and fast service
Great service and very nice person.
Reg was helpful in regards to communication about where the car was upto and gave good advice on the car once the job was completed.
2 stars as I opened the bonnet the next day by chance to find the mechanic s cordless phone near the engine. How did it get there? This was a bit negligent and dangerous in my opinion. Apart from that incident, the cigar lighter was fixed properly.
Reg was very helpful, and tried a few times to see if the lights would go off, but to no avail.He gave us a few options as to what to do next. He was the nearest to us, and the cheapest, and yes, i would recommend him to others
My engine sometimes started, sometimes didn't. A & A came the same morning and carried-out diagnostics. The problem wasn't immediately apparent but he persisted and found that the wire from my battery to my starter motor was in the process of breaking. He soldered a new section of wire into place on my drive (not easy without my van ramped-up) and the problem has not recurred,
Job done, thanks!
Spot on, would definitely recommend.
Has not cured the problem. Waste of payment. Has been parked up. As it easy still doing the same as before they worked on it. Dissapointed
After initial speedy response to diagnose the fault they couldn't be bothered doing the job I won't be using this site again go to your local garage this site is full of cowboys
Excellent. Fast and friendly, price was as quoted and the best around. They also sourced me some tyres at a better price than I was going to pay. Even washed my car!
Head gasket gone, Two injectors broke, glow plug broke stuck in head. Xmas time, head needed skimming and pressure checked he still got it done on time and polished the car, and brought it back to Wales for me. Matt cheers bud goes like s+it off shovel.
decided to cancel after being laughed at for sending a message to confirm date and time for my brake bads to be fixed. sounded like a joke of a company so not worth the risk
Highly recommend Bolton Timing Chains, Full service carried out and you can really tell the difference after the service. Thank you.
Absolutely spot on, very friendly and best price by a mile. Definitely recommend and will be my garage of choice from now on

All season's wedge
"I will have to say this is my best purchase this summer, they are very comfortable, seems like you are wearing flats because you don't even feel like you are wearing heels. I actually wore this to school and i got a lot of compliments until someone asked me where i got them from and for some reason i said " DSW it's where you get those shoes". So far i have this and a different kind of the sneaker wedge and i hope to buy more of these designs in the future. Like i said you can wear them all year round."

"These shoes are great -- very bulky though. They wear kind of like "diet ski boots." I love them though and expected that going in. Surprisingly comfortable and all my male friends commented on how cool they are. Beautiful and edgy all at once!"
