State Mining Bill Push Begins with Public Hearing
Backers and opponents of mining legislation filled a more than 100-seat hearing room and two overflow rooms in the Capitol to be heard on the prospect of a mine in the state.
Last March, one Republican lawmaker held up passage of a GOP-backed bill that would have paved the way for construction of an iron ore mine in northern Wisconsin.
With a majority in the state Assembly and Senate this legislative session, GOP lawmakers labeled mining legislation a top priority and began their push with an all-day public hearing Wednesday.
Backers and opponents of the mining legislation filled a more than 100-seat hearing room in the Capitol and two overflow rooms to be heard on the prospect of a mine in the state, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Those backing the legislation say it would bring jobs to a local economy that currently doesn't offer many opportunities, while the opposing faction says the bill would weaken environmental protections, in particular for wetlands, groundwater and surface water, the newspaper writes.
And, while GOP lawmakers are still pushing mining regulation reform — introducing essentially the same bill last week — state Sen. Tim Cullen, a Democrat from Janesville, countered Tuesday with his own piece of legislation. Cullen says the bill would "uphold Wisconsin's environmental requirements while also providing certainty to the mining industry."
"Democrats and Republicans alike heard the same recommendations from mining experts that I did, and I stand by this bill as a realistic solution to the mining industry's request for certainty," Cullen said in a statement Tuesday.
Democratic Leader Chris Larson hailed the bill as an important first step toward bipartisanship in the Senate. Republican lawmakers told reporters on Wednesday they would meet with the sponsors of the alternative bill and perhaps pull from it for the original legislation, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Democrats are calling for more hearings, especially in the northern portion of the state, but Republicans say Wednesday's will be the only one. Democrats also took issue with time limits imposed on questioning.

Drill holes.
Typical uninformed enviro idiot that gets the media's attention ►weaken environmental protections, in particular for wetlands, groundwater and surface water◄
We first need deadlines on the environmental studies. Like a time table, currently we have an unlimited timetable, thus no mining in this state.
I guarantee you the enviro weenie that made that comment enjoys products who's resources were mined out of the earth on a daily basis.
Let's get to work, we need the thousands of jobs and the economy.

Your crude comments are inciteful. It spurs those that worry about the well-being of this tiny planet we all live on to greater action to preserve what is left. You talk like you are a mining nut living on Mars and have no interest in Earth.
You should run for a public office and make that "thousands of jobs" promise, so we can check you out and your "facts" publicly and track your hollow promises with the Steve-o-Meter.
You are trying to "catfish" gullible, low-information rubes into believing your malarky about plenty of wonderful, high paying mining-related jobs just waiting for the legislation, being held up by your "uninformed enviro weenie idiots".

Tiny planet ??? ... Preserve what is left ??? Talk about gullible low-information rubes ... you, sir, should stop accepting every liberal rant and do some homework.
There are abundant resources, and industry has done a marvelous job of incorporating respectful profitable operation with community building. The obvious benefit to inviting industry to our state is the opportunity for utilizing our resources, rather than buying from others - creating job opportunities, instead of handing out unemployment checks - establishing successful private industry, instead of demanding someone else pay our bills.
I'm sure you can find a examples that weren't appropriately implemented, but the vast majority of industry has improved, and continues to be the life blood of the future.
The stonewalling that Steve has consistently pointed out is a problem that needs to be arrested. The fact that we have government bodies that can simply "table", or endlessly delay resolution (see the US Senate as the worst offenders) for future opportunity is a path to austerity.

It is common knowledge that the work ethic of the northern Wisconsin Native American male has declined through the decades. Bad attitudes, alcohol and drug abuse contribute to a bad work ethic and ultimately subpar productivity. I hope when the mine finally gets approval the owners don't hire any Native Americans from the area. These people fought against the mine they should not get a job there when it's built. The Mexicans will flood to northern Wisconsin like bees to honey once the mine is operational.
Richard Head

The Mexicans have already flooded Northern Wisconsin. They work on the Dairy Farms there - the Farmers prefer them over the local whites. They have their families and live in trailers - remember that Dairy farming is a 7 day a week occupation, It has special, low agricultural wage rates, and there is no overtime pay.
I spent some time working on a Dairy Farm close to Fairchild, WI. Rough work - mostly manual. Your regular government slug couldn't handle it. In a small town, in the middle of nowhere was an ethnic Mexican store - for the Mexican laborers that work on the Farms. Lots of illegals, and unlicensed drivers. They work the Dairy Farms of Wisconsin.

Very good article:
Geologist Tom Fitz details the composition of the "Tyler Formation;" the large, wedge-shaped layer above the "Iron-Formation" layer (see figure, above).
There is also pyrite present in the Tyler Formation, some of which would end up in the tailings as well. When pulverized and put in contact with oxygen and water at the Earth's surface, pyrite and other sulfide minerals can undergo chemical reactions that create sulfuric acid. This acid can leach harmful metals and compounds that end up in groundwater and surface water.
It is also possible that sulfate ions released during the weathering of pyrite would affect the growth of wild rice and other elements of the sensitive ecosystem found downstream from the mine.
The legislation passed in January 2012 by the Wisconsin State Assembly would have decreased the rigor required in scientific studies regarding potential impacts, making assessment of potential damages difficult. At the same time it would weaken many environmental regulations that protect the Bad River and its tributaries from significant water quality changes.
THAT is the hidden danger in the current Mining Bill. ....

@Steve - You are getting confused. I said that no newspaper printed the Walker Recall Petition signers list because it is already on the Internet. Newspapers, as you should know as you claim to be a big time "job creator" and all that, ha ha, are a business. They compete with the Internet, and they go out of business easily these days. Publishing hundreds of thousands of names would take a lot of expense and risk, and the people that would be interested in that section of the newspaper that day are obviously not the type that do much newspaper reading, and newspapers therefore do not cater to them..
And you do have a short attention span. YOU brought the link to the Walker Recall list into the blog in trying to demean Dr. Tom Fitz as a signer. To many, those signing earn a badge of courage and conviction, even as you sniggle and scoff anonymously.

Reading this article made me very happy and hopeful that this time around, things will be conducted in an open, forthright manner. Steve, the delay was due to the way things were handled. It's always better to take a little more time to things right the first time as we know; mistakes are costly in terms of time and treasure.
Morninmist, if that's the same study I read, it was made clear that this was a small-scale, independent analysis but what was found raised profound questions about soil content. The attempt to redefine standard geological terminology for the purpose of the original mining bill suggested a questionable attempt to work around those pesky soil content issues. I would like to see the State of Wisconsin invite in-state experts and also those from the University of Minnesota. I understand they have been extensively involved in the successful mining operations in that state. Let's follow best practices going forward!
Brian Dey, that's a bit simplistic. Check this out: http://rt.com/usa/news/fracking-earthquake-dallas-usa-610/
Not to get all science-theory here, but action/reaction is a reality. Also not saying that resources shouldn't be extracted but we really need to be doing this in an intelligent manner, not just going after profit like a pig rooting for truffles.
Steve ®
2:23 pm on Thursday, January 24, 2013
They delay was due to the dems spiting Walker. The bill does not approve a mine, any mine. It changes why Wisconsin has zero taconite mines despite rich deposits.
Safe hydraulic fragmentation has nothing to do with a taconite mine.
2:58 pm on Thursday, January 24, 2013
No Steve, there were multiple constituencies raising concerns. As they should. After all, it's their backyard--and ours--that this is being proposed for. Have you considered that another reason for the dearth of taconite mines could be the soil content issue? Instead of blundering in and creating an environmental mess (and remember, Wisconsin isn't the mining company's "back yard), why not figure out how to get what's needed without environmental damage?
Concerning the Dallas fracking earthquake issue, I was responding to Brian Dey's "dig a hole, fill a hole" statement.
3:13 pm on Thursday, January 24, 2013
"without environmental damage" is kind of a problem. At some point you will have to accept environmental damage. There is environmental damage for nearly everything that we do, the question is how much and where it is acceptable. We are told to think globally until NIMBY comes up. How much "environmental damage" is there from a substance mined elsewhere and shipped here? The shipping alone may net more damage than the production here.
Steve ®
3:32 pm on Thursday, January 24, 2013
The death of taconite mining in Wisconsin is because we do not have deadlines to the exploration holes, and environmental studies. In Minnesota they have a 2 year deadline, then a decision has to be made. This is what the current bill is trying to change. You can harp about the "soil" content for years when this bill passes and the studies begin. That is if inventors are even interested anymore.
The rock is the same as in Minnesota and Michigan. It's only miles away.
Drilling for natural gas couldn't be farther from taconite mining.
6:19 pm on Thursday, January 24, 2013
Greg, I don't disagree that environmental impact is a complex issue. Consider how South Korea's air quality is impacted by China: http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/regions/asia-pacific/south-korea/130117/south-korea-toxic-smog-china-has-increased-pol
The issue of the mine, in my view, had more to do with the need to understand what the actual situation is in the proposed region. The maneuvering to get the bill passed without a clear picture should have been a warning sign to any reasonable person.
Greg and Steve, remember that we did not lose thousands of jobs. The number of estimated permanent jobs was under 1,000 and there were no guarantees on paper (that I could find at least) that local workers were going to be recruited first for those jobs. The mining company's leadership (including adminstration and IT) team were all from out of state. It's quite likely that the temporary jobs could have been contracted to out-of-state companies and workers with equipment and expertise in hand.
Steve, yes, there is similar mineral composition across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. But it is not identical.
As I've written before I'm not against mining. I am also for above-board, honest procedures. And I am also for language in the mining contract that ensures that a reasonable percentage of jobs provided are fulfilled by Wisconsin workers.
Steve ®

Yes basically identical, but the boogie man will always be in the closet.
You continue, and will continue failing to understand how a mine creates jobs OUTSIDE the mine. Thousands Bren. It's not rocket science.

The Walker admin along with WI legislatiors continues to sell its vision of Wisconsin based on its merits, including mining. Only in your world are days of comment seen as not being open.
10:46 am on Friday, January 25, 2013
What makes you think that the mine would recruit people from outside the state to fill the jobs that the mine creates? Is it really that advantageous for the mine to pay for moving expenses and such to bring in out of state workers if there are plenty of local people able and willing to do the work?
Secondly, even if they do bring in out of state people to fill all of the new jobs, isn't there still going to be an increase in economic activity (and more jobs created) as those workers join the local economy and start spending their paychecks at local businesses?
I think quotas that require an employer to hire 'x number' of a target demographic are generally a bad idea, particularly in the private sector.
11:03 am on Friday, January 25, 2013
Cow dung
Republicans did not like it when Pelosi said lets pass the bill and we will see what is in it.
Now the show is on the other foot. The mining company will let us know its plans after the bill is passed.
........Democrats on the committees peppered Seitz and Gogebic Taconite President Bill Williams with multiple what-if scenarios, asking whether the company is really committed to the project, whether it would hire Wisconsin workers when hundreds of experienced miners are out of work around the country and what the company would do if iron prices plummet and the mine is no longer viable.
Seitz promised work would begin as soon as Walker signs the bill. He promised to release thousands of pages detailing the company's plans after the bill becomes law.

A person would have had to be on life support back when the Dems killed the bill with their fear mongering to not know what the Dems were up to and that they were going to put their EPA back in the closet on this one (until they need them again) and flip on the issue. At this point they have less then 2 years to sell the people of this state a notion that they're pro mining pro jobs. Can they sell that notion though from Illinois?
Dems have just alienated over 70% of the U.S. population due to their vigilanti knee jerk anti 2nd Amendment theatrics. Yes, over 70% per cent of the population now equate the 2nd Amendment with the Constitution and realize the right to personal protection is not to be entrusted to a government that can take all rights away. It took Walker to pass the CCW law after years and years of Democrat opposition.

@Dirk Gutzmiller, your Walker recall signers tracking was weak. We have a national database on sex offenders because sex offenders committed a crime that got them registered as one. Convicts, particularly paroled ones, are registered and given a rap sheet because they are, or were, criminals, and it's a matter of public safety to know about their criminal acts and past, especially in cases of violence. Most gun owners are not criminals, just average people who happen to own a deadly weapon or two or a dozen. They haven't done anything wrong. There are more responsible, law-abiding gun owners than not. It strikes me as draconian to call for millions of law abiding people to land on a massive list for just owning a weapon.

I find it totally amazing that the liberals here against the mine, claim how little if any jobs will be created if it goes ahead.

I am a realist, however, so print a list of events where guns caused more problems than they solved. I'm sure you'd have a much longer list. Not all events end well just because someone was armed. Also, no one ever talks about the effects on the shooters when they kill someone. The police routinely have psychiatric interventions for the cop who has to kill someone. The army routinely deals with PTSD problems in returning servicemen. Some never get over their guilt. Some feel no guilt at all, and those guys would worry me a lot.

This is what we all need to do. It's called good stewardship. This is not our planet. We are only here for a little while and then we are recalled.

We have as much right as any in the State to pursue opportunity ... protectionist activity simply delays opportunity, or ensures it occurs somewhere else.
Acting humanely would require respect for the endeavors of those that risk for reward, create opportunity for others, and do so in spite of the reprehensible attitudes of people that cannot acknowledge the benefits we have inherited as a result of their behavior.
Let's move forward, that our inheritors, of every culture, appreciate the efforts of our generation ... instead of our debt.

my only lament is that makeup isn't more creative. i'd love a lot people a lot more if they wore tiger stripes or tartan swatches across the bridge of their stupid noses
― fka snush (remy bean), Thursday, 3 May 2012 14:41 (1 year ago) Permalink
It's less about not being able to face the world, and more about being pressured from birth to be a very specific, ever more narrowly defined kind of lovely, achievable only through makeup.
Lots of people are very creative with makeup (maybe not stripes on their noses) but they do some really cool stuff - http://eyegraffiti.blogspot.com/.
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Thursday, 3 May 2012 14:46 (1 year ago) Permalink
^ i have rarely/never seen makeup that interesting in person, except in magazines. I guess it could be kind of a cool hobby? I still wish special effects were A Thing, like people walking around with cat ears and bolts on the neck.

xp You should go to more goth clubs! Or fandom conventions. I'm not even kidding. My post-Hunger Games commentary mostly revolved around how I wished people really did dress/groom themselves like the people in the Capitol.
Also, crazy nail polish is really becoming popular (one of my favorite examples, probably unsurprisingly - http://copythatcopycat.blogspot.com/2011/11/31-day-nail-challenge-day-17-galaxy.html) so maybe it's a trend towards everybody looking like a Star Trek alien (I am pro this).
Probably though in a year people will decide that elaborate makeup/nail painting is really trashy and it will be all about clear mascara and OPI Matte Nail Envy.

But seriously, I am a total dolt with painting my nails, so I'm going to miss the fancy nails bandwagon (also maybe not conducive with my age and profession, alas) but I would really like to have galaxy nails for a week.
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Thursday, 3 May 2012 14:54 (1 year ago) Permalink
those nails are amazing, i'd rock them if i could. i used to paint the middle fingers on both of my hands with mirror-reflective paint, because it seemed cool and 'alt.' It wasn't, though.

^ oh yeah, i know. the sad is a product of both the diastrophic pressure and the response to it. and my response is similar to the dorky, stonar-like "wow sprawl", "wow cars", and "wow clothes" flashes i occasionally get when, for whatever reason, i really look at and think about ostensibly "normal" things i ordinarily take for granted. sort of knew from beginning that this wasn't a subject i needed to shoot my mouth off about though...

I've seen a lot of fancy nails that I think 'that's nice... as a picture on the internet, not on my nails' but those galaxy ones are 1000000 kinds of awesome and I want them!

oooh, I love those galaxy nails too. I wish I was talented; I can barely paint my nails. I glop it all on and then let washing my hands repeatedly wear away the polish on my skin :P When I was in high school I used to have the patience and would paint designs with toothpicks, like Union Jacks and stripes.

and I love makeup because it's fun. I don't feel any pressure to look any certain way, except the way I want to look because I like the look! In the last year I've given up on staying inside if I have a bare face, let the world know: I HAVE BLONDE EYELASHES. That's okay.
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Thursday, 3 May 2012 15:08 (1 year ago) Permalink
I wear makeup less often - my eyes are too puffy in the morning for me to really want to do anything about makeup for at least an hour or two after I get up. But my face is very pink/flushed all the time, I actually prefer how I look in makeup; I just wish I could be arsed to care that anyone else has to look at me without it haha

this is not the right thread, but since we're talking about it, how do folks get their eyeliner to not smudge? without fail, every day, some smudging! i look at the cool stuff on the eyegraffiti page but then my very next thought is, if i wore that it would all be smudged to pieces...

I feel this is a rational anger but for a lack of a better place to put it: ppl with umbrellas, please refrain from swinging them to and fro as you go up the stairs. People's faces are right behind you!

i don't really care about ppl putting makeup on on the subway, but when they do the eyeliner i'm always afraid they'll stab themselves in the eyeball
umbrellas are just weapons in the hands of the oblivious

I hate makeup. I hate women using public transport as a place to do their toiletries. Keep it in the bathroom, damn. I hate the idea women feel obliged to wear makeup. I wont wear it unless I'm going out somewhere fancy or to a club. Makeup can be done subtly and well, but seeing people wearing a thick trowel layer of brownish slap all over their face with bright cheeks and eyelids... all I can think of is:

BTW, you can preserve tomato paste in the fridge for quite some time in a very simple way: pour a thin layer of olive oil over the top of the paste. It keeps it sealed.

OH. I'm glad you brought this up again. Guess what? I was on the train with the make-up lady this time! I timed her foundation application and it was not ten minutes but it was a little over five, which is still a really long time to dab makeup on your face. I wasn't in the seat next to her so I could surreptitiously check out her technique and she puts on LIQUID EYELINER! On the train! Using a little hand mirror! I can't even begin to put on liquid eyeliner in a perfectly still bathroom with a big mirror and bright lights. I'm torn between still being irritated by how long it takes her to put on foundation/the impropriety of personal grooming in public (I'm sorry, sunny! I'm kind of stuffy about these things) and being completely impressed by her skill.
The person I was sitting next to was wearing earphones and also playing Words with Friends WITH THE SOUND ON. I don't even think she realized it.

I don't like people who put makeup on on public transport but mainly because they always seem to appear on the aisle seat next to me two stops before mine, get tens of things out of several makeup bags at once, and act like I am being wildly unreasonably when I make them stop and gather everything back up so I can get out

If I'm the only one around in an empty carriage I might, but I don't like doing it when I'm in a full carriage of people -- mainly because when other ppl do it I spend more time assessing them based on their techniques and the cosmetics they used and I do not want that kind of scrutiny lol

I think I found my ultimate, #1 IA on the weekend.
I carpooled with 2 friends to Monterey for a work-related function/getaway. I have only been to that area a couple of times, I sort of knew the general way to get there, and had plugged the hotel address into my map on my phone in case we got lost. We also had directions given to us.
But the girl who was driving, and the other passenger, announced "Oh we're not going that way" and said we were going a different way. So we get halfway down this other freeway and after asking a few questions it appears that NEITHER the driver or the passenger have any idea which exit they're getting off on for this 'faster' route, not even a nearby town, NOTHING.
Now I'm not a person who fears getting lost. I dont' mind that at all. But when we have to be at a certain place at a certain time and when it's not just you toodling around on your own, when you have passengers, surely it behooves you to have researched your driving route, and to perhaps ask one of the passengers to assist in navigating.
I honestly do not understand jumping in the car and saying 'do do do, if I just drive south I'm sure we'll get there in the end.'
And it's not rocket science, it's hardly a difficult place to get to.
Mr Veg and I have a great partnership - he drives, I navigate. But as the driver, he's already looked to see where we're going. and he's given me the map. So if I happen to misread the map or get unsure of myself, he'll be familiar enough to say, 'are you sure? I thought it was (x)' and vice versa, so we correct each other as we go, but mostly he drives and I navigate, and it works like a dream.
I kind of resent navigating someone who can't be bothered to even find out where they're going, you know?

agh this drives me nuts and my b-i-l does it! We got stuck driving around the far end of our own town for an hour or so because he didn't have a map and had just written down the google maps instructions. which made no sense at one point so we got lost. but he kept going back and trying to make them make sense. also he spent a long time defying the GPS instructions down a particular route because he knew best and went about 15 mins out of his way every time. if you looked at the start & finish point on a map there would be no way you could have come up with his route!

I don't know how people mess up this badly in 2012, unless it's just slavish adherence to the "I'm not going to pull over" school of thought. I mean, if I am driving and am not quite sure what's up, I pull over and get something cool to drink and fiddle with Google Maps on my modern smartphone and it tells me where to go! The only time that's impractical is when I do something stupid like driving into a major urban center at rush hour, in which case you've already fucked up.

She did it again when we were leaving to drive home. She wanted to go look at some town she'd visited when she was a kid. So she starts toodling down along some surface street and I noticed that we were going in the opposite direction to where I thought the town was. I said, um, are you sure it's not the other direction?
She's visited this area more than I have and I still ended up basically explaining to her that Monterey was south and Santa Cruz was north, and to go north we had to UP highway 1, not DOWN.
and I'm terrible with compass directions generally, but when there's a coastline involved, I figured it would it kinda make things pretty simple.
I guess it's that Zen and the Art of Motorcyle Maintenance thing that he talks about, people who don't fix leaky taps vs people who do, or don't consult a map vs people who do.
But I am seriously going to consider making this criteria for friendships going forward. Because there could be homicide in my future.

Irrational Anger, snooty performing arts edition:
- If a symphony plays something that you recognize from a parody song, it is not appropriate to sing along with the orchestra for a few bars.- I ain't mad at you if you fall asleep or even snore, but if your symphony companion is snoring, you need to go ahead and elbow that guy and make him stop instead of letting him saw logs loud enough for the entire third balcony to hear.

Minnesota rallies in Wild second period to beat Red Wings
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Wild have had to work a bit harder to generate any offense this season. That's what made Jason Zucker zooming past everybody for a highlight-reel goal such a welcome sight.
Dany Heatley, Zucker and Torrey Mitchell all scored in the second period to rally Minnesota over the Detroit Red Wings 3-2 on Sunday night.
It was Minnesota's first regulation win since Jan. 29 and just the second time it scored at least three goals in regulation over the last nine games.
"It's big. I'm not going to sit here and say this makes our season," Wild coach Mike Yeo said. "We've still got a lot of work to do and we're focused on continuing to get better as a group. But this is huge."
Damien Brunner and Pavel Datsyuk scored for Detroit, which has lost three straight for the first time since March 10-21 of last season.
"You have to win and get points in this league, otherwise you lose sight of things in a hurry," Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "Right now, we're taking on water."
After Heatley snapped a nine-game scoring drought to make it 2-1, Zucker went coast-to-coast and scored his first NHL goal to tie it.
Zucker was called up on Saturday to try and spark the Wild's offense. The 2010 second-round pick showed off his speed and made a slick move on Valtteri Flippula to break free and score unassisted.
"For me, I skate fast and I try to get the puck on net," Zucker said. "That's what I do."
Asked about his shoot-first mentality, Zucker smiled and said: "I'm not exactly a passer. I'm trying to get the puck on net and limit my passing." Continued...
Mitchell scored his first goal in a Wild uniform off a faceoff scrum to give Minnesota the lead 30 seconds later.
Several Minnesota players are sick, but Zucker's pure speed and the play of backup goalie Darcy Kuemper made the Wild feel better.
Kuemper found out he was starting five minutes before the game due to regular goalie Niklas Backstrom being sick. After stopping 28 of 30 shots in his debut Tuesday, a 2-1 loss at Vancouver, Kuemper made 29 saves on Sunday.
Despite allowing 14 shots and hearing boos from the home crowd, the Wild only trailed 1-0 after the first period.
Brunner whacked the puck past Kuemper to give Detroit the lead at 8:48. Ryan Suter couldn't clear the bouncing puck and Brunner took advantage.
"I knew I didn't get much of a warm-up so they got one quick there and I just tried to ease myself in the game," Kuemper said. "I just tried to continue to prepare myself and give our team a chance."
Datsyuk, back after missing a game with a shoulder injury, beat the rookie with a wrist shot from outside the left circle 20 seconds into the second.
Then the Wild woke up and scored three times on rookie goalie Petr Mrazek in a span of 4:10 to take a 3-2 lead.
"I don't know what happened in the locker room between periods, but we made some mistakes right from the start," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said. "We never generated much after that."
It wasn't just the Wild's offense that got rolling in the second period. Thanks to a diving save by Kuemper early and strong defense throughout, Minnesota killed a four-minute high-sticking penalty to close the second. Continued...
"We had a few chances. One of those has to go in," said Detroit captain Henrik Zetterberg. "If it does, this would be a different game."
Besides the stretch in the second, Mrazek was solid, stopping 24 shots.
The Red Wings are now 8-2-2 in their last 12 games against Minnesota.
Notes: Minnesota's Pierre-Marc Bouchard and Justin Falk missed the game due to illness. Zenon Konopka was a healthy scratch. ... Zetterberg had two assists and has 20 points in his last 14 games. ... Zucker led AHL Houston with 19 goals and 41 assists. ... Mikael Samuelsson returned from a groin injury and played in his third game of the season for Detroit.

gotta love the illustrations - Goodreads They are not about producing beautiful graphics. - Goodreads I look forward to implementing these insights. - Goodreads Spatial orientation. - Goodreads User Review - Flag as inappropriate Very interesting subject. Though it doesn't mention software, I'd highly recommend the book to anyone who uses Excel or Powerpoint in their daily lives -- charts and graphics can be powerful tools for presenting information, but can also conceal and confuse it. Tufte is quite an expert on these visual tools, and makes his case with fascinating stories. My only criticism would be a lack of organization to the book.

Symbian Developer
Symbian is a Nokia operating system design for mobile applications, mobile devices and some Smart Phones. The Symbian includes tools, frameworks and tool libraries and the Symbian platform is open source and includes features for multitasking, and is designed to include significant security features, optimum efficiency for user interface and memory resources. All programming is event–based and battery power is reserved for active objects, so real–time response is achieved for focused events, while inactive events are transferred to a low–power mode.
Symbian devices are growing in popularity with flexible, multi–level user operations for file service, plug–ins, storage and libraries and significant device compatibility. Communication and networking systems include ETEL for telephone, C32 for serial communication and ESOCK for socket networking. This functionality also supports USB, IrDA and BlueTooth short–range
connectivity. The user interface includes S60, MOAP and UIQ with font libraries, and graphics. The open Symbian OS includes keyboard, tablet design and newer device versions include new security features and the Symbian Foundation has published the source code for the Symbian platform to further development of apps.
Newer models include native support for Wi–Fi, HSDPA, 802.11, XpressMusic, digital television broadcasts for ISDB–T and DVB–H, location services, and additional Nokia and Sony Ericsson models.
Symbian native programming incorporates standard C++ for Qt Creator and Carbide with a simulator for testing of new applications. Developers may also work in Symbian C++ which is a significantly different environment that requires training and additional skills to utilize active objects, descriptors and other tools. Developers working in this environment typically use IDE or CodeWarrior. Programmers can also use widgets, .NET, Python, Flash Lite, Java ME, Ruby, Borland, Linux, Mac OS X, a plug in for Apple's XCode, and Web Runtime. The Symbian design includes an application interface class, a document class and an application class and a user customization feature TechView. Third party development requires a digital signature from a Symbian Signed program and an ACS publisher ID certificate from a TC TrustCenter.

"Very Disappointed"
Had a Rudd Achiever 90 Plus with dual comfort control installed in Feb 06 and have had nothing but grief with this furnace. First service call Mar 06, 2 service calls in the winter of 07 and just called again Dec 08. This furnace will not keep running, comes on for 10 secs then shuts down then comes on after about 1 min then continues this cycle. The company that installed it says they need to come and clean the furnace every year or the warranty is void. What a crock. They want $75.00 every time they come out. We have owned several homes and have had 2 furnaces replaced before and never once had to call for service even on the furnaces we did not replace. I will never buy another Rudd product. We saved over $200 on our heating bill every year but paying $150 on service calls doesn't add up to much savings.

"Somewhat Happy"
Those with the 90-plus, I will solve your clicking noise. Your intake and exhaust pipes are to small. Either replace them with bigger ones or do what I did. I just leave the top door slightly opened so the furnace is getting extra air, its using air from inside the house so you might have to leave a window slightly opened if your house is airtight.

"Great piece of Equipment"
I had a 92% 2-stage 60,000btu furnace installed in my house in 2004. Works wonderfully. I haven't had a single issue w/ it. Way quieter than the Bryant I replaced it with. I know Ruud has had its issues in the past w/ their early-mid 1990's 90+ models, but they did a great job w/ this furnace.

"RUUD - Unsatisfied"
90+ 120k btu furnace will not stay on. This is the first year flames out and recycles it self and will not restart. Also have clicking sound while calling for gas. Company will not return calls. A/C system coil developed a small in cooper tubing $1,500 to replace unit. Ruud will only replace part of the coil. Furnace and A/C units only 4 years old.

"Ruud Modulating Furnace"
This modulating Furnace is Amazing. My gas bills have really dropped. I would not change my Ruud furnace for any other. I paid good money for it, but you get what you pay for!

"Ruud - clicks off and on continuously"
In October 2007, We bought a brand new Ruud Ultra Series 90 Plus Modulating Gas Furnace with Contour Comfort Control. When it needs to "modulate" it clicks off and on continuously and without pause, anywhere from 1 to 20 minutes. Sometimes it works like I imagine it should, and it's a beautiful sound. This clicking has been going on since the day it was installed. Our installer cannot figure out why this is happening and has not been able to get answers from the Ruud people. The furnace has saved us over $200 in gas bills over the past year, but we have to adjust the temperature on the thermostat up to 20 times a day because the clicking noise is so disruptive. We replaced the thermostat but nothing changed. We've used this furnace for 10 of the 13 months we've owned it.

Had to replace a high pressure switch in Jan 04, worked okay until May 08, a service tech came out to see why unit was not working, checked out okay and sold me an expensive digital therm.

"Brian G. Northville Mich."
Purchased 90+ in 1994 -Nothing but trouble from day one, continual failures - factory techs from Arkansas even came to the house early on - couldn't figure it out. Several circuit boards, igniters, blower motors later the 20 year heat exchanger finally blew. Thankfully I enrolled in the utility Company service plan - so they had to cover the $2,000 -$3,000 of repairs over the past years. Horrible product

"Piece of Junk RUDD"
Built a new house in 2006. Furnace quit working January 2008 called the person that installed fixed the problem in 15 minutes charged us $75.00. Went to turn the heat on yesterday Oct. 21, 2008 and no heat again. Very disappointed in this product. I shouldn't have to worry about a two year old furnace not working properly.

"money pit"
Motherboard has fried twice. Now exhaust motor is fried. Not to mention the rust inside the unit. An hvac person told me that the problems were due to high moisture in my basement, but I found that the exhaust motor condensation was not draining properly and the other condensate hose was loose and leaking in the unit causing electrical failures. I periodically pour a cap of bleach in the condensate trap to keep algea away. The parts for my unit are , I think , outrageously priced.
