Even with opening numbers well short of the $207 million opening record ("The Avengers"), "The Dark Knight Rises" still posted nothing short of an enormous first weekend, with a per theater average of more than $36,000 and $160 million in opening revenue. Many of the other major movies currently in theaters struggled to find their audience amidst the "Dark Knight Rises" hype, though the box office as a whole still finished with the second biggest weekend of the year.
Following Friday morning's tragedy in Aurora, Colorado, distributor Warner Brothers was understandably hesitant to post its studio estimates, instead choosing to delay reporting out of respect to the victims. But even being marred by tragic circumstances, "The Dark Knight Rises" still ended up with the third biggest opening of all-time, finishing below only "The Avengers" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2."
One of the biggest indicators of how much of an impact "The Dark Knight Rises" had over the weekend - outside of its own raw data - was the other titles that struggled to find their audiences. "The Amazing Spider-Man" dipped nearly 70% from its second weekend totals and even "Ted" saw a dip of 55% after dominating with adult audiences for the last month.
Anticipating the impact of "The Dark Knight Rises," other studios also stayed away from launching action movies next weekend as well, which should open the door for another enormous weekend for "Rises." After opening $2 million ahead of "The Dark Knight," "The Dark Knight Rises" will likely see a similar level of dominance as its predecessor over the next month or so; "The Dark Knight" would go on to top the box office for four consecutive weekends in 2008, helping it reach $533 million domestically and more than $1 billion worldwide. Look for "The Dark Knight Rises" to post a few more big weekends and to see worldwide revenue once again challenge $1 billion.
While "The Dark Knight Rises" dominated with its intended demographic, R-rated drama "Magic Mike" quietly crossed yet another milestone, pushing past $100 million in domestic revenue in its fourth weekend in theaters. With a production budget of just $7 million, "Magic Mike" is by far the most inexpensive 2012 release to cross the mark, making it director Steven Soderbergh's biggest hit outside of the "Ocean's" trilogy. "Magic Mike" also represents another high point for Channing Tatum, who has graduated from minor roles to becoming a major movie star.
The weekend should also be the last fairly big weekend for "Ted," Seth MacFarlane's R-rated comedy that has turned into somewhat of a phenomenon. Partly thanks to the popularity of MacFarlane's popular TV series "Family Guy," "Ted" is now up to $180 million domestically and more than $200 million around the globe, making it far and away the biggest comedic hit of the year. "Ted" will see some fresh competition this upcoming weekend as "The Watch" opens, but it still should easily finish as the top R-rated release of 2012 when all is said and done.
As mainstream audiences turned to "The Dark Knight Rises," there was even a significant impact on animated release "Ice Age: Continental Drift." Domestic numbers have been so-so for the fourth installment in the popular franchise, leading to an underwhelming 10-day total of $88 million after its second weekend. But even with unimpressive U.S. totals, "Ice Age: Continental Drift" continues to hit big with family audiences overseas, propelling it past $500 million in worldwide revenue already. "Continental Drift" has been so successful overseas that it's already made $300 million more than Pixar's "Brave" despite slow numbers in the U.S. and a shorter stay in theaters.
Next weekend, music drama "Step Up Revolution" is one of the headline releases in a slow weekend followed by "The Watch," an R-rated comedy starring Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller and Jonah Hill. The summer blockbuster season will slow considerably now that "The Dark Knight Rises" has launched, though movies like "Total Recall," "The Bourne Legacy" and "The Expendables 2" should still find action audiences over the next month.
Early Studio Box Office Estimates for 7/20/12 - 7/22/12 (In Millions), [RTT Prediction]:
1. The Dark Knight Rises (Warner Brother): $160.89 [$193]
2. Ice Age: Continental Drift (Fox): $20.42 [$26]
3. The Amazing Spider-Man (Sony/Columbia): $10.89 [$17]
4. Ted (Universal): $10.01 [$14]
5. Brave (Disney): $6.02 [$6]
6. Magic Mike (Warner Brothers): $4.29 [$4.8]
7. Savages (Universal): $3.40 [$4.2]
8. Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection (Lionsgate): $2.25 [$2.5]
9. Moonrise Kingdom (Focus): $1.83 [$2.1]
10. To Rome with Love (Sony Pictures Classics): $1.42 [N/A]

Hifiman HE400 - The Everyman Audiophile Can
Pros: Good across the frequency range, Live Sounding, Full
Cons: Connectors - Logo Paint
When I originally got into this hobby some 2 years ago, my first run of purchases included Sennheiser HD650's and Denon D5000.... I also had a couple beaters like Klipsch Image Ones and Koss Porta Pros..... upon purchasing my first bonafied head amp (a Fiio E10) I thought my journey was over.... I had an amazing closed headphone, an amazing open headphone, a decent amp/dac... nuff said. Lets close the book on this chapter and enjoy some music.
I focused a good amount of energy and resources from there on (A) fixing up my 54 Lincoln and (B) mechanical watches..... I was in the throws of said watch obsession waiting for Steinhart to fill inventory on the Ocean 44 dive watch when I saw a "How It's Made" at the AKG factory in Austria....
OH!... Headphones!.... I LIKE THOSE!
Since Steinhart are setting their restock date in August... lets see what's new in the headphone world.
And so the bug bit again.... but this time reading through forums and websites brought forth many mentions of a new player in the game... Hifiman and its Chinese visionary leader Dr. Fang Bian.
I originally planned on buying one of the early models (HE-4, HE-5 second hand and was even looking at drumming up the cash to buy the HE500 when I caught word that a new lower priced planar magnetic model had hit the streets.... the HE400.
I perused the Headfonia article which gave it a restrained thumbs up as well as the effusive gushing review by Steve Guttenberg and decided to pull the trigger.
And so after purchasing the headphones on Amazon for $399 they arrived at my doorstep about 10 days later with obvious signs of having shipped direct from China.
When I opened the box I was a bit dismayed.... there was no fancy case like had been shown in the literature and early reviews... Just a simple retail class cardboard box.
I opened the box to find a pair of what looked to be a pair of blue HE400 but they were covered with a white dust and seemed to have been haphazardly packaged into the box....
"Is this some damn knock off or something?" was my original thought... A sticker on the exterior of the box seemed to imply that this was some demo model... yet I paid full price.... WTF!
Needless to say the Hifiman HE400 and me did not have a very good introduction... no love at first sight here.... I was suspicious of this johnny come lately and probably had mixed feelings about this headphone until the point where I plugged it in and pushed play. And that is where the criticisms ended.
Up until this point all of my headphones were on the warm and bass heavy side.... Denon D5K's, HD650's, Porta Pro's and Klipsch Image Ones that I once heard described as "bass fart cannons".... so my predisposition of what a good headphone sounded like was a bit tilted to one side.... But plugging in the HE400's I was taken back initially.... They were clear.... crisp.... the bass was there but certainly not up with the D5ks or 650s... but as I listened and listened I had that "AHA!" moment.... These things sound good... very good! very very good!
The HE400 sound is not lush or warm or thick.... It is smooth but hangs its hat on clarity and providing a balanced perspective of the music. Some have called it a bass heavy can but I don't see that.
Comparing it to the HD650 its sound is much more neutral (oh the word of death!) but it doesn't lack of musicality.... What one does discover listening to this headphone is that the slightly more forward and engaging mid range gives it a very "LIVE" presentation.
Shortly thereafter I purchased the planar magnetic darling of Headfi Audeze LCD2 and was originally assuming that the HIFIMan can would lose its luster after the LCD2 arrived but this was not so....
The LCD2 has a lovely way about it... a beautifully resolving sound and penchant for low volume listening... the ease/ effortlessness with which the LCD2 can play the most complex and formidable low frequency passages is amazing.... I give credit to its lightning fast planar membrane.... It sounds wonderful with jazz, oldies, and some slow classic rock.... but what I discovered after weeks and weeks of comparing the runt of the Hifiman planar line with the Audeze cohort more than twice its price is that with more up tempo guitar driven music.... the HE400 actually provides just a bit more impact and forwardness to the mid range that gives it a more realistic, live sound.
I saw the LCD2 as sounding like home listening while the HE400 was like being at a show.... That ever so slight tipped up mid range made the HE400 more involving and immersive... the LCD2 holds you back ever so slightly from the music and thus can cause disengagement with mid range focused guitar rock.... Considering the better part of my library is punk, rock, and alternative... the HE400 is actually the better all rounder of the two.... What is more and it is rarely mentioned on this site, is that while the LCD2 can give you a ridiculously well resolved low frequency that mines the depths of a song to reproduce it with perfect symmetry and resolution, the HE400 actually provides a bit more punch and impact despite being a bit less confident in its resolve.
The HE400 is prone to get a little fuzzy where the LCD2 provides crystal clear realism.... but it makes up for it with punch and dynamic weight.... you can hear it with the Audeze but you can feel it with the Hifiman.
This desire to meet you halfway is what makes the HE400 so special.... It is not euphonic and lush and warm like the HD650... but in terms of accuracy vs. impact it has found an amazingly intoxicating balance.... The LCD2 seemed too focused on technical skill and speed and this strips away enough of the emotive experience that the HE400 has a justified place in my collection.
It is certainly not the last word in headphones but it is an amazing performer in the right setting and is a decent all rounder.
I have one maybe two gripes with this headphone and they have ZERO to do with its sound quality.
One is the weird reverse polarity coaxial connectors used to connect the cables to the cans.... the connectors are actually a pro television and radio fitting for antenna connections so it is an odd choice.... and very difficult to source. More importantly is that twisting the cable over and over to connect and release the cables is bound to eventually cause a short or some other form of damage in the cable.... My particular model came with a 6 foot Canare quad OFC cable and after connecting and disconnecting a few dozen times the collar on the cable side of the connector actually pushed through the back of the stem and fell off.... rendering the cable dead.... Hifiman was quick to send out a new replacement cable to me (Hat tip to Vince at Head Direct!) but if there was one thing I would change it would be that. Another line of defense that I may likely pursue is Toxic Cables adapters. If you buy a cable from him with say mini XLR terminations for Audeze cans he can build a set of adapters for Hifiman connectors so you can bypass the twist connector all together. You'd have a couple of odd little ears dangling on the bottom of them when not connected to the cable but... this should only bother the most aesthetically anal in the hobby.
The other mild nuisance is that the logo and markings are all painted on the headphones..... Thus after a few short months of handling them, the L & R designating which side is which have all but rubbed off.... The headphones appear to be perfectly symmetrical in build so I don't know that it changes anything to wear them either way but I opted to tag the stems with red and black sharpie to keep track. However it'd be nice if they could find a more permanent solution for marking the sides.... and the brand.... I've got to believe that eventually the "Hifiman HE-400" marking on the blocks will go to the wayside as well.
Beyond these minor grievances I am superbly happy with this headphone.... It is a worthy adversary in the $400 realm and beats the snot out of its similarly price AKG, Beats and Grado adversaries... the only $400 can that I'd argue keeps pace is the Sennheiser HD6XX team.
Buy with confidence.... The HE400 is worth every penny. You will not regret it.

I remember the excitement as we readied ourselves for that (delayed) flight to New Delhi in May 2010. Several businessmen and women were headed for the Aman ki Asha Indo-Pak Meet along with those of us privileged to be among the organisers.
Personally speaking, I had no great expectations from the meeting. It promised to be a groundbreaking event, certainly, taking forward the work of individual businesspersons who had been interacting with counterparts across the border. Amin Hashwani, who headed the Indo-Pak Young CEOs Forum, was one; Faiza Samee, who has for years been supplying India's glitterati with exclusive wedding and party wear, is another. My earlier interactions with Indians were mostly limited to journalists, artists and activists, most of whom I'd found open-minded and curious about Pakistan, eager to build bridges and be friends. I knew that Pakistani businesses would benefit greatly from trade with India - after all, there's a huge middle class across the border, larger than Pakistan's entire population. But I had no idea what to expect from India's business community. And I certainly didn't expect more than a lukewarm response.
Our Indian hosts - the CII and Times of India - and their guests blew us away with their warmth, hospitality and openness. It wasn't just the speeches and the panel discussions - wonderful as some of those were. It was the interactions over (wonderful) dinners and lunches and teas, in between sessions. There was curiosity, there was warmth, and there was openness.
The hawkish (or so we had thought) Indian finance minister Pranab Mukherjee disarmed (no pun intended) everyone when he set the tone by referring to Pakistanis as his "brothers and sisters". Saying the "sky is the limit" for trade between the two largest nations of South Asia, he regretted that this was the "least integrated region" in the world, worse than even sub-Saharan Africa.
He then outlined an eight-point agenda to change that scenario: better communication, a liberal trade regime, complementarity of export surplus, creation of transit facilities, free movement of goods, transit trade to Afghanistan and central Asia, replacement of the existing positive list by negative lists of goods beyond which Pakistan would permit imports from India and improvement in infrastructure for trade and transport.
Two years down the road, we are well on this road although there is clearly still a long way to go.
Mukherjee also unintentionally caused considerable mirth during his speech when he kept referring to Jang Group's Managing Director Shahukh Hasan, one of the driving forces behind Aman ki Asha, as Shahrukh Khan. Someone whispered a correction in his ear after he sat down and he apologised. Shahrukh Hasan gamely took the joke further when he stood up to ask a question, introducing himself as "Shahrukh Khan.. sorry, I mean Hasan."
The keynote speaker, the widely respected 'godfather' of India's software industry and founder chairman Infosys Dr Narayana Murthy took the bonhomie of the opening session further with his inspiring speech. "Our common past is far longer than our divided present. We must find a way to recapture that spirit of oneness and togetherness. Such a spirit of togetherness requires us to work towards a lasting peace," he said.
Murthy reminded the audience of Quaid-e-Azam M. A. Jinnah's words: "our objective should be peace within and peace without, we want to live peacefully and maintain cordial and friendly relations with our immediate neighbours and with the world at large."
Murthy also invoked Mathma Gandhi: "the cry for peace will be a cry in the wilderness so long as the spirit of non-violence does not dominate millions of men and women."
And he shared a personal story, about his son who was studying in the US and had become good friends with a Pakistani student. "Both boys are only separated by a short flight when they are at home but in reality, visiting each other is nearly impossible."
His son "dreams of a day when his friend could explore and experience all that India has to offer and that he in turn would be able to visit Pakistan. He envisions a future where Pakistan would be an important export destination for India and that India could import significantly from Pakistan. He wishes for the day when Indian and Pakistani scientists collaborate to find cures for diseases such a TB and malaria. Most of all he hopes for a cricket team that could bring the best of Pakistani and Indian talent together and beat every other nation.
"If we foster economic cooperation in the spirit of peace, our countries can meet any challenge. Countless lives on both sides of the border and the future of our children and grandchildren can be that much brighter if only we make achieving a peaceful future our top most priority," said Murthy.
Another person who stands out in my mind is Brijmohan Lal Munjal, the "bicycle and two-wheeler king" of India and perhaps the world. The founder and former president CII and Hero Honda Motors chairman gave a wonderfully moving, even emotional, speech in chaste Urdu at the concluding session of the two-day conference.
At 86, Munjal still clearly remembered his childhood in Kamalia, in Faisalabad (formerly Lyallpur) district of Pakistan, where he was born. "I cannot forget those days. When I went back there, I travelled to my school to check whether my name was still mentioned on the school board," he said.
His speech was strewn with beautiful Urdu (a language he is fluent in) shaiyri that he recited in perfect diction: Tha mitaa deney ko nafrat ek sadee ki/ mohabbat ka aik lamha kafi hai (to wipe out a century of hatred, all it takes is a moment of love).
He spoke with fondness of his roots and of the people of Kamalia, where he still has old friends he is in touch with. "I personally tried to help some of them when they were starting business ventures in Pakistan," he said, relating how he sent machinery for a cycle venture in Pakistan from his factory in Ludhiana. "And I was there when the first cycle was rolled out."
(Given the continuous state of tensions between both countries, I wondered how he had managed to do this, but didn't get a chance to talk to him afterwards.)
Munjal's obvious sincerity, down-to-earth gentle good humour and poetry won the hearts of all those present in the packed hall. Like everyone else present in the hall, he warmly and open-heartedly welcomed and supported the Aman Ki Asha initiative was indeed genuine. "It will certainly make a difference; I feel that from my heart," he said.
The discussions were so engaging that Pakistan's ambassador to New Delhi Shahid Malik, who had come intending to be there for a short while only, ended up staying for the full two days. He was also believed to have submitted a most favourable report to Islamabad about the event and the issue of trade between the two countries.
Even people not directly concerned with trade and business were enthused by the visit of so many high-powered Pakistani businessmen and women. Senior journalist Jyoti Malhotra arranged a hi-tea event at the Delhi Women's Press Corps for some of the delegates to meet journalists. The meeting room was packed with media men and women armed with notebooks and cameras. Such is the disconnect between the two countries that the very first question, from a young woman, was about her surprise at seeing so many women in the delegation. Who can blame her for thinking like this - she had probably never met a Pakistani woman before.
Such misconceptions will only be removed if the visa restrictions are eased so that people can travel and meet and if the media starts to project the other side with all its complexities.
P.S. It's good to know that visas for the business community are being eased and we welcome Indian delegates at the 2nd Aman ki Asha Business Meet. I hope they got non-police reporting visas. Is anyone doing anything to restore cell phone roaming between India and Pakistan? n

Sophistic & Logic
-This stratagem relies on choosing arguments for your audience rather than for your opponent (populism).
Original text
This is chiefly practicable in a dispute between scholars in the presence of the unlearned. If you have no argument ad rem, and none either ad hominem, you can make one ad auditores; that is to say, you can start some invalid objection, which, however, only an expert sees to be invalid. Now your opponent is an expert, but those who form your audience are not, and accordingly in their eyes he is defeated; particularly if the objection which you make places him in any ridiculous light. People are ready to laugh, and you have the laughers on your side. To show that your objection is an idle one, would require a long explanation on the part of your opponent, and a reference to the principles of the branch of knowledge in question, or to the elements of the matter which you are discussing; and people are not disposed to listen to it. For example, your opponent states that in the original formation of a mountain-range the granite and other elements in its composition were, by reason of their high temperature, in a fluid or molten state; that the temperature must have amounted to some 480 degrees Fahrenheit; and that when the mass took shape it was covered by the sea. You reply, by an argument ad auditores, that at that temperature - nay, indeed, long before it had been reached, namely, at 212 degrees Fahrenheit - the sea would have been boiled away, and spread through the air in the form of steam. At this the audience laughs. To refute the objection, your opponent would have to show that the boiling-point depends not only on the degree of warmth, but also on the atmospheric pressure; and that as soon as about half the sea-water had gone off in the shape of steam, this pressure would be so greatly increased that the rest of it would fail to boil even at a temperature of 480 degrees. He is debarred from giving this explanation, as it would require a treatise to demonstrate the matter to those who had no acquaintance with physics.

Mostly unchanged for 2009, Ford Taurus X photos reveal a versatile family wagon with crossover SUV attributes and three rows of seating. While the default seating capacity is six, with second-row captain's chairs and a two-person split-folding third-row bench, a second-row split bench seat increasing capacity to seven is optional on any trim. With a 3.5L V6 generating 263 hp and 249 lb-ft of torque, the Taurus comes with a conventional 6-speed automatic and front-wheel drive, while AWD is optional. Fuel economy stands at 16 mpg city/24 mpg hwy and 19 mpg combined for the FWD trim level, but AWD drops those numbers to 15 mpg city/22 mpg hwy and 18 mpg combined. The 2009 Ford Taurus X is equipped with plentiful safety features including 4-wheel antilock disc brakes with brake assist, stability control, front-seat side-impact airbags, full-length side curtain airbags, and the SOS Post-Crash Alert System, which honks the horn and turns the flashers if the airbags deploy.

Following an article by The Saratogian, which reports on the Northeast Organic Farming Association 2013 Conference, which will take place in late January, Colle Farmers Market offers their support.
Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) January 07, 2013
On January 7, 2013, Colle Farmers Market responds to the upcoming winter conference which will be held by the Northeast Organic Farming Association. The conference is scheduled for January 25 through 27 in Saratoga Springs, NY.
According to an article published by The Saratogian, 1,300 people are expected to attend the annual conference. The conference will mainly focus on how farmers have successfully dealt with economic and environmental problems they have faced recently, reports the article.
"Keynote speakers are Shinji Hashimoto, leader of the Japanese 'Teiki' (community-supported agriculture) and an organic farmer since 1989; and 2013 Farmer of the Year Scott Chaskey of Long Island, who has long demonstrated resilience despite a changing agricultural landscape, development pressure and weather changes," the article said.
The Saratogian reports that the conference will also include workshops focused on organic farming and screenings of four documentaries about farming. In addition, all conference events will offer organic meals.
Colle Farmers Market applauds the news of the upcoming Northeast Organic Farming Association 2013 Conference, stating that it is important for farmers to exchange ideas in order to make sure the industry continues to progress.
Colle also discusses the film Uncanny Terrain, which is a documentary that will be screened at the conference. The documentary focuses on the effect of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster on Japan's surrounding organic farming community. Although production of the movie is not yet complete, a sneak preview will be screened at the conference. Colle Farmers Market adds that this is an important issue, not only for Japan's farming industry but for the world's agricultural industry as well. Although it is not discussed often in the media, the screening of Uncanny Terrain will hopefully raise awareness for Japanese farmers.
Colle is an E-Commerce enabled farmers market community that is passionate about sustainable consumption and responsible conservation. The Colle movement is dedicated to connecting natural product vendors, organic farmers and all consumers who live an organic and natural lifestyle with the ultimate goal of creating more sustainable farming and consumerism.

Aircraft Ownership
Airplane with no fuel to cross United States
Photos: © Solar Impulse.
Solar Impulse, the sun-powered 25-knot airplane from Switzerland with a wingspan greater than 200 feet, will be flown to Los Angeles for a trip across the United States in 2013. The flight will be announced in December.
This is not the flight around the world that is now planned for 2015. That flight requires a newly designed aircraft now in construction. The scheduled flight was delayed when a main spar broke during testing. In the meantime, an earlier model that flew from Switzerland to Africa and back will be crated and sent to the United States in February. Negotiations are in progress to use facilities at Moffett Field at NASA Ames Research Center, although they are in an early stage.
- Wingspan–208 feet
- Length–72 feet
- Height–21 feet
- Engines– four 10-horsepower electric motors
- Solar Cells–11,268 (including 880 on the tail)
- Weight–3,527 pounds
- Average Flying Speed–38 knots
- Takeoff Speed–24 knots
- Stall Speed–19 knots
- Maximum Cruising Altitude–27,900 feet
The route through the central part of the country is not determined but the end goal is to land at Washington, D.C., and New York. Bertrand Piccard, psychiatrist and pilot who made the first nonstop round-the-world balloon flight, is the initiator and chairman of Solar Impulse. André Borschberg, an engineer and graduate in management science, a fighter pilot and an airplane and helicopter pilot, is the CEO.
The airplane will be assembled in March and test flown in April. After that, the flight is weather dependent. The Solar Impulse does not like turbulence, nor could it survive much of it.
Solar Impulse is an all-electric airplane that recharges its batteries with solar panels. It's already reached 30,300 feet–a world record for a solar-powered airplane, and stayed aloft 26 hours and 10 minutes for another solar-powered record.
A story on Solar Impulse will appear on the CBS show 60 Minutes Sunday, Dec. 2, at 7 p.m.

Over the last few months Enigin have undergone a systemization process to streamline the way which we handle our customer service. This has been driven by our Managing Director Ian, but all of the staff at Enigin have brought into the concept completely and can see how it's helped to make our jobs easier, whilst also delivering a vastly improved customer service experience.
12 Months ago we had 4 business support staff who were on the telephone 8/9 hours a day, personally dealing with distributor enquiries. We found that the majority of the time was spent answering the same questions over and over again. Apart from being inefficient for us, it also meant that Distributors could only get answers to their questions during UK office hours and also they had to queue on the phone to get the support they needed. Since we operate globally, this was inconvenient to a number of our Distributors.
So we hit this issue hard in two ways:
1) We built a 'Knowledge Base' which contains 100′s of answers to common questions raised by distributors. The system was built using our IGLOO system and put together by the Enigin Developers. It is now fully maintained by our support team who add on average 2 articles a day. These new articles are emailed out to our distributors at the end of each working day so they can benefit everyone. We have recorded many 'screencast' videos for the Knowledge Base which have provided to be very popular. They say that 'A picture tells a thousand words', well, each screencast contains upwards of 4500 frames (pictures), so that's 4,500,00 words! and all without actually speaking to us!
Result: Distributors now have access to our complete knowledge 24 hours a day to browse at their leisure. Repeat questions have dropped dramatically and it allows the support team the freedom to work on other projects.
2) The next area which needed attention is how we dealt with emails from Distributors. Historically, distributors have emailed each team member individually with their comments or problems. If the staff member was on holiday or out of the office then this email wouldn't have been seen or replied to. It also meant that the Management team at Enigin had no idea about the volume of questions or which area of the business they related to.
Enter the 'Ticket System'. An online application which allows us to organize incoming questions and enquiries by department and support member. This system had completely changed the way which we work and had improved our workflow immeasurable. Each staff member is alerted when a question is submitted which is in their department and they either answer it or delegate it to someone else who is more specialised in that area. It also allows our Management team to view reports on the questions answer, who's answered them and which one's are outstanding.
Result: Emails are handled efficiently by a member of staff who specialises that that particular area of the business. We aim to have all questions answered within a couple of days, and so far, we're doing pretty well
We have had so many positive comments from our Distributors about our changes and it's always nice to hear that what we are doing is really helping them with their Energy Saving Businesses.
If you are an Enigin Distributor and would like to see a technical video about how our support team work then please visit the following link:

[[Update 1: Added the response of the City of Chicago.]]
The ongoing malaise in the capital markets is shedding some light on one important truth: America has lost her moral compass, leaving her afloat on a wild rapids ride, where the water is muddied by poor rule-making and lackluster legal writing.
Federal Reserve Gov. Sarah Bloom-Raskin sounded the alarm on the issue when she charged the nation's attorneys with improving the representation and warranties clause tied to pools of securitized loans.
To put it simply, the clause is supposed to ensure any party representing the underlying quality of loans sold into securitization is telling the truth about the characteristics of those mortgages.
Yet, many of today's residential mortgage-backed securities lawsuits involve financial firms, investors and bond insurers who are fighting each other, claiming misrepresentations were made on loans, justifying the need for banks to buy them back.
If reps and warranties had been standardized in the first place, Raskin believes much of the litigation plaguing the markets would be nonexistent. Speaking to the Maryland State Bar Association, Raskin told the attorneys, "Your country needs you to tackle it with the same vigor and energy that you have brought to other legal challenges in this housing crisis."
The point of the rep and warranty debate is simple: draft the law clearly and market players have few choices but to follow it.
Under the Raskin theory, drafting the law with clarity and punch makes RMBS players accountable upfront as opposed to later on.
Ancient Greek playwright Sophocles once wrote, "Nobody has a more sacred obligation to obey the law than those who make the law."
But what happens when those drafting laws fail to address various conflicts with existing rules and regulations?
Once such example is the Chicago ordinance that puts financial firms on the hook for the upkeep of properties in foreclosure. The legal questions stemming from the ordinance continue capturing headlines.
The code, which passed with an endorsement from Mayor Rahm Emanuel, will force lenders to pay for maintenance on vacant properties, leaving them potentially responsible for upkeep of a property without having regained full ownership of it, according to one report from Moody's Investors Service.
Yet, legal analysts claim the ordinance could face a constitutional challenge since the requirement to care for a property you don't own is a possible violation of the lenders' equal protection rights under the 14th amendment.
HousingWire reached out to the Chicago City Council they replied back, saying "The City of Chicago believes its foreclosure ordinance is constitutional and enforceable. Recently an amendment to the existing ordinance was introduced for consideration which distinguishes a mortgagee from an owner."
But one thing is sure, the vein of the legal system runs throughout the entire body of the mortgage crisis. Without a respect for what the law says before drafting new ones or what the law means before attacking existing ones, the financial markets will be shaky and disoriented.
Sophocles would not be proud.

Reports: Obama Will Choose Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry as Secretary of State Nominee
The Massachusetts senator reportedly will be the pick to replace Hillary Clinton as the country's top diplomat.
John Kerry will be President Obama's pick to become the next Secretary of State, and replace Hillary Clinton as the nation's top diplomat. The New York Times, among others, reports that the Massachusetts senator and former Democratic presidential nominee will be the selection for the post. Many expected Kerry to be the president's pick after U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice took her name out of the running last week. Rice had been under scrutiny by Republicans in Congress for statements she made in the aftermath of the attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya.

Went for a walk yesterday out back. It's starting to cool down a little, not much but at least it's not in the 80's at 6pm. Came across a few wildflowers, don't know what their called but they were interesting: My Cassia is finally blooming: Blanketflower closeup: Chaste Tree (LeCompte Blue) This is a mulch pile area out back where I would throw the yard waste...with all the rain the EE's took root. American BeautyBerry The berries stay on all winter after the leaves fall off. The turkeys love them. My dogs were going crazy yesterday, had to convince them that these were the good guys. LOL! | |||
Oh my what great pics. Thanks for taking us on your walk. | ||||
Can I come visit? Love all of it! The wild flowers certainly are interesting! I have some beauty berries too, but mine drop off they don't hold to the stem. I just discovered some across the road about 8' tall and LOADED with berries. Your Cassia looks like a giant version of a weed we have here...I'm forever pulling them! Great pics lady!!!

found the triangular one... http://www.spacecoastwildflowe...0_07_01_archive.html Tall elephantsfoot (Elephantopus elatus, Asteraceae) Native http://www.spacecoastwildflowe..._07_01_archive.htmlI love that one!! is that the second bloom on your Chaste tree?.. sure is big and full!! "Gardening Keeps Me Growing!" | ||||
Such wonderful stuff lady!!!! Love to see all the different stuff you can grow down there but could never stand the heat down there. What do the overall gardens look like? You sure have some lovely bright colors! Dreamy! "Those that throw mud, lose ground!" :>) | ||||
Very nice pics, I love Elephant Ears, but you need a lot of space to grow them effectively! Those wild turkeys just crack me up. My dear beloved aunts used to live in Fla. and I've been there many, many times. Have never seen a wild turkey. My aunts had wild ducks on their property to their dismay! Are the turkeys there year round? I would probably do a "head count" weekly to see if the same ones come all the time. How many do you usually have hanging around? What do they eat?Do they reproduce every year and have more babies? Aren't they scared to hang around, close to Thanksgiving??? This message has been edited. Last edited by: Wavy, SPRING HAS F I N A L L Y SPRUNG!!!!! | ||||
Thanks ladies! Sure Karen you can come for a visit, it's cleanup time for me now that the heat is subsiding. hehe. I make a great mojito too! Thanks Toots, Tall Elephants Foot...how do they come up with these names? Yes that is the second bloom on the Chaste tree. I have yet to cut the old seedheads off. Muddy the overall gardens are overgrown and weedy. Haven't been out there all summer. After I get everything tidy then I'll be taking wide angle shots again! LOL! Wavy we do have turkeys year around. I saw them the first year we moved here 9 years ago. It's usually a rafter of 27 or more especially right after they have babies. We have the wild beautyberries, chickasaw plums, poke salad, sparkleberries and other wild seeds that they eat along with the worms, and other bugs they scratch up. Mating season is neat to watch, the big Toms get all puffy and beautiful showing off like a peacock. I can hear the mating calls from inside the house. It's funny...they always seem to show up near Thanksgiving...they have no fear! LOL!This message has been edited. Last edited by: zone9alady, | ||||
What pretty pictures. We can't grow most of the plants that do so well in your area. I have a beautybush but I didn't know that the turkeys like them. Post more of your gardens, I love to see all the different plants. | ||||
Those are gorgeous pictures. Enjoyed the walk...such a wide array of wild flowers. So you enjoy the wild turkeys huh! Here they are a nuisance, but they are fun to watch. Remember my two females, Thelma & Louise. They still show up and scratch around the birdfeeders. I've never seen them near the beautyberry bush though. Can't wait for the wide length shots. ve | ||||
I went out at 11pm last night to turn off the wall fountain, came back in and both dogs kept smelling around my slippers. I thought I had let a frog in when I opened the door. After I walked all the way to the other side of the house and went in the bathroom where there is a light colored rug I saw what the dogs were sniffing...turkey doo-doo! | ||||
They came to get a drink! I'll wait until you get it all cleaned up before I come! Kidding! I've got plenty to do now too! Turkey hunting season doesn't start until March up here. It might be the same down there too. It starts then due to reproduction cycles??? Not sure. "The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion | ||||

With early voting that began Monday, Feb. 25, and stretching through March 15, voters within the city should plan on making two stops to cast their ballots: one stop at city hall to vote for a new council member and another stop at a county precinct to vote on the special-purpose local-option sales tax (SPLOST) referendum.
For early voting on the countywide SPLOST referendum, citizens must go to either the Westside voting precinct or Ringgold voting precinct (Catoosa Hall). The two precincts will be open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. On March 14 these precincts will have extended hours from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
On March 19 (election day) there are five precincts in Fort Oglethorpe where the SPLOST referendum can be voted on: Lakeview, Westside, Boynton, Duncan Park and Constitution Hall. Depending on the county ward where citizens live, that is where they will cast their votes on SPLOST.
"Voting in the city election (for a new council member) will take place at city hall. To vote in the county for SPLOST, Fort Oglethorpe citizens will go to their regular county precinct," said Fort Oglethorpe election superintendent Orma Luckey.
The same goes for absentee ballots. Citizens of Fort Oglethorpe will have to apply for two different ballots: one ballot from the city for the council seat election and one from the county for the SPLOST referendum. Absentee ballots will be taken up to election day.
The last day for early voting will take place on Friday, March 15. The election will take place Tuesday, March 19, and all voting stations will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
For more information about the Catoosa County election schedule, go to catoosa.com/depts/elections.

Still trying to understand the *div*s alignment techniques
Its been months since I wanted to get hold of aligning "div"s correctly across the screen and the vertically. and also align the text inside it.
Another problem I'm facing is with aligning text in an "li" vertically. "vertical-align:middle;" doesn't seem to work :(

Your image link does not work so we can't work on your code.
Aligning text inside anything is a matter of text-align (for left/center/right) and setting a line-height for the text to the same as the height of the containing element (for vertical alignment).
try adding text-align: center; to #hd
Can you make a reduced case in Codepen or provide a link to a live site?

It's too bad campaigns aren't trials, because we could just stipulate that Ed Markey and Steve Lynch, the two Democrats who want to replace John Kerry in the Senate, are self-made guys who grew up in neighborhoods where nobody was born on third base.
This would save a lot of breath and countless trees.
I respect Mr. Lynch but tend toward Mr. Markey. I wish that Mike Capuano had decided to run because I think he would have been a better candidate than either. The main hope is that the conversation will be about the policies they believe in and how they see the role of a senator. As one who has strong views I want to see them reflected in the person I support. Yet, the magic of good governance is in being true to yourself AND getting something done via the political process. It's not easy.
Wow. Massachusetts was an embarrassment with Ted and Liveshot.
Didn't figure it could get worse....But now we have Chief Warren as our "senior" senator, and likely one of these guys as the other ...
Oh my...
When you say "Ted", I guess that you mean the deceased Senator Kennedy. You were friends?
When you say "Liveshot", I'm lost. Is it that gifted columnist at News Corp? Personally, I don't have the time to read dreck. But if it's him, I agree.
When you say "Chief Warren", it seems you mean Senator Warren?? Clever. No, really, very clever.
If you're embarrassed with Massachusetts, there's an easy fix.
Markey, as the establishment candidate, will win easily. Then he will beat the Republican candidate by a wide margin. Then he will run and win a full Senate term. The he will retire and turn the seat over to Joe 3. Then Joe 3 will hold the seat until almost everyone reading this column is dead. Yep, Massachusetts politics is really exciting.
Another content-less piece by another predictable Globe columnist with, predictably, no metaphysics. Incredible1 has it just about right. To round out the picture he need only have added that Markey is a payroll patriot who hasn't held a real job since college.
Kevin...could you refresh your argument against Scott Brown? Whie I know he's sitting this race out for reasons I don't know, he does seem like a good representation of the Massachusetts electorate: Moderate, blue collar roots. I enjoy your mostly thoughtful polemic (you're a columnist, not a reporter) and do value your opinion. Many thanks.

[Part One] 2011 Draft Class Hierarchy
Part One: 2011 Draft Class Hierarchy
by Dean Youngblood The 2011 NHL Entry Draft is fast approaching and analyzing top prospects is in full gear. The 2011 Draft class has been called weak in the past due to the fact that it does not possess that one true "draft stud" that every team covets. However, do not let this years' draft prospects hear that as many of them have made their case to NHL clubs that picking them will not go unnoticed. The top position of this years' draft class has been held by not one, not two, not three but four individuals this past season. On June 24th as the NHL clubs convene in St. Paul, Minnesota, the entire hockey world will be on edge as Edmonton Steps up to the podium for the second consecutive year to make the first overall selection. Who will it be? Only the Edmonton Oilers know that at this point but the following rankings should help you to understand the names that will be thrown around draft tables in the first round. Before we start, a few disclaimers are needed:
1. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Red Deer Rebels (WHL) Position: Centre, Shoots: Left, Height: 6'0", Weight: 164 lbs, Hometown: Burnaby, BC 164GP - 31G - 75A -106P NHL.com Draft Prospect Video Video Nugent-Hopkins was the first overall selection of the 2008 WHL Bantam draft so the Burnaby native will be used to stepping up to the podium first. The WHL`s top playmaking center (75 assists) and third leading scorer (106 points) has been on a tear since the CHL prospects game. RHN has been compared to a number of current and past NHLers including Datsyuk for his hockey vision and Sakic for his shot release. The player comparisons are always nice but in the end, Hopkins-Nugent brings an elite level of puck skills to his game which opens up a lot of space for himself and linemates on the ice. Ryan has become the clear-cut favourite for the first overall pick in this years NHL draft. ETA: 2012-13 Readiness: RHN has the intelligence to play in the NHL immediately but I am sure scouts would prefer to see him bulk up and fill out his 6-foot frame. 2. Adam Larsson, Skellaftea (SEL) Video (Swedish audio) Position: Defenseman, Shoots: Right, Height: 6`3`, Weight: 220 lbs, Hometown: Skelleftea, SWE 37GP - 1G -8A-9P Larsson has been atop the 2011 draft crop for three years now and it is not surprising that he has kept his position among the top three for so long now. Larsson plays a calm, cool and collected game that has often been compared to a young Niklas Lidstrom. Now, being compared to the one of the NHL`s all-time greatest defenseman is hardly fair for an 18-year old but it does seem accurate when describing his approach to the game. Larsson`s offensive game is still relatively unknown but the skills are there to put up points. The 6-foot-3-inch Larsson is already built for the rigors of the NHL and the expectation is that he will likely suit up for whichever NHL club is priviledged enough to select him. ETA: 2011-12 (NHL ready) Readiness: Larsson has the physical tools to step right into a NHL lineup as the 5th or 6th defenseman but some say Larsson may return to the SEL for another season. 3. Gabriel Landeskog, Kitchener Rangers (OHL) Position: Right Wing, Shoots: Left, Height: 6`0, Weight: 207 lbs, Hometown: Stockholm, SWE 53GP-36G-30A-66P NHL.com Draft Prospect Video Video The young Swede (with no trace of an swedish accent) has become a favourite of scouts around the NHL with his comparisons to NHL captains Mike Richards and Jerome Iginla. In all honesty, Landeskog probably plays the most `Canadian game`of all NHL draft eligible players. Landeskog oozes leadership abilities and will surely become a captain for his future NHL club. The Stockholm native plays a complete game with no noticeable holes in his game. Landeskog does have similarities to the swedish icon Peter Forsberg. Gabriel does not have Forsberg`s elite scoring abilities but he does play an aggressive game and he likes to mix it up. Plus, Landeskog can put up the good numbers and is no stranger to fighting. ETA: 2011-12 (NHL ready) Readiness: Landeskog has a lot of team scouts drolling because he is likely the most NHL-ready forward of the draft class. If Gabriel can put together a strong NHL camp, he should find himself skating on an NHL team's third line to start the 2011-12 season. 4. Sean Couturier, Drummondville Voltigeurs (QMJHL) Position: Centre, Shoots: Left, Height: 6`4, Weight: 197 lbs, Hometown: Bathurst, NB 58GP-36G-60A-96P Video Couturier was ranked first among all 2011 NHL eligible skaters to start the season but has seen his draft stock fall over the course of the season. Why? Couturier has not necessarily fallen but moreso, others have passed him with their exceptional play. However, it is important to realize that the strong two-way center brings a level of consistency (at both ends of the rink) as he finished with back-to-back seasons in the Q with 96 points. Couturier's all-around play should be extremely attractive to all of the top drafting teams this summer. Couturier possesses a high-level of hockey IQ, can shoot and pass with the best of them but does have a slow first step in the skating department. Fortunately, skating is a skill that can be improved and Couturier will surely look to improve his skating this summer. ETA: 2011-12 (NHL ready) Readiness: Couturier's game is very mature and is likely to start the 2011-12 NHL season (at least for the 9 game trial) skating among the big boys. 5. Dougie Hamilton, Niagara IceDogs (OHL) Position: Defenseman, Shoots: Right, Height: 6'4, Weight: 187 lbs, Hometown: St. Catharines, ON 67GP-12G-46A-58P NHL.com Draft Prospect Video Video Dougie Hamilton has quickly ascended up the draft boards as he has become somewhat of a unexpected riser over this past season. Hamilton brings a complete package of size and skill (both offensive and defensive). This past season, Hamilton set the new defenseman scoring record for the Niagara IceDogs with 58 points (previously held by Alex Pietrangelo). Hamilton is almost assured to be a very good NHL based on his versatility. Dougie is a very good skater that covers the ice with exceptional lateral movement. If Hamilton fails to display the offensive skills at the NHL level that he has shown this past season the team who drafts him will be able to use him as a very reliable shutdown defenceman. It has been said before, Dougie Hamilton could end up being the steal of this draft class as he possesses a full tool box of skill. ETA: 2011-12 but likely 2012-13 Readiness: As always, a lot depends on the team players are drafted to but Hamilton could step into an NHL roster if he has a strong camp. However, I would not be surprised to see Hamilton get a 9-game stint and return to Niagara to build upon his impressive 2010-11 season. Last edited by Dean Youngblood; 05-03-2011 at 04:35 PM. |
6. Jonathon Huberdeau, Saint John Sea Dogs (QMJHL)
Position: Centre, Shoots: Left, Height: 6'1", Weight: 170 lbs, Hometown: Laval, QC 67GP-43G-62A-105P NHL.com Draft Prospect Video Video Huberdeau continues his surge up the draft ranks as his powerhouse Sea Dogs compete in the QMJHL conference finals. Huberdeau currently sits second in the Q's playoff scoring race with 21 points in just nine playoff games (10G, 11A). Huberdeau is just one of nine Saint John Sea Dogs on the Central Scouting list so some people are concerned about the teammate affect. Ironically, Huberdeau says that one of his favourite players is Mike Ribeiro and his play definitely mimics that of Ribeiro's. Huberdeau has trememdous creativity and is a great playmaker with exceptional hockey IQ. Like Ribeiro, Huberdeau is a "dangler" and good skater that makes his teammates better with crisp, accurate passing. It should be noted that Huberdeau has the ability to play the wing as well which makes him an attractive prospect to many teams as they go shopping this year in St. Paul. ETA: 2012-13 Readiness: Huberdeau needs to fill out his lanky frame so I fully expect his development to be longer. Huberdeau is likely one or two years away at least. 7. Ryan Strome, Niagara IceDogs (OHL) Position: Centre, Shoots: Right, Height: 6'0", Weight: 175 lbs, Hometown: Mississauga, ON 65GP-33G-73A-106P NHL.com Draft Prospect Video Video Interview, Highlight Reel Goal Ryan Strome seems to be one of the bigger question marks in this years' draft class. It appears that some scouts love him while others are a bit weary since he missed most of the 2009-10 season. Strome's production this past season will surely get him drafted in the first round but at which position remains to be seen. Ryan Strome was voted the Most Improved and Best Playmaker in the OHL Eastern Conference Coaches' poll and also tied Ryan Spooner for the Best Stickhandler. Strome's strength as a player are his quick feet and puckhandling abilities but he is not afraid to mix it up with the physical play either. Strome is a very likeable kid and that will surely help his draft stock as the June Entry draft draws closer. There are some scouts who have Strome ranked higher than fellow OHLer Landeskog so it will be interesting to see which team drafts Strome and at what position. ETA: 2013-14 Readiness: Strome will likely follow along the same development path as former OHLer Bryan Little. Little was drafted in the first round (12th overall) in 2006 and then returned for his final OHL season. Strome and Little are both 100+ point producers at the OHL-level and Strome will likely return to Niagara and join a strong team. 8. Ryan Murphy, Kitchener Rangers (OHL) Position: Defenseman, Shoots: Right, Height: 5'10, Weight: 166 lbs, Hometown: Aurora, ON 63GP-26G-53A-79P Coaches Corner Video, More Video In the past two NHL Drafts we have seen two OHL offensive defensemen, Ryan Ellis and Cam Fowler, fall further than where they were "ranked" to be selected. Ryan Murphy should prepare for the same scenario as his NHL future is somewhat unknown. Murphy has world class hockey IQ and skating ability but there will be some NHL teams weary of his size (5'10") and his gambling approach to the game. Murphy plays more like a fourth forward on most shifts in the OHL and that style of play may be difficult to translate to the NHL. Offensively, Ryan Murphy is (by far) the best of his draft class but he will have to show NHL clubs that he can take care of his own end as well. Murphy has stated that his goal was to become better defensively and he looked to improve in that area this past season. Ryan Murphy is currently playing for Team Canada at the World under-18 Championships in Dresdan, Germany. The young defenseman leads all Canadian players with 8 points (3G, 5A) in five games (to date). Murphy also holds a plus-five rating through it's round robin play which should appeal to NHL scouts. Murphy has the offensive talent to be a top 5 selection but could see him fall into the middle of the first round if teams choose not to gamble. ETA: 2013-14 Readiness: Murphy should return to the Rangers next season as their leader. The offensive defenseman will need to improve on his defensive aspect of the game and that might require another year of junior hockey and one or two years of AHL seasoning. 9. Mika Zibanejad, Djurgarden (SEL) Position: Centre, Shoots: Right, Height: 6'2", Weight: 194 lbs, Hometown:Huddinge, SWE 26GP-5G-4A-9P Video of Big Hit, SEL Debut: Brut force to strip opponent and score, Zibanejad beats Larsson and scores The rise of Zibanejad in the rankings over the second half of the season has been rapid, to say the least. The large physical swedish centerman is exactly what many NHL teams covet so it would not surprise me to see Zibanejad drafted well above the tenth position. Zibanejad thrives in the gritty areas of the ice and can simply skate right through the opposition en route to a goal. Mika began the season with Djurgarden's junior team before getting the call up to play with it's Elite League team where he scored five times and added four assists and was often one of the team's best players. The large power forward has a strong work ethic and is extremely strong on the puck. Combine those rare physical attributes with good puck skills and a heavy shot and it sounds like Zibanejad might become one the drafts best prospects. Zibanejad is currently playing for Team Sweden at the Under-18 World Championships and leads his team with four goals and three assists in four games. Zibanejad might be a player that gets selected higher than projected by most experts - prepare yourselves. ETA: 2012-13 Readiness: Zibanejad seems to be that one player who proves everyone wrong. Mika has the size and has already competed professionally but most Swedes prefer to spend multiple years developing in the SEL. The team who drafts Zibanejad will determine his ETA but the earliest we would see Zibanejad is 2012-13. 10. Duncan Siemens, Saskatoon Blades (WHL) Position: Defenseman, Shoots: Left, Height: 6'3", Weight: 200 lbs, Hometown: Sherwood Park, AB 72GP-5G-38A-43P Older Video, Fight Siemens will tell you that his favourite childhood icon was Scott Stevens and if you watch Siemens play, you will not be surprised by that statement. Siemens has made several youtube videos with his fighting skills so the man-child is not afraid to fight. However, Siemens possesses a smooth skating stride and is very good at moving the puck. The Saskatoon alternate captain is exactly the defenseman every NHL team needs in the number two or three slot. Ryan Murphy is ranked ahead of Siemens on this list but I would not be surprised to see an NHL club opt to draft the steady, reliable and composed Siemens ahead of Murphy. Siemens is the less risky of the two prospects ranked later in the top 10. Duncan's offensive upside is limited but he is more than capable of handling powerplay duties and his shot is very effective at finding the net. After Larsson and Hamilton, Siemens is likely the next best defensive prospect (in terms of all-around skills). ETA: 2012-13 Readiness: Physically, Siemens has the size to play in the NHL but he will likely return to the Blades for his fourth junior season. Siemens could see NHL action in 2012-13 but the year following would be a better guess. Check back for the next ten prospects as we continue to follow the 2011 NHL Draft Class.

Great post Deano, looking forward to the rest of the first round as that is where I will be picking. Having # 1 pick this year will be tough to decide. I would hate to miss the next Lidstrom.

Thanks for the comments so far. Yougo, nice vid of Couturier. I must say, I was extremely close to having him ranked 3rd overall ahead of Landeskog and just behind RNH and Larsson but in the end, I just feel as there is slightly less risk with Landeskog. Couturier has the higher upside but the overall game of Landeskog presents less chance of failure. IMO, Couturier and Landeskog are very very very close in the rankings.

Western Meadowlark – State Bird of Kansas, Nebraska, Montana and More
Description: The Western Meadowlark is one of the most recognizable birds of the American prairie. It is the state bird of Kansas, Nebraska, Montana, Oregon and North Dakota. The nine inch Meadowlark has a brown back and wings with black markings. Its underparts are largely bright yellow with black spots and a distinctive black "V" across the chest. Many a traveler along the Kansas turnpike will identify the Western Meadowlark through the intense sun by this black "V". The Meadowlark has white sides and a white face with a dark stripe through the eye and on the cap. Most meadowlarks have a small patch of yellow between the eye and bill. Meadowlarks are identified in flight by large white tail patches. Male and female Meadowlarks are identical. The closely related Eastern Meadowlark is virtually identical to the Western Meadowlark and cannot be identified by sight where their range overlap in the midwest. Habitat/Range/Diet: The Western Meadowlark is found throughout the western United States and is expanding its range east to Michigan and western Ohio. Highest densities occur in the Great Plains states. Meadowlarks are found exclusively in open areas such as meadows, prairies and farmland. They are commonly observed on telephone wires or singing from exposed perches like fenceposts. Meadowlarks feed on the ground, eating insects, grain and weed seeds. Western Meadowlarks build domed nests in which the female lays 3 to 7 white eggs with dark marks. Status: Meadowlarks sometimes gather in winter flocks of 100 or more birds. The Eastern Meadowlark has declined in population recently because habitat loss and because early mowing may destroy nest and eggs. Western Meadowlark Video Western Meadowlark Song |

WINNSBORO — Fairfield Memorial Hospital hosted an educational evening on heart health on Feb. 26 that featured musical entertainment by Susan Taylor, dinner served by Barn Express Cafeteria and testimony from three people who suffered a heart attack and lived to tell about it.
Taylor sang selections from her CD, On The Great Falls Road.
Guests heard personal "heart experiences" from Beth Bonds, Mike Williams and Clyde Sanders, all of whom suffered a heart attack recently and lived to tell about it.
Bonds had her heart attack about a year ago. She is currently undergoing cardiac rehabilitation at Fairfield Memorial Hospital and is doing well.
Williams, the hospital's CEO, had quadruple bypass surgery and open heart surgery about five years ago. He made a miraculous recovery and lives a busy life.
"This was a wonderful event for our community," Williams said. "The hospital is interested in keeping our citizens healthy as much as we are to take care of them when they are ill. We hope to make this an annual event."
Sanders, a member of Winnsboro Town Council, enjoys telling people about his experience several years ago. He shared with the audience that he was a heavy smoker and had never been sick. He now enjoys his lifestyle and likes to encourage others to be "heart healthy."
Dr. James Phillips, a cardiologist with The Columbia Heart group, was the guest speaker. He did a PowerPoint presentation on having a healthy heart and then did a question and answer session with the attendees.
Local elected officials were waiters and waitresses for the banquet. Those participating were Mayor Roger Gaddy, Clyde Sanders and Bill Haslett from the Town Council, County Council Chairman David Ferguson, Fairfield County School District Superintendent J.R. Green, School Board Chairman Beth Reid and School Board member Andrea Harrison.
At the end of the program, guests were invited to "tip" their waiters with all proceeds going to the American Heart Association. A total of $300 was collected. Door prizes were awarded. The waiter with the most "tips" from his or her table received a gift card to Wal Mart. Bill Haslett won that contest.
The sponsors were Fairfield Electric Cooperative, SCANA, TruVista Communications and County Administrator Phil Hinely.
