Redistricting was hijacked by Democrats — give voters a chance to fix the process
In ordinary circumstances, the most politically safe and easy course of action is to do nothing. On the other hand, it's especially risky to foment actions that would alter the outcomes of voter initiatives.
In the case of the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission, it's important to conclude one way or another whether the intent and desires of the voters have been violated. If they have been, we should provide voters the mechanism with which to fix the situation. It's obvious to me the process was hijacked.
Lawmaker: Have voter-approved measures face reauthorization
In 1998, Arizona voters decided to bar the Legislature from making changes to initiatives and referendums without a three–quarters vote in each house. But Rep. Chester Crandell has proposed that any voter-approved measure using public funds later face reauthorization votes by the public.Read More »

I am on python 2.6 for Windows.
I use os.walk to read a file tree. Files may have non-7-bit characters (German "ae" for example) in their filenames. These are encoded in Pythons internal string representation.
I am processing these filenames with Python library functions and that fails due to wrong encoding.
How can I convert these filenames to proper (unicode?) python strings?
I have a file "d:\utest\ü.txt". Passing the path as unicode does not work:
>>> list(os.walk('d:\\utest'))
[('d:\\utest', [], ['\xfc.txt'])]
>>> list(os.walk(u'd:\\utest'))

My friend has low self esteem. How Can I help?
I have a friend, i have only known her for a short time but she is one of those types that she will give you everything until she has nothing left for herself. a little bit too nice. people take advantage of her niceness and walk all over her. Every time i hang out with her she burst's out in tears over something. She has a lot on her plate. 5 kids ranging from 20 to a little over a year. She is in love with someone who never appreciated her in the first place. she finally kicked him out 3 days ago and is now upset she hasn't heard from him in 3 days. she has health problems preventing her from working. and she was sexually abused as a child. I want to help her live a "normal" life if there is such a thing. i think once her self esteem goes up she will be a much happier person. i just don't know what to do to help her!In Topics: Physical Health

Definitions for ucayaliˌu kɑˈyɑ li
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word ucayali
Ucayali River
The Ucayali River arises about 110 km north of Lake Titicaca, in the Arequipa region of Peru. The Amazon River takes its name close to Nauta city, at the confluence of the Marañón and Ucayali rivers. The Ucayali becomes a major tributary of the Amazon River. Navigation was blocked by lengthy sections of rapids. The city of Pucallpa is located on the banks of the Ucayali. The Ucayali, together with Apurímac River, Ene River, and Tambo River, is today considered the main headwater of the Amazon River, totaling a length of 2,669.9 kilometres from the source of the Apurímac at Nevado Mismi to the confluence of the Ucayali and Marañón Rivers: Apurímac River: 730.7 km Ene River: 180.6 km Tambo River: 158.5 km Ucayali River: 1,600.1 km The Ucayali was first called San Miguel, then Ucayali, Ucayare, Poro, Apu-Poro, Cocama and Rio de Cuzco. Peru has fitted out many costly and ably-conducted expeditions to explore it. One of them claimed to have reached within 380 km of Lima, and the little steamer "Napo" forced its way up the violent currents for 124 km above the junction with the Pachitea River as far as the Tambo River, 1,240 km from the confluence of the Ucayali with the Amazon.

Moduli of PT-semistable objects II
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: We generalise the techniques of semistable reduction for flat families of sheaves to the setting of the derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective three-fold . Then we construct the moduli of PT-semistable objects in as an Artin stack of finite type that is universally closed. In the absence of strictly semistable objects, we construct the moduli as a proper algebraic space of finite type.

Taste of Panama City: Walking Tour with Food and Drinks in Casco Viejo
- Panama City food and drinks tour in the Casco Viejo district
- Visit five food and drink establishments with a local guide, who will give you all the inside info about each place
- Sip some of the world's most expensive coffee, savor a piece of organic chocolate and sample four craft beers
- Discover the deliciousness of fresh ceviche, and enjoy a rum cocktail on a rooftop bar during sunset
- Everything you eat and drink is grown, produced or brewed in Panama!
- See historical landmarks like Metropolitan Cathedral in Casco Viejo, a UNESCO World Heritage site
- Small-group tour limited to 12 people provides a more personalized experience
What You Can Expect
Now that you're a bit caffeinated, move on to your next stop, a gourmet food shop that specializes in rich Panamanian chocolate. On your way there, enjoy your walk through the World Heritage-listed Casco Viejo district (also known as Casco Antiguo), passing by historical landmarks like the Arco Chato (Flat Arch).
When you arrive at the food shop, sample a piece of organic chocolate from the Bocas del Toro province, where the chocolate is produced by the Ngöbe, an indigenous group. Then take another walk through Casco Viejo toward your next destination, stopping along the way for photo ops of the stunning Metropolitan Cathedral and white-washed Presidential Palace (Palacio de las Garzas).
Next up is a local microbrewery, where you can enjoy a tasting of four beers — whichever are on tap that day. Take a look at the brewery facilities to see how the local beer is made, and learn a bit about beermaking in Panama from your guide.
Continue your adventure along the malecón (sea wall) to a seafood market, where you'll enjoy some fresh ceviche, a Panamanian specialty that's also common throughout Central and South America. Panamanian ceviche typically consists of small pieces of fresh raw fish cured in lime juice and flavored with chopped onion and cilantro, and it's one of the best things you'll eat all day.
Finally, head to your last stop, a rooftop bar, for a rum cocktail made with 7-year-old Ron Abuelo, which comes from one of Panama's oldest rum producers. As you sip your drink, watch the sunset over the city. Your tour ends here, where you can stay on your own to continue your evening in Panama City, or find perhaps another spot in Casco Viejo to have drinks and dinner.

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time on our walking tour. The spots were all top notch and, even after returning home, we're still talking about all of the fun we had. Thanks again!
August 2015

July 2015
Wonderful short tour. Perfect end to our day. Our guide Russ was energetic, informative and very knowledgeable. Great food.
July 2015
We were quite lucky and the only ones on the trip. Gonzo our guide was a Panamanian who explained us all the details and we had a lot of fun drinking, beer, rum, coffee and having dinner at the fish market. We can really recommend the tour. After the good experience we booked the monkey tour two days later which is also a must!
May 2015
This was a great introduction to Casco Viejo and Panama City. It had just the right amount of walking versus eating and drinking. It was also nice to have all the food and drink included and taken care of so it is well worth the price. We enjoyed chatting with our guide, Ross, who had great info to share as well as the others participating in the tour.
April 2015
Excellent trip with great food and drinks. Our tour guide was attentive.

Loved it. What a fun tour! Our guide, an American expat knew all the ins and outs of the Casco and gave us a view we would never have seen on our own. It was good to go on this tour when we first arrived because it gave us a good perspective of the area. We highly recommend this tour.
December 2014
This is a "must do" tour. I would encourage the tourist to ask if whether the tour can be extended by an hour or two. The tour guide was great!
October 2014
Great experience. While the coffee shop wasn't listed on Google Maps, Platea Restaurant was and it was next door. Jeff, the tour guide, was great. He was informative, patient, and helpful with translation. It was a great tour of local chocolate, coffee, beer, ceviche, and rum as well as Panama's old town, Casco Viejo. Taxi into old town worked best as streets are one way, narrow, and there is almost no parking. There was much to see so I would recommend a longer tour that visits the churches, presidential building, and other sites. This was a walking food tour but an old town historical tour would be equally appreciated. Considering the other Panama tours, this one was the best if you want to walk around Panama. I'd do this again next time I'm in Panama.
October 2014
Fun, informative tour of Casco Viejo. We started out at the Bajareque Cafe, sipped on slow pour Boquete coffee beans ( grown locally) at the ATH, chocolate tasting, micro-brew beer tasting, people watching, fresh ceviche at the Seafood Market/Restaurant area overlooking the Pacific and ended the tour at the rooftop bar of Tantalo sipping ginger infused mojitos watching the sunset over the city... it's a really relaxed tour and you're free to have dinner post tour at the many restaurants in the area.

[0001] 1. Technical Field
[0002] The present invention relates to microprocessors and, in particular, to mechanisms for resetting the machine states of processors.
[0003] 2. Background Art
[0004] Reset refers to the mechanism by which a computer system is put into a reference state. A computer system may be reset when it is first turned on, or an operating computer system may be reset in response to events, such as the occurrence of certain error conditions. At reset, the central processing unit (CPU or processor) of the computer system is typically put into a particular machine state. For a computer system that does not support functional redundancy checking (FRC), this state may be defined "loosely". For example, a reset pin may force a relatively small fraction of the processor nodes, e.g. latches, flip flops and the like, to specified logic states, with the states of the remaining nodes left indeterminate. For such non-FRC systems, the indeterminate states of the unspecified nodes have no impact on the visible results produced by the processor at its output pins. Such processors may be more difficult to debug, but the problem is still relatively manageable.
[0005] For processors that implement FRC, the reset state can have a significant impact on debug, verification and operation. One mechanism for implementing FRC replicates the instruction execution cores of a processor, runs the same instruction code on each processor core and compares results from the different cores at one or more stages of execution. If a discrepancy is detected, the computer system enters an error-handling mode, which may require reset of one or both pipelines. Current processing technologies allow the replicated cores to be implemented on a single processor die (multi-core processors).
[0006] The points of comparison between results from the different execution cores form the FRC boundary. The FRC boundary typically includes many more signals than appear on the processor's input/output (I/O) pins to provide reliable checking. The machine states of a processor that implements FRC are thus examined at a significantly finer level of detail than those of a non-FRC processor. Indeterminate states in the nodes of one or the other execution core can lead to unnecessary mismatches at the FRC boundary.
[0007] One strategy for addressing this problem is to run a reset code module in response to a reset event. The reset code steps the processor through a precise sequence of operations that force targeted processor nodes to specified logic states. More nodes may be driven to specified states by using ever larger and more complex reset codes, but developing, debugging and validating such reset codes is very costly.
[0008] The present invention address these and other problems associated with generating deterministic reset states for processors.
[0009] The present invention may be understood with reference to the following drawings, in which like elements are indicated by like numbers. These drawings are provided to illustrate selected embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
[0010]FIG. 1 is a flowchart providing a high level view of a reset operation typical of a non-FRC processor.
[0011]FIG. 2 is a block diagram of one embodiment of a computer system suitable for implementing the present invention.
[0012]FIG. 3 is a block diagram representing one embodiment of the reset module shown in FIG. 2.
[0013]FIGS. 4A and 4B are block diagrams showing embodiments of a reset module driving multiple scan chains in parallel and serial configurations, respectively.
[0014]FIG. 5 is a flowchart representing on embodiment of a method in accordance with the present invention for establishing the reset state of a processor.
[0015] The following discussion sets forth numerous specific details to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. However, those of ordinary skill in the art, having the benefit of this disclosure, will appreciate that the invention may be practiced without these specific details. In addition, various well-known methods, procedures, components, and circuits have not been described in detail in order to focus attention on the features of the present invention.
[0016] The machine state of a processor is determined by the states of its nodes. These nodes include the voltages on latches, flip-flops and like components of various storage and control logic of the processor. A reset mechanism places a processor in a known machine state before the processor is allowed to begin executing code freely. This specified starting point ensures that the processor's output is reliable and reproducible.
[0017] A non-FRC processor may operate reliably by driving a relatively small number of its many nodes to specified states. The unspecified nodes do not affect the results generated by the processor once it begins operating after reset. The nodes that are required to be in specified states may be handled through a hardware reset tree and a relatively modest reset code. The reset code may be stored in firmware accessible to the processor on reset.
[0018]FIG. 1 is a flowchart representing a reset operation for a non-FRC processor. A reset signal is detected 110 by, for example, asserting a voltage level on a processor pin (reset pin). The reset signal is propagated 120 down a reset tree to drive various nodes of the processor to specified states. Propagation of the reset signal typically reaches only a small fraction of the nodes of a processor. Even for a non-FRC processor, the number of nodes reached through a reset tree is generally not sufficient to ensure that the processor provides reliable results when it begins operations. For these processors, control transfers 130 to an entry point for reset code indicated by a RESET vector. The processor executes 140 the reset code to drive additional nodes to specified states. Some processors may employ resettable latches at all or most nodes that require specification on reset, which reduces or eliminates the reset code required.
[0019] As noted above, the minimum reset state necessary to provide reliable, reproducible results for a processor that implements FRC is significantly larger than that necessary for a non-FRC processor. The present invention provides a flexible mechanism for establishing a reset state in an FRC processor.
[0020]FIG. 2 is a block diagram of one embodiment of a computer system 200 in which the present invention may be implemented. Computer system 200 includes one or more multi-core processors 210, a chipset or system logic 270, main memory 280, a non-volatile memory 290, one or more peripheral devices 294. Chipset 270 controls data transfers among processor(s) 210, main memory 280, non-volatile memory 290, and peripheral devices 294. Computer system 200 is provided to illustrate various features of the present invention. The particular configuration shown is not necessary to implement the present invention.
[0021] The disclosed embodiment of processor 210 includes first and second execution cores 220(1) and 220(2), respectively, a reset module 240, an FRC checker 250, and a test access port (TAP) 260. Each execution core 220 includes one or more scan chains 230 that may be accessed through a port 260. For one embodiment of system 200, port 260 may be a test access port (TAP) as specified by IEEE standard 1149.1 and its revisions. FRC checker 250 represents the FRC boundary for the disclosed embodiment of processor 210. As indicated in the figure, the FRC boundary is internal to the die on which processor 210 is formed, where it can receive signals reflecting the state of data from execution cores 220.
[0022] Reset module 240 controls scan chains 230 in response to a reset signal. As discussed below in greater detail, reset module 240 uses scan chains 230 to force various nodes of execution cores 220 that are accessible through scan chains 230 into specified states. Reset module 240 is shown as a single unit for convenience. Embodiments of system 200 may include a reset module 240 for each execution core 220 or for different subsets of execution cores 220 if processor 210 includes more than two execution cores 220.
[0023]FIG. 3 shows in greater detail one embodiment of reset module 240 and scan chain 230. Scan chain 230 includes processor nodes 350(1)-350(j) (generically, nodes 350) that are connected in series through a data line DATA and a clock line CLK. Processor nodes 350 represent latches, flip-flops, and comparable devices for storing data and signals that accompany instructions in process by execution core 220. Generay, the nodes included in a scan chain are selected from the execution, staging and control logic of processor 210 to provide control points that may be programmed and monitored for testing/debugging a processor. For example, a node or sequence of nodes may specify a state or data register for the processor.
[0024] For the present invention, scan chain 230 may include additional nodes 350 selected to provide a more deterministic reset state for processor 210. During testing/debug, scan chain 230 allows data and/or instructions to be loaded into selected nodes 350. Processor 210 is then stepped through execution cycles and values in various nodes 350 may be captured for analysis. A typical scan chain may include thousands of such nodes and an execution core may have multiple scan chains. During RESET, scan chain 230 provides an additional function. Embodiments of processor 210 may include scan chains 230 that are used exclusively for debug/validation, exclusively for reset or for both debug/validation and reset.
[0025] The disclosed embodiment of reset module 240 includes a clock mux 310, a clock mode selector 320 and a RESET pattern generator 330. Clock mode selector 320 detects a reset condition and provides a signal to a control input of clock mux 310. Clock mux 310 provides a clock signal to the clock line (CLK) of scan chain 230, responsive to the signal from selector 320. For example, if processor 210 is in its normal operating mode, clock inputs (C) of processor nodes 350 are driven by a core clock signal (C_CLK). If a reset condition is triggered, nodes 350 are driven by a scan clock signal (S_CLK). Generally, S_CLK will have a lower frequency than C_CLK due to the physical limitations of scan chain circuitry. For the disclosed embodiment of reset module 240, mode selector 320 triggers clock mux 320 to provide S_CLK to nodes 350 in response to a reset signal, and C_CLK to nodes 350 if no reset signal is detected.
[0026] Reset pattern generator 330 provides a bit pattern to the data line (DATA) of scan chain 230, using S_CLK. The bit pattern is driven to nodes 350 of scan chain 230 to put them in a deterministic state. For example, reset pattern generator 330 may output a string of 1's, a string of 0's or a string including some pattern of 1's and 0's, e.g. 101010101 . . . For many nodes, the exact values driven matter less than the fact that as a result of reset module 240, each node 350 on scan chain 230 will be in a defined state. By applying the same bit pattern to both execution cores 220 of processor 210, the reset states of corresponding nodes 350 are identical. This reduces the potential for discrepancies between the reset machine states of execution cores 220, making their combined behavior more predictable. The likelihood of FRC checker 250 detecting a result mismatch attributable to differences in the reset machine states of execution cores 220 is greatly reduced. The more extensively scan chain 230 cover nodes 350 of processor 210, the less opportunity there is for such discrepancies to arise.
[0027]FIG. 4A is a block diagram representing a reset system 400 in which reset module 240 drives a parallel configuration of scan chains 230(1)-230(n). Reset system 400 allows nodes 350 of scan chains 230(1)-230(n) to be placed in their reset states in parallel. For example, for dual core processor 210, n=2, and corresponding nodes 350 in scan chains 230(1), 230(2) of execution cores 220(1), 220(2), respectively, may be driven to their reset states in parallel. Of course, separate reset modules 240 may be used for each execution core 220 and the same result will result provided pattern generators 330 are properly matched.
[0028]FIG. 4B is a block diagram representing a reset system 450 in which reset module 240 drives a series configuration of scan chains 230(1)-230(k). The disclosed configuration may be useful, for example, within a given execution core 220, since each execution core 220 may have multiple scan chains 230.
[0029] Hybrids of systems 400 and 450 may also be implemented, in which reset module 240 drives scan chains 230 in various combinations of parallel and serial configurations. For example, reset module 240 may drive corresponding scan chains 230 of each execution core 220 in parallel, while driving different scan chains 230 within each execution core in series. That is the first scan chain in execution cores 220(1)-120(n) may be driven in parallel, followed by the second scan chains in execution cores 220(1)-120(n) et seq.
[0030]FIG. 5 is a flow chart representing one embodiment of a method 500 for resetting the execution cores of a multi-core processor. A reset signal, triggered by, for example, a cold start (cold reset) or an FRC mismatch (warm reset) is detected 510. Responsive to the reset signal, nodes on scan chains of each execution core are driven 520 to specified states. For example, a reset module applies a scan clock to the nodes of the scan chain and an associated pattern generator drives a bit pattern onto the nodes. For an FRC processor, the same bit pattern drives corresponding scan chains in each execution core. Typically, a reset signal is propagated 530 to any nodes on a hardware reset tree to drive them to specified states. Further, reset code, if present, is executed 540 to drive additional nodes to their reset states.
[0031] For one embodiment of method 500, the source of the reset event is checked 550. If the reset event is an "external reset" such as a cold reset or other platform generated reset, a reset algorithm may be executed and a rendezvous state entered 560. The reset algorithm may include, for example, tests of the processor, system components, and the like. If the reset is an internal reset, e.g., in response to an FRC mismatch, method 500 may execute a correction routine 570 to address the source of the mismatch and return 580 to execution at the point at which it was interrupted.
[0032] For one embodiment of computer system 200, processor(s) 210 may be configured in a high reliability mode or a high performance mode. The mode may be selected when system 200 is booted. Some embodiments of system 200 may be able to convert between modes on the fly, e.g. after boot. For the high reliability mode, FRC checker 250 is activated and execution cores 220 operate on identical code streams to implement FRC. For the high performance mode, FRC checker 250 is deactivated, and execution cores 220 operate on different code streams, effectively doubling the throughput of processor 210. For this embodiment of computer system 200, reset mechanism 100 may be implemented on reset if the processor is in high performance mode, and reset mechanism 500 may be implemented on reset if the processor is in high reliability, i.e. FRC, mode.
[0033] There has thus been provided a mechanism for establishing the reset state of a processor, using scan chains. In response to a reset event, a reset module drives specified bit patterns onto the scan chains to set the states of the component nodes (latches, flip-flops, and the like). For multiple execution cores in FRC mode, identical patterns on driven onto corresponding scan chains in each execution core. The resulting reduction in unspecified nodes provides greater control over the reset machine state of the processor. For an FRC processor, this translates to a lower likelihood of FRC mismatches attributable to indeterminate node states.
[0034] The disclosed embodiments have been provided to illustrate various features of the present invention. Persons skilled in the art of processor design, having the benefit of this disclosure, will recognize variations and modifications of the disclosed embodiments, which none the less fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Senator Markey Introduces Bill to Create a Special Envoy for LGBT Rights in U.S. State Department
June 13, 2014 by Remington Gregg, Legislative Counsel
Despite all of the progress made on LGBT equality in the United States, on a daily basis, LGBT people around the world face violence, discrimination and even death. The United States can do more. And to help make that happen, today, Senator Edward Markey (D-MA) introduced a bill that would create a special envoy for LGBT rights in the U.S. State Department. In addition, the International Human Rights Defense Act would, among other responsibilities, coordinate LGBT policies for all bureaus and offices of the U.S. State Department and in the international programs of other federal agencies; represent the United States in diplomatic matters relevant to the human rights of LGBT people; and work to ensure that the needs of LGBT people seeking resettlement and protection are incorporated into federal government policy.
Senator Markey said at the bill's introduction: "By fostering a coordinated effort across the federal government and relevant agencies, we can meet the enormous challenge before us and work to ensure equality for all people around the globe."
In a world where it is still a crime to be gay in more than 80 countries – and where homosexuality is punished by death in seven – it is now more important than ever that the United States develop a comprehensive strategy for addressing LGBT discrimination abroad and make LGBT human rights a foreign policy priority. HRC President Chad Griffin applauded the bill's introduction: "For the United States to hold true to our commitment to defending the human rights of all people around the world, we must stand with the LGBT community in their struggle for recognition and equality everywhere."
The protection of LGBT rights globally is not only a moral imperative, but a necessity in our interconnected world. LGBT Americans who work for American business that have strong LGBT protections are hesitant to take new jobs in countries that criminalize them just for being who they are.
That's why HRC worked with Senator Markey's office in drafting the bill and why HRC supports it. We look forward to working with Senator Markey's office and our coalition partners to pass this important step in securing LGBT rights around the world.
The International Human Rights Defense Act, which has twenty-four original co-sponsors in the U.S. Senate, is supported by Amnesty International USA, Council for Global Equality, RFK Center for Human Rights, Freedom House, Human Rights First, American Jewish World Service, National Center for Transgender Equality, International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission, National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, Advocates for Youth, and MassEquality.
HRC's fact sheet on the bill is available here.

DEFINITION of 'Tax Avoidance'
The use of legal methods to modify an individual's financial situation in order to lower the amount of income tax owed. This is generally accomplished by claiming the permissible deductions and credits. This practice differs from tax evasion, which is illegal.
BREAKING DOWN 'Tax Avoidance'
Most taxpayers use some forms of tax avoidance. For example, individuals who contribute to employer-sponsored retirement plans with pre-tax funds are engaging in tax avoidance because the amount of taxes paid on the funds when they are withdrawn is usually less than the amount that the individual would owe today. Furthermore, retirement plans allow taxpayers to defer paying taxes until a much later date, which allows their savings to grow at a faster rate.

California's landmark Global Warming Solutions Act, Assembly Bill 32 ("AB 32"), suffered a major setback on Friday, March 18, when a California superior court judge ruled that the state did not adequately consider alternatives when developing its implementation plan. The decision in Associated Irritated Residents v. California Air Resources Board (CARB) closely mirrors the court's February tentative ruling.
The court concluded that CARB failed to meet the procedural requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") in adopting its cap-and-trade regulations, which are scheduled to go into effect in 2012. In particular, the court held that CARB failed to adequately describe and analyze alternatives in its Scoping Plan, specifically with regard to its justification for a cap-and-trade program; and (2) improperly began implementing the Scoping Plan prior to completing its CEQA-required environmental review process. The court held in favor of CARB on all substantive challenges to promulgating its regulations in compliance with AB 32.

LA Kings Right Wing Prospect Brandon Kozun Is Finally Growing Up

Well firstly, Toffoli isn't Kozun, and theya re two different types of players. Usually he gets into the line up when Penner is out, and where does Penner play? With Carter and Richards often, so likely DS doesn't want to juggle the other lines.
Secondly, I was also referring to regular NHLers, which Toffoli isn't. When Toffoli gets to be a regular next year, I wouldn't be surprised to see him spending some time on the 3rd line unless his game is just so advanced that he can hold his own on a scoring line, which we could use since Penner is likely gone after the season.
A third factor to consider is that Toffoli is a prospect of the likes we haven't seen in a forward in years. A kid who can score goals like crazy. When was the last time we had a kid who could slide into the line up (whether from Europe or from Manchester) and look excellent immediately on the top two lines for an extended period of time (not for a game or two)? Kopitar? That's years ago. Toffoli is a rare treat.
Most of our prospects who have or who will be getting a recall will play largely on the 3rd or 4th lines. That will happen with Kozun, Vey, Pearson, etc. It's a combination of two things; number one, our top two lines are pretty much set, especially if we can lock up Brown long-term and Toffoli cements that 2nd line winger slot. Number two, third and fourth line gives players more sheltered minutes, and against lighter checking players. Odds are they won't get overwhelmed playing constantly against the other teams best players, outside of a few occassions.
Honestly, it's the smart way to bring up kids, let them play where they can succeed, in limited dosages. Really, that's what the Kings are doing this year with Toffoli, letting him play at times, but also making him eat popcorn in the pressbox with Richardson too. He's not being overwhelmed and will be acclimatized a bit better should he have to play in the playoffs due to an injury.
I agree (as usual) and want to add that Stamkos is a great example of bringing a scoring forward along in the same manner. His first season he would play and sit, play and sit and then sit until he had a handle on the how to play in the NHL and they had the ability to make a permanent spot for him. Stamkos was handled perfectly and TT is being done in a very similar manner.
On D you can use VV as an example of how it is done. When they are ready under the best circumstances you bring them up with sheltered minutes and D partners and then ease them into their spots.
One of the things I like about the way that DL brings our kids up and onto our team (when he does so) is that we place all of our concern into bringing the kid up at the right time. VV would have been the Calder winner if he had played all 82 games last season imo.
DL knew that VV was very close to ready and could have made room for him early on but waited until the right situation came along. He wasn't concerned about VV possibly losing out on being rookie of the year as much as he was on continuing to develop him into a great player.
TT is being brought along correctly and both Vey and TP will be too. There may not be any set rule on when but how seems to be pretty easy when you know what your doing.
That is what makes the Kozun situation frustrating to me but as always I may question some of the decisions that DL and co make but I support them entirely.

Hi everybody
Because we haven't been on tour for a little while and we like playing live we thought we'd do a couple of gigs in August but only in two biblically important places so….
We are delighted to announce that we are playing SOUTHAMPTON and GUILDFORD on AUGUST 6TH and 7TH.
These will be our last ones before Reading and Leeds so come along if you fancy it. Tickets are available from the following links.
SOUTHAMPTON – http://joiners.vticket.co.uk
GUILFORD – http://www.seetickets.com/event/little-comets/the-boileroom/896242
Thanks a lot

Don't worry this isn't the name of a new single or anything, but what a choice it would be if it was. We've actually worked with both Cheeky and Big Fave before but it didn't amount to anything. Maybe that's where we've been going wrong if you'll pardon the pun.
We've been dotting about all over the place the last couple of weeks but most of it has been under the radar. Too much time has been spent in Mickey's garage which turns into a sauna without the perks from June-September. The new songs are gradually starting to emerge so all is good in that regard!
The main reason for this email is that we have been shortlisted for live band of the year by AIM – the Association of Independent Music. We're very proud of our independence so it is lovely to be included for this award. We are on the list amongst some pretty special live bands so please have a look at the following list and either a) vote for the band you actually like best or b) stick a cheeky vote in for us.
BEST LIVE ACT TO VOTE CLICK HERE: http://bitly.com/bestliveact2015
In an honest sense we think that we should win because of all the bands here we have a) the best looking bass player, b) the best-pound-for-pound live snare sound, c) some decent songs, and d) a good attitude.
That's it really, enjoy the summer.

Hello everybody,
The main reason for this blog is to say a huge thank you to every person who has supported our third album and helped it to reach number 31 in the UK album charts.
Your support is the reason why we are able to function as full-time songwriters and your faith and loyalty lets us really just focus on the task of making music. It is such a relief to know that you give our music a fair listen, without preconception, before making an honest decision as to whether you like it or not. We are completely appreciative of this.
Whether you have pledged, or downloaded, attended a gig or sent a message of goodwill – thank you
Me, Mickey, Matt and Steve had a lengthy meeting last December in a pizza shop in Banbury just before Christmas 2013 and decided two things: that we wanted to release music ourselves, totally independently and that we would try and make the next year our most productive ever.
We (I say we but in reality I mean Mickey), wanted to record and release 3 EPs and an album before the end of 2014, this was despite the fact that we currently had NO songs recorded and Mickey was due to become a Dad for the second time in March. Luckily we quickly revised our plan.
In setting up the little label we really wanted to learn about the machinations of releasing music but also to make sure that every aspect of what we did was treated with care and attention – without the distraction of ££$$$PROFIT$$£££. Logically we knew that having an office in the house (or a pizza shop!), recording in a garage, and creating videos and music ourselves (along with getting Mr and Mrs Coles to act as our distributors-to-the-power-ten from a house in sunny Jarrow) would make our overheads next to nothing – selling 100,000 albums was therefore never a goal – it could only ever be a byproduct, and without this pressure we happily set to work.
I think we all from the start had the idea of maybe having a top 40 album as a target – we'd never achieved it before despite the advantages of being helped by both major and independent labels, and so we really did have a point to prove in that – why can't you do it yourself.
We have had a lot of help and support along the way from Steve and Amber our agents, Mr. Steve Tilley, AIM, Believe and our families – but we still feel like we have grafted.
I want to avoid this blog being over-sentimental but we aren't often people who enjoy the moment and we do all feel that this one is something to cherish.
Mind you, we've already started planning the next one
what do you think?

Hello everybody,
Hopefully you are well
Our new album Hope is Just a State of Mind was released on Monday into the world. At the start of last year we all sat down together to plan this release – doing everything ourselves: from making cups of tea, to choosing packaging, creating artwork to writing the songs. We had a surreal little target of a top 40 album.
We don't often place much emphasis on numbers or charts put we really wanted to attempt something that so far had eluded the record labels we had worked with – almost taking our independence to an illogical extreme. A lot of this was based on people like you – people who have supported our music for years and years in many different forms. It gives us a great deal of confidence as song-writers that we have an open minded audience who seem to judge music on its merits and not on perception. You either like it or you don't. This total honesty is something we very much appreciate.
Yesterday we received the news that the album is currently sitting at number 18 in the midweek charts – already due to the fact that yet again, you have been incredibly supportive of our music.
It would be truly fantastic to keep the album where it is, so all we would ask is that (if you haven't already purchased the album) you might follow the link below, and if you like what you hear then maybe spend a couple of pennies!
If not no worries

I think that this is really the most emotionally honest song that I've ever written, and also one of the simplest – it is just a message to my little boy William: my hopes for him. It's a very optimistic tune and took place so late on in the recording of the album, that it became clear that this was the song to open the album.
We only realised once we'd finished recording it that it doesn't really have a standard form – our songs often follow a particular pattern A B A B C A B, where A would be a verse and B chorus, C coming as a middle 8 or lift towards the end: but this song ignores it all, and the fact we weren't really aware of it that until we'd completed it shows (in theory) that it works…
The form for this song is A B C D E, which is quite bizarre but I think it just happened during the writing process as there wasn't a point where we imported an idea from elsewhere, it just all occurred naturally.
Once again Jack from Bwani Junction recorded the drums and I remember it was a really beautiful session – I don't use that word lightly, and I definitely feel Jack put a lot of feel and emotion into the drum and combined with Mickey's spacious drum sound, it gives the song a great deal of depth – I love the drumming on this song….
Building upon the percussion was quite easy – we worked on each section individually and the parts didn't need too much sculpting. Before long the middle of the song was formed with only the beginning and the end remaining. All the acoustic guitars were then recorded in Mickey's kitchen, and even though the fingerpicked, sparse sound isn't really something we've done before I think it bookends the song nicely.
There were then just the vocals to do…. I normally don't enjoy recording the vocals as I am quite mathematical about it – I do a certain amount of takes and (to be honest) over-think certain notes that often I create a stress about nothing, but I think the subject matter of this song really helped and it was actually amazing to sing – it just felt right. Often for us, aspects of recording (asides when I do guitar takes) are quite controlled – but this was like singing a song live and I had a real adrenaline rush when recording it. Sometimes being emotionally unhinged when you are recording a song has quite an impact when you listen back later – it's normally unusable, but in this case it worked perfectly. Again, the backing vocals seemed to stick to the lead part well and recording them was a bit of a doddle.
For the beginning of the song, we again did something quite different for ourselves – Mickey really wanted the start to be one-take and conversely the last thing we recorded for the album, so on the 27th of December we set up in Mickey's kitchen. I know the start is quite strange but he wanted to capture the element of live performance – I take a drink from the tap, then walk to the microphone, pick up my guitar and play. As with the end it is quite empty but works nicely I think….
The final additional part that I want to mention is the spoken section. When me and Mickey were little our Mam and Dad would set up a tape recorder when we played just for memories sake – I suppose it was the 1980s version of an iphone, and I remember listening back to these recordings when I was older. I've always wanted to do this with me and Mickey's little boys, William and George who are the best of friends: overlaying it with some of our music.
One Saturday afternoon we did just that, and then over the course of an evening I loved editing this 2 hour long recording into the conversation you can hear on the song. That very good, oh-oh, oh no, where are you? Back home. Me back. Sit down here. OK….. It's funny, but it's my favourite bit of any song we've ever recorded, and it's not really us haha….
I suppose the thing I am proud of with our music is the fact that we've always followed our hearts and stayed true – we do what we love, and we work very hard but we've never compromised ourselves for it. If I could pass one message onto my little boy, other than how much we love him, is just to be true to himself and keep an open mind – there's always more to learn…
Cut all the pages
from a magazine
I must preserve
the right to dream of
my boy William
Power to the unions
Cannot save my soul
I've lost my faith in
rock and roll: tell it to
my boy William.
When you reach that low
At your nadir
When they creep up beside you
And whisper nothing in your one true ear
I hope you resist
And you stand so tall
And that grief will desert you
Leave a message on your bedroom wall
There's more to this than meets the eye my love
Don't drown your dreams stay true but
Try as I might
There's much to learn and much to sow my love
But try as you might
All is burning
All is burning
All is burning now.

If you really want to know what this song is about then please visit this link and have a read.
I remember hearing Maria Stubbings' story while listening to a radio 4 interview with her brother a few years ago – it was a really moving piece of radio. He was passionate, eloquent, emotional and intelligent in the way he spoke about something that was clearly of total importance to himself and his family.
Like with Salt, those words stuck with me and I knew when we started to play with Wherewithal that it was an appropriate song.
Domestic violence is a very important issue for me, especially as I feel that our society could do more on many levels from governance to policing, media representation to education.
Again all I hoped when i wrote the lyrics for this song is that I used appropriate language.
Musically, Mickey was very worried that this song was a bit too 80s, especially with his little Sexual Healing chorus guitar part, but other than that it wasn't too difficult to record. He sometimes gets these very personal hang ups about a song that the rest of us can't really hear (we don't really play "Her Black Eyes" anymore because he is convinced we have changed the key and not told him), but once he gets past them it all follows on like it normally would.
The main problem ending up being working out a suitable baseline – the guitar part was written first and so does the job that a standard bass part would do, it doesn't leave a great deal of space in which the bass can operate. Also, we really wanted to make sure that the two verses were adequately delineated – sometimes our music can sound a little repetitive melodically so we like to bring in another "theme" when a second verse happens. A few slides and weird noises later it was sorted.
Weird noises are our standard go-to when we have a problem: it normally involves Mickey having a cuppa while I record about 10 guitar takes. He'll then come back, shake his head and then spend 6 hours knitting together something coherent from what I've done – so much so that it bears no resemblance to my original part. Like giving Leonardo Da Vinci a ball of wool and him turning it into a sculpture of an eagle. Mickey describes this as "taking what you do and making it a million times better". This offends me greatly but I suppose I just have to deal with it….
Jack Fotheringham plays the drums again on this song. We loved working with Jack – he drums with Bwani Junction who we all think are the greatest band who aren't massive in the world. They don't use any tricks live – everything you see is them. Very few bands do that anymore and this integrity and fullness of sound tells you everything you need to know about their musicianship and songwriting….
I know that's a bit of a ramble to finish off on, but hey ho. I suppose it's ok to go sideways from time to time, works for crabs.
Picture me enchained like a memory
And I won't waste, I won't waste
Figure you'd be safe, calling the police
They won't wait, they won't wait up
Shaking like a leaf, as a simile
Doesn't begin to describe
Every little failing is annuity
To the one in four who survive
Funny how the ending mirrors my life
Sharp love from sharp eyes
Buried under coats, needing all relief
I won't wake, I won't wake up
I've been hiding under stairs: I've been there for a while
All temerity is stuck on the hem of your guile
You think emotional appeasement is just a part of the style
When a victim needs to trust in the system to fight
And the truth is I can't trust you anywhere
And the truth is I can't trust you anywhere
On the tip of your cap is a badge
Semper vigilo: you never ever did that though
And I can't trust you anywhere
No I can't trust you anywhere

Me, Mark and Mickey used to get up at 6am in the morning to rehearse. We'd meet at a little school in South Gosforth to collect our gear, put it in the van and drive to a Tesco to get breakfast. I'd get croissants but pay for carrots (totally accidentally….) and we'd toddle off down to our rehearsal room arriving for about 7am – after shouting endearing obscenities at a local accounting firm. By the fourth week of doing it, they used to look forward to it I think. We also used to play a game where we tried to guess the lollipop-lady-on-Osbourne-Road's name, but no-one ever got there.
Before long we roped poor Matt in and started this band….
Our reasons were good and we just played music together and it felt like magic at times. It was dark and intense and often fraught but I'll always remember those happy days in Davy Burn's ramshackle garage.
We were very driven then – we wanted to be in a band and tick off every single box on a list of what a band could do, and so the songs we wrote had to be hook friendly, record label inducing, 3 minute bits of pop…. Like a formula. But I think we struggled with this so came out with our own take on it….
Now, we've come back round to writing songs just because we like to and so the song Formula was born. I think it is meant to be a history of our band – and a bit of a piss-take of our selves. Bits of the song are serious – we have put seven intense years into this, and at some point this will take its toll.
Me and Mickey wrote it in summer, just messing around with the idea of playing something which was quick and immediate and hooky. The only way we could get away with the eventual result was to make the song a riposte to the idea of contriving but also a little look back on the journey we've been on.
Mark Harle plays the drums on this and I'm really glad – it's always lovely to work with Mark and just see him for a bit, plus his drumming is pretty perfect for a song like this and it has a nice symmetry with the lyrics to have him bashing and tickling.
Wakeful aching early mornings
Prise the desperation from your hands
Leaning out of bedroom windows
Books and hooks we steal from last night's bands.
Take a girl's name for the chorus
Repetition and repetition
Write it on a piece of paper
Add some words that I don't understand.
Just drinking formula
Every think is wasted
We're drinking formula
Every think is wasted
Seven years:
Seven years of implication
Critically self-effacing
Unaware of hours we've wasted
Far from here,
Soluble from weeks spent
Drinking formula
Every think is wasted
We're drinking formula
Every think is wasted.
Cold and clear
Sentiment is spent
It's closure
I'm a tear
Rolling down
An endless cheek
A metaphor
I'll disregard
With total mercy.
You're drinking formula
Every think is wasted.

Between me and Mickey, this was one of the songs that lyrically we disagreed on the most. As usual the music arrived along before the content, in a lovely quick way. Every part we put down seemed to fit and I think the myriad of parts in the verses really knit well together. Amongst this the only word that stuck while putting down a guide melody was "effete" (which I pronounce in my own anglo-saxon way haha, but less about that…). So that's what I wanted the song to be about – this word.
Mickey thought that the song had a lot of beauty about it musically and so should carry a similar subject matter (it's not often that he mentions lyrics so when he does I tend to listen). We were really happy with the split in the middle of the song and loved the drive of the last 90 seconds – but the lyrics were still a problem.
I wanted to take the idea of the word effete and develop a song idea around a character who I felt typified the word….
When I was university one of my best friends had a pretty inspirational story. He was 5"11 (this is relevant, not just how I describe people), and a good cross country runner but he came to uni with the ambition of rowing in the boat race. He had never rowed before and along with his build had a disadvantage that was beyond mammoth – a medium sized bloke from Wales versus the might of Olympians built like behemoth.
Now, I don't like what the boat race is or stands for and I have huge problems with the way Oxford and Cambridge are positioned as a fulcrum in our societies, but suspending that for a minute you have to admire the determination and attitude of my friend. Virtually pausing his degree he had managed by his third year to progress from the ranks of a novice into the reserve boat (sitting amongst experienced international rowers), narrowly missing a place in the race. By that summer he represented the UK at u23 level. A real story of battling against odds, beyond improbable. I was inspired by him and still think back with disbelief to what he achieved.
Around the same time, Lance Armstrong – in a story that seemed beyond myth – had completed his own immeasurable triumph. A person that I know my friend had invested a huge amount of faith and inspiration. The amount of other people that this man must have also inspired to beat not only manacles of the self but also illness or injury is stupendous.
When his story began to unravel I really wondered how you would feel if a portion of your life had been invested in the purity of this story – everyone wanted that story to be true, yet to lift the veneer and see the deceit, the ill treatment of people and the way that he steamrollered himself into the position of an icon, says a lot about our world I think – if this is a fraud, then can anything amazing be real?
The husk of what is left of Lance Armstrong therefore became to me, an important and correct subject for a song – maybe I attach too much importance to it but he really is (to me) to personification of Effetism.
Effete, makeweight
Nobody cares about you
On your birth date
Wake up: pretend you've
Beaten sleep
I guest you've finally
Made it to the back teeth
Effete: to weigh less
Maillot jaune scars
But now you're staring
At a set of new stars
Free Lance from a packed cell
Hematocrit'll kick you
Where your hope dwells
Effete, weightless
Depress to depress
Shake off to shake off:
The effete
Everyone was gushing but you never did blush
Bawdy implication was it part of the rush?
Acting so ephemeral according to style
You bully and you sully with a national guile
Everything was open but your mouth stayed
You'd been dealing with the feelings of a seminal cut
The single greatest story and I hoped it was true
But the words on the cover said a lot more about you
