At the end of the grass-cutting season, take time to get your push mower ready for storage. Some post-season maintenance will give you a head start next year and prolong the life of your mowing machine.
Use this checklist when you go to the store and purchase your items.
Maintenance may differ depending on your mower model. There are some general steps below, but read the documentation that came with your mower before beginning work and always follow the manufacturer's instructions for use, maintenance and safety.
Perform the maintenance in a well-ventilated area. Before you begin, spread a drop cloth over the work area. You'll be changing the oil, so you may want to run the mower for a minute to get the oil warm. Run the mower outdoors and be sure it is off of the drop cloth. Letting the mower run will make draining the oil easier, but be careful of hot surfaces on the engine and muffler and be careful of oil that may still be hot. Turn the mower off and move it back onto the drop cloth.
Before performing any maintenance, cleaning or inspections on you mower, turn it off and make sure all blades and moving parts have come to a stop. On a gasoline-powered mower, unplug the spark plug wire as instructed in the manual. Disconnect an electric mower from its power supply or remove the safety key (if equipped). Follow any pre-maintenance procedures the manufacturer specifies.
Many of the maintenance steps below require you have the mower tilted on its side. Before doing this, you need to take steps to prevent any fuel from spilling. Different manufacturers have different methods for preventing spills, such as running the mower until the tank is dry or placing a piece of heavy plastic under the fuel cap to cover the fuel inlet. Follow the instructions for your mower.
Tilt the mower according to the manufacturer's instructions. You don't want oil to get into the upper part of the engine and cause problems with starting. Typically you want to tilt the mower so that the dipstick side is down and the air cleaner side is facing upward. Also, don't tilt the mower more than 90 degrees in any direction or leave it tilted over for any length of time.
You should clean off any dirt, grass clippings or other debris before putting your mower away. Remember to never use a shop vacuum near gasoline.
With the mower off and all moving parts stopped, disconnect the spark plug wire or power supply or remove the safety key as described above. Follow any pre-maintenance procedures the manufacturer specifies.
Clean the engine and deck with a brush or cloth.
If you have a grass catcher, brush off debris and check it for damage.
Some mowers have a fixture that allows you to connect a garden hose to the deck and wash out the underside. Follow the instructions for use and make sure you keep water out of the electrical system, muffler, carburetor and air filter. Don't use a hose to clean your mower unless it's recommended by the mower manufacturer.
If you have a gasoline-powered mower, change your engine oil. Start by draining the old oil into a used-oil container. You'll add the new oil once the mower is back on its wheels.
With the mower off and all moving parts stopped, make sure the spark plug wire or power source is disconnected or the safety key is removed as described above. Follow any pre-maintenance procedures the manufacturer specifies.
Follow the directions above for preventing fuel spills when you tilt the mower on its side.
Brush away any dirt and debris from the oil fill inlet.
Remove the oil cap and place it on a clean surface.
Tilt the mower on its side, so the side with the oil fill inlet is closest to the ground. Keep the air filter facing upward. Let the oil drain from the inlet into the used-oil container, rocking the mower to get the old oil out of the engine.
Clean up any spills.
Some mowers have an oil drain plug located at the bottom of the engine. If you use the drain plug to remove the oil, be sure to clean any dirt and debris from around the drain area before removing the plug. After draining the oil in this manner, replace the drain plug before moving on to the next steps.
You may need to replace or sharpen your mower blade after a season of cutting. Your manual may also instruct you to check the balance of the blade as part of maintenance. The mower should be on its side as described above.
With the mower off and all moving parts stopped, make sure the spark plug wire or power source is disconnected or the safety key is removed as described above. Follow any pre-maintenance procedures the manufacturer specifies.
Attach a blade removal tool to the mower to keep the blade from turning as you remove it. As an alternative, you can place a wood block between the mower housing and the blade to hold the blade in place.
Remove the blade, the attachment hardware and debris shield (if equipped) as directed in your manual.
While you have the blade off, clean and scrape underneath the deck to remove accumulated grass clippings.
Inspect the blade and associated parts. Swap any damaged parts with approved replacements.
Some manufacturers recommend that you do not sharpen the blade. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your blade. If your blade can be sharpened, you can have a professional do it for you or you can purchase a sharpener and balancer to do it yourself:
If you need to install a new blade, use only a manufacturer-approved replacement. Note your mower make and model number and take this information with you when shopping for a new blade.
Install the blade and associated parts according to the instructions for your mower, making sure you place and align them properly.
Tighten the blade bolt to the torque your manual specifies.
Remove the blade-removal tool or wood block.
Tilt the mower back so that it rests on its wheels.
If you covered the fuel inlet with a piece of plastic, remove the plastic.
With the mower back on its wheels, you can add new engine oil.
With the mower off and all moving parts stopped, make sure the spark plug wire or power source is disconnected or the safety key is removed as described above. Follow any pre-maintenance procedures the manufacturer specifies.
Add the proper engine oil, following the mower or engine manufacturer's instructions and checking the level periodically.
When the oil level is correct, replace and tighten the oil cap.
Clean up any spills.
There are some other common maintenance procedures that your manual may recommend at the end of the season. If you have other maintenance to perform, make sure the mower is off and all moving parts have stopped. Make sure the spark plug wire or power source is disconnected or the safety key is removed as described above. Follow any pre-maintenance procedures the manufacturer specifies. Other maintenance may include:
After finishing your end-of-season maintenance, store your mower so it will be ready when you need it again. Follow the instructions for your specific mower. Here are some general procedures:

This may sound weird but after listening to this, especially at the beginning of the song, I was thinking of Venice Italy, in a gondola while listening to this.
Just one little thing. From 1:57 to 2:28 its a little...bland I guess? The end of the song was done nicely. Overall, awesome job.
Hey thanks DarkRyeU! Hmmm yeah that part is a small break indeed! It's actually funny how the reviewer just down below said it was hir favorite part! haha :)
Rated 4 / 5 stars
i enjoyed it.
actually, my favorite part was the bass-like breakdown at the end.
Sweet! Thanks man!
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Ver nice, fitting
It sounds quite nice, I like it. It fit's the game quite well, and just generally sounds good. My only complaint is the instrumentation. If you tweak that a bit, it'll be perfect!
Thanks IceGod! What do you mean by "tweaking the instrumentation"? What instruments exactly would you replace? Feel free to PM me to give me a bit more details!
Ahhh and I just got hit by a zero. :/ Ah well, expected!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
i love it! nice feeling to it man, great cover
Thanks Orion! I'm glad you liked it!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
That was pretty awesome, man.
Seriously, an excellent remix of an excellent song. The ONLY reason I couldn't give a perfect 10 was because it was basically a cover (I hope you'll understand). But if you had written this completely in the first place, it would have gotten 11/10. :)
Thanks SneakySnake! I can understand that, it's alright! In the end it's all about those good words, not the score. :)

This month's games post is a special edition focusing on our favorite travel games. Since I can't pick just one, you get six recommendations. (Lucky you.) Last month our family flew cross-country for a lovely week on my father's property in rural Oregon. As I pointed out in last year's travel games post, I make it a point not to use electronic screens to keep my kids busy when we travel. (I make no judgements if you do! Everyone has different strategies.) One of my standby preparations is to fill our carry-on bags with new games for the kids. I hope our favorites will inspire you to engage in a little old-fashioned family time during your vacation journeys this summer.
Sorry for the cheesy inclusion of manufacturer's photos. I was having too much fun playing games taking photos of my kids gathering chicken eggs and wildflowers to remember to take photos for the blog! {Note: I've included affiliate links should you wish to learn more about a particular game.}
Word A Round. ThinkFun sent us their newest literacy game to take with us on our trip. It was a great addition to our games arsenal! Players race to read words spelled out in a continuous ring. It's harder than it sounds and lots of fun. The game is recommended for ages 10 and up, although my 8 year old beat me handily on several rounds. He was so proud of himself when he beat me, especially when he found the harder words first. I love how the game gave him confidence. Official game play lasts until one person has collected 10 cards, but my son always wanted to play for longer. Word A Round is very portable but kids must be able to read in order to play. My husband and I enjoyed a few rounds ourselves — so it's a nice game for adults, as well.
Spot It Junior Animals. Spot It has become one of those toys I slip into my purse as I head out the door to a restaurant and it also served as a much need distraction for my 4 year old on the airplane. There are lots of versions of this clever matching game. Among them, the Alphabet and Numbers and Shapes versions are great for early learning games for ages 3 and up and the Spot It! Basic Spanish looks fun for kids learning a foreign language. There are 5 different ways to play and the tin of cards is super-lightweight and easy to carry.
Dinosaurs Magnetic Design Set. This was a surprise hit. I actually didn't think my 4 year old would like it that much because he has rejected similar make-a-scene activities in the past. However, I think the timing was right, because he happens to LOVE dinosaurs right now. There are 4 cards with background scenes so kids can construct their own dinos from magnetic body parts. Mudpuppy has similar kits in a variety of themes, like space and fairies, so you may be able to find a kit with just the right fit.
Iota. I may not have bought this game if I had really read the description ahead of time. I was lured in by the cute and very tiny, portable container. However, it is not a game to play on the airplane because you need a large playing space to spread out the cards. We didn't play it until we got to our destination. Game play relies on strategy and is very similar to Qwirkle (a terrific game that was once a game of the month) and I recommend it for kids ages 7 and up.
Uno Card Game. You all know about Uno, right? It's a classic and one of my favorite on-the-go games since both my 4 year old and 8 year old can play it equally well. It packs up small and you don't need a large playing space. What's not to love? There is an interesting deck that is waterproof and durable, but unless you are playing in a mudpuddle or going on some serious backpacking adventures, I think the original will serve you just fine.
Spirograph. Okay, this isn't actually a game. But I was sucked into buying this travel version because of the nostalgia factor! I adored Spirograph when I was a kid. I originally thought that Kiddo (age 8) would prefer it and it would be too hard for my four year old, but it was the opposite. New Kid was the one who was really into Spirograph, although he did need assistance. I think that's just more due to the interests of my kids, rather than the age. Obviously loads of older kids (and nostalgic parents) will enjoy the design fun of Spirograph.
We also took along a couple favorites from last year's post about games for an airplane ride: Kanoodle and Magnetic Sudoku.
What are your favorite travel games that you tote along on your family vacations?

Finally, a tournament worth watching. Tiger Woods, for better or worse, is back on the golf course. No offense to Rory McIlroy, Luke Donald or Phil Mickelson, but a golf tournament is much better with Woods in it. He hasn't played a full tournament since the Masters back in April. Woods insists his left knee is 100 percent, and when asked how long it's been since he felt this good, he said, "Years. Plural.''
A healthy Woods is good for golf. Attendance swells and TV ratings soar when Woods is in the field.
Let's face it, the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational is just another tournament without Woods. With Woods, there is a buzz. Will his shaky left knee hold up for four rounds? Will he be able to wipe the rust off his game after an 11 week layoff? Will he ever win again?
Who knows. At least he's out on the course instead of holed up in one of his multi-million dollar mansions. And when Tiger's on the course, we'll be watching.
Who's the caddie?
T he post Steve Williams era begins for Woods. He's going with childhood friend Bryon Bell on the bag this week. Not only is Bell a longtime friend, he is also president of Woods' golf course design business. That business has not been doing well lately, with several projects put on the back burner, so Bell has time to carry the bag. He caddied for Woods before, at the 2005 Funai Classic in Orlando and the U.S. Amateur Championship in 1996. Bell's name also came up during the infidelity scandal in 2009 and '10. E-mails were released by several news outlets reportedly sent by Bell to women with whom Woods had an affair. Woods later removed blame from Bell and said nobody in his inner circle had knowledge of his actions. Bell will likely be on the bag next week at the PGA Championship, but he is not being considered as a full time replacement. "Have you seen his legs?,'' Woods joked.Before and after
On November 27, 2009, Tiger Woods crashed his SUV into a tree outside of his Isleworth home. His life, and golf career, has not been the same since:
Before accident: Total tournament earnings of $92,862,539.
After accident: $1,866,128 in earnings.
Before: 71 PGA Tour wins (14 majors).
After: Zero wins.
Before: 242 PGA events played.
After: 18 events played.
Before: Ranked No. 1 in the Official World Golf rankings by a wide margin.
After: He is currently 28th on the OWG rankings.
Before: Married.
After: Divorced.
Returning from the DL
Woods is becoming all too familiar with coming back from long layoffs due to injury. His last attempt at The Players Championship in May didn't go too well. How he does this time around at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational after 11 weeks off remains to be seen.
Here's a look at how Woods has fared after returning from injury:
April 26, 2011: Reveals he has a sprain of the medial collateral ligaments in his left knee as well as a strain in his left Achilles.
Next tournament: May 15, The Players Championship. Withdraws after nine holes due to the knee and Achilles problems.
May 9, 2010: Withdraws from Players Championship with neck pain.
Next tournament: June 6, 2010, The Memorial. Tie for 19th at 6.
June/December, 2008: Just a week after winning the U.S. Open, has reconstructive surgery on his anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. In December he ruptures the Achilles tendon in his right leg.
Next tournament: March 1, 2009, WGC-Match Play Championship. Wins his first match over Brendan Jones, loses second to Tim Clark.
April, 2008: Has arthroscopic surgery on his left knee to repair cartilage damage just two days after finishing second at the Masters.
Next tournament: June 15, 2008, U.S. Open. Defeats Rocco Mediate in a playoff to win the tournament. He was playing with two stress fractures in his left tibia.
July, 2007: Ruptures his ACL in his left knee while jogging.
Next tournament: August 5, 2007, WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. Won the tournament.
December, 2002: Has surgery to remove fluid around the ACL on his left knee.
Next tournament: February 16, 2020, Buick Invitational. Won the tournament.
What are the odds?
20-1 Las Vegas odds of Tiger Woods winning this week, tied for fifth best odds out of 77 players.
16-1 Odds of Woods winning from Irish bookmaker Paddy Power, which make him tied for second lowest odds.
12-1 Odds of Rory McIlroy winning by both groups, making him the tournament favorite.
11-5 Odds of Woods finishing 41st or worse by Paddy Power.
Chasing Jack
If Woods is going to catch or surpass Jack Nicklaus' major championship total, he needs to be healthy. At 35, time is no longer on his side. Here is a brief comparison between Woods and Nicklaus:
Majors: 1418
Total PGA wins: 7173
Age of first major: 2122
Age of 14th major: 3235
Longest streak without a major: 2y, 10m5y, 8m

Michael Grimm/Getty Images More in Walking Walking for Weight Loss Calorie Calculators Fitness and Workouts Pedometers and Fitness Bands Beginners Injuries and Prevention Treadmill Workouts Gear and Clothing Treadmill Tips Blisters, Chafing, and Foot Pain Walking Shoes Long Distance Walking How to Walk Walking Fast Clubs, Partners, and Programs View All (40 ratings) Total Time 20 min Prep 5 min, Cook 15 min Yield 6 servings This is a quick and easy pasta dish that looks beautiful on the plate and combines the flavors of two colorful vegetables and feta cheese. It can be served hot or cold. I prefer the shape and mouth-feel of penne pasta, but you could use other shapes of pasta, such as spirals or farfalle bowtie pasta.Penne pasta with greens and red pepper makes a great side dish for grilled chicken. If you have fresh red peppers, you can roast them at the same time you are grilling the chicken. You could substitute other greens for swiss chard, such as spinach, kale or beet greens.This recipe has about 200 calories per serving. It is high in Vitamin A and Vitamin C. Pasta is the carbo-loading friend of the long distance walker. If you aren't planning on walking a marathon, simply practice portion control and enjoy it.This dish can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free pasta. Vegans can leave out the feta cheese or use a vegan soy cheese.Makes 6 servings - 1 cup each, approximately 200 calories per serving. Ingredients 1 pound fresh swiss chard or spinach 2 cups cooked penne pasta (about 6 oz. uncooked) 1/2 cup roasted red peppers cut in strips. 1/2 cup feta cheese (low fat feta cheese or dairy-free soy cheese are options) 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon butter (optional) 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar 1/2 teaspoon salt in the water for boiling the pasta Preparation 1. Boil the pasta in salted water as directed on the package, about 11 minutes.2. When the pasta is done, drain and place in the serving bowl. I like to toss it with a tablespoon of butter, but you may wish instead to just add a little olive oil. The butter or oil will keep it from sticking together.3. While the pasta is cooking, wash the swiss chard or spinach (or combination of the two), removing any long stems. Spin them in a salad spinner to remove the excess water or pat them dry.4. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan.5. Toss the swiss chard or spinach into the frying pan and swiftly stir it in the oil just until the greens are wilted, about 30 to 60 seconds. Add a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar and stir, then remove from heat.6. Add the spinach or swiss chard to the pasta.7. I use canned roasted red peppers, and simply take them out of the jar and cut them into strips about 1 to 2 inches long and add them to the pasta. You may prefer to roast your own red peppers, especially if you are serving the pasta with grilled chicken.8. Add the crumbled feta cheese.9. Toss gently together and serve.Options:Make it a one-dish meal, adding chopped chicken rather than serving the chicken separately.I often enjoy this dish without the cheese, especially when I serve it with chicken or fish.You could use frozen spinach in a pinch, but you need to drain it well after defrosting or heating it, and you wouldn't saute it. Simply add a little balsamic vinegar to the spinach and then toss with the pasta. Serving Suggestions and Notes for Penne Pasta with Swiss Chard and Red Peppers:Serve as a colorful side dish with grilled chicken or fish.You can serve it hot or cold. I take it along to work for lunch the next day and eat it cold or reheat in the microwave.This makes a good potluck dish or picnic dish, served cold or hot.

Dollar Financial Corp. (DLLR) filed Annual Report for the period ended 2009-06-30.
Dollar Financial Corp is a leading international financial services company serving under-banked consumers. Its customers are typically service sector individuals who require basic financial services but for reasons of convenience and accessibility purchase some or all of their financial services from the Company rather than from banks and other financial institutions. To meet the needs of these customers the Company provides a range of consumer financial products and services primarily consisting of check cashing short-term consumer loans Western Union money order and money transfer products reloadable VISA? and MasterCard? branded debit cards electronic tax filing bill payment services and legal document preparation services. Dollar Financial Corp. has a market cap of $402.9 million; its shares were traded at around $16.73 with a P/E ratio of 9.1 and P/S ratio of 0.8.
Highlight of Business Operations:As of December 31, 2008, 24,066,072 shares of the registrants common stock, par value $0.001 per share, were outstanding. As of such date the aggregate market value of voting stock (based upon the last reported sales price in The Nasdaq Global Select Market) held by non-affiliates of the registrant was approximately $247,880,542. As of August 31, 2009, the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding was 24,102,985.
Our U.S. business had revenues of $153.7 million for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2008 (fiscal 2008) and $154.9 million for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2009 (fiscal 2009).
On June 30, 2009, we acquired a 76% interest in an established consumer lending business in Poland. The acquired company, Optima, S.A., founded in 1999 and headquartered in Gdansk, offers unsecured loans of generally 40 50 week durations with an average loan amount of $250 to $500. The loan transaction includes a convenient in-home servicing feature, whereby loan disbursement and collection activities take place in the customers home according to a mutually agreed upon and pre-arranged schedule. The in-home loan servicing concept is well accepted within Poland and Eastern Europe, and was initially established in the U.K. nearly 100 years ago. Customer sales and service activities are managed through an extensive network of local commission based representatives across five provinces in northwestern Poland.
At June 30, 2009, of our 1,206 overall locations, we have 175 franchised/agent locations in Canada, the United Kingdom and in the United States. The franchised/agent locations offer many of the same products and services offered by company-operated stores using the same associated trade names, trademarks and service marks within the standards and guidelines we have established. Total franchise/agent revenues were $5.0 million for fiscal 2008 and $4.2 million for fiscal 2009. The decline in revenues in fiscal 2009 is due to the decrease in the number of franchise stores.
Our customers, many of whom receive income on an irregular basis or from multiple employers, are drawn to our convenient neighborhood locations, extended operating hours and high-quality customer service. Our products and services, principally our check cashing and short-term consumer loan program, provide immediate access to cash for living expenses or other needs. We principally cash payroll checks, although our stores also cash government benefit, personal and income-tax-refund checks. During fiscal 2009, we cashed 9.3 million checks with a total face amount of $4.5 billion and an average face amount of $487 per check. We originated 4.1 million single-payment consumer loans with an average principal amount of $406 and a weighted average term of approximately 18.1 days. In addition, we acted as a servicer and direct lender originating approximately 6,000 longer-term installment loans with an average principal amount of $815 and a weighted average term of approximately 210 days. We strive to provide our customers with high-value ancillary services, including Western Union money order and money transfer products, electronic tax filing, reloadable VISA® and Mastercard® debit cards, bill payment, foreign currency exchange, pawn broking, gold buying, photo ID and prepaid local and long-distance phone services.
Growing Through Disciplined Network Expansion We intend to continue to grow our network through the addition of new stores and acquisitions, while adhering to a disciplined selection process. In order to optimize our expansion, we carefully assess potential markets by analyzing demographic, competitive and regulatory factors, site selection and availability, and growth potential. We seek to add locations that offer check cashing, consumer lending, debit cards, foreign currency, pawn lending, gold buying and other services or a combination of any of these products and services. In fiscal 2009, we entered into Poland, our fifth country, with the acquisition of Optima, S.A., that offers unsecured loans with payment terms of generally 40 50 week durations with an average loan amount of $250 to $500. Also during fiscal 2009, we acquired an established profitable U.K. Internet-based consumer lending business which was immediately accretive to earnings. The acquired company is competitively positioned in a rapidly growing market and further expands our expertise within the Internet lending arena. Moreover, we believe we can export and leverage this expertise to other European countries as well as our Canadian business unit. We continue to actively seek to acquire targeted competitor operations in selected expansion markets in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe and Latin America.

Pedestrian hit in Cranston
Cranston police are investigating another pedestrian accident in Rhode Island.
Police said a pedestrian walking westbound across Narragansett Boulevard was struck by a car heading south near the intersection of Aurora Avenue at about 8 p.m. Tuesday.
The pedestrian, whose name was not immediately released, was taken to Rhode Island Hospital with serious injuries.
So far no charges have been filed, but the accident remains under investigation.
This is the latest in a number of pedestrian accidents in Rhode Island.
On Sunday morning, a man died after he was hit walking on Interstate 195 near exit 4. On Tuesday morning, a man was killed after he tried to cross Interstate 95 in Providence near exit 25.
No charges will be filed in those cases.

Howdy, Stranger!
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Chevy Venture
The larger gas tank is in all extended length chevy vans (which includes all WB, I believe). The wheelbase is longer making room for the larger tank. My 2000 Venture had the same fuel gauge problem after about 100k miles, and it was actually a chevy-wide problem for a few years. The float assembly in the gas tank is bad, and needs replacing. The assembly is sold seperately from the fuel pump it is attached to, don't let anyone tell you different - the part should not cost more than 80-90 bucks (US). The tanks are also VERY accessable and about the easiest to take down of any modern vehicle out there, if you have done that before. Just remember that the tanks are pressurized. Also bear in mind that the computer reading is an approximation, and mine is usually about a gallon off, depending on what kind of driving I do.
I am not sure I understand - I know that if I turn off the ignition when the wipers are up, they will stay there. Do you mean that the arms are up when the wipers are off? If they are but they work otherwise, check your linkages located under the hood, maybe one is out of sync and not attached where it should be?
I had this problem. It was intermittent but wasn't convienient on holidays or when it was raining or snowing. I took it to the dealer and they replaced the switch and it solved the problem. It cost less than $200.00 (can)
byker220 Posts: 4Yes, I meant that the arms stay up with the wipers off. I found the problem though. There's a small tab above the wiper motor assembly. The tab must have gotten jammed by some ice( it was snowing hard when this started) and got out of position. I bent the tab back slightly towards the drivers side and it works fine now. This tab appears to catch a switch on the motor to return it to home when off.

hayworth Posts: 1I have a 99 Venture with the power sliding door not functioning. The door currently will not unlock which caused the door not to open either manually or electronically. Anyone know how to fix this?
iaina Posts: 1I own a 2002 Chevy Venture, and the rear hatch no longer stays locked.
Is this something that is easy to fix? I'm hoping that someone will say that the part is cheap and point me in the direction of how to fix it. A link to some instructions would be fantastic. Otherwise, I'll be forced to spend more hard-earned dollars with our local gas station.
rkehler Posts: 1This may sound silly, but is it printed on the oil filler cap? :blush:
When I first got my van I went to Canadian Tire to have the air filter changed - they charged me $20 labour and it took an hour before they got to my van and I got it back. The next time I went to a "The Great Canadian Oil Change" -they charged me $5.00 and it only took 5 minutes!
bmoran Posts: 1On my 1997 chev. venture here is the problem.When I get in the vehicle and start it up then put it into gear. The locks should engage. Mine no longer do. Also when getting out of the vehicle and locking the doors at the armrest buttons it should chime 3 times and lock automatic. This is not happening. Dome light does not come on when car is stopped and turned off and key removed. All the door do not unlock when I stop the car and put it in park. I have to unlock manually. I do not have a hand held remote for locks. It is all done at the door. I have checked the fuses inside and out and can not seem to find that one is out. Any help would be appreciated.

dmore Posts: 1I purchased a 2002 venture 5 days ago and feel like an idiot. 3 days after purchase the cruise control, brake lites and traction system decided to take a vacation. But right now my question is: How the heck do you set the clock in the thing? The manual tells me to press buttons that do not exist in my vehicle. Help!
adso Posts: 1I have a 1999 Chevy Venture with the 3.4L V6.The engine has 123,000 km on it and recently we have noticed a fuel smell. The smell is intermitent and has occured mostly at start-up and while idling for more than a few minutes.
We have noticed the smell even on days after a fuel fill-up.
Any idea where the fuel smell is from?
mitzij Posts: 613You may have bent the 'parking pawl'. This usually happens when you've been snowed on and cleaned out the snow, a part gets bent on the wiper transmission. Sometimes a mechanic can do some adjusting to get it to work, but I believe usually you need to replace the transmission. It can be a high-dollar repair ($200-$300, thereabouts)
just4fun2 Posts: 461Check your brake light bulbs. If they aren't working, your cruise won't work.
Hmmmm . . . . First I'd change the fuel filter then check all connections on the gas lines all the way to the injectors. The fuel fill door should be in good condition and make sure the air filter is clean. Other than that, if you don't find the problem pronto consult with your GM service dept immediately because raw fuel is a bad, bad, no no.
yellowgreen7 Posts: 1we had a similar problem our dealer said the wire connections underneath were loose?
Not sure if you may already have the answer, but here is what worked on my 2000 Venture. The upper assembly on the wiper motor rotates forward to run the wipers. When switched off, the assembly runs backward for a turn. There is an electric operated key that needs to move out of the inner wheel to allow the drive to disengage. Over time, the lubricant gives way to the dust buildup and the key doesn't let go... the wipers move up and stay there.
Take the cover off of the upper assembly and spray about 8 cents worth of WD40 at it and you will save the 200 bucks at the dealer.
I had a similar problem and eventually found the cause under the floor mat on the passenger side. It takes about an hour to get to. Look for water while you are down there.
My AC was leaking back into the cab and filled the passenger side floor with water which corroded the wires.
A bit of solder, grease, and electrical tape fixed the door problem. (Fixing my blower motor resistor will probably stop the AC condnesate from flooding the floor in the future, but I have found that running it on high helps a lot too.) Good luck.
I took mine apart and found that the main gear and the worm that turns it are plastic! If the wiper siezes (or is not properly greased) and you try to run the motor, then these two gears eat each other and eventually stop working.
Bite the bullet, replace the motor / transmission assembly (mine came from an auto wrecker for $120)
My practice is to i) grease it every 6 months and ii) run it at least once a week.
Good Luck.
it sounds like you have our van...add to it the wiper motor breaking 3 times now because of MI winters and the gasket leaking and I'd think you were me. I get very frustrated with it because I bought a new van to avoid problems and here I am at 85,000 miles and I could have bought a new van by now with all of the repairs. I've spoken to the dealer and customer service since we started having problems 1000 miles after the warranty expired and their comment was that we should have gotten the extended warranty. I think we bought our last chevrolet product...
that has happened to our 2000 venture, but it was the least of our problems so we ignored it. Most of ours was on the roof and by the top of the hood
If you live where it regularly gets frezing or below go with the 5-30 but if you live where it seldom freezes go 10-30.
By the way, WalMart sells their Super Tech full synthetic oil for $12.88 five quarts, half the price of Mobil1 and meets the same American Petroleum Institute specs.
That doesn't sound right at all. GM made an error programming the PCM and YOU had to pay $90. to correct it? I bought a 2000 Venture used and it is the first GM product I ever owned, always drove Fords and Hondas. The more I learn about GM the less I like them and this is the first and last GM product I will ever own.
In my opinion, this thing with the intake manifold gaskets leaking and costing $800. to replace is another GM engineering error as is DexCool the DeathCool. There is evidently some kind of electrolosis set up by an aluminum head and iron block whereby the intake manifold gasket is eaten up and craps out leaving the owner with a big repair bill.
I changed mine and had to completely remove the rubber hose so I could get the filter box cover off. Really a beautiflu piece of GM master enginering where you make it as difficult as possible to work on. You theink that's bad, try replacing the spark plugs where you have to take the dog bones loose and "roll" the engine.

Former DGLA board member Campbell Read recalls the Dallas PD raid of the Village Station, which is now Station 4. Did you know over 20 years ago, cops "arrested 12 people who were doing a bunny hop on the dance floor for public lewdness."
And of course, how you could not have Stephan Pyles in the list. His article goes back to the opening of Routh Street Cafe.

Thanksgiving is a diet disaster!
While I don't condone diets, I do promote moderation, and moderation & Thanksgiving do not belong in the same sentence. At all.
The Thanksgiving meal spread is usually expansive, including a turkey {sometimes two – we've had a roasted turkey and a fried one}, gravy, cranberry sauce, dressing or stuffing {we also have two – one with oysters & one without}, green bean casserole, squash casserole, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, the list goes on… and don't even get me started on desserts…
Now don't worry, I'm not going to advise you to forgo your Thanksgiving favorites and eat salad for Thanksgiving {though I wouldn't mind eating a huge serving of this wonderful fall salad}.
But what if you added a new {soon to be favorite} dish to your Thanksgiving table?
Might I suggest a dish full of veggies since I love them so very much and want you to eat more every day?
I'm pretty sure if you brought salad to Thanksgiving, you might get a few glares from those already elbow deep in the gravy… {Who brings salad to Thanksgiving?!}
So how about roasted veggies?
I've proclaimed my
love obsession with roasted vegetables before, but I just wanted you to see how amazing these look and how easy they are to make.
I suggest you make a huge batch because people will definitely go back for seconds.
But if you're lucky & have leftovers, try making this recipe and substituting leftover turkey for the chicken – yum!
Oh and another bonus of this recipe {despite it's serious nutritious value} is everyone can eat it – vegetarians, vegans, carnivores, and those with any of the top eight food allergies {peanuts, tree nuts, soy, eggs, wheat, fish, shellfish, and dairy}.
So honestly, this is a perfect dish in my humble, vegetable-loving opinion… it's delightfully delicious, healthy, and no matter what lifestyle you live or allergy you have – you can eat this!
It's a Thanksgiving miracle: you can still enjoy your old favorites, but if you have smaller portions of those calorie bombs and eat larger portions of lower calorie, more nutritious items {like these veggies}, your health will have something to be thankful for. Wohoo!

A slew of useful media and disk utilities. Mostly clear interface. Strong, simple video editing. Encodes discs for use on mobile devices. 4K Ultra HD video support.
Somewhat unwieldy mixed bag of software tools. Weak photo editing. Some mobile features didn't work.
Bottom Line
Nero's suite has been updated for modern mobile uses, but still includes good old burning and more.
Editing Photos
From Nero MediaHome, you can click the Edit Photo button for some basic image correction and enhancements. The editing is non-destructive, meaning you can revert to the original at any time. Keep in mind that this ain't Photoshop, but there's enough for most folks. You get auto-exposure, color, crop, straighten, and red-eye removal. A Brighten slider does what it says, and a "Backlight" adjustment seemed just to darken the image—there's no contrast, but there are color temperature and saturation sliders. Eight Instagram-style retro effects round out Nero's photo toolbox, and they're not anywhere as powerful as the Instagram ones, frankly. The "Frames" button didn't do anything for me, though the Help says it adds a white border.
Playing Video and Music
MediaHome plays video as well, and I was impressed that it had no trouble playing my 4K (aka Ultra HD) test video from a GoPro Hero III Black Edition[COMMERCE]. The app is also useful for when you plug USB storage: as well as importing the media, it can show you the devices' used and available storage graphically, along with metadata for each individual file.
When it comes to music, MediaHome can display album art, play the songs, and even point you to downloads of more music from the same artist. In a similar way to photo viewing, the app shows info in the right side panel for the selected album or song—rating, play time, artist, genre, and so on.
An interesting option in MediaHome is entered through the button that looks like a TV—media streaming, you can turn this on to stream anything managed by the program to any DLNA-capable device. You can do this with Windows Media player, but MediaHome makes it much easier. MediaHome lets you set streaming quality and see which devices on your home network have access and remove them if you want. This worked easily with an Xbox in our labs, but playback was staggered, and when I set the video to repeat, it still only played once on the Xbox.
Nero Recode
Recode is a key selling point for the suite: it's where you select your media and have it automatically reformatted to play on a different device. You can drag-and-drop files onto its large target area at the top of its own program window, or open it from MediaHome. Video is probably the most important content for this treatment, since most smartphones and tablets have no problem displaying photos of any resolution or playing audio.
When I right-clicked on a video in MediaHome and chose "Convert with Nero Recode" the app opened with my video on the right, and a list of target devices on the left. These included most popular smartphones and tablets, and consoles—iPhones, iPads, Samsung Galaxies, and Windows Phone 8 among them. A slider below the target options let me choose quality, from smallest file size to largest.
You can choose a bunch of files to be placed in a recoding in a queue for batch operation. I hit "Start encoding," and after a few seconds for a relatively small video clip of less than a minute, I could play the file in MediaHome or see where it was saved on disk. It was then up to me to get the file on the device.
Mobile Devices
When I plugged in a Windows Phone or an Android phone to the PC, Nero MediaHome added an entry for it in the left source sidebar, and let me browse any photos and music. I could also switch to the Info tab to see its storage usage. I could right click or drag any content overseen by Nero onto the phone's entry to copy it to that device. By default, the program converted music to standard MP3 and images to JPG, but didn't convert video. All of that, however, is editable from a sprocket-shaped settings button.
Android users can get more out of suite's tools by installing the Nero MediaHome WiFi Sync app. This is a very simple app: There's just a big on-off slider and a sync button at the bottom. But I saw nothing in MediaHome when I enabled syncing on the app. (I tried with a few different Wi-Fi networks and routers, and am working with Nero staff to see what the problem is. I'll update this with what I find out.) Users of the free MediaHome version will need to purchase a wireless sync add-on, but the Platinum suite includes it. Nero's promotional site also says you're supposed to be able to stream video to an Android phone, but I didn't see this feature in the software.
Popping a disc into the DVD tray opened Nero Disc-to-Device (not an option from the start screen), which offers to send the content to a connected device. The program installation also adds a "send to device" right-click option in File Explorer for this. Since iPhones don't allow direct file access, one option in Disc-to-Device is iTunes, from which you can transfer media to Apple's devices.
I chose to send my test DVD, Rooster Teeth, to my connected Nokia 1020, and I could choose which chapters to send and preview the video in a small window. The 1 hour 41 minute video took just over 10 minutes to transfer. It played fine on the phone, but the aspect ratio was a little off; I expect that the program got the wrong Windows Phone model, since it displayed Nokia 909 as the phone name.


text: Culture 22 June 2011 Gilbey on Film: Fassbinder's unrequited Lamborghinis How rejection fuelled the director's vision. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML A belated "happy birthday" to Günther Kaufmann, who turned 64 last week. If you are at all familiar with this Bavarian actor and his work, chances are you will remember him like this rather than like this. Not a towering figure in cinema history by any means, but a tangentially influential one, given the effect he had on a director for whom "towering" would not be overstating the case. Rainer Werner Fassbinder was besotted with Kaufmann, and in 1971 he wrote a play based on their relationship. The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant was a berserk, angry, funny and ultimately exhausting analysis of sado-masochistic power games masquerading as love. In 1972, he made a film version. I wonder if Kaufmann watched it as part of his birthday celebrations. I would think not. Many of Fassbinder's films were painfully autobiographical works. But of The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant, his biographer Robert Katz writes: "Rainer never challenged the view held by those closest to him that every word in the play was spoken either to him or by him." When Fassbinder became infatuated with Kaufmann, the latter soon realised that the attentions of an increasingly wealthy film-maker could, with the minimum of reciprocation, prove profitable for him. "Suddenly prosperity stepped into Kaufmann's life," said Fassbinder's collaborator Kurt Raab. "Every wish, pronounced or merely read in his eyes, was granted." Lamborghinis took the role played in most relationships by chocolates and flowers. "There were four in one year, because hardly had Kaufmann wrecked one of these previous vehicles when the next one had to be found." By all accounts, Fassbinder did not feel sufficiently reimbursed for his extravagances. So when the opportunity arose to shoot a film in Spain, he decided to combine business with pleasure: he wrote the bizarre and brilliant western Whity for Kaufmann, complete with scenes specially orchestrated to relieve him of his shirt. Away from Kaufmann's wife and children, Fassbinder hoped that this access to his leading man's body would continue when the camera was switched off. The shoot was hell. "Fassbinder would start the day demanding ten Cuba libres -- rum and Coca-Cola," remembers the producer Peter Berling. "He would drink nine and throw the tenth at the cameraman." If the previous night had been a sexually fruitful one between actor and director, then the following day would be fruitful too. But if Fassbinder had been rebuffed in bed, everyone would pay. After one long, sexless night, the director threatened suicide. "He even went as far as borrowing a razor," said Berling. "But in the end he simply shaved." Fassbinder was nothing if not a man who knew how to spin gold from heartache. So blatant is the autobiographical thrust of The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant that Robert Katz can without fear of contradiction call it "the story, transsexualised into a lesbian love affair, of Rainer's relationship with Günther." Petra is a self-absorbed fashion designer besotted with her doll-faced model, Karin, who responds only with scorn, boredom or material demands. Lamborghinis are not mentioned, but you get the gist. By the end, Petra has trashed her friends, her family and her crockery, all for a woman who barely notices she exists. The play premiered in Frankfurt in June 1971, when Fassbinder was just 25, and received lukewarm reviews. By February 1972 he had shot a film version that was faithful to the play with the exception of a final-act divergence to darken further the tenor of the piece. He had addressed the perils of love and cohabitation previously in his maligned play Water Drops on Burning Rocks, which he wrote as a teenager (it was filmed 16 years after his death by François Ozon). But in The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant, there is a weight of experience and anxiety that was merely cosmetic in the earlier play. Only once in the film's two hours and three minutes do we depart from the cramped single set -- that's during the opening shot of two cats preening on a staircase. After that, we are cornered, like the characters, in Petra's garish apartment, with its vast murals of reclining nudes, and its staff of bald mannequins with heads pressed together in wordless and sinister gossip. It is here that Petra (Margit Carstensen), ponders her life, and receives a procession of visitors who line up like courtiers paying their respects to a dying queen. The picture is even more claustrophobic than Twelve Angry Men; think of it as Three Pissed-Off Lesbians and you're close. For his cinematographer, Fassbinder returned to Michael Ballhaus -- the man with the Cuba libres down his shirt-front. It might seem incongruous that Ballhaus went on to work with Martin Scorsese after completing 14 films for Fassbinder: what do the roaming spectacles of GoodFellas and Gangs of New York have in common with this airless torture chamber? More than you might think. Ballhaus's camera finds depth in Petra's dungeon. He examines its dimensions, magnifying them, distorting them -- at one point, the white shagpile occupies half the screen, with Petra relegated to the top half of the frame, where she cries into her gin. In 2005, The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant was adapted into an opera. The film has legs, as they say. Next month, there are two screenings of it at BFI Southbank. It's one of Fassbinder's most robust and punishing movies, almost on a par with his masterpiece Fear Eats the Soul, which is another picture born out of his destructive relationship with a male actor. Great director and everything, one of my favourites in fact, but he couldn't compartmentalise to save his life. The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant screens at BFI Southbank, SE1, on 24 and 26 July. › Cameron's hypocrisy on BBC cuts Ryan Gilbey is the New Statesman's film critic.

text: In more than one thread that I've read through on this forum, I've noticed a lot of people address that idea of release from one's emotions. How one would lead a perfectly peaceful lifestyle without attachment to something so fickle. The reply most give is that life would be boring without emotions like love and hate. It is my philosophy, however, that when one releases their emotions, they are not cutting themselves off from them, they are simply not holding onto them anymore. You can still feel love and hate, but you do not DESIRE to feel them, you do not strive for them. It is also my philosophy that when one truly achieves this peace that can only be achieved by letting go one's emotions, that the peace is as a river, it is strong, intense, constant, unlike emotions which come and go as the wind.

RE: Arlington National Cemetery
It should pop right up if you look for a cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia (as I said, its not in Washington DC, it's across the river in the state of Virginia).
Here is the link:
If that doesn't work, on the left side of the screen go to Cemetery Lookup, and then just type Arlington National in the search box.
I think it has the most listings of any cemetery on Find-a-grave, so trust me, its there! :-) I fill at least 40 photo requests a week at it.

Arlington National Cemetery
I noticed you created a "cemetery" on Find-a-grave for Arlington National Cemetery. Arlington National Cemetery is already on Find-a-grave (with almost 270,000 intermentd in it). Its located in Arlington Virginia (across the Potomac from Washington DC). If you could move your memorial to the correct Arlington (you should be able to open the memorial and edit the burial location) it would be appreciated. Also, check to make sure the person isn't already listed there, since most of the people from that time-frame are there already. Then we can ask the Admin's to delete the extra Arlington Cemetery (only Admin's have that power).
Thanks, and welcome to find-a-grave.

Mithra, known as Mithras to the Romans, was originally a Persian god of the sun. At the beginning of time Mithras had sacrificed the mythical great bull from the body of which flowed the blood which gave life to earth.
With the Romans Mithras became the god of kings, justice and contracts. He was a deity particularly favoured by soldiers, who were bound in loyalty to their rulers and is often described as the soldier god.

Tale of the Tape
Jurickson Profar vs. Anthony Rendon
For the second-base edition of "Tale of the Tape," I was given a choice between Jason Kipnis vs. Dustin Pedroia, Neil Walker vs. Martin Prado, and Anthony Rendon vs. Jurickson Profar. As the title gives away, I chose set no. 3, Rendon and Profar—a pair of former no. 1 prospects with All-Star potential. More than two years separate the second basemen in age, but both will enter the year ready to compete in their first full major-league seasons. In BP's positional rankings, Craig Goldstein lists Rendon at the back end of the three-star tier and Profar checks in a few keystones later inside the two-star group. Can the two-star player outshine the three-star favorite?
Batting Average
Advantage: Rendon
On-Base Percentage
Advantage: slightly to Rendon
Home Runs
Advantage: Even
Runs Batted In
Advantage: Rendon
Advantage: Profar
Stolen Bases
Advantage: Profar
Injury Risk
Advantage: Profar
Playing Time
Advantage: Even
Advantage: Profar
Each player can claim stake to two offensive categories, but Rendon can claim one additional stat. I like him to contribute a healthier batting average, a slightly better on-base percentage and more RBIs, while Profar should get a check mark in the runs scored and stolen base columns. That leaves the intangibles, and Profar sweeps the board—he's younger, he's less injury prone and he has the higher ceiling. Accordingly, Ben Carsley ranked Profar and Rendon no. 4 and no. 5, respectively, in BP's three-year projections released on Wednesday. I agree whole-heartedly, as Profar's ceiling gives him the long-term edge over Rendon. For the upcoming season, the most recent NFBC ADP shows a clear preference for Profar, who is ranked no. 14 at second base with a 171.29 ADP; Rendon is no. 17 (224.68 ADP). It's hard not to look at the Rangers' lineup and feel all warm and tingly inside, I get it, but the Nationals' lineup is no
And the winner is… Rendon

Barbara S. Nuchereno, Candidate for Amherst Town Justice
Barbara S. Nuchereno
Candidate for Amherst Town Justice
Lines on ballot: Republican
Age: 52
Number of years living in town: 52
Occupation/Employer: attorney, Amherst councilmember (term ends 2013)
Top campaign platform agendas:
The Town Justice Court is a community court addressing a wide variety of issues facing residents of the town. I have a diverse background in the law, having served representing clients in many areas of law, including Justice Court, for 13 years.
What gives me unique and effective skills for this position is my many years, from 2000-2012, as an attorney in the Court system, as Law Clerk to Justice Sharon S. Townsend in both Family and Supreme Courts, and as a Supreme Court Referee, presiding over cases in a quasi judicial capacity. In these capacities, I served to manage a busy court calendar, address complex legal issues, advise and assist the Judge, work with and guide attorneys and their clients, preside over cases ruling on evidence and making findings, writing decisions and opinions.
I have experience first hand with the domestic violence court, and the mediation program and assisted the Judge with the implementation of the Court Improvement Project to make the Court more user friendly and efficient. I have an extensive legal and administrative background and have developed many contacts with the community agencies that support and service the Court and in particular the specialized treatment Courts.
Additionally, I serve on the Town Board, where many of the local laws are created that are enforced in the Court, and thus have a full background of the laws that are applied in the Court. I also have developed an extensive network of contacts within the Town government which will serve to provide me greater insight and resources with many matters heard before the Court. Additionally, I have been the liaison to the Court, the Police, the Senior Center, and have worked closely with the Youth Department over the last few years. No one else has this experience.
My administrative and budgetary experience, as well as my legal background are unparalleled. I was rated "well qualified" after an extremely rigorous review process by the non partisan bar association in 2008 for a judicial position. My experience in some of the busiest courts in the area will serve me well. I love this work, and am devoted to maintaining the Amherst Town Court as a flagship model for the nation.
Biggest issues facing the town:
This question is not necessarily one that applies to this position. The Court does not necessarily address issues facing the town, which are generally policy questions best answered by legislative candidates. That being said, I think it is important to maintain the Treatment Courts, which provide an immeasurable benefit to both the participants and the community. I believe this is a big issue facing the court, and I have many ideas to not only maintain, but possibly improve the treatment courts. In fact, I have the support of Dick Gallagher, who is a past president of the Amherst Drug Court Foundation, and a current Board member. He is a co- founder of Kids Escaping Drugs, and the founder of High School Sports. Dick has known me professionally and personally, and his support is notable.
I have spoken with the principals in the Mediation Program in Supreme and County Courts regarding the possibility of expanding the program into Amherst. As far as the other issues facing the Court, again, I believe my diverse legal background, my experience with and on the bench, and my administrative experience are unparalleled.


text: My BIG problem is that I am planning a trip during free dining for a group of 15 people. I'm excited about the trip, but so worried about not being able to please anyone. The ages span from newborn to 65. I know the families that have young ones will much prefer restaurants where loud is ok and the menus include very kid friendly choices. I need a choice for each park as we will have 4 day park hoppers and the other 3 days can be at resorts. I am not opposed to using two of our TS credits for a signature experience, I just have no experience in these. Thanks for any help!!!

The day before EASTER WEEKEND I heard a man pacing in the school boys bathroom.
At school that I teach at I heard someone walking down the hallway several times.
Around 3:00 p.m. I heard a distinct man's voice coming from the sink area.
I wanted to walk right out of the school at this point.

We welcome Safran Group's Labinal Inc. with open arms as it brings jobs, property tax wealth and even more distinction to the city of Denton as a regional corporate hub.
Labinal joins a corporate lineup ranging from PACCAR and Peterbilt to Target, Fastenal, Aldi and our world-renowned Sally Beauty Holdings Inc., among many others.
Denton's list of regional, national and international companies continues to build our reputation for supplying a well-educated and diversified workforce, a broad spectrum of housing options and the potential for higher education collaboration.
We'd be remiss not to mention the thriving community spirit that captures the hearts of many a newcomer becoming acquainted with Denton. Musicians gather on the courthouse lawns, a plethora of festivities draw tens of thousands each year for everything from the Arts & Jazz Festival to the North Texas State Fair to the 35Denton music festival. Our Courthouse Square is a thriving gathering place and there's always something going on — whether it is a holiday-themed event or a 5K race or even a dog contest. We offer plentiful areas for family gatherings at our parks and draw national and international talents to both the University of North Texas and Texas Woman's University.
And we've come a long way in these recent years to enhance our strong points — from our downtown arts gallery to further strengthening our downtown presence with more eateries, town homes, upscale apartments and entertainment venues. We've added the A-train to our transportation alternatives and we've established a reputation for thinking outside the box in energy alternatives.
But several important elements for local officials to keep in mind include our need for better streets, plans for continued transportation improvements on major thoroughfares, ongoing development of higher-end housing, expansion of retail opportunities, affordable utilities for both the workforce and the corporations and collective communications with all of our higher education institutions to continue developing collaborative projects with the business community.
While we do well in many of these areas, we should continue to strive for further development in each. These are the very components for which corporate entities search as they decide where they will locate or relocate their facilities.

1956 Murray River flood
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1956 Murray River flood involved the rising of waters in the Murray River and flooding of many towns in three states of Australia, including the towns of Colignan, Iraak, Mannum, Murray Bridge, Mildura, Nangiloc, Red Cliffs, Renmark[1], Wentworth and many others.
The flood occurred due to higher than average rainfalls in Western Queensland and heavy rains in the proceeding three months in Murray catchment areas [2], peaking at 12.3 metres at Morgan, South Australia [2]. Some areas were flooded up to 100 km from the natural flow of the river.
The flood was and still is considered the biggest flood in the recorded history of the River Murray and described as "the greatest catastrophe in South Australia's history" [3].
As a result of the flood, the Menindee Lakes were constructed to store high flows from the Darling River [2].
Hotels in the main street of Mannum operated their bars from the second floor with boats tying up to the balcony. The flood water broke the levee bank on August 24, and had not fully receded until Christmas. To many locals it is common knowledge that the beginning of the roof on the visitors center in main street was the height in main street.[4]
In 2006, historic flood markers were erected at Apex Park and the lawns of the Mildura Rowing Club at Mildura, indicating the height the river reached in 1956. Additional markers are to be erected at various locations along the river from Wentworth to Colignan.[5] Several towns in South Australia also have depth markers showing how high the floodwaters rose.
The New South Wales town of Wentworth, located on the junction of the Darling and Murray Rivers, erected a statue in 1959 in honour of the Fergie TE20 tractor, responsible for helping to erect a levee around the town which kept floodwaters at bay for months. A tractor rally is also held every five years to celebrate the Fergie. [6]

Tel Aviv, June 6 (IANS/RIA Novosti) A Chechen businessman is to become an unlikely part-owner of one of Israel's biggest and most stridently nationalist football teams, the current majority owner said.
Taking a 25 percent stake in Beitar Jerusalem will be the latest twist in the unlikely career of Tamir Medzhidov, who has gone from serving as an Israeli border guard to overseeing a Chechnya-centred business empire.
In January, he reportedly played a key role in arranging a friendly match between Beitar and Chechen team Terek Grozny that made the Israeli club one of the few foreign teams willing to travel to the troubled region.
Soon after, Beitar loaned two Chechen players from Terek, a deal that led to racist chants from Beitar's staunchly nationalist supporters and an alleged arson attack on the team. The team has never signed an Arab player, rare in Israeli football.
"In my view, the proposal from Mr. Medzhidov is more preferable for Beitar," current owner Arcadi Gaydamak said, comparing Medzhidov's bid to what he said was a less attractive offer from Israeli businessman Eli Tabib.
"Under the terms of the agreement, I will transfer half of my stake in Beitar. The deal has no cost. I'll just transfer it for free."
Medzhidov has promised to cover half of Beitar's $5 million-a-year losses, Gaydamak said.
Little information is available about Medzhidov, who is said to be an ethnic Chechen in his early 30s who holds Israeli and Russian citizenship.
Gaydamak is no stranger to controversy. Last year, charges against him of money laundering in Israel were dropped under a plea deal, and he was acquitted in France in 2009 of arms dealing charges related to the Angolan Civil War.
He has also made forays into Israeli politics as head of the Social Justice Party and ran unsuccessfully for mayor of Jerusalem in 2008. His son Alexandre was the owner of English football team Portsmouth between 2006 and 2009.

An elementary school in Ventura County closed on an emergency basis earlier this year because of safety issues is being closed permanently.
The Simi Valley School Board made a final decision last night to shutter Simi Elementary School.
A number of major safety concerns were identified at the school earlier this year, so the campus was closed in February, and students, faculty, and staff were shifted to Mountain View Elementary School.
There is bond money available for the millions in repairs which are needed, but the school board decided repairs don't make sense when the cash strapped district has empty, available classroom space on other campuses.
