Two former South Dakota economic development leaders who died in a 1993 plane crash along with then-Governor George Mickelson have been honored at the office where they once worked.
The Capital Lake Plaza in Pierre was officially renamed the Dolly-Reed Plaza during a ceremony Friday.
Roland Dolly and Ron Reed had both served as commissioners of the Governor's Office of Economic Development. At the time of the April 19th, 1993 crash, Reed was commissioner of the Officer of Energy Policy.
Friday's ceremony, which took less than 30 minutes, included both widows, Lane Dolly and Barb Reed Harms.
The plaza building houses the Economic Development office, along with the state Tourism and state Lottery agencies.
Eight people died when the plane went down in Iowa.

Kohler Whitehaven Sink Rack
Hello all,
This is my first post, but have been lurking for some time.
My DW and I will be starting a "refreshening" of our kitchen in July. We signed a contract last month, but the guy is so busy, that is his next slot. Part of what we are doing is the Kohler Whitehaven sink. I know they make a ss sink rack, but is anyone aware of a regular vinyl mat that would fit the sink? Since the drain is in the upper right corner, the demand may not be great enough for a company to manufacture one. Also, any comments on their ss rack would be appreciated.
I am curious about anyone who has the rack as well as this is the sink I am getting in my kitchen. I can say I have had a cast iron sink before and pots and pans will leave marks and over time the bottom of my sink got kind of grayish from all the tiny scratches/marks. So I will definitely be protecting the bottom of my sink.
We bought the rack Kohler makes for the sink, it wasn't that expensive in the context of the build ($80 through Ferguson's wih our builder and he builds about 8 houses a year, I doubt his discount is that big) and I didn't want to be mad at myself if I scratched the sink up.
I have the 36" whitehaven with the kohler ss rack to match. I really like it, and cannot see a reason to get a vinyl mat. The ick factor of a vinyl mat would bother me. I'm no dainty flower in the kitchen, and I have yet to have any scuff marks on the sink.
The Whitehaven is the sink I am getting also. I wanted the corner drain design. I asked my KD about this and he wasn't familiar with it. He had me scheduled for the Dickinson model. He called today and said he found the Whitehaven and likes it so much that it is going to be the apronfront sink that he recommends. He said the design will make for a much easier install. I am so glad I mentioned it to him. I was going to do the white but I wonder if there is a better color choice?

Average Mileage: 142,500 mi (98,000 mi - 180,000 mi)

Replaced front struts Big noise driving over rough roads. $1200 repair bill
Visitor, 1997 BMW 740iL, 180,000 mi
replaced the torsion bars, solved the problem but it took a long time to find the problem.
Visitor, 2000 BMW 740iL, 124,000 mi
I went to firestone and had the vehicle inspected. They said that the bushings were loose so I guess I need to replace them when I can. At around 40 to 50 mph the steering wheel shakes a lot, especially when going over bumps.
Visitor, 2001 BMW 740iL, 143,000 mi
this is a scary feeling when it will not quit shaking so badly at 45 mph !!

mexican roast turkey
Roast Turkey with Mexican Hawthorn and Potato Stuffing
The typical American whose only exposure to Mexican food is through fast food chains or if they're lucky, a local taqueria probably wouldn't know it, but turkey is an important part of Mexican cuisine. Native to the Americas, these birds were one of the staples of Mexican cooking before the arrival of Europeans and they continue to be popular to this day.
There are a great many different Mexican turkey recipes, from tacos to soups, salads to casseroles – and of course, roast turkey recipes like this one. This is a recipe similar to what you might see served in northern Mexico (especially the state of Chihuahua) around the holidays.
There is one ingredient here which may not be terribly easy for American cooks to find – tejocote. This is the crabapple-like fruit of a tree in the hawthorn family (often called Mexican hawthorn). Until recently, the fruit was almost entirely unavailable in the US, but has now begun to be imported legally after years of being one of the most commonly smuggled items at the US-Mexico border. If you cannot find it, Granny Smith apple could be substituted, though the flavor is significantly different. Continue reading

Oh, Snap: "Obama Prepares To Screw His Base"
I appreciate Buzz Feed's Ben Smith giving me a good and hearty belly laugh first thing in the morning with that headline, and even funnier as one starts to read the article
President Obama's enemies often accuse him, in the starkest political terms, of crudely acting to shift resources toward his political base: Green energy donors; single women; Latinos; African-Americans.
But the next 12 months are likely to reveal the opposite. Imminent elements of Obama's grandest policy move, the health care overhaul known as ObamaCare, are calculated to screw his most passionate supporters and to transfer wealth to his worst enemies.
Vincent Price "says" it best
The passionate supporters are the youth, who voted for him by a margin of 60% to 36%, according to exit poll samples of people 29 and under. His enemies are the elderly: Mitt Romney won 56% of the votes from people 65 and over. And while one of ObamaCare's earliest provisions was a boon to the young, allowing them to stay on their parents' insurance through the age of 26, what follows may come as an unpleasant surprise to many of the president's supporters. The provisions required to make any sort of health insurance plan work – not just ObamaCare, but really any plan of its sort – require healthy young people to pay more in health insurance than they consume in services, while the elderly (saved by Sarah "Death Panels" Palin from any serious attempt to ration expensive and often futile end-of-life care) consume far more than they pay in. There is always a push and pull, however, and this year will be spent laying plans to shift the burden further toward the young.
That's the gist of the article, that young people are going to be paying a disproportionate amount for health insurance, and are essentially getting screwed by ObamaCare, legislation which the support in a much higher ratio than any other age group (oh, and that that pesky Sarah Palin stopped any attempt to ration care for old people, which, if you'll remember, we were told didn't exist before the Senate cut it, but the Independent Payment Advisory Board still exists).
And now the young people will learn what a good chunk of the rest of the populace has found out: Obama is always screwing people and ObamaCare, which surely most young supporters never read, is a Bad Idea. The young people should have realized this by now, since they are also one of the population segments which is having a tough time with the jobs market.

Exclusive: Sanofi explores $7 billion-plus drug divestiture - sources
LONDON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - Sanofi SA is looking to sell a portfolio of mature drugs that could fetch between $7 billion and $8 billion, according to people familiar with the matter, yet another example of drugmakers trying to shed non-core assets and focus on high-growth areas.
The French pharmaceutical company is working with Evercore Partners Inc and has contacted potential buyers in the past few months, the people said on Tuesday, asking not to be named because the matter is private.
The drugs for sale include treatments for high blood pressure and cardio-metabolic diseases and have roughly $3.7 billion in combined annual revenue, one of the people said. The portfolio could fetch up to two times that amount, the person added.
Generic drugmakers and specialty pharmaceutical companies are seen as logical buyers for the Sanofi drug portfolio, said the people familiar with the matter.
Sanofi could not be immediately reached for comment, while Evercore declined to comment.
Drug companies are increasingly looking to shed smaller divisions they view as non-core so they can better focus on their mainstay products. They have also shown willingness to consider large asset swaps with rivals to exit weaker businesses and reinforce core areas where they are already top players.
Novarits AG last week announced a major revamp in which it swapped $20 billion worth of assets with GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals Ltd and agreed to sell its animal health arm to Eli Lilly and Co.
Merck & Co Inc is also in the final stages of selling its consumer health unit for close to $14 billion, Reuters reported last week, as its market share in the sector is seen as sub-scale compared with those of market leaders such as Johnson & Johnson.

Couple frustrated with Layton after water main damaged their home a year ago
Ravell Call, Deseret News
LAYTON — Sean and Brooke McClure are all out of patience.
A year ago, a water main in front of their Layton home, 469 S. 450 West, broke, sending water down their driveway and into the basement. They say the city is responsible and they want it to pay for repairs, but Layton officials insist the city is not at fault.
The break on Jan. 3, 2013, happened in the street.
"The water main in front of our house had erupted, and it was shooting the water straight into our driveway, which is very steep, down into the basement," Sean McClure said. "It was filling up so fast."
It took 60 to 90 minutes for someone to show up and shut the water off, he said.
"The water was halfway up the stairs," he said. "It was so powerful, it busted the door right into the house. There's nothing left of that bathroom."
The city sent a disaster cleanup company to clean the home and the fire department to pump the water out. The process took about a week. During that time, the city paid for the couple to stay in a hotel.
"We have a lot of things that are still ruined that we put in storage, just in case they needed to see it," he said.
The driveway was also damaged.
"The water rushed underneath the cement, and it was bubbling up, out from underneath the cement," he said. "When we were parking on the cement, it was cracking underneath our vehicle."
The city fixed part of the sidewalk next to the driveway, but the family wants the city to do more. They hired an attorney to file a lawsuit and are asking for $85,000 to fix all the damage and for the hardship they say they have endured while waiting for things to be restored back to the way they were before the break.
"(It's) very frustrating," Brooke McClure said. "We've been more than patient, waiting for something to happen, and we're kind of at our limit now."
They say they can't afford the repairs, which is why the basement remains empty.
"I'd really like to get my house back in order, and not have it look so chaotic and be able to repair the basement, have it in order again," she said.
They believe the city should pay for the repairs because it was a water line serviced from the city that broke. While the city agrees up to that point, that's where they stop seeing eye to eye.
"They (Utah Risk Management Mutual Association) were not able to determine what the cause of the break was, but we know that it was not because of lack of maintenance," assistant city attorney Steve Garside said.
He added that the city went above and beyond what it was required to do when it sent a cleaning crew and paid for the couple to stay at a hotel.
Because the water main is on city property, the McClures' insurance company won't cover the damage. The McClures say they don't disagree with that. They believe the city should pay. They say they can't afford to pay a lawyer to fight on their behalf.
Adding to Sean McClure's frustration is he had just returned from Afghanistan before the flood. Many of his fellow National Guardsmen helped with the cleanup.
"I've done a lot for this country with my own life," he said, "and to come home and go through this with this city, I just don't feel that what they're doing to us is fair."

BS 14hp drops a cylinder under load, idles great!
I have a BS 400707 14hp 2-cylinder engine on my Craftsman GT6000 44" mower. The engine starts & idles great but when you open up the throttle it misses badly. Engage the deck clutch & it misses even worse. Try to mow my back yard & it completely stops firing on the left cylinder. The right cylinder is thumping right along but the left goes dead at 50% or more throttle under a load. The spark on both cylinders at idle is strong & blue (they both lit me up around the end of the plug boot)
I have:
-Rebuilt the carburator & fuel pump. Used plenty of compressed air on everything.
-Replaced & gapped the sparkplugs to .030"
-Checked ALL the wiring, especially magneto wiring.
-Even check the keyswitch to see if it was grounding the mag (it isn't).
-Replaced intake manifold to carb gasket.
-Replaced fuel lines & fuel filter
-Drained & flushed fuel tank
-Adjusted carb per BS 400000 series manual.
I bought this mower a month ago & it missed at high speed then too. Now it won't even hardly mow because it runs on one cylinder under a load! The "dead" sparkplug is clean (little soot, wet with fuel) while the firing plug is a little bit sooty for normal. Could my valves be out of adjustment? I have zero history on this engine but it has good compression & starts easy. Please let me know what I can try to get this thing mowing again. Thanks.
"Replaced intake manifold to carb gasket"
How about the Intake Manifold to block gasket, is the Intake Manifold tight to block.
" Could my valves be out of adjustment?"
These engine very seldom require valve adjustment, more likely is the valve seat coming out. You need to see if it feels like it has normal, the same, compression on the dead cylinder when it quits.
Walt Conner
The air filters are new. Runs exactly the same with or without air filters. Yes, replaced the gaskets on both sides of the carb spacer block. I just finished mowing at half throttle, it doesn't miss as bad with less throttle even when the governor adds more power. Seems to be more RPM related than load related but adding load when it's missing makes it alot worse. As far as compression goes, I will check it ASAP. My battery has a dead cell so the compression strokes are more pronounced when I'm cranking on it. It seems to have a little more compression hot than cold, which I read as normal. To Walt: So I could be losing a valve seat? Nice. What is involved in fixing that after I pull the head off & remove half the valvetrain? Do they just fall out eventually? You say the valves rarely need adjustment but what if some ham-fisted imbecil set them wrong before I bought it? It has never ran very well at high RPM. I sure appreciate everyone's input on this matter. Thanks to all.
Valve clearance for that engine is .004" - .006" for the Intake Valve and .007" - .009" for the Exhaust. You may be able to remove the inspection plates behind the Intake Manifold and check, much easier with Intake Manifold removed and it was this gasket I was asking about. It calls for checking the clearance with the piston 1/4" down past TDC, not sure how you do this as spark plug comes in from side. When I do it, it is in connection with an overhaul and the heads are off.
You can remove the spark plugs, turn the engine by hand while holding finger over plug hole, you should be able to pretty well tell where TDC is, continue turning a little bit to guess 14" down past TDC.
I said to check compression on dead cylinder when it stop to guess about valve seat OR valve sticking.
Walt Conner
Figured it out finally. Blown head gasket, DUH. Don't have a compression gauge, gonna have to get one. The exhaust valve lash is .012" but I can live with that. Both valves look good & move good, head is square, ports are clear, spark is hot, carb is rebuilt. Just get the gaskets & off I go. Gonna change both head gaskets while I'm at it. Will let you know if it works. Thanks again.
OK, I pulled both cylinder heads, cleaned everything (piston, valves, comb. chamber), replaced both plugs (gapped them too), & installed new head gaskets on both cylinders. Torqued it all to 20-ft/lb. JUST LIKE BEFORE: IDLES GREAT & DROPS THE LH CYLINDER UNDER LOAD.
ONE THING I noticed: The valve lash on the LH cylinder exhaust valve was .140" when it should be .07" - .09". I can hear that valve ticking lighly at idle but I really dont think it is hurting anything at all. Surely not enough to completely kill that cylinder under load. The valves all move smoothly & the valve seat are clean.
What the hell do I do now???
Probably pull the carb back apart purely for lack of a better idea. I just want to mow my stupid yard man!
I'm going to pick on your decimal placement habits as a decimal place has great significance.
Surely you meant the valve clearance for the left exhaust to be .014" (14 thousandths") and not .140" (140 thousandths") which would be greater than 1/8" (.125").
Similarly, .07" is 7 hundredths", .09" is 9 hundredths".
Now that we took care of the details on decimalling, on to the main topic.
When you had the heads off and were turning the engine while watching the valves, did you take note of how much each valve raised up from its seat when the cam opened each valve? Or did you pretty much just note that each valve was opening, and not measure the height it raised to?
Here is where I'm going with this:
You may have a worn out cam on the lobes serving one of the valves on the left cylinder.
Essentially, when an engine is idling, it requires so little air and fuel to operate at that RPM that even a worn cam lobe can still furnish the cylinder with enough air and fuel for it to seem OK and match the power output (which ain't much at idle) of the right cylinder.
But, when the engine is asked to run at a higher RPM, and to do some real work, the worn cam lobe can't open the valve high enough, or keep it open for long enough time, to either "charge the cylinder" on intake stroke (if it's an intake lobe) or to purge the exhaust gases (if it's an exhaust lobe).
Either lobe being worn down would drastically reduce power output on the cylinder at higher RPM.
At idle RPM, the affected cylinder might seem quite normal.
While your head gaskets are still new, it won't hurt to pull the heads back off and carefully measure how high each valve rises up when it is operated by that cam lobe.
You can re-use the gaskets without fear because they have not deteriorated.
And I can tell you right away that .014" when it should be .007" to .009" is a pretty significant difference and will reduce power output somewhat at higher RPM, but I doubt that's the "whole story", but it could be a subtle indicator that the cam has lots of wear.
Thanks! Yes, my astonishment at the fact that the head gaskets didn't fix it temporarily clouded my math skills.
So you think it has a worn out cam lobe? That would explain the lack of high RPM function. That valve is the only one with an out of spec valve lash. I didn't measure the valve life but they all appeared to be opening the same height. I will pull the heads & measure the valve lift with a digital micrometer. Jeez, I hope it's not a cam lobe. That means gutting the engine.
Two different people told me to tear down the carburator again because they have rebuilt those carbs & had them run like crap. They tore them down again & reassembled them & they ran fine. I'm not really buying that because if 1 cylinder runs strong & the other cylinder completely quits firing under load it's gotta be a cylinder specific problem. If it was the carb I would think both would run bad.
I was wondering about the float height on these carburators. I never changed mine but I'm wondering if it could be too low (fuel level in bowl too low). But again I would think that if the carb were running out of fuel under load it would affect both cylinders. Anyway, does anybody know the float height on the factory carb on a B&S 400707 14hp twin?
I will reassemble the carb & pull the heads again to measure the valve lift. Thanks mownie!

Mill Creek teen creates monorail video game
Computer game lets players drive past major Seattle landmarks
Dan Bates / The Herald
Heatherwood Middle School student McKaulay Kolakowski is excited about creating his Monorail computer game in time for the 50th anniversary of the Seattle Center Monorail.
Dan Bates / The Herald
On a laptop computer borrowed from his dad, Heatherwood Middle School student McKaulay Kolakowski has designed a Monorail computer game (below) in time for the 50th anniversary of the Seattle Center Monorail that opened March 24, 1962.
McKaulay Kolakowski has designed a Monorail computer game in time for the 50th anniversary of the Seattle Center Monorail that opened March 24, 1962.
Dan Bates / The Herald
McKaulay Kolakowski has designed a Monorail computer game in time for the 50th anniversary of the Seattle Center Monorail that opened March 24, 1962.
His deadline is getting closer. The Heatherwood Middle School student wanted his monorail game to be perfect before March 24, which marks the 50th anniversary of the Seattle Center Monorail.
McKaulay, 14, sat with his father's laptop at the kitchen table in his home last week. He opened the game, pressed a button on the keyboard and watched as the monorail's doors slid open, then closed.
"I'm really pleased with that," he said.
McKaulay has worked since August on the game that allows players to choose a red or a blue monorail and then drive it along the track, passing Seattle landmarks and buildings that include the Space Needle, Experience Music Project, Bank of America and Macy's.
He built the game using Scratch, a programming software for beginners. He was introduced to it over the summer at a computer animation course at Lakeside School in Seattle.
McKaulay was inspired by an interactive cable car on the San Francisco Cable Car website. He decided to combine his life-long love of trains and his interest in the history of the Seattle Center and came up with an idea for his monorail game.
McKaulay researched the 1962 Seattle World's Fair and discovered the Seattle Center Monorail was built for the event. He learned the monorail opened to the public about a month before the fair began and was built by Alweg Rapid Transit Systems.
"I learned they pioneered the monorail design and that it can go up to 50 mph on its track, which is pretty amazing," McKaulay said. "I thought the history of how it came to Seattle was interesting."
McKaulay spent over 200 hours programming his game, using Google Street View to make it reflective of the real monorail's surroundings and keeping everything to scale. He spent almost a whole weekend designing the Macy's building.
"I think one of my longest buildings to make was the Macy's building just because that's one of the most massive buildings on the route," he said. "I was making sure the (building's) lines weren't crooked. You might have a jiggly line. I wanted to go a step beyond."
In the future, the game can include more of Seattle's landmarks and businesses that aren't part of the actual monorail's route, which runs between the Seattle Center and Westlake Center.
"The neat thing is if people get interested in this, it doesn't have to end where the monorail does," said his father, Giles Kolakowski. "McKaulay can make it go by anything."
McKaulay is building a website, www.McKaulay.com, where he plans to share his completed work. He'll ask if his game can be featured as part of the Seattle Center Monorail and Seattle Center websites.
If that happens, McKaulay said his goal would then be to sell sponsorships to businesses to be part of the game. He'd use any money made off the game to help pay for an 11-day trip to China he's scheduled to take this summer with other Heatherwood students.
"It may be ambitious," McKaulay said.
He has ridden on the Seattle Monorail multiple times and has traveled on monorails at Disneyland and in Las Vegas. McKaulay hopes people enjoy his work.
Anyone who's heard about Seattle's monorail "may think this is kind of fun," he said. "I think people who have ridden it in the past would really find it fun."

Just as described on the website. The wood is beautiful and sturdy.
Very attractive and sturdy piece of furniture. Arrived with two damaged legs but Overstock replaced within 10-14 days. One drawer-slide had issues but was fixed with a screw. Drawers pull pretty far out. We use them for our keys and now we never misplace them. Looks great in the hallway with matching hurricane type lamps and a clock. Packed very securely.
I was very pleased with the product - very easy to put together - altough one leg was slightly damaged which they are going to replace.
I ordered this table for an entry and it fits very nicely in the spot. The table arrived very well packed and assembly was a breeze. Once again I was very pleased with my Overstock purchase.
Looks good and would use in an entryway. But too low for what I wanted, but I have kept it. Was very easy to assemble, the glass seem sturdy and drawers work well, do not stick or run off track. If it had been a larger size :taller mainly and more substantial looking I would have been VERY pleased.
I purchased this table to fit along the wall near my dining room table and a chair that sits in the corner of the room. i purchased it because it will accomodate 2 ottomans underneath, which is always a plus in a small condo. this was the only table i found that had such interest as the glass covered shelf in the center. there are 2 drawers which holds all of my cd's. i absolutely love this table. it does not take up much room, and looks so nice in the room. it is a medium oak and blends with the browns in the room. the table came VERY well packed and nothing was damaged or scratched. it was easy to put together - basically just screwing in the legs, but it is very heavy and a little awkward for one person to maneuver. Btw overstock had the best price on this table
The table is great. It came fully assembled except for the legs (very easy to attach). It looks just like in the picture/description. I think it's a beautiful table, and the glass top is a nice touch. I use it as a vanity table. It's tall enough for a chair to push under, but not fully for your legs unless you get a shorter chair. The drawers are smooth and very deep. Glad I like it so much. Returning it would have been a bear, as the packaging was very intricate and I don't know if I could have repackaged. Great buy!
very simple assembly - just putting on the legs. nice looking.

Life certainly dictates its own pace. As the demands of busy schedules pile up, it seems a good night's sleep is the first thing to go. The lack of adequate sleep knows no boundaries. Young people suffer from the same decline of proper sleeping habits as often as their parents. And in an effort to compensate for lost time, the loss of sleep carries its own consequences. Sleep is essential not only to getting through daily life, but also improving the quality of it. Here are 3 reasons why a good night's sleep is worth your time.
Pleurisy is inflammation of the membrane between your lungs and ribs, or pleura. The condition, which makes breathing both difficult and painful, often mimics the symptoms of a heart attack.
There are a lot of cheats in the world. This is not including professional rule breakers. The most common are those who cheat themselves.

How far ahead can I assemble scalloped potatoes?
I am having a group of people over Sunday night and need to make a large scalloped potato ( au gratin really) dish.
Can I make it Saturday and bake it Sunday night?
It will be served buffet style.
Raw potatoes will turn dark if not submerged into a liquid....or slightly precooked.
You can prepare ahead if all the potatoes are "under milk" or partially cooked.
I would partially cook the potatoes, slice and assemble the dish, then cook.....and remember that a really big dish can take a long time to cook or even heat up if it's been refrigerated.

Or, you can make/bake the entire thing Saturday and warm it up Sunday. Our family -- and I personally -- think(s) the dish actually improves overnight. Wouldn't do this with small/shallow version but the 3-4 quart batches I make work wonderfully. Sometimes add a little milk or cream upon re-heat.
