There are no surprises here! Bill Mikulak reviews this home video turned motion picture that is sure to please young Doug fans.
All "making of" books are derived from the same mold and if you've read one studio-sanctioned "making of" book, then you've read them all. Jeff Kurtti's A Bug's Life: The Art and Making of an Epic of Miniature Proportions is much like the film -- there is plenty of visual eye candy that is a joy to look at, but content-wise, it's rather slim. The book is wonderfully designed by Gregory Wakabayashi with a lot of well-chosen production art, stills, concept drawings and the like. Interestingly enough, mixed in with the pre-production artwork is conceptual design work by world-renowned children's illustrator William Joyce, who is also the creator of the CG-animated series, Rolie Polie Olie. In fact, the artwork is so nicely reproduced, many times I was tempted to tear out the beautifully printed images and paste them on my wall. On the other hand, the "making of" portion was rather mundane and shallow. Of course, there were the prerequisite quotes from the creative and technical people involved, explaining how they were striving to do something different, thereby justifying their reasons for making the film. There were many nougats of interesting information buried within the fluff, but 128 pages seems rather short especially when most of the pages are dominated by imagery. One of the many interesting facts left out of the book is how Robert De Niro and Alec Baldwin were originally offered the role of the villain Hopper before Kevin Spacey was finally selected. Another is how a boring entomologist was brought in from UC Berkeley who went on and on about how insects moved. It's these cool factoids that animation fans like to read and unfortunately, it's the exact type of thing this book leaves out. Kurtti makes it a point that this film was made by artists and not computers, but let's not forget that after all, this is a CG film. That being said, the book skips over too many technical aspects involved in the making of a computer generated film to justify itself as a true "making of" book. A Bug's Life: The Art and Making of an Epic of Miniature Proportions is a handsome entry in the already crowded marketplace of "making of" and "art of" books. Here's what it all boils down to - one's enjoyment of "making of" books is directly proportional to one's enjoyment of the particular film the book is about. Therefore, if you liked A Bug's Life, then this book will make a wonderful addition to your collection; and if not, then it might be a wise bet to keep your distance from this title. A Bug's Life: The Art and Making of an Epic of Miniature Proportions by Jeff Kurtti. New York City, New York: Hyperion, 1999. 128 pages. ISBN: 0-7868-6441-9. (U.S. $40, Canada $54 hardcover) Amid Amidi is the Associate Editor of Animation World Magazine.

The Sopranos
The relationship between actors and the parts they play is an odd one.
Directors in the pursuit of authenticity in their production often cast characters pulled from the same streets, and sometimes with associations to the same criminal societies from which they draw their artistic inspiration. When these actors start getting into trouble for much the same things as their characters did, it poses an interesting question: which came first, the actor or the gangster?
Here's a few notable examples of actors turned gangster, or is it the other way around?

UNO's late-game pressure defense, steal and dunk show made the final few minutes exciting.
But Terell Parks had long since taken care of the outcome.
First-place Western Illinois' 6-foot-9 big man had three baskets in the first 1:36 of the second half and made 6 of 7 from the field in the first 7:12 after the break to take the Leathernecks' three-point lead to 12.
Then Western Illinois, after building the lead to as many as 22 points, withstood a furious late UNO rally for an 89-74 Summit League victory on Saturday before 1,017 at Ralston Arena.
"Terell is as dominant a big man as there is in this league," Western Illinois coach Jim Molinari said. "He's 6-9. He's about 240. And he's so quick. Those are the type of players who usually play in the Big Ten. Terell has that type of athletic presence."
UNO (5-15, 2-6 Summit) battled back late, scoring on five straight possessions — including four steals that led to a CJ Carter layup and three Justin Simmons dunks. The last of the highlight-reel sequence was Simmons' alley-oop dunk in transition that cut the deficit to 77-70 with 1:46 to go.
"Maybe we could have gone to it earlier," UNO coach Derrin Hansen said of the Mavs' full-court pressure. "I don't know, with the depth of our bench, if we could do that for 40 (minutes), but I knew we could do it for eight or nine if we had to. It worked for us for a little bit."
Parks, who had 19 points and 11 rebounds in 29 minutes, scored while being intentionally fouled after the Leathernecks broke the pressure on the next possession and appeared to injure his left wrist while crashing to the floor.
Molinari said the All-Summit League candidate would have X-rays when the team returns to Macomb, Ill.
"I have concerns," Molinari said.
Ceola Clark hit one of the two free throws for the intentional foul to make it 80-70, then Remy Roberts-Burnett made another free throw with 1:33 left to cap a four-point possession and give the Leathernecks an 81-70 lead, all but sealing the outcome.
Western Illinois (14-3, 6-0), ranked 22nd in the CollegeInsider.com mid-major poll, won its 11th straight game.
UNO, which entered the day sixth in the nine-team Summit League, showed more incremental signs of progress in its second year in Division I.
"Three weeks ago we were getting blown out, but things are starting to change," UNO wing Alex Phillips said. "We're a lot more competitive on the defensive end."
The Mavs jumped out to an 11-2 lead and led or were tied for the first 17� minutes. Then came the wild finish.
"It's hard when you're transitioning, but you could never say they weren't playing for their lives," Molinari said. "I told our team that they're well-coached, they'll never quit, and they have very good athletes.
"We don't have an athlete like Simmons or Phillips, and you could tell. Luckily the clock ran out, because they just made play after play."
Simmons led UNO with 18 points, while Phillips added 13.
The Mavs shot only 32.1 percent (9 of 28) in the first half, and needed a 12-for-15 finish from the field to get from 33.3 percent to 44.4 at game's end against the Summit's best defensive team.
"That defense was different," Simmons said. "They're big and athletic in there. ... That's a pretty good defensive team."

Detailed Description:
Our project intends to study the 6-month efficacy of a pharmacist-led group intervention program that simultaneously target diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia. We hypothesize that pharmacist-led group interventions on a weekly basis for 4-weeks then on a monthly basis for 5 additional months may achieve concomitant reductions in hemoglobin A1c, lipids and blood pressure. We are proposing a pilot randomized controlled study to test the efficacy and feasibility of this approach.

Cosmo LatinaWe all fight in relationships, but did you know there's actually a right way to do it? These tips will actually make your relationship stronger after an argument. By Anita Alma
Ditch These Words
"We need to talk." Nothing good usually follows that sentence, especially if you say it with major attitude. It will immediately put him on edge. Instead, start by letting him know you want to discuss "X" because of the way it made you feel.
Act Like You Want to Hear Side
Your body language says more than you think. Sit up straight, keep your hands clasped to avoid f lailing them around, look him in the eye, and nod to show you are listening. "If you're talking with your arms crossed, leaning back, or scowling, he will be on the defense from the start," says Rachel DeAlto, author of Flirt Fearlessly.

Be Quiet
"One of the biggest mistakes women make when they argue is not knowing when to stop talking," says relationship expert Michelle R. Callahan, PhD. "Women usually have a laundry list of concerns and sometimes you can't address everything in one conversation." Take a breath and let him get a word in. Really listen to what he is saying. If you keep talking over each other, you won't resolve anything.
Drop the Drama
Women tend to get very dramatic during fights. Don't scream, throw things, or get hysterical. It just makes you seem irrational or, even worse, unstable. Just walk away and return after you've calmed down. You have a better chance of getting your point across if he doesn't think you're crazy.
Related: How to Get Over a Breakup
Admit When He Makes a Good Point
Believe it or not, he's not always wrong. Tell him that you understand where he is coming from on certain specific points. This will definitely catch him off guard and make him feel like he should return the favor.
Watch the Waterworks
It's okay to cry during an argument. Sometimes it's the best way to show your partner how upset you are. However, breaking into tears all the time sends the wrong message. "He'll feel like you're acting and using your tears to manipulate him," says Dr. Callahan.
Related: Should You Be Jealous Of Your Boyfriend's Best Friend?
Keep Your Fight From Getting Worse
If you realize that you're close to saying something you will absolutely regret, your best bet is to stop talking and count to ten instead. "Tell him the conversation is going in a bad direction and that you both need a time out. If he ignores you and keeps going, just keep quiet," says Dr. Callahan. Remember that at least one of you has to act like an adult.

Port Combination (change selection): Athens (Piraeus), Greece to Venice, Italy
Athens has quite a reputation to live up to. Named for Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, the city is credited with being the cradle of European civilization and birthplace of democracy. Ruins and relics of its glory days are scattered throughout the modern city, popping up where you least expect them. Its crowning glory is the Acropolis, perched atop a hillside, and covered in carved and columned temples of varying degrees of antiquity. Not quite so old is the Plaka, an appealing neighborhood for a stroll down cobblestone streets, past old mansions and a plethora of outdoor tavernas ideal for watching the world go by, while munching tasty Greek snacks.
Venice is one of the world's most beautiful cities, and arguably the most romantic. An independent city-state and major power during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, it was a center of commerce in silk, grain, and spices, and home to a wide range of interesting characters from Marco Polo to Casanova. Consisting of more than 100 small islands connected by arched bridges, its thoroughfares are canals, and transportation options are limited to boats and your own two feet. After the requisite gondola ride, do stroll the winding traffic-free streets along the canal sides – prime real estate for the palaces of the aristocracy of old.

Airbus A-380 starts service at Dulles
Just before two Monday afternoon, the world's largest passenger jet, the Airbus A-380, rolled down the runway at Dulles Airport.
The Air France flight from Paris marked the start of daily service in the Washington region for the super jumbo jet.
"I just can't imagine how it ever gets off the runway," said Dan Ranard, a passenger.
Rob Yingling, of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, said a new fueling pit was installed to accommodate the extra fueling capacity on the Airbus. A few taxi-way signs were moved as well.
One of the things they also had to change here Dulles were the jet ways. Since the Airbus has two floors, there are now two separate jet ways for both the lower and upper levels.
"I think it's awesome as long as there still some legroom and it's not shrunk anymore," said passenger Ben Ranard.

Numi Emperor's Puerh Black Tea -- 16 Tea Bags
Did not enjoy this tea at all
I am sure it has it's health benefits and what not, however I could not get over the very pungent barnyard smell and taste. Not recommended for those who do not enjoy the smell or flavor of a barnyard. Almost passed out as soon as water hit the cup!
November 18, 2012
I luv Numi!
Numi teas are the best there is. This particular Numi tea is smooth and full of flavor. Needs no sugar; it is perfect as is. Every Numi tea I have tried is wonderful.

When Our Labels Fail: The End of 'Pro-Choice'
Displaying 110 of 12 comments
audrey ruth
Since abortion has been legalized, almost 60 MILLION innocent babies have died. There is no excuse for this, and America will be judged. We have God's Word on it.
Pro-life is a misleading label anyway. When abortion was illegal, a lot of poor women died horribly. There's nothing pro-life about illegal abortion.
Christie Esau
"We should recognize that categories that are not from God are limited. Even if useful and good for a time, that usefulness and goodness may be passing." Thank you for this thoughtful comment! Labels and categories can certainly be helpful for understanding, but they shouldn't serve as the be all and end all--especially when it comes to complex issues such as abortion. Getting caught up in rhetoric dehumanizes and desensitizes, which certainly isn't what God wants for our society.
J Thomas
Karen, the God of Christianity is a God of truth, not a God of half-truths. The phrase "Pro-Choice" is a half truth. One half of the truth is that a person can choose, the other half of the truth (that dare not be admitted by proponents) is that the choice is to kill children at their most vulnerable. We need to be clear and precise in our language. We only propagate confusion by continuing to allow half-truths to dominate our culture. Samuel Johnson, the creator of the dictionary, decided to define words for that reason...to maintain clarity in the English language. So we can choose to lie to ourselves about abortion, or we can be honest with ourselves and each other about it.
Stephen Leonard
No matter the games played with nomenclature to assuage guilt or clarify what one believes as right, wrong, godless, godly, good, evil, et cetera, God's Word and His character could not be clearer that we are to call sin sin and not equivocate. Give me an example where God equivocates delineating what sin is and isn't. Mercy from God does not cease to call sin sin. The sanctity of life is quite clear in Scripture. You shall not murder! The practice of homosexuality is an abomination to God. Man may come up with many inventions, but he cannot change God's character or transform darkness to light, no matter how many names he invents to change sin to righteousness. So I am not sure I can say hallelujah to the gist of the article, when it seems we are attempting to lighten the burden of sin, possibly because we sense we can make a relationship for the goal of evangelism. Too much evangelistic effort aims to first soft peddle sin to set the hook so to speak. Doesn't work.
Karen Smith
@J Thomas - I disagree about it starting out as meaningless. Pro-Choice doesn't necessarily mean pro-abortion - yes, it means abortion should be protected and accepted, but it doesn't mean it should be something that should be sought out. Saying someone is pro-abortion (as opposed to saying they are pro-choice) is akin to saying someone is pro-murder (because they believe in the death penalty). (Please note that I'm both and neither; I am of the opinion that abortion is both a sin against God and a crime against humanity - but I'm also of the opinion that the first shouldn't drive laws that apply to those that don't believe the way I do, and that the latter is an opinion I have, not indisputable fact - I'll push for a constitutional ban on abortion, but while it's legal I won't support efforts to restrict it through deceitful laws and underhanded means.)
J Thomas
"Pro-Choice" is a term that is meaningless because it began meaningless. It's Orwellian Newspeak meant to disguise the real nature of abortion behind the guise of something everyone wants. The term never had meaning because it did not represent the true definition of the thing being described. Calling abortion "choice" is about as dishonest as you can get. It's a shame that we as a culture have let people get away with that for so long. Call it abortion. Thats what it is. Don't mute the word because you are afraid that people will see it for what it is in all of its gruesomeness. Killing a child is not "choice". It's "murder".
Steve Skeete
If I am not mistaken the terms 'pro-life' and pro-choice were considered acceptable to both camps because the word abortion made the 'choice' camp uncomfortable and the word 'anti' made the 'life' camp appear too negative. It was just rhetorical make-up, until both sides started to take their names too seriously. It was not long before 'choice' and 'life' meant much more than simple being 'for' or 'against' the termination of unborn life. I do not believe we will get rid of these or other labels, especially since more and more it is neither open discussion or truth that either side is after in these 'culture wars'. After all, war is about winners and losers, and names, like uniforms, are intended to mark the other side clearly as the enemy. It would be interesting though, to see what new names the antagonists can come up with as the abortion battle rages over the next forty years.
Karen Smith
"Labels are for foods, not people." I'll post a more thorough comment later. I will note that many people that register as "Independent" are not, in fact, Indepenedent; many are instead Republican- or Democrat-leaning, and maintain a theoretical independence because they don't want to be lumped in with people they may later disagree with.
Tim Fall
Karen, at the risk of engaging in rampant binomialism, may I say that I really like this post (as opposed to not liking it)? You got it right with how limited our own constructs can be, and how unlimited God's eternal ones are. Cheers, Tim (timfall.wordpress.com) P.S. to Jamie - "I'll vote for the godly man every time." Ah, but would you vote for the godly woman? ;-) Sorry, couldn't resist.

H.S. wrestling: Ridgewood's Joe Oliva off to 15-0 start
Oliva has actually been building since the Robinson loss in the district final.
For the first time in his wrestling career, he devoted his summer to getting as much time on the mat as he possibly could.
"I must have wrestled something like 60 matches," he said. "I wanted to get in some tough matches so that when I get down to the state tournament I'm ready for them."
Ready for matches like his 6-4 quarterfinal loss in overtime to top-seeded Robert Trombetta in the state tournament last year.
A win there would have guaranteed Oliva a medal. Instead, he lost in the wrestlebacks and came home empty-handed.
"I feel like I wrestle well on my feet but I have to be a better mat wrestler," Oliva said. "I need to be able to ride kids out and turn them because that's what you need to be able to do in Atlantic City to win those tough, close matches, 2-0."
"He has improved tremendously on his feet, and I think he's better in the neutral position," Watson said. "He's focusing more on controlling other wrestlers more when he's on top and in the offensive position."
He may have his chance to try out some of what he's learned on some of the state's best even before the tournament season starts. Ridgewood is scheduled to face North Bergen and two-time state-place-winner Anthony Giraldo later this month and Watchung Hills and returning state champion Mike Magaldo next month.
"You need those tough matches to get ready for what you'll face in the state tournament," Oliva said.

3. Virtual Assistant
The nitty-gritty: With shrinking payrolls, there's been a jump in demand from small-business operators to executive-level professionals to hire virtual personal assistants to do various administrative tasks. Duties range from making travel arrangements to sending out letters and other support services that can easily be handled remotely via e-mail and phone.
The job can involve sitting for long periods, so take precautions to prevent eyestrain, stress and repetitive motion ailments such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Look for openings and information at the International Virtual Assistants Association, or at virtualassistantjobs.com and teamdoubleclick.com.
The hours: Flexible, including split shifts and part time
Median pay range: $15 to more than $30 an hour
Qualifications: Employers increasingly demand knowledge of computer software applications, such as desktop publishing, project management, spreadsheets and database management. You should be skilled in both Microsoft Word and Excel (for financial statements). Two years' work experience in an office administrative function is helpful.
Virtual assistant training programs are available at many community colleges. At Portland Community College, for example, courses required to earn a virtual assistant certificate can be completed in two terms, and all of them may be taken online, although traditional in-person classes are available for most. While there's currently no set standard of certification for virtual assistants, the IVAA does offer three certifications that require passing a written test: Certified Virtual Assistant, Ethics Checked Virtual Assistant and the Real Estate Virtual Assistant. Hats off to the invisible workforce.

Rated 4.3 out of 5Â by 6
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Aesthetic God Not what you think
Overall I loved it but when I saw that it says "Mexico" on both sides I was pretty upset. It says in the description that it would say "Mexico" on one side and "El Tricolor" on the other but it didn't. If I was making a National soccer team scarf especially with Mexico I wouldn't have put "El Tricolor' but instead just leaving it as "El Tri"

New School Building To Be Named For Soto
January 15, 2013 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
STRATFORD, Conn., (UPI) – The Stratford, Conn., Town Council Monday voted to name a new school building after Victoria Soto, a teacher who was killed in the Newtown school shootings.
Soto, who graduated from Stratford High School in 2003, was 27 years old when gunman Adam Lanza killed her, five other staff members and 20 children at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14.
"In the days since the tragedy in Sandy Hook, the stories of bravery and heroism by Stratford's own Victoria Soto have been both heart-wrenching and abundant," Mayor John Harkins said in a statement, WVIT-TV, West Hartford, reported.
"She gave her life protecting children, and we must make sure her sacrifice is never forgotten. Over the last couple of weeks, I have met with Victoria's family and discussed how the town can recognize her in a meaningful and appropriate way. Her family has shown amazing strength and resilience in remembering and honoring Victoria's life," the mayor said.
The new building has been approved for the campus of Honeyspot Elementary School, and construction will begin in the summer, the TV station said.

We Jainas believe that there is no Supreme Being who regulates the events in this universe. There is no divine intervention in the lives of the worldly beings. We Jainas do believe that when a soul becomes free from all bondage of karmas, it becomes pure. Such pure souls are called God (Arihantas and Siddhas). Thus, God is a pure soul. They donot reward or punish us.
We worship Arihantas and Siddhas as ideals for following their virtues. We also get good thoughts and feelings when we visit our temples for prayer and worship. Such prayer and worship lead us towards spiritual advancement.
Namokar Mantra is the biggest reverence mantra.
The teachings of Jain Religion are
Ahimsa - Practice of Non-violence, Satya - Neither to tell a lie nor cause others to tell Acauraya - Non-stealing Brahmacarya - Chastity Aparigraha - Non- attachment to worldly things and pleasures.
Live and Let Live is the sermon of Bhagwan Mahavir.
Three jewels of jainism which constitute the path of salvation Right Faith (Samyak Darshan) Right Knowledge (Samyak Gyan) Right Conduct (Samyak Charita)

Hi from Wisconsin
I've had an LG Genesis for a yr and just got a SG tab 2 7.0 a few months ago. This looked like a great resource site...just to keep up with all the changes that take place. I've run into a few snags here and there but usually figure things out. What helps are sites like this where you can try and keep up with things. I look forward to learning more...thanks for the great site..

Hiya! Mackenzie here. I'm one of the biggest animal lovers you'll ever meet. I'm always trying to do things to help animals and involve myself in getting active for animal rights. I have 4 awesome animal buddies living with me- a dog, cat, ferret, and leopard gecko. Animals are my world, and I live to speak up for them. I don't have too many human friends, as I usually keep to myself and the few I've come attached to, but that doesn't mean I'm not as friendly as can be! Looking good is my thing.. Vegan clothing and cosmetics are always in style! ;)
Enjoys life as it comes!

Petition to legalize unlocking reaches 100K signatures, warrants White House response
With over 100,000 signatures (and counting), an open petition asking the White House to legalize unlocking cell phones could elicit an official response from the Obama administration. Currently, 100,000 signatures within the first month of a petition's life is the minimum activity required before White House officials respond to a "We the People" submission.
"The Librarian of Congress decided in October 2012 that unlocking of cell phones would be removed from the exceptions to the DMCA." the petition begins. "As of January 26, consumers will no longer be able unlock their phones for use on a different network without carrier permission, even after their contract has expired."
The Library of Congress recently failed to renew a 2012 decision which temporarily legalized the unlocking cellular devices. It's worth noting that jailbreaking a smartphone was deemed legal in 2010 and still remains so, although performing the same ritual on tablets or game consoles will put you squarely in violation of the DMCA.
So, how'd the Library of Congress end up with the responsibility of determining the legal viability of unlocking cell phones in the first place? The Digital Millennium Copyright Act, a bill drafted in 1996 and updated in 2000, prohibits users from circumventing any mechanism intended to restrict access to a device, media or software -- including cell phones. This is where the Library of Congress comes in -- the DMCA bestows our nation's grandest library with the authority to grant exemptions to this provision.
The administration recently upped the number of signatures required from 25,000 to 100,000 -- a change possibly prompted by a widely-signed petition demanding the construction of a Death Star. The White House issued a refreshingly humorous response titled, "This Isn't the Petition Response You're Looking For", citing a projected cost of $850,000,000,000,000,000 and a fundamental design flaw which allows the fearsome intergalactic planetary destroyer to be bested by a single, one-man ship.
The pro-unlocking petition, on the other hand, is a little more down to Earth. Its author requests that the White House, "ask the Librarian of Congress to rescind this decision, and failing that, champion a bill that makes unlocking permanently legal."
If you would like to add your own signature, you may do so here.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
I am one of the 100k who signed this.
The law states that wireless companies are no longer required to unlock phones, even AFTER a contract has been successfully completed!
Bad bad bad.
I hate to say this but I dont see this Law changing anytime soon. Even with 100k signatures. The Lobbyests have more money and pull then 100k ppl signing a piece of paper. Its the cellphone carriers game. If you want to use their services and infrastructure you have to play by their rules. Unfortunatly they have lobbyed for this and in the end they have the power. Now I know ppl are going to post how unfair it is and how its their device and they should be able to do with it as they wish. I agree, you SHOULD!! But with all the fraud that the cellphone carriers have to deal with, I can see WHY they implimented this Law. Its all about the money. There is a lot of fraud and when someone commits fraud to get a device, they normally have to unlock it to use it on another carrier. Well carrier A looses out on all the money from both the phone and service and the early disconnect fees. So where its mainly a raging inconvenece for the consumer, this is just another way the carriers can protect themselves. Im 100% sure this Law wont go away until the carriers have a way to make sure that they can recoup any money lost.
Gee! If petitions really worked. Unfortunately, Obama is one of them. Yes, like congress, believing that entrenched companies should be able to limit consumer choice, and shelter huge stockpiles of profit off shore. Good luck! Michael
It should be allowed after the contract is over. It's then fully paid for and your property.
Go here and let Mr Billington know what you think of his decision.

Bad bad bad.
My understanding they are not required to unlock it after the contract but we can still legally do it or pay some one to do it.
Signed, to be fair you can just sell your old phone on ebay but this law makes it unreasonably hard for your average person who does not use ebay to get any value from their phone after their contract expires and they change carriers. greedy maggots
If apple will allow its customers to jailbreak and unlock their iDevices, I think it will increase its marketing.

Thank you for your help in resolving your warranty inquiry as efficiently as possible.
This short instructional video will help you assemble and use your new SideCar:
Three important details that didn't make into the video:
The expander wedge should be threaded onto the bolt so that its angled side runs up against the angled side of the stem, reference the video for the correct orientation.
Insert the front stem into the bike so that 3-3/4" (95mm) of the stem is outside of the frame tube, then adjust the rear stem so that the platform is parallel to the center line of the bike. This ensures that there is enough of the stem engaged with the frame, but still allows room for the KickBack or kickstand.
The large Nylock nut may not be screwed all the way down on some axles. It is a Nyloc so there is little chance of it unthreading, however you can tighten it down to the stop to reduce the amount of horizontal play in the axle. Some play in the system is normal, do not over-tighten the nut.
If you'd like instructions on how to install the SideCar if you have a Kickback, please see these instructions.
Other Tips and Tricks:
To maximize the life of the SideCar's hinges, lubricate them with a bit of grease during assembly, and periodically thereafter. Keeping the hinges at minimum tension will also prolong the life of the hinges: Minimum tension is the lowest tension where there is no play in the hinge.
Position the load close to the outboard wheel for best handling, and use a strap running from the outboard strap holes over the load to the inboard to keep the cargo from entering the wheel.
Quick Overview
Xtracycle SideCar is designed to install in seconds, providing a huge cargo platform capable of carrying 250 lbs. When not in use, pivot sidecar up and out of the way, reducing rolling resistance and narrowing your ride. Provides unbeatable stability for massive loads.
Deck sold separately. Frame comes with platform template so you can fabricate your own as well.

Juvenile Intensive Probation Supervision is a program designed to divert felony offenders from the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections (ADJC). Each juvenile placed on JIPS is required to participate in a minimum of 32-hours a week of school, work, treatment or community restitution service. Juveniles are on house arrest and are not permitted to leave their residence without first obtaining permission from their probation officer. This program was enacted into law in 1987. The intent of this legislation was to allow juveniles who are adjudicated delinquent the opportunity to remain at home under close supervision by the probation department. Probation officers are required to make weekly contact with these juveniles and their families.
Only those juveniles who would otherwise be considered for commitment to the Arizona Department of Corrections, out-of-home placement or those ordered by the Court are screened for the JIPS Program. Factors that the Court considers when placing a youth on JIPS include:
The Mohave County Probation Department employs JIPS Officers in Kingman, Lake Havasu City and Bullhead City. These caseloads are smaller by statute than standard probation caseloads. Amber Freed, JIPS Supervisor in Mohave County, has oversight responsibility for this program. JIPS is closely monitored by the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) and provides statistical information to the legislature annually.
