A word from Rico's American Grill - Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak
Rico's American Grill brings high-quality, farm-to-table cuisine at an affordable price. Nothing about Rico's is complicated; not the parking, not the prices and definitely not the menu.
Here, it's all about straightforward, locally sourced ingredients. You'll find back-to-basics meals
for breakfast, lunch and dinner in a neighborhood setting. The drink line-up at Rico's is as friendly as the staff. We have daily Happy Hour Specials including The Rico's signature Rough Riders brew, HD TVs for sports viewing. The bar program also includes a wide selection of tequila and margaritas.
Rico's, which is located adjacent to the Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak, is named after a now-defunct 1900s Mercury mine. The restaurant pays tribute to the community's mining history with its mining artifacts and decorum.
Good People. Good food. Good drinks.

Good breakfast buffet. Very good
service. Great atmosphere. Go there! Only downside is their hours of operation which you might verify as they do not seem to follow the hours listed..."
Dined on 8/3/2014
The menu was very limited.
Definitely not up to the atmosphere of the resort. I choose Rico's because we were staying at the Hilton Squaw Peak, having a summer getaway. The resort is upbeat and lively, while Rico's was just dead."
Dined on 7/26/2014
Considering this is attached to
the Hilton I thought the prices were going to be outrageous. I was happy to see they were not and are your typical prices for eating out at a bar and grill. The sweet potato fries were delicious and so was my skirt steak. I loved the little dessert cups they offer so you can sample multiple items. Great staff! I would go back."

Took three people to open our
wine. First, she had no idea how to use the waiter key. She plowed right through the wrap. Then tried to pull the cork through brut strength. Then called over server number two across the tables who couldn't do it either. She screwed the thing so far down the key couldn't have caught the side of the bottle ever. At some point we offers to help and showed them how to use the lever. To which one exclaimed "we are getting schooled tonight". But the cork was so beat up it broke in half. So they called a manager while telling us "we keep telling management we need wine training". Food is ok and some was really good. But it is hotel prices - be warned - for untrained servers."

We ate here several times and had
great food every time."

We had a morning meeting at
Rico's. It was a great atmosphere to relax, chat, eat and even work. This is our second visit to Rico's, but definitely not our last. Not only is the food great, but it's almost the perfect central location for meetings for our staff which are scattered across Maricopa County. Thank you Ricos!"

The service staff was attentive
and accommodated dietary restrictions."
Dined on 10/3/2013
I have only been a patron of this
establishment once. The review that I can give is of one experience. That being said, I think this place has enormous potential to be very good happy hour spot. Since it was not busy at the time I have a arrived, I was promptly seated and taken care of by the host and waiter. There are no complaints of the food and or service, I just wasn't wowed. This is fine, this is just me."
Dined on 9/11/2013
Great venue for a weekend getaway.
Very friendly family and Rico's has a good variety for everyone."
Dined on 8/15/2013
Rico's has evolved since its
takeover at the Hilton resort sits on the corner with agreat patio space and high visibility but the food and service now an add to that! I recommend this sleeper resturaunt and hope others find it!"
Dined on 5/5/2013
we had awful service. food was
great but service was bad! wrong credit card to the wrong person, food not prepared correctly (which is okay because things happen) but nothing was done to make it right!"
Dined on 4/12/2013
We made reservations for our
anniversary because we had our reception at the hotel. When we came in at 6PM there was only 2 other tables with customers. The decore is very dated. The waitress aske if we were guests of the hotel. She was shocked that our response was no. She said, "oh, you must be from the neighborhood." That was the clue that no one comes here willingly. The waitress did her best to tell us the specials, but it came off forced. We ended up waking out before we ate."
Dined on 2/26/2013
I was expecting more, the steak
had no flavor, we waited a long while between plates before someone would come check on us. there was hardly any one there, so no reason for them not to be attentive. Some of the food came out cold. The only thing that was perfect was the cheese cake."
Dined on 2/1/2013
We made a reservation at 5pm for
8pm that same evening, making sure to note that we had a group of 4 plus a highchair. When we arrived, we discovered the dining room was closed and the hostess told us we could sit in the bar or on the patio. She waved us in the general direction we were to go and went back to putting up Christmas decorations. The bar had either two-tops or high-top tables, neither of which would fit our party or a high chair. The patio consisted of mostly couches and coffee tables, but we did find two bistro tables that could be pushed together to fit us and had to track down someone to help us. The server was snippy when we mentioned we didn't know the dining room was closed, but got a little nicer as the bill grew."
Dined on 11/23/2012
Service started out good then
dropped off dramatically. We were abandoned for about half an hour. Food was on par for hotel. Nothing special or memorable. Best part was setting. It's a pretty place. I kept thinking I'd rather have breakfast there."
Dined on 8/24/2012
Wasn't sure because it's a "hotel
restaurant" but I was pleasantly surprised! Food was tremendous. Service was great! It's a must try when I'm the area if you're staying at the hotel or not."

Think I Really Blew It This Time
I have a really bad habit of trying to tow things that should not be towed with the lo boy 154. I had a couple of trees cut down and needed to move the wood to the back of the lot. I Ioaded up my trailer and off I went. I hit a small ditch and the trailer got stuck and the lo boy died. Now it cranks over real hard and makes a noise when it tries to start. I think I may have broken something major. I towed the lo boy back to the shop so it is not stuck in gear. It will sit there until spring. So, what steps should I take to figure out what broke? I am thinking this will be the time for an engine rebuild come spring. I love this little tractor and if I was not such a bonehead I would not have this problem to deal with at all. The tractor is great for mowing but not so much for towing anything heavy. I think I have finally learned the lesson here. One thing I can think of right off is to drop the oil pan to see if I broke something there-crank-rod?? Pretty bummed right now but I will get her fixed and running again. Thanks.
Steve in Iowa
Re: Think I Really Blew It This Time
Check your drive train carefully for some damage. I don't see that towing a load would have done any engine damage. With the oddball drivetrain of the 154 your problem could be between the engine and the clutch.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Re: Think I Really Blew It This Time
Thanks for the response Bigdog. I will check the drive train first. Time to buy a book so I can start looking things over. Cheers.

The manuals for your 154 are available on-line -- that is what I do -- manuals Number Series Cubs - Cub-154 Lo-Boy.

Re: Think I Really Blew It This Time
Starter/generator on the 154?
What kind of noise does the engine make when trying to start?
Could be the jolt moved the battery. Clean up all battery and battery cable connections. Also could have done internal damage to the battery.
Thinking. Had you done some structural or mechanical damage to the tractor - you would know it as it happened.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Think I Really Blew It This Time
Hi Steve,
Take the pin out of the hub, directly behind the engine flywheel, which holds the driveshaft. First thing I would do is to determin if the noise is from the engine or drivetrain. !54's can mak a lot of different noises in the drivetrain.
Good Luck

Re: Think I Really Blew It This Time
Thanks for all the replies. I will not get around to this for a while but will let you all know what I find. I ordered a manual from Binder Books. What ever went wrong I will get it fixed. It is nice to be able to ping the knowledge base here to get some ideas on what to look for.
Re: Think I Really Blew It This Time
Well, I finally got around to some serious trouble shooting. I could not get the crank to turn at all by trying to rotate the crank shaft pulley. When I tried to start her with a fully charged battery all I got was the squealing of the generator/fan belt. So, I decided to pull the mower and drop the pan. I was expecting to see a broken crank or rod but my first glance everything looks to be in one piece. So any ideas on what could be binding things so badly the engine will not turn over? The PTO engages and releases as it should and I can spin the big pulley on the back. The tranny is not locked up as I put it in neutral to put it in the shed. Something is definitely binding some where. I guess I need to take a closer look at the engine internals. Time for a rebuild at this point. The center bearing on the 3260 mower decks wobbles like crazy so that will get fixed as well. Any ideas as to what I broke? As always-thanks for the great advice. I want to get my baby ready for the mowing season. 72 degrees here today.

Re: Think I Really Blew It This Time
Ok, so if I'm reading this correctly, you cannot spin the engine by hand, nor will the starter/generator spin the engine.
With this I would...
1) make sure that the fan belt is tight enough to spin the engine. The one I have torn down now had a loose/old belt and the starter/generator would spin on the belt until I stuck my boot to the belt to cause it to grab and spin the engine. Then it would crank and run just fine.
2) pull the valve tappet cover and attempt (carefully) to pry the valves up one at a time to make sure that they are free and not stuck.
3) engage the PTO pulley and attempt to turn the pulley so that it will back feed the and turn the engine (transmission in neutral)
4) put the tractor in gear and gently rock the rear wheels and see if the fan will move.
If all is good with the above checks then I'd follow Bobs advice and try to narrow down the noise and problem...

Re: Think I Really Blew It This Time
Yes, that is correct-I cannot turn the crank shaft pulley by hand nor will the stater/generator turn it. Last year when I did the damage I could get it to turn over and almost run but it had a knocking sound so I decided to wait until it started to warm up. That is why I expected to see something broken when I dropped the oil pan. I am fairly certain the belt is tight enough but will check it. Am I wrong in assuming that with the tractor tranny in neutral that I should be able to rotate the crank pulley by hand? I will look for the pin Bob mentioned to rule out the PTO. The PTO was not engaged when all of this happened but better to rule it out. I will try your other two suggestions as well. Thanks much for the replies.
Steve -in Iowa
Re: Think I Really Blew It This Time
When you place the transmission in neutral, can you roll the tractor around freely? If so, place the tractor in 2nd or 3rd gear and try to roll it front/back, to see if you can get the drivetrain to turn the engine. If the tractor still rolls freely, while the transmission is in gear, you've likely got a broken pin in the driveshaft coupler. This doesn't have anything to do with why it won't start, but we need to isolate potential problems.
If you did turn the engine by rolling the tractor, now try to start it again with the starter (in neutral of corse). It could be that the engine was stopped at the top of a compression stroke, and the starter would not turn past that point because it had a hard stop. Rolling the tractor (and turning the engine) may get the engine past the compression stroke and make it easier for the starter to turn.
If you could not push the tractor around freely when in neutral, the transmission may be stuck in gear, and may be why you cannot start the engine. Transmission forks may have slipped off and not be shifting properly.
Also, the clutch may be bound and not disengaging when you depress the pedal.
Those are just some thoughts.

Re: Think I Really Blew It This Time
Okay, I just had a short time to try a couple of the suggestions. I put the tranny in neutral and was able to move the tractor back and forth no problems. I put the tractor in 3rd and could not move it at all. Tried 2nd and the same thing. I put it back in neutral and engaged the PTO. I was able to spin the engine without much effort. I tried it back and forth several times to see if it stopped at some point. So it would appear I have no PTO or engine damage. I guess the only things left are the clutch and the tranny. I need to put the oil pan back on and fill it with oil before I try starting it again. If I remove the pin Bill was talking about I assume that would be taking the PTO out of the picture. Since that does not appear to be my problem I will not go that route. Is there an inspection hole or something I can take a look at the clutch? Sorry for the questions. I have a manual coming. I want to get this sorted out so I can use the tractor. Thanks.

Re: Think I Really Blew It This Time
Remove the tunnel cover to expose the clutch and driveshaft. The two side covers may need to be removed as well to open up a bit move space and ease of access.

Re: Think I Really Blew It This Time
Something you said doesn't make a whole lot of sense. You say that "I put it back in neutral and engaged the PTO. I was able to spin the engine without much effort."
By the statement above, did you engage the PTO then turn the PTO by hand, or did you engage the PTO then turn the engine by hand somehow? BIG DIFFERENCE!!!!! My guess is you engaged the PTO then turned the PTO at the mower pulley by hand. The fact that it spun freely just means that the PTO clutch is shot and is not really engaged to the engine, or the PTO belts are broken, or the driveshaft coupler is shot (the pin that we've all been talking about is broken) and all you're doing is turning the drive shaft, and you did NOT turn the engine at all. On a 154, it would be very difficult to turn the engine by engaging and turning the PTO by hand. I would hold off on putting oil back in the engine, as you still have a major problem somewhere.

Re: Think I Really Blew It This Time
Not the first time I have been accused of not making much sense. I put the tranny in neutral-engaged the PTO by pulling up on the PTO lever. I then grabbed the big PTO pulley on the back of the tractor that runs the mower and turned the pulley. It did not turn easily but it did turn-and not at all freely. I know the front crank shaft pulley moved because I put a spot of paint on the belt that drives the fan so I could track it. Pretty sure the crank shaft was turning. Tomorrow I will pull the tunnel cover off. There are a couple of stripped bolts there but now will be a good time to repair them as well. I had already removed the two side shields that expose the back of the engine where the drive shaft and PTO connect to the engine. The PTO belts are intact. Again, I appreciate the input.

Maureen Dowd Op-Ed column contends Sen Ted Cruz and Tea Party Republicans have managed to make Americans look back at the George W Bush presidency with something like nostalgia; notes that Errol Morris documentary The Unknown Known, which explores legacy of Donald Rumsfeld, will probably serve to disabuse Americans of that nostalgia.

A journalist's beheading was retaliation for U.S. airstrikes, a terrorist said.
(RNN) - The list of major companies publicly pleading their case over rising prices and inability to retain workers once the new healthcare law takes effect has become like a row of dominoes.
First, one company said raising prices was an almost certainty and then another. One company threatened to cut hours for full-time workers or cut them altogether and then another said the same thing.
What is now happening is somewhat of a compromise between both those scenarios - Company A is dropping insurance for employees' spouses if they can get it at their workplace. Or, the company is dropping healthcare coverage for all part-time workers and encouraging them to sign up for insurance exchanges established through the Affordable Care Act.
Companies B, C and D like that idea enough to follow suit and keep the dominos falling.
However, it's unlikely that a significant number of large companies will drop healthcare to avoid the cost.
"An increase in costs of a few percent isn't enough to cause widespread changes in benefits," said Larry Levitt, senior vice president at the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Part of the reason behind that rationale is that several things employers have done or threatened to do has already been going on for some time.
Towers Watson, a human resources consulting company, conducted a survey that found 1-in-5 companies already impose a surcharge to insure employees' spouses if they can obtain coverage elsewhere. The average charge is $100 per month.
This month UPS announced it would stop offering healthcare coverage to spouses of 15,000 workers who could get coverage through their own employers. Other companies like Home Depot, Darden Restaurants and the University of Virginia - to name a few - have adopted similar strategies.
Cost-cutting measures are also nothing new, even when that means passing along costs to workers. The rise in employees' contributions to healthcare coverage the past decade has been triple that of wage increases.
The corporate exchange program goes into effect in 2015, a year later than previously planned due to corporate pushback about complicated paperwork and preparation time. That has allowed big businesses several months to get creative in providing coverage options.
There are, however, a number of companies still on the fence about how to proceed - including the nation's second-largest retail chain.
"We haven't made any final decisions because our enrollment period is a little later than everybody else's," Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel said. "So we're still looking at how the law is being shaped and written, what other competitors are doing and we're assessing the landscape to try and determine what's the right thing for us to do as a company."
Another factor is potential misunderstanding of a lengthy and complicated law that everyone from business people, journalists and even legal and health experts are just now coming to grasp.
Earlier this year, a laundry list of fast-food restaurants announced they would raise prices, cut hours or stop hiring full-time employees to avoid costly penalties for not insuring workers.
However, the healthcare law states a company is subject to enforcement of the law when it has 50 employees that work more than 30 hours per week, not one or the other.
Using data from the Pew Research Center and Statista, the average fast-food restaurant in the U.S. in 2012 employed approximately 25 people at any given time. Since a great deal of chain restaurants are individually operated, their shift workers do not count toward their parent companies' register of corporate employees - people who likely already have insurance.
In an effort to keep companies from skirting the new regulations, there is also a formula included in the healthcare law to determine at what point the service of a large number of part-time employees is comparable to that of full-time workers.
Smoke breaks at the office - and everywhere else - could potentially become more costly for people who enroll for healthcare through an exchange.
The law allows a surcharge up to 50 percent of the premium cost for people who use tobacco. It is not mandatory, and some states have already decided not to adopt the surcharge.
Some states had implemented tobacco surcharges well before the passage of the new law. However, the average surcharge under current standards is about 20 percent, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, less than half that under the Affordable Care Act.
The tradeoff is consumers cannot be dropped from coverage for tobacco use or tobacco-related illnesses, another difference from practices under the current system.
There are also new guidelines for a system that provides monetary rewards to people who live a healthy lifestyle.
The ACA promotes employer-sponsored wellness programs by, among other things, returning a percentage of the cost of coverage to people who reduce tobacco use or don't use at all; meet weight or cholesterol goals; or take other steps toward living a healthy lifestyle, even if they are physically disadvantaged.
The Congressional Budget Office estimated non-group premiums for single people would be 10 to 13 percent higher than group plans in the exchanges. However, standard care would be expanded to include things like maternity and mental health.
The federal government will also provide subsidies in the form of tax credits to help people pay for premiums purchased in the exchanges.
"Now we'll have the facts to deal, to push back on some of the misinformation," Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told CNN. "At every point along the way, the misinformation has been wrong, and I'm really anxious for the markets to be up and running so people see what prices are, what options they have; and what we find is that they're thrilled with the choice and the competition."

CNHI News Service
Ten years ago, if you told me Hyundai would be selling a full-size luxury car to compete with the Mercedes S-Class, I'd call you crazy.
For one thing, Hyundai didn't build anything even remotely Mercedes-like in 2004. The Korean company struggled to match Ford and Chevy products back then, much less a legendary, super-expensive German luxury car.
For another, I would have expected Hyundai to learn from one of the biggest flops in recent automotive history, the Volkswagen Phaeton. It was a similar S-Class fighter from a mass-market brand, and it resulted in embarrassingly low sales numbers in the United States — even though it's one of the best luxury cars ever produced, in my opinion.
Despite the long odds, I find myself spending time this week in the 2014 Hyundai Equus, a spectacularly engineered luxury car that draws comparisons not only to the S-Class, but also the BMW 7-Series, Lexus LS and Jaguar XJ.
And unlike the disastrous Phaeton experiment, the Equus seems to be more of a sales success.
Hyundai says the Equus is the top-shopped premium luxury sedan in the nation, well ahead of its exclusive competitors. Its $61,000 base price — thousands less than the competition — is surely a reason for that, but so is its long list of features that make you feel pampered like an 18th century French king.
I'm sure Versailles was a nice place to spend time. Don't get me wrong. But it didn't come with power-closing doors, a power trunk lid, adjustable air suspension, three-zone climate control, heads-up display, heated and cooled front and back seats and window shades that deploy at the touch of a button.
In other words, an Equus makes you feel like Louis XIV, with an entire opulent world right at your fingertips.
With the $7,000 Ultimate Package on my test car, even the back seat seems fit for a king. It includes two digital screens in the front headrests and a suite of buttons and knobs in the center armrest that let you control the navigation and entertainment systems while your driver wafts you from place to place.
Everything about this car seems top-notch, from the soft materials and gorgeous stitching that make you feel like somebody special when you sit in the cabin, to the wild, thrilling sense of speed when you step on the gas pedal.
Power comes from a 5.0-liter V8 that makes 429 horsepower, enough to make this big, heavy car feel nimble when necessary.
And even better than that, the engine sounds spectacular. It's the kind of car that warms your soul when you stomp on the gas pedal and hear that deep, rich exhaust note from the V8.
I see only two downsides to it. One, you can't get it with all-wheel drive, so people who need or want that extra traction will have to look elsewhere. And two, I wish it were slightly quieter on the highway. It's very quiet and smooth, but it doesn't leave me in silent awe at 80 mph like the S-Class does.
That said, the Equus is still one of the best, most opulent luxury cars I've ever driven — and that includes cars from Jaguar, Lexus and Mercedes that carried sticker prices well over $100,000.
The fact that Hyundai is playing at that level isn't just remarkable. It's almost miraculous.

A Social Security Number (SSN) is a unique, 9-digit taxpayer identification number used for taxpayer identification, income reporting, and record-keeping purposes. A Social Security Number is not work authorization. The Social Security Administration (SSA) issues numbers to all U.S. citizens and permanent residents and to eligible foreign nationals. Eligibility to apply for a social security number is dependent on one's eligibility for employment in the U.S.
Everyone who is employed in the U.S. must have a social security number. Once issued, the number is valid for a lifetime. If you have been issued a number previously, do not apply for another as this will cause confusion in your tax records. If you do not have a social security number, you will need to visit one of the local Social Security Administration offices to apply for one.
F-1 and J-1 students are eligible to apply for a Social Security number only if they are in status and authorized to work. The application for a Social Security number MUST be made before the on-campus job ends or the off-campus work authorization expires.
F-1 work authorization must be in one of the following forms:
J-1 students must have a work authorization letter from their J-1 program sponsor.
Students in certificate or non-degree programs who are ineligible to accept on-campus employment, or students who are otherwise not maintaining F-1 or J-1 status, are not permitted to apply for a Social Security number.
F-1 Students with On-Campus Employment
1. Complete full-time academic registration
2. Bring a photocopy of your I-94 record and your NYU job offer letter to the OGS. This is a drop-off service that does not require you to see an OGS advisor. Your department must use this job offer letter template copied onto department letterhead and your supervisor's signature must be in blue ink. Before submitting these two required documents, be sure that
You have attended an OGS check-in workshop for new and transfer students.
You are registered full time for the current semester
You have a current local address in SIS/Albert
3. OGS processing time is five business days from the date a complete application is submitted. Once you have obtained the OGS approval, you may go to a Social Security Administration office to submit an application for a Social Security number. Students may not apply earlier than 30 days before your work begin date or work authorization start date. You must present the following documents:
F-1 Students with Off-Campus Employment
F-1 students with off-campus work authorization should bring their passport, I-20, and Employment Authorization Document OR Curricular Practical Training I-20 to the Social Security Administration. You DO NOT need a letter from the OGS. Students with CPT may not apply earlier than 30 days before the work authorization start date. Students with an EAD may not apply until the EAD start date has been reached.
J-1 Students
1. Complete full-time academic registration
2. Obtain a work authorization letter from your exchange visitor program sponsor.
If you are sponsored by NYU, you must apply for your on-campus employment authorization letter in person at the OGS. Bring your passport, I-94 card, and most recent DS-2019 to the OGS during walk-in hours along with details of your employment offer. Details the OGS needs are the name and place of employment, your supervisor's name and contact information, the number of hours you will work per week, and the dates of your proposed employment. If you are not sponsored by NYU, contact your J-1 program sponsor (as indicated in Section 5 of your DS-2019) for directions.
3. Once you have obtained an employment authorization letter from the OGS, you may go to a Social Security Administration office to submit an application for a social security number. You must present the following documents:
Students receiving a fellowship or scholarship who are not expected to work beyond their own studies do not need social security numbers. Instead, they will be asked by the university to complete, among other papers, a W-7 form to obtain an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) necessary to file their tax returns.
If you have been assigned a Social Security number but lost your card, you will need to re-apply for a new Social Security card. You must be eligible for a Social Security card under the current Social Security Administration regulations, and you need to follow the procedure listed on this page.
F-2 spouses and family members are not eligible to accept employment in the U.S., and are therefore not permitted to apply for SSNs. However, F-2 spouses and family members may apply for Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) via Form W-7, available through the Internal Revenue Service.
J-2 spouses and family members who have been granted employment authorization by the USCIS may apply for Social Security numbers.
If you live or receive mail in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens or Manhattan and wish to apply for a new or replacement Social Security Number card, you must visit one of the following Social Security Card Centers:
Brooklyn Social Security Card Center, 154 Pierrepont Street, Sixth Fl, Brooklyn, NY 11201
The Bronx
Bronx Social Security Card Center, 820 Concourse Village West, Second Fl, Bronx, NY 10451
Queens Social Security Card Center, 155-10 Jamaica Avenue, Second Fl, Jamaica, NY 11432
Manhattan Social Security Card Center, 123 William Street, Third Fl, New York, NY 10038
Note: If you live on Staten Island, you may visit one of the two Staten Island Social Security offices.
If you live in New Jersey or elsewhere, please use the Social Security Office Locator to find the center where you should apply.
Be prepared for long lines and security checkpoints.

Hot List
100 Years After WWI: The Poll Diaries - Franz Ferdinand, the band, has shaken up some summer music festivals in recent times, but 100 years ago in the summer of 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand's assassination shook up the world. In Chris Kraus's 2010 drama film The Poll Diaries, young Oda (Paula Beer) rejoins her aristocratic German family in Estonia. Throw in an Estonian anarchist and a society on the brink of World War I and you'll find there isn't too much hope for love. The Poll Diaries is the first film in the Goethe-Institut's weekly WWI film series and is an apt film to spearhead the selection of poignant, beautifully melancholy wartime movies. 6:30pm, $5. Goethe-Institut San Francisco, 530 Bush, SF. (415) 263-8760, www.goethe.de
Murder City Devils -- Combining elements of garage rock and punk with dark organ lines and caterwauling vocals, Seattle rockers The Murder City Devils were a musical powder keg from 1996 to 2001, just waiting to be lit by a live audience. After a five-year break up, the band has sporadically reunited for concerts here and there, but hadn't put out a new record until this month, dropping The White Ghost Has Blood On Its Hands, its first album release in 13 years. Fans can look forward to hearing the new material, along with old favorites, when Spencer Moody and cohorts hit the stage in what always promises to be a gloriously unpredictable and incendiary performance. 8pm, $22. Great American Music Hall, 859 O'Farrell, SF. (415) 885-0750 www.slimspresents.com
Lee 'Scratch' Perry - The God of Dub may be pushing 80, but his live shows and constantly evolving studio production are not slowing down. Lee "Scratch" Perry, who helped to transform reggae into an aurally and technologically complex genre while virtually inventing "the remix," released a new album, Back at the Controls, earlier this year. The work was a true group effort, both because it was a collaboration with Rolling Lion Studios' producer Daniel Boyle as well as the fact that it benefited from a thriving Kickstarter campaign. To complement his new record, Perry embarked on an ongoing world tour, which hopped over to Europe for a three-month stint starting in March. Now back in the States, Perry looks to continue dazzling audiences with his idiosyncratic fashion, pulsating beats, and exhilarating reworkings of timeless classics from every kind of music. 79pm, $25. Independent, 628 Divisadero, SF. (415) 771-1421 www.theindependentsf.com
My Drunk Kitchen with Hannah Hart - How many YouTubers have baked brownies with Mary-Louise Parker (of Weeds fame) while drunk? Hannah Hart, the mastermind behind the "My Drunk Kitchen" YouTube channel, has come a long way since her first video, in which she set out to make grilled cheese — getting by with a little help from her friend, wine — and realized mid-video that she didn't have any cheese in the house. She appears this evening to promote her new cookbook, which is chock-full of tasty recipes (ones she made up while writing and hasn't tasted) and spontaneous fun. And hey, she has drunk Jamie Oliver's stamp of approval, so what more could you ask for? 7pm, free. Books Inc. 601 Van Ness, SF. (415) 776-1111, www.booksinc.net
Name Drop Swamp Records + Quiet Lightning - This new collaboration between independent SF record label Name Drop Swamp Records (Fox & Woman, Split Screens) and the long-running lit and spoken word series Quiet Lightning brings together live music, poetry, and performance for an evening that's sure to draw a crowd full of all kinds of artists — in addition to those being featured on stage. Featured performer Luz Elena Mendoza of Y La Bamba is someone you won't get to see in a small room for too much longer, thanks to her unique, rich vocals and skilled storytelling through song. The door is sliding scale and the aim is for this evening to be the first in a bimonthly series at the Emerald Tablet (sorry, "Em Tab,") so get in before it blows up. 5 - 9pm, $10-20; no one turned away for lack of funds. The Emerald Tablet, 80 Fresno, SF. (415) 500-2323, www.emtab.org
Built to Spill - Boise's Built To Spill has been churning out heartbreakingly lovely indie rock songs for over 20 years. Doug Martsch, formerly of Treepeople, formed the group in 1992. Since then, the band has gone through a whirlwind of lineup changes with Martsch as the only constant, but have managed to create seven equally beautiful, reverb-heavy studio albums. Martsch's music has been cited as a major inspiration by such indie rock royalty as Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse and Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie. Though it's been five years since they've released an album, Built To Spill's live show hasn't declined a bit. This three-night run at Slim's is a very special event, and certainly not to be missed. With Slam Dunk, The Warm Hair. 8pm, $28, Slim's 333, 11th St, SF. (415) 255-0333, www.slimspresents.com
Fucked Up Toronto's Fucked Up might be the most ambitious punk band on the planet. This six-piece hardcore band has been releasing more and more epic and boldly experimental records since their explosive entrance to the scene in 2001. The group has even been recognized by the Canadian government, winning the prestigious Polaris Prize in 2009 for its incredible, sprawling punk-rock opera The Chemistry of Common Life. Their most recent effort, Glass Boys, maintains their hardcore edge while finding more rock depth, borrowing simultaneously from Dinosaur Jr. and Negative Approach. The record asks questions about what it means to be an aging and successful punk band. Known and notorious for their tempestuous relationship and wildly unpredictable live shows, Fucked Up is one of the best hardcore bands and certainly one of the best live acts on the road. Tijuana Panthers, The She's, 8pm, $20. The Independent, 628 Divisadero, SF. (415) 771-1421 www.independentsf.com

WASHINGTON -- Jim Joyce, the umpire made famous after his missed call at first base cost then-Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga a perfect game in 2010, was back at the same spot in Game 3 of the National League Division Series in Washington on Wednesday afternoon, and he saw plenty of action.
Joyce made a couple of close calls at first, including calling out Nationals second baseman Danny Espinosa in the second inning and center fielder Bryce Harper in the seventh.
Joyce's call on Espinosa killed a potential rally, with Washington threatening in what was then a 4-0 game. Ian Desmond had singled to start the frame before Espinosa bunted sharply to third. David Freese made the play smoothly, nabbing Espinosa for the first out. Manager Davey Johnson left the first-base dugout to argue.
"'Just how come ... I'm 20 years older than you and I see him as safe,'" Johnson said of his comments to Joyce. "And he said he thought he got it right. I said, 'Check the replay.' He said, 'I don't have the luxury of doing that right now.' But it was just one play."
The next two batters were retired in order, ending the second.
With the Nationals trailing, 6-0, in the bottom of the seventh, Harper hit a sharp grounder to first that was snagged by diving first baseman Allen Craig, who got to his feet and tossed the ball to reliever Trevor Rosenthal for the first out of the inning.
Harper bowed his head in frustration after the call, and the Nationals were retired in order in the frame.

In 2009, Barack Obama wanted to include a moment of uplifting music in his inauguration. So he called Yo-Yo Ma and Itzhak Perlman, two of the most beloved figures in classical music. He said he wanted them to play in the ceremony. He said he liked Copland. And he left it at that.
Ma and Perlman could have raised a number of objections. They could have said that there were not any pieces for violin and cello that fit the bill; Copland certainly didn't write one. They could have said that there was no time for someone to compose something new. They could have said that it was impossible to play their instruments outdoors in icy weather in the month of January. But none of those seemed a proper response to this well-meant and signal honor. So, thinking on their feet, they turned to John Williams, the film composer, with whom they had both worked before ("Schindler's List," "Seven Years in Tibet," "Memoirs of a Geisha"), who could write on deadline, and who was an expert at producing music tailored to a specific scene or mood.
The result was exactly what was ordered: a piece of earnestly uplifting music, "Air and Simple Gifts," that incorporated Copland and featured Ma, Perlman and two other artists, Gabriela Montero and Anthony McGill. Unfortunately, since it would have been impossible to play it live under the weather conditions that day, the artists prerecorded the music and then performed to a playback, and the idea that the music was faked, lip-synced, inauthentic seized the popular imagination, briefly, as if everyone had been subject to some kind of hoax. And the discussion about whether or not the music was any good, and about whether or not it had been right to prerecord it — discussion in which I, at the time, actively took part — eclipsed what perhaps should have been the main point, which was that it was nice that the president wanted classical music included at all.

I'm totally new to mobile/phone development but I am a very experienced windows developer both client and server versions of OS.
I have some basic questions - I've tried searching for info on these but not much comes up:
- Can I create an app in VS 2012 and test it on my physical phone?
- Can I do ordinary socket level TCP comms on the phone?
- Can I debug an app that is running on a physical phone?
- How can I get my Windows desktop to see or interact with a phone?
- Are there any tech tools that allow me to see detailed info about my phone, like network activity, bluetooth status, memory use, running processes etc?
I'm just getting started and so seeking some in depth info that lets me get some perception of the phone at a physical level so I can better understand what I'm dealing with.
I have a new Lumia 920 by the way and plenty of development hardware and all the tools etc.
