A proposal aimed at providing oversight for California American Water's water supply project has been approved by the Monterey Peninsula Regional Water Authority.
By a unanimous vote, the authority board adopted the public governance committee concept late Wednesday, and directed attorney Russ McGlothlin to send letters to the state Public Utilities Commission and Cal Am regarding the proposal, said authority board chairman Chuck Della Sala.
Della Sala, who served on an ad hoc committee with Carmel Mayor Jason Burnett that came up with the plan, said the concept was intended to answer CPUC administrative law judge Gary Weatherford's invitation to area public agencies to come up with a proposal for direct participation in the water supply project's desalination plant.
The proposal still has to be approved by the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District and the county Board of Supervisors.
In a ruling last month, Weatherford set an Oct. 1 deadline for the proposals and directed Cal Am to consider any plan that is "feasible and sufficiently developed to allow implementation in a timely manner."
Cal Am has proposed a $400 million water supply project that includes a desal plant north of Marina combined with aquifer storage and recovery, and groundwater replenishment projects. The overall project is designed to provide a replacement source of water for the Peninsula, which is facing a stateÐordered cutback in pumping from the Carmel River that takes full effect at the end of 2016.
The authority's public governance proposal calls for a three-person committee designed to include members from the authority, the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District, and the county with varying degrees of influence over virtually every aspect of the Cal Am project. It would be charged with helping coordinate everything from the design, permitting and construction of the plant to its operations and maintenance. The committee would receive regular project updates from Cal Am and provide consultation and advice, including recommendations.
Under the proposal, the committee would serve variously as the ultimate "decider" on certain issues, have an equal say as Cal Am on some and serve in an advisory role on others.
The ad hoc subcommittee fashioned the proposal in private meetings that included officials from Cal Am and the water management district, whose board will consider the proposal on Monday. The proposal calls for the water management district to offer assistance in accessing low-cost public financing for the project and to consider owning and operating the desal plant if necessary.
County supervisors, who just agreed to join the authority on Tuesday and contribute to its budget months after being invited, have not set a date to consider the proposal.
Supervisor Dave Potter, who was appointed as the county's representative to the authority board, did not attend Wednesday's meeting because of a conflict.
Potter, who said he sat in on one of the ad hoc subcommittee discussions last week but wasn't aware of the proposal's details, said he expects the board to consider the proposal soon. He said he is hopeful the proposal can offer a vital role for the public in the project that has been missing.
Cal Am spokeswoman Catherine Bowie said the authority's proposal would require "further review" from company officials, who would work with authority representatives to "discuss concerns and a potential point of agreement." The key, she said, is ensuring that nothing delays the project or jeopardizes its financing.
The company is required to file a report to the CPUC on any public participation proposals by Oct. 26.
George Riley, a member of the authority's technical advisory committee, said he was concerned the proposal was more a method to accommodate Cal Am rather than offer real public oversight that represents the Peninsula's interests, including lowest cost project options.
Also Wednesday, the authority board considered a preliminary report from SPI, the consultant hired to conduct a comparison study of the three desal proposals, including Cal Am's along with the People's Desal Project and Deep Water Desal. The report found each of the projects has obstacles that can be overcome and recommended studying all three in more depth.

Re: Foot of snow in Ontario
Am I correct in assuming that is a pretty light fluffy snow, since you appear to be having no problems and have neither wheel weights or chains.

Re: Foot of snow in Ontario
The rear tires on the tractor came loaded with calcium chloride so that adds a fair bit of weight. The snow is the sandy granular type, lighter but not the real fluffy stuff. It snometimes will slip a little if I push uphill then I raise the blade an inch or two and that is usually relieves enough force to allow me to keep pushing.

Re: Foot of snow in Ontario
Find someone who makes/sells Alpaca socks. Your feet will never get cold. The only thing I know of that is warmer than Alpaca socks is Innu Mukluks and with them you don't wear socks even in the high Arctic I wish I still had my pair of muks ... but they wore out 30 years ago. Lasted 10 years though. Sealskin and Caribou ... really warm Like Innu muks Alpaca socks ain't cheap though.

Can't beat felt-lined boots. I remember when they were called "snowmobile boots" by my friends up in Maine.

Re: Foot of snow in Ontario
While 75 and sunny sounds nice, I'd hate to miss all that seat time and my 54A blade would feel neglected. Besides the best part of pushing all that snow around is pilling your "alpaca clad sock feet" out of your "snowmobile boots" and doing this.

A group of Cobb County residents who feel the county is moving too quickly on plans for a new Atlanta Braves stadium sounded off on Monday. The newly-formed organization called Citizens for Governmental Transparency held a news conference on the Cobb County Square in an effort to make their opinions known. Opponents sent a letter to Cobb County Commissioners asking for a 60-day delay in Tuesday's planned vote to approve the deal. Citizens for Government Transparency is a committee made up of individuals and organizations who say that they should be informed and engaged when significant tax dollars are being obligated. The diverse coalition includes Atlanta Tea Party Patriots, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the Sierra Club and Common Cause.But representatives from the Cobb Chamber of Commerce, the Cumberland Community Improvement District and other businesses braved the cold weather on Monday in newly-printed t-shirts to say there should be no delay in moving forward with plans for the $672 million stadium complex. Cobb County Commissioners got an earful from constituents for and against the proposal at three packed town hall meetings on Monday.
Despite the calls to delay the vote, Cobb County Commission Chairman Tim Lee said it will go on as scheduled on Tuesday.

Hart seeking second opinion before knee surgery
Brewers outfielder's MRI sent for further evaluation before undergoing procedure
Brewers first baseman Corey Hart, who last week developed swelling in his knee during offseason workouts, did not undergo surgery as expected Tuesday and will instead seek a second opinion.
The MRI of Hart's right knee has been sent to Vail, Colo., for examination by Dr. Richard Steadman, Brewers assistant general manager Gord Ash said Tuesday.
Hart originally was scheduled to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee for a debridement of his knee joint and to repair a meniscal tear by Dr. William Raasch on Tuesday in Milwaukee -- with a recovery time expected to be three to four months -- but he opted to seek a second opinion, which is a player's right, Ash said.
"Dr. Steadman is going to, at some point, read that MRI and determine if we should go with the original course of action, or if he's going to need to see Corey for a further evaluation," Ash said.
Ash said the Brewers and Hart are hopeful for a resolution within the next day or two.
Hart, 30, hit .270 with 30 homers and 83 RBIs in 149 games last season.

The fiercest rivalry in all of college football takes place each year in late November as the University of Alabama Crimson Tide and the Auburn University Tigers meet in a series known as 'The Iron Bowl'. The series earned its name following years of playing in Birmingham, known for producing iron.
The series started in 1893 when the two teams met in Birmingham. The Auburn Tigers clinched the first win of the series, which was played not in November, but in February! The teams met again that same year, this time in Montgomery. The November game saw Auburn take its second win.
Though the first game was played 110 years ago, the teams have not met 110 times. Between 1896-1900 and again between 1907-1948, the in-state rivals avoided playing each other.
To date, the teams have played each other 77 times in four different locations: Birmingham (53x), Tuscaloosa (9x), Montgomery (4x) and Auburn (11x).
Alabama had the advantage when playing in Birmingham (34-19). The teams were tied when playing in Montgomery (2-2). The Iron Bowl is no longer played in these cities, having seen its last matchup in Montgomery back in 1903 and in Birmingham in 1998.
The teams now alternate between Tuscaloosa's Bryant-Denny Stadium on even years and Auburn's Jordan-Hare Stadium on odd years, locations where Auburn retains the statistical advantage (7-4 in Auburn and 7-2 in Tuscaloosa).
Alabama holds the all-time series lead with 42 wins to Auburn's 34. The Crimson Tide has maintained the series lead since the 1965 season when it pulled to 15 wins over Auburn's 14.
The longest winning streak for Alabama is nine (1973-1981) under Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant.
The longest winning streak for Auburn is six (2002-2007) under Coach Tommy Tuberville.
The Iron Bowl has featured a battle between in-state national champions for the last 4 seasons, a record. Alabama went on to when the BCS National Championship in 2009, followed by Auburn in 2010. The Crimson Tide won the national championship again, this time in back-to-back season in 2011 and 2012. Currently ranked No. 1 in the final year of the BCS, the undefeated Crimson Tide has a chance to enter the national championship for a third straight year in 2013.
Here's how the teams have done during each year's meeting. Note the absence of wins/losses during the years between 1895-1900 and 1907- 1948. The teams did not play during those years.
No games were played between the teams from 1896 to 1899
No games were played between the teams from 1908 to 1947

When you're planning a summer vacation, it's important to make out a budget. Too many consumers fail to plan their spending and, when they return, are faced with more debt.
But having the right credit card can help. It can help you not only save money, but actually get some money back.
Odysseas Papadimitriou, CEO of CardHub, breaks down summer travel cards into three categories; those that have good initial reward bonuses, those that have good ongoing rewards programs and those that have the best 0% financing offers. The right card can add up to actual money.
"Consumers, by signing up for the right offer, can get $400 statement credit or $500 toward travel expenses by spending what they would normally spend on their credit card during the first three months," Papadimitriou said.
Real money
Take the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card, for example. By spending at least $3,000 during the first three months your account is open will give you a 40,000-point rewards bonus, which can be redeemed for $500 in travel accommodations booked through Chase's Ultimate Rewards program or a $400 statement credit.
That's right. Instead of stockpiling those airline miles that you never seem to be able to use, you can trade them in for cash.
"It doesn't get much better than that," Papadimitriou said.
The Chase Sapphire card does not charge an annual fee the first year but there's a $95 fee each year after that.
Another solid choice is the Barclaycard Arrival World MasterCard. Spend just $1,000 during the first 90 days to claim the card's 40,000-mile rewards bonus, which is redeemable for a $400 statement credit you can use to pay any travel-related charge. It also waives its $89 annual fee the first year.
Hilton HHonors Surpass Credit Card and the Club Carlson Premier Rewards Card also provide general upfront bonuses. With the latter you get 50,000 bonus points with your first purchase and 35,000 additional points for spending at least $2,500 within 90 days. Those 85,000 points can get you up to 18 free hotel nights, depending on the category of hotel you select and the number of consecutive nights you book.

Raid Gaulisoses 2003 in Kyrgystan. A 6 days and 6 hours nonstop race over the mountains in Kyrgystan. I had problems with my stomach and could not eat for some days and in the end I drank to little water too.... I was tired for over 2 months after that adventure, but I survived and we ended in second place.
My family, and fix and renovate our house. And sometimes I also read a book or two!
Playing with our son Simon, training and of course racing! And I love to just be out in the fresh air!

Post subject: Sell me your distro...
Ok. Not actually sell it. Not in the financial sense.
What I mean is tell us what's so great about your distro of choice compared with others I could install.
btw, this thread isn't designed to start a flame war. I just want to know why people choose the distro they do. What they find best about the one they use most.

I'm obviously new, hope you don't mind me chipping in.
It's interesting because once you've got a distro installed and working how you like it the only really major point of difference, in most cases, is the package manager. WMs are the same, apps are the same, structure is close enough as to not matter.
And yet they all
so different. They have different personalities and it's very hard to convey that verbally.
I have reservations about it being a bit too easy for what I currently want, but I've discussed those at
Installation was easy and
fast, I suspect it just copies an image to disk because it was actually worryingly fast. One gripe was that the option to install (when in a live environment) was tucked away in the gnome menu rather than being prominent somewhere. I actually had to google to check I hadn't downloaded
a live disc.
A nice touch during the install is that it asks which OS to make the default in Grub. I don't think Ubuntu does this (the option may be there if you dig for it, I'm not sure) and I suspect it's really ofputting to a lot of new users. If they're coming from windows then of course they're going to want to boot windows most of the time, and they're going to have to google how to do that (and it's not a trivial thing to do) after their first boot. I suspect that's hugely offputting to a lot of new users, it's at best thoughtless and at worst arrogant. That's indicative of a sort of consideration which permeates Fedora.
In use, it's just very very easy and quite light feeling. It doesn't feel loaded down with unnecessary shit but everything an average user needs is either there or within easy reach.
Installing Nvidia drivers wasn't quite as simple as in Ubuntu/Mint, but it was just a couple of shell commands so that's easy enough. Codecs and stuff I installed through an app called
, which I recommend.
Gnome Shell is lovely and well implemented. I've had no problems with it after changing the word 'Activities' to 'hello' on the launcher thing. 'Activities' is far too strident, I don't want my computer shouting at me, I want it welcoming me politely. Like a butler.
Yum is lovely too. At least as lovely as apt (if slower), Installing things like KDE is easy via the yum groupinstall thing, though not as tidy as dummy deb packages seem to be - groupremoving KDE left holes in Gnome where there were shared packages, which seems like a dumbass choice. Adding extra repos is easier than dealing with PPAs. I still don't understand PPAs. Overall I find yum friendlier than apt. And typing 'yum' is always funny.
Fedora feels very nicely put together. There's an aesthetic consistency and things just fit together nicely. I can't really comment on hardware support as everything 'just works' in all recent distros I've tried (aside from my onboard emulated IDE which doesn't work on any of them).
To my mind, Fedora is a far better candidate for a distro to recommend to new users than the usual suspects (Ubuntu, Mint (can't comment on SUSE or Mand-whateverit'scallednow)). I always had to do far more fiddling and googling to get things set up on Ubuntus than I have on Fedora. So yes, it's supplanted Mint for me as what I recommend to friends who want to try out this Linux thing they've heard so much about.
Ok, that's more of a badly-written review than it is a sales pitch. Sorry about that.
The sales Pitch:
Fedora: It's like Ubuntu only a little bit harder to install drivers and codecs but with less **** installed and buttons in the right places. And blue instead of orange.

Kubuntu for me.
I was very much a Gnome fan, until Ubuntu moved to Unity. I tried it a few times, along with the alternative of Gnome 3 and didn't like either.
KDE was now stable enough to be workable again, so I tried Kubuntu and stuck with it. Sure I miss Gnome 2, but until a stable fork of it appears, it does me nicely. Plus I quite like the plasmids.

As a current, and very happy ubuntu 10.04 user, I think Xubuntu will be my choice when 10.04 loses support.
Unity is totally unusable as far as I'm concerned with the way I use my computer. I have used it and tried it in both the 3d and 2d versions, but it is far too unwieldy in my opinion.
I started with kde when I first used linux, then moved to gnome when I first saw and liked Ubuntu, though I added the kubuntu-desktop until about 2 or 3 years ago, to have the best of both worlds. Now I'm in gnome2 only, except for my netbook which runs Lubuntu (LXDE) extremely well. Xubuntu with XFCE-4.8 seems the nearest I will be able to get when gnome2 finally disappears.
Xubuntu 12.04 user, and loving it!

My current favourites:
Salix (Slackware compatible, but with a few user friendly bits, such as dep tracking in the package manager, easy setup tools). Clean, fast, available with a numuber of different desktops, though my choice is Xfce.
SalineOS (Debian stable-based). Quick install, loads of software so long as you don't need the most recent versions of things. Xfce desktop again.
Both have good community support, both are stable and low maintenance. I prefer Salix overall, but find the breadth of software available in SalineOS tempting.
I've used most of the current desktop environments around, but always end up going back to Xfce - it provides a happy medium between Gnome (do it our way or don't do it at all) and KDE (adjust everything you want, just don't expect any of it to make any sense).
Not that I'm biased, or anything.....

Arch - Easy to setup - with the guide if you're new to it. No bloat, your own choice of packages and nothing else. Latest and greatest software, yet still solid as a rock. Absolutely the best (in my experience/opinion) documentation. What's not to like?
P.S With gnome-shell.

Still, Tejada mustered the strength to hit one more home run and the home crowd, all of whom were rooting for hometown hero Lance Berkman, acknowledged Tejada's prowess and endurance.
A last-minute addition to Monday's Century 21 Home Run Derby, Tejada outshined 500 Home Run Club members Barry Bonds, Rafael Palmeiro and Sammy Sosa with a Derby-record 15 home runs in the second round and carried the Home Run Derby trophy back to Baltimore.
Tejada edged Berkman, 5-4, in the final round, capping an impressive display for the Orioles' shortstop.
Derby officials invited Tejada to join the group on Sunday night, replacing former teammate Jason Giambi, who did not participate because of a lingering sickness.
"I never thought that I was going to be in the Home Run Derby in my life," he said. "I know I can hit home runs like that but I never think that I am a home run hitter. I just thought I am going to have an opportunity to be in the Home Run Derby and I am going to enjoy it."
With Kansas City manager Tony Pena as his pitcher, Tejada advanced to the second round with seven home runs but it definitely wasn't easy. He showed early jitters with four quick outs and it appeared as if Tejada would be an early elimination victim. After hitting two line drives into the left-field corner for homers, he appeared to gain confidence.
With just three outs left, he hit two more homers to reach four. After another out, Tejada ran off three straight homers, including one that sailed well over the left-field facade and out of the park.
Minute Maid Park lived up to its reputation as a haven for right-handed hitters.
"You know when you have a chance to hit in a ballpark like that, you have to take advantage," he said. "That's the great part, I'm going to enjoy it. It's made for right-handed hitters."
During his turns, Boston's David Ortiz, Tejada's buddy from the Dominican Republic, was toweling off his friend and providing him encouragement.
Ortiz, who was eliminated after the first round, was not surprised at Tejada's power display.
"He's not little," Ortiz said. "He looks little, this guy, you touch him everywhere, he's rock solid. He told me after the first round, 'They let me get hot. I'm going to hit 10 now.' And he hit 15. He got a little tired. This guy, you know what we call him back home, we call him 'The Bus,' because whenever anyone's on the (bases), he picks them up."
No disrespect to Jerome Bettis, but for this night Tejada was "The Bus." He even delivered for Paula Bowen from Renton, Wash., who won $250,000 toward a new home courtesy of Century 21. She immediately invited Tejada and his family over for dinner.
"I think it's more important she get a house and it's unbelievable," he said. "I am really happy to see people win a house because of the job that I do."
Berkman wowed the partisan crowd with 10 home runs in the second round, including several that landed on the street behind the park. But it was obvious in the final round he was gassed. Going first, Berkman could muster just four home runs, meaning Tejada needed just five to win.
He laced three quickly, and then fouled off a few before hitting the tying homer. Sensing victory, Tejada pumped his chest a few times and hit three more foul balls before finally cinching the Derby with "just" a 378-footer into the left-field bleachers.
"I'm enjoying the moment," Tejada said. "When I take the first swing I say, 'Miggy, you're not going to win. There's so many home run hitters that you're not going to win.' I just say, try to enjoy the most you can, make your family happy to be here."
Palmeiro, who will be 40 in September, also represented himself well. He belted a first-round best nine homers but appeared to fatigue and hit five in the second round.
"In the first round I felt good, refreshed," he said. "In the second round, I got tired. My shoulders got a little heavy. I just lost my focus, it got a little hot out there. I feel good with how I did. You want to put on a good show and I think everybody did. Tejada's the man. I think people will remember this for a while."

DUNCAN, Okla. — Prosecutors said they were bored teenagers who had been in trouble before but not for violent crime. One of them even calmly reported in to his juvenile probation office a half-hour after police said they randomly shot and killed a jogger "for the fun of it."
No one ever suspected they would disrupt this small southern Oklahoma town of 24,000 known as the "buckle on the oil belt" and cause an unimagined international story of senseless death.
But they did. And now James Edwards Jr., 15, Chancey Allen Luna, 16, and Michael Dewayne Jones, 17, sit in the Stephens County Jail, awaiting their fate for what prosecutors said was the heartless drive-by slaying of Christopher Lane, 22, a college baseball player from Melbourne, Australia, out for his daily run.
Edwards and Luna were charged in court Tuesday with first-degree murder and face possible life sentences without parole. District Attorney Jason Hicks said Luna fired the fatal bullet from a .22-caliber pistol into the back of the unsuspecting Lane, who stumbled into a ditch and collapsed along the tree-lined road. Two motorists who drove by later phoned in 911 calls.
Jones, who police said drove the ambush car -- with Luna in the back seat and Edwards in the front passenger seat -- was only charged with being an accessory to murder after the fact and use of a vehicle in the discharge of a weapon. Prosecutors said he was the only one to cooperate with investigators. But they said he could still face many years in prison.
All three teens are considered juveniles under Oklahoma law and thus cannot be put to death. Their cases, however, will be tried in adult court. They pleaded not guilty at their initial court appearance.
Local authorities could not explain the thrill killing nature of the Lane murder. Research by criminologists into similar acts of violence has attributed motivation to perpetrators' need to feel empowered, to make a statement through a dramatic criminal act.

Introverts, rejoice! The Internet thinks your glorious idiosyncrasies and private vexations are adorable and that you are worthy of complex care and feeding. Yes, it's great to be an introvert in 2013! So how do you know if you are one?
Huffington Post's popular diagnostic, "23 Signs You're Secretly an Introvert," says you may claim membership in this elite club if "idle chatter" fails to thrill you, if networking "feels disingenuous" (you "crave authenticity in [your] interactions"), if you "have a penchant for philosophical conversations and a love of thought-provoking books and movies," if you're "geared toward intense study and developing expertise," if you "have a keen eye for detail," and if your habit of "thinking before [you] speak" gives you a "wise" reputation. There's more: You might also be an introvert if you "look at the big picture" and if you prefer the window or aisle seat on buses.
I always thought I was an introvert because occasional bouts of solitude recharge me and lots of excited conversation with new people eventually turns me limp. But given the above lofty criteria, maybe I'm actually an extrovert? Luckily, Gawker's Caity Weaver has come out with a list of "15 Unmistakable, Outrageously Secret Signs You Are an Extrovert." They include:
— You interact with other humans in orthodox ways and sometimes it's fun and sometimes it's not and mostly it's whatever.
— When you want to stay in, you just do it without making a big, aggrieved production about how it is absolutely essential for you to stay in sometimes — you need to do it, you just have to recharge — because you have extreme intermittent photosensitivity . . . OF THE SOUL.

What's here
This tutorial walks you through the process of setting up APIs with resources, and adding and configuring policies. You'll then add an API product for your API so you can distribute it to your developers.
If you're brand new to the product, you may want to review What is Apigee Edge? If you're new to RESTful APIs you may want to review this blog post for some background.
Step 1: Add an API and define API resources
When you add an API to Apigee Edge, you configure an API proxy for one or more existing services. Under the hood, Apigee Edge generates a new API, with its own unique network address and a processing pipeline that handles request and response messages. The API is exposed over the Internet and can be invoked over HTTP by client apps.
The API created can be as simple or as detailed as you like. An API can be a simple 'passthrough', exposing a single API method and funneling any type of request to a particular backend service. It can also be extremely granular, specifying responses based on the HTTP verb of the request, the URI requested, the content of the request or response, and so on.
Add the Yahoo Weather API
In this tutorial, you will create a proxy for the Yahoo Weather API. The Yahoo Weather API returns XML-formatted weather reports based on an identifier called a WOEID (where on Earth ID). The WOEID for Palo Alto, CA is 12797282. You can call this API directly. In a Web browser, enter:
The result is an XML-formatted weather report.
Now you will go through the steps required to send the same request, and receive the same response, via an API proxy on Apigee Edge.
You must first add the Yahoo Weather API:
- Login to https://enterprise.apigee.com. (You can obtain a free account at https://accounts.apigee.com/accounts/sign_up.)
- If you land on the Dashboard page, select the Open Platform button in the API Platform box.
- In the API Platform UI, select the APIs tab.
You will see two existing API Proxies: oauth and weatherapi. Ignore those for now. They are for use in the tutorial Secure calls to your API through OAuth 2.0: Client Credentials.
- Click the add (+) API Proxy button.
- In the "Choose Your Starting Point" section of the New API Proxy page, select Existing Backend Service and enter http://weather.yahooapis.com as the Backend Service URL.
The Backend Service URL defines the target URL that Apigee Edge invokes on behalf of apps. You can add any URL that is accessible over the open Internet.
- In the "Identify Your API Proxy" section, enter weather for the Display Name and Yahoo weather proxy as the description.
- The Project Base Path is automatically set to /weather.
The Project Base Path is embedded in the proxy URL that apps call to invoke your API. Apigee Edge uses the proxy URL to match and route incoming request messages to the proper API proxy.
The base of the API URL is automatically generated based on your organization and environment. Your organization is typically synonymous with the API project name you provided when you signed up for an Apigee account. Although you can join more than one organization, most users will have an account in only one organization.
An environment provides a runtime execution context for APIs. By default, Apigee organizations are provisioned with two environments: 'test' and 'prod'.
For example, if your account is in the organization called
apifactory, and your API is configured in the environment
test, then the URL that you share with developers would be:
- Add a version number
/v1to the Project Base Path. This step is optional; however, it's considered a best practice to version your API. For more information on this important topic, see "Versioning Best Practices". The path now looks like this:
- Leave the "Add Features" section as is.
Click Build.
- In response, you should see an acknowledgement that your new API proxy was successfully created and deployed. Apigee Edge generates and deploys a set of configuration files that govern the behavior of the processing pipeline for this API proxy as Revision 1. Your new API is automatically deployed into your test environment and listed in the API summary page.
- Click Close in the acknowledgement to display the details page for the API proxy.
Define API resources
Now you're ready to define your first resource. Defining API resources is optional. However, by defining API resources, you gain more granular visibility and control over the API.
An API resource is a URI. By defining specific resources, you gain the ability to apply policies to specific URIs, as well as operational visibility into the performance or consumption of those URIs. You can even further refine resource definitions by specifying the HTTP verb used against the URI.
In this example, you define a resource that represents a weather forecast, along with the verb GET.
- In the main menu of the management UI, click APIs to display the API Proxies page. If the API Platform page is not open, click here.
- Click weather in the API Proxies table.
- In the Resources section of the weather details page, click the + Resource button.
- Enter forecast for the Name.
- Click the Proxy Endpoint menu and choose default.
- Click the Verb menu and choose GET.
- Enter
/forecastrssas the resource Path. By defining this URI, you can monitor and manage the resource separately from other resources.
- Click the check icon in the Actions column.
The resource is added to the API proxy.
Click Save.
Call the Yahoo Weather API by using your new Apigee API proxy
Now that you have a proxy for the Yahoo Weather API, you can invoke it indirectly through Apigee Edge.
In your Web browser, enter the following, substituting your Apigee organization name for {org_name}.
For example:
Look for the following content in the response:
<title>Yahoo! Weather - Palo Alto, CA</title> <link>http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/weather/Palo_Alto__CA/*http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/USCA1093_f.html</link> <description>Yahoo! Weather for Palo Alto, CA</description> <language>en-us</language>
You have added an API to Apigee Edge. You now have the ability modify the characteristics and behavior of the API. In the next step you'll add policies to configure your new API.
Learn more
Understanding APIs and API proxies
Step 2: Add policies to your API
To design and customize the behavior of your APIs, you apply a set of policies. Each policy performs one of several API management tasks. For example, you can add policies for response caching, rate limiting, XML-to-JSON transformation, and so on.
You can add policies using the API Proxy Editor. The API Proxy Editor lets you see the structure of your API proxy and configure its flow. The editor presents a visual representation of your proxy's message flows as well as an editable display of the XML that defines the proxy.
When you add a policy, you specify the Flow that defines when the policy is executed. Each request and response path in a ProxyEndpoint and TargetEndpoint defines the following Flow types:
- PreFlow: Always executes before any other Flows. The processing steps defined in the PreFlow are applied to every message that passes through an Endpoint.
- Conditional Flows: Execute only when a conditional statement defined for the Flow evaluates to true. An Endpoint may define any number of conditional Flows, but only the first conditional Flow whose condition evaluates to true will execute.
- PostFlow: Always executes after all other Flows. As with PreFlow, the processing defined for PostFlow is applied to every message.
Set a rate limit for your API
To help you learn how to configure APIs, you're going to add the Spike Arrest policy to protect your backend from high traffic. The Spike Arrest policy prevents traffic spikes (or bursts) that can be caused by an increase in usage, buggy clients, or malicious attacks. When the number of requests exceeds the rate limit, the API returns an HTTP 500 error for a request.
- In the main menu of the management UI, click APIs to display the API Proxies page. If the API Platform page is not open, click here.
- Click weather in the API Proxies table.
- On the weather detail page, click the Develop button to open the API Proxy Editor.
- In the API Proxy Editor, click New Policy. This displays a categorized list of all the policies you can create.
- Select Spike Arrest in the Traffic Management category.
The New Policy dialog appears showing:
- The Policy name assigned to the new policy.
- An Attach Policy checkbox. Checking this box attaches the policy to the Flow.
- A Flow drop-down menu.
- Segment request and response radio buttons.
- Click Add to accept the defaults.
The new policy is attached to the PreFlow flow of the request message. This means that Apigee Edge will include the Spike Arrest policy as part of its processing of messages sent from a client app to your API. Because you accepted the default selections for the Flow and Segment options, the Spike Arrest policy is applied to request messages at the ProxyEndpoint.
Learn about flows and endpoints in Understanding APIs and API proxies. What's important to understand at this point is that the Spike Arrest policy will be processed first by your API proxy.
- Ensure that the PreFlow flow is selected in the left side of the API Proxy Editor.
- Select the Spike Arrest policy and examine what's been added:
- The policy is added to the list of policies in the Navigator view in the upper left of the API Proxy Editor.
- The policy is added to the Designer view in the top center of the API Proxy Editor, which is a visual representation of your proxy's message flows. Note that the icon appears only when you select PreFlow under Proxy Endpoints in the left navigation area.
- The XML for the policy is displayed in the Code view in the bottom center of the API Proxy Editor.
- The XML element and attribute values for the policy are displayed in the Property Inspector at the right in the API Proxy Editor.
- In the XML for the policy, change the value of the
<Rate>element to 75ps. You can specify the rate as an integer value per minute (pm) or per second (ps).
This limits traffic to a maximum of 75 messages per second. Notice that the Rate value in the Property Inspector also changes to 75ps. You can also change the Rate value in the Property Inspector and it will be reflected in the XML view.
- Click Save to save the current revision with your changes.

Understanding APIs and API proxies
Step 3: Execute and Trace API calls
The Trace feature lets you review data on how a message changes as policies are executed. You can see how each policy is performing and how long it takes to execute. By examining the data, you can see exactly where things are breaking down. Trace shows you data from a number of calls taken from live data. However, since the weather API is not live you'll send calls manually so you can see how policies are being executed.
- In the management UI, click the APIs tab. If the API Platform page is not open, click here.
- Click weather in the API Proxies table.
- On the weather detail page, click the Trace button to access the Trace page.
- On the Trace page, choose the test environment. This will let you set up a trace session on the test environment.
- Click Start Trace Session.
This runs a trace session for 10 minutes. While the trace session is running, messages are captured from live traffic. However, since your API has not be exposed to developers yet, you won't have any traffic.
Request your API.
You can request your API directly from a Web browser by entering the following URL:
- {org-name} is the name of your organization
- {env} is the environment, which is either test or prod. For this tutorial, you deployed the API Proxy to the test environment.
For example:
Or, request the URL from the Trace page by entering the URL and clicking Send in the Send Requests section.
You can click Send multiple times to generate as much traffic as you wish.
You can also use the Apigee Console to send a message directly to your API. The API Console lets you examine the request and response objects, set request headers, and set body parameters. To send the request from the console:
- Click Send with the Apigee Console, just below the Send button in the Send Requests area of the Trace page.
The console appears in another browser window.
- Enter the URL of your API.
- Click Send.
This sends a call to your API. You can click send multiple times to generate as much traffic as you wish.
- Switch back to the trace session.
The processing time for each message appears in the Transactions section of the Trace page.
- Click the first message in the Transactions section.
The response and request flows of your API call are shown graphically in the Transaction section (below the Send Requests section). Below the graphic you can see the results of the first step in the request flow.
- Click the Next button on the far-right of the window to see how the Spike Arrest policy executed.
- Click Next again to see the response from the backend service.
At each step you can expand the results to get more detail. In this case, expand the Content section so you can see the forecast data that was sent back from the Yahoo weather service.
- In the main menu of the management UI, click APIs to display the API Proxies page.
- Click weather in the API Proxies table.
- On the weather detail page, click the Develop button to open the API Proxy Editor.
- In the Spike Arrest policy, change the value of the
<Rate>element to 1ps, and click the Save button to save the current revision with your changes.
- Start a new trace session, and make several fast requests to your API, so you make more than one request in a second.
You will see an HTTP 500 error in the Transactions section of the Trace page when you exceed one request per second. If you can't send requests quickly enough to get a 500 response, change the rate to 5pm (5 requests per minute, which Edge enforces at 10 milisecond intervals) and send more requests.

Troubleshoot API traffic using Trace
Step 4: Convert XML to JSON
The response from your weather API contains XML data. This can be a problem for developers whose apps want to access the backend service through your API, but only accept JSON responses from their RESTful API calls. You can however add the XML to JSON policy to your API to convert response data from XML to JSON.
With this policy, the payload of an XML message is parsed and converted into JSON, and the content-type is changed to application/json. The policy only works when the source content-type is application/xml. See Convert XML to JSON for details.
To add an XML to JSON policy:
- In the management UI, click the APIs tab. If the API Platform page is not open, click here.
- Click weather in the API Proxies table.
- On the weather detail page, click the Develop button to open the API Proxy Editor.
- In the API Proxy Editor, click New policy, and select XML to JSON in the Mediation category.
- In the New Policy dialog select the following:
- Keep the default values for Policy Name and Attach Policy.
- In the Flow drop-down menu select Flow PostFlow, Proxy Endpoint default.
- The Response segment radio button.
- Click Add.
The new policy is attached to the PostFlow flow of the response message. Because you selected Flow PostFlow, Proxy Endpoint default, and chose the Response segment, the XML to JSON policy is applied to response messages at the ProxyEndpoint.
If the XML to JSON policy does not appear in the Designer area of the screen, select PostFlow under Proxy Endpoints in the left navigation area. To see the Spike Arrest policy, select PreFlow under Proxy Endpoints.
- Click Save.
- Request the URL of the API in a browser, from the Trace page, or from the Apigee Console to see that the response is now formatted as JSON:
Learn more
Step 5: Monitor your API's performance
Apigee Edge collects information as data passes through it. The data includes API call information (URL, IP, and user ID) latency, errors, and so on. This data is gathered into trend charts and tables throughout the management UI. You can use this data to both monitor the overall health of your API program and the health of individual APIs. See Use the built-in charts for more information.
Now that you've deployed your API and made requests, you can use the data charts to see metrics.
- First, look at the performance of all your APIs. In the management UI, click APIs. If the API Platform page is not open, click here.
- If not already selected, select test in the Environment drop-down list at the top of the page.
- Scroll down to the Performance section to the chart displaying metrics for all of your APIs. There may be a few minutes' lag time between when you send requests and when the metrics are available in the charts.
If you were to make requests over several hours, your chart might look something like this:
You can show or hide metrics for APIs and policies by clicking their names in the right pane of the chart. You can select different time periods, different types of metrics, and you can move your mouse pointer over the chart to see details about specific data points.
You probably won't have much data yet. But select a Time Period of one hour to see information about the weather API you just created.
- Now look at metrics for only your weather API. Click weather in the API Proxies list, click Overview, then scroll down to the Performance section, where you can view metrics for only the weather API and its resources. Again, over several hours of sending requests, your chart might look something like this:
- For a comprehensive, multi-dimensional view of your entire API program, click Dashboard in the management UI menu. The dashboard provides views of traffic, partner and developer engagement, and top performing APIs, products, apps, and developers. You can view different date ranges and drill down into API traffic details.
Analytics charts can also be exported to various file formats.

Next steps: Local development
Although you can use the management UI to perform most of the functions you need to manage your API program, you can also choose to use your own XML editor offline to create and manage APIs in conjunction with the Apigee Edge public API.

By Seth Stevenson
The latest worst. song. ever. has entered the zeitgeist. In "It's Thanksgiving," 12-year-old Nicole Westbrook warbles into a glistening turkey leg, and — attempting a vague facsimile of rap — insists that we "can't be hateful, gotta be grateful; gotta be grateful, can't be hateful." The real crime here is not the exploitation of an underage, undertalented tween. (Westbrook is a protégé of Patrice Wilson, the diabolical producer who previously inflicted Rebecca Black on an ill-prepared America.) It's that, with so few Thanksgiving-themed songs out there to choose from, this abomination automatically enters the canon.
The ongoing dearth of good Thanksgiving-themed pop bewilders me. We've been gifted with enough catchy jingle bell rock to overflow our stockings many seasons over. Yet somehow Thanksgiving-lovers always get the short end of the wishbone. Why hasn't this rich cultural tradition inspired any moments of musical genius? Where, I ask, is the Turkey Day equivalent of "2000 Miles"? Or even "Christmas in Hollis"?
Thanksgiving is not a religious holiday, which means a Thanksgiving song can appeal to a broader, nondenominational audience. (Though I grant the international charts might be tougher to conquer.) And, like Christmas, Thanksgiving boasts a bounty of established thematic elements — any lyricist worth her gravy should have no trouble throwing together a few on-topic verses. Note, for example, that "pumpkin pie" rhymes with "wonder why." That's evocative! You're halfway there!
Westbrook and Wilson are not the first poptrepreneurs to spot this unfilled market niche. Most famously, Adam Sandler made a naked bid to rule the late-November airwaves with "The Thanksgiving Song." Given couplets like "Love to eat the turkey at the table; I once saw a movie with Betty Grable," I deem this skimpy stuffing. Mary Chapin Carpenter's "Thanksgiving Song" is even worse: a treacly tryptophan snore.
The leftovers struggle to even qualify as Thanksgiving numbers. There are songs that hint at the theme but don't directly address it (the Beastie Boys' "Gratitude"); songs that don't even have lyrics (Thelonious Monk's "Stuffy Turkey"); and songs that are barely songs at all (Johnny Cash speak-singing an epic heartland soliloquy).
In the end the blame must fall upon our songwriters. You can't tell me I haven't tried. I was in a terrible band in college and, one fall semester, having identified this gaping void, I tried my hand at composing a Thanksgiving song of my own. As I recall, "Plymouth Rock" was played but once — on the stage of a subterranean campus bar. It was not well received.
Until the Thanksgiving hit of our dreams comes along, our best option just might be The National's new cover of a weird, jumbled ditty from the animated show Bob's Burgers. It's a comic dirge — not a sincere, joyous ode to the greatest holiday ever invented. But it'll do for now. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I hope you'll join me when I sing, "Kill, kill, kill. Kill the turkey."

Removing front wheel
Winter project is beginning. Got the oil drained, new filter with gasket. Going to try to repack front wheel bearings next. Do I need to remove the wheel weights before I try to remove the whole wheel itself? Thanks.
Re: Removing front wheel
Not if you are strong.
Re: Removing front wheel
The front wheel weight weighs about 25 lbs, so it's not a big deal if it's left on. The rear wheel weight on the other hand weighs 150 lbs.

Re: Removing front wheel
Jason, as Bob said, it's no big deal. Go ahead and pull the bolts off and the wheel and weight will come right off. If it has been on for a while you may have to knock it loose with a hammer.
You won't hurt anything at all. It saves you a little time by taking the weight off with the wheel.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

Re: Removing front wheel
Thanks folks, both front wheels are off (after some wd-40 and heating each bolt with an acetylene torch), hub cap unscrewed, cotter pin, castle nut, outer bearing, and hub off on each side. Leaving the inner bearing on. On the left wheel, one wheel bolt was complete missing. Is this a specific bolt or can I replace at a decent auto store? Repacking outer bearing this morning. What is the best way to clean parts these days? I don't have a parts cleaner, I was thinking simple wash tub and a diluted formula of Simple Green. I don't have Kerosene. Thanks again for all the feedback.
Re: Removing front wheel
I just wiped out the 50 year grease and then used kerosene, but brake cleaner, simple green any detergent should do fine. Pack the bearings by hand and rotate them to squeeze the grease into the roller gaps before putting them back on.
While you are there, you might check the steering play at the worm wheel shaft. Both of mine had about 1/4 turn of slop that showed up as vertical movement of the worm wheel shaft. It's about a 10 minute job to unclamp the arm, tighten the worm nut, then reclamp the arm. Took about 75% of my steering play out. Don't get it too tight, as your steering will take Popeye to turn if you do.
Re: Removing front wheel
It's a 3/8-24 fine threaded bolt. You ought to be able to find one at an auto parts or a well-stocked hardware store.
I like using Castrol's Super Clean; comes in a purple bottle. Another "purple" product is called Purple Power. I've found it not as powerful as Super Clean, but it's biodegradable and safe for the environment. Try your Simple Green stuff first and see if it does it for you.

Re: Removing front wheel
Depends on the size of the part, parts location, type of crud, and what you can get away with.
I use spray cans of brake cleaner on small individual parts when I only have one or two to clean.
Quart of gasoline in a plastic tub, old paint brush, for larger parts with lots of accumulated crud.
I have a parts washer, kerosene solvent, where I can soak and clean parts.
Pressure sprayer for even larger parts and knocking off the exterior crud.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Removing front wheel
Not quite sure what you are referring to when you are talking about the "arm". I looked here:
http://www.cleancomputes.com/Cub/Blue%2 ... 20Axle.htm
specifically around page 3-10. Am I to understand I have to completely disassemble the front axle assembly and steering gear housing to do what you are suggesting? This looks like it will take a lot longer than 10 minutes.
Re: Removing front wheel
Yes, on page 3-12, nut 29 is the one you want to tighten. Somebody here mentioned it, and it works....loosen the clamp nut that's in arm 25, pull the cotter pin out of nut 29, then slip a wrench over the nut. Turn the steering wheel and thread the shaft deeper onto the nut (turn to the right). Takes some back and forth, but there is just enough room to slip a wrench in the opening. Button her back up....Takes 20-25 minutes the first time you do it - less than 10 on the second one if your cotter pin cooperates.
Re: Removing front wheel
I am not too fond of water based 'cleaners' on bearings or internal parts, but should be fine if you get it dry. BTW don't use compressed air to dry bearings.....
Lately I have been using 100% biodiesel for parts cleaning. It is a good parts cleaning solvent, supposed to be biodegradable and around here it has a hint of fried clams and donuts!

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.
French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.
The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.
The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.
The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.
One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.
During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.
France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.
