Thanks for visiting Veg Plotting and welcome :)
This post is a quick tour of my blog to highlight some of its key features and I hope it'll help you to quickly feel at home.
Starting with the right hand sidebar...
Sprechen Sie Deutsch, ou Francais, o Espanol or...? No problem! There's a Translate button at the top just in case you feel more comfortable reading Veg Plotting in another language.
And then...
...there's some summary Pages to help you get started which includes a bit about me plus an introduction to my garden and allotment plot. I've also started a Free Resources and Tutorials page for posts other readers have said they've found particularly useful. If you'd like to know more about the place where I live, there's a page full of links to tell you more about Chippenham. There's a Glossary which tells you about the abbreviations I use and also a Popular Posts page which highlights some of my most read posts and series of articles. They'll give you an idea of the wide range of topics I write about.
Once you've finished with any of these you just click on the Home Page link to bring you back to my blog. Clicking on the Veg Plotting in the box at the top of the screen does the same thing. You can do this wherever you've got yourself within my blog to get you back to where you started as an alternative to using your browser's Back button.
I've been lucky to meet a number of people both virtually and for real during my time blogging. If they also have a blog, then you'll find a Link to them in my right sidebar. There's also useful links and a few pictures dotted around. These are worth hovering over to see whether there's a link to another of my blog posts.
Note: I also carry a number of advertisements under the Sponsors banner. I've explained my approach to adverts and why I have them here. Rest assured I follow the Blog With Integrity code of practice.
Now let's move over to the top left of the page...
If you wish to home in on a particular subject, there's a Search box you can use at the top left of the page. This is just like Googling, except the search and results are restricted to what's here on my blog.
Moving on down to the left hand sidebar...
If you'd prefer just to read my blog posts without the sidebars, then I've set up an Alternative View at the top of the sidebar, which lets you read my posts in a magazine-style format. I've always said Veg Plotting is the magazine I'd like to read, so now you can too. Use your Back button to get back to the usual way my blog is displayed.
Below this is my Avatar picture and an extract from my Google profile. Clicking on the link takes you to my full profile details. Again, your Back button takes you back to the blog.
If you like what you see and would like to come back for more, I've set up a number of Subscription options for you. If you use a web reader such as Bloglines, then subscribing to my RSS feed is the one for you. Alternatively you can subscribe by email and have my posts pop into your inbox each time I publish a new one. Bear in mind I'm currently publishing at least three times a week. There's also some direct Follow links to my blog's account on the most popular blog readers such as bloglovin' or if you want to Follow via your WordPress account. If you already have a Google account, then the Follower option is your best bet. I rather like your avatars winking at me from the sidebar :)
My Other Scribblings gives you an idea of the other publications I write for, plus details of the guest posts I've written for other blogs.
I've chosen to show you the Weather where I live as this is important to me as a gardener and perhaps you'd like to compare it with where you are at the moment. Clicking on this for more information will take you out of my blog, so you'll need to use your Back button to get back to me.
Further down, you'll find the Archive section. This is a listing of all my posts by year and month. Toggling on the little arrow keys to the left of each year lets you see which months I've published, and the same action on each month shows you the titles of each post available.
At the bottom of the page is the Labels section which shows the broad topics I write about and the number of articles written for each of them. Using Search (top left of the page) or Labels will present you with a series of appropriate articles I've written and you can simply page through them as you like.
So what's the bit in the middle then?
Ahhh, that's the most important bit. The place where my blog posts appear, either in their 'straight' diary reverse date order form or according to any Search, Label or Archive process you may have applied. In order to give you a reasonable download time, I've restricted the number of posts per page to 4. You'll find buttons to take you to Older (and Newer when appropriate) posts after the fourth or last post in the set you're viewing.
At the bottom of each post there's a You Might Also Like heading which has 5 photos beneath it. These are Veg Plotting posts selected by a clever little application called LinkWithin. If you like the look of what you see, click on the picture to go to the full post - it's a great random way to find out lots of other goodies on the blog :)
The only time you won't find my posts in the middle is when you've clicked to view a Page.
And finally...
... do dive in, enjoy and if you have any questions or anything to say about my blog in general or on a specific post, then we can start a conversation in the Comments either via the link below or via the one below the particular post you're looking at. Or you can email me via vegplotting at gmail dot com :)

Minky Slow-close Toilet Seat in Black, Pine and Mahogany
This Minky toilet seat has a shiny coating that's easy-to-clean and hygienic.
This would be enough to set it apart from many toilet seats on its own, and that's all before you get to the special hydraulic hinges that ensure the seat and lid close smoothly, slowly and, most importantly, quietly.
This eliminates the loud slams that can occur (and apart from the noise, these can also damage the actual seat).
The Minky slow-close toilet seat is available in white, pine, mahogany and black colour options, so it's easy to find one that will suit the style of your bathroom or WC.
Useful info:
- Minky slow-close toilet seat
- Shiny, easy-clean coating
- Hydraulic hinges close smoothly and quietly
- Dimensions: 52 x 40 x 8 cm

Croydex Douglas Toilet Seat in Natural Pine
New sit tight adjustable hinges fit all standard toilets. Durable moulded wood. Stainless steel hinges. All fittings included. Hinge adjustment 105 - 205mm. The Sit Tight toilet seat solves the common problem of toilet seats coming loose over time. The Sit Tight toilet seat uses a glue and screw fixing system to secure the toilet seat hinges in place. Using the toilet seat to get the correct position, the hinges are glued in place with a high strength adhesive. The toilet seat is fitted onto the pan and screwed in place using the tool provided.
The Double-Fixed toilet seat is ready to use straight away with no movement; just Fit and Forget. Anti-bacterial toilet seat Hygiene 'n' Clean is an anti-bacterial treatment that is incorporated into the toilet seat at the time of manufacture. It inhabits the growth of bacteria and other organisms which can degrade products and generate unpleasant odours, whilst also protecting against E-Coli, Listeria, MRSA and Salmonella, to name but a few.
The toilet seat is Slow Close preventing slamming, Quick Release for cleaning and Top Fix meaning the toilet seat is fitted from above.

When The Yard reopens as The Craftsman in mid-February, co-owner John Grondorf said the interior will be completely revamped.
"It will be like you're in someone's living room," he said Wednesday afternoon, taking a break from the retrofits he's working on with help from a few employees.
The construction that has temporarily closed the downtown gastropub began after a New Year's Eve party sendoff. In addition to the facelift, which will put a bigger focus on the bar, manager Michael Gormican said to expect new late-night hours.
A smaller menu and craft cocktails and brews will be served until midnight on weekdays and until 1 a.m. on weekends, Gormican said.
Next-door, the ale house formerly known as the Broadway Ale House is under new ownership and is now called The Commons.
The Yard opened in 2008 on Broadway, between Ocean Avenue and Second Street, with executive chef Chris "CJ" Jacobson—best known as a contestant on TV's Top Chef—helming the kitchen (Jacobson has since left).
"After five years, it was time for a fresh start," said Grondorf, hinting there was a falling out among some of the partners. Plus, he said, with a new name, customers will stop confusing it with The Yardhouse.

New York Giants safety Tyler Sash plans to meet with NFL commissioner Rogers Goodell on Monday to discuss his four-game suspension for using a banned prescription drug in the offseason. Sash said Sunday he is hoping that Goodell will listen to what he has to say and reduce his suspension, which is schedule to cover the first four games of the regular season. The league has already heard Sash's formal appeal of the suspension and rejected it.||||||| A doctor gave Sash a prescription for Adderall in March to help him deal with anxiety while at with public speaking appearances. He did not know it was banned by NFL policy. Sash, 24, a native of Oskaloosa, Iowa, had 17 tackles last season, his first in the NFL.
New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin feels the NFL didn't use common sense in suspending Sash for a violation of the league's performance enhancing drug policy. The league announced the suspension Tuesday, saying Sash would be ineligible for the first four games of the season.||||||| Sash said he took a prescription drug (Adderall) while under a doctor's care for an anxiety condition in March, having no idea it was banned by NFL policy. The league denied his appeal. Coughlin defended his second-year player Wednesday after practice, saying Sash has no intention of doing anything illegal. The 65-year-old coach said he understands the rule but "sometimes you think maybe common sense needs to be involved in this."

Thirty-one members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club competed in a team bass tournament on April 2, 2011 at Sardis Lake. The tournament began at "safe light" with temperatures in the low 40's and ended at 4:00 p.m. with temperatures in the low 80's. Catching a keeper proved to be difficult as half of the anglers were unable to bring a keeper bass to the final weigh-in. Those who were able to find some "keeper" bass were able to put together some nice stringer weights.

The Auburn University Aviation program will maintain its AABI Accreditation, allowing the program to grow. The program had been in jeopardy until recently.
The AABI is the Aviation Accreditation Board International which sets standards for all aerospace programs in the U.S. and around the world.
With the maintained accreditation, JetBlue Airways' University Gateway Program will also continue and aviation students will be able to participate in internships and get hired with reduced flight hours.
The announcement is big news for aviation program after the program was on verge of elimination less than a year ago.
A new building is in the works to house the program after a long-determined fight by industry leaders and alumni was waged to save the program.
AABI Accreditation will be maintained, ensuring a positive future for the nation's oldest continually-operated aviation program and industry leader.

Your visibility on the site is controlled entirely by you and your community.
What is included in gogofactor?
Your gogofactor is a combination of many factors that measure the overall activity of your campaign along with the completeness of your pitch and media.
Your gogofactor is a rolling average, so it's important to continually keep your campaign active. Your campaign is ranked relative to all of the other campaigns on the site. By staying active, your gogofactor will continue to go up. If you have been working hard at your campaign and you still don't see yourself on our homepage or category pages, don't worry! Sometimes it just takes time to build a high gogofactor.
We use gogofactor as our key measure because we find that there is a direct correlation between campaign activity and fundraising success. The more active you keep your campaign, the more likely you are to meet your goal.

The Sharks never held the lead in Game Two except at the final horn when they defeated the Avalanche in overtime. For many Sharks fans though, that was the best thing to happen to the team. From our friends over at Fear The Fin:
I think this is exactly what the Sharks needed; it was an effort by the team that was not only motivating, but unexpected. Yes, there were issues; Nabokov had a terrible game, Murray was almost directly responsible for two of the goals, and the big three still hasn't contributed a goal.
However, the Sharks really did play a good game, save for the five Avalanche goals. The trap was no longer as effective, and the match really could have been worse for Colorado: Nabokov should have had the last two goals, and the goaltender interference call on Setoguchi was close to criminal (at least in my humble opinion). Add in a few hit posts, and that one could have been pretty ugly. The neutral zone trap employed by Joe Sacco was deftly solved by Todd McLellan and broken by the drive of his players. What will the young Sacco do to stop the Sharks now? We'll find out tomorrow, but I'm guessing that the game will be a bit more open in Colorado. The Av's won't be near as conservative.
Whether the Sharks can continue to ride that momentum is yet to be seen with puck drop scheduled for 9:30 pm EDT.

- The cost of firms' debt financing (2013)
- We provide an assessment of the determinants of the risk remia paid by non-financial corporations on long-term bonds. By looking at 5,500 issues over the period 2005-2012, we find that in recent years the sovereign debt market turbulence has been a major driver of corporate risk. Compared with the three-year period 2005-07 before the global financial crisis, in the years 2010-12 Italian, Spanish and Portuguese firms paid on average between 70 and 120 basis points of additional premium due to the negative spillovers from the sovereign debt crisis, while German firms got a discount of 40 basis points.
- The capital structure of banks and practice of bank restructuring : eight case studies on current bank restructurings in Europe ; final report (2013)
- This study presents an empirical analysis of capital and liability management in eight cases of bank restructurings and resolutions from eight different European countries. It can be read as a companion piece to an earlier study by the author covering the specific bank restructuring programs of Greece, Spain and Cyprus during 2012/13. The study portrays for each case the timelines between the initial credit event and the (last) restructuring. It proceeds to discuss the capital and liability management activity before restructuring and the restructuring itself, launches an attempt to calibrate the extent of creditor participation as well as expected loss by government, and engages in a counterfactual discussion of what could have been a least cost restructuring approach. Four of the eight cases are resolutions, i.e. the original bank is unwound (Anglo Irish Bank, Amagerbanken, Dexia, Laiki), while the four other banks have de-facto or de-jure become nationalized and are awaiting re-privatization after the restructuring (Deutsche Pfandbriefbank/Hypo Real Estate, Bankia, SNS Reaal, Alpha Bank). The case selection follows considerations of their model character for the European bank restructuring and resolution policy discussion while straddling both the U.S. (2007 - 2010) and the European (2010 - ) legs of the financial crisis, which each saw very different policy responses....
- VaR-implied tail-correlation matrices (2013)
- Empirical evidence suggests that asset returns correlate more strongly in bear markets than conventional correlation estimates imply. We propose a method for determining complete tail correlation matrices based on Value-at-Risk (VaR) estimates. We demonstrate how to obtain more efficient tail-correlation estimates by use of overidentification strategies and how to guarantee positive semidefiniteness, a property required for valid risk aggregation and Markowitz{type portfolio optimization. An empirical application to a 30-asset universe illustrates the practical applicability and relevance of the approach in portfolio management.
- Input-output-based measures of systemic importance (2013)
- The analyses of intersectoral linkages of Leontief (1941) and Hirschman (1958) provide a natural way to study the transmission of risk among interconnected banks and to measure their systemic importance. In this paper we show how classic input-output analysis can be applied to banking and how to derive six indicators that capture different aspects of systemic importance, using a simple numerical example for illustration. We also discuss the relationship with other approaches, most notably network centrality measures, both formally and by means of a simulated network.
- Systemic risk in the financial sector: what can we learn from option markets? (2013)
- In this paper, we propose a novel approach on how to estimate systemic risk and identify its key determinants. For all US financial companies with publicly traded equity options, we extract their option-implied value-at-risks (VaRs) and measure the spillover effects between individual company VaRs and the option-implied VaR of an US financial index. First, we study the spillover effect of increasing company risks on the financial sector. Second, we analyze which companies are most affected if the tail risk of the financial sector increases. We find that key accounting and market valuation metrics such as size, leverage, balance sheet composition, market-to-book ratio and earnings have a significant influence on the systemic risk profile of a financial institution. In contrast to earlier studies, the employed panel vector autoregression (PVAR) estimator allows for a causal interpretation of the results.
- Money in monetary policy design : monetary cross-checking in the New-Keynesian model (2009)
- In the New-Keynesian model, optimal interest rate policy under uncertainty is formulated without reference to monetary aggregates as long as certain standard assumptions on the distributions of unobservables are satisfied. The model has been criticized for failing to explain common trends in money growth and inflation, and that therefore money should be used as a cross-check in policy formulation (see Lucas (2007)). We show that the New-Keynesian model can explain such trends if one allows for the possibility of persistent central bank misperceptions. Such misperceptions motivate the search for policies that include additional robustness checks. In earlier work, we proposed an interest rate rule that is near-optimal in normal times but includes a cross-check with monetary information. In case of unusual monetary trends, interest rates are adjusted. In this paper, we show in detail how to derive the appropriate magnitude of the interest rate adjustment following a significant cross-check with monetary information, when the New-Keynesian model is the central bank's preferred model. The cross-check is shown to be effective in offsetting persistent deviations of inflation due to central bank misperceptions.

- A blocking and regularization approach to high dimensional realized covariance estimation (2009)
- We introduce a regularization and blocking estimator for well-conditioned high-dimensional daily covariances using high-frequency data. Using the Barndorff-Nielsen, Hansen, Lunde, and Shephard (2008a) kernel estimator, we estimate the covariance matrix block-wise and regularize it. A data-driven grouping of assets of similar trading frequency ensures the reduction of data loss due to refresh time sampling. In an extensive simulation study mimicking the empirical features of the S&P 1500 universe we show that the 'RnB' estimator yields efficiency gains and outperforms competing kernel estimators for varying liquidity settings, noise-to-signal ratios, and dimensions. An empirical application of forecasting daily covariances of the S&P 500 index confirms the simulation results.

- Surprising comparative properties of monetary models : results from a new data base (2009)
- In this paper we investigate the comparative properties of empirically-estimated monetary models of the U.S. economy. We make use of a new data base of models designed for such investigations. We focus on three representative models: the Christiano, Eichenbaum, Evans (2005) model, the Smets and Wouters (2007) model, and the Taylor (1993a) model. Although the three models differ in terms of structure, estimation method, sample period, and data vintage, we find surprisingly similar economic impacts of unanticipated changes in the federal funds rate. However, the optimal monetary policy responses to other sources of economic fluctuations are widely different in the different models. We show that simple optimal policy rules that respond to the growth rate of output and smooth the interest rate are not robust. In contrast, policy rules with no interest rate smoothing and no response to the growth rate, as distinct from the level, of output are more robust. Robustness can be improved further by optimizing rules with respect to the average loss across the three models.

- Did fair-value accounting contribute to the financial crisis? (2009)
- The recent financial crisis has led to a major debate about fair-value accounting. Many critics have argued that fair-value accounting, often also called mark-to-market accounting, has significantly contributed to the financial crisis or, at least, exacerbated its severity. In this paper, we assess these arguments and examine the role of fair-value accounting in the financial crisis using descriptive data and empirical evidence. Based on our analysis, it is unlikely that fair-value accounting added to the severity of the current financial crisis in a major way. While there may have been downward spirals or asset-fire sales in certain markets, we find little evidence that these effects are the result of fair-value accounting. We also find little support for claims that fair-value accounting leads to excessive write-downs of banks' assets. If anything, empirical evidence to date points in the opposite direction, that is, towards overvaluation of bank assets.

- The market impact of a limit order (2009)
- Despite their importance in modern electronic trading, virtually no systematic empirical evidence on the market impact of incoming orders is existing. We quantify the short-run and long-run price effect of posting a limit order by proposing a high-frequency cointegrated VAR model for ask and bid quotes and several levels of order book depth. Price impacts are estimated by means of appropriate impulse response functions. Analyzing order book data of 30 stocks traded at Euronext Amsterdam, we show that limit orders have significant market impacts and cause a dynamic (and typically asymmetric) rebalancing of the book. The strength and direction of quote and spread responses depend on the incoming orders' aggressiveness, their size and the state of the book. We show that the effects are qualitatively quite stable across the market. Cross-sectional variations in the magnitudes of price impacts are well explained by the underlying trading frequency and relative tick size.

Zionsville —
They could have made it anything. Apartments. A vinyl village. A big box retailer.
Brothers Steve and Chad Pittman were approached by all of these possibilities for their family's high profile land at the southwest corner of Michigan Road and Sycamore Street.
But instead, the Pittmans filed Tuesday, May 14, plans for The Farm, a mixed-use development they say will be their family's "legacy project."
The plan was to be filed as a planned unit development, which would give the Pittmans total control over zoning and development standards, including specific guidelines included in the Michigan Road zoning overlay area.
The Pittmans have spent the last 18 months in weekly meetings across the country looking for the best in retail, residential and office development. "We're very patient," Chad Pittman said.
"We want to get a good plan approved that we can take out and show the world," Steve Pittman said. "They've said no to a lot of things. This is a way for Zionsville to say 'yes, we are open for business.'"
Zionsville director of planning and economic development Wayne DeLong said town's strategic plan calls for a mixed use project on the site. The strategic plan labels the corner a "gateway district" and stresses in importance of architecture since the location is a main entrance into town.
"We'd have to first review the petition to make sure that it's met the standards," DeLong said Monday, May 13. "The town's expectations are very high."
If the plan passes the initial review, it will be set for discussion at the next Zionsville Plan Commission meeting at 7 p.m. June 17. The plan commission could give a favorable or unfavorable recommendation to the Zionsville Town Council, which has the final say on approving the PUD.

Cole completes Roma move
6:22pm Monday 7th July 2014 in Football © Press Association 2014
Former Chelsea and England defender Ashley Cole has completed his switch to Roma.
The 33-year-old left-back, a free agent following his release by the Blues earlier this summer, had been linked with a number of teams both in the Barclays Premier League and in Europe.
A statement on the Serie A club's official website confirmed Cole had signed a two-year contract.
It read: "AS Roma have acquired Ashley Cole's playing registration on a two-year deal which expires on June 30, 2016.
"The agreement also gives the club the right to extend the contract into a further season."
Cole flew to the Italian capital earlier on Monday, with Roma posting a photo on their official Twitter feed, with the message: "Welcome to Rome, Ashley!"
The full-back subsequently underwent a medical before travelling to Roma's Trigoria headquarters to sign a contract that will reportedly net him 4.6million euros (£3.65million) in wages.
Cole left Arsenal in May 2000 as part of a deal which saw William Gallas join the Gunners, and spent eight seasons with Chelsea, during which he won the Champions League, Europa League, Premier League and four FA Cups.
He earned 107 England caps but announced his retirement from international football ahead of the World Cup after he was left out of Roy Hodgson's squad for the finals in Brazil.
At Roma his mission will be to boost the fortunes of a side that improved from sixth to second place in Serie A following Rudi Garcia's appointment as coach last summer. Champions League football will return to the Stadio Olimpico later this year.
The Giallorossi led the table in the early part of the 2013-14 campaign after winning 10 consecutive games but results dropped off, allowing Juventus to overhaul them and clinch a third straight title.
Cole was the second new arrival at Trigoria on Monday, with Fenerbahce midfielder Salih Ucan joining on a one-year loan.
Roma will pay the Turkish club 4.75million euros (£3.8million) to have the player next season and can extend the loan for a second campaign at no further cost.
They will then have the option to purchase the player in the summer of 2016 for an additional 11million euros (£8.75million).
Cole later tweeted: "Will never forget my time in England was a pleasure, but now onto a new challenge."

Gala Pump by DS Labs - BMEidea 2013 Finalist
Meet the Innovators
The team:
Gala Pump by DS Labs
The team members:
Susan Thompson, age 28, from Baltimore, Maryland
Adriana Blazeski, age 26, from Ann Arbor, Michigan
Johns Hopkins University
The device:
A hands-free, concealable, and quiet breast pump that women can use discreetly in the presence of others.
The problem:
After having her first child, Susan struggled to incorporate a healthy and efficient pumping schedule into her routine upon returning to work and to graduate school. She often found herself in stressful situations, getting behind on pumping while missing out on work and school time. After speaking with other new mothers and conducting additional research, she discovered an overwhelming need for a discrete and effective breast pump that mothers could use while multitasking during the day.
The solution:
The Gala Pump is a hands-free, concealable, quiet and effective breast pump that women can use in the presence of others. The device uses massage-induced milk expression that mimics hand-expression and has a low-profile collection system that includes a reservoir at the base of the breast. The compact device can easily fit into an undergarment, eliminating the need for bulkier vacuum pumps.
The word "Gala" means milk in Greek and relates to a story in Greek mythology about the creation of the Milky Way.
Challenges facing the team:
Refining the prototype to be as effective as possible has been a challenge for DS Labs. The compression technology provides an excellent solution to traditional vacuum technology, with far more benefits than standard breast pumps. DS Labs has gone through many versions of the prototype design to ensure they are as effective and efficient as possible.
Accomplishments and progress to date:
DS Labs is a 2013 BMEidea finalist as well as a 2013 finalist at MassChallenge, a fellowship accelerator program in Massachusetts. Additionally, the team won the Johns Hopkins University Life Science Business Competition and the University of Maryland Business Competition in 2012, both of which offered funding that supported DS Labs in building prototypes.
Their tip for other student innovators:
Don't be afraid to ask for help! DS Labs has cold contacted a lot of people looking for advice and it has been incredibly helpful. Not everyone responds – they have seen a 50% hit rate – but many people are happy to give a little of their time if they can be of assistance.

While a lot of attention will be on the Reno rodeo arena Friday night, there is plenty of action going on outside it as well.
Organizers have worked hard over the years to turn this into a family-friendly event.
The carnival here is a big attraction for the little ones in the family.
"It's always a good time to bring your kids out in the sunshine and the rides of course are a good attraction. And it's my day off from work, so what a better way to spend the day than at the rodeo," says Reno resident Rebekah Landis.
The carnival started up at 4pm Friday and will be open until midnight.
When we arrived earlier, crews were busy setting up. But later this evening, you can bet it will be packed in here with kids and parents.
Another big draw outside of the arena--are all the vendors in town from around the country.
Many of them have been coming back for years.
They say the people here are all so friendly--and business is always good as well.
"It's well established, it's great for the vendors. And so we thought we'd come down the second year because we had a wonderful time the first," says Oregon vendor Bonnie Gibons.
Reno vendor Bambi Gallio adds, "It's been great. It's been really great working with the rodeo staff. They've been really helpful to us."
Another thing to keep in mind is all the great food down here.
Vendors from around town are set up in the carnival area--so if you get hungry there are plenty of tasty options.

It took a postponement and three rain delays, but the Reds did finally beat the Cubs in the series opener at Great American Ball Park.
Billy Hamilton had three hits, including his first career home run, as the Reds improved to 12-14 on the season with a 3-2 win.
Alfredo Simon, making his first start since a civil lawsuit against him went public, pitched six innings and allowed two earned runs to improve to 4-1 on the season.
Rain has now delayed games seven times in the ten games played this season at Great American Ball Park. Those delays have added up to more than 11 hours.
The Reds will finish the series with Chicago on Wednesday. Tony Cingrani will start for Cincinnati.
Before the game, Aroldis Chapman threw 25 pitches off the mound, without a protective screen, against Reds batters in the next step of his recovery. Chapman said after the session he expects to pitch in a game for the first time since his injury on Thursday in Dayton.
Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said that timetable was not yet set and would likely announce Chapman's destination and date on Wednesday.

Balance exercises can help you maintain your balance — and confidence — at any age. If you're an older adult, balance exercises are especially important because they can help you prevent falls and maintain your independence.
Nearly any activity that keeps you on your feet and moving, such as walking, can help you maintain good balance. You can also include specific balance exercises in your daily routine. Try balancing on one foot while waiting in line, or stand up and sit down without using your hands.
If you have severe balance problems or an orthopedic condition, get your doctor's OK before doing balance exercises.
When you're ready to try balance exercises, start with weight shifts:
Standing on one leg is another common balance exercise:
You can do many balance exercises with weights. Try biceps curls with a dumbbell:

Throttle Not Opening All the Way Up
Fresh off getting the '48 running again, we've run into a little snag in helping her reach full potential.
The governor seems to not let the engine go all the way to wide open throttle. Since there is no tach, it's kind of hard to tell what it's leaving on the table. I know that there is no change in engine RPM over the last three notches of the throttle. I can physically go push the rod between the governor and the carb back and it will run faster, but the rod is constantly fighting against me to go back away from the carb.
Tractor is running good otherwise for the most part. Was going to do a little clipping today with the C-2, but with the engine not getting to full throttle, those plans were stalled.
Anyone know of some things to check with the governor? I never opened it up. Didn't want to mess with it because I really didn't want to get into it if it ran OK. Can I unstick the weights from the outside? Is there any oil in it? I see a small drain plug in the front. Think if I flushed it with some diesel it would free up? Any other ideas that don't involve taking off the hood & fan?
Here's to some seat time tomorrow for everyone !

Dennis, go to this web page http://www.cleancomputes.com/Cub/Blue%2 ... System.htm and go to the bottom of page 28 "Sychronizing the governor to carb throttle movement.
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: Throttle Not Opening All the Way Up
Many times it isn't the governor itself but the linkages that may be binding up a bit. Suggest you spray a good penetrating oil into all the connections on the linkage as well as the bumper spring, let them soak a bit, spray some more and try to move the governor rod a few times each spritz to help clean out and lube the connections. With luck that is all that needs to be done. See the drawing below:

Re: Throttle Not Opening All the Way Up
Rudi & Barnyard, Thanks for the tips.
I had sprayed all the linkages a few times hoping to "free it up" and forego an invasive operation. I considered adjusting the control rod to the carb today, but didn't figure that was the real problem. Rust tells me it's been like that for a while. Ofcourse thanks to Barn's link I see now that lengthening the rod is a technical procedure called synchronizing. Maybe tomorrow I can also look real close and see if it's hitting the maximum speed adjusting top screw.
And to add flavor to the discussion, this '48 has a Zenith carb. So who knows if things were sync'd upon installation.

Re: Throttle Not Opening All the Way Up
Also double check that the rod from the governor arm to the carburetor is not rubbing on the engine block. I've ran across more than one cub where this was the case, and you just could not see that it was hitting. It doesn't take much of a touch to that rod to keep it from moving fully. Years of re-painting, oil, grease, dirt, rust, etc, can easily build up there and cause it to rub and not let the governor actuate the carb butterfly fully. Trust me, it's worth looking closer at before you do anything else.

Re: Throttle Not Opening All the Way Up
After you have checked the stuff the guys mentioned, check item 13 in the pic above. It is the max allowable RPM set screw. If item 11 is pulled all the way till it contacts 13, the engine won't rev any higher with the throttle lever. Then check the spring itself (7). Look for uneven pull on the spring with the throttle set to high. With age, the spring gets weak and can no longer over power the weights inside the governor, which won't allow full high RPMs.
With both of these, you'll still be able to manipulate it with the rod on the left side to get higher settings, but not the lever will have no affect.

Re: Throttle Not Opening All the Way Up
I'm going to take a little different approach than the others in my advice. While you may have a calibrated ear and intuition to let you know it's not getting to 1800 RPM, I would get (buy or borrow) a hand held tach and stick it on the PTO or an electronic one clipped to the coil and KNOW FOR SURE. Then follow the suggestions given including synchronizing the carb BEFORE monkeying with the governer internals. It could be something drastic broken but I'll bet it's just a little wear and a small adjustment off.

I don't understand why you didn't take the tractor out to mow unless the Cub did not have enough power to spin up the mower. You should not see wide open throttle when the tractor is stationary and the engine has little to no load. That would indicate a tune up or mechanical repairs are imminent.
Plowing or mowing are a different story, low power may be traced back to wide open throttle never occuring. There may be enough play (wear) in the joints between the governor and the carburetor to prevent the throttle plate from fully opening - wear at #6 key and in the two associated keyways is a major culprit for considerable play an unexpected location.

Re: Throttle Not Opening All the Way Up
I am going to go out on a limb and guess you are not used to working on engines with governors. The hand lever does not normally open the throttle plate all the way when running, unless there is a heavy load applied to the engine, then it attempts to bring it up to the 1800 rpm it is supposed to max at. There is a stop (small cap screw with jam nut) on top of the governor that limits maximum rpm, but before adjusting that you need to check the rpm, over speeding will shorten the engine life,as well as cause excessive vibration in mowers, or other pto driven attachments.

Re: Throttle Not Opening All the Way Up
Carl & John,
You're right, I'm not used to dealing with governors at all. This tractor is more than twice as old as I am.
How can I know for sure that the governor is working correctly? I can try to go mow. Should I just ease into some thick grass and see if the governor will open the engine up more by itself?
One thing I would like to point out is that when I go and push on the rod to the carburetor, I am getting some resistance. I can push the rod in for maybe a couple of seconds and then the resistance comes. It gets stronger and eventually I have to push against it very hard to hold it. This makes me thing that I am pushing against the weights, as I think the spring resistance would be more linear.
Why do they have the last three notches on the throttle? Is this just the setting that the governor can open the engine up to should it have the need?
I am a little leery of opening up the governor. I'm also leery of adjusting the max RPM screw as I have no current way to check it.

Re: Throttle Not Opening All the Way Up
The resistance you feel is the governor saying, "Close the throttle! The engine is over speeding."
Take the tractor out and mow in second gear. The engine should run at a fairly steady speed, it may bog down or stall if you have very tall or thick vegetation to mow. If it does, shift to first gear or take a "half bite" with each pass. There should not be any surge or lag as the load changes. The governor is a cruise control that keeps the engine at peak torque.

Here is what you need to check your RPMs. http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-STEWART-WARNER-SW-Hand-Held-TACHOMETER-TACH-METER-0-4000-RPM-R-/380671518293?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item58a1ca6655 Lots of folks use these to check RPMs, they are not all that expensive and accurate enough for working on our Cubs.

Re: Throttle Not Opening All the Way Up
I have two of these and they are really handy to have. Pretty darn accurate .. they are a must in my tool box
And that is a really good price. Most of the time they go for a lot more. To get the pair I have, I must have bid on 20 or 30 of them to finally win.

Re: Throttle Not Opening All the Way Up
I doubt any cub that is functioning correctly actually uses all the notches up, and has a noticeable increase in engine speed at each new both setting. Some of them only use 1/2 the notches to achieve full throttle settings. I wouldn't worry about the last three notches, nor the fact that you can move the throttle lever when at "full throttle" setting. Both are normal. As others have said, focus on the correct things here, which are removing any slop in the governor to carburetor linkage, and the actual RPM measured at "full throttle" setting on your throttle quadrant.

So far in 2012, five kids have been hit by cars on their way to school or the bus stop.
Just two weeks ago, 12-year-old Devon Rojas was hit on 68th Street West in Lehigh Acres.
The same week, an S-U-V hit 14-year-old Giovany Richard near his bus stop in San Carlos Park.
Early in September also in San Carlos Park, a driver hit 17-year-old Keisha BeinAime. She's still recovering from injuries.
In June,12-year-old Esterson Celestin was struck while riding his bike on 8th Street Southwest in Lehigh Acres.
And in April, just blocks away on the same street, 9-year-old Bryson Covey was hit while running to catch his bus.
In four of the five incidents, the child - not the driver- was at fault. Now the community is rallying together to stop more kids from getting hurt, raising awareness on International Walk to School Day.
It's an early morning, filled with lessons for an early age.
Seven-year-old Nadia Villanueva and her older brother Oscar are just two of thousands of Lee County kids that sometimes walk to school or the bus stop.
"Cars come by really fast and if you don't be careful they can come and hit you," says Oscar.
While they know what they're supposed to do, doing it isn't always easy.
"Kids are kids and it's hard to keep their mind set on not running around playing tag, or hide and seek or whatever they might play in that couple of seconds before the bus, they get a little overwhelmed or carried away and they don't pay attention," says Bonita Springs Elementary parent Heather Foreman.
That's why adults are walking with students to Bonita Springs Elementary school on International Walk to School Day.
"We want to teach children how to walk safely, that they need to walk to the left, face traffic walk in the sidewalks if possible, if not if they can't, let's move all the way over to the left as far as we can so that way we can be safe when we're walking," says Charlene Gardner, Safe Kids Lee/Collier County Coordinator.
Education is the strongest defense.
"This way we can reduce any pedestrian related injuries or fatalities," says Gardner.
The National Center for Health Statistics cites road traffic injuries as the leading cause of death among children ages three to 14.
"Bus stops are scary because a lot of people don't look for little kids," says Foreman.
Armed with reflectors and signs, the group reminds drivers to slow down and gently explains to kids what could happen.
"You could end up in the hospital with serious injuries," says Oscar.
A situation that no child or parent wants to face.

Easy to assemble and really easy on my back. I use mine for laundry and bringing groceries up to my apartment. I used to make 3 trips in the elevator until I got this cart. It's strong and handles a lot of weight very well. Note to female senior citizens like myself who don't have a lot of experience putting things together: When you put on the big wheels, make sure to BEND the last little clip you put through the rod to hold the wheels on. If you don't bend it around, it will work itself out and the wheel falls off. Yea, you got it. I didn't bend the clip and both wheels fell off just before I got it to the car to load up. Thank God I managed to gather up all the pieces and put it back together on the spot. For 65 years I have been learning things the hard way. Seems like that isn't going to change any time soon. (;
Heavy gauge steel. Real rubber wheels. This thing turns heads man! Instructions are a tad hard to follow. Here is a tip, move your OLD shopping cart near you when you assemble this. Look at the instruction that come with your order, then look at that section of you OLD chart. The rest is cake. PS: If you don't need the old cart anymore, please don�t just throw it in the garbage, give it away or put it where someone who needs it will find it.
Cart was above my expectations.....I use it all the time...for groceries, transporting items and even in the yard!
This cart is very handy for carting groceries and other items between car and 2nd floor condo unit. A bit difficult to steer using all 4 wheels but once tilted back onto back wheels, moves very easily. Holds a great deal.
Didn't know I was purchasing a "Made in China" product. Disappointed item not made in USA. Poorly written instructions & crappy diagram for how- to -assemble the cart. Had to cut a slit into the black oval plastic caps in order to make them fit the metal edges at bottom of cart. Thank God for U tube . . . found a video demonstrating how to assemble a Jumbo sized shopping cart. Wiring seems a bit flimsy so I hope it doesn't fall apart after I put it to use a few times. One very good thing - sturdy wheels. I still intend to continue to shop at Overstock because I always end up saving time and money on household and office items.
Bought it for a laundry cart on wheels and it serves the purpose and my needs just fine.
I had to put the wheels on six different times (because I'm not wonderful at reading Chinese directions). BUT I DID IT! My only little complaint now is that it is TOO BIG, believe it or not. I never buy that many groceries. And I will just be waiting for the darn wheels to fall off/ They don't seem sturdy enough.
For a fold-up cart, I found it very heavy to carry back and forth in my car. I should have purchased an aluminum model for ease of portability. Sturdy, though.
You advertise the shopping card as �heavy duty�� �Extra Large Heavy-duty Shopping Cart� for a lousy imitation of the REAL heavy duty cart that looks the same, but is by all means different as day and night! That hype about how �great� this cart is comes surely from those people who use it for laundry or items less then 10pounds! For those who have the need to load more then 10pounds it is utterly useless! HEAVY DUTY! Those two words have been used to sell something that never is, was or will be what it claimed to be! Overstock uses that deceptive speech that used car salesman are known for and that is: to sell something they need to get rid of fast, using deception, them knowing well what they sell is a fraud! I WILL LIST the reasons WHY: 1. Though the cart might be ideal for �groceries and laundry� it is UTTERLY useless for more then 2 10lbs sacks of potatoes! ANY more then that and the wheels as well as the rod will show the weight and are hard to move and worse: the rods will bend�! 2. The bigger wheels are NOT solid and that can be witnessed as they show the strain of the weight with just 1 (24) case of distilled water battles! It should be able too (as a HEAVY DUTY CART) carry up to 150lbs_as the REAL ONES Do), but with this IMITATION the wheels can be seen wavering from side to side. WE took from the beginning great care to find out what the cart can do for us and paid close attention to how the wheels handle whatever we put in. Soon we realized, THE larger back WHEELS are absolutely USELESS for heavy duty use since they ARE HOLLOW and made of the CHEEPEST RUBBER, so that within a couple of months they showed wear and tear and loose their traction! NOT having much money to waste we are careful with everything we be. NEVER is anything abused while in use and thus we will BLAME the manufacturer for making such junk and Overstock.com for selling it on the market for such a high price ($) AS A HEAVY DUTY CART!!! AND in our eyes that is corrupt and illegal! AND included in this statement is also that: 3. the grip on the handle is also hollow and makes it therefore much harder to wheel the cart to and fro! Well, we did learn something: DON�T by from OVERSTOCK.com! They have ONLY ONE INTEND: to fill their pockets with those they CAN deceive in the Spirit of insatiable GREED and the lack of genuine care for the costumers! It was not even worth to return this cart because we refuse to pay more postage for JUNK!!!!

---- — LONDONDERRY — School principals gave stellar opening day marks to the district's students and staff.
Principals from all of the town's three elementary schools, kindergarten, middle school and high school provided opening week information to the School Board last week, with all giving top grades to the ease of transition from summer to classroom.
That includes how good the district's buildings looked on opening day.
"We opened to a beautiful facility," Londonderry High school principal Jason Parent said. "Our kids also take pride in keeping it clean."
Parent said the high school roster topped at 1,630 students on opening day.
Teachers and staff are completing AED and CPR training for the new yea, he said.
"It was a smooth opening and smooth transition," he said.
At the middle school, it was also smooth sailing, with no one getting on a wrong bus and everything falling into place for the new year.
Principal Richard Zacchilli said his student number was 1,082 on the first day, up slightly from a projected 1,075 students.
Elementary schools also boasted clean halls, great staff and happy students, principals said.
New Matthew Thornton Elementary principal Sharon Putney said one fifth-grade student asked her on the first day if she were nervous coming in as the new principal.
"She said, 'You have nothing to worry about, it's a great school,'" Putney said.
She said she is happy to be working in Londonderry and is very excited about the year ahead.
Putney said district first-graders will be piloting new technology programs, including the use of iPads in the classroom and other technology upgrades.
