University of Colorado Imaging Services Relies on Presstek for Future Growth
University of the State of Colorado, CU-Boulder
University of the State of Colorado, CU-Boulder
Presstek 34DI digital offset press
Presstek 34DI digital offset press
As the flagship University of the State of Colorado, CU-Boulder is a dynamic community of scholars and learners situated on one of the most spectacular college campuses in the country. Founded in 1876, the University has more than 1,000 faculty members and serves about 30,000 students. Imaging Services has been the University's print shop since 1923 and is operated by nine full-time employees and six part-time students.
Imaging Services was seeing a growing demand for longer run (in excess of 1,000 sheets) four-color work that was too costly to produce on its existing HP Indigo digital toner-based press. The department was looking for a solution that could more cost effectively produce this volume. In addition, to meet the University's tough environmental policy requirements and to fit into its limited space, Imaging Services needed a press with a small physical and environmental footprint. The shop's goal was to increase its approximately 20% share of the University's printing volume to at least 30 percent with a more competitive production platform.
CU Imaging Services chose to acquire a Presstek 34DI digital offset press to position the shop for future growth and was able to justify this acquisition based solely on existing 1,000+ run lengths that it would be able to transfer from the HP Indigo press. "As a University Auxiliary operation," explains Al Goranson, Manager of Imaging Services, "we must generate enough printing revenue to cover our costs and any investments we need to make."
A perfect fit
The small physical footprint of the Presstek 34DI was a perfect fit for CU Imaging Services. Goranson is also pleased with the small environmental footprint of the Presstek 34DI. "As a University," he comments, "we have very strict environmental regulations we must comply with. Our environmental folks were delighted with the press' chemistry-free platemaking, waterless printing, and its lower VOCs as compared with the HP Indigo, which emits a non-toxic, but irritating, oil vapor."
With the Presstek 34DI in place, Imaging Services is on its way to a more profitable operation as well as on a path to growth. "We believe our target of capturing at least 30 percent of the University's total print volume is well within our reach," Goranson states. "Our customers have been extremely pleased with the quality the 34DI delivers. In one case, we printed a postcard which had been done the previous year by an outside source on a 40-inch five-color conventional offset press. When we compared samples, our customer agreed that the quality from the 34DI was as good as or better than the larger press. And with a run length of only 3,000, we were able to be much more competitive than a conventional offset operation could ever be."
"I am very happy with Presstek," Goranson concludes, "and the entire manner in which this project was handled. I have installed a lot of equipment in my career, and there is almost always some sort of problem. With this install, there were minor issues, but everything was handled in a good way by Presstek. I have full confidence in their professionalism, and the skills of their technicians, trainers and installers. They are a terrific partner, and I look forward to working with them as we continue to grow our business."

Sort By :
we have this all the time when we camp my buddie takes out the banana and cut it up and and the banana, choc chips and pineapple wrap it up and put on the fire it is so goood
We have not tried these with trail mix before so will have to try that. We do use a mix of chocolate chips and either peanut butter or butterscotch. They are even better than with just the plain chocolate chips.
even better drizzled with caramel ice cream topping!!
These are great to do on the grill. I have another tip for all those bananas that seem to ripen overnight. Toss them in the freezer peel and all. They look terrible and are black but it doesn't hurt them a bit. When ready to use take out as many as needed, toss them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds, depends on wattage of microwave and then proceed to use them in your recipe. No waste, no fuss and convenient.
We used to make these all the time when I was younger and camped a lot with Scouts. It was a "must have" on every camping trip! Easy and fun. Now I make them at home in the oven.

Remember Me
The annual Relay for Life Trivia Challenge saw a record number of teams participating this year. Congratulations to the three top finishing teams, who all generously donated their prize winnings back to the Relay For Life.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to them as well as to all of the supporters of this great annual event, and extend an invitation to those who've not participated in the past, to get a team together and come out next year and play.
WASHINGTON — The Cliven Bundy spectacle in Nevada has provided a Wild West backdrop for our hottest political issues as we gallop toward the midterm elections.
Politically, the conflict between the Bureau of Land Management and the Bundy family has highlighted the importance of picking one's battles wisely. Suffice to say, a smattering of pundits and politicians drank from the wrong chalice.
I've been to all the meetings, I've been looking at the financials for months and I still come to the same conclusion: I am voting yes on the city's .25-percent income tax on May 6. It is 25 cents on every $100 of earned income from a city resident. That's $125 for someone who makes $50,000 a year.
If you had the stack of financials I have sitting before me, you would see there really is no painless way out of this hole the city is in without it. There's been a lot of finger-pointing and blaming going around but ultimately, we are here and we need to work to fix it. It's going to take "all" of us.
I'd like to thank the city administration for holding an open forum on Wednesday night. I appreciate the city administration, council members, department heads, city employees, and citizens who attended and provided information. All contributed their time and talents. I feel exchanges of this sort are never easy, but always important. We all benefit when there is more communication and dialogue on any issue, because talking to each other about important issues leads to a real chance for learning and understanding.
Last week, we were able to win a small, but important victory for the 20,000 families of Delphi salaried retirees who lost up to 70 percent of their pensions because of the actions of the Obama Administration. I was able to secure an amendment in the Finance Committee that will extend the Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC), legislation that will help Delphi retirees attain affordable healthcare. Often the HCTC serves as an important bridge for older Americans who lost their pensions until they become eligible for Medicare benefits, covering 72.5 percent of their premiums. But on January 1, 2014, that tax credit expired.
Extending this credit is the least we can do for these families who lost everything as a result of the auto bailout. In the summer of 2009, as the government took GM into bankruptcy, the Obama Administration terminated the pension plans covering thousands of Delphi workers.

Have you ever attached a scent to an experience? I tend to relate smells to certain experiences in my life. Every time I smell a Pulmeria I can't help but smile as I get transported to one of our favorite places to visit, Hawaii. I cant help but feel the warm sun on my skin and the sand in between my toes. I see my children running and playing in the sand and splashing in the waves
The ability to transport myself at the scent of a Pulmeria can come in handy, especially during stressful times. The start of the school year can be exhausting as we all get use to new routines and procedures. Soon enough everything will be normal again, but for now I hold on to my Pulmeria and the wonderful joy it brings me. I hope you all have a happy smell, if not I suggest you get one. It makes going through life a little easier. What's your happy smell?
Life, Love, and Happily Ever After,

Neighbors in Rockledge are raising concerns about a local church's proposed plan to provide temporary short-term housing for the homeless as well as establish a resource center.
"I was very concerned about my safety and my daughters and my family so I wanted to talk to the neighbors and I realized that none of them knew," said Trish Tippins who lives near the proposed sight.
Tippins has already collected more than 300 signatures fighting against zoning for the proposed program which she and other neighbors feel will compromise their quiet community.
"We have a beautiful quiet neighborhood and since they've started the community garden we've had problem with vagrants, also people looking for the food pantry that they offer and coming in and out of our private property" Tippins said.
Grace Fellowship Church in Rockledge is one of 13 churches partnering with Family Promise of Brevard County Inc. -- establishing a family resource center for homeless families right next to the church on Murrell Road as well as home where they would stay for one week every three months.
" These homes that we're going to be using, they will not be homeless shelters, this will be a really strict program, for families to get into the program, there's a pretty strict vetting process so once they get in they'll be monitored closely," said Pastor Mike Bynum.
Bynum says no more than 14 people would be living in the home for that one week each quarter then they would rotate to a different church, and the family resource center would only be open during normal business hours.
"We'll have people at our church, staying with these people, the entire time they're on our property so we know how important it is to maintain the integrity of the neighborhood, of the safe community that we have," Bynum said
The program is set to start this coming summer, but first needs final approval from Rockledge city council members.

CATEGORIES Action, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Disney, DIY/Filmmaking, Movie Marketing, Games and Game Movies, Movies, CinematicalSince way back in 1897, Morocco has been a popular location for movies looking for a little 'exoticism' in their backdrops. Variety reports that the next big-budget Hollywood flick to land there will be the big-screen version of The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Director Mike Newell signed on back in November, and will be shooting from a Jeffrey Nachmanoff (The Day After Tomorrow) script starting early this June. Persia is based on the best-selling franchise from Ubisoft about a royal son with the power to control time -- with the added bonus that he is responsible for unleashing the mother of all curses on his kingdom.
Back in December, producer Jerry Bruckheimer had confirmed that a script was in the works. Other than some info that they would be using plot elements from the game Sands of Time, nothing had been finalized. In fact, there are still a lot of question marks hanging over the film, including who was going to be donning the hero's puffy pants. Earlier this month, there was a quick glimpse of concept art, but let's just say you aren't going to learn much about the flick by looking at a few title cards. Bruckheimer and Disney are eyeing a summer release in 2009 so they are going to have to get to work if they want to meet the deadline. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is tentatively scheduled for release on June 16th, 2009.

---- — PLATTSBURGH — The Wildlife Services program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture will be distributing an oral rabies bait to vaccinate raccoons and help stop the further spread of rabies.
The baits come in a teal-green blister pack about 1 inch by 2 inches, embedded in a bait material consisting of vegetable fat, sugar, artificial flavors and a dark green dye.
The baits, which can be distributed by airplane, helicopter or car, will be dropped starting Wednesday and continuing through Aug. 24 in northern Essex County along Lake Champlain and in Clinton County along the full Lake Champlain border.
If people find baits, they should leave them alone, unless they are where children or pets play.
To move vaccination baits safely:
Wear gloves or use a paper towel or plastic bag when picking up the baits.
Toss intact baits into a wooded area or other raccoon habitat.
Bag and dispose of any damaged baits in the trash.
Should contact with bait occur, immediately rinse the affected area with warm water and soap and call the 800 number on the bait package or your local health department: Essex County Public Health at 873-3500 or Clinton County Health Department at 565-4870.
If a pet eats a vaccination bait, don't panic. It is not harmful for pets, though eating a large number of baits may cause an upset stomach.
Do not risk being bitten or being exposed to the vaccine by taking bait away from your pet, officials advise. Check the area where the bait was found and move any remaining baits to a wooded area.
All residents are reminded to avoid contact with stray or wild animals and unknown cats and dogs.
Rabies is a virus that affects the central nervous system in mammals and is always fatal if left untreated.
It is almost always transmitted through saliva, when an infected animal bites an animal or person. Wildlife accounts for more than 90 percent of all reported rabies cases each year in the United States. Raccoons, bats and skunks are responsible for most reported cases, but foxes, coyotes and other smaller mammals may also transmit the disease.
Always notify your doctor or public health department if you are bitten by a pet or wild animal. It is essential for people to make sure their pets are up to date with their rabies vaccinations.
Visit www,co.essex.ny/PublicHealth or www.clintonhealth.org for more information on rabies.
If you have questions about baits or the National Rabies Management Program, call Wildlife Services at (866) 4-USD-WS or (866) 487-3297 or check the website www.aphis.usda.gov/ws/rabies.

EAST PEORIA, Ill -- Are you ready for some football?
Thousands of Americans have been waiting since February for Wednesday night's NFL opener between the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants. Local sports bars are ready to cash in on that fever.
David McKenny says he usually comes to Buffalo Wild Wings in East Peoria to watch his favorite team with his dad and his uncle. Wednesday started another season of that tradition.
"It's the first game of the season and why not start off with America's team to watch first," said McKenny.
He said they try to get there early to get a table, especially if the Bears or Packers are playing. General Manager Andrew Williams said that's just the way he likes it.
"We up the staff, we up all the orders, we try to make sure all the a/v systems ready to go," said Williams.
Williams said business usually more than doubles on a game day.
He says a lot of sports bars offer the same type of atmosphere so this year they are going to up their game on Sundays.
"We're going to do a little half-time show at the noon game. The East Peoria raiderettes and cheerleaders are going to come in here, we're going to have a little half-time prep rally. Do a little dance and give out some prizes and stuff," he said.
Williams said it's all in an effort to stay competitive against other sports bars and make sure everyone is winner on game day.

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal responded to the Contact 9 report WAFB brought you Thursday on a utility company that filed for bankruptcy and stiffed homeowners in Assumption Parish.
Residents say they've spent the last several months mopping and repairing their homes after raw sewage kept backing up in their toilets and bathrooms.
They blame Density Utilities, the company that until recently services their neighborhood lift stations.
Density went under in March. The parish has been pressing the state to step in.
Friday, Governor Jindal told 9News his Executive Council has discussed with parish leaders grant money that is readily available to provide relief.
"They talked with the folks who are involved with the bankruptcy and they absolutely guaranteed that a bigger pump is on the way. It is my understanding but again I don't want to get ahead of the bankruptcy court but this company is in the process of being sold and could be sold to a larger company that has the resources to maintain their assets properly," said Jindal.
Assumption Parish President Marty Triche confirmed that the Governor's office contacted him Friday.
Triche adds he is taking the proper steps to secure the funding necessary to temporarily repair the infrastructure.

QB Matt Schaub will miss the rest of the 2011 season with a Lisfranc injury, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. That's basically a fracture of the foot.
Texans head coach Gary Kubiak said on Monday that Schaub had a significant injury and he would miss some time. At that time he also ruled Schaub out for Week 12 but, according to the latest report, he's now out for the season.
This is a horrible blow to the Texans who look like they're en route to the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. Matt Leinart will play in place of Schaub moving forward but you can't understate how big of a blow this is to the Texans.
The slightest of silver linings in all of this is that the Texans are coming up on the bye so they'll have two weeks to prepare Leinart to play the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12.
Schaub is having a terrific season completing 61 percent of his passes for nearly 2,500 yards with 15 touchdowns to just six interceptions.
Check out SB Nation's Battle Red Blog where there's already several hundred comments dissecting the Texans next move at quarterback.

South west MEP apologises for 'wholly offensive' tweet
12:30pm Friday 18th January 2013 in News By Mid Devon Star Reporter
THE LIB Dem MEP representing south west England has been reprimanded by his own party for responding to David Cameron's decision to postpone a speech by tweeting that it amounted to a victory for terrorist group Al Qaeda.
David Cameron had been expected to set out his vision for the UK's future role in the EU today, Friday, but postponed due to the hostage crisis in Algeria.
Sir Graham Watson, who represents the south west and Gibraltar in the European Parliament, responded by tweeting "Al Qaeda 1, @David_Cameron 0."
He later removed the tweet and apologised.
A Lib Dem party spokesman said the tweet was "wholly inappropriate and offensive".

Based on the widely popular blog that started as a side project in a basement, Retronaut reveals strange yet enlightening photographs from the past that somehow seem to depict another version of now. Martha Stewart as a fashion model, Kim Jong II in a bumper car, and Ronald Reagan modeling for a sculpture classthis quirky page-turner enriched with author Chris Wild's unique wit and oddball knowledge is a must-have for collectors of the unusual.
Wild, a former museum archivist, has revolutionized the way we think of dusty photos, turning them into a sensation that has taken the Internet by surprise. He has selected over 300 of the best photographs from the site's most visited eras and themes, mashing up Victoriana with vintage advertising from the '60s and '70s and unearthing rare snapshots of evil dictators taking vacations. Page by page, this unconventional, thought-provoking photographic time machine will change what you think you know about history.
Chris Wild, a former museum curator is a blogger and creator of Retronaut, a 'time machine' that allows people to access millions of pieces of historical content including videos, pictures, music and text from public and private archives. It is a passport into history where people can pick their own entry point (be it people, places or objects) and take a fascinating, inter-connected journey back in time.

Reviews for Fancy Sugar Cookie Bars
Sort By :
These tasted wonderful! I did have a problem keeping the topping on like the previous reviewer, but will try the suggestion when making them again. Definately an easy, tasty treat!!
These were the easiest cookies to make, and they were a big hit. My husband was upset that I took them to school and didn't save some for him. I used a packaged sugar cookie mix instead of refrigerated cookie dough. I didn't measure any of the toppings and I added butter scotch chips. I would love to make these again.
The sugar cookie and chocolate chunks are the best part
Simple and good!
The topping of chips, coconut and nuts fall off the cookie! I would strongly suggest melting chips only on crust first and spreading them like a frosting and then sprinkling the coconut, nuts and some chips on after. This way the melted chocolate holds the topping on. I also drizzled some melted chocolate chips over the bars for some extra hold!

This course is conducted in the framework of the Non-Binding Guidelines and Minimum Standards project for CBRN first responders - a package of tools to help national authorities in planning and responding to CBRN incidents.
During the training, participants learn to implement the curriculum at national level, to improve national civil emergency plans and to enhance civil-military cooperation during incidents. They also learn how to enhance interoperability among first responders in international response to disasters.
In parallel, a seminar for directors wishing to establish regional training centres in the CBRN field is organized. The concept seeks to multiply the possibilities for similar train the trainers courses on a regional basis, and is offered to Allies and Partners for implementation through existing training centre networks.
The Kuopio course and seminar bring together over thirty participants from NATO Allies and Partners, including from Mediterranean Dialogue and Istanbul Cooperation Initiative countries.

Princeton Forum on Youth MinistrySt. Simons Island, GAJanuary 28-31, 2013
Extended seminars are three-day courses, 75 minutes each day.Participants should select one extended seminar.
A. Doxology and Discipleship Fred Edie
What can Christian worship teach us about forming life-long disciples? How may its patterns and contents shape character, imagination, and agency in the young? How may it assist in transforming fear and failure into faithfulness? This seminar invites you to wrestle with enduring issues of discipling from the unusual perspective of "the peoples' work."
C. Sagacious Disciples Stephen Rankin
In this course we will dig into the often unrecognized theological assumptions that permeate popular culture. For example – many people talk about needing and having a purpose in life. That vision serves as a functional "eschatology." This functional theology works in hidden ways inside the church as well as "out there" in popular culture. Christian ministers, in these days especially, need to think like missionary anthropologists, with a keen understanding of both culture and theology. When we start to see the embedded and active theological beliefs that really do operate in people's lives, we can more effectively imagine how to engage people with the Gospel.

10:00am Friday 21st February 2014 in News
THIS is what it feels like when your TV looks back at you.
These young thespians are putting on a play about kids who go on an adventure inside their television.
The musical, Hoppers, has been written by David Shorten of Sunningwell, near Abingdon, for children in his village.
Flo Hadfield, seven, who plays OobiDoobi, said: "It is a really funny play with lots of songs and will make you laugh your head off."
The story follows four children who get sucked into their TV and have to fight their way through documentaries, dramas and quiz shows to get out again.
Libby Hadfield, 10, said: "It's fun and I worked really hard."
Matthew Arnold School pupil, Alex Jacobs, 12, said: "The play is amazingly cool."
Mr Shorten, is a carpenter by trade.
Music was co-written by Oxfordshire resident Rob Earl.
The play, at Sunningwell Villahe Hall, will be performed at 2.30pm and 7.30pm tomorrow and 2.30pm on Sunday.
Tickets are priced from £5.

Qt for S60 Tower,
there are three fresh modules: Phonon, QtSql and QtWebkit, new softkeys and input methods APIs, as well as a brand new installer.
Phonon on S60 is building and applications that are built against it will run, but there is currently no functional Phonon backend on S60...
Check this below sites:
Best regards,
Hi all !
I use Qt-phonon wrote a small example to play mp3 on Symbian. It works fine when loaded mp3 files from local, but with Url, it does not work ( On Windows it's work file when play from the url ).
Can someone tell me Phonon on Symbian support play mp3 from Url or not. If not, is there another way to play mp3 from Url.
Thanks !!
I have exactly the same problem as Zombiesime, any help?
Success is when you realize obstacles you face are challenges to help you become better - and your response equals the challenge.
I use Phonon with success for Symbian^3, Anna and Belle targets, but only for local files, not remotely located ones. Don't know if it works or not.
Maybe for you it's better to use QMediaPlayer instead.

Exciting things are happening in the downtown corridor.
You may have noticed the new developments at the soon-to-be second location of Heritage Distilling at 3118 Harborview Drive. Also, Bella Kitchen has opened a second shop at the beautiful, newly-renovated building at 3311 Harborview Drive. Even more exciting is the new life that will come to Skansie House at the end of this month.
Harbor WildWatch has announced the relocation of its office and display materials to the historic Skansie Brother's House at 3207 Harborview Drive, adjacent to the beautiful Skansie Park and Jerisich Dock properties. In a partnership with the City of Gig Harbor, Harbor WildWatch will open the Skansie Visitor Information Center — a dynamic destination for residents, visitors and boaters to learn about everything Gig Harbor has to offer.
The Skansie Visitor Information Center will provide residents and visitors with information on shops, dining, services and lodging offered in Gig Harbor, as well as highlight the marine life that makes Gig Harbor living special.
In its proposal to the City Council, Harbor WildWatch explained that "the most effective way to bring both prominence and vitality to the visitor's experience is to establish an interactive center that accentuates the maritime community. This addition to the Gig Harbor Downtown Waterfront District will complement the existing cultural opportunities in the Harbor History Museum and Gig Harbor BoatShop, and attract even more residents, shoppers and visitors to the downtown
The Skansie Visitor Information Center will open Wednesday, July 30, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
A ribbon cutting ceremony will be held on opening day at noon. During the summer months, operating hours will be Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Winter hours will go into effect Oct. 1 and run through April 30, with open hours Thursday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. In collaboration with the Gig Harbor Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center on Judson Street, the two visitor centers will provide tourists and residents with easy options to learn more about events and activities taking place in the greater Gig Harbor area.
One way to tie Uptown Gig Harbor visitors to the to the new Skansie House Visitor Information Center (or vice versa) is the Get Around Gig Harbor Trolley. You may have seen it buzzing down the streets by now. Hop on, it is easy and fun! Same as last year, you will be provided an auditory tour of Gig Harbor by a dapper driver along the 30-minute route. Make it a day and visit some new shops or restaurants
in the different districts it covers. Fifty cents per ride is all it takes (its free for children age five and younger, free for seniors and individuals with disabilities with valid Regional Reduced Fare Permit and ORCA cards may be used). Bring your four-legged friend along for the ride as well!
Also happening in and around Gig Harbor is this weekend's Wings & Wheels. It touches down at Gig Harbor's Narrows Airport on Sunday (July 6). The excellent, family-oriented event takes place from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. It's an aviation event with a car show — featuring biplane rides, amazing cars and aircraft, and the Smoke 'N' Thunder Jet Dragster making a 300 mph run down the runway. More details can be found at www.freedomfair.com/wings-wheels.html.
Our favorite events are also back: Thursday Night Out on the Waterfront is July 10 in downtown, then ride the Trolley to Uptown and catch their first Outdoor Concert! Cinema Gig Outdoor movies begin July 11, and Sounds at Skansie Tuesday night concerts are well underway, each week at Skansie Brothers Park. Learn
more and stay informed at www.gigharborguide.com.
See you at the concerts and movies!Karen Scott is the marketing directory for the city of Gig Harbor. She can be reached at gigharborguide.com or by calling 253-853-3554.

This is, by far, one of the best app reviews we've seen online - our own excluded, of course.
But this guy has got the perfect voice for reviewing and he's clearly an old hand at giving the online community just what we need. Even us cynics.
It's quite long, but well worth it.

Generator problems

Generator problems
The battery on our Farmall 100 regularly goes dead. Usually I jump start it and it runs OK. Recently, it stopped running after a a few minutes. I would jump it again, and it would run fine a few minutes and stop. Any ideas? The engine was recently overhauled, and I suspect that the generator is not charging properly -- the ammeter shows a discharge, although I don't know how reliable it is. Should I just go ahead and replace it, along with the regulator? The generator is probably the original. Or if not, it's at least 40 years old.
Re: Generator problems
First thing to do is polarize the generator. Ddo this with engine not running take a short piece of wire and momentarily jump from the bat term to the gen term of the regulator. Do NOt jump to the field. If that does not solve it try this trouble shooting chart.

Re: Generator problems
Thanks. I studied polarity yesterday, and that could well be the problem, since I disconnected the positive lead on the battery the last time I used the tractor. (Although I've done that before without this happening.)
I'm kind of leaning toward just replacing the generator & regulator and be done with it, since these parts are so old.
Very glad to have found this forum, as my mechanical knowledge is pretty limited.
Since the tractor ran fine after being jumped -- for a few minutes -- and the ammeter showed a discharge, I'm thinking the problem has to be the charging system. Does that seem right?
Re: Generator problems
yes it does.

Re: Generator problems
Your biggest problem right now is that the tractor will not run with a flat dead battery. Right now it's only running on the brief charge it's getting from the jump start.
Put the battery on the charger overnight, up to 24 hours even, and it will start and run like it should. Then you can tackle the generator/regulator problem.
Look up "JohnT generator troubleshooting procedure" on google. It's a simple, succinct process for figuring out exactly what's wrong, and what exactly needs replacing. Unless you have $$$ to burn, and want to waste it on the "parts shotgun" method of fixing the problem....
Re: Generator problems
The new generator & regulator seem to be working, but now I have a problem with the fan assembly, which I discovered after several hours of mowing. It seems to be wobbling on its shaft, and the metal around the generator pulley is beginning to shred. Did I maybe have the belt too tight? It looks as though I will need to replace it, although that sure is a tight space to have to work in.
I will attach a photo as soon as I figure out how.
Re: Generator problems
this is the fan assembly.
Re: Generator problems
Yep....looks like you're gonna have to get in there and replace it. Easiest when you take the front nose piece (grill housing) off, then remove the radiator. Take about 10 minutes to get to.
Re: Generator problems
Is there anything else I should be on the lookout for when I do this? It feels like I've started pulling on a thread that is going to keep on unraveling. And I am no mechanic.

LAS VEGAS -- Las Vegas kids got a chance to be inspired and empowered at a TEDxYouthDay event Downtown Saturday. Many speakers came together to promote innovation and creativity.
"I learned to program in 3 to 4 months, Java Script, and then we started to build the app," said 12-year-old Ethan Duggan. "We have a bunch of app's next. We have Shoezium, Thank-you-matic, Money Tracker, we also have Lazy Wife, and Lazy Kid. All sorts of stuff like that."
Duggan was at the event held in Theater7 speaking to kids his own age.
"I've been a teacher and you can tell a kid something and they're like ok whatever, said Ethan's mom Marni Klein, "But when another kid says 'hey I just did' this they are like wow."
Organizers say the event is a way to ignite new ideas and empower young leaders. They say it's a positive way of engaging children and creating a brighter future for Las Vegas.
"I think they are going to grow up into a really interesting collaborative environment. I grew up in Las Vegas. I went to school here," said Organizer Monera Mason. "So I think we are ripe at this moment and it's just a pivotal moment in our city's history."
Among the speakers was Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh. He says the possibilities are limitless for Las Vegas youth.
"With anyone, especially youth, don't self limit your world of possibilities," said Hsieh. "There's always ways to think bigger or think differently."
Ethan Duggan says he just wants to give fellow entrepreneurs some helpful tips.
"Don't do it all at once. Take little steps until you're confident you can take the big leap, and finish it.
There were TEDx events all around the world Saturday. Organizers say this was the first Downtown, and they'll definitely be doing it again.

At 267 meters, the Lotte Center Hanoi will be the tallest building in Vietnam upon completion, serving as a modern vision of what the city of Hanoi hopes to become. Thornton Tomasetti was retained by the owner to provide structural peer review and value engineering consulting services for the 253,395-gross-square-meter, mixed-use tower. The 65-story tower accommodates office, retail, residential and a five-star hotel above grade, and parking and mechanical spaces on five below grade levels.
A challenging aspect of the project was to find the optimal structural solutions for a floor framing system and a lateral load resisting system. Thornton Tomasetti conducted a comprehensive study to determine which system would best improve the project's constructability, provide construction cost savings and meet the client's project requirements.
Through close collaboration with all team members, including the architect and wind tunnel testing consultant, the design team selected flat-slab perimeter spandrel beams and a concrete wall with exterior columns linked by four pairs of tall steel outriggers at the mechanical floors. In addition, two perimeter belt walls were eliminated to achieve significant construction cost savings.

This review is based on my limited experience trying…
Source: tried it in the store
This review is based on my limited experience trying them on in the store. They are a comfortable boot, but they have one major downfall: they are loud.
- Comfortable
- Waterproof
- Flexible
- Noisy
I have only tried these shoes on in the store and I'll be honest in saying that I don't have a ton of experience with them. I am writing this review, because I am surprised to find not a single review of them online.
I realize that Asolo boots have great reviews overall and these boots were definitely a league above all the other boots I tried on at the outdoor store. They fit great, breathe well, waterproof, provide support and yet they are flexible.
Their one downfall: they make a crinkly noise. Weird, right? Something about the mesh upper that sort of sounds like a plastic bag or a diaper swishing around. I would have bought these if it weren't for the noise. The last thing I want to do is hike way out into the backcountry to get some peace and quite just to hear the sound of my own crinkly shoes.

The topic of this edition of Ask Dr. Joy is a touchy subject with some people, giving and accepting advice.
This is something we deal with day to day, and some of us are better at it than others.
What do we know about advice in general?
• Giving advice when not solicited can be tricky and a hot spot.
• Being the receiver of advice that is unsolicited can make us defensive and it feels invasive and annoying.
• Offering advice without solicitation can feel like wasted energy and feel like the receiver is ungrateful for your caring and suggestions.
So what do we know about advice as it relates to gender?
• It is more important that the person asking for advice is receptive than the person giving the advice.
• Men have difficulty when they ask from advice from their spouse and they get little back because men typically look to their wives for a source of encouragement, while women rely on friends and other loved ones.
• When wives offer guidance (vs just listening) men tend to feel nagged or reprimanded.
• When wives ask for advice they tend to get fix-it suggestions and less compassion and empathy.
What if you don't want advice, how should we respond?
• Respond with thank you. Acknowledge the act, but respond by saying,"I'm not looking for advice at this time."
• Explain what might be helpful to you at this time. Do you need a hug? Some chicken soup? Brainstorming?
What are some tips to giving advice?
• Wanted: Make sure your spouse really wants advice and help. Start a conversation with something like "Would you like some ideas on that?"
• Listen: Good advice can come from listening and not speaking. Sometimes someone just wants you to be there, be supportive, hold you, or be reassuring vs. solution.
• Examples: Sometimes telling a story of when you had a similar situation helps the receiver see things in a different light. Stories tend to take away the criticism and the feel of being threatened.
• Tone: Remember that advice is always heard much better when it comes from someone who is calm, looking into your eyes, and their tone is low and from a loving perspective. The way in which you offer advice can be more important than your words.

As seen from this Fanpost earlier today, retired Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) champion Chuck Liddell once choked pornstar Asa Akira unconscious while taping an episode of Bubba the Love Sponge's show years ago. The fetching lass says she quite enjoyed it, and as the lady herself said: "He did a really good job let me tell you."
Chuck Liddell may have been the face of the UFC and helped bring the promotion closer to the mainstream, but his rival Tito Ortiz may have been as big of a reason ... perhaps even bigger. Read all the reasons why at MMA Nation.
UFC Vice President of Business Development and Hall-of-Famer Chuck Liddell sports a green mohawk (pic), presumably in support of the Green Bay Packers as they attempt to win their fourth Super Bowl against the Pittsburgh Steelers tonight (Feb. 6). Suddenly "The Iceman" is an even more fitting nickname.
UFC stars Chuck Liddell, Dominick Cruz, Brian Stann, Frankie Edgar, Jim Miller and Matt Serra (via Twitter) spent some time with troops down in Fort Hood, Texas in advance of Fight Night 23 tomorrow night (Jan. 22) to help raise money for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. You can donate to the cause by clicking here. Remember tomorrow night MMAMania.com will have complete comprehensive results and live fight coverage of all the main card action for "Fight for the Troops 2" as well as provide all the latest fallout once the event is in the books.

A majority of consumer and small business Windows 8 PC users launch fewer than one "Metro" app a day, signaling that they're spending most of their time on the classic Windows 7-style Desktop, according to data released this week.
According to Soluto, an Israeli PC management service provider, just 39 percent of owners of desktop PCs powered by Windows 8 launch a Metro app more than once a day. Laptop users fire up a Metro app slightly more often, with 40 percent opening an average of more than one app daily. Even touch-enabled notebooks infrequently access Metro: 42 percent of the owners of those devices launch more than one app a day.
[ Discover what's new in business applications with InfoWorld's Technology: Applications newsletter. | Get the latest insight on the tech news that matters from InfoWorld's Tech Watch blog. ]
Only tablets tilt toward app use, said Soluto. About 56 percent of Windows 8 tablet users open an average of one or more apps daily.
Soluto calculated the app launch rates using a pool of about 10,800 Windows 8 devices -- PC desktops and notebooks, touch-ready laptops, and tablets -- that use its management service. Soluto pitches that service to consumers, small and medium businesses, and IT managers in larger companies, but the polled systems were predominantly consumer-owned and in small businesses, said Roee Adler, Soluto's chief product officer, in an interview.
The 10,800 PCs "do not include any enterprise systems, but very significant amounts of consumer and small business PCs," said Adler.
The numbers for traditional PCs, especially touch-enabled notebooks, must give Microsoft's Windows executives heartburn: They have repeatedly pinned hopes for a boost to PC sales on touch, blamed the paucity of touch laptops for the sluggish launch of the OS last year, and pointed to later this year -- when more touchscreen PCs will be available, and at lower prices -- as reason for optimism.
On average, a Windows 8 user launches 1.5 apps each day, for a week's total of 10.5 apps, said Soluto. Not surprising, tablet owners open an above-average number: 2.7 apps daily or about 19 apps each week. And just as expected, desktop, laptop and touch-laptop owners launch fewer apps on average. Those with desktop Windows 8 PCs open an average of 1.4 apps each day (9.9 apps each week), people with non-touch notebooks launch 1.5 apps daily (10.5 apps weekly), and owners of touch-enabled laptops open 2.2 apps each day (15.5 apps over seven days).
"The basic behavior is to just jump to the desktop," said Adler. "People don't find Metro intuitive." That's been the dig against Windows 8 from the start. Even before Microsoft officially released the upgrade last October, critics slammed Windows 8's radical move to a touch-first interface. PC shipments have contracted for four straight quarters, most recently by a historic 14 percent in the first quarter of 2013, and some have blamed Windows 8 for contributing to that decline.
Soluto's data doesn't measure actual app usage -- as in, for instance, the percentage of time during the day that the user works with a Metro app -- but only the number of times it's launched. Windows 8 users can, of course, open an app once, then leave that app open throughout the day, returning to it several times to, for example, check email.

AMARILLO - Amarillo College and hundreds of other schools across the nation are urging high school dropouts to get their GED sooner rather than later because of coming changes to the GED exam.
More than 500 high school drop-outs have gone through the Amarillo College GED program in the past seven years, but Census statistics show that 18 percent of Amarillo residents are still without a high school diploma or the equivalent.
"If you've never attempted the GED. This is a great year to go ahead and try and get it you think you're ready," Instructor and advisor for Amarillo College's Community Link program Danette Fenstermaker said.
Come 2014, the exam will be more expensive and more challenging. More short answer, essay, and fill-in-the blank questions will cover a wider array of topics.
Fenstermaker says taking the exam before the end of the year is especially important for those who've already passed parts of the test.
"You need to finish it by December of this year. Because if you haven't finished it by December of this year, you'll have to start all over," Fenstermaker said.
Amarillo College offers a free assessment test that gages whether you're ready to take the test, or which subjects you need to brush up on. They also offer prep courses, scholarships, and guidance for the future. Something Palo Duro High dropout Alex Cisneros says is well worth the time.
"To me it was very hard, I thought how am I going to go back and learn all of this whenever I don't even know how I made it 11th grade in the first place," Cisneros said.
Now Cisneros, the mother of three small children, is well on her way to getting her bachelor's degree in nursing. After finishing the GED program at Amarillo College, she's about to start at West Texas A&M.
"It's kind of intimidating, because you think that you're not going to be able to do it because of where you came from or your background or you're just hard on yourself," Cisneros said. "But I think it was great here. It did open a lot of doors for me here."
Amarillo College has seen students of all backgrounds, from the ages of 16 to 76, get their GED. Proving that anyone can do it, If they just set their mind to it.
