In Northern California, people find a great way to see the outdoors and enjoy the environment is on all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). For many, ATVs are a fun and enjoyable experience. However, accidents involving ATVs are very common and leave the victim severely injured. If you or a loved one is facing injuries that have been sustained in an ATV accident, speak with our knowledgeable lawyers at Aiken & Jacobsen in Sacramento, California.
Injured in an ATV Accident? | Aiken & Jacobsen Can Help
Call or Contact Us at 916-978-1997 for a Free Consultation
The number of people, especially children, injured and killed in ATV accidents is unsettling and unfortunately on the rise. Some ATV accidents occur because the driver was not properly trained to operate the vehicle. Others occur because of a product defect with the ATV or an unsafe design. ATV dealers and manufacturers sell bigger, more powerful, faster ATVs, as the toll of deaths and injuries continues to rise. Our firm handles all ATV accident situations and has experience suing large manufacturers if defective equipment is determined to be the ultimate cause of the accident.
If you have been injured or a family member has been killed in an ATV collision or rollover accident, you may be entitled to compensation for the losses you have suffered, including future medical expenses. With our investigative skills and the assistance of other experts, our firm works to put together a compelling case on your behalf. We have been providing clients in Sacramento, Fresno, Stockton and the surrounding areas with personal injury and ATV accident representation for over 10 years. Our experience helps us identify liability in ATV accident cases where a general practice lawyer might not see it. In addition to ATV accidents, we represent people who are injured on dirt bikes, four-wheelers and other types of recreational vehicles.

The Engineers' Council (E-council) is the umbrella organization for all of the undergraduate student organizations within the college of engineering. Working closely with the College of Engineering administration in Page Hall, one of our main objectives is to make the student experience as enjoyable and productive as possible, through the following:
- Planning, hosting, and executing big events for engineering students (E-Week, WBB, State of the College, volunteering for the Engineering Career Fair)
- Appropriating around $18,000 to engineering student organizations each year
- Working with the COE administration to uncover students' concerns and needs and to help see them addressed
- One student representative from each of the 12 engineering departments (Department Reps.)
- Four engineering student leaders on the Executive Board
- Student committee heads for the various E-council committees
- "Members at large" or members who have met the requirements to become voting members
- Additional members on their way to becoming members at large
- A "General Assembly" meeting is held once a month for all E-council members (where we discuss general E-council business)
- Committee meetings are held twice a month, and this is where most of the planning and work gets done.
- A "President's Round Table" meeting (PRT) is held once a semester, where the president or a representative from each engineering student organization gathers to discuss issues, inform other groups about events and opportunities, and to learn how to improve their organization within the College of Engineering

Treatment options for endometrial cancer by stage
Endometrial cancer is often diagnosed when a woman who is having symptoms has an endometrial biopsy or D&C. Tests, such as ultrasound and CT scan, may be done to look for signs that the cancer has spread to lymph nodes or tissues outside of the uterus. Even when these tests show no signs of cancer spread, surgery is needed to fully stage the cancer. This operation includes removing the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries (total hysterectomy bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy -- TH/BSO). Lymph nodes from the pelvis and around the aorta are also removed (a pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection [LND] or sampling) and examined for cancer spread. Pelvic washings are obtained. If tests done before surgery show signs that the cancer has spread outside of the uterus, a different surgery may be planned.
Stage I
An endometrial cancer is stage I if the cancer is limited to the body of the uterus and has not spread to lymph nodes or distant sites. If the tumor is endometrioid, standard treatment includes surgery to remove and stage the cancer (see above). The tissues removed at surgery are examined under a microscope in a lab to see how far the cancer has spread. This decides the stage of the cancer and what treatment is needed after surgery. Surgery and other treatment often differ for cancers that aren't endometrioid. These cancers are discussed separately in this section.
Treatment after complete staging for endometrioid cancers
In stage IA, the cancer has grown less than halfway into the myometrium. Many of these can be observed without further treatment after surgery. For high grade tumors, doctors are more likely to recommend radiation after surgery. Either vaginal brachytherapy (VB), pelvic radiation, or both can be used.
In stage IB, the cancer has grown more than halfway through the myometrium. After surgery the patient may be watched without further treatment or offered some form of radiation treatment. Either VB, pelvic radiation, or both can be used.
Treatment for high-grade cancers: These cancers, such as papillary serous carcinoma or clear cell carcinoma, are more likely to have spread outside of the uterus at the time of diagnosis. Patients with these types of tumors do not do as well as those with lower grade tumors. If the biopsy done before surgery showed a high-grade cancer, the surgery may be more extensive. In addition to the TH/BSO and the pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissections, the omentum is often removed. After surgery, both chemotherapy (chemo) and radiation therapy are often given to help keep the cancer from coming back. The chemo usually includes the drugs carboplatin and paclitaxel (Taxol) and less frequently cisplatin and doxorubicin (Adriamycin).
Uterine carcinosarcoma: Someone with a uterine carcinosarcoma often has the same type of surgery that is used for high-grade endometrial carcinoma. After surgery, radiation, chemo, or both may be used. The chemo often includes the drugs carboplatin and paclitaxel, ifosfamide (Ifex) with paclitaxel, or less often ifosfamide and cisplatin.
Patients not staged with surgery
As stated above, standard treatment for endometrial cancer includes surgery to remove and stage the cancer. In some cases, however, the doctor may treat based on the clinical stage (see the section "How is endometrial cancer staged?" for more details) and radiologic testing.
If the cancer seen on endometrial biopsy or D&C is grade 1 and it looks like the cancer is only in the uterus, the cancer is said to be clinical stage I, grade 1. Because few of these cancers have already spread, some doctors do not feel that full surgical staging is always needed. Often a TH/BSO will be done first. As soon as the uterus is removed, it will be examined to see how deep and far the cancer may have spread. If the cancer is only in the upper two thirds of the body of the uterus and hasn't grown more than halfway through the muscle layer of the uterus, the chance that the cancer has spread is very low. In these cases, the surgeon may not do a LND but instead may remove only a few lymph nodes or none at all. Some studies have shown that this may be as good as a full LND. If any of the lymph nodes contains cancer it means that the cancer is stage IIIC and further treatment is needed (treatment of stage IIIC is discussed later). If no lymph nodes were removed (or if there were no cancer cells in the nodes that were removed), treatment after surgery could include observation without further treatment or radiation.
Some younger women with early endometrial cancer may have the uterus removed without removing the ovaries. Although this does increase the chance that the cancer will come back, it doesn't make it more likely that you will die from your cancer. This may be something that you want to discuss with your doctor.
Women who cannot have surgery because of other medical problems or who are frail due to age are often treated with radiation alone.
In place of surgery to remove the uterus, progestin therapy is sometimes used to treat stage IA, grade 1 endometrial cancer in young women who still want to have children. Progestin treatment can cause the cancer to shrink or even go away for some time, giving the woman a chance to get pregnant. It can be given as a pill, injection, or as a progestin containing intrauterine device. This approach is experimental and can be risky if the patient isn't watched closely. In many cases, it does not work. Sometimes the cancer keeps growing. Sometimes the tumor gets smaller or goes away for a while, but then comes back again. Not having surgery right away may give the cancer time to spread outside the uterus. A second opinion from a gynecologic oncologist and pathologist (to confirm the grade of the cancer) before starting progestin therapy is important. Patients need to understand that this is not a standard treatment and may increase risk.
Doctors are more likely to remove some lymph nodes when the biopsy shows that the cancer is a higher grade (2 or 3). If the cancer has spread deeper than half the thickness of the wall of the uterus, then the pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes are usually sampled.
If the cancer comes back after surgery, it usually does so in the vagina. Many doctors recommend VB to prevent this from happening. Others recommend external beam radiation to the whole pelvic area. Certain features make it more likely that the cancer will come back after surgery, such as higher grade, spread to the lower third or outer half of the uterus, growth into lymph or blood vessels, larger tumor size, and patient age over 60.
Radiation therapy is often given to reduce the risk of cancer coming back in the vagina or pelvis for cancers with one or more of these features. In patients without these risk factors, the chance that the cancer will come back is small and radiation may not be given after surgery. Giving radiation right after surgery reduces the chance of the cancer growing back in the pelvis, but it does not help women live longer than if the radiation is only given when the cancer comes back. There may be less worry if the radiation is given right away, but fewer women will receive radiation (and experience its side effects) if they wait until the cancer returns.
Stage II
When a cancer is stage II, it has spread to the connective tissue of the cervix but still has not grown outside of the uterus. One treatment option is to have surgery first, possibly followed by radiation therapy. The surgery would include a radical hysterectomy (discussed in the "Surgery for endometrial cancer" section), bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO), and pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection (LND) or sampling. Radiation therapy, often including both vaginal brachytherapy and external pelvic radiation may be given after the patient has recovered from surgery. The other option is to give the radiation therapy first, followed by a simple hysterectomy, BSO, and possible LND or lymph node sampling.
The lymph nodes that have been removed are checked for cancer cells. If lymph nodes show cancer, then the cancer is not really a stage II - it is a stage IIIC.
In some cases, a woman with early stage endometrial cancer might be too frail or ill from other diseases to safely have surgery. These women are treated with radiation therapy alone.
For women with high-grade cancers, such as papillary serous carcinoma or clear cell carcinoma, the surgery may include omentectomy and peritoneal biopsies in addition to the TH/BSO, pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissections, and pelvic washings. After surgery, chemo, radiation therapy, or both may be given to help keep the cancer from coming back. The chemo usually includes the drugs carboplatin and paclitaxel or possibly cisplatin and doxorubicin.
Someone with a Stage II uterine carcinosarcoma often has the same type of surgery that is used for a high-grade cancer. After surgery, radiation, chemo, or both may be used. The chemo often includes paclitaxel and carboplatin but may instead include ifosfamide, along with paclitaxel or cisplatin.
Stage III
Stage III cancers have spread outside of the uterus.
If the surgeon thinks that all visible cancer can be removed, a hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) is done. Sometimes patients with stage III cancers require a radical hysterectomy. A pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection may also be done. Pelvic washings will be obtained and the omentum may be removed. Some doctors will try to remove any remaining cancer (debulking), but it isn't clear that this will help patients live longer.
If tests done before surgery reveal that the cancer has spread too far to be removed completely, radiation therapy may rarely be given before any surgery. The radiation may shrink the tumor enough to make surgery an option.
Stage IIIA: A cancer is considered stage IIIA when it has spread to the tissue covering the uterus (the serosa) or to other tissues in the pelvis like the fallopian tubes or the ovaries (the adnexa). For these cancers, treatment after surgery may include chemo, radiation, or a combination of both. Radiation is given to the pelvis or to both the abdomen and the pelvis. Sometimes vaginal brachytherapy is used as well.
Stage IIIB: In this stage, the cancer has spread to the vagina. After surgery, stage IIIB may be treated with chemo and/or radiation.
Stage IIIC: This includes cancers that have spread to the lymph nodes in the pelvis (stage IIIC1) and those that have spread to the lymph nodes around the aorta (stage IIIC2). Treatment includes surgery, followed by chemo and/or radiation.
For women with high-grade cancers, such as papillary serous carcinoma or clear cell carcinoma, the surgery may include omentectomy and peritoneal biopsies in addition to the TH/BSO, pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissections, and pelvic washings. After surgery, chemo, radiation therapy, or both may be given to help keep the cancer from coming back. The chemo usually includes the drugs carboplatin and paclitaxel or cisplatin and doxorubicin.
Women with stage III uterine carcinosarcoma often have the same type of surgery that is used for a high-grade cancer. After surgery, radiation, chemo, or both may be used. The chemo often includes the drug paclitaxel and carboplatin, but ifosfamide, along with paclitaxel or cisplatin may be used.
Stage IV
Stage IVA: These cancers have grown inside the bladder or bowel.
Stage IVB: These cancers have spread to lymph nodes outside of the pelvis or para-aortic area. This stage also includes cancers that have spread to the liver, lungs, omentum or other organs.
Some endometrial cancers are stage IV because they have spread to lymph nodes in the abdomen (and not just the pelvis and para-aortic area), but the cancers have not spread to any other areas. Women with this kind of cancer spread may have the best chance if all the cancer that is seen can be removed and biopsies of other areas in the abdomen do not show cancer cells.
However, in most cases of stage IV endometrial cancer, the cancer has spread too far for it all to be removed with surgery and a surgical cure is not possible. A hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy may still be done to prevent excessive bleeding. Radiation therapy may also be used for this reason. When the cancer has spread to other parts of the body, hormone therapy may be used. Drugs used for hormone therapy include progestins and tamoxifen. Aromatase inhibitors may also be useful and are being studied. High-grade cancers and those without detectable progesterone receptors are not likely to respond to hormone therapy.
Combinations of chemo drugs may help some women with advanced endometrial cancer for a time. The drugs used most often are paclitaxel, doxorubicin, and either carboplatin or cisplatin. These drugs are often used together in combination. Stage IV carcinosarcoma is often treated with similar chemo. Cisplatin, ifosfamide, and paclitaxel may also be combined. Women with stage IV endometrial cancer should consider taking part in clinical trials of chemotherapy or other new treatments.
Recurrent endometrial cancer
Cancer is called recurrent when it come backs after treatment. Recurrence can be local (in or near the same place it started) or distant (spread to organs such as the lungs or bone). Treatment depends on the amount and location of the cancer.
For local recurrences, such as in the pelvis, surgery (sometimes followed with radiation therapy may provide a cure. For women who have other medical conditions that make them unable to have surgery, radiation therapy alone or combined with hormone therapy is generally used.
For a distant recurrence, surgery and/or focused radiation therapy may also be used when the cancer is only in a few small spots (like in the lungs or bones). Women with more extensive recurrences (widespread cancer) are treated like those with stage IV endometrial cancer. Either hormone therapy or chemo is recommended. Low-grade cancers containing progesterone receptors are more likely to respond well to hormone therapy. Higher-grade cancers and those without detectable receptors are unlikely to shrink during hormone therapy but may respond to chemo. Clinical trials of new treatments are another option.

Ford Expedition Liftgate and Door Problems
eagledad Posts: 3The door handle on the rear hatch of my 98 Expedition is half-broken. I can turn the handle to the right and the rear window opens. Turn it to the left (to open door) and I get nothing. Hoping to take off inside door trim to access mechanism, but can't do it with door closed. Catch-22 I guess. :confuse:
jackb355 Posts: 1You can pop the trim off if you can open the glass. First remove the upper trim by prying it away from the overhead. It is fastened with standard trim mounting fittings. Next remove the lower trim from the inside door the same way. If the '98 is the same (and it probably is) as the '97, you probably have cables connecting the door handle and the latch releasing mechanisms for both the glass and the liftgate. The cables are enclosed in a sleeve which has anchor brackets on both ends. These brackets are made of hard plastic and have a limited life span (about 10 years) and break into multiple little pieces when they fail. Ford only sells a complete latch assembly (about $150) which includes the cables. I haven't found a source for the cables by themselves. If you have let me know.
eagledad Posts: 3Ended up at Rigsby's Auto Salvage in Zephyrhills last Saturday. Got a replacement panel in case I damaged the existing one removing it. Jose from Rigsby's assisted in the removal of the panel. No damage and he replaced the short (8") cable that turned out to be defective. Very helpful guy. I love happy endings.....Gary
mikelix Posts: 5Bought a new 2010 Expedition EL LTD in August 2010; the vehicle has had more than a reasonable number of quality problems that should have been caught in normal factory quality control checks. Pretty much after I got it home, I noticed the rear passenger door was hard to close and it did not line up with the adjacent door jamb of the body. The dealer was able to adjust it so it looks a bit better and closes more easily. The dealer also noticed the electric rear liftgate was making a grinding sound when the liftgate hit its latch when closing. I thought this was normal (perhaps some servo sound), and now that it is fixed, the liftgate makes a simple click sound, like closing a regular car door. If anyone is experiencing the same grinding noise, I would suggest getting it checked out.
big_tim1234 Posts: 1I HAVE A 2004 EXPIDITION EB. EVERYTIME I START MY CAR THE LIFTGATE GLASS POP OPEN.AND SOMETIMES WHEN I UNLOCK THE CAR THE LATCH WILL JUST UNLOCK RANDOMLY. I WAS GETTIN GROCERY OUT AND I THE GLASS UNLOCKED AND WHILE THE HEADLIGHTS STAY ON THE LOCK WOULD JUST KEEP UNLATCHING. IS MY LATCH JUST BROKEN? HAS ANYONE HAD THIS PROBLEM?
ngustin Posts: 1I have a 2007 Ford Expedition EL Limited SUV. It has close to 100,000 miles. Just recently my liftgate will open automatically when the car is turned off or in park. When I try to close the gate within the car, or with the remote it will not close, or will close partially and reopen, I can only keep the door closed if I lock all doors. The handle to manually open the door also does not allow you to open the door. I am trying to find out what kind of issue I am looking at. Has ford issued a recall for any rear liftgate issues? I am dreading the visit to the ford garage however, I am worried about driving my car. I love my Ford. However, I can't afford a major car expense. Can anyone give me an idea of what is wrong?
marc1970 Posts: 1I just started having the opposite problem. Its a 2007 expedition and the lift gate will start to open about 6 inches and then closes from remote, inside button and outside handle. When I manually open it and try to close it automatically it seems to try to open even more or does nothing. Any info would be great, Thanks
kbean45371 Posts: 1Typical reason for this is the cable has broken to the latch mechanism due to possible corrosion. Here is how to get to the main door unlatch cable.
1. Remove the interior plastic handle. (attached with two security screws under handle at center of panel)
2. Remove the two Phillips screws behind the window which holds the interior cover over the rear window wiper blade actuator motor. (plastic screws be gentle getting them out, also remove the plastic grommet they screw into).
3. Pry with two flathead screwdrivers to remove the lower interior trim from under the upper trim.
Caution: There is a plastic sheet between interior panel and door frame. Try not to put holes in this, it is to keep sound from the road reaching the interior cabin.
4. There is approximately 8 clips attached to the lower trim which holds the trim in place. Gently with your hand between the trim and interior door frame pry outward and pull the clips off the door frame. Once all clips are removed the panel can be pulled out.
cable cost: $35 approx. -

To make the information about Zagreb, even more accessible to many visitors of the Croatian capital, the Zagreb Tourist Board has officially opened the new Tourist Information Center (TIC) in the building of the main Zagreb Bus Station.
Along with the TIC at Ban Jelačić Square, then the TIC at the airport in Zagreb and the main railway station, this is the fourth facility of its kind, by which are covered all the town entrances and the most frequent points of our city. At 70m2, the visitors will get all the necessary information and for quality and professional service are responsible specially trained information officers. It should be noted, that this Tourist Information Centre is one of the first centers in Croatia that will have some promotional materials from the Croatian National Tourist Board. The TIC will not work only for four days in a year (Christmas, New Year, Easter and the Day of the Dead) and its regular working hours will be from Monday to Friday from 08:30 am to 08:30 pm and on weekends and public holidays from 10:00 am to 04:00 pm. The Zagreb Tourist Board is planning to open a seasonal Center "Zagreb Doors" at the Motel Plitvice.
As a reminder, the tourist arrivals and overnight stays are increased in Zagreb on a monthly basis. Thus, from January to November 2011, Zagreb was visited by 626,760 visitors, who have made 1,074,317 overnight stays, which compared to the same period last year represents 10% more tourist arrivals and 9% more overnight stays.
Tourist Information Centre was officially opened by the President of the Zagreb Tourist Board and the Mayor, Mr. Milan Bandić, director of the Zagreb Tourist Board, Ms Amelia Tomašević and Mr. Krešimir Rašan, director of the Service for visitors, who are all of them expressed their satisfaction for the completed work.

text: Dillon Francis' "Without You" has no doubt provided one of the brightest spots in 2013 for the Mad Decent master. The collaboration with Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs provided a lens for a different side of Dillon Francis. The indie dance hit was a breakup number with no obscene sampling or snarling hooks, just T.E.E.D.'s vocals as an extension of Dillon's heartbeat-paced twinkling dancefloor number. The musical equivalent of the innocence at a high school prom teeming with teen puppy love. Future Classic's Hayden James gives it a beat change up and remixes it with a tempo uptick and a boppin' bounce. Like floating on a bouncy cloud, Hayden's hazy psychedelia is a rush of dopamine. It's giggles, it's hopping, it's fun. The lyrics are still great, but the changed atmosphere is just the cake.

The quality is very good and the ear strap/pads are just perfectly placed to mount my bluetooth pads on!

Comment: I have tried a few different helmets and so far I must say this one is the most comfortable. I have a bad neck and find the weight of many helmets will hurt my neck after a day of riding. This helmet is so light weight that I am not in pain after a day's ride. Light weight but I feel my head is protected so I heartily recommend this helmet.
Christine Leazer
Comment: This is a very comfortable helmet. The price is right, and the color is perfect. I am actually thinking about painting my bike this color
John Morley
Bullhead City, Az.
Comment: I ordered this helmet in wine for my wife, and it looks great. She has had a hard time finding a helmet that fit, but the XS was just right. I have the same helmet in gloss black, and so far they have both been great!

Vickroy: They sure don't make appliances like they used to
BY DONNA VICKROY email@example.com Twitter: @dvickroy July 24, 2013 9:44PM
Old and antique washers are among the items scheduled to be sold at auction in August. | Donna Vickroy~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: August 26, 2013 4:15PM
It is a behemoth, weighing more than 20 pounds and standing nearly to my shoulders.
I remember feeling foolish the day I brought it home and told my husband it cost $300.
"For a vacuum?" he said, incredulous. That was 22 years ago. I was pregnant with my youngest daughter. My husband had started a new job, after being laid off for a few months. (Yes, companies closed back then, too.)
Needless to say, pennies were being pinched.
"The Montgomery Ward salesman promised it will last a lifetime," I said.
I know he didn't believe me, which is why every now and then, when one of us pulls the behemoth out of the closet, I remark on how well it's working, considering its age and all.
Our Electrolux upright has outlived two refrigerators, two sets of washers and dryers, two Toyota vehicles and three lawn mowers. And it still can suck up socks, draperies and probably the dog if we're not careful.
But now, at last, it is in need of some real attention. The original hose has fallen apart. I am not complaining, however, about dropping $25 on a new attachment kit. In fact, I'm grateful that the parts still are available.
Old appliances that still work fascinate us. I suppose that's because we're accustomed to cellphones barely lasting through the phone company contract and computers that are dated the minute you take them out of the box. A 22-year-old vacuum that is going strong is something to remark on, if not celebrate.
"Twenty-two years?" said Jim Jager, who owns Jim's Appliance Service in Orland Park and Manhattan. "That's older than almost everything these days."
Jager, 71, has been in the appliance repair business for 50 years. He remembers when half the calls were requests to fix ringer washers.
"Those machines could last forever. They'd need repairs every now and then, but they lasted," he said.
Unlike today, he said.
"Most of the calls I get these days are for appliances under 10 years old," Jager said. "Things don't last that long anymore. And I think that's a planned thing."
Thirty years ago, the average lifespan of a refrigerator was at least 20 years. Forty years ago, before self-defrosters were invented, the fridge could go 40 years. These days, most people who call are weighing the cost of repairs on their 10-year-old appliance against the cost of a new machine.
Newer appliances have electronic parts run by fragile circuit boards, with controls that break down more easily. In addition to making machines less durable, this development has made repair work more costly, Jager said.
"A lot of times appliances will be thrown out simply because a part and labor to install it are deemed too expensive," he said. It's not unusual to see a giant refrigerator kicked to the curb simply because a single part has failed, he said.
But every now and then, Jager comes across an oldie that it still going strong. He recently got a call from a customer with a 50-year-old fridge in need of its first repair.
Those moments are enough to make an appliance repair guy giddy.
Tracy King once chanced upon an old pink refrigerator.
"It had so much chrome, it looked like a '57 Chevy," said the owner of Appliance Repair by TMK in Lockport.
"It had to be from the '40s or '50s, and I wanted to buy and put it in my garage as a conversation piece, even though it wasn't working," he said. But the owner wasn't selling.
King said electronic parts, coupled with government-mandated efficiency requirements, contribute to the shortened lifespans.
"You have to wonder, do you really recoup money with increased efficiency standards? Sure, you may save on gas or electric but when warranties are only good for 30 days and repairs cost $400 to $600, you have to wonder," King said.
No one appreciated old appliances more than Tom Schmidt, a Bourbonnais resident who was general manager of C.E. Sundberg, an appliance parts distributor.
Schmidt collected all kinds of machines — ringer washers, wooden washers, old sewing machines, televisions and ice boxes — for more than 30 years. He also collected other people's collections, including an eyeglass collection that includes a pair from Dick Tracy.
Sadly, Schmidt passed away last month from cancer.
His widow, Brenda Schmidt, will put all of the items in her late husband's collections up for auction Aug. 10 and 11.
"I have to get rid of everything," she said.
That will be no small feat. Schmidt's collection is so big it is housed in three locations: her home in Bourbonnais and at C.E. Sundberg locations in Oak Forest and near Midway Airport.
"Tom always wanted to open a museum," Brenda said.
But now that he is gone, the collection must go, too, she said.
The auction begins at 10 a.m.
Aug. 10 at the Schmidt home, 5987 N. Route 50, Bourbonnais; and Day 2 starts at 10 a.m. Aug. 11 at River Valley Auction Centre, 880 S. McMullen Drive, Kankakee.

So, I have to run heroics, need loot luck and farm reputation. All defense I get without using dual wield is a maximum of 535 or so (including enchants, gems), and that sucks.
I stacked Hit and Expertise in masses to get both caps, to hit 99% of the time and not to be parried by bosses, and my mitigation is well.
I'm not a bad tank, I'm one of the less tanks on my realm who knows what he does.

Dec 12th 2008 1:56PM I love the changes, especially the new Rune with +Def (and NOT Def-Rating). I must dual wield to get capped in Def, and of course I have 295 Hit in raids, it definitly sucks when you solo with DPS gear, which is not capped. Im looking forward to tank with my 2h DPS Axe again, but >540 Def ;)

DOB: December 1, 1935
Background: Allen was born and raised in New York City. He spoke Yiddish as a child and attended Hebrew school for eight years. He wrote jokes, which agent David O. Alber sold to newspaper columnists, and by age seventeen Allen was already making more money than both his parents combined. After high school, he studied communication and film at NYU. He later taught for a time at the New School.
Filmography: By the time he was nineteen, he was writing for "The Ed Sullivan Show," "The Tonight Show," and specials for Sid Caesar. He also found success as a playwright, penning "Don't Drink the Water" in 1966 and "Play it Again, Sam" in 1969.
His first film as a director was "What's Up, Tiger Lily?" (1966), in which he took an existing Japanese spy film and redubbed it, completely altering the plot and tone. He next wrote, directed, and starred in "Take the Money and Run" 1969. A stringle of films in the early 1970s included "Bananas" (1971), "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask)" (1972), "Sleeper" (1973), and "Love and Death" (1975), and then came his major breakthrough film, "Annie Hall" (1977), which won Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director and is considered among the greatest American films. His next film, "Interiors" (1978), was a dark drama inspired by Ingmar Bergman, whom Allen credits as a major creative influence. Then came the black-and-white film "Manhattan" (1979).
Allen's 1980s films are also distinguished by their Bergman- and Fellini-inspired philosophical undertones, among them "September" (1987), "Radio Days" (1987), and "Another Woman" (1988). He also helmed "Stardust Memories" (1980), the mockumentary "Zelig" (1983), "Broadway Danny Rose" (1984), and "The Purple Rose of Cairo" (1985). In 1986 he directed another landmark film, "Hannah and Her Sisters," starring Mia Farrow, Dianne Wiest, and Barbara Hershey. In 1989 came "Crimes and Misdemeanors," a tragicomic film that earned Allen Oscar nominations for writing and directing.
He ventured into drama again in the 1990s with "Husbands and Wives" (1992), after which he directed lighter fare like "Manhattan Murder Mystery" (1993), the Oscar-winning "Bullets Over Broadway" (1994) and "Mighty Aphrodite" (1995), and the musical comedy "Everyone Says I Love You" (1996). Ther jazz-themed comedy "Sweet and Lowdown" (1999) earned Oscar bids for stars Sean Penn and Samantha Morton.
His films since 2000 have received largely mixed reviews, including "The Curse of the Jade Scorpion" (2001), "Hollywood Ending" (2002), and "Anything Else" (2003). But he achieved acclaim again in 2005 for the dark drama "Match Point," a UK-based drama that marked a departure from his typical New York setting. "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" (2008) won an Oscar for star Penelope Cruz, and after another pair of films with limited success, "Whatever Works" (2009) and "You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger" (2010), he received critical acclaim for "Midnight in Paris."

I got this from WDW News Today:
By the time October 1st rolls around, you may believe it's Epcot's 15th anniversary and the year is 1997. Not only has the giant Mickey wand that was erected in 1999 completely gone, but the floral pattern depicting the classic Epcot logo has also returned behind Spaceship Earth. The logo is indeed returning permanently, and the classic Epcot lettering may also be returning just as soon. All the pavillion logos will be returning in new forms eventually as well, just not anytime in 2007. It seems as though what we thought for months was classic Epcot logo merchandise, is actually quite current.

Minimal is simple, classic, and practical.I feel like the "minimal" style is very me! It's a little bit more toned down than other styles out there, but that's ok with me. When wearing this style I feel comfortableyet stylish, and don't all mamas want to feel that way?
A year ago I would not describe my style as minimal by any means, but as I've changed as a person so has my style. Becoming a mom as defintely contributed to this style change, but notice that I said style CHANGE. I still value preserving my love for style and fashion even after becoming a mom; but with my duties and responsibilities as a mom, I've had to make some adjustments.
As life changes you have to adjust. I want all of you ladies and mamas out there to know that you can make it work. You can rock the pieces you like! All you have to do is sit down, have a little conversation with yourself, and decide on what is doable!

These fixtures are about 35 years old. I like them because the covers are hinged. That means that you don�t have to unscrew anything to get to the light bulbs.
Can�t find them with a Google search. Anyone have any info about how to get of them? Thanks for your help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes, very common about 30 years ago. I just pitched the last of mine when the house was updated. Your best bet is to ask contractors doing rehabs and check goodwill for used ones. |
I have looked for these too. My grandmother had one in her kitchen and it was well over 50 years ago that I know of. I have seen a few on ebay but they always go for a lot. I think they must be scarce. |
Try Habitat fo Humanity Re-store. They always have a variety of old fixtures. If they don't have any, ask your neighbors. They might have them and want to get rid of them. |

Breakfast Topic: Revenge is a dish best served at the level cap {WoW}
Oct 21st 2010 3:50PM The Scarlet Courier and his entourage, in the Plaguelands - always there to gank you when you were running to Scholo/Stratholme alt-tabbed. Bastards.
Breakfast Topic: Has 4.0.1 brought you back to WoW? {WoW}
Oct 17th 2010 4:30PM I quit WoW about three months ago, and thought I was "cured", but the Cataclysm talent previews have got me interested again. I may be back when the game ships.. :)
Raid Rx: Importance of group assigned healing {WoW}
Jul 2nd 2009 12:06PM "Wild Growth: It's not exactly a party only spell, but it can do the job if the right conditions are met. Druids will probably need to couple with some direct heals. Like Chain Heal, it can also be glyphed to heal another target.
Tranquility: The red button in a Resto Druid's arsenal. It has the ability to bring a party from near death to live in a matter of seconds. The downside? It's on a 10 minute cooldown."
As many have said, Tree healing is proactive, not reactive. The first time we run into Frozen Blows, we'll lose half the raid in a few seconds. But the second time we start HoTing everyone up right after the Freeze and by timing Regrowth/Lifebloom/Swiftmends we can keep everyone up through it - HoTs are our AoE heal.
And because the rest of the article annoyed me, here's a nitpick: Tranquility is up every 4 minutes if you're specced for it.. :)
Choose my Adventure: I'm on a mount {WoW}
Jun 27th 2009 4:06AM There's all the pirate quests from Steamwheedle - I remember them being very good xp, and not so hard for a lock who can stop runners?
Also, you could stick around the Badlands and do your levelling in Uldaman! ^^
Breakfast Topic: Which role is the hardest? {WoW}
May 31st 2009 10:02AM DPS have to be aware of their kill targets (1+ frames).
Healers have to be aware of friendly targets (5 frames).
Tanks have to be aware of both friendly and kill targets (5+ frames).
I play a healer (druid), which I find challenging but not overwhelming - I sometimes get tunnelvision and forget to watch where I'm standing (Hodir I hate you!) but as a rule it just requires good reaction skills and a lot of experience - you often only have 0.1 second to decide what spell you need to cast YESTERDAY, and only experience will teach you to make that call successfully most of the time. You also have to keep an eye out for environmental stuff which is extra tricky as your focus tends to be on your raidframes and not in the middle of the screen where dps/tanks have their attention. Healers have the most *numeric* information to process of the three - who is missing health and how much, how fast is damage incoming, is anyone debuffed, how much mana do I have left, how much hpm does that spell do relative to this one, can I get away with a cheaper spell or do I need higher hps, etc..
My offspec is dps (tried both cat and now moonkin) and it's very, very easy by comparison - hardest thing is ignoring friendly healthbars and just focusing on killing stuff, and occasionally using a pot/oh-crap ability when you eff up. Being top dps requires a lot more concentration and preparation (gear/pots), but even if you can only achieve mediocre dps you will rarely wipe the raid - so there's not that much pressure on you. Being bad dps - I simply don't get how it's possible to be as bad as some people out there! O.o I mean, I can't figure out how to dps as a warrior, but that also means I don't go anywhere near an instance as arms/fury, and that won't change until I l2play. In any case, DPS have a lot of *visual* information to react to - getting top dps requires you to watch target buffs/debuffs, be quick to use your procs, and move early out of the fire, use kiting time efficiently.
I have also offtanked, and while it's enjoyable I find it requires a higher level of multitasking to do well, or at least as perfectly as my perfectionist self would approve of. You have to watch friendly targets' health and mana, be on top of tactics (if you don't know them, create them!), make decisions on group pace and CC needs (can the healer cope with me taking on the full group, or do we cc one? What cc do we have?), call breaks (or not), etc. OTing is easy, but MTing requires leadership skills. It is probably the more *strategic* of the three roles, and definitely the one I find most stressful.
Ready Check: I'm more hardcore than you {WoW}
May 31st 2009 8:06AM I still think WoW would gain from a built-in reputation system. Something simple, like being able to give a +/- to a player based on your experience with them, and only one vote per player per week (example).
Sure, you'd get abuse of it and e-bullying at the start, but that cuts both ways. It would encourage people to be more courteous. Being rude to someone who's behind you on progression may come back to bite you in a few weeks/months when said person, who's got good reviews from fellow PUGers, suddenly find themselves in competition for your spot. Similarly, people dissing raiders (happens a lot on a roleplaying server) might be a bit more cautious about exploding into a nerdrage when we can't reply to your whispers because we're busy having a wipenight on Yogg-Saron.
It would certainly do away with 90% of trolling on the forums, and that alone would be a good thing.
Ready Check: Cooldown Management {WoW}
May 29th 2009 5:39AM Awesome read, I especially enjoyed the first 3 paragraphs - I don't play a Ret and my main spec is healer, but your writing caught my attention. Now to read the rest of the article...
Night Elf Druid bear forms revealed {WoW}
May 28th 2009 7:02AM I play a tree, but I'm quite happy with these new forms - they are a big upgrade on the original. Also, it will be easier to spot at a glance who is feral-tank and who is feral-kitty, as people will tend to pick the skin/hair that suits their favourite form most. So really cool looking cats will most likely be feral, really cool looking bears will most likely be tanks - and the most wishy-washy of the new feral forms will likely be moonkin/trees as they prefer to pick what looks coolest in human-form.
Awaiting the new and improved cat forms!
Blizzard creative writing contest winners announced {WoW}
May 28th 2009 6:54AM Would love to read the winning stories - what's the point of a writing contest if you can't view/read the winners?
WoW Moviewatch: Holy Priest PvP! {WoW}
May 26th 2009 1:33PM Trying to PvP without a dedicated group as a healer is like trying to solo a heroic instance as a tank in green quest rewards. It just ain't happening.
I used to do BGs on my Holy priest, and after a few weeks of pain and suffering I got the gear needed to stay alive through 2-3 stuns. It became a lot of fun after that. Can't comment on the actual state of Holy priest BG-PvP now, but I know that even as a druid I get steamrolled if I go in without support (and by support I don't mean grab 2-3 dps'ers from your raidgroup and go, make sure they are bodyguarding you properly!).

Esp LOVE those glittered postcards, candy! You've given me another idea for the 'to-do' list! LOL! Lots of goodies on your 'little white tree' ...I esp like the use of the checkered B&W cloth below & the witch silhouette there. Very Halloweeny & uinique tree! TFS! Jeanne S. |

Karen, Thanks, it really pops IRL, but I can't figure out how to get it to photograph with the lights on. They just don't show up! Jeanne, Thanks, I really like them too! I would make more of those postcards, but it is hard to find vintage pictures like they have. They are from a store called "Cozy Cottage" that has the most wonderful EXPENSIVE items. I can only afford them when they are on clearance. It is a really fun store to look at all their decor as they really go all out and mix in a bunch of antiques with the merchandise, but they have some pretty high prices as well! It is a good source for inspiration! I only found the store by accident as I rarely go to the mall, but I was making a sales call on one of my accounts and this store was right across from my account. Now, I make it a point to drop by around the holidays to see what they have displayed and then go after to see what is on clearance! Thank you so much for the kind words. You make my day. Candy |

Utica Accelerated BSN August 2013
0Jul 2, '13 by leroy221Anyone else apply for this program? I just found out I got into the Utica Accelerated BSN August 2013 start date.
0Aug 15, '13 by leroy221Hey Jess - At the moment I have chosen a different school but here's what I was told:
The tentative schedule for your first semester will include 1 full day a week at our program site in Liverpool for clinical lab and classroom. Your first semester this will be on Tuesday
Then you will need to plan additional days to come onsite to practice your clinical skills in the skills lab. You will have exams onsite on Friday mornings at the Liverpool program site. Your exams won't begin until approximately your third week into the program. Your hospital clinical schedule will be assigned when you get started in the program.
Your second, third, and fourth semesters, you will spend two full days a week at hospital clinical locations and you will have one full day here on site for exams / clinical lab & classroom. -
0Jan 15, '14 by wanttoknowCan you please tell me why you did not choose this school.. I am also looking into Marian University which is in Indianapolis, I'm trying to decide if Utica College is a better choice since its close to home a better fit than Indianapolis. I'm trying to compare programs, comparing the money issue in terms of the loans the extra fees and housing.


text: We just had a soccer poll and since the only other sport going on during the summer that's worth a damn is baseball i wanted to know how many of you salty watermen and women are baseball fans and if you are who is your favorite. i'll start it off right by putting down the Orioles. I'm only putting East Coast teams so if you dont see yours...sorry.

California man sentenced to 108-Months imprisonment for federal cocaine trafficking conviction
This morning, United States District Judge Judith C. Herrera sentenced California resident Jorge Alberto Paez Mariscal, 43, to a 108-month term of imprisonment to be followed by a five-year term of supervised release based on his narcotics trafficking conviction. Paez Mariscal has been in custody since his arrest on February 14, 2009.
United States Attorney Kenneth J. Gonzales said that Paez Mariscal and a co-defendant were arrested at the New Mexico Motor Transportation Police Division's (NMMTPD) Gallup Port of Entry on Interstate 40 after NMMTPD officers found 69 packages containing an aggregate of 67 kilograms of cocaine in the tractor-trailer that Paez Mariscal was driving. Paez Mariscal and his co-defendant Alejandro Cruz, a Mexican national who was a passenger in the tractor trailer, were initially charged in a criminal complaint filed on February 17, 2009 and later were indicted in a two-count indictment charging them with a narcotics trafficking conspiracy and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute.
According to the criminal complaint, on the afternoon of February 14, 2009, a NMMTPD inspector conducted a routine paperwork inspection of a tractor trailer owned and driven by Paez Mariscal. After noting discrepancies in the paperwork regarding the two vehicles being hauled in the trailer and ascertaining that Paez Mariscal and Cruz could not provide information about the ownership of the two vehicles, the inspector turned the matter over to a NMMTPD officer. After the two men denied having any illegal narcotics in the tractor trailer, the officer requested and obtained their consent to search the tractor trailer. The search uncovered 69 bundles containing cocaine secreted in the cab of the truck. During a post-arrest interview, Paez Mariscal admitted that he was transporting the cocaine from Los Angeles, California to Lexington, Kentucky and expected to be paid $700 per kilogram of cocaine for this service.
Paez Mariscal entered a guilty plea to count two of the indictment, charging him with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, on October 13, 2010 under a plea agreement with the United States Attorney's Office. In his plea agreement, Paez Mariscal admitted that he agreed to transport the cocaine in exchange for payment because he was experiencing financial difficulties. He also said that his passenger, Cruz, was not aware of the presence of the cocaine in the tractor trailer until shortly before the two entered New Mexico.
On February 16, 2010, co-defendant Cruz entered a guilty plea to a one-count information charging him with misprison of a felony based on his failure to notify law enforcement authorities that Paez Mariscal was committing a felony by transporting narcotics. On April 29, 2010, Judge Herrera sentenced Cruz to twenty-four months imprisonment to be followed by a one-year term of supervised release.
The case was investigated by the NMMTPD and the Drug Enforcement Administration, and was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Elaine Y. Ramirez.

I had a power cut over night an now I have no sky+ features! I can still view TV but cannot rewind or pause TV. I get the error message "A sky+ error occurred press select to restart. Press back up to continue without sky+ functionality"
I did press select an it took forever to actually switch on again! Any suggestions?
Solved! Go to the solution
on 19-11-2010 10:40 PM
Have you tried rebooting your box ?
on 19-11-2010 11:02 PM
Rebooting? U mean unplugging an plug it in again? Yes!
on 20-11-2010 10:22 AM
Try a planner rebuild. If this doesnt work, try a forced download.
A planner rebuild is detailed here
and this is how to perform a forced download
1. turn power off at mains switch
2. press and hold backup button down on set top box
3. re-apply power, keeping the backkup button pressed
4. when all the lights on the set top box come on and you see a message on the tv to wait up to 10 minutes, release the backkup button
5. when the down load has completed, it will go in to standby.
6. wait 2-3 minutes and turn on.
on 21-11-2010 12:40 PM
I'm having the same problem even after trying your help. My Sky+ also stopped working and the re-boot only goes so far and wont re-boot the planner. The box takes forever to come on I have to press it on constantly. This happened last year and I got a new box but its the whole loosing all recorded items that really annoyed me then earlier this year I lost all recordings again so this is the third time and I dont know what to do now. Any help will be much appreciated.
on 21-11-2010 04:08 PM
Hi Fee81,
Have you tried the forced software download as described above ?
Can you tell me the make of your set top box ?
21-11-2010 11:03 PM - edited 21-11-2010 11:04 PM
Thanks for your reply, Where will I find the make/model of the box? I know its just the white standard Sky+ box if that helps, its driving me crazy. Yes I tried the software download but the box would not turn back on after it turned its self off. Will I have lost all recordings?
Thanks again,
on 21-11-2010 11:20 PM
Tried what you have suggested an still no planner!
Make is Thomson 132-168 Had it a while now!
Hope you can help as i don't want to lose my recording either.
22-11-2010 09:32 AM - edited 22-11-2010 09:33 AM
First, you should be able to see the make of the box on a label either on the back or on the bottom.
If it is a Thomson, and all the steps described in this and other posts, have not fixed the issue, then it sounds like the power suppy unit has gone faulty, which is common with thomson set top boxes.
If the box is out of warrenty, then you can fix it your self for about £15 £20 (if you know how to solder), or have some one fix it for you for about £30.
Unfortunately the capacators on the power supply are not a high standard and after a while, they stop working. which results in the issues you are experiancing and much more.
The recordings are likely to be ok, but if you have a warrenty or extended insurance and call sky, they are likely to swap the box out, which will result in you loosing your recordings.
on 22-11-2010 02:18 PM
Hi, If pressing select at the point of the warning message has not helped you can try power cycling the box by turning it off then on at the mains. It is however likely that if the recovery process triggered by pressing select does not help you either have a fault or something is wrong with the data on the drive. You may be able to fix it using a full system reset however at this point you have lost the recordings and Anytime content on the box.
To try a full system reset on a standard definition box press services 401 select. Ignore the screen until you have pressed select and you should find yourself in the installer setup menu. Press 8 for full system reset then read and confirm the on screen warning. The box should say housekeeping then switch off within a minute or two. Leave it for 90 seconds then try turning it on again.
If this does not work Contact Us to discuss a service call.
on 23-11-2010 08:55 AM
Had to get new Sky+ box, service man had to come out, not happy about loosing planner for 3rd time but never mind.
Thanks for all the help anyway guys. Fiona.
on 23-11-2010 05:29 PM
Thanks for your help, I had the exact same problem and I tried most things then I tried the forced download and this worked and all my saved programmes are all safe. Thanks again.
on 16-02-2011 05:11 PM
Hi!! Have been experiencing similar probs to all the other poor souls you've been helping out!
I've tried everything you've suggested but with no result! Just keep getting the "Sky+ functionality is not available at this time" message. Would like to try fixing it myself (well my hubby is quite capable of soldering!!) but will i need to buy a new part or will he be able to see what needs fixing when i tell him that's what he's gonna be doing tonight??!! I'd like to give him as much helpful info as i can!! ;0) Thanks for all your help so far, hope you can help a bit more.
The machine is a Thompson by the way but no warranty etc!!

There are known problems with these Thompson boxes, if you do a search on these forums you will find many other threads about them. I don't know if Sky are still do this but a little while back they were offering people with thse Thompson boxes a new 1TB box for £149 which is half it's normal price, it might be an option for you to have a new one.

That message may also be due to a faulty hard drive. On the face of it, I'd go with the PSU problem ( fixable ). If you have a Thomson Sky+ box ( not HD ), undo the screw at the back of the lid, take off the lid, and have a look for bulging/leaking capacitors on the PSU. Some pics of failed caps here . The link deals with a HD Thomson, but the PSU on both boxes is exactly the same.

Told through the eyes of three children, WAR/DANCE follows the courageous efforts of Patongo's students as they pour their hearts into winning this year's music competition. The war has stolen their homes, their parents, and their childhood. Patongo's refugee camp packs 60,000 people into its endless squalor. There is no electricity, no running water, and no safe place. Two years ago, the rebel Lords Resistance Army, dragged 29 students from Patongo's schoolhouse to "join" the army. The bullet holes in the school walls tell the stories the children would rather forget.
Despite the odds, the students endlessly practice their performances, driven by heart, talent, and the need to rebuild their lives. If their bus can safely make it through rebel territory, they'll take the stage and give it their all. Win or lose, these children will show what true heart can achieve.

Date 2010-09-03 Availability unrestricted Abstract This study's research approach shows the foundation of an epistemology that is taken from a postmodern, postfoundationalist theology. The research method is embedded in the narrative approach as established in social constructionism. The research method is also further upheld by the Seven Movements Model of doing research, which in this research also accommodates a participatory action research methodology.This research is a study of the narratives of lay people in a local context. It shows and explores the actions of these people in a situation of care and support. Their local context expresses the journey of people who belong to the same church called the Family Trinity Church in Valhalla, Pretoria.
Their backgrounds go back to areas like the Western Cape, Northern Cape and Eastern Cape and are not originally from Pretoria. Their social relationships and church affiliation are compiled from a military background. Their narratives that relate to this research originate from a journey of care and support.
The narratives of my co-researchers discovered and recognized different themes as divulged from their stories in conjunction with their experiences. Some of these themes were related to the literature studies as part of the dialogues between interdisciplinary conversations in the process of research. Apart from the telling and re-telling of the stories, literature studies were used to open up a process of a deeper understanding of these narratives. Literature was used to critically discuss the narratives as to give more clarity on the actions of the co-researchers.
This research shows an open process of discussions and the input of other thoughts of beliefs and reason as presented by the involvement of the scientific community. The in depth discussions helped to clarify the aim and objectives as proved by the outcomes of this research. The outcome of this research is based on the experiences and the real situation that demonstrates a contextual framework.
The narratives and the unique research outcomes clearly support the fact that ordinary laypeople can lead and manage a church without the leadership of a fulltime minister. It shows the important relationship of care and support that transpired in a deepened spirituality, which brought about healing and transformation. The uniqueness of this research is based on the eagerness of people who journeyed with one another in a group and who also directed this kindness to others who did not belong to this group.

Phoenix Observation Tower may still rise above downtown
PHOENIX -- All hope is not yet lost for the proposed Phoenix Observation Tower.
After plans to build the 420-foot pinwheeling tower next to the Arizona Science Center fell through, development firm Novawest LLC is in talks with a private landowner, the Phoenix Business Journal reported.
A Danish architectural firm designed the tower as an open-air pinwheel with observation decks, restaurant and stores and special event space. It has been touted as a tourist attraction akin to Seattle's Space Needle and Toronto's CN Tower.
The tower's promoters hoped to get it built in time for the Super Bowl in Glendale next year.
The Phoenix Observation Tower would stand approximately 39 stories tall, just one story short of Chase Tower, the tallest building in the city.
