Reel Sex: The Top 14 Most Romantic Movie Scenes: Part Two
Features By Gwen Reyes on February 9, 2012 | Comments (8)As we approach Valentine's Day (yes, it's just a few days away) I think it's only fitting that the topic of romance come into play in anticipation of the day meant to celebrate all things feelings. I'm not sure about you, but I have actually never celebrated Valentine's Day with a loved one not related to me. Instead I spend the day (or week) loading up on conversational hearts, Reese Peanut Butter cups, and a collection of melodramas so depressing I become skeptical that love can actually end in anything but death. Regardless of my tendency to eat my feelings while crying over the tragic love found in Douglas Sirk films, I do enjoy happy love stories and tend to pair the sadder movies with some of my must-have romances. In honor of the big V-Day, I'd like to share my favorite 14 romantic scenes and also open it up the floor to hear your suggestions as well. Here are my concluding seven romantic scenes to last week's first half of this list. Bring out the smelling salts; you might need them after all these swoons.

Professional accountants can and should play a leading role in helping their organizations achieve an integrated, organization-wide approach to risk management and internal control—which ultimately helps create, enhance, and protect stakeholder value.

Police Using YouTube To Tell Their Own Stories
Re:I'm okay with this (299 comments)
I understand the instinct to call for balance in these situations. However, when it comes to the government or government institutions, liberty is not a two way street. No one oppresses the government. Liberty is an individual matter. While I believe in and would defend a police officer's individual liberty, I do not believe that is the same thing as granting them equality as an agent of the state. My other concern here is that a law enforcement agency or officer would post video that may be used as evidence in a future legal proceeding. I am not a lawyer, but I find this to be an impropper use of potential evidence and possibly a violation of procedures or laws. Anyone with some knowledge of the law want to give their thoughts?

The DC Public Library has revealed preliminary design ideas developed by the three shortlisted architecture firms for the renovation of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library. The teams—Mecanoo/Martinez + Johnson Architecture, Patkau Architects/Ayers Saint Gross with Krueck +Sexton, and STUDIOS Architecture/The Freelon Group—submitted two versions of the project. One shows a stand-alone library, and the other a mixed-use building with additional floors.
The renderings will be on display at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library, in neighborhood libraries, and on the library's website. The firms also will present their design ideas at a public meeting on February 15.
In its proposal, Mecanoo/Martinez + Johnson Architecture focuses on transparency. This approach would involve removing the brick walls in the public realm to make library activities more visible. New spaces would include a "City Market" ground floor with an informal auditorium space, two large media screens, a bookstore/café, and a bar/restaurant.
The Patkau Architects/Ayers Saint Gross plan seeks to retain and restore historic elements of the Mies van de Rohe building while introducing new elements such as a three-story space called the Community Mixer; the Cloud, a technological form that filters daylight, broadcasts information, and generates energy; an outdoor roof terrace; and a café.
The concept from STUDIOS Architecture/The Freelon Group proposes an "interconnected, free-flowing space carried vertically throughout the building." Displays and new media will stream down from a floating volume known as the "cloud," capped by a rooftop featuring an indoor/outdoor café, amphitheater, and community gardens.

Constructive on U.S. Housing
This column originally appeared on Real Money Pro at 7:58 a.m. EDT on April 27.
NEW YORK ( Real Money) --
A new development is catching home buyers off guard as the spring sales season gets under way: Bidding wars are back.I continue to hold to the variant view that the emerging and durable recovery in the U.S. housing market will be one of the biggest economic stories in the next 12 months (and beyond). Too many are reacting to the bad, backward-looking Case-Shiller data. (The index has a two- to three-month lag and 30% of its transactions are distressed, so it will be under pressure for now.) Driving your car while looking in the rearview mirror is fine if the road is straight and clear, but it's not such a good idea when the road is curved and rife with obstacles. And the U.S. housing market is nothing if not a long, winding and bumpy road. The real story is that the U.S. home market is now bifurcated (historically, a signal of a nascent recovery), stress pricing has stabilized, new-home prices are going up and so are existing-home prices (none distressed). As The Wall Street Journal article above indicates, inventory is being cleared. Industry data support the notion that housing demand is now in an uptrend. One company after another is reporting improving weekly metrics -- surveys, traffic, shipments and orders. My analysis suggests that housing demand and home prices will steadily improve in the years ahead based on the underpinnings of record home affordability, low home prices relative to rental prices, underproduction of new homes, continued household formation growth, steady growth in the jobs market, an easing up in mortgage lending, and low (by historic standards) mortgage rates -- all of which will conspire to unleash pent-up demand. From my perch, housing is embarking on a durable multiyear recovery that could extend throughout this decade, and residential real estate's broad multiplier effect will likely cushion the U.S. economy from the monetary and fiscal cliffs and some of the plentiful structural headwinds that have served as a governor to expansion. The economic consequence to the rebound in housing could be profound, providing construction jobs and lifting consumer confidence and spending. This constructive housing view is central to my thesis that the domestic economy's growth will be self-sustaining and supportive of reasonably healthy corporate profits. It is also central to my short bond analysis and view.
From California to Florida, many buyers are increasingly competing for the same house. Unlike the bidding wars that typified the go-go years and largely reflected surging sales, today's are a result of supply shortages....
Competitive bidding in the current environment isn't producing huge price increases or leaving sellers with hefty profits, as occurred during the housing boom. Still, the bidding wars caused by tight inventory provide the latest evidence that housing demand is starting to pick up after a six-year-long slump. An index that measures the number of contracts signed to purchase previously owned homes rose in March to its highest level in nearly two years, up 12.8% from a year ago and 4.1% from February, the National Association of Realtors reported on Thursday. "We very much believe we've hit bottom," said Ivy Zelman, chief executive of a research firm, who was among the first to warn of a downturn seven years ago. Earlier this week, she raised her home-price forecast for the year, calling for a 1% annual gain, up from a 1% decline.... Inventory levels in many markets were at the lowest level in years. At the current pace of sales, it would take just 1.5 months to sell all the homes listed in Sacramento, Calif., and 2.4 months to sell all the homes listed in Phoenix. San Francisco and Washington, D.C., each have 3.4 months of supply, while Miami has 4.1 months of supply. -- Nick Timiraos, " Stunned Home Buyers Find the Bidding Wars Are Back," The Wall Street Journal (April 27, 2012)

Sunday Morning Funnies: Gratz
Sunday Morning Funnies is your weekly list of WoW-related web comics.
Each week, SMF is placing a regularly updating WoW-related web comic under a spotlight. This week's feature is Gratz:
Gratz is a humorous comic by Lackinganame (Jason Nebeker). It is a relatively new comic, and family-friendly. It's fun and a great one to check out each week if you enjoy watching an artist evolve.
It began as a few character sketches and evolved into a full story-based comic. It features five main characters: Vancore (a leader, hero), Starfire (gifted, insightful druid), Red and Green (brothers; jokers, trouble-makers), and Gorak (wise, grandfather-figure, trainer, aging leader).
Gratz Genesis was written from 2009-2011 but not published until 2012, when the artist was able to devote more time to the comic. This is also when Gratz Transition was born, which not only features the characters as older, but also an updated art style.
Gratz updates Mondays, usually with 3-4 pages (and sometimes more!).

text: A new coil processor called DieMation will produce high-precision, multiple-piece parts from coils up to 40,000 lb. The system consists of a coil car, uncoiler, 26-14 gauge straightener, servo roll feed, 22-station punching system, shear, exit conveyor, and other components. A sophisticated, proprietary control system uses a new algorithm to coordinate strip position, independent positioning of the punching stations, and independent simultaneous punch operation, including nibbling, and it does so while minimizing move time and cycle time. A unique operator interface allows for significantly reduced programming time by applying graphical tools directly to user drawings. The system is designed to offer advantages over standard turret-style machines or lasers, such as removing tool-change/sheet-handling downtime, as well as reduced costs from the use of coil versus preblanked steel. The system is compatible to run materials such as cold-rolled, prepaint, stainless, aluminum, and some plastics. FMI Dahlstrom

I've never posted anything on a forum, so I don't know if this is the right way/place to do it. Does anyone know the best time to graft Carpathian walnuts onto black walnut seedlings? I usually have several black walnut seedlings come up each year, and I want to try grafting for the first time. Thanks |

hey jim .. welcome ... do you literally mean grafting on what comes up in a few months??? most tree grafting.. involves an understock that is at least pencil thick ... which is about 2 to 4 years old .... i would suggest you get some cactus mix.. and some one gallon pots .. and try potting up your seedlings.. and learning how to grow trees in pots.. for a year or two.. to grow them to size.. so as to graft them ... in the future ... otherwise.. generally.. trees are grafted in winter .... and i bet you missed your window of opportunity.. but i dont know for sure... but fruit peeps do things much differently than tree peeps.. so who knows .... there is a fruit forum .... and some of those peeps do 'nuts' .... and i have never seen most of them here.. so you might want to try the same question there ... if you dont get an answer here .. good luck ken |

I was under the impression that grafting can be done in early Spring while the plants are still dormant. I was going to graft some branches of the top onto the suckers, coming up from the root. The roots are of a stock used for dwarfing. :) |

My son was to have back surgery early this morning (11/19). A text from the doctor said they tested for blood clots due to pain in the leg before surgery and found a superficial, small clot. Doctors checked with doctors regarding the clot/surgery and received the go ahead. He is in surgery now, so I'm asking for prayers that all will go well. He is a believer but not as close to Jesus, possibly. Pray that God will also draw him closer.

Now I know what horror stories and nightmares are made of/where they come from: This life and the events that I have lived through, Seeing all that was once my happiness and joy lost, taken, gone..and having to live with the memories of happiness now long gone, My home, friends, all the things that I worked hard to achieve and did not mind doing so, gone... Please continue to Pray for me to find career-employment and to rebuild my life. GOD, I want a secure place to call my home, A place that I feel comfortable and safe in.

I like how it smells, and it makes my hair glossy for a day, but if I use it more than twice in a row my hair gets obnoxiously greasy. It just builds up in my hair. It's nice, but definitely not my go-to.

This is my favorite conditioner. I have fine, thick, wavy hair that is frizzy when it's dry, and this product helps smooth it all out. It doesn't weigh my hair down and I only put it on my ends. Great product!
Edit: I have switched to using Deva Curl Conditioner, which completely eliminates frizz and moisturizes like nobody's business. Sorry, L'Oreal.

I used to use the original formula which wasn't very good and then the Women of Color one which was better. However, I think that they have really revamped this formula and it is now superior to the original. To me, this works just as well as Kerastase Oleo Relax (another L'Oreal name product) only the price is about twenty bucks cheaper. My hair is soft, smooth and feels very well conditioned. I don't understand all the "leaves your hair dry" comments. Maybe they didn't get the right formula for their hair type. I made sure that mine was the right one suited to my hair's characteristics. Great stuff.

I tried to leave a review for the product made for thick hair, but will add my warning in this forum instead. I bought this thinking it would work as a replacement for the product I used for years and has since been discontinued by L'Oreal. It was the combined shampoo and conditioner and the regular conditioner in the white bottle. I think it was specified for dry and damaged hair. This new shampoo and conditioner was an utter disaster. I have very long silver hair and it turned it brassy yellow, the color of the product and the bottle. It left a horrible build up and would not rinse out fully. I guess I need a white or purple/blue shampoo, and tried the Pantene for silver hair. It took 5 or six washes to remove the yellow build up, but I really miss the old L'Oreal formula. It left my hair silky soft and shiny. I am still looking for a replacement for the old formula. I guess it would be good for someone with dry hair who did not mind the added color enhancement. I gave away my almost full bottles.

I used to enjoy Biolage Bodyfying conditioner (usually got 2 for $25 for liter bottles at Reggis). I tried Smooth Internse shampoo and conditioner for fine hair and really like both until I found L'Oreal Vive Pro Nutri Gloss for fine hair, pink bottles. I have very fine thinning (due to my thyroid) balck hair. Before trying for fine hair, I tried Smooth Intense for normal hair (because of bonus bottle) and they are different. For fine hair formula is better for my very "fine" hair although I still have frizzy hair. Unless L'Oreal change the formula, I won't go back to salon brands. Both L'Oreal shampoo and conditioner contain no harmful ingredients mentioned from Paula's book and website. I'll purchase Nutri Gloss the next time as I'm already in love with that new formula :)

I"m on my second bottle of this conditioner and I love it. Along with the shampoo. Its moisturizing, but clean rinsing and doesn't weight hair down. I am never faithful to shampoos and conditioners - buying a second bottle of anything means a lot! I barely make it through one bottle before moving on to my next. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

It's not very often that a really moisturizing conditioner comes along that I can use nearly every day without sacrificing volume. L'oreal's new Smooth Intense formula is great for making all of those little, fine hairs that want to fly away in dry, staticky weather lay down and shine. It's clean rinsing, leaves my hair easy to comb, and I find that I can get away with not using a leave-in on my ends all of the time. Smells light and clean, too. EDIT: After I finished the bottle, I haven't bought it again.

In the Art of Hosting community over the past two years a group of practitioners have developed a tool called the Collective Story Harvest. I've used it several times and it's a powerful and useful way to rapidly learn from the stories in the room.
Today comes news frim Mary Alice Arthur, one of the developers, about recent developments with the methodology.
I'm reporting in from the road again, this time from the airport in Chicago. I've had many opportunities to catch stories along the journey and this time, I'm here to report in on what's been happening with the method of Collective Story Harvesting.
We've been playing with this method for over two years now, using it in trainings, with clients and in many other gatherings. Attached is the latest version of the document and it now includes:
A group harvesting one story or set of stories together
Many stories being harvested simultaneously
A case study of CSH being used as the key focus for an organisational teambuilding
Using CSH during a community of practice gathering — all of telling and harvesting stories
How this method can support and work with other methodsA little "light bedside readingâ€, we are now weighing in at 19 pages. I have also been collecting all the harvesting arcs I've been hearing about to make a database of potential arcs or themes we can all draw on. If you have input to this list, please let me know. There's a googledoc you can be invited to where your input can be collected.
The next level of CSH is about to happen. For some time now, I've had my eyes set on larger systemic stories that can be of benefit to us all. We — a group of dedicated Danes and two adopted Danes — are about to host a grand experiment as we attempt to harvest the story of Denmark going bankrupt in 1813 because we believe this story holds some keys for both Denmark and the world about how to deal with adversity.
If you'd like to be involved in an ongoing conversation about storytelling and the Art of Hosting, please join me on the Ning:
And for more about the power of story, have a look here: http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/en/william_ury.html
Wishing you deep listening for your stories,

Want a Flying Drone? These Students 3D-Printed Their Own

"Even an inexpensive government or traditional system is going to cost you at least $150,000, but more likely closer to a quarter of a million or more, to have an aircraft that will go up and do that," he continues. "So you can imagine, you put a printer out there in Colorado, they print out the number they need, they grab a bunch of phones from the local store, some servos, they can throw it together in a couple days, have these things flying over the forest fire, collaborating on the sharing of data, ones reading wind data a little bit north saying 'In a few hours your wind is going to be like this…'"
Rotner continues, "We are trying to present it so it is immediately and cheaply impactful to local fire depts, FEMA, border patrol, DHS, as well as DOD. It's not just military usable."
Indeed, one of the big successes with the maiden flights were aerial maps. On the plane, the phone was placed underneath with the camera facing downwards. The Lapse It Pro app snapped a photo every few seconds.
After landing, another program quickly processes those images into a mosaic of everything the plane saw while it flew. It took about five minutes.
Of course, in these times, drones are more commonly associated with less benevolent applications — U.S. military air strikes that have killed terrorists and insurgents in countries like Pakistan and Yemen, at the cost of possibly hundreds of civilian lives. Balazs and Rotner's excitement is tempered slightly when asked about the possibility of their autonomous plane being used for hostile purposes — a real-life version of Real Genius.
"The work we do is for data collection — we're not on the offensive side," Balazs says, explaining, hopefully, that the physics of the platform make that less feasible. "It is the SWaP [size, weight and power] of such systems that are prohibitive," he states, noting that their platform offers no offensive capabilities that couldn't have be done by someone with an RC aircraft and malicious intent.

Quoted from Melissa_J I've been meaning to ask a question on Intrinsa myself. Maybe I haven't been compliant enough or maybe I'm having some candida die-off problems from it, but it gives me really loose stools. Anybody else notice this? I've taken a break from it to improve my diet and rebuild my flora, then I'll try it again. Dr. D's post does say that it takes good compliance at the same time as the intrinsa, so maybe that's the problem.
Quoted from ironwood55 I believe I can see some improvement in my fingerprint lines after being on the protocols for about 6 weeks.
Quoted from Alan_Goldenberg I think they are not as deep as they were, but that may just be a mental quirk. They are still as numerous. My lines were/are pretty bad, there was no need to 'ink up' to see them.
Quoted Text I also have a lot of vertical lines on the next segment of my fingers and even some in the last finger segment before the palm.
Quoted from ironwood55 I also have a lot of vertical lines on the next segment of my fingers and even some in the last finger segment before the palm. I am assuming those are related to gut integrity too. Does anyone else have these lines?

Hard proof that we are living in the future: To promote the recent New York City marathon, Asics hooked up a 60-foot video wall in Manhattan's Columbus Circle subway station, inviting commuters to race against life-sized footage of Olympic marathon runner Ryan Hall. Hall zips by at his average pace while you see if you can match it.
I know the technology doesn't seem that advanced, so why do I deem this futuristic? Because in the New York of my youth, when two people were running in the subway, both were real and the guy in front usually had the second guy's wallet.

And truly, this may be what we must hope for, based on the somewhat anecdotal evidence provided by the last three Sundays. Now we know that the Vikes are not as bad as they looked in losing to the Bucs and Bengals, both of whom are unexpectedly among the NFL's five unbeaten teams. They actually dominated the Saints, except for a shaky third quarter, but it is probable that New Orleans is in a down year, and looking back, the Vikes have always had the upper hand with them, just as they've always had trouble with the Bengals.
After looking like the same old bunch of stiffs last week, the defense regrouped on Sunday to hold a good Saints offense to sixteen points, seven of which resulted from a very questionable interference call on Kenny Irvin. I see two keys to the improved performance: 1.) Pat Williams anchors the run defense up the middle. Defense starts there, and if it doesn't, it will never get off the field; 2.) The Purple cornerbacks, once the 98 pound (and slow) weaklings of the league, are now a strength. Ted Cottrell can bring the blitz because he has corners who can cover man to man, and, at least against the Saints, it usually got the defense off the field on third down.
Unfortunately, it looked like there was a big drop off when Ralph Brown came in for the injured Brian Williams, and with safeties Darren Sharper and Willie Offord also hurt, this group is pretty badly shot up early in the season. Hopefully Sharper can play next week and the injury will not nag him as a similar one did all last year. At this point there is no word on the seriousness of the knee injuries sustained by Offord and Williams, but it did not look good Sunday night.
Linebacking remains a work in progress. Ours still do not get back into pass coverage as well as they might, which made for way too much excitement when the Vikes tried to protect Sunday's lead.
On offense, a lot has been made of Daunte Culpepper's resurrection, but I don't think he played as badly in the first two games as some think. No QB can be effective without an offensive line to offer pass protection, plus run-blocking to keep the attack from becoming one-dimensional and replacing #11 with a bulls eye. Culpepper has thrown eight interceptions, yes, but four occurred after the game was out of reach against Cincinnati, and two in the Bucs game were dropped balls. The astute fan will note that Aaron Brooks, on Sunday, was unhappy and scatter-armed against constant pressure.
The biggest worry for the Purple, now that the kicking and special teams have shaped up, is an offensive line that has been very inconsistent. Once again they failed to pick up the blitz and couldn't sustain the running game when necessary to protect a lead. (Adam Goldberg took advantage of his opportunity to replace the struggling Marcus Johnson by getting immediately knocked head over heels; Johnson, meanwhile, celebrated his underwhelming performance by getting arrested for wee hours highjinks along with his line mate, Bryant McKinnie. The Purple continues in its wild and wacky ways. Who was it that referred to them as Jim Beam's team?)
After week three, I would bet that Purple hopes rest mainly on how effectively the hole in the dike at center and right guard gets patched. Next week down in Atlanta could be a toughie to watch.

Flinks—Speed-Reading Web Browser
I'm always on the lookout for original projects, and this particular application really took me by surprise. According to its Web site, "Flinks is a text-mode flashing word Web browser. It is intended for speed reading and/or skimming Web pages and text."
Martin Bays, the author of the project, was first inspired by a mobile-phone program that rapidly flashed words one after the other on screen, which promised reading speeds of 600–700 words per minute (WPM) after a few days of practice. Intrigued by the idea and put off by the thought that such a technically simple program cost $20, Martin set about making Flinks.
Although I can't really demonstrate the effect on printed page, Flinks rapidly flashes individual words of a Web page one after the other in rapid succession to help train your brain for speed reading.
Getting Flinks up and running is very easy, because no real installation is necessary, and its dependencies are very minimal. All you need is Python, version 2.4 or later, along with a working version of Lynx.
Download the latest tarball from the Web site, extract it, and open a terminal in the new folder. At the command line, enter:
$ ./flinks
Given the simple design, Flinks is best used with Web sites consisting of mostly text and easy navigation. A good example of this is Wikipedia, and as a result, Martin has chosen it as the default Web site upon opening Flinks.
To get going, press the g key to enter a URL (you don't have to enter in the "http://", something like "metallica.com" is fine). Once the page loads for a few seconds in the browser, press the spacebar to "play" the Web page. Pressing the spacebar again will pause the browser. At this point, a great deal of words starts flying at you, one after the other at a rapid speed. The effect is kind of startling at first but pretty darn cool.
Flinks is set to a default speed of 450 WPM, but if you want to speed up or slow down the word rate, the up and down arrow keys adjust it accordingly. The left and right arrow keys allow you to skip through sentences, and the / or ? keys let you search forward or backward within the text. Other basic navigation includes b to go back, u to go "unback" and q to quit the program.
In the end, this program is a great trip. Put on some Speed Garage (or conversely some Stoner/Prog rock for a time-warp effect) in the background while you try reading at 700 WPM, and you'll be in hyperspeed geek heaven. And, to quote Martin himself:
"But perhaps the most important plus of using Flinks is that having this almost direct jack from the computer to my brain makes me feel like I'm living in the future. And the future is in text mode, just as I always dreamed it would be."
Sounds good to me.

Sigh. Linux Journal continues to leave out links to the packages they discuss.
For anyone interested here's the link:
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Hi Folks, Have a Craftsman 917.986450, 26 HP Kohler, Hydro, 54" deck. It has zerks for the blades, no info in manual on "interval" for grease. Just shows the location. I'm assuming just give them a "shot or two" when I grease the front end? First mower I've had with fittings there. Thanks for your time, Ev |
Follow-Up Postings:
took a look and saw what you mean about the documentation - a bit sparse. Yeah, mebbe 3-5 shots the first time around and then mebbe 2-3 shots each time you lube the front end thereafter should keep the bearings from going dry/hot... but, yer call. |
Ev, I think that your machine is the Sears version of the Husqvarna LGT2654. So I checked the manual for my LGT2654, and all it says is to lubricate zerks every 25 hours. I use a pistol-type grease gun and hit mine with 4-5 shots each time; been doing it that way for about 6 years now, and all is okay. |
I have a 2005 Husqvarna GTH2754. I have always greased the steering and deck spindles using Lucas Red N Tacky. The spindles get 8 to 10 shots each every two to three weeks (about 25 to 30 hours of run time). 9 years I have yet to replace a single spindle or feel any play in them. |
Thanks for all the responses!! Javert, interesting info on the Husqvarna, I stopped by the local Husqvarna dealer and when I said "GT" he immediately was talking about a ....$4,000+ machine and the bagger was $849, over $5,000 and he couldn't get one for at least three months. I don't remember the model number. I paid a lot less than that. I'm sure the "sears" version may have sacrificed some things to get to the $3100 price point, including bagger. However, it's running strong and the bagger works well. Time will tell. again, thanks for the responses, Ev |
Ev, the LGT2654 is NOT a garden tractor. It has a K46 hydro, so that tells you that it ain't ground-engaging rated. However, it is a big heavy machine, and has been trouble-free - but I take care of it. I pull a garden cart, seldom over 100 pounds, and also tow a plug aerator. Other than that, it's just a mowing machine. I'm pretty sure your Craftsman is an updated version of the Husq LGT2654. Semper Fi. |
Javert, the trans says HydroGear, G7-BCBB-1XDCC-1FCA. I think that Husqvarna made it, but seems to be a different machine. By the old rules, the axles are at least one inch which indicates a GT. To further complexicate things, it's called a "Garden Riding Mower" and it's the only one of the Craftsman Pro series listed as Ground Engagement. HooRah! Ev |
Yeah, Ev, the 917 prefix to the model number shows that it is a Husqvarna product. 917 was once Roper, then AYP, then Electrolux, and now Husqvarna - all the same company, just changed ownership. My FIL's older Craftsman GT5000 is also of 917 manufacture and has a Hydro Gear transmission - has been a great machine. |
I have my original GT 5000, 917.275972 with the six speed trans, I think that's a Peerless? Still going strong. I got the new one as I thought the hydro and step through chassis would be easier on the old body. It sort of is, though if you're mowing sidehills and up and down, forget the cruise control. Also the seat, even all the way back is cramped for a six footer. It seems that I'll be able to do the mowing faster due to the hydro and speeding up where the grass is thin, etc. The bagger is very nice and the garden is going to love the clippings. Decided to stop getting the aged horse manure every spring, just put on clippings, cut out the middle "horse." :-) |
The big difference between the LGT or GTH (GT= Garden Tractor) and the YTH or YGT (Yard Tractor) are the trans axles used. The Y's are basically built for mowing and light yard work. The tire/rims are attached to the axle using a key and clip setup. The G's are built using stronger and beefier trans axles. These are made to handle more work such as heavier towing (plows, larger aerators etc). The tires are mounted on rims that use lug nuts to hold them to the hub much like a car. Most of the time you will find cast iron axles, bigger (hp), better quality engines and frames on the G models. |

"I had been in situations with difficult kids, but they'd already been identified as emotionally disturbed, and programs had been set up for them," she says. "What I walked into was a situation with very disturbed kids who hadn't been identified and weren't getting serviced. And it looked like some of the most disturbed kids had been in charge of the building. Their behavior was so extreme that everyone was dancing around them. I wasn't teaching; I was raising these kids."
The teachers were told not to worry, to be patient. There was a plan in place, a plan to bring order and crack down on absences and get the kids who needed special programs into them as quickly as possible so that they wouldn't disrupt the education of the other students. But it was all going to take some time.
How much time? Nobody knew, but Mrs. Tracey had a pretty good idea that the problems weren't going to disappear overnight. She had not been at Ashley long when a little boy threw a chair at her.
For many students, violence and fear seem to be woven into the public-school experience; they are as much a part of the post-Columbine landscape as yellow buses and cargo pants. One grim sign of the times is the recently revised "Emergency Management Plan and Classroom Emergency Procedure Manual" handed out to every DPS teacher.
The booklet advises teachers how to respond to every imaginable crisis situation, from Kidnapping ("remain calm") and Gun/Weapon on Campus ("discreetly call the office if the suspect is not present") to Shootings or Stabbings on Campus ("take cover, if necessary"), Spilled Body Fluids ("wear disposable latex gloves") and Communicating with the Media ("speak conversationally, otherwise your voice will go up and sound strained").
Fortunately, the manual doesn't receive much of a workout at Ashley, where discipline problems, even chair-throwing, have been greatly curtailed over the past three years. The place is smoke-free, gang-free, trench-coat-free. The school has its own dress code, and more than half of the students wear some form of blue and white, a kind of voluntary school uniform that has yet to be approved by the school board.
The halls of Ashley are plastered with bright, bold signs extolling the virtues of positive behavior and academic achievement: "Believe in Yourself." "Kid Power!" The most pervasive feel-good message is also the most literal, a self-help mantra that could have been borrowed from Saturday Night Live's Stuart Smalley or the "mah-velous" Fernando:
Praise and encouragement are doled out lavishly at Ashley. Mrs. Tracey, for example, hands out stamps, stickers and stars to students who write good papers, give good answers or sit quietly at their seats. When the entire class performs well, she tells them, "Pat yourselves on the back," and they do.
These exercises in self-esteem are hardly frivolous. A cornerstone of the new Ashley program is the rather quaint notion that kids have to be in their seats, focused and under control, before they can learn. That requires an emphasis on discipline as well as positive rewards. "I have to teach them how to act right before I can teach them anything else," Mrs. Tracey says.
Accenting the positive also serves to counter the message of failure Ashley has received from the media and, to some extent, from the bean-counters in the DPS administration, who tend to be as obsessed with test scores as any mush-brain education reporter. The official evaluation reports of Ashley's progress since the restructuring are heavy on statistics, and the numbers stretch like mountains that will take years to climb: Nearly a third of Ashley's 420 students speak minimal or no English; almost 90 percent of the students qualify for a free or reduced-price lunch, a figure that's been increasing for the past five years and is used to determine the percentage of "at-risk" students at a school; and Ashley has one of the highest rates of attrition and mobility (students who've moved in or out of school during the year) in the district and ranks among the lowest in reading and writing scores.
Yet buried within the numbers are trends that indicate the back-patting isn't misplaced. Attendance and other indicators of a stable student population are increasing. So are test scores. In 1998, Ashley's third-grade reading scores on state tests were the worst in the district. Last year they ranked seventh from the bottom -- which may not sound like much of an improvement, but it actually represents a near-doubling of the percentage of students considered proficient (from 11 to 20 percent). Based on preliminary results this fall, the scores are expected to continue upward.
What the staff at Ashley has done, says Wanda Lydia, is set the stage for greater academic progress by concentrating first on discipline. "There was a need to set up expectations for the students," says the principal. "We had to do a lot of working with the community."
Lydia, formerly the principal of high-achieving Asbury Elementary in south Denver, volunteered to lead the restructuring team. Her first order of business was dealing not only with problem students but with problem parents, including a couple of moms who got into a slugging match during a parent-teacher conference. Considerable effort went into training staff in a discipline program known as Refocus, in which misbehaving students are first warned, then ejected -- and not allowed back in the classroom without a written pledge to do better from the offender and, in some cases, a parent's signature.
