NEW YORK, June 26, 2013 – New Jersey Governor Chris Christie gave an order for all flags on government and office buildings in his state to be flown at half mast on Monday. This was Christie's tribute to actor James Gandolfini, who died of a heart attack last week in
Gandolfini was a native son of
In response to this grandiose gesture, some critics argued that, as wonderful as he was in his role as mob boss Tony Soprano, Gandolfini was merely a TV star. He was not a military hero; he did not invent a cure for cancer; and, though tragic for his family and friends, his death did not warrant gubernatorial attention.
This is a valid claim. But Americans' attitude towards
It is not surprising, then, that the news of Gandolfini's death caused more of a stir in many circles than the terrorist murder of four Americans in
What is surprising, however, is the apparent lack of awareness on the part of Gandolfini fans about the nature of their grieving in this particular case. Indeed, with all the carry-on about the greatness of both Gandolfini and the character he played, little has been written about the real root of our attraction to him.
Because it is not self-evident that an overweight, philandering, sociopathic, narcissistic, ruthless criminal could cause audiences to become enamored with and addicted to his machinations, explanations for the success of "The Sopranos" have abounded since the show first aired in 1999. The show's final episode, in June 2007, generated more discussion and debate at water coolers and on the Internet than a presidential election.
It is true that "The Sopranos" is a work of genius, with a cast to match. It is compelling, riveting, suspenseful and witty. It provides something for everyone, from chase scenes to love scenes, mafia family dynamics and suburban family life. It deals with drugs, sex and violence, alongside conventional marital and parental problems.
But its grip on the American psyche goes deeper. Tony Soprano is not just an anti-hero viewers hate to love. He embodies a kind of moral code that we secretly wish we could be governed and protected by. He represents a strict interpretation of right and wrong, and of loyalty first to his immediate loved ones, then to his extended mafia relatives and only after that to the rest of the world.
The best example of our appreciation of this quality, that earned him a prominent place in TV Guide's list of the 50 sexiest men in
During this episode, Tony's psychiatrist, Dr. Melfi, is attacked by a man who grabs her in the parking lot of her clinic, drags her into the stairway and rapes her. Though he is apprehended by the police, he is released on a technicality. Melfi then sees a photo of him on the wall of a sandwich shop, as "employee of the month."
Throughout the episode, the viewers are dying for her to tell Tony about the rape. Despite being tempted to do so, she refrains. She opts, instead, to keep her professional ethics intact, and not turn to a patient whom she knows is a mob boss to avenge her emotional and physical scars. She, like the viewers, knows that Tony would gladly have come to her rescue. He would have jumped at the chance to be her – our – knight in shining armor.
The mass cringe of frustration and disappointment on the part of the viewing public at Melfi's choice was deafening. This is because hunger for moral clarity is so rampant among the American people that they are even willing to champion an immoral character in order to sate it.
It is this very clarity, so brilliantly portrayed by Gandolfini, that was being bade farewell by the residents of

Also the city's manager of parks and recreation, Alexander has been Mayor Wellington Webb's point man in behind-the-scenes dealings with the Winter Park Recreation Association (WPRA), a nonprofit corporation that has launched an aggressive campaign to take the lucrative city-owned resort private.
Alexander stresses that he retired from banking in 1981, and now "works only for the City and County of Denver." However, Webb and Alexander came under fire last year when they cut a secret deal to sell the ski area to the WPRA for $53 million--ith the option to pay off the debt with a lump-sum payment of just $24.5 million. The ski area's own appraisers have estimated its value at $58 million, and critics of the deal say it could be worth more than twice that on the open market.
Alexander's relationship with the WPRA and its president, Gerald F. Groswold, dates back to the 1970s, when Alexander served as president of the First National Bank of Denver, the ski areaÕs longtime lender (First National is now known as First Interstate Bank). In 1979 Alexander personally approved a $7.5 million loan to the WPRA intended to finance new development at the ski area.
That same year, the city signed its controversial 100-year lease with the resort--controversial because it pays Denver only $7,000 per year while tying up the publicly owned land for a century. As parks manager, Alexander says his main goal is to increase the city's take to at least $2 million per year instead of the $7,000 figure. But in his past role as a lender, Alexander himself pushed for the long-term lease--a lopsided agreement that in 1992 paid the city less than one-tenth of one percent of the resort's total revenues.
"As far as I'm concerned, thereÕs no conflict at all," says Alexander of his former role with the WPRA. "When you're a lender, you want to have a long-term lease."
According to language in the lease, signed on April 13, 1979, the 100-year time frame was necessary so that the WPRA's lenders could safely commit to long-term financing. And shortly afterward, on May 1, 1979, $7.5 million in bonds were issued on behalf of the WPRA under the bonding authority of Grand County. Records on file in Grand County show that Alexander's bank was lender and trustee.
City auditor Bob Crider, whose office was not included in the city's initial negotiations, says he was unaware of Alexander's prior financial relationship with the WPRA until being contacted by a reporter. "It concerns me that it's all the same players," says Crider. "It may not be a conflict of interest, but it's certainly unusual."
Mayor Webb has his own ties to the WPRA, which, due to its status as an agent for the city, pays no income or property tax. Records on file at the city clerk's office show that Gerald Groswold was a contributor to Webb's 1991 mayoral campaign, as was the WPRA's attorney, Eugene L. Hohensee. WPRA treasurer Timothy P. McKeever and boardmember W. Scott Moore also helped finance the Webb campaign, and Webb has publically lauded the ski area's board chairman, Kermit L. Darkey, as a community leader.
The proposed sale agreed to by Webb and the WPRA was shot down last year by the city council, which refused to put the proposal on the November ballot. (All sales of city property must be approved by the voters.) But the Winter Park deal isn't dead.
Webb and Alexander recently reopened talks with the WPRA, and the mayor appointed a 24-member advisory committee, with Alexander as its co-chair, to help consider options for increasing the city's share of resort revenues. The city has been portrayed in recent media reports as having taken a new, hard-line approach toward the WPRA, in large part due to Alexander's announcement last month that Denver would withhold approval of a land swap the ski area had arranged with the U.S. Forest Service to further development at the resort.
However, on December 15, two days before the advisory committee's first meeting, Alexander met privately with WPRA chairman Darkey and the ski area's Denver lobbyist, David Greenberg. The purpose of the meeting, says Alexander, was to personally deliver a letter to Darkey informing him that the city would not approve the land swap. At that time, says Alexander, Darkey requested "as a courtesy" a second meeting between the two sides at which the legal issues surrounding the city's decision could be discussed before any announcement was made to the public. Alexander says he later decided that it "was not proper" to hold such a meeting without the knowledge of the advisory committee, and so refused Darkey's request.
But according to a confidential memo Gerald Groswold sent to his board of trustees on December 17, Alexander did more than deliver a letter during the December 15 meeting with Darkey and Greenberg. Far from refraining from any activity that might affect his own advisory committee, says the memo, Alexander reached a specific agreement with Darkey to remove any discussion about the land swap from the new committee's first agenda. In addition, says the memo, the meeting "caused Bruce to focus on how the meeting might proceed and what it might have as a final result."

Although billed as a peel, this highly fragranced product is really a scrub that contains a small amount (less than 1%) of the beta hydroxy acid (BHA) exfoliant salicylic acid. The pH of this scrub is too high for the salicylic acid to exfoliate skin, and it's rinsed from your skin before the salicylic acid has much chance to work.
Most likely the abrasive agent is silica beads, and they are quite gentle. This works as a scrub for normal to dry skin, but it's overpriced for what you get. Besides, it almost goes without saying that a leave-on exfoliant with salicylic acid, or the alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) glycolic acid, would produce superior results, including enhanced collagen production, which scrubs don't provide.
This scrub contains some plant ingredients known to inhibit melanin (skin pigment) production, but such ingredients work best on brown spots when they're left on, not rinsed from, the skin.
More Info:
Daily, chronic irritation from the fragrance chemicals in this scrub can damage healthy collagen production, lead to or worsen dryness, and impair your skin's ability to heal (Sources: Inflammation Research, December 2008, pages 558–563; Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, June 2008, pages 124–135 and November-December 2000, pages 358–371; Journal of Investigative Dermatology, April 2008, pages 15–19; Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, March 2008, pages 78–82; Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, January 2007, pages 92–105; and British Journal of Dermatology, December 2005, pages S13–S22). This is less of an issue in a rinse-off product like this, but still cause for concern.

If you're looking for a clear-cut case of style winning out over substance, here it is. The Dior name is synonymous with couture fashion and countless other lifestyle accoutrements, but they continue to falter when it comes to establishing a first-rate collection of skin-care products. Of course, the company believes their products are the crème de la crème and if we're judging on aesthetics alone, we see what they mean. However, what's inside the gorgeous components is what counts for your skin, and Dior's formulas leave a lot to be desired. On one hand, it's great that all of their sunscreens contain sufficient UVA protection; on the other, all of their moisturizers either leave skin wanting more or contain problematic ingredients with no skin-redeeming qualities.
Fragrance is huge for Dior, and a visit to their counter attests to this, as fragrances line the counter right beside the skin-care tester unit. It would be better for skin if the two categories were kept separate, but in most cases the amount of fragrance added to Dior's skin-care products is greater than the token amounts of state-of-the-art ingredients (and the effectiveness of most of those is further diminished by jar packaging). If you wouldn't put perfume on your face, think twice about applying it in the form of an expensive skin-care product.
On the plus side, there are a few very good products to consider if you don't mind spending the extra money. If you're a fan of Dior's fashions and want to experiment with their cosmetic products, you'll find that their makeup outshines the skin care and has improved in ways that keep the panache while making genuine improvements. Despite all manner of claims to the contrary (everything from purifying pores to lifting skin to the point that sagging is a thing of the past), the most attractive part of Dior's formulas is how they're dressed, not how they perform.

Dior Makeup
Always fashion-forward, Dior's makeup is more well-designed and attractive than ever, offering standout products in almost every category. The most notable change over the past several years has been Dior's improved foundation formulas and shades. It's now the exception rather than the rule to find overtly peach, pink, or rose-toned shades among Dior's many complexion-enhancing options. Even better, Dior has recently introduced foundations to compensate for its previous too-low SPF efforts, with formulas available in SPF 15, 20 and 25, a couple of which even include UVA-protecting ingredients. Such a move shows that while Dior may still struggle with an overall lackluster skin care line, they are at least working to meet dermatologist-recommended benchmarks for sun protection.
You will also be very impressed with Dior's powder blush, eyeshadows (though their shiny finish is not the best for Baby Boomer eyes), the DiorSkin concealer, brow gel, and most of the mascaras. If you're a fan of lip gloss and are willing to tolerate a double-digit price, you'll be in cosmetics heaven wading through all the lip-shining options here. On the flip side, neither the standard pencils nor most of the lipsticks are worth the money. With any designer-based line built on artifice, price is more than a matter of dollars. It's indicative of a company's image and remains a prestige factor that often speaks louder than the products themselves. Dior is guilty of maximizing its assets to play up its image, but with their makeup line the good news for you is that, for the most part, they really pay attention to what's inside all the luxe containers, too.
One more note: Dior's makeup tester units are much more accessible and user-friendly than for previous editions of this book. We also found their counter staff to be more accommodating and definitely less condescending than several other European-bred lines.
Note: Dior is categorized as a brand that tests on animals because its products are sold in China. Although Dior does not conduct animal testing for its products sold elsewhere, the Chinese government requires imported cosmetics be tested on animals, so foreign companies retailing there must comply. This requirement is why some brands state that they don't test on animals "unless required by law." Animal rights organizations consider cosmetic companies retailed in China to be brands that test on animals, and so does the Paula's Choice Research Team.

Christmas Carols: Little town (of Bethlehem)
Gather the family and remember the little town of Bethlehem back in the time when Christ was born. This beautiful carol remembers a time gone by that kids often forget in the Christmas season.
Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in the dark streets shineth, the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love
Oh morning stars together, proclaim the holy birth.
And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on earth.
How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heaven
No ear may hear his coming, but in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive him still, the dear Christ enters in.
Oh holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in, be born in us today
We hear the Christmas angels, the great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us, our lord Emanuel.
You can find the tune to this carol on youtube.

Rush W-League GM Honored
Congratulations to Dominique Hoecherl for being recognized by the United Soccer League for her outstanding work as General Manager of the Colorado Rush W-league team! Dom is one of five finalists for the Betsy McAdams Key Grip Award. The winner will be announced at the 2012 USL Hall of Fame Banquet Friday, December 14, at the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa. This award recognizes teams and executives that set a standard for excellence throughout 2012.
Conversation with Dom:
Q: Many folks may assume that managing the W-league team is no different than managing any other Rush team. In reality, there's a whole lot more that goes into it! Tell us about your role as GM of the CO Rush W-league team and some of the contributions that led to this honor.
A: It's exciting to be on this side of the game (after years of playing and coaching) and bring my passion for the game to the GM role. There are a number of "minimum standards" required by the United Soccer Leagues and a big part of my job is to make sure we adhere to those standards. I'm also responsible for marketing, communications, sponsorship, gameday setup, registrations, gear, travel, away team accommodations, scheduling, and managing volunteers (to name just a few!) I'm entering the 4th year as GM of the W-league team so I'm definitely getting more comfortable with it and I have established close relationships within the league.
Q: What are some of the challenges that you, Rush, and the league face heading into 2013?
A: With the announcement of the new professional league starting up in 2013, there are some things being worked out with the linkage between the leagues. The new pro league is under US Soccer, while the W-league is USL. Some W-league franchises may be feeders to their professional teams. Seattle, for example, will have both a professional team and a W-league team. While some players like Alex Morgan and Hope Solo won't be playing in the W-league this year, there will still be tremendous talent for Rush fans to watch on our own team and across the league.
Q: Any insight on new/returning players to the Rush W-league team for 2013?
A: You'll have to wait and see...we'll keep you updated throughout the spring as our roster comes together.
Q: Last question...describe your favorite soccer moment in your playing/coaching career?
A: My senior year at the University of Utah, the setting is Honolulu. Beautiful day with a warm rain coming down. We were taking on the University of Hawaii and I scored 2 goals that day in the win. It was a fun trip and a great win for us!
Thanks, Dom, for your outstanding work with the Rush W-league team! The games are so entertaining to watch and a fantastic opportunity for young players to see some of the top players in the country compete. A great way to spend a summer evening!

North Western Health Board -v- H.W. & C.W., [2001] IESC 90 (2001)
JUDGMENT BY: Denham J.
THE SUPREME COURTKeane C.J.Denham J. 321/00Murphy J.Murray J.Hardiman J.BETWEEN/THE NORTH WESTERN HEALTH BOARD PLAINTIFF/APPELLANTandH.W. and C.W. DEFENDANTS/RESPONDENTSJudgment of The Hon. Mrs. Justice Susan Denham delivered on the 8th day of November, 2001.1. AppealThis is an appeal by the North Western Health Board, hereinafter referred to as the plaintiff, from a judgment and order of the High Court (McCracken J.) delivered on 27th October, 2000. H.W. and C.W., hereinafter referred to as the defendants, are the parents of a baby boy, J.W., born in 2000. The High Court ordered that the plaintiff's motion for an order permitting the plaintiff to carry out the PKU test on J.W., notwithstanding the refusal of his parents, or restraining the defendants, their servants or agents from impeding the carrying out by or on behalf of the plaintiff of the PKU test, be refused.2. The BackgroundThe background to this case was described by the learned High Court judge. He stated:"There is a screening test, commonly known as the PKU test, which has been available for over thirty years for testing for the presence of four metabolic conditions and one endocrine condition in children. This test is normally carried out on new born infants between 72 hours and 120 hours after birth. It is in effect a blood test, the blood being extracted from the infant by puncturing the skin, usually in the heel of the infant, with a lancet which has a guard which ensures it can only penetrate to a limited extent, and then extracting some drops of blood, usually by pressure on the heel close to where the lancet was inserted. The resulting drops of blood are collected on what is called a Guthrie card and is sent to Temple Street Hospital in Dublin where it is tested for these conditions.In the present case we are only concerned at this stage with the screening for three of these conditions which may be referred to briefly.1. Phenylketonuria. This is a condition which may cause severe mental handicap, but which may be treated primarily by diet throughout the lifetime of the sufferer. It is a relatively common disorder and has an incidence of 1 in 4,500 in this country.2. Homocystinuria. This is a metabolic condition which may cause intercranial bleeding or strokes, and also can cause dislocation of the lenses of the eye and can result in severe mental handicap. This again can be treated by diet control for life and the incidence in this country is 1 in 49,000.3. Hypothyroidism. This condition results from the failure of the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine and again results in mental handicap. It can be treated and controlled by medication and its incidence in Ireland is 1 in 3,500.It is common to all these conditions that they are treatable, but once the damage has been caused by the condition it is usually irreversible and thus it is medically considered of great importance to have the condition diagnosed at as early a stage as possible.This screening has been carried out for over thirty years. Originally, the screening was only for phenylketonuria, and this was extended to the other conditions at various times up to the year 1979. This screening is not provided for by legislation, but is a service which is being provided by the Department of Health and the local health boards for the benefit of the community in general. There is no provision or regulation making it mandatory, but in reality it is now carried out more or less as a matter of course, and the Department of Health records would indicate that there are only about six cases per year in which parents refuse to have the test carried out.In September 1990 a working group was set up by the then Minister for Health to report on metabolic disorders, which report recommended certain standard procedures with an aim or objective of 100% coverage of infants in the State. Under the heading "Responsibility of Parents" the report recommended:-'In the case of parents who refuse to allow their infant to be screened, the responsibility for the possible adverse consequences of their decision shifts, to them.The parents should be requested to signify their refusal in writing.'"3. The FactsThe facts are not in issue in this case, they were set out by the learned High Court judge as follows:"The defendants are the parents of a baby who I shall call Paul (not his real name) who was born earlier this year. They are resident in the functional area of the plaintiff health board. Paul was in fact born at home, and shortly after his birth the nurse employed by the plaintiff sought to have the PKU test carried out on Paul. The defendants refused to allow the test to be carried out, and after some correspondence wrote to the plaintiff's solicitors in the following terms:'As you know, the PKU test is a test which can be carried out on different substances, such as urine, blood and hair samples. Our decision regards our son (Paul) is as follows: we have no...See the full content of this document

Beautiful dance, everybody loves it. Along with The Flute and Wildflower Maggie is on a rollercoaster.
Mike Parkinson - 19/06/2011
Been dancing "All Of Me" for a few weeks to all my classes, and have been a great sucess. I'm sure this flowing dance will be a firm favourite for all the sentimentalist, amongst you. Nice feel this nightclub style 32/4, a little awkward on the timing at first, but well worth the perseverance, another winner from Maggie G.
David Spencer - 18/05/2011
Nice mix of rock steps, turns weave and sweep combinations. You need to concentrate on the timing as well as the footwork but as nightclub two-steps go, this has quite a quick pace. My class certainly enjoyed it.
Janet Fidoe - 14/05/2011
Great dance to a really lovely song. A firm favourite at the moment.
P Davies - 13/05/2011
Another lovely dance from maggie The class loved it . A great followup to her country dance Come to me which the class also enjoy.
Norma Purnell - 12/05/2011
Intermediates really enjoyed this dance. Some found the timing a little challenging but with 'Blake' fans in the class it was a success. Another winner from Maggie.

text: New Orleans and Louisiana have certainly proven themselves as viable and desirable location sites for motion picture and television projects. But, it's hoped that Hollywood South will become much more than just scenery. "We've always had blockbusters or 'tent-pole' type productions shooting in Louisiana," says Chris Stelly, Executive Director of the state's Office of Entertainment Industry Development. "Most recently, we've had Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, we've had Oblivion, we've had the last two Twilight's shoot here. So, we're well familiar with big budget films." "At this point, we have three major productions that will be shooting at the same time...Fantastic Four, Jurassic Park and Terminator 5," says Stelly. "We're well on our way to meeting the numbers that we set for last year and probably exceed them again this year." The Fox feature film Fantastic Four will begin shooting March 24th in Baton Rouge. Universal's Jurassic Park 4 will shoot for 11 weeks in New Orleans starting in June and the Paramount feature Terminator 5, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, will shoot April through July in New Orleans. Click here for more about upcoming projects... But, beyond location, the state is looking to further develop the industry, as a whole. "We're always working towards establishing an independent, self-sustaining industry, so the film industry will be one of those industries in Louisiana that's here to stay," Stelly says. He says sound stages, full production facilities and studios may well be the future of the film in Louisiana, in addition to its location filming. "We certainly have a very, very mature infrastructure...a great, deep, skilled crew base to meet every need of studio-type film, as well as television." "We're really doing well on the TV side, with several series shooting in the state right now. So, we're really starting to show some signs of growth on the creative television side and there's a lot of interest in what we're doing." Current TV success stories include Salem, True Detective on HBO, and American Horror Story: The Coven. And, there's an upcoming spinoff of the NCIS series to be shot in New Orleans. Dukes of Hazzard star John Schneider officially opened the John Schneider Studios in Holden, Louisiana this January, just an hour from the New Orleans Airport, and less than 45 minutes from Baton Rouge. "John certainly believes in what we're doing here, and we're excited to welcome him here to Louisiana," says Stelly. "It's just one of those signs that people have confidence in what we're doing." Schneider's studio currently offers a 5,000 square foot soundstage with 20 foot ceilings, and a variety of interesting locations for filming including a river location, a lake location, a swamp location, and a "Southeast Asia" style bamboo forest. The property also boasts two homes (circa 1910 and 1950) suitable for location filming, and has outbuildings that include an enclosed cafeteria/production office and a covered eating area. The property also has a 250,000 gallon swimming pool. Plans are in place to add post production sound (from pre-mix to final), and editing capabilities by May of this year, along with an on-site chef and living quarters for key crew which would assist with project flow and consistency allowing staff to live on premises in a focused and convenient working environment with minimal distraction. And, as for Louisiana's near film future... "Stay tuned on March 2nd, as the Oscars roll around and wind down award season," says Stelly. "I think Louisiana will be well represented. I'm making a bold prediction that Matthew McConaughey will win his Oscar for Best Actor and I think Jared Leto will win Best Supporting Actor for their performances in Dallas Buyer's Club." "And, I anticipate 12 Years a Slave will do equally as well, as will The Butler. So I think we're seeing a lot of critical accolades come our way, and Louisiana is well represented in award season."

"Never follow someone else's path unless you're in the wood and you're lost and you see a path, then by all means, you should follow that." - Ellen DeGeneres
Lots of things are going on lately, that's why I hardly find time to do anything else than school. But all in the name of the game, I say - at the very least, I'm more motivated than ever for school. We've started a new project - founding a brand new company including the whole corporate design, creating a product and later on selling it. It's a really interesting process. As soon as our product is out and everything else as well, I'll let you know. But until then I'll keep it as a secret...
The weather is currently, well let's say going crazy. It can be around 26 degrees centigrade and the next day it is raining and about 15 degrees. Or the sun is shining and just then it begins to rain. Which was the case whilst I was shooting this look. But lucky me, I was wearing this raincoat as if I knew it was going to rain.
I'm currently working on a new Corporate Design of my website and also my blog. My current design anyway was just meant to be a transition. I'm thinking about not only featuring my own looks but also my favourite editorials and fashion edits.
What are your thoughts about that? Would you welcome that?
I'm wearing a long raincoat from Rains which I got from Fizzen in combination with this comfy blouse from edc by Esprit in a loose fit. Together with my Birkenstock and Topshop jeans this is an easy to-go look with whom you'll never go wrong.
Enjoy the pictures and meanwhile maybe check my profile @jessicachrist on Instagram?

I have a Craftman 24 HP tractor. The spring return part number 401971 failed so the blades spin when engine is shut down. I see where one end goes but the parts diagram in the manual is worthless as to where the other end goes. I know if I removeve the deck it will be obvoius.Can someone save me the trouble and tell me where this darn little spring goes on the other end?
thank you joe |
Follow-Up Postings:
This must be an 04 or newer unit with that part #? The old style spring hooks to the idler cam ahead to a slot in the housing on the top of the deck. The slot typically fills up nicely w/ gunk so as to remain stealth.... The new style hooks to the brake arm and the other end I THINK to the bracket on the deck.You may want to remove the deck anyways to clean the pivot of the idler cam/ brake arms of debris. |
Yes , it is about 2 years old and has 88 hours on it. Model number is 917.286260. It has been reliable so far and I am glad I got the extra HP for my acre plus. Sears has the part for 2 bucks plus 8 dollars shipping. I hate that but at least I can get it. Maybe I can find a similar spring at the hardware store. Thanks for the help and advice Tom. Joe |
I am pretty sure the image below will match your deck (thank you tomplum :^) I can't say as I agree with going to a hardware store and blindly picking a "might work" stock generic spring for this application. Just my opinion. |
Hi mownie, I have the old spring, so I should be able to match it if possible. If not Sears. It failed on one end and was still attached and hanging down vertically on the the other. It is high enough of the deck to do so , so i think your photo is for a different model. http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Craftsman-Parts/Riding-mower-tractor-Parts/Model-917286260/0247/1509200/P0712050/00007?blt=06&prst=&shdMod= Also does having used it to mow without it hurt anything other than the loss of blade brake? Thanks , |
Ok I found it. The other hole is located on a flange welded to the mower deck, it is the one part 188, 189 goes through. There is a hle in it level with the other that would allow the spring to function. Other than operating the brake whose pad is going to wear out by the way, I dont see anything else this spring does. I am still replacing itjust in case that brake is ever necessary to keep somebody from getting hurt. |
Good deal. Thanks for verifying the other attachment point. I seem to recall thinking it was a good idea for them not to hook the spring through the deck as they did before.You should be able to have any local shop order that spring for you I would think. Or a good hardware store to match as you were thinking. I've not ever had that spring, but order the old style by the sack... You will probably find that the blades disengage fine w/out it- just that there is more positive braking. |
Sure Tom, Thanks again to you and mownie for your help. I hope this thread helps someone else with the same issue. So far so good with this model. I change oil and fliter every 25 hours or at least 6 months. I grease all 5 points regularly and keep air filter clean. I clean the tractor and mower deck after use often and it is garaged. The first craftsman we had ( the old gray metal ones ) lasted 18 years. We shall see how this one goes. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Effv!
Facts about Effv
- Breed: Pug
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With Black
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Effv's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Felix and Effv are a bonded pair and should be adopted together.
Felix, the little male, has a scratch on his cornea but the eye drops are working well, he may need them for awhile. He has vision in the eye and it should improve with drops. It's an old injury. He is very healthy even though he only weighs 17.5 lbs. He is very handsome apricot in color! Felix still seems very puppy like. He's very clumsy but very cute! We're gonna work on manors and tricks with him after he starts to feel better from his neuter surgery.
Effy is the little female. She is very healthy and weighs just 19 lbs. She is the same apricot color as Felix. Effv is very well mannered for her age and does well indoors and is quick to learn new tricks.
Felix and Effv are approximately 2 yrs old. They are doing great right now in their foster home are just a joy to have a round. They have been spayed and neutered and are current on the shots.
They are a bonded pair. Very dependent on each other, and the minute one gets out of sight, the other goes looking. Effv has an underbite which makes her face look very flat and very cute. They are both anxious to find a forever home so they can keep smiling all day.
Other Pets at Greater Boise Pug Rescue & Placement Group, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Effv, a Eagle Pug dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pug for sale in Eagle, or seeking a Pug dog from a breeder in Eagle.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Eagle already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Eagle breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Pug breeders who help with Pug rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Eagle paves the way for another one to be saved.

Customer testimonial
Frank van Kleef: 'We again opted for the HortiMaX MultiMa'
Tomato growers 'Van den Ende-Van Kleef' have again opted for a HortiMaX MultiMa computer to control the climate, irrigation and energy usage at their brand-new 74-acre operation 'Royal Pride Holland' in the Netherlands. At their other operation, where they grow 32 acres of tomatoes, Van den Ende-Van Kleef have used the MultiMa with complete satisfaction for years now. 'The computer does what it's supposed to do, such as controlling the climate and irrigation, and managing our energy sources and usage. The MultiMa also includes easy-to-use operating software, which all of our staff are able to work with', said Frank van Kleef, who dislikes equipment with complicated controls.

ADDRESS OF POPE JOHN PAUL II Saturday, 22 January 2005
Your Eminence, 1. This year too, I welcome you with joy on the occasion of the feast of St Agnes, your heavenly patroness. I offer each one of you a cordial greeting. I first greet Cardinal Camillo Ruini and thank him for his words of filial devotion and spiritual closeness on your behalf. I greet your Rector, Mons. Ermenegildo Manicardi, the superiors, alumni and all who collaborate with your formation, dear students, who have embarked on the educational curriculum that the Church proposes in order to train for the ordained ministry.
During your years at the Collegio Capranica the Lord's grace shapes your
personalities so that you acquire an effective presence in the Christian
community and in society. Above all, may the Eucharist be your lives' reference point: may the sacrament which is "the sum and summary of our faith" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, n. 1327) become in the reality of daily life the source of grace that prompts your action and the summit of perfection to which you constantly aspire. 3. Twenty-five years ago I had the opportunity to visit your Almo Collegio. Recently you desired to commemorate this event with a congress dedicated to the theology of priesthood and the historical forms that from the outset have characterized the formation process at your Institute. May this important anniversary be a further incentive to you to grow in communion with the Successor of Peter and in love for the Church. May the Virgin Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, and beloved St Agnes, the mystical bride of the Lamb, sustain you with their intercession and example. I cordially impart my Blessing to you all.

Regular physical activity is an important part of a weight loss programme.
Just 30 minutes of moderate physical activity taken most days, can benefit health, help to control weight and help to reduce the risks associated with weight gain eg heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure. Other health benefits include improved sleep patterns, reduced stress and more energised.
Even 10 minute 'bites' of activity daily to a total of 30 minutes has been shown to produce health benefits.
Adding physical exercise into your daily routine need not mean going to the gym! Try these simple tips:
An excellent way to keep fit, active and make new friends eg. line dancing, yoga, ballroom dancing, walking group, aqua jogging, aerobics, tramping, tennis, badminton or golf.
Here are some examples of activities that are non-weight bearing:
Remember - start out slowly and gradually build up to 30 minutes per day. Enjoy your activity and have fun.
The most fundamental type of aerobic exercise is walking and has become increasingly popular as a primary exercise for many people.
The most fundamental type of aerobic exercise is walking and has become increasingly popular as a primary exercise for many people.
If you're a sedentary person, start off slowly. Walk for 20 minutes every other day and build up gradually. Take a friend and use the talk test to determine the right pace for you. You should be able to comfortably hold a conversation with your walking partner. If you're too breathless, slow down.
Do get advice from your doctor if you have any medical problems that may be affected by embarking on a fitness programme.
Do make sure you have a comfortable pair of walking shoes.
Most pool complexes have swimming classes and water exercise group classes. Water is great for taking all the stress off the joints if you are carrying excess weight, allowing free and easy movement of limbs.
Start with a very relaxed and easy session if you are training by yourself. If you are not used to swimming 10 minutes should be fine, and just do breaststroke, sidestroke or whatever you find easiest.
Cycling is another good way to take the weight off the legs, but be careful to choose a comfortable bike. A road bike which makes you hunch over the handle bars may create back problems if you are not used to it.
Your knees should be just slightly bent at the bottom of the pedal stroke. Ask someone in a reputable cycle shop about technique and safety tips.
Gyms or Fitness centres are a good alternative to walking, cycling or swimming. Gym programmes should be personalised to the individual. Therefore, before working out in the gym, seek out instructors with recognised qualifications. Most gyms require you to have one session with a trainer to set a programme and familiarise you with the gym.
You might find a personal circuit training good as it can be designed for your needs and you can go in and do it whenever you like.
Your own individual circuit should encourage you to:
If you prefer, sit on a bike and pedal for 20-30 minutes. Exercise classes can really motivate some people but are often not designed for very inactive people.

While the Warstic Wood Bat company claimed that "There are very few secrets to making a great wood baseball bat," the Kentucky-based Hillerich & Bradsby Company probably begs to differ. H&BC, manufacturers of the famous Louisville Slugger bat, have reportedly developed a new wood finishing technique that affects the surface of the bat. As Kansas City Sports reports,
The new bats—made of ash or maple—are designed to be harder than previous models. Bobby Hillerich, director of Wood Bat Manufacturing for Louisville Slugger, said new selection processes for the wood, as well as drying and processing methods, have created a bat hard enough to reach a grade of 9h, the highest rating possible by the American Society for Testing and Materials.Buyers search for the hardest wood available—known as veneer wood—which is vacuum dried to pull moisture out of the wood and push the material closer together, Bobby Hillerich said. Once that is done, the wood is cut into billets used to create the bats. The billets are shaped and compressed before being finished with a water-based coating, logo, and any coloring and player signature.
...Louisville Slugger has refined bat-making to a science, [Major League Baseball VP of Licensing Howard] Smith said. "In terms of the slope of the grain, which determines how hard the wood will be, Louisville has been able to harvest the best wood with the most perfect as you can get slope of grain," Smith said.
Aside from their priority harvesting practices, what are the details of this new finish, and is it applicable to furniture or product designs? Is it more in the drying or in the application of some new type of finish? Unsurprisingly the company won't go into much detail; all they'll say about the finishing is "Our filler fills all grains and cavities before three layers of topcoat seal are applied to give the MLB Prime the hardest finish of any wood bat on the market."
Sigh. At least there's a recently-released video showing the bats being made:

Do any of you can produce? My husband ventured into canning this year (my only role was as taster and label-designer.)
Canning was sort of unexpected. Victor and I headed over to my parent's house mid-way through September to turn their garden down for an autumn planting of radishes, beets and lettuce. After pulling out just six tomato plants, we ended up with more than 30 pounds of tomatoes. As we cut down the plants, more and more tomatoes appeared from under leaves and behind stalks. It seemed endless. The amount of tomatoes we harvested was NUTS.
Here's a photo of our bounty I took with my iPhone:
Thirty-some pounds of delicious, heirloom tomatoes. Four different types and flavors. The deep red tomatoes at the top of the photo had the most intoxicating smokey flavor. We will definitely be growing those next year.
And, when you have pounds upon pounds of one type of produce, you are-in a way-very limited with what you can do. Make a pie? There goes one pound. Give some away? There goes only 10.
My husband took the juicy ripe ones and reduced them down on the stove along with some other choice ingredients. It took about six hours for everything to reduce down to the right amount. I went to bed and Victor was still in the kitchen, tending those tomatoes. I woke up the next morning to jars upon jars of expertly canned spicy heirloom tomato jam. Yum!
My husband chose this particular recipe for the jam because the jars seal themselves after canning, which makes the process quite a bit easier.
I have to tell you, if you've never had tomato jam–please seek it out. It works expertly as a savory or a sweet addition to any meal. It's great with sour cream on chips. Fabulous spread over cream cheese on a cracker. Delicious on top of a warm brie.
My husband then took the green tomatoes–unriped little green gems they are–and pickled those.
We've given a few as gifts already and so far they've been a hit. We thought we were going to give them away over the holidays but everything is so good we are thinking we might just want to hang on to them awhile longer. ;)
Here's his recipe:
Makes 2 8oz. jars
4 qt. saucepan
2 (8oz.) glass canning jars with new lids and bands
Canning pot with rack
small bowl
lid wand
jar lifter or tongs
plastic spatula
wide-mouth funnel
1.5 lbs tomatoes, cored and chopped
2.5 cups granulated sugar
1″ piece of cinnamon stick
4 3″ strips of lemon zest, remove with a vegetable peeler
2 whole cloves
1/4 c. ruby port
1. Combine tomatoes and any juice, sugar, zest, cinnamon, cloves and port in the 4qt. saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, skim any foam off the top. Lower heat to medium low and simmer, stirring now and then. As things thicken up, stir more often.
2. Test the jam to see if it's can-able. Put a small plate in the freezer for around 10 minutes and put a spoonful of jam on top and put it in the fridge for 2 minutes. If it gels up, you can can!
3. While the jam cooks, sterilize the jars, rings, lids. Add enough water in the canning pot to cover things by 2″. Bring to a boil, immerse the jars and the metal bands.
4. When the jam is ready, remove from heat and discard the cinnamon stick, cloves, and lemon zest.
5. Remove the jars from the water with a jar lifter, keeping the water boiling. Ladle the hot jam into the jars using the funnel and leave 1/4″ at the top for space. Wipe the rims clean, place lids on top and screw on the bands until finger tight (not too tight.)
6. Lower jars into pot and make sure they're covered by at least 1″ of water. When the water is boiling, let it sit for 5 minutes. Move the jars to a heat safe surface and let them cool completely.
7. Listen for the 'pop' sound to let you know the jars are sealed. Check the lids and make sure they're depressed. If the jar did not seal, keep it in the fridge for 2 weeks and eat! If it's done right, it will store for up to 1 year in a cool, dark place. Refrigerate after you open any of the jars.
You can use dry pectin if you want, but add it in step 1.

Eun Chul Kim, Republic of Korea, "MA Policy into Practice has provided me with a good chance to study British social policy and to experience the related practice. The modules which I took, satisfied my academic needs and curiosity over a quite broad spectrum of social policy fields. The academic staff made every effort to transfer academic knowledge and also they are highly kind and open-minded. We sometimes discussed over the issue passionately, other times we analysed the policy with cool and neutral attitude. I really enjoyed the time I had at the IASS and would like to recommend it to students who are interested in social policy from both academic and practical perspectives."
Hyochul Ahn, Republic of Korea, "Studying British social policy with other international students and leading academics on this beautiful campus is really fascinating. More than anything, I have realised the significance of social research which can influence policy and people's futures."
Isha Frederick, St Vincent, "The module 'The Politics of Social Policy in Britain: From 1940 to the present day', has really helped me understand the history of the UK and apply it to my studies. I've also found the university library to be a very useful place to study and the breadth and selection of books there is impressive."

Photos: Las Vegas prospect Nathan Starks wins fight to play for Dave Logan, Cherry Creek
Nathan Starks is one of the most highly recruited high school football players in the country -- but he couldn't get on the field for Cherry Creek High School, coached by ex-NFL pro and voice of the Broncos Dave Logan, because he'd been ruled ineligible by the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA). That changed this week, after assorted challenges and an arbitration hearing at which the acclaimed running back was represented by attorney Dan Caplis. With Starks set to debut for Creek at a game this afternoon, Caplis explains below how the way was finally cleared.Photos, videos and more below.
Starks is from Las Vegas and had previously played for Bishop Gorman, a high school in the city with a powerhouse football program -- and he quickly made a name for himself on a national level. While he excelled as a running back for the squad, he's listed on Scout.com website as the eighth most coveted safety in the country. Colleges said to be interested in him include Alabama, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Texas, USC, Arizona, Duke, UCLA and Utah.
Here's a video featuring some of his accomplishments during the 2012 season, when he was a junior.
This past spring, however, obstacles popped up along Starks's route to stardom at a major university, as Caplis explains.
"Nathan is a truly outstanding young man," says Caplis, well known for his long run as an afternoon talk-radio host on KHOW; he got involved in the case because his son, a Cherry Creek student, is friends with Starks. "And in three years at Bishop Gorman, a very good, very strict Catholic high school, he had no disciplinary issues whatsoever, and no contact with law enforcement other than a couple of traffic tickets. He's a good kid and was a leader in the school."A recent photo of Nathan Starks.
Then, however, Caplis says Starks experienced "the one bad week in his whole career -- he violated a couple of school rules. We're not talking about the details of that, but there was no law enforcement involvement and nobody got hurt."
Nonetheless, Starks was told "you're done here -- you're out," Caplis continues.
This edict was subsequently reversed by the Bishop Gorman principal, who'd been out of town when the original decision was made. According to Caplis, "Nathan was allowed to finish the school year from home. He came back to school for finals and was allowed to visit coaches. And he was invited to reapply at Bishop Gorman for his senior year and got strong feedback that he'd be readmitted."
Before he could apply, however, Nathan's mom, Korey Knotts, decided to move out of Nevada. The decision wasn't football-related, Caplis emphasizes: "She lost her job in December, causing financial hardship, and the family was going through a divorce -- and she'd notified the school back in January that they might have to relocate."

I am considering using bottom heat for rooting some cuttings. Has anyone ever used a waterbed heater to provide bottom heat? The commercial mats are expensive, and don't have a thermostat. A waterbed heater is larger and ahs a thermostat already. My concern would be that the heat couldn't be set low enough. Thanks, Jeff |
