Butler University, located in Indianapolis, is hosting one week of Nike Swim Camp for the sixth consecutive summer in 2016. Stroke instruction includes start, turn, and finish work, dryland practice sessions, underwater video analysis, and fun games for all campers.
Located in the Butler-Tarkington neighborhood, on a 295-acre campus, five miles from downtown Indianapolis the Nike Swim Camp at Butler University is designed to help competitive swimmers improve their stroke technique so they can compete at the next level.
The future of the Butler women's swimming team has become increasingly bright as the Head Coach, Maurice Stewart rebuilds a culture and attitude of success into the women's swim team. Coach Stewart, who enters his 9th season, is reshaping the swim team dynamic and team cohesiveness with a very young and talented squad of freshmen and sophomores. This foundational class of student-athletes has already achieved success earning three regular season wins which is the most since 2007, and six athletes enter the All-Time Top 10 performance list in 14 different events compared to five in the 2009-2010 season. This year, and future accomplishments will lead the way to excite and persuade future prospects to attend Butler University which will create a winning tradition that Butler Swimming can and will achieve!
Since directing the women's program in 2007-08, the team has made steady progress in both the classroom and pool. The Bulldogs have tallied multiple performances that rank among the top-10 marks in school history along with several school records. Most noteworthy, the team defeated Valparaiso at the 2010 Horizon League Championship meet, which is the first time Butler has defeated a conference team at the championship meet in over 8 years.
The program has also thrived in the classroom as swimmers such as Sarah Lynne Gates, Katie Krueger, Momo Wilson, Megan Wesler, Elizabeth Shafer and many more have been named to the All-Horizon League Academic team. Moreover, the squad has been recognized as an "Academic All-American Team" by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America achieving a 3.25 or higher team GPA every semester that Coach Stewart has been at the helm.
Coach Stewart has extensive collegiate and USA Swimming club experience prior to arriving at Butler. He served as an assistant coach at Auburn for two seasons under Head Coach David Marsh. During that time, the Tigers won the men's NCAA Championships in both 2004 & 2005, while the women's team won the national championship title in 2004. Prior to arriving at Auburn, Stewart was the Head Coach at the Sugar Creek Swim Club in St. Louis, Mo for four years, where he coached several sectional and Junior National level athletes.
Check-in takes place between 12:30pm-1:30pm at Residential College on Sunday, July 12th.
Camp will conclude on Thursday, July 16th with a closing ceremony at 11:30am.

Daily instruction takes place at The Butler University Health and Recreation Complex (HRC). It opened in the fall of 2006 and is the practice home for the Bulldog women's swimming team. The six-lane pool give the squad an on-campus site for conditioning and training.
My daughter really enjoyed the Nike Swim Camp. She took the stroke & turn camp right before competing in the state championship. I truly believe the underwater video analysis helped correct some of the issues that are missed in everyday practice. She said she definitely wants to go back next year!
The Nike Swim Camp at Butler University was wonderful. Not only did my two children learn great swimming techniques they also had an amazing time with their friends, both old and new, during the overnight camping experience. We had not seen them in 4 days ( and it was their first overnight camp ) and before they even said hi or gave us a hug they asked if they could please come back to camp next year! Given their excitement how could we say no? Looking forward to next year, Mom of a 10 and 11 year old camper.
I really like the technique we worked on. It was reallly nice how we got rewarded for doing our best. Overall the staff was really nice. I really enjoyed when we had the fun contests in the pharmacy building. I liked that on the last day we got to have some 'free pool time' before we left.
This is my second year going to Nike Swim camp at Butler, I love going every year. The instructors do a great job teaching us new things and helping us improve on other areas. They also make it fun and rewarding to go there.
This camp is no longer available this season.
Please call us at 1-800-645-3226 if you would like help finding another camp, or join our email list to be notified of 2016 programs.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - On any given day about 140 people are taken to hospital emergency rooms in Nevada for a mental evaluation. Only about half of them have problems, psychiatric or physical, requiring inpatient care.
That and other statistics presented to a state panel Wednesday provided a sobering snapshot of Nevada's mental health system that has come under criticism in recent months amid allegations that patients were bused out of state.
Gov. Brian Sandoval created the 18-member Behavioral Health and Wellness Council by executive order in December. The council that includes members of law enforcement, judges, legislators, mental health and budget experts will assess Nevada's mental health system and recommend improvements.
Problems are especially acute in southern Nevada, where the Clark County jail is where most people are identified as having mental illness.

"She went along with her life, got along with it and tried to best operate as she could, with the limitations that were dealt to her because of this," her nephew Brent Knauss said Friday. "She was a classy lady, she always looked on the bright side of things."
More than thirty years after the shooting that changed her life, her death is being called a homicide.
The Lehigh County coroner's office recently determined complications from the April 1982 shooting led to the Orefield woman's Feb. 18 death at an Allentown hospital.
Harrisburg police have renewed their investigation into the incident in which the shop owner also was shot, possibly by a man carrying a homemade weapon.
Solving it may require a stroke of luck, said Brent Knauss, a Cooperstown, N.Y., propane sales businessman. He was 13 when his aunt was shot, and remembers how the crime transformed what had seemed to him her "fairy tale" life, including a nice new home and a thriving hair salon business.
"This is 30 years later and there's still somebody that caused this. Who knows—that person could be dead. That person could see the article and feel guilty and say they did it. You never know," he said.
Linda Knauss had come to Harrisburg that day with her husband Ron to shop at The Plum, owned then and now by Isaac Mishkin, the other shooting victim. They planned to see Mishkin's new home and have dinner together.
Mishkin was closing up and turning out the lights when Ron Knauss, since deceased, started to go out the front door.
"He said, 'We seem to have a problem here,'" Mishkin said this week. "What he meant was there was a man with a gun saying, 'Get back in there.' So we did."
The assailant said something like "I'm going to blow you away," Mishkin said.
It was about then that he was shot in the chest, the bullet passing a half-inch from his heart.
Mishkin said he did not at first realize he was shot, but a responding police officer saw the blood. He doesn't remember seeing Linda Knauss shot, and he can't recall what the suspect looked like. The bullet remains lodged in his body.
Mishkin said he has "a faint memory of having my hand on his hand and taking the gun away." He said police recovered the gun, which he recalled as a homemade weapon that fired a .22-caliber bullet.
Dauphin County District Attorney Ed Marsico said Friday a member of his staff was meeting with city police to assess the matter. He also wants to hear from the forensic pathologist about the link between the shooting and her death.
If they can get a solid description of the suspect, it may be released publicly to see if it jogs any memories. A robbery around that same time in another part of town could possibly be linked, Marsico said.
Linda Knauss remained a customer of The Plum until the last few weeks of her life, getting clothes mailed to her and then sending back anything she did not want.
Her nephew said she lost the use of one arm and the other arm was very limited, and her left leg was nearly entirely disabled. She continued to operate hair salons in Allentown, and could drive a car, but had to cope with many restrictions as a result.
Her death came to the attention of the coroner's office when the funeral home sought permission for a cremation last month. That led to an investigation that ultimately concluded it was homicide.
Harrisburg Police Lt. Robert Fegan said this week the shooting was reported as a robbery, and that the assailant had been subdued but jumped up and ran away.
"It's just tragic—this poor woman was injured severely and suffered for all these years," Fegan said. "It's quite disturbing."

Now I want to start fresh on this forum, so I would appreciate anyone who read my dressage post to put it behind them and help me on another subject, preferably with more constructive criticism this time.
Ok, so,
I recently (September) bought a TB X Andalusian gelding, 15 years old named Corey. Apparently he was an eventer before I got him, but recently I tried to jump him and he is EXTREMELY strong and rushes the jumps. I don't want to use a double bridle on him as I've never used one before, but my normal bit are not doing their job. I've tried:-
*Eggbutt jointed snaffle
*Lugging/racing/ring bit
*Western curb (which he hated)
*Dee-ring copper roller snaffle
In the eggbutt, its like riding him in a halter. In the ring bit, he is a little better but opens his mouth, the western curb made him tuck his head in as if he were doing rollkur and if I put pressure on the reins he stopped and jogged and threw his head. The Dee snaffle was a bit better but he reefed and he throws his head with the gag.
I need help as he has good form over jumps when he gets over the jump and he's very bold

Lessons Learned from our First Infographic
Linkbaiting content pieces like infographics have never been more popular. If you want to grow your links and improve your ranking, creating quality shareable and linkable content is the way to go. We really weren't sure what was in store for us when we created our first infographic and we learned a lot along the way.
Crowdsourcing is Hit or Miss
Not all infographics require them, but we wanted our first infographic to be powerful and professional, so we decided that we would need an illustration for the primary imagery on the piece. We didn't want to pay a lot as we were already putting in a ton of resources into this piece so we decided to try a crowdsourcing web site to get the illustration done. For those that don't know, crowdsourcing is a bit like eBay, but the other way around. You post your project and set the price you are willing to pay. In our case a number of illustrators submitted their entries. If there's one you like, you award the project and declare a winner who gets the amount you specified. The site we used - Crowdspring - was fairly low risk as we would have been out a nominal posting fee had we not received a submission we liked.
At first, I didn't hold out much hope that we were going to get something we could use. The submissions ranged from bad to, well, worse.
Then, as soon as we had all but given up we received the following illustration that pretty much drove the rest of the layout.
It's A LOT of Work
If there's anything I took away from Eric Ward's presentation last year at SES Chicago it's that "any link worth getting is a lot of work". Infographics are a LOT of work. I can count at least 10 people that were involved in the project. Starting from data collection to design to final distribution we put immeasureable resources into this piece.
Granted, we really didn't know what we were doing and we took extra time to plan but we started collecting data in August and didn't get this puppy out til mid-December. We learned a lot in the process and were able to get our second infographic done much more quickly.
It's all about Distribution
I'm not encouraging anyone to create an inferior product, but you really don't need to put together a stunning visual to have a successful infographic. To achieve your goals it's more about distribution. Here are some things you should do and/or think about related to distribution:
- identify distribution targets
- build lists
- contact targets more than once
- have a social media strategy
- make it shareable
- send a press release
- share with relevant industry associations and contacts
- send personal emails when possible
- encourage commentary
- encourage bloggers to make it their own
- submit to infographic aggregators
- use industry influencers as sources
Give Them Many Ways to Consume
It may seem like overkill, but we gave our readers seven different ways to consume and share the infographic outside of social media. Many of these strategies came post-launch by way of request from our readers...
- multiple embeddable images, including a thumbnail version
- YouTube video
- SlideShare presentation
- a "printable" PDF
In the End, It's Worth It
Despite the amount of work required, it was well worth the resource outlay. Our infographic is one of our most linked to URL's on our process serving network (over 65 linking domains) and has had thousands of views, not including the off-site views - YouTube, SlideShare, Facebook, etc. Our readers were socially engaged with comments, likes and tweets.
There are also the immeasurable benefits of trust and authority that come from creating something that supports and helps an industry. One client shared with us that she used the data to help sway a client to hire her. We had other clients tell us they have it printed out and hung up at the office. Those are the stories that you can't put a dollar value on or measure in Google Analytics when you are so closely tied to and dependent upon an industry.
And perhaps, most important, it was a lot of fun! It was an exercise that brought all our groups together to create something we can be proud of.
About our Infographic, and Credits
If you haven't seen the infographic to which I'm referring, you can check it out on ServeNow, a site that helps legal professionals find trusted process servers (amongst other things they deliver important legal documents). Paralegals and lawyers often have the choice between a sheriff or a professional process server. The bottom line is that the process server is going to be your best option.
I'd like to take all the credit, of course, for putting this piece together but that needs to go to our incredible team at Lawgical. In no particular order (Dom, Ian, Beth, Kimberly, Jeremy, and our developers).
Special thanks to Mike Belasco and Mike Vallano at SEOverflow (the best SEO in Denver) for inspiring us to create great content for our industries and to run like the wind from crappy SEO tactics.

DONETSK, Ukraine (AP) - A top rebel leader says the eastern city of Donetsk is surrounded by Ukrainian troops and his forces are willing to accept a cease-fire in order to stave off a humanitarian catastrophe.
There was no immediate government response to the statement Saturday from Aleksandr Zakharchenko, the so-called prime minister of the Donetsk separatists.
The thunder of artillery reverberated through the nearly deserted streets of Donetsk, the largest rebel-held city.
Russia, which the Ukrainian government and Western countries allege is supporting the rebels, has called repeatedly for a humanitarian mission into eastern Ukraine. But Kiev and the West suggest that could be just a pretext to send in Russian forces.
Zakharchenko's statement could be aimed at increasing the international pressure to allow in a Russian mission.

What is this to you other than words that rhyme?
What is this to you other than a wast of time?
My feelings I write on this paper to you
As easy as it sounds, it's hard to do
My feelings come right from my heart
But on this paper is nothing but art
But still I try to help you see
The silence hurts
But the distance is what's killing me
For you, I stay up all night crying
Not having you would literally be like dying
Just to have you, I'd do anything
To hurt you, I'd do no such thing
Because of you I smile everyday
To make you happy, I'd find a way
And when you cry
Your tears I'll dry
When you're scared I'll hold you tight
Close to me all through the night
I'm losing sleep over you
Is this the same for you too?
No one knows what these feelings mean
This feeling seems to come unseen
But I have an idea of what it could be
It's way beyond anything I've ever felt
And this feeling I know not so very well
But know it wel enough that in me it dwells
This feeling is love everlasting
The very feeling that keeps me alive and breathing

The MBA Case Conference is the culmination of the Strategic MBA program. Students in the Strategic Management course (MGMT 6359) team up to compete in a case competition. Using all the knowledge, tools, and analytical skills they have learned in their finance, operations, marketing, accounting, economics, and management courses students work all semester long to review and assess a firm's strengths and weaknesses and to identify opportunities and threats. Based on their analyses, students then offer strategic and insightful recommendations. In past semesters students have presented their analyses and recommendations for companies such as Apple, WalMart, PetSmart, Nucor Steel, and Compaq. Panels of judges – consisting of faculty, alumni, and local business people – sit in on each presentation, and judge students on content and presentation skills.
The MBA Conference is held on a Saturday morning, the last week of the semester. The winning teams are announced at a noontime luncheon, which includes a keynote speaker. Past speakers include Mr. Mike Willis, Chairman of the Willis Group, a leading executive staffing firm; Farouk Shami, Chairman of Farouk Systems, makers of well-known brands such as BioSilk and Chi; Ravi Kathuria, Founder and president of Cohegic, a management consulting, executive coaching and sales coaching firm; and Mr. Richard, a highly acclaimed speaker, trainer, consultant and author. Students typically comment that the case competition is one of the most challenging, yet most rewarding and valuable experiences of the MBA program. The confidence and teamwork skills they gain from this "real life" exercise is invaluable and is a springboard to future success!

To get you in the festive spirit I have designed a set of printable bottle labels in Santa suits! Featuring a 2014 Santa hat on the bottle neck, Santa's beard and Red outfit with belt on the main label and not forgetting a hessian style Santa's Sack gift tag to finish it off. I used red and white butchers twine around the tag and tied some jute string around the top of the sack label.
They would be perfect to leave out for Father Christmas on Christmas Eve or as a cute table decoration on Christmas Day.

|In Vitro Activity of Extract and Fractions of Natural Cocoa Powder on Plasmodium falciparum.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22248179 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Abstract Several flavonoids isolated from certain plants have demonstrated antiplasmodial activity, after their initial indigenous use in malaria treatment. Cocoa has been found to be a rich food source of flavonoids in comparison with many common foods and beverages. The aim of this work was to investigate the in vitro activity of natural cocoa powder on the growth of Plasmodium falciparum. Prepared crude methanol extract was partitioned successively with petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, chloroform, and butanol. Total flavonoid concentration in the crude methanol extract and fractions was measured by the AlCl(3) colorimetric assay. Direct inhibitory activity of the natural cocoa powder was assessed by culturing extract and fractions with P. falciparum in vitro. Greater antiplasmodial activity was observed in nonpolar solvent fractions (chloroform, ethyl acetate, and petroleum ether) compared with polar solvents. The chloroform fraction was most active, with mean±SEM 50% and 90% inhibition concentrations of 48.3±0.9 and 417±7.8 μg/mL, respectively. The study showed a weak association between total flavonoid concentration and antiplasmodial activity. Early trophozoite (ring-stage) synchronized cultures treated with the chloroform fraction of natural cocoa powder showed a decline in growth. Further reduction in parasitemia was also observed for other erythrocytic stages. These results suggest that natural cocoa powder has measurable direct in vitro inhibitory effect on P. falciparum and support the anecdotal reports of its ability to prevent malaria as a result of regular intake as a beverage.

The Industrial Revolution
Imagine living in a world in which rights governed society. The people participate in a free market, and property is seen as "an inviolable and sacred right" that cannot be taken away.(1) This glorious idea is called liberalism. Liberalism emerged whole-heartedly during the Nineteenth-century Industrial Revolution. Followers of liberalism believe in the rights of the individual, especially the right to property. Early in its developement, this idea caused deep clashes between the middle class, called the bourgeoisie, and the working class, called the proletariat. These clashes created opposition to the liberal movement; communism became the supporter of this opposition.
Many philosophers pushed the development of liberalism. The most persuasive were Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and John Stuart Mill. Smith is often considered the founder of liberalism. Smith "looked forward to a new world, which would escape the sophistry and meanness of medieval Christian thought, but would recourse to...authoritarian political oppression."(2) Smith wanted to make profits with little risk involved. He also believed a constitutional government would prevent government intervention with markets. Free markets allowed for more and cheaper goods, and they would benefit the greatest amount of people the greatest amount of the time. This was called laissez-faire. Smith also believed the state should be responsible for the "stipends of the priests."(3) This was government intervention of an individual right, freedom of religion. Because of Smith's beliefs towards religion, he was somewhat unpopular among Nineteenth-century liberals. These liberals chose to disregard Smith as the founder and preferred to regard David Ricardo as the founder of liberalism. Liberalism is defined as economy based on capitol. Ricardo wrote The Iron Law of Wages, which described the natural rise and fall of wages. He believed more children were produced when wages were high. When these children entered the workplace, the increase in able-laborers would lower wages. Then, fewer children would be born because they would not be affordable. Soon, a labor shortage would develop and wages would rise. Then the cycle would begin again.(4) If the government pushed for higher wages, the labor force would never decrease. In fact, it would always increase because wages would be high. Soon, there would be too many laborers and not enough money, leading the country into a depression. Another philosopher who pushed the liberal movement was John Stuart Mill. In 1859, Mill wrote On Liberty, which defines the beliefs of liberalism. He believed "human beings were motivated principally by self-interest and that individual freedom was a cherished necessity." (5) In this document, Mill comments on the rights of the individual. These rights include any "part of life in which it is chiefly the individual that is interested."(6) In other words, the individual should be free to govern one's self. All three of these philosophers pushed for individual freedoms and suppression of the government's power over the market. Only the individual would be able to make and change society through the market.
The Industrial Revolution actually began as early as the 1760s. During this time, a population decrease caused an energy lapse, which in turn caused an increase in the cost of Cottage Industry. Cottage Industry was the production of goods in the home; many bourgeoisie had money invested in this way of production. The bourgeoisie paid the workers higher wages with hopes that the peasants would produce more goods. Instead of producing more, the workers only worked less to receive the same amount of money. The workers were happy at the level they lived life. In their extra time, the workers were often found at taverns and doing absolutely nothing.
The bourgeoisie thought these acts by the workers were sinful, and they wanted to help "save" them. In order to help the workers, the bourgeoisie began industry. This idea kept workers busy and out of taverns, and it also let the bourgeoisie control their investments. Here they could observe and control the workers, called the proletariat. The working days were very strenuous some lasted sixteen hours, beginning at five in the morning and ending at nine in the evening.(7) Industrialist also began to control wages, making them excessively low.
During this time, middle class life was very well off. Families valued children, marriage, and hired servants. Children were often sent to schools and educated at least throughout high school. Women were set on a pedestal and often not forced to work. Hired servants performed jobs women fulfilled during the Old Regime. The middle class also began to marry for love. This became a very important ideal because people could afford to support themselves. Marriage was not needed just for money, procreation, and other assets, so it could be based on love.(10)
The proletariat lived an oppressed life. Women, men, and children had to work in factories in order to live. In these proletariat communities, ideas of the Old Regime still existed. For example, common law marriages, which were arranged marriages, still took place. Also, there was little privacy because the living quarters were very cramped. Therefore, the problems of one person often became the problems of the entire community.
Child labor was introduced during this period because families needed the money. Unfortunately for the children labor was very difficult and crude. The children were not educated, and they worked sixteen-hour shifts like the adults. The children were often abused at work. For example, in one factory the over-looker chained or whipped the children when they did not meet factory production needs. The children would not complain about the pain because they might get fired. In the future, companies would not hire them because the children would have poor working records.
With all this unfair employment, unions began to emerge. Unfortunately, they were considered illegal during most of the Industrial Revolution. The reason for this was because Adam Smith, the founder of liberalism, believed unions interfered with the free market by taking away the right of free property. Also, unions pushed for higher wages, which was against The Iron Law of Wages. The bourgeoisie also claimed unions would make the workers as lazy as before the rise of industry.
If a free market amounted to the greatest amount of individuals the greatest amount of the time, why were so many individuals unhappy? Socialists were the first to ask this question and find reasons for it. Their answer was that the bourgeoisie was alienating the proletariat. By alienated, they meant that capitalists took advantage of the proletariat's human nature to produce goods. Capitalism was a community effort, but only the middle class factory owners benefited from the profits. By exploiting the proletariat, capitalists stripped noble professions of their humanness, turned the family relation into a money relation, and turned human labor into a commodity based on supply and demand.(11) There were two major types of socialism: Owenism and Marxism.
Robert Owen believed workers that lived and worked in pleasant conditions were more productive because they were happy. They were more productive than those working for liberals in factories. Owen made his workers happy by providing them with nice housing and admirable schools for the children. He offered incentives for the individual to work harder, and he fed his workers well. Because Owen believed industry was a community effort, he gave his workers a nice community to live and work in.
Karl Marx may be considered to have the strongest opposition to liberalism. Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto, which challenged capitalism. He believed capitalism caused growing problems between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. Marx wrote "capital is a growing collective product, ...a social power," so he thought the wealth should have been divided equally among the individual workers, not just the industrialists.(12) Later, this way of thinking would give support for the Communist movement in Russia during the 1900s.
Socialists are the principle believers of this notion: "industrialization threatened to make the skills of artisans useless and to deprive them of control over their trades. All workers faced possible unemployment with little or no provision for their security."(13). They based thier work on the fact that during the Nineteenth century, liberalism left life for the individual among the proletariat far from grand and ranked the middle class individual high in society. Liberalism, which caused these class seperations, originated through early philosophers, such as Adam Smith. These philosophers set guidelines based on individual rights in order to improve society. In the Wealth of Nations, Smith wrote that government places "high duties and prohibitions upon all those foreign manufacturers which can come into competition of their own.... [This competition] is advantageous to the great body of the people."(14) Governments had to be suppressed in order to keep this competition, and therefore make the greatest amount of individuals happy the greatest amount of the time.

Used to steamy tropical sites and temps suited for bath water, I found them by accident in the center of London just outside the park. Clustered tightly – a straight pin inserted between would definitely cause damage; the perfect balance of weight and whimsy, one of the most beautiful things I've seen, delicate, viscose like, enigmatic and literally turned upside down.
Ever hungry and on alert though you wouldn't know it to watch them, and watch them I did, it's what I do. Watch. I'm addicted to watching – people, animals, the wind through the trees. Break the spell to question what I'm thinking about, I can't reply. It's easiest to say I'm thinking of nothing and risk my inquisitor thinking I'm nuts, or just rude.
So on this day, with knees aching and thighs burning from crouching too long to gain the best vantage point, I watched as they drank in the light and sensuously moved their snow-white bodies slowly across the ebony field. I never saw them take a break, only dance an ethereal production.
Days later now and I can't erase these images from my mind. Surrounded by people, some familiar, some strangers, noise, weather, traffic, all that ails the world, all that salves it and I am stuck – enamored with Casiopea Andromeda – upside down jellyfish.

Narrowing my choices of ZTR's.
Well, so far I have demoed a Great Dane Chariot and a Gravely PM260Z. I hate to say it, but I thought the handling of the Gravely was terrible. I'm sure it had something to do with the set-up of this machine, but I didn't like it near as much as the Great Dane.
With the Great Dane, I have a good local dealer, but I'm afraid of parts availability and reliability based on what I've read here.
That leaves me with Hustler and Scag. I'll be demoing a Super Z (25HP Kaw, 60" deck) on Saturday, but the local dealer is only going to let me drive it around for a little while on my property...not a really long demo, but better than nothing.
Besides the Super Z, I'm looking into the Scag Wildcat (27HP Kohler, 61" deck). The only one a local dealer has to demo is the Tiger Cub, but I figured that would be close enough to give me the feel of the Wildcat.
Anyway, what are your opinions on these two machines? The only thing that scares me about the Wildcat is the size of the pumps (10cc vs. 21cc on the Super Z). I don't know how important the pump size is...
Pump size= speed. I would tell you Hustler all the way, But if the dealer won't even let you do a real demo, on your own property, how do you think he will treat you for service or parts. I'd tell him to get bent, and get the Scag. It will last you a long time at your home. If you maintain it right, your grandkids might inherit it from you.. I hope I helped, And myself I'd really rather have the Hustler, but no way I'd buy a machine I couldn't demo properly. But you are ahome owner, correct? If so, you'll be miles ahead if you have a Good dealer on your side... Just my nickel
May peace and blessing from the LORD be with you, Fellow Hot Rod Freaks!!
If the dealer won't let you demo the way a demo should be done, tell him to pack it in. The Scag is a great product - I demo'd one and loved it but my closest Scag dealer was over an hour away.
Pump size on the Wildcat is 10cc but that's really not that huge of an issue in my view - up until recently, most pumps used were of the 10cc size. What is even more critical is how you keep the hydraulic oil cool and the size of the reservoir - a small reservoir will require auxilliary cooling since retention time in the reservoir is less due to size.
And, 21cc is almost overkill unless you're going to be mowing a LOT of acreage in a day, day in and day out. The Hustler is a great machine but between the two, it would be hard to choose if the dealers were equal in service.
Since they (the dealers) are not equal, I would get the Scag and never look back. However, you might also ask about the Turf Tiger - there's a chance you might be able to pick one of those bad, bad boys up at an end-of-the-season price for not a whole lot more than the Wildcat if you can shop around.
Good luck!
Wapakoneta, Ohio
I'm sorry about your Hustler dealer because if you could run the 27 or 28 hp with the 60" deck on the Super Z you would not even care about trying another mower.
Farm Mower
The deal with the Hustler is defintely a bummer. I already decided that if I like it, I would buy from a dealer in the Chicago suburbs. They gave me a great price over the phone, and seem like a good place to work with.
The downfall is that I would then have to take it there for service, and that is an hour away. I don't really mind the drive if it's once or twice a year max.
I guess I'll see how the demo goes. So now it's between a good local dealer (Scag), and a good dealer an hour away (Hustler)....
what didn't you like about the handling on the gravely?
Efficiency = Profit
On the Gravely I had a hard time going straight. If I pushed the two levers the same, it would turn to the right. Since I'm new to the whole zero-turn thing, I would end up over compensating and going back and forth. Also I wasn't too keen on how far I had to push the levers to drive at any kind of reasonable speed. If I drove where my arms were relaxed, I found myself going extremely slow and I had the seat as far forward as possible.
More importantly, I found the front end to be too light. When I was mowing one time I backed up and went forward a little too fast and the front end came up. I would be scared something like that would happen to my wife if she were mowing up and down our hill in the back yard. I could see her trying to trim around some stuff on the hill, going in reverse and then wanting to go forward and the front end coming up. If something like that happened, I would NEVER get her back on the mower again!
I know there is a weight kit for it, but I don't believe I should have to buy a weight kit just to mow my yard when there are other equally capable machines out there in the same price range.
getting the machine to straighten out isn't a big deal you can adjust the valve i believe.
i know what you mean with the seat position, i'm 6' and i usually find myself sitting forward in the seat. i've found that i can sit in the back and grab the controls just above the knuckle and control it comfortably and at a decent speed.
i get the 'oh crap i almost went over' stomach butterfles about once a week when i really push it to the max on the hills. it happened today
It's too bad the gravely didn't work out. i really like mine.
Efficiency = Profit
I think it's too bad also...I was really thinking that would be the one I get, they have a good name and the financing available is good too. I guess it really does pay to demo!
Most all Zs have adjustable hand levers for operator size.

East Allegheny teachers pack meeting in display of solidarity
East Allegheny School District teachers packed the board meeting on Monday evening in a sign of solidarity.
About 50 teachers attended the session wearing blue shirts with yellow lettering with the message, "Standing up for the teachers means standing up for our kids."
None of them spoke during the meeting.
"We're here to show that we're still working," said East Allegheny Education Association president Cheryl Ihnat after the meeting. "We're currently in our second year of working without a contract, and we want to make our presence continually known ... Our group is united. We are strong. We are still working for our kids, and we're doing our best to keep doing that. Our community needs to know we're working without a contract."
The district's 128 teachers have worked without a contract since the end of the 2011-12 school year.
Contract negotiations between the district and East Allegheny Education Association officials remain at an impasse. The last official negotiation session took place on Dec. 11, when school directors agreed to step away from the talks and allow legal counsel Michael Palombo to represent the district.
"I guess they were just here to show their solidarity," school board president Gerri McCullough said after Monday's meeting. "The board members are no longer negotiating. We've turned it over to labor counsel, so they really wouldn't have had much to say to us ... Our negotiation team will be meeting with (legal) counsel continuously."
McCullough said board members decided to remove themselves from the negotiations because "we were just at a standstill."
The board president said the only progress made involves language for teacher evaluations, which is mandated by the state Department of Education.
"Everything else is money, and that's where the disagreement is, money," school director Frederick Miller said.
He said the district is faced with increasing pension, health care and cyber/charter school costs, but declined to release specific figures.
"These escalating costs are continuing to strain the budget, and we don't want to raise taxes because we're already very high," Miller said. "It's like, 'What do we do?' The teachers want more money, so how do we balance all that? It's a tough balancing act, and it makes negotiations difficult. I understand where the teachers are coming from ... Just because we didn't come to a negotiation contract doesn't mean they don't do a good job. We believe they do a very good job. We just have difficulty funding what they desire."
"(Teachers) are deserving, but our taxpayers are also deserving of relief," said treasurer and school director Roxanne Sakoian Eichler.
Ihnat declined to discuss possible terms or contract proposals.
"We've had ongoing negotiations for the past year and a half," Ihnat said. "I can't go into details."
She did say Pennsylvania State Education Association UniServ representative Robert Myers is involved in contract talks.
School directors unanimously adopted a resolution that indicates the board will not raise taxes for the 2014-15 fiscal year by more than its Act 1 index of .8547 mills. The current millage rate is 27.54.
"We have no intention of raising taxes whatsoever," McCullough said.
Superintendent Roger D'Emidio recognized school directors Frank Pearsol and Eichler. He presented plaques from the Pennsylvania School Boards Association to Pearsol for eight consecutive years of service, and to Eichler for 24 consecutive years of service.
D'Emidio said Pearsol served 20 years on the board, but not consecutively.
The superintendent praised all school directors, as January is School Board Recognition Month.

|Use of a retrievable metallic stent internally coated with silicone to treat airway obstruction.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 18656015 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|PURPOSE: The authors hypothesized that internally covered stents can reduce the rates of stent migration or mucous retention. The authors performed this study to report their experience with use of a retrievable metallic stent internally coated with silicone in patients with benign or malignant central airway obstructions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From 2004 to 2007, the authors performed fluoroscopically guided placement of a retrievable metallic stent internally coated with silicone in 26 consecutive patients with benign (n = 5) and malignant (n = 21) central airway obstructions. Stents were woven from a single thread of a 0.2-mm-diameter nitinol wire in a tubular configuration and internally covered with silicone membrane. RESULTS: Stent placement was technically and clinically successful in 93% (25/26) and 85% (22/26) of the patients, respectively. There were eight complications (31%) after stent placement, including tumor overgrowth (n = 2), stent migration (n = 1), symptomatic granulation tissue formation (n = 1), severe pain (n = 1), improper stent location (n = 1), symptomatic sputum retention (n = 1) and esophagobronchial fistula (n = 1). Because of complications, five stents were removed with a retrieval hook under fluoroscopic guidance without difficulty. The median survival period and stent patency were 150.0 days +/- 91.4 and 143.0 days +/- 26.7, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The use of a retrievable metallic stent internally coated with silicone is a safe and effective method for relieving dyspnea, with adequate stent patency in patients with benign or malignant central airway obstructions. This stent design seems to be less prone to migration or mucous retention.

|Check to see if your body armor really fits
Submitted by:
Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith
Submitted by: Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith
When was the last time you checked your soft body armor?
Our bodies change and so does our gear; if you've lost or gained weight, started using a new duty belt, transitioned from wearing your armor next to your body to putting it in an outside carrier or made some other change that may affect how your vest fits, you need to take a good hard look at those panels that may someday save your life.
Does your vest ride too high, too low, or maybe not wrap around like it used to?
Do you dread putting on your armor, or worse yet, have you stopped wearing it because it's so uncomfortable?
It may be time for a new vest. Even if the department won't pay for one, if your vest does not fit, you need to get one that does! It also doesn't hurt to check the expiration dates, they don't last forever, but ask the hundreds of "saves" out there: soft body armor works, but it has to fit and you have to be wearing it properly. Check yours out.
Sergeant Betsy Smith has more than 30 years of law enforcement experience, retiring as a patrol supervisor in a large Chicago suburb.

MasterChef roundup: Meatballs, salmon balls and a lot of chilli powder
Last week saw three chefs survive the heats to compete in Friday's quarter final, with Oliver and Rukmini beating back Claire's mediocre tuile biscuits to ensure that they went through to the semi-final. And this week, 10 more hopefuls arrived to join them in the later stages of MasterChef's labyrinthine competition.
Wednesday's round eased us into that particular MasterChef absurdity with sales manager Sophie musing that she would be likely to get what she wanted because she's an Aries. After showing off about her excellent palate, Sophie delivered a plate of uncooked lentils that were so heavily spiced as to leave John's face simultaneously stinging and numb.
With the exception of Jill, whose lamb dish Gregg declared "perfectly divine", the invention test delivered a wishy-washy result, with doctor Toby and barman Leon offering up confused flavours and badly cooked lamb. Molecular gastronomist Paul served up a dish that despite having two sauces was dry and flavourless. We suppose Heston Blumenthal's not exactly quaking in his boots just yet.
The palate test saw them try their hands at a bowl of meatballs and pasta. So far so simple, but of course it was chock-full of a mixture of herbs, meats and techniques, which none of the contestants managed to identify fully. In a moment of sheer panic Paul loaded his meatballs with minced beef, pork, chicken and lamb, and bacon for good measure. He ruefully cried "my pasta's a disaster!". But it couldn't be as bad as Sophie's which was too thick by half and Leon's which was bafflingly cut into post-it size squares. Unimpressed by their pasta efforts, the judges sent Sophie and Leon packing.
At One-O-One Knightsbridge Toby was given a duck dish to handle, which saw him slammed with orders (as is de rigueur with meatier dishes in the pro-kitchen stage of Masterchef) while the other two managed much better. Toby served up lamb and lentils that, despite tasting OK, looked like "a dog's dinner". It meant that he ended up sent home even though Paul served up a starter that missed a vital component, and a wet soggy main course that was also half-finished. Jill was by far and away the star of this episode, serving up a practically perfect sea bass with a beurre blanc that made John purr.
Thursday brought five more hopefuls who had to wrestle with pears and Dover sole for the invention test. Masseuse Sophie impressed with her stuffed baked pear, while Kieron presented John and Gregg with woefully overcooked fish and an acrid, burnt sauce. Martin set himself the task of stuffing a flat fish and found himself wanting.
In the palate test, the contestants were expected to create a delicious confection of crusted lamb cutlets and a skordalia – basically a complex potato puree. Sophie overcooked her lamb but her beetroot side salsa was pronounced "heavenly". Andrew lost the plot, presenting a terrible dish that let Gregg and John down after his great performance in the invention test. After managing to burn and undercook his lamb, Kieron was shown the door along with Martin.
At One Twenty One Two Sophie, Farhana and Andrew were worked hard, with Sophie tasked with creating cous cous cakes. We misheard that as Christmas cake which was quite exciting. Andrew didn't perform very well in the professional kitchen, where his undercooked duck got him sent home much to Gregg's consternation. Farhana and Sophie join Paul and Jill in the quarter final tomorrow night, when they will cook for past MasterChef victors for a place in the semi-final, joining Oliver and Rukmini.
Gregg-ism of the Week: "You look excitable!"
Plat du are-you-sure?: Farhana's salmon balls. Salmon balls. We can't stress this enough. Salmon. Balls.Tagged in: food, masterchef
