Support Woodrow Wilson's Legacy
As a private foundation, the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library and Museum relies on the vital support of private individuals to achieve its mission of educating students, teachers, scholars, and visitors from around the world about President Wilson, his legacy, and his times.
did you know?
Wilson was president throughout World War I. He attempted to keep America out of the war and even won reelection with the slogan "He kept us out of war." Nonetheless, after the sinking of the Lusitania, continued run-ins with German submarines, and the release of the Zimmerman Telegram, America became involved. with the Lusitania, the continued harassment of American ships by German submarines, and the release of the Zimmerman Telegram meant that America joined the allies in April, 1917.
Woodrow Wilson was President when the 19th amendment was ratified in 1920 giving women the right to vote.
Wilson piloted the ship that brought America onto the world stage. He made the first steps of leading us out of isolationism, violating Washington's tenet of avoiding foreign entanglements.
He led America during World War I. His fervent hope was for the US to join a League of Nations, the precursor to the United Nations.
A Woodrow Wilson Quote: "Life does not consist in thinking, it consists in acting."
A Woodrow Wilson Quote: "The Constitution was not made to fit us like a straitjacket. In its elasticity lies its chief greatness."
A Woodrow Wilson Quote: "I believe in democracy because it releases the energies of every human being."
The Seventeenth Amendment was formally adopted on May 31, 1913. Wilson had been president for almost three months at the time. The amendment provided for the direct election of senators. Prior to its adoption, Senators were chosen by state legislatures.
Wilson was the first president to receive a PhD which he got in Political Science from Johns Hopkins University. He had received his undergraduate degree from the College of New Jersey, renamed Princeton University in 1896.
Woodrow Wilson could not read during the first decade of his life. Though undiagnosed, he may have suffered from a learning disability
Woodrow Wilson was known as "Tommy" until his college years.
Woodrow Wilson during his boyhood, helped establish the "Lightfoot Baseball Club" with his friends. Wilson played second base and was an avid sport fan throughout his adult life.
Woodrow Wilson was the first president to attend the Major League Baseball Fall Classic. He saw the debut of a young 20 year old pitcher by the name of George Herman "Babe" Ruth.
Woodrow Wilson was a graduate of Princeton University and Johns Hopkins University and the only president to hold an earned doctoral degree.

Upcoming Events & News
The goal and mission of the WWPL is to educate people of all ages about the life and times of Woodrow Wilson. We treat him as a human being with flaws, but also recognize his great contributions to American history. To understand Woodrow Wilson's racial views it is important to remember that he was a southerner, raised during the Civil War, whose views on race reflected those views of the majority of his contemporaries. Although reprehensible today, the practice of segregation was entirely in keeping with the popular will of the American people at that time. Wilson was not the first President to support segregation and he certainly was not the last. It is a sad fact that our Country's history from the very beginning includes slavery and racism. We shouldn't hide from that history, instead we should learn from it.Click Here for Details
Woodrow Wilson began law school at the University of Virginia in the fall of 1879. While a student there he courted his cousin Harriet Woodrow, a student at Augusta Female Seminary (now Mary Baldwin College) in his native Staunton. He and Hattie spent Christmas with their aunt Marian Woodrow and her husband James Bones, who lived in Staunton. He proposed to "Hattie" in 1881, but she rejected him because he was her first cousin.Click Here for Details

Arvindra has just given me the April copy of the Architects Journal; Journal2. It looks great (although the lime green is rather bold!) with a ton of SOA related materials covering agility, implementations and patterns amongst others.
We will be giving it away along with a load of other great architect related materials at the upcoming SOA UK architects forum on the 26th of April (see https://msevents-eu.microsoft.com/cui/EventDetail.aspx?culture=en-GB&eventid=118745260 ). Register soon because it's nearly sold out already.
You can sign up for the Journal at http://www.microsoft.com/uk/msdn/architecture/competition.asp and also be entered for a prize draw for a pocket PC. Additionally you can go to the online version at http://msdn.microsoft.com/architecture/journal after next week.
Anyway the April edition of the Journal looks great, excellent articles, a nice editorial by Arvindra and a thoughtful, forward looking and incisive foreword by someone who clearly knows about architecture… me! J
Read it now!
Hey Michael,
I was pretty interested to read the latest take on SOA and having seen that the second architects journal included some further information surfed over to the architecture/journal site. But I have to say, to go through a registration process to download it didn't appeal - perhaps if this was removed I'd be more inclined to take a look - just a suggestion :-)
Just had a look myself and I agree, I wouldnt either. I have taken this up with the folks in charge of the website and they have told me that they will make it better (eg take some of the questions off and fix some of the other issues). Thanks for the feedback

State to Honor Jacksonville Native Son James Weldon Johnson's Work Celebrated
Patton, Charlie, The Florida Times Union
When Jacksonville's native son James Weldon Johnson is inducted into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame Saturday, the surprise will be that it took so long.
The ceremony at Bethel Baptist Institutional Church, which will be attended by Secretary of State Katherine Harris, comes eight years after Stephen Caldwell Wright of Seminole Community College first nominated Johnson.
"They just didn't know who he was," said Wright, who credits Carolyn Williams, a history professor at the University of North Florida, and Sharon Coon, of Jacksonville's Tots 'N' Teens Theatre, with spearheading the efforts to reacquaint people with Johnson.
"There are people who really just don't know much about James Weldon Johnson," Williams said.
But that's not for lack of accomplishment. "I really am convinced that he is probably the most distinguished person that Florida has ever produced," Williams said.
Johnson had a breathtaking range of accomplishments. Born on June 17, 1871, he became, before the turn of the century, a newspaper publisher, the first black man ever admitted to the Florida Bar and the principal of Stanton School, which under his leadership expanded to include high school.
Having already begun writing lyrics for songs composed by his brother J. Rosamond Johnson, James Weldon Johnson moved to New York in 1901. Together with Bob Cole, they conquered the world of musical theater. The Johnson brothers collaborated on more than 200 songs. One was Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing, composed for the celebration of Lincoln's birthday in 1900. Adopted by the NAACP as the organization's official song, it has become known as the African-American national anthem.
From 1906 to 1913, Johnson served as consul, first to Venezuela, then to Nicaragua. Then from 1916 to 1920 he served as NAACP field secretary and from 1920 to 1930 as NAACP national secretary. From 1930 until his death in 1938, he taught literature at Fisk University.
He edited four books and wrote seven, among them The Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man (1912), a novel; God's Trombones (1927), epic poetry; Black Manhattan (1930), a sociological study; and Along the Way (1933), an autobiography.
"A diplomat, a poet, a teacher, an administrator, a lawyer, composer, novelist, editor, a fighter for the rights of his people and the rights of all, he played a major part in the historic developments of his span of life," said New York Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, eulogizing Johnson. "His many-faceted genius produced a variety of fine things."
Wright is more concise in his analysis of Johnson's accomplishments: "Native son and royal citizen."
Williams said she hopes this week's ceremonies can be the start of an annual festival along the lines of the festival in Eatonville that honors novelist Zora Neale Hurston. …

I'd be interested to hear from Paul on this:
I'm really struggling with something I heard in a course I'm on this weekend so much so that I am on this
at 5.30 in the morning (I'm in the UK). I'm on a weekend course learning what I can about Permacultute in the garden. I've been reading
, especially
and listening to various videos such as the ones from Scooter and others filmed by Paul and I totally 'get it' but........the course has put me back by teaching things that I know don't agree with as everything else makes better sense.
I've been listening to some of Paul's podcasts which I'm a bit behind on. I've heard about keeping the soil covered and not tilling the earth and using certain crops to break up clay soil. yesterday. the teacher has been teaching
for 10 years so in now way to I want to disrespect her but maybe I've been converted by Paul
I didn't agree (in my mind) when the teacher said she doesn't mulch her garden in Winter so the frost can kill off the slug and snail eggs and that mulching this time of year attracts them. i can see her point but surely this is not reflecting what should be taught within permaculture if we are to mimic nature and have the right systems in place? i'd
Also I told her what I was doing with the soil on my
which is clay and compacted by growing plants that have deep root systems, green manures and some mulching......she said some of those plants' roots won;t be able to get down anyway so to use a Chiver plough. Not sure what this is but I didn't agree with this either and thought what did man do before ploughs came along?
all of this really does bother me............crazy!!!
it's the second day of the course tomorrow in her garden so if anyone can help me with this before I'd appreciate it.
ps I'm not checking the grammar etc in this post as i'm going to try to get some shut eye. sorry those of you who are Englist teachers etc but I need my sleep especially now i have got this off my chest.

You're in the UK, which makes all the difference when it comes to slug control!!
I'm in Portugal now, and mulch is just about the greatest thing I ever discovered. We have enough frost here to kill most slug eggs, and it's hot and dry enough in the summer that the slugs never really get a hold, even under nice thick layers of mulch. A few roaming bantams seem to take care of just about anything else, and we have ducks in case we happen to find a gang of them anywhere that the bantams can't cope with.
My experience of mulch in the UK, however, was that wherever I put it became a breeding ground for slugs to the extent that they would wipe out pretty well anything I tried to plant through it. Maybe experiment with living mulches which don't encourage the slugs so much, or find a way to fit in
or ducks to your system - maybe a chicken
you could rotate over the area so they can scratch through the mulch, remove slug eggs, and fertilise the area at the same time.
I don't have much experience of clay but I think I would treat it as a challenge if anyone told me I couldn't break clay up just using plant roots. I guess it depends a bit how compacted it's become, but if I were you I'd take a whole load of before and after photos, research appropriate plants, and set out to demonstate a way to do the job *without* a plough.
I never heard of a chiver plough, but maybe she meant a
chisel plough
? There is a grain of truth in what she's saying - before ploughs came along I think the soil was in better condition and maybe would never have needed such drastic treatment, so just maybe one go over with a plough would get the whole system up and running faster. But, like I said, if I was in your shoes I'd just treat it as a challenge to find a better way

What works in one part of the world may not be the best solution somewhere else. There is no such thing as "Do it this way or it's not Permaculture." Think of your teachings as Guidelines rather than Rules.
Slugs love mulch. It keeps them warm and moist. While mulching is usually great for the soil, there are situations when it can create a slug problem. Using nature to help out by freezing the slugs is a fine solution. It may not be the only solution: some would say a plethora of slugs is a sign of a shortage of ducks. If ducks are not permitted by
ordinance or the preference of the steward, alternative solutions would be needed.
Questioning a teacher shows critical thinking. It is that critical thinking that will help you solve problems and use nature to your benefit. You'll go far.

Paul lives in Montana, you live in UK. Look up on the Internet about the differences in climate. You will be sure Paul is nuts for living in Montana because of how cold it gets.
For example, for seven months of the year, it is more likely that it will be below freezing on any given day, than not. When it is that cold, mulch isn't really going to matter that much regarding slugs over wintering.
Of course, I think anyone who lives where it ever is below freezing is nuts...
Take from the course the concepts, and it is useful to know what people are doing in your area who are into permaculture. But learn the concepts, the details change for location, and will keep changing for your location as your system matures.
An example, if I am starting with an open field and want to have a forest, I won't start with the
that represent a climax forest, but with pioneer species. For me, that would be Acacia, cebo, teak, etc. Not going to help you much in England I am afraid since those are all tropical trees, but the idea of starting with pioneers will help you a lot.

The regional differences are absolutely correct, re. how cold it gets in different regions, however, in the UK as with everywhere else, you don't get bare earth in nature, and of course you also don't get problem numbers of slugs or anything else, because nature's systems work.
Leaving the ground bare over winter seems contrary to the whole fundamental principle of mimicking nature's patterns, and could mean a lot of weeding and just seems like potentially a lot of unnecessary work.
I'd rather put my efforts into building a system of predators and prey, so put in ponds for the ducks, frogs and toads. Also put in plants that bear berries to encourage birds, which will also eat the slugs and snails. Ground beetles will eat slugs, so put in woodpiles to encourage them, and look into how to attract slow worms, or anything else that will eat slugs- hedgehogs etc.
If slugs are still a problem, grow green manures or winter crops over winter instead of mulching or leaving the earth bare, and try planting other things that the slugs will like to eat around the edges of the plot

Anytime you have a pest, your first thought should be "what wants to eat them" in my opinion. After all, protein is not to be despised, you just need to convert it into something you would like to eat, fish perhaps? Ducks adore slugs from what I have read as well.
Then again, snails are considered very tasty.

avoiding winter mulch is sometimes taken as gospel in slug regions. I'm in one such slug region, and I mulch heavily all year. there are more slugs around because of it. but there are also more slug predators, so it sort of comes out in the wash. the chickens help out, too, and ducks would get rid of them almost entirely.
the chisel plowing is similar. old Bill Mollison recommends chisel plowing under some conditions in the
Permaculture Designer's Manual
. many of the benefits can be achieved with plants, but it takes longer. so what's your priority? if you're in a big hurry, maybe a chisel plow is a reasonable option. just make sure to do it in the right season, or you may end up with worse compaction than you started with. if you prefer the plants and mulch option, make sure you're not expecting instant results, because you won't get them.
after operating tractors and assorted implements on some good friends' farm for ten years, I tend to avoid machinery for my own projects. slowing things down a bit has many advantages.
and like Ken said, dogma won't do any of us any good, so use your best judgment rather than abide anyone's rules.

permaculture books do recommend a chisel plow that doesn't turn the soil but only opens it up to a depth..which makes some sense esp in hardpacked soil..
also here in the US the real slug problems are more likely in the pacific northwest where the conditions are quite similar to UK..however..where paul lives he probably has very little slug problem as he is more inland..and not in the super rainy areas.
she probably has more experience with the surrounding areas so give her a break..each country will have much different problems..it is like comparing a hot desert to alaska !
gather as much material as you can and absorb it all.
I too have some differences with a lot of things taught my the main number of permies in this country, as they tend to be also in the northwest pacific areas..and I'm not..but I try to use common sense for the area I'm in and adjust.
Eventually us people that live elsewhere will have enough experience behind us to document what we have found and then there will be more various information out there.

Chiming in from the PNW, your climate brother. Over wintering garlic in your beds is your ideal tool if you don't want ducks. Plus as a bonus you get more garlic, and who doesn't like that

Hi Guys
thanks for your responses, they have been really helpful. I did mean chisel plough, my mistake. On my way back home from the course I did think about the different climates in this country and considered the idea of no mulching in the Winter for this reason. It does make sense to me but I've got it stuck in my head that nature covers the earth and doesn't plough except with pigs!
Thanks Ken for your faith in me.
I ask a lot of questions especially if something doesn't make sense. For me things have to fit like a jigsaw puzzle and if a piece is missing I want to know where to find it.
I totally respect the teacher and anyone that can teach any of these valuable ways. I was shocked though again today when the teacher pulled out a tub of slug pellets!!! (safe for birds and only used when necessary though they said) but it almost shattered anything I had learned about permaculture. I did mention copper though and got reassured on that one.
The weekend has been fab and only made me want to do a design course now. You guys have been my teachers too so thanks for this.

One more thought on the Bare Earth vs Mulching argument. When we say "Mother Nature doesn't like bare earth", we are talking scale. She does not like to see large patches of it, but in nature, we do see many sections that have sparse growth, and little litter.
In the US, over half of our species of
lay their eggs buried in the soil, as do many other pollinators. If our plot is covered in 2-6 inches of mulch, these pollinators will go elsewhere to lay their eggs.
To encourage these volunteer pollinators, we need to provide them with a suitable habitat, which means an area of semi-open (sparse litter, NOT heavily mulched) areas to raise next season's pollinators. In my mind's eye, the best place to provide this space is at the edges, where the greatest variety of plants and insects occur.
(P.S. I live in the mild, but rainy Pacific North West...slug capitol of the continent...I use living mulch...crimson clover... in the winter, plant debris during the growing season, and have never had a slug problem here. I'm not wasting
beer on them.)

It turns out that everybody is right. Weird huh. Everything is just so complex that given a variety of circumstances, almost any crazy thing can be right.
Slugs: have you seen all the threads and videos I have about slug control?
I spent a few years in the Seattle area with climate similar to the UK. And lots of slugs and fungi and disease and pests. And now I'm in montana: more sun and fewer pests.
Mulch: If i wanna get mulchy, I like to do it in june - after the soil has warmed up. But I will do it in other times of the year, but I know that adding mulch will bring in slugs and other pests. If I plow and turn soil and futz with mulch every year, then I discourage pest predators and encourage pests. Better to find solutions that will allow me to leave the soil undisturbed.
Plowing: If you have dirt (soil has a decent humus level, dirt does not) then plowing it probably isn't gonna hurt much. Still a lot of work. And if you plow something in, that would be a little smarter. But the long term goal should be to get to a system where you don't have to break the soil anymore.
People with different thoughts on permaculture: there is gonna be a lot of that. And chances are that they are all right - when given the right set of circumstances. How you manage an urban lot is different than how you manage 100 acres. And both are different from strict container

This was a great discussion, thanks all!
I mulch more and more, and have had better and worse results.
The better is soil moisture,
matter, protection from frosts and frost heaving.
When the slugs came in, I got ducks. Good deal.
Now rodents have been burrowing through the mulch. I need to figure out how to balance that. The cats are in at night because of the coyotes. Well, it takes some time to figure it all out.

In Paul's articles about sepp holzer, it is mentioned the Sepp practices Holzer Permaculture. mostly to head off the "you can't do that, that is not permaculture," folks...and I see quite a bit of that..Nature is infinitely variable, and so must permaculture be, as well. Bill Mollison says that permaculture can be as big or as small as you like.
Not saying that that is the issue here, I just want to illustrate that Permaculture, while it is a design system, is ot a rigid set of rules, but an infinite set of variables, many of which fit together in a chaotic, but functional, and usually predictable manner.
I agree. Here's the link:

WEEPERS: G Anthony Morrow. Key numbers: He's a 3-point flinger, but he hoisted only five of the shots in 17 games played. Suffice it to say the 82 minutes he played likely are his last as a Mav. Contract: Unrestricted free agent. Opening day age, 2013-14: 28. Outlook: When they traded for Morrow from Atlanta for Dahntay Jones, the Mavericks knew they weren't getting a savior. But they thought they were getting a court- stretcher who could keep defenses honest. He never really earned the opportunity and sat on the bench most of his time with the team.

Your vehicle won't run without a properly working ignition coil unless it has a diesel engine that depends on compression to ignite the fuel/air mixture or a vintage car that uses a magneto ignition system. You need the ignition coil to convert the battery's low voltage into thousands of volts, which are required to produce an electric spark in the spark plugs to ignite the fuel. Without it, you would have to push your car for it to move.
What is an ignition coil made of?
Early ignition coils were made from varnish and paper that has insulated high-voltage windings. These were put inside a draw-steel can and filled with asphalt or oil to provide insulation and protect it from moisture. Nowadays, the coils in modern vehicles are cast in filled epoxy resins that seep into any voids within the winding.
How to select the right ignition coil for your car
If you are not looking for a component that will enhance your performance, you can get a stock replacement ignition coil to replace an old or busted one. But, there are also coils that are made for specific road use. These are street or strip coils and race only coils. The street coils are normally rated from 35,000 to 55,000 volts. These coils can give a significantly greater performance than stock ignition coils. They provide easier and quicker starting, better throttle response, and improved gas mileage because you are igniting more fuel than before and producing more power through a more complete combustion of the air-fuel mixture.
Another thing that will help you choose the best ignition coil is by knowing what kind of distributor your car has. This will help you minimize your choices for a coil. If you have an HEI type of distributor, then should only buy an ignition coil that can fit within the distributor cap or one that entirely replaces the distributor cap. Externally mounted coils for
"points style distributors" are the kind of coils that you can find the most in the market. If your ignition system doesn't have a distributor, you will still need an ignition coil for it to operate.
So, determine the use of your vehicle and what type of distributor you have to be able to choose the right ignition coil for your ride.
How Much Does It Cost?
You should be able to find top-quality ignition coils within a price range of about 20 to over 100 USD, depending on whether you're buying them individually or in packs of 3, 6, 8, or 10.

Though Kelly Chambala began her librarian career in a school setting, her new post as the children's librarian at Maxwell Memorial Library presents the same challenge.
"The purpose of me being here is the same - getting kids to love books, getting kids comfortable with the library," Chambala said last week.
Chambala began the part-time position at Maxwell in February, when the previous children's librarian retired. She was previously the K-5 librarian in the Vestal School District in Binghamton, and is a Skaneateles High School, (1995) and Ithaca College (1999) alumna. She and her family moved to Tully in August, the latest stop in her "upstate tour," she laughed.
Chambala currently splits her time between Maxwell and her two sons, Everett, 3, and Wesley, 2.
"Every day there's a moment I'm so thankful I'm there," Chambala said of her time at home with the boys.
A new challenge
Chambala said so far she has already noticed how family and child-oriented Maxwell is.
"The kids have been wonderful," she said. "And there is a great library staff."
Her post at Maxwell expands the ages she will deal with to "school-aged children," which opens up a new age range: teenagers.
"Teens are my next challenge," Chambala joked. "How do you make it cool to be at the library? That's every librarian's challenge."
She hopes to develop a teen reading club in coming months similar to the Page Turners Club, a club for kids ages 8 to 12 and their parents that launched last week.
"It's kids and their parents talking about a book, not homework," Chambala said. The club provides a way for parents to bond with their kids, when they're at an age where they start wanting to be their own person.
Chambala can be found at the library from 4 to 8 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays, and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays; she hopes to extend her hours during the summer. Since joining Maxwell, Chambala has developed the Page Turners club and the Kid's Time afterschool craft program.
Page Turners is held from 7 to 7:45 p.m. the first Wednesday of each month for ages 8 to 12 and their parents.
Kid's Time is held from 4:15 to 5 p.m. Wednesdays for children in kindergarten through second grade and includes a story and craft.

text: Hope Solo Ordered Away From Half-Sis, Nephew, Booze She pleads not guilty to domestic assault By Rob Quinn, Newser Staff Posted Jun 24, 2014 1:59 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (8) (Newser) – Soccer star Hope Solo has been ordered to stay away from alcohol—and the half-sister and nephew she is accused of assaulting—as a condition of release after her arrest on domestic violence charges. The 32-year-old US goalkeeper pleaded not guilty to two counts of fourth-degree domestic violence assault during an appearance at a Seattle-area court yesterday, reports CNN. She was released without bail and is expected to appear at a pre-trial hearing in August. According to a police report, Solo was arrested after police responded to a 911 call about a woman "going crazy and hitting people" at a home, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer finds. Her 17-year-old nephew described an argument that led to him and his mother being punched by Solo after she called him "too fat and overweight and crazy," the report states. Solo told police that she didn't attack anyone, but had been hit in the head with a broom after calling her nephew "fat and unathletic." Her lawyer says "Hope was assaulted and injured during this unfortunate incident" and "we look forward to the opportunity to present the true facts in court and to having this matter behind Hope very soon."

Phoenix Hotel, a Joie de Vivre hotel 3.0Tenderloin, San Francisco, CaliforniaFamous for A-list rocker guests and an artsy, cool vibe, this one-of-a-kind, converted 44-room motel may have seedy Tenderloin District surroundings, but retro-inspired guest rooms, the unique, SoCal-style courtyard pool, and happening on-site nightlife keep the hip crowd happy.

P12 Sound Library For Dave Smith Instruments Prophet 12 Synthesizer
Boxed Ear has released P12 – a collection of 99 new sounds for the Dave Smith Instruments Prophet 12 synthesizer.
Here's what they have to say about the new sound library:
This bank focusses on sounds that poly synths do well. You'll find luscious pads, classic lead sounds, wavetable plucks, vintage stacks, evolving soundscapes and complex arpeggios. Every patch is programmed to sound warm and organic and inspire you not just to make great music, but to enjoy playing your synthesizer.
We believe that the P12 sound bank sets a new standard for patch design on the Prophet 12.
Here's an audio demo of the new patch library: Continue reading

Manufacturer: Prestige (View all products by Prestige Saddle)
Model: Doge (Optimax) (View all Doge (Optimax) reviews)
Category: Dressage Saddles
Purchase: I loved the jump saddle I'd ridden in, and thought it was beautiful quality. I bought it (internationally) brand new and paid approx 1750 Euro. Plus shipping and customs...
Likes: The leather of the saddle was beautiful quality...
Dislikes: From the first week I had the saddle it didn't fit straight on my horse. It constantly shifted to the left. At first my instructor and I thought it was me, but eventually realised it was the saddle. I had a professional saddle fitter check the saddle and she told me the panels had been fitted unevenly to the saddle. She stipulated that it was definitely a manufacturer fault, and assured me that any reputable company would certainly take it back with full refund! Not so!! I emailed Prestige a number of times....no response. I ended up having to pay to have it sent (internationally) back to the saddlery, and they sent it to Prestige for me. Prestige said that they could find nothing wrong with it, although they admitted to realigning the panels! Odd that a saddle with nothing wrong needed its panels realigned!! Hmmmm... I am still shocked that they would not refund me for a saddle that had a "manufacturers fault"!
Quality: Obviously what I have to say about this particular saddle is not complimentary!
Summary: Very disappointed with Prestige. I hope they know I think their customer service it disgraceful, and because of my experience I have recommended a lot of interested contacts against buying their dressage saddles.

A song for going up to the Temple.
1I was in trouble.
I called to the Lord for help,
and he answered me!
2I said, "Lord, save me from liars,
from those who say things that are not true."
3Liars, do you know what the Lord has for you?
Do you know what you will get?
4You will get a soldier's sharp arrow
and hot coals to punish you.
5How I hate living here among these people!
It's like living in Meshech or in the tents of Kedar.#120:5 Meshech … Kedar Places where the people were known as wild and savage fighters.
6I have lived too long
with those who hate peace.
7I ask for peace,
but they want war.

Well I don't feel so stupid now seems like none of you car buffs knows anything about kias either. At least none of you tried to answered my question of how to take the tension off the belt. : Twisted: : ( : (

Well for one the sedonna has 2 belt! A power steering belt, tensioner pulley and crank pulley, then you have the other on for the altinator a/c and crank pulley. This one also contains a tensioner pulley and an idler pulley. If you couldn't figure out how to adjust this one I suggest you don't do too much too your vehicle as it a very simply system! You loosen the 14 mm bolt on the tensioner( just beside the ac compressor) then you have an adjusting bolt just underneath the tensioner that you can either tighten or loosen it!

A 75-year-old man pulled from under a capsized boat off of the Seal Beach shore on Thursday died of salt-water drowning, an autopsy has found.
Randale Walker, of Whittier, was boating with a friend and the friend's young son when a wave apparently rolled their boat on Thursday afternoon, witnesses said. He and the boy were trapped beneath the boat; rescuers had to lift it to free them.
Walker had no pulse and was not breathing when rescuers got him onto shore. He was taken to Los Alamitos Medical Center, where he was declared dead about an hour after the capsizing.
An autopsy on Friday concluded that the cause of his death was salt-water drowning, Deputy Coroner Artin Baron said. It also found that he had "cardiac conditions," Baron said, but those were not the primary cause of death.
The 8-year-old boy who was trapped with Walker beneath the capsized boat was not badly hurt. The boy's father was thrown from the boat when it rolled and was not hurt.
There were conflicting reports about whether the three boaters were wearing life jackets. None of them had life jackets on when firefighters arrived, Capt. Greg McKeown of the Orange County Fire Authority said – but, he added, "That's not to say that they didn't before."

APTA applauds the proposed legal settlement of the nationwide class action lawsuit directed toward ensuring Medicare coverage of reasonable and necessary therapy and nursing services for people with chronic and degenerative health conditions. The proposed settlement resolves a lawsuit (Glenda Jimmo, et. al vs. Kathleen Sebelius) under which plaintiffs alleged that the US Department of Health and Human Services, Medicare contractors, and administrative review boards were arbitrarily limiting coverage for patients who did not show long-term improvement in their conditions, even though official Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services rules state these services should be covered.
Under this proposed agreement, Medicare would pay for skilled therapy and nursing services if they are needed to maintain the patient's current condition or prevent or slow further deterioration.
This policy aligns with APTA's long-held belief that determinations of whether physical therapy services should be covered under Medicare should be based on the unique condition and individual needs of each patient. This proposed settlement would enable millions of Americans who suffer from chronic and debilitating conditions, such as Alzheimer disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson disease, and spinal cord injury, to obtain Medicare coverage of physical therapy and other services that are medically necessary.
As highlighted in The New York Times, we strongly believe that allowing Medicare beneficiaries to receive physical therapy in skilled nursing facilities and home and community-based settings will result in significant cost savings in the long term, as well as help bolster the triple aim of health care reform to improve care for individuals, improve health for populations, and lower spending growth. Most important, this policy will help Medicare beneficiaries preserve quality of life and a level of independence.
APTA will continue its efforts to ensure access to appropriate physical therapy services. We also will work with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and its contractors to ensure accurate and fair incorporation of revisions to the current Medicare manuals and regulations that reflect this significant change. In addition, the association will continue to analyze the proposed settlement for potential impact on Medicare policies regarding the reporting of functional limitations on the claim for outpatient therapy and the requirement to complete a functional reassessment at defined intervals under the Home Health Part A benefit. APTA plans to actively educate members to ensure proper understanding and application of the newly revised Medicare regulations.
APTA has always believed patient needs should come first when determinations regarding health care are made. We are encouraged by this proposed settlement and its impact on the lives of individuals with chronic and debilitating health conditions.
