How to put belt back on a john deere sabre riding mower
How do I route the belt through the pulleys of my john deere sabre riding mower?
Is this a good question?
How do I route the belt through the pulleys of my john deere sabre riding mower?
Is this a good question?
Go to this link:
In the box marked model type "Sabre" and then select your specific mower model in the box below. Click on pictorial index under your mower model and then look for drive belt. You will see an exploded diagram of the belt and pulleys which should get you going in the right direction.
Hope this helps.

As of July 30, 2010 I was in the same predicament. I have a 38" John Deere sabre with a broken hydro drive belt. How I got the belt on was extremely hard. I ended up undoing the tensioner spring to allow the bigger pulley to slide close to the smaller pulley. Then I put the belt on. The problem was I was not able to reattach the spring.
You need to take off the mower deck. Its just not possible to get under the tractor to get the needed leverage. A much stronger friend came over and undid a belt around the pulley then using force reattached the spring. Then, we had to use a screwdriver to pry the belt back on the pulley. It took two men to do it. Then reattached the mower deck. It took about 20 mins once he came over.
In hindsight, I would not have undid the tensioner spring and just pried to the belt on the smaller pulley (idler). It just takes massive amount of strength either way if you don't have riser to put it on like at the dealership.

I have recently uninstalled and reinstalled my iTunes because I was having issues with it. I also had to reset all my settings on my iPhone 4s this morning because of some audio issues I had. Both are now resolved. However, I would like to sync my iPhone to my computer now, even though I have some of my iCloud data on my phone. The trouble is that, while my phone is connected to the computer and iTunes is open, neither iTunes nor my phone are registering the connection. Anyone able to help me figure out what is going on?

Carl Paladino Crushed His Opponent for a School Board Seat
He did it.
Andrew Cuomo's onetime, F-bombing opponent for the governor's mansion has followed through on his lesser ambitions and landed a spot last night on the Buffalo school board. Carl Paladino won 2,543 votes, or 79 percent, to his opponent's 646 (and 20 write-ins). Paladino originally launched his candidacy by deriding the sitting members as a "sisterhood," getting thrown out of a meeting, and vowing, of his new colleagues, "I'm going to destroy them. All nine of them." So this should go swimmingly.

Diabetes Health Center
Calm Urged for Avandia Patients
Calls for Independent Look at Avandia Risk continued...
Avandia gained FDA approval in 1999. That approval was based on the drug's ability to lower diabetes patients' blood-sugar levels.
"Why do we control blood sugar in diabetes? The reason is to control complications of diabetes," Nissen says. "Avandia has never been shown to control any diabetes complication. They have had eight years to show a health-outcome benefit. Yet they've shown no reduction in microvascular [eye, kidney, and extremity] complications and no reduction in cardiovascular [heart] outcomes."
Krall says such studies began very soon after Avandia approval.
"It takes studies of 10 years' duration or more to show clinical endpoints," he says. "It took 10 years to see clinical results in studies of [the older diabetes drugs] metformin and sulfonylura. It is not fair to expect those results yet for Avandia. What is clear is that if you do manage [blood sugar levels], you do see those endpoints in 10-plus years' time."
Alternatives to Avandia
Another drug in the same class as Avandia, Actos, has already been shown to lower -- not raise -- the risk of heart disease in diabetes patients.
"It may be hard to justify continuing to prescribe Avandia if there is an alternative, Actos, that does not have same risk profile," Meneghini says. "So in terms of new Avandia prescriptions, I don't think so. It is not so much a clinical decision as a liability decision. Because if a patient says, 'I want to come off the drug,' and his doctors says, 'No, continue taking it,' and the patient has a heart attack -- for whatever reason -- well, you can imagine what comes after that."
But Meneghini still says Avandia is helping some patients.
"In terms of patients currently on the drug, if they have had a good response in terms of blood sugar control, and no prior cardiovascular event, I don't see why they should not continue," he says. "In those with a history of heart trouble, maybe they should consider a change. Insulin therapy is one of the cleanest options we have at this point in time."

"Milwaukee-more than beer" Top 5 Page for this destination Milwaukee by Dabs
Milwaukee Travel Guide: 527 reviews and 824 photos
As close as I lived to Milwaukee while growing up, the family rarely traveled up there, in fact I can only remember going there once for a Brewers game and I think that was a church outing. Now we live a little further away and we've made trips up for Summerfest a couple of times and a trip to the zoo but I've never explored downtown Milwaukee so we decided to take a road trip in the fall of 2004 to see what we could see.
I was pleasantly surprised to find some really cool architecture, older buildings with some real style. Downtown Milwaukee, although not very lively on the weekends, is very walkable, you can take a stroll along the Riverwalk or through the downtown area to check out some of the architecture.
We got a late start from home and stopped by the Jelly Belly warehouse on the way up so we didn't get a chance to see much of what I wanted to see. A good excuse for a return visit :-)
And return visits I've made, I've made five more trips, one in Sept. 2004 to see the Domes and explore the area around Marquette University, again in Jan 2005 to see the Pabst Mansion decorated for the holidays, in April 2005 to visit the Milwaukee Art Museum and take a look at historic Brady Street, in December 2006, I took a herd of VTers up to see the Pabst Mansion and Pfister Hotel decorated for the holidays and a nice drive along the lakefront looking at the mansions and in July 2007 we headed up to Summerfest. Milwaukee is really an undiscovered Midwestern gem!
I'm not finished yet, there's still the Miller Brewery tour, the Historic 3rd Ward, Sprecher Brewery, the Charles Allis Art Museum, the Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum and nearby Cedarburg.

It is a great description, I must revisit that city and see the sites...feel the atmosphere again...We were too busy to enjoy all those splendid sights....
Just starting my Milwaukee page after spending a pleasure weekend up there. Then I go back for 2 weeks in August on business.
Do you have any more information on the Tripoli Shrine Temple? I have to do a research paper about it for school and some of the things i need to find I can't.
Another excellent page filled with helpful suggestions for visitors to this friendly midwestern city. Sorry about your "accident". Hope all is OK. For years we had subscriptions to the Papst Theater. Your food tips are always top notch.
Great Milwaukee page!! Makes me hungry for more info!! I guess I'll have to go and find out on my own!!
Great page! So many of the old buildings in Milwaukee look the same as they did when I first visited the city at age 15. Didn't know Miller was the only brewery left in town.
Milwaukee Gas Light Co looks a lovely building, I've always loved Art Deco. But a Westphalian schnitzel-wiener schnitzel almost sounds like a parody of German food!
The St. Joan of Arc Chapel looks interseting and it's very American to move it from Europe, right? I don't like Miller beer but being from Polish beer capitol I would like to visit the brewery if possible.
Same with me. I have never been to Milwaukee even though it always seemed so near when I was growing up. We used to go to Waukegen and places like that, and Milwaukee would have been just a few miles further up the shore. Thanks for a look at it.
Next time you might want to check out the lobby lounge at the Pfister - it's a nice place for a refreshment!

Which Two Pokemon Would You Have?

Journey? Aww, can't I just be a book keeper or stay at home?
Oh wait. I'd unabashedly be the worst kind of Pokemon Coordinator. ewe The Pokemon contest concept was the only thing I ever liked about the main games, but the execution wasn't too hot. In real life, though, I think it'd be different.
I'd be absolutely terrible. My end goal would just be to have the cutest Nidorina on the planet, and we'd win using really sneaky underhanded tactics like Charm, Attract, Sweet Kiss and whatever other cutesy-lovey dovey moves exist. You can give Pokemon accessories, right? I think my Nidorina needs glasses. For no other reason than to make it even more unnecessarily Moe-ish. They'd have to ban me.
I'd also have Vulpix. Redo her hair in pigtails, give 'er a lollipop and have her skip around while singing in a cutesy Vulpix voice. I don't even care if I win, I just want to melt faces with how sugar sweet this'll all be. They'll have posters hanging up to have me arrested. And the cops could never put me away because all I'd have to do is have the both of the 'mons give the ol' puppy dog eyes and bat some eyelashes, and if that doesn't have him/her blabbering baby-speak like a darn fool, it'll get me a "get outta here before I change my mind".
So yeah, I'd be like a cross between a Pokemon Fan obsessed with pretty/cute 'mons and a coordinator to flaunt such. But it'd be with the malicious intention of instilling face melting cuteness. Pokeblock abuse ahoy!

When creating domain model, we almost always have Id field or property for our entities which represents the primary key column of corresponding table in the database. My question is - if I have this key property that has nothing to do with the domain model (in other words, it's just database concern; Martin Fowler prefers to name it meaningless key), is persistence layer leaking into my domain? And if it is, how do I prevent it?
Make sure the meaningful keys are identified in the model as well. Including the surrogates may be optional but including the meaningful keys that make sense of your data in the real world is much more important.
Look at the problem another way: Will hiding the Primary Keys make it easier for your team to develop the solution, or make it even harder?
Don't worry about PK values 'leaking' into your entities - I'm sure your software has bigger problems that need to be solved.

While it is true that entities differing only in the inserted artificial ID may introduce duplicate (redundant) data, their use is far from meaningless. An an extra way of distinguishing different domain entities, does not in my opinion interfere with the domain itself.
But as for an answer for your question:
If you really, really want to. You can use a combination of entity attributes to define the entity keys.
Hope it helps.

NCAA Sued Over College Football Player Scholarships Caps
The National Collegiate Athletic Association and five of college football's regional conferences were sued by a former West Virginia University player who claims they conspired to limit the value of scholarships to less than the actual cost of attendance.
Shawne Alston, who played running back for West Virginia, filed the lawsuit today in federal court in San Francisco, saying he took out a $5,500 loan to make up the difference between what the school called a full scholarship -- limited to tuition, academic fees, room, board and books -- and what he had to pay.
Top-tier college football is a "highly competitive marketplace" in which the value of scholarships "would rise to at least cover the full cost of attendance, and likely much more," but for the NCAA's limits, according to the complaint, which says the caps violate antitrust law.
The suit follows efforts by college athletes to secure greater control over their working conditions and the use of their likenesses on television and in video games. A group of Northwestern University football players last month asked the National Labor Relations Board to recognize them as employees of the school, a step toward possible unionization.
Conferences Named
Alston is seeking to sue on behalf of all scholarship athletes from the past four years who played football in the Pacific 12, Big Ten, Southeastern, Atlantic Coast and Big Twelve conferences. He's asking the court to void caps on financial aid and to award damages covering the gap between the cost of attendance and scholarship awards. Such damages could be tripled under antitrust law.
Stacey Osburn, a spokeswoman for the Indianapolis-based NCAA, the governing body of major college sports, declined to comment on the lawsuit because she hadn't reviewed the filing.
In October 2011, the NCAA Division I Board of Directors approved a rule allowing conferences to provide athletes a $2,000 stipend. They suspended the rule less than two months later after complaints from more than 100 schools. It's still under discussion, Osburn said.
Herb Vincent, an associate commissioner for the Southeastern Conference, declined to comment on the suit, as did Erik Hardenbergh, vice president of public affairs for the Pacific 12 conference. Representatives for the other conferences didn't return calls and e-mails seeking comment.
Seattle-based law firm Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP and Los Angeles-based Pearson, Simon & Warshaw LLP filed the lawsuit.
Earlier Case
Hagens Berman brought another scholarship case in 2010 against the NCAA, alleging that the organization's limits on the number of football scholarships a Division I school can award each year, along with its now-defunct prohibition on multiyear scholarships, violate antitrust law.
A judge dismissed that complaint, rejecting the idea of a commercial market for college athlete labor. Hagens Berman revised its complaint to limit the market to football players in a lawsuit filed in 2012. A judge rejected a request by the NCAA to dismiss that case. Alston's lawsuit narrows the scope even further, to five specific conferences within top-tier college football.
The case is Alston v. NCAA, 14-01011, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California (San Francisco).

Lakers: Help in the draft?
Jose Juan Barea was not drafted. Gilbert Arenas was a second-round pick. So was Paul Millsap.
If you want to go into the history book, Dennis Rodman, Manu Ginobili, Jeff Hornacek, Michael Redd, Carlos Boozer and Cedric Ceballos were second-rounders, too.
So it isn't preposterous to expect the Lakers to find some talent in the second round of the 2011 draft, particularly since they have four picks in that round.
The Lakers pick 41st, 46th, 56th and 58th. .
That also means they have some trade flexibility. They won't find a finished product by drafting that low, but they might find a hidden gem.
Click on the photos tab to take a look at some players who might make good draft picks for the Lakers.

Ed Merritt
Welcome to Digital River's fourth quarter 2009 earnings call. I'm Ed Merritt, Digital River's Vice President of Investor Relations. On the call today is Joel Ronning, our Chief Executive Officer, and Tom Donnelly, our Chief Financial Officer.
I'd like to remind you that statements made during the course of this conference call that are not historical facts are forward-looking in nature. These statements relate to the company's future growth and financial results and may contain the words believes, anticipates, expects, and similar words. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that which may cause actual results to differ materially from expectations.
For a detailed discussion of these risk factors and uncertainties, please refer to the company's filings with the Securities & Exchange Commission. A webcast of our call today will be available for a period of two weeks on the investor relations section of Digital Rivers' corporate website. With that I'd like to turn the call over to Joel Ronning.
Joel A. Ronning
I'm pleased to report we closed 2009 with a tremendous fourth quarter. Our results are just one of the reasons why I continue to be very bullish about the future growth and profitability of the company. We have a solid strategy in place that continues to prove successful. Our core top line growth is returning to historical levels. We have a strong pipeline of new clients and new products and we have a great team in place committed to executing against our 2010 operating plan.
During the call today I will touch on each of these points as part of a larger discussion on our fourth quarter performance in the 2010 plan. Then I will turn the call over to Tom for an update on our financial results. To start off, I'm pleased to report we not only did a great job growing revenue in the fourth quarter, we hit a record level nearly $105 million. We increased our core revenue which excludes Symantec 26% year-over-year exceeding our guidance of 16% to 18% growth.
For the first time since the recession hit, we're seeing growth rates return to our business that are in line with the 2007, 2008 organic growth rates. This is a strong testament to the actions we began taking several quarters ago when the global recession hit. I'd like to personally thank our associates who have been committed to this objective, which is deliver on our strategy and accelerated growth in our business.
We are particularly pleased with these results given that we managed this growth while Symantec began to move its business in house. We expected Symantec would be fully transitioned off our platform by June 30th when our contract expires. Tom will provide some financial details around this transition in a few minutes.
We've taken this shift in our relationship with Symantec as an opportunity to thoroughly review our business. During the past several quarters our executive team has been formulated our 2010 operating plan which focuses on two key areas, revenue growth and operational excellence and stability. I'd like to spend a few minutes talking about our business plan and progress to date in each of these areas.
As I just mentioned, the first goal of our business plan is to grow revenue. In essence, replacing anticipated loss revenues as quickly as possible. In 2010, we intend to accomplish this by strengthening and expanding existing client relationships and signing new deals. We will continue to emphasize our core vertical markets including software, consumer electronics, and games on a global basis. In 2009, some of our sales successes in these markets included new and expanded relationships with companies such as Microsoft, Citrix, Electronic Arts, Kodak, Pentax, Rim, Samsung, THQ, UbiSoft, and Western Digital just to name a few.
We also plan to accelerate our emphasis on a new vertical markets for certain product offerings to maintain our growth profile well beyond 2010. We already have a plan in place to support our growth. Late last year, we increased the size of our sales force adding new seasoned sales professionals in key markets. In addition, we enhanced our sales methodology and marketing support materials and expect to see increased production from this sales team beginning in the first half of 2010.
To further support our growth objective we will also continue to emphasize new product development particularly as it relates to driving new revenue streams for existing clients. Our strategy in 2009 was to leap frog competitive product offerings by developing functionality that drives client revenue. While launching over 20 new or enhanced capabilities we both achieved our objective, expanded our opportunities in new and complimentary markets. Essentially, what we have done is frozen the competitive markets; that's what we believe.
The role out of our new products set has caused many prospects and clients to pause on commerce decisions. They are now considering the expanded functionality of our offering in place of competitive products or a less advanced more expensive in house solutions. In 2009, we launched important new business-to-business solutions. We rolled out Business Direct which enables our clients to sell directly to their enterprise clients in large volume through private online portals. We also went live with our channel partner network which allows resellers to automate the sales of multiple licenses to their business buyers through publishers' stores.

Okay i am a relative newbie and am going to put my flame suit now. i have a question and if it sounds stupid then just educate me.
why does everyone say support the LBS?
I see no point in supporting the LBS, when they try to rip people off.
I went to my LBS to buy a 2002 giant rainier last week and the owner will not go down on price. He said the best he can do is $20 off.
So the best he can do is give me 3% off a $700 purchase for a bike that is 1 year old.
That is ludicious, have he not heard of this thing called the internet.
I can purchase the same bike online for $100 off AND no tax.
To me LBS are ignorant and think that they are a monopoly around the neighborhood. He thinks that he is the only one that can sell me a rainier. no wonder his shop was empty.
If the LBS really wanted to stay in business, they have to think of a new business plan, they should focus more on selling many bikes at a reasonable price than to try to sell 1 bike a month on a high profit margin.
Someone please explain why i should pay more for the same item that can be bought with a click of a button and delivered to my doorsteps.

Watching all this Spitzer mess unfold this is a timely reminder as we go about this president-picking business. One of the things I loved the most about Ronald Reagan was his humility. A movie star for four decades, he wasn't in politics to prove he was smarter than the other guy. This is always one of life's hurdles, and lest Spitzer take too much of the rap, one doesn't have to be a governor to fall into this pit. Anyone can have the problem. These UCC stories I've been writing about -- the real problem here is not simply the liberal politics, which is a considerable problem in itself.
What is also in play here is a Spitzer-like hubris. As William F. Buckley once wrote, this is also about "the emphatic indisposition by those whose views prevail in critical quarters to accept any challenge to their intellectual hegemony, to recognize dissent from their conformity as serious." This was Spitzer's problem, it is the UCC's problem, it in fact can be a problem that afflicts anyone with lots of power or brains or money or social status. How they handle it will, like clock work, reflect back on them and -- always -- sooner or later come back to haunt.
I feel nothing but sympathy for Spitzer's kids and his wife. But this guy was, as documented repeatedly by all sorts of people from both sides of the aisle, incredibly emotionally immature. Unable to handle his smarts or his temper, with real power in hand he abused it -- and has been caught. The Greeks wrote volumes on this kind of thing. This is why we are conservatives -- the perfectibility of man is a myth. A liberal myth. Ask Governor Perfect.

in response to Eric BoltI have been using Final Cut Pro for a variety of editing projects for over 3 years. I like the program, find it to be rock stable and can do most of what I want without too much hassle. However, a recent 3 camera shoot involving different formats finally pushed me over the edge with the multiclip limitations and required transcoding to edit in FCP. I had purchased CS5 Production Premium when it came out, but I had not given Premiere Pro CS5 much more than a glance. I purchased an over-clocked nVidia GTX285 video card ($449) off of e-Bay, installed it in my 2008 Mac Pro, and I took some time to get up to speed with PP and then began this one hour 3-camera project. The difference in speed between PP and FCP was substantial. I also never had one single crash of PP during my entire two weeks of editing this project. It is a pleasure to see all 8-cores light up to the max when working in PP or using Adobe's Media Encoder. Render times with Adobe's Media Encoder were a fraction of the time required to render the same footage in Compressor even though Compressor is also 64-bit. It was a delight to playback multiple streams of high definition video in multiple formats in the PP timeline with multiple effects and never have to render to get good playback.
There is a misconception that to really get any benefit out of the Mercury Playback Engine of PP CS5, one has to purchase an expensive nVidia card. This is simply not the case. The fact that PP is takes full advantage of 64-bit architecture (allowing all of the RAM in your Mac Pro to be used) and contains numerous other software driven improvements gives it a substantial advantage in speed and flexibility over FCP even without a CUDA capable video card. In fact, the latter is only used for real-time playback of effects and filters and is not used in rendering at all.
Finally, I chose to move to PP because the CS5 Production Premium package includes After Effects and Encore CS5 which allows full authoring of Blu-ray DVD's -- something that Apple in FCP supports only in a most abbreviated form. I have found that all of these Adobe software packages are very stable and give excellent results. I simply grew tired of waiting for FCP to catch up to Adobe, and I have no regrets in moving to PP as my main editing software. And, no, I am not an Adobe employee -- just a satisfied user.
Eric Bolt Jan 21, 2011 12:43 PM
in response to TomWheelI really hope somebody from Apple is paying attention here. I know two other people that have now told me essentially the same story as you, Tom.
And here's something else I've learned: Because I'm a CS4 Web owner, it's actually cheaper for me to upgrade to the entire Production Premium package from Adobe ($599), than it is to buy my first standalone copy of After Effects ($999). So I get a much better deal on After Effects, which I was going to buy anyway, and Premier comes with it. So I guess I might as well try it out.
Meg The Dog Jan 21, 2011 12:53 PM
in response to Eric BoltHi -
Also - don't worry about what editing system you are editing with in terms of client inquiries. If an editorial client is seriously asking for an equipment list as opposed to a sample reel, then immediately run the other direction.
If you want a bookcase built, do you ask the carpenter if he uses Skill saws or Porter-Cable? Or do you ask to see a couple of his finished books shelves?

13 for 2013: This Year's Best New Mountain Bikes
Trek Superfly 100 SL
13 / 13
Why It's Cool: One of the lightest full-suspension bikes got lighter
The 2013 version of this race rocket from Trek loses nearly a pound from the frame. In addition, the new model sees a 10mm reduction in travel to 100mm and the suspension was tuned for a firmer feel with a more progressive stroke—similar to Trek's 26-inch race bike, the Top Fuel. Trek engineers raised the bottom bracket 5mm for more clearance and slackened the head angle by 1 degree. Despite losing a pound, the frame is slightly stiffer than the current model, Trek claims. Prices for the carbon-frame Superfly 100 SL start at $3,890 and top out at $9,030 for the 21.4-pound Pro model.

5 Stocks Insiders Are Snapping Up
(AGCO - Get Report). This company is a manufacturer and distributor of agricultural equipment and related replacement parts worldwide. Insiders are buying this stock into some modest strength, since shares are up just over 5% so far in 2012.Agco has a market cap of $4.40 billion and an enterprise value of $5.49 billion. This stock trades at a cheap valuation, with a trailing price-to-earnings of 6.35 and a forward price-to-earnings of 8.16. Its estimated growth rate for this year is 17.2%, and for next year it's pegged 5.9%. This is not a cash-rich company, since the total cash position on its balance sheet is $321.90 million and its total debt is $1.41 billion A director just bought 160,940 shares, or about $7.29 million worth of stock, at $45.08 to $45.60 per share. From a technical perspective, AGCO is currently trending above its 200-day moving average and just below its 50-day moving average, which is neutral trendwise. This stock has been downtrending for the last two months, with shares dropping from a high of $49.90 to its recent low of $42.48 a share. During that downtrend, shares of AG9CO have been mostly making lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action. That said, the stock has just started to rebound back above its 200-day and its moving within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. If you're bullish on AGCO, then I would look for long-biased trades once this stock manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $45.90 to $47.25 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 1,110,740 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then AGCO will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance level at $49.90 a share. Penn National Gaming Another name in the casinos and gaming complex that insiders are loading up on here is Penn National Gaming (PENN - Get Report). This is a diversified, multi-jurisdictional owner and manager of gaming and pari-mutuel properties. Insiders are buying this stock into decent strength, since shares are up by 26% so far in 2012.Agco One capital goods player that insiders are buying a huge amount of stock in here is Agco

The cops from Fife, Wa. were supposed to be on an anti-prostitution sting. But then they noticed a man in a truck stop parking lot emerge from behind some bushes with three large duffel bags. They watched him put the bags in the trunk of a car as another man sat behind the wheel. When the officers pulled up for a chat the men took off.
Rather than give up, they ran instead. That's when they made their second mistake.
Because there, at the end of the road, were 15 other officers and their 15 drug-sniffing dogs. The suspects hadn't just turned down a dead-end road. They'd also turned down the one dead-end road in Fife that was home to a monthly K-9 training session.
Realizing they were hopelessly out-manned, the two suspects surrendered, thus making their first good decision of the day. Then they watched as the dogs went nuts around their car; understandable since sitting inside those duffel bags was 95 pounds of cocaine, a haul with a street value of $1.2 million.
"Bad day for them. Good day for us," said one of the lieutenants on the scene. No kidding.

School may be ending a little later this year in Amarillo, but it's not too early to start making plans to keep the kids busy throughout the summer.
The solution could come Saturday at the ninth What's a Kid to Do? Fair.
More than 30 organizations will provide details about their summer programs at the fair, set for 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday in Center Court at Westgate Mall, 7701 W. Interstate 40.
"This is an event that people always ask us to do," said Susie Self, special projects coordinator for AGN Media. "It's a great service to parents and kids because they can go to one place at one time and find out everything that is available for them in the summer."
Officials representing general camps, arts camps, sports camps and spiritual camps will participate in the fair. Attendees can visit with camp leaders and view and take home informational material.
Some groups also will register campers on the spot.
Demonstrations will be offered by Amarillo College gymnastics throughout the event and by Elite MMA & Fitness at 1 p.m., Harvey's Karate & Fitness at 1:45 p.m., Kim USA Taekwondo at 2:30 p.m. and Amarillo College Dance at 3:15 p.m.

2 injured in motorcycle accident SaturdayPublished 7:51pm Sunday, July 17, 2011
Two people were severely injured in a motorcycle accident Saturday evening in Niles. Lt. Mike Stanton of the Niles Police Department has confirmed their injuries are not expected to be fatal.
According to Stanton, the motorcycle was traveling northbound on South 11th Street when a Dodge Charger crossed in front of it from Cherry Street.
The driver and passenger of the motorcycle were transported to Memorial Hospital in South Bend for their injuries. Their names were not available from the NPD. Both were wearing helmets.
The driver of the Charger was not injured and he was wearing a seat belt.
Alcohol is not believed to be a factor in this accident.
Stanton said police have several witnesses to the crash, and the case has been turned over to the prosecutor's office to determine if charges will be filed. The Michigan State Police assisted at the scene to determine if speed or other factors contributed to the crash.

Leading up to next week's release of The Taking, the new record from my band, Loaded, I've been put once more through the endless gauntlet of music-press and rock-radio interviews. I'm not complaining. I suppose there would be a need for a modicum of worry if the interview requests suddenly waned.
Duff McKagan's column runs every Thursday on Reverb.
Next week also brings to public display a new installment at the Experience Music Project here in Seattle, Nirvana: Taking Punk to the Masses. My editor here at the Weekly asked me if I could somehow tie these two things together in one single column (Nirvana/EMP, and Loaded/The Taking). I actually think I can. It goes like this:
In doing all of this press for my new record, one constant theme has arisen from almost every interviewer: "This new Loaded record sounds very Seattle." The interviewers then go on to ask me if, by my living back in Seattle, this has given the new Loaded song-making process a Northwest slant. "Uh, no," I answer. I've lived back in Seattle since '93.One thing that has struck me as obvious ever since I started listening to the early punk-rock singles and records that were coming from places outside of Seattle is that it was totally evident that our wet and cold environs here in the Northwest totally influenced the sound of its rock bands. We play in cold basements with jackets and hats on. The strings are damp. The guitar and drums are made of wood, which is also damp. The paper-speakers in the amp-cabinets are damp. We are playing music with LAYERS on! This makes the actual act of playing much more uncomfortable and a lot less fluid. The "Seattle Sound" is a by-product of our environment. Literally.
When I moved to L.A in 1984, I noticed gear just plain sounded different. I'm not kidding.
Another big difference that I noticed outside of Seattle was a real sense of competition between bands that were playing on the same bill or in the same "scene." In Seattle, there was just really none of that. Bands would loan each other gear and the use of a rehearsal basement and van or pickup for getting to gigs. Musical ideas up here were thought to be a thing to share, not to closet. This really led to a identifiable "sound" of sorts.
I'm not quite sure just why Nirvana has become arguably the most beloved band from this era that made the "Seattle Sound" famous. Alice In Chains were among the first of that era, and have withstood the test of time (and . . . death). Soundgarden pushed the edges of musicianship to the edges of genius, and are seemingly back. Pearl Jam have been the clarion-steady thing--always selling out arenas everywhere they go (no matter if there is a current "radio song" or not). The Melvins? Mudhoney?
This Loaded effort can also be associated with the Seattle sound and some of the aforementioned bands in that it was produced by a fella by the name of Terry Date. Terry produced or recorded a whole slew of these early demos and records, and he produced our new Loaded record. The studio is the same, too (Studio X nee Bad Animals). The way he mikes-up drums and guitar cabinets is the same. The way he pushes a vocal through on his mixes is the same. Dry and hard and tough, and without bluster or shine. Just brutal. In other words: the same old Terry Date. He sorta rules.
So what does the "Seattle Sound" mean today? If you are over, say, 35 years old, well then you probably equate it to these bands above. But one of the great things that happens up here is a change of identity, a constant evolution. Today the "Seattle Sound" is being defined by alt-folks, the likes of Fleet Foxes and The Head and the Heart. And what about bands like Death Cab? They sort of scrubbed the "old guard" rock out of this town. Not in a bad way either. DCFC are fuckin' genius!
I know that I am bouncing around a bit here, and that's just the point. This town has really done a fine job of providing a variety of musical identities. And yes, I didn't even get to the Sonics, Hendrix, Heart, or Queensryche! . . . heh, heh . . or The Fartz.
The Nirvana exhibit is a fitting time capsule of one of the sounds that has defined Seattle. But there have been many sounds that have defined this great musical city.
Loaded will be playing two upcoming gigs in Seattle. At Easy Street Records on Mercer on National Record Store Day (April 16), and a record-release party at Neumos on April 23. The gig on the 23rd will include an auction of rock and sports and fishing items of greatness, to benefit the VA Puget Sound Health Care System.
Nirvana: Taking Punk to the Masses opens April 16 at the Experience Music Project.

When "Monsters Inc." came out in 2001, I remember being slightly underwhelmed. It was fun, but "Toy Story" had been such a revelation that Pixar's latest seemed a little silly by comparison.
"World War Z"
Plan B Entertainment
1 hour, 56 minutes
The few times the word "Zombie" is uttered in this week's dramatic apocalyptic thriller "World War Z," it's done with that particular tone of voice that tells the listener, "Yes, I know it's ridiculous, but just hear me out." In that sense, "Z" is almost an anti-zombie movie, though that doesn't make it any less scary.
"Man of Steel"
Warner Bros.
2 hours, 23 minutes
Though I grew up reading every comic book I could get my hands on, I have to say I was never much of a "Superman" fan. That's not to say I didn't like the guy. I think everybody, on some level or another, likes Superman, but I was a Marvel comics reader, and "Superman" probably seemed a little broad compared to the angsty teen reality of "Spider-Man" or "The New Mutants."

I'll admit that I can't name more than a handful of magician movies, but more than just about any genre, at least based on the ones I've seen, these films seem to be able to take on the particular characteristics of their director with surprising ease.

Speeding puts drivers on fast track to nowhere
October 5, 2012
By Chelsea Bissell, U.S. Army Garrison Grafenwoehr Public Affairs
GRAFENWOEHR, Germany -- For many drivers, speeding tickets are a constant threat. The flare of red and blue or the flash of a traffic camera can mean steep fines, points on a license and even long-term driving suspension.
Those who drive on the garrison and on local roads must deal with two sets of cops, regulations and punishments when caught speeding.
Police Lt. Dean Vertz, Rose Barracks watch commander, oversees all military police during his shift. According to Vertz, Europe-based MPs cannot give out speeding tickets that stipulate fines. Instead, they give Armed Forces Traffic Citations, which add points to the license of those caught zipping along garrison roads, instead of extracting fines.
Netzaberg Hill has one of the largest concentrations of speeders in the garrison, according to Vertz. Contrary to conventional wisdom, he added, more drivers receive speeding tickets going up Netzaberg hill than down.
"It seems that most people going down the hill concentrate on their speed."
One Community Road is another hotspot for hurried drivers. Though many drivers get caught up by the slow speed limit on the road, Vertz asserts that due to wildlife, tactical-vehicles and heavy snow and rain conditions, the 60-kilometers per hour limit is necessary.
After a citation is given to a driver, the MP office sends notification to the driver's commander, sponsor or supervisor. The responsible party must OK the citation before points are levied against the driver.
When particularly reckless drivers rack up continual citations, they run the risk of a suspended license. Twelve points over the course of a year or 18 points over two years means a year-long suspension of the USAREUR license.
Vertz explained that unlike U.S. policemen, who lie in wait for their prey, the German polizei tend to rely on speed cameras to catch those who put the pedal to the metal.
When a speeding driver gets flashed on the economy, the polizei send the owner of the vehicle a questionnaire, asking for basic info like name and address, explained Polizeioberkommissar Gerhard Maenner from the German Police Liaison Office. The owner must then send back the questionnaire completely filled out before the legal office and unit are notified about the misdeed.
When Soldiers and family members get in trouble for neglected traffic tickets, it's usually because of confusion surrounding the German language questionnaire, said Maenner.
"It takes a very long time from the speeding to when the owner gets the ticket," said Maenner. "It could be two or three months. And some of these people forget it. Another problem is that the legal questionnaire is in German and they can't read it."
For those who have trouble deciphering the questionnaire, Maenner suggests taking the document to the host nation attorneys or to him at the MP station in Rose Barracks.
Germany tends to be more exacting against egregious speeders and lenient toward casual speeders than the MPs on post.
Going a few kilometers over the speed limit will warrant a minor fine, but flagrant violations of the limit means points, hefty fines and license suspension.
A license suspension is the most debilitating penalty for drivers. A typical suspension lasts one to four months, and is coupled with a 160-euro or more fine.
"I was going 30 (kilometers) over in Geismannskeller, in between Gate 6 and Gate 9," said community member Ann Bruennig. "I was in a hurry to get home and I was going 80 (kilometers per hour) instead of 50. Because I was going 30 over, I lost my license for four weeks."
Bruennig added that after she got flashed by the speed camera, four months passed before she finally received her ticket.
The polizei give transgressors a four-month window in which to give up their licenses in an attempt to soften the blow of having to mooch rides off friends for four weeks.
"For some people it's very hard if they are working and need the car to get to work," said Maenner.
Savvy drivers can even time their suspension for when they take leave.
Of course, speeding increases the likelihood of accidents. Maenner says the main goal of ticketing for speed is to keep the roads safer for all drivers.
"It's not the job of the police to make more money, but to make a better security situation, to make the traffic safer."

My husband has a grade 2 varicocele. We don't know the results of semen analysis yet. Anyone have experience with this? Did surgery help your results?
I know the verdict is still out on that and based on the research I have come across, outcomes for grade 2 varicocele repair are higher than grade 1 or grade 3. The evidence is really lacking though and it seems like it can go either way. I've seen stories of people who get pregnant the next cycle after surgery and others who are trying years later.
Would love any advice!

I got the strong feeling this past month that, after all the talk and ink, the long-awaited and much-discussed GPLv3 is finally starting to happen. I don't just mean it has finally appeared, which would be a pretty safe assessment, considering that the final version has indeed reached the public. I'm speaking more about the sudden emergence of real momentum and a sense that the hypothetical is finally approaching the inevitable.
The unfortunate part is that Linus Torvalds and the Free Software Foundation were never able to reach an agreement on the DRM provisions and other objections Linus had with the latest GPL. The promising signs of a rapprochement between the kernel developers and the FSF (as described in this space in the June 2007 issue) turned out to be too much reading of tea leaves. In a posting to the kernel list, Linus stated once more his objections to moving the Linux kernel to GPLv3, and he had some strong remarks for the FSF.

text: Landon was born on Oct 21st and was due to be born Nov 30th. I went into the hospital for a (NON) stress test and ended up with an "emergency" C-section. He is doing really great. He was born 4lbs 1.4oz but lost a few ounces right after birth. Today he is back at 4lbs .4oz. YEAH! He has had a few scares along the way. Because he had low white blood cell count initially he had to endure alot of test. The last of them being a spinal tap for menigitis. That was a horrible experience for me. The best news is that all is clear. Now today, the Pediatrician is concerned because his soft spot looks a little puffy. Just when I think we are in the clear, there is another scare. We are waiting on the ultrasound results for this. And if you hadn't realized it by now, we are still in the hospital. Everyone knows my face around here. I can say that for the majority, the staff here are wonderful. I hope we will be going home soon, but I want him to stay as long as needed so he will be good and healthy when we do.

Ellis Island Era Immigration
Challenges & Opportunities
Available to teachers only as part of the Teaching Immigration: Era of Restriction Teacher Pass
Teaching Immigration: Era of Restriction Teacher Pass includes:
- Assignments & Activities
- Reading Quizzes
- Current Events & Pop Culture articles
- Discussion & Essay Questions
- Challenges & Opportunities
- Related Readings in Literature & History
Sample of Challenges & Opportunities
Few historical topics are of such living interest as immigration. This is partially because almost all of us are immigrants or the descendents of immigrants, but it's also because many of the issues surrounding immigration periodically recur; the immigration debates of today often sound a lot like the immigration debates of the past. Therefore we encourage you to take this opportunity to couple your exploration of the historical questions with an examination of the contemporary issues.
One of the activities we recommend requires that your students explore their personal immigration histories. For some this might be simple. But for others this will prove challenging, since many families lose sight of their own stories. You may only be able to generate some student interest in reconstructing their families' pasts at some point in the future. But ideally you will be able to explore the extent to which your class's immigration history parallels that of the nation as a whole.

Domestic violence is a far too common occurrence. It does not discriminate and can happen at any time during a relationship. It takes place in both heterosexual and homosexual relationships. It crosses all ethnic, social, and economic levels.
Signs of domestic violence often are overlooked, denied, or excused. The truth is that there is never an excuse. The only way to end domestic violence is to be aware.
Domestic violence can be more than physical abuse. It can include sexual and emotional abuse as well.

Dr. Lawrence J. McQuillan: Californias Public Pension Crisis
Recorded: Tuesday, June 17, 2014
On June 17, 2014, Sr. Fellow Lawrence McQuillan spoke at an event for supporters of the Independent Institute. Dr. McQuillan spoke about Californias state pension system, a topic he writes about frequently, including in his forthcoming book California Dreamin: Resolving the Public Pension Crisis.
First he defines the types of pension programs for state employees, he outlined how funding for the programs is not sustainable for the promises made to pension recipients. The state admits to an unfunded liability of $140 billion, but McQuillan says that is actually an underestimate. According to most economists, the true amount of the unfunded liability is $430 billion.
How did this happen? McQuillan explains and offers six solutions to keep the pension systems solvent.

Friedrich Hayek and the Future of Liberty
Recorded: Wednesday, May 16, 2001
Friedrich A. Hayek (1899-1992) left such a profound mark on economic and political thought that The New Yorker has called the 20th century, "The Hayek Century." After converting to free-market capitalism and classical liberalism in the 1920s, Hayek became one of socialism's and statism's staunchest critics. His 1944 bestseller, The Road to Serfdom, warned of central government planning's authoritarian, and even totalitarian, tendencies- and helped reignite worldwide interest in the philosophy and practice of freedom. Although Hayek's 1974 Nobel Prize in Economic Science brought renewed interest in his ideas, it wasn't until the collapse of the Soviet Bloc (which Hayek predicted) that his vast writings on economics, political philosophy, law, history, culture, and other fields became broadly recognized as essential to achieve a prosperous, humane and free society. Biographer Alan Ebenstein and economist Charles Baird shed light on Hayek's seminal legacy and the rebirth of freedom.

Reviews for Sengoku[Legacy]
Fun for Paradox Fans only.SaburoSakai | May 14, 2013 | See all SaburoSakai's reviews »
This game is just like many other paradox games less on the action, more about the tactics, political and management of a nation or clan for this example. If you love Civilization , the Total War series and star craft mainly because of the battle factor you will not be a fan of many of paradoxes works. I love this mainly because i have Japanese blood and its fun to mess around with a lot of the history , and maybe even setting a name for your family even though in real life they were treated terribly. Sengoku is a fun game, for those who can love the paradox style, i would sure like more options available in this game, although i feel the time period isn't very good for a paradox game due to the fact that the era is called the Warring Periods.
Good fun for Paradox fanschivshiv | March 5, 2013 | See all chivshiv's reviews »
This game is fun if you're a fan of Paradox's other strategy games like Europa Universalis. The mechanics are quite similar with changes to fit the period and place. This game is huge in terms of controlling a samurai family, every Daimyo/family can be controlled, can award loyal samurai's or ones with good stats a fief(s) or daimyoship, has detailed historical map of Japan during the warring states period, has up to 4 Guild slots to strengten your land or armies and so on Overall it is simpler than EU and Victoria. Managing your clan and family is one of the most distinctive features. I've enjoyed it.
A precursor to CK2DaiMonPaul | Jan. 4, 2013 | See all DaiMonPaul's reviews »
This is a good game made by Paradox, but it's not amongst their best. It plays similarly to Crusader Kings 2 because Paradox used the game as somewhat of a features test for CK2, particularly in the form of character-to-character interaction. When you play, you control a Japanese family and have to use war, intrigue, and marriage to build up your territory. Unlike most other Paradox games, though, this one has a victory condition: have 50% of Japan under your rule. Because of this, the game tends to focus more on military matters than other Paradox games (especially CK2). It's a solid game, and if you're a fan of the Japanese historical setting, then you should pick this up. The Total War: Shogun games take place around the same historical period, but they are very different games. There are no playable battles here... only top-down grand strategy. I personally prefer that, but your mileage may vary. Either way, if you've enjoyed other Paradox games, then you'll like this one, but you'll probably end up playing Crusader Kings 2 more, as it is a bigger and deeper game.
One of Paradox' finestigzaustion | Dec. 15, 2012 | See all igzaustion's reviews »
Excellent grand strategy game with elements of an RPG. This is a good buy for anyone who plays the main Paradox franchises. Basically, this game plays like a Crusader Kings 2 without naval elements, but with a clear goal; unite Japan.
Interesting gamevigotski | Sept. 14, 2011 | See all vigotski's reviews »
All Paradox grand strategy games are very, very good. You can control almost everythig your clan do and it takes a long time for you to make the best decisions. Anyhow, when your armies are well equipped and trained they'll be unstoppable! Sengoku is lot like Total War: Shogun 2 BUT is also has a lot of differences. The gameplay, for instance, is completely different. Maybe because of the historical period, all the units are, sort of, the same. The challenges are difficult but you'll feel really great when you conquer and destroy your rivals! Sengoku is an very good grand strategy game, you should take a look on it!

Simon Delivers going out of business
After nine years in business, grocery delivery will cease at the end of the month, Simon's CEO Liwanag Ojala announced yesterday, attributing flat sales to rising food and gas prices.
Though I've toured the Simon Delivers facilities in New Hope (the logistics are remarkable!), I've never actually used the service--though I can see its appeal for people with large families, small children, etc. I'm interested to see how Simon's departure will affect the local grocery business and if former customers will switch to other grocery delivery services, such as Lunds/Byerly's.
