How To Pull an EngineWritten by on August 9, 1998
It's a grueling task, but all gearheads have to do it. Pulling engines is a fact of life. Motors demand more-power upgrades; stuff breaks; and you haven't lived until you've bought a beater, pulled the engine, and sent the body to the junkyard all in the same day. Some guys swap engines so often that they should have Velcro motor mounts. But if you're not at that point, then jerking out an 800-pound chunk of iron from under the hood is probably way intimidating. That's understandable if you need to yank the engine from a late-model car with every trick gizmo, every computer-controlled option, and miles of smog stuff. Frankly, we'd hate to be you. But if you have a typical fullsize, carbureted musclecar, you should have no problem liberating the engine in a couple of hours. That's why we're here to give you a few pointers.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The first thing you're going to need is an engine hoist. Make sure the legs are low enough to fit under your car and the reach is long enough. If at all possible, get a hoist with a valve handle that is not activated with the jack handle. A lever makes it much easier to control while lowering the engine. We love our BlueBird hoist, but good ones can be mail-ordered from Harbor Freight for as low as $199.99. Our local rentals are around $35 a day.Your next choice is whether you'll pull the engine with or without the trans attached. With manual trannies, we almost always remove the trans and leave the bellhousing on the engine. When doing this, or when leaving an auto trans in the car, you can often pull the engine almost straight up. That allows you to use a lift plate that bolts to the carb flange. We found ours at Jeg's for $19.99.If you're going to leave the trans attached, then you'll need to angle the engine/trans combo a bunch when removing it. That's tough with a pull plate, so a weight-rated chain attached to sturdy bolt holes on the front and rear of the cylinder heads is best. This gives you the option of grabbing the chain in a number of places to cant the engine. Wanna spend more for trick stuff? TD Performance sells an engine-tilting tool so you can adjust the angle as you pull.Unless you're living in the 󈨊s, your street machine has a hood. And unless you have a 5.0 Mustang and can open the lid really wide, the hood's gonna have to come off to remove the engine. You'll mess up the alignment unless you mark the hinges so the hood can be bolted back on in the same place. You can scratch marks with a screwdriver, outline the hinge with a marker, or be more friendly by using masking tape, as shown. Once the hood is on, ease it down to make sure it fits correctly or you might chip the paint. Also, your new engine might have a taller intake--don't put a zit in the center of the hood with the carb stud.When removing the radiator, make sure to properly dispose of the antifreeze; animals love the taste, but it kills 'em grotesquely. Once we removed the radiator, we put the hoses back on it so we didn't have to remember how they went; it's also a good way to store the hose clamps. Don't forget the heater hoses too. It's most convenient to remove the engine with the most possible drive accessories still attached, but it's common to have to unbolt at least the fan so the engine can clear the radiator support as it's removed.If the car you're working on has air conditioning, unbolt the compressor from the engine without undoing the hoses and releasing the high-pressure refrigerant into the atmosphere. Use the same technique for the power-steering pump to avoid a mess. Just leave the A/C compressor and the pump plumbed into the engine compartment. Mechanic's wire can also be used to support the transmission if you leave it in the car once the engine is removed.It's easy to overlook the one or two electric cables that attach to the starter studs. If the headers clear, when you're removing the trans or bellhousing with the engine, it might not be necessary to unbolt the starter. To make swaps simpler, Moroso offers a quick-connect starter plug for GM or Tilton starters (PNs 74250 and 74245, respectively). Note that we removed this 318 Mopar with the bellhousing and clutch fork intact.It's rookie, but it works: Use masking tape and a marker to label all the wires and vacuum hoses you remove from the engine, or else you'll forget where they go. Be careful not to obliterate your labels if you wash the engine compartment while the engine is removed. You can also aid reassembly by shooting pictures of all the linkage and accessory-drive brackets before you unbolt them. Quick tip: Frequent engine swappers put all the wiring on quick-disconnects to save time.
There's lots of linkage to remove: throttle, kick-down, TV, shifter, and clutch. Again, take photos. Here we've removed the carb to use a lift plate, and if we cared about the engine we would have taped the plenum closed The distributor cap was removed, as that's usually necessary just to prevent smashing it. If you use a chain to lift the engine, you might need to pad the carb and distributor with rags.Exhaust manifolds often needn't be removed, but with full-length headers, there's no choice. Soak all the exhaust bolts with rust penetrant long before you begin. When you're unbolting the headers, take note of the bolts that go into the water jacket. It's best to put studs in those locations to ease future R&R, assuming the headers have room to slide on and off the studs. Also take note of the location of any specialized header bolts, such as those on 440 Mopar manifolds. Finally, keep in mind during engine removal that some headers capture suspension components and may not slide upward out of the car without some disassembly of the suspension.With an auto trans, it's virtually impossible to avoid massive leakage unless you drain it by dropping the pan. Otherwise, the dipstick is sure to come out and puke everywhere. We always plug the tailshaft with a spare yoke to prevent spillage, but even some rags and duct tape will help.We normally remove a manual trans from the bellhousing before pulling the engine; otherwise the engine would need to be pulled straight forward very far to disengage the trans input shaft. We never remove the motor-mount bolts until the trans is removed (no need dropping the engine on your head) and always support the engine with one floor jack while we use a second to manipulate the tranny.The very last thing to do before yanking the engine is to remove the motor-mount bolts (usually one per side, sometimes two), but never stick your finger in the mount-bolt hole while fishing out the bolt. Now you're ready to hook up the hoist and battle the headers and anything you forgot to unhook as you and a friend work out the engine. You'll usually have to use a jack under the tranny and repeatedly work the engine up, forward, and eventually out of the car without bashing the firewall or the radiator support or draining fluid everywhere. The loose engine should be put on a stand (many are under $100 from Harbor Freight), but it can also rest in the center of a used tire.

NCAA Grants Gibbs A Sixth Year - GoCreighton.com, The Official Site of Bluejay Athletics
I dont want tot hate on Gibbs as I like his style of play, and he is a Iowa boy... But how does the NCAA give him a 6th year???

Bluejays' Grant Gibbs granted sixth year of eligibility - Omaha.com
He had a shoulder injury and did not play a single minute his freshman year at Gonzaga
What happened to 5 to play 4?

So... wouldnt that be a redshirt year? plus he transfered and sat out a year...
also didnt we try this with Marquis Gilstrap? And the NCAA denied it?

NCAA has an auto-reply set up in their Outlook for appeal emails from ISU that send the deny message.
This seems unusual because the 6th year is typically only given to players who miss 2 years with injury. Gibbs only missed one with an injury and the other was the mandatory year for the transfer. Don't know what the exception was here.
Now Doug becomes a walk-on.....
This seems pretty ridiculous. I don't get it. He essentially got a free transfer year.
Originally Posted by cyhawkdmb

If I remember correctly, we all assumed that the ncaa declined his request but much later he hinted that he had chosen not to pursue it since he was leaving ISU along with everyone else.
Do many, if any football players who RS their freshman year, and then get injured for a year get hardships? I guess if they do, than I could see Gibbs deserving one, but Burnham at Tulsa didn't get one.
This is probably what his expensive lawyers drove home with the NCAA:
Gibbs' situation is murkier because the second season he sat out was a result of his transfer, though he likely couldn't have played at all anyway had he remained at Gonzaga as a result of undergoing knee surgery.

So when I met and fell in love with my husband, it was crucial that I perfect his favorite foods because I wanted him to know how much I loved him. On the top of the list: cherries. He loves cherry desserts every which way: cherry pie, cherry cobbler, chocolate cherry cordials, cherries, cherries and cherries. One thing that's a must for him is that the cherries appear in their most natural state. I tend to agree. Many cherry pie recipes include ingredients like cornstarch or tapioca to thicken the fruit filling, and I find it unnecessary and sometimes unappetizing.
The first time I made my husband this cherry crumble, I also made him a deal. If he washed, pitted, and chopped all the cherries, I'd make the crumble. Cherries are not an easy fruit to deal with and I dreaded cutting away all those seeds by hand. The pits are, well, the pits.
However, when we registered for our wedding, we found this little gadget and suddenly cherries weren't so daunting. The OXO cherry pitter is still in frequent use in our kitchen, more than four years later. In that time, I've gotten the cherry crumble recipe down to just five ingredients and I can whip one up in no time.
|no longer intimidating.
A note on the crumble: my mom's 'recipe' for the crumble mixture is basically to combine equal parts flour and sugar, then add the butter 'until it's right.' I've found success with these ratios, but you can certainly add more/less butter until the mixture is a consistency you're happy with.
|this is what 'until it's right' looks like.
Simple Cherry Crumble
Makes eight servingsIngredients:
2 lbs fresh cherries – washed, pitted, stemmed and cut into thirds
juice of one lemon
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 stick cold butter, cut into small cubes
Preparation:Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare an 8" or 9" square baking dish with nonstick spray.
Mix cherries and lemon juice in large bowl; set aside.Using a stand mixer*, combine flour and sugar in a large bowl. Fit with paddle attachment and turn on lowest setting. Add cubes of butter, a couple at a time, until butter is slowly incorporated and mixture resembles wet sand. Take one tablespoon of mixture and blend completely into cherries. Pour cherries into prepared pan. Top with crumb mixture, using hands crush & sprinkle into pebble-sized crumbles. Bake until cherries are bubbly and hot, about 45 minutes. If desired, broil on low to brown the top. Allow to rest 10 minutes before serving. Top with ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
*This step can also be done by hand. Incorporate butter cubes, a couple at a time, and crush with hands until sandy texture is achieved.
|the humble crumble.
I had the opportunity to showcase the cherry crumble recipe - and one of my favorite gadgets - on Talk of the Town. My lucky husband gets the leftovers from the demo.
OXO is hosting a Cherry Recipe Contest, and I'm entering this recipe. The cherry pitter is something I purchased myself, and my testimony for the product is sincere.

Free HD for life (24 months for existing subs)
Posted 20 August 2012 - 09:39 AM
So we called DIRECTV again and was immediately told our 24month credit had expired but they could offer us $10 for one year. We read them the email that we had received (it is quoted many times in the above posts) and asked them if they agreed that the offer is for 24 additional months. The nice CSR agreed but said she could not correct it and would get us in touch with Promotions. We went through the same discussion with promotions who had us read them the email word-for-word. After reading the email she reinstated our 24month discount. This is how it reads on our bill online:
08/19/2012 XXXXXXXX____ Advanced Receiver-HD - 24mosFreeHDAcc ($10.00) ($1.32)
Just seems odd that we had to call two separate months to get this credit again. Though I know it is playing CSR roulette, it may help if you quote to them the email/postcard in its entirety and have them interpret it to you. If it is worded in such a way that they agree it implies you should receive 2 more years free HD, then they will probably make it happen like they did for me.
Good luck everyone!
Posted 20 August 2012 - 10:46 AM
Well, after checking, they said they did not have the ability to extend the HD credit, BUT they could offer me either a 24 month $10 credit off my base package (CHOICE XTRA) OR a 12 month credit of $20. Go figure! I took the 12 month $20 credit which does include a 12 month commitment. If I cancel, I have to pay $10 for every month of an early cancellation.
So, I plan to call back again in 12 months. After reading the last few posts of this thread, I continue to be amazed how D* has so many different ways of doing things. You would think there would be more consistency. I've been a customer since 2001.
Just checked my account. Here is the entry:
CHOICE XTRA CLASSIC - $20/12mos/Agree ($20.00) $0.00

---My Free HD for 2 years expired recently. I'm still on autopay and subscribed to Premier, is there a way to reapply my High Definition discount?
Let me check. I think we can do that, sure let's renew you for Free HD for another 24 months. Wow, it looks like you've been with us for a long time. Anything else I can do for you tonight?
--- Hmmmm. Yep, been with Direct since summer 1994. Are there any other promotions I qualify for?
Well, are you interested in Football?
-- College!
Ohh, I guess you are interested in Sunday Ticket. We do have an HBO promotion $5 off for 6 months?
-- No not interested in the NFL for now, but thank you for the HBO offer.
You're welcome. Have a wonderful evening and let us know if there's anything else we can do.
-- Thanks a lot. Good Night!
Afterwards I felt all warm, fuzzy, and loved just like being swaddled by a Disney CSR.

I had intended to increase the programming package and request the HD credit for next 24 months if I sign them up for autopay. I was afraid that I would not get the other credits if I asked for HD fee credits.
Do they still offer HD credit with autopay if you didn't have it previously or will the other credits disqualify me now?

I called my electric company and they wouldn't give me a discount either. So I switched to another electric provider.
Did they send you a card in the mail, promising discounts?

Just because you find them confusing does not mean that they will be changed. As with anything a company sends out it will go through the legal teams and make sure that it's legally accurate. As a general rule, for almost every company, all communications that go out are written for a Jr High level education.
They are very clear in what this is if you just read it and not make assumptions on word interpretations. However we read what we want to and hear what we want to. You want this to mean that it's an extension so that's how you choose to interpret it.
Attitudes like this WILL cost D* customers!

I am certainly for promotions to get new customers but the "Free for Life" for new customers when this came out was just way out there. Most promotions are short time. If you figure $10 per month for the length of time I have been with them and probably will be in the future it is a HUGE amount and to me it is just not the thing to do.
DTV lost subscribers in the USA in the last quarter for the first time in many years. This promotion upset me more than anything has since I have been with them and I have seen some really nasty posts about this on here and the DTV forum.
On the opposite side of the coin, they do try to work with you with cutting down on your bill if you call them. Quite often they will give you some type of promotion that is going on and I appreciate them doing that.

I just called. No luck with the free HD. Never had it before so figured I would try. Even asked about any offers for the HR-34 receiver. Still $399. I'll try another time.

I have the Premier package but have been seriously thinking about dropping down to Choice Ultimate, keeping HBO and HD Extra pack. I would lose the Sports Pack but don't watch any of them anyway so no big loss to me. There does not seem to be much in the way of promotions for anyone with the Premier package since you have just about all they offer anyway. Anyone have experience with downgrading from Premier? What were you offered?
They will offer you all kinds of discounts to keep the Premier package. Usually $5 off X movie channel, $5 off Y movie channel, etc. You can get up to about $30 off for 6 months to stay with premier.

Why would they offer to discount one or more of the movie channels when they are already part of the package anyway? It's not an option for me to drop one or the other movie channel with Premier. I wish they would offer to discount one or more of the DVRs or free HD for a year or more, etc. I guess I'll never know until I ask.

Mr. XXX, it is customers like you who have supported us from the beginning, which has contributed to our success. With this, through all available ways, we want to extend our appreciation to tenured customers. A tenured DIRECTV customer, such as yourself can easily accumulate more promotional offers throughout the lifetime of their DIRECTV account than a new customer would when they first sign up.
We want to talk to you on these offers we have on the account, specifically on the HD Access credit, since this concern is best addressed over the phone. Please call us at 800-531-5000 between 8:00 AM to 1:00 AM, so that one our highly trained customer service representatives can help you get the programming you are looking for at the best possible price. I assure you that we work with our customers to find a solution that best fits their needs.
I was hoping, after nearly 16 years, it might be a simple request, I suppose I should call in the morning:)

Unless you take the $20 off per month for 12 months... they extend you 1 year for that (or at least that's what I've seen everyone here reporting, as well as what I got).
Have they not usually offered discounts for extending the commitment period in the past?

I don't expect to get anything with a contract, but are they consecutive or concurrent if someone is already under contract for doing something like getting a DVR?

Video: DC Sniper Prepares For Execution
WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to block Tuesday's scheduled execution for the DC Sniper.
The hours leading up to 9 p.m. Tuesday are extremely tense for both the victims' families and the attorneys who hold out hope Muhammad's life will be spared.
9NEWS NOW talked with two men from very different positions who will be at the prison to watch Muhammad die. Nelson Rivera wants to witness his wife's killer's last moments. And Jon Sheldon has done everything possible as the DC Sniper's attorney to save the killer's life.
Nelson Rivera's wife Lori was vacuuming her car at a gas station when she was gunned down and killed. Rivera says, "They don't belong here they don't belong on this earth they are monsters."
Nelson Rivera would be celebrating his 15th wedding anniversary this month had it not been for the DC sniper who killed his wife Lori as she was cleaning out her car. He's waited 7 years for Muhammad's execution.
Rivera says, "I want to see him die because he gave no chance to my wife and none for the victims."
One person who will have contact with Muhammad in the last moments of his life will be the killer's attorney Jon Sheldon. With the High Court's ruling Sheldon sees the chances dim for Muhammad's life to be spared. Sheldon says he is sympathetic with the victims' families but he just wanted the courts to hear about his mental illness.
A disappointed Sheldon says, "Precisely those cases that evoke the most emotion, the most anger should abide by the same rules. It should not be rushed to judgement. Our argument has been based on his mental illness. He ought to get one hearing."
Rivera says, "No, that's what I call a joke, he's not mentally ill."
He says, "After tomorrow he will not be here I won't think about him anymore, and this will be last chapter of the book and leave it there and my wife will live in my heart everyday.
Although, Rivera has made a new life in California, remarried and has a new family, it hasn't stopped the pain of missing Lori.
Rivera says, "He ruined my life, my wife's life, my daughter's life all our family just devastating, yep. This won't bring her back. Justice, I believe in justice."
Governor Tim Kaine will make a decision whether to grant clemency Tuesday. The prison has denied Muhammad's family visitation. Muhammad's attorneys are still waiting for Muhammad's children to get the chance to see their father one last time.
Muhammad's family is not allowed to witness the execution.

My buddy and I are going to Alaska this year for a Dall, Moose, and Grizz hunt. We have 15 days of actual hunting and are pumped for it! We are going with an outfitter as we are non-res Aliens. Just wondering about other peoples experiences and how realistic is it to expect to be able to get all three animals in this amount of time? I am realistically hoping for 2 out of the 3 species. We will be in the Alaska Range as well.
Also just wondering what other hunters have experienced hunting this range.

The Yakima Gunwale Brackets set of 4 carry a canoe by the gunwales with a soft, rounded shape. Easier to load, thanks to rounded outer edge and lower height. Quick and easy to install on round or square crossbars. Long lasting stainless steel hardware insures the good times keep rolling. One pair of heavy duty straps with padded buckles included. Safe transporting is completed with Bow/Stern tie down straps-sold seperatly.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Holds my surfski
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Just what I needed to securely hold my upside down 21 foot surfski on the roof of my Outback.
Does it right!
Seriously - If you put big bucks into your watercraft - you should invest in transporting it safely and securely. These brackets will do just this. I have an '06 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab with a camper shell. Yak bars on landing pads front and rear. Between these gunwale brackets and the supplied tie-downs I don't even bother with bow and stern straps. I've traveled from CA to NY at 80 mph in high winds and never had a problem. Love the security. The rubber pads and soft tie-down straps do a great job of protecting my cedar-strip canoes finish.
Makes it tight and right...
Canoe Transport!
This is really a solid product. I use the gunwale brackets with my Yakima Dry Dock and bow /stern tie downs. Highway speeds, bumpy roads have never been a problem. Very secure transport for my boat. High quality materials are holding up very well. I would def recommend.
Yakima Gunwale brackets
This is the second set of the Yakima Gunwale brackets that I have purchased so we can now transport two canoes. Installation is easy and fast. They work perfect and hold your canoe right where you want it. The included straps hold tight and do not loosen up like the less expensive straps. I would highly recommend this product.
Great for your canoe
I also had to invert the gunwale brackets on my rack, but they work just as good like that, resisting any laterial forces on the canoe as you turn a corner.
They're great!
They do exactly what they're designed to do. I use the Yakima Canoe Tie Downs, and my 17ft canoe doesn't budge, even on windy freeways.
ladders or canoes
these are great for carrying ladders or other long objects on the roof, as well as canoes.
Gunwale Brackets set of 4
I put these on my Yakima rack system and they really work great, for securing my 17' canoe to the top of my truck. The straps that come with it our outstanding.
Not for all luggage racks
The brackets work well on conventional luggage racks but not on my Isuzu Rodeo.
They're compact and easy to use.
I have a Yakima Copperhead rack on my roof...
I have a Yakima Copperhead rack on my roof already, will these brackets lift my canoe above my bike rack so I can mount my boat without removing it?
If your canoe is long enough and deep enough, in theory it should fit over the copperhead rack.
Does anyone know whether the Yakima gunwale...
Does anyone know whether the Yakima gunwale racks will work on my 08 RAV4?
It should. An easy way to make certain is to go to the link up top that says build your own rack, but if you have round or square bars, this should work.
Will this system work on a conventional...
Will this system work on a conventional pickup, on top of the cab?
Yes, But you should make sure the center of gravity of the canou is between your bar racks to avoid asymetrically loading one set. With reduced distance between bars on the cab of a truck you must have the bow and stern tied really securely.

The Exercise Science program aims at developing those cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills that equip students to perform competently in the program's science based core and selected electives. The interdisciplinary academic structure of the program arises from the belief that critical thinking, effective writing, clear articulation, and strong analytical skills are crucial elements in the mastery of all subject matter. In this, and in its emphasis on developing the well-rounded person, the Exercise Science program pursues goals and objectives that are congruent with those of the College of Liberal Arts curriculum.
The Exercise Science program at Willamette University is designed to meet the needs of our student population, focusing on the development of the total person as it is expressed in the classical Greek emphasis on the interaction of mind, body, and spirit. The department achieves these ends by offering an Exercise Science major and service classes.
The major provides students with the essential knowledge and training to pursue a wide variety of career opportunities. In the past decade, the majority of graduates from the program have continued on to graduate studies in fields such as allied health and medicine, teaching, research in Exercise Science, and activity related business. Individual internship programs and field experiences are available to expand students' practical knowledge in their particular areas of interest.
The focus of the service activity offerings is the development of leisure and lifetime skills to accommodate the changing lifestyles of our society and increase the potential for personal fulfillment through physical activity.
The department is housed on the 4th floor of the Collins Science Center. Departmental teaching and research facilities include two wired classrooms in Sparks Center, a separate Integrated Exercise Science laboratory in Gatke Hall and a cadaver laboratory in Collins Science Center.

This is a 3000x3000 map I made in Photoshop CS6 of an island used by Silt Pirates for my Dark Sun campaign. The leader of the pirates is an evil earth cleric hence the shrine in the ruins building he occupies.
The vehicles are sail powered silt skimmers which can navigate shallower areas of the Silt Sea using their 25 ft diameter wheels.
I have also attached a link to a .png file of the island with no silt sea and no skimmers so it can be used in non Dark Sun campaigns more easily.

'Mountain Stage' anniversary commemorated in art
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- "Mountain Stage" assistant producer Vasilia Scouras said it's hard not to notice that 2013 is a big year for anniversaries. It's the 150th birthday for West Virginia, and "Mountain Stage" is marking 30 years on the air.
The producers of "Mountain Stage" started bouncing around ideas in December for ways to commemorate the occasion.
"It's kind of funny," Scouras said. "I'm part of this new group of 'Mountain Stage' that sort of came after the show. I mean, I was a year old when the show began, and the way I look at it is different than how some of the people who've been with the show for years and years might see it."
Perspective is part of what led her to think about reaching out to local artists to help "Mountain Stage" put together a special art show during FestivALL.
"The arts community has always been very supportive of us," Scouras said. "They come to our shows, and we wanted to see how they see 'Mountain Stage.'"
So, the radio program commissioned artists in towns where they most often perform to produce works. The special show will be exhibited June 20-30 at Good News Mountaineer Garage's offices on Hale Street.
Among the artists showing work are Charleston-based artists Ian Bode and Jamie Miller, as well as Glen Brogan, of Huntington, and Brian Pickens, of Morgantown.
"Everybody was super-willing to do the work," Scouras said. "Everyone thought it was just a nice thing to be involved and they worked really hard."
Bode, who was busy working on his third Peer to Pier mural for FestivALL, said it was honor to be asked. "I guess they're fans of my work. I included 'Mountain Stage' in my Pier to Pier piece I did on the history of music."
Bode said he is also a fan of the show. In addition to both going to and listening to shows, Bode has featured the radio program in his art since the Peer to Pier work.
"I did a big 'Mountain Stage' painting that Bob and Suzanne Coffield bought," he said. "It's part of a solo show I'm doing at Carnegie Hall [in Lewisburg] and has some of my favorite bands in it."
Scouras said the artists received commissions. "It was really important to me that we assigned some value to this. We're a state agency, we don't have a lot, but we thought it was important that the artists got paid."
The amount was small, she said, but payment included tickets to the show.
Members of the "Mountain Stage" crew will be contributing pieces to the exhibit as well.
"We've got artists who work on the show," Scouras said. "Joey Ansel is an artist and Lance Shrader is doing something made from Legos."
Scouras, a visual artist and printmaker herself, said she considered putting something of her own art in the show but thought she just wasn't ready.
"I wasn't brave enough," she laughed.
She said the show also features some of the photography of longtime "Mountain Stage" photographer Brian Blauser, plus cellphone pictures taken by Christopher Morris and plenty of memorabilia.
"We've got some really good pictures that showcase the kids of 'Mountain Stage,'" she said. "These are the kids who grew up around the show."
During the 10-day exhibit, Scouras said personnel from the show will pop in and out daily to talk about the show. Some of them, like Woogie Jarrell, have a million stories.
There is a lot of nostalgia with the art show, but it's also meant to show off the individual perspectives and impressions about "Mountain Stage."
Scouras' own perspective is relatively fresh. She came to the radio show through her work with FestivALL, starting in 2005.
Scouras laughed and said the thing she remembered most about that year was hanging catfish, but through FestivALL she met Larry Groce and Adam Harris, who later offered her a job in the "Mountain Stage" office.
She said she's glad to be a part of the show and grateful to get the chance to share a little bit of the past, present and world backstage with "Mountain Stage."
"Being around for 30 years is a pretty big accomplishment," she said. "Trust me, I did it not too long ago myself."

PETE YOST, Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - A Justice Department document says it is legal for the government to kill U.S. citizens abroad if it believes they are senior al-Qaida leaders continually engaged in operations aimed at killing Americans.
The confidential memo, first reported Monday night by NBC News, provides a legal rationale behind the Obama administration's use of drone strikes against al-Qaida suspects.
The 16-page document says that delaying action against individuals continually planning to kill Americans would create an unacceptably high risk.
It adds that the threat posed by al-Qaida and its associated forces demands a broader concept of when a person continually planning terror attacks presents an imminent threat.

I just got the genie and the install for $0 along with $25 off a month for 12 months.
Am I better off keeping the HR20s I have for the other TVs or get the C31 for the TVs to connect to the genie? I don't really have a need for more than 5 tuners. Also, I don't currently have a SWM switch. Do I need that? The CSR on the phone said I didn't but from reading this forum, it looks like I do. Can that work with my current dish or will it require a new dish also?
SWM is required. If you keep your HR20's, they will keep your current dish and LNBs, and install a SWM16. If you get C31s, and have only the HR34, they'll swap out the LNB.
Keep in mind, if you watch live TV on a C31, each one takes a tuner from the HR34. If they are off or watching something recorded, they don't take a tuner.

Goodguys Southwest Nationals Scottsdale - Best Of The SouthwestWritten by on April 1, 2012 Arizona's finest at the Goodguys Show in Scottsdale
Southern California hot rodders are raised to believe that we live in the center of the hot rodding universe, where trends are born and where all the finest cars can be found. That's actually in our school textbooks. So naturally, we feel a little confused when we drive across the desert to Scottsdale, Arizona, for the Goodguys Spring Nationals (in March) or the Goodguys Southwest Nationals (in November) and find ourselves surrounded by thousands of exceptional rods, customs, classic trucks, and muscle cars that aren't from California! We're getting used to it though.
We were back at WestWorld of Scottsdale for the second-to-last Goodguys show of the year. The new Goodguys event in Del Mar means that Scottsdale isn't their season finale anymore, but Goodguys still uses this show to award the Muscle Car of the Year and to display other "Of The Year" winners from the season, including Hot Rod of the Year.
Other attractions include the humongous exhibitor building, crowded with aftermarket manufacturers promoting their newest products, and the always-fantastic swap meet with not-so-new but valuable merchandise. In between the two are 19 acres filled with approximately 2,000 show cars of every description. Here are some of our favorites. Not every car in this article is from Arizona, but not one of them is from California. That's humbling for us, but we'll get over it.
Painless Performance Products Presents STREET RODDER TOP 100
For the Top 100 program, STREET RODDER attends 10 particular car shows each year and picks 10 vehicles at each to make up the Top 100. For more on where those shows are and how they're voted on, check www.streetrodder.com.
Tech Tip
Harness loom
PowerBraid loom from Painless is an open-weave, high-temperature loom, which will allow moisture to pass through and not puddle inside like a conventional loom. PowerBraid is also split and has great memory so installation is simple. This black covering will enhance any project.
John Greenwood Sun Lake, AZ
'47 Ford Club Coupe
The '47 was a team effort between John Greenwood (a body and fender guy) and his son-in-law, Bob Youngsma (a mechanical guy). When he bought it online sight unseen, John discovered the coupe was as pristine as advertised. He and Youngsma pulled off the front and rebuilt everything from the firewall forward. The straight-axle frontend was replaced by a Mustang II independent suspension. Interior upgrades include Pontiac Sunbird seats, bright red upholstery, a Flaming River shifter column, and a set of Auto Meter gauges.
The engine compartment was finished with handbuilt inner aprons and packed with a 302ci Ford Racing crate engine, backed by a C4 transmission and Ford 8-inch rearend.
"I wanted it to be a little different than some of the other '47s I've seen," John told us. He certainly succeeded.

Dale and Joann Lackore shipped their '55 Olds to Pleasanton and were en route home to Texas when we met them. Dale has built the car three times in 43 years. The current version runs a 455 Olds engine and is modified with '56 tailfins and taillights, a '58 Impala roof, Fatman frontend, and 138 hood louvers, among other things.Lots of red and white Tommy the Greek–style 'striping is the finishing touch on Jerry Kilgore's traditional '32 roadster. The Chevy 350 is treated to triple Rochester 2G carbs, Olds Rocket valve covers, and megaphone headers. It's backed by a five-speed.That's the original factory paint on Denny and Bonnie Cissell's '49 Pontiac. Denny goes in for genuine GM accessories like the visor, umbrella case, hat holder, and tissue dispenser, plus a '55 A/C unit. The engine is a high-compression inline-eight.Don Stevens has owned his '30 A roadster for 25 years, but this was its maiden voyage after being totaled four years ago. The four-banger runs Winfield carbs and a Miller head. Headlights are '29 Woodlites. The Kelsey Hayes wire and Norm Grabowski shifter knob remind us of the '29 Stevens had here last time.The hood louvers in Bill Andreski's '56 Plymouth were punched with Ed Roth's old 3-inch louver press. A new crate Hemi sits underneath, tied to a Tremec five-speed. The seats are covered in original seat cover fabric.All '57 Ford two-door wagons are awesome, but Terry and Ellie Jones' Ford 390-powered custom cruiser, with '57 Fairlane quarters, hardtop-style doors, leather upholstery, '58 Ford headlights, and about 100 others mods, is especially awesome.This show seems to attract great early Ford sedans, such as Steve Bryant's olive green Tudor and that burgundy one in the background. Bryant's '31 with a '32 grille is powered by a Chevy small-block with an Offenhauser intake and a pair of deuces. A pair of bomber buckets seats were added inside.The wheels and fenders on the teardrop trailer were matched to those on Gene Alexander's '40 Ford, all the way from Superior, NE. With a white tuck 'n' roll split bench seat, Mooneyes gauges, wide whites, and that teardrop, Alexander's coupe looks like it just arrived from the '60s.
The only way this just-finished '31 roadster pickup would look better is with salt under it. Ron Simm was going for a salt racer theme and the ET wheels, zoomies, nerf bar, rear push bar, and aluminum bomber seats take it there. Note the louvered '33 grille. It rides on a homebuilt chassis with split wishbones in front and rear quarter-elliptic springs.Larry Vail, Surprise, AZ / '32 Ford roadster The essential, simple, homebuilt hot rod. Larry Vail modified the repro steel roadster body with a cowl vent and cowl bead. The Speedway buckets were altered and anodized to look old; plans are to do the same to the wheels. The engine is a Chevy small-block. "This is not a show car, it's a driver," Larry told us. So we gave it an award.Larry & Dee Wilson, Gilbert, AZ / '55 Buick Century This just-finished Chevy 454-powered maroon and tan Buick is a driver, riding on a Mustang II–style frontend and four-bar rear. The interior was redone with a modified dash and a pair of refinished Honda bucket seats, with A/C from Vintage Air. Larry Wilson couldn't wait to fire up the big-block, drawing a crowd.Bob Kile, Scottsdale, AZ / '31 Ford roadster pickup This two-owner, old-time traditional rod was bought from the Texas rancher who bought it new and hot-rodded with all pre-'48 or similar parts. The Flathead wears an Eddie Meyer intake, heads, and manifold, with a '39 transmission and Zephyr gears behind it. The Z'd rear 'rails and dropped axle bring it down 2-1/2 inches.Tim Kirby, Fountain Hills, AZ / '33 Ford coupe Fenderless '33 coupes make knockout hot rods, as this chopped-and-channeled beauty from Hot Rods by Dean proves. Three deuces feed the old 303 mill, which is hooked to a five-speed trans. The wheels are original 16-inch Kelsey Hayes "milk truck" wheels. The interior is covered in black tuck 'n' roll Naugahyde, and the headlights are from a '35 Nash.Jim Bridgewater, Paradise Valley, AZ / '40 Ford convertible After buying the convertible three years ago, Jim Bridgewater swapped the ZZ3 for a GM Ram Jet. Components like the Heidt's IFS front end, rear airbags, and Cadillac eight-way power seats make the contemporary very enjoyable on the street.Dave McGary, Paradise Valley, AZ / '39 Lincoln Zephyr There aren't many of these classics left, and few as nicely done at this mildly modified specimen. The original V-12 features rare Skoval heads and is fed by a pair of Strombergs. The oval vent windows are rare accessories. Dave McGary is the second owner and added a modern sound system with a CD player and satellite radio.Allan Walsh, Gilbert, AZ / '51 Chevy The screaming green paint, Watson-inspired scallops, and Radir wheels on this Chevy sled caught our eye. The top was chopped 4 inches and the B-pillar removed to make it a hardtop, and an airbag suspension slams it to the ground. A 383 Chevy stroker powers the custom, which was built at Sledsville.Floyd Oldewurtel, Phoenix, AZ / '30 Ford coupe Notice anything different about the dimensions on this cool, owner-built coupe? In order to fit the twin-cam Ford engine, the custom-fabricated frame and hood were stretched 6 inches. The body is original with a 6-inch chop. And the color is not white, but the palest shade of gray.
Charlie Sumrall, Peoria, AZ / '32 Ford coupe Built with a reproduction body, but intended to look old. A 250ci inline-six engine, Winters quick-change, external hinges, and front and rear buggy springs contribute to the nostalgic style. The grille is from a Thames truck, made in the U.K. by Ford. Charlie's Deuce coupe rides on a stretched, kicked, and pinched frame.James Abraham, Phoenix, AZ / '50 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 convertible Talk about stunning, this gorgeous resto-custom spent years disassembled in boxes before its transformation. Now it's powered by a Chevy Ram Jet FI engine and modified with custom leather seats, Halibrand wheels, Fatman Fabrications independent front suspension, and a deep black finish.The Ford Racing 302 crate engine makes 340 hp and looks great. John accessorized it with a Vintage Air Front Runner serpentine drive system. "It's a good strong engine and gets a lot of compliments," he says.

Chicken breasts with rib meat & mashed potatoes is my favorite.
Same as HuntWyoDon, but I have to put Chilli Mac in there. I take along pepper seeds and give certain meals a dash, as I like spicy food. It add something extra to the meals on a cold evening.
Beef Stroganoff
Lasagna with Meat Sauce
Chicken Teriyaki
So far, the only two that I really didn't care for and won't buy again are:
Buffalo Chicken
Mac n Cheese
Beef Stroganoff and Mac & Cheese. But my new favorite is Seafood Chowder it's the bomb!
Aim small, Miss small.
Don't really care for much of it...! In the early 60's I hiked the total Muir Trail in 2 months and got my fill of DriLite, couldn't wait to catch some trout! Also ate enough C Rats in the Army to last a lifetime. I'll take some fresh backstraps and baked spud any day.

Howdy all,
I've been searching around the forums for relevant information about how to setup and maintain a good briefcase implementation for our users.
We have lots of Graphic users who make large image files which must be shared overseas. We do not want to email them.
Zimbra has Briefcase and document functionality which will allow our users to upload these files to the server (like a sharepoint system) and send a link to the overseas users to go retrieve those files. Great function, and a strong strong reason to use ZCS.
The above seems like a great idea, except our zimbra server will not allow users to upload any files larger than 10MB. It error's out with an "attachment too big" message.
The briefcase screen upload screen lets people know that they can upload 100MB files as a default, but it seems to be lying.
I have reset the zimbraFileUploadMax size to 100 MB, but still experience the same error.
Any help or suggestions?
If there is some better search Kung-fu for the answer in other threads, I'd love to see that as well.

Gov't: Food Allergies May Be Disability Under Law

WASHINGTON (AP) — Allergic to gluten? What about peanuts? Federal disabilities law may be able to help....

i've had allergies for almost 50 years now.finally stopped shots 3 years ago.it has made me miserable over the years but i worked every day.never wanted something for nothing.get your shots and get over it.food allergies would be easy since you just have to stay away from those foods that you are allergic to.trees,grasses,molds.etc. are everywhere.this has to be someones version of a joke.lookout working group.they're going to hit us again for more freebies.

Part 2... She was told she might not live past 30. When the article said people get sick. This means violently sick and in the hospital. Celiac disease is an AUTO IMMUNE DISEASE. My daughters immune system is always compromised and she is very susceptible to getting sick and with rare things too. Earlier this year she had to be in a wheelchair for nearly a month. Up until 1 year ago, she showed no signs or symptoms of anything. Now, her future is completely changed. She is more susceptible to getting other Auto Immune diseases, like Diabetes... Please eduate yourself on a subject before deciding on an opinion. Yes, most people with a food disability will not need assistance however, there are people out there that have been so afflected, they need help. Many people can't even walk into a building without having a reaction because they are so sensitive. This is not something that can be chosen or not.

It disappoints me to hear the lack of knowledge about people with food restrictions. First, there are varying degrees of all food restrictions. Some can be easily avoided while others are not. It is not about "being stupid enough to ingest foods they are allergic". Many foods say they do not contain the ingredient but they do not say they were processed in an environment with the problem food. Celiac disease is not curable. You can be diagnosed with it in any part of your life. I know an 85 year old that was just diagnosed. My 8 year old has celiac disease. She weighs 38 pounds because of her body starving itself due to the celiac disease. Her mental and physical function is also decreased due to this. What this article fails to say about the severity of it... A LOT! It affects the entire body, including the life span. Again, the sensitivity of each person varies. I know a 26 year old that needs to have a large portion of her intestine cut out because hers is s

I'm sure somewhere in the now 13,000 + pages of Obamacare there is a rule dictating entitlements to those stupid enough to ingest foods to which they are allergic!

This is obviously an article that is biased in favor of conservatives.
When has the Heritage Foundation ever been concerned with human suffering? They are primarily focused on scoring political points for Republicans and for advancing the agenda of business owners. Heritage and the Chamber of Commerce are bedmates.
This case came to light because Lesley University refused to budge on the meal plan. They wanted to be paid irregardless whether the student ate or not, a reprehensible and indefensible position. They deserve a $50,000 fine.

We have a growing group of people who think/believe they need gluten free products..
It's the new in-thing to have; gluten sensitivity... And the food producers have caught on.. have you noticed the number of gluten free products in the store???
This is mass hysteria!!! The only people who need gluten free products are the people diagnosed with celiac disease...
And--they were most likely born with it...
So it's nothing new to the people who REALLY need it...

My choices are
2. Louisville
ND and BYU
Follow this guy on Twitter @Daddy_Rusty
boise state and houston
ND and Louisville.
Louisville and BYU. I predict ND as an only child for couple more decades.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
I can't see Boise State just because of travel issues. Who wouldn't love to have Notre Dame in their conference? I know I would love it. Don't see it happening anytime soon. I hope I'm wrong on that though.
I can see Houston but I don't think that will happen either. I can see Louisville and Cincy coming to the BIGXII real soon. Plus I love the actually close travel issues with these two teams. Road trips rock!
Louisville and thats it. I wouldn't mind staying at 11 if need be and still keeping the 9 game conference schedule.
BYU is weird and Louisville is a skank hole other than one little area downtown. But, that doesn't mean they aren't the best two options out there right now. ND would be best but probably not going to happen.
oooo I like this game
Notre Dame and Ohio State. Media coverage would be through the roof!
If we're being realistic though... I'd like to see Louisville on board.
1) Louisville
2) Cincy
BYU can sit on a stick.
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.
Louisville and Cincy
1. Minnesota
2. Colorado State
...both for selfish reasons specific to my situation.

Agreed. BYU can come in as a full, unconditional member, or not at all (and it doesnt sound like theyre willing to do this). Same goes for any talk of Notre Dame. We dont need more schools that think theyre better than everyone else.

STOCKBRIDGE, Ga. -- The Supreme Court of Georgia has upheld the conviction and life prison sentence for a woman who beat her 11-year-old stepdaughter to death in 2003.
Charlott Lynett Reaves' sentence was upheld Monday. Reaves had appealed the conviction, saying she was illegally questioned by police after she asked for a lawyer.
According to information presented in court, the victim, Joella Reaves, was found dead in her bed on Dec. 1, 2003. The Henry County Medical Examiner determined Joella died from trauma; her body had numerous injuries, including a black eye, scratches on her back, and bruises on her forehead, wrists and legs.
When questioned by police, Charlott Reaves said she helped her husband, Rodney Reaves, restrain Joella, paddle her and hog-tie her with speaker wire. She denied killing the little girl.
Rodney and Charlott Reaves were each indicted for murder, aggravated battery and cruelty to children, and were given life prison sentences.
Rodney Reaves also appealed his sentence; his conviction was upheld on Mar. 4, 2013.
In Monday's opinion, a Georgia Supreme Court Justice wrote, "Although (Charlott) Reaves does not dispute that the evidence is sufficient to sustain her conviction, we have independently reviewed the evidence, and we conclude that it was sufficient to authorize a rational trier of fact to find beyond a reasonable doubt that Reaves was guilty of the murder of Joella."
"A close examination of Reaves' references to a lawyer shows a 'pattern of equivocation' on her part ... such 'that a reasonable officer would have understood only that (she) might want an attorney present, not that (s)he was clearly invoking (her) right to deal with the officer only through counsel,'" the opinion says.
The opinion also shows that Reaves was read her Miranda rights before questioning.

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) Protesters took control of Ukraine's capital Saturday, seizing the president's office as parliament voted to remove him and hold new elections. President Viktor Yanukovych described the events as a coup and insisted he would not step down.
After a tumultuous week that left scores dead and Ukraine's political destiny in flux, fears mounted that the country could split in two a Europe-leaning west and a Russian-leaning east and south.
Parliament arranged the release of Yanukovych's arch-rival, former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, who was on her way to Kiev to join the protesters. She promised to run for president, and said she will "make it so that no drop of blood that was spilled will be forgotten."
Yanukovych said he would not recognize any of the lawmakers' decisions as valid. He left Kiev for his support base in the country's Russian-speaking east, where lawmakers questioned the legitimacy of the newly empowered legislature and called for volunteer militias to uphold order.
"They are trying to scare me. I have no intention to leave the country. I am not going to resign; I'm the legitimately elected president," Yanukovych said in a televised statement, clearly shaken and with long pauses in his speaking.
"Everything that is happening today is, to a greater degree, vandalism and banditry and a coup d'etat," he said. "I will do everything to protect my country from breakup, to stop bloodshed."
Ukraine, a nation of 46 million, has huge strategic importance to Russia, Europe and the United States.
The country's western regions, angered by corruption in Yanukovych's government, want to be closer to the European Union and have rejected Yanukovych's authority in many cities. Eastern Ukraine, which accounts for the bulk of the nation's economic output, favors closer ties with Russia and has largely supported the president. The three-month protest movement was prompted by the president's decision to abort an agreement with the EU in favor of a deal with Moscow.
"The people have won, because we fought for our future," said opposition leader Vitali Klitschko to a euphoric crowd of thousands gathered on Kiev's Independence Square. Beneath a cold, heavy rain, protesters who have stood for weeks and months to pressure the president to leave congratulated each other and shouted "Glory to Ukraine!"
"It is only the beginning of the battle," Klitschko said, urging calm and telling protesters not to take justice into their own hands.
Tymoshenko, the blond-braided icon of Ukraine's 2004 Orange Revolution, was heading from prison in the eastern city of Kharkiv straight to the protest camp, her party said.
Tymoshenko served 2½ years on a conviction of abuse of office that domestic and Western critics have denounced as a political vendetta. Tymoshenko's reappearance on the political scene could shake things up even more.
The president's support base crumbled further as a leading governor and a mayor from the eastern city of Kharkiv fled Russia.
Oleh Slobodyan, a spokesman for the border guard service, told The Associated Press that Kharkiv regional governor Mikhaylo Dobkin and Kharkiv Mayor Hennady Kernes left Ukraine across the nearby Russian border.
Saturday's developments were the result of a European-brokered peace deal between the president and opposition.
But Yanukovych said Saturday that he would not sign any of the measures passed by parliament over the past two days as a result of that deal. They include motions:
The decisions were passed with large majorities, including yes votes from some members of Yanukovych's Party of Regions, which dominated Ukraine's political scene until this week but is now swiftly losing support.
Russia came out Saturday firmly against the peace deal, saying the opposition isn't holding up its end of the agreement, which calls for protesters to surrender arms and abandon their tent camps.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Saturday called his German, French and Polish counterparts and urged them to use their influence with the Ukrainian opposition to stop what he described as rampages by its supporters. European officials urged calm.
Ukraine's defense and military officials also called for Ukrainians to stay peaceful. In statements Saturday, both the Defense Ministry and the chief of the armed forces said they will not be drawn into any conflict and will side with the people. But they did not specify whether they still support the president or are with the opposition.
The president was in the eastern city of Kharkiv, where governors, provincial officials and legislators gathered alongside top Russian lawmakers and issued a statement saying that the events in Kiev have led to the "paralysis of the central government and destabilization of the situation in the country."
Some called for the formation of volunteer militias to defend against protesters from western regions, even as they urged army units to maintain neutrality and protect ammunition depots.
Protesters claimed full control of Kiev and took up positions around the president's office and a grandiose residential compound believed to be his, though he never acknowledged it.
At the president's office in central Kiev, a group of protesters in helmets and shields stood guard. No police were in sight.
Protesters also gathered around the country, often taking out their anger on statues of Soviet founder Vladimir Lenin, using ropes and crowbars to knock them off pedestals in several cities and towns. Statues of Lenin still stand in cities and towns across the former USSR, and they are seen as a symbol of Moscow's rule.
The past week saw the worst violence in Ukraine since the breakup of the Soviet Union a quarter-century ago. At the protests' epicenter on Kiev's Independence Square, demonstrators clashed with police and snipers opened fire. The Health Ministry put the death toll at 77, and some opposition figures said it was even higher.
At the square Saturday, protesters heaped flowers on the coffins of the dead.
"These are heroes of Ukraine who gave their lives so that we could live in a different country without Yanukovych," said protester Viktor Fedoruk, 32. "Their names will be written in golden letters in the history of Ukraine."

text: Had a conversation with a person all over when it came to political views. His views on the Israeli conflict was borderline anti-semitic blaming literally the whole thing on Israel, stating they should have stayed in Europe and that they were a terrorist run state, nothing new in regards to talking points. I did hear something new from him that I haven't before and it was a stat. (of which I said where did he get it and he just said he "heard" it which made me even further speculative) that if there was a one state solution then in 10 years Israel would mostly be muslim and that's why the Jews don't want a one state solution. I have since looked for that data and have seen the blurb stat. mentioned in blogs and news articles but no hard data or research references. Can anyone find the claim actually purported by a 1st party source rather than a second?

That would be a good tag for someone who just wanted to get the chance to hunt sheep. Last year there were only 57 nonresident applicants for 5 tags so nearly 9% draw odds. The tag is pretty reasonable too at only $254.
I had considered applying someone in my family for that tag. I helped my son on his ram tag there in 2007 and did a solo backpack hunt for my ram in 2009. We saw 7 rams and 3 ewes in the first trip, and 44 rams and no ewes in the second trip. If you draw let me know and I'll try to give you some pointers where we saw the ewes. It was from the road.

Supervisors Counter Secondary Road Employees Salary Requests
(Le Mars) -- Plymouth County Board of Supervisors have proposed a two percent increase in salary and benefit pay over the next three years to the Secondary Road Employee Association. The Secondary Road Employee Association had submitted a request asking for a six percent increase. Supervisor Don Kass read the County's counter proposal during the weekly supervisor meeting. In addition to the two percent increase in pay, the Supervisors also stipulated no reimbursement for accumulated sick leave as stated in the road crew bargaining proposal. The Supervisors also indicated they were not in favor of a four-hour minimum in pay with snow and ice removal. Instead, the supervisors countered with a two-hour minimum call-in to be allowed. The County Board of Supervisors and the Secondary Road Employee Association will begin negotiations for a three-year contract. The Supervisors are also in negotiations with the Sheriff's employee association for a new three-year contract.

Political Action Committees Release New Television Ads
WASHINGTON (AP) - A conservative political action committee is launching a $10 million campaign to sway voters who backed President Barack Obama four years ago to now support his Republican
challenger, Mitt Romney.
The Ending Spending Action Fund, bankrolled by billionaire Joe Ricketts, is airing 30-second ads on national cable and television in Virginia, Ohio, Iowa and Wisconsin. The ads with former Obama
supporters are coupled with radio and online advertising, direct mail and door-to-door voter contact programs led by former Bush White House political director Sara Fagen.
Ending Spending Action Fund president Brian Baker said Wednesday the television ads would begin on Thursday. Those ads were produced by Stephen K. Bannon, the filmmaker behind Citizen United's recent documentary featuring disaffected Obama supporters.
Ricketts is the founder of Omaha, Nebraska-based TD Ameritrade Securities.
New Ads To Help Romney
NEW YORK (AP) - New Republican-leaning groups are entering the presidential advertising fray as polling suggests Mitt Romney's campaign may be losing ground against President Barack Obama in key
swing states.
The commercials, aimed at voters who supported Obama in 2008 but are undecided now, join those from the campaigns and outside groups swamping a narrow and possibly shrinking map of competitive states in the fast-moving presidential contest.
The ads also focus on female voters, a bloc where Romney badly lags Obama.
The group Americans for Job Security launched an ad in six swing states, including Iowa, as part of an $8.7 million ad buy disclosed last week.
Capitol Conference Room Named To Honor Governor Ray
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Governor Terry Branstad has named a large conference room in the state Capitol in honor of former Governor Robert D. Ray.
Branstad announced the honor Wednesday, on Ray's 84th birthday.
Ray and his family joined Branstad for a brief ceremony.
Ray's official portrait will hang in the conference room, where Branstad holds weekly news conferences.
Ray, a Republican, was elected governor in 1968 and served for 14 years.
He also served as interim mayor of Des Moines and interim president of Drake University.
Care Center Murder
WEST UNION, Iowa (AP) - Prosecutors have filed a first-degree murder charge against a former resident at an Iowa residential care facility, after a man he is accused of attacking died.
35-year-old Matthew Braun is accused of assaulting 57-year-old Kris Simpson at the Prairie View Residential Care Facility.
Braun was first charged with attempted murder, but the Fayette County attorney's office upgraded the charge after learning that Simpson had died.
Authorities responded to a disturbance at the care facility shortly before 1 a.m. on September 17th, and learned that Simpson had been assaulted.
Investigators say security camera footage shows Braun attacking Simpson for no apparent reason, which caused Simpson to fall and hit his head on the corner of a furnace, knocking him unconscious.
Prosecutor Dismisses Abduction Charges
AMES, Iowa (AP) - The Story County attorney's office has dismissed charges against two teenagers accused of a sexual assault in July.
The Ames Tribune reports the county attorney filed documents Monday dismissing the case against the 16-year-old boys from Ames and Boone.
Charges were filed after a 17-year-old Hamilton County girl claimed she was abducted from her backyard and raped in an Ames park.
Lawyer Peter Berger, who represents one of the boys, says the charges were dropped after a videotape showed they were at a different location when the alleged assault occurred.
Charges remain against 20-year-old Mason Reilly of Ames, but his case is on hold pending a determination of whether he's competent to stand trial. Attorney Sean Spellman claims Reilly can't assist in his defense due to fetal alcohol syndrome.

To the editor:
The players who support the Paradise Point golf course are about to see another price increase in our green fees. The reasons for the increase this time: Not enough play and we have two courses.
So what do the policy-makers in Marine Corps Community Services do? Raise the green fees. That will sure be an incentive to entice more people to reach in their pocket and shell out more money to play the same course.
As for the other excuse about two courses: If there is anyone in MCCS with any golf-course knowledge � excluding the director of golf and the golf pro � they might want to see how Andrews Air Force Base is able to maintain three golf courses with annual fees for general officers, $1,375; and staff non-commissioned officers, $1,000. Camp Lejeune charges $1,850 in annual fees.
Another military course at Cherry Point charges $790 annual fee and offers a green fees and carts program for less than Camp Lejeune�s fees. Camp Lejeune has the highest rates for military and some civilian courses on the East Coast.
Lejeune lost members with the last price increase, and we will surely lose more with this increase.

Are any grandparents, parents or siblings former FCCLA members? FCCLA at Perkins County High School is asking FCCLA/FHA alumni that have graduated from the Perkins County chapter to help Perkins County in a statewide alumni contest. This is a contest to see which chapter can get the most past members to respond. The following information is needed: • full name • current address • email address • chapter of membership • years of membership • focus (STAR or SEARCH; Power of One; DEGREE Program; PEER Education; officer; state officer) • current job/career • if retired, former career Please send or email information to
If our chapter gets at least 15 people to respond, we will receive ribbons at the state leadership conference in Lincoln. If we get 30 people to respond, we will receive ribbons and a framed certificate for our chapter. If our chapter gets 50 people to respond, we will get ribbons, a certificate and will be recognized on stage at the awards ceremony. Hopefully, we will get 50 people, and after the state leadership conference, FCCLA will submit more information to the newspaper. Any and all alumni can participate. The deadline for sending information to Mariah Cote is Feb. 1, to count for Perkins County.-Alexis Schmidt
