Guys Solved the low power and dust collection problems. This might take a minute but worth the time to read. I read reviews and saw comments about not being very powerful but noticed the specs said it has a 3/4 HP motor. good grief, that is larger than the motor on my 5 ton A/C unit. Must be a problem elsewhere. Bought the unit and sure enough wouldn't sand Squat! I could not put over 2 or 3 lbs. of pressure on the belt and it would stop completely.So I stalled the belt and the motor was still running. Determined that the belt was slipping on the pulley. You have to loosed the 4 mounting bolts on the motor and slide the motor back to increase the tension on the belt and retighten the bolts. You may have to pry it back with something and hold it till you retighten them, but this will solve the problem. Now I can press the work surface until the whole sander slides across the table and it will not stall the belt! I have actually clamped it to the workbench so it will not slide and I can put more pressure on it and I have not stalled the belt again. that problem solved!! Now the dust collector feature is a great thing but this one does not work very well. Hooked it to my system and it didn't do much. Look inside the opening where you attach the vacuum hose and see that there is a plastic cover inside with 5 small holed in it to let the dust through. Not enough, just get a drill bit and add about 6 0r 8 more holes in the plastic and It will work much better. After making these adjustments I am very pleased with this tool. Good Luck and May God Bless your efforts!

As others have stated, this product is unlikely to work out of the box, but every now and then, somebody might get lucky.While this sander has adequate power for it's size, the products description claims of 3/4 hp are dubious at best.Mine required a bit of work to function, more work to function smoothly, and constant codeling to keep it running.Out of the box, the pulley on the drive roller was loose and jammed against the rollers mounting screws, so I had to remove the drive belt cover before I could evn start it.After alligning the drive roller pulley with the motors pulley, the drive belt was way too loose not to correct.With the cover off and belt properly tensioned, I rolled the sanding belt forward and back and noticed unusual binding on the drive roller side, so I removed the bottom cover, the rear cover, and finally the sanding belt.The idler roller spun freely, but was severely out of round. The drive roller and motor spun freely together with the sanding belt removed. The binding was both rollers hitting their high spots at the same time.I then ran the motor, driving the drive roller, shaving the drive roller with a file until it was reasonably round and even. I then secured the idler roller in my drill press, wedging a shop rag, locked in place with a hose clamp from the other end to prevent the roller from turning on the shaft. I smoothed out the idler roller by dragging a file as it spun in the drill press.I proceeded to reassemble the sander, and install the remaining parts.The sander started up smoothly allowing me to track the sanding belt and polish some steel parts. It worked great.The following day, I had some other parts to throw on the sander, but when I went to fire it up, the motor labored for a few seconds before the sanding belt began to spin.I removed the sanding disk, housing, and drive belt cover, to discover the drive belt was tighter than I'd set it. The pulleys were still tight and still in line. Apparently, the belt tightens when cold, either ambient, or from lack of use. It loosens when warm, either ambient or from friction.I try to keep the belt tension at a happy medium, so that it will start cold and not stall when it warms up, but it still varries with belt wear and other factors.I think maybe the roller grooves don't quite match the v-belt on my sander. I also have to change the drive belt tension when I swap the sanding belt.I've found that while I'm using this thing heavily, it makes no sense to put any of the covers on because adjustments are so frequent.I like the design of this sander and I like the price I paid for it. I'm just not so happy with the materials used to make it and I'm not a big fan of tools that need such frequent maintenance.Initial setup is time-consuming, frequent adjustments and tweaks are cumbersome, but the sander does work extremely well for what it is.The 6 inch sander HF sells is much nicer, but is way too much sander for my garage.I'll learn to like this sander in time, I'm sure of it!

I Have Wanted This Tool For A Long Time! With A Small Adjustment From A PlasticMolded Part; The Tool Is Great. The Instructions Should Be A Bit More Clear. The Plastic Part Adjustment Was Needed So The Parts Would Fit Together. Also: The Fence On The Upper Sanding Belt - Attaches Better With The Screws From Top↓Down. The Front Cover Needs To Have About 1/2 Of The Plastic Ridge ( Where-It-Joins-Disc-Cover) The Small Ridge Needs To Be Cut Off Aproximatly 1/2 With A Razor Knife So The Parts Fit Together. Apparently The Mold For The Part, Required The Shipped Part, Was Not Totally Ready To Install. A Small Adjustment To A Great Machine. Charles E. Murphy Joliet, IL.

Question by Jenny: Does anyone have any really good weight loss tips?
Does anyone have any exercise diet tips for losing weight?
balanced diet tips Best answer:
Answer by ny
When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.
If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which
will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow
underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without
exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For
diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food
after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on
your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If
you don't eat wheat then you don't eat all those sticky, fatty goey
cakes, you don't eat junk food, and you don't eat biscuits. But your
diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to
calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,
start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the
most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a
lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,
disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target
your problem areas for men and women. It's not necessarily to become a
bodybuilder or even join a gym – a couple of dumbbells will help you
to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).

The Diva Cup is one of the BEST inventions of all time. I have told everyone I know about it. I LOVE mine and will never go back to tampons- ever! In fact tampons are way way messier than this cup. I think it is so sad that most women don't even know they are out there. I feel like I was ripped off all those years of tampons...the money and the trash
Don't take my word for it 373 reviews on amazon nearly all 5 star!!
I had a desire to start my organization, nevertheless I did not have enough of money to do it. Thank goodness my dude recommended to utilize the loans. Hence I used the college loan and realized my desire.
Ew. And Ew. And I should so be over it, but EEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWW!
You really do need to go into some sort of broadcasting/newsy/CNN-y/video-podcast-y/The Onion-y thing. You're HYSTERICAL and so natural on camera...
I actually really like my Diva cup. There is a definite learning curve to using it but I really do like mine.
This video though? Really funny!
ick. anything that has the potential to make my bathroom look like a crime scene is a definite NO.
Thank you! Hilarious!
I love you for that.
So true. As soon as I heard of this "device" I thought, "No fucking way." You've reaffirmed my decision. Hilariously.
Gah. Well, thanks for letting me know about another option. It's always nice to be able to RULE THINGS COMPLETELY OUT.
I'll be a non Diva and stick to the depo shot. For me it eliminates the need for any of those products.
Your commercial, hilarious!
So after watching your video and asking myself what on earth you were talking about, I Googled "diva cup." Omigod, the thing really exists. AND they're doing a video contest that invites submissions of videos in which users proclaim their love for the thing. After your video, I can't look at that website and take them seriously. The site even points out that using the diva cup is environmentally friendly, just like bringing a canvas bag to your grocery store. I can't decide if that comparison is hilarious or disgusting...
I'm going for the reconstructive surgery. Even the Diva cup doesn't work for me anymore with all my bits falling out. ughh
I think I peed myself a little. You are HILARIOUS!
When it comes time for my husband and I to decide whether or not to have a third child, that video will definitely be part of our conversation.
Diva cup rocks and you are f-ing funny lady.
I'm so glad to be a guy.
[blank stare]
Girl, you crack me up.
I think I'll hold onto my non-Diva status though.
Hold on a minute. I just got over my squeamishness and moved to OB tampons. It'll be a while before I can become a Diva.
(and I covet your bangs btw)
I think perhaps I'm not a diva.
Is it just me, or were there CUE CARDS there?
That is some SERIOUSLY PROFESSIONAL production, sister.
I was waiting for the part where you do shots...
Ha- I've used "The Keeper" for several years now and, so, well, I totally know what you mean.
I'll just stay with what I do now, Thanks!
That was too funny...I think I'm just going to stick with tampons. I'm not sure how you can pull out a cup of blood without it getting everywhere...
Um, that wasn't quite what I meant when I told you to "be all the diva you can be!" LOL
OMG that was the best video ever!
Um. Ew.
I'll just buy those extra super tampons.
I very nearly just sprayed my keyboard with OJ. Thanks for the laugh first thing in the morning!

CAPE GIRARDEAU - The Missouri Research Corporation and PARE (Providers Assuring Rehabilitation Efficacy) are hosting a forum on June 7 to discuss healthcare costs burdening employers and employees.
Glenn Auditorium in Dempster Hall on the campus of Southeast Missouri State University is the location of the event set from 3 to 5 p.m. Business leaders, human resource directors, health care employers and providers, health insurance representatives, governmental and agency employees and anyone interested in the need to control rising health care costs and their impact on business should plan to attend.
Senator Jason Crowell (MO-27) and Steve McPheeters (Noranda Aluminum) are serving as facilitators for the meeting.
Rita Needham of the Southwest Area Manufacturers Association and Dr. John Kraemer of the Southeast Center for Environmental Analysis will speak.
Needham will discuss a model health care consortium formed in southwest Missouri to control costs, which resulted in a change to Missouri law that provides new opportunities for small employers. Kraemer will discuss how an asthma education program he designed has saved the local region over a half million dollars in health care costs.
There will be question-and-answer time for the speakers and facilitators as well as general discussion time on topics including:
* Controlling rising health care costs;
* Climbing insurance rates;
* The cost burden on large and small businesses;
* The impact on global competition; and
* Needed legislation
Crowell invites anyone interested in this topic to make his voice heard. "The issue of healthcare reform is so important to Missourians that I would like to see a diverse group of providers, businesspersons, and individuals attend so that we can aggressively explore creative ways the Missouri legislature can help," he said.
The event is free of charge and the public is invited.

PARKERSBURG - Revised editions of a Mark Twain classic are unlikely to appear in area schools anytime soon.
Officials with Wood County Schools say there has been little to no discussion concerning a revised combined edition of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" published by NewSouth that removes a derogatory term for blacks, substituting the word "slave," in 219 references.
The book also removes a derogatory word used for American Indians.
Article Photos
Wood County Schools officials say schools are unlikely to adopt a newly revised version of Mark Twain classics "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." The revised version removes racial slurs in favor of more politically correct language.
Proponents for the revisions argue the use of racial slurs in Twain's works often leads to those books being banned in schools and libraries. Proponents also argue the damage caused by such slurs outweighs their historical use.
Critics of the revisions argue Twain's use of the racial slur was deliberately used to illustrate the attitudes of the day. Twain was well-noted as having a hatred of racism and slavery, and often used his works to point out inequalities and to lampoon slave owners and racists.
Debby Lamp, coordinator of media and technology for Wood County Schools, said there has been no discussion among the county's school librarians concerning the book, even though most of the libraries carry some edition of the Mark Twain stories.
"We haven't had any discussion of it," she said, adding the previous editions "haven't been an issue."
"I think it was written for that time, and I don't think it should be changed," she said. "We have read the story this way for years and years and years. That was how people thought during that time and that was how Mark Twain wrote it."
Likewise Judy Johnson, director of curriculum for Wood County Schools, said there has been little discussion among English teachers concerning the revised edition or its use in schools.
Johnson said some teachers are still using the novels in classrooms and copies can be found in most middle and high school libraries.
Elizabeth Morgan, an English teacher and head of the English department at Williamstown High School, said both "Tom Sawyer" and "Huckleberry Finn" are used as supplemental reading materials for the school's 11th-grade English classes. In both cases the students read the original works.
"The time period in which Twain wrote, the words and terminology were what everyone used," she said. "It is up to the teacher to present the cultural time period and prepare the class for the derogatory names and the language that was more common in that day."
Morgan said using Twain's original words both allows teachers to teach students some more difficult lessons and to keep intact Twain's original meaning.
"I do think there are teachable moments where you can take these difficult times in our past and discuss them and maybe even apply them to difficult situations today," she said. Twain "was pretty liberal in his time, and I think he was doing this in part to shock people in his time and make them realize this wasn't how things should be."
Lamp said Twain's subtle sense of humor combined with a portrait of the time period in which the book was written provide valuable lessons for students and should not be set aside.
"I don't think you should give up on a whole book because of one little thing in there," she said. "That doesn't make the whole thing bad.
"I don't want to offend anyone either," she said, "but I still think it is practically criminal to take a work and redo it."

Doc Savage Adventure 1949-03 Up From the Earth's Center (Doc Savage Collection)
A Doc Savage Adventure by Kenneth Robeson
(Originally published in "Doc Savage Magazine" for Summer 1949. Bantam Books reprint in Omnibus #13, October 1990)
Up from Earth's Center
A shipwrecked lunatic, a mysterious cavern, and a plump little man with a fear of fire lead Doc on his strangest and most legendary adventure ever - straight to the gates of hell itself!
"Up from earth's center by the seventh gate,
I rose and on the throne of Saturn sat-
And many a knot unraveled by the road,
But not the master knot of human fate-"
THE hours became days, and the days grew into weeks, and the weeks followed one another into a dull and terrible haze of time in which nothing really changed. Gilmore had scooped a shallow pit in the eroding chalk at the edge of a cliff, roofed it with a crude thatched trapdoor which he could close against the black things of night, and he spent the majority of his time there.
For a time, during Indian summer, one day was like another. It was then that Gilmore lost his shirt. He took off the shirt and arranged it carefully and, he thought, safely on the sandy beach, while he waded into the sea to stand motionless in hopes of clubbing an unwary fish for food. A huge and dour gray seagull, a typically thievish knave of a seagull, carried the shirt away. It was a sports shirt, and its gaudy plastic buttons fascinated the gull.
It was a small thing. The thin shirt was practically worthless as a protective garment. But Gilmore took it hard.
He ran wildly after the seagull, and the bird flapped out to sea, packing the shirt in its beak with gull-like greed. Gilmore, unable to swim, ran, screaming, up and down the beach, and when he was exhausted, he fell on his face and sobbed.
During the ensuing few days of Indian summer, Gilmore tried to teach himself to swim. He was unsuccessful, probably because he had no real heart left to put into it. It was pointless, anyway. A man could not swim the Atlantic.
The warm days ended. Winter came. The pools of rainwater in the potholes in the island stone began to have thin crusts of ice, and the rocks became bone-colored with coatings of frost.
Gilmore made hardly a move to thwart the certainty of freezing to death. It was too much of a certainty for him to compete against. It was inevitable. His pants now were frayed into shorts, and he stuffed them with dry seaweed, and tied seaweed about himself with other seaweed for binding until he resembled an ambulatory pile of the smelly stuff. Actually, it did no good, and it soon became definitely established in his mind that he would freeze to death. He began to wait for death almost as one would await a friend.
But rescue got there before death, although at first it was dull and undramatic.
Gilmore was sitting on a stone, contemplating eternity, when a pleasant voice hailed him. "Hello, there," the voice said. 'Are you the proprietor of this heavenly spot?"
A glaze settled over Gilmore's sore eyes, and for a long time he did not turn around. In fact, he did not turn until he had conducted quite an odd conversation, in a small choking voice.
"So you finally got to me," Gilmore said. His voice had the hopelessness of a soul lost in interstellar space.
"Yeah. It took a little time to climb the cliff." The voice contained some pleasant surprise. "I didn't think you had seen us. You didn't give any sign. We were rather puzzled."

Seen hovering for several minutes, appeared as one object, then split into 3 and flew away. Have seen several subsequent times since first sighting, approx. 3 additional times. Lights on craft appears brighter when photographed, and feels as if you're being watched when seen.I was about a mile or so west of the object, getting dropped off at my house. I was looking into the horizon for no reason. I thought it was a cell tower, but realized it wasn't when it started to move. I saw it hover for several minutes, and then split into 3 different objects and fly away. It flew under the horizon eventually.

Let's not forget our local heros this Black History Month
Queen Brown | 2/13/2014, 9 a.m.
Black History is officially recognized during the month of February. Schools, businesses and communities throughout the United States will celebrate the lives of well-known African American leaders such as the late Dr. Reverend Martin Luther King, Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglas, Mary McCloud Bethune, Malcolm X. and a host of others who carved out a path for all people of African descent. African American leaders of the 21st century such as President Barack Obama, Condoleezza Rice, Dr. Ben Carson, Congresswoman Fredrica Wilson, School Board Member District 2 Dorothy Bendross-Mindingall and other African American Achievers will also be celebrated during the month of February. In fact all African Americans need to use this month to reflect and celebrate their lives and accomplishments.
South Florida is home to some of the country's most distinguished African American leaders. South Florida's very own former Congresswoman Carrie P. Meek is the first African American female elected to the Florida Senate and the first Black Lawmaker elected to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington. Another great hometown notable is the late, Jessie Collins Trice who was a champion in the field of health care and known for her dedication to eliminate disparities in health care services to African Americans and Hispanic populations. She is the first African American to graduate from the University of Miami School of Nursing and the recipient of many other awards and honors.
Another trailblazer in the field of healthcare and hometown notable is Dr. W. B. Sawyer, the founder of Christian Hospital, the County's first Black Hospital. Sawyer's daughter, the late Gwen Cherry, was the County's first Black female attorney and first African American woman elected to the Florida Legislature in 1970. Another African American trailblazer from our hometown is the late Henry S. Reeves, the founder of South Florida oldest and largest Black newspaper, The Miami Times. Garth Reeves Senior and the Reeves family continue the legacy by providing South Florida community with news from a Black perspective and relevant to our community.
The list of local African Americans hometown leaders go on and on. It is important that we take the time and get to know the history behind the names and faces on landmarks, streets and buildings in our community. Even more important is for our children who were not around during initial years of the African American struggle learn to appreciate the lives and stories of African American Leaders such as Althalie Range, Theodore Gibson, Jefferson Reaves, Joe Caleb and Wilke Ferguson. As our children walk the hallways in their schools, and travel on the local streets and boulevards they must know the story behind the men and women whose names are represented. Take them on a tour and show them where the first Black Hospital in the County was located or the house where Gwen Cherry lived in Brownsville. Our children can become motivated and inspired by African American leaders who have made a difference in their hometown and the South Florida Black community and know they too can become a great leader by learning about even past great local leaders.

Antrepo shows that Less can be More in Design
A simple definition of design agency Antrepo might be changing perceptions with a dose of minimalism; however they describe themselves as being a design warehouse providing new formulas for a better tomorrow.
One of Anthrepo's latest projects was all about simplicity and trying to find alternate minimalist versions of internationally recognized products.
Which of the three options do you prefer?
1. Original variation
2. Simple variation
3. Even simpler variation
You can have your say on which designs you prefer on the Antrepo Blog
And looking how Antrepo promotes their team (above) on their website, we cannot but be reminded of the MB&F Friends

I Have a Man Cave
It has taken me a while to digest the whole Man-Cave experience. Now that the project is complete and I've had a chance to decompress, I can now tell the whole story.
Being a part of a television show that films a week of your life while building the ultimate guy hangout is pretty cool. The non-linear nature of shooting gets a little wacky, especially when you are filming the opening of the show on the last day of shooting. My Doc Brown, Marty McFly senses where tingling in my own personal "Back to the Future" saga sans the flux capacitor.
I can't show pictures of the cave until the show airs. Which is a shame, because it is amazing. I'll do my best radio description for you and try to paint a picture in words. The cave is a mix of leather, stone and wood. The floors have deep rich hues of browns and slight reds and, even though they are new, they have an old world feel thanks to their handscraped texture.
The stone on both the entry arch and wall are killer. They gray color of the stone wall is contrasted by small flecks of copper and red. The highlights of the room are the three hidden televisions. Each TV is placed behind special mirrored glass which hides the TV when the power is off. The one behind the custom bar is the coolest thing I have ever seen. And of course the bar has a kegerator.
Lastly, the wine room is the crown jewel of the cave. It is glass enclosed and houses custom riddling style racks that I made with host Jason Cameron. They are one of a kind, and the labor was crazy. We drilled over 234 holes to make three racks. You'll never see them again in Man Caves, or so Jason says.
So what did I think of Tony Siragusa and Jason Cameron? I liked them both. Tony is just what you would expect, a larger than life (and most people) figure. He was great with my family and friends. I didn't spend a lot of time with Siragusa, so I can't give you the full picture.
Host Jason Cameron, on the other hand, is aces. I spent most of the three days on the shoot with Jason working in the garage. If Tony is the marquee player of the show, Jason is its soul. He actually does work in building the Man Cave — a lot of it. The best part of working with him is that he taught me so much in a short span. I now feel confident doing household repairs. My wife and I thank you, buddy.
So my project is nearing its end as I close out last-minute additions. As my cave is ending another one is beginning. Just down the road from me, a lovely young couple is getting a Man Cave built out of an old bomb shelter in their basement. The theme is called "Spy Cave." Last night, I dropped by to say hello and see what the crew was up to.
UPDATE: Here's a souvenir shirt I've created. This is a screen shot. They should be coming in within the next week.

South needs wake up call in the fight to reduce HIV/AIDS
mcneir | 12/7/2011, 8:23 a.m.
Communities from the U.S. and across the globe marked the 30th anniversary of this eras most feared and least understood threat to our health and lives HIV/AIDS with World AIDS Day. The good news, according to medical experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, based just outside of Atlanta, is that HIV/AIDS is no longer a death sentence. But many of us probably knew that already. Conversely, this chronic illness that has plagued the world for three decades continues to impact more and more people especially Black women and young Black males under the age of 25. One has to wonder why we have received more education in terms of preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS, yet see numbers within certain demographics keeping going up. Dr. Andrew Skerritt, a professor at Florida A & M (FAMU) and author of a book entitled, Ashamed to Die: Shame, Denial and the AIDS Epidemic in the South, says even more troubling is the fact that more communities in the South are being impacted by the virus, than in any other parts of the U.S. As he points out, rural communities tend to have less access to health education or health care. They are therefore prime locations for STDs, including HIV/AIDS, to spread. What can we do? Skerritt says the Black church must become more active, more vocal and less self-righteous and judgmental. He is absolutely right. After all, is it our task to judge one another or to go to the aid of our brothers and sisters? Well leave you to answer the question. The time has long past where the Black community can afford to point fingers at others or remain silent while our mothers, brothers, fathers, sisters and children are dying or suffering needlessly sometimes even suffering alone. At some point we must address this epidemic head on. If not, between the number of Black boys going to prison and the number of young Black men contracting the HIV/AIDS virus, we may witness the swift demise of the Black race.

When it comes to the equine industry, Denton County could be called the Lexington, Ky., of Texas. Our county is home to more than 26,000 horses and related industries, including breeders, trainers, boarding facilities, veterinary services and forage production.
To enhance public awareness of this tremendous industry and its impact on the local economy, the Denton County Extension Office's Horse Committee is sponsoring a "Horse Industry Tour" on Oct. 23. The tour will showcase four premier equine operations in Denton County representing the industry's diversity. Some of the stops will offer demonstrations and the opportunity to visit and ask questions with the owners, managers and trainers. This is a much different tour concept as compared to our counterparts in Lexington, which do not allow on- and off-the-bus experiences, if the farm allows tours at all.
Planned stops for this year's tour include the Walking Tall Ranch in Pilot Point, which dedicates itself to the development and training of Tennessee walking horses. This gaited horse training facility works with young colts as well as advanced training for the older horses. They have trained and delivered horses from North Carolina to Virginia to Ohio. The training staff works with the horses as well as the riders to offer the customer a smooth, professionally trained horse and a pleasurable ride.
Green Valley Ranch is a premier reining horse facility dedicated to breeding, raising and showing high-quality reining horses. Wallis and Jane Winegar purchased the ranch in 2004, along with a half-interest in the top reining stallion Lil Ruf Peppy. Drawn to the unique ranch because of its proximity to Dallas - not to mention the beauty of the land and its impressive amenities - the Winegars have expanded the facility to what it is today.
Valor Farm, covering 393 acres and owned by Clarence Scharbauer, is the only farm west of the Mississippi River to have two Kentucky Derby trophies on its mantle. One of the winning horses, Tomy Lee, nabbed a trophy in 1959. The second was in 1987, when the great Alysheba won the derby and became the all-time leading money earner. The farm's thoroughbred stallions rank among the top in Texas and has nationally recognized sires each year.
Reata Ranch was purchased in late 1996 by Texas Motor Speedway. The ranch consists of 130 acres, 5 miles south of Pilot Point. Reata is primarily a breeding farm, with several stallions headed up by World Champion sire Coolest. The ranch is one of the most modern and up-to-date breeding facilities in this part of the country.
This is just a small taste of the $58.5 million equine industry, with more than 300 farms and ranches in Denton County. Registration is $20 per person, which includes bus transportation, refreshments and lunch. Space is limited to the first 52 paid participants, with pre-registration due by Oct. 18.
Mail registration with payment to 306 N. Loop 288, Suite 222, Denton, TX 76209. Make checks payable to the Denton County Horse Committee.

War Is Kind
by Stephen Crane
Symbol Analysis
"Do not weep." You'll hear that again and again in this poem because it's part of the refrain. But it's more than that, of course. Weeping is what people do when they lose somebody they love, so it's a little bizarre to tell somebody not to weep after they find out somebody has died. But it becomes clear soon after the poem's opening lines that the speaker is being ironic, or rather that he is exposing some bogus military cliché about the kindness of war. So weep away, maidens, mothers, and babes.
- Line 1: The speaker tells a maiden not to weep because war is kind. This is an example of irony, as war is definitely not kind, thank you very much.
- Line 4: The phrase "do not weep" is repeated again, making it a refrain.
- Line 12: The refrain is repeated again, but this time, the speaker addresses a babe (i.e. a baby, not a hot chick).
- Line 15: Yet again, the speaker tells his addressee "do not weep." We get it already, ya jerk.
- Line 25: The speaker tells the mother not to weep because war is kind. This is the last time we hear the refrain, and we can't say we're sad about it. We've had enough weeping to last us a lifetime.

I spent much of my early childhood an hour from civilization in the mountains of northern California. In my early years, we lived in a 100-year-old cabin, which measured about 8' by 12'. My mom slept on a cot, and we had a wood stove to keep warm. We were very poor for American standards, but through the years I experienced incredible providence as we moved all over the U.S. and eventually into a comfortable home in Bay City, Texas.
I love spending off-time seeking outdoor adventure. Some of my favorite excursions include climbing a volcano in Guatemala to witness volatile lava, canopying in a jungle, rappelling, spelunking, tubing through caves, snorkeling, sky diving, sand dune surfing... and there's nothing like the simplicity of hiking. To date, I've logged over 500 sailing hours on the ocean. During summer breaks, I've made a habit of taking students and alumni to the Bahamas where I captain a sailboat that we live on by ourselves for one week. We spear fish, eat raw conch, snorkel, and explore uninhabited islands with secluded white sand beaches.
I am passionate about college ministry and music. I've been leading worship for over 10 years. I have a bachelor's degree in biblical studies from LeTourneau University, three years experience working in Student Activities, and I have been a Resident Director since 2009. Two of those years were also paired with chapel ministry. As God intimately pursues students, I am passionate about walking through life with them and having an opportunity to be a part of the very big plans He has for them during their college years.

Bigger is better? (Photo: ikelee)
According to University of Utah researchers, using a larger monitor could save you 2.5 hours per day.
Specifically, test subjects completed everyday tasks like editing documents and massaging spreadsheets 52% faster when using a 24-inch monitor than they did with an 18-incher.
Not sure who uses 18-inch screens (17″ and 19″ are more typical), but I'd be curious to see how productivity with a 24-inch screen without Expose compares to a 17″ Mac with Expose activated.
If they are referring to docs and spreadsheets, it would seem to be a mostly scrolling-based discrepancy, n'est-ce pas? I suspect that if we use double-finger dragging on a scratch pad to scroll vs. a mouse, this gap would narrow.
Any theories to explain the difference, and how to make a smaller screen behave like a larger screen? Top picks for afforable 20-24″ monitors? I'm planning on a 22″ Acer LCD in black and hope to quantify the difference over a 4-week period.

And I gotta say more than once they have spotted the thing I was looking for or suggested doing the thing I needed to do to move on. The game takes so much of everything in the past that I loved and just made it better. I was skeptical of the sword controller but I'm a super fan now, it is smooth and wicked when attacking baddies.

Here we get to the nitty-gritty: How do you really make a baby?
You have sex, of course. Yes, you need to try and predict your
ovulation through charting your cycle, but if you and your partner
don't get busy, then your goal cannot be realized.
Obviously, it only
takes one time to create a baby. In order to maximize your odds
of conceiving, though, it is best to have intercourse at least
a couple of times during your fertile time. After having read
this book, you are aware of the infertile times of your cycle.
It is a good idea,
however, to be sexually active throughout your cycle. Why?
1) Frequency of ejaculation
can help improve the motility of sperm. It is not recommended
that your partner refrain from ejaculation for more than a week.
2) Trying to conceive can be stressful for both partners. If you
are only intimate in order to make a baby, then you are putting
undue pressure on those few times that you engage in intercourse.
Your partner may have a hard time a) getting or keeping an erection,
or b) ejaculating. To avoid these situations, have sex throughout
your cycle. Moreover, if you are having trouble predicting ovulation,
this strategy will maximize your chance for success.
How To
Yes, I realize that
you know how to have sex. Try and think of this as baby making
sex, however. It should be a bit different from your normal activities.
Of course, just by having sex, you can get pregnant, but if you
follow some of these tricks of the trade, then you will enhance
your chances.
Many believe that baby
making should be fun and spontaneous. Yes, you can have fun, but
spontaneity should be reserved for your infertile times. Baby
making requires planning to increase your chances of conceiving.
After all, if you wanted to be spontaneous, you wouldn't
be reading this book.
Sperm Count
Sperm count is a key
factor in conception. Total count, concentration, motility, abnormalities,
etc. are all components of semen analysis (S/A). If your partner
has been tested, then you are a step ahead of most couples. If
your partner has not been tested, then it is best to assume a
normal sperm count in the beginning of your trying to conceive
Normal Sperm Count
It is necessary for
your partner to build up his sperm count before starting the baby
making process. A three day period of abstinence goes a long way
in ensuring that there will be a sufficient concentration and
number of sperm to get the job done. Remember that abstinence
excludes all forms of ejaculation: oral sex, masturbation, intercourse,
After your partner
"suffers" through this three day period, have intercourse
on a daily basis. Make sure that you are timing sex at least 24
hours apart, though. Your partner needs this time to "refuel".
This means that you do need to schedule your times of intimacy.
Pick a time of day that you are both free and unencumbered.
Mona and her husband,
Mike, decide that 10pm is the best time to engage in baby making
sex. At this time, they are usually settling in to watch the news.
They are relaxed and have finished all of the day's chores
and activities. Moreover, they have a sufficient amount of time
and do not need to rush.
Mike and Mona's
1) They have intercourse on Monday night.
2) Mike then abstains until 10pm on Thursday night.
3) The couple then engages in baby making sex every night at 10pm
from Thursday through Sunday.
4) Mona's chart shows probable ovulation occurring on Saturday.
Low Sperm Count
For a low sperm count,
you should be engaging in baby making sex every other day (48
hours apart) because your partner needs more time to "refuel"
then a man with a normal sperm count needs. Abstaining from ejaculation
for at least three days before you start your baby making schedule
is still crucial.
Jeff has a low sperm
count. He and his partner, Cara, decide that since they usually
go to sleep at 11:30pm, they will start their baby making encounters
at 10:30pm.
Jeff and Cara's
1) On Monday, Jeff masturbates. He then abstains until Thursday
night (observing the three day rule).
2) The couple has intercourse Thursday, Saturday, Monday, and
Wednesday nights at about 10:30pm.
3) Cara's chart shows probable ovulation occurring on Tuesday.
It's not Working!!
I had recommended that
in the absence of any medical testing, you should assume that
your partner has a normal sperm count. After a few non-successful
cycles, however, a change can be made. You may decide to go with
the low sperm count schedule of intercourse which is every 48
hours. You might, however, want to try a more moderate schedule
of every 36 hours. The latter might be a little more tricky, schedule
wise. As a couple, you will need to find two times during the
day that are free and unencumbered. Obviously, this is a much
easier scenario for a childless couple.
Lucy and Rob have been
trying to conceive for four cycles. Rob has not had an S/A done,
but they have assumed his count was normal, thus having intercourse
daily. The couple decides that they would like to try the 36-hour
method. Lucy needs to get up for work at 7am while Rob doesn't
need to arise until 8am. The couple decides to set the alarm for
6:15am and engage in baby making sex. They know that they will
also have to have sex at around 7pm, about 36 hours later. This
is also a good time for them because it is after dinner.
Lucy and Rob's
1) They engage in intercourse on Saturday morning.
2) Rob abstains until Tuesday morning (observing three day rule).
3) The couple then has sex at these times: 6:15am Tuesday, 7pm
Wednesday, 6:15am Friday, and 7pm Saturday.
4) Lucy's chart shows probable ovulation occurring on Friday.
NOTE: If you are having
intercourse daily, then it is very important to leave 24 hours
in between "sessions", allowing time for your partner
to rebuild his sperm count. If you are following a 36-hour or
48-hour schedule then being off by a couple of hours will not
be as much of a problem.
Practice makes perfect.
It is much easier to plan your intercourse timing and frequency
when you have charted at least two cycles (three or more is better)
because then you will have an idea of your personal pattern. You
will want to know at what point in your cycle you usually ovulate.
This does not mean that you have to state: "I ovulate on
cycle day X". Although this is ideal, it is not realistic
that you will ovulate on the exact same cycle day each month.
It is more probably that you will be able to state a range: "I
will probably ovulate sometime between cycle day X and Z.
It is ideal to engage
in at least two baby making encounters before your ovulation date,
to try and ensure fertilization.
O Day is the Best Day???
Many women think that
if they have intercourse on ovulation day, then they will have
done their best. This is a misconception for three reasons:
1) Many women notice that their peak day (last day of fertile
quality cervical fluid (CF)) actually occurs one day before ovulation.
Since fertile quality CF is the best medium of transportation
for the sperm, it would stand to reason that your peak day is
the best day to engage in baby making sex.
2) Many women begin to dry up on ovulation day. Sticky CF or no
CF will be a major hindrance to the sperm's motility.
3) It is best for the sperm to be in the fallopian tubes before
the egg is released. It may take hours for the sperm to travel
to the fallopian tubes. Unless you know the exact hour that you
are going to ovulate, having intercourse on ovulation day can
be a hit or miss prospect.
So if the peak day
is the best day, then what? Obviously, if you are having sex daily,
then hitting the peak day is no problem. If you are having sex
every other day, it can be tricky. Try your best to include the
peak day, but don't fret if it's not possible. Remember
that sperm can live for five to six days in fertile quality fluid.
If you have two days of eggwhite CF, and you have sex on one of
them, then you are golden. Even if you miss your eggwhite day,
but hit your creamy CF day, then you will still have a great shot.
Many women want to
know what the best position is for baby making sex. There are
two that I favor, missionary and rear entry. The one position
that you definitely want to avoid is woman-on-top. The problem
with this position is simply gravity. When your partner ejaculates
while you are on top, there is an increased chance that the sperm
will leak out. Missionary is usually the favored position, but
rear entry has a distinct advantage of depositing the sperm closer
to your cervix.
NOTE: Rear entry can
be more of a disadvantage if your partner ejaculates too deeply,
creating a pool of sperm behind your cervix. To minimize this
risk, your partner should pullback slightly just before ejaculating.
To Recline is Divine
After intercourse,
it is preferable that you lie down on your back for at least 15
minutes with your hips elevated. This practice will allow the
sperm time to begin their journey to the fallopian tubes without
having to fight gravity. To elevate your hips, put a pillow underneath
your bottom. Have your partner turn on the TV for you or better
yet use the time to talk about your day with your significant
other. 15-30 minutes is all you need to allow the sperm to get
a head start.
Have a Tilted Uterus?
20% of women have a
tilted uterus. This means that the uterus tips either forwards
or backwards (anteflexed or retroflexed). Having a tilted uterus
does not decrease your chances of conceiving. It is actually considered
to be akin to being left-handed. You can improve your chances
by engaging in rear entry intercourse, however. Also, it is recommended
that instead of lying on your back for 15-30 minutes after intercourse,
you lie on your stomach instead. Put a pillow underneath the upper
part of your thigh for elevation.
Things to Avoid
1) Saliva: it can kill
sperm. It is best not to engage in oral sex before you have intercourse.
2) Some commercial lubricants: many of them will decrease your
chances of conceiving. If you must use lubrication, real eggwhites
are ideal. Also, a new product, Pre~Seed Intimate Moisturizer,
has been receiving rave reviews from women, so it may be worth
a try.
3) Woman-on-top position: it should be avoided at time of ejaculation.
4) Getting up immediately after intercourse: if possible, give
the sperm some time to travel by lying down afterwards.

moreMaeve Binchy is back with a tale of joy, heartbreak and hope, about a motherless girl collectively raised by a close-knit Dublin community.
When Noel learns that his terminally ill former flame is pregnant with his child, he agrees to take guardianship of the baby girl once she's born. But as a single father battling demons of his own, Noel can't do it alone.

15. Who do I call after surgery if I have questions?
1. Should I have surgery to fix my foot or ankle problem?
The decision to have foot or ankle surgery is a complex one, as recovering from foot or ankle surgery could require non-weight bearing on the involved extremity for up to several months, followed by a short period of time in a walking cast. Driving and employment limitations may effect your normal lifestyle significantly. However, surgery does provide acceptable pain relief and return to function, and is especially useful for treating conditions that have not responded to non-surgical methods, especially when there is bone, joint, ligament or tendon damage.
2. Why do the foot and ankle take so long to heal?
The foot is the first structure to hit the ground with weight bearing. Because the foot has to disperse greater force than any other joint in the body, it takes a long time to be able to efficiently manage this after surgery.
3. How well does surgery work?
Foot and ankle surgery works very well when the correct procedures are chosen for specific problems. The more we focus on pain relief as our primary reason for surgical intervention, the higher chance of success. Patient satisfaction after foot and ankle surgery is well over 90 percent.
4. Are there complications of foot and ankle surgery?
No surgical procedure is without complications, but most complications are minor and do not effect the final outcome. These include swelling, numbness, excessive scar tissue, superficial infections and acute pain. Complications that can affect the final outcome of surgery include, but are not limited to continued pain, worsened pain, recurrence of the problem or deformity, delayed or non-union of bone correction and hardware failure.
The three most potentially devastating complications following surgery are Osteomyelitis (bone infection), DVT (blood clot), and CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome). We do have standard procedures in place to quickly recognize and treat these complications when they arise so long-term complications can be minimized.
5. How much pain am I going to have?
Generally, foot and ankle surgery is not tremendously painful provided you follow postoperative instructions. A numbing medicine is placed around your ankle or foot after surgery and you may not have any pain for four to 24 hours after surgery. Also, the more you have your foot elevated above heart level after surgery, the better you will feel. We give painkilling medications after surgery, but most people do not need to use these medications longer than a week.
6. Can I shower or bathe after surgery?
For most procedures you cannot get your surgical site wet until the stitches are removed, which is usually done 14 to 21 days after surgery. There is a special bag we dispense to keep your leg protected while showering or bathing after surgery. If there is external hardware, you cannot get your foot wet until the hardware is removed, usually about six weeks after the procedure. After the stitches and/or hardware are removed, we require that you avoid soaking your foot in a hot tub, bathtub or swimming pool for a few days.
7. Will I have a cast?
That depends on the procedure. Some procedures only require a protective shoe postoperatively -which you will be provided with. Other procedures require a postoperative cast for one to two weeks, followed by a removable walking cast for protection. The removable walking cast (boot) is then worn for protection during the remaining period of non-weight bearing, and then used as protection to transition from non-weight bearing to weight bearing.
8. Can I drive after surgery?
If you require an anesthetic other than a local or are on narcotics, you will need someone to bring you to your surgery and take you home. You should avoid driving for the first 24 hours after surgery no matter what was done. After that, driving depends on your transmission and which foot was operated on. If you have a manual transmission, you cannot drive during the entire non-weight bearing period. If you have an automatic transmission, you may drive if your left side was operated on. If your right side is operated on, you should not drive during the entire non-weight bearing period, which may be an extended period of time. If you absolutely have to drive after right foot surgery, there are left foot accelerators that you can install so you can drive.
9. How much time do I have to take off work?
This depends on your job. If your job can accommodate non-weight-bearing, then you can usually return to work three to five days after surgery, depending on pain. If your job will not accommodate non-weight bearing, you will have to be off of work during this period and need to have modified duties when you return and until you are out of your protective boot.
10. Is physical therapy necessary?
Physical therapy (PT) is patient and procedure-specific. Usually, PT is necessary for major reconstructive procedures and in situations where transient complications, such as excessive scar tissue or stiff joints occur.
11. What kind of anesthesia is involved?
Anesthesia is based on the length of procedure, type of tourniquet used and your anesthesia wishes. There are many options for anesthesia, which include local anesthesia, regional blocks (popliteal/spinal) or general anesthesia. All local and regional anesthesias are accompanied by conscious sedation so that you are unaware of the procedure. Our primary goal is to provide you the safest, pain-free anesthesia.
12. What is a tourniquet?
A tourniquet is a cuff that is placed around your ankle or thigh during surgery to stop the blood flow to your leg. This allows us to be more efficient. A tourniquet is safe for up to two hours and can be deflated and reinflated for longer cases.
13. Will I be admitted to the hospital?
Unless your surgery is done on an emergent basis, there is a significant complication, or you have an extensive procedure, you will not be admitted to the hospital. Most surgeries are done on an outpatient basis and you can go home the same day as your surgery.
14. Will my insurance pay for surgery?
Most foot and ankle surgery is considered elective but because we are doing it to reduce pain and dysfunction, most insurance plans have good coverage for elective foot and ankle surgery. We do not know the intricacies of each individual insurance plan; therefore, it is up to you to determine whether your insurance will pay for your surgery. We can provide you with procedure codes to give to your insurance company and you can contact our billing department to find out how much we will charge your insurance for certain procedures. In addition to surgeon's fees, there are anesthesia fees and facility fees that come with using the operating room.
15. Who do I call after surgery if I have questions?
Your surgeon will be available to answer any questions you have after surgery and will give you information on how to contact him or her for questions. There is always a physician on call for our patients.
3. Do I need a custom orthotic?
4. How long do orthotics last?
5. Will my insurance pay for orthotics?
1. What is an orthotic?
An orthotic is an insert, either soft or firm, which replaces the insole of your sneaker. Orthotics can be expensive; therefore, we recommend not spending much more than $60 on an over-the-counter orthotic. We carry affordable over-the-counter inserts that are $40 or less.
2. How do orthotics work?
Hundreds of scientific studies have been performed to determine how orthotics work. Orthotics perform three major functions:
First, orthotics help disperse forces across your foot so one specific area of the foot is not getting overloaded.
Second, orthotics help slow down pathologic motion, such as overpronation or oversupination.
Third, orthotics improve what is called proprioception, which is your foot's awareness of its position in relation to the ground. This is a subconscious, neurological pathway, which probably contributes to why orthotics usually feel good when you put them in your shoes.
3. Do I need a custom orthotic?
Although over-the-counter orthotics work, custom orthotics work better and are more comfortable; therefore, we use them when over-the-counter orthotics fail to relieve symptoms. Custom orthotics are made out of higher-grade materials that last longer and are more expensive. When a custom orthotic is necessary, it is crucial that a podiatrist is involved, as the wrong type of orthotic can actually make people feel worse or even cause a different problem.
4. How long do orthotics last?
This depends on the type of activity and the material that the orthotic is made from. The more running one does, the quicker the orthotic will wear out. Over-the-counter orthotics typically last about one year. Custom orthotics usually last three to five years – sometimes longer. With children, we usually replace orthotics every two shoe sizes, depending on comfort.
5. Will my insurance pay for orthotics?
We recommend that you contact your insurance company to find out what your plan will pay for. Foot & Ankle Center currently charges $395 for custom orthotics.

Anyone who spends a lot of time on the water is eventually going to utter words that we've heard many times over while working in the fishing industry. "I don't know what happened, the rod just broke while I was casting it like I've done a thousand times before." For the most part, people don't really know what actually caused the break and are quite likely to want to put the blame on the manufacturer rather than just chalking it up to "Things happen." But let's be honest here for a second, the rods are pretty well made and breakages are rarely due to a manufacturing defect or something the companies are responsible for, but rather we do it to ourselves most of the time. I've broken three rods while fishing and every one was my fault, while at the same time I've seen numerous rods broken by customers while "demonstrating" a rods capabilities. All of these were avoidable if we follow a few simple rules.
Rule #1. Do not "demonstrate" how much a rod can flex by bending the tip over by hand. Rods are only meant to bend in a curve determined by the placement of the rod guides and the tension of the line running through them (from the reel all the way to the tip of the rod). Few rods on the market today can do the "Ugly Stik Bend."
Rule #2. Never high stick a fish. This means don't lift the rod tip too high when the fish is close at hand because it creates too sharp a bend in the top quarter of the rod. Remember that power is generated through the butt section of the rod rather than the tip.
Rule #3. Don't assemble rods in rooms with ceiling fans. Seems pretty self-explanatory but everyone does it at some point. Eventually the fan is going to have your rod for lunch.
Rule #4. Avoid hitting the rod tip with weighted objects during a casting stroke. Clouser Minnows and the like will score and gouge the rod blank creating minute cuts in the material. Eventually the rod will snap right at that score mark, kind of like cutting glass pipettes in high school chemistry class.
Rule #5. Don't swing fish into the boat or onto shore with a fly rod. This type of rod was not designed nor intended to carry the free-hanging weight of a fish. Try doing it too many times and you're bound to have a snapped off tip.
Rule #6. Set up your system to sacrifice a fly or lure before breaking the rod. Leaders and tippets are there to protect your investment as well as provide an element of challenge so don't set them up so strong that they won't break when the need arises.
Rule #7. Never set a rod on the ground or anyplace where it may be crushed. I try to listen when my inner voice screams "That's a bad idea!"
Rule #8. Store conventional rods in a rack that adequately supports them, store fly rods in a rack or in tubes designed for the purpose.
Rule #9. Avoid jamming the guides against hard objects because either an insert will pop out or the guide frame itself will break.
I could go on and on about a thousand and one ways that rods get broken but in the end they're tools made of millions of graphite/glass fibers, stainless steel, aluminum, and cork; that are subjected to a great deal of stress and abuse. And then we wonder why they break occasionally? Use the rods for as intended and protect them while not in use and they'll provide years and years of service. They're well-made but not indestructible.

Past Exhibitions: 2006
The Art of the Congo: Selections from the Helmut F. Stern Gift
October 1, 2005–May 21, 2006
Early this year, long-time UMMA benefactor Helmut F. Stern donated his extraordinary collection of African art to the Museum. Noted for its outstanding objects from West African cultures, with a primary focus on the art of the Congo, the collection has been regarded by many experts as one of the deepest collections of Congolese art in the United States. Portions of the collection will be highlighted in the expanded Museum facility, scheduled to open in 2008, but in the meantime, visitors can sample a selection of approximately twenty pieces from this remarkable ninety-piece gift.
Widely studied and published, the Stern gift was the focus of a major exhibition and accompanying catalogue at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in 1999 entitled Spirits Embodied: Art of the Congo—Selections from the Helmut F. Stern Collection. The exhibition was co-curated by former UMMA Director Evan S. Maurer (who was then Director at Minneapolis) and Niangi Batuluski. In the 1980s, Dr. Maurer, a noted expert on African art, worked with Mr. Stern to assemble the collection, establishing its focus on the Congo region and acquiring works from dealers throughout the United States and Europe.

NHL's Leafs-Sens Rivalry Hits Ottawa's Bar Scene
By Paul Vieira
The Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators have one of the more heated rivalries in the National Hockey League, and when the league resumes late next week after a three-month-plus labor dispute, that rivalry is set to play out off the ice in Ottawa's Byward Market entertainment district.
Two new sports-themed bars opened their doors in November, each with ties to either the Leafs or Senators. The two establishments couldn't be more different.
Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment — the Toronto company that owns the Leafs and the National Basketball Association's Toronto Raptors, among other assets — opened the second location for its Real Sports Bar & Grill franchise in the nation's capital. The first site, near the Leafs' and Raptors' home arena in Toronto, was named North American Sports Bar of the year in 2010 by ESPN.
The new Ottawa location has a nightclub-like ambiance, with two levels that can hold nearly 500 patrons. Ottawa's Real Sports says it has 99 high-definition TVs for sports fans, including a 27-foot screen above its main bar which it claims is the biggest in Ottawa.
Rajani Kamath, a spokeswoman for MLSE – which happens to be controlled by communications giants BCE and Rogers Communications – said Real Sports in Toronto and the recently opened Ottawa location have noticed "some" softening in sales due to the NHL lockout, although events such as mixed-martial arts have picked up the slack. Though owned by the Leafs and Raptors, she said Ottawa's Real Sports will appease the city's sports fans by tuning its TVs to what Ottawans want to watch – including Senators games.
Two blocks north of Real Sports sits a much smaller, less glitzy venue, called the Senate Tavern and Eatery, which its website points out is "locally owned and operated."
Steve Ryan, one of the tavern's three co-owners, said the name is "definitely" meant to appeal to Ottawa Senators fans. Word of mouth and the National Football League have helped bring some initial business, but Mr. Ryan acknowledged he has had to cut back on staff given the lack of NHL action on the tavern's 10 50-inch HD TVs.
"With hockey gone, it takes away two to three nights where you might bring in an extra two to three thousand dollars," he said, adding he couldn't spend on marketing to the degree that his Real Sports rival has. He said he's hoping the return of the NHL means business will pick up.
(This blog post was updated to include comments from a spokeswoman for MLSE in the fifth paragraph.)
