City hires finance director/treasurer
The Crosslake City Council decided Monday night, May 13, that Michael Lyonais will join Crosslake city administrative staff as finance director/treasurer, beginning at a rate of $70,000 a year.
Administrative consultant Dan Vogt told the council that Lyonais has experience as a municipal auditor at Larson Allen (now Clifton Larson Allen), and most recently worked at Landis+Gyr in Pequot Lakes.
While the city had advertised the position at $50,000-$55,000 a year, Vogt said Lyonais was almost overqualified for the job and required a higher rate.
"He's more than substantially qualified for the position; $50,000 to $55,000 was not going to do the job for him," Vogt said.
Vogt said Lyonais is highly qualified not only in finance but also management and leadership.
Lyonais' position as senior director of finance at Landis+Gyr was moved to another area, Vogt said, but Lyonais wished to stay in the area, which is why he sought the position with the city.
Council member Mark Wessels expressed concern over Lyonais' higher pay than what was advertised for the position, and said he was worried Lyonais would quickly move on if offered a higher-paid position somewhere else.
Vogt cited Lyonais' long stays at other jobs and felt Lyonais would make a commitment to the city. Vogt said the city has room in the budget to pay more in this instance.
The council was unanimous in its decision to hire Lyonais. Lyonais will begin at $70,000, then progress to $75,000 a year. His first day is May 20.

September 28, 2012
Almost three years ago I mentioned a classic quote by former Michigan State football coach Duffy Daughtery, "A tie is like kissing your sister." You get the drift of what he meant. But after Sunday's draw in Manchester I think that maybe he was actually talking about YOUR sister. The hot one. Because there was nothing weird or uncomfortable about picking up a point against the champions on the road, especially as we were the team to come from behind on Laurent Koscielny's incredibly satisfying strike in the 82ndminute.
The fact is, we played quite well apart from on the one corner kick late in the first half. Our defense was strong, our team play was magnificent and we created numerous chances. Still, we could have -- and perhaps should have -- won. Even Arsène Wenger said as much in his post-match presser. "[I am] a bit frustrated because I feel there was room to do more. We had early chances and very late chances, especially Gervinho at the edge of the box where he missed the target."
But before you think wasn't pleased with the draw, he later added, "It was not a miraculous point. It was a well-deserved point. We dominated the game for big parts and that must strengthen the team's belief. It's now down to how much we improve, how well we keep that attitude [if we are to win the title]."
Confidence is surely part of that attitude he referred to. And Mikel Arteta said that the away draw added to an already strong sense of confidence within the squad. "We have already been to three of the toughest places you can go to - Liverpool, Man City and Stoke - and I think we deserved to win all of them," he said. "Two of them we drew and one we won but we could have won them all easily. It shows we are doing things in the right way."
And they certainly did things the right way in the Milk Cup match against Coventry City. The League One side put up a good fight in the first half, in fact until Olivier Giroud fractured a waterfowl in the 39th minute the visitors kept Arsenal to a rather disjointed performance. But in the second half the floodgates opened. Arsenal picked up five goals: one each from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Andrey Arshavin and Ignasi Miquel and a brace from Theo Walcott. We also saw the return of the always dench Emmanuel Frimpong and saw impressive debut performances from goalkeeper Damian Martinez, defender Martin Angha and midfielder Serge Gnabry.
But it was the play of man of the match Arshavin that was really exciting. Goal, three assists, earned a penalty and just generally played hard in that favored central role of his.
Now, some of the naysayers out there will jump up and down and point to the fact that this was a team in England's third tier. Even Arsène admitted the gulf in class became more and more apparent as the second half wore on. But you don't have to look back too far to see Arsenal have a tough time putting away teams at this level in this competition. To echo my thoughts from last week, there is just something special about this team. Incidentally, the draw after the game pus Arsenal into a fourth round match-up against Premier League newbies Reading.
We also finally got word this week about Jack Wilshere's impending return to action. The Boss says that it will take some time for the England international to rediscover that "burst" he showed a couple of seasons ago, but he's convinced Wilshere will eventually surpass his old standard. Jack will line up against the West Brom Under-21s on Monday and assuming all goes well we can probably expect to see him with the first team shortly there after.
So with Wilshere and the aforementioned Frimpong fighting for a regular spot in the lineup - and Tomas Rosicky on target to return in a couple more weeks -- the Arsenal midfield is becoming increasingly deep. Wenger even remarked, "In terms of quality and numbers in midfield [it is one of our best squads ever]. For sure."
Let the 'selection headache' comments begin!
So who will miss out? Hard to say, but it would seem that Arteta is one who's role is very safe. The Spaniard has been playing a new role this season and has been playing spectacularly well in that deep position. Curbing one's instincts is never easy, and we've seen many examples over the years of players who are less than thrilled with a role-change. But as Arteta says, "It is a big transition but it is more a mental thing. The boss is convinced that is the best thing for the team and I am too, so let's do it."
He just keeps winning our hearts, doesn't he?
Looking ahead, Arsenal's incredibly tricky month comes to end with the visit of Chelsea on Saturday. The Premier League leaders have had a slightly easier road to this point in the season than we have - only two away games, one of which was about three and half miles up the road to QPR. Still, you can never underestimate Chelsea. Juan Mata and Eden Hazard look to have built a dangerous partnership and with Fernando Torres rediscovering his form, they are sure to remain in the title hunt all season.
It's going to be very interesting to see who lines up for Arsenal. The midfield options are growing, the possible forward combinations are practically endless, and there is even a question of which of our center backs should get the start. Honestly, even just considering how strong our bench is likely to be is getting me all ramped up! So who will the starting XI be? Find out tomorrow, same Bat time, same Bat channel. And by that I mean ESPN2 at 7:45am ET.
Come on you Gunners!

So far so good for this plucky little team from North London. Arsenal found their scoring boots last week in the 6-1 win over Southampton and then continued their winning ways in Europe by coming from behind to beat Ligue 1 champions in Montpellier.
The win against the Saints pushed Arsenal up to third in the table, but most importantly, it showed that Arsenal have quite a bit of firepower this season. Now, before you stand up and say "but it was against a newly promoted team that is bottom of the table," remember that the Saints have had an absolutely brutal fixture list thus far. And they have not embarrassed themselves by any means. Far from it. In fact, they held 2-1 leads over both Manchester clubs before losing to each by one goal.
Lukas Podolski's beautiful free kick was his second of the season, while man-of-the-match winner Gervinho showed artistry on the ball as he picked up a brace. Theo Walcott scored in the waning moments and Kieran Gibbs fired the shots that became two Southampton own goals.
When you look at who the goal scorers were, it's no wonder Arsène Wenger believes that pace is a key part of Arsenal's style this season. "They had problems to cope with the overall speed that we showed." In addition, the team is also showing a remarkable tenacity up front. In the past few games, the team has created chances not just through pace and passing, but through physical strength. Podolski is proving to be an incredible asset and he looks to have easily adapted to the English game.
But to the Boss, what really stood out in the performance was clear. "There is a positive energy in this team, a desire to play well together, and real team play. It is very exciting." He later added, "You ask anybody that has watched the game and we looked like a real team that wants to play together."
Thomas Vermaelen agreed with Wenger about the bond between players, but he also stressed that theyneed to stay focused ahead of the upcoming games. And that focus was apparent in the first half against Montpellier. After conceding a penalty in the opening minutes, Arsenal dominated play and bounced back with two quick goals from Podolski and Gervinho to take the lead. The second half was a different story, as the French side pressured Arsenal throughout. Still, we prevailed in the end and remain unbeaten.
Due to a UEFA suspension for Arsène, Steve Bould took the reins for the game. After the match he was thrilled with the win, but said, "I'm not sure I enjoyed it. I've got a headache and a half! It is tough. It's a different pressure than I've been used to taking the under-18s but we won and we had a great result."
Bould has been getting a lot of praise for Arsenal's defensive play and organization this season, but Arsène is making sure the other assistants, Neil Banfield and Boro Primorac get the credit they deservetoo. And Arteta is making sure that some other players who haven't had the spotlight focused on them get some as well. The Spaniard has been very impressed with the play and consistency of full backs Gibbs and Carl Jenkinson. Specifically, he noted Gibbo's ability at going forward, ("It's tough for a wide man to defend [against] a full back like him") and Jenkinson's "brilliant" crossing.
So not only are we playing very well as a team, but all of the sudden, we look like a team with very good depth. And that depth is about to get deeper as Jack Wilshere - out for more than a year - returned to full training this week. We shouldn't really expect to see him get much game time for a while yet, but this is a huge step that is very encouraging. Meanwhile, we also got positive word that two more midfielders. Emmanuel Frimpong is also back in training and Tomas Rosicky is edging ever closer to his return as well. That is a lot of midfielders, folks. It's no wonder Conor Henderson headed out on loan to Coventry City this week. He's a player with much talent and promise, but one who probably has very little chance of getting on the pitch this season.
Looking ahead, Arsenal have another busy week. On Wednesday, Arsenal take on Coventry in the Capital One Cup. But first up, of course, is a trip up north to take on Manchester City. The Premier League champions are even on points with Arsenal at the moment, but have hit a slightly bumpy road in the last week. But Wenger doesn't believe for a second that the late loss at the Bernabeu will sap their confidencetoo much. In fact, he's very much going to use Arsenal's performance against the Citizens to get a sense of his team's championship credentials.
No disrespect to any of our previous opponents this season, but this really is our first big test. A win at City and Arsenal make a big, big statement about their intentions this season... and maybe people who wrote us off a couple of months ago might have to dine on some crow. A loss... honestly, after the last three games it will be very tough to take. There is something special about this team and I for one am going to be very up for Sunday.
Come on you Gunners!

The first international break of the season is out of the way and Arsenal get back to business tomorrow at Emirates Stadium. The early news coming out of this is reasonably good. It doesn't sound like anyone suffered any big injuries or set-backs, although a couple of players did miss some action. Fortunately, international matches now have a slightly different schedule - games on Fridays and Tuesdays - which means players do get an extra day of rest.
The biggest Arsenal news came out of the French team with About Diaby scoring for Les Bleus in their World Cup qualifier against Finland. He then sat out the second match against Belarus due to a "small muscular problem." Wenger called him 50:50 to be in the squad tomorrow. Laurent Koscielny also missed out on both of France's matches, but he looks to have recovered from early season issues.
Bacary Sagna is still out, but the right back raised some eyebrows during the break after he expressed some concerns about Arsenal selling Alex Song to Barcelona. Arsène Wenger spoke with his compatriotand came out of the chat with a firm belief that all is fine on that front.
Off the pitch, Arsenal CEO Ivan Gazidis held a Q&A with reporters this week and touched on a number of subjects. The biggest takeaway came from the subject of Arsenal's commercial deals. When the Club moved to Emirates Stadium in 2006 they tied down some long-term commercial deals that were necessary to obtain financing for the stadium, but now are seen as far less lucrative than what many other clubs are getting from their sponsors.
But with those contracts nearing their end, Gazidis says the sky is the limit when it comes to commercial growth. "Once that kicks in on a really sustainable business, it does kick us into the top five clubs in the world with separation from the rest," he said. "That's a fairly extraordinary thing."And when you consider the impending Financial Fair Play rules, Arsenal could be in a fantastic position once those new deals come to fruition.
Putting that aside, it's back to business as usual as newly-promoted Southampton visits Emirates Stadium on Saturday. The Saints are currently the only team in the league without a single point, but that overlookshow well they have battled against both Manchester clubs. Former Saint Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain says he wasn't at all surprised that his former club were promoted last year and Arsène Wenger expects them to be dangerous. He also and praised Nigel Adkins for playing attacking football with a positive attitude.
However, their weakness so far is on the defensive side and few are expecting this one to be a 0-0 draw. Arsenal players have a pretty good history of breaking scoring slumps against Southampton so perhaps Olivier Giroud will follow in the footsteps of Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp and become another player to grab his first goal in and Arsenal shirtOlivie against Southampton. Whether or not he does break his duck, with any luck we'll put ourselves in a strong position ahead of a pretty tough run in both the Premier League and Europe.
Come on you Gunners!

Three clean sheets. Based on some of the chatter on the web and blogosphere in recent years you'd think the only thing 'three clean sheets' could mean in regard to Arsenal was a successful day at the laundromat. Of course that's far from true. We shut out opponents a dozen times in the league last season - 18 in all competitions. Regardless of your view, three shutouts to start the new season is worthy of praise and a big tip of the hat to Assistant Manager Steve Bould.
The mantra of the first two games - goalless draws against Sunderland and Stoke - was 'the goals will come.' Our new players just needed a bit of time to settle and they would begin scoring. And the wins would arrive. First you get the confidence. Then you get the goals. Then you get the weeeeeeeens!
Per Mertesacker said the team was already confident going into Sunday's match. "We believed in ourselves [against Liverpool] - that was the most important thing and we played fantastic," he told Arsenal Player. And sure enough, the goals did finally arrive on Merseyside.
In the 2-0 win at Anfield, Lukas Podolski and Santi Cazorla opened their accounts - and managed to assist on each other's goals as well. Poldi called the goals - and the win - a reward for playing well in the first two matches and gave an indication that he has very much settled in. "This is the Premier League and you must fight and run. We do this very well and we pass very well. This is my style of football - I like the style of Arsenal and we have the three points."
The other new signing, Olivier Grioud, has yet to 'break his duck' as they say, but as it took a few extra games for some Arsenal legends to get their first, we probably shouldn't be too concerned. Especially since the Frenchman is doing at least two things very, very well. His hold-up play and work rate up front has been impressive and he has been doing a fantastic job of getting into scoring position. The goals will come.
Wenger reiterated that getting the first win of the season was just a matter of time. "We already had a good cohesion in the first two games but we lacked a little bit of change of pace," he said. "That is now getting into the team."
Another standout from the Liverpool match was the play of man of the match Abou Diaby. Ever since his horrific injury in 2006 we've been waiting and hoping that he would turn back into that player he was so clearly becoming. Right now, at least, he seems to have achieved that. After the match Arsène Wenger heaped the praise on his compatriot. "He has absolutely everything you want in midfield. He hasn't played for a year but he had a good pre-season where we had him 45 minutes every three days and now he looks in good shape. There is more to come from him but what he has shown today is very good."
For his part, Diaby is taking it all in stride and says he is just happy to be playing again. "When you play in these type of games [against Liverpool], it is really exciting and you need to be ready. I am really happy and I hope I can keep going in that way." He also cited all of the support he has received from the manager, teammates and the Club over the years and added, "I want to be back enjoying myself because I love football and I want to pay back the club, manager and team-mates as well."
Perhaps most surprisingly, Arsenal have kept the three cleans sheet with their third-string goalkeeper between the sticks. And yet, three clean sheets is nothing to Vito Mannone. Whilst at Hull on loan last season, he had a stretch of six straight shutouts. The 24-year-old says the loan move gave him more confidence and he has no plans to stop fighting to be more involved.
Off the pitch, there was some player movement at the end of the transfer window, but certainly nothing like last year. Nicklas Bendtner and Ju Young Park went out on season long loans, Bendtner to Italian giants Juventus and Park to La Liga side Celta Vigo. Despite rumors aplenty, no new big-name players came in. But with the reemergence of Diaby and the impending return of Jack Wilshere, Emmanuel Frimpong and Bacary Sagna, you'd have to wonder where any new bodies would even fit.
The other bit of news was the draw for the Milk Worthington Coca-Cola Carling Capital One Cup. Arsenal landed a home game against League One side Coventry City on Wednesday September 26th. It's been over a decade since the Sky Blues were in the top flight and were relegated to the third tier after last season. Still, Arsène remembers them well from their Premier League days and suspects they will bounce back, much like Southampton.
No game this weekend as it is an international break, but plenty of our guys will be in action. Eleven Gunners have been called up for their country's senior teams and Francis Coquelin is expected to play for the France U-21s. Many of the games take place today and Tuesday which should hopefully give everyone plenty of time to prepare for the Southampton match on September 15th and the Champions League opener three days later.
Stay healthy you Gunners!

Back Yard Smoke
Original post made by Richard, College Terrace, on Jun 3, 2006
When my neighbors start a fire in thier back yard pit as they've done today, my house immediatly fills with smoke. You would think that with the warm summer day's upon us that a back yard fire would be unecessary if not counter productive. When we smell smoke we have to scramble and close all the windows and doors, on a day like today this seems ludicrouse.
With the current EPA attitued toward fireplaces in individuale homes how is it that you can't go into your locale hardware store or Home Depot without seeing these fire place pits on display for the summer sales.
Does anyone else have problems with this?
Are there any local ordinances related to this topic?

We do the same mad dash and it's year round. Fireplaces when there's a chill, pits on occasion the rest of the year.
Our house would fill up with smoke even with the windows closed, so we've worked on sealing the crevices. But we still have one small mystery one we can't find.
It's so upsetting to have to leave home until the smoke clears if I'm too slow to the window or not being able to go outside to work or relax because the air is thick with smoke.
I wish there were an ordinance about fire pits.

Yes, this is really annoying. Also, someone down the street from my house on Forest Ave. uses a fireplace in the winter, and literally the whole block smells like smoke. This is not only a health hazard, lucky I don't have asthma, but a pollution problem.
I thought I read a few years ago that fireplaces were restricted in new houses because of pollution. I know burning leaves outdoors is a no-no. How do firepits escape regulation?
This is not 50 years ago, when people were more spread out, and we didn't have to worry about global warming.

Stop your complaning. Now you want firepits ban! Everything is leaving or ban from Palo ALto ie: Gas blowers, hotels, food stores, big box retail. When does it stop? Every city around us is taking more of our sales taxes.

i agree, the fire pits have become a menace. In the cooler months, it is almost impossible to open the windows. No matter which way the wind blows, someone is burning their recreational fire. I have come to believe that the only recreational value in this device is for the one burning the wood. everyone else suffers... so much for consideration of the neighbors. whats that i hear? " but its legal." " i have a right to burn this wood in my back yard." maybe so, but driving a car is legal too, do you have the right to drive over people with your car? i find it stunning that so many adults act so childish and inconsiderate.
i challenge the wood burners to answer these questions:
1) when your fire pit is burning, do you leave the windows of your home open?
2) when there is a wind, which side of the pit do you sit on?
now, i could be wrong but my guess is that you do not leave the windows of YOUR home open as your pit is smoking and burning. i would also bet that you sit in a position where you are not in the direct path of the smoke/fumes and other byproducts of YOUR fire.
herein lies the problem... try to follow this logic:
your neighbor, who is getting smoked out by YOUR recreational fire cannot move his house out of the path of YOUR smoke. you on the other hand can just get up and move your chair away from the smoke and stink.
i challenge you wood burners to sit in the smoke and stink of YOUR fire instead of moving your chair to the fresh air side.
i also challenge you to leave your home windows open while you burn your fire pit.
in the long run, you will drive down the value of your own neighborhood. try to sell your house then. who wants to live in a neighborhood of adult children that smells like a war zone?

I too have a neighbor who has some weird need to burn wood every night in his backyard fire pit. He has a new wife and this must be his way to romance her. I am so sick of running a closing all my windows. His fire pit is near my bedroom and I have to close my windows on nice summer nights because of this. Isn't there a law to stop these fire bugs from ruining the air??? I am so sick of smelling his smoke and now feel like I must move. I am in my 60s and this is not something that I yearn to do since I love my home. Anyone have any answers???
Just call me smoked out with red eyes. :-(

Depends what they are burning, but some of these fires are much worse for you than second-hand cigarette smoke. They are especially dangerous for children.

Our neighbor burns a wood fire in their fireplace every night, all night long. We must close all our windows tight, and even though we have new windows, this doesn't keep all the smoke out.
Smoking cigarettes is prohibited throughout the open spaces in the city, but these wood fires are allowed. They do orders of magnitude more damage to health than cigarettes.
We have pointed out the health consequences of wood smoke to these neighbors, but they continue their nightly wood fires. Maybe they get free wood somewhere?
How can we convince them to stop?

I have the same problem. My neighbor to the back's older children seem to think it's cool to light a big fire, and my whole backyard fills up with smoke, and my house. I have no idea what they are burning, but I don't think it's just firewood. It smells like they are burning wood with paint it on, perhaps old paint with lead in it - I don't know. Once the smoke comes in my house from an open window, I smell it for a while. I don't like it and I think it is really inconsiderate.
The other thing is that unless I peak over the fence or actually see something going on, I have no idea if this is just someone having a fire, or someone's house on fire. Having lots of distracting smoke could prevent a real fire from being detected and reacted to.
It just as nasty as smoking, and it affects a lot more people. This should only be done on very cold days by people with chimneys that are really high so the smoke goes up and doesn't bother local people. How inconsiderate can you be anyway.
And I agree with Tyler above, people who just come here to call others complainers or tell them if you don't like it move out or some other variation should think before they act.

We'll have our fair share of wood fires in our fireplace this winter, but won't do any outside fireplace burning; as much as I like the right to a good fire, it doesn't seem reasonable to do so given how low the smoke source is and how close homes are the one to the other.

We have been having a smoke problem with are neighbors for many years. As for talking to them, we have twice and his wife told us to get a higher fence. We close our windows and doors, plug our mailbox and doors. We have also purchased 3 air purifiers to know avail. One time it was so bad, we called the fire department didn't do much good. I just don't get why people have to pretend they are out in the wood instead of going there. [Portion removed.]

I like the smell of smoke. You may have noticed when you moved to Palo Alto there were already an abundance of chimneys protruding from homes, so you had fair warning. If you really hate smoke, there are plenty of modern hermetically sealed apartment towers in the downtowns of cities where you wouldn't have to worry about it.

Wow, look like you hit a nerve. I have neighbors that do this ... maybe once a month, and it really bugs me ... like you it goes right into my open windows.
First my nostril flare and I get all worried that someone's house is on fire and walk around trying to figure out where it is coming from, them I realize it is my jerk neighbors burning stuff just to be annoying.
I don't like it, I don't think it should be legal in the city. Today this kind of wood smoke, and you never know what is being burned, it could be trash, lumber, paint or paper with chemicals in it. I don't like to have my health based on the knowledge level and consideration of people I don't know.
Today just asking someone, a neighbor of whomever to be nice or considerate can earn you dirty looks and a bad relationship for years. Just remove the temptation and make this illegal. If people want radiant heat outside in their backyards, let them buy those gas heaters you see at restaurants with street seating.

Mr Recycle:
>> I like the smell of smoke. You may have noticed when you moved to Palo Alto there were already an abundance of chimneys protruding from homes, so you had fair warning.
Great, shut yourself up in your house and breathe all the RECYCLED smoke you want.
If everyone who had a chimney lit them whenever they could and all the same time I think you would even be overwhelmed ... that is the point. Unless it is something we can all do, there will always be those who abuse their rights and do not care what effect they have on their neighbor, hiding behind the fact that a majority in the city will not know what kind of person they are.
What was the norm 100 years ago when most of the Palo Alto houses were built, or the more recent ones that contained chimneys for traditional reasons ... not heating reasons ... is not the norm or reasonable or healthy or particularly nice today.
The world's changing and some people want to resist it to the death ... smoke away, by all means, in your own house.

They have had burn bans in the Seattle area (Puget Sound) for over 15 years since the air quality was so bad. Only homes without any other source of heat were allowed to have fireplace fires.
I can remember that fireplace fires were unpopular in Palo Alto 45 years ago in Palo Alto, not only because of the smoke, but the possible danger of sparks from the chimney of one home catching another home or tree on fire. This may have been in the pre-spark arrestor days, but the bothersome smoke was a concern back then too.

Backyard fire pits are yet another example of the "Me first, screw you" attitude that is becoming more and more pervasive in this city.

I'm a solution based person. We already have health and safety laws in place for all new residential homes to install gas fire places. Why not meet people half way and allow back yard fire pits but ask that they burn gas instead of wood ? The burners get to have a fire and those who do not want to be subjected to toxic smoke won't have wood smoke and all its particulate matter infiltrating their homes and lungs. Seems like a fair compromise to me.

The real problem is that the people getting smoked out live next to selfish jerks. There is a lot of that going around lately.

By thatoneguy · PostedAnother disaster. I tried making relatively safe picks, and bombed. I have gone from the top 60 after two events all the way down to just over the 90th percentile. I need to just go with my gut
that is what we were thinking too.
Live link. http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/features/webcams/falconcam/index.html
Before you begin, make sure you have a good strong battery and make sure it's charged up. If you have a bad or weak battery, you may want to replace it because if it doesn't crank good and strong, you are likely to get a low, inaccurate reading. Make sure your engine is warmed up to operating temperature(if possible). About 10 minutes of riding should do.
First, take out the spark plug and thread in the adapter for the compression tester. Make sure you have the correct size adapter for your particular ATV. Slide your kill switch to the "off" position. Some ATVs won't crank over with the kill switch in the "off" position, so if yours is like this, then you will need to either unhook your ignition coil or ground the end of the spark plug wire to a good ground. You can use a jumper wire with alligator clips on each end to ground it. Next, make sure the throttle is in the wide open position. You can either hold the throttle lever with your thumb or you may be able to tape it or use a zip tie to fasten it to your handlebars to hold it in the wide open position. If you don't have the throttle in the wide open position, you will probably get too low of a reading. Also, if you are testing a newly rebuilt engine, the engine needs to have been run for, at least, 30 or 40 minutes or you will probably get too low of a reading.
NOTE: Before you begin with the actual test, make sure the threaded adapter is screwed in good and isn't leaking any air out around it.
With the throttle in the wide open position, push the start button and crank the engine over until the hand on the gauge stops moving. Each time the engine turns over the hand should raise a little more until it reaches the maximum compression of the engine. When it stops, that is your compression reading. This usually takes no more than 10 seconds. Try to avoid cranking an engine for more than 10 seconds at a time as this is hard on the starter and the battery. Now, push the relief valve on your compression gauge and that will reset the hand back to zero. It's a good ideal to repeat the test a couple or three times to make sure you get an accurate reading. On kick start models, it will be the same procedure, but obviously you will be kicking it over instead of using a start button. Worn piston rings and cylinder walls will increase the number of strokes it takes to reach the maximum reading. If you're kicking, it could possibly take as many as 10-20 kicks to get the highest reading.
You will need to check your repair manual for your particular model for the correct compression specifications. See note below. Usually, an engine will run OK if it has at least 100 PSI of compression. Most engines will have somewhere between 100-250 and some as high as 300 PSI, depending on the engine. Sometimes they will run with under 100 PSI, but usually not very well. If you get a low reading, you can do a "wet test" to try to help determine the problem.
If your reading is too high, then you probably have carbon built up on your piston and combustion chamber.
NOTE: You may get a low reading on some engines because some engines have a decompressor assembly built into the camshaft. Check the service manual for your quad to see whether or not your quad has a decompressor assembly built into the cam.
If you got a low reading, pour about 1-2 teaspoons of clean motor oil down into the cylinder through the spark plug hole and do the compression test again. If your reading increases, then your rings or cylinder walls are probably worn. If your reading doesn't increase, then it's probably your valves. You could have a bent valve, you may have leaky valve seats, or your valve clearance may not be adjusted properly. Also, low compression can be caused by a blown head gasket.
*Worn piston rings or worn or damaged cylinder walls
*Leaking valves
*Valve clearance not properly set
*Blown head gasket
CAUSE OF HIGH COMPRESSION (stock engines)
*Carbon buildup in combustion chamber and on piston
NOTE: Compression testing is a good way to keep track or "gauge" the wear in your engine. When you first get your ATV or when you rebuild the engine in your ATV, you can do a compression test and then later on, you can do them periodically. This will help you determine the wear in your engine each time you do a compression test and will guide you in knowing when your engine needs rebuilding.
This is about all I can think of. I hope I didn't leave anything out and I hope this helps everyone with their compression tests.
As dumb as this sounds how is this done?
Try a compression check. And make sure the choke is opening all the way.
They are not the best out their but for the price and your average person not too bad I guess, Its going to send lead to where its pointed. This is probably what is going to happen he is going to buy a package shoot it for awhile then start upgrading everything to how he wants it and it is going to end up costing way more than if he just built one himself how he wants it.
Hello, well I convinced my brother in-law to pick up my buddies old 1980 185 although pretty sure he said it was bored out to a 200? Here is the deal it's been sitting for a solid 8 years. I know it ran fine before. Not the delema----- It starts right up (he bought a new carb odd amazon) although it sounds like a jet with high rpms. Looked at the throttle cable that's fine. Floats are fine. So he plugged this hole in the air filter and got it to idle down although when he hit the gas wouldn't get any power. Read a few things online and they tell you to just bypass the filter box and all that so back to amazon we went to get one of those filters that mount right up to the carb and it's still the same issue.. I just haven't seen anything like this? Do you guys have any thoughts or tricks that we/he could try?! Thanks in advance
Atta boy!
Hi Everyone, I'm looking into buying my first true fish finder and I'm a little perplex with the mapping card situation. I'm looking at Humminbird Helix 5's and 7's. I'm drawn to the autochart feature. From my understanding, you can record 8 hours of charting onto the internal storage, but, is there any native mapping included on the unit or do I absolutely have to get some sort of mapping chip, zerolines or lake master, or navionics? Can I store data on a blank SD card? I've been researching this a lot and haven't found any conclusive answers. Thanks everyone!

Bit a trouble with a script to parse out specific lines in text file
So this file contains a number of lines in it and there are many tabbed areas. I was able to remove the tab spacing from the file to clean it up a but. I was also successful at pulling out the lines that matched a specific string. But then the wrench happend, there are a large number of lines that have carriage returns within the string contents. here is my goals...
String to match is "AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT"
1) Remove Empty Tab Spacing - done
I am using variables where you see filenames since the paths are long and I will eventually replace with a user input box of sorts.
2) Remove carriage returns after "AUTHORITY-CHECK " if the next line begins with OBJECT or there is nothing after AUTHORITY-CHECK
3) Write to new clean file - done
4) Select lines from the clean file that match the string "AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT" and write to dump/final file - done
So yes the carriage returns are mucking up my results. the information will be used to show our devs their fixes to the app are not working. So I want to make sure all lines are included. First results before I noticed the carriage returns showed 192 lines. Going back there about 326 total lines containing "AUTHORITY-CHECK"
Any assistance would be appreciated!

Movie Review: This Means War
Those out for a quick romantic/action fix will find it in This Means War.
Director: Joseph McGinty "McG" Nichol MPAA Rating: PG-13 Studio: Overbrook Entertainment
The head-on collision of high concept, high octane action comedy and romantic comedy may have worked in movies like True Lies, Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Charlie's Angels but a new one, This Means War, crashes and thuds noisily. Slick, fast moving and rotten to the core, at least the movie has the pouty, photogenic charisma of Chris Pine and Tom Hardy going for it.
Playing best-pal top level CIA guys who (for purposes of the plot mechanics, anyway) set out to cruelly one-up each other in order to win the heart of consumer magazine product testing honcho Reese Witherspoon, the talented Pine and Hardy work overtime to make their jokey chemistry look and sound convincing.
Their cow-eyed bromance clicks, though. In fact, it's way more convincing than their hot pursuit of chirpy Witherspoon, who scrunches up her face a lot to show us that her supposedly smart, successful character has been crushed by a recent romantic bust-up. In no time flat, both CIA dudes start violating every privacy and ethics code in the book, merrily spending taxpayer dollars on high tech cameras, wiretaps, and personal surveillance to track their blonde quarry's every move ("Patriot Act," quips Pine's cynical spook when a subordinate questions him).
What they're supposed to be doing, of course, is hunting a deadly bad guy (Til Schweiger), whose high stake scam kicks off the movie in James Bond high-style, cliff-hanging derring-do. But what does national security mean when love's in bloom? Although McG keeps the farcical car chases, explosions and tumbling SUV sequences coming at warp speed, the 14-year-old screenplay credited to Timothy Dowling Simon Kinberg smells musty and is riddled with gargantuan potholes.
A big romantic scene set in an upscale video rental store? In 2002, seriously? And what about the rom com cliché of having Witherspoon's character – a grown woman who constantly acts like a brain-challenged teenager – join the online dating scene and take romantic advice from a highly improbable bestie; a foul-mouthed, boozy, married harpy played by (an unflatteringly photographed) Chelsea Handler?
In the end, Witherspoon must choose between the two men and, of course, the audience is supposed to leave the theater happy that she chooses the lying, manipulative and despicable – and the lesser actor. Those looking for logic or consistency will leave feeling empty. Those out for a cheap, quick romantic/action fix will get exactly what they deserve.

Playboy.com's Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Week Four
After a week two with many surprises, Playboy.com's Start 'Em, Sit 'Em returns with some more good finds for week four.
Start 'Em
Christian Ponder: Last year, nobody could have justifiably advised starting a young QB against Detroit's pass rush, but things have changed. The Lions look tame and their secondary is a mess; after last week's little coming out party for Kyle Rudolph and the return of WR Jerome Simpson opposite Percy Harvin, this should be a good game for a Vikings offense riding high after beating San Francisco last week.
Cedric Benson: Supposing the Packers don't take a knee on every offensive possession in protest of last week's Golden Gate incident, Benson should be poised for a big game against a Saints team that surrendered 233 yards last week to Jamaal Charles, including a 91-yard score to put the game away.
Brandon Lloyd: Lloyd hasn't done a whole lot for fantasy owners who jumped on the train once he joined an explosive Patriots offense, but he has been one of Brady's favorite receivers and we like to think there is Moss-like potential there. If there was ever a week to confirm all our hopes and dreams it's this one; the Bills have surrendered the fourth most fantasy points to opposing wideouts, including six scores.
Vincent Jackson: Like Lloyd, Jackson is a deep threat who's been inconsistent for fantasy owners since joining the Bucs, but this week should be good as Tampa Bay matches up against the Redskins who, despite being shrouded in RGIII hype, have quietly given up the most fantasy points to wide receivers.
Tony Gonzalez: Gonzalez is the great ageless wonder, and despite an arsenal of game-ready weapons, QB Matt Ryan still loves Old Faithful in the red zone. Gonzalez currently ranks second in fantasy points at his position, and the Panthers have given up two TDs to tight ends in the past three games, so Gonzalez looks safe for at least six but probably more like 13 or 15 points.
Arizona Cardinals: NEWS FLASH: The Cardinals D is the real deal. Last week they contained (an admittedly awful) Michael Vick, and the week before they held Tom Brady to just field goals through three quarters of play. This week they get rookie Ryan Tannehill and a Dolphins team without any real flash outside the reemergent Reggie Bush.
Sit 'Em
Tony Romo: In order for Romo to perform as a top 10 or 12 fantasy quarterback, worthy of a starting job in standard fantasy leagues, he has to stay upright, and the 'Boys offensive line hasn't been able to help in that regard. Unless they've got a plan for Chicago defensive end Julius Peppers and a defense that has allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks, Romo is a surefire sit this week.
Shonn Greene: Since their week one offensive explosion, the Jets have looked a little lost at the line. It's unclear whether they just aren't sure what Tebow's role is (he was in on a handful of possession last week as both QB and a hybrid back but did little) or whether they are the pseudo-passing team of years past or a ground-and-pound like we all figured they would be. Either way, they draw a Niners D that projects as a top-ten unit any way you cut it; coming off a bad loss to Minnesota, they'll be looking for stops on every down.
Brandon Marshall: Sitting Marshall isn't so much about Marshall as it is about Jay Cutler and the Dallas D. They currently rank first in yards given up per game and owe that in large part to an exceptional secondary. That will probably be a problem for Cutler, who in his last two games has thrown for just a hair over 300 yards and five picks to only one TD. In short: be leery of Brandon Marshall.
Jason Witten: Once a workhorse and premier tight end on a team that knew how to use him, Witten has fallen by the wayside in fantasy leagues. Over the past three games, he's amassed only 76 yards on eight receptions with zero TDs. Adding insult to injury is his glaring lack of control; he currently leads the league in dropped passes, so week four calls for a better option. Any option.
Detroit Lions: We're gambling on the Vikings here. Christian Ponder looks like he's coming into his own in his second season, and he's found a friend in TE Kyle Rudolph. Adding value to the Vikings offense this week is the return of WR Jerome Simpson alongside Percy Harvin, so with a shaky Lions secondary and a diminished pass rush, we're thinking this unit does some damage.

Blocking sidewalks with trash cans
Original post made by Walker, Palo Verde, on Nov 15, 2006
Please try to remember that the sidewalks are for pedestrians to use and do not block them. Trash cans must be placed out without blocking the sidewalk and replaced into your property Tuesday evening. It is much too dangerous (as well as unsightly) to leave them out indefinitely.
Thank you.

Feel better after venting? When PASCO gave us our recyling cans they also gave us literature on how to properly position the cans on recycling day (wheels in gutter or on grass (not blocking the sidewalk) they also asked that cans not be put out later than 6 am on pick up day and be put away that evening. Perhaps you could simply talk to your neighbors or put an anonymous note on their can(s). If that doesn't work maybe PASCO could help. Good luck

it sounds like you need to move into a gated community where you all have the same color house and have to wear certain colored attire to jog around the neighborhood and everyone's married to a Stepford wife.
chill out seriously.

I think there might be a middle ground between the first and last message! I don't think that Walker was complaining on aesthetic grounds, which form most of the basis for those CC&R restrictions in new developments (gated or not). I think he did have a legitimate point about safety concerns, since the sidewalk is best kept clear so people can walk there.
I love reading this forum. People will just slam just about anyone for anything! I still think this forum should be anonymous, but keep in mind that it is easier to be super-critical and kind of mean when no one knows who you are, and you aren't standing there face-to-face with someone. Of course you can say what you want, though. I think being mild-mannered and respectful is kind of cool, though - especially if you don't have to be.

I have to agree. Blocking sidewalks with cars, vegetation and trash/recycling cans can be very dangerous. We have many blind people who use midtown for training how to be independent. What if any of them wanted to walk our sidewalks. Some plants in particular come out and attack at eye level.
Unblocked sideways are important for safety of pedestrians, and also for the safety of those backing out of neighboring driveways.
Lets see what we can do about it?

I know just what would make the situation better! As you walk down the street with your righteous indignation make sure you non chalantly tip each can on the sidewalk so that it falls onto the offending neighbor's lawn or in their flower bed. This way you get revenge for this annoyance and your neighbor is taught a good lesson. That will surely fix 'em!

Column had incorrect information
Mr. Bye's article, "gun allowance," in the Jan. 24 issue was a good discussion on the topic until his last sentence. Mr. Bye states he can "get along fine without a fully automatic high capacity assault rifle designed to kill other people."
That was a biased statement with incorrect information.
The weapon he describes is not fully automatic, it is semiautomatic. A big difference, and only the military has the fully automatic models. They are not assault rifles because they look like the military models.
Other than looks, they operate as and have no more fire power than the common semiautomatic deer rifle. The design items that make them look like a military rifle are for functionality, which are also useful for hunters.
The shotgun used by Mr. Bye filled with five rounds of buckshot will kill more students in a classroom in far less time than the weapon he's demonizing.
In other words, the rifles that only look like military assault rifles are no more dangerous than a common shotgun. Outlawing one weapon will not remove the risks posed by ill-intentioned people.
Everyone should watch the video prepared by Fleet Farm in Baxter. Go to YouTube and type in "Duck hunting shotgun proven to be more dangerous than a Huldra AR15." The video will convince you.

A person who has severe intellectual deficiencies who, somehow, bludgeons their way through school and college to a sub-standard university. A wannabe academic, whose awareness of current affairs involves watching Big Brother. Someone who applies to university simply just to pass an inferior BTEC course. Also, it is a reason for them to delay the obligation to find a job. Will probably work as a manager for a high street store in the future, but with little chance of gaining promotion. Thus, a person with a mediocre lifestyle and intelligence.

text: This is my first TBH. I wanted everything to prefect and I worked to get everything right. I got the bees Tuesday, temps were 65 when I started the install. I quickly realized that the small jar feeder wasn't going to work . They needed feed and they needed it quickly! Temps were going to drop for the next few days into the 40 & 50s during the day. So I found a tray and filled it with pine needles and poured a half gal of feed into it.. I took the spacer board and drilled five large holes in it. I closed up the screen bottom board and closed down the entrance to allow them some protection from the other hives. The queen cage was hung between two bars. I want to ck on the but don't want to harm them with the cool temps. I have so many questions. How cold is too cold? Because I will need to make sure the queen has been released . How long before I can see signs of wax being drawn? Did I mess up by drilling holes in the spacer board and how can I correct this mistake... Any suggestions would be wonderful.. Thank you.

My first batch of mead was completed just in time for Christmas. The batch was started Holloween and the yeastie beasties died right at 15% as promised the week before Christmas.
My goal was to make a cimmomon clove mead that I have been very fond of in the past. The flavor of the unflavored mead right out of the carboy has been great, but that was not my objective.
The hardest part of making mead has to be flavoring, hopefully it will become easier as I do it more. I was not real happy with the c/c flavor at first, but like most meads, the more you drink the more you like it. (hick) I did add a tart cherry to part of it and it made a drastic difference. The sharpness that I didn't like went away and was very palitable.
When I racked out the batch I put it all in one gallon containers. My thinking is that I can try flavors and still be able to cut it if it doesn't work out. Or if it really sucks,it wouldn't be too much of a loss.
I guess I have found another part of the hobbie to enjoy (hick).

Machines are more productive than hand coat/recoat.
Machines are more productive than hand coat/recoat.
The problem with thick coats is they crack and flake off.
We buy unwaxed and do it ourselves. unwaxed is cheaper and weighs less so shipping is less.
We also know where the wax comes from.
"Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." - Mark Twain
Could you please eaborate on how you coat your own? Thanks.
There a some threads here, with a lot of detial about roller or brush etc.
Click search and try some phrases , like recoat wax foundation.
I just brush it on, pretty heavy coat.
I ran a side by side test, found the recoated was drawn out faster, but may not be good advice for every one,
Broke T, do you have to coat the whole frame when buying the unwaxed version, or just roll it on as described in the many threads on here.
We only coat the foundation. We melt wax in crockpot and brush on with 4" foam brush. Dip brush and do one side. Dip again for other side. Bees draw it great.
"Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." - Mark Twain
What I meant was do you have to be sure to coat every cell on both sides or can you coat 2/3's of it and the bees draw the rest of it just fine, or do you need to do a very thorough job in wax coating.
With my limited experience, I think they will accept uneven coats and work with it.
The rolled-on wax does two things. It first gives the bees the raw material to work with (and if you pull out a frame after a couple of days, you will see how they used this wax to start comb construction). Second, once you get something started on these frames, the bees start working on the rest of the frame. Obviously, the more you put on (within reason) and the more evenly you roll it on, the better the bees can use it.
With lots of frames to mess with, I roll it on without too much concern for perfection. I'm not painting a house, I applying resources that the bees will utilize with great forgiveness to my sloppiness.
Jackson, MO
Beekeeping With Twenty-five Hives: https://www.createspace.com/4152725
This is where I get my foundation from and I'm very happy with their product.
The wax coating is just right, and my bees draw it out very fast. I'm 100% satisfied with this supplier.
Yes Grant I to have the same experience with the "waxed" plastic foundations. My question was about the "unwaxed" versions and how perfectly you had to be in applying the wax coating with them.
We try to cover it all but dont worry about corners and little missed spots. The 4" foam brush takes two passes on each side. One on top and one on bottom. Overlaps a little in middle.
Like Grant, we are trying to work fast and dont worry about little missed spots.
Works good.

Thank You

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by Darth Tater, Sep 23, 2007.
44 to 13
U of M 24 OSU 20 Damnit!
A new Avatar to bring luck to the Wolverines. They win 44-13
The morning before the MSU-UM game I had a feeling the score was gonna be 28-24...except I had MSU winning. Based on that experience, I'll predict: UM 31 OSU 24
We could see a Michigan-Oregon rematch in the rose bowl.
Unless Dixon's knee injury is really severe, then he will probably recover by then and lead the Ducks over the Wolverines again....
It would be interesting to see as a gage of how much UM has changed since that loss, especially if both teams are healthy by then.
It was obviously that Henne was ineffective in the first half. I would have pulled him early. The guys shoulder has not healed and he could not throw it more than 15 yards without grimacing. Wonder why they didn't just try to run up the middle with Hart behind a blocker or just a draw play with the QB running up the middle? The Illini expoited it last week?? The Buckeyes defensive line was much more stronger than the Jake Long led Wolverine O line. Mallet in right before the end of the 3rd qtr...with the OSU up 14-3. If the Michigan D can hold on the next 2 possessions there is till time to get two TDs and pull this one out...buti don't have any faith that this will happen....
Hart looks a little gimpy too. edit: Henne back in and almost connected on a long ball.
Well, I was wrong! I guess I had too much faith in OSU's little brother. At least when MSU loses in overtime later today (as usual) I can at least take some solace in the fact that "big bro" lost too. Look at it this way...maybe now you'll get a lesser bowl and will lose much closer than if you got in the Rose bowl...
OSU played good defense. I assume that Lloyd Carr retires. The players should all heal for the New Year's Day bowl game. Henne and Hart hopefully look good in the Outback or Capital One Bowl. Hopefully MSU gets a bowl game.....probably the Motor City Bowl in Detroit. They'll get a team that they can have a chance against.
Even given their crappy conference record, State might get a better offer if they win today. Lookin good so far against PSU.
Henne and Hart have been injured nearly the whole season and Carr squeezed 8 victories out of them. Today the OSU defense was just to tough and to fast for the Wolverines. Henne couldn't connect with anybody because of the sholder injury. Hart was hobbed too from the offset and the O line wasn't up to the task. Not sure what was up with manny dropping at least three passes though?? Other than letting the Buckeye running back get lose for that long TD run, the defense did their job and held the OSU in the check. (last years score was 41-38, this year, Wolverines cannot even get 100 total yards, let alone the 3 points.) Carr indicated that he would discuss his future later. (Still one more bowl to go in about six weeks) If he leaves, the next coach needs to be hired by Jan 5th for recruiting purposes and he needs to recruit speed at the skilled positions from California, Texas and Florida.
The thing is, speed would have been a total waste on offense today. It would have been an interesting game if it wasn't for that break out run by OSU. Missed tackles, dropped passes, and generally crapiness for UM. Great D by the Buckeyes however.
Fairly good season for the Wolverines considering the injuries. I thought we might score more than three points though.
Press Conference scheduled for 10:00 am.....On Monday.... at UM. Lloyd Carr says good bye.........
Let's hope so.
Yeah, he's going to leave, I think. A very sad day for fans...of MSU
Lloyd's winning percentage was 75% during his tenure. The program has a 75% winning percentage over the last 125 years.........That's the highest winning percent of all time for !A college football. I would have liked to have won more against Tressel, but we faired ok during Carr's tenure against Wisconsin, MSU, and Penn State. He'll leave since his existence is not totally about football. He's still young enough to enjoy the rest of his life. I for one thought he was a good coach over his tenure. Since 1968, when Bo Coached UM, the series is 20 games to 17 in favor of UM.......with two ties. An awesome rivalry.
Separate names with a comma.

You need to make sure internationally available and postable to the UK for a realistic amount - some sites charge around £40 even for small orders - no I didn't buy anything.

Talk to Kristin and hash it out. Don't let that guy come between you. Find out what happened from her…you're miserable without her. Give it another shot. She's young…hey someday you may be guilty of a peccadillo and she'll have to understand.

Hi everyone!
Last week, I had the chance to preview the new Shiseido products from their SS2013 collection, and really, the stars of the collection are the 2 new reformulated lipsticks. You will go crazy at the amazing colors and incredible texture.
It was hard for me to choose faves, but I will be sharing with you my top picks in the next entry, and also do some LOTDs with these yummy lipsticks.
Here, you will get to see swatches of all the lipsticks:
another shot
Perfect Rouge Tender Sheer
Just by the look of the lipsticks themselves, you can tell they are going to be super moisturising, and smooth. Even though they are named 'sheer' I would say each of them still packs in decent color payoff, and you can see the differences in the shade range. They remind me very much of the Maquillage true rouge series - but with more variety of color and bolder shades.
What's even more fun checking out new makeup is to oohhh and ahhhh over the colors and chat with my fellow makeup girlies!
