The deck drive belt on a White riding lawnmower or lawn tractor can take a lot of damage. However, eventually these belts will wear out to the point they will snap; and when they do, the mower will no longer operate correctly. Without the deck drive belt, the mower won't cut any grass as the PTO (power take off) will not engage and the blades won't turn. When you're performing other service and cleaning on your White lawnmower, check the condition of the deck drive belt.
Things You'll Need
- Leather work gloves
- Wrench
- Paper
- Pencil
Park your White lawnmower on a level surface. Engage the parking brake lever. Move the clutch lever into the "Neutral" position. Turn off the ignition and take out the key. Unhook the wires that lead to the spark plugs.
Disengage the PTO lever by pulling the handle backward. Lower the deck into the cutting position. Unscrew the deck arm retaining bolts, located on the left-hand arm of the mower deck, until they're finger-tight. Turn the belt adjusting bolt clockwise to loosen the deck drive belt.
Slide the belt guard off of the gearbox mount. Take the pin out of the left-hand cross-bar arm to disconnect the arm. Hold the cross-bar down, while taking the pin out, to prevent the arm from flying upward after the pin has been removed.
Draw a diagram of the old belt's routing, if the belt was still attached, to help you with the re-routing process. Pry the drive belt off all of the pulleys and take it out of the mower. Work the new belt around the pulleys in the same routing as the old one. Make sure the belt is on the pulleys completely.
Install the pin into the left-hand cross-bar arm to reconnect the arm. Put the belt guard back onto the gearbox mount. Turn the belt adjusting bolt counterclockwise to tighten the belt. Hold the deck arms in place, keeping them straight, while tightening the deck arm retaining bolts.

Snoyl wants Feyenoord decision
By Andrew Scurr
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Ferne Snoyl is worried that a permanent move to Aberdeen could be ruined by his club.
Aberdeen's on-loan midfielder Ferne Snoyl is worried that a permanent move to the club could be ruined by Feyenoord.
The Dutch side have yet to decide whether they want to keep the player at De Kuip, something that concerns Snoyl who wants his future resolved quickly.
Snoyl has already confirmed he would be happy to stay at Pittodrie, but the decision is out of his hands.
"I would like to be at Aberdeen next season but the big problem is that I still have a year remaining on my contract with Feyenoord," Snoyl told the Daily Record.
"Ultimately, it is up to Feyenoord to decide what happens and I have no idea whether they want to keep me or let me go."
Meanwhile, Jamie Winter is to return to St Johnstone from his loan spell at Aberdeen.

This Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter (the "Charter") was adopted by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Skullcandy, Inc. (the "Company") on February 12, 2014.
The purpose of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the "Committee") is to assist the Board in discharging the Board's responsibilities regarding:
a.the identification of qualified candidates to become Board members;
b.the selection of nominees for election as directors at the next annual meeting of stockholders (or special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected);
c.the selection of candidates to fill any vacancies on the Board;
d.oversight of the evaluation of the Board; and
e.the review of the Company's policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management.

The powers and responsibilities delegated by the Board to the Committee in this Charter or otherwise shall be exercised and carried out by the Committee as it deems appropriate without requirement of Board approval, and any decision made by the Committee (including any decision to exercise or refrain from exercising any of the powers delegated to the Committee hereunder) shall be at the Committee's sole discretion. While acting within the scope of the powers and responsibilities delegated to it, the Committee shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Committee shall have the power to determine which matters are within the scope of the powers and responsibilities delegated to it. Notwithstanding anything in this Charter to the contrary, all responsibilities of the Committee that are required under the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market to be performed by directors who satisfy the independence requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market (the "Independent Directors") shall be performed solely by the members of the Committee who are Independent Directors
The Committee shall be comprised of three (3) or more directors, as determined by the Board, each of whom has experience, in the business judgment of the Board, that would be helpful in addressing the matters delegated to the Committee. Only those members of the Committee who are Independent Directors may select, or recommend for the Board's selection, director nominees.
The members of the Committee, including the Chairperson (the "Chair") of the Committee, shall be appointed by the Board.

The Chair (or in his or her absence, a member designated by the Chair) shall preside at each meeting of the Committee and set the agendas for Committee meetings. The Committee shall have the authority to establish its own rules and procedures for notice and conduct of its meetings so long as they are not inconsistent with any provisions of the Company's bylaws that are applicable to the Committee.
The Committee shall meet on a regularly scheduled basis at least two (2) times per year or more frequently as the Committee deems necessary or desirable.
The Committee may, at its discretion, include in its meetings members of the Company's management, or any other person whose presence the Committee believes to be desirable and appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may exclude from its meetings any person it deems appropriate, including but not limited to, any non-management director who is not a member of the Committee.
The Committee may retain any independent counsel, experts or advisors that the Committee believes to be desirable and appropriate. The Committee may also use the services of the Company's regular legal counsel or other advisors to the Company. The Company shall provide for appropriate funding, as determined by the Committee, for payment of compensation to any such persons employed by the Committee and for ordinary administrative expenses of the Committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its duties. The Committee shall have the authority to retain and terminate any search firm to be used to identify director candidates, including the authority to approve such search firm's fees and other retention terms.
The Chair shall report to the Board regarding the activities of the Committee at appropriate times and as otherwise requested by the Chairperson of the Board.
1. (a) At an appropriate time prior to each annual meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected or reelected, the Independent Director members of the Committee shall recommend to the Board for nomination by the Board such candidates as the Independent Director members of the Committee, in the exercise of their judgment, have found to be well qualified and willing and available to serve.
(b)At an appropriate time after a vacancy arises on the Board or a director advises the Board of his or her intention to resign, the Independent Director members of the Committee shall recommend to the Board for appointment by the Board to fill such vacancy, such prospective member of the Board as the Independent Director members of the Committee, in the exercise of their judgment, have found to be well qualified and willing and available to serve.
(c)For purposes of (a) and (b) above, the Independent Director members of the Committee may consider the following criteria, among others the Committee shall deem appropriate, in recommending candidates for election to the Board:
i.personal and professional integrity, ethics and values;
ii.experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly held company, and a general understanding of marketing, finance and other elements relevant to the success of a publicly-traded company in today's business environment;
iii.experience in the Company's industry and with relevant social policy concerns;
iv.experience as a board member of another publicly held company;
v.academic expertise in an area of the Company's operations; and
vi.practical and mature business judgment, including the ability to make independent analytical inquiries.
2. The Committee shall, at least annually, review the performance of each current director and the Independent Director members of the Committee shall consider the results of such evaluation when determining whether or not to recommend the nomination of such director for an additional term.
3. In appropriate circumstances, the Committee, in its discretion, shall consider and may recommend the removal of a director for cause, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Company's certificate of incorporation and bylaws.
4. The Committee shall oversee the Board in the Board's annual review of its performance (including its composition and organization), and will make appropriate recommendations to improve performance.
5. The Committee shall consider, develop and recommend to the Board such policies and procedures with respect to the nomination of directors or other corporate governance matters as may be required or required to be disclosed pursuant to any rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise considered to be desirable and appropriate in the discretion of the Committee.
6. The Committee shall evaluate its own performance on an annual basis, including its compliance with this Charter, and provide the Board with any recommendations for changes in procedures or policies governing the Committee. The Committee shall conduct such evaluation and review in such manner as it deems appropriate.
7. The Committee shall discuss with management the Çompany's policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management.
8. The Committee shall manage and review executive officer and director indemnification and insurance matters.
9. The Committee shall periodically report to the Board on its findings and actions.

I know this sounds kind of conceited, but I had a hard time choosing my favorites! Looking back on all the posts I've done this year, I kind of love them all! Which I guess is good... since it is my blog... I should love what I post! But really, between our weekend adventures, various holiday and birthday adventures, my confessions, the Guy Behind the Blog, currently posts, and so much more, it was hard to narrow down my favorites.
Thank you all so much for reading (and commenting!) on my blog! I feel so lucky to have such amazing readers and to have met and connected with some even more amazing women (and even some in person!). Never in my wildest dreams would I have made real friendships through an online community, but I truly have, and am so grateful for it.
Here's to more fun in 2016!

Save $37.35 (10%)
I'm pleasantly surprised on how well put together this exercise bike is made. It was fairly simple to assemble, by myself. You can definitely get a great workout on it! The display is quality, as well.Read More
A nice and well made bike for the price...like with any recumbent bike, if you are overweight, it can be uncomfortable altho there are adjustments that can be made to extend the seat! Very durable and roomy...I did sever the wire so be careful of your charger...Read More
I got all the pieces and it went together fine. The box was torn in half upon arrival. After being lost for three days.Read More
Overall nice machine. The "I" beam base needs to be more ridged where it bolts together(maybe drill & add another bolt)Read More
Since Im over the weight, it feels like a big wheelRead More
The box it came in had been re-taped from its original factory packing. About half of the parts were not locked in to their foam holders and part of the top of the flywheel casing was scratched. It had obviously been opened once before and no care was taken to ensure the pieces in the box were secure before shipping it off to me. The bike was easy to assemble with the provided instructions. I had it up and running in about an hour. I have only used the machine once so far, but my son has used it twice since we received it on 1/8/16. It works great with no noticeable signs of its shipping deficiencies so far.Read More
I had knee surgery & I used this bike faithfully... Was able to return to work in two weeks... A miracle....Read More
This is so outstanding and great to have for your health, I recommend this to anyoneRead More
Not nearly as hard to assemble as some suggest...just be aware that most of the hardware is already screwed into the bike.Read More
Very happy with this exercise bike, use daily 30 min for regular workout. Built by Sole so it's good quality. The box arrived in very poor condition but nothing was damaged inside.Read More
The bike arrived in a deplorable package. Xterra ships a 120 bike in a single ply cardboard box held together with standard packing tape. Both the top and bottom seams were split open and there were many holes and tears in the sides. What was left of the box had no rigidity, it might as well been wrapped in paper. I gave careful consideration to leaving it on the UPS truck and sending it back, but having had excellent experience with Overstock's customer service I decided to take the risk. There are some scrapes and scratches, but all-in-all this is a great bike and I am very pleased with its price, performance and features. Xterra builds excellent equipment, but their packing and shipping department is about as incompetent as anyone could be.Read More
I got this bike after much research, needing to replace the ******** I had for 12 years and which was just worn out. The negative reviews in the past couple of years for the ******** bikes convinced me that ******** was doing the corporate cost-containment thing and going cheap with their quality, and I can't afford to spend money on stuff that breaks down. This bike arrived when promised. The carton was a bit beat up, but everything was there and there was no damage to the parts. Careful when assembling this bike - the parts list shows many nuts, washers, and bolts which are already attached to the bike, which I didn't spot; so I thought a couple bags of parts were missing from the box until customer service told me they would be attached to the bike already. Assembly took 90 easy minutes, and everything went well. The bike is solid and utilitarian - it has good resistance, smooth operation, noticeable changes in the 24 levels of resistance (once you get past the first 4 or 5 levels, which all seemed to offer the same low level of resistance). The biggest surprise was the pulse monitor - this one is actually accurate. I am skeptical of heart rate monitors on exercise equipment, as they seem to have such wild ranges; but the SB2.5 was dialed in right at the same pulse rate that my 'thumb' monitor showed. And, it does have the connection for a chest strap monitor if you want to buy one of those. After a couple days of use, I had to re-tighten the frame bolts securing the front and back frames, as they had worked loose. If that continues, I'll just replace the bolts with longer ones that are secured by lock nuts. The electronics worked fine, even though there is an anomaly in connecting the readout wire harness with the base harness. One pair of wires is brown-yellow; the other connecting pair of wires is brown - brown/white; so it is a bit of a guess as to how to connect them. I was fortunate in that I guessed right the first time. If you guess wrong in connecting this basic wiring harness, you'll just have to remove a few bolts holding the display on, and change the connection. This bike has more of a recumbent position than my nautilus, which I like. It's very easy to reach 140 heart rate, and the display shows all measurements at once - speed, calories, distance, time, pulse. resistance level. I don't use the programs - just set it on manual, and increase the resistance levels at different intervals. This bike seems to be a good, functional, solid recumbent bike.Read More
The product is an excellent value and a very good tool towards achieving regular physical maintenance. The seat is FLAT, bottom and top, so it lacks a support in these areas I would have preferred. However, having put that singular complaint to rest I will say that the mechanism's operation is flawless. It is a silent operating bike and the electronics are straight-forward and easy to operate. Just as important is that when an issue came to mind requiring I contact Overstock directly, their representative took control of the matter and remedied the situation IMMEDIATELY . All in all I am very please with this product. Had the seat been more towards what I was expecting, i.e. contoured rather than flat, I would have allowed for 5 stars. After shopping for some time on-pin as well as doing so "hands-on" at outlets and retailers, I am satisfied that this is the best machine for the money.Read More
Xterra 2.5 is a fantastic deal that rivals many gym quality bikes. Vry sleek features and exxcellent color display (that is not overly large to keeo you from watching TV. The speakers are weak for an MP3 or ipod pulgin, but if you are like me, I listen to earbuds anyway. The pedalling is very smooth due to a good size and weighted fly-wheel. I initially got a little "knocking" sound on the right peddle, and a little W-40 sprayed into the pedal thread cleared it up. The fly-wheel housing is a little thin and UPS ruined the first bike on delivery, and had to return it in route before it ever got delivered, and now they ruind a second bike due to their rough mishandling. The bike works good, but the fly-wheel housing is cracked from the 2nd delivery and I am in progress with Overstock to get anouther housing (with the flywheel), or another bike (this would make bike #3). Overstock folks are very good with their customer service and I have stated that a better carriers besides UPS would help since UPS obvously cannot deliver products wighing over 100lbs, in undamaged condition.Read More
As other reviewers have noted, the box came to us all shredded and torn up, but we were lucky enough that the bike was ok. The box specifies it should be delivered by two people - however, Overstock sends it via a shipper that only has one person, so that person has to drag the box off the truck and to your porch. Once assembled, this is a nice bike -- I weigh more than average and the seat is comfortable and the bike works well, although the programming is not very user-friendly (and there is not any information in the booklet about the different settings, how to program it, etc.). Right after we bought the bike, there was a power outage and the control panel fizzled out. It was clear what the issue was and we told the manufacturer that the control panel needed to be replaced, but the manufacturer instead told us they thought it was something else and sent us other parts to try to fix the issue (these parts were VERY small, and while I was lucky my husband has a lot of tools, patience and expertise in this area, others would probably have to hire someone to replace the parts they sent). After the many hours of the work we did on it, the problem was not fixed (the issue was in fact the control panel, as we told the manufacturer from the start). The manufacturer just wanted to buy time because they didn't have it in stock (they told us this later) - once they accepted that we needed a new control panel, it took them about 6 weeks to send it to us. Our advice: Put an expensive/high quality surge protector on it to prevent this issue and make sure an able-bodied person is home when its delivered to help the delivery person with getting the box into its' arrival location in one piece.Read More
The shipping box was not designed well for this relatively heavy bike. It should have had heavy duty flat pieces of cardboard in the bottom of the box before loading the bike parts, and on the top before closing the box top offer better support and protection during shipping. It could also use more straps (and tighter straps) around the outside. Several of the straps on my box had slid down to the ends of the box as shippers handled the box. As they slid the box on their trucks, the straps slid along the box. As a result of this poor packaging, my bike arrived with the bottom of the box spread open at the box cover seam and there was some minor damage to the bike. One piece of plastic scraped rather deeply and the large plastic "body covers" for the bike were somewhat scuffed due to repeated shifting and rubbing inside the loosened packaging. As for the bike itself, overall, it is very nice with one exception. I feel the bottom seat support should be larger, slightly softer, and preferably contoured a little. Even better if the seat bottom (And back) could be a little adjustable for angle. I test road many bikes before buying this bike (Over the internet without being able to sit on it in person). I found several other bikes with better seats, like some NordicTrac and ProForm models, but these either had poor reviews or had too much peddle resistance in their lowest setting. Others like some Schwinn bikes had good reviews but their seats were very hard and uncomfortable. This Xterra seemed to have a good compromise of price, peddle ease, program variety, durability, and seat comfort given what I could see from the pictures, specs, and reviews. I bought this bike for my mother who had a knee replacement about 6 months ago. I have used it to get my own evaluation of it and she has used it as well. The walk through design is good for people with limited mobility. Overall, I am pretty happy with the bike, and the seat is pretty good, but if the seat was redesigned and improved, the bike could be fantastic. If it had a better seat, I would probably buy one for myself.Read More
First, packaging cannot withstand the delivery process. UPS had to send first one back even before it reached me. The second one was pretty beat up but I regretfully accepted it. The unit went together easily and seemed sturdily made but the electronics did not work. Cust. Serv of both Overstock and XTERRA were very helpful but I had to diagnose the problem and would have had to take apart the machine to replace a flimsy wire harness to the unit's plug that was broken. The units packaging condition due to handling may have been the cause of the break but the harness was not very well made. The risk/reward of receiving a functioning bike at a good price is not worth it .The machine is going back. Overstock has promised a full refund. Finally,I would not put very much faith in the durability of the bike if you do get one that works from the start. I was looking forward to a reliable exercise machine but was greatly disappointed.Read More
I had no trouble following the instructions to assemble the bike. It did no turn on when I tried to use it. After several conversations with Overstock we discovered a cut in the wiring harness. Within a week of finding the problem I received a replacement part and it now works great. This bike does everything the bike at the gym does for a much smaller price. Overstock stayed with it until the problem was solved. They gave me several options on how I wanted to handle the problem and they dikd everything they said they would do.Read More
Absolutely wonderful bike, the kind you'd find at a gym. Very easy programs that are easy to use, as I have severe ankle arthritis. Also, good tough work out progams! It took about 2 hours to assemble and my husband said it was difficult due to the instructions. Must be strong to assemble! Programming was easy I love it as it's very comfortable even with arthritis problems! . Fast delivery!Read More
Good, sturdy bike, quiet. Could use more instructions on programming.Read More

This area of verbier has easy access and there is a marked ski areawhen you first enter the valley comprising a huge bowl with reasonablegradients and lines which are not too intimidating.
As a result, the main bowl tends to get tracked very quickly. However, there are some stunning lines that descend down perfect couloirs into the valley offering a heart pumping descent, although access to these lines requires
local knowledge and a head for heights.
Even within the main bowl itself there are a great many secret lines, including routes through the trees and if you know how to find them you can be assured of fresh tracks long after the main bowl has been tracked out.
The exit from the valley requires poling and skating along a road which winds itself back to a lift station – but do not leave it to late as missing the lift results in an expensive taxi ride!

If Maggy's Prophecy Comes True In 'Game Of Thrones' Season 7, Does Jaime Have It In Him To Kill Cersei?
Warning: Game of Thrones spoilers ahead, obviously.
Has there ever been a relationship more toxic than Jaime and Cersei's on Game of Thrones? The incestuous affair of the Lannister twins has always seemed to bring out the best and the worst in them, ever since Jaime pushed Bran out of a tower window for having caught them in the forbidden act in the very first season of the show.
Now that , however, we're left wondering if the bond between them could start wavering — just look at Jaime's face when he comes back to King's Landing to find the Great Sept destroyed, along with all of the people inside, , his last son dead and his sister and lover sitting on the Iron Throne.
This makes even more sense when you consider to a young Cersei Lannister, in which she professed that Cersei would wed the king, have three children with golden crowns, and die strangled at the hands of the valonqar, the High Valyrian word for "little brother." Now that the first two parts of the prophecy have come true, we're basically stomping our feet for the last act to happen — but who will carry out the deed? It could be anyone's little brother, but if you narrow it down to Cersei's siblings, both Tyrion and Jaime would fit the description, since Jaime was born a few minutes after his sister. If it turns out to be Jaime whose mission is to stop the new queen, however, does he have it in him to kill his most significant other?
Jaime Would Do Everything For Love
It was clear pretty much right away that Jaime and Cersei's sexy sessions weren't just some kind of mad fling — their incestuous relationship had been going on since childhood and was growing stronger every day. As Kingsguard, Jaime was forbidden from marrying so he stayed faithful to his sister, although she had a few partners that weren't always just strategy.
As Cersei herself said to the face of Ned Stark:
"Jaime and I are more than brother and sister. Came into this world together, we belong together."
Serving as a sort of proof for just how deep Jaime and Cersei had fallen in their infatuation for each other, Jaime pushed 10-year-old Bran Stark out of the window when the poor boy caught them during intercourse on their trip to Winterfell. Far from remorse, the only thing that Jaime would sigh then was:
"The things I do for love!"
And the sentence held its truth, as Jaime would always come back to Cersei and their children, despite her ruthless attitude, her mood swings, and her other lovers. Even when it's clear that he disapproves of Cersei's little schemes, he's there to comfort her and make a few vain attempts at keeping their family together. They fail, but who can blame two motherless children for being so terrible at parenting? When they received a message from Dorne threatening that their daughter Myrcella's life was in danger, he promised to "bring our daughter home," in what we could call his most fatherly declaration yet.
His blinded love took a more disturbing turn, however, when he forced himself upon Cersei right next to the corpse of their eldest son Joffrey. His actions started out as an attempt to comfort her after the death of Joffrey, but his furious passion got the best of him, showing just how toxic their bond can be.
At The End Of The Day, Is Jaime Lannister A Good Guy?
When Jaime Lannister first appeared on Game of Thrones, he was pretty much a villain in the eyes of the viewers and the rest of the characters. His assassination of Mad King Aerys earned him the infamous sobriquet of Kingslayer, but as much as he hated it, he never actually spoke up about why he killed the king he was so loyal to. That is, until he confessed to Brienne that his intentions had been to stop the Mad King from "burning them all."
And there's more to Jaime's encounters with Brienne that reveal some uncomfortable truths, far from the spying walls of King's Landing. Ambiguous or not, it's his first relationship with a grown woman that isn't Cersei, and it's safe to say that of the two, Brienne's the one with her head on her shoulders. Her presence is like a sign of hope that there's more out there than consuming yourself in taboo incest with a woman who seems way too ambitious for her skills.
It also looks like Jaime's various trips to the field helped him get a better grasp on reality than his royal wannabe of a sister, slowly but surely starting to question Cersei's perceptions of what's right and what's wrong. When Jeffrey is poisoned, Cersei immediately points to Tyrion as the culprit, but Jaime insists on several occasions that his brother's involvement is far from proven. Could he be the only Lannister with an actual, if tiny, sense of decency? His loyalty to the king and the fact that he sacrifices his reputation to save the lives of thousands of innocents make this sound not so absurd.
The Prophecy: The Ultimate Act Of Love?
Going back to Maggy's prophecy, there are three possible scenarios for Jamie: Either he's not involved, he snaps after years of Cersei blocking him from bringing out the good guy buried deep within him, or he strangles Cersei as the ultimate act of love when he gets to the point where he truly believes that it's the best possible outcome for both of them.
In an interview with The New York Times, the actor behind Jaime, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, hinted that Season 7 would signify a new dawn in Jaime and Cersei's relationship.
"He once said, 'The things I do for love,' and it was all about protecting his sister and also the kids. Now they're all gone."
Speaking of the look on Jaime's face in the season finale, he acknowledged that the former Kingsguard was terrified of seeing his sister go crazy:
"I think basically he's in shock. So many things are going through his head — you look down and you see your sister telling the rest of the world to go to hell. The woman you love has turned into this seemingly mad woman."
Does Jaime feel like he's already lost Cersei? Ultimately, her unscrupulous trick on the Great Sept of Baelor might lead Jaime to realize that he's left with no other choice than to stop her — just as he stopped the Mad King before.
"The cruel irony is he killed the Mad King in order to save King's Landing, and he comes back to find out his sister pulled the trigger instead."
How beautiful would it be if Jaime kills Cersei with the very golden hand she got forged for him, professing his love while earnestly believing he was doing the right thing?
What do you think does Season 7 of Game of Thrones hold for Jaime and Cersei?

What sort of lube when trying to conceive?
I've heard nothing but good things about Pre-Seed... Some women on here I know even think that was the determining factor in conceiving because they'd tried a while beforehand.
It's got a consistency and pH that is conducive to your man's little swimmers.
Another thing that works is unrefined coconut oil. It's got the same qualities and it also makes a good massage oil! (Among many, many other uses)
Most lubricants are not particularly helpful when trying to conceive because they slow down or kill sperm.
What good ones do you know of?

Firstly, Pyramid Saimira has decided not to invest money on Kannada films. Secondly, the failure of movie Madesha has broken the faith on director Ravi Shrivatsa. However, Raghavendra Rajkumar has denied the reports claiming that the movie Om is dropped. He said, Ravi Shrivatsa has already written a story, which is not liked by all three of us. We have told him that the subject of the movie should be liked by all three of us. He has agreed to write another story with interesting subject.All three of us wants to act together at least in one movie in our life time. We dont want to make movie, which will bore the audiences. The audiences should not blame us. Instead of doing such a bad movie, better we will stop now itself. We have been still considering the subject of the movie, he added.Raghavendras words prove that the movie may not go to sets. It may be dropped here.

Mobile Phone Buying Guide
A Smartphone is a mobile phone with an operating system and advanced features that means it behaves more like a computer than an ordinary mobile phone. You can browse the web, download thousands of apps and send emails from your Smartphone.
They're great if you're always on the go and need to keep yourself up-to-date.
More advanced Smartphones will typically feature faster processors, better cameras and larger, higher resolution screens.
Usually falling between 5in and 6.9ins, Phablets are a cross between smartphones and tablets. The bigger than average screen means they're great for watching movies on the go, you can see apps more easily and view photos without enlarging or distorting their sizes. Plus they make it easier to browse the Internet.
These are mid-range handsets which fall somewhere between a smartphone and an entry level phone. They feature a limited web browser, which may only support slower GPRS Internet speeds, rather than the faster 3G you get on Smartphones.
Most feature phones will support email and include some built-in apps for social networking.
These phones are ideal if you need to stay in the loop but prefer to check emails and browse online on your computer.
If you're looking for a simple, uncomplicated handset to make calls and send the odd text without access to the Internet, and you don't want a contract, then an entry-level mobile phone is the perfect choice for you.
They often have a longer battery life and some have additional features such as a camera.
It makes sense to protect your beautiful new phone with one of our cases.
We offer a full range of the latest fashion cases as well as rugged protection, portable power cases and much, much more.
Don't forget your memory card, please make sure you buy the right card for your phone.

Technology that puts you in control with the things you love, from tracking your fitness, communicating with your world to buying your coffee.
Please see individual product details for full features.
The megapixel count is a good indicator of the quality of photos your phone's camera will take. More megapixels will mean better quality photos whilst HD video recording feature will let you capture pin-sharp high definition photos on your phone with premium models allowing you to record in 1080P Full HD.
Look out for flash for indoor shots and zoom feature to get in close. Phones with a second camera on the front are great for making video calls and taking 'selfies'.
The quality of a phones camera is based on the quality of the lens and the phone software. The higher the mega pixel the greater the picture resolution, which means you can display bigger, clearer pictures on your PC. MP is short for megapixel. A pixel is a small dot that makes up an image. A megapixel = 1 million pixels. Useful camera features available on phones are Flash (a must for taking pictures indoors), zoom (allows you to get a better view of distant subjects) and shake control (prevents blurry photo's).
The processor or CPU chip built into the phone does all the processing and calculations.
A phone with a higher MHz or GHz figure will process things more quickly and efficiently whilst Dual-Core processor chips mean lower battery consumption and let you do more things at once. Plus they're better for gaming.
A Quad-core processor is even more powerful and quicker at multi-tasking, gives you a faster, smoother performance and further improves battery life.
Resolution is the number of pixels on the screen with high-resolution screens featuring smaller pixels so the images are much sharper.
PPI or pixels per inch is a good indicator of how sharp and clear a screen will be, the higher the figure, the better the clarity and detail on the screen (really improtant if you love to browse the internet on your phone).
Most smartphones offer a fast, reliable Internet connection using the 3G/HSPA network.
The latest smartphones have 4G connections that can give you up download speeds that are up to five times faster than traditional 3G, similar to fast home broadband.
Just great if your busy lifestyle means you're constantly on the go.
Different Smartphones have different operating systems which manage all the programs on your mobile.The operating system also provides a platform for developers to make applications (apps), which are small, downloadable programs for your phone, showing anything from where you are on a map to up to date news headlines.
Created by Google, Android is the most widely used operating system and is found on a wide range of Smartphones from popular brands such as Sony, Samsung, HTC, LG, Motorola and more. Android can customise multiple home screens with useful widgets and apps that let you access content and the functions you use most easily, more quickly. You can access email, music, the web and over 370,000 apps via the Android Market store, many of which are free.
Blackberry's operating system lets you personalise your BlackBerry smartphone with games, social networking apps, themes, and personal productivity apps. It features a BBS messaging system that keeps the content of messages private.
Windows 7 OS uses rectangular 'live tiles' on the home screen or start screen. These 'live tiles' are a sort of cross between a widget and an application icon which display live information on the start screen. Plus you get easy access to mobile versions of Microsoft Office favourites like Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
Apple's multi-touch, multi-tasking operating system runs the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. It's really easy to use - you just tap on the screen to open a program, pinch your fingers together to minimise or enlarge an image, or swipe your fingers across the screen to change pages. You can currently download over 500,000 apps from Apple's App store.

Processor or CPU is the brains of a Smartphone. This is a small chip that is built into the phone, it processes and calculates most things within it. The speed of the processor is measured in Mhz or GHz. (1000Mhz = 1Ghz) the higher the Mhz or GHz the faster or more efficient the processor is.
A dual core processor doubles your phone's processing power for quicker multi-tasking, better gaming and improved battery life. For example a dual core 1.2GHz processor has the equivalent of 2 x 1.2 GHz processors. A quad core processor has 4 times the power of a single processor.
PUK Code
If you incorrectly enter your PIN code 3 times in a row, the SIM will lock up and you'll need to enter the PUK code to release it. Please contact your network provider if / when needed. Also if you want to change networks but keep your same number, you will need to ask your current network for your PUK code and give the code to your new Network.
IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity)
International Mobile Equipment Identity is a unique 15-digit number given to every mobile phone. The IMEI can be displayed by dialling *#06# & usually printed inside the phone under the battery. You should keep a note of the number incase you need to report the handset lost or stolen.
Operated by touching the screen rather than conventional buttons and keypad. Allows you to use the handset in much wider variety of ways.
MB is an abbreviation of megabyte, GB is an abbreviation of Gigabyte. This is the size of the phones memory or SD card. 1000MB make up 1GB.

All painting related recipes can be found in:
|Craft > Processing & Materials > Pigments & Imagery
The Painting skill is required to craft custom sketches, which can be applied to some in-game objects.
Images can be uploaded on your account page, and then brought up for crafting in-game through Paint Sketch. Each sketch needs 2 dried hides, as well as 0.05 L of Linseed Oil per colour field, and various amounts of pigments depending on the colours. You also need a high enough Psyche to craft the sketch, determined by the amount of contours (0.5 PSY per contour), so complex images may be impossible for your character to craft.
After crafting the sketch, the objects to use it on need to be crafted with the sketch in your inventory. Make sure it is, because some things, such as a Shield, can be crafted without a sketch, resulting in the generic texture. To apply or reapply a sketch to a Barter Stand, hold the sketch and right-click the ownership sign. The sketch is always consumed.

Local Geology
Jurupa Hills Geology
Rock formations and topography tell a long complex story.; Often the story stretches so far back in time that measurements are expressed in tens to hundreds of millions of years. For this reason geology has been called the science of earth's deep history. The iconic landscape of Southern California, with its steep mountains and broad alluvial valleys, reveals just such a complex, dynamic history.
A short walk up the trail behind the Nature Center takes one to vistas overlooking some of these natural features. On the far side of the San Gabriel Valley, along the northern edges of the cities of San Bernardino and Fontana, runs the San Andreas Fault, perhaps the most famous in the world. Here two great Continental Plates - the Pacific and North American - meet, with each slowly slipping past the other.
To the northeast rise the rugged San Gabriel Mts. with Ontario and Cucamonga Peaks towering over the valley. Relatively young in geologic time, the mountains contain ancient Proterozoic rock – Augen and Mendenhall Gneiss, both dated at well over a billion years.
About 5 - 7 million years ago a block of earth's crust containing this very old rock, along with other igneous and metamorphic rock, began rising along local fault zones to form our present-day San Gabriel Mts. Powered by the same tectonic forces that generate our southland earthquakes today, the area continues to be very active. These young mountains are being thrust up at a rapid rate, and would be much taller if erosion were not paring them down.
The Jurupa Hills, behind the Nature Center, are a product of these same geologic forces. Marble formations in the hills point back to a time when an ancient ocean covered the area. Shallow enough to support coral reefs, evidence of geological deposition also indicates that regional mountains were eroding into this same region.
As part of this coral reef sank sediment flowed in upon it. Over time the weight of the sediment transformed the calcium formations of the reef into limestone. As more pressure came to bear on the limestone it metamorphosed into marble, a low-grade metamorphic rock. About the same time as the marble was being formed, magma rose from beneath it to form the granitic rock we find in the hills today.
A World Famous Mineral Locale
As this granitic magma intruded into the calcium-rich limestone deposits it created an environment rich in the formation of certain minerals. Approximately 200 minerals, prized by collectors and studied by scientists, have been collected from the Crestmore Quarries.
Rock from Jurupa Hills quarries has also been used in more functional ways – as material to build the Long Beach and San Pedro breakwaters during the first half of the 20th Century.
A Levitating Rock
When Michael Heizer, the artist behind the Los Angeles Museum of Art's (LACMA) Levitated Mass exhibit, discovered a 340 ton boulder in Riverside County's Jurupa Hills that he wanted to use for his sculpture at LACMA, transporting the megalith from its location to Los Angeles became a national event. In June of 2012 it took eleven days for the 206-wheel trailer cradling the granitic monolith to creep along a carefully planned route to the campus at LACMA. Sightseers and camera crews lined the route, and international media monitored the progress. At one time, before our inland valley became a sea of development, the area was home to a system of low-lying sand dunes. These Delhi Sands had been created over time by Santa Ana winds blowing down through the Cajon Pass, picking up bits of geological material and dropping it at the foot of the hills. At one time this system stretched many miles through what is now Loma Linda, Colton, and Fontana.
A Sand-Loving Endangered Species
One of the local natural residents adapted to life in this unique landscape. Indeed the Delhi Sands Flower-Loving Fly adapted so exclusively to this dune environment that extensive development in the area has imperiled the future of the species. Local populations are currently estimated to be in the hundreds.
Hovering like a hummingbird the fly has a long proboscis to feed on the nectar of native flowering plants growing in the dunes. The adult female lays its eggs in the sand. Larvae develop underground. The endangered Delhi Sands Flower-Loving Fly is a classic example of the degree to which natural organisms are intimately attached and in tune with their geological or natural foundation.

Question: Jet Black is an international conglomerate with a petroleum division
Jet Black is an international conglomerate with a petroleum division and is currently competing in an auction to win the right to drill for crude oil on a large piece of land in one year. The current market price of crude oil is $93 per barrel, and the land is believed to contain 435,000 barrels of oil. If found the oil would cost $75 million to extract. Treasury bills that mature in one year yield a continuously compounded interest rate of 4 percent, and the standard deviation of the returns on the price of crude oil is 50 percent. Use the Black–Scholes model to calculate the maximum bid that the company should be willing to make at the auction.

Question: What are some of the ways you could use secondary
What are some of the ways you could use secondary research to better understand the various segments of your market and to develop promotional materials?
View Solution:
View Solution:
Answer to relevant QuestionsCreate a questionnaire that could be used to gather data for your carwash? Use both closed- and open-ended questions. Revisit the US census Bureau website (www.census.gov) and list secondary data that might be useful in opening your dry cleaning business. What are the three most important functions (think cash, accounts payable, owners' equity, etc.) that a computerized accounting system should have? Why are they the most important? Why should you, as a business owner care about the distinction between costs and expenses? Why do you have to give up more ownership to get outside investment if your business is risky?

How to close a formAsked by Kim Roesing on June 16, 2011 at 06:29 AM
I would like to close my form soon, probably next week, so that no more entries can be placed, the event is soon and I have to start organizing the volunteers so I don't want to keep receiving entries. 1) how do I do that? 2) is it possible to have an announcement placed when they click the link that the form is closed and you need to contact me at the email?
This was a great help to me this year and I am very glad I found it, there are a few things I would love to change but maybe I just couldn't figure it out. I would have love to move some of my fields so they were side by side, but I guess this is an overall issue with online forms.It would just be helpful when printing so it doesn't go on more than one page, I am still a hard copy person that takes the forms to the event.
Thank you for putting this product out there I have recommended it to others.
Hi Kim,
You can disable your form by changing its status. To do this, open the form in the form builder and click the Setup and Embed tab, then click the Preferences button. Then simply set the status to be disabled. I'm afraid that it will just display the following generic message.
"This form has been disabled by the owner.
Try contacting the owner of this form."
However if the form is on a page with your email address then that might solve your problem.
It is possible to move the fields around as you like, but you would need to use quite a bit of CSS code. If you are still interested, have a look at the following link:
and let me know if you need any help with it.

This thread is quite outdated and is way back 2011, so I went ahead and opened a separate thread for you. This will help us discuss your concern better, please refer to this link instead: http://www.jotform.com/answers/714140. We will address it shortly.
Thank you.

I'm thinking of trying to decorate a cake in a girlie theme - high heeled shoe on top, and makeup on the sides/cakeboard. I know there was a photo here at one time that I thought I saved, but it's not in my file of pictures. Does anyone know of the link for it?
Also, is there a free high heel shoe template on the message board? thanks in advance...........Kay
I know that there are several on here but the only one I can remember a name to is madgeowens. She made a "girlie" cake like this for her granddaughter. Maybe that can help you.
I just made a cake like that last week. It was lots of fun. It's my 2nd photo.
As for the shoe, this is the tutorial I used.
and here is the pattern (second on the Most Viewed list):

His curly black hair swinging wildly over his pale skin, he stood and stared at his foe with determined blue eyes. His crimson armor seemed to state exactly what he was about to do to his enemy. Pete drew his sword and pointed it at the one he hated, his arms shaking from excitement and nervousness. He took a deep breath. "I am here to defeat you once and for all, Andolf," Pete stated.
The foe just laughed, making his long, greasy white hair swing from side to side. He looked at the 16-year-old boy through his long bangs, amused. So he made it this far?
Andolf stood up from his throne with a grunt, and studied Pete with red eyes. Hah. So this brat wanted to kill him, eh? Well, let him have it. Certainly, the one on top will always be me. Me, and only me.
"You think you can beat me, don't you?" Andolf asked the boy in a raspy voice, smoothing down his black robe. It stood out greatly against his yellowish-white skin. "Well, let's see you try. What was your name again, Pete? Come on. Just keep in mind; I won't be easy on you…"
Andolf snapped his fingers and a huge golden sword appeared in his hand, certainly stronger than Pete's. He grinned as the boy bit his lower lip to blood, yet did not retreat. Just as Andolf was about to lunge at him, he spotted someone behind the brat. His ally?
"Who're you?" he barked at the person, which made Pete realize there was someone behind him. Slowly, he turned around and stared. What he saw surprised him a great deal…
A very boyish girl around 14 sat cross legged behind him, staring curiously back at the two men through blonde bangs. Her hair was grimy and cut very short, and her clothes themselves where completely black – she wore only a long-sleeved shirt and pants. Her feet where bare and dirty, with yellow, overly-long and crooked toe nails. Her eyes where brown and childish, but seemed as if they knew everything that was going on. But that was not what surprised both Andolf and Pete. What surprised them most was… that she was sitting on air. She was hovering a couple of feet in the air.
"I said, who're you?" Andolf barked again, a bit more impatient this time.
"Oh, me?" The girl smiled innocently at Andolf. "Don't mind me, boy. I just came to watch. But if you're so curious.." she studied Andolf's unhappy face, "I'm Mico. Now just, go on. I won't interrupt in any way."
She flew a few more yards into the air, and stared at the two men from above. When she realized they weren't going to fight anymore and just stared at her, she sighed and shook her head.
"Which side are you on, mine or his?" Andolf bellowed at Mico, pointing his sword at her. When she didn't answer, Pete stepped in. "Are you the evil or the good?" He cried.
Mico let out a laugh. "Neither," she replied and then disappeared.
Before the two guys understood what was going on, Mico appeared behind Pete and wrapped her arm around his chest. He flinched.
"No, I am not evil," she stated, drawing a thin zigzag line across his chest with her fingernail, "But I am not on your side…" He noticed that they were about an inch long, and they were also yellow and crooked, just like her toe-nails. Mico disappeared again, and reappeared behind Andolf, now with her fingernail to his throat.
"I am not your alley either, you know…" She said, slowly tiptoeing her nails higher up his neck. "You see, I am neutral. I'm just here to see you guys fight, and witness who will win. The one who loses will always die, and I will make sure of that," she stopped on Andolf's Adam's apple with her fingernails, making him gulp. Then, she disappeared again.
This time, she reappeared on Andolf's throne, in a position of a king. "Go on, now. Fight. If you won't fight, that's fine by me – I'll just leave and then come back again when you decide to brawl. Go on."
The two men glared at Mico for awhile, as she made a crown appear out of thin air and put it on her head – it was too big and slid down to cower her eyes.
Finally, Andolf threw down his sword with a clatter. "I won't fight," he declared, startling both Mico and Pete. He continued to glare at the weird girl as she lifted the crown from her eyes to stare at Pete.
After a while of hesitation, Pete threw his sword on top of Andolf's. "I won't fight either," he told Mico, crossing his arms in front of his chest. Andolf snorted.
Mico grinned, and then stood up. Taking off the too-big crown, she said, "Very well – so be it. But can I really guarantee that you don't want to fight just because I'm here? Maybe you'll start fighting as soon as I leave. Hmm…" She twirled the crown on her fore-finger, making a fake thoughtful expression. "Oh! I know!" She grinned and put the crown back on her head. Then, she clapped her hands and both swords disappeared. The confused Pete bent down to touch the place where they have been, but he could feel nothing.
Mico laughed and the crown disappeared. She jumped up and crossed her legs again in a sitting position, hovering higher and higher. "Well, good bye, cuties. Just remember: I am the bridge between this world and the spirit world, and I know this better than anyone: No evil or good exists. For example, Andolf. He invaded this country to get revenge on the people who killed his family when they did nothing wrong. He grew up, gained power, and destroyed the army, thinking he made justice. In your eyes, Pete, he is evil. In his eyes, he is the good. Remember this. Anyway, you aren't going to fight, so I might as well just go."
She blew them an air kiss and disappeared, leaving only black smoke behind…
Pete stared at Andolf, who clenched his teeth. The kid never knew that the point why the man attacked his country was because his family was killed by the good-for-nothing soldiers. Instantly, he felt bad for the guy. "Umm…" he tried to say something, but Andolf just turned around and stabbed Pete with a horrifying glare.
"Get out of my sight," he told Pete in a thundering voice, making the kid take a step back. Andolf didn't like his truth being revealed, much less his enemy feeling sorry for him. He scowled when he saw that the brat wasn't about to go.
"I said OUT!" Andolf grabbed the boy by the neck and threw him at a wall. Pete scrambled up and ran out of the room, his back aching from the hit. He knew he couldn't risk his life there without a sword. Still, as he got on his black horse, Jewel, and was about to ride away, he looked back. He was sure that he wouldn't need to go back to Andolf's castle ever again. He was positive that the man wouldn't attack his country since today.
As he rode back home, he thought about what Mico said. No evil or good exists… If that was true, than was he…evil?
A wonder...A wonder indeed.
