John Lucas' Hard Work Finally Paying Off
John Lucas III is the epitome of a journeyman. He began his college career at Baylor University were he played for two seasons and then transferred to Oklahoma State University. After two years at OSU he went undrafted and signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2005, only to be waived three weeks later. He spent his first two NBA seasons on the Houston Rockets' bench and in 2007 headed overseas to play basketball.
Lucas played in China, Italy and then returned to the States where he spent time in the D-League before being picked up by the Chicago Bulls late last season. Now, because of a shoulder injury to C.J. Watson, Lucas is getting his chance to prove he can play at the highest level and that his hard work over the years is starting to pay off.
"This is a game I love," Lucas told HOOPSWORLD. "When you love something you stay focused throughout, when there are good times and bad times because you never know. With me, I'm always in practice, I'm always watching film, always doing my daily routine like I'm in game shape. When I go out there, when I practice I don't practice half-ass, I go out there and practice 100% like I'm a starter or I'm a backup. Just in case."
Always the team player, Lucas has trouble thinking about anything other than the team being at full strength.
"I hope C.J. gets healthy. He's like a brother to me; he's like a brother to our team. Our team is really family-oriented and that's what we preach and that's what we live by."
When Lucas does get in the game though, he plans on staying true to himself.
"Just go out and play my game. Don't change who I am, just go out and play the way I've played my entire life. Running the ball up the court and do exactly as Thibs (head coach Tom Thibodeau) wants me to do and what the team calls for me to do. Just go out there and give them positive minutes, low turnovers, hit open shots, get everybody involved, and run the offense like we do in practice."
Practicing everyday with last year's league MVP, Derrick Rose, is also paying off. Being undersized – Lucas is only 5'11'' -and having gone undrafted Lucas has always played with chip on his shoulder, but playing with Rose has helped him gain perspective on his basketball career.
"I was always an energetic person with a lot of energy, I always had a chip on my shoulder when I played so I never enjoyed the game, I felt like I always had to prove a point. And just watching how poised Rose is, how he doesn't get rattled how he lets the game come to him, he doesn't go to the game, he let's the game come to him. He's not forcing anything and that's some stuff I've picked up on."
Lucas then admitted, "That's stuff I should have learned when I was 22, 23."
One would think this is a dangerous time for the Bulls having to rely on journeyman who is yet to make his mark in the NBA, but Rose believes otherwise. Rose believes Lucas has put in the work and is ready for his shot in the rotation.
"He's somebody that puts in the work, definitely a professional and I think it's time for him," Rose said. "I think he's going to step up to the plate and play well. He has a lot of confidence knowing that his teammates are behind him."
With Rose on his side and Watson likely out for a few more games, this is Lucas' best opportunity to play himself into the rotation permanently. Also, with a new Collective Bargaining Agreement that will make high-priced backups a luxury most teams can't afford, a good showing by Lucas and he could find himself as a desirable free agent this offseason.
"When opportunities come like this, you do what you can and give it all you got," Lucas concluded.
There is little doubt this is a big moment for Lucas, and what he does over the next several games could affect the rest of his NBA career.

text: Home Culture Why the DEA Needs Ebonics Translators Imagine a little old white lady in Boise transcribing a wiretapped conversation from The Wire. Knowmsayin'? By: John McWhorter Posted: Aug. 25 2010 3:44 PM 0 For all the talk about what a subtle business the n-word is, the concept of Ebonics is just as tricky. And in the wake of the theatrically pat culmination of the Dr. Laura drama -- her exiting stage right -- here we are grappling with the Drug Enforcement Administration sending out a call for Ebonics translators. And as usual when Ebonics is proposed as something other than ghetto slang, the media are alight with people, black and white, ridiculing the notion of Ebonics as "a language." It's an odd thing: On the one hand, as recently as January the same people were bristling at Harry Reid's implication that black people harbor a "Negro dialect." And yet this week, said same are swooning over Spike Lee's latest documentary on post-Katrina New Orleans, replete with black people who sound off in fluent "Negro dialect" being readily embraced as bards of the race. There is a DuBoisian double consciousness regarding Ebonics, then, and in this DEA case, what DuBois would have termed the "African" sentiment -- warm, in-group, proprietary -- is most useful. Namely, the DEA might be on to something. Understanding this first requires getting past the idea that black English -- a term I will use, since "Ebonics" sounds more like a disease -- is just a fig-leaf locution for broken English. It is actually different English. You wouldn't know it, though, from how often even specialists eagerly describe it as just leaving off consonants and the verb "to be" and then wonder why America continues to think of it as broken language. But there's much more to it than that. "Folks be talkin," someone says. That does not mean that people are talking right now -- it means that people talk on a regular basis, as in, "Folks be talkin whenever somethin like dat happens." That usage of be is a very particular piece of grammar, expressing a nuance that standard English leaves to context. Black English is a seemingly still water that runs deep. Another one: Take a black-English sentence like, "I'm-a call his ass at two in the morning!" There have been two lengthy articles in the flagship academic linguistics journal Language on that usage -- yes, usage -- that reveal that how that rendition of ass in black English is as complex as knowing when to use the subjunctive in French. So black English is not broken but different. OK -- but even if it is coherent, is it different enough from standard English to necessitate a translator? But that is plainly not true. The line between language and dialect is fuzzy. Portuguese and Spanish are definitely distinct languages, but Portuguese speakers can comprehend quite a bit of Spanish, and it can be hard for an American to keep the two separate in their mouths (although the Spanish have a harder time parsing Portuguese). Swedish and Danish are even closer. They are called languages, but their speakers can converse: To a Dane, Swedish is something to adjust to rather than to learn from the ground up. Black English and standard English are even closer still -- not the same, but almost. During the Oakland, Calif., school-board controversy, I argued that the mini-gap between standard and black English could not be what was holding black kids back in school. The answer to the question "Is black English a language?" is "Yes -- it's English." Yet, this DEA proposal is different: The agency is seeking people who can help translate recordings of black people speaking casually. It is faced with live speech rather than words tidy on a page. And casual speech, among all of us, is messy. Imagine a Martian trying to learn English and hearing us say things like "Tsgo!" for "Let's go" and "Shoulda" for "Should have."

Lady Gaga's arrival in Manila last Friday was met by adoring fans and enraged protesters alike. Even celebrities have different takes on whether the concert should push through. Some suggested changing the lyrics of her songs while others believe we should simply respect every one's opinion.
Photo: www.ladygaganow.netLady Gaga's arrival in Manila was met with protests by religious groups claiming that the American pop superstar is corrupting the moral values of the public.
She arrived last Friday, May 18, and will be the first to perform at the newly-constructed Mall of Asia Arena tonight, May 21, and tomorrow, May 22, as part of her Born This Way Ball tour.
OPPOSITION. Just last week, Lady Gaga's sold-out concert in Indonesia set for June 3 was cancelled as authorities gave in to pressure by Islamic hardliners— who, according Fox News, are criticizing the artist for the "suggestive nature of her shows."
Meanwhile, her concert in South Korea last April 27 at the Seoul's Olympic Stadium was restricted for 18 years old and above.
In Manila, Filipino Christian groups rallied in front of Pasay City Hall last Friday, May 18, bearing anti-Lady Gaga shirts and chanting, "Stop Lady Gaga Concert."
According to Representative Benny Abante, who leads one of the Christian groups involved in the protest, they sent a letter to Pasay City Mayor Antonio Calixto seeking for the cancellation of the concert's permit.
They believe that Lady Gaga's songs are blasphemous to the Christian faith, citing the song "Judas" as a mockery to Jesus Christ.
He stated, "We will pray against it and do everything we can to oppose it on all fronts."
This was also backed up by former Manila Mayor Lito Atienza and election lawyer Atty. Romulo Macalintal who both signed the letter of concern addressed to the Pasay city mayor.
They warned the organizers that a penalty of six months to six years may be served if the show is proven to be offensive to any race or religion, according to Article 201 of the Revised Penal Code.
In response, Mayor Calixto ordered the organizers to ensure that no nudity or lewd acts will be exhibited during the concert.
He also formed an eight-man inspection team to observe the show and report any offense .
Sorsogon Bishop Arturo Bastes, a member of the Permanent Council of the Catholic Bishop's Conference of the Philippines, urged the members of the Catholic Church to boycott the concert.
"Christians must exercise self-censorship to avoid shows that are harmful to their faith," he said.
LITTLE MONSTERS. Despite protests, Lady Gaga's fans called "little monsters" welcomed their "mother monster" last Friday with much adulation.

African Americans set aside February as the month to take pages of history books and bring it to life. Time is taken to remember, to reunite, and to rededicate themselves to African American history. During Black History Month, the memory of African-Americans like Dr. Martin Luther King are honored, as well as acknowledging and celebrating current history makers like President Barak Obama.
Has Black History Month outlived its usefulness, considering the election of an African-American to the presidency? Many feel that African-American history should be incorporated into year-round education. Now, claims that Black History Month is outdated are gaining a new potency, as schools diversify their curricula and President Barack Obama's election opens a new chapter in the nation's racial journey. What do you think?

Aphids are very common sap-sucking insect pests that cause distorted growth and excrete a sticky substance (honeydew) on foliage, which allows the growth of sooty moulds. Some aphids transmit viruses, this is a particular problem on strawberries, raspberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, dahlias, tulips and sweet peas.
Aphids are sap-sucking insect pests, ranging in size from 1-7mm (¼in or less) long. Aphids are also known as greenfly and blackfly, but other types may be yellow, pink, white or mottled. Some species, like woolly beech aphid and woolly aphid on apple, cover themselves with a fluffy white waxy secretion. These should not be confused with scale insects, mealybug or whitefly. Most aphids feed on foliage, stems and flowers but some suck sap from the roots.
There are more than 500 aphid species in Britain. Some species will only attack one or two plant species, but others will attack a wide range of plant hosts. Almost all plants are affected, including ornamental plants, vegetables and fruits, greenhouse plants and houseplants.
You may see the following symptoms:
Aphids secrete honeydew on foliage, stems and fruits, which attracts the growth of sooty moulds. Here you can also see white cast aphid skins.
Aphids have many natural enemies, including ladybirds, hoverfly larvae, lacewing larvae and several parasitic wasps. Some of these are available for biological control of aphids in greenhouses (aphid predators). Unfortunately, damaging aphid infestations often build up on garden plants before the natural enemies are active in sufficient numbers to achieve control. Use your finger and thumb to squash infestations on small plants.
During the growing season there are many insecticides that give varying degrees of control:
Even with systemic insecticides, it is only feasible to control aphids on plants that are small enough to be sprayed thoroughly. Aphid infestations on tall trees have to be tolerated.
Overwintering eggs on dormant deciduous fruit trees and bushes can be treated with a plant oil winter wash (Growing Success Winter Tree Wash or Vitax Winter Tree Wash).
Pesticides for gardeners (Adobe Acrobat pdf document outlining pesticides available to gardeners)
For much of the year, aphid colonies consist of wingless females that give birth to live young. Winged forms develop when overcrowding or deterioration in the host plant induces a need to move to another plant. Most aphid species overwinter as eggs but some can remain as active aphids, particularly in mild winters or on indoor plants.
Many aphids, especially those on fruits and vegetables, go through an annual cycle that involves two different host plants. The plant on which overwintering eggs are laid is usually a tree or shrub. In the spring, the eggs hatch and the aphids feed on the young foliage. By early summer, the foliage has grown older and tougher, inducing winged forms of the aphid that migrate to the summer host plant. This is usually a non-woody plant with soft, succulent foliage. Some aphids, however, spend the whole year on one type of plant, although they may be active for only part of the year.
Some aphids can transmit plant virus diseases when they move from one plant to another. This is a particular problem on soft fruits, such as strawberry and raspberry, and some vegetables such as tomatoes and plants of the cucumber/marrow family, and on some ornamental plants, such as dahlias, lilies, pelargoniums, tulips and sweet peas. Virus-affected plants should be destroyed to prevent the disease being spread to other plants.

Shanghai Terrace
Online Reservations
Peking duck is a favorite of ours and we have tried it in many places across the globe. Shanghai Terrace prepares a Peking duck that rivals all. In addition, the wait staff are top notch. This restaurant is located in the elegant Peninsula Hotel so the ambiance is wonderful. There is terrace dining as well as inside dining. A must for anyone visiting Chicago who enjoys gourmet Chinese cuisine.
I read about the Shanghi Terrace online in a Conde Nast reveiw. It was named one of the top 10 rooftop bars in the world. Since I was visitng Chicago for a conference, I decided to check it out. I was more than pleasantly surprised when I found there was a restaurant on the rooftop as well. The food, service, ambience, you name it, was excellent, excellent, excellent. I cannot say enough good things about my experience. I would and have recommended this restaurant to anyone who wants extraordinary Chinese cuisine.
Thanks to the staff at Shanghai Terrace for making our special occasion a lovely one. The atmosphere on the terrace is an urban escape above the city with lively conversations and an energetic feel. The trendy scene can only be topped by the amazing menu. The Stuffed Chinese Fritter with Yam was a delicious dish I couldn't stop eating. Paired with a bottle of wine and a perfect companion this is an evening to remember. My date and I both look forward to future visits to Shanghai Terrace.
delicious food and ambience on the terrace is super. I would skip the desserts however..
The Shanghai Terrace outdoor patio provides a very pleasant venue to enjoy their excellent menu. We began with the generous delicious shrimp rolls. I enjoyed the crispy nest of seafood while my husband said his duck was extremely tasty as well as tender. The terrace is sufficiently covered so that it probably can still be enjoyed in marginal outdoor dining weather.
Terrific food, decor and service. And you can hear yourself think.
Great gluten free Chinese food is tough to find. Shanghai Terrace excelled. Service was as good as the food. The one less than positive note was dining on the terrace was disappointing mainly due to a large event that was being held several feet away shielded by only a few potted plants. The noise and crowds were distracting. We should have opted for inside dining.
The drivers were very attentive and polite. Catered to all my food specifications.
The place, the food and the service all are great!!
I took a friend to the restaurant and the food and service were absolutely outstanding. Turnip cakes are one of my favorites and they do them better than anyone else. I love the dim sum style at lunch. We also had vegetable rolls and shrimp & chive potstickers. Both were beautifully prepared. The kung pao chicken is so flavorful and perfect with rice. The food is not over salted or greasy like you find in many Asian restaurants. The restaurant is beautiful and sitting on the outside is a particularly nice way to dine.
Thank you for the wonderful evening...this is the 2nd time on the terrace and the second time it or part of it was closed for a sepecial event....they say 3 is a charm....I'll be back!
Located right over Michigan Ave and the ambiance is amazing! I took my parents and my sister for brunch to try something else other than Chinatown. The food tasted a little bland and could use a bit more flavor. There are cheaper Chinatown restaurants that tastes a lot yummier than here. If the food had a bit more pop, I would have given the food full marks. The deserts however were crafted beautifully and the flavors complemented each other well. I should had only the deserts. Service is what I would consider a full service and receives full favor from me. Every whim was taken with a smile and was delighted to explain anything and everything on the menu, also being consider of dietary restrictions. Great for special occasions.
Came here with my fiance and we were blown away by the food and service. The view was incredible as well. I look forward to coming back here again.
The food and drinks were outstanding. What really sets the restaurant apart from the rest is the service. Our waiter, Max, was superb. He thought outside the box for entree choices, convinced us to try new things, entertained us throughout the meal. Never did we want for anything, made us feel special. There were four of us and we all left feeling great and wanting to come back. We are foodies and have eaten all over the city. This is the first restaurant that we all agree we are going back to. Food and drinks are imaginative and complex. Atmosphere is relaxed yet sophisticated, festive, but we could all talk to each other without shouting. Recommend highly!
In almost every way it was a wonderful dining experience BUT the music destroyed the ambience. It was so loud with a strong bomb, bomb, bomb that was simply awful. We complained and our waiter agreed and tried to get the manager to correct the situation. Part of the terrace is used as the outdoor bar so I think they might feel it necessary to have some music but it ruins the fine dining experience
Outstanding upscale Chinese food, gracious service, beautiful ambience - especially outdoor seating on a pleasant day or evening
the food is fantastic, from the array of dim sum offerings to the sumptious and spicy crispy duck, but the outdoor patio, with it's subtle lighting and luscious plants, completes the experience. The service is impeccable, where the staff is attentive yet unobtrusive.
Fantastic service, wonderful food, and the atmosphere could not have been any more romantic. Phenomenal way to start of a beautiful Chicago evening.
Great food but very casual service for a restaurant of this calibre. Insisted we order quickly because The kitchen was backed up and then proceeded to bring the appetizers And entrees pretty much together. Wasn't happy about that.
I took my wife to Shanghai Terrace for dinner on our 5th wedding anniversary. The staff was very attentive and sat us outdoors. The interior is a classy, old world style Chinese restaurant with high notes of red. Outside are tables, couches and canopies all with notes of red and red lights shooting skyward. The rooftop you see the John Hancock Tower, Allerton Hotel, and you are a in bowl of skyline downtown opulent oasis. The atmosphere is very scenic and romantic. The outside seating was spacious. You were not on top of other people to hear every word of their conversations. It was quiet, probably one of the most quiet dining experiences I have every had. Food was great, fresh, and hot. Price $100. Worth it for wowing my wife.
Shanghai Terrace has amazing food and never disappoints. It's a great spot to go and share a few appetizers and entrees. The food is wonderful and always prepared perfect. The staff is also wonderful, very kind and helpful. It's a nice dining experience. You never feel rushed to move through your meal.
We really enjoy the Shanghai Terrace. The food is great, sitting on the patio on a warm summer night is special. The service this time was a little slow at first, but it picked up. By the end of the evening we were very pleased.
This is my second time there. First time ate outside. Second time inside. Only complaint was air conditioning vent was strong over table
We were disappointed in the green lip mussels which were tough and too large
We celebrated a friend's birthday and the whole evening was delightful, the elegant terrace filled with lovely tropical plants and flowers, the courteous staff and the fabulous food all made for a great celebration!
Loved everything about this restaurant. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious. It was beautifully decorated and had a great ambiance. Would definitely go back to Chicago and visit this restaurant again.
Best Chinese food in the USA Most chinese restaurants serve oily, greasy and salty chinese food. Shanghai terrace serves delicious and yet very healthy food. Chef is very innovative and can create a dish for you according to yourspecial dietary needs also as a two of our guests were vegan. Highly recommended
We had a birthday celebration here and sat outside on the terrace . It was a magnificent evening with extraordinary food, attentive service and a beautiful exotic setting on the terrace .
You can always count on Shanghi Terrace for an impeccable experience!!
This is an absolute gem. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates good service. The entire waitstaff works together as a team and seems to have your satisfaction as their main goal. The service was absolutely impeccable. As for the food, superb. From the appetizers to the dessert to the complimentary post meal snack, this place is an absolute win in my book. I cannot give enough kind words about this place!
The service is very good and the food is prepared with attention. We had a good experience in a quite evening. The Peninsula Hotel is always great so the setting is perfect for a great evening in town. After dinner head to the Peninsula Bar which has a nice atmosphere.
This is what gourmet Chinese food is all about. Incredibly delicious and delicate with amazing flavors. And the service is top notch, which is what you would expect from a restaurant connected to the Peninsula Hotel.
My husband and I had an amazing time at Shanghai Terrace. From the moment we walked in they made us feel special and important even though it was a regular Sunday night. Best shrimp egg rolls and crab wontons we've ever had!
Outstanding food, very well prepared. Sit outside on the terrace if the weather is good. Just about as nice as it gets in Chicago!
The food is always perfect. This is Chinese Haute Cuisine and it is truly a great place. Snuggled into the Peninsula and with the eponymous terrace, it is beautiful inside and out. Word to the wise, these are not Chinese diner prices. The menu is extensive and the ingredients and preparation are top of the art of Chinese cooking,
The best Chinese-cantonese restaurant in town. The dim sums are magnificent! You can't miss the three course duck, it is a delight! We had dinner to celebrate our Chicago marathon finish and it was worth every penny. The service is impeccable.
The menu is excellent, so many unusual choices, even for gluten free diet. Guaranteed to delight the umami taste buds.
My husband and I were staying at the Penninsula and decided to dine in the hotel the first night. Upscale Chinese food sounded interesting, and Shanghai Terrace had received good reviews. It was the right choice! The restaurant was lovely, the menu offerings were unique and interesting, and every dish we selected was terrific. Our favorite was the appetizer of plump, perfectly cooked prawns on cucumber rounds. We also had a Kung Pao chicken like we'd never had before, a vegetable medley, and a scallop entree. We shared all the dishes and loved each one. Even my glass of wine was memorably good. Yes, it was certainly more expensive than a typical Chinese meal, but it was well worth the price and our 5-star recommendation.
I frequent Shanghai Terrace and the food and service always exceeds my expectations. Yuki, the restaurant manager, is a true professional who ensures that my guests and I have a great dining experience. I cannot recommend Shanghai Terrace more highly.
We went for my birthday and took our two year old. It was a little more quiet than your typical family restaurant however my child behaved - thank goodness! When by child raised her voice it was heard throughout. We went on a Monday evening so there wasn't too many people which made it easier to hear a two year old. Overall service and food were great!
You can find great Chinese food for alot less money but if ambiance and service are important this is the place to step up to fine dining. We went on a cold fall day so the terrace aspect was only what you can see through the window but the indoor part of the room is beautiful. The level of service was the equal to and fine dining French temple of dining. The variety of food was the typical offering of local Cantonese places but with a few unique special dishes and a non-typical all day selection of Dim-Sum. We had a great time.
What a great treat to dine at Shanghai Terrace. Fall has set in so no outdoor terrace. But inside was cozy with terrific smells all around. The food and service were impeccable. The Kung Pao shrimp were the best of our wide sampling (but everything was excellent). Need to come back soon....
Ate at Shanghai Terrace for a special occasion (35th wedding anniversary). Everything about it was outstanding. The Wok-Seared Lobster and Kung Pao Prawns were excellent, as were the Spring Rolls and Lobster Hot and Sour Soup. The service was attentive but not intrusive, and very professional. The restaurant itself is beautiful. We will return when we visit Chicago again.
We have eaten here before and have enjoyed it each time. This time however, was a little less enjoyable. The Peking Duck, which we typically have there, was a little different and served differently and not as enjoyable as before.
The food at Shanghai Terrace is probably the best chinese food in Chicago,although very expensive it is definitely worth it.The unusual setting does remind you of a pre world war 2 supper club in Shanghai.The service is also remarkable and also a reminder of the Pennisula hotels legendary reputation as one of the great hotels of the world.
Truly great service... They kept an eye on you the whole time so the minute it seemed you needed anything they were there. They took your coats/bags, offered to call the valet for your car before you left the restaurant, etc. Absolutely LOVED the atmosphere...quiet with nice music....almost zen/spa like. Food was good but atmosphere/service was really what would bring us back. We had a 5pm reservation so we were the only ones there, which we loved. Definitely pricey & I'm not a Chinese food expert so it's hard to say if this was the best Chinese you'll ever have but we did enjoy the food. Overall I'd definitely give the entire experience an A+.
Beautiful setting, marvelous Asian food elegantly presented. The server was very helpful in advising us on ordering food for sharing. We enjoyed a leisurely meal and were not rushed..
Have eaten here many times. Beautifully prepared and presented Chinese food. Attentive waitstaff but on this occasion a bit tentative. In the summer the outside terrace is a wonderful place to eat. On this occasion it was an ice-skating rink.
My wife and I went to Chicago for the Thankgiving weekend and experinced the best Chineese food in Chicago!!! The Service was spot on and everything we ordered was simply quite tasty. We will return when go back to Chicago.
A local favorite of ours in the Peninsula Hotel. Hands down, second to none, the best Chines food in the city. THe crispy duck melts in your mouth and the prawns are amazing. Served beautifully and elegantly by a very well trained and professional staff. EXCELLENT!!!!

Daily Horoscope for December 12
You're normally pretty canny but today you're wearing rose-tinted glasses that prevent you seeing what's really going on. There probably isn't much harm in this if your vision is only temporarily obscured, but you could be heading for problems if you persist in taking an unduly idealistic view of the situation. It's especially important to be realistic if someone's health is involved.

I'll try to outline this quickly.
Two equal, 50/50, partners - one is building/creating the product, running all operations, etc…the other is footing the bills and will be doing the sales.
At the beginning the partners agreed that the partner creating the product would garner the first $100K of product sales before the second partner drew a salary. This is because the first partner, the builder of the product, worked on this full-time - usually 80 hours a week, for a year, while the second partner invested about $10K per year.
Now, that's not to say if we received orders for $25K per month, for a year, we'd obviously just split it at that point. But, if orders came in, for the first years at a rate of $5-10K per month, this money would go to the first partner as payback for his 4000 hours of product development.
Now the second partner - who at this point, now that the product is ready to deliver and reviews are excellent, is little more than an investor - is demanding that everything be split 50/50 from the very first check we get. Which goes against his written agreement.
Any advice???

Cub engine missingThought I would plow the garden after work. On the second furrow, engine begins to miss and now is not running on all cylinders. I pulled the plugs and cleaned them and put them back in. It ran on all four until I lifted the plow and then it started to miss again. I have had my Cub for quite a few years now and have never had a problem with missing until now. Any ideas?
Re: Cub engine missingDuane, are you sure it's the plugs and not starving for fuel? You may have dirt in the main metering jet. Remove the jet and thoroughly clean the small hole inside using a soft thin wire such as copper. You may also want to give the jet a shot of carb cleaner through the hole. You could also have crud in your tank limiting fuel flow. While the jet is out open the fuel all the way. You should get a good steady flow from the carb.
Sea salt is healthier only because it gets stuck in the holes of the shaker and you can't actually put it on your food.

Re: Cub engine missingDuane:
to what Bill said. After that, it might be a good idea to pour half a can of SeaFoam into a full tank of gas and the rest into the crankcase. Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Re: Cub engine missingi have to start drinking my coffee BEFORE i get on here in the morning , the title made me think that a SERIOUS problem with cub engines had come to light . coppersmythe..................................................
Re: Cub engine missingIf the engine is missing and not surging - - - there is a difference.
Surging = fuel related. Missing/skipping = ignition related problem. Probably condenser or coil breaking down. Suggest a complete engine tune up, including cleaning the carburetor main jet previously discussed. I have an excuse. CRS.

It's a brand new week! And that also means a brand new custom Spy figure to celebrate Spy vs. Spy's 50th anniversary! Today, we're keeping the party going with this delightful design from the legendary Al Jaffee!
We recently learned that fans of TheIdiotical.com were unable to register in order to leave a comment! To put it simply, an incorrect Veeblefetzer setting was triggering an overload of the Potrzebie cache, causing a major malfunction in the operation of the Max Korn filter. This caused some commenters to be redirected to Etsy.com, where they were improperly billed for a woolen tea cozy, while others found themselves newly enlisted in the Estonian military. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. But it's all fixed!

Another day, another face-slappingly great custom Spy toy! We're ending the week strong with this astonishing custom Spy by Sam Flores, entitled "Dragon Hunter"!

For the 50th Anniversary of Antonio Prohias' legendary feature, Spy vs. Spy, we sent blank Spy figures to a bunch of terrific artists to decorate however they liked. But it wouldn't be a proper tribute to Antonio if it didn't involve his family! His granddaughter Jessica rallied her relatives and worked with sculptor Lisa Barnstone to create "The Prohias Family's Prohias" — an incredible Spy that combines the Spy and Antonio himself — right down to his cigarette, guayabera and drafting table!

THE fall in platinum production from South Africa, the world's largest source of the metal, combined with steady demand means the market will be in balance this year and slide into a deficit next year with the outlook for prices good, platinum players say.
Labour disputes coupled with weak prices, high costs and negative sentiment around the metal, which is used in autocatalysts and jewellery, have resulted in heavy cutbacks in supply from South Africa this year.
Platinum miners have reported disrupted supply or shaft closures or delayed projects because of industrial action or the poor economics of operating mines. Combined, more than 250,000oz of platinum production have been lost so far this year.

Give them room
Movement fits in at the Chicago Cultural Center.
A year ago, when budget cuts cost Cynthia Quick her job as director of program development at the city's Department of Cultural Affairs, many of the dance programs she initiated hit the chopping block. Narrowly escaping was DanceBridge, a grant of rehearsal space in the Chicago Cultural Center to two choreographers at a time for 12-week periods. At the end of their residency, the recipients share a free and informal public presentation that includes discussion and audience response. "Out of fear that the program would disappear," collaborative programs coordinator Leigh Fagin says, "I stepped forward and said that I would take it over." Fagin, along with Eva Silverman and Jan Bartoszek (whose company, Hedwig Dances, has been in residence at the Center since 1992), pressed on and will host DanceBridge's current recipients, Jonathan Meyer and Szewai Lee, in the studio Thursday 10. Attended by a mix of students, Cultural Center regulars and dance fans, these showings bring fresh eyes to the work at a crucial phase in their development and are a key element of the program's success.
The survival of DanceBridge "was never a budgetary issue," Fagin explains, "because it's not really of any cost to the city—we're just giving away empty space." Still, coordination of the application process and scheduling studio time between two projects and Hedwig's regular rehearsals do use man-hours, and with budget cuts "coming left and right," Bartoszek says, "everyone's doing a lot more for a lot less." Fortunately, DanceBridge was kept on the calendar anyway. Fagin and Silverman "really want to give developing artists a chance," Bartoszek says.
The effort has paid off. Julia Rae Antonick, with whom Meyer is continuing development of a duet, got her own three-month stint in the fall of 2007. "I was in a bit of a rut, had no space to rehearse in and no money to rent any. DanceBridge was absolutely pivotal for me," she says. During her stay, she was able to continue work on a long-gestating project that, upon its performance, was seen by someone who donated a large sum of money, allowing Antonick to complete the piece. In a phone call from Bangalore, India, where she's working on a multimedia work she plans to bring to Chicago in the spring, choreographer Archana Kumar explains she had been in the city barely a year when she began her DanceBridge residency this summer. Trying to break into the community, she says she thought, "Maybe if I showcase my art, people will come and we can start talking."
Free space and 12 weeks to focus on your work is, for emerging choreographers with scant resources and part-time jobs, exceedingly rare. Fagin explained that the candidate form is deliberately not as rigorous as, for example, a grant application, because DanceBridge exists for new, innovative and interdisciplinary works-in-progress (two years' experience in publicly presented dance making is the only major prerequisite).
In reflecting upon time spent in the spacious studio—with windows onto Michigan Avenue—DanceBridge recipients talk about the luxury of an environment that's designed to facilitate their needs and doesn't include a mandate to generate a finished piece. Early into the program's existence, Rachel Damon remembers the many hours she and Lyndsae Rinio spent "choreographing, discussing, editing, singing and generally being bizarre. It's always a struggle to get a group of multitasking arts professionals in a room—thankfully, [DanceBridge] removes the necessity of finding the room itself."
Meyer and Lee show and tell at the Chicago Cultural Center Thursday 10.

The Graphite Series 600T makes it easy to build a world-class gaming system. With excellent cooling from the dual 200mm fans, eight PCI-E expansion slots to accommodate multiple graphics cards, and plenty of room for large, power-hungry components, the Graphite Series 600T can handle just about anything you can throw at it.
The Graphite Series 600T is a mid-tower in height, but inside it's positively cavernous. Easily accommodate even the longest graphics cards in the industry due to the reconfigurable hard drive bays.
The increased space behind the motherboard tray allows clean, uncluttered cable routing. Up to six hard drive caddies, each of which can accommodate SSDs and standard mechanical disks, sit below the four 5.25" tool-free optical drive bays.
If that weren't enough, you can remove the top panel 200mm fan and install a 240mm radiator and dual 120mm fans for a quick watercooling upgrade.
Corsair innovated cable routing with the Obsidian Series™ cases, and the Graphite Series features the same ingenious design. Pre-cut holes in the motherboard tray with rubber grommets and plenty of room behind the motherboard to route cables for a clean, uncluttered interior. The optical drive bays are tool-free, the side panels easily detach with the built-in latch mechanisms, and the integrated fan controller allows you to choose between quiet operation or maximum cooling performance.
Graphite Series meet at the intersection of high performance and dramatic design. They provide the expansion and cooling flexibility you need for fast, reliable systems, with smart interior ergonomics and leading edge shapes and forms.
What components would you use to build your Corsair Dream PC? Corsair's Ronaldo Buassali recently visited Infsite A.G. in Brazil to build a Corsair Dream PC. Check out some photos of this awesome PC.
Recently we announced quite a few new products, and updates to current product lines. Some of the most exciting are the new Dominator Platinum DDR3 memory with LED lighting, and the new Graphite Series 600T Silver mid-tower case. What better time to do a system build than when we have two new products that compliment each other so beautifully! We will also be using our brand new Force Series GS SSD with its fast toggle NAND technology, and our recently updated GS800 PSU. While we are at it, I am going to swap out all the stock fans from the 600T with our new Air Series AF120 Quiet Edition fans, and we will be using our SP120 Quiet Edition fans in place of the stock Hydro Series H100 fans. The silver and blue theme turned out great! If you have never built a system before, or you are not familiar with some of our new products from then check out the video below!
I began this build log thinking of it as more of a pure work station. Of course, it has the guts to be an exceptional gaming machine also. So, I thought it would be fun to see how it stacks up against my last gaming build log, Yellowbeard's Revenge.
Yellowbeard's Revenge (below left) was built around an X58 based motherboard using an Intel® Core™ i7 950 CPU, and a Graphite Series™ 600T case. This workstation (below right) is built using a Z68 based motherboard and a Core i7 2600K CPU. Due to the amount of HDs and other factors, I chose the Obsidian Series® 800D case for the workstation.

Already have a case # or wish to check RMA status
The Carbide Series cases come with both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 support. If your motherboard does not have a USB 3.0 header, then you can use the supplied 3.0 to 2.0 USB adapter which comes with the case. Check out the video below showing you how its done:
