Got a question for the forum: Dexter Morgan Versus Sherlock Holmes(Cumberbatch)
Me and my brother were debating this topic and I was wondering, who would win if Sherlock as put on the case to find a rampant serial killer in Miami? Would Dexter be able to out maneuver Sherlock and be able to put him on his table? Or will Sherlock be able to not only catch him in the act but be able to put Dexter away?
I contend that Sherlock would win, and here is why I think he would win.
My thinking would be that Sherlock would be brought into Miami Metro to find a serial killer and immediately realize that Dexter isn't normal, and is probably the killer he was brought in to find. Dexter would also realize that Sherlock has him tagged and Dexter would make efforts to keep under surveillance in his own special way. Sherlock would undeniably break into his apartment and find all the evidence that he need to put Dexter away. Dexter would realize that Sherlock as there and make an effort to kill him as quickly as he can. Dexter would sneak into Sherlock home/apartment/hotel room and give an injection and knock him out. Dexter would have him on his table, and proceed to begin his ritual, stating that while he approves of what Sherlock does and how he does it, he cannot allow Sherlock to interfere with his work. Sherlock would go into his analysis of Dexter, bring up his step father, his brother he killed, his sister who helps him, his former wife who was killer at the hands of a rival killer, etc. Dexter would agree and compliment him on what he was able to find out with little to no effort. As he is able to kill him, Watson would break into the kill room and try and shot Dexter to kill him, only to have his shot graze Dexter because of Debra interference. Dexter would flee, Watson would apprehend Debra and she would be arrested. Dexter would make one final attempt on Sherlock, only to have it backfire and be caught by Sherlock and Watson.
Thats what I got, but I am curious to see what other people would say.

Team Honda Overview
Professional motocross racing may be the original extreme sport, and today the racing action indoors and outdoors brings more thrills and spectator approval than ever before, with a live attendance of nearly one million fans plus a television viewership topping the 18 million mark. Honda has been at the forefront of American Motocross and Supercross action since the beginning, winning its first AMA 250 National Championship in 1973 and amassing an unparalleled race record over the past 40 years. That legacy of winning championships was extended once again in 2010, and that trend looks to roll into 2011 as well.
Trey Canard and Josh Grant, two talented athletes who are proven winners, will compete on Honda's stellar CRF450R in the AMA Supercross and AMA Motocross series, while two-time Women's Motocross Champion Ashley Fiolek returns to the team's starting lineup to contest her third season aboard an American Honda Racing–prepared CRF250R in the Women's Motocross Championship (WMA) and X Games competitions.
"Both Trey and Josh have shown great speed in the 450 competition,'' said Erik Kehoe, Motocross Team Manager. "We know that they are both fully capable of winning a championship, and we look forward to seeing what they can achieve aboard their American Honda Racing–prepared CRF450Rs this season. We're really looking forward to continuing our work with Ashley as she vies for her third WMA title and third X Games gold medal. Ashley's level of commitment and determination has never wavered, and the team is behind her 100 percent in her quest to regain the number one plate in the WMA championship this year."
In last year's AMA 250 Motocross series, young Canard rode to his first-ever outdoor championship, adding to the burgeoning list of accomplishments he quickly accumulated after joining the pro ranks late in the 2007 outdoor season. Also during the 2010 Supercross season, Canard jumped at the opportunity to try his hand on a Team Honda CRF450R in the 450 class while filling in for an injured rider, and that experiment paid off handsomely as he notched five consecutive podium finishes. Such results portend a stellar year in 2011 for the rising star.
Grant returns to his Honda racing roots in 2011 as the second rider on the Team Honda squad. Grant has earned inspired race wins indoors and outdoors in both the 250 and 450 classes and, after being hindered by injuries in 2010 and suffering an injury early in the 2011 Supercross season, will make his return to racing in the 2011 Motocross competition. Watch for Grant to set up camp on podiums all across the nation during the Motocross season.
In addition, Fiolek has her sights firmly set on regaining the WMA title in 2011. Fiolek claimed back-to-back WMA championships in 2008 and 2009 aboard her Honda CRF250R and in 2010 finished the series in the runner-up spot. In 2009, Fiolek made history by becoming the first female to be signed to the American Honda Racing factory team, and she also made her debut in the X Games competition, where she won her first Women's Supercross gold medal. She repeated that performance in 2010 by winning her second consecutive Women's Supercross gold. Tougher and more determined than ever, Fiolek will be hard to beat in 2011.
When Racing Is in Your DNA
The challenging spirit of racing is fundamental to Honda's DNA, and it influences every facet of the company's activity. It fans the flames of passion across every level of Honda, and it's been that way since the very beginning of the Honda Motor Company. The same attention to detail that stands on display in the Team Honda CRF450Rs can be found in everything we do. The words "good enough" are not part of the Honda vocabulary on the racetrack, on the engineer's drawing board or on the assembly line.
Beginning with the company's earliest years, company founder Soichiro Honda insisted that his engineers prove the company's capabilities by testing their creations in the crucible of competition. In 1959, Honda brought his young company to the prestigious Isle of Man TT, and two years later Honda Motor Company captured its first World Grand Prix win, a victory that forever altered the global racing landscape.
Racing in the U.S. has been equally prolific. Honda has earned more than 100 national titles in motorcycle roadracing, motocross and off-road competition, the most recent being Trey Canard's 2010 AMA 250 Motocross Championship. Highlights over the years of American Honda's commitment to racing include winning its first-ever AMA 250 National Motocross Championship in 1973, 59 AMA Motocross and Supercross titles, 30 roadracing championships in AMA SuperBike, SuperSport, Formula Xtreme and Formula One, five AMA Flat Track rings and a record-setting 21 SCORE Baja 1000 victories—including the 14th consecutive win in 2010.
Name the motorcycle racing discipline, and you'll find a collection of Honda championship trophies.
Honda's drive to conquer new engineering challenges—whether on the racetrack or in the production of consumer products—continues to forge the soul of the Honda Motor Company. Racing inspires new heights of creativity at Honda, encouraging an unceasing search for new designs. This long-standing and deep-seated passion for racing excellence continues to power Honda to create the dreams of today, dreams that will appear as the innovations of tomorrow.
The Sport, Inside and Out
The Supercross and Motocross championships stand as the premier racing series of the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA). Most riders compete in both series, and for that reason the Supercross season dovetails into the Motocross season. The 17-round AMA Supercross series, an FIM World Championship, starts in January and ends in early May, followed immediately by the 12-round AMA Motocross Championship, which runs through early September. Hugely popular with the viewing public, together these 29 events draw a live attendance of nearly one million fans plus a television viewership topping the 18 million mark.
Supercross consists of indoor man-made racecourses built on the floors of baseball and football stadiums. The tracks are studded with big jumps, whoops, tabletops and other obstacles, and they place a premium on the rider's acrobatic skill, timing and all-out courage. Motocross races, the original format for this style of competition, are conducted on outdoor tracks of approximately one mile or more in length. The courses utilize the natural topography of the land, but with built-up jumps and obstacles added, and winning here requires a staggering level of fitness and blazing outright speed.
Supercross features two classes and displacement ranges. In Supercross Lites, racers may run a four-stroke engine no larger than 250cc in displacement. The Supercross class allows four-stroke engines no larger than 450cc. Motocross also has two classes: the 250 class and the 450 class.
As in years past, the Supercross Lites season is divided into two regional series, East and West. At the series finale held in Las Vegas, Lites competitors from both regions face off in the Supercross Lites East/West Shootout. A new format for 2011 makes the shootout a points-paying event for each region, adding to the night's drama and excitement. There are no regional divisions in Motocross; both classes run the entire 12-round series, with each round consisting of two motos of 30 minutes, plus two more laps for each class. At the end of the day, the results of the two motos are combined to produce an overall score.
Honda CRF450R: The Class of the Class
Over the years, the reputation of Honda's CRF450R has grown to near-legendary proportions—and for good reason. This production-based machine has a history of racing success at the top pro levels that speaks volumes about the inherent soundness of the design. At the same time, no other production big-bore MX machine has proven as popular and successful.
Introduced as an all-new and lighter variant with electronic fuel injection in 2009, the CRF450R earned overwhelming praise, winning in AMA racing and also winning a host of magazine comparison tests and best-in-class/MX bike-of-the-year awards. For 2011, enhancements to the front and rear suspension, EFI throttle body and Honda Progressive Steering Damper (HPSD) give the CRF450R better handling and better throttle response than ever before.
The CRF450R contains an unprecedented level of design synergy; the engine was developed concurrently with the rolling chassis in symbiotic fashion to deliver 450-class-leading power along with CRF250R-like handling. The Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system meters fuel with remarkable precision, producing amazing drive right off the bottom while delivering a super-strong mid-range punch and an even stronger rush of top-end power. Because fuel consumption is reduced with PGM-FI, the fuel tank is made shorter, smaller and slimmer. The lighter fuel load decreases the bike's wet weight and lowers the overall center of gravity (cg), and the seat is shaped to allow the rider a greater range of movement on the bike. It's another case of cascading benefits paying dividends over and over again in true Honda fashion.
The smaller and lighter engine, in turn, begat a lighter and narrower twin-spar aluminum frame with a forged-aluminum steering head. Brawny frame downtubes return excellent front-end feel, and steering response and overall handling were also improved by moving the steering-head pipe back and giving the frame a slightly steeper caster angle. The front wheel was positioned farther back and closer to the crankshaft to enhance handling, and the swingarm was lengthened for improved traction. Aided by the HPSD—which permits more aggressive steering geometry—and plusher suspension front and rear, the CRF450R rails through turns, tames whoops and maintains superb high-speed stability in a fashion that leaves the other marks behind—literally speaking.
All in all, it's easy to see why the CRF450R has been—and also now remains—at the head of the class.
Honda CRF250R: True Championship Quality
How good was the all-new 2010 Honda CRF250R? Plenty good—in fact, it was good enough for GEICO Powersports Honda rider Trey Canard to ride to the 250 National Motocross Championship in 2010. Of course, winning is nothing new for the CRF250R; since its debut in 2004 this quarter-liter wonder has been winning races and championships at the highest levels in Supercross and Motocross, including two consecutive AMA/WMA Women's Motocross Championships by Ashley Fiolek in 2008 and 2009, plus a runner-up performance in 2010.
Completely new for 2010, the CRF250R featured a redesigned, more compact, fuel-injected Unicam® engine that uses space- and weight-saving technologies similar to those that debuted on the 2009 CRF450R. For example, the switch to Honda's unique Programmed Fuel Injection yielded better fuel economy, which in turn permitted a lighter fuel load, which permitted a smaller fuel tank and better mass centralization. This newest CRF250R Unicam engine also incorporates a longer engine stroke than before, overall engine height is lower, and the crankshaft is now 10mm lower as well, further lowering the bike's center of gravity. In addition, the completely new chassis centers on a twin-spar aluminum frame that incorporates Honda's Progressive Steering Damper (HPSD), a forged-aluminum steering head, stronger downtubes and a simplified removable rear subframe.
Now for 2011, the CRF250R follows that same winning formula along with a new Honda Progressive Steering Damper with a body diameter that has increased from 20mm to 24mm for improved front-end stability and tracking. Revised fork valving offers improved balance and bottoming resistance, while revised shock valving contributes to optimum chassis balance. In addition, a redesigned muffler lowers sound emissions to 94 dB.
Together, the CRF250R and CRF450R embody winning technology that will advance Honda riders, amateurs and professionals alike, to new heights in 2011.
Trey Canard
Without a doubt, the grueling and thrilling sports of professional Supercross and Motocross racing remain a young man's game. But even within an endeavor loaded with young athletes who possess seemingly unbounded talent, the superlatives flow freely whenever the name Trey Canard pops up.
Canard got a brief first taste of professional racing at the end of the 2007 Motocross season, and his three subsequent years of full-time competition have not only honed his racing skills but also made him a champion twice over. Riding for the GEICO Powersports Honda team aboard his CRF250R, Canard captured the 2008 AMA Supercross Lites East Championship and the 2010 AMA 250 Motocross title. Moreover, when Canard filled in for an injured rider during the 2010 Supercross season, he capitalized on the timely opportunity to try his hand in the elite big-bike series aboard a Team Honda CRF450R by finishing on the podium five times in a row. Sure, many people were hoping he would do well, but five consecutive podiums mid-season on a new bike? Let's just say that even more people were simply shocked to witness such a high level of success so quickly. Furthermore, Canard topped off the 2010 season by helping Team USA win the overall victory at the FIM Motocross of Nations held in Lakewood, Colorado—all in all, quite a meteoric rise in only three years! Now only 20 years old, Canard steps into the bright-shining limelight as one of two riders on Team Honda in 2011.
"As an amateur racer riding Hondas for the Factory Connection team, it was my dream to one day make it onto the Honda factory team, and to be given this opportunity now is a real honor," said Canard. "I've been a part of Honda's racing program for a long time in both my amateur and professional careers. I'm pumped to be able to continue that relationship into the big-bike class.
"I've been riding Hondas since my amateur days, so the transition from the CRF250R to the CRF450R felt very natural to me; you can definitely see and feel the family resemblance between these two bikes. Obviously, there's more power to deal with when riding the 450, but I think that makes riding it even more fun. Despite being a bigger bike, it handles incredibly well, and I can't say enough about the support the team gives me; they are just great. And now that we've had more time to get the bike dialed in to my riding style, things have really come together well."
"To be honest, I'm kind of blown away at how quickly Trey got a handle on racing the CRF450R," said Erik Kehoe, Motocross Team Manager. "Not everyone can make the jump to the bigger bikes easily, but pretty much right off the bat Trey demonstrated his ability on the Honda CRF450R. Actually, his earning five consecutive Supercross podium finishes in the middle of the season last year was quite exceptional. And it wasn't only his results that impressed me, it was also how quickly he came to grips with the new bike and got up to racing speed in the 450 competition, riding a new and bigger bike against the best riders in the world. A lot of credit has to go to Trey's nature; he works incredibly hard and he's very coachable, always willing to stay late and learn more.
"He showed a great deal of racing maturity last year in winning the 250 Motocross championship. He had to overcome a points deficit from early in the season, but he just kept focused on doing what he had to do and slowly but surely chipped away at the points gap, getting stronger and stronger as the season wore on. The title chase came down to the last race in the season, but Trey never got flustered; he just kept charging, and he made his own destiny and became a champion for the second time in three years."
Now the young racer faces a new challenge, his biggest yet. Will he win a third championship in 2011 aboard a new bike, riding with the factory team? Well, judging from the rocketship arc of his racing career thus far, a title in the 450 class is certainly within his grasp.

Josh Grant
"Here's what you need to know about Josh Grant: He has shown great speed in the 450 class, and he's a proven entity," said Erik Kehoe, Motocross Team Manager. Indeed, the new season brings back a familiar face to the Honda ranks as Josh Grant returns to the fold of Honda Red Riders. He'll be riding the factory-prepped CRF450R in both the Supercross and Motocross series in 2011.
"He's definitely a strong addition to the team," Kehoe added. "Josh has demonstrated huge abilities in the 450 class since graduating from the 250 class in 2008, where he rode with the GEICO Powersports Honda team for several years. We know he has more than enough speed to be a winner no matter who lines up at the starting gate, as he has recorded wins in both 250 and 450 Supercross and Motocross classes. The challenge will be for Josh to be consistent, stay healthy and put a whole season in; if he does that, he'll be in position to take a title. We know he can do it; he has a deep background racing Hondas, and we look forward to seeing what he can do all year long aboard a Honda Racing–prepared CRF450R."
After racking up multiple Supercross and Motocross Lites wins aboard his Honda CRF250R, including winning the U.S. Open of Supercross, Grant transitioned well to the big-bike class in 2009, winning the Anaheim Supercross opener that year. He went on to earn two more podiums and finish fourth in the series points, as well as take two podiums and an overall win in 450 Motocross competition during the outdoor season. Hindered by injuries during 2010, Grant bounced back to score an AMA Motocross series race win and secure his first-ever X Games Supercross gold medal. All of which stands as proof positive that Grant has what it takes to stand on the top step of the podium when the dust finally settles.
"It feels really good to be back on a Honda, the brand that I started riding during my amateur and professional careers," said Grant. "I was riding Hondas back when I was a 14-year-old amateur racer, and I've always loved riding Hondas. I feel really comfortable on them. Climbing back aboard a Honda now is like getting together with an old friend; it's a good, natural fit. The power is really there with the CRF450R, but what I really like is the way it handles, the way it corners—this bike gives you a lot of confidence.
"We've all been working hard together, and the level of support I get with the Honda Racing team is simply incredible. We've got the bike working really well, so I just need to stay healthy and let each race come to me. I know I can compete with the best, and I plan on winning races and climbing the podium all year long.
"Since I began riding Hondas during my amateur days and during my first days in the 250 class as a pro rider, they've always seemed like the perfect fit for me. So coming back to Honda and the CRF450R is like coming back home. I've always dreamed about being a factory Honda rider, and now I've made it. My heart has always been set on being here, so I can't really put into words what this feeling is like and how much it means to me. I just want to get on the track, get down to business and earn some wins."
Indeed, all the right pieces now seem to be in place, and 2011 looks to be the year that Josh Grant comes home once again, with his sights set dead square on a championship.

Ashley Fiolek
There is little that 20-year-old female Motocross star Ashley Fiolek hasn't achieved in her three years of professional racing. The racing sensation made headlines when she became the first female to be signed to the American Honda Racing factory team and has twice won the Women's Motocross Championship (WMA), plus is the reigning X Games Women's Supercross gold medalist. And what makes Fiolek's rise to the top even more remarkable is that she has achieved all this despite being born deaf.
"If my story can inspire one person to follow their dreams and never give up, no matter what the boundaries are, then it's all worth it. I wouldn't want to change any part of my story," says Fiolek.
Joining American Honda Racing in 2009, Fiolek made headlines when she took home the Women's Supercross gold medal at her X Games debut. Demonstrating it wasn't beginners luck, Fiolek backed up her stellar result the following year by taking the gold medal again in 2010.
"The X Games is an amazing event," said Fiolek. "Everything about the competition is exciting. It brings some of the top extreme sports athletes from across the globe to Los Angeles for a week of extreme competition. I'm really proud to be among the select few athletes to have won X Games gold. Training for the Women's Supercross competition also gives me the chance to work one-on-one with Supercross legend Jeremy McGrath, which is really exciting. He's taught me a lot about Supercross racing."
For 2011, Fiolek's sights are firmly set on regaining the WMA title after finishing just shy of the top spot last season.
"My focus for this year is to win back my WMA title. I believe my preparation going into the 2011 WMA season is where it needs to be. My dad and I have really focused on developing my riding skills over the off-season, and I've changed up my strength-training and exercise program quite a bit. I receive so much support from everyone involved with American Honda Racing, and the team does an awesome job preparing my race bike; it's incredibly fast. There's definitely no shortage of people on hand to help me at each race, and there is no better way for me to repay the team than with a title win."
Fiolek's success both on and off the track has generated a lot of media attention, and her dominance has single-handedly elevated the profile of women's motocross racing. In addition to her on track accomplishments, Fiolek added book author to her list of career achievements with the release of her inspirational memoir, Kicking Up Dirt, in 2010—a story about determination, deafness and daring to dream. She has also become a well-respected leader in the deaf community and gives back by hosting events at local deaf schools and community centers to show special needs children that dreams can come true no matter what the circumstances. Her story is so inspirational that American Honda featured her in a short film that debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in 2011. As a result of being a two-time women's champ, Fiolek has developed a strong following of fans over the years and has become a role model to many young women.
"My success has not come easy, and my family has made some big sacrifices in order for me to follow my dreams. We are one big team so when I win, they win. However, everything we've accomplished together so far hasn't been without its share of frustration. There have been some really tense moments and times when I wondered if it is all worth it. But it's the instances where fans tell me that I've inspired them to follow their dreams or I'm standing on the podium holding up the number one plate that all the hard work becomes worth it," said Fiolek.
Although Fiolek has achieved so much in her short professional career, she still has another goal in her sights: to be the first woman to qualify alongside the men in a 250-class Motocross race.
"I really want to qualify with the boys," said Fiolek. "I've come close a few times now, but I'm determined to add first woman to qualify for the 250 Motocross class to my list of career accomplishments. That would be very cool."
With the support of American Honda Racing coupled with the level of talent and determination Fiolek has shown throughout her racing career, one thing is for sure—Fiolek will be a force to be reckoned with in the 2011 WMA competition.

Dunlop® has an unequaled win record in virtually every form of AMA racing and, as a Honda racing team sponsor for more than two decades, has contributed immensely to the motocross team's record 59 national titles. Working hand in hand with Honda's factory riders and technicians guarantees cutting-edge tire technology for the Honda team, and the partnership pays dividends for casual off-road riders as well.
Honda and Showa® have celebrated countless championships over the years and will bank on decades of experience to elevate the Red Riders to the championship podium in 2011. Showa is also an OE supplier to Honda (as well as other manufacturers), and its expertise in motocross suspension is very beneficial to the team.
Among manufacturers of handlebars and sprockets, only Renthal®—a 25-year Honda racing team sponsor—can boast more than 100 world and national championships. It goes without saying that American Honda's motocross team has won many of its championships with Renthal products.
D.I.D® has been a longtime Honda racing team sponsor and puts what it learns in competition into the OE products it supplies to Honda and other manufacturers. Spokes, rims and drive chains take an unbelievable beating in the world of professional motocross, which is why the Honda team puts its trust in D.I.D to provide components that can take the constant abuse.
VP Racing Fuels
This marks the 10th year that VP Racing Fuels® has been a Honda racing team sponsor. VP's experience in blending championship-winning fuels dates back 31 successful years, and in addition to its Motocross and Supercross titles with Team Honda, the company also boasts several NHRA Pro Stock titles, plus championships in off-shore, off-road, circle-track and aviation competition.
Twin Air
Twin Air®, one of the originators of oiled-foam air filters, enters the 2011 season, their 12th year with the Honda racing team. Twin Air has been racking up championships around the globe for more than three decades.
As a sponsor and supplier of cutting-edge four-stroke exhaust systems to the Honda racing team, Yoshimura® spends countless hours each year developing racebike exhaust systems and building products for consumers. The largest aftermarket exhaust manufacturer in the world, the company has been building four-stroke exhaust systems since 1954.
Hinson Racing
Hinson Racing®, the supplier of clutch components to the Honda racing team, has won titles in every major professional off-road series and expects to add more to its mantel with Honda in 2011. The massive power produced by the Honda team's factory engines is readily handled by Hinson Racing clutch components, which deliver the ultimate in off-road performance and reliability.

Nevada County residents watch Nevada City, Grass Valley sales taxes
April 10, 2013
One week after Grass Valley and Nevada City's new sales taxes went in effect, residents who have those towns' zip codes but live outside their municipal borders are cautioning their neighbors to keep a close on eye their receipts.
"If you are living outside the city limits, be watchful," said Donald Sauer, a Nevada County resident with a Nevada City zip code.
Sauer claims he was charged Nevada City's new 8.5 percent sales tax rate when shopping for auto parts online April 1, even though that transaction and use tax is only supposed to apply to purchases made within city limits or to large-ticket items, such as cars, that are registered or delivered to residences within the city.
"That is one of the challenges is the geographic boundary instead of a postal boundary," said Grass Valley City Manager Dan Holler. "If the point of the sale is in the city, that is not an issue. It is when someone buys something out town and the address is a (Grass Valley or Nevada City) zip code that it can raise a problem."
Grass Valley's new rate is 8.125 percent, up from 7.625 percent, which is the rate throughout unincorporated Nevada County.
Holler noted that the city had received no complaints of mischarged sales taxes since the new tax rate took effect, but Tina Vernon, Nevada County's treasurer-tax collector, said her office has received a few complaints in both new taxes' first week, even though her office has nothing to do with sales taxes.
"We are getting calls from tax payers because they don't know who else to call," Vernon said.
As a policy, it is the responsibility of the retailer to ensure a customer is getting charged the correct sales tax, according to the California Board of Equalization, which is the agency that oversees such taxes.
However, as county resident Marcy Snead noted, in reality, a customer needs to be vigilant.
"If they don't cover you, it's up to you to report it. (But) most people don't pay attention to the sales tax because it is assumed," Snead said. "I make sure I shop in areas where the sales tax is lower."
If a customer notices an inappropriate tax rate, a Board of Equalization spokesman said it is up to the retailer to reimburse the customer and file it with the state agency. In Sauer's case, Nevada City has paperwork available on its website to file a complaint, a practice adopted when the city passed a pervious sales tax in 2006.
"We already addressed this through Measure S seven years ago," said Catrina Olson, Nevada City's finance director.
When Measure S passed, Olson said the city got a lot of phone calls about people with Nevada City zip codes who didn't live in the city limits who were getting charged for the tax. In response, the board mapped out all the addresses for the BOE and made the information available to retailers.
"I don't have a lot of concern about it at this time and because we worked with the state BOE about the boundaries and actual addresses," Olson said. "The vender can go on and look and see for themselves … All the information about our city and our tax rate is out there."
While local, county and even regional businesses may understand the various different tax rates of potential customers, where it gets tricky, Snead said, is in online purchases.
"What they have done is taken all the sales tax rates and averaged it," Snead said of online businesses. "So that sales tax percentage they used was an averaged amount. Because they don't know exactly where you live."
Sauer said it is all about vigilance.
"It's in on the onus of the person spending the money to look at it and make sure you aren't being charged when you shouldn't be," Olson said.
City's tax revenue expenditures
While both measures will be allocated to the cities' general funds and, therefore, qualified as general taxes that required simply voter majorities, both measures garnered large enough margins to have passed the more stringent standards of a two-thirds majority special tax.
Revenues are not expected to come in until the end of June, yet both cities outlined where the money would go in justifying their need to voters.
Expenditures of those added revenues is ultimately up to the elected city council members of each city, but both towns promised accountability of those expenses as selling points to voters.
Nevada City officials have not yet scheduled a public meeting to discuss the proposed expenditures with residents, but the proposed allocations of the approximately $390,000 in added annual revenue are available on the city's website for review.
The largest expenditure is building a $650,000 general fund reserve. As part of the city's strategic goal to achieve financial sustainability, it has long aimed to have a minimum 8 percent general fund reserve equating to approximately $325,000 with a suggested 16 percent reserve or two months of the general fund operating budget, according to the proposal.
The city also proposes eliminating furloughed Fridays, tackling deferred maintenance projects and replacing outdated equipment, software and vehicles. While the city is also proposing hiring personnel in public works, parks and recreation, perhaps the most notable proposals are to upgrade from part-time leaders of some of the city's most prominent positions. Currently the city's police chief, city manager and consulting attorney are part-time retirees.
Similarly, Grass Valley told voters that without the $2.4 million brought in annually from Measure N, police officers' and fire fighters' ability to respond to incidents would be diminished because of staff shortages, and roads would not be attended to as vigilantly. However, with the revenue the city would hire more officers and prioritize street maintenance.
Another selling point was the inclusion of an advisory group charged with reviewing and advising the city's expenditures of the tax revenue. With members appointed in February, the group will also advise for the abolition of the tax measure should the city's tax revenues return to pre-recession levels — another of the selling points.

Have you ever purchased from PartSelect.com before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS272900
This part works with the following brands: GE, Hotpoint & Kenmore.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
I replaced the coupling by only having to remove one bolt with a socket wrench. Once replaced I installed the new assy over the coupling making sure ro align the splines then pushing down until the assy snapped into place. Easy.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
I installed the coupler and tightened the bolt with an adjustable wrench. Then I aligned the agitator and snapped it onto the coupler. Then I snapped the fabric softener dispenser onto the agitator. All of this took less than 3 minutes and that includes putting the wrench back into the tool box. I pulled the agitator off of the coupler and out of the machine. I moved the coupler in circles by hand to check to see if it was working properly. It wasn't. I got an adjustable wrench and removerd the bolt that held the coupler on. I pulled the coupler out of the wash basin and examined it. I saw that it was stripped out and I new I had to get a new one. I first called my local sears store to see if I could get the parts. First I spent about 20 minutes tied up in their phone system and then when I finally got to speak to an actual person they didn't have a clue. Then somehow I got transferred to the Sears 1-800- phone number and spent about 20 minutes talking with a parts person. Meanwhile I checked out partsselect.com while I was speaking with the Sears rep. It turns out that Sears wanted about $25 more for the parts than parts select and I was only placing a $50 order. When I brought this to the attention of the sales rep. they replied that they were shipping only GE repair parts. Big Deal. The parts that I got from parts select were the exact parts that I took out of the washer. Ordering online was very easy and convenient and I wasn't overcharged for shipping. The repair took less than 3 minutes and everything works like new. Thank you parts select.
The cap just removed by tapping a few times with a screw driver and hammer. then pulling upward it came off and I placed the new dispenser on. a couple minutes saved me from running up and down to add softener and it was very inexpensive.Thanks alot PARTS SELECT.
Opened lid and place on agitator ... finished
Removed the bolt holding the agitator coupler on, replaced it and the bolt then slid the agitator on the coupler and the fabric softener dispenser on top of that.... so easy!!
Pulle d the old agitator top off and slipped this one on. Your service is great and fast.
Pulled cap off on top of the agitator, slipped on the fabric softener dispenser & Boom ! User friendly website in ordering this part along with quick delivery, thanks!:)
After discovering the agitator floating in the basket and being torn apart from the spin cycle, I finally narrowed the problem down to the coupling having stripped. Removing the old coupling from the agitator itself took a pretty hefty yank and a large pliers, but after that this went pretty easily.The bolt that holds the coupling onto the spline, as it turns out, is too short. The new part corrects this design flaw and prevents the bolt from working its way out over time. I took the liberty of applying some loctite to the threads before sliding the new coupling on--this needed a wood block and hammer to fully seat-several years worth of grime on the spindle makes for a snug fit-then installed the new bolt. Agitator snaps on top, then the cap that had been shredded when it floated around snapped in.Hardest part was getting the failed coupling out of the agitator--design of the unit is not easy to find and thus determine which parts to pull on. Other than that, 15 minutes and this one is done.
just popped it on the existing part! Quite simple...a 5 year old could do it if he was strong enough!
Was easy to remove the broken parts because they were loose already due to the broken finger in the agitator. It was good that I ordered the coupling kit because the bolt showed corrosion already. With the new parts I was able to see how they all clipped on together so I set myself to unbolted the coupling, install the new coupling, tighten it, alined the agitator to it, pushed into place and,... vuahla!!! fitted and worked like a charm.

Do you find yourself wishing your classes were more interesting? If your answer is yes to either of these questions, grab your course catalog and discover your school's quirky class offerings. "The Science of Harry Potter" is an honors course offered by Frostburg State University in Maryland. As the name suggests, it involves analyzing topics from J.K. Rowling's best-selling novels from a scientific perspective. For instance, Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans help students understand how our taste buds function and flying broomsticks are viewed through the lens of anti-gravity research. "The Unbearable Whiteness of Barbie" is offered at Occidental College in California. Its main topic of study is the concept of race and how Barbie has inadvertently encouraged societal racism; it also offers surprisingly deep insights on gender roles, capitalism and more. Some people are skeptical about the usefulness of these classes, with the more extreme critics denouncing them as a waste of money. While they are unorthodox, keep in mind these classes still require a significant amount of work. Students taking "The Science of Harry Potter," for example, must take daily quizzes, complete scientific projects and read textbooks. Speaking of books, "The Science of Harry Potter" only requires two textbooks but the reading list for "The Unbearable Whiteness of Barbie" is surprisingly extensive and includes works by social class analysts Karl Marx and Walter Benjamin. So, if you're tired of more traditional course offerings like physics or sociology, consider finding out if your college offers any unique classes like the ones mentioned above. Just don't expect to do less homework! Lisa Lowdermilk is a published poet, avid video gamer and artist. Her poems have appeared in Celebrate Young Poets: West (Fall 2006) edition and Widener University's The Blue Route. She enjoys watching thrillers, trying different restaurants and attempting to breakdance. Lisa is now majoring in professional writing at the University of Colorado Denver.>Going to college doesn't have to break the bank or saddle you with tens of thousands of dollars in student loan debt.

Comments: love these shoes just as comfy as my retired adrenaline 13s. Can't beat the price
From: Colleen, FL, USA. June 11th 2014
Comments: This shoe is a little narrow in the toe box. After 4-5 miles my outer toes start to rub. Another thing about this shoe is that the tongue is narrow too. I can still see my socks after I have laced up my shoes in the space between the shoe and the tongue. Weird. I have never had this problem with my other Brooks running shoes. And I used Shoefitr. I thought about going a size up but then the shoes would have been way too long. I would not buy these shoes again.
From: Anonymous, Lowell, OH, USA. May 6th 2014
Comments: I recently switched from Asics to Brooks. Love this sneaker...it's held up well and haven't had any problems especially with distance runs. I'm a Brooks girl from now on.
From: Anonymous. April 23rd 2014
Comments: The Ravenna 4 has been a delight to run in. The cushioning is there but it's not too much to where the shoe feels heavy. It's reliable on the longer runs, keeping your feet snug and safe from the constant pounding. Overall, it's a good shoe to log your daily miles.

By NED SCARLETCleveland
The statement, "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it" written by Charles D. Warner in the 1800s is both right and wrong. It is correct in saying the weather is often a topic of conversation. However it is wrong in saying we don't do anything about the weather. We can't do much to alter the weather, but we do many things to protect us from the vagaries of weather.
Recently Democrats have found a way for naturally occurring weather events to do something for them. They have managed to make any unusual weather, and what weather isn't, seem to be the result of man made global warming. And since the Democrats are the party that accepts man made global warming as real, they are perceived as trying to solve the problem, not as part of it. So now every time we experience bad weather people hold Republicans and President Bush at fault and look to the Democrats for solutions.
I do not believe we are responsible for any substantial global warming. Since proof of man made global warming is based on what some or many scientists believe, not what is fact, my belief is as sound as their belief.
Tom McCourt wrote it best when he said in a July 4, 2006 column "The truth is, that the climate of the world is constantly changing. It is always in transition. Sometimes the climate is getting warmer and sometimes it is getting colder. It has been happening that way since the beginning of time."
Studies that show present warming conveniently leave out data that shows similar warming or cooling in the past without the presence of increased levels of man made carbon dioxide.
If the earth heats up or cools down, rest assured we will adapt. Our best ally in this endeavor will be having a free and strong capitalist economy, not one hamstringed by unnecessary and silly restrictions.
I believe man made global warming is being played up not only for political gain, but also, as Thomas Sowell writes, for material gain. "It is not just the sky that is falling. Government money is falling on those who seek grants to study global warming and produce "solutions" for it.'"
It is the ultimate sign of mans vanity to believe that we can control or are responsible for climate. Folks are just going to have to realize the weather is one thing we can not control or change. However I am sure the weather will continue to be a good conversation starter, and as always we will continue to do things that help us endure weather's affects.

Still looks the same eye and jutsu to me. A jutsu is not just something you have but something you must learn to use and that you can develop. Look like Shikamaru keep improving his use of shadows. Look how more and more evolved was the Susanoo of Sasuke.
I guess neither Kakashi neither Tobi has achieved the complete phasing possibilities of that eye. So far Kakashi has managed to master only the long range possibilities of the jutsu. So far Tobi has awaken only the himself plus short range of the jutsu. Also, maybe mastering the long range requires more skill, and mastering the yourself plus short range requires more senju chakra.

"These wedges are super cute and perfect for spring and summer. I love the lace up detail and how it's off to the side. I'm usually a 7.5, but that was a little too big so I had to exchange them for a 7. The 7 fits almost perfectly, with the exception of a little room in between the inside of the straps and my foot. However the ankle fits perfectly, as does the length of the shoe (heel to toe), so it's not enough to be a problem. I have them in the tan color, and it looks true to the color of the picture. They are pretty comfortable, and since I'm used to heels with platforms that says a lot. They also seem pretty well-made, not cheap at all. I definitely reccommend them!"

Castle Dale City is seeking solutions for some problems with safety on city streets. The main street in question is 75 East. The street is narrow and with people parking on both sides of the street a narrow trail is left in between which poses hazards for pedestrian as well as vehicle traffic. Mayor Neal Peacock and fire chief Richard Herring have been touring the city looking for trouble spots.
The fire department also conducted fire drills in the subdivisions in the area at 680 East and 640 East to assess how a fire in these areas could be handled. Parking is tight in the area and the need for access for emergency vehicles needs to be considered. The width of 75 East was measured at 27 feet.
Castle Dale City held a public hearing at the recent city council meeting to discuss the problems in the area. Many concerned citizens attended to offer suggestions. Mayor Peacock said the city's main concerns are snow removal, garbage trucks and emergency vehicles.
Citizens said their area doesn't receive much in the way of snow removal anyway and usually someone in the neighborhood or cul-de-sac plows for them.
Firefighters are trained to backup the firetrucks and in the cul-de-sac area, the truck would be backed in so it could make a quick exit if needed. During the fire drill it took 25 minutes to get hooked to a fire hydrant. With vehicles parked on both sides of the road, backing becomes very dangerous. It was also mentioned that with a structure fire in Castle Dale crews from Huntington and Orangeville automatically respond which can add to traffic congestion.
It was also mentioned that cars parked on both sides of a road that narrow is against state fire code. The council took suggestions for possible solutions which included: additional fire hydrants in the area; visitor parking areas; one way street; parking only on one side of the road; garbage pickup only on one side of the street; alternate days for parking on one side of the street; allow no parking on the streets at all; walking trail; no parking on entries to cul-de-sacs or do nothing.
Castle Dale City will draw up the suggestions and place them on a ballot for the residents of these areas to vote for their favorite solution and allow them to prioritize the solutions in what they think is the order of importance. There will also be a place for additional suggestions. Mayor Peacock said the city is just looking for ways to make residents safer and serve them with fire and snow removal services.
It was estimated that 75 school children walk through this area every morning and afternoon on their way to and from school. It was also suggested the city ask for a stronger police presence in the area. High school students are using the streets at lunch to have a clear shot at Maverik without stop signs and speeding in the process. Mayor Peacock reminded everyone that police would pull everyone over and not just the kids so be aware.
Citizens expressed their thanks to the mayor and city for being concerned with their neighborhoods and allowing them a voice.
In other city business the garbage collection contract was awarded to City Sanitation. The rate is $5.50 per month residential and $3 for an additional can. The rate will go up 10 cents a year after the first year. At no additional charge they will collect from parks, cemetery, rodeo grounds and ball fields.
A public hearing was held to discuss the reopening of the 2004 budget to include the monies from the CIB grant which was used for the purchase of a new backhoe and the purchase of the playground equipment at the rodeo grounds. The budget reopening was approved and the money added to the 2004 budget.
A public hearing was also held on the establishment of a historical preservation commission for Castle Dale City. The ordinance was approved. This action was taken to aid in applying for a grant.
The council expressed appreciation to councilman Joel Dorsch for the pumpkin party held at the recreation center in October. Plans are underway for the Castle Dale Christmas party which will be held on Dec. 16 at 6 p.m. at the recreation center. Dorsch said there will be activities inside and out which will include a chili dinner, Santa and surprises. The city office will prepare a flyer to send to all city residents.
Gaylee Jeffs gave an update on the activities of the youth city council. They are planning a youth ice blocking party on Dec. 4 at the Ferron church hill. This will also include a chili and roll lunch and donuts. Also on April 16, 2005 will be the youth leadership conference. On Nov. 20 the youth city council will decorate the park in Castle Dale and they will also be helping with the town Christmas party on Dec. 16. The youth city council for Castle Dale now includes 25 members and Ashlin White recently recruited 10 new members.
It was also reported that drainage in Castle Dale has been a lot better since the installation of the new drains and a few problem areas will be addressed next season.

Wellington ran seven tries past Otago to win 49-22 in their ITM Cup clash at Forsyth Barr Stadium on Saturday.
Winger Matt Proctor scored a hat-trick as a rampant Wellington brushed aside Otago 49-22 at Forsyth Barr Stadium on Saturday.
The 19-year-old was a late inclusion in the starting line-up following fly-half Lima Sopoaga's withdrawal, and he made the most of his opportunity as he ran in two tries before the half-time break and then completed his hat-trick 20 minutes before the full-time whistle.
Otago, who scored three tries to the seven from the visitors, missed countless of tackles, were outmuscled and beaten in just about every department.
Proctor beat three players to open the scoring after just five minutes with Jason Woodward adding the extras.
Otago barely had time to regain their composure and they were already 21-0 down after 15 minutes as loose-forward Ardie Savea and captain Jeremy Thrush both crashed over for easy tries with Woodward keeping his perfect record.
Wellington wrapped up the bonus point after only 20 minutes when Savea fed half-back Frae Wilson.
Otago finally managed to get their act together eight minutes later when some ill-discipline from the visitors resulted in a penalty being put out close to the line. Tom Franklin crashed over after good work from the forwards.
Wellington, though, had the last laugh in the first-half as Proctor's second gave them a 35-10 lead at the break.
Woodward, who contributed 19 points, scored early in the second half while Proctor completed his hat-trick on 60 minutes.
Otago finished the stronger as substitutes TJ Ioane and Shota Horie both crossed to add some respectability to the scoreline.
The victory helps Wellington to move five points clear of Canterbury at teh top of the table while Otago stay second in the second-tier Championship division.
The scorers:
For Otago:
Tries: Franklin, Ioane, Horie
Cons: Parker 2
Pens: Parker
For Wellington:
Tries: Proctor 3, Savea, Thrush, Wilson, Woodward
Cons: Woodward 7

Replacements: 16 Shota Horie, 17 Jacob Ellison, 18 Justin Ives, 19 TJ Ioane, 20 Brad Weber, 21 Peter Breen, 22 Adam Hill.

St. Paul's Letter to the Hebrews 11:24-26, 32-40
Prokeimenon. Mode 4.
Daniel 3.26,27
Blessed are you, O Lord, the God of our fathers.
Verse: For you are just in all you have done.
Brethren, by faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.
And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets -- who through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, received promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched raging fire, escaped the edge of the sword, won strength out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign enemies to flight. Women received their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, that they might rise again to a better life. Others suffered mocking and scourging, and even chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed with the sword; they went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, ill-treated -- of whom the world was not worthy -- wandering over deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
And all these, though well attested by their faith, did not receive what was promised, since God had foreseen something better for us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
