I have used the snow thrower one year. The machine is awesome, but I did have a belt problem. The front belt was not aligned perfectly when I engaged the augur drive, I noticed the engine outside the belt cover was black. Upon removing the cover the front belt was almost completely destroyed in my first use. As I had just purchased the machine I took it back to the dealer and the belt was replaced and adjusted. Still not perfect, because the auger still turns even after disengaging the right controls. I hope there is a maintenance fix or recall for this so the belt alignment can be perfect like the rest of the snow thrower. The Auto Turn is a must have, the ability to turn with like effort even in 10+ inches of snow is irreplaceable. The hand warmers are nice to have when outside long. The Quick turn chute is flawless and the name speaks to how easy it is to use.Fixing the front belt alignment will make this snow thrower hands down the best overall.

I purchased the Ariens 24 inch Platinum in April 2014. Since the North East has been getting heavy snow falls over the past several years, I felt it was time to retire my 10 year old 22 inch Craftsman snow blower and buy something more suitable. After some research, I liked the advertising that the Ariens products offered. Even before I received the machine I was having trouble. First, the snow blower was delivered damaged and the gas tank had to replaced. Since there was no snow in April, I stored the machine until November 2014. I took it out of storage but it would not start. I had to have it serviced, at my cost when the tech could not start it , and it had not even been used once. Then, January 26, 2015, a major storm. 20" +. Anxious to use the machine, it started on the first pull, ran for five minutes and died. I paid over $1500.00 for the machine and accessories and its back in the shop being serviced (probably at my cost again) after the tech could not start it on site. Based on my experience, I would have to say this product is unreliable.

About Me Handyman
So far I absolutely hate the auto turn. You have to pull to one side to get the gears to slip giving you assisted turning. My old snowblower had the release turn levers. All I had to do was press the lever and it would release that side and turn like a skid steer. The gear box has been leaking since I got it. Been in the shop twice now. first time they replaced seals and still leaks . second time been in shop for over a week and they havent even looked at it yet. I wish I could get my old 12 year old poulan pro back. This snowblower sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh and the headlight was DOA

Buying quality only hurts once!!!!
By Billy
from New Hampshire
I would highly recommend this snow blower to anyone living in a climate that gets a considerable amount of snow each year. While this snow blower is more expensive than your typical middle of the road machine, you get what you pay for and am a firm believer in that buying quality only hurts once. We live in New Hampshire and get a lot of snow and this machine handled it like a pro. Super easy to start up, operate and maneuver.
Thick Wet Snow - No Problem !
By George
from Manassas, VA
Really like the feature rich design. Controls are ergo designed. Like the one hand operation (drive and impeller keep running) to allow for extra hand to adjust speed control on the fly - do not have to stop. Hand warmers are awesome and allow for thinner non-bulky gloves to be worn in extremely cold weather. Traction is outstanding. I thought I needed treads for my steep driveway, but did not. My john deere tractor with posi-traction and chains can't get up the slick driveway, but no problem for the Ariens Platinum SHO. Engine is very powerful and did not bog down in 12 inches of very wet snow. impeller and shoot never clogged. This was impressive. throws even wet snow far off the driveway.No Cons noticed at this time. Can't review the durability as it is brand new - but will not prematurely downgrade without data. Only concern I have is engine made in China. Hopefully, Ariens quality controls are solidly in place. Would have paid more to have Honda or Kawasaki engine. Japanese engines are superior.
great machine. love the way it throws the heavy snow .

Great Product from a Great Company
By jim11157
from Rocky Hill, CT.
Have owned many Ariens products in the past, by far the most refined and easiest to handle. Powerful engine makes light work out of even the wettest snow. Convenient placement of the controls which are easy to use with thick gloves on. Starts easily and warms up quickly. Fuel tank is small and this machine with it's larger engine is pretty thirsty. Not a fan of the integrated choke and throttle control, but I'll get used to it. Nice to see it is just as well built as my first Ariens from 1969.
Worth every penny.
By Mike

The ability to hold the traction and auger engaged with one hand leaves the other hand free to redirect the chute. Power assisted turning is very helpful in deep snow.

I purchase an Ariens Platinum 30 with AX414 engine new from Home Depot. Overall the product is awesome. If you are not mechanically able, you will need to hire somebody that is mechanical to setup your new machine. Problems I found and repaired on my new machine: 1) the Primer pump hose rotten, full of cracks and holes and had to be replaced. The chute cables were not adjusted to make the chute function properly and were routed incorrectly, again I repaired. The drive linkage cable and auger linkage cable were not adjusted and the lock nut were not secure, again I repaired. The skid plates/feet were not adjusted to where the scraper blade was the only component touching the ground, I had to adjust and repair, Overall the assembly was very poor. I blame Home Depot for the poor assembly. I blame Ariens for the rotted primer pump hose.Besides the poor assembly, the machine is a fantastic snow blower after I made the many repairs and adjustments.

I bought a Platinum 30" Snowblower with the Quick Turn Chute & 2nd time I used it, all the gear teeth broke/ stripped off. Ariens gave me a new gear and I installed it but, noted their design on the hex rod / instuctions was faulty with only two cotter pins and the washer supplied was not thick enough to permit proper gear teeth engagement /meshing. The problem is when you rotatate the chute, with a heavy snow load there was not enough preload between the mating gear teeth and they would skip /become disenged and break off the teeth. (My gear had 12 broken gear teeth) I solved this problem by machining a custom bronze washer that was about .150" thicker than the skimpy washer Ariens supplied. I also drilled a new hole thru the hex rod behind the handle bar plate face and added a washer / cotter pin to permantly "fix" the gear teeth spacing so the gears would not "Skip" or break off again.

Ariens Platinum 30 SHO - Truly the King of Snow
By Mark
from Coal Creek, Golden, Colorado
Comments about Ariens Platinum 30 SHO:
Top Notch Quality Snowthrower! I live in Coal Creek Colorado and we get some wild and deep and wet snows. This 30" machine has made the task of clearing the driveway and path to the front door actually enjoyable. I let the machine do the work, and it works per-fectly! Thank you Ariens for the quality of this snowthrower. Only one suggestion, have a manual, quicker method of changing the skid height, as I first use on the concrete and then the rest of the gravel driveway. It would be nice to keep the snowthrower lower on the concrete without having to use a 9/16" socket to loosen and reset two skid bolts on each side before continuing.
Snow Throwing Animal
By Rick S
from Lockport NY
New home required a bigger machine to replace my 24-inch Platinum. This 30-inch machine is great. It's much heavier in the front end compared to the 24" and really digs in to the hard packed snow, no floating. The only complaint is the rediculously small gas tank. The machine will start to starve for gas on down hill runs with only a quart and a half of fuel burned. Other than that, it's a terrific machime!BTW, I thought the heated grips were just a gimmic - NO WAY, they are the best. I wear a light pair of knit gloves and my hands never get cold. Love 'em.

never buy Ariens again
By Disgruntled
from Boston, Mass
Bought 30" platinum at end of 2014-15 winter from dealer in Connecticut. I drained gas and did not get a chance to use it until this year. Almost impossible to start without using the electric start. Will only start after repeated pulls with idle set on slow. Dealer did not set up skids correctly. Dealer did not set up remote deflector cable correctly and as a result it welded itself to the muffler. The chute control only goes 90 degrees each way instead of the advertised 100 degrees. I dropped it off at a dealer here in Mass after telling them what was wrong and they said they would fix it. 2 days later they called me and said they could not fix the mistakes of another dealer. They also claimed that deflector chute was only designed to go 90 degrees to each side instead of the advertised 100 degrees. I called the factory and they said that I would have to go back to the original dealer to have them fix the set up problems. So If you buy one, be careful where u buy it. Now I will have to drive almost 2 hours there and 2 hours back to drop it off and then do the same to pick it up. At this point I will try to get my money back from the dealer or I will sell it at a loss to some one else and buy another brand. Ariens also does not mention that the auto- turn will only work on a perfectly smooth drive way. It is worthless if you have any imperfections in the concrete or asphalt. If you have an unpaved road like mine it will be a constant fight. Lessons learned here are 1. Ariens does not properly train or vet their dealers. 2. Once you buy it you are on your own because Ariens will not help you if you have a problem. 3. Be careful where you buy it. 4. Don't buy Ariens products.
Great Machine-Envey Of The Neighbourhood
By Bring It On Eric
from Moncton N.B. Canada
I am more than happy with my new Ariens Platinum 414cc SHO. In the right conditions it blows 55 feet as advertised. Possibly further. It runs well, takes 2 pulls to start, sounds good when it is running. It is smooth and you know it wants to go blow snow.One thing I don't like is the gas tank-hard to fill, screen is in the way, it is also hard to fill. I can only pour fuel slowly and must go real slow if I want to fill it to the top. If I don't I run short doing the yard and need to push back to garage or carry can of fuel to it.I do love this machine though, it's a long way from my old 10.5 MTD :)
Highly Rcommend. I call this Machine, the beast.
By Blondie
from Sudbury Ontario Canada
Received this machine late August 2015. The first one of this model in my area. Not knowing what to expect, I must say, what a choice I made. From the top to the bottom, and internal, solid well made piece of equipment. It performs like no other. As stated it blows snow 55ft and beyond. Example; while doing my neighbour's driveway during the first snowfall, the snow was blowing so high they thought the snow plow was going by. lol. I recommend this animal to everyone out there.
Service and delivery comments:
Great service & communications from the people at forest and lawn.

Is Ariens selling junk now?
By Hammer
from Buffalo, NY
After having a smaller Ariens snowblower for a while I upgraded to the larger more powerful Platinum 30, spending a ridiculous amount of money. It didn't work properly the day it was delivered. I had to pick it up and return it. Dealer "fixed it". I got it back and it had the same problem. Well over a month later, after I had to load it up and return it, that problem was fixed.Finally needed to use it. Hard to start, but I got it going. machine was essentially unusable because it will not move in a straight line. Again, I had to load it and return it. Waiting to hear if it can be fixed. I hope it doesn't snow...

What I would like to achieve is:

….note the pipe in-between.
When viewing a page / post , at the top of the browser window only the page / post title is displayed.
The problem is (or, to my understanding) it's hard to see what the results are / will be once google gets around to re-indexing the site.
When performing site:www.sitename.com the results are very messed up due to duplicate content, old content, and this titles issue.
Any help /pointers would be much appreciated.

Under the new direction of Nicholas Shurtleff, Jessieville's high school band program has soared in competition and overall improvement.
After attending the ASBOA Region II Assessment at Lakeside last week, the marching band scored an overall rating of "excellent" from an average of individual scores in categories such as tone, rhythm, uniformity and originality.
"We need to focus on uniformity of marching style, creating a better show concept, and individual playing ability of musicians," Shurtleff said.
In preparation for this assessment, they competed in other events: Arkansas Showcase of Bands at War Memorial Stadium and Ouachita Valley Invitational in Camden.
"My goal was for us to improve as an ensemble and for individual students to progress," Shurtleff said. "If that happens, the overall band will progress."
To meet these goals, the band members participated in fundamentals camp in the summer and after-school practices two days a week once school started (three days for percussion and color guard.) Assisting Shurtleff in color guard is his wife, Erin.
Putting their practice to play, the band will partake in a winter concert on at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 9 in Jessieville's Performing Arts Center.
Later in the year, they will also compete in the Region II Concert Assessment in March.
"The success we've endured so far would not have been possible without the support of our administration and staff," said Shurtleff.

Yellow Magikoopa
From the Super Mario Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
"Hoo ha! That's far enough! This lighthouse is off-limits!"
Yellow Magikoopa is a sub-species of Magikoopa found in the game Paper Mario. In-game, its name is abbreviated as Y Magikoopa.
When the player encounters this enemy, it can electrify an ally, making it immune to direct attacks. When riding a broom, it attacks with electricity, but a double jump will make the Magikoopa fall off. When on the ground, it walks up to Mario and smacks him. However, if the Magikoopa's allies have been defeated, it will run from the battle.
A Yellow Magikoopa along with three Lakitus acts as a mid-boss, thus the player has to defeat them since they are keeping Mario from destroying the Puff-Puff Machine.
In Mario Superstar Baseball and its sequel Mario Super Sluggers, one of Magikoopa's alternate colors has it wearing yellow robes, making it resemble a Yellow Magikoopa.
Yellow Magikoopas appear in Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition, as enemies and allies that the player can use against other enemies. Its attribute is Light.
Names in other languages[edit]

Share it Please
Good afternoon, dear readers!
I wanted to start doing some polish colour comparison posts, so today I have one for some light blue (almost light blue green) shades.
With flash:
Without flash:
From L to R: China Glaze Kinetic Candy, Cult Nails Manipulative, China Glaze For Audrey, Sinful Colors Greek Isles and Color Club Evolution.
Please forgive my cuticles and the bumps in the polish (my cuticles have been very unruly lately; peeling, staining, etc..)
For these photos I have CG Kinetic Candy on my thumb, CN Manipulative on my pointer, CG For Audrey on my middle finger, SC Greek Isles on my ring finger and CC Evolution on my pinky.
Manipulative has some slight shimmer to it, and the others are all creams. Greek Isles is quite a bit darker and leaning more green than the others, while Evolution is brighter and more blue than the rest.
I think the closest two out of them are Manipulative and For Audrey (Kinetic Candy is more pale).
Are any of these polishes favourites of yours? I love all of them!! :D
Have a wonderful Friday!

Rocky Mountain Low
The Rockies look decidedly uncomfortable in weather they should be used to
April 13, 2009, 4:19 PM
By: Wayne Drehs
So Denver, yeah, it gets cold there. They have snow, they have temperatures in the 30s. They have wind. But the Rockies just don't appear to be quite comfortable in today's elements.
After all, Cubs left-hander Ted Lilly has kept them hitless through five innings, starting pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez was pulled in the fourth after throwing 104 pitches -- yes 104 pitches -- and manager Clint Hurdle was ejected in the top of the fifth by first base umpire Tim McClelland.
Jimenez's final pitching line was quite, umm, interesting: 3 2/3 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 6 BB, 5 K, 1 HBP, 1 balk, 104 pitches, 55 strikes. Can't remember the last time I saw a guy throw 104 pitches and not get out of the fourth inning.
Have a question? An opinion? Hate the Cubs? Or the White Sox? Drop me a line at firstname.lastname@example.com.

(Mon, 21 Mar 2011 07:21:06 +0000): I created a test facebook app and I can retrieve comments posted to this. Now I've created a new live app and posting comments to that, but I can't retrieve them through FQL, I've updated the app id, and ensured comments have been posted etc. Is this a bug?
Jonathan Hodgkinson

Elizabeth Lin
(Wed, 06 Apr 2011 16:20:37 +0000): No I wasn't able to, and I couldn't find any helpful answers. I suspect that it might not be part of the API because of privacy concerns (because you are accessing posts on a wall that you don't have permission to view)?
Tyson Lowery
(Wed, 13 Apr 2011 16:09:54 +0000): There isn't any way to do this. Vote for this bug if you want Facebook to consider changing the API to allow this: http://bugs.developers.facebook.net/show_bug.cgi?id=9509
Jan Lübeck
(Wed, 13 Apr 2011 16:38:38 +0000): Tyson, I just voted in your bug report. You mention there that the way to do it is making thousands of calls... do you have a query example?
Tyson Lowery
(Wed, 13 Apr 2011 17:44:02 +0000): When I tried to do it, it was 100s of lines of code. Here's what I tried. First find every connection someone has. Then find every wall post, note, photo, album, video, etc. each connection has. Then test the comment table using the postID or objectID looking for your person's fromID, you may have to test 10,000 or more posts/objects for each user of your app. You may have to put some pauses in your code so you don't go over the rate limit. I never really got my code working, I may revisit it at some point though.
Arkadius Stefanski
(Tue, 19 Apr 2011 15:13:38 +0000): its much easier with fql.multiquery and the php sdk ... <?php $queries = array('status' => 'SELECT post_id, ...

Marco Barbosa
(Tue, 07 Jun 2011 14:16:06 +0000): is it possible to make fb comments smaller like Facebook uses? for example.. inside facebook the comments have different size from this one.. user's photo is smaller, the comment appears after the user's name and doesn't show our information about where the user works. Also, we didn't need to click "Comment".. the "Enter" key is enought.. in my opinion it should have a option if we want to use that kind of "smaller" comments. Do you know if is that possible?

MMA Junkie is reporting that UFC veteran Renato "Babalu" Sobral (28-7) has agreed to terms with Strikeforce.
Babalu recently became a free agent after the UFC opted to release him from his contract following his actions at UFC 74: Respect. During his fight at UFC 74, Sobral latched on a fight-ending anaconda choke and refused to let go after his opponent David Heath tapped ultimately choking him unconscious. After the fight he stated that he needed to teach Heath some "respect". Due to his actions, The Nevada State Athletic Commission decided to withhold Babalu's $25,000 win bonus and the UFC terminated his contract.
No date has been announced for Babalu's Strikeforce debut.

I find that integrated Intel cards are generally very well supported. They aren't as powerful as discrete cards, but they are powerful enough to support unity. And usually better supported than either ATI or NVIDIA.
Xfce by design leaves out much of the eye candy of other systems. There aren't even fancy animations. The most you can get is 2D accelerated compositing if your driver supports it (most do), unless you are willing to install other software. You have to enable the compositing feature in XFCE's settings manager, and to my memory it will use hardware ...
glxgears stuck to 60fps may be due to VSync signal synchronization. Hope other benchmark application won't have same results, but depending on your graphic card you may bypass this.

What do rumors and gossip have to do with the truth? What if the rumor or the gossip is based in truth? What if the rumor is true altogether? Is it then okay to continue gossiping or relaying the rumor?
Recently I had the fortune of reading Ron C. Baker Sr's Rumors: The Ugly Side of Small Towns and Smaller Minds, in which he details his unfortunate and ugly experience of being a victim of a vicious rumor in his small town.
It was fortunate because, although his rumor was untrue, it got me thinking about lessons I had learned of those rumors or the gossip that occurs that can be justified by being "based in truth."
In Ron's situation, the rumor was that he had AIDS. For the record, although I think this is highly unimportant for the purposes of this rumors and gossip discussion, Ron does not have AIDS. This is however, most important for everyone to know regarding Ron's peace of mind so I want to make that clear. The first thing that came to mind was, "Well what if he did have AIDS? That would still be unacceptable to turn that into gossip or make a rumor of it." Look at some of the thought processes this poor man endured…
The problem is, how do I combat this rumor. Do I have to have an HIV test and have the results published in the local paper? that seems to be a little extreme, but i have thought about it. Do i just forget about it and wait for it to run its course? I just can't do that, because it is already showing signs of spreading and i think i have already seen its potential damage. I think that this thing is just getting wound-up, and I don't know what to do.
I wrote a series a while ago entitled "Words can Harm. Words can Heal." and in part 5, I address Gossip from a multi-dimensional angle and I encourage everyone who is the victim of Gossip to read it. I think it is very practical, beneficial, and most of all, it's based on my own painful experiences and healing from those experiences.
I am a recovering alcoholic, codependent, self-loather, and eating-disordered. This means that I was often at the whim of low self-esteem. I did not really have a "safe place" at home – because my home life was often in non-specific turmoil and my school life, being my social outlet of safety, was turned upside down due to a rumor.
It was an ugly rumor; One of the ugliest I'd ever heard and it was about me. The point of the rumor is not really that it was untrue, because what if it had been true? Much like the rumor about Mr. Baker, it matters very little that he really does not have AIDS – because what if he had? Would it then be excusable for the people with the small minds to continue with his violation? With lack of kindness and compassion?
If the rumor of me had been true, would then it be morally okay that people continue to gossip and participate in the rumor?
In the words of the Master shaken up a little…" Why not remove the plank from your own eye before attempting to try to discuss the grain of sand in someone else's eye?"
Those of you who are without your own faults, foibles, or dis-ease, then please go ahead and discuss someone else's. [The conundrum, of course, being that if you *are* faultless, you would not partake in such egregious acts.]
I like to think of the term "character assassination" when I think of rumors and gossip. It's easy to murder someone's character who is not around to defend themselves isn't it? It always tells me more about the person speaking than about the object of the rumor.
Gossip and rumors can be true. At the heart, it matters little whether it's true or not. We're all human and entitled to mistakes, lapses in judgment, self-deprecating errors, and yes, even getting sick with HIV. But it's not your truth to tell. It's just not. And if you can't understand why it's not your truth to tell then I would know straight away that you're so scared of your own truth, so scared that someone is going to notice your humanity, that you point the finger at others to detract from you.
So be careful what you say about another person. The universe is a perfect equalizer and it matters not if you don't believe this. The universe will know your fear as you gossip. The universe will know your fear as you spread a vicious rumor.
The universe will know your fear as you even try to dress it up as *concern.* The universe will not care whether you are speaking of the other person's truth as opposed to a lie. It will not care because as far as you and karma is concerned, it it all about you; Your motives, your attention, your intention, your fears, your truth.
Karma doesn't care whether the rumor is true. So when you try to dress up your gossip and okie-doke it's viability and necessity with "it's true so I can say it" ~ I can only hope that you remember this article when your truth that you'd have preferred to not be the subject of public fodder comes back upon your own doorstep.
Then perhaps you can begin your path to healing as well.

Arthur and his friends have a strict teacher, Mr. Ratburn. When the first Day of school was over, the bell rang and the students filled in alphabetical order from Room 13. Arthur then worries and talks to his friends That he couldn't even believe That his Teacher gave him and his friends some homework for the first Day, Then Prunella speaks to him That she had the rat last year and feels very sorry for him. Then Binky barnes told Arthur to make One wrong Old Move and his Teacher puts him on death row. Then Chris believes That he's really just a vampire with lots of magical powers, Before Arthur and the Children are ready to leave, The principal, Mr. Haine came out from his office and brought a Big trophy and asks everybody for the "September Spellathon". Then the crowd cheers loud by saying "YES!". Then Prunella asks everyone if she will win again This year. Then Francine whispers " not if I can help it". That afternoon, Arthur's Mother: Jane was making cookies When Arthur comes home from school and slams the back door. Then Mother asks how school was, Then Arthur grumbles That he got the strictest Teacher in the world. Then his Mother told him to have a chocolate chip cookie. Arthur would like to have a cookie, But he doesn't have time to eat One. Then his Little sister, D.W. says she'll eat his and has no homework. Then Arthur tells Her That she doesn't even go to school. Then D.W. Knows. After Dinner That Evening, Arthur was doing his homework making a map of Africa. Then D.W. believes That it looks just like a pepperoni pizza. Then D.W. told him that next year she would not have any homework cause Miss Meeker isn't giving it. Then Arthur calls his Mother like "MOM!" That his Sister was Being such a pest. Then his Mother told him that it was almost time for bed. By the next morning, Mr. Ratburn told Arthur's class that they would study harder than ever and they will be given a few words to study. Every week, Arthur's class studied harder than ever. Francine was reading Book called "Spelling Tricks and Tips" while drinking plum soda and wearing her movie star glasses. Muffy was busy doing work on the computer finding games, Buster was picking out a good luck charm. Then the Brain was taking a nap on top of the books. One Thursday, Arthur was in his tree house spending a lot of good time looking for some quiet places to study. On Friday, It was time for the best test, Arthur and his friends are busy spelling words, Once Arthur was taking the test, He could just hear Miss Sweatwater's Class making some popcorn. Then he also could hear Miss Fink's Class having a field trip to the aquarium. Then whispers to Francine "Why did we have to get stuck with the rat?". During Lunch, Mr. Ratburn corrected Arthur and his friends' Paper list of words. Then Muffy smiles, Francine starts having the hiccups and Buster patted his good luck charm. And soon, Mr. Ratburn clears his throat that the class representatives will be Arthur and the Brain, Then Muffy says that they're must be some mistake. Mr. Ratburn gives Arthur and his friend, the Brain, a list of spelling words and tells them to studied these and be ready for the all-school spellathon in two weeks. At home, Arthur's family decided to help him study. Grandma Thora asked him a bunch of words. Then his father asked him about chores like "C-H-O-R-E-S" and his Mother added that he made his bed like "B-E-D". When Arthur decided to study, D.W. helped by answering the door when Buster and Francine came over that Arthur couldn't play, but she can because she doesn't need to study. On Friday Night, Arthur's Grandma couldn't believe that the spellathon is finally here, Then D.W. suggests that She, Mother, Father and Grandma Thora should finally get a little peace and quiet, Then Arthur's parents say "Good luck" to him, From backstage when the people and the whole school filled in the auditorium, Mr. Ratburn is happy that today's the big day, The Brain feels fine then Arthur wishes that he was still back in bed, Later, The principal welcomed everyone and also explains the rules when the Brain had the first turn and spells "Fear" like "F-E-R-E" and was incorrect, The Brain asked if he was sure and asked what kind of dictionary he was using, Then Brain had disappeared like a ghost when the representatives from Mrs. Sweetwater's and Mrs. Fink's class had been gone in a flash from the chairs, Then Arthur and Prunella were left, It was Prunella's turn, Then Mr. Hanes says the word "Preparation" as Prunella starts staring at her feet and asks if she could have the definition and spells the word and knows the process of getting ready, Then Prunella spells the word "Preparation" like "P-R-E-P-" Then pauses and continues "E-R-A-T-I-O-N". It is incorrect and Arthur gets a chance to spell it. Arthur looks out over the audience and takes a little deep breath and says "P-R-E-P-A-R-A-T-I-O-N" and the principal says "CORRECT!" as Mr. Ratburn's class cheers so loudly. Then Mr. Ratburn went to the microphone and reveals that this was the last third grade that he will have in the spellathon, But next year, He looked forward to a new challenge teaching kindergarten when D.W. looks a little surprised and frightened about school.[citation needed]
Computer game[edit]
The book was adapted into a computer game by Living Books in October 18, 1996,[3] and later turned into an app in 2012.[4] It is the first of five Arthur books to be adapted into a computer game, and the second game released from the Living Books series.[5][6] Unlike the television series, which separated the original book into two mini-episodes, the game keeps the story as one.
Television episodes[edit]
The title was also adapted into two television episodes in the Arthur TV series. They were titled as "Arthur and the Real Mr. Ratburn" and "Arthur's Spelling Trubble." The episodes aired together, on September 9, 1996. VHS releases of "Arthur and the Real Mr. Ratburn" change the title card to "Arthur's Teacher Trouble" to reference the original book.
Initial critical reception for the book was mostly positive, with the Living Books adaptation being particularly praised.[3][7][8][9] Later critical reviews expressed concern over the media effects of the book, with David Wray stating in Literacy: Major Themes in Education that much of the effects were "incongruent to the story".[10] Matt Jackson of the Children's Literature Association commented that the Living Book software's features gave off the impression that "passivity is bad" questioned the product's packaging phrasing of "Children don't just read them. They live them.", in that it inferred that books were inferior to CD-Roms.[11]
Jackson also criticized the book's usage of stereotypes, such as Arthur's teacher Mr. Ratburn being a "stereotypical male teacher — a mean disciplinarian, a student's worst fear".[11] Ann Trousdale also criticized the stereotyping of Ratburn, writing that he "dominates and oppresses his students" and almost a caricature.[12]

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Hot on the heels of the announcement that Superman and Wonder Woman will become a romantic couple in Justice League #12, Glen Weldon from National Public Radio's Monkey See blog has "intercepted a series of texts" between BigRedESS and 1derWymyn that suggest how long this relationship will last. Visit the link for the whole, sordid conversation, but here's a taste:
BigRedESS (5:50 a.m.): wow you got out of bed fast
BigRedESS (5:51 a.m.): mouthwash is in the medicine cabinet top left
1derWymyn (5:52 a.m.): DUDE. WHY ARE YOU TEXTING ME? I AM RIGHT HERE.
BigRedESS (5:52 a.m.): goooood moooorning!!!!!!!!!!
BigRedESS (5:52 a.m.): ?
BigRedESS (5:52 a.m.): u r shouting at me now but u r still cute not a morning person i guess ok lol
1derWymyn (5:53 a.m.): OKAY SINCE YOU ARE NOT ANSWERING MY QUESTION WE'LL DO IT THIS WAY. HOW DID YOU KNOW I WAS LOOKING FOR THE MOUTHWASH? ARE YOU X-RAY VISION-ING ME? IN THE BATHROOM? SERIOUSLY?
1derWymyn (5:55 a.m.): NO ANSWER?
BigRedESS (5:56 a.m.): lucky guess
BigRedESS (6:00 a.m.): u were great last nite :O
BigRedESS (6:01 a.m.): hello?
BigRedESS (6:02 a.m.): helloooooo? my amazon princess? xxoo
BigRedESS (6:03 a.m.): haha you flew out the bathroom window lol u r funny too
Wow. My tax dollars at work. Thanks NPR, you suck.
Such a terrible cover. The posture is so stiff as to convey neither tenderness, romance, nor eroticism, and Wonder Woman's waist is drawn narrower than her thighs. What's up with that?
Wow Chap!
Yes, the NPR post was silly but I'd like to see you complain the next time I get my cable bill and wonder why I subsidize Fox News–a channel owned by a bunch of non-US born citizens or businesses and that lies 24 hrs a day and actually makes people stupider than if they watched no TV at all.
Please argue that Chap or let NPR off with what was an admittedly silly yet harmless post.
My IQ just went down
Ah, Glen Weldon, the epitome of pretentious snark.
NPR's great. But they're wrong, the two wouldn't have any post lovemaking talk. Superman would kiss her, Wonder Woman would forget they ever had sex and that would be that.
That was absolutely dreadful.
What's sad is that Glen Weldon actually thought "Yes, this is funny right here! Time to post!"
Whoever came up with those lousy excuses for entertainment had to have been out of his head.
Who said I like Fox News? They suck too. Cancel your cable if don't like it. I'm not paying for your cable bill.
whats sad is I'm sure the actual issue will be as bad as what I just read…..
Wow, NPR listeners have no sense of humor at all.

Eye Health Center
Dry Eye Syndrome - Topic Overview
What is dry eye syndrome?
Dry eye syndrome is a problem involving your tears.
Your eyes need tears to stay clean and healthy. Tears are made by glands behind your upper eyelid. Every time you blink, the tears are pushed across your eye, keeping it moist. They flow into tiny openings, called tear ducts , in the inner corners of your eyelids, where they drain away.
With dry eye syndrome, your tear glands don't make enough tears or your tears evaporate too fast.
This problem is more common in older adults and in those with certain diseases, such as diabetes, allergic conjunctivitis, or Sjögren's syndrome.
Dry eye syndrome may go away with treatment. But for some people, it can be a lifetime problem.
What causes dry eye syndrome?
Dry eyes can be caused by everyday things, like being outdoors in the wind and sun, staring at a computer screen, or just being tired. Being around cigarette smoke may also cause dry eyes.
Other possible causes include:
- Certain medicines, such as antihistamines and some antidepressants.
- Wearing contact lenses for too many hours at a time.
- Certain eye surgeries, such as LASIK.
For many people, it's just part of getting older.
What are the symptoms?
When your eyes are too dry, they feel itchy, scratchy, and irritated.
How are dry eyes diagnosed?
An eye doctor can usually tell that you have dry eye syndrome during a regular exam and hearing about your symptoms.
In some cases, you may have a special test to see if your eyes are making enough tears.
How is it treated?
To help soothe your dry eyes, you can try artificial-tear eyedrops or ointments that you can buy over the counter. Don't use eyedrops that are meant to treat red, bloodshot eyes. Those might make your eyes feel worse.
You can also try to blink a lot, especially if you spend a lot of time staring at a computer screen.
Limit your time in air-conditioned or heated rooms. Try a humidifier in rooms where you spend a lot of time. Wearing sunglasses can help protect your eyes from wind and sun.

John Wagner and Arthur Ransonâs creator-owned crime thriller, Button Man, is deservedly regarded as one of the greatest strips ever to be published in 2000 AD. Optioned by Dreamworks for a big screen adaptation directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, this is the first time the three volumes have been collected together. An ex-soldier and mercenary, Harry Exton was a human-killing machine without a vocation, until an old colleague told him about âThe Gameâ. The players, known as âButton Menâ, are paid to fight to the death in a modern-day gladiatorial contest. Organised by mysterious backers known as âVoicesâ, the killing game offers bountiful financial rewards... if you live. Harry decides to participate, but soon discovers that death offers the only way out!

Published July 19, 2010
"Louie, these are toxic times in the valley" a friend said to me today.
"Everyone's suspicious."
As we know, the super secret, super special, multi-connected, un-biased-biased, grand,Grand,GRAND jury investigations and queries will soon turn to non-indictments of some and indictments of others.
"It's like McCarthyism...give someone up and we'll be easier on you..." said another.
It's got to be a really interesting time for high-level law enforcers as many run to be first to turn someone else in - not unlike musical chairs , except, the one w/o a chair gets prison time.
Politicos,wanna-bees and Sly and the Family Stone's everyday peoplestill ask ME "who are the feds targeting,Louie...you should know...who are they asking you about?"
What do you think? - they gave me paper targets with people's photos on them + a half dozen blood-dipped darts?
One of the many problems in this area is that too many - too often (as in my case) think they know all of the 'whos' and 'whys'. I've had folks tell ME supposed 'facts' regarding my case that I (obviously) KNOW aren't accurate-yet they tell me their sources are "irrefutable"
Hey, sorry to dissapoint y'all but other than me ("...neither corrupt nor a public official...") I truly don't know who's being targeted. What I do know is that, once again, this area-the Mahoning Valley's- going through a partial cleansing.
The rumours abound - if every person who's supposedly "flipped"(turned, or given up others to save themselves) there won't be anyone left to prosecute-and THAT would leave a lot of folks VERY UNsatisfied. Political blood-lust for some, vengence and revenge for some and just Schadenfreude for others
Unfortunatly, there are some in this area that have been so focused on looking up the skirts of others, that they've forgoten why they're where they are today,AND what they are-in some cases-sworn to do.
Please do not misunderstand - this area's still rife with corruption - and we certainly DO need another cleansing - but nothing gets really clean when you wash with dirty water .
"...while the city's streets still run red with it's children's blood..."
My question to you Louie is who did you try to flip on when you were under the hot light?
if you paid attention - you'd understand.
my case went FORWARD !
Read the blog again, this time, WITHOUT your bias,m'am or sir
Did you pay your taxes as you were supposed to?

We stayed here for 3 days and we felt very much at home and welcome. Jesse and Rich did an amazing job in building the place as well as in taking care of their guests. They provided us with information about things to do in Nairobi and Jesse patiently answered all our questions regarding safety. She organized our shuttle bus down to and even booked our accommodation in Arusha.
We booked a double room (#1). It was nice and clean. Although a little noisy when people leave early (sometimes before dawn). Apart of that we were very happy whith the place. The food was delicious, all employees were very friendly and outgoing, and we felt very safe.
The cab from the city center was about KSH1000.

Portfolio Positioning for the Coming Week: Risks and Opportunities
This article is a slightly different version of my weekly "Setting Up for the Opening Bell" series. It combines a review of this week's activity with a preview of next week's, and is supplemented with a thought-provoking sharing of actual positions along with key ideas that are driving our investment decisions.
All week long I've been trumpeting the horn of "political will", arguing that the markets face a heightened level of risk overall largely due to the question surrounding whether or not politicians (and in this, I broadly include all financial officials with policy implication jobs) would do as they say…or not. In colloquial terms: would they 'walk the talk' or not?!
The key to knowing what currency exposure to tolerate in one's portfolio, for example, is now, more than ever, driven by how you assess the likelihood of countries such as Japan, US, China and the EU getting together to multi-laterally deal with what is quickly becoming an all-out currency war of "devaluation-to-deter-deflation".
It was challenging to have these trumpeted sounds resonate while
the world anticipated the NFP data release, being that consensus,
rightly, holds that the problem in the US is about three things:
jobs, jobs and jobs!
And the skittishness of markets was probably most evident on Tuesday when the market soared almost 200 points largely due to a slight uptick in Non-Manufacturing ISM data, an outsized move for a number that is not your usual market moving factoid! That market reaction led me to publish a giant "caveat emptor" within which I had the following graph ( click to enlarge ) that points out just how modest this up-move in Non-Mftg ISM was and therefore just how seemingly absurd was the market's response to it!
(Source: ChartFacts.com)
Friday's NFP data can be summed up in one word: BAD! Or maybe two words: REALLY BAD!
One could try to find a silver lining, but you'd have to try
very hard. The mere 67k increase in private sector jobs was below
expectations and barely puts a dent in the massive private sector
unemployment situation. The collapse of government jobs, down 159k,
could only partly be explained by the elimination of Census
workers, but more troubling was the 76k component that reflected
state and local government job losses.
click to enlarge
The markets had a funny (or not so funny) reaction to the data…a quick up-trade on futures both here and in European markets, probably on the hope that the weak employment data would spur the Fed to launch QE2 that much sooner. But that mild euphoric reaction didn't last long and markets reversed course heading south into the US open. Then, with the positive news from the ECRI Weekly Leading Index coming out, the markets headed back up with the Dow piercing the 11,000 mark where it flirted most of the day (closing a tad above 11,006).
One has to wonder: Are market participants so giddy with the
prospect of more quantitative easing by the Fed and by other
central banks that they're willing to take stocks higher in an
uninterrupted fashion?
But if history teaches us anything, it's that wars of any sort are cause for concern…..and we are in the middle of a global currency "devalue-to-deter-deflation" conflagration!
- Have market participants read the plethora of pieces on the debate as to whether QE will work or not?
- Or whether the more effective stimulus would be job-creating fiscal spending?
- Have they thought about Friday's WSJ article that highlighted some notions within the Fed (and elsewhere) that suggest that the best way for the Fed to fight deflation is to over- inflate the economy for some time….drive inflation higher , thereby lowering real interest rates, and thereby discouraging saving and promoting spending?
- How about the pressure that Congress and Geithner are putting on China…will China show up for our USTsy auctions?
These are just some of the all-important questions that investors need to be asking…..and answering!
In addition to that, the markets would be right to focus on the earnings parade that was started on Thursday evening by Alcoa ( AA ) with its earnings beat and optimistic outlook. That's good news. And Friday's ECRI Leading Index is good news. But both should be taken in the context of this week's disappointing ADP private sector job report (down 39k) and Friday's troubling NFP (down 95k).
Furthermore, this weekend's G20/IMF meetings could cause considerable market movements depending on whether "political will" manifests itself in the form of a multi-lateral program for dealing with competitive devaluations or in the form of a free-for-all where open warfare is the effective modus operandi for now. This would not be a weekend to defuse from the market madness of the past week, but rather to stay glued to word coming out of DC.
As for the coming week (Week of Oct 11), the calendar of economic data is chock full of inflation and retail sales indicators, as well as sentiment indicators, most of it back loaded at the end of the week. More in focus is likely to be the steady stream of earnings that will be coming out through the week.

Portfolio Thoughts
(BEAR IN MIND: this is NOT in any way meant to be investment advice! It is merely some food for thought. Each investor is responsible for his/her own investment decisions and should not take what is in this article as advice as to what is appropriate for their unique situation. The comments in this section reflect positions in accounts that we manage for our clients. Our client accounts are tailor made for each investor based his/her unique financial profile and risk tolerance. Please read the disclaimer at the end of this article and remember that opinions expressed here can change without notice):
- Beware of the market overall . The market's love-fest this week with otherwise uninspiring data is troubling. Too much seems to be made of the likely effectiveness of QE2 should it happen. And rallying the US stock market as a result of higher commodity prices that are driven by a weaker USD, seems to us to have the 'causal effect' going the wrong way. I'd feel much better if strong US growth led to strong equities which in turn drove commodities higher…but that doesn't seem to be the situation. That said, frequent readers will know that I've been adding to my equity exposure on market dips, focusing my buying on global companies who have meaningful amounts of their business in Emerging Markets and in developed countries around the world, such as Caterpillar ( CAT ) and Deere & Co. (DE.) I also own Australia, Asia ex-Japan, Brazil, Germany, China and the BRICs ETFs. In addition I have some direct exposure such as Telefonica ( TEF ), Vodafone ( VOD ), Teva ( TEVA ) and Petroleo Brasileiro ( PBR ). My cash position, which is still rather large, is being patiently placed on the sidelines with the hope of taking advantage of any market pullbacks that we expect to face, especially given how choppy rather than trendy the markets have been.
- Beware of banks . The "mortgage foreclosure fiasco" could snowball into something awful for banks. Pelosi's call for the Justice Department's investigation into big names such as Bank of America ( BAC ) and JP Morgan ( JPM ) could keep them and others under pressure. I am long (very) Citigroup ( C ) despite these concerns, though, as I anticipate that government ownership is coming to an end, and many signs point to the 'bad bank' component delivering on their mission of ridding C of its toxic assets.
- On my "wish I owned" and "wish I owned more of" lists, I have names such as FedEx ( FDX ), Cummins ( CMI ), 3M ( MMM ) and Posco ( PKX ). I'm watching each closely and determining appropriate entry levels. The market waters have gotten choppy...very choppy. Navigating them successfully is going to require a broader, more global view.
Disclosure: Long: C, MMM, CAT, DE, EWZ, EWG, TEF, VOD, TEVA, PBR, EWA, FXI, BRXX, GMF. Could trade any of these and others mentioned in the article soon
