more sickle bar cub 22 quetionsthe blade thats attached to pitman bar and clamp on cub 22 slips right out cutter bar when put up in transport position is there something missing to keep this in place? thanks Chuck
Re: more sickle bar cub 22 quetionsChuck, I'm not sure I understand your question. Is the ball on the end of the cutter bar slipping out of the straps? If so, here is a page from the manual, you may be missing the spring.

Re: more sickle bar cub 22 quetionsMy parts catalog is not convenient at the moment. The images are small on my screen in the online version and I may have listed the wrong part. In the diagram, #11 is Cap, Knife Head Rear with part number M 2 664 or ME 652 depending on the date of your mower. This part, or one of those near it, has an ear that projects to hold the cutter bar from falling too low when raised for transport. Look on your mower in that area for a place where a piece has broken off.
Luck favors those who are prepared
Re: more sickle bar cub 22 quetionsBus Driver...I was thinking the same thing...but I couldn't find an appropriate photo to show it.
My mower is missing the "ear" and doesn't stay up either. Dave

Re: more sickle bar cub 22 quetionsThanks for responding i looked it online with your help I have an idea what to look for
Re: more sickle bar cub 22 quetionsChuck, After Busdriver's reply, I went out and looked at mine. At the pittman end of the bar, there is a piece of metal that is at the end of the bar. It runs the same direction as the hold downs. At the outer end of it , it is bent up at 90* for about 3/4". One side of the two straps holding the ball has a projection that extends out from the center of the cup. This projection hits the bent up lip on the bar. I would bet that is what is missing. Hope that makes sense.
Bob Edit: Here is the parts page that I think was being referenced by Busdriver, as he said #11 doesn't show up too well: Last edited by Bob McCarty on Wed Aug 15, 2012 4:20 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Re: more sickle bar cub 22 quetionsBeen there! Done that! Something might well be broken. Take a look at the rear most part of the sicklebar stationary assembly at the base. There's a casting held on by 2 bolts. The most inward part of this piece -- which holds in the bar as it goes back n' forth -- has a vertical component. This vertical component (which was missing on my tractor for 20 years) holds the bar from falling down. This is Winfield's "ear."
Columbia Tractor in Claverack, NY, had the part for me. Your zipcode suggests you might be within their range. Talk to Mike in Parts. He knows. Yet, for 20 some years I roped the pitman bar up to hold everything in place when the assembly went vertical for traveling.
Re: more sickle bar cub 22 quetionsWhile I have not tried it, a piece of dry wood roughly round in shape about 1" diameter and about 12" long could be held between two of the knives and reasonably tight against one of the guards on the side of the guard nearer the tractor then held with a short bungee cord around the back of the cutter bar assembly. This would be placed while the bar is down in working position and then when the bar is raised for transport, the wood will limit the travel of the cutter assembly and not damage the knives. Removal before use would of course be necessary.
Luck favors those who are prepared
Re: more sickle bar cub 22 quetionsThanks for all the help so far.So how do you determine date mower was made? are their dates or codes stamped into the casting?
Re: more sickle bar cub 22 quetionsok as i mentioned i had two mowers so i went out and looked a the 2nd and the winfield ear is missing on that one but the one hooked to the 1950 does not have the plate or the ear. Well I ordered them all and a few other parts from Townline Equipment in Plainfield NH which I have dealt with before on some parts. They are very helpful and quick with delivery and everything was in stock. I want to thank everybody fo their help. I don"t post alot but I read the post and so many times I go aha that how thats done, thats where it goes, thanks again

Ordered LED Lenser P7.2 with free delivery arrived two days later. Very pleased with my purchase and the service provided by FFX Tools
I returned a pair to an oakley outlet store after the ones they provided were in the wrong box, with the wrong case and with the wrong spare lenses which didn't fit the frames; poor service from the oakley store.
I read all the reviews for RXsport and took the plunge ordering the same model split jackets from them slightly cheaper than the oakley outlet store. RXsport communications were excellent keeping me up to date with the progress of my order. The glasses arrived well packed ensuring the enclosed glasses were suitably protected. I am extreamly happy with my purchase and service I received, well done RXsport on your customer service and thank you to everyone who has previously left reviews that gave me the confidence to use the excellent Internet retailer.

Dempster-Epstein chat fuels speculation
CHICAGO -- So far, the only changes coming with Chicago Cubs pitcher Ryan Dempster have to do with his next start, although on Wednesday afternoon it looked like it could be more than that.
After Dempster was viewed in full uniform during early batting practice chatting with president of baseball operations Theo Epstein, while both were seated in the stands, early speculation centered on trade talk.
The subject of their discussion remains unknown, although the Cubs announced that Dempster's next start will be moved from Saturday to Friday to keep him pitching every fifth day. To accommodate the move, Jeff Samardzija's next start will be moved back a day to Saturday, giving him a full week between outings.
Manager Dale Sveum said the move was done to keep Dempster on schedule since he is pitching well and to give Samardzija a breather after he was roughed up this past weekend in Minnesota. The Cubs are also lining up their rotation for matchup purposes down the road in series against the White Sox and Arizona Diamondbacks next week.
How much longer Dempster remains in the starting rotation is in doubt. His name comes up most often in trade speculation.
As a player with 10 years of experience and the last five with the same team, Dempster has the right to veto any deal. It's possible Dempster and Epstein were clearing the air on what teams the pitcher would agree to be traded to but that is purely speculation.
Speculation, though, tends to run rampant this time of the year leading into the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline.
"It's one of those things that comes up every year for every team whether you're contending or not contending and if you have valuable players it's going to come up," Sveum said. "It's just the way it is. The players know that. You talk to them individually.
"Some guys maybe haven't had their name out there before and all of a sudden it's out there. So it becomes sometimes a distraction to players and sometimes they understand this happens every year. It's nothing that hasn't happened in the history of baseball, it's just when you're in these situations your names are going to come up quite a bit."

This is only somewhat related but I have to tell the story. After locking myself out repeatedly when ds was a baby I thought I was cured of Mommy Brain. No. Yesterday I got a pill out to give to the cat when I decided I would like a glass of water. When I left the kitchen I realised I no longer had the pill in my hand......yes, I took the cat's medication.

From the series "The earth seen from the space", oil on canvas. 50 × 50 cm.
The first time I used Google Earth was fantastic. I could not believe that someone had photographed the entire planet, and that the exploration of this world was accessible to all. Browsing by chance I discovered amazing sceneries, looking at the city streets from far away I could accomplish wonderful virtual travels. I discover unexpected color blends at the mouths of the rivers or along the coast of the sea, shades that make uncertain the border between land and water. The cultivated fields create a dense mosaic of colors. The view from a great distance reduces the details and makes possible a new form of representation of the landscape. Basically, the only thing that is changed is the point of view.

Can you set the video?
11th May 2005
Video recorders and child car seats have topped a list of items in everyday life which people find most difficult to use.
In a research study carried out by leading user-experience consultancy User Vision, setting the video to record and installing a child car seat were cited as the most popular sources of consumer frustration, followed by digital TV systems, digital cameras, washing machines, dishwashers and tin-openers.
The research asked 500 consumers to name the items in everyday life which they found most difficult to use. Difficult-to-open packaging appeared regularly in the research—particularly for such items as batteries, orange juice, milk, tinned corned beef, CD and DVD players, razors, and Easter eggs. Adhesive tape was also a popular choice, with the inability to find the 'end' a major bug bear for several people.
In addition to car seats, several other children's items fared badly on the usability stakes, including toy packaging, push chairs and non-disposable nappies. Domestic appliances such as central heating systems, digital alarm clocks and microwaves were also popular choices.
The research also revealed that the technology age is proving difficult for many to get to grips with. Handheld computers, PDA's and all-in-one printing/copying machines came up regularly, as did several web sites – with online supermarkets and train company sites the most regularly criticised.
Chris Rourke, director of User Vision, comments:
"It's amazing that with all the technology we have at our disposal that could make products easier to use, many everyday items still manage to frustrate consumers. While some of these items, video recorders for example, have been superseded by more advanced and more usable technology, the fact remains that millions of people still own one. It's also interesting to note that the design of many of these items has not moved on in several years, and some of the poor interfaces have been inherited by relatively new innovations such as digital cameras and set-top boxes.
"Ease of use is becoming increasingly important as everyday items become more sophisticated and it is a key criteria for consumers when shopping. Manufacturers should be looking at the basic mistakes they are making with their product design, listening to the frustrations of consumers and usability testing their products during development."
The research was carried out in May 2005 by User Vision, a company which consults companies on how to make products and services usable. The study asked a 500 cross section of the UK public to rate, from a list of 40, the five items in everyday life which they find most difficult to use.
The top 10 least usable items were as follows:
Item | Percentage* |
1. Video Recorders | 60% |
2. Child car seats | 53% |
3. Digital TV systems | 50% |
4. Digital cameras | 41% |
5. Washing machines/dishwashers | 37% |
6. Tin-openers | 26% |
7. Packaging | 21% |
8. Central heating systems | 18% |
9. Handheld computers | 17% |
10. Non-disposable nappies | 12% |
* % of people rating item in top 5 least usable

They like to site big modern telescope well away from street lights and pollution, and in places without many clouds. That cuts your options quite a bit. Then they like to have the minimum of air turbulence. Have you seen a mirage over a hot road? You get a similar effect, but smaller, whenever you have air movement. So they like to put telescopes in places with smooth air flow, which tends to mean the tops of mountains. So the three best sites in the world are La Palma, Mauna Kea in Hawaii, and La Silla in the Andes in Chile.

A Line by Line Analysis of Jodie Foster's Golden Globes Speech
12:35 pm, January 14th | by Colette McIntyre
The Golden Globes were last night and usually we're not ones to brag, but we were right about a lot of things. Some host-on-Clooney action? Check. A Clinton appearance? Check. A Sarah Palin impression? Almost! Tina and Amy were unsurprisingly amazing as hosts but the real scene-stealer was Jodie Foster's rambling acceptance speech for the Cecil B. DeMille award for lifetime achievement in film. It was witty; it was emotional; it was a climatic coming out (…we think?). We just had to take a closer look at it this morning.
Robert Downey Jr. presented a reel of Jodie Foster's career that was seemingly edited together by some Axe commercial director — it was XTREME — and inexplicably opened with a scene from Panic Room. After some applause, Jodie took the stage in an intergalactic chainmail gown (that we loved) and held nothing back:
"Well, for all of you 'SNL' fans, I'm 50! I'm 50!"
Okay, starting off with a pop culture allusion, I like that. Celebrities — they're just like us! Also, important to remember: SNL quotes go over a lot better than lines from The First Wives Club.
"You know, I need to do that without this dress on, but you know, maybe later at Trader Vic's, boys and girls. What do you say? I'm 50! You know, I was going to bring my walker tonight but it just didn't go with the cleavage."
Evidently Trader Vic's is a chain of Polynesian-themed restaurants and not a bourgeois version of Trader Joe's, which was what I originally thought. Foster's constant harping on her age made me both uncomfortable and smugly happy, as if Jodie Foster was some renegade operative meant to take Hollywood down from the inside by revealing all of the industry's prejudices and hypocrisies. "Hollywood hates old people!" (And by "people", I mean "women", obviously.)
"Robert [Downey Jr.], I want to thank you for everything: for your bat-crazed, rapid-fire brain, the sweet intro. I love you and Susan and I am so grateful that you continually talk me off the ledge when I go on and foam at the mouth and say, 'I'm done with acting, I'm done with acting, I'm really done, I'm done, I'm done.'"
Foaming at the mouth?! I thought Robert left all that stuff behind in the '90s! Seriously though, I love that Jodie Foster and Robert Downey Jr. are good friends; now I have dreams of shacking up in a cabin with the two of them for a weekend, listening to them swap stories of drunken Harvey Weinstein antics, all of us wearing pajama jeans and shelling peas.
"Trust me, 47 years in the film business is a long time. You just ask those Golden Globes, because you crazy kids, you've been around here forever. You know, Phil you're a nut, Aida, Scott — thank you for honoring me tonight. It is the most fun party of the year, and tonight I feel like the prom queen."
47 years! Lindsay Lohan has barely survived a decade! You go, Jodie Coco! You deserve to feel like a prom queen.
"Thank you. Looking at all those clips, you know, the hairdos and the freaky platform shoes, it's like a home-movie nightmare that just won't end, and all of these people sitting here at these tables, they're my family of sorts, you know. Fathers mostly. Executives, producers, the directors, my fellow actors out there, we've giggled through love scenes, we've punched and cried and spit and vomited and blown snot all over one another — and those are just the costars I liked."
And to think that all that's just what she did with Jared Leto! If only you knew the zany hijinks she got into with Sir Anthony Hopkins.
"But, you know, more than anyone else, I share my most special memories with members of the crew. Blood-shaking friendships, brothers and sisters. We made movies together, and you can't get more intimate than that."
"So while I'm here being all confessional, I guess I have a sudden urge to say something that I've never really been able to air in public."
"So, a declaration that I'm a little nervous about but maybe not quite as nervous as my publicist right now, huh Jennifer?"
"But I'm just going to put it out there, right? Loud and proud, right? So I'm going to need your support on this."
"I am single. Yes I am, I am single."
"No, I'm kidding — but I mean I'm not really kidding, but I'm kind of kidding. I mean, thank you for the enthusiasm. Can I get a wolf whistle or something?"
Oh, Jodie; you saucy woman, you!
"…be a big coming-out speech tonight because I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago back in the Stone Age, in those very quaint days when a fragile young girl would open up to trusted friends and family and co-workers and then gradually, proudly to everyone who knew her, to everyone she actually met."
Oh! The ol' bait and switch at it again! She just came out! …Right? That's what just happened? Did that just happen? Guys?
"You know, you guys might be surprised, but I am not Honey Boo Boo Child. No, I'm sorry, that's just not me. It never was and it never will be. Please don't cry because my reality show would be so boring. I would have to make out with Marion Cotillard or I'd have to spank Daniel Craig's bottom just to stay on the air. It's not bad work if you can get it, though. But seriously, if you had been a public figure from the time that you were a toddler, if you'd had to fight for a life that felt real and honest and normal against all odds, then maybe you too might value privacy above all else. Privacy. Someday, in the future, people will look back and remember how beautiful it once was. I have given everything up there from the time that I was 3-years-old. That's reality-show enough, don't you think?"
I think Jodie Foster just told us all to go to hell and I DON'T EVEN CARE, SHE'S FLAWLESS. It's important to remember that celebrities don't owe us anything — explanations of their sexuality, photos of their children, or even wearing underwear on the red carpet. Celebrities: you do you!
"There are a few secrets to keeping your psyche intact over such a long career. The first, love people and stay beside them. That table over there, 222, way out in Idaho, Paris, Stockholm, that one, next to the bathroom with all the unfamous faces, the very same faces for all these years. My acting agent, Joe Funicello — Joe, do you believe it, 38 years we've been working together? Even though he doesn't count the first eight. Matt Saver, Pat Kingsley, Jennifer Allen, Grant Niman and his uncle Jerry Borack, may he rest in peace. Lifers. My family and friends here tonight and at home, and of course, Mel Gibson. You know you save me too."
I was with her until that last line, then I made a confused noise reminiscent of Scooby Doo. Why are we being nice to Mel Gibson?
"There is no way I could ever stand here without acknowledging one of the deepest loves of my life, my heroic co-parent, my ex-partner in love but righteous soul sister in life, my confessor, ski buddy, consigliere, most beloved BFF of 20 years, Cydney Bernard. Thank you, Cyd. I am so proud of our modern family. Our amazing sons, Charlie and Kit, who are my reason to breathe and to evolve, my blood and soul. And boys, in case you didn't know it, this song, all of this, this song is for you. This brings me to the greatest influence of my life, my amazing mother, Evelyn. Mom, I know you're inside those blue eyes somewhere and that there are so many things that you won't understand tonight. But this is the only important one to take in: I love you, I love you, I love you. And I hope that if I say this three times, it will magically and perfectly enter into your soul, fill you with grace and the joy of knowing that you did good in this life. You're a great mom. Please take that with you when you're finally OK to go."
OH GOD, ALL THE TEARS. I AM CRYING AGAIN JUST READING THIS. I AM CRYING THE SAME UGLY TEARS I CRY WHEN I HEAR PHILIP PHILIPS' "HOME" WHICH MAKES EMOTIONAL BECAUSE IT REMINDS ME OF THE OLYMPICS. When watching this last night, I wept from this point on through the rest of the speech until the commercials. And just when I was gaining my composure again, a Google Chrome ad came on. Google Chrome commercials always make me weep and it's because they literally know exactly what will make me cry. They have that information. They know all our weaknesses and that we once searched "why do people get lonely" when we were drunk.
"This feels like the end of one era and the beginning of something else. Scary and exciting and now what? Well, I may never be up on this stage again, on any stage for that matter. Change, you gotta love it. I will continue to tell stories, to move people by being moved, the greatest job in the world. It's just that from now on, I may be holding a different talking stick. And maybe it won't be as sparkly, maybe it won't open on 3,000 screens, maybe it will be so quiet and delicate that only dogs can hear it whistle. But it will be my writing on the wall."
Everyone thinks that this is the moment when Jodie Foster announces her retirement but it seems pretty clear to me that she is sharing her plans to work on smaller, perhaps artier, films and acknowledging that this act in her career may be filled with less accolades and openings and PR brouhaha. This is the part of the speech that you would hashtag "real talk."
"Jodie Foster was here, I still am, and I want to be seen, to be understood deeply and to be not so very lonely. Thank you, all of you, for the company. Here's to the next 50 years."
"I want to be seen, to be understood deeply and to be not so very lonely and to not be so very lonely." Damn girl; like Google Chrome, you get me. Jodie Foster, you are one helluva dame. You got moxie and I like that. Your speech may have been meandering, but it was also brave and honest and kind of perfect. It went exactly where it needed to go.

Rubbed Ribs
Notes: These ribs were part of an August 1993 story on Texas barbecue, where barbecue means slow-cooked smoked meats with sauce. Back ribs are cut from the pork loin; sometimes they're called baby back ribs. Metal rib racks are available where barbecue equipment is sold.
Yield: Makes 6 servings

- 3 tablespoons ground California or New Mexico chilies
- 3 tablespoons paprika
- 1 1/2 tablespoons pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- About 4 pounds pork back ribs
- Sweet and tangy sauce
- 1. In a bowl, pour enough hot water over wood chips to make them float. Drain chips to add to barbecue.
- 2. Mix ground chilies, paprika, pepper, and salt.
- 3. Wipe ribs with a damp towel, then rub all over with the chili mixture.
- 4. Prepare barbecue for indirect heat.
- If using charcoal briqiets, mound and ignite 40 briquets on the firegrate of a barbecue with a lid. When briquets are dotted with gray ash, in 15 to 20 minutes, push equal amounts to opposite sides of firegrate. Add 5 more briquets to each mound of coals now and every 30 minutes while cooking. Set a drip pan on firegrate between coals.
- If using a gas barbecue, turn all burners to high and close lid for 10 minutes. Adjust burners for indirect cooking (no heat down center) and reduce heat to low.
- For charcoal smoke, add 1/2 cup soaked wood chips with the 5 briquets every 30 minutes of cooking. For gas smoke, as soon as you turn on heat, place 1 cup soaked wood chips in the barbecue's metal smoking box or in a small, shallow foil pan directly on heat in a corner of the firegrate; add 1 more cup chips after each hour of cooking.
- Set barbecue grill in place.
- 5. Lay ribs on grill but not directly over heat. If there is not enough space for all the ribs, set them upright in a metal rib rack on grill but not directly over heat. Cover barbecue (open vents for charcoal) and cook until meat pulls easily from bones, about 2 1/2 hours. You don't need to turn ribs on a charcoal barbecue, but on a gas barbecue turn ribs occasionally, even in metal rack.
- 6. Transfer ribs to a large platter; cut between bones and serve with sweet and tangy sauce

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but: http://yaraon.blog109.fc2.com/blog-entry-11512.html The series has been cut back to 14 episodes. (edit: This was a misunderstanding of the Japanese article and is not true.) Last edited by relentlessflame; 2012-08-28 at 17:48. |

What is this exactly? Doujin game made for a now-public domain platform? I'm a little disappointed that there's no gameplay footage (imagines the cast Kokoro Connect in a Super Mario Bros-style 8-bit platformer!) |

It's interesting to see Tari Tari doing very well in pre-orders (it looks as if it might clear 10K) while KC is struggling. The shows are very different despite their superficial similarities, and I like them both about equally - but TT obviously matches up with the profile of shows that appeal to otaku a lot better than KC does.

Yep, very bad news. This is one of the shows I'm liking the most this season. Sure the format sounded a bit odd from the beginning, I mean, 17 episodes, last 4 of which not aired.
So, looking at the numbers I suppose they will skip the next arc to jump directly to the last one. Given the arc structure of the story I don't think that merge two arcs is viable.

Oh God, you croakers
It's regarding a VA named Ichiki Mitsuhiro, who they played a prank on for the purpose of the Kokoro Connect pre-air talk show that was streamed on NicoNico before the series started, in which Ichiki was told he was auditioning to act in the series but then afterwords revealed he was really going to have the job of driving the Kokoro Connect promotional van around cities to promote the show. The tweet in the yaraon post said that Ichiki will be acting in the actual show after all from episode 14 onward. But the tweet was deleted for some reason. The yaraon blog comment is just, "Huh, wonder why they deleted it? Didn't sound like a bad thing." And that's the entire story. |

I'm guessing it must be really bad auto-translate or something. Just got here now, but yeah -- it was obviously false. The official website still lists disc 7.
I stroked out the bad rumour post, but wondering if it's better to delete the interim posts to avoid further misunderstanding.

Taichi's apology finally came, but - as expected - to late, to little. The damage was already done, and Inaban had already decided to distance herself. If he'd apologised right away, he could've possibly still done some damage control, but this late, it just felt very insincere, something that was just done like an afterthought.
It comes at no surprise that things go sour sur quickly now without Inaban. Taichi and Inaban do a good job of getting at each other's throats, even without any unleashing (at least Aoki is decent enough to apologise afterwards). Then Taichi goes and shoves Iori around harshly. Unleashing or not, someone who actually *wants* to shove girls around harshly like that can't have a good character. That's just oil in the fire of my theory which I already mentioned: Taichi was a very unpleasant (if not downright wicked) person before, generally being very nasty to others. Then a crucial event happened, which shocked Taichi to the core, and since then he's trying to balance out his former nastiness by helping everyone, even at the cost of his own well-being. Iori is doing an admirable job of not giving up and still trying to fix things. I wouldn't have expected her to be that strong. However, without Fujishima's instrumental help, trying to get them back together again, it probably would've still been all for naught, and everything would've gone to hell in a wicker basket. Fujishima really deserves a major "thank you" from them, once things are over. HeartSeed's objective is getting ever more unclear. While in the first arc, you could still assume that he's at least neutral, doing it only for fun, or even benevolent, trying to help them to get to know each other better. That would still hold true for the very beginning of Kizu, where Inaban advanced on Taichi. It could've been for Inaban to realise her feelings for Taichi. But after that, the unleashing was only used to have them attacking each other (with the exception of Inori's "Yahoo"). That certainly didn't help them, quite the opposite. If HeartSeed is really entertained by them attacking each other, he must be quite malevolent. Quote:
It's not even culture specific, a little sister over here could just say the very same thing in an attempt to get her big brother make up with his girl friend again. Quote:
People being homophobic and not liking her because she's a lesbian and such is even beyond strange, it's just plain ugly. Anyway, now for something lighter: The Kokoro Connect OP train stop song!

US 2624879 A Description (OCR text may contain errors) F. J. BAIRD NAIL DRIVER Jan. 13, 1953 Filed Sept. 8 /N VEAN-@z FRAN! J. BAUI?. 6/ Mz M5 #fromm-'X I II l. x Patented Jan. 13, 1953 OFFICE NAIL DRIVER Frank J. Baird, San Francisco, Calif. Application September 8, 1951, Serial N o. 245,754 l 1 Claim. l The present invention relates Ato ya new and improved article of manufacture or tool for driving nails, brads, screws, or the like, into remote or virtually inaccessible places, and comprises a tube adapted to contain a nail, or the like, and hold the same at a remote or inaccessible spot into which s-aid nail is to be driven, and operates in conjunction with a -magnetized ram slidably mounted for longitudinal reciprocation within said tube and adapted normally to hold, then drive, by repeated impacts of said ram, said nail or the like from one end of said tube and into said surface, together with a magnetic handle on said tube adapted normally to be magnetically attracted by a magnetized handle on said ram, whereby the several parts of the tool may be held in assembled relation when not in use. The primary object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved article comprising a nail driver having improved means adaptf ed to hold a nail or the like, to be driven, against Ia remote or virtually inaccessible location, such, for instance, as a high ceiling, or within a narrow space or pocket. Another object is to provide a new and improved device of the character set forth having improved means adapted normally to hold the separate parts thereof in assembled relation when not in use. A further object is `to provide an improved device of the type described having a greatly simplied and economically produced construction and a maximum efficiency. The improvement comprises the device disclosed in the drawings forming a part of the present application, and in which- Figure 1 is a broken, or longitudinally contracted elevation of the device; Figure 2 is a partly broken or contracted longitudinal section of the assembled device, when not in use; Figure 3 is a similar sectional view, disclosing one mode of application of the device; and Figure 4 is an elevation of the left hand end of Figure l. Referring to the drawings, the numeral I is used to designate in general a tube of nonmagnetic material, such as brass or the like, having a centrally apertured or bored magnetically attracted handle 2 on one end thereof. Slidably mounted for longitudinal movement through the tube I and handle 2 thereon, and of greater length than the combined lengths of said tube and handle, is a magnetized ram 3 having a magnetized handle 4 thereon, preferably adjacent the handle end of the tube I, and adapted to move the ram 3 longitudinally within CII said tube I until the opposite end of said ram projects slightly beyond the opposite end of said tube, as fully disclosed in Figures l and 2 of the drawings. The overall length of the device preferably is suflicient to reach remote or virtually inaccessible places, such, for instance, as a high ceiling, restricted space, oi the inner end of a narrow pocket. In operation, a nail 5, brad, screw, or the like to be driven, is inserted into the tube I at the end opposite the handle 2 thereon, the ram 3 being receded or retracted Within said tube a distance approximately equal to the length of a nail to be driven. The magnetized ram 3 normally retains the nail t within the end of the tube I until the end of said tube is placed against a surface, as 'at 5, into which the nail is to be driven. If the nail G is to be driven into the bottom of -a narrow space or well, not shown, the magnetic attraction of the ram 3 will retain said nail within the tube against the attraction of gravity, until repeated impacts from the ram, reciproc-ated longitudinally Within said tube I, drives the nail 6 or the like fully into the surface intended. The handle 2 of the tube I is constructed of any magnetic material susceptible to magnetic attraction. AOne advantage of this feature is that normally the device will be held in assembled relation when not in use, due to magnetic yattraction of the magnetized handle 4 for the magnetic handle 2 whereby the assembly constantly is held available for instant use, when required. Having described my invention, I claim: A nail driver comprising a nonmagnetic tube adapted to contain a nail or the like to be driven; a magnetized ram slidably mounted within said tube and adapted to drive a nail or the like held therein beyond one end of said tube; a magnetically attracted handle mounted upon the opposite end of said tube; and a magnetized handle on the end of said ram adjacent the handle on said tube and adapted to magnetically hold said handles in contact and said ram fully within said tube.

The NOOK Color eBook reader from Barnes & Noble has hit the FCC. But the latest reports are suggesting that the FCC will not reveal anything about this new device for a few months. The FCC documents do not reveal anything new about the Android-powered tablet and the internal photos of the device will remain confidential for the next six months. Just to remind you, Barnes & Noble unveiled the device last week. The device, which comes with a 7 inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels, is powered by Android 2.1. It comes with an 8GB of internal
Best Buy has confirmed that it will be providing customers with four exclusive handsets that will not be found at any other retail store. The devices that are arriving at its stores later this month include the HTC Surround, the Dell Streak, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 and the Samsung Fascinate. It is interesting news that the retail giant is getting exclusivity on the Streak and the recently announced Windows Phone 7-equipped Surround, but the X10 and Samsung Fascinate are equally as exciting, as you can buy them in stylish white models. The HTC Surround (on AT&T) is the
Rumors about an iPhone that is compatible with Verizon Wireless' network have been rampant for months. Now, new reports are suggesting that the CDMA iPhone 4 is coming to Verizon in early next year. According to a research analyst, Apple is on schedule to launch an iPhone capable of making calls on Verizon's network in early 2011, most likely in March. Although we do not have an exact launch date, the device is likely to be launched sometime around the now rumored date. But the analyst has also revealed that Apple has other bigger CDMA plans. According to the analyst, the
You must already know that the UK version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab will be released on November 1st. Now, a new rumor is suggesting that the Verizon version of the tablet is also set to be launched on November 1st. Earlier, we had seen the rumor that Sprint was planning a November 16th launch date for the device and a T-Mobile leak confirmed that the carrier will be selling the tablet for $399 on a carrier contract. There is a possibility that the new information on the Verizon release date is correct since an early November release seems spot on if the carrier wants the device
Wal-Mart might be getting ready to launch the Apple iPad very soon. Earlier, there were hints that the retailer would be selling the device later this year. Now, a leaked document is proof that the launch might actually happen next week. Back in May, it was announced by Wal-Mart that it had plans to start selling the iPad in its US retail stores "later this year". Now, a leaked internal email that emerged last week gives us some of the details surrounding the retailer's iPad launch. The leaked document suggests that the retailer will be offering all six models of the iPad,
Last month, Sony Ericsson had announced the LiveView Bluetooth wireless display. Now, the LiveView has been approved by the FCC and the device has been priced. The LiveView, which comes equipped with a 1.3-inch 128×128 color OLED display, is expected to be arriving in November 2010 with a price tag of €69 ($96). The news of a possible November release date and the European pricing was unveiled on the French site Journal Du Geek. The display, which is meant for Android phones, is an iPod nano type display that can be worn as a watch or clipped onto clothes. Earlier, the
LG has introduced a new addition into its Optimus line-up (which also includes the Chic, One and S variant), the Optimus T Android handset. The device, which is aimed at budget-conscious customers, will be a T-Mobile exclusive with launch date expected near the holiday season. The entry-level handset will be coming equipped with a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and video recording. Although many of the latest entry-level Android handsets will be arriving in the market with Android 2.1, the Optimus T will be running the latest v2.2 Froyo operating system. Users will get
Motorola has announced its 7 Android phones (some of which were announced and rumored earlier) which are coming sometime in the near future. The list of phones include Bravo, Citrus, Defy, Droid Pro, Flipout, Flipside and Spice. The Motorola Bravo, which is being called "small but mighty", runs Android 2.1 and comes equipped with a 3.7-inch WVGA touchscreen. The phone will be available later this year on AT&T. The Android 2.1 running Motorola Citrus features a 3-inch QVGA screen and a 3 megapixel camera. The device will also have a compact form, a 3.5mm headset jack and

But the carrier had kept silent about the pricing and availability of the device which is Virgin's first Android device. Now, the device is available from Virgin for $249.99 (contract-free) at Target stores nationwide. The Android 2.1 device comes with a 3.2-inch touchscreen display and features a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard. The device will also have a 3.2 megapixel camera, GPS and WiFi connectivity.

Questions about muppets.go.com
- OK, I started the page. There are some details left out - I made the page in one marathon session last night but uploaded it today because I was too tired to do a final proofread. I'm sure there are areas that can be elaborated on. Questions that I have that maybe someone else can answer...
- Is the Muppet Meteors game a hold-over from Muppetworld.com? It fits the space theme of Muppets from Space & just seems out of place with the rest of muppets.go.com. Unfortunately, my recollection of Muppetworld.com keeps getting fuzzier & fuzzier...
- Does anyone know exactly when the website went live? What time the initial countdown clock was running to?
- At any rate, the page is up &, hopefully, informative enough to satisfy most needs. Enjoy. -Sbartok 16:28, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)-

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. AWESOME - a must read by anyone - Christian or not. Hilarious account of Christ's childhood accompanied by Biff, his best friend. Highly recommended. Jesus's best friend Biff tells the story about his life during those missing early adult years.... Funny :-) I was deeply offended by this book. Christopher Moore waxes sacrilege in his book about Joshua (Jesus) and his best friend Biff. Though the book tackles many religions, there are some religions and some topics within those religions that are best left unmolested. It wouldn't hurt Moore to learn this. There is nothing—ABSOLUTELY NOTHING—funny about Coffee. Adherents of the Coffee Bean do not take such matters lightly. Though we may not be recognized by other religions whose validity we ourselves question, we are strong and organized (and very energetic). For Moore to introduce Coffee into his narrative is one thing, but to laugh at its stimulating qualities is another. However, what can we expect from society? Many poke fun at the Coffee Bean and its miraculous powers. But Moore takes it one step further—he perverts the history of Coffee. No, Mr. Moore, Joshua and Biff DID NOT consume coffee anymore than Abraham Lincoln slammed down a Slurpee. In fact, Coffee and its wonderful effects wouldn't be discovered for another 1500 years. Not even close. Did you even make an attempt at research? And no, obviously Biff couldn't have been the first to add milk and sugar to Coffee, because, as I've already established, COFFEE HAD NOT MADE ITSELF KNOWN TO MAN. One offense is ignorance, two offenses is pardonable, but no, you just kept going and going, dragging Coffee through the mud of not only Palestine, but into the east, as far as China and India. Coffee came to India in 1670. 1670 AD! Do your research, Mr. Moore, or perhaps next time you'll be roasted. Putting the issue of Coffee aside for the moment, the book had its highs and lows. Some will hate what Moore does with other religions, but I don't think he was too harsh (so stop your whining you babies). He certainly set out to be offensive, but he doesn't directly attack the claims of these faiths—in fact, you could say he largely embraces them for the sake of this novel. I was impressed with this, and didn't expect it (why he couldn't do the same for Coffee is left to debate). The humor swings from Junior High bathroom jokes to absurdest, Monty-Pythonesque skits. Relying too much on penis-this and sex-that, the book isn't all that funny. It has its moments though; I especially enjoyed the duo of Abel and Crutus though their presence was limited to only a few pages. Largely, the book's biggest issue is its time spent in the East. Joshua and Biff's pilgrimage, while relevant to the ideas Moore was trying to get across, were a chore to get through. The demon-monster, the yeti, the teachers, the sex, sex, sex—none were entertaining, all took us away from the story that paralleled the greatest story ever told. Had the book not returned to the gospel stories as we known them, I would've hated this. It's when Moore is reinterpreting the classic that he is at his best. So here's how we fix the problem. Next time, I want less East, more Abel and Crustus, and more bunnies. Definitely more bunnies, especially toward the end. And one last thing, Mr. Moore, leave the Coffee to the experts. This was okay, but its definitely not what I would consider a great book. Yes, its a satirical romp through the so-called missing years of Jesus' life, but the story didn't seem to hang together well. I liked the beginning, got extremely bored during the middle, and liked the ending. I enjoyed Moore's portrayal of Jesus, Biff, and Maggie as normal Jewish kids growing up together and there are some real endearing moments here. What I lost patience with was the incredibly long and absurd part in the middle when Jesus and Biff roam around for years seeking enlightenment. The plot started taking turns that just seemed silly and unrelated to the part of the story that I actually cared about. The missing years were apparently filled with a bizarre combination of sex, drugs, and kung-fu. [Who knew?] The TL:DR version of this part of the book could be summed up as, "Jesus finds enlightenment. Biff sleeps with a bunch of women and makes smart-ass comments." Even worse, none of their adventures from this part of the story seem to have any influence on the rest of the book. [SO WHAT WAS THE POINT AGAIN?] When Joshua and Biff finally return from their sojourn, the story starts getting interesting again and its refreshing to see Moore's take on well-known Biblical stories. Biff also finally quits providing purely comic relief and starts showing real emotion as Joshua's execution looms. His grief and anger at the end of the book also seems real and elicits empathy. Overall, I'd have a hard time recommending this book, as it loses its way in the middle and has a hard time regaining lost ground. no reviews | add a review Was inspired by

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0380813815, Paperback)While the Bible may be the word of God, transcribed by divinely inspired men, it does not provide a full (or even partial) account of the life of Jesus Christ. Lucky for us that Christopher Moore presents a funny, lighthearted satire of the life of Christ--from his childhood days up to his crucifixion--in Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. This clever novel is surely blasphemy to some, but to others it's a coming-of-age story of the highest order.Joshua (a.k.a. Jesus) knows he is unique and quite alone in his calling, but what exactly does his Father want of him? Taking liberties with ancient history, Moore works up an adventure tale as Biff and Joshua seek out the three wise men so that Joshua can better understand what he is supposed to do as Messiah. Biff, a capable sinner, tags along and gives Joshua ample opportunities to know the failings and weaknesses of being truly human. With a wit similar to Douglas Adams, Moore pulls no punches: a young Biff has the hots for Joshua's mom, Mary, which doesn't amuse Josh much: "Don't let anyone ever tell you that the Prince of Peace never struck anyone." And the origin of the Easter Bunny is explained as a drunken Jesus gushes his affection for bunnies, declaring, "Henceforth and from now on, I decree that whenever something bad happens to me, there shall be bunnies around." One small problem with the narrative is that Biff and Joshua often do not have distinct voices. A larger difficulty is that as the tone becomes more somber with Joshua's life drawing to its inevitable close, the one-liners, though not as numerous, seem forced. True to form, Lamb keeps the story of Joshua light, even after its darkest moments. --Michael Ferch (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:23:43 -0400) A humorous, speculative novel fills in the lost years of Jesus' life, told from the perspective of Biff, his childhood best friend. |

Roadway concerns Wal-Mart
Published: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 at 12:21 a.m.
Just how many vehicles can County Road 235A in the city of Alachua handle?
Enough for the a new Wal-Mart distribution center?
Alachua County doesn't know. In order to save money, the county's Public Work's Department took some cost-cutting measures when it repaved the road to make it sturdy enough to accommodate the traffic associated with the Dollar General distribution center a few years back, according to Michael Fay, acting Public Works director.
Engineering specifications at the time called for 3§ inches of asphalt to be laid over the existing pavement to give the road a 10-year life span for up to 16,700 average daily trips, according to the county. One trip is considered traveling on the road one way.
It turns out only 3 inches of asphalt was put down. No one knows what the wear and tear would be on that depth of asphalt, although county officials expect that the road can handle the traffic with Wal-Mart. The county has hired a firm to analyze the road.
But now that Wal-Mart is seriously contemplating a move into Alachua, the world's largest retailer wants some assurances that the road will hold up. And the company wants the county to pay if it doesn't.
On Tuesday, Brent Christensen, president of the Alliance for Economic Development, asked the Alachua County Commission to consider writing a letter to the company affirming both.
"They are just trying to make sure the road is what we represented," Christensen said.
The County Commission instead voted 4-1 to write a letter explaining to Wal-Mart that it would be required to pay its share of improvements to the road should any improvements need to be made.
"If they impact the road, then they will have to pay," County Commission Chairman Rodney Long said. "It's just like impact fees."
Commissioner Mike Byerly voted against the letter because he said this is the same thing any company coming to the county would be required to do.
"What this letter says is strictly a restatement of law," Byerly said.
"It would be my preference to do nothing."
Wal-Mart officials have expressed interest in building a 1.2-million-square-foot distribution center on a site near the Dollar General distribution center, just off CR 235A. Company officials project that the center will produce about 1,200 car trips (600 in and 600 out) and 900 (450 in and 450 out) truck trips a day.
County estimates show that fewer than 3,000 trips a day are now being used on CR 235A.
The road analysis could take three to five weeks. It is unclear if it will draw out an announcement by Wal-Mart about its plans.

I've got three schools on tomorrow. One is this one you're doing now but I'm sure the other two would like your services. Will it be ok to approach those two with the understanding that it's done on an as and when you get time basis.
Although @SYSMAN_MK is too nice to say it ... if the schools are after a few things then it might be worth making a donation to him for his work.
SYSMAN_MK (17th June 2012)
Agreed! - This chap is very talented and I know spends many many hours helping out people with these kind of requests. :-) Making a donation to him for all the time and effort he puts in to make some cracking designs / images would be very appreciated by him and I personally would be pleased to see people marking there acknowledgement of his efforts by making a donation of X amount.
Keep up the good work Paul your a good man.
SYSMAN_MK (17th June 2012)
No offence intended but just to put you in the picture..
I agreed a price with Paul for each logo he does yesterday via pm. I made the £25 donation for this one at 7.30 this morning.
His sig now reflects the fact that he requires a £25 donation to release the vector file and his latest image has a sample watermark after our conversation. Paul's talent is beyond question but don't tell him I said that as he might put his prices up.
EduTech (17th June 2012), GrumbleDook (18th June 2012), SYSMAN_MK (17th June 2012)
Yes that's fine.
Thanks for the kind words @GrumbleDook & @EduTech
As @mrwobbly has said he has kindly donated for his logo and has mentioned the possibility of other schools needing logos.
Also as mentioned as much as I love doing these requests, and love helping out the EduGeek community and all the positive feedback, time is now a limited resource and to continue I really need to make it worth my while. There have been over 150 requests over the past 2 years, some of which have taken a good few hours to complete, so I feel the £25.00 is fair and at the end of the day if the members requesting don't like the result they haven't lost anything. It just means that if they are happy or need some tweaks made I can carry these out in the knowledge that I will be compensated for my time.
I would also like to take this opportunity to give a huge thanks to those members who have donated in the past, you know who you are, I can't thank you enough!

IBM has announced a new and redesigned PureData System for Analytics, powered by Netezza technology. The PureData System is for running complex analytics on large data volumes. To put it in perspective, it starts with a data capacity of 96 TB for a half-rack system and can scale to more than 700 TB for a four-rack system.
Plus, more data in the same footprint
IBM has announced a new and redesigned PureData System for Analytics, powered by Netezza technology that boasts a 3x improvement in performance and can hold 50 percent more data within the same footprint.
And what's new, exactly?
"It's undergone a complete refresh of the underlying architecture, which will drive up to a 3x improvement in performance and allow us to store up to 50 percent more data per rack," Peter McCaffrey, director of marketing for IBM PureSystems, told POWER IT Pro. "So we've got far greater density, which is good for clients who have more and more data and have limitations in their data center environment."
IBM reports that the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) relies on PureData System for Analytics to handle an enormous volume of data in its trading systems -- and to identify and investigate trading anomalies faster and easier.
"NYSE needs to store and analyze seven years of historical data and be able to search through approximately one terabyte of data per day, which amounts to hundreds in total," notes Emile Werr, head of product development, NYSE Big Data Group and global head of Enterprise Data Architecture and Identity Access Management for NYSE Euronext.
"The PureData System for Analytics powered by Netezza system provides the scalability, simplicity, and performance critical in being able to analyze our big data to deliver results eight hours faster than on the previous solution, which in our world is a game changer when you look at the impact on businesses every second that passes."
And IBM is touting another example: The Nielsen Company, a leading global information and measurement company, provides clients with a comprehensive understanding of consumers and their behavior by leveraging Netezza technology to deliver complex analytic capabilities, IBM reports.
"Recently, Nielsen tested two major competitors with their latest products to tackle our highly complex analytic workload," notes John Naduvathusseril, chief data architect for the Nielsen Company. "Both vendors did not match up on consistent performance, simplicity, data refresh speed, and overall performance of our reporting needs. Other vendors require customization, which we cannot sustain and they still did not deliver the kind of performance as the PureData System for Analytics."

Amid such doubts, President Bush's job approval rating among suburban voters has collapsed to 29%, according to a May 5-7 Gallup Poll. And those same highly educated, upper-middle-class voters say they want to see Democrats in charge on Capitol Hill. By 51% to 39%, suburbanites tell Gallup they plan to vote Democratic for Congress this November.
With half the nation's voters living in suburbia, the GOP is in serious jeopardy of losing its congressional majority unless Republicans rebound among suburbanites concerned about huge deficits, soaring gas prices, and the war in Iraq. In the House, the party could lose a dozen suburban seats from New York to San Diego. And a suburban collapse could cost Republicans Senate seats in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Missouri, and even conservative Arizona. "The districts we represent are important to maintaining a majority," says Representative Mike Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.), an at-risk incumbent in Philadelphia's prosperous Bucks County suburbs.
So while White House political guru Karl Rove is crafting a national strategy based on issues such as fighting terrorists, Democratic obstructionism, and "family values," many congressional Republicans are focusing on a different set of issues to appeal to voters in swing districts such as Fitzpatrick's. The result: a new suburban agenda tailored to appeal to families that live in neighborhoods of cul-de-sacs, soccer fields, and megamalls."FAMILIES FEEL UNDER ATTACK"
Out are hot-button issues such as gay marriage and immigration control that divide suburbanites. Instead of homeland security, the suburban agenda focuses on security close to home: protecting kids from online sexual predators and parents from identity thieves, combating suburban gang violence, and creating new family tax breaks. A proposal by Fitzpatrick would force schools and public libraries to block access to popular Web sites frequented by pedophiles, such as MySpace.com. A bill by Representative Jon C. Porter (R-Nev.) would give schools access to databases listing sexual offenders as they screen potential hires. And Representative Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) wants to give schools broader authority to search students to keep classrooms free of guns and drugs.
"Suburban families feel under attack, and they want a voice in Congress," says Kirk, whose Chicago-area district was carried narrowly by Kerry in '04. "This reflects a need to update the lens through which we look at our country."
The core of the GOP's suburban appeal remains pro-growth economic policies, from lower tax rates on capital gains to an end to inheritance taxes. One new proposal pushed by Kirk would create family-friendly "401-kid" accounts, modeled on the popular tax-advantaged savings accounts offered by many employers, which a family could use to pay for college or a first home. Republicans also hope to win back wavering suburbanites by warning them that a Democratic Congress might raise their taxes. "We just have to come back to what matters to these suburbanites and what would happen if they took over" Congress, says National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Elizabeth Dole (R-N.C.). "Do they want tax increases? No."
Democrats dismiss the GOP agenda as recycled tax breaks and empty promises. But the Dems have their own to-do list for suburbanites, from automatic enrollment in corporate 401(k) plans to an infusion of federal cash for school construction.
Dole concedes that "the wind is in our faces" now. To reverse those gusts, Republicans will need to convince anxious suburbanites that they have a plan, while a Democratic Congress would result in higher taxes and even higher anxiety. By Richard S. Dunham
