Safety Regulations
The IMPBA insurance coverage is good at sanctioned events and club races. IMPBA
insurance does cover boaters during open water and practice sessions, as long as you
are following the safety procedures outlined in Section S of the IMPBA rulebook, and
such events take place on an IMPBA insured body of water only.
No IMPBA events shall be sanctioned or approved unless IMPBA insurance is in effect.
(See section E, IMPBA Procedures, Sanctions and Insurance).
Section I CODE OF CONDUCT
All IMPBA members and /or contestants are responsible to conduct themselves in a
manner consistent with the concept of good sportsmanship; to wit, a person who
plays fair and conducts him/herself in an acceptable fashion while participation in
IMPBA events. The use of alcohol or illegal substance and/or the abuse of
prescription drugs while participating in an IMPBA race or sanctioned event is
considered unacceptable conduct.
If, during an event sponsored by IMPBA, it is determined by the member in charge of
said event that a contestant's conduct falls below the acceptable standards as set
forth in these rules, that contestant is subject to immediate disqualification from the
event and is further subject to a suspension of all racing privileges for a period of 30
days, or more, to include a lifetime suspension. The Director of the event is required
to immediately inform the IMPBA President in writing of the action taken.
C. Appeal
1. If a contestant is sanctioned as a result of the rule as set forth above, he/she
shall have ten (10) days to file a written appeal with the Board of Directors. If
such an appeal is filed, the Board is required to hold a hearing within ten (10)
days if possible, but under no circumstances later than fifteen (15) days from
the date the appeal is received.
2. In order for the sanctioned contestant to invoke the appeal process, it is
required that the appeal be in writing and setting forth the appellant's grounds
and any witnesses to the event in question.
3. Once received, the Board shall immediately designate a member to preside
over the investigation. This member is required to contact the Race Director
who filed the sanction for a written response to the appeal. This response is
to set forth in their entirety stating the reasons for the entering of the sanction,
and witnesses to support the charge.
D. Hearing
1. Once the above-mentioned steps have been completed, the Board member in
charge of the investigation shall convene a hearing to determine the
penalties, if any. Suspensions of all IMPBA privileges for a specified amount
of time can be assessed to the contestant. Any suspension of IMPBA
privileges will also include suspension of contestant using the 1 time event
fee from another model boating organization, to participate in any IMPBA
event, or insured lake site. A mandatory penalty of a lifetime suspension from
all IMPBA privileges will be imposed if the police presence is required due to
the contestant's unacceptable conduct.
It is necessary that fifty percent (50%) plus one of the members of the current
Board of Directors of the
IMPBA participate in this hearing. A vote by majority
either way as to the guilt, innocence, and/or sanction are required. Should the
board fail to properly convene within the time frame as set forth above, all
sanctions shall be automatically dropped.
E. Alcoholic beverages will be prohibited in the Pit area and on the CD/Drivers'
SAFE BOAT OPERATING RULES and PROCEDURES
The International Motor Power Boat Association wishes to help you operate your R/C
boat in a safe manner. We know you will enjoy your boat operation much more by
following these operating procedures. By following these procedures, you will protect
anyone who may be watching you run your boat and also protect your boat from
Section II EVENT SAFETY SITE RULES
1. Adequate provision shall be made for the safety of the contestants and
2. Each club should have a Safety Officer who will inspect the pond prior to
Open Water, or the start of the race, to ensure that all IMPBA rules are in
effect and adequate protection in place. This inspection should include a
written check list as outlined in the Club Procedures. Contest Directors must
check with the Safety Officer to be sure that the inspection is complete before
starting the event. The club Safety Officer may provide a technical inspection
prior to an event, and deny running privileges to any boat not considered
3. No person may operate or assist in the operation of a model power boat, or
enter the pit area, or operate a retrieve boat at any IMPBA sanctioned event
on an IMPBA insured pond, and be covered by insurance, unless he is a
current paid IMPBA member. Race officials, contestants, and their assistants
should be the only ones allowed in the pit area.
IMPBA Sanctioned Records Trials
1. Clubs hosting IMPBA sanctioned record trials shall use caution tape, signs,
barriers, fencing and or netting as a minimum distance indicator (25 feet) to
keep spectators out of the water and a minimum of 25 feet from any
operating boat. All spectators shall be kept back 25 feet from the shoreline.
IMPBA sanctioned races
1. Spectators shall be kept out of the water and a minimum of 25 feet from any
operating boat. The spectator area should be back 25 feet from the
shoreline, and signs posted: "No Spectators beyond This Point."
The pit area shall be roped or fenced and kept clear of spectators. An effort
should also be made to protect boaters in the pit area by using netting or a
raised launch area. SAFETY NETTING should be placed on all sides of the
pond exposed directly to spectators and contestants. Safety nets should be
inspected prior to the race for tears and dry rot, and if the net is found to be
in a deteriorated state, it should be replaced with new netting prior to use.
Net supports should be spaced no more than 10 feet apart. Any area that is
not covered by safety nets must be kept free of all people and animals during
the event with signs and/or ropes or barriers of some kind. The plastic
orange construction netting is NOT recommended. The recommended
netting is;
3. No person shall be permitted in the water without expressed permission of
the Contest Director.
Radio Impound
1. Transmitters shall be impounded upon arrival at a contest site from all
competitors in the pit areas. Transmitters using the 2.4Ghz frequency will be
exempt from the impound area.
2. The impound area shall be furnished by sponsoring club and shall be
properly shaded and provided adequate protection from the weather and
theft. The IMPBA and host club are not held responsible for lost, stolen or
damaged transmitters. Transmitters will have the contestants name and
IMPBA number attached to the transmitter.
3. Frequency flags as approved by IMPBA/FCC are mandatory at all times to
be displayed on the transmitters. Transmitters using the 2.4Ghz band do not
require frequency flags.
4. The proper contest officials will control the use of transmitters for checking
5. Control Infractions
Should a boat show erratic, random or other behavior indicating possible
control problems, a contest official will warn the driver. Should the behavior
continue, the boat would be ordered off the course and given points for a
"Did Not Finish"? After a boat has been ordered off the course for erratic
operating, the driver must demonstrate to the contest officials that the
problem has been repaired before he can race in the next heat. The contest
officials may require the driver to demonstrate the controllability of the boat.
1. There will be no model boats running on the pond while the pickup boat is
working. The pickup boat may not go out as long as any model boats are
2. No model boats will be running while any full sized boat is in operation on the
IMPBA registered insured body of water.
3. Coast Guard approved life vests and/or personal floatation devices (PFD)
should be worn or at least available for each person in the pickup boat. All
persons in the retrieve boat under 16 years of age must wear U.S.C.G. approved
4. "NO SWIMMING" signs should be posted in conspicuous places on all sides of
the pond.
6. Any tent, dining fly, canopy, or similar device must have in-ground anchors.
7. Sand containers shall be present and used as a depository of racers'
contaminated fuel. This shall be the responsibility of the host club who will also
provide for the proper disposal of such fuel.
8. All steps and driver stands floors shall have a reasonably slip-resistant surface.

angle of stairway rise.
9. Temporary structures, such as drivers' stands/scaffolding or
bleachers, are not covered by IMPBA insurance.
10. Any club offering a concession stand should ask for insurance certificates from
the concessionaire. (This is due to the possibility of food poisoning.)
11. An area shall be roped off from spectators and other racers to use as an engine
test area.
12. Fire extinguishers must be located in the pit area and engine test areas as well.
13. No smoking is allowed in the pit area at any time.
14. A good quality first aid kit should be standard equipment at all races, first aid kits
should be replenished periodically throughout the year.
15. The club safety officer may provide technical inspection to the boats prior to an
event, and deny running privileges to any boat not considered safe.
Safe Operations Rules
1. Whenever running a boat, whether during a race or practicing, there must be a
spotter for each driver to watch for any unsafe conditions which should arise
around the pond.
2. Anyone in the pit area MUST wear shoes. (Sandals or open-toed shoes of any
kind are NOT acceptable.)
3. All inboard hydros should have throwing handles.
4. No plastic or composite props will be used except for Working Scale Electric, and
RTR/ABS production type boats.
5. The method of propulsion shall be the type that functions by contact with the
water. Inertia-reaction devices such as rockets, jets, or air props are prohibited,
as main source of propulsion.
6. Boat stands should have prop guards.
7. The transmitter on/off switch shall be positioned in such a manner as to prevent its
accidental shut off if bumped either during launching, handling, or racing.
8. All transmitters will be identified by the owner's name and address thereon.
8. The model boat radio on/off switch shall be positioned in such a manner as to prevent
its accidental shut off if bumped either during launching, handling or racing on all boats.
10. NEVER bring boat back to pit area straight in--always run parallel to shore while
slowing it down.
11. Pick up your frequency tag from the tag board. YOU MUST HAVE A SURFACE
MODEL FREQUENCY RADIO. If the tag that you need is not on the board, it means
that someone else is operating a boat on the same frequency as you. DO NOT PICK
12. A positive engine throttle control, or speed control on electric boats, will be required
of all boats entered in racing or record trials.
13. Boats will be checked to see each has an antenna before the race is started.
14. Boat antennas should have a protective cap to prevent eye injuries.
15. After you have the tag/flag for your frequency, you may pick up your radio from the
radio impound.
16.Check operation of the radio, check battery, check range. Does both rudder and
throttle operate? Does the throttle close the carburetor completely? It's more
important to be able to stop the engine than to have full throttle. When the stick (wheel)
is moved to the right, does the rudder move to turn the boat to the right? When the
stick (wheel) is moved to the left, does the rudder move to turn the boat to the left?
When all tests are completed and everything is working properly, you are ready to start
your engine.
17. Start your boat and WALK TO THE LAUNCH SITE.
18. Launch your boat and bring it up to speed (on plane).
19. You must be able to drive a straight course on the straight-a-ways and turn
around the outside of the turn buoys.
20. When returning to the pits, after a run, make sure you are able to stop the boat
without running into the shore. Bring the boat in parallel with the shore. NEVER
bring it straight in.
21. Place the boat back on its stand. Turn off the boat receiver, and then turn off the
22. Return the transmitter to the impound area. MAKE SURE THE TRANSMITTER
IS OFF when setting it down. Return the frequency tag to the board. When the
boats are running, you will not be able to hear what your boat is doing. You must
become aware that you now only have your sense of sight to control your boat.
Your pit man is an important part of your boat's operation. He is your second set
of eyes and will be talking to you about what is ahead on the race course.
Become accustomed to someone talking to you while you are operating your
Fast Electric Powered Models
It is recommended for all fast electric powered model boats to have an electrical
disconnect circuit(s) (EDC) (see diagrams and pictured examples). The EDC(s) should
have a lanyard attaching it to the model boat if required the EDC should also be located
on the left hand side of the model if at all possible. EDC(s) should be designed to
physically prevent the transmission of all electrical energy to the motor(s). Boats using
the 2p setup may use 2 (two) EDCs, in order to keep the entire load from one EDC
circuit. The use of the EDC(s) device is to allow persons in retrieve boats to activate the
EDC(s) to ensure the electrical energy to the motor(s) is/are interrupted.
It is recommended that a radio failsafe be used in all models. The radio failsafe should
be set to shut the electronic speed control (ESC) voltage down when a signal is lost or
As a general safety practice while FE boats are in the pit area the EDC(s) should also
be activated to ensure an increased safety margin for all.
All electric models must be handled as if the motor is running. Retrieve boat operators
will be reminded that when picking up dead boats to keep themselves clear of the
propeller(s) on the model and to keep the propeller(s) clear of any obstructions in the
retrieve boat.
Fuel/Gasoline Powered Models
The use of Tetra Nitro Methane or Hydrazine is illegal in all phases of model boating
controlled by
IMPBA. Any member found using these would be banned from IMPBA for
one year. In addition, he will have to reimburse to
IMPBA the entire fuel analyzing
costs prior to being allowed to rejoin this organization.
All engines must have a positive off-on switch, or in lieu of this switch, the primary
ignition lead must be removed from the spark plug except when in the pits, out of the
spectator area, or in preparation for racing.
It is recommended that a radio failsafe be used in all models. The radio failsafe should
be set to close the throttle when a signal is lost or weak.
ACCIDENT reporting procedures
All accidents must be reported to the club's Safety Officer. In the event of an accident,
the Club Safety Officer will write his opinion on the accident, and forward it to the
IMPBA Safety Director as soon as possible. Pictures of what caused the accident and
the location where the accident occurred if possible and a method of preventing a
reoccurrence of the accident should also be submitted to the IMPBA Safety Officer for
review by the IMPBA Board
IMPBA Accident and Injury forms will be kept at the race site at all times. If there should
be an accident, it will be recorded on these forms and sent to the National Safety
Director as soon as possible. The forms will be a prerequisite to payment of claims.
Copies of claim forms will also be included in this section.

The snow days are piling up for many school districts across Michigan. Several districts have already canceled school for Tuesday in advance of the frigid temperatures.
SEE: School closings for metro DetroitThe state allows the schools six snow days before they have to start making up the time. Making up the time can come by adding time to a school day or adding days to the school year. "Our average is about three days and, to have this many is really very unusual," says Dennis McDavid, the superintendent of Berkley Schools. He says the district builds other days into the school year, as do many other districts, to keep room for more snow days. He says he and other superintendents have a conference call if conditions look bad to make the decision together. "We look at the weather forecast, we check road conditions, we look at snow coming, how much snow is on the ground ... Our main consideration is always safety for our students and our staff," McDavid says.

Bitter orange & Cedar Candle
I bought this candle around Christmas 2 years ago and LOVE the scent and how it makes my house smell. Last year, I went to the same store hoping they would have this scent again, but they did not. So happy to find it online! Looking forward to having it to burn again this fall and winter!
Bitter Orange & Cedar Candle
There's nothing quite like this candle, it gives the most soothing and cozy scent. Perfect candle to help you relax after a long day.
this smells like autumn not spicey but more like leaves burning or wood fireplace, I have it our family room its a very soft mild fragance great for an area while friends gather and you don't want a heavy fragance. It made the room feel warm and friendly.
Comforting and perfect for Fall
I just purchased all the previous wildwood fragrances in several forms. My favorite is the bitter orange and cedar. I love the scent of cedar anyway and its combination with orange and spices is perfection. It is a welcoming scent, perfect for autumn with the crisp orange, hint of spices and lingering cedar. Perfect for a relaxing evening, I look forward to coming home from work and immersing myself in a good book with a cup of hot tea or cocoa with this wonderful scent enveloping me.

Classics is the study of ancient Greece and Rome - among the world's most exciting, important, and influential civilizations.
The classics program embraces the many aspects of the Greek and Roman world - including the Greek and Latin languages, mythology, archaeology, history, and philosophy - from prehistory to the late Roman Empire and early Christianity. For students who pursue a major or minor, classics provides a solid liberal arts education that will be useful in many careers and vital to the development of their full human capacity. For students in other disciplines, classics offers a valuable opportunity to investigate the works and traditions that have provided much of the background of their own chosen fields. Many find that working with the classical languages improves their skills as readers and writers.
Classics courses share an emphasis on encountering the classical world through primary sources, both textual and material. Complementing this emphasis is the study of the living tradition that has shaped - and continues to shape - the ways in which we understand our world today.
Career Options
Classics graduates go on to careers as varied as:
The Department of Classics offers a complete preparation for students seeking a wide range of post-graduate and career opportunities. Yet it remains small enough to allow our faculty to get to know all of our students individually and to work with them closely. Classics students:

What do you geek? Share your own story!
I know, it's super girly, but I geek sewing. It is so neat to be able to take a simple piece of fabric and make it into a dress or shirt that is totally unique, and fits you perfectly in size and style. I love to turn on an audiobook or CD from the library and sit down to sew as a way to unwind from a long day at work. And then when you finish something and put it on for the first time it is so exciting! (At this point I usually have a little fashion show for my lazy cat Buster who likes to sit by me and beg to have his belly rubbed while I sew.) I have found that the more I sew, the better become at it. The better I become, the more successful my projects are. The more successful my projects are, the more I geek it! It's a vicious (but wonderful) circle!!

The use of any portion of one television program or theatrical motion picture in another television program or theatrical motion picture is called an excerpt. Payments are based upon fixed rates that vary according to the length of the excerpt, where the excerpt is used, and how many excerpts are used in the program.
For "compilation" programs (e.g., "best of" or "anniversary programs"), an aggregate payment, based on the length of the program, is due for use of the excerpts included therein. The Guild then allocates the aggregate payment among the credited writer(s) of the programs from which the excerpts were used.

Monday marks the seventh day of a hunger strike for protesters demanding access to organ transplants for undocumented immigrants at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
There were about 40 picketers in front of the hospital on Sunday, including the 14 people on the hunger strike.
"We're asking for help," said Blanca Gomez, 23, who needs a kidney transplant. "I go to dialysis three times a week. I'm not going off the hunger strike until I get on the transplant list."
Gomez said she had lost four pounds and was surviving on water and Gatorade.
The group said 14 undocumented Mexican immigrants who live in the Chicago area need either a liver or kidney transplant. But they can't afford it because they are denied federal health care. They are not U.S. citizens.
The protesters said they would stay until Northwestern Memorial CEO Dean Harrison agrees to a meeting.
Northwestern Memorial Hospital is one of the only hospitals in the region to offer live donor liver transplants.
The situation boils down to a moral and ethical dilemma, said Dr. David Ansell, chief medical officer at Rush University Medical Center.
"One the one hand, the intent of the national transplant registry is to base transplants on who needs them most, but there are indeed a whole group of people who find themselves shut out," he said. "And these are people who are uninsurable, and it creates an ethical dilemma of doing the right thing against the extreme cost of doing a transplant."
An average kidney transplant can cost between $100,000 and $200,000, Ansell said. The care needed before and after surgery, in addition to medication, can cost tens of thousands more.
"These are people who contribute to the community. The answer can't be no access, but it's going to require calling together all the transplant centers in the region, as well as politicians and members of the community to find an equitable solution," Ansell said. "The other thing to note is that 20 percent of organs come from uninsured people, but around 1 percent of organs go to uninsured people who need them. These people donate the organs, but mostly don't get access to them."
Northwestern Memorial Hospital issued a response to protesters and hunger strikers who say local hospitals are discriminating against immigrants in this country illegally.
The hospital said its organ transplant decisions aren't based on whether a patient is a U.S. citizen or in this country illegally.
The hospital says all transplant decisions are based on several factors, including the patient's home life, social environment and ability to pay for costly treatment.
The protesters met Monday with a Northwestern representative and say the hospital has agreed to participate in an ongoing dialogue about the issue.
They are now focusing their protest on another area hospital, Christ Advocate in Oak Lawn.

Program of Studies
What makes the Thomas More College program distinct?
Many great books programs keep you locked in a world of abstract ideas. The program at Thomas More roots those ideas in concrete reality, enabling you to engage the world with your mind, body, and soul. We read the finest works of civilization from Antiquity through the Middle Ages and into the Modern Age. Distinctive elements of Thomas More College's program include:
- No dreary textbooks: You will read the great authors themselves in their original works.
- Experiencing centers of culture: You begin in New England, the birthplace of our country, and then travel to Rome—the living heart of our civilization. Scholarships allow interested students to study British history and literature in Oxford.
- Ideas in Action: The wisdom of the classroom comes alive in extra-curricular activities such as naturalistic drawing, music, woodworking, icon-painting, life-changing internships, and more.
- Creative Focus: Upper-level tutorials enable you and your faculty to partner in the creation of a course of study tailored to your academic interests.
- Catholic: Most importantly, your entire program is joyfully undertaken in a Catholic community, committed to Truth, both natural and revealed.
Why does Thomas More College "only offer" a degree in the Liberal Arts?
The average person changes careers four times, and less than half of college graduates actually "use" their specific major. Moreover, no single "major" subject will sustain you on your life's journey. Thomas More College offers you an education that prepares you not only for your first profession, but for your whole career. It is an education that does more than equip you for the workforce—it prepares you for life. Our Liberal Arts program is not an education of limitations, but of immeasurable opportunities.
Thomas More College defends a common education that allows students to study together, discover the beauty and order present in nature and human life, and to crown their studies contemplating the highest things. It is an education that gives you a broad and agile mind and the character capable of navigating the unforeseen—and inevitable—changes of the future. We believe that the "great books" approach that produced leaders over the last 3,000 years is more relevant than ever today. Thomas More College seeks to produce souls prepared for life, not a narrow specialty.
How does a liberal arts education prepare me for the future?
The adventure undertaken at Thomas More College will set your heart free to live life well and bring creativity, beauty, and ordered ideas into the world. A liberal arts education not only forms you, but also prepares you for a broad range of careers. Our graduates have done this through their vocations as teachers, artists, lawyers, computer analysts, financial managers, religious, business executives, parents and in many other worthwhile pursuits. The Catholic great books program at Thomas More College is not a tool for any one career, but a key to unlocking many. We view our education as a success every time a graduate goes forth with the commitment to goodness and truth and the desire to serve God and his fellow man.
Studying the most brilliant minds of human history develops the habits of thought and action that allow you to rise above the ordinary in all pursuits.
With a liberal arts education from Thomas More College, you will grow in your ability to think, reason, adapt, and communicate. You will develop an agility of mind, sound leadership qualities, strong character, and an enriched soul. And more importantly, you will be prepared to live a good life in the fullness of Truth. A liberal arts education broadens your outlook so you can think and act freely. It allows you to understand and to pursue a life based on the wisdom of our ancestors. It develops a love of your soul and a sense of wonder over creation. It is an education springing from ancient sources that continuously renews you. A liberal arts education frees you to seek the Truth.
Wisdom & Eloquence
The Program of Studies at Thomas More College is a rigorous training in the liberal arts, humane letters, and the disciplines of philosophy and theology. The entire program is designed to help our students to "put on the mind of Christ" (Philippians 2:5) by forming them in human and divine wisdom and by preparing them for a life of service to the world as eloquent witnesses to the True, the Beautiful, and the Good.
Wisdom, as Cardinal Newman put it, is that "clear, calm, accurate vision, and comprehension of the whole course, the whole work of God." It is, in other words, the habit of right thinking and judgment that comes from the reasoned-out knowledge of God as first cause and final end of all that exists. Human, or philosophical wisdom is attained after an arduous ascent that begins with the beauty and intelligibility that the senses discover in the world around us and proceeds to what our mind can apprehend of spiritual goods, the soul, and God. The liberal arts, and especially the art of logic, are the necessary equipment for such a course of study, which must be "rigorous," "coherent," and "systematic" if it is to result in authentic knowledge (Fides et Ratio, §4). For the Christian, human wisdom yields to divine as its completion and judge, as from revelation we receive the principles of Sacred Doctrine, and from the Holy Spirit the gift of infused wisdom which is the inheritance of every confirmed Christian. In conformity with the constant teaching of the Magisterium, the wisdom that theology promises is to be sought first in the reverent, careful reading of Holy Scripture in light of the commentaries of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church and the decrees of Ecumenical Councils and Popes, and afterwards in the discipline of theology proper. And this learning, in order not to be sterile or unreal, must take place within a community of prayer that understands the Sacred Liturgy to be the privileged place of encountering the Truth about man, the universe, and God.
The search for Truth naturally leads to the desire to rejoice in and testify to the Truth one has attained. Thomas More College embraces the Church's teaching that a Catholic education should lead its possessors to "try to communicate to society those ethical and religious principles which give full meaning to human life" (Ex Corde Ecclesiae, #33). By giving her students a true and integral humanistic formation, Thomas More College enables them to contribute to the evangelization of culture. In an age of cultural dislocation, such a formation must include not only reflection upon the principles of the good life, but also a course of study–almost an immersion–in the great works of Classical and Christian culture and in the lives and writings of the saints, so that the student's imagination and desires may be shaped in accord with what is truly good and beautiful. This humanistic formation is guided by philosophical and theological ethics and employs the tools of the traditional arts of grammar (through the study of one of the great Classical languages), rhetoric, and poetics. Such a formation, culminating in the Tutorials, Junior Project, and Senior Thesis, leads to a kind of eloquence in its possessors, who become ambassadors of the gaudium de veritate, the joy in the truth, that is a Catholic education's characteristic fruit. Like the great Christian humanists throughout the ages—from St. John Chrysostom and St. Augustine to St. Thomas More and the Venerable John Henry Newman—the Thomas More College graduate rejoices to have been given the great task of serving the world by communicating the saving truth of the Incarnate Word.

Toushiro Cosplay
Born in Rukongai, Toushiro became the youngest ever to reach captain rank. Thus, he is called a "boy genius" or a "child prodigy" by many. Hitsugaya is very short in height comparable to Rukia Kuchiki's. He also has spiky white hair and teal-emerald eyes, which evokes his ability of controlling ice and water. So make sure to play the part. Don't cosplay Toushiro if you're 6' and try to find a good white wig and maybe even some teal contacts for the day.

it is a tad bitter, and im hoping more chocolates and roasted malts will show up with time.

drinkability: standard yeti gold.

Wow there is more to this version of the Yeti than I thought,cayenne...hmmm.Poured a jet black with a fluffy mocha colored head that left a creamy mass after leaving multiple sheets of lace as it settled very slowly.Aromas of vaniila/oak and bitter chocolate and some roastiness.Flavors start out with hefty roast and bitter chocolate with cayenne hitting in the finish wich is very noticeable by me,not sure how others have felt about the cayenne presence.Not sure if that cayenne presence is welcomed by me,its a bit annoying.I like the complexity and the uniquness but not my thing so much,although its not bad just for the record.

On tap at the Oak cafe - 2010 vintage. Pours a black super-nova color with a luscious and creamy looking deep-tan head comprises of bubbles so fine you can barely make them out. Good staying power and retention, though the lacing was minimal overall.
The aroma creeps out before you even bring this one to your nose. A deep, chocolate aroma hits your nostrils first - a sinister hybrid of sweet milky chocolate and bitter dark chocolate. An oaky, wood chips sweetness follows it up and keeps things leveled out. This one simply smells rich and robust, like a triple chocolate lava cake meltdown served on a burnt oak platter.
Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti hits the palate smooth and silky, thick, but not to the point of being chewy or sludgy, although it surly can hold its own. The canvas is constructed of heavy oak flavors and even some bourbon notes. I don't know if the barrels this was aged in previously held bourbon or not, but I wouldn't be surprised to find that out. Succeeding sips reveal an even more deep and dense chocolate flavor than the aroma would lead on - like a bittersweet, rich Devil's food cake or a melted Godiva chocolate bar.
As sweet as it sounds, it's never cloying, as the sugary explosion is held in check by the bitter side of the chocolate, as well as the robust and borderline-bitter nutty and dark chocolate aftertaste. Notes of char reside at certain places but don't take up too much of the bill. As the beer got warmer, a certain spice flickered up, almost herbal and ashy. Apparently it's chili powder? I wouldn't have guessed that - it almost could pass as an intensely dry hop profile. Not distracting, just slightly unexpected. Great carbonation, then again, it was from a tap.
Wow, I'm glad I finally got to try this one. On tap, nonetheless. And the 2010 version. Good night for me, I suppose. I think I prefer the Espresso counterpart to the Yeti series over this one, although it's been a while since I've had it. This one was no slouch, however. I have a feeling the entire Yeti series is worthwhile. Now I must seek out the rest.

The color is black. That is if black were mostly black with a brown twinge . . . Completely opaque with a beautiful brown head. The nose is of very bitter dark chocolate, coupled with a wonderful aroma of medium roasted, coarsely ground coffee beans . . . Wow!
The beer smells so good that I have to dive in immediately! Pummels the palate with liquefied chocolate . . . Fudge, molasses, vanilla, and mocha. Oak tannin present. This beer is ridiculous. By the time you are getting a grip on the malt, which pleasantly assaults your palate, the hops are beginning to replace the sweetness of the malt with intense green bitterness that intensifies as the beer finishes. The beer finishes for minutes . . .
All the while, keeping all of the previously mentioned flavors present, and somehow getting more bitter. The ABV% is constantly in the background throughout, be ready and enjoy.

Bottled on 5/28/10 and reviewed yesterday, the day of all ones. Thanks to TCGoalie for the gift. I enjoyed this brew with zoso1967.
Into a snifter Yeti appears very dark with just an inkling of dark brown around the edges. The head is chocolate milk colored with great retaining power when swirled; it debuted at one and a half fingers from a split bomber. The lacing left on the glass is elegant, with pretty fine streaks and blobs.
This smell is crazy and has a lot going on. Milk chocolate is the most prevalent aroma, with the cayenne adding just enough of a spicy kick in my nostrils. When I excite the beer molecules a roasted malt scent is more noticeable. The oak chip aging adds a creamy and smooth vanilla aroma.
As soon as I opened my mouth for the sip I felt heat from the cayenne. Then when the beer hit my tongue, the chocolate melted in my mouth and was accompanied by a roasted malt presence that really tingled on the mid-section of my tongue. At the finish the cayenne really warms the back of my throat and combines with a dry coffee-like and hop bitterness to clean my palate. As the beer warms more and more to room temperature the cayenne is more pronounced in the flavor.
The mouthfeel was creamy, decadent, and medium-bodied at the beginning of the tasting when the beer was a little cooler. When the beer warms, the body retains some creaminess, but a biting presence from the hops and cayenne becomes a lot more pronounced.
This is nicely drinkable beer considering the addition of cayenne and the alcohol content. In fact, the component ingredients do a nice job covering said alcohol amount. The journey from about 50 degrees to room temperature is a fun one, as the character of the beer changes a lot in that range. This is a brew that I will look for again and is a complex and enjoyable sipper.

A- Pours pitch black with a generous cappucino colored head.
S- Milk chocolate, roasted coffee, vanilla. Not as peppery as I remembered from the first time I tried it.
T&M- Full velvety mouthfeel with chocolate dominating the palate. Subtle fruit and cream as red peppers fade in toward the finish.
D- Not something i'll drink often but quite tasty and i'll surely committ a couple to the cellar with the rest of my Yeti's.

Black hole pour with a quarter inch of tan foam on top. Good spotty lacing on the glass. Aromas of rich dark malts and cocoa. Coffee, cream and oak. Mild hoppy bitterness. Vanilla and toffee work in with the underlying chocolate.
First sip brings big smooth dark malts upfront. Chocolate is vibrant with a bit of coffee as well. Vanilla cream moves into oak accents. A bit of cayenne heat on the finish is quite a nice treat for me. The spiciness and mellow heat really gives this beer some extra oomph. Well balanced overall.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and creamy. Would be a good desert beer for sure! Another tasty Great Divide brew. I'm looking forward to the Espresso Yeti in my cellar.

A: Dark as night. Chocolate syrup midnight swirl...if it were an ice cream. Might as well be...mmm.
S: Cocoa, chocolate, heavy stout smell.
T: Cocoa nibs. Nuff said.
M: Thick, heavy, full-bodied. What a stout should be. Cinder and milk chocolate...yeah.
O: Very delicious beer. I can't say I can differentiate too much between this and the espresso yeti, but who the hell cares. Both are phenomenal beers.

22 oz bottle, bottled on 7/16/09. Pours a dark black-brown with a creamy dark brown head that diminishes to a thin film that laces the glass.
The aroma is sweet lactic chocolate, with some cayenne and black licorice and roast.
The flavor is sweet lactic chocolate with a lot of roast, some licorice and a tarry cayenne pepper bitter finish. The cayenne pepper adds a note of red hots that is interesting and gives a little burn in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and a little watery.
Overall, an excellent beer. I like what the chocolate and cayenne adds to an already fine stout. I like this a lot better than the oak aged yeti. A little better in the nose and mouthfeel and this could be a perfect beer.

Riders participate in the 2013 Sweaty Yeti. / Steve Meurett/For Wisconsinoutdoorfun.com
The Fatbike scene is not going away and there is more than enough interest among fatbike riders to gather together as frequently as possible to pound the pedals. We organized a small fatbike race last winter to provide that opportunity and brought it back, with double the entrants this year again.
The Sweaty Yeti is now a founding race in The 9:Zero:7 Wisconsin State Fat-Bike Race Series, sponsored by Fatbikes.com, Fat-Bike.com and local sponsors, like Sand Creek Brewery for the Sweaty. The Neillsville Area Trail Association is the instigator behind the race, a group of dedicated trail builders South West of Neillsville Wisconsin. The race format tend to be simple-2 to 3 hour races with solo or fun three person teams and course laps that usually are short and fun. It all gets started with a shotgun Le Mans sprint to the bikes and they're off.
Recent snowfalls didn't do the trail builders and favors and hours of packing by snow machine and snowshoes were required to get everything in ridable shape. Mother nature helped out on race day by warming things up a bit and "burning" in the trail.

The 2013 Sweaty Yeti featured a new section of trail, built (for now) as a winter only fatbike route-the locals call it the Bear Den Trail after a false discovery of-yes, you guessed it, a bear den. This section of trail had the racers doing a tough low gear climb over a snow covered rocky crag, then flying down narrow singletrack with some high banked corners returning them to the start finish line. As the day progressed, riders reported that the trail only became better and better-the fun factor being very high!
Fatbike races are low key, no-one-is-too-serious events, where enjoying the bikes, the snow and old and new friends are at the top of the list-not that competition isn't also present-it is, but it seems to be much friendlier than other bike races. There was even some very serious talk of organizing an entire weekend of Fatbike-O-rama next year, with winter camping, riding and the race in order to have the tribe around for more than a few hours of fatbike fun. I personally think it'll happen. Levis Mound has the facility and more than enough fatbike winter trail to make it a super weekend of riding.

Tutorials, Junior Project, & Senior Thesis
He is at home in any society, he has common ground with every class; he knows when to speak and when to be silent; he is able to converse, he is able to listen; he can ask a question pertinently, and gain a lesson seasonably, when he has nothing to impart himself; he is ever ready, yet never in the way; he is a pleasant companion, and a comrade you can depend upon; he knows when to be serious and when to trifle, and he has a sure tact which enables him to trifle with gracefulness and to be serious with effect.
–from John Henry Cardinal Newman's The Idea of a University
Most contemporary courses of study in higher education aim at the production of a specialized skill that will be immediately profitable in the modern economy. Liberal education, however, aims at the production of a certain kind of human being, a man or woman whose soul is characterized by a love for what is noble and whose speech and action are compelling witnesses to the value of a life spent in pursuit of the good. At Thomas More College, even those parts of the curriculum which are devoted to specialized learning have a crucial role to play in integral human formation.
The College's tutorial system provides an opportunity for individual students to shape a portion of their course of studies. Students take one tutorial course in each of their last four semesters of study. Some students will choose to pursue their own personally-tailored course of study in a particular academic discipline. Others may opt for a systematic testing of different talents and subjects. In the Junior Tutorials, the classes may be arranged around an author, a genre, a time period, or a problem. The Senior Tutorials are organized according to more conventional academic disciplines, such as Classics or Literature, or to vocational pursuits, such as Architecture or Education. In either case, the small size of the tutorials provides for careful training in thinking, writing, and speaking, so that students might further hone the abilities they have gained from the common curriculum.
In the case of the Junior Project—a course of independent reading leading to an oral presentation and examination—and the Senior Thesis, individual student interest and creativity are given a still sharper focus. The goal of these exercises is less to prove expertise than it is to bring to a level of polish and maturity those skills of analysis, judgment, and exposition that are the very backbone of any liberal education worthy of the name. These exercises are meant to be the fruits of the whole educational experience and to prove that each student has personally appropriated the wisdom and eloquence that the whole community seeks in common.
Courses within the tutorial system include:
Junior Tutorials
(2 semesters of 3 credit hours each during third year of studies)
The Tutorial System is the vehicle for the exploration of topics that are of special interest of students and professors in small groups dedicated to closely-guided reading, writing, and discussion.
The Junior Tutorials seek to pursue (in greater depth and along particular branches of knowledge) a special subject treated more broadly in the common curriculum, and may be defined according to an author or text, a genre or period, or a question or theme. Examples might include: Sophocles, Shakespeare's Sonnets, the Novel, the Pre-Socratics, Descartes & Cartesianism, Nietzsche & Post-Modernism, Periclean Athens, the Crusades, Epistemology, Totalitarianism, Byzantium, Augustine's Sermons on the Psalms, Aquinas's Commentary on St. John's Gospel, or the Pontificate of John Paul II.
Junior Project
(required, no credits during third year of studies)
Arising out of the junior tutorials, this project and examination are the testing grounds for early mastery of the material in the curriculum; both focus upon an author and works of special interest to the particular student. Working independently, the student prepares over the course of his junior year for an oral examination before a faculty panel. The student must demonstrate not only depth of insight into the particular readings completed, but breadth and eloquence; in short, he demonstrates that he has been attentive not only for a semester, but has worked to integrate the knowledge of his various courses with the emergent interests that he has in a particular area.
Senior Tutorials
(2 semesters of 3 credits each during fourth year of studies)
The Senior tutorials provide an opportunity for the in-depth examination of a common topic and the honing of essential scholarly skills as well as for a period of directed reflection upon the student's response to his vocation. The tutorials are organized around either conventional academic disciplines (Classics, History, Literature, Philosophy, Politics, and Theology) or, at times, more directly vocational disciplines, such as Architecture, Economics, Education, and the Law.
Senior Thesis & Comprehensive Examination
(2 semesters of 2 credits each during fourth year of studies)
During the last year of study, the student prepares, writes, and presents a thesis accompanied by a formal address on a topic chosen with the guidance of a faculty mentor. The defense is given publicly and involves both a comprehensive examination, and a précis and speech that afford the opportunity for further review and reflection upon the totality of his studies.

Allis B
I'm doing some work on an Allis Chalmers B and ran into a couple questions.
I need a fan belt. The tractor is an early version, 1939. A single belt runs the fan and the generator. It has an adjustable width pulley on the fan for adjusting tension. It has a generator with a fixed position upper bracket. I suppose this combination may have come about from starting with no electrical system and the generator added later. I looked at NAPAonline and found 3 belts listed. They all appear to be the same width but the lengths were 32.78, 36 7/8 and 34 1/8. I looked online at All States Ag Parts and they list one length, 37.89. Best I could measure the remains of the old belt, it looks like about 35 inches.
The generator upper bracket has 2 bends in it and has an overall shape that approximates an "L". If one bend was eliminated to make it a simple L shape, it would move the generator out enough to probably need another inch or so of belt. I wonder if somebody had a belt that wasn't long enough and rebent the upper bracket to make it fit. I don't know if the generator pulley is correct, but it looks reasonable. The adjustable pulley has nearly half of the adjustment available. I don't think any belt shorter than the old one can fit, but the longer ones are quite a bit longer. Does anyone know what brackets and belts belong on it? How about belt part numbers? Maybe a parts catalog that illustrates the bracket or gives some serial number breaks?
Another question, the steering wheel freely moves up and down quite a bit. It seems to just have the steering shaft inside the outer tube with no other support. Anybody know what sort of bushing, insert or ?? belongs in the tube to support the shaft. Doesn't look like the steering wheel has been off, so whatever was there has either broken apart and fallen out or slid down the tube.
Re: Allis B
Out of curiosity, I googled Allis Chalmers B Generator Bracket and Belts and got a few hits, one of which was this one on VINTAGE ALLIS CHALMERS WC TRACTOR GENERATOR BRACKET SET
Does this help?

Re: Allis B
Jim, I was out and asked our tractor guru your questions. He refurbishes and resells antique tractors. He found belt #'s in his Tisco catalog that were related to SN, but didn't quite understand the rest of the question. He said there was no bushing in the steering mount, just steel on steel, and didn't think there was even a grease or oil hole.

Re: Allis B
From WC Allis parts book. Ross steering gear. Under the cover there is a snap ring on top of the worm gear assembly holding a ball bearing assembly in place.
Either the snap ring is not in place or the upper bearing is shot. Loss of the bearing or snap ring or both would let the steering wheel/shaft move back and fort.
Looks like an easy repair. Hard part will be removing the steering sector from the tractor.
Edit: Probably mis-understood which up and down movement. Same parts manual shows a"Bushing, Jacket, worm shaft", Part number 226645, that fits inside the tube. Part number may not be the same for the B.
From the picture in the parts book, it's one substancial bushing. Can't tell but it doesn't look like it's all metal construction.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Allis B
The generator mount and tensioning bracket as shown were used on the B in 1950, I know. And in other years also. The 1950 is the one with which I have experience. I do not know about the earliest models.
Luck favors those who are prepared
Re: Allis B
The generator upper bracket shown in the WC parts manual is as Jim described - no adjustment.
The belt is only described with an Allis part number. Different motor - wouldn't fit any way.
Check the generator's bottom bracket - see if there is any adjustment there. Parts book shows two different bottom brackets. One apears to be adjustable - other not.
Another Edit: The Lavine steering gear was used up until mid 1939/1940. Date depends on which serial number chart used. The Lavine also has a bushing in the upper end of the tube. But and a big but - Note says that if you had a Lavine steering gear and something went wrong - you had to replace the whole thing with the Ross.
Generator bracket changed in the same time frame as mentioned above.
Another Edit: Guy Fay, Allis Chalmers 1933-1957. Another steering gear, "Gemmer" was used interchangable with the Ross. Gemmer for a series of serial numbers, then Ross, them Gemmer, etc.. Steering gear parts are now hard to find, specially the Gemmer.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Allis B
The tractor serial number appears to be 12907, so pretty early (unless there is another 1 in front, but it looks more like a cast-in screw head way to the left). The generator is Delco 1101413, which I find listed as correct for some Bs. The generator date code is 1A8, which would be January 8 of some year that ends with 1 -- '41? '51? Either way, it was probably added or replaced some time after the tractor was built.
I do have to back up on what I said about the upper generator bracket not being adjustable. I found identical brackets on eBay and the upper bracket appeared to have a slot. So I checked again and found it does have an adjustment slot, but only an inch or so. I have never seen one with so little adjustment before so I didn't realize there was any. It is currently sitting about in the middle of the slot. The eBay parts also confirmed the second bend in the bracket as original. Here it is:
I tried the "public access" online TISCO catalog but couldn't find belts in it. If I can get the AC part number for the proper belt for this version of everything, I'm sure I could cross reference it to a size or available belt.
The steering problem is the steering shaft support right at the steering wheel. I'm sure that I can make something that will take care of it. But I would like to know what belongs there, at least have some idea of what I am trying to copy.
I have taken some pictures that may clarify my questions, but I am posting this much for now and will come back with the pictures.
Re: Allis B
Jim, The TISCO catalog said that for a SN prior to 3001, the belt was a D-10; after that it was a D-14. I don't know if that helps or even if it's accurate.

Re: Allis B
Cub Cadets/Ross steering sectors have a plastic bushing that sits in the top of the tube.
Basically a plastic part. Can be cut on a wood or metal lathe. Hole in center slightly larger than the steering rod. Outside diameter fits snubly into the tube. Lip on the top to keep the bushing from falling into the tube.
If the owner doesn't care about looking original - just functional. As above without the lip. Drill small holes on opposite sides of the tube. Slide bushing into place. Sheet metal screws to hold in place or if below the bushing to keep the bushing from droping further into the tube.
From pictures in the WC parts book, the bushing is several inches long - perhaps 3 inches long.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Allis B
Here is a picture of the upper generator bracket.
And here is the steering bushing problem.
Re: Allis B
Measure the distance from the end of the tube to the back side of the recess in the steering wheel. Remove the steering wheel and measure the recess diameter. Subtract a bit from each measurement, this will provide the measurements for the lip on the bushing.
Measure the steering rod and inside diameter of the tube.
Visit your local hardware store - pvc plumbing supplies for a reducing coupling/bushing.
If you have a very old Agco/Allis dealership in your area they may still have the part.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Allis B
Not sure about the steering on a B but my C has a bushing and seal towards the top of the steering tube.
Re: Allis B
Jim, I have a service manual for the Allis B & C tractors which shows text and a picture of the the belt adjustment. Also the Gimmer and Ross steering box cut-away with text and pictures. I can't do pictures but if you will send me an email address, I'll copy these and send it via email. Good luck
Re: Allis B
I know this is kind of an old thread. But I imagine some of you will see this update. I finally got the cooling system maintenance done and moved it back to the museum about a week ago. I internet ordered a belt from All States Ag Parts, which they had listed as 37.89" long. When it came, it was labeled 37 1/4 long. It fit OK. I did set the adjustable pulley on the fan a bit wider as it didn't appear that the speed ratio between the crankshaft and water pump was quite up to what the book calls for.
Once I had the belt, hoses and coolant replaced, I decided to look into the charging system. After making a new jumper from the generator to the cut-out and cleaning up all the connections, it charged. Most of the cleanup needed was for the ground circuit at the switch and electrical box end of things. I disconnected one end of the low charge resistor on the switch and swung it out to one side, changing the Lo - HI choice to NO - HI. This way, we can crank or tow start it without a battery. As long as the switch is in the low charge position, it won't hurt the generator to not have a battery.
I decided to let the steering stay as it is for another year (or more). There really is a bushing missing from the steering shaft near the steering wheel. Without doing some major disassembly, I don't know whether it totally disintegrated or if it just degraded enough to slide down the steering shaft. Actually doing anything constructive to the steering requires removing the steering wheel. It will probably have to be cut off to remove it. Not ready to start that project yet. By the way, using the parts diagrams I was finally able to decide it has a Gemmer steering gear rather than a Ross.
I want to thank everyone for their contributions to this project. I especially want to thank staninlowerAL for the additional details he sent me via emails.
Re: Allis B
Jim, you are very welcome. Glad I could make a contribution. And thanks to you for the information about the museum and the link to the site. I found that I have a dirt scoop that is identical to one that is on display. I was wondering where I would be able to get information to ID it, so your link solved the problem for me. I've never seen another one like it. Stan
