Post subject: LXF 146 Arduino Tutorial
Anyone complete this Project? (Turning a light on or off depending on the current lighting level). I have the code compiled and uploaded on the arduino but I am unsure how to connect the resistor and LED to the arduino. Anyone willing to help out a arduino beginner?
For this project I have I think all the components, the arduino software, the arduino one board and a 10k -Ohm resistor
and a green LED with a build-in-resistor.
Could it be I don't have the right components. Is A light dependent resistor the same as a LED with a built in resistor?
And how the heck does the 10k - Ohm resistor work in all this? It's basically a small straight wire with some component stuff in the middle and where the heck does it go?
Anyway I'm just a beginner and still learning and researching it.
I went online and found an easier arduino tutorial and was able to successful compile and upload a (blink program) to the arduino and succesfully connected the LED to the board but the tutorial in LXF 146 is giving me some problems.
Any help would be appreciated.

Post subject: LXF 146 Arduino Tutorial
Hi madoba,
I've not completed the project, but I may be able to lend a hand.
From the list of components you give, you don't seem to have an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor). However, the green LED that you do list is still needed here, just elsewhere. For this tutorial, the LED should be connected to the board as it is for the blink programme, so you are on the right track here.
To answer your question, an LDR is not the same thing as an LED (Light Emitting Diode). An LDR is like the 10k ohm resistor but its resistance varies with the amount of light falling on it. They typically have a high resistance in the dark (a few megaohms) and a lower resistance in light (a few kiloohms), depending on the brightness of your light source. I've found the following links to show you what an LDR looks like:
LDR picture 1
LDR picture 2
. These two pictures may not look that similar but the difference between them is mostly due to how the sensor is packaged. To connect the 10k (see [1]) resistor and the LDR to the board correctly, connect one leg of the LDR to the "5V" pin, the other leg of the LDR to the 10k resistor and the other, free leg of the 10k resistor to the "GND" pin. Now connect the junction made between the LDR and the 10k resistor to the "A1" pin.
To answer your other question, there are two things going on here with the 10k resistor and the LDR (see [2]). The first thing is that the 10k resistor will set the maximum current that can flow through the LDR (and itself). If the LDR were in very bright light, its resistance would be close to zero and therefore the current through the LDR would be nearly equal to 5 (volts) divided by the resistance of the ordinary, invariable resistor. Using a 10k resistor here gives a maximum current of 0.0005 amps (or 0.5 milliamps), by Ohm's Law (V = I * R). As there will also be a voltage drop across the LDR (more on this later), the voltage dropped multiplied by the current will give the amount of power the LDR has to dissipate (P = V * I). As this power is dissipated as heat, too much and the LDR will be damaged or even melted/burned. Hence, careful selection of the value of this invariable resistor will protect the LDR. The second thing (hinted at earlier) is that the two resistors will divide up the 5 volts that you have put across them in proportion to their resistances. Hence, this circuit fragment is called a
voltage divider
(or potential divider, see the link on how they work). As the resistance of the LDR changes with the amount of light that shines on it, the voltage at the junction between the LDR and the 10k resistor also changes, as a result of this voltage division. As this voltage is sensed by the board at pin "A1", you now have a light level sensor to which your Arduino can be programmed to respond.
I hope this helps, sorry if you know any of this already but as you say you are starting out, I thought some detail was appropriate. Enjoy your adventures with Arduino and let me know here how you get on.
All the best,
[1] As resistance is always measured in ohms, electronic engineers usually omit this (the unit) in circuit diagrams and just give the number and a multiplier of the value of the resistor, so k = kilo, 1,000; M = mega, 1,000,000 etc., thus 10k is 10,000 ohms.
[2] Resistors are known as passive components and as such just do what their resistance value (and ability to dissipate heat) dictates. They don't "work" as such. That blob (some sort of plastic or resin) in the middle of the "wire" contains the resistance and the two legs (both good conductors) connect to either end of the resistance. It only looks like a blob on a single piece of wire.

Hey Bruno thinks for the info, I suspected that. So what I did was went up to radio shack and picked up a LDR, and a breadboard, wire and other components, and after spending a few hours researching arduino on the internet, it's all starting to make sense. I'm even starting to understand the pictures in the article, and yes even the resistor thingy.
Anyway one thing I have'nt figured out yet, And i've put the project away until next weekend, is why the value from the analogRead(LDR) code varies so much. I thought this thing was a light detector and if so why are the values jumping all around the place, is'nt the light consistent. I don't quite understand why it does this. I've added code to turn off the LED if the value is over 500, and on, if it's below 500 and the LED keeps turning off and on like a christmas tree.
// ** Main loop **************************************************
void loop() {
val =
; //read the sensor value
Serial.print("light reading:");
if (val > 500) {
digitalWrite(LED, LOW);
delay(2000); }
else {
digitalWrite(LED, HIGH);
delay(2000); }
P.S. Hey how's that media player working you built in the tuxradar tutorial?

Hi madoba,
Glad to see things are coming together.
How much does the value from the analogRead(LDR) change? I just rigged up the circuit on my board and got a fairly consistent 700 +/- 5. If I move around or move some objects around, I can get variations of +/- 300 or so but not when I'm still.
Could the LDR be picking up varying light levels from changing images on your monitor or reflections of a moving object, such as a fan? Also, does the value oscillate between two fairly consistent values? If so, the LDR may be picking up light from the LED. Does it point towards it? When the LED is on, your sketch could be commanding it to switch off and vice versa.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking about the Qt tutorial. If you post something on that topic's page, I'll let you know how I'm getting on.

Post subject: Variable resistor help
Hi modoba:
I see you're making some progress in your quest to get this thing going. The part you are looking for is a cadmium sulfide photo cell. These items are comparatively old technology. I recall seeing them in articles when vacuum tubes, (electron valves), were still very much in use. As you indicated, they are readily available at your Radio Shack. I recently picked up a package of them to repair some defective solar side walk lights. You get a package of five or so in different sizes. For your application, any of them should do. Regarding the bouncing readings you are measuring, these could be an artifact of florescent lighting in the area. These things pulsate at a rate of 60Hz in the U.S., and 50 Hz in the U.K. Depending on the sample rate of the program, you could be sensing light levels at different times of the pulse cycle. To see if I am correct, replace the photo cell with a 1 M Ohm variable resistor. If the the value changes, but remains consistent as you rotate the resistor's knob, then it is most likely pulsating lights in the room. As for how to connect the electronics to the micro controller board, there is a color figure in the upper right hand corner of page #15. There is also a more complete wiring diagram, including the Schmitt trigger, pictured at the top of page #14.
Hope this helps.

Bruno you were right, (wow this was a long time in coming) the values were varying due to the monitor because I was running the arduino right next to it. OOPPS! Sadly
this was the only arduino project I attempted. I'll have to try to take some other Arduino projects up again sometime. Thanks!

Newcombe honors his idol Jackie in LA
Former Dodgers pitcher speaks of Robinson's influence
LOS ANGELES -- Don Newcombe took to a podium behind home plate at Dodger Stadium Thursday night with a thin piece of paper in hand. Sitting behind him, listening, were Dodgers owner Frank McCourt, Tommy Lasorda, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Frank Robinson, "Sweet" Lou Johnson and Tommy Davis.
he paper contained just three words, as Newcombe spoke into the microphone, "Thank you, Jackie."
The Dodgers and D-backs wore No. 42 like all of baseball Thursday in honor of Jackie Robinson, who broke Major League Baseball's color barrier on April 15, 1947. The Dodgers will wear the jerseys again Friday when the Giants come to town for a three-game series. San Francisco was off Thursday.
For Newcombe, a teammate of Robinson's for six seasons and a soon-to-be 84-year-old who has survived cancer, he had no doubt of what Robinson did for his life.
"Jackie Robinson period, not just Jackie Robinson Day, will be important to me as long as I live," said Newcombe, who threw out the first pitch to center fielder Matt Kemp. "Jackie Robinson is my idol, he's been my idol all these years and he's in a great way responsible for me doing whatever I was able to do with my career."
Between home and third, while the Dodgers took batting practice, Newcombe told stories as he mingled with people on the field: the first of how he was touring for the government at a school in New Orleans, waiting to speak to children in a library. He looked around and didn't see one book on Jackie Robinson.
"I sent 'em boxes of books on Jackie and [the principal] said he'd put them in the library," Newcombe said. "So if that's the case in New Orleans, it's the same elsewhere. They didn't know about the history of Jackie."
It's why Newcombe said, the day will continue to hold importance to future generations. Not everyone knows Jackie's story.

The visitors exchanged views on a range of topics, including NATO's Strategic Concept, the recent NATO Summit in Chicago, Afghanistan and the consolidation of NATO's partnerships with Afghanistan and the Central Asian Republics. "The Chicago Summit was a very important marking point," said Mr.Mirdad Nejrab, Chairman of the Internal Affairs Committee of the Afghan Lower House. "We welcomed the decisions undertaken in that venue to support the consolidation of lasting security in Afghanistan. We are determined to stay the course, with NATO assistance," he continued.
Mr.Nurlan Abdirov, Deputy of Mahzilis of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan added, "We in Kazakhstan see a direct connection between the security of Afghanistan and the security of Kazakhstan. We reiterate our readiness to play our part within the collective effort of international assistance of Afghanistan after 2014."
Ambassador Brengelmann thanked the representatives of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan for the progress made on transit arrangements in support of the NATO-led engagement in Afghanistan and emphasised NATO's ongoing commitment to Afghanistan, "throughout the end of 2014 and beyond". He also remarked on the importance that NATO attributes to further developing partnership arrangements with all the countries represented within the visiting delegation, again stressing that such partnerships are "compatible and complementary with other partner arrangements developed by these countries".
The visit provided also an opportunity for Tajik parliamentarians to share their views in the context of the celebrations for the 15th anniversary of the general agreement on the establishment of peace and national reconciliation in Tajikistan.
On 7 July, the group visited SHAPE, where they met General Lange, SHAPE Chief of Staff and other officials. In Brussels, the group also met with Mr David Hobbs, Secretary General of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly. The meeting provided an opportunity to exchange views on ways for Afghan, Kazakh, Kyrgyz and Tajik parliamentarians to reinforce collaboration with the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.

PALO ALTO, Calif. — It's difficult to overstate how completely we Americans are ruled by television. On a typical day, you and your fellow countrymen watch about four hours and 39 minutes of live TV, plus an additional 26 minutes of "time-shifted" (i.e., DVR'd) programming, according to Nielsen. That's more time, by far, than we spend with any other technology: more than we surf the Web, more than we use our phones, more than we play video games. In a given week, the average American child will spend more than a full day — nearly 27 hours — in front of the tube. And children don't even watch as much TV as adults. Generally, the older you get in America, the more television sucks you in. The average senior citizen spends more than two full days of every week in front of the TV.
It has been ever thus. In some ways the most astonishing fact about television isn't how much we watch now, but how much we've always watched, and how impervious TV has been to every cultural and technological shift in recent American history. Consider everything that's happened in society over the last few decades. More women went to work, everyone's working hours increased, we quit bowling leagues, we suffered through a handful of recessions and enjoyed a couple booms, and we endured several wars. We also got the Web, mobile gadgets, better game consoles, e-readers, DVRs, BitTorrent, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Other media industries — journalism, music, publishing, video games — have been transformed or decimated by these changes. But TV? Whatever else has happened in American life, TV just kept doing better. If you look at a chart of household TV viewing from 1950 to 2009, it's a straight upward arrow. In the last couple years, live TV-viewing has begun to dip just slightly, but the decline has been offset by a rise in time-shifted viewing. Overall, despite every technology that has come along to usurp or disrupt it, we watch about as much TV in 2013 as we've ever watched.

text: It's not holding the skaters back when they just don't have the invites. But I agree that Daleman should get the Skate Canada TBA, especially without a triple loop. Combining that with 1 or 2 Senior B events will still get her on track re ranking points and there is always the possibility of picking up another GP (didn't happen for Osmond last year but I think Daleman is higher up on the alternate list). I'd still like to see Mallet get a Senior B. Hopefully both spots at Salt Lake City are used this year. In terms of JGP, I would also add novice champ Zoe Gong to the list I made above - she had a strong start at Skate Detroit with over 46 points in the SP.

Re: Earthquake in Maine
Very noticable here in central NH--sounded/felt like combination of a helicopter hovering right over the house and a super-heavy truck rumbling by. 4.6 on the Richter scale.
How can you have too many Cubs????
Re: Earthquake in Maine
wow! 4.6 is pretty strong for the shield.

Re: Earthquake in Maine
Sorry , I just opened this thread very late. I was in two Earthquakes in the Washington DC area recently . Like you said, I thought a helicopter was landing or crashing on the roof. The second one ( epicenter Mineral Va.) was even worse. Very strange for the east coast area.

Mexico's original beach town has reclaimed its old-school allure.
Long before Cancún or Los Cabos or the Riviera Maya were even specks on the tourist map, Acapulco reigned as Mexico's coastal queen. Acapulqueños have recently worked hard to restore Old Acapulco and the Costera, and posh resorts and malls have risen in the newest neighborhood, Acapulco Diamante. The result is a thoroughly modern vacation destination rich in culture and history. Now is the time to visit—or revisit—the place where Mexico's tourism fame was born.
In the early Hollywood days, Playa Caleta and Playa Caletilla, on the western shores of Acapulco Bay, saw the most action. Today, the '50s have returned with the restoration of the beachfront Hotel Boca Chica. The designers faithfully retained the mid-century architecture and the tiny Coco Wash disco, which has become the hippest hangout in town. Chef Keisuke Harada creates platters of sushi and Kobe burgers for happy hordes at the hotel's restaurants; on weekends, locals pull their yachts up to the dock and linger for hours over mescal martinis.
With Boca Chica grabbing attention, travelers are also being lured to the palapa-shaded fish shacks on Playa Caletilla. Here families gather beneath blue umbrellas, and water taxis take swimmers to the clear waters off Isla Roqueta, just 10 minutes away. At the nearby Plaza Alvarez (also called the zócalo), elderly gents study their newspapers at sidewalk cafés as kids scamper around the filigreed bandstand. Across the street, fishermen lay out their nets beside docks where party boats collect passengers for sunset sailings.
In the winding streets high above Old Acapulco, sightseers gather at La Quebrada to witness the famed clavadistas, or cliff divers. During the show, a lone diver poses atop a jagged, precipitous cliff. Below, waves crash against rocks before settling into a small swirling pool. In the blink of an eye, the diver swoops toward the sea. Onlookers applaud as he emerges from the water, and another duplicates his feat.
Most visitors to the Costera devote the sunlight hours to lounging poolside, browsing in arcades and malls and playing in the bay. Pint-sized fun-seekers enjoy the rides at Papagayo Park and the waterslides at CICI waterpark.
As evening sets in, families head to the Hard Rock Cafe for burgers and ribs. Partygoers seek out tables at Paradise or Beto's, among the best of the clubs on the sand, or retire to high-end restaurants and discos in the hills. Horse-drawn calesas (carriages) clomp along the Costera, delivering dancers to Baby 'O, one of the best-known discos. And fireworks and laser beams shoot over the bay from the hilltop clubs until dawn.
Perhaps the best evidence of Acapulco's resurgence lies in the burgeoning Diamante neighborhood. Stretching from the Costera up the steep, winding Scenic Highway, Diamante has legendary discos, championship golf courses, lavish resorts, a concert hall and a shiny new mall.
Several large timeshare resorts are also found on the beaches of Acapulco Diamante, close to attractions like the La Isla shopping center at Punta Diamante, which has lured some of the Costera's well-known establishments (including the family-friendly yet rowdy Carlos'n Charlie's). Kids can head to the mall's Aqua Planet, with bumper boats and mini-golf, as well as displays that teach about water conservation. And at Mundo Imperial, an enormous development with a convention center and hotel, the stars of today appear at the Forum, a state-of-the-art concert hall. With the three sides of Acapulco all in a state of transformation, Mexico's coastal queen is once again the biggest star on the map.

Ledezma took the hard-luck loss for the World Team on Sunday thanks to a two-run error, but he won a return to Detroit as Tigers president/general manager Dave Dombrowski announced just before Ledezma took the mound for his inning of relief that he would join the team Thursday at Comerica Park and pitch out of the bullpen.
The return to Detroit, where Ledezma spent all of last season as a Rule 5 draft selection, caps a dominant first half for the 23-year-old left-hander at Double-A Erie. He went 10-3 for the Seawolves with a 2.42 ERA, allowing 95 hits over 111 2/3 innings with 98 strikeouts.
His name kept popping up as a possible solution for Detroit's inconsistent pitching staff, but the team hesitated to call him up. As it turned out, the combination of a high innings count and an obvious need for relief help set up his return to the Major Leagues.
"We felt for a while that he could pitch here, that he could help us," Dombrowski said. "We didn't have a need starting, and we didn't want to put him in the bullpen too early because we wanted him to continue to work on his breaking ball. But now we've reached a point where with our needs and with the number of innings that he has, that we're ready to go ahead and do that."
The Tigers want to limit Ledezma to about 150 innings this year. Placing him in the bullpen for the second half, Dombrowski said, allows the Detroit coaching staff to watch that mark while helping him work on his game in hopes of winning a rotation spot in 2005. Dombrowski also cautioned that if a rotation spot opened up due to injury or trade, he'd be considered.
Ledezma's success with his sharper curveball and changeup, plus the addition of a two-seam fastball, are viewed as the most important improvements he's made since being sent to Erie during Spring Training. He used his mid-90s fastball, change and sometimes nasty curve to success at times for the Tigers in 2003.
Not surprisingly, he feels he's more prepared for the Majors the second time around.
"I've got more experience this year," he said. "More consistency. I feel great."
Plus, the Tigers have a better team right now. Asked if it was better winning at Erie this year or taking losses at Detroit last year, Ledezma simply smiled.
Sunday might have been the first time since his Tigers days last season that he took a hard-luck loss. He gave up two singles but also struck out highly-touted Delmon Young. He used an inside fastball to induce a fly ball from B.J. Upton, but right fielder Shin-Soo Choo couldn't handle it. The miscue brought in two runs for a lead the U.S. team wouldn't relinquish.
"I think I pitched well," he said, "because I think I threw all my pitches when I wanted."
Soon after, Dombrowski met Ledezma with the news. "I'm happy," he said.
To make room for Ledezma, the Tigers optioned right-handed reliever Franklyn German back to Triple-A Toledo. German gave up eight runs, five earned, in 4 1/3 innings while walking six in his continuing battle to control his fastball.
"I see him as a young guy who's having trouble getting over the hump right now," Dombrowski said. "We still like him a great deal. He's pitched great at Triple-A, dominated there. He's just had a hard time getting over the hump. I've seen it happen with a bunch of young guys. You keep hoping it's the last time you have to [option him], but it's not."

We love kids here at Palmetto Dunes and we like to keep them busy with our many kid-friendly activities like surfing, tennis, kayaking, swimming and fishing. But golf is especially near and dear to our heart since we have three amazing and varied Hilton Head golf courses all inside our beautiful resort.
PGA America and the National Golf Course Owners' Association have declared July Family Golf Month in an effort to promote golf as a fun, family recreational activity that lets you spend uninterrupted quality time together.
"Getting the family together for a round of golf, whether it's nine or 18 holes, is a great outdoor activity that gives parents the opportunity to have uninterrupted conversations and quality time with their children," says PGA of America President Ted Bishop. "It's also a great way for the entire family to enjoy golf's health and wellness benefits while creating memories for a lifetime."
So how can your family enjoy golf at our South Carolina golf resort? Ah, let us count the ways!
Family Golf School
We offer three-day, two-hour private golf lessons designed specifically for your family at our Hilton Head Family Golf School. We'll meet everyone at exactly their skill level and help them improve their game. We love this video showing a mom and her daughters during their Family Golf School lesson!
Kids Play Free
To encourage our golfers to teach the game to their kids, we let kids play free at the Robert Trent Jones Hilton Head golf course and the Arthur Hills golf course after 4 p.m. with an adult paying regular rate. This is a great opportunity to expose your kids to the game and enjoy some one-on-one time with each other!
Junior Tees
We've also installed permanent junior tees on our Robert Trent Jones golf course, and the George Fazio course caters to juniors with markings of 150 yards or less. This makes it easier and more fun for junior golfers!
Junior Golf Lessons
We also have a variety of Hilton Head golf lessons for juniors, including our Little Swingers program designed for ages 3-7. Director of Instruction Doug Weaver teaches the game of golf while singing songs with the kids.
Our Junior Golf Clinics for ages 6-18 focus on golf fundamentals like golf shots, etiquette and rules. Weaver covers three different shots every day, and four-time attendees are rewarded with a Junior Golf School Manual.
Lastly, if you have a junior gofer who's top of the class, enroll him or her in the Advanced Juniors Classes for ages 8-18. These kids get to play with a pro and get instruction as they go!
Make your love of golf a family affair at Palmetto Dunes! To sign up for any of the above golf lessons, schools or clinics or for any questions, please call us at 866-744-7558.

Duck Help Needed

Duck Help Needed
Hi Guys,
I need some advice for the care of my three ducks ( DuckDuck, Daisy and Goose) this winter. They dont have shelter at this moment and I want to build a lean-to for them. They are stubborn ducks that dont like going in my barn because they dont like to leave the pond. Can big fat white ducks survive the winter without shelter? I would have eaten them by now but my Honey wont let me because they are pets now.
I know what you mean. We got it solved with a letter from the board of health threatening a summons. Staten Island is part of NY City. Bev went over to her girl friends while I did what had to be done on a dozen. One they were in as package they were meat, or soup.
They used to spend the winter out or in an old rabbit cage with one end open.
"Life's tough.It's even tougher if you're stupid."
- John Wayne
" We hang petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office."
- Aesop
The three little ducks will be just fine on the pond in freezing, cold weather. They are well equipped to handle the cold weather...they adore it Just make sure you have plenty of food for them to eat and water to drink (don't let the pond freeze over).
"Never forget where it is you come from, or you may find yourself someplace you don't want to be"
Greg Norman
Use heater tape to keep the water from freezing. We had our ducks over the winter as well as other fowl -- as long as the water was liquid they were ok.. shelter is at their discretion.
When it gets cold enough, they will go in the barn if there is access. A small sheltered lean-too with 3 sides enclosed and the entrance in the lee of the wind should be good. If they have a entrance into the barn that is somewhat sheltered and say they will go in when needed.
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Don't be mistaken.........cattle farmers here in Mississippi, at times, have to break ice on the ponds so the cows can drink.
"Never forget where it is you come from, or you may find yourself someplace you don't want to be"
Greg Norman
uncles solution for wayward ducks was to build small shelters....like doghouse-sized townhouses, that had electric lights.....the ducks would eventually check out the lit houses, out of curiosity, and usually settle in....some never did, though...especially muscovy's.
put lots of straw in the houses, and build the roof on hinges, so you can collect eggs....I personally love duck eggs, but it's an acquired taste, I'm told. then you can put a heated waterer in there for them, and they'll be fine if the pond does freeze over. As soon as the ice breaks in spring, though, they'll move back to the pond.
pekin ducks, however, do come from northern china; a climate just as harsh, if not worse than our own.
thanks for the help. i just ran my wiring for the barn this weekend and will have power in a few days. my barn hasnt had power in the last 4 years that i have owned it and i am very excited. i cant wait to build the lean to and get some type of heating out for my ducks. my pond does freeze over enough and one cold winter i was able to drive over it with my cub. that winter i drilled holes in some old mowing blades and fastened blocks of old fabric to them. i then set my mower deck lowest it could go and then smoothed the ice. ( i saw this thrick in wisconsin and south dakota ice fishing) it worked very well as a makeshift zamboni. the only real problem i had is i couldnt find my damned skates!!!!!!
I raise wildwaterfowl , Swans, Trumpeters,Mutes, as well as wooducks,Wigeon Etc. I started with pekins 30 years ago. The problem with them is not the cold, as much as water supply , wind, and protection from predators (OWLS ,Coyotes. Night time is the worst) . When the sticky cold comes. Make sure you keep the water to a minimum , I usually give enough water for a good watering and bath, Put some lettuce in, that will keep them satisfied until the next watering , to much waters ,they will come out of the water and get stuck to the ice. If they get stuck ,don't pull them off , just get some warm water and pour it around them to free the feathers.
Feather quality will keep them warm,( need daily baths so they can oil up.)Keep the area as dry as possible.
as far as a pen 10' by 10' is plenty for winter for 3 ducks.
Good luck.
"Work Hard ,Play Often,Care Always"
My adults do not ,however the young Trumpeters do . Have wing clipped them for the winter. Kind of a bear to catch up flying birds. Not sure what you mean by the bulb under the ceramic dish. you could get one of those water pail heaters for dogs. Large one, Water is the poblem they love it and splash it.

Any B folks here
Ran into a B sitting beside a shed and have a few questions. First off the rear tires seem spaced really wide. A normal super c sets behind it and the B
rear tires are at least a foot wider. it has a 2 way plow setup behind it but the right rear tire is at least 18 inches away from the plow point. Both tires are mounted close to the fenders. I believe dished in. Tractor has good sheetmetal and has been repainted at some point long ago. Has been converted to 12 v with an alt. Tag under the seat says Model B ser # F.A.B.77490. Whats with the fab. Guy says he may sell but has to think about it. Batt. was dead but turns over with hand crank. No welds I could see. Thanks. Grump
David Dee Mock-Leonard
Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
Some days it's not worth chewing through the restraints
I have a BN as does PWL. Cub Bud has a B. Nice tractors for playing around with. Lack of hydraulics and the wide width are the biggest downfall. However, there was an exhaust powered lift but parts are hard to find and not cheap.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Owned one at one time. Used it as a wagon tractor.
It was a fun little tractor. Used to pull a 5' bush hog to mow CRP. - Low gear only. The B with a fresh overhaul wouldn't pull the mower in 2nd gear. Fuel wise very economical. I could operate the tractor most of the summer on 15 gallons of gas.
Actually as far as utility it was a pretty worthless tractor. Reference Bd's post.
A lot of the B's were turned in to acreage mower tractors.
Neighbor has one. Uses it as a spot sprayer tractor - PTO mounted sprayer pump with 55 gallon drum mounted on draw bar.
I have an excuse. CRS.
and the FAB is jsut the beginning of the serial number, like FCUB on a cub
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government

We have two at the farm and I am trying to buy another. They are great tractors as far as I am concerned. We use them to pull hayrakes. The second one has an extra seat for my son. Grandpa is 75, but adores my son and wants to take him on the tractor. He is afraid he will drop him, so we fixed it up with a second seat, platform, railing, and seat belt. They are the easiest to put a "buddy" seat on.

Some days it's not worth chewing through the restraints

1 Alpine Sports
121 Sandoval St.
For 45 years, Harvey Chalker and his wife Reserl have owned and operated Alpine Sports. In that time they've watched as skis have gotten shorter and shorter and the quality of boots better and better. Their longevity in the business is due in part to the knowledgeability of their staff members and their personal relationships with the sport and merchandise. The staff is full of skiers, even instructors, so they know what to look for when it comes to skis. "We test all skis before we buy them for the store," Harvey Chalker says.
"We don't buy what we don't like." Although the staff is full of experts, the store accommodates all skill levels. According to Chalker, because of El Niño, more moisture is expected this year; more moisture means more snow. So if you don't know how to ski, now is the time to start.

He was just glad to be here.
"We had like five more pitchers in the bullpen ready to go if we were needed," Hernandez said. "It didn't matter to me. I had fun."
With one out in the top of the ninth inning, Hernandez started warming up in the National League bullpen. As it turned out, there was no need for a ninth NL pitcher this night. Eric Gagne finished the inning, the American League held on for a 9-4 victory, and being idle was just fine with the Montreal Expos' lone representative in the game.
"The whole thing was a perfect experience for me," Hernandez said. "I enjoy the All-Star Game so much, one of the great moments in baseball. You see everything differently when you are here with all of the top players in the game.
"I've been in two World Series (1997 with Florida and 2002 with San Francisco). That's the best moment. This is something special, because it's something you enjoy with other players and friends. It's my first one, and you never know if you'll make it back for a second one.
If anything, Hernandez (6-8 with a 3.58 ERA) will be more rested now. He is scheduled to start the Expos' second-half opener Thursday in Atlanta against Jaret Wright. Hernandez has had trouble against the Braves this season, lasting two-plus innings in his last outing against them July 7.
He can start thinking about that next appearance now. In the meantime, this was a chance to have the time of his life. Hernandez said one of the highlights he will remember was joining with other players to huddle around Muhammad Ali as the legendary former boxer participated in the ceremonial first pitch before the game.
"He's the greatest -- what else can you say?" Hernandez said. "Everybody knows about him from boxing. He was a great fighter, and that was something special to be there with him. The whole All-Star Game was special for me."

text: First off, don't get me wrong, I love Spyderco and just about everyone of its products. But let's be honest sometimes we just want something different every once in a while. I pretty much have my basic needs met as far as standard production knives go. Lately I've just wanted something a little extra nice outside the realm of spyderco. I narrowed it down to the CRK plain sebenza 21 or a strider sng. Well I finally dropped that down to just the sebenza. I'm not gonna ask if you think it's actually worth the money because that is all subjective and I'm sure people vary from one extreme to the other. My questions for you guys is, what exactly drew you to the sebenza 21 and what do you like/love about it and what could you do without when it comes to it and what you don't like. Any pics of a nice broken in one would be great! I love to see that worn Ti look! If anyone has any long term stories on theirs I'd love to hear them too!
