McALESTER, Okla. — An Oklahoma mother has been charged with child abuse after she allegedly poured gasoline on her 5-year-old daughter's head in an effort to treat head lice, causing the girl and the mother to catch fire.
Court records show that 25-year-old Shana M. Suggs of Hartshorne, Okla., was charged last week week one count of felony child abuse by injury.
The girl had second- and third-degree burns over 60 percent of her body, court records state.
According to a police affidavit, when officers investigated, they found a working space heater in the bathroom near where Suggs allegedly poured the fluid on her daughter's head. Suggs was treated for burns on her forearms, hands and foot, while the young girl was transferred to a burn hospital in Tulsa, the affidavit states.
Suggs's boyfriend, Dylan Webster, told police he was watching television when he heard his girlfriend scream. He said he ran toward the bathroom and found both Suggs and her daughter on fire. He grabbed the young girl and rolled her on the ground, which didn't extinguish the flames, so he "got a jacket off the couch and wrapped her up and the flames went out," the affidavit states.
If convicted, Suggs is facing up to life in prison.

Jazz, a style that put Detroit and its musicians on the map, will be brought back to the city on Labor Day weekend for the annual Detroit Jazz Festival.
From its beginning in the early 1900s in New Orleans, Jazz found its way up north where it was transformed here in Detroit.
"We had more theater seats and clubs and entertainment venues than New York City," says Chris Collins, the festival's artistic director and director of jazz studies at Wayne State University."When you tell people you're from Detroit -- the musicians -- whether they know you or not, they have an immediate sense of respect because the city holds a reputation in the history of Jazz," says Collins.The foundation of this festival teaches fundamentals of jazz to young musicians in schools all over Detroit. The Jazz Festival is sponsoring a national talent search for saxophonist and jazz arrangers. The winners will get five thousand dollars and a chance to perform at the festival.The best part about the festival is that visitors don't have to spend a dime; it's free."When the Detroit Jazz Festival came to town and I was able to go down he plazas and hear all my heroes play, it inspired me. I got to meet these people that I only knew on vinyl, "said Collins. "That motivation, that gift, to other young people and other families in our city and we're only going to be able to do that if we keep it free so that everyone can walk in the door and get to see this incredible display of three and a half days of the greatest jazz there is on the planet."

The 2013 PGA Tour season kicks off in sunny Hawaii as many of the world's best take part in the winners-only Hyundai Tournament of Champions. Bubba Watson, Webb Simpson, Rickie Fowler, Ian Poulter and Dustin Johnson are all scheduled to tee it up at the Plantation Course in Kapalua, Hawaii, as the 2013 season gets underway on Golf Channel on Thursday.
This year's Tournament of Champions is the end of an era -- the final time it will be played as the first event of the season. Instead, it will become the seventh event of the 2013-14 season and will include winners from the calendar year. A change may do the Tournament of Champions some good and add even more intrigue to the event.
Set in Kapalua, the Tournament of Champions is setup for the big bombers. Players such as Bubba Watson are free and encouraged to uncork long, jaw-dropping drives, thanks to the course's forgiving fairways that tend to roll-out quite a bit. Drives over 400 yards are not uncommon as players grip and rip.
The Tournament of Champions begins on Jan. 3, ending on Monday, Jan. 7. The Monday finish allows the Tournament of Champions to conclude in primetime, on its own following the first round of the NFL playoffs and just before the 2013 BCS Championship Game begins.
Keep up with the latest news from Kapalua by following Golf Channel on Facebook, Instagram & Twitter. Tweet using hashtag #PGATOURonGC. Watch the start of the 2013 PGA Tour season at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions TONIGHT at 6PM ET exclusively on Golf Channel.

CLINTON, Iowa — In the wake of loss, one Iowa family is making a big impact on their community this holiday season.
On Nov. 28, Bonnie and David Barr of Clinton suffered an unbearable tragedy when their son, Stewart, died unexpectedly a little more than two weeks after his 30th birthday.
Just 18 days before his death, Stewart sent a Facebook message to his brother and some of his friends, vowing to purchase 25 gifts to donate to a local toy drive and challenging them to do the same.
"When I learned of Stewart's death, it was very heartbreaking and shocking. We went to the visitation and his family had told us about the challenge he had made to his friends," long-time friend Mike Griswold said. "I kind of put it to the back of my mind until one day, it just hit me that I needed to take the challenge. What a great opportunity to try to continue what Stewart started."
Since beginning the challenge, the group has distributed nearly $3,000 in Stewart's honor to charities, shelters and toy drives all around the community. In addition, it has sparked others who knew Stewart and his family to step up and join the toy-giving challenge.
According to Connie Brashaw, a Citizen's Police Academy alumna who organizes the local Shop with a Cop event in Clinton, Bonnie attended the event Dec. 7, just long enough to give the 32 children an extra holiday surprise.
"It was very sad when she came to give us the money, knowing why she was giving it," Brashaw said. "The kids were excited to get the initial $100 so, when they got $120 they were ecstatic. It was very sweet of them to do, and we really appreciate it. They are pretty amazing people."

Men's Soccer Coaches
|6th Season
|Texas '01
|(239) 590-7130
Alex Aldaz is entering his sixth season as an assistant coach for the Florida Gulf Coast University men's soccer program.
In Aldaz's five seasons on the staff he has helped the Eagles to a 47-36-8 overall mark and coached them to an all-time record of 28-14-2 in Atlantic Sun Conference matches. Over the past two seasons, FGCU has spent a number of weeks in the national rankings by multiple media outlets, landing as high as No. 14 in the country at the start of the 2011 campaign.
While assisting on the coaching staff, Aldaz has worked with 23 A-Sun All-Conference selections since the Eagles joined the league during the inaugural 2008 campaign. In addition to its first two NSCAA All-Region selections and the A-Sun Defensive Player of the Year in 2010, the A-Sun Freshman of the Year highlighted the postseason accolades in 2011.
During the 2011 season, Aldaz helped the Eagles into postseason competition in the program's first year of eligibility. With a 12-6-2 overall record, FGCU won its second consecutive A-Sun Conference regular season crown with a 7-1 league mark while securing the A-Sun Tournament No. 1 overall seed. The Green and Blue earned the A-Sun's automatic NCAA Championship berth after clinching the league tournament title with a pair of one-goal victories over No. 4 Mercer (2-1) and No. 6 ETSU (1-0), becoming the first team since 2004 to claim both the regular season and tournament titles in the same year.
Also in 2011, Aldaz aided the Green and Blue in landing the A-Sun Freshman of the Year in Xavier Silva, a MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List selection and College Soccer News preseason third team All-American in Josey Portillo, and one of 10 Lowe's Senior CLASS Award national finalist in Adam Glick. The Green and Blue also claimed three players on the A-Sun All-Conference first team, and pair of athletes on the second team and All-Freshmen squads. Additionally, Glick and Deion Jones were also selected to the inaugural A-Sun Academic All-Conference team.
The 2010 squad finished with a perfect 9-0 conference mark and brought the first ever A-Sun regular season conference championship to the FGCU campus, outscoring their league opposition 26-2. As one of just five schools in the nation to finish with an unblemished conference mark, the Blue and Green landed a program best seven student-athletes on the A-Sun All-Conference teams and the Defensive Player of the Year in Adam Glick. In addition to their A-Sun first team selections, midfielder Josey Portillo and defenseman Deion Jones were also selected to the NSCAA All-South Region team for their efforts on the pitch in 2010. Following the outstanding season, Aldaz was named to College Soccer News' 2011 Top Assistant Coaches List.
FGCU's 2009 campaign was a tremendous stepping stone in the program's recent success, as it was the first time the Blue and Green had finished with a winning-record, holding an 8-7-1 mark and finishing third in a very close three-way battle for the Atlantic Sun regular season championship. For the efforts on the field, five student athletes were named to A-Sun postseason awards.
The coaching staff has also placed a strong emphasis on hard work inside the classroom and in the community. The Eagles have received the NSCAA Team Academic Award in the 2009 and 2010 seasons, including a team GPA of 3.04 for the 2009-10 academic year. Additionally, the Blue and Green have made an effort to help those less fortunate in the community by annually volunteering their time at the local Salvation Army.
Prior to joining the FGCU men's soccer staff, Aldaz served as an assistant coach at Xavier University. In his two years at Xavier, Aldaz helped the Musketeers reach the Atlantic 10 Conference tournament for the first time in nine years, best conference record and most overall wins in four years. Aldaz was also responsible for recruiting two 2006 Atlantic 10 All Rookie Team selections, in which Xavier was one of only two schools in the fourteen team conference to have multiple selections.
Before his tenure at Xavier, Aldaz served as an assistant coach at the University of Dayton, and helped lead the Flyers to an 11-7-1 overall record including an 8-3-0 mark and runner-up finish in the Atlantic 10 Conference in 2004. While at Dayton, Aldaz coached US National Team selections and Major League Soccer standouts Chris Rolfe and Dasan Robinson, along with four all Atlantic 10 Conference, three NSCAA All Region, and one NSCAA All American student-athletes.
Prior to his stint at Dayton, Aldaz was an assistant coach at the University of Redlands, a Division III institution in Redlands, California. In his two years at Redlands, Aldaz enjoyed a considerable amount of success as the Bulldogs boasted a two-year record of 36-4-2 and finished ranked in the top-11 nationally in both 2002 and 2003. The Bulldogs also won the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championship in each of his two seasons, and were the highest scoring team in the 2003 NCAA Division III regular season with 92 goals in 20 games. For the 2002-03 seasons, Aldaz coached twelve All SCIAC, two SCIAC Players of the Year, six NSCAA All Region, and two NSCAA All American student-athletes.
Previous to his two-year stretch at Redlands, Aldaz was the assistant coach at Schreiner University in Kerrville, Texas during the 2001 season.
Aldaz began his coaching career for the Austin Flyers Soccer Club in Austin, Texas, where he was responsible for training and coaching nationally-ranked boys' soccer teams.
Aldaz was a former midfielder in the United Systems of Independent Soccer Leagues and helped the University of Texas club team to a national championship in 1996. He is a graduate of the University of Texas, has a master's degree from the University of Redlands, and has received the NSCAA Premier Diploma and USSF A License. Aldaz is also a staff coach for Florida ODP.
A Buenos Aires, Argentina native, Aldaz speaks Spanish and Italian, and is conversational in Portuguese. He resides in Estero with his wife Gina, son Alex and daughter Lucia.

Born in Paris in 1840, Monet was the founder of French impressionist painting, a style that includes common, everyday subjects -- particularly nature -- painted with visible brush strokes, unusual angles, and an emphasis on light and movement. The term "Impressionism" actually came from the title of Monet's painting "Impression, Sunrise."
Many of Monet's works feature the French countryside of the early 1900s, and he loved to paint in his garden at his home in Giverny, France. His garden paintings, such as "A Garden Path" and "Water Lilies" were (and still are) quite popular, and they sold well, enabling Monet to rise out of poverty and live comfortably until his death in 1926.

Boiling Water
Boiling flow is an example of phase transition initiated by raising the temperature of a liquid above its saturation temperature. It is possible to accomplish this in many ways; in this example by applying an external heat flux to a solid surface in contact with the liquid. There are three distinct regimes that characterize boiling induced by a heated surface: nucleate, transition, and film. ...
Electrostatically Actuated Cantilever
The elastic cantilever beam is one of the elementary structures used in MEMS designs. This model shows the bending of a cantilever beam under an applied electrostatic load. The model solves the deformation of the beam under an applied voltage.
Cooling of an Injection Mold
This model shows how you can use the Non-Isothermal Pipe Flow interface together with the Heat Transfer in Solids interface to model the cooling of a injection molded polyurethane part for a car steering wheel. The equations describing the cooling channels are fully coupled to the heat transfer equations of the mold and the polyurethane part.

A Helmholtz coil is a parallel pair of identical circular coils spaced one radius apart and wound so that the current flows through both coils in the same direction. This winding results in a uniform magnetic field between the coils with the primary component parallel to the axes of the two coils. Applications of Helmholtz coils range from canceling the earth's magnetic field to generating ...

CNHI News Service
Anyone who loves sports cars should send a thank-you note to Toyota and Subaru.
The two companies teamed up to produce the first all-new, affordable sports car the world has seen in several years.
That's a rare thing because true, hard-edged sports cars are difficult to engineer and even harder to sell. They just don't move in big numbers because, out of necessity, most drivers lean toward cars that are more practical and comfortable. At some level, sports cars are toys, after all.
But, after spending a week driving Toyota's version — which is sold as the Scion FR-S here in America — I'm pleased to learn that this sports car is legit.
It's not a semi-sporty coupe like the old Toyota Celica. It's not a comfy grand tourer like the Hyundai Genesis Coupe. It's a real, honest-to-goodness sports car designed entirely around the driving experience.
The suspension is tuned to have a far rougher, stiffer ride than most cars. You can feel every tiny pebble on the pavement, which is perfect for drivers who want to test its limits. It's all about experiencing the road and becoming one with the road, not being isolated from the road.
Handling is ideally balanced thanks to its basic, classic sports-car layout: the engine up front, with power going to the rear wheels. That gives it a slight tendency to oversteer when you turn off the traction control and apply power while cornering — exactly what a fun sports car ought to do.
Much in the spirit of my beloved Mazda Miata, this is a car that lets drivers push their limits without killing themselves.
Compare it to the Chevy Corvette, for example. While the Corvette is a faster and more expensive car, I don't enjoy driving it as much as the FR-S because it's so much harder to test its boundaries.
With the Corvette's wide, sticky tires and giant V-8 engine, you almost have to be a professional driver — or simply foolhardy — to discover where it loses grip in ultra-high-speed turns.
With the FR-S, though, ordinary drivers can have a lot more fun. Its narrower tires lose their grip through corners at lower speeds and very smoothly, not suddenly, letting a mere-mortal driver do a delicate dance with the throttle and steering wheel to keep it composed in turns.
It makes a ham-fisted driver like me feel like an Andretti.
Power comes from a 2.0-liter, naturally aspirated, horizontally opposed "boxer" four-cylinder engine that's derived from Subaru, but it's fitted with a high-tech fuel injection system called D-4S that Toyota previously used in its Lexus division.
It makes 200 horsepower, which is impressive in a car that weighs just 2,758 pounds.
While Subaru sells a near clone of this car called the BRZ, which I haven't driven yet, my first indication is to lean toward the Scion just because of the way it looks. The Scion has a smoother, cleaner, more classic shape in my eyes.
Still, this isn't a car for everyone. Rear visibility is limited by a thick pillar in back. The trunk is tiny, and the back seat is a total joke. It's going to be a noisy, rough riding, fairly impractical car by design. But that's what makes it a real sports car, something that's beautiful inside and out.
It's also the reason you should pick up your pen and write "thank you" to the engineers and companies that poured their hearts and souls into building a vehicle that appeals to a small but devoted cult of driving purists.
Better yet, take it for a test drive and experience it for yourself.

The Cub from Argentina (Clutch info needed)

The Cub from Argentina (Clutch info needed)
I would like start to share pictures and questions about the restoration of my 1952 Farmall Cub.
I have an issue with the pto shaft, the pto was very worn so i take it to a person who fill the pto with metal and shape it to look like a new one, but the guy didn't realize to leave a little gap where the bearing retainer goes, can somebody give my the measures of the pto? i need to know how wide is the pto where the bearing goes and where the retainer goes, and the length from one point to the bearing retainer gap.
Thank you very much!
Tomorrow morning i will upload pictures an a video of the engine running!

Re: Cub restoration from Argentina
I believe if the lip that the bearing seats up against is still in place, you can measure the width of the bearing to determine where the retainer groove should be to hold the bearing in place. Does this make sense?

Re: Cub restoration from Argentina
There is a drawing in the operator's manual with the dimensions of the spline, if that will help??

Re: Cub restoration from Argentina
Thank you Raymond, i disassemble the pto and found that the lip where the bearing seats is actually the original place i guess, i just will have to make a new groove against the bearing so it won't move again.
Do you know if i can install the pto with the shifter clutch installed on the pto? because is not easy to do it to engage the shifter lever on the groove of the clutch.
Thank again.
Re: Cub restoration from Argentina
Buzzard just in case if you have the manual in your computer i would like to have the file, i can't open the manual on Rudi's website, the link of many pictures is broke.
Thank you!
Re: Cub restoration from Argentina
Yes it will fit back in complete.
Remove the oil fill plug on top the trans and with a light you can see down through the hole to this area where the clutch fits the lever groove....
Removing the little pto lever guard on top of the trans will allow you more movement for the work area inside.

Re: Cub restoration from Argentina
Here is a step by step "How To" with photos: viewtopic.php?f=141&t=32935
When positioning the PTO assembly up to the back of the transmission, make sure that the shaft engages the pilot Bushing on the back of the transmission shaft while the PTP lever engages the groove on the shift collar. It's a bit tricky, but as Yogie mentioned, remove the fill plug to help you see what's going on inside.
Re: Cub restoration from Argentina
Here are some pictures of how look the place where i am starting the slow process of put all the pieces together, is not easy but is very nice job to do.
I had already rebuild the engine in a shop, all the parts i brought them from USA (piston, rings, new crankshaft, valves, gasket) and many other parts to (lights, rods, ignition tune up kit, exhaust, etc..)
There are only a few Cub's in Argentina. The engine runs really good I'm uploading a video to youtube.com to show you guys.
i am struggling to get some tires to the tractor, so far i couldn't find tires, there is no any in Arg.
New engine waiting to run, i will assemble the engine with some other parts and paint all together!
Most of the parts are already painted, this look like a puzzle jaja.

Here is the video, i forgot to take off the cover of my camera, is an acuatic camera so at 2:30 seconds the sound is better because i take it off.
Is impossible to import tires to Argentina, right now with our president is a law to substitute all the importation's, we can not even buy tires for the tractors that we use to plant.

You can order a new shaft from TM tractor who is a sponser of this site. $68.00. This is available if you get tried of fooling with the old one.
Re: Cub restoration from Argentina
I don't mean to sound like the safety police or a nervous ninny, but this is not a good way to run an engine for several reasons. I know that you are happy to have the engine back from a rebuild, and it does sound good, but bad things can happen quick under the conditions in the video.
It is perfectly ok to run an engine off the tractor, but it needs to be secured in some manner, preferably on an engine stand. One miss to throw it off balance and the engine will fall off the table on the floor. I know the engine wasn't run for very long, but fresh cool water needs to be supplied. Connect the lower water inlet to a faucet and water hose, and turn the water on just enough so that it has at least a trickle out the upper water outlet. The carb appears new, and the throttle shaft felt is probably tight against the shaft, but without it connected to the governor, a runaway throttle can happen as the butterfly can quickly open to full by itself before you can get your hand on it to stop it. I've had it happen to me while I was on the other side of the engine. Luckily I was able to quickly hit the ignition switch before something bad happened!
I'm not trying to rain on your parade, I just don't want to see your hard work ruined. Keep us posted on your progress, and if there is anything we can do to help, please let us know!

Freeman selected but will miss Rising Stars Game
Wong also chosen for Arizona Fall League's talent showcase
ST. LOUIS -- The Arizona Fall League chose Cardinals prospects Kolten Wong and Sam Freeman for its upcoming Rising Stars Game, but mild tendinitis in his left biceps will keep Freeman from participating and will likely sideline him from returning for the rest of the AFL season.
Freeman felt the discomfort after throwing an inning of relief on Monday for the Surprise Saguaros. The Cardinals, as a precaution, opted to shut down the left-hander. Farm director John Vuch said hat the issue is not considered serious.
Freeman will need about seven to 10 days of rest, meaning that it's unlikely he'll make another AFL appearance, since the season concludes on Nov. 15. In seven AFL outings, Freeman allowed six runs (three earned) and 11 hits in seven innings.
Wong, the Cardinals' top pick in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft, is hitting. 321 in 13 AFL games. He has scored eight runs and driven in 10 for the Saguaros, the first-place club in the AFL West.
The Rising Stars Game will be played on Saturday, with MLB Network set to televise the contest. First pitch is scheduled for 7 p.m. CT.

Wilson played the last four innings after replacing the starter, Edgar Renteria of the Cardinals.
"I got some innings and I was pretty happy," Wilson said. "I didn't think I'd be in there that long."
In two at-bats, Wilson flied out against Blue Jays left-hander Ted Lilly and then popped out in the ninth against right-hander Mariano Rivera before the Yankees' reliever closed out the American League's 9-4 victory.
"My plays were pretty much routine, a ground ball to start a double play and a popup. I was glad to get the two at-bats," Wilson said. "I was a little nervous. I felt like a rookie again."
Wilson got a big endorsement before the game from National League manager Jack McKeon.
"I was just thrilled when he was selected by the players because I had him on my original list," McKeon said. "He deserved to be on this All-Star team.
"You see so many youngsters out there playing their hearts out and having good years," McKeon said. "Sometimes it's an unfortunate situation where somebody is having a greater year than them, and they get bumped.
"In this particular case, he was the one guy of the young players that really deserved to be on the All-Star team," the Marlin's manager said.
Wilson was flattered that McKeon thinks so highly of him.
"When you're not in the same division, you don't see people that much. I didn't meet him until a week before the game," Wilson said.
"He came up and gave me hugs and told me congratulations."

LOS ANGELES -- Mark McGwire has told the Cardinals he intends to accept an offer to become the next Dodgers hitting coach, according to a report in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
McGwire, a former USC star who lives in Orange County, informed St. Louis he will not continue as its hitting coach, according to a press release issued by the Cardinals on Monday.
McGwire would replace Dave Hansen, who was dismissed last month, and would become the seventh hitting coach in eight seasons under general manager Ned Colletti.
Hansen took the blame for a disappointing offense that never overcame the hamstring and shoulder injuries that hobbled the lineup's focal point, Matt Kemp.
Even with the second-half additions of All-Stars Hanley Ramirez, Adrian Gonzalez and Shane Victorino, the Dodgers' offense repeatedly failed to mount a consistent attack. Los Angeles' offense finished 13th in the National League in runs scored and RBIs.
McGwire, a 12-time All-Star, was hired by former Cardinals manager Tony La Russa to coach St. Louis hitters two years ago, and the St. Louis offense has been productive during McGwire's tenure. The slugger -- who in 2010 admitted using steroids during his playing career -- retired as a player after the 2001 season with 583 career home runs, currently 10th on the all-time list.

Candle Holder Set Ablaze with Violet Fire
Prized by the ancient Egyptians and Greeks, the amethyst is a variety of quartz that owes its purple color to irradiation, iron impurities and the presence of trace elements. Medieval European soldiers wore amethyst amulets as protection in battle, as they were believed to heal people and keep them cool-headed.
Sourced in Brazil, our beautiful amethyst crystal candle holder has a smooth hole drilled into the center to hold a tea light or votive candle (not included), which will illuminate the stone and display the unique color variations and crystal formations. Each candleholder is one-of-a-kind, and will be unique in size and color depth. A felt pad at the base prevents scratching.
Includes one approx. 5" l x 3" w x 2"h candle holder. Candles not included.

CHICAGO -- Carl Everett called the game-winning shot, Magglio Ordonez caught the final out and the American League claimed home-field advantage in the World Series with a 7-6 victory before a U.S. Cellular Field record of 47,609 at Tuesday night's 74th All-Star Game.
When he was announced as part of the starting lineup, Loaiza received a thunderous ovation only rivaled by the one given to Ordonez. Loaiza had never received close to that level of applause previously.
Ordonez entered the game in the seventh, as a pinch-hitter for Ichiro Suzuki, and popped out to first against Houston closer Billy Wagner in his only at-bat. With the American League ahead by one run in the ninth inning and two outs, Ordonez caught Rafael Furcal's deep fly ball to right about two steps from the wall.
Before the inning ended, though, Texas rookie Hank Blalock came to the plate against Los Angeles closer Eric Gagne with a runner on third and two outs. Everett took Blalock and Michael Young under his wing in Texas, so he knows a thing or two about the young third baseman.

Cat litter has come a long way in recent years, but litter pans have not. Today's cat litter is concentrated, clumping and offers great odor control for any room. Too bad the choices for litter pans aren't good! Open litter pans? Unsightly and easy for kitty to spread grit all over. Those nasty plastic domes? They discolor, attract dirt and hair, and look like they belong on the moon, not in your home. In a caringly decorated home, litter pans barely fit in the spare room, garage or basement anymore.

Extraordinary Sculptures of Ordinary Objects
February 16 | May 8, 2011
Press and Members Preview: Tuesday, February 15, 6:30 pm
Interview opportunities with curator Rene Barilleaux, museum director William J. Chiego, and artists in the exhibition.
Organized by the McNay's Chief Curator and Curator of Art after 1945, New Image Sculpture assembles works by emerging and mid-career artists who freely appropriate from art history, ethnographic artifacts, fashion, folk art, hobby crafts, popular culture, and the world of do-it-yourself. These artists transform widely available materials, many found on the shelves of hardware stores and building suppliers, into fanciful re-creations and interpretations of ordinary and mundane things. Styrofoam, corrugated cardboard, and duct tape replace marble and bronze as primary materials, while ersatz tractors, musical instruments, sofas, and suitcases take the place previously held by portrait busts or minimalist cubes.
Drawing on art movements including Dada, Nouveau Réalisme, Arte Povera, and Pop art, as well as various other developments in realism, these disparate artists all use recognizable imagery and common materials. Often fabrication techniques are conspicuous as an element of the finished work. Some artists employ labor-intensive and obsessive approaches, emphasizing craft and the handmade with obvious evidence of the artist's process, despite the use of ephemeral materials.
The 13 artists and artist collectives in New Image Sculpture create unique visions of the world we encounter on a daily basis. Regardless of what they make or how they make it, in the end these artists transform ordinary stuff into objects of extraordinary engagement.
A full-color, 128-page book surveying the work of these artists, with text by the exhibition's organizer René Paul Barilleaux and critic Eleanor Heartney, accompanies the New Image Sculpture exhibition.
Artists in New Image Sculpture: Conrad Bakker, Libby Black, Tom Burckhardt, Margarita Cabrera, Chris Hanson and Hendrika Sonnenberg, Dennis Harper, Kiel Johnson, Kevin Landers, Jean Lowe, Okay Mountain, Kaz Oshiro, Mark Schatz, Jade Townsend

Four Buck In-Tank Replacable Cartridge Filter
I am a big fan of supplemental fuel filtering. It is necessary if you want modern day reliability from a machine with a primitive fuel screening system.
Properly installed supplemental filtering used in conjunction with good fuel line will eliminate the problems that flow into your carburator with the gas, plugging orfices and propping open needle valves or at the very least, causing poor starting and engine performance.
I installed the first inline fuel filter on my dad's cub in the late '70's. That filter lasted almost 25 years with only sediment bowl service, the carburator provided outstanding performance the for two and a half decades. Ten years ago when I inherited the tractor, it was serviced and that filter was replaced.
A couple of years ago, I again changed the filter, this time I opted for a clear glass "racing" filter. And just as reported in previous posts, I also thought it was an oddity not to see fuel in the sight glass yet the gas continued to flow at an appropriate rate.
I didn't dwell on it and the tractor never missed a beat regardless of how little fuel was visible in the sight glass.
In a matter of days the inside of the filter was looking terrible but at least it was stopping the crud before it got to the carb.
Upon close inspection of the fuel tank, I could see why the filter was looking bad, the inside of the tank looked horrible. And it still does.
I decided I needed an additional layer of filter protection so I installed a replaceable in-tank filter cartridge.
This filtering system has worked so well for me the clear inline filter still looks like new inside after almost 2 years of service.
I'm actually considering abandoning the external inline filter and bringing the copper fuel line up to code.
I searched the forum to see if anyone had done this before and found metallic sock like mesh filters have been installed but look to be permanently attached.
I chose to use a disposable cartridge because with the condition of my tank, I knew it would eventually plug up with the crap I saw collecting inside my clear inline filter.
This is a real easy modification and the best part as aforementioned, it is replaceable in about 30 seconds as often as necessary for about 3 bucks.
Obtain a one inch long piece of stiff plastic fuel line with an outside diameter of 1/4". This plastic line is usually clear and used on 2 cycle small power equipment. This piece will be inserted into the inlet of the sediment bowl to create a short standpipe inside the fuel tank.
(The inside of the sediment bowl tube is exactly the same diameter as the hole in the filter so if the fuel line you will be using fits snugly in the filter it will fit snugly inside the sediment bowl tube.)
If your sediment bowl is not IHC, I can't assure you it will be the same size.
Next buy a Fram CG 3389 paper element gas filter utilized back in the Quadrajet era from any auto parts jobber. Pull out the rubber end piece seal incorporating the check valve and spring. Cut the the end of the rubber cage off and discard it along with the valve and spring. Replace the rubber seal into the end of the filter. (This rubber insert is good for use in all modern fuels.)
The easiest way to install the standpipe is to drain the tank and remove the sediment bowl, but if you have patience, you can run it down a piece of stiff wire from the tank filler neck followed by a handful of 1/4" deep sockets. Press the tube down into the sediment bowl neck with the stacked sockets before extracting the guide wire. Retrieve the sockets with a magnet.
Reinstall the sediment bowl if it was removed to insert the plastic tube.
Next, obtain a long reach set of needle nose pliers, grasp the closed pressed metal end cap of the filter cartridge and lower it into the tank, pressing the opening with the rubber seal over the end of the standpipe protruding from the sediment bowl.
Have a set of mechanical fingers handy because you'll probably need to retrieve the filter at least once before successfully pressing it over the pipe. You may need a helper to hold the light if you don't have a hat or helmet light. You may find an easier way to install the filter by means of experimentation but I can usually stick them on the first or second try with the pliers.
Two paragraphs of caution....
Primarily remember if any fuel residue remains in the tank, you will be working over fumes so procede with and exercise extreme due caution.
Secondly, pre clean anything you dip in the tank. Your pliers, sockets, retriever, or any other device you recruit to press the filter onto the pipe needs to be spotless. Even though the filter will catch it, try not to add to the existing problem.
I recall recently reading a post by Bus Driver about bringing home unused surgical supplies from the doctors office for later use in the shop. Cub fuel systems require surgical suite like cleanliness all the way from the tank to the carburator if you expect trouble free operation and good performance. Use only clean tools when working inside any fuel system, gas or Diesel alike.
In-tank or inline fuel filters will not stop crap shedding from the fuel line so if you continue to be plagued with carb blockage, I would suggest replacement of the fuel line as soon as possible.
I will assure you that you will never see anything collect in the sediment bowl again as long as the filter remains in place.
I replace my in-tank filters once per year.
Clean fuel causes no problems.
Happy Motoring.

you may want to clean and coat the tank before the rust eats a hole in it.

Re: Four Buck In-Tank Replacable Cartridge Filter
Neat modification. But if the tank is reasonably clean, a regular sediment bowl, primitive as it is, will clean the fuel just fine.

I think so too. I have not yet had a problem using the factory set up.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

Good idea Mr. Lazyuniondriver (actually from reading your posts you're not lazy at all) but from my full-time farmer days I remember well when Murphy's law kicks in and you've still got 1000 bales to go and its going to rain tonight and it's going to a long winter and you really don't want to buy hay this year... these type ideas are what gets you through.

Re: Four Buck In-Tank Replacable Cartridge Filter
Great writeup. Thanks for sharing. Will definitely be looking at doing this next time I have the tank off the tractor.
I have a very clean fuel tank with virtually no rust and I get tiny floaters into the main jet at least a couple of times a year. This will put those to an end.

Re: Four Buck In-Tank Replacable Cartridge Filter
To add to Al's comment a bit. The design of the original filter /bowl system also allows water and debris to exit the tank and eventually leave you with a cleaner tank. Not degrading the internal idea , just adding to it.
Re: Four Buck In-Tank Replacable Cartridge Filter
Yup, interesting modification. Both Gary Boutwell and I have done these modifications:
Neither are permanent and simply removing the in tank filter will restore the system to the original Fuel Sediment Bowl Assembly. The reason I did my mod was cause it could be done, I wanted to try it and I had the parts so I did it. I still like the mod and will continue to use it, but only in conjunction with a clean and sealed with Red Kote tank. That is JMPP - as in Just My Personal Preference. A properly cleaned tank and regular service on the entire fuel circuit is sufficient. IH designed it to work that way and it has done the job admirably for over 60 years.
To me this is what a clean tank should look like:
Again that is JMPP, others use POR-15 or just clean the tank and keep it full of fuel. Which ever choice you make depends entirely on personal preference.

Re: Four Buck In-Tank Replacable Cartridge Filter
I agree the filter would be needed if the tank is in bad condition, and as soon as possible clean and seal the tank.
Re: Four Buck In-Tank Replacable Cartridge Filter
Very nice modification! Very well thought out. The Cub tank is really a pain to clean out with the baffle in there. This would be a great fix for those tanks that you just can't get as clean as you'd like.

Re: Four Buck In-Tank Replacable Cartridge Filter
Yes absolutely. Although the corrosion is not as bad as it looks, it definitely needs attention before it digs in any deeper.
Most of the nastiness pictured has appeared over the last 10 years. Dad was very adamant about keeping fuel tanks topped off (except the tanks in my vehicles when I started driving... ) The 200 gallon gravity tank at home made it easy.
I don't have the luxury of a bulk tank so my top offs were not until 5 gallons would fit, never realizing how much damage was caused by condensation inside the partially filled tank. I've changed my ways.
If you're lucky enough to have never had to pull and clean a metering orfice, this demonstrates your fuel system is clean and the original filtration system is adequate. If its running well, leave it alone.
However, carburator related issues seem to be a weekly topic of discussion here on the forums so some folks may be interested in further filtering their fuel to enhance performance and reliability.
Fuel tank refurbishment is not a quick or cheap job. The replaceable filter can buy the time needed to get through the season or when time and money for the job become available.
I prefer to spend my tinkering time making improvements, not repairing or correcting starting or running issues which could have been prevented.
Re: Four Buck In-Tank Replacable Cartridge Filter
I have a similar problem, lots of dirty tanks. I let the sediment bowl do its job and catch the debris so it is out of the tank and not in the carb. One of my cubs will occasionally spill enough fine rust that it will go through the sediment bowl. For that tractor I just put a filter after the sediment bowl.
I like trying to improve on old technology but it seem like you would want to get the sediment out of the tank and into the sediment bowl. Placing a filter after the bowl will double clean the fuel but still allow the debris to leave the tank.
Re: Four Buck In-Tank Replacable Cartridge Filter
The real trick is to keep the debris out of the tank. That was one of the reasons to have the tank cleaned and then sealed. I have been very happy with my sealed tank and for less than a Benjamin it was a real good investment.
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Re: Four Buck In-Tank Replacable Cartridge Filter
Yes, ideally the best spot for a filter is just before or just inside the carburator like on automotive applications.
Contamination that would have entered the sediment bowl remains trapped and suspended in the paper element so the contaminant is eventually removed from the tank, just later than sooner.
I'm liking the fact I can swap filters in 30 seconds once the standpipe has been installed in the sediment bowl riser pipe plus since I never see a speck of anything in the glass jar, I know my fuel is pure.
For those following this post with the intention of adding the stand pipe and filter, up the plastic fuel line length to 1.5".
I did one today and this sediment bowl accepted more plastic pipe than my own tractors did, leaving the stub for the filter cartridge too short for my liking.

Forty-Five Years of Friendship
Carl and I were roommates as undergraduates in Mexico City in the 1960s, and all in our group of "language junkies" knew he was the most likely to pursue a career in some area of language study. His passions then were chess, opera and Latin (Professor Bolaño e Isla called him "el latinista"). There were discussions long into many nights as we fretted over some unattested etymology, should this or that word bear a written accent, or how we might contrive new ways to belabor the use of the moribund Spanish future subjunctive. We all got good and tipsy the day we learned Menéndez Pidal had died. And there were the bookstores, the Bar Chapultepec, and the neighbors' cringing as Di Stefano's and Corelli's notes challenged the integrity of the walls.
Teacher, inspiration, dear friend: We are all the richer because you stood among us.

(RNN) – The season-opening loss may have been a disappointment for Texas A&M, but nobody had a better summer than the Aggies – "earning" two conference and two national championships.
Along with a full-frontal assault to show everyone how happy it was to be part of the SEC (frequent flyer miles?), the home of the 12th Man added the 1919 and 1927 titles to its accomplishments. And for good measure, they tacked on 1997 and 2010 Big 12 decorations to the Kyle Field exterior.
Questionable? Got that right. Outright lunacy? Could be. Shameless attempt to fit in? You might be on to something.
But, you know, they already got them on the wall … so … what's new with you?
The Big 12 accolades are more implausible than Taken 3: Liam Neeson's family can't catch a break. In '97, A&M got trounced by Nebraska, 54-15, in the conference championship and in 2010, they finished in a three-way tie for their division but didn't even play in the title game.
The two claims as the top team have a sliver of truth to them. The teams got selected as national champions by some of the off-brand organizations - groups like Billingsley Report, Dunkel System, Helms Athletic Foundation, Houlgate System and Billy's Rankings & Bait Shack Emporium.
However, they were not crowned until years after the season had been played, when those folks went back and awarded titles retroactively. Aggieland never bothered to acknowledge them until 2012.
Maybe they were trying to be like the cool kids of the new conference. I don't want to name names [Alabama], but somebody [Alabama] has been grabbing each and every supposed honor they [Alabama] could get from every guy with an abacus and a few minutes of free time to make a poll.
(Yes, I'm an Auburn grad. Doesn't mean I'm wrong. Why is your face turning crimson right now?)
Of the Tide's most curious stakes to retroactive history, including 1926, 1930 and 1945, none fall further down the ravine of ridiculousness than 1941. That year, the Associated Press had the two-loss Elephants ranked 20th, and they finished third in the SEC.
So with that in mind, why don't we take a trip through time to see who else could snatch up an extra trophy?
Let's start with the beloved Auburn Loveliest Village On The Plains Tiger War Eagles, because let's face it, they aren't winning anything else this season.
Auburn LVOTPTWE (1957, 2010 titles claimed):
Poor cherished, disrespected Auburn. In 1983, the No. 3-ranked Bo Jacksons won their Sugar Bowl matchup, while the top-2 teams both suffered defeat, but No. 5 Miami jumped them to get the AP crown.
The undefeated 1993 and 2004 teams don't have quite as good of a claim; the former was on NCAA probation, and the latter had the misfortune of being preseason ranked behind USC and an Oklahoma team who, clearly, no voter watched all season or else they would have realized how pathetic they were when compared to the other two … let's move on.
Missouri Tigers (No titles claimed)
The other new guys added a couple, so we'll at least give Mizzou one.
The 1960 Tigers finished 11-0 officially, even though they lost to Kansas in their final regular season game. Turns out, the Jayhawks brought an illegal to the Border War (too soon?) – they had a player declared ineligible and forfeited the win.
Kentucky Wildcats (No titles claimed)
The Wildcats fell short of a perfect season in their last game of 1950, losing to rival Tennessee. However, they went on to face the No. 1 Oklahoma Sooners in the Sugar Bowl and won 13-7.
The AP voters named the Sooners national champs that year anyway, since they did it before the bowl games were played. And they did it this way for decades because ... I have no clue why they did this. Wanted New Year's off maybe? Let's go with that.
Vanderbilt Commodores (No titles claimed)
Vanderbilt really has no claim to any championships, and it probably never will. But let's see if we can find something in the annals to hang a first-place ribbon on, in appreciation of the 'Dores keeping the conference GPA respectable.
They did finish ranked 12th way on back yonder in the days of 1948 – the last time they finished in the rankings by the way. The '48 squad overcame an 0-2-1 start to win their next eight games.
They even earned victories over No. 15 Tennessee and No. 12 Miami to finish the year, so that's close enough for me.
It's still better than that '41 Bama title, right? I mean, come on! That's just outrageous; the nerve of these guys to even try to spin that garba ... hey, where are you going?

The Fiat team is hitting the road to showcase the "small but
wicked" Fiat 500 Abarth.
The tour will include many cities around the country, including
Washington, D.C., Chicago and Miami. The first stops were San
Francisco and Los Angeles, where Fiat made sure that local
journalists had a chance to drive and experience the new,
high-performance Fiat 500 Abarth.
Tim Kuniskis, Head of the Fiat brand in North America
and Giacomino Drago, owner and famous Italian chef
at il Pastaio, Beverly Hills, California, posing with the Fiat
500 Cabrio by Gucci and Fiat 500 Abarth.
Once all the driving was done, what better way to
finish the day than slowing down for a great Italian meal? Tim
Kuniskis, Head of Fiat Brand North America, visited restaurant il
Pastaio, located in the heart of Beverly Hills. Much to the delight
of owner and famous Italian chef Giacomino Drago, Kuniskis brought
two true dinner guests with him, the Fiat 500 Abarth and the Fiat
500 Cabrio by Gucci. It goes without saying that the staff of the
Italian restaurant didn't miss the opportunity and also took
the Fiat 500 Abarth for a drive.
Stayed tuned to the Chrysler Group blog for more information about
these stops on the Fiat 500 regional tour.
For another look at the Fiat 500 Abarth, check out this

Sturdy and lightweight, easy to operate.
By Hudson Valley Denizen
from Kingston NY
Sturdy and lightweight, easy to operate. The water spout gradations were great for the garden, though a strong stream for cleaning off cars or deck chairs was less than with a conventional hose. Can't complain at all about this item as a garden hose. Really easy to use, and lightweight enough to drag around the garden with ease. Excellent quality all around. Very pleased!
The best gardn hose!
By Diamond
from New York
The hose is far superior to the green garden hose you see in the store. They work for an hour before they start popping holes and spraying everything you don't want sprayed. This one is strong, collapses asit says and it's black and shoes up on your lawn.

Great Product
Performs exactly as advertised
By Smogheid
from Houston TX
Previous hoses that I have used required more than one section to reach my targets, I always found that the joints leaked, no matter what steps I took. This hose has sufficient length to avoid that problem.Another issue with previous hoses was leakage at the connection to the water supply, no such problem with this hose.
Finally, a hose for all seasons!
By Chas
from Sunnyvale, CA
I haven't used the hose for very long, but so far I am very pleased with it. The only minor complaint is that when I put a fairly heavy stainless/rubber sprinkler on the hose, the hose bends and almost kinks without my holding it straight. Otherwise, I am pleased not to have to lug a very heavy 75 foot, 3/4 inch rubber hose around and coil it when finished.
