Message Board Change
How do I.... ?
Moderator: Team Cub
Message Board Change
Dear Fellow Cubaholics:
It is not without some reservations that I have decided (with everyone's input, thanks!), to move the Farmall Cub website to this new format for the message board.
I realize that it is a somewhat radical change from what you have become accustomed.
There were multiple reasons for this format change:
1. Bandwidth: The new format is more bandwidth efficient (very important now days with expensive web hosting.)
2. Support: The old BBS format provided me with limited support options when it broke recently. (It was still broken while you were still using a crippled system. Archives where lost and the administrative scripting failed to work. I had no way to moderate the old BBS. This was a BIG problem!)
3. My time: This is important to me and only me. The old system required constant nursing. I enjoy the website and everyone on it very much, however, if I am spending an inordinate amount of time on the message board, I cannot develop other features for the site.
4. You & Cub's: Everything I do on or with this site is dedicated to the preservation, restoration and utilization of this GREAT line of tractors. I feel both deserve the best website possible. This board is feature rich and has a team of dedicated developers. It will only get better!
I realize that some of you are not happy with this change. As was pointed out in another message on this site, there is another excellent Cub forum that uses the original format. Even if you like this one, I still encourage you to visit it at: http://www.atis.net You will not find a finer group of people (other than here ) on the Internet!
I hope those of you that do not care for this change, will give it a little while longer to grow on you. If it does not, I still thank you for the time you spent here and the wonderful people that you have helped.

Each has it's advantages, but I really like how much easier this one is to see the new messages without scrolling down several screens, and that I can see several replies without having to open each one.

Ralph, just to the left of the date at the top of the message body is a tiny sheet of paper. If it's yellow it is an unread message, white means you have read it. Each thread has a similiar marker that indicates it contains messages you haven't read. They are easier to see if you use a color scheme other than the yellow background. There is also a "mark all messages read" at the top right of the threads. If you click on it when you finish, the next time you log in you will see the threads you haven't read at the top of the list with the little yellow pages showing, and the ones that don't contain unread messages further down the page with white pages showing.

Dennis I struggled for a while with the new board but since I have got use too it I really like it better than the old one. And a big big Thank You for your efforts
Jim Turner
you are doing a bang up job, and I do know how much work there is in maintaining a web site..
we will all get used to the new board, in fact it has a lot of things in it that I like, especially the inbox!
Keep up the good work...

Never knew the old board was such a problem! I don't blame you for changing. Anyone else may have just forgot the whole deal. I thought the change was just for the sake of change. Thanks very much for all your time and talent.

If it were not for you and this board I would have been stuck as a new Cudaholic. Probably would still be trying to get the gas cap off. I like the new board and will conttinue to support it. Thanks for all your hard work.

I always had to change at work! I know I can change when I play.I agree, most people would just have called it quits.Thanks! for all you have done.

Nice Job Dennis - I too was a skeptic at first, but I think the new board is a big improvement. Thanks for your efforts. Bob

I for one appreciate the work you put into maintence of this forum. I realize its a lot of work and if it makes your life easier then we're behind you.
Problem, as I see it, is that we're a bunch of crochety old coots who are suspicious of change. Why else would we still be fooling around with 50 year old machines when there are plenty of new green, blue, and orange (UGH!) tractors that do the same jobs?
Dennis (51)
I beleive we all feel the same way about the old discussion board. We feel like it is an old trusted friend. A friend we could turn to when something was wrong with our Cub and we couldn't figure it out. Or maybe we just wanted someone to visit with, or maybe give one of our friends a hard time. We always get a good feeling if we can answer a question and help somebody a little. Maybe we needed our spirits lifted a little, so we log on.
We are terribly mistaken. The old discussion board wasn't our friend, it was just a tool we used to all come together. Nothing has been lost, but gained with a new and better tool to even better keep the friendships together. We will soon get used to the new tool and will come to like it better than the old, and the most important thing is the members are here and THAT is the heart of the discussion board!

You the Man! It may be different but it really isn't the board it is the people that make the board. YOU! Are a great guy for doing what you are doing with this web site. The people that contribute make it a great place to come to. It's like the family you never knew you had. The changing of the board is like the kids growing up and moving out. It's different but they still know where you are and you know where they are. Life always goes on! Thanks Dennis for all you do!
Message Board Change
For the past year, the advice from people on this board has helped me keep my '49 Cub running. I don't comment very often, but I do heed the excellent advice.
You have my support in making the necessary changes.

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
(RNN) – So Florida State is a legitimate contender, huh? Well, stab me with a spear, because I keep waiting for them to fall apart against a team with three wins.
That isn't likely to happen because the Seminoles are a wrecking ball with the No. 7 defense in the country and the No. 4 offense. There is only one other team in the country in the top 15 in both – Ohio State (No. 8 offense, No. 9 defense). The fans also chanted "we want Bama" as early as the second quarter of FSU's 41-14 win over Miami.
Your move, Oregon.1
Here is the weekly list of what we learned from watching SEC games in Week 10.
1. There's still some party in the "cocktail." This year's World's Largest Outdoor (Cocktail) Party looked like it was going to be a three-hour Florida-Georgia sadfest, but it turned out to be pretty good – if you only watched the second half.
What's the deal with Mark Richt? Didn't he used to be the kind of guy who led teams to utter collapse in the most crucial moments? Now, he's the guy who draws up clock-draining drives in the final minutes to suck the very life out of his enemies. What gives?
Actually Richt is still your home for late collapses it's just that now he finds a way to survive them. Georgia led by 20 at halftime and didn't score another point while Florida scored 17 of them. The Gators pulled the score to 23-20, but Georgia went on an eight-minute drive and converted a couple of dramatic first downs to suck the clock and the Gators' SEC title hopes dry.
I don't know if I like this year's version of Richt more or less. More importantly, I don't know which one Georgia fans prefer.
2. Mississippi State's offense is a hot mess. Not even my ridiculous double-barreled shotgun idea could survive five turnovers. In fact, it might cause 10 of them. You never know until you try and the Bulldogs need to try something because what they've got isn't working.
Dak Prescott is the starter now and while that is something Bulldog fans were begging for three weeks ago, they might be begging to go back to the way things were following Saturday's 34-16 loss to South Carolina.
Prescott threw three interceptions and the Bulldogs had five total turnovers and didn't force any. Prescott is still Mississippi State's leading passer and rusher by a wide margin and was the leading rusher with 78 yards for the 'Dogs on Saturday, but in their last three games with Prescott emerging as the starter, Mississippi State beat Bowling Green by 1, beat Kentucky by 6 and lost to South Carolina by 18.
They play Texas A&M and Alabama in the next two weeks, so it's a bad time to be struggling.
3. Auburn might be the perfect antidote to Alabama. The only way you can beat Alabama is to do what Alabama does to its opponents to Alabama. It looks an awful like Gus Malzahn designed Auburn's playbook with that very idea in mind.
Auburn averages 306 yards a game rushing (first in the SEC and No. 6 nationally), which is 20 yards more than Alabama's defense allows total. Alabama allows 101 yards per game rushing (first in the SEC and No 7 nationally).
Alabama, which has a stable of running backs and is always reliant on its running game, averages 100 yards less a game than the Tigers. Defensively, Auburn comes nowhere close to matching Alabama's dominance, so that's a concern. So is this stat: the team with the most rushing yards against Alabama this season was Arkansas – the SEC's No. 3 rushing team who lost to Auburn 35-17 this week – which lost to Alabama 52-0.
4. Missouri is back is business. Tennessee mustered a field goal in the second quarter and was glad to get it in a 31-3 loss to Missouri. The Tigers did everything they could to show last week's loss to South Carolina was just a hiccup, but they still have to beat Kentucky, Ole Miss and Texas A&M to earn a trip to the SEC championship game.
The Tigers will be big fans of Florida in two weeks because that is South Carolina's only remaining conference game and a loss in it would allow Missouri to take another loss and still make the title game. Maty Mauk threw for 163 yards and three touchdowns and ran for 114 yards to lead Missouri.
James Franklin is also likely to return from his shoulder injury before the season finale against the Aggies.
5. Arkansas is out of the desert, but it may not matter. It's been six straight games since Arkansas got a win and the crowd at Razorback Stadium at the end of Saturday's loss to Auburn was thinner than in the Alabama student section.
At this point in the year two years ago, Arkansas was ranked No. 3 in the country. Now they're 3-6 and weren't competitive in any of their last five games, which were all against ranked opponents. Arkansas still has to play Ole Miss, Mississippi State and LSU, so the math says a bowl appearance is still a possibility. But the way things are going for the Hogs, they should be glad to just win one of them.2
6. South Carolina isn't just a saboteur. When South Carolina topped Missouri, there were some who thought it only derailed Missouri's national championship hopes and put the SEC's banner in Alabama's hands, but the Gamecocks are trying for their own title.
Connor Shaw threw four touchdowns and South Carolina came within one win of putting some intense pressure on Missouri. It's still hard to get a handle on South Carolina after losing to Georgia, struggling with Vanderbilt and Kentucky, blowing out Arkansas, losing to Tennessee, edging Missouri and winning handily over Mississippi State.
The Gamecocks have no chance at a national championship, and their game in two weeks against Florida will cement the story of their season. If they win, the loss to Tennessee will be seen as a product of Shaw's earlier injury and Texas A&M could put them in the SEC title game by beating Missouri. If they lose, then it will have been an inconsistent season that could have ended with a BCS bowl instead of a trip to Tampa for the Outback Bowl.
7. Florida is in danger of not making a bowl. Where would Florida be now if Jeff Driskel hadn't gotten hurt? Would the Gators have beaten Georgia? Would they have beaten Missouri? What about LSU?
Florida lost all of those game and one to Miami where turnovers ruled the day. The Gators now need to win two of their last four just to make a bowl game in a year when an SEC championship and national championship were real goals.
Their last four games are against Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Georgia Southern and Florida State, so the Gators can make a bowl without pulling off an upset, but to salvage the year and get a bowl worth being proud of, they'll have to and it will have to come against teams battling an SEC championship game berth and a national title.
8. Kentucky can beat teams from Alabama. Kentucky doesn't play many teams from Alabama and isn't successful against the teams from inside the SEC when it does. Since 2008, the Wildcats have one total win over Alabama and Auburn – a 21-14 win over Auburn in 2009 – and in that time have three losses.
But if you throw in all teams from Alabama, Kentucky is 3-3 in that span with a win over Jacksonville State in 2011 and Saturday's 48-14 win over Alabama State. Go 'Cats.
9. Next week will be worth the wait. The last two weeks haven't been particularly thrilling with several blowouts and a handful of games that looked good at the start of the year that didn't pan out. Next week could be more of the same, but the potential for something great is there.
Next week has an odd schedule because all of the games except one take place before the sun goes down. But that one game is one of the best games of the season and is a game with massive preseason hype that looks like it will live up to its billing.
Alabama and LSU have a knack of winning in the other guy's yard, so Alabama should be on notice. This is definitely one the fans should stay all 60 minutes for. Maybe the reason they left the blowout of Arkansas early was to save energy for the tilt with the Tigers. We may never know.
But if there's anything we do know you'll be glad there's no other game of note taking place at the same time to potentially distract you from the goings on in Tuscaloosa. Alabama-LSU is a rivalry that desperately need a good name and has been the best game in the SEC for the last five years. Bama's shootout with Texas A&M notwithstanding, it may be that again this season.
The game will pit Alabama against the team that looks most like itself, but has faltered in recent weeks and is struggling with inconsistency from quarterback Zach Mettenberger. Earlier in the season I was calling him AJ McCarron Junior because he was mirroring the Alabama signal caller's every move. If he found that within himself over the bye week, the game will be a classic.
The offenses are virtually the same, though LSU has a statistical edge, but the defense is where Alabama has a wide advantage in virtually every category. The important thing for LSU will be scoring early and late, because no team has scored on the Tide in the first half since the Aggies. Of the three touchdowns Alabama has allowed in first quarter, the Aggies scored two, and of the four touchdowns the Tide has allowed in the fourth quarter, A&M scored three and is the only team that has come close to beating Alabama.
The spread is expected to be a double digit margin in the Tide's favor, but that is a gross underestimate of how competitive this game is. In the last five years, the margin of victory has been four, three, three, nine and six, and two of those games went to overtime. Alabama won three of those five games and the road team won three of five.3
The teams also consistently allow more points to each other than to other teams, especially on Alabama's end. Both are coming off bye weeks and LSU can make a huge splash by knocking off the No. 1 team in the country and keeping its fading shot at an SEC championship game berth alive.
10. People actually read this stuff. At least one less person is reading, though, because last week I dared to mention Fox News in a sports article.4 Also, I apparently don't know football and should write about badminton instead. Good idea.
The USA badminton team took silver Oct. 24 at the 2013 Pan American Badminton Championship in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Team USA defeated Guatemala 5-0 to open the tournament and was undefeated through pool play.
The Americans then easily defeated Peru in the semifinals, but fell 3-1 to Canada in the championship.
Also, the Winter Junior International Badminton Championships will be held Jan. 3-5 in Orange, CA. Entry is $110 and the deadline is Dec. 3. You can register here.
Well, that was fun and informative, but I think I'll just stick to football from now on because I'd like people to keep reading. Thanks for being one of the ones who did.
Extra points: 1The Ducks have the opportunity to make one Thursday night against Stanford. There may only be three games this season pitting top five teams against each other – Florida State's 51-14 win over Clemson, Oregon-Stanford this Thursday and the BCS national championship game (there also could be a fourth in the Rose Bowl). The NFL game on opposite it on the NFL Network is the Redskins and Vikings, who entering today have three total wins. Unless you're really – REALLY – excited about seeing Dwight Howard play against his former team, the L.A. Lakers, you have no excuse not to watch. (By the way, for a riveting discussion over who is better between Florida State and Oregon, here's a shameless plug for the new collaboration between myself and Hot Reads' George Jones called Rantankerous.)
2The best part of the #karma fallout was the first response to Jen Bielema was from user Josh Gutowski who replied "remember that when you lose your next 6 games." Can this man see the future? Maybe. He's aware of his prediction, too. The crazy Hog lady hasn't had much to sing about, either, but now would be a good time to get those vocal chords loose. I'm thinking maybe a little Tom Petty?
3When you add Alabama's 21-0 win over LSU in the 2011 BCS national championship game, it throws the numbers to a sharp advantage for the Crimson Tide.
4It got me compared to Bob Costas, which I'm taking as a compliment even though I don't like him. Here's my "crime." I mentioned Fox News, President Barack Obama and people who don't like President Barack Obama, but I'm not sure what the egregious comment was. But it was sports and "politics" in the same place and it was not well received, even though I didn't make a political statement.

So it's guaranteed you won't be reading about a P.K. Subban signing for some time. But you can catch a glimpse of him tonight on CBC, as he is featured on the season premiere of "This Hour Has 22 Minutes." Here's a behind the scenes look at P.K. getting ready for the taping. Meanwhile with 21 players thrown into their lap on Monday, the Hamilton Bulldogs signed three players to two-way AHL-ECHL contracts this afternoon. The most familiar face for Bulldogs fans will be Olivier Fortier, who returns for his fourth season in The Hammer. Fortier was a third round pick by the Canadiens in 2007, but injuries limited him to partial seasons since his final year of junior. It seriously affected his future and was never able to crack our annual Top 25 Under 25. Joining him will be five-year AHL veteran Stefan Chaput, who split last season with the Syracuse Crunch and Providence Bruins, and Michigan State grad Daultan Leveille, a former first round pick by the Atlanta Thrashers in 2008. Leveille never signed with the Winnipeg Jets, becoming a free agent. Chaput's stats via Elite Prospects Leveille's statitstics and a 2011 profile from Illegal Curve. The Bulldogs also announce that single game tickets will go on sale this Friday. There will be tiered pricing this season, dropping average ticket prices by $5 over last season. South of the border, high ranked Canadiens prospect Danny Kristo has been suspended by the University of North Dakota, along with the team captain and two other players. The foursome, who make up the team's leadership corps, will miss the season opener against Alaska Anchorage and further team discipline that includes a mandatory community service program, weekly alcohol education programs and probation. Further incident could result in scholarship reduction, a suspension or an expulsion.
The Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins close out their regular season series tonight at the Bell Centre. Will they meet in the playoffs?

The Bachelor: Season 17 Ep. 7 Recap
The crew finally heads south to the tropical island of St. Croix. This only means more of shirtless Sean. This is a big week for Sean and the girls as we head into hometown dates. The six girls left are the ones who I thought would be in contention for hometown dates. Here's what happened this week:
The Bachelor: Season 17 Ep. 5 & 6 Recap
Bachelor Episode 5
The girls and Sean head off to Montana this week. Being the outdoors type of guy, Sean wanted to be outside. That's great, but how about you take them somewhere tropical so we can see the girls in swimsuits? This week was another episode.
The Bachelor: Season 17 Ep. 4 Recap
Once again, the episode starts off with Sean having his shirt off. This season has been terrible to watch so far, especially this past episode. I think it has something to do with how boring these dates are. Whatever happened to the contestants heading off to a private island or some tropical place? This season they haven't left the city, really. Hope it picks up, because it's losing my attention.

Wow, my fellow advocates for safer gun laws have really got folks up in arms now! (Yes, sad pun intended).
It seems everyone is talking, lots of you angrily, especially in comments to my previous columns. Some conversation about the gun issue is better than none at all — I'm for it if it increases the number of voices asking for saner, safer gun laws and speaking out against the ever-powerful (and rich) gun-rights lobby. I'm for it if it encourages rational dialogue between those on both sides looking for logical middle ground to make us all safer.
But not all conversation about gun safety is created equal, especially when it seems to come from a section of the population that may have lost its grip on the reality of where the majority stands.
I'm not talking about those who misquote history — no, Hitler did not disarm civilians before ramping up his aim at European conquest. I'm not writing about those who twist facts, wrongly saying that, "More guns means less violence." I'm not even referring to those who suggest women are safer when armed, despite facts that show the sad opposite.
Those individuals are more accurately inaccurate and misguided at best, deceptive at worst. As much as it makes my skin crawl to hear the argument that, "Guns don't kill, people do," or that an "inanimate object" can't be to blame, I'll accept that as rationalization and an attempt to deflect ceding any ground at all in the discussion about how to prevent more gun violence.
What I'm deeply afraid of is the minority of gun rights advocates who think we are nearing the end of the world and the only thing preventing us from Armageddon is the Second Amendment.
Let's hear from Wayne LaPierre, the CEO of the NRA, who in the glory of all the recent media and governmental spotlight has started to show his increasing detachment from the way the majority of responsible gun owners and NRA members believe.
During last week's Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on gun violence he responded to a question from Sen. Dick Durbin (IL), asking whether he agreed with gun owners who say they, "'need the firepower and the ability to protect ourselves from our government — from our government, from the police — if they knock on our doors and we need to fight back.'"
LaPierre's response: "Senator, I think without any doubt, if you look at why our founding fathers put it there, they had lived under the tyranny of King George and they wanted to make sure that these free people in this new country would never be subjugated again and have to live under tyranny."
LaPierre's other fear, as he told the committee? "What people all over the country fear today is being abandoned by their government. If a tornado hits, if a hurricane hits, if a riot occurs that they're going to be out there alone. And the only way they're going to protect themselves in the cold and the dark, when they're vulnerable, is with a firearm. And I think that indicates how relevant and essential the Second Amendment is in today's society to fundamental human survival."
I think it indicates how very much the rest of us need to be afraid of LaPierre and company being afraid simultaneously that the government will come or that the government will not come.
Did either of those things happen during Hurricane Sandy or any other disaster? Has any of that happened here since we gained our freedom from King George?
But in their world, the government is coming for us and our guns. The police and the U.S. armed forces not only can't or won't protect us, but they're the ones we need to defend against.
I'm even further confused by the kind of arguments being made to defend the paranoia. The weapons of choice aren't lethal, they're not military grade, and us 'anti-gun zealots' are ignorant when it comes the differences between semi-automatic, automatic and assault weapons. But suddenly these same non-lethal weapons are the only things standing between law-abiding gun owners and the most skilled, technologically advanced military force of the modern era!
Is it rational to think that the anachronistic interpretation of the Second Amendment is really about protecting you from the kind of tools at the disposal of today's U.S. military, should some crazy idea seep into the head of either the current occupant of the Oval Office — despite every clue to the extreme opposite — or another kook-with-delusions-of-grandeur from within or without our borders?
With that 'logic,' why stop at the right to bear semi-automatic guns? Any kind of weapon should be allowed just in case we get attacked by our own government, in order to even out the military playing field. In the meantime, these same weapons are great additions to the array of sport hunters' options.
Why not make rocket launchers legal? We've got lots of wide open spaces in Connecticut. Since semi-automatic rifle hunting is such sport, why shouldn't I be able to see how a tree or a deer explodes when it meets a rocket on my private property? Plus, with that state-wide deer problem we have, why opt for just bow-hunting when land mines could be so much more effective!
Instead of a rational reaction to rising death-by-gun rates, instead of a 100-percent, collective response to yet another despicable mass murder (albeit nothing like ever before, given that it was 20 6- and 7-year-olds and their teachers who were gunned down), we hear, "They're comin' for our guns!" and "Laws don't work because criminals don't obey them!" and the like. No, it's not the majority response from those on the side of fewer gun laws, but it's the loudest, and it comes from the leadership — like the NRA.
In fact, the NRA's list of enemies has recently made the rounds of published information. Here are some of those who the gun lobby insists pose grave threat to responsible gun owners:
- The American Academy of Pediatrics
- The American Medical Association
- The American Federation of Teachers
- The American Jewish Committee
- The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
- The Children's Defense Fund
- The Episcopal Church
- Maya Angelou
- Bob Barker
- Kevin Costner
- Sean Connery
- Geraldo Rivera
- Doug Flutie
- Sylvester Stallone
- Blue Cross Bue Shield of Kansas City
- Sara Lee Corp.
- The St. Louis Rams
- McCall's Magazine
- And countless others
Two years ago, I wound up on something called a "Bang List" compiled by one gun rights publication simply for suggesting that parents ask other parents if there was a gun in the home as part of the conversation they should have before deciding where their children should play. It seemed simple conversation was something to be afraid of, too.
I've got to think that the growing list of people recently challenging the NRA – especially former supporters or those who were more likely to let Wayne LaPierre's words go unchecked, like Joe Scarborough or FOX Network's Chris Wallace (who called the NRA head 'ridiculous') — might be a tip off that he is increasingly representing the minority, fringe view.
An irrational, fringe view like the one that we shouldn't have any gun laws because criminals won't obey them.
"Why do we have any laws on the books?" Scarborough challenged. "There are terrorists that are going to end up getting into the United States of America, so why do we even try to stop al-Qaeda? Right? They say they're going to attack us again, so why don't we let down all of our defenses and just give up?"
How about something more parallel: if criminals still get access to illegal drugs, to use, sell and traffic, then why have anti-drug laws? Why mount a war on drugs at all?
The rest of us get to put up our lives as collateral against the minority hedging their bets that the government bogeyman is going to come calling to take away their liberty, our laws don't work, and those we've empowered to protect us will only abandon us in the end. I guess from that irrational viewpoint, the American lives already lost as collateral damage are worthy prices to pay for the unlikeliest of unlikely worst-case scenarios.
You want irrational? As Garry Trudeau eloquently illustrates in his cartoon strip from this past weekend, our country spent trillions of dollars (and sacrificed thousands of U.S. soldiers) waging two long, bloody wars overseas and building up our Homeland Security operations, after the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. During those same nine years, 270,000 Americans were killed by gun violence right here at home. And gun laws have been weakened, rather than strengthened.
Let's not forget the 1,509 lives lost since Newtown (as of Jan. 31), the 35 mass shootings between Columbine and Newtown, the week-long hostage situation in Alabama, where a man was holed up in his backyard bunker after shooting and killing a bus driver (who died defending his bus-load of children) and kidnapping one five-year-old.
Now that's more insane than anything at all.

LONDON, Ky. — A Kentucky man told a 911 dispatcher that he shot and killed his cancer-stricken wife early Wednesday because she asked him to do it.
"I guarantee, I only did what she told me," Ernest "Chris" Chumbley said, according to a recording of the 911 dispatch call.
During the call, Chumbley, 48, sounded distraught and often became incomprehensible because he was crying. He told the dispatcher his wife, 44-year-old Virginia Chumbley, had cancer "all over."
The shooting happened about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday at the Chumbleys' home near London, Ky., about 75 miles south of Lexington.
Chumbley called 911 and reported he had shot his wife. He remained on the phone with the dispatcher while he waited for deputies to arrive. He asked more than once for deputies to hurry and assured the dispatcher he was no longer armed.
At one point, Ernest Chumbley asked the dispatcher if he could see his wife. The dispatcher told him not to move, and Ernest Chumbley replied, "I want to go see my wife."
"You need to stay right where you're at, sir," the dispatcher said.
Ernest Chumbley told the dispatcher his wife was in her bed, and that's where Laurel County Sheriff John Root said deputies found her, dead from what appeared to be more than one gunshot wound.
A .32-caliber pistol was found in the home, according to Root. Deputies found Chumbley in his living room near the front door of his home, and arrested him without incident.
Ernest Chumbley was charged with murder and jailed in the Laurel County Correctional Center.
Laurel County Coroner Doug Bowling said preliminary autopsy results confirmed that Virginia Chumbley had cancer, and she died of multiple gunshot wounds.
A next-door neighbor of the couple, Stanley Campbell, said Virginia Chumbley had struggled with cancer for more than three years and that she was "very sick with it."
"You could hear her at night over there moaning in pain, and it was so sad," Campbell said.
He added the couple had been "wonderful neighbors" over the years.
"In all the 10 years that I lived next door to them, I never once heard them fight or raise their voice to one another. They really and truly loved one another," Campbell said.
He emphasized the only way that Ernest Chumbley would have shot his wife is if she had asked him to do it because of her illness.
"I think she was in a lot of pain and must have asked him to shoot her to end it," he said.
Campbell, who recalled seeing the couple strolling along the street when he first moved to the neighborhood, said those walks ended when Virginia Chumbley became ill.
"After she got the cancer a couple of years ago, you would barely see her out. She was maybe on the front porch once a month. She would try to walk and would often fall. She was just really sick. You could hear her at 2 or 3 in the morning moaning in pain, just gasping for air," Campbell said.
Ernest Chumbley remained jailed as of late Wednesday with bail set at $200,000 cash.

Post subject: Writing a CV
A job vacancy has come up that I'm very excited about applying for. On the application on-line there is a section to attach a CV. Word, PDF, text or whatever. I've never actually had to write a CV before. Does anyone know any good sites for writing a CV? I've searched a few myself, I was just wondering if I could do anything with Linux with this? I checked the Software Centre but didn't find anything? I've got a week to get this together, I'd appreciate any help I can get on this.

The Guardian has a space on its website for
, including a
CV Clinic
and an article about
what employers expect from a covering letter
. Considering the mantra regarding CVs these days is "two pages at the most" and that the covering letter is often very underutilised by applicants, it is a good place to convey more information whilst saying something more useful than, "I'm applying for this vacancy." Also, I'm sure you are aware of this, but you must ruthlessly taylor your CV for the role. By all means, write a "full CV" first and delete sections that don't apply to the role. Put the most relevant qualifications and experience first, too.

If you Google simplecv, moderncv and europecv, you should locate the LaTeX stylesheets for these styles; AFAIK each has some documentation, normally in PDF, illustrating how the CV would look.
Simple is the most traditional; modern and europe both assume you have degrees and will be including photos as well. But, even if you decide to do your own thing, they will give you some idea of current expectations around which to base your own.
If you like any of them and have LyX or LaTeX installed, you can of course create your CV with it.

I can't give you any advice as I'm not brilliant at writing CVs, and I've seen various contradictory advice about what you should and shouldn't include; but here's a recent article from El Reg, which I thought was interesting (also read the comments for some alternative viewpoints) :-

I have maintained a CV of everything for many years; what I normally do is abbreviate it to the main points relevant to the post without leaving any gaps in my employment history.
The key things most employers are looking for are qualifications and experience - if the qualification or experience is not relevant, don't put in all the detail.
It is certainly worth doing it in full now - I was in my thirties when I first sat down and did one properly; it's only recently that younger people have been encouraged to create CVs in the UK - it has been standard practice on the continent for years.

A CV has only one purpose - to get you to interview.
Use any wordprocessor that can save to .doc format - LibreOffice, OpenOffice, and I think Abiword, are fine. (TeX apps mostly only do PDF so if you have to circulate your CV widely, you would lose the large ".doc only" brigade).
Yes it needs a potted history - A levels, further education, jobs. I start mine with a "Profile" and end it with random Good Things. Typically, in order:
Profile - this is where you describe how you see yourself - "a talented and imaginative designer" etc. - and highlight the reason why you are perfect for the particular job - "with a track record of developing effective user interfaces" or some such.
Career - latest job first.
Education and training - simple list or Table, most relevant first.
Additional information - add a few achievements/hobbies here, enough to show you are not a dullard but not so many you look flighty.
Best approach is - write a fairly full CV, then cut out stuff they won't be interested in but without upsetting the "story" you are telling - for example only mention specific Linux distros if they are relevant.
People often put the earliest stuff first. Yawn. The employer will only look at your latest job anyway, so make it easy for them. Only do it in forward time order if you are specifically told to.
Oh, yeah, the covering letter. On the surface this is just a bit of admin introducing them to you and your CV. In practice it is your chance to get that interview before they've even looked at your CV - to artlessly come across as an enthusiastic and experienced live wire who is really keen on this position as your next career step - preferably without actually saying so, and definitely without being cheesy about it. "I am keen to engage more directly with the client, and am confident that my successful experience of helpdesk operation and user interface design provide excellent grounding for such a role at both the personal and technical levels" or whatever.
Anyway, HTH and Good Luck.

List all of your qualifications in this section. Include all of your education including certifications from non-academic institutions, especially those that are related to the job vacancy. If you have more work experience than qualifications, put your work experience before your qualifications.

You should detail your most recent employment experience, and any jobs that are highly relevant to the vacancy you are applying for.
The employment details should include duties, responsibilities and major achievements. I also include a summary about the employer i.e. what they do, and what makes them an outstanding company.
If you wish to list every job you have ever done, then simply summarize them in a table i.e.
Employer, Job Title, Start Date, End Date
However, if this is a long list you should skip it as one thing employers are looking for is stability.
You should also include a section on hard and soft skills:
For the hard skills, list the technical skills required by the job first, such as being able to format a PC and install windows 95 from floppy disks.
For the soft skills look at
for a good list of what you would need to include. You should also explain where and how you use these skills.

The great thing about The Science of Wine is that it's so much more that a wine tasting. We're offering unique, wine-oriented programs to compliment a fantastic evening of wine and food. The following is a list of some of the presenters that will be onhand for the event:
Luis Torres
South American-born, Chicago-raised Luis Torres lends his extensive background in wine supply, distribution, and on-premise roles to the Constellation Academy of Wine. He studied Food Science and Technology in Mexico before spending 15 years in the restaurant industry.

Dynamic pass rusher and a couple of DBs. We had the lead in the 4th qtr in 10 games (6-4), were tied in another one (1-0) and lost a game where the offense had 500+ yards and 0 turnovers.
Yep. A couple. Lawrence Taylor, Reggie White and Mike Singletary.
What is your point? I was wrong? Ok. You win. I was wrong.
Illuminator is a good poster. He sticks to his guns and makes good points. Some don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t like that.
FRG is the most logical poster on this board. You guys just don\'t like where the logical conclusions take you.
I think we are more than a couple players away...maybe more like a handful. I think we are 2 CBs, 1 DE, and a TE away from being a very good playoff team. Biggers and Leonard are ok as the #3 and #4 CB but neither should be starting. We need to sign on of the top free agent CBs and then draft one in round 1 or 2. We also need to improve our pass rush...even if Bennett comes back. I'd like to see us sign a free agent DE and possibly draft a DE in round 1 or 2. If we bring Bennett back than we don't need to sign someone and draft someone. I'd prefer to sign a free agent like Freeney or Avril from Detroit as those are very good players and you know what you are going to get. As for TE...maybe we could bring in Bennett's brother or worst case draft a TE in round 2.If we come away from free agency with a CB and a DE and then draft another CB and a TE...I will be a happy guy. If we end up signing a TE like Bennett...I will be equally as happy. Bottom line...we need 2 CBs, at least 1 DE, and a TE. We get those and this team will immediately be a playoff team. There are still big questions about Josh, but just like we saw with the 49ers and Ravens...with a strong enough cast around him...I think Josh is good enough to get into the playoffs.
We need an upgrade for Miller at DT. He plugs the middle very well. He just doesn't penetrate. I favor drafting a DT with the first pick.

Yea if we could get double teams off Gmac and had somebody else who could pass rush next to him, Gmac would get more pressure and as would the DEs.

With time a precious commodity and fuel prices nearly tripled in the last 10 years, fishing the deeper waters of the Gulf of Mexico is more difficult than ever. Out of my home state of Texas, consistent fishing for grouper and tuna often requires trips of 70-plus miles. By the time you add in stops for catching bait, this leaves little time to fish in a day, even in a fast center-console. Over the years, several of my good friends have figured out how to "stop the clock" and get more bang for those dollars spent at the gas pump by staying out in the Gulf overnight.
Horizon Bound
About seven years ago, I got a call from my buddy John Thomas Dusek, who owned, at the time, a 31 Yellowfin. "We're heading out to the floaters tomorrow morning, and we are coming back in the next day at noon," he informed me. "You in?"
It was a new concept to me, but the thought of throwing topwaters under the lights all night for tuna made my heart race, so I jumped on board.
Preparing for the trip was no different than for any other except we needed more food, more to drink and more bait. None of this was a big deal, though space gets tight when you put four people and everything they need for 36 hours on a center console. Where normally you need lunch, you now need two lunches, dinner and breakfast.
A stop at our favorite breakfast taco stand took care of the last part of the equation, and the rest was taken care of by Subway and Buc-ee's, our favorite convenience store down by the beach. The next hurdle was bait. You never know what you are going to find in regards to bait when you head into the Gulf, so our buddy Pat Varga, who would be accompanying us on the trip, stayed up late the night before catching pinfish to ensure that, should we not be able to find good numbers of blue runners, we would not be wasting our time.
It was a beautiful thing. Instead of getting up at 4 o'clock to meet and get the boat ready, we could sleep in, meet up later, make the long run out, make several stops to catch bait, reach the fishing grounds around midafternoon, fish until dark and through the night, and then fish our way back in.
Stepping Out
On the way out, we made a few select stops to look for cobia and amberjack. Our success in finding for cobia was limited at the two or three offshore drilling platforms, but we boated a couple of sizable amberjack and then dropped the hammer for Flower Garden Banks, a prominent reef system 100 miles off Sabine Pass. The goal was to reach the area before the sun made it to the horizon and to troll for wahoo, which feed best at sunrise and sunset. That evening was perfect as could be, and we added a nice 'hoo to the box before heading even farther into the Gulf.
What I remember most is pulling up to the rig known as the Gunnison just after dark. I wondered if the guy who dreamed up this monstrosity had any idea that he was creating one of the largest fishing lights ever, a beacon that attracts millions of baitfish, which in turn lure some of fastest, hardest-fighting fish to it every night.

Senator Mark Kirk is demanding that federal law enforcers "crush" Chicago's most violent street gangs. He vows to use his powerful post on the Appropriations Committee to obtain the tens of millions of dollars that might be needed.
The senator revealed exclusively to FOX 32 that he's been working on this since the murder of 15-year-old honor student Hadiya Pendleton. It happened a few blocks from President Obama's South Side home and outraged the whole country.
Kirk told Political Editor Mike Flannery that it's time for the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration and every other federal law enforcer here to take down the leaders of Chicago's most violent gangs.
"I would like to crush them, because they shot Hadiya," Kirk told FOX 32.
Senator Kirk says he believes the two young men charged in connection with killing King High School cheerleader Hadiya Pendleton were affiliated with the notorious Gangster Disciples.
Kirk, who met last month with Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy, noted there may be more than 100,000 street gang members here. Recalling the role federal agents played in bringing down Al Capone 80 years ago, Kirk said it's time to do it again.
"My top priority is to arrest the Gangster Disciple gang, which is 18,000 people. I would like to a mass pickup of them and put them all in the Thomson Correctional Facility," says Kirk. "I will be proposing this to the assembled federal law enforcement: ATF, DEA and FBI."
Kirk says he has talked to federal prosecutors and the FBI about his proposal. Their response?
"They usually say, when you talk about 18,000 arrests, 'Oh! That's a lot!'" Kirk says. "You know, I've talked with federal judges about how we could handle hundreds of defendants, especially with senior Judge Holderman."
Kirk says the charges would be "drug dealing" and "murdering people, which is what they do."
"Gangs in Chicago are businesses," says former federal prosecutor Ron Safer. "They control 95% of the retail drug sales. We ought to be going after them with everything we have."
In a satellite interview, Safer explained how he did exactly that 20 years ago, locking up 50 leaders of the Gangster Disciples.
A series of trials documented how the Gangster Disciples had reached from their Chicago headquarters into at least 28 states, with annual revenue of more than $100 million, primarily from an illegal narcotics trade they controlled through ruthless murderous violence.
"I think Sen. Kirk is on exactly the right track," Safer says of the senator's idea. "Hold people accountable. Have them go after these organizations. Have them attack the leadership of these organizations who are the one who profit from the bloodshed that's happening on our streets."
The senator says he's still doing rehab exercises to recover from last year's stroke and he plans to seek re-election.

Pete Townsend Memoir Set For October 8th
Thursday, August 16, 2012
Pete Townshend has announced that his long-awaited memoir, Who I Am, will be published on October 8th through Harper Collins. Townshend, who's last book was 1985's fictional Horse's Neck, talked about the new autobiography in the book's press release saying, "I am lucky to be alive and to have such a crazy story to tell, full of wild adventures and creative machinations. I am happy that I am able to write my book myself, in my own 'voice' that many readers will be hearing for the first time. I am not my favorite subject, that will always be art and music, but whenever I write about my life and work I learn something."
Townshend and Roger Daltrey spoke about the possibilities of new music from the Who in the near future: "(Pete Townshend): The only thing is is that I'm not sure whether what I write today, y'know, whether you can rubber stamp it as 'Who music.' But what I think we found was Roger and I will adapt to whatever happens and whatever I write and we'll see what happens, so all I can do is write the music and pass it to Roger and see what happens. (Roger Daltrey): I just think whatever you write, even if it's a piece of jazz, and it's got words and you play it, and I sing it -- that's Who music. That'll do me."
The Who kicks off its Quadrophenia & More Tour on November 1st in Sunrise, Florida at BankAtlantic Center.

Fruit Jars
Not even sure if that's the correct term for these, but I found several, (about 100) in my Dad's attic all boxed up. They were wrapped in newspaper dated in the late 1980's, which is when my grandmother passed away. So, with she being of that generation where they knew how to can vegetables.....they must have been hers. I'm guessing they date post WW2. I've googled them and it seems there are many collectors of them, and depending on the name, size, color of glass, etc, they have some value. I'm not sure if seals can still be had for them or not. I certainly don't want to be older, but I would have loved to see my grandparents use these. Going to hang on to them, maybe clean them up and put some jelly beans in them.

The 1/2 pint blue jars are real hard to find any more
Re: Fruit Jars
These are interesting items. And yes I certainly remember them from my Grams. She did all kinds of canning and preserves. We don't have much left from the old farm, mostly memories but they are good ones and the taste of fresh preserves and jams still linger in my olfactory memories.
Seals for these jars are still available. We had a local shop that deals in canning supplies and they can get seals for almost any of these older style. Bernardin makes a bunch as well as Ball, Mason, Viceroy and Liberty are some of the popular brands for the older jars. Check out AllAmericanCanner.com
This was an interesting hit: Common Misconceptions About Fruit Jars
One thing I have learned is that the colour of old glass jars is determined by the different minerals that may be in the mix. Zinc turns purple after years of exposure to the sun if I remember what I leaned on the History Channel is correct. Many of these jars are very, very valuable. I would be doing the research on em.

Re: Fruit Jars
Canning jars, fruit jars, call them what you want to. I would doubt they are post WWII. The tin/lead lids were in use by then. I'm quite sure the two piece lid/sealing rings were in use by then. I can't remember that far back but I think mother was using both later kinds by 1950. Vern

REMEMBER: Keep it correct or you may face the
Re: Fruit Jars
The wire bale is, in my estimation, pre-WWII. I never saw any of those new during or after WWII. Screw-on rings and sealing lids were and are the norm in my area. While the rings would fit glass mayonnaise jars, those jars would often not survive the canning process and only the desperate or uninformed used those for canning. The sealing lids offer an easy check for a good seal, both at the time of the canning and thereafter.
My folks felt that the Ball lids were better than the Kerr brand. Storekeepers called them "Kerr tops". We used the discarded ones for toys.

Mike Scioscia: It was a terrific ballgame, no doubt about it. I know the guys on our side, I don't think they were any more intense than any other games that I've been around. These guys were playing baseball. I think it was a terrific ballgame. I think there were a lot of little subtleties in it that were working into the way the game swung, and those guys, those guys played a heck of a game on the other side. Our side came up with some big hits off of some very, very tough relievers to win that ballgame.
Q: Given [Eric] Gagne's struggles, were you surprised Dusty did not bring in [John] Smoltz to face [Hank] Blalock?
Scioscia: I didn't know Gagne struggled much. He's an incredible reliever. I think you could pick any one of these three that Dusty had, [Billy] Wagner or Gagne or Smoltz, and any one of those guys are incredible. I think with the pitchers out there, I wasn't surprised at all that he left them in the game.
Q: With home field and World Series on the line, do you feel you managed the game differently than you would have otherwise?
Scioscia: At times, I think we were more conscious of late-inning matchups than we might have been if it was more of an exhibition game, and that's one reason why I think Hank appeared so late in the game, and I could get him matched up against one of the other guys. It's not great being matched up with Gagne or Smoltz, but better than Wagner. I don't think it was any different. You saw some good pitching and some excellent hitting. You know, we ended up on top.
Q: Garret, the home run thing, was this a warmup for your other heroics?
Garret Anderson: No. Those two things, yesterday was a lot of fun. Today was a competition as far as playing the game of baseball. Yesterday was more of an exhibition, to put on a show for the fans; they want to see the long ball. Today it was going back to playing baseball and doing the things that I'm capable of doing.
Q: Can you elaborate a little bit on the matchup with Blalock in there and why you decided that was a strength?
Scioscia: Well, I think although Gagne is tough on everybody, to go lefty/righty with Gagne, he's incredible. We were trying to keep Troy [Glaus] in the game as long as possible, but the thing we were looking at is to make sure we were by Wagner. Because if we had thrown in Blalock sometime in there with Wagner, I know Hank, we have confidence in hitting him, but it's a tougher matchup. We wanted to get by that one in particular and try to save him. We knew he was going to be facing one of those other two guys.
Q: You guys had Game 7 at home last year and that might have been the difference, home-field advantage in the World Series, because nobody has won Game 7 on the road since 1979. How important was this for these late-inning heroics and everything to basically give the American League, and maybe your team again, home-field advantage in the World Series?
Scioscia: Let me give you a quick answer. I'll let Garret expand on it. I'm not as big on the home-field advantage meaning as much as some people. We lived it last year, and I just know that if you're playing this type of baseball and you're playing your game, you're going to have as much a chance of winning wherever you're playing. We started two series last year without home-field advantage, on the road, lost the first game of each series, played our game and we were fortunate enough to win and get to the World Series. I feel that we played our game. We were just as confident going into Pac Bell in Game 6 and Game 7 last year. I'm just a believer that it is how you're playing, not who you're playing or where you're playing, that is going to determine who is champion.
Anderson: Last year we both won a game in each other's parks, so we took it away from each other. So from that standpoint, like Mike said, playing good baseball in the postseason, doesn't really matter where you're playing if you're playing good baseball. It didn't hurt that we had Game 7 at home at all, but we had as much confidence that we won a game in Yankee Stadium, we won in Minnesota. So, you know, home-field advantage is an advantage because you play more games in your park.
Q: Was the atmosphere different tonight from when you played in previous All-Star Games?
Scioscia: I don't think the intensity was any greater or any less. As a player, maybe you experience things a little differently. I go back to last year as a coach and I just know how much the guys wanted to achieve last year and how hard they played. This year was no different. I don't think anything was turned up because Game 7 was on the line. I do think the pride and the passion that these guys have to play is what motivates them and what puts you out there on the field to be on the field with the best players in the world at this time. I think that's what our guys did. I know that's what the guys on the National League side did. They played every bit as hard, and we came out on top.
Q: What was the umpire's explanation on allowing [Rafael] Furcal to score? And in all of the All-Star Games you've played in or watched, do you remember a manager going out to argue with the umpires?
Scioscia: I'll answer your latter half first. No, I don't remember the call. Maybe some guys have been here a lot longer. Russ might have more insight, but I don't. As far as the call, and Garret could probably comment on it, he was closer, but I thought the fan in the field earlier, we got a late interference called. And at the time the play developed, I believe it was, Furcal was four or five steps from third base when Garret was getting the ball. You know, you're only talking probably maybe less than a 200-foot relay from where Garret was shallow, and I just didn't think there was anyway that Furcal was going to score if there was, if the play was allowed to develop.
Q: You are normally a pretty stoic guy, but when Blalock hit the home run, you gave a pretty big arm pump. What was your emotion at that time?
Anderson: Any time you see, as a ballplayer, when you're going against a tough pitcher and you see something like that happen, you just don't see that every day. That is what's exciting about the game: never knowing what's going to happen, because paper-wise, on paper, we were not supposed to score any runs off Gagne. And to do it in that fashion, it definitely was very exciting.

AshEl is a food-based activist who has been heightening consciousness for years in the Bay about what we put in our bodies. We have to use everything that we have to inform and educate our people about how our body works – young people especially. I salute AshEl on his valiant quest to keep us in the know about how these corporations are trying to kill us from the inside out.
