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) – Southern Cal fired Lane Kiffin today and Ole Miss castoff Ed Orgeron was named interim head coach.
In other things that aren't surprising, Oregon hung 50 on somebody with a bad defense, politicians are acting stupid and your fantasy team is terrible.
Here is the weekly list of what we learned from watching SEC games in Week 5.
1. Mark Richt got replaced in the offseason. Do you actually expect me to believe Mark Richt won another big game? I don't. I won't. I can't.
Mark Richt must be a shape-shifter, or a Transformer, because he looks the same as he always did and sounds the same, but something is very different – he doesn't choke away close games against good teams now. He actually beat LSU 44-41.
I refuse to believe this is the same Mark Richt I've come to love.1 Old Mark Richt would have found a way to screw up clock management and hand LSU an easy win or let Aaron Murray throw an interception at the worst possible time or forget that you're allowed to stop the other team from scoring and let them march down the field for a game-winning touchdown or even let the Tigers go all Herman Edwards on the final play. He might have even found a way to lose that no one could've predicted.
New Mark Richt engineered a go-ahead scoring drive with under two minutes to play, covered all of LSU's receivers and got pressure on LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger to keep the Tigers from coming back, all while sealing a win over a higher-ranked team for the second time this season.
New Mark Richt is boring. He's also setting Georgia up for colossal failure either against Florida or in the SEC championship game.
2. Don't troll the Tide, because the Tide trolls back. Ole Miss hairdo/quarterback Bo Wallace said he felt the Rebels wouldn't have any trouble scoring against Alabama. A safety was as close as he came to backing that up, and that counts for something, right?
Wallace almost scored twice in a 25-0 loss to the Tide. Before he was tackled in the end zone on a read option run, Wallace was saved from an intentional grounding penalty in the end zone by being out of the pocket. In his defense, the Rebels' offense did get close to scoring their own points twice, too (more on this in a minute).
Alabama's defense is in bowl game form, and the Tide has gotten a non-offensive score in every game they've played so far this year. Ole Miss' stellar ground game was held to 46 yards, and Wallace, Scott, Moncrief, etc. were held to 205 total yards. Alabama's much-maligned offense outgained Ole Miss in rushing yards alone.
Ole Miss picked up 11 first downs after averaging 27 first downs in its first three games.
3. Johnny Football has turned into Johnny Hope This Gets Caught. For the second time this season, Johnny Manziel added a play to his highlight reel by lofting a pass he had no idea would be caught in the general direction of a guy who jumped over three defenders to catch it.
The touchdown to Mike Evans was the second touchdown for both players and only accounted for 7 of Manziel's 261 yards and Evans' 116 yards, and put the Aggies on top of Arkansas by 14 points – their largest lead in a 45-33 win.
Johnny Offense is getting the credit for the play because he is "Johnny Football" and everything he does is amazing, even when it isn't.2 He threw the ball, so yay for him, but he should not get the credit for it because the receiver was the star of the show. Like his play two weeks ago against Alabama, it didn't gain many yards, but at least this week's toss went for a touchdown – and the Aggies won the game.
If you have a receiver who is 6-foot-5, you should put that advantage to work, but you shouldn't just indiscriminately throw a ball and hope it lands in friendly hands. That is unsustainable. But, like all things in football, it's a good strategy if it works, and right now it's working.
4. Missouri might deserve its SEC membership. Did I really just say that? I must be going soft.
While "Johnny Football" was guiding A&M to it's, uh, rousing(?) win over Arkansas, Johnny Football Junior, aka James Franklin (player), was guiding Missouri to a, uh, rousing(?) win over Arkansas State. Franklin also doubled Johnny Offense's touchdown total.
Franklin threw for 255 yards and three touchdowns and ran for 33 yards and another touchdown and led a 41-19 come-from-behind win over the Red Wolves. Arkansas State held a lead late in the third quarter, and that's when Franklin went to work for the Tigers. He threw two touchdowns in the final five minutes of the game to put it out of reach.
Missouri is the only undefeated team in the SEC East, which would mean something if the Tigers had either a). played a conference game or b). played somebody respectable. We'll soon know if they are for real or not because four respectable opponents are lined up for the Tigers' next four games, and three of them are ranked.
5. Hugh Freeze can't count. Refer back to Ole Miss' offense having two chances to score. They were both squandered by failed fourth down conversion attempts in the red zone. A field goal in either of those situations erases the shutout, and a field goal in both would have cut the Tide's 16-0 deficit to 16-6 and made a comeback seem reasonable.
It was after the second squandered scoring attempt that the Rebels' offense fell apart. Wallace gave up the safety and later fumbled, which led to a late Alabama touchdown.
In all, the Rebels went for it on fourth down four times and converted one. It looked a little bit like Freeze thought he got five downs instead of four. Ole Miss entered the game 21-of-41 on third down and converted 4-of-14 against Alabama. The Rebels were also 5-of-8 on fourth down entering the game.
Again, it's a good strategy if it works, but unfortunately for the Rebels, it didn't work.
6. Zach Mettenberger is not a man. Before racing Georgia to 50, Les Miles said Mettenberger had to put aside all the distractions that come from trying to stick it to his mom's boss and described the game as a man-sized job.
History is written by the winners, and Mettenberger lost, so he's still in adolescence. Mettenberger, aka AJ McCarron Junior, had the opportunity to lead his team on a game-winning drive on the road much like McCarron did against Mettenberger's team last year, against Texas A&M earlier this season and in the SEC championship game last year against Georgia.
Mettenberger was not up to the moment on the final drive as his passes were off target, including a very poorly thrown ball on fourth down that ended the game. However, all hope is not lost for young Zach. He'll get another chance in November against McCarron himself.
Outside of the final drive, however, Mettenberger was everything he needed to be and more. He threw for 372 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions.
7. Tennessee is, ugh, I just don't know. The Volunteers were on their way to a good win over South Alabama, and then it all just went to crap. Quarterback Justin Worley threw three interceptions and the Jaguars cut a 31-7 lead down to 31-24, which was the final.
It was a much needed win for Tennessee, which was coming off losses to Oregon and Florida and now must face Georgia, South Carolina and Alabama in consecutive games.
8. Kentucky's best athlete is its kicker. Did you see Florida get taken for a ride by a kicker who is much faster than a kicker should be? It was hilarious.
Owing to his position on the field, Joe Mansour ran about 55 yards in 6 seconds. Kentucky might want to try him at wide receiver. He could play running back too because his 25-yard scamper was good enough to make him Kentucky's leading rusher. In fact, everybody not named Joe Mansour combined for 23 rushing yards.
Kentucky's offense gained a total of 150 non-Joe Mansour yards in a 24-7 loss to the Gators. Mansour also kicked the PAT and tied the game at 7 in the first quarter. Only three Kentucky players have more touchdowns this season than Mansour, and he has more touchdowns than Kentucky's leading rusher.
I really hope this isn't the last we see of him.
9. Arkansas is just good enough to scare you. I'm not sure if this is due to Arkansas' running game or Texas A&M's lack of defense, but the Razorbacks racked up 200 yards on the ground and Brandon Allen threw for 282 yards and a three touchdowns.3
But Allen also threw two interceptions and Arkansas was 5-for-12 on third down. Arkansas might make some noise against Florida, South Carolina, Alabama or LSU, but it doesn't appear good enough to seal the deal.
10. The targeting rule is stupid. Now that all the perfunctory making fun of people who lost is out of the way, it's time for a rant.
This new rule about ejecting players for "targeting" is perhaps the dumbest thing the NCAA has ever done. This is true for two reasons: 1. Nobody knows exactly what "targeting" is and 2. The ejection can be overturned on review, but the penalty can't.
Basically what happens is a referee sees something that he thinks might be illegal in some way and throws a flag for targeting, which is a 15-yard penalty and an automatic ejection of the penalized defender. Then the play gets reviewed. If the replay official determines it was not targeting, the player is allowed to stay in the game, but the penalty stands.
This is the only instance in any sport where the officials can use replay to realize they were wrong and not make it right. If the replay official says there was no targeting and the player can stay in the game, he's saying the penalty should not have been called, but the penalty stands no matter what the replay shows.
That's asinine.
I have seen many more ejections overturned by review than upheld. Just this week in the SEC, at least two ejections were overturned. It happened to Alabama against Ole Miss. It happened to South Carolina against Central Florida.
If the ejection occurs in the second half of the game, the player must sit out the first half of the next game. In the SEC this season, it happened to A&M against Rice, it happened to Auburn against Arkansas State, and it happened to Missouri against Toledo.
The inconsistency is one thing, but the more egregious problem is telling teams they didn't do anything wrong but they're going to be punished anyway, and that punishment might carry over to your next game.
FOX rules expert Mike Pereira, who is almost universally respected, has had some excellent weekly analysis of the rule, and he's firmly in the camp against it. In fact, no one seems to like the rule, and the only articles I was able to find in support of it, doesn't really support it.
The only defense the rule has is that it helps player safety. But if you're routinely overturning the call, that argument is immediately compromised because you're punishing legal hits, which means the defender will not see the need to change his behavior because he was exonerated.
Safety is obviously something that everyone should support, but anybody can make a rule that increases player safety.4 What you can't do, or at least what hasn't been done, is make a rule that increases player safety, makes sense and is easy to understand. The targeting rule fails at all three.
Extra points: 1And by love I mean hate on incessantly. It's one of the few things I'm truly good at, and this new Georgia coach has deprived me of the opportunity to perform at my highest level.
2I pulled this straight from ESPN's mission statement. The network may not admit to it, but it's without a doubt the opinion its broadcasters are taking on the air.
3The crazy Hog Lady even posted a video. But, sadly, she isn't singing and she doesn't even show up in it. It's just a video of an Arkansas touchdown taken by recording the TV with a cell phone. C'mon, LizHoney, you're better than that.
4Here's one: Eliminate all contact between players and end plays after four seconds. That was easy, and just as dumb as the targeting rule.

When most people think of their ideal pet, a certain breed of dog or cat instantly comes to mind. However, for those who love more exotic pets and are willing to put in a little more time and effort, a pot-bellied pig can be an ideal choice.
Pot-bellied pigs, including mini and micro pigs, can make good indoor and outdoor pets," said Philippa Sprake, clinical assistant professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (CVM). "Pigs are social animals and each has their own personality.
While pigs are unbelievably intelligent (and adorable), there are a few things pet-owners should know before bringing little Wilbur home to stay.
The first thing future owners should do is check with their local homeowners' association as well as their home's zoning regulations to ensure that pigs can be kept on the property. Pigs can be extremely noisy, especially when adapting to a new environment, and the last thing any new pet owner wants is an angry neighbor or landlord trying to have the pet removed.
"When it comes to deciding on a piglet, it is very important to choose one that is at least 8 weeks old, weaned, and comes from a reputable breeder to ensure that it is healthy," said Sprake. "Also, even though they are called miniature, micro pigs can still grow to around 40 pounds and full size or traditional pot belly pigs can reach 100 pounds or more, so it is important to see the parents of the pig you are planning on taking home to evaluate your piglet's potential adult size."
Pigs can be trained very similarly to dogs using positive reinforcement techniques such as clicker training. They are also highly food-motivated, so it is important to make sure that their treats are low in calories, such as fresh fruits or vegetables, in order to prevent obesity.

Break the cycle with these nine DIY foodie gifts. All you need is 10 minutes to whip up rosemary, garlic and sea salt dipping oil or about an hour for a meatballs and sauce meal in a basket. And with an average price of $8 to $12, none of these will break the bank.

Preserved Lemons
Prep time: 30 minutes
- 4 lemons
- 1 1/2 cups lemon juice
- 2 cups kosher salt
- With soap and boiling water, thoroughly clean a small ramekin, a 1-quart glass jar and its air-tight lid. Allow to dry completely.
- Scrub lemons and wash with soap and water.
- Slice small bumps off both ends of the lemon, then quarter each lemon pole to pole.
- Remove the seeds and trim the white material that runs from top to bottom through the lemon.
- Pour salt into a bowl. Place each lemon slice into salt, one at a time, rolling it until lemon is heavily caked in salt.
- Place lemon into the glass jar. Repeat until the glass jar is almost completely packed.
- Pour lemon juice into the jar, leaving 1/2" of space at top.
- Add a tablespoon of salt.
- To ensure the lemons remain completely submerged in lemon juice, place the bottom of the ramekin through the mouth of the jar and on top of the lemons.
- Close lid. Allow the lemons to pickle for 30 days at room temperature, turning/shaking the jar each day to redistribute the salt throughout the liquid. (The lemons will be fully preserved after 30 days.)
- The preserved lemons can be transferred to refrigeration and stored for up to 6 months.

Meatball Preparation:
- Mix all the ingredients together and roll into balls—about the size of a tennis ball. (Consistency should be somewhat sticky.)
- Add meatballs to sauce and cook over low heat for one hour, stirring occasionally.

Converting to 12V
Hi guys...got an e-mail from Steiner today with their new offering of alternator brackets..got me thinking as I am getting back to my project Cub..I think I would like to set this one up with a 12V alternator...Anyone have an updated wiring diagram for this conversion..do I need to change the pulley on the fan assy?..I know I need a 12V coil, and lights...can I use the existing charge /discharge gauge...If I were to use a Magneto..Can you run the Tractor/alternator without a battery installed....Thanks for any input on this....Tom

Re: Converting to 12V
I would suggest upgrading to a battery ignition unit (distributor).
I have used a Napa one wire alternator in the past - P/N 2134011SW - it works at the lower RPM's so you can use the early style fan pulley assembly.
Depending on what style alternator and wire qty. you select, someone can direct you to the correct wiring diagram.
Re: Converting to 12V
"Can you run the Tractor/alternator without a battery installed." For starting with battery ignition, it is necessary to use a battery for the ignition and to excite the alternator. It is NEVER advisable to disconnect the battery while the engine is running where an alternator is involved.

No. I converted to a single wire 12 volt alternator and did not have to change the pulley on the fan assembly or the alternator. It is possible that you will need to exchange the pulley from the generator to the alternator.
Advisable to change the amp gauge. Most alternators put out 60 + amps. The original IH gauge on the Cub was 20 amps.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Converting to 12V
"got an e-mail from Steiner today with their new offering of alternator brackets."
http://www.steinertractor.com/Default.a ... 4A9F6910BD
Is this it? Looks as if the bracket is intended to cradle the original narrow tensioning lug on the alternator and the original alternator base is used for the tension arm in the kit.
http://www.steinertractor.com/ABC535-mi ... ley--diode
The specified alternator appears to be a Denso. The bracket kit alone is not overpriced considering the time it takes to develop dimensions and fabricate one at home. But it will not work as is with a Delco 10SI. The Steiner alternator adds a lot to the cost. But it may be a nice conversion.
Pardon my criticism, but I have seen many poorly done conversions.
Luck favors those who are prepared
Re: Converting to 12V
Here is a link to a simple fix
And Bus Driver , I have seen some very bad rigs too, most done by incompetent people, The Delco is the best way to go. However if you are not mechanically inclined get someone else to do it.

Re: Converting to 12V
Contact Clint Carter in the above post. He is making the upper and lower alternator brackets. His quality is outstanding and his parts fit the Delco 10SI or the Delco single wire clone. I did have to shim out the upper alternator bracket - not a problem. Clint's parts fit and the cost of his parts and a Delco single wire clone from you local auto parts store will be less that the previously advertised adapter kit and alternator.
If you have some strap metal, a hack saw, drill press and a welder you can make the bottom bracket that supports the Delco alternator in the upright position. Took me two tries to get it right.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Converting to 12V
12-v conversion IS worth whatever it costs!---My 72 is factory 12-v and starts SOOOOO much better/quicker than the 49 and 56 do on 6-v.---Also you have more options for electric power accessories on 12-v!
Just make sure that you also switch to negative ground on your battery and work from that point on your wires! just my 0.02 and good luck!!! thanks; sonny
Re: Converting to 12V
Thank you to all who responded...with a little more research on my own...found a nice wiring diagram...
Ordered the mini 42 amp 12volt alternator..( fits nicely under the hood with NO cutting ) it is a two wire...no big deal.., mounting brackets, 12volt coil with built in resistor, 60-0-60 IH logo ammeter, complete headlight assy's, rear combo light....
I have also seen...actually every one that I've seen..12 volt conversion...looked like a 3rd grader did it...My aim is to make this a professional, neat, quality conversion....can't wait to see how it turns out...awaiting parts....I'll update when I'm done...Thanks again....

Old Age: The phase of life when nothing works and everything hurts...
God be with you and your family. I can say that I know what you are going through. My beautiful helpmate was called home in February of this year. She had terminal lung cancer. She was 48 years young. We both began trusting in God and Christ in 1982 in our early 20's. "God is Good" was always her motto. "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him" I know she is in a better place, our 2 teens know that she in a better place. We have been given grace to bear the loss. We have a peace beyond all understanding. We miss her more with each passing day. I see that this life is truly short when compared to eternity. Make the best of what God has given you. Love, as hard as you are able.
"Lord of heaven and earth, I offer up this prayer right now with all these people on the forum who feel the need to respond to the request of a man most of us probably have never met, but we all feel a sense of community to. Lord, we lay aside our hobbies, we lay aside those things which you have given us for enjoyment in this world, things that will pass away with time and are corruptable. Lord help us to see that which is above, extend your grace in this time of great need. We are all so very needy Lord but oftentimes we forget to ask for help. Our brother is asking for help Lord, not for himself, but for those he holds dear. Lord grant him his prayer, his many prayers. May your spirit even now minister to George and his family that you hear our prayer.
Our Father,
who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day,
our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the Power, and the Glory,
forever and ever,
Peace be with you all.
Just Do It !
Bless them all George, Bev and I will pray for them all. Bev had a knee 6 years ago and has danced with it just fine, fox trot, lindy, rock and roll and many more. Marilyn will do just fine I am sure. She had such a nice way about her and a very goo attitude.

"Max" is quite possibly the most used and abused term in the realm of marketing. Typically, the word deceitfully depicts a knockoff, or product that will surely never live up to its hype. Truth be told, buyer beware of anything "Max"…but with one clear exception - Frabill's new MAX portable ice fishing shelters. Unmistakably, they offer the maximum amount of quality and fishability in a portable ice fishing shelter.
Frabill has taken two of the most prolific and trusted shelters – the Commando and Trekker – and engineered in the new and innovative Shuttle sled base. So now you have the quintessential one and two person fishing machines with storage solutions never before available to the fishing public.
The Trekker MAX integrates a fleet-of-foot, two-person shelter with a complete storage solution. The Shuttle sled base features a fully enclosed hard top cover with specialized compartments, each with a lid and durable metal hinges. A spacious bulk storage compartment houses significant gear like a flasher, underwater camera, bait containers and tackle boxes.
From a sitting standpoint, the Trekker MAX comes complete with two of Frabill's signature deluxe padded seats. Set your tush on one of these comfortable chairs and the deal will be sealed right on the showroom floor. Plainly, they're the most comfy and supportive seating systems available.
But wait, before you order, we've yet to mention perhaps the keenest feature of all. Both the Trekker MAX and Commando MAX offer built-in, hard-case-style rod and reel storage that can accommodate up to 10 combos. Forever eliminate the dread of pulling up to a spot only to find that the heater tipped and snapped your favorite rod like a Pixie Stick.
Speaking of the Commando MAX, this voluptuous one-man shelter is shockingly roomy – 50-inches X 33-inches with 11 square feet of fishable space. Couple that with 66-inches of headroom, and you'll begin to wonder if this one-person fish-catching-machine is actually built for two… It, like the Trekker MAX, is founded on the storage friendly Shuttle base. The Shuttle bases on both models offer 13.7 cubic feet of storage. Basically, enough space to accommodate a winter's worth of gear.
Regarding tents, the Trekker MAX is covered by strong and long-living 600 denier fabric, while the lean and mean Commando MAX stays fit with athletic 300-denier fabric. Standard as well is the MaxVent air exchange system, which maintains atmospheric conditions as fresh as well oxygenated minnows. The Trekker MAX also offers front and rear zippered doors; the Commando MAX a generously sized front entrance.
Frabill has undoubtedly put the MAX back in "Max."

I Have Em All
Collectibles Corner is the place to show off and discuss your favorite IH / Farmall / Cadet collectibles.
Moderator: Team Cub
I believe there are 4 yellow's The cub bear, the short decal, long decal, ans special edition one that I think Don was refering to. That one has a special marking below the HDLC, line. and then theres the red's that you seem to have covered.
Don that is fine as I have those. For some reason I read it that it was one red and one "yellow" and white.
Sorry for the mix up
Bear Cob
Rudi..I have the Bear Cub. On the box it says ERTYL collectible.Tractor is marked ERTYL 689-8916. Believe you need one more. But then thats the way it is with Cubs.Never too many. Don Eicher
I have an Ertl from 1998 that is labled Ertl Collectibles 4999 on the end of the box and Foxfire Friends on the front of the box.
It is a white and yelow cub with a porcelain bear and under the picture of the tractor is "Cub on a cub #B2". I assume the cub is the same as one of the series. This one has the long decal.
The Foxfire Cub on a Cub tractor is almost identical to one of the others (but that can be said of all of them can't it?). Two (as I recall) of the seven are special editions and have wording cast into the left side. The circle Cub says "1989 1ST EDT" and the yellow long stripe says "1991 EDITION". They also have black steering wheels. The Foxfire Cub appears to be identical to the other yellow long stripe (including the black steering wheel) but doesn't have any added wording on the side.
I think I am going to be busy for the next hour or so. I am trying to figure out all the different ERTL 1/16th scale Cubs.
I have already started going through all the ones I have collected so far, I am cataloguing the pics into a new folder and will add it in a bit. Hopefully in the next hour or so... we shall see.
I knew about the FoxFire Cub.. Ralph has already brought me up to speed on that one months ago, and I am looking for one.. but it is a different product group, so I am not considering it as a pure ERTL Cub... yet..
I saw something about the chrome plated one and will do a search on for it in the completed listings.. and maybe snag some info on that as well..
This I think is going to become another one of those interesting pages for the server..
Working, working, working...

Congrats on your (completed ?) collection Rudi! Dad and I each have one toy cub, and looking around for deals on the other ones. I hope you get your cubs cataloged and figure all this out!

Kubota BX 1860
Geeze Rudi, I guess that means you don't need the yeller one like Rufus?? I was holding it for ya....
I just sent Dan Overcash my only yeller one with the long stripe. I also have one or 2 red ones with the blue/black stripe. And the Foxfire one with the long stripe and the bear.
It started out just to get a yeller one and a red one like the ones I own, but I am not paying $30 more for one with an upright exhaust! So I am happy with the underslung red one and a few too many yeller ones (although technically they are almost the same as my Lo Boy).
I didn't even buy out all of them at the TSC in MI when they had the re-relased one. They were $11 each, and the JD 'H' was $6. Sold em last year before Christmas on EBay.
By the way they have a close out going on now at TSC for A's (15.96) and Super C's (26.43)
My good friend has a JD shrine (china cabinet) but that is a lot easier to do cause there is a lot of JD stuff around. Guess I should have a Cub as a guest in the shrine!

Ralph in ky.
I know that I was hoping to post an updated list shortly, but it took me a lot longer than I expected. A lot longer....
As I was looking through my jpegs, I immediately spotted the main one that I was missing. That would be # 235 which is now #1 on my gotta acquire priority list. It ain't happenin before Christmas, so I am going to have to wait.
Larry, I had paid for a Cub with the short stripe way back in April. We still have yet to see it. So when I found another one for $13.99 and got it, I told the seller that I wanted it shipped a particular way, as the previous one got shipped the way he wanted it to go and we never received it. So, he tried to find a way to ship it cost effectively. We chatted back and forth for about a two week period as he tried to figure out his way through the USPS maze.
We finally we able to find a way that was acceptable to both him and I, and it went out in the mail. I was told not to pay a cent until it got here, so that I didn't risk another $40.00 loss. After another 2 week wait for a package that should have arrived in 4 days... I tried to pay for it, and thank him at least for trying. Instead I found feedback left and a huge surprise. I could not pay for the item as it was already marked paid and really top notch feed back left.
2 days later the Cub showed up... I still am amazed by it all.
Now, if your other Cub is # 235... let me know and I will go pay for it today... please.... If you have an extra FoxFire, let me know an I will acquire that one as well.
As for the Chromed version.. I guess I may be waiting a very long time to find that one.. but along with the FoxFire version, I think that is like a specialty extra.
I knew Ralph had the complete set, and Ralph, thanks for the great single shots. There were a couple I was missing for the next little project. I am going to use all of those singles for the project if it is okay with you. Let me know what you think when posted ok?
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Thats awesome pics Ralph!!! They look great.
Collecting is fun but there are so many things to collect. I just started with tractors, I have a few tractor signs and tractor toys plus christmas lights too "IH" and M farmall lights of course plus "IH" & M Farmall ornaments too. After christmas i'm being evicted by the misses all my tractor stuff is going in the basement. I'm now thinking of remodeling my down stairs room into my tractor room. One wall with signs of all makes of tractors and tractor lights all over the place too. A little farm history thats what made this country so great.....
I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.
When I saw that chromed one on eBay I was mighty impressed... and slightly tempted. I sure am glad it went to a wonderful home! That is a cool collection Ralph and I am really happy to hear it was you that got it.
I was thrown for a bit by the second square hood red one, but with the full picture I recognized it to be the RPRU special.
Thanks for the pictures.

CNHI News Service
— The Mankato Free Press / Mankato, Minn.
From the coffee shops to the pubs, Americans are frustrated their duly elected leaders can't figure out how to operate our government in a reasonable way.
It may be no panacea for those folks, but it's worth discussing how we let it get this far out of hand, out of control.
American democracy and its practice have changed a lot since the last government shutdown about two decades ago.
Political parties have become more susceptible to special interests, making it all the more difficult for citizens to have even an equal say. Money flows more easily into campaigns and individuals or small groups can now influence an election where once it required a large amount of people making small contributions.
Part of that influence has even driven court decisions in certain states that influence where congressional boundary lines are drawn. Critics argue the intransigence of the GOP House tea party movement is bolstered by more and more of these representatives coming from districts that are so dominated by one brand of political thought, the representatives have no worries about re-elections, sometimes for decades.
This kind of concentration of power without accountability also derails the old time power of political party leaders. One only needs to witness how little control Speaker John Boehner has over his tea party caucus to see how this has shifted the power of political party leaders, once key players in Washington. Often decried, these political leaders were sometimes necessary evils. They were key players because they knew how to work with the other side to get things for their members. Maybe it was a road project in their district, or a desirable committee assignment.
Those kind of power centers seem to be fading away quickly. The tools for some of that power wielding also have gone away, some say for the better. There are no more "earmarks." While that kind of backdoor dealing was widely criticized, it often served a useful purpose for party leaders. We'll bet Boehner wishes he had the power of earmarks today.
The changing media landscape plays another central role in this eroding of citizen democracy. The number of news reporters whose job it once was to serve as watchdogs for taxpayers and the public has been depleted by 50 percent in some news organizations over the last five years or so.
There's just a lot more room for political shenanigans to go undetected. And the media that remains — mostly broadcast and national — is aimed at building up the "conflict industry" – overstating or even creating conflict in every story to generate ratings.
And Americans must understand that in the end, they also contribute to this mess by their apathy. The current status quo in Congress shouldn't be tolerated. There should be massive rallies calling for the ouster of those who would subvert our representative democracy into a road-kill republic, where only the vultures win.
But it isn't easy for the average citizen. They're busy trying to keep afloat in an economy that has offered more work for less pay. It's time consuming to be informed and more so to act on that information.
But unfortunately, becoming informed and active is our best option. Other strategies have so far offered very little success or progress. One commentator urged action by citizens to "scare the hell" out of these people in Washington. That can't come too soon.
Maybe that's what World War II vets were thinking when they knocked down the shutdown barricades at the World War II memorial in Washington Tuesday. They were "mad as hell and not going to take it anymore."
We hope this shutdown makes clear to political leaders what's at stake. It may be more than just the next election.

Hostel Dolce Vita'e yol tarifleri
Harita ve Yol Tarifleri
Our address is 'Calle Azhuma' number 30.
When you arrive to Granada, get to 'Acera del Darro', which is a common bus stop if you come by train, bus or from the airport.
From the train station you can take the bus number 1, 9, 11 or 21. From the bus station you can take the bus 3 or 33. From the airport, take the Autocares Jos� Gonz�lez bus to 'Granada Centro'.
Get off at 'Acera del Darro' bus stop after passing by a big department store on your left called 'El Corte Ingles' (you will see the name in a big, green sign) and you'll be just five minutes walk away from the hostel.
Look for a street called 'Calle Nueva de la Virgen' (it's just in front of the Hotel Dauro) on the same sidewalk where you get off the bus, and walk it until you arrive at 'Calle San Anton', and turn right at the end of it. Then, turn left onto 'Calle Alhamar' until you find 'Calle Mulhacen' on the left, take it and turn right on 'Calle Azhuma'.
Here's a map from 'Acera del Darro' to the hostel: http://g.co/maps/4htva

Professor Kent Glenzer: Practical Lessons from the Trenches of Social Change
October 3, 2012
"One of the things I love most about MIIS students is their extreme hunger for practical advice," says Kent Glenzer, associate professor of organizational behavior and development. Despite impressive academic credentials such as a Ph.D. and an Ivy League degree, until he got the call from the Monterey Institute last year, Kent had not seen himself as an academic.
A self-described "organizational geek," Kent has spent the last 23 years "working in the trenches of social change" for organizations such as the Peace Corps, PATH, CARE and Oxfam America. He is continually fascinated by the inner workings of organizations in the business of doing good—of promoting social change. He knows firsthand all about the business of running a non-profit organization in developing countries, measuring impact and facilitating organizational decision processes.
As a restless 19-year-old journalism major at Northwestern University, Kent decided to take a year off and do some traveling. He visited Carl Petry, a favorite professor and specialist in Middle Eastern history who was in Egypt for a sabbatical. "There was something about it, I just knew that I wanted to be there," says Kent of his month in Egypt, using the word "there" to mean developing countries, Africa and Islamic culture.
Kent is really a "jack-of-all-trades" in his field, with extensive experience working on different strategic levels of development organizations in 21 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. He is not your typical university professor, but he is the ideal match for the Monterey Institute and its "goal-oriented and proactive students," eager to absorb as much practical advice as they can before heading off to discover their own trenches. Today, he teaches classes in both the Master of Public Administration and International MBA programs.
Watch Kent tell a short story about a memorable experience serving in the Peace Corps in Mali.

Finding Kent and Kathy
Just rediscovered where Kent (and Kathy) is after working with him back in the war time emergency program in Mozambique way back in 1987 to 1992!). In what was sometimes quite a politically charged programming environment Kent was the fairest person I knew on the 55 person programming team. Too little emphasis is placed on the 'morale makers' in organizations. Kent was a morale maker and this made a huge difference for us up in the war zones where sustained morale helped us make better decisions that saved more lives. Monteray School has gained a great asset in Kent and the woman that supports him!

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. —
A Connecticut man who had sought shelter inside a trash bin died of suffocation after being trapped in a garbage collection truck that emptied the bin he and his girlfriend were inside.
Franschon Barr, 46, died of compression asphyxia, Vigo County Coroner Dr. Susan Amos said.
An autopsy showed that at some point as Barr's body entered the truck, he sustained a head injury that likely rendered him unconscious, Amos said. She added that Barr was probably not aware of being suffocated.
A woman also dumped inside the truck sustained serious injuries and was airlifted to an Indianapolis area hospital for treatment. Her name was not released.
Terre Haute Police Chief John Plasse said police and fire crews responded just after 6 a.m. Thursday to a hotel on a report of people trapped inside the garbage truck's cargo area.
"When the truck driver reached the [scene], to access the Dumpsters there is a gate he must open," Plasse said, "so when he got out of the truck, he heard the female yelling. He realized she was inside the truck and he called 911."
Emergency crews reached her through the top of the truck, Plasse said.
Police learned that Barr and the woman had taken shelter from the rain inside a trash bin, and that they were sleeping in the bin when it was emptied.
The truck had made two or three other collection stops after that before the driver heard the woman yelling.
"In talking with the driver, we found out that people sleeping in Dumpsters is more common than you'd think," Plasse said.
He said it was sad that sleeping in the Dumpster was the couple's best option.
Lighthouse Mission CEO Tim Fagg said that the man stayed at the homeless mission on April 3, but then voluntarily left after 24 hours.
"It's just a shame," Fagg said. "He was a pretty talented young man. He was trained in culinary arts."
Details for this story were provided by The Tribune Star in Terre Haute, Ind.

The state Department of Correction has identified the inmate who died in an apparent suicide yesterday at Osborn Correctional Institution in Somers. Edwardo Velasquez, 48, of Bridgeport, was serving a 43-month sentence for possession of less than four ounces of marijuana or a controlled substance and other offenses, the department said today in a news release.
Correctional staff discovered Velasquez while conducting a routine tour at about 3 a.m., officials said. Velasquez was found in his cell with a piece of bed sheet tied around his neck and attached to the window bars of his cell, the release said. He was the only inmate in his cell at the time, according to officials.
Medical and correctional staff took life saving measures immediately, and Velasquez was taken to Johnson Memorial Hospital in Stafford Springs where he was pronounced dead at 4 a.m.
The state Medical Examiner's Office will determine the manner and cause of death, and an investigation by the Department of Correction Security Division and the state police will continue.

The American Civil Liberties Union called on the Justice Department on Thursday to investigate the efforts by the New York City Police Department to conduct surveillance in Muslim communities.
In a letter signed by 125 state and national organizations, the ACLU and the other groups said the Justice Department's civil rights division to open a probe into the "unlawful religious profiling and suspicionless surveillance of Muslims in New York City and beyond."
"Putting a class of Americans under surveillance based on their religion is a clear violation of our Constitution's guarantees of equality and religious freedom," said Hina Shamsi, director of the ACLU National Security Project. "The NYPD's surveillance program has stigmatized Muslims as suspect and had deeply negative effects on their free speech, association and religious practice."
Citing NYPD documents and an investigative series of articles on the NYPD's secret intelligence operations by the Associated Press, the ACLU said that the New York police have sent paid infiltrators into mosques, student associations and other locations to take photos, write down license-plate numbers and keep notes on people because they are Muslim.
The ACLU also said NYPD officers and informants have "built a program dedicated to suspicionless blanket surveillance of Muslims in the greater New York City area," routinely monitoring restaurants, bookstores and mosques.
Justice Department spokeswoman Dena Iverson said she could not comment on the letter because she had not seen it yet. A police spokesman said the department could not provide an immediate comment.
The ACLU letter was signed by a wide array of religious, racial justice, civil rights and community based organizations, including the NAACP, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, and the National Network for Arab American Communities.
"In America, law enforcement should never turn anyone's First Amendment-protected religious beliefs into cause for suspicion, and yet evidence shows that's exactly what the New York Police Department is doing to Muslim New Yorkers," said the Rev. C. Welton Gaddy, president of the Interfaith Alliance and a pastor at the Baptist Northminster Church in Monroe, La.
"The fact that people of faith might have to fear going to their houses of worship or freely practicing their religion is about as un-American as un-American gets," Gaddy said.

Growing up with an older brother like Sean was really a very special gift. Seven years of wisdom separated us. When I was still interested in Barbie and Ken, Sean had long been interested in music. Indeed, you could hardly escape him and his body-popping, breakdancing dance moves on the living room space any time there was company around.

Hartford (AP) — A rally is planned at the state Capitol to oppose Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's proposed budget, which eliminates state health insurance coverage for certain needy parents.
The governor has suggested ending coverage for adults who use the state's HUSKY A insurance program if their income exceeds 133 percent of the federal poverty level. The change would take effect on Jan. 1. That's when federal subsidies would become available, enabling the parents to purchase insurance from the new health care exchange.
The move is projected to save the state $5.9 million in the first year of the two-year, budget, and $59.5 million in the second.
Advocates for the poor oppose the move, concerned it will prove to be too costly for an estimated 37,500 adults. A morning rally is planned Wednesday.
