Last night I had the chance to catch up on some old episode's of Charlie Rose including a discussion from the end of March concerning the Supreme Court and Same-sex marriage. The discussion is incredibly informative about the legal arguments of the two cases (specifically concerning the validity of federalism and equal protection arguments).
Although the episode is worth watching, this closing comment by Andrew Sullivan blew me away and just had to share it:
"The freedom to marry is based in the Declaration of Independence. I don't think any heterosexual, for example, has ever believed they had the right to the pursuit of happiness if that did not include the right to marry the person they love. So in the end, it's the deepest question of all: Are we gay people, as Americans, allowed to pursue happiness? And if that right to happiness does not involve marrying the person we love, then what does it really mean?"
My friend Ali told me to watch the above interview with Ben Horowitz and, specifically, this section about courage. This 3 minute section (Youtube link with timestamp) has some absolute gems that I think every entrepreneur can learn from.
Here's the abbreviated text. Emphasis is mine…
In our pitch meetings, we spend the first 30 minutes not going through the pitch but talking about the founder and their background and understanding why they made decisions. And a lot of courage is […] "what do you believe that nobody else does"? Do you have the courage to even say that?
[As an example], an entrepreneur came into us once, his name was Christian Gheorghe, and we said "tell us about your background". He says "I used to be the CTO of a company called OutlookSoft which sold to SAP…" and I was like "no no no, where did you grow up?". He says "Well, I grew up in Romania in the 80s and then in 1989, in order to escape the communist regime, I swam across the Danube" and I said "We're going to invest in your company!".
Aristotle said that courage is the first virtue. And the reason he said that, and it's really important in leadership, is that people can have virtues in certain situations. But that's not the question, the question is: if it's going to cost you your company, do you have your integrity? If it's going to cost you your job, are you honest? If it's going to completely embarrass you in front of everybody, do you have it then?
And the only way you have it then is if you have courage. Courage ends up being the foundation of what you need as an entrepreneur.
I always say you need two things as an entrepreneur: great intelligence and great courage. And I always found as an entrepreneur that my courage was tested far more than my intelligence.
By its peak in the 1990s, the 6.5 acre Kowloon Walled City was home to at least 33,000 people (with estimates of up to 50,000). That's a population density of at least 3.2 million per square mile. For New York City to get that dense, every man, woman, and child living in Texas would have to move to Manhattan.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (10/28/13) -WKU received the "Growing by Leaps and Bounds" Hometown Hero Award from the Tennessee Valley Blood Services Region of the American Red Cross.
Tennessee Valley Blood Services Region works with thousands of volunteers to help save lives and selects a handful of local volunteers to be honored as "Hometown Heroes." Winners were honored with a luncheon and awards ceremony earlier this month.
In one year, WKU increased its collection by nearly 200 units of life-saving blood. Their outstanding contributions helped them beat MTSU in a competition to raise the most blood donations.
At their last blood drive, the WKU team helped the Red Cross collect more than 600 units of blood. Their passion to help the community and unite the Hilltoppers for a good cause has helped save thousands of lives.
"The WKU Team works hard on their drives every year and constantly create new marketing strategies to get the best turnout at their blood drives," said Red Cross Representative Brittany Durham. "This year, they agreed to host a large fall blood drive, despite the fact they will not be competing with MTSU. They are holding this drive because they care about local patients who rely on these donations to survive every day."
The Tennessee Valley Blood Services Region provides lifesaving blood products to 58 local hospitals and needs about 600 donors every day to give blood products in order to supply the local demand.
WKU blood drive starts Oct. 28: WKU's 2013 Fall Blood Drive — Save A Life, Starve a Vampire — will be held from noon to 6 p.m. Oct. 28, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Oct. 29 and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Oct. 30 at the Preston Health and Activities Center. To schedule an appointment, go to http://www.redcrossblood.org/WKU.

Help available for anxiety, depression
Last Updated: 18:22 February 5, 2013
Experts offer work-related stress advice
Classes offeredOutpatient treatment program classes at Boulder Community Hospital's Mapleton Counseling Center, 311 Mapleton Ave., second floor:
• Dialectical-behavior therapy class meets from 9 a.m. to noon on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Included are learning skills of mindfulness, interpersonal relations, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
• Recovery therapy class meets from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for people struggling with addiction.�Included are coping strategies that support growth and independence, help people understand triggers and cravings that lead to relapse and support people in breaking the chain of addiction.
• Turning point class meets from 1 to 4 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The group therapy program is for people struggling with depression, mood swings, anxiety and relational problems. People who are depressed tend to isolate themselves, and having more structure and support in life can support improved mood and overall functioning.
More information on counseling or outpatient treatment program classes is online at www.bch.org/behavioral-health.
You're not alone.
Longer hours and increased job uncertainty brought on by the national recession are among the factors that have created more stress at work.
Anxiety and depression are two of the most common psychiatric diagnoses at Boulder Community Hospital, according to Rich Sheehan, a hospital spokesman
Across the state, some 21 percent of callers to a help line at Mental Health America of Colorado in Denver have lost their jobs, according to Laura Cordes, a spokeswoman.
Nationally, untreated mental health conditions — including anxiety and depression — are a top driver of health-care costs, according to the American Journal of Psychiatry, although there are no specific statistics about how many of those come from the workplace. In fact, the economic cost of such conditions is estimated at almost $2 billion in lost earnings and productivity, according to the trade journal.
The numbers of people seeking treatment locally and across the state have remained steady for the past few years, possibly because of the poor economy, according to figures at Boulder Community Hospital and at Mental Health America of Colorado.
In response, therapists such as Julie Klingel at Boulder Community Hospital have anxiety and stress-reducing tips at the ready. Klingel is a marriage and family therapist who helps patients who may have just gotten out of an in-patient treatment or who are trying to avoid hospitalization.
Klingel's top tips?
• Pay attention to factors that reduce your vulnerability to mental-health symptoms, she said. Focus on getting enough sleep, eating healthy meals and exercising. Stay away from alcohol and substances as much as possible, she said.
• Focus on your five senses at work and find things that help soothe you. For Klingel, that means adding beauty to her work environment: hanging pictures on the wall that are inspiring, hanging Christmas lights or buying flowers. She suggests giving yourself a one-minute hand massage with a scented lotion or walking outside for a few minutes at lunch.
• Participate in the mood you want to have in your office. Say good morning to people and smile, Klingel said. You can also practice "giving grace" to your co-workers, she said, telling of a co-worker who drops Hershey's kisses on her desk once in a while. Forgive co-workers for perceived slights, she said, even if you think it's unmerited.
• Practice the "two-minute rule" to lower the number of tasks that pile up during the day. If you can deal with a small task quickly at work, do it now. Little things piling up can cause stress, Klingel said. As a general rule of thumb, if the task will take two minutes or less, do it right away.
• Ask for help when you need it. A trusted co-worker, friend or family member can be a great sounding board for work problems, Klingel said. Don't gossip with others in your workplace, she said, as that often can make a less-than-great situation worse.
• Try to see humor in work situations. Bring in a daily calendar with a joke a day that can lift your mood, Klingel said.
• Practice "mindfulness." Many workers these days have taken self-help classes that teach them to take deep breaths to reduce stress, Klingel said. Leave your desk for a few minutes and consciously think about the big picture to help put things in perspective, she said. Workers in the region who need more intensive help can sign up for three-hour group therapy classes offered by Boulder Community Hospital. People of all age groups and all walks of life — from a college student in her first year on the job to more experienced workers anxious about possible company layoffs — are involved in such groups, she said. "Sometimes other people's struggles put things in perspective."
Boulder Community Hospital also offers individual counseling services for people who are interested in seeing a therapist to address issues related to anxiety and depression, or any other issues.

Police: No charges for Zimmerman, wife after fight
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Police say no charges will be filed against George Zimmerman or his estranged wife after their domestic dispute in September.
Lake Mary Police said in a report released this week that there was not enough evidence to file any charges. Police were waiting to see if images from an iPad could shed more light on the fight, but it was examined by a Secret Service agent who determined it was too badly damaged to get any information from it.
The dispute took place just days after Shellie Zimmerman filed divorce papers as she was removing belongings from the couple's home.
She said in court papers she separated from her husband in August, a month after he was acquitted in the 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

Hi guys,
Last weekend technical divers and volunteers back to the Infidel wreck around Catalina Island USA to remove ghost nets. Their team goal is to remove all the nets spread on and around the boat.
And do you know which tool they use to cut the net?
Atlantic Salt
For those who don't know this Spyderco:
Another proof that SpyderEdge are the best way to cut rope or fiber material. SpyderEge power!
I have a question for the Spyderco crew.
This diving team is sponsorized by some brand like EezyCut, Halcyon or Scubapro and we can see this equipment used during the operation across the media like this picture.
Is Spyderco is a sponsor or the diver use the Atlantic on its own initiative?
They also use EezyCut, an incredible efficient diving cutting tool:
More information about the "Ghost Fishing":
Ghost fishing is a term that describes what happens when derelict fishing gear continues to fish
Derelict fishing gear, sometimes referred to as ghost gear or ghost nets is any discarded, lost, or abandoned, fishing gear in the environment. This gear continues to fish and trap animals, entangle and potentially kill marine life, smother habitat, and act as a hazard to navigation. Derelict fishing gear, such as nets or traps and pods, is one of the main types of debris impacting the marine environment today.
And do you know which tool they use to cut the net?

With flu season beginning earlier than it has in more than a decade, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is warning that this season could be a bad one.
While more than a third of Americans have been vaccinated, Dec. 2 through Dec. 8 is National Influenza Vaccination week and the CDC encouraged everyone older than six months to get vaccinated.
According to the CDC, certain groups are at a higher risk for infection and vaccination is especially important to prevent complications.
- Pregnant women
- Children younger than 5, but especially children younger than 2 years old
- People 65 years of age and older
- People of any age with certain chronic medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease)
Southern states have seen an increase in cases this flu season, causing doctors to encourage everyone to get vaccinated before flu season peaks in mid-winter.
Flu symptoms can include fever, fatigue, cough head and body aches, runny nose, vomiting and diarrhea.
Information for this story was provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Associated Press.

Hi everyone,
I'm facing something of a moral dilemma and I wanted your thoughts on it.
I am about to purchase a Mac Mini and I will be using it for primarily an always-on file and print server although I will probably be using it day to day too so I can learn about the Mac OS X interface. Part of this day to day use will involve music files and I would like to use iTunes to rip CD's that I own and also to purchase music from the iTMS.
My question is this: where would I legally stand if I used something like Hymn to remove the copy protection that is found on tracks purchased from iTMS? The files produced would be for my own personal use on three computers all located within my household.
Ideally, I don't want to have to use iTunes or iTMS but to get access to a decent music catalogue I feel that I need to use DRM enabled software. This kind of flies in the face of Open Source that I have tried to adopt in it's fullest sense. What are other peoples thoughts on this, and the rise in digital music that is unusable under GNU/Linux?

You'd probably be liable to prosecution. In this case the offence is circumventing the copy protection. The same is true with encrypted DVD content. It's like breaking the lock on someone's house. You could argue that your CD & DVD players circumvent the copy protection in order to render the content for humans, but I wouldn't bet on it. And if it came to it, could you bear the financial cost of any legal action?

It could be DVD Jon all over again. He got off in the end. All he did was write a bit of code so that you could play DVDs under Linux, let's face it it's dead easy to rip DVDs under Windoze and nobody's prosecuted anyone for distributing that. It was just that DVD Jon's code showed how simple it was and embarrassed the industry.
My view is buy your music on CD and rip it for your personal. They charge too much for downloads and the quality isn't as good.

Legally you'd be screwed.
Morally? It's yours to do whatever the hell you want with! I make backup copies of all DVD's and CD's I purchase. As everyone knows DVD/CD disks are very easily damaged and rendered useless.
The RIAA can sue me all the want. After all I don't have anything of real value to them, the pc I'm typing this on and a guitar, the two most valuable items I own and id be lucky to get £300 for both of em'
Plus, I wouldn't mind the chance to voice my opinions to the media while they are busy suing me.
Besides, the vast majority of music I listen to is from the 70's-80's-early 90's its not like the big record labels are making millions of those era's any more?!
They can stick their DRM low quality crap right up their fudge tunnels I'm sticking with CD's and MP3's.
As for p2p, well, all I can say is if I had to pay for all the music I own I would be bankrupt!
At the end of the day, if I had to, I wouldn't pay for most of the music I own. So they didn't really 'lose' any revenue there. If I couldn't get it on p2p I wouldn't bother buying it. Not that the RIAA will see the logic in that.
F**k em'
Do whatever you want, if you are worried about legal implications just don't let them find out

Would it be possible to use iTunes on the other PCs (Windows version or via CrossOver) as well? I have 'illegally' downloaded some music, but these were tracks from vinyl LPs that I own so I figure I have a 'license' to listen to those records even though I don't have a record player. I have also occasionally copied CDs from friends and family, but if I listen to it a few times, I tend to buy it anyway - plus the CD player in my car doesn't like CD-Rs.
iTunes is a well put together system, but it's still cheaper to buy CDs from somewhere like CD-Wow (£8.99 for a single CD versus about £9.99 from ITMS) and rip it to the Mac Mini (lovely computer, by the way). That way you can stick all your music into a Samba shared folder and then mount that from whatever PC you like.

Hi Andy,
A few questions about the Mac Mini - are you running OS X by itself, or are you dual-booting with Linux (In which case, which Distro are you using?). Which Mac Mini would you recommend?
Being a Mac virgin, I don't totally understand the link between OS X and it's Unix parent - can I easily get Samba working on the Mac Mini, or would I have to go down the PPC Linux route?
Being a Fedora nut, I'm interested in looking at YDL but are there many benefits over a stock Fedora, given that YDL is a FC derivative.
<sigh> it's like starting over!

On a similar issue, has anyone a domestic hifi system that includes a DVD that won't play copy-protected audio CDs? The little tricks these people employ to stop them playing on computers are useless! Grip/CDparanoia/Konqueror etc just rips them! KsCD and cdcd just play them. Even in Windoze, anyone with Nero can use multimounter to find the "other" Table of Contents!
So you get
to make illegal copies of Audio CDs just so you can play them on your domestic hi-fi!
How that's going to stop piracy I don't know.

The links below are the "Were about to get screwed, in the process of being screwed, oouch well shafted!".
Germany becomes the fifth country to implement EUCD
15 July 2003 6:07 by dRD
[picture]Friday, 11th of July, was truly a sad day for Europe, free speech and fair use rights. The largest European Union member country, Germany, passed its own implementation of draconian DMCA-like law called as European Union Copyright Directive.
The law, that is now in effect in five member states (Germany, Austria, Greece, Denmark and Italy) makes it illegal to distribute (even for free), sell, manufacture, develope or advertise tools or software utilities that allow circumventing copy protections. This applies to all copy protection mechanisms, including cracking the CSS that's found on most DVD-Video discs, circumventing audio CD copy protections, etc.
German implementation of the law went even further than what the EUCD itself required -- German version of the EUCD implementation makes it illegal to even discuss about circumventing copy protections in public (as on Net pages).
The chilling effects of the German law can already be seen here and there -- most obvious is the fate of the Linux DVD ripper, dvd::rip. The new versions of the software don't include settings for cracking the CSS code at all as the software is being hosted and developed in Germany.
Rest of the Europe should follow the suit within next couple of months -- United Kingdom has already published its draft of its own implementation and other member states are preparing (or have done so already) to do so very shortly.
YET AGAIN, those who are put in power as _our voice_ using our tax payers money, use that money to keep themselves in power, and are using our money to do whatever companies who's extorionate profits are made from our money, to shaft us, AGAIN!
If I didn't pay any attention to politics at all, then I probably wouln't be so cynical at a young age, they wonder why there's so much apathy. Its a deffence mechanism so you don't find yourself thinking "what a load of bollox a democratic capitalist society we live in", you just ignore it and get on with making the best life possible and hopefully enjoying most of it. As soon as you start looking into any aspect of western life, you see money corrupting everything. Of course most of us are very lucky to have this way of life compared to a lot of people, and yes I'm well off down a deep ranting road, but damn it, a lot of top business and politicions appear to
a. not have a clue
b. not give a shit
c. be lying manipulative TWATS
Its a big brush and Im tarring a boat load of people with a not very linux related rant, but it does make you feel tired.
I think Im off to buy a shack in Nepal..... just as long as they've got broadband

I just picked up a basic Mac Mini with the intention of upgrading the memory when I have the cash spare (in about 2022, I think). I dual-boot with OS-X and Ubuntu PPC and it's okay. OS-X on it's own handles Samba really well, you just go into the control centre (or whatever they call) it and select 'Sharing > Windows Sharing' From there it joined the 'Workgroup' (sensibly called "Workgroup") and the permissions setting is just the same as in Linux really.
It's also possible, if you don't want to partition the disk (and if you do, do it before you start installing OS-X applications - the partition manager WON'T resize partitions, it just wipes them) you could always try QEMU and use a x86 distribution. There's a nice OS-X version called, I think, XQEMU.
There's a bit about using the Mac Mini with Linux in the next issue of the magazine...

Post subject: RE: Music - Moral Dilemma (OT?)
Where does the idea come from that it's illegal to circumvent copy protection or DRM? I didn't think it was illegal (yet) - at least in the UK.
Personally, I would try to stay away from copy-protected stuff on principle, but I have no qualms about circumventing Macrovision (for example) on ntl's pay-per-view in order to record films, since I'm already paying for the cable TV service. I imagine that doing so is perfectly legal for the same reasons as using a VCR to record TV is perfectly legal.
(For the curious: TV tuner cards seem to be impervious to Macrovision.

Post subject: RE: Music - Moral Dilemma (OT?)
I would say that, at a push, most of the things people have advocated on here - recording CDs to put in the car, downloading copies of pre-owned music, bypassing DRM to put iTMS stuff on non-Apple players - could all be defended on fair use grounds. The problem is that Apple, Sony, et al can afford better lawyers than most individuals.
I've even heard someone say that making backups of *rented* DVDs is allowable under the 'time shift' element of fair use, but I wouldn't like to test this. However, I have a small dilemma: I have a legitimate version of a BBC DVD (it's my daughter's favourite), but someone sat on it and cracked disc 1. This disc on my rental list with a well-known DVD rental site. Am I allowed to copy the rental version in order to replace the already paid for disc? In essence, this is a question about whether I own a physical disc or a license to access the content. If it's the latter (as I would assume) then I'm legally safe?

According to the MPAA and cronies, what you have bought is the physical media and a license to access the content on it, and nothing else. The content is inseperable from the media.
Except, of course, they also restrict you as to what hardware/software you can use when accessing it.
Which, quite frankly, sucks.
But it is their product, and they have the right to license it as they wish. You don't have to buy it...
I wonder what the reaction would be to a mass protest - would it cause them to rethink if everybody refused to buy any CD or DVD on a particular day, world-wide ?
Hope this helps,

Aerosmith Releases Official Trailer For Upcoming Album
Tuesday, August 28, 2012
Aerosmith has released an official trailer for its upcoming album, Music From Another Dimension, according to HenneMusic. The band's 15th studio effort is due out on November 6th and is its first collection of all-new material since 2001's Just Push Play and their first studio release since 2004's covers collection, Honkin' On Bobo. Aerosmith recorded the new album with producer Jack Douglas, who worked on such band classics 1974's Get Your Wings, 1975's Toys In The Attic, and 1976's Rocks.
The group just released a new track from the disc, called "Lover A Lot," which can be heard at http://tinyurl.com/8gfwh2f.
We asked Steven Tyler how a band like Aerosmith -- which has lasted 40 years in the spotlight -- can hope to revitalize itself every time out: "Maybe in the new songs. In writing new songs, you always come up with a new you. I think you should. You can always do another 'Dude Looks Like A Lady,' another 'Dream On' -- we always tap into something new."
Aerosmith will next perform on September 22nd at the iHeartRadio Music Festival at Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena.

1980 Crompond Road, Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567
Cortlandt Manor, NY - (November 29, 2011) – Hudson Valley Hospital Center's program for hospitalized older adults has been recognized by the prestigious Advance for Nurses Magazine.
The national nursing publication recently published an article on the Hospital's initiative to improve the health of older adults who are admitted at Hudson Valley Hospital Center.
The Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing at New York University College of Nursing designated Hudson Valley Hospital Center as one of the country's 300 NICHE hospitals. NICHE or Nursing Improving Care for Healthsystem Elders is the only national geriatric initiative to improve care of older hospitalized adults.
To receive the designation the Hospital had to develop a program that treats older people with compassion, keeps their health from deteriorating and works with their families to prepare patients for leaving the hospital. The Hospital's NICHE team also had to participate in a six-week leadership training program and develop a robust action plan to incorporate improved geriatric care throughout the hospital. HVHC is the only NICHE designated hospital in Westchester/Putnam. It is also the only Magnet Nursing facility in the region.
Suzanne Mateo, chair of HVHC's NICHE team, said that the team was honored at being chosen to appear on the cover of the November 21 edition of Advance for Nursing Magazine, a trade publication that is widely read by the nursing profession in the Northeast.
"We made a commitment as part of our Magnet designation to elevate our practice,'' said Mateo, Ma, BSN, RN, Administrative Director of Nursing at HVHC. "Ninety-five percent of these people who we are working with are old, old – and that means 85 and older. Many of them are very vibrant and robust and we want to make sure that when they leave here they can continue to enjoy their lives.''
People over 65 are the fastest growing age group in the nation, making up 12.9 percent of the population or about 1 in 8 people in the United States. By 2030, estimates are that there will be about 72.1 million older adults, according to U.S. Census data.
Some of the challenges that face nursing staff caring for older adults include making sure that patients receive mental stimulation and exercise to prevent their deterioration and working to reduce stress and anxiety during their hospital stay. The NICHE network offers Hospital staff training and shares best practices that can help them better care for older adults.
Other NICHE designated hospitals in New York are Mount Sinai Medical Center, New York University Medical Center, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and the Rusk Institute for Rehabilitation.

Two figures shaking hands dominate Kentucky's blue- and gold-colored flag – a statesman and a pioneer, popularly, but not officially, thought to be Henry Clay and Daniel Boone.
How odd, then, that the Kentucky High School Athletic Association has advised educators to rethink the long-standing tradition of teams shaking hands after athletic events. Is sportsmanship dead in the Bluegrass State?
No, but a serious discussion and examination about the post-game ritual is playing out from Paducah to Paintsville. Maybe the topic should be expanded to schools across the country.
A brouhaha erupted when a poorly drafted press release had fans across the state – as well as the nation – outraged that Kentucky's prep athletic association was either prohibiting or banning players from shaking hands, fist bumping or high-fiving after games. Not so fast. The association simply was trying to say that if handshake lines are part of post-game activities, they were to be supervised by school officials. If that's not practical or possible, dispense with the exercise, the KHSAA said. Furthermore, game officials would no longer supervise players once the contest is over.
KHSAA Commissioner Julian Tackett warned officials that if further post-game flare-ups continued, participating schools could be sanctioned or fined.
Good for Tackett. He identified a growing problem and tackled it. That's what effective administrators do.
Violence at high school sporting contests is becoming, if not more prevalent, certainly more acknowledged.
The post-game brawl between two football coaches in Alabama became nationwide news this fall when the fisticuffs were shown on TV and replayed on various websites. It was potentially much worse in Indiana when coaches from Indianapolis Tech and Fort Wayne South started fighting and soon players and a few fans joined in.
Perhaps worst of all, a small army of police officers in Wisconsin – about 27 -- was needed to restore calm after a post-game battle ensued in the handshake line between players from Madison West and Madison Memorial. A "handful" of players received two-game suspensions, officials said.

'53 Super C Advice
Farmall C & Super C Tractors, 1948-1954

'53 Super C Advice
Hello Farmall world! I am a complete newbie to Farmall tractors, and mostly tractors and engines and anything mechanical whatsoever. My wife inhereted two Farmall tractors a few years back, both of which have sat for atleast 8 years. Here's the back story...
The thought is one of them was put up running in 2004, and I do not know which one it was. I would like to focus my attention on that one, if I could figure out which one it was. Word on the street is that it was "the one on the right." This one, which appears to be a Super C (only positive identification so far is the hood emblem) will not turn over when hand cranked, and the gas tank was bone dry. It also seems to be missing a cover on a transmission(?) access hole below the gas tank area which has allowed rats to make a nest out of the seat cushion in there. This one is also missing the serial number plate. I learned of the casting dates after my last visit to that tractor (50 miles away). I moved on to the other tractor.
This one is a C according to the hood emblem. (These hoods are so easily interchangable, I hate to go strictly off of that.) This one does have a serial number.
According to http://www.tmtractor.com/id/id_002.htm, it would be a '48. I haven't seen that model 'FC-' anywhere else on the WWWinterwebnet, so one question would be is does that mean its a model C like the hood says?
The casting dates I've found on this tractor all have an S at the end of them.
According to http://www.tmtractor.com/id/id_004.htm, it says they would have been made in December of '49. So there's my next question. '48 or '49?
This one will turn over when hand cranked, and there was still gas in the tank. This leads me to think that contrary to popular belief, "the one on the left" was working last.
I plan on ordering a manual after positive identification, which hopefully will answer alot of my questions, but any advice you guys would have on an order of diagnostics (i.e.: What would you do first? And then? And then? And THEN?) would be greatly appreciated.
So far I've drained the gas, cleaned the sediment bowl (filthy), cleaned the air cleaner (filthier), and pressure washed it (filthiest). Also, when I first hooked up a new battery (positive ground), the starter made a spinning noise (<---technical term), now it won't.
Thanks in advance! Y'all have a great forum going here!

Re: Help Identify Year/Model, advice, etc...
I just realized I posted this in the wrong forum. Any way the moderators could move it to the letter series forum?
Re: Help Identify Year/Model, advice, etc...
G'day and congrats on becoming the keeper of the family Farmalls I have already moved this to the correct forum...
Well one is definitely a C as the Serial # Tag indicates and it is an FC # 47129J which corresponds with a 1950 production year. You can confirm this here : Farmall C. 1950 was the Mid Century Campaign so check that C for white under the hood and other places. One never knows.
Unfortunately I do not have a lot of information on the Letter Series outside of the Cub, but I do have some information on the Manual Server. I do happen to have a scanned copy of the Farmall C Owner's Manual and the TC-38B Parts Catalog. Send me a pm with your email address.
Suggest though that you do follow the links below and read the info therein. There is a lot of information for our members and a lot will still apply even if you do not have any Cubs.
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Re: Help Identify Year/Model, advice, etc...
The serial plate you posted is for a 1950 Farmall C, probably in early January, since the numbers started with 47,010 on Jan 1 of 1950. C and Super C are kind of rare in this area, but if I remember correctly (happens occasionally, but not often) there should be a little more space between the top of the touch control unit and the gas tank on the SC than the C due to the engine being slightly taller.
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government

government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests." Patrick Henry
Re: Help Identify Year/Model, advice, etc...
OK, you have several questions there. Lets see if I can hit some of them.
I'll start with the tractor that has a serial plate. That plate (and presumably the tractor it is attached to) is a 1950 Farmall C. The "FC" serial prefix was used on both the C and Super C. The first number for 1950 was 47010. Your date code of 12.21.S is December 21, 1949. That is the date that raw casting was produced in the foundry. It would have been machined at a later date then used to build the tractor. If you look around some more on the tractor, you will find more parts with date codes. Some may be considerably different.
The next thing about this tractor is the paint. I can see quite a bit of white paint showing through from an earlier paint job. In 1950, International Harvester did a big demonstrator program. They painted a bunch of tractors white for use as demonstrators. They were to be repainted the standard red when they were sold. It looks like your is one of those tractors. People have different opinions as to whether a demo tractor is a big deal or not. Some guys get all hot over them strip the paint all off and repaint them white. Others could care less. My own opinion is that a demo with some or all of the ORIGINAL white paint showing is mildly interesting. Once the old white is stripped off, it is just another tractor and you can paint it any color you want. There are a LOT of bogus white demos out there.
As to what to do first/next with the tactor, you should get the Owners Manual and study it. Binder Books will have a quality reprint of the original. In the How Tos on this site is a thred on first things to do to a new Cub. The same suggestions apply and will get you a good start in things.
On the other tractor with no serial plate, does it look almost identical to the other tractor? If so it is probably either a C or Super C. Although your description made me think of some Allis Chalmers models. Post some pictures when you get a chance and we can probably ID it for sure.
Re: Help Identify Year/Model, advice, etc...
Thanks for the quick responses. I feel like Harry in Dumb and Dumber. "Samsonite! I was WAY off!"
As for the paint, there is a white undercoat. I thought it was primer. That's interesting to find that out though.
For now, I do not intend to repaint it. I'd settle for getting it operable. It's got 3 flats, so if I can get it running, the first big expense (I'm assuming, I haven't priced them.) will be new tires. Plus, I'd agree with you, Jim, that seeing the original paint showing through would be the most interesting way of it representing a demo tractor.
The other tractor (Super C emblem on hood, no serial number) at casual glance does look identical. It has a 3pt conversion on it. The one y'all identified as the 1950 C does not. I'm not sure if those came factory on certain models or if they were all aftermarket add ons.
Again, thanks for the links and info! I'm both excited and a little overwhelmed by how much I don't know. Gotta start somewhere though. It'd mean alot to me to get these running again!

Re: Help Identify Year/Model, advice, etc...
What does the J represent that you mention after the serial number?
Re: Help Identify Year/Model, advice, etc...
The 3-point hitch is an aftermarket add-on. A Super C has a few characteristics that distinguish it from a C, but you need to look closely. The C has band brakes while the Super C has disk brakes. They look different on the outside. The C brake pedals are close to straight while the Super C ones have a curve. The Super C radiator is taller, requiring a taller grill. The gas tank is raised up to correspond. Thus there is some space between the bottom of the tank and the hydraulic system. On the C, the tank is very close to the hydraulics.
There is no way to find the serial number if the plate is missing. Casting date codes and the engine number can be used to get the approximate age and possibly narrow down the range of the serial number. The engine number is stamped into a flat boss on the right side, upper front of the engine block. It is about below the number 1 spark plug. The view is partly obscured by the governor control rod.
Re: Help Identify Year/Model, advice, etc...
Thanks again for the info. I'll be headed back out to the farm tomorrow sometime. I'll look for those characteristics as well as take a few more pics.
Re: Help Identify Year/Model, advice, etc...
The J indicates it has a clutch manufactured by Rockford. No big deal but it was a way to tell the mechanics who might work on the tractor what components they would need before splitting the tractor for clutch work.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!

Re: Help Identify Year/Model, advice, etc...
The main source of your date confusion is that you were using the CUB serial number reference to look up the C's serial number. TM Tractor specializes in CUB tractors only, nothing else.
Here's my favorite reference for looking up serial numbers when dealing with non-CUB tractors:
Re: Help Identify Year/Model, advice, etc...
If there is a J on that serial number, I sure can't see it. Without a J, it started out with an Auburn clutch.
Re: Help Identify Year/Model, advice, etc...
You are right. No J....
-- what can I say.. still getting used to one working eyeball... and it waters a lot
