His teammates even hate him. Tim Tebow has become the laughing stock of the league as most people knew would happen eventually. He's a garbage QB who the Jets are now regretting trading for. He's absolutely worthless to the Jets, hell, he hurts the team.This guy won't be in the NFL much longer.I would love to hear Java's thoughts on the topic.He thinks Rex Ryan is a great coach and Tim Tebow is great, yet Rex Ryan thinks Tebow blows **CENSORED**.
the day tim tebow realizes that he isnt a QB and switches to TE will be the day he starts games in teh nfl again.
Never really liked Sanchez. Just think he's better than Freeman. I still think that. Sanchez would light it up on the Bucs given the Bucs supporting cast.
Quote from: JavaRay on November 14, 2012, 11:41:13 PMNever really liked Sanchez. Just think he's better than Freeman. I still think that. Sanchez would light it up on the Bucs given the Bucs supporting cast.No thanks...we already have a QB that is "lighting it up" with this Bucs supporting cast.
This league can't survive without Tebow.
11/15/12 Colin Cowherd: "I save my sympathies for crack babies, burn victims, wounded veterans, and hurricane survivors. Not $30 million net worth, publicity seeking backup QBs who get anonymously ripped. I don't want to pick on Tebow, because he's a great human being, right?...but let's not paint Tebow as a victim. Number one, the media always seems to find him when he is out in LA or Vegas. Lots of people go to LA and Vegas, lots of stars, they can hide. The media ALWAYS gets tipped off that Timmy Tebow is in Vegas or LA. Clooney can be there for a month, you never hear of it...cause PR people don't tip off TMZ.com. Number two, last May Tebow released a book. Wasn't he seeking readers and publicity? Number three, he Trademarked "Tebowing", and continues to do it. Number four, he chose New York as much as New York chose him. Remember Tebow claiming at the introductory press conference, "I had nothing to do with it"? The next day John Elway told a Denver radio station that Tebow was consulted all through Wednesday after an initial deal with the Jets fell through in a money dispute and Tebow's hometown Jags rejoined the trade discussions. According to Elway's description, proof that Tebow had the final choice, was the fact that the Broncos ended up settling for worse money and less draft picks from the Jets than from the new Jacksonville owner. So come on! He goes on a date with anybody, it's on TMZ.com. People in Vegas and LA have affairs for 20 years and nobody sees it. Tebow walks into town, goes to a swingset with his cute country-western star girlfriend, and it's all over newspapers. It's all over the internet. Come on. Let's not paint him as this hopeless lamb being slaaaaughterd by the media. Him just a widdle guy twying to survive. Come on. What's the old saying? I was born at night, not last night. Does everybody forget that running in the rain moment? You remember that the media in New York gathered around the practice field, it's all rainy. You remember how that worked, the slow-motion. Yea, like that wasn't planned. I like him, he's a great kid, but he's human. He knows its attention for the brand "Tebow". He chose New York, just like they chose him. He could have gone to Jacksonville. The guys got Hollywood movie hunk looks, got great DNA, a relationship with the man upstairs that I certainly don't have., $30 million in the bank, and a brand for the next 50 years that will set him and his family up for life. I'm not anti-Tebow, I'm anti-being a sucker. It's that old saying, don't pee on my boots and tell me it's raining...don't try to sell me that Tebow is a victim."

The Orlando Science Center hosted Fossil Fest 6 on Saturday, March 17 – a celebration of dinosaurs, paleontology and fossils. Guests mingled with the Florida Fossil Hunters and the Central Florida Shell Club as they shared specimens found on Florida expeditions.
Peter L. Larson, founder and president of Black Hills Institute of Geological Research, Inc. located in South Dakota, chatted with guests via Skype during a seminar on extinction theories for the K-T extinction – the one that killed the dinosaurs about 65 million years ago.
Little fossil hunters also enjoyed designing their own triceratops hats and paper dinosaur models plus making their own fossils. Guests were also submerged into prehistoric times with screenings of National Geographic's Sea Monsters on the giant screen of the Dr. Phillips CineDome.
Dr. Dare's Lab on level 4 hosted geology and paleontology experiments and a new program entitled Jr. Paleontologist was also launched, making this Fossil Fest unforgettable.

Semi-dwarf on Cunningham rootstock.
Zones: 10 (all other zones protect from freezing temperatures)
Fruit: Petite to medium sized fruit is mostly seedless, easy to peel, also great for juice. Flavor is mild with less acidity that many mandarins, spring ripening.
Facts of note: A late-maturing variety with upright, open growth habit. It is best suited to coastal and inter-coastal regions.
Add a little zest to your garden! Citrus trees are potted, evergreen, semi-dwarf, 1 ½-years-old, pencil caliper, 18"-24" tall from the bottom of the pot to the top of the tree. They will, with good care, produce fragrant, self-pollinating flowers and wonderful fruit. Height 8'–12', but can be pruned to suit in ground or in containers. Choose a sunny location, in well drained soil, sheltered from wind. They are affected by below freezing temperatures, and in many locales require cold protection. Most tender to most hardy: Bearss Lime, lemons, orange, tangelo, grapefruit, mandarin, kumquat. Non-taxable. These are evergreen trees and thus the dormant bare root guarantee does not apply. Your trees will arrive in good, viable condition. Contact us immediately if they do not.

A surgeon manages a broad spectrum of surgical conditions affecting almost any area of the body. The surgeon established the diagnosis and provides the preoperative, operative, and postoperative care to surgical patients and is usually responsible for the comprehensive management of the trauma victim and the critically ill surgical patient. The surgeon uses a variety of diagnostic techniques, including endoscopy, for observing internal structures, and may use specialized instruments during operative procedures.

Publication: theday.com
Norwich — The state has reached a purchase-and-sale agreement with a Farmington-based development firm for a portion of the Norwich Hospital property in Norwich for $300,000.
The agreement between the state and Thames River Landing LLC has been forwarded to two legislative committees for approval, the Finance Committee and the Government Administrations and Elections Committee. The committees will have 30 days to review and approve the contract, said Jeffrey Beckham, spokesman for the state Department of Administrative Services.
Mark Fields of Colchester, listed as a member of the firm, declined to comment on the purchase agreement and the company's plans for the property until the sale is final.
Thames River Landing submitted a proposal in June 2010 to Preston for the entire hospital property for a mixed commercial, residential and recreational complex that included an equestrian events center.
Norwich Mayor Peter Nystrom said he spoke recently to Fields about a different development idea, and Fields had informed him that the Norwich Hospital deal was pending.
"We welcome the addition to the grand list," Nystrom said.

text: No problem - I just expanded on the points you already made. Unfortunately, I still have no explanation for why our girls can't jump. I wonder if it's partly related to the fact that we have so many little arenas and little skating clubs everywhere? There must be a lot of talented Canadians girls out there, but maybe a lot of them are falling through the cracks because they are skating at a little local club somewhere and they're not getting the coaching and ice time, etc. that they need to develop their talent? (Nothing against coaches at small clubs, NOT AT ALL, but there is usually a point where the very talented ambitious skaters will "move on" to a bigger club with higher level coaches and more ice time, etc.) A lot of that comes down to "talent identification", which I know Skate Canada is trying to improve on, but it has to be tough when there are SO many clubs and SO many coaches involved -- how do you make sure that future Rochettes aren't falling through the cracks? Guys in figure skating tend to get noticed, at all levels, because there are so few of them. If a section wanted to monitor all the guys in their section, they could do it and make sure that nobody is falling through the cracks. With the girls, it's pretty much an impossible job because there are so many of them.

Editions Guérin has just published a novel about a company and its environment, "From the deep, the Petzl adventure."
Co-authored by Sophie Cuenot and Hervé Bodeau, this book chronicles the Petzl adventure that started almost four decades ago.
From the founders to the environment in which the company grew, from passion to products, from success to family, Petzl's story is told through eyes of the men and women who built the company.
Discover the book
Mountain history is filled with the names and exploits of those who have excelled in the vertical world. However, the tools that allowed for these amazing feats are rarely, if ever, mentioned. Yet their design and improvement over the course of this history contributed to the success of increasingly bold adventures, and to the development of a wide variety of mountain activities.
For more than forty years, Petzl and its founders have served this movement. Through its caving heritage, in which Fernand Petzl played a major role, the manufacturer has and continues to explore all facets of the mountains – rock, snow, ice, nighttime - in addition to the complex world of mountain rescue and work-at-heights. From headlamps to the Grigri belay device, by way of alpine touring bindings, harnesses or ice axes, Petzl's history represents a series of inventions that facilitate access to different types of terrain, during the day and at night. Written like a novel, this history also tells the saga of a family that started from nothing to build a world-renowned brand.

Watch the video – an interview with Paul Petzl
Little by little I have come to understand that the company's past, the path it has taken, the history of the men who came up with the idea, are not obsolete but continue to be one of Petzl's major strengths.
A word from the publisher
For Éditions Guérin, this book is a first. Telling the story of a major mountain sports brand provides the opportunity to relive 30 years of history in the vertical world through the prism of those tools that provided access. However, this is not the simple tale of technology and equipment, but the story of passionate, determined and insightful women and men. We are very pleased to have started this new editorial approach with Petzl, whose creative singularity is perfectly exemplified throughout the book.

Google Dublin (EU HQ)
Located in the heart of the historic docklands district (a.k.a. Silicon Dock), Google has helped put Dublin on the map as a technology hub in Europe, thanks, in part, to our awesome teams of software engineers, account managers, digital strategists and others. Our office is made up of thousands of Googlers from over 65 countries, overseeing sales and infrastructure for our businesses in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
We're Google's headquarters for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
Our sales teams focus on helping small and medium-sized businesses and working with major global companies across EMEA.
Our engineering teams have scaled Google's products and infrastructure across the EMEA region.
Number of Dublin Googlers: About as many as the number of zeros in a septingentillion
Some of our conference rooms are named: The Boomtown Rats, James Joyce, Hairy Lemon

Inside Google Dublin (EU HQ)
A generation ago, Dublin's docklands section was known for its urban decay. Today, it's Ireland's home base for technology, teeming with start-ups as well as the European headquarters for some of the biggest tech companies in the world. The area has expanded to make room for a host of engineering jobs that focus on application development to software testing to network security.
We're proud of the role we've played in revitalizing the neighborhood. Our four modern buildings include the tallest commercial building in Dublin. We designed our offices to celebrate the city's culture, with everything from music rooms to a kitchen disguised as a traditional Irish pub.
As Google's center for sales in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, we work with a broad range of businesses and markets – small businesses, multinationals, AdWords, AdSense, Display, Mobile advertising and more. Our sales team is as varied as these markets. We need key account managers, digital marketing consultants and others with a talent for analysis and communication. Our engineers have managed the infrastructure for all our products across the region, from Search to Chrome to Google+.
Whether it's because of our diversity, our passion for what we do or our location in the heart of one of the world's friendliest, most charming cities, the work that we do here is great craic.
We're central to Google's business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and we have a really diverse, international team, so this is a particularly great place to work.- Helen Tynan, People Operations
Google Dublin (EU HQ): Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Google Dublin a great place to build a career?
We're Google's operations headquarters for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, supporting more than 50 countries across the region – meaning we offer a wide range of career opportunities. On the sales side, we work with all kinds of businesses, from small, family owned companies to big, global advertisers. On the engineering side, we've supported Google infrastructure across EMEA, ensuring that all our products work the way they're supposed to. And we're home to teams in finance, legal and HR as well.
What makes Google Dublin a fun place to work?
Our offices embrace Dublin's unique culture. Our walls are covered with murals, from graffiti art to panoramic photos of Dublin streets to scenes from Irish folklore. Googlers can take a break in massage rooms, our music room or by playing classic arcade games.
But we're also a cultural melting pot; our Googlers hail from more than 65 countries and speak more than 45 languages. Our chefs make sure help us all feel at home, serving scrumptious dishes from around the world in the Father Ted-themed café (not to mention the three other cafés on our campus).
What makes working in Dublin different from working in other Google locations?
Being the hub for EMEA brings us big challenges and opportunities, alongside a range of groups to help tackle them – sales, engineering, people operations, marketing and legal.
We're also in a fun neighborhood that mixes new buildings with architectural reminders of Dublin's maritime and industrial past, and near landmarks old and new, like Merrion Square, the Custom House, Herbert Park and Aviva Stadium.

Bloomberg News
Female students nationwide have filed federal complaints that claim campus sexual-assault investigators lack training, fail to adequately probe incidents and treat the attackers with too much leniency.
Now, college men accused of sexual assault are protesting the same system. Taking a page from the women's complaints, men are citing violations under Title IX, the anti-gender discrimination law that women have used to demand equality in sports programming and education for 40 years.
Men are claiming the investigations are biased in favor of their accusers, who are most often women. Campus sexual-assault investigations represent a parallel criminal-justice system run by school officials without legal training in which evidence and the burden of proof are scant and punishments harsh, said Robert Shibley, senior vice president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.
The sanctions, which can include expulsion from college are "massively life-changing," Shibley said. The process "makes someone guilty of what in most states is considered a felony."
In the past two years, men either disciplined or expelled have filed discrimination cases against Xavier University in Cincinnati; Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y.; Williams College in Williamstown, Mass.; Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Penn.; St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia; and College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass.
The trend reflects a wider debate over how sexual assault is dealt with on campus and how that process differs from the broader criminal justice system. As a result, both female and male students are building cases under Title IX, interpreting the law to give themselves the best possible outcome.
Peter Yu, a Vassar student accused of sexually assaulting a female student last year, wasn't allowed legal representation during the college's investigation of his case, according to his lawyer, Andrew Miltenberg, an attorney with Nesenoff & Miltenberg in New York. As a non-native English speaker from China, Yu wasn't able to tell his story, according to a suit citing Title IX violations filed against the college.
"If you were a senior in college and had paid $200,000 for your education and were hoping to go to medical school, would you want to put all that on the line without a lawyer?" Miltenberg, who maintains his client's innocence, said in a telephone interview.
Yu was expelled in March. Vassar officials declined to comment.
Title IX's requirement that colleges provide equal opportunities in sports programming for men and women has been clear for decades, reshaping college athletics and women's sports. The U.S. Education Department has been slower to define the law's role in sexual assault, said Daniel Carter, director of the 32 National Campus Safety Initiative, an advocacy group based in Centreville, Virginia.
In April, 2011, the Obama administration published the "Dear Colleague letter," which emphasized that schools would be in violation of Title IX's anti-gender discrimination rules by failing to address sexual assaults. To make sure everyone got the message, copies of the letter were sent to every U.S. college, and Vice President Joe Biden held a press event in New Hampshire.
The legislation requires colleges to investigate sexual assaults so that campuses are safe places to learn for both men and women. Education Department guidelines call for probes, which are usually conducted by a small panel of school officials, that should take less than 60 days. Penalties can be appealed by both sides, and colleges can be sued for imposing sanctions, such as expulsion.
Reports of sexual assaults increased to 3,771 in 2011, the latest year for which national data are available from the Education Department. The total was 14 percent higher than in 2010 and 30 percent more than in 2009. About 90 percent of sexual assault victims are female, according to the Rape Abuse & Incest National Network.
Young men in college face a growing risk of being accused, said Nicole Colby Longton, an attorney who sued Holy Cross on behalf of a student accused of sexually assaulting a woman on campus.
"One sexual encounter that involves alcohol, and the next thing you know you're accused and expelled and branded for life," Colby said in a phone interview. "Schools are going to push kids to have signed waivers before they have intercourse."
Increasing numbers of assault victims are filing grievances against their universities. In the fiscal year that ended in September, the Education Department received 30 Title IX complaints claiming colleges failed to prevent or fully address campus assaults, compared with 17 a year earlier and 18 two years prior, according to Jim Bradshaw, a spokesman.
Sexual-assault victims need the protection of Title IX- sanctioned investigations so they can pursue education without continued harassment from assailants, said Mia Ferguson, 20, a student at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania who filed a complaint against her school for failing to uphold the standard.
Police probes seldom convict assailants and can take years to complete, Ferguson said. That, along with public exposure from courtroom proceedings, discourages the vast majority of women from bringing cases against attackers, she said.
Men's use of Title IX to fight assault charges raises a new obstacle in the long battle for women to gain protection from campus rape, said Laura Dunn, founder of SurvJustice, a Washington-based advocacy group for victims of sexual violence.
"Defense attorneys are trying to get the playing field back to where it used to be, where sexual violence was ignored on campus for fear of lawsuits," Dunn said.
Colleges navigate a fine line as they try to avoid Education Department penalties for failing to investigate and punish sexual offenders, while facing lawsuits from those who say they've been falsely accused, said David Lisak, a former psychology professor at the University of Massachusetts at Boston, who advises colleges on their policies.
"They're going to get hit either way, and they're wondering which one is going to hurt most," he said.
Accused students are at a disadvantage because the investigations don't follow standard rules of evidence, and accusers can appeal the decision that ensues, Shibley said. His group was co-founded by attorneys Harvey Silverglate and Charles Kors, who co-wrote "The Shadow University: The Betrayal of Liberty on America's College Campuses."
The foundation supported a North Carolina law passed this year giving college students the right to a lawyer in certain disciplinary hearings, including ones involving sexual assaults.
While students found responsible for the assault don't go to jail, they are ripped from their friends and studies, subject to shame, risk losing tuition and fees and may be barred from other campuses, Shibley said.
While increasingly under scrutiny, campus investigations into assaults are different from the police and court systems that probe rape charges.
In a courtroom, to prove a rape has occurred, an accuser must show the charges are true "beyond a reasonable doubt." Since 1995, the Education Department has said that campus investigations should be decided by a less-strict rule: a "preponderance of evidence." To satisfy that standard the charges must be more likely than not to be true. That yardstick is used in civil cases and in the establishment of paternity.
The "preponderance of evidence" standard is the right one for cases like those that have found accused men responsible for assaults in campus investigations, said Carter of the 32 National Campus Safety Initiative. Campus investigations apply to college policies, not criminal law, he said.
"The two goals of the process are education and protecting the community, as opposed to the punitive nature of the criminal justice system," Carter said.
In July, 2012, Dezmine Wells, a former star basketball player at Xavier, was accused of sexual assault by a female student. A campus investigation quickly determined that Wells was responsible for the assault, and the college moved to expel him, according to a complaint filed by Wells's lawyer Peter Ginsberg.
At the same time, the woman who accused Wells had undergone a medical exam, according to the complaint. A lack of trauma indicated the sex was consensual and, based on that and other evidence, a county prosecutor decided not to charge Wells with rape. Now, Wells, 21, is suing Xavier for expelling him, citing violations of his rights under Title IX.
"It's becoming clearer that this sort of prejudice against the accused is a result of discrimination," said Ginsberg. Wells now plays basketball at the University of Maryland.
Wells's hearing was held according to standard practices for U.S. universities, said Kelly Leon, a Xavier spokeswoman.
"This lawsuit is the result of Mr. Wells's disappointment in the outcome of a thorough and fair investigation, hearing, and appeal process conducted by Xavier University," Leon said in an e-mailed statement. "Our attorneys will vigorously defend Xavier University and our president against all claims asserted in this suit."
Those standard practices may still need more examination and refinement, Ginsberg said.
"It may well be that the Education Department hadn't thought this through when it made colleges and universities responsible for making these determinations," the lawyer said. "Maybe the whole policy should be reconsidered."

Super A not getting fire from coil
Hi, I replaced the wiring harness on my super A, also coverted it from a 6v positive ground to 12 v neg. ground. Replaced the voltage reg., coil with internal resistor, had gen. reworked to correct voltage and changed battery. This worked like a charm it cranked and ran very well also charged correctly (just shy of 15 v.) all of a sudden, without warning, it shut off just like you turned off the switch and has not hit a lick since. I have voltage going to the coil + side but none on the - side going to the dist. Also the coil got so hot it could not be touched so i replaced it with another coil (2 actually) and still no fire to dist. ? Anybody else ever had this problem?
Re: Super A not getting fire from coil
check your condenser and the post going inside the distributor for shorts. The i side of the coil going to the distributor should have voltage when the points open, but none when they close. If something is shorted the continuous current flow will cause the coil will get hot. In normal operation it only handles short bursts of current.

Re: Super A not getting fire from coil
Thanks, I will try that.Earlier today a friend and I discussed that, my thinking was, voltage has to go through the coil to get to the condenser which lead me to believe it was the coil. Am I correct in the attachment on the wires to the coil? + side from switch, - to dist. If I remember correctly, this was opposite when it was 6 v. pos. grd. Thanks, Brian.
Re: Super A not getting fire from coil
yes, that is correct for - ground.

Re: Super A not getting fire from coil
I agree with John, if you have the same "no voltage" condition with multiple coils, there's a short of some sort in the dist.
Re: Super A not getting fire from coil
my 140 did the same thing just a couple of weeks ago. my coil was also hot , i bought a new one ,same thing no start. i checked the fuse in the dash and it was blown. i changed it and bam it started right up!
Re: Super A not getting fire from coil
I also had a similar problem with my SA the first time I tried starting it after the restoration and new wiring harness. Turned out the edge of the condenser wire connector at the terminal post inside the distributor was just barely touching the wall of the distributor. I took a small screwdriver and pried it away and it work perfectly! I was also prepared to replace the insulator around the post on the side of the distributor where the coil wire attaches, but didn't need to at that point.
Dale Finch
Re: Super A not getting fire from coil
And Gary. Problem is an electrical short from the coil to and including the distributor. Most likely inside the distributor.
My first thought, since tractor ran for a while, is that the screw holding the points' bracket into positon loosened - causing the points to remain close.
Next possible that the points spring slipped and is shorting to the distributor case. Or the insulator through the distributor case has slipped out or is broken.
Could be a couple of other distributor related problems. Distributor drive broken, etc.. Check the easy stuff first.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Super A not getting fire from coil
We checked the points and spring, condenser wire and all seemed fine. Insulator through dist. is good, nothing touching metal that should'nt be. At this point would yall replace the condenser and see what happens ? Also, if I had the wires going to the coil attached like it was when its was pos. ground, ( wire from switch to - side and wire going to dist. to + side of coil ) would it still crank? If so, this might be the way it was attached before this problem. I realize now it should be reversed. Thanks in advance guys, and sorry for so many questions I am having to learning as I go.
Re: Super A not getting fire from coil
At this point, disconnect the condenser lead, rotate the engine to the point where the points are open and check again for current at the dist. side of the coil, it should be present. If so, replace the condenser, if not, you've missed something.
The ignition system will function with coil connected either way, but will work best when connected properly. Connect it with the neg. to the distributor and move on.
Re: Super A not getting fire from coil
Changed condenser Sat. hit the starter, it cranked up and ran smooth as could be.Don't know what would cause a near new condenser to go bad? Maybe something to do with the coil hooked up backwards? but all seems fine now. Thanks for all the help guys.
Re: Super A not getting fire from coil
Take a look at the box and see where it was made. That should give you some insight.

You know your right. Just happened to remember, I had a M1 Garand made by International Harvester, reckon who it was being used on in 1952 (yr. my Super A was built)? Now I have their parts on my tractor!
Re: Super A not getting fire from coil
I've always found that the chances of a new condenser being defective is greater than the chances of the old one failing. I'm not sure why we think we need to replace a perfectly good condenser when we replace points, it's just always been the practice, I guess.

In response to Norman Smith's letter of Aug. 9 concerning my letter printed Aug. 5, Mr. Smith is an independent who indicated that I don't realize what is good for the country. He makes no political commitment, but I have, and for good reason.
What is good for the country? Some of my Republican guides are:
A balanced budget, low taxes, a strong defense, control of our borders and following the Constitution. Good public health, safety, and law and order are essential. An educated populace is necessary, as well as more personal responsibility and less government dependence.
We need to care for those who are unable to care for themselves with sensible allowances and rules.
We need the freedom to make personal choices. Regulations from unelected bureaucrats must be curtailed.
The Maine state Republicans have demonstrated that they can bring sanity to spending and taxes. The federal and state Democrats have not.
From the Maine Democrats we inherited an excessive welfare system, obstructive regulations to business, departmental unnecessary spending, and an unpaid retirement fund.
From the federal Democrats we have a record-high debt, an unaffordable health care law, millions unemployed and a wasteful bureaucracy.
If you continue to elect the same people to Congress you will likely get the same result. There are quality Republican candidates whose credentials far outweigh their opponents. The Democrats haven't done the job.
Are you better off now than you were four years ago?

Brake problem with Cub Cadet 147 (circa 1970)
I am trying to get an old Cub Cadet running, It is a 147 Hydro from about 1970. The brake pedal works smoothly in neutral. If the lever is moved to forward or reverse the brake pedal must be forced down (kicked down) with my foot. Once the brake pedal breaks free, the brakes work. Any repair suggestions?
Re: Brake problem with Cub Cadet 147 (circa 1970)
Actually, it's working perfectly. On an older Cub Cadet hydro (such as yours), the brake ONLY works when the hydro lever is in the neutral position. If the lever is in forward or reverse, the brake pedal actually forces the lever back to neutral, before actuating the brakes. Sounds like yours is working fine.
Ironically, there is absolutely no use for a brake pedal on a Cub Cadet hydrostatic drive tractor. The tractor is locked in gear at all times, neutral is a braked position, meaning the machine cannot roll when the engine is on and the lever is moved to the neutral position. Actually, even when the engine is off, you have to old the hydro release lever to even roll the machine around. Brakes are worthless on hydro tractors.
If you do use the brake pedal, in an emergency, to preven running over something, you will not hurt anything, and the tractor will stop, but it's not because of the brakes, it's because the brake forced the hydro lever to the neutral position.
If you use the brake pedal all the time, to force the hydro lever to the neutral position, you'll end up wearing stuff out prematurely, and just having to replace parts that were unnecessarily worn out.

Re: Brake problem with Cub Cadet 147 (circa 1970)
Perhaps I wasn't clear. I have to use extreme force to depress the brake pedal the first 1/2 inch. I used to do it when I was a 10 or 12 and now a 12 year old would never be able to depress the pedal. It seems to hang up on something.
Re: Brake problem with Cub Cadet 147 (circa 1970)
Sounds like it is time to do some linkage adjustment and or repair. The procedure is outlined in the service manual and should be followed. You can get a service manual for the model from www.binderbooks.com or you may be able to download one on line from www cubcadetcollectors.com

- Eat a healthy diet. It should be low in saturated fat. It should also be rich in fruits, vegetables , and whole grain foods.
- Maintain a normal weight. Excess weight causes the lungs and heart to work harder.
- It may be hard to eat because you feel full. Try eating several smaller meals during the day. This is better than a few large meals.
- Slow down your eating pace. This will make it easier to breathe.
- If you need to gain weight, add food or drinks throughout the day. Talk to a dietitian about how many calories you need each day.
Lifestyle Changes
- Pace your activities.
- Learn relaxation techniques and other methods to manage stress.
- Seek emotional support from professionals, family, and friends. Anxiety can increase the rate of respiration. This makes breathing more strenuous.
- If you smoke, quit.
- Avoid exposure to second-hand smoke.
- Avoid exposure to air pollution or irritants.
- Wear protective gear if exposed to irritants or toxins at work.

Saint Rosalia
- La Santuzza (the little saint)
Born to the Sicilian nobility, the daughter of Sinibald, Lord of Roses, and Quisquina. Descendant of Charlemagne. Raised around the royal Sicilian court. From her youth, Rosalia knew she was called to dedicate her life to God. When grown, she moved to cave near her parent's home, and lived in it the rest of her life; tradition says that she was led to the cave by two angels. On the cave wall she wrote "I, Rosalia, daughter of Sinibald, Lord of Roses, and Quisquina, have taken the resolution to live in this cave for the love of my Lord, Jesus Christ." Rosalia remained apart from the world, dedicated to prayer and works of penance for the sake of Jesus, and died alone.
In 1625, during a period of plague, she appeared in a vision to a hunter near her cave. Her relics were discovered, brought to Palermo, and paraded through the street. Three days later the plague ended, intercession to Rosalia was credited with saving the city, and she was proclaimed its patroness. The traditional celebration of Rosalia lasted for days, involved fireworks and parades, and her feast day was made a holy day of obligation by Pope Pius XI in 1927.

Food & Entertaining
going on a trip
what kinds of food do you take prepared or easy to prepare when you go on a road trip. We are going camping and sightseeing on a poor man budget so I wanna stretch my dollars as far as I can with 2 adults 2 teens we are going 800 miles round trip. with a pop up and no fridge or stove. So I just thought I would ask what you would take if you were going to give me some fresh ideas.
When I get back I'll give you details on how it goes. We will be going in about 2 weeks.
My DH and I traveled from PA to CA and back many years ago. We had a tent and a cooler. We were gone 28 days. Of course we were young and poor.
We kept that ice chest filled with ice and lunch meat, milk, juice, and a few other such things. We had bread for sandwiches, cereal, etc. While at the campsites we would use the grills and cook burgers or chicken, etc.. We usually stopped at roadside stands and purchased fruit, etc. we thought that we ate like kings!
This trip was in 1975, and we kept a detailed account of everything that we spent. We saw a show in Las Vegas, took a white water rafting trip in Colorado, went to Disneyland for a day, etc. Our total cost was $321 each!
Have a great time!
What will you cook on- campfire grill at campsite? Trying to think back eons ago to when we camped at rough sites. Two coolers are essential; one using dry ice to keep things frozen such as barbecues, pulled pork, spaghetti sauce, frozen hamburg patties, fried chicken done ahead of time. Second cooler held bacon, eggs, some beverages,cold cuts, cheese, ketchup, etc. Then when we got close to destination we would buy buns,chips, bread, etc. I had an enamel coffee pot that went right on campfire. Don't forget to bring couple hotpads, matches and aim n flame, maybe bundle of firestarters. Planning ahead is key, for food done ahead of time and also what kind of pans to use. My favorite meal was breakfasts-aroma of bacon over open fire is so irristable. Have fun.
We made many road trips with 3 kids when DH was mil. and seldom ate in restaurants. You are wise to plan ahead but IMO a chill chest or 2 is essential. If you will be traveling many miles each day you can make sandwiches in the morning and keep them in the chill chest. Depending on your family's preferences peanut butter, cheese, sliced meats, bread or buns, cookies, and fruit is a good lunch menu that can be varied. Many of these things can be purchased daily as you travel if you don't make sandwiches before starting in the morning - they can be made quickly at a rest stop. I always brought a plastic tablecloth as most campsite tables are not very clean. I always kept some necessities for quick meals in a plastic tote that was easily accessible. Napkins which can be used instead of plates for a sandwich meal, a bread knife, knife to butter bread, a roll of paper towels, plastic glasses for drinks. Depending on your preferences a large thermos for coffee and plastic jugs for lemonade/iced tea.
When we traveled with the kids I always made GORP (Granola, Oats, Raisins, and Peanuts) for snacks. I changed the recipe (of course) but always used various nuts, dried fruits, and chocolate chips. I usually also made cookies and bran muffins for snacks before leaving on the trip.
If the budget allows a purchased rotisserie chicken makes an easy meal. I've made lots of chili, spaghetti/pasta, hamburgers, fried/toasted cheese sandwiches over a camp stove.
Here's a recipe I've found works great for trips. They do need to be kept cool but for the first day of a trip can be brought along right out of the freezer so will be good for hours. I've taken these on trips and even eaten them while still partially frozen! They are good for any quick meal and snacks.
Egg Muffins (these are like tiny quiches without crust)
Preheat oven to 350F
Butter 12 large muffin pans
12 large eggs, beaten
3 diced green onions (I used lightly browned chopped yellow onion)
1 large grated carrot
1 diced bell pepper (I used chopped broccoli)
1/2 cup feta cheese (I used cheddar and increased to 3/4 cup)
Salt and pepper to taste
Divide chopped veggies and cheese between the 12 muffin tins. Add S&P to eggs while beating and pour over the veggies and cheese. Bake 20 minutes @ 350F (mine were cooked in 15 minutes so watch carefully) Remove from pans and cool, then refrigerate or freeze.
This recipe is very forgiving. Some recipes also add chopped browned mushrooms. Up to 2 cups of chopped veggies works. Cooked sausage meat or chopped cooked bacon can be added and Swiss or cheddar cheese work. There are lots of recipes with different ingredients and amounts on the internet.

We used to do many of these same things on road trips with the family - but we used beach towels for tablecloths & blankets in the van.
We also kept the ice chest filled with frozen juices, which kept us from having to buy ice for at least the first day, maybe longer. Yogurt, string cheese, & cottage cheese were good for snacks or lunch.
Be safe & have a good time!
Been there, done that and have lots of great family vacation memories. Would do it again!
I always took the kids to the store at home and let them each choose X number of items to take along - snacks/chips, beverages, candy if allowed, deli meat/cheese. They chose decently reasonable things for snacking - yoghurt, string cheese or cheese curds, beef sticks, mini carrots, nuts, some candy.
I made my own party mix, took cleaned relish vegetables & some dip, loaf of bread, bought SMALL container or packets of condiments.
Vacation was one time I allowed what I considered luxuries as pudding cups, boughten cookies or snack cakes, little bags of chips, etc. (My kids whined that some friends at school had those in their lunchbox daily.)
We took soda cans or juice boxes and only put a few in the cooler at a time to last the day to conserve space. A small cooler was kept in the passenger compartment and the large cooler in the luggage compartment.
I'm sorry I can't be more helpful but we didn't have a camper on road trips, just at the ski beach and stayed stationary with electricity. A lot of stuff was done in an electric skillet and hot pot.
This past Christmas, DD & her fiance were riding in our vehicle. She mentioned how much fun she was having digging around in the cooler.....remembering from our road trips cause she never knew what she'd find!
One tip that might be helpful, when we vacation I take a ham from home. Start the first night's meal with that from the cooler*. In subsequent days it can be used for breakfast meat, chopped for omelets, or stratas, sliced for sandwiches (cold or grilled), ground for ham salad, chunked for casseroles or pickled for hors d'oeuvre, and a myriad of other dishes if you like ham.
*I also pack some baking potatoes, can of baked beans, jar of applesauce. Then when we get to our destination I can fix dinner without a trip to the local grocery store first. (Remember I have sandwich condiments in my cooler for butter & use dip for sour cream and cookies or bars for dessert.)
Enjoy your much deserved vacation! Hope things are improving for you a little each day.XOXOX
Great tips. In a couple of weeks we will be on our annual trip up to NY without the benefit of staying with a friend so no comforts of home. Also the hotel does not have refrigerators in the rooms.
Normally because food at the tournament is so expensive we usually take our lunch and snacks with us. I can bring all kinds of salads etc when we stay with our friend, but will have to be more careful using coolers.
Fun and Info
I have rarely camped, only remember one trip many years ago where we went sailing and stayed on islands. I remember the mosquitos and cooking bacon in the morning for us (inc. a bunch of hippies we met on the island!)
On our recent visit to Mass. I had to take the food I was serving and so used an ice chest. I filled bottles with water and froze them, not only for cooling but to drink if necessary.
I am definitely trying JoyLuck's recipe as it sounds great just to have on hand for a quick meal.
It would seem to me that you might want to have meals that would include hot drinks/soups as well as cold. DGD chose to hike a part of the Appalachian trail as her "welcome" to college trip and it was a deluge for the three days it took! I'm sure they appreciated whatever hot food they had with them.
joyluck, I'm going to try this very interesting recipe. It sounds like you eat it cold, is that right?
Spam - that's the only time we ever bought or ate Spam - was when camping. Of course, bacon cooking in the morning is a camp must. But my fondest memories are of when my husband and kids caught rainbow trout - and cooking it over a campfire. Those were real memory-makers. This was in both Montana and in Northern Idaho - where we camped many times.
Spam. LOL I ate it when I was a kid.
Bought it for vacation only one time when we stayed in a cabin. It did not taste ANYTHING like I remembered. I have not purchased it for any reason since.
Isn't it funny how our tastes change?!
Does this hat make my butt look big?
Hot right out of the oven, warm, cold, even still partially frozen. I've eaten them at every temp!

What about reheated?
I just made JoyLuck's mini quiches. They look beautiful, but haven't tasted yet.
My filling was: about 2/3 of an Italian sausage which I browned with one cut up (skin still on) small (but large for that size) potato. Added some cut up left over froz veggies (carrots, cauliflower, peppers?) added about 1/3 large tomato,chunked.
After I got all the mixture in the muffin tins, I turned the blender on with the large eggs which I had put in. Blended then added to veggies. Blender was a good way to do it as there is the pouring spout. Although I was careful at first I found that the egg mixture almost exactly filled the cups. But of course that would depend on how much solid food you had used. Mine looked about two cups but I did not measure.
Had to bake them 3 minutes longer than 15. They look yummy!
Wow this is bringing back some good & weird memories.LOL.We did have a pop-up camper years ago,with 1st hubby.DH now doesn't like to camp.We have went with his DF & used his 5th wheel.We used a hot plate(eye burner),crock pot,electric fry pan,mini oven and take a surge protecter to use for many plug in tools.We did not ruff it,huh?LOL
,ya gotta eat good and food tastes best when camping.
We did use 2 ice chests, one for drinks, sandwhich foods & other for frozen foods.Plenty of foil & baggies to be used.
1st of all can foods: tuna, spam, porkNbeans, beanie weanies, manwhich sauce,ect.Any food we could cook fairly easy.
We did precook chili beans, hotdog chili and some meats. Froze them and placed in bottom of ice chest.We took a 5lb.bag of potatoes.We sliced them & coated them w/oil & seasonings & cooked them in a foil bag on the fire grate.Or hash browns ect.Yum
Here is a site and many others for foil cooking.Google and you'll drool at some of the recipes.I cant wait to hear the stories of your fun times. Becareful & have fun.

lol...We can remember our parents could make it to the coast(s) within THREE days from the Midwest. I remember how they'd stop at the store to get a loaf of bread, jar of mustard, pkgs of bologna, chips, bag of fruit, Koolaid with sugar in it, the preboxed cereal(cold milk bought along the way). Away we'd go! Our parents would drive through the night while we slept. This was my dad's favorite way to travel. He knew there'd be good grub by the time we got to his side of the family/mom's side of the family.
Now, I'm married to a foodie. He sets up the kabobs, salads, fruits, beverages, hummus, etc before our trips. I recall having quite the picnic several times like this on various trips. I recently purchased another antique picnic basket. He's impressed and is already planning our next fall trip. It will be a fishing trip, so we'll probably catch some of our meals. Heeeere....fishy, fishy, fishy.
And vacations when I was a kid and with my own children was the one time we could buy all those little boxes of cereal that came bundled in a variety pack. DH & I had to eat all the 'good for you' varieties, the kids were after the 'junk' cereals.
Do they still sell those at grocery?
I'm not sure if those are even around. But you're correct....kids got the sugary ones, parents took the plain good for you ones. I think they secretly had a sugar packet somewhere in the car. Kids didn't know about them. Now, I like my healthy oatmeal with cinnamon.
My job involves a lot of traveling and I always prefer canned food. They are delicious and always taste fresh.
Classic Foods
SEVERAl years ago (when nephew & niece were like 14 & 16), scored some SUPER CHEAP lift ticket for a ski place in Poconos... about a 2 hour drive. We loaded up like a bunch of wanders... kids fit ski boots/skis of mom & dad, so no need to rent equipment.
Ski lodges are IMO notorious for not the greatest food at a high price & I wasn't about to buy $4-5 hotdogs or dry burgers when we got hungry. Night before we set out, bought a dozen nice soft rolls, nice ham & salami & cheese. Kids were sorta mocking me as I made sandwiches for the next day.
When we took a break from skiing, I said YOU can go buy a nasty burger OR just buy something to drink and eat FREE sandwiches!
