Farmall Cubs on American Pickers
I was watching an episode of American Pickers, I kinda enjoy Mike and Frank's exploits pickin especially when I get to see some of the stuff I grew up with. Sure brings back a lot of memories. So this epeisode I think it was the second pick and first thing I saw was Farmall Red. Seems there was a Super A and a Super C along with what looked like an H or an M. As they were walking to the back what did I see? A 60's yellow and white Cub Lo-Boy Seems it pays to watch closely There were a few other brands like Ford, Cockshutt and I think an Oliver.

Re: Farmall Cubs on American Pickers
Pretty neat! When I watch the American Pickers, I try to look in the background for tractors and such too, but many times the camera swings around so fast, it's hard to get a good look.

Re: Farmall Cubs on American Pickers
Same here, watch American Pickers. In one episode the guys were walking on top of a bunch of tractors including a standard red Cub.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Farmall Cubs on American Pickers
I would like the addresses of the places they visit. It is obvious they are now "picking" for the show, not for the great finds. They pass up and over so much stuff. They also don't like "tractor" stuff.
It would be nice just to follow behind them and pick what they have passed over.

Above story. Don't know if it's true or not. Do know that the two pickers couldn't make a living much less expenses for the items picked and "sold" on an episode.
Ghost Town Gold, another TV series, the pickers always seems to find some sort of fire arm hidden in old buildings. The condition of the found fire arms is unbelievable, almost new pristine condition, for being stached 80 or 100 years.
I have an excuse. CRS.

"Reality" shows are one of my biggest gripes. They aren't real!

Re: Farmall Cubs on American Pickers
I used to watch Pickers, when it first came out, but it got "long in the tooth" pretty quick. When I turn on The History Channel, I'm looking to watch history, but it seems Pickers Pawn Stars & American Restoration make up about half of their programming. None of those shows hold my interest anymore.
Re: Farmall Cubs on American Pickers
They were here in town a few months back, I got my picture taken with Mike. They really didn't pick that much stuff for being here all day. I saw a lot of neat things the man had and they picked non of them. I have asked the old timer if I could take a look and have not gotten a responce. I do know there are a lot of Cub Cadet parts and pieces in there. The man has buildings just full of stuff, literally several buildings. It will be a long auction when he passes on cause the kids want it all gone from what I've herd. I really like to watch them, it is neat to see what they come out with and the people they meet are rather interesting.
Re: Farmall Cubs on American Pickers
I like American Restoration, but I can't help but wonder how much of it is actual craftsmanship or just putting lipstick on the pig...
Re: Farmall Cubs on American Pickers
I certainly hope it is craftsmanship at the prices they charge. That's too much for lipstick.

Re: Farmall Cubs on American Pickers
It would be hard for me to believe that American Restoration was nothing but craftsmanship becuase of the stuff they show and the work involved.
Re: Farmall Cubs on American Pickers
I liked American Restoration till the "Honey Bee" episode. They hosed down an entire honeybee colony and destroyed it. They seem a little rough and casual on the teardowns, plus they don't always go back original. Some times that's ok, sometimes not.
The pickers have been to two places here Carolina that I have been to or by. One was the antique place on 24-27 in Oakboro. The other was across town, and I didn't even know that they were here! That guy had built a small town from slabwood. Church, bar, service station, and hotel, etc. We took a school group there in the 70's or early 80's. Not far from there was a man's home that he built to look like a castle. He made wooden lamp shades on a lathe, thin enough for light to shine through. Btw, I saw a cub wheel and right front axle in an early esisode.
Another treasure salvage/ hunter show makes you wonder. They dig up old rusty junk and try to sell it for much cash. Run by an ex football player?
Did anyone see the Pawn Stars with the Jonnypopper? They didn't buy it.
Most of these programs are "fluff", trying to appeal to people like us.

Re: Farmall Cubs on American Pickers
I don't watch reality shows but I did see the one where they were run off the property. Probably the closest to the truth the show has ever been. In my neck of the woods they probably wouldn't make it onto the property, much less the front door.
Re: Farmall Cubs on American Pickers
its obvious that pickers is all staged, but i still think its a good show. they always find the kind of stuff that i'm interested in. american restoration on the other handis a joke. the prices they get is so far off the wall its not even believable. some made a comment about lipstick on a pig, thats the best way to describe them.
Re: Farmall Cubs on American Pickers
I completely agree. The History Channel has definitely gone downhill. What ever became of "Wings"? I still like Modern Marvels, though....

It was a remarkable moment in a remarkable legislative session when House Minority Leader Ken Fredette stood to explain that he was having a hard time understanding Democrats because they think like women.
Fredette said he had read the book "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus" and it explained why Democrats favored using federal funds to supply health insurance to 70,000 poor Mainers and he could not.
"Men sort of think one way in their own brain, in their own world, and women think another way in their own brain, in their own world," he said.
"Because, if you listen to the debate today, in my mind — a man's mind — I hear two fundamental issues. From the other side of the aisle (where the Democrats sit), I hear the conversation being about free. 'This is free, we need to take it, and it's free. And we need to do it now,' " he said.
Fredette's observation was, from the start, a little weird because most of the people looking back at him from across the aisle were actually men. Girly men, apparently, although their ranks included a former fire chief and a former county sheriff.
At any rate, the gals over there like free stuff. Perhaps he meant they are used to getting chocolates, flowers, diamond rings and pin money from their husbands.
"Now," he continued, "my brain, being a man's brain, sort of thinks differently, because I say, well, it's not. If it's free, is it really free? Because I say, in my brain (his man brain), there's a cost to this."
Actually, both the women and the men on the Democratic side understood that the federal money would not be "free," since we all pay federal taxes.
But the federal government would have supplied all of the money to extend Medicaid to 60,000 Mainers for three years without Maine taxpayers paying any more taxes.
Fredette's man brain told him it would be better to allow our federal taxes to go to other states rather than helping people here in Maine.
It's a man thing; don't ask.
But just because Mainers stand up like men and refuse the "free" money doesn't mean the federal government is going to cut our taxes.
Fredette was a little inarticulate, but there was a bit of truth in what he said.
Anyone who doesn't recognize that men and women, in general, lean in different political directions just isn't recognizing reality.
There is a reason Mitt Romney spent so much time fretting over the "female vote" in the last election, and why "soccer moms" are a political force in every election.
And there's likely a reason there were no Republican women in the Maine Senate this session and six on the Democratic side.
Women make up 38 percent of the Democrats (33 votes) in the House, but only 15 percent (8 votes) among Republicans.
Nationally, women are about seven percent more likely to identify with Democrats than men, and psychologists have spent three decades trying to figure out why.
Surveys and exit interviews have regularly shown that men and women tend to put different emphasis on social policy, military power, the economy, taxes and moral issues.
Interestingly, women tend to be more consistent with their beliefs over time, while men tend to swing more widely from issue to issue and election to election. It is, apparently, a man's prerogative to change his mind.
This tends to be true not only in the U.S. but in other nations as well.
Women tend to be more open to change and more sympathetic to immigrants and the poor. Men, and Republicans, tend to put more emphasis on threats, perhaps accounting for their greater support for military spending, gun rights and lower taxes.
Men and Republicans tend to see the world as a threatening place, while women and Democrats see it as a cooperative, friendly sphere.
Women and Democrats tend to be more comfortable with change and uncertainty, which might explain their willingness to go for a three-year Medicaid deal and accept uncertainty about future funding.
Some research has been done on Fredette's area of interest, the brains of men and women, and how they process information.
In other words, are we born to be Republicans or Democrats? Do we inherit that from our parents?
But our Republican and Democratic beliefs quickly become impossible to separate from the influence of our parents, our upbringing and life experiences.
There is strong research showing that the right and left sides of our brains identify and analyze information differently.
And scientist looking at brain scans given to people taking a special gambling quiz can tell conservatives from liberals with 82 percent accuracy by telling which part of their brain gets the most use.
So, perhaps, as Fredette said, men and women may tend to look at the same information and draw different conclusions and reality and the best way ahead.
But indisputable research shows that the two halves of our brains wouldn't perceive reality nearly as well if they did not work together.
Which may explain a lot about the inability of polarized government to function to anyone's satisfaction.
It takes two sides of a brain to make a whole person. Perhaps that's also true of effective governments.

Science Station
Now Open on Level 2
Everywhere you look, the human-made world surrounds us. But engineering marvels such as skyscrapers, airplanes and even your smartphone are under threat from a process known as corrosion.
The Science Center's newest exhibit explores what corrosion is, why it happens, how we can prevent it and how you can join the effort to conquer this silent menace.
- 3D Mapping: Thanks to projection technology, visualize how corrosion affects infrastructure including steel, pipes and signage.
- Cracking Under Stress: Test beam and truss shapes by applying weight and looking at them from polarized glass to see where they are most affected by stress and therefore more likely to corrode.
- The Case of the Cracked Crawler Shoes: Investigate real NASA artifacts and walk in the footsteps of a corrosion engineer to determine the cause of a corrosion incident.
- Careers in Corrosion: Hear from professionals in the field of corrosion engineering about their experiences and how they got inspired to address these problems and ensure our safety.
- Little Plates Reveal Big Secrets: Act as a corrosion scientist investigating samples of materials exposed in a corrosive environment to determine which materials and coatings provide the best protection from corrosion.
- CORRSim Junior: Take an (inter)active role in preventing corrosion by painting your bike and protecting it from the elements in this Kinect experience.
14 March 2013
Posted in Corrosion: The Silent Menace
As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This is certainly true when it comes to corrosion prevention.
The correct approach to keeping corrosion at bay helps save both money and lives. Although many corrosion prevention techniques are costly, they more than pay for themselves by increasing the safety of our infrastructure and lowering maintenance costs.

Beijing Old Summer Palace——Ruins of Yuanmingyuan
The World > Asia > China > Beijing
YuanMingYuan, also known as the 'Old Summer Palace' (The Old Summer Palace, known in China as the Gardens of Perfect Brightness )and originally called the Imperial Gardens, was an extremely large complex of palaces and gardens 8 km (5 miles) northwest of the old city wall of Beijing,it is very close to the Summer Palace. YuanMingYuan was constructed during the 18th and early 19th century and was a wonderland of lakes and waterways, bridges, hills and pavilions. Half of the garderns are covered by the waters of lakes, winding streams and ponds. It was at YuanMingYuan that the emperors of the Qing Dynasty resided and handled government affairs - until it was destroyed; the Forbidden City was mostly used only for formal ceremonies at this time. YuanMingYuan was, indeed, a veritable museum of garden construction and horticulture. Known to be one of the largest museums in the world, a popular name in China was the 'Garden of Gardens'.
the Imperial Gardens were destroyed by British and French troops in 1860 during the Second Opium War. a large number of these collections were plundered by the Anglo-French Allied Forces, at the same time as the Garden was burnt down. Now, most of these historical curiosities are displayed in the other countries' museums, including the British Museum; Bibliotheque Nationale de France; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, USA; Oslo Museum of Applied Art and so on.
Today, the destruction of the Gardens of Perfect Brightness is still regarded as a symbol of foreign aggression and humiliation in China.

Overview and History
In the Stone Age, "Peking Man" lived near Beijing -- as many as 500,000 years ago. The earliest relics in China are stone tools dating to this time period. Between four and five thousand years ago there were agricultural settlements southwest of Beijing. They were the beginning of a city that would go through several name changes over the millenia.
The legendary Yellow Emperor Huang Di battled Chiyou "in the wilderness of the Zhou prefecture." Zhoulu is a town to the west of modern Beijing. The Yellow Emperor's successor, Emperor Yao, established a capital city called Youdo. Youdo became a place called Ji, and Ji was taken over by the Marquis of Yan during the period of the Warring States (475 B.C.)
Ji remained an important city for ten centuries. From China's first feudal empire through to the end of the Tang Dynasty, Ji was a strategic military center in the campaign to unite all of China.
By the end of the Tang Dynasty in 907 A.D., the Qidan army came from the north and occupied Ji. They called it Nanjing, which meant "southern capital." During this time the Liao Dynasty ruled and carried out many reconstruction projects in the city, fortifying it for greater military use.
The Nuzhen army conquered the Liao and established the Jin dynasty as of 1115 A.D., moving the city of Ji and renaming it "Zhongdu" which means "Central Capital." This meant more expansion and construction of palaces until the city spanned five kilometers across and contained an estimated one million people.
Mongolian raiders invaded Zhongdu in 1215 A.D. and renamed it Dadu. Under Kublai Khan the Yuan Dynasty took Dadu as its capital and unified China!
Since Zhongdu had been destroyed by fire in the change from Jin to Yuan dynasties, Kublai Khan took on a reconstruction project that was to expand the city into rectangular shape. It became the political center of the country with three main areas -- imperial palaces, the city walls, and the canal.
By the coming of the thirteenth century, Dadu was a world famous city which astounded Marco Polo when he arrived. In his record he writes, "You must know that it is the greatest palace that ever was..."
In 1368 Ming soldiers captured Dadu and renamed it Beiping or "Northern Peace." It went through another period of reconstruction which saw walls twelve meters high built around its perimeter, walls ten meters thick which took fifteen years to build. When they were done, Beiping became the official capital of the Ming Dynasty. With the completion of the palaces and gardens in 1420, Emperor Yongle renamed the city Beijing, "Northern Capital."
Beijing grew once more and took on a rectangular shape with two distinct sections, the Inner City (Tartar) and the Outer City (Chinese). Its city planners gave it an organized arrangement that still felt relaxed.
The Qing Dynasty came along circa 1644 A.D. and the Manchus built extended suburban gardens. These took more than a whole century to make, but when they were finished the open-air pavilions and palaces stood as a masterpiece of Chinese architecture. This was proper to show the power and refinement of traditional China, a fitting design for the capital of the empire.
The Qing Dynasty lasted until 1911 but collapsed into chaos at the hands of the Northern Warlords. Beijing suffered a lack of leadership until 1949, when the People's Liberation Army entered the city. From Tian'anmen Square in the center of the city, Chairman Mao Zedong proclaimed the foundation of the People's Republic of China, with Beijing as its capital.
Since then it has continued to expand, surpassing the nine gates of the inner city wall, beyond the seven outer gates, and into the suburbs. Beijing now takes up 750 square kilometers! The city retains its old symmetry with a central axis that runs north-south, and the Imperial Palace Museum at the center. This palace was once called the "Forbidden City" but it is now a museum open to the public.
Getting There
The Beijing Capital International Airport is located 25km northeast of the city. It is the center of China's civil aviation network and it connects to 69 cities worldwide. The airport is linked to the city by bus, taxi and Beijing Subway Airport Line.
The city government operates one bus line and private buses go and come from several hotels. The taxi stand is outside the terminal, as always, so don't ride with the drivers who harass you inside the terminal. A ride to the city center should cost about 70 RMB plus 15 RMB highway toll. You should also know that there's an airport tax of 90 RMB for international travelers. Keep your receipt!
Within the city you can choose from 67,000 GPS-equipped taxis, the bus or the metro. Half of their buses are running on natural gas now, which is a good move considering the city is adding fifty new bus routes per year. Whoa!
The metro has two routes, the Loop Line and Line One. The Loop has sixteen stations and it runs parallel to where the city wall stood in the Ming era. Line One has twenty-one stops going from the suburbs on one side all the way across to the other side. It is safe to assume that there will be more metro lines to follow as Beijing grows.
People and Culture
One of the unique sights in Beijing is a park filled with retired people doing their exercises early in the morning. Tai ch'i, QiGong, sword dancing and shadow boxing are forms of exercise and relaxation which have existed for more than two thousand years and are still popular today.
Drinking tea in a teahouse and enjoying a folk opera in an old-style theater are both popular activities in Beijing culture. Beijing has more bars and pubs than any other Chinese city (more than 400), and it's also full of antique shops, silk markets and museums.
Things to do, Recommendations
Beijing is massive and filled with interesting things to explore. For just a few examples, take a look at these:
The National Stadium (bird's nest), the Water Cube, and ruins of the Yuan Dynasty city wall.
If you like art, you have to check out the 798 Art District. It's named for Factory #798 and the district contains hundreds of galleries, bookstores and restaurants. Have fun!

White smoke rose from a chimney above the Sistine Chapel on Wednesday, signaling the election of a new pope. Roman Catholics in Vatican City and around the world cried, prayed and cheered in reaction.
The faithful cheer after spying the white smoke above the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican early Wednesday evening local time.
The bells of St. Peter's Basilica also rang out after a majority of cardinals agreed on a new leader of the Roman Catholic Church.
The decision happened after the fifth ballot cast since the conclave began Tuesday.
Huddled under umbrellas as rain came down, crowds of onlookers stood for hours watching the chimney and big screens set up in St. Peter's Square.
A crowd of more than 1 million people watched in the rain as white smoke poured out of the Sistine Chapel chimney, signifying a new pope had been elected.

Archived:Getting started with Qt
This article is for beginners who want to start development in Qt for Symbian. Before following the steps given here please make sure that Carbide.c++, S60 SDK and Qt for Symbian are properly installed.
- Install latest Qt for Symbian see Qt for Symbian - Installation packages
- Check this link for installation guide: How to install the package.
- Carbide.c++ 2.0 does not automatically locate your Qt installation, so you need to tell it where Qt is installed. This is done through the following settings:
Carbide.c++ preferences: Window > Preferences > Qt > Add...
First Step
Open the Carbide IDE and click File > New > Qt Project.
Second Step
A new window will open on the screen. This will show the application types that can be created. Click Qt GUI Widget and then click Next.
Third Step
Enter a name for the project and click Next.
Fourth Step
Select the SDK to create the project for and click Next.
Fifth Step
Select the module(s) and click Next. For our example, click Next without selecting any extra modules.
Sixth Step
The class name is required. By default it is the application name. Click Finish to proceed.
After finishing these steps, the project is ready. Several files are created automatically as shown in the following screenshot.
If you have more than one version of Qt for Symbian installed on your machine, choose the correct version as shown here:
Include Qt Views
- Include views for Qt from:
Carbide.c++ > Windows > Show View > Other... > Qt
- View selection depends on the application. However, at least the following views must be selected:
- Qt C++ Widget Box
- Qt C++ Property Editor
- Qt C++ Signal Slot Editor
Adding controls
- Open Hello.ui and place the control from the Qt C++ Widget Box.
- In this example, two push buttons and one text label will be added.
- The display text of an object can be changed by right clicking on object > Change text...
- The name of an object can be changed as shown in the following screenshots.
Text label
- Open Hello.ui.
- Open the Qt C++ Signal Slot Editor view.
- Click to add an entry for handling events on control.
- In this example, we will handle events on the Exit push button
- The application will terminate when the user clicks the Exit push button
- exitButton is the sender of the signal.
- Select the signal clicked() to be sent by exitButton.
- HelloClass is the receiver of this event handling mechanism.
- Slot is the action performed when exitButton is clicked(). To exit from the application, select close().
- In this example, we implement the Hello button event by coding in the files Hello.h and Hello.cpp.
Header file
#ifndef HELLO_H
#define HELLO_H
#include <QtGui/QWidget>
#include "ui_Hello.h"
class Hello : public QWidget
Hello(QWidget *parent = 0);
public slots: //We have added this section to handle "clicked()" event on "helloButton"
void ShowHelloText(); // Fill the label text on clicking "Hello" button
Ui::HelloClass ui;
#endif // HELLO_H
Source file
#include "Hello.h"
Hello::Hello(QWidget *parent)
: QWidget(parent)
// Signal and slot mechanism for "helloButton"
QObject::connect(ui.helloButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(ShowHelloText()));
//We have implemented the following function to display "HelloWorld!!!" text in TextLabel
void Hello::ShowHelloText()
Initial state
Example application
- Extract this example application: Hello.zip
- Import the .pro file from the previously extracted application in your Carbide.c++ IDE.
Carbide.c++ >> Import >> Qt >> Qt Project >> Hello.pro
- If you encounter any problems in creating your HelloWorld application in Qt, please enter your feedback in the Comment page of this article.
- Raise any other Qt for Symbian related questions on the Qt for Symbian Discussion Boards.

Trinidad vs. Vargas revisited.
Trinidad vs. Vargas revisited.

Member No.: 13,355
So recently I had only a few hours for my almost regular "revisited" sunday mood swings. I decided to spend these on Felix Trinidad's fights this time.
I watched vs. Jones, vs. De la Hoya, vs. Mayorga and of course one from the top 3 fights I have ever seen..vs. Hopkins.
As I was watching vs. Vargas fight, I couldnt unnotice the aura and energy that fight had. Trinidad's fans were die hard unbreakable and if you add Mexican/Puerto-Rican rivalry to the mix, that by itself promises a good scrap. Not to mention when two awesome fighters are executing it.
First of all, let me just say that I have always liked Vargas. He was/is a cocky mofo, but I always felt that he is a good kid. His boxing ability wasn't perfect however, even though it wasn't a "flashy" ability, he was able to make adjustments in the fight and he always put it all on the line.
There are stories and fairy tales about Trinidad's left hook, so I will not get into that one. What surprised me the most in all his fights is, how a good jab could keep him totally of balance. (Hopkins fight is a prime example) At times when Vargas used his jab, it really caused some trouble in Trinidad's game and Vargas was capitilizing on that.
The fight - I will not go round by round, but there are some things that I feel should be said.
1 rd - Trinidad caught Vargas right on the money and it had me on the edge of my seat. Vargas was clearly a little cold. BUT, I loved the way he stood his ground, cleared his head while being completely flat-footed!! and fought back! Memorable!
3 rd - I HATE seeing intentional low blows and even more when they land repeatedly. Although I didn't think Trinidad was focusing on hitting Vargas low I think he landed some in all his fights, which makes me wonder.
4 rd - Man oh MAN ! What a surprise seeing Trinidad on his ass. I LOVED the way he stood up and was eager to go back at it! True warrior spirit! And then AGAIN, low blow...and in that situation I think Trinidad wanted to hit him.
12 rd - Classic Trinidad left hooks. Vargas got over-excited and paid the ultimate price. First KD was a flash one, same as the one in the 1st rd, but the second...devastating. Once your head swings like that, its over. Right hand to seal the 3kd and the end of the fight was just a cherry on the pie.
To conclude - Loved the fight!! Vargas was rushed early on in his career, which ultimately cost him his career, imo. Lot of ability wasted because of that. He could have been a great champion. On the other hand, it was clearly Tito's night and he deserved the victory.

The Czech Republic is a cool little landlocked country south of Germany and Poland, with a national addiction to pork and beer. Potatos, cabbage, and dumplings are close behind them, and they also have this great bar food called "utopenec." It means "a drowned man," it's pickled sausage with onions, perfect with some dark wheat bread and beer. The Czech bread is legendary, like a meal all by itself.
Czechoslovakia first became a sovereign state in 1918 when it declared independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The state of Czechoslovakia lasted until the "Velvet Divorce" of 1993, which created Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
It was occupied by Germany in WWII but escaped major damage, unlike most other European cities. The nation's capital, Prague, retains some of Europe's most beautiful Baroque architecture as well as one of the largest medieval castle complexes still standing. The President of the Czech Republic has his offices in the Prague Castle even today.
There was a coup d'etat in 1948 and Czechoslovakia fell under Soviet rule. For fifty years Czechoslovakia was a Socialist state under the USSR, subject to censorship, forced atheism and even the arrest of jazz musicians!
In 1989, communist police violently squashed a pro-democracy demonstration and pissed everybody off so bad that a revolution erupted over it, finally ending the Communist rule.
The next twenty years saw rapid economic growth and westernization. Today in Prague you can eat at McDonald's or KFC, shop for snowboarding boots and go see a punk rock show.
The Czech Republic took over the presidency of the European Union in January 2009. This instantly created lots of political drama because the President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, is a renowned Euroskeptic.
We anxiously await the outcome of "President Klaus vs. the Lisbon Treaty", a world heavywieght fight sceduled for spring 2009.

Lyrid Meteor Showers Peak Apr 22nd
Earth is passing through a debris field of meteors left behind by Comet Thatcher (C/1861 G1). These meteors manifest themselves to us as a Lyrids. Expected activity at peak is 10-20 meteors per hour. But since the weather is nice and warm outside AT NIGHT, its officially time to go out and enjoy these space rocks with friends and family.
Lyrids seem to radiate from the bright star Vega in Lyra ( hence the name Lyrids ). For those who are not that interesting in meteors should know that what they lack in activity they make up in brightness. Lyrid meteors are usually bright and chances of seeing fireballs are good.
Earth Like Planet Discovered
Using NASA's Kepler Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered the first Earth-size planet orbiting in the "habitable zone" of another star. The planet, named "Kepler-186f" orbits an M dwarf, or red dwarf, a class of stars that makes up 70 percent of the stars in the Milky Way galaxy. The discovery of Kepler-186f confirms the long held theory that planets the size of Earth exist in the habitable zone of stars other than our sun. This means that with similar climate profiles like earth, life similar to earth may exist elsewhere in the universe.
The "habitable zone" is defined as the range of distances from a star where liquid water might pool on the surface of an orbiting planet. While planets have previously been found in the habitable zone, the previous finds are all at least 40 percent larger in size than Earth and understanding their makeup is challenging.

Raghu Kalra
General Secretary AAAD
Physicists R. Nemiroff (of APOD fame) and his student Teresa Wilson, recently published their results of a grand internet search to look for evidence of time travelers. In a nutshell they were looking for 'time traveler activity' over the internet, say a timer traveler used his time machine to move back in time and say…send an email, or put information online about world events that just happened way before it actually did. Time travel to the future is allowed by special relativity, however there is much debate if we can actually go back in time.
The search as you may have expected didn't turn out much …. but made for a pretty good story.

Happy Equinox
The Autumn equinox happens today Sept 22nd at 2044 UTC. This moment marks the official end of summer in the Northern hemisphere and hopefully New Delhi too! Hopefully the weather gods will get the memo too. The autumn equinox marks the time of equal length days and nights. From now on nights will become longer than days in the northern hemisphere. Hopefully that would mean that mortals can sleep a bit more.

Saturn at its best Opposition
Greetings Fellow Astronuts
Its a great time to go under the stars and look for Saturn. Today on April 28th the planet makes its closest pass to earth in all of 2013. Finding Saturn is easy. Just look south for a bright magnitude 0 star due west of Spica in Virgo.
Happy Hunting!

How can I make my non-union job Guild covered?
Far too many writers end up short-changing themselves by doing non-Guild covered work. Just because you're working on a non Guild production doesn't mean it can't become covered by a Guild contract. If you are doing nonunion work and want the benefits of Guild membership, such as employer contributions towards health insurance and pension, fair credit for your work and more respect on the job, then you need to contact us.
There are numerous strategies for changing your working conditions from nonunion to union:
- Some writers make it a condition of working for a production company that the company becomes a Guild signatory.
- Some discover that other people who are doing similar work for the same company already have a Guild contract and the non-members can leverage that to obtain their own contract.
The possibilities are many and the Guild wants to work with you to figure out the strategy that works best for your situation. Your call is kept confidential.
Call the Organizing Department at (212) 767-7808 and let's figure out the best way for you to get your work covered under a Guild contract.
Who can become a Guild member?
The fundamental requirement for becoming a WGA member is that you are hired to write by an employer who is signatory to a WGA contract.
Studios hire writers, small production companies hire writers, writers self-produce, and any of those scenarios can be Guild-covered work--many already are. However, if you are a working writer in one of our jurisdictional areas but are not covered by a Guild contract, it doesn't have to stay that way.
Please contact the Organizing Department at 212-767-7808.
Also visit the Organize section for more information.
Which Guild do I join?
The Writers Guild of America, East and the Writers Guild of America, West are two separate entities but work in concert with each other. Writers living east of the Mississippi River join the Writers Guild of America, East and writers living west of the Mississippi join the Writers Guild of America, West. However, after you join the Guild, your residence has no bearing on your Guild affiliation. You need only notify us of your new address.

producer blanchers
anyone have a good blancher that you can recommend I buy to use before freezing green beans and sweet corn (on the cob)?
or better tips to freeze the garden produce (peas, bean, sweet corn, pumpkin, beets...)?
Re: producer blanchers
To blanch. you only need a pot of boiling water and big bowl of ice water!---Virginia says blanching kills the flavor and we NEVER use that method because our produce comes out fresh just like it came off the plant!----That is the way it goes into the freezer,--just had a big ole bag of peas from the freezer today, nice green color GARDEN FRESH flavor!
The blanch(partial cook) makes veggies taste horrible (stale) when you get them out of the freezer!(no color/they are tough/and no flavor!)
We know people who do this and complain that their frozen stuff is no good!
The biggest mistake that they make is in not getting the fresh veggies directly form the garden and get it processed within an hour after harvesting!(farmers market produce is not good enough quality either!---get it DIRECTLY from a real garden,(yours or a neighbor/friend/ect. close by) and NOT getting the air out of the bags.---also make sure that you use FREEZER bags,--NOT food storage bags! thanks; sonny and virginia
Re: producer blanchers
Sonny, how do you freeze sweet corn, on and off of the cob?
Re: producer blanchers
we tried it bothe ways ()blanched and unblanched) with the corn i couldnt really tell the difference. now with the peas i like blanched but not to long or they will taste bland like Sonny said. i will not freeze snap beans. always will put them in jars and i think i like tomatoes from a jar better than freezing. but freezing is quicker and easier just my opinion
He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: Proverbs 12:11
Re: producer blanchers
We use several methods of preserving our produce. Freezing is one of them. (Now that we have the storage space for the jars, Canning is our preferred method for the majority.)
Process all produce promptly after harvesting.
Freezing: If you have a food saver sealer use it, if not ziploc freezer bags work just fine. It is a good practice to label and date the bags. Make sure you get as much air out as possible. (Tip: I have heard that you can use a straw to help by zipping the top of the Ziploc around the tip of the straw, and sucking the air out of the bag. then pinch the straw closed and quickly remove it while pressing the seal.) Once sealed Quickly put them in the freezer. We usually put stuff in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator and freeze; once frozen transfer bags to the chest freezer.
you can blanch or not blanch (some people swear by blanching others swear by not) I prefer not, but ...
For blanching you'll need a large kettle with a lid, and a wire basket that fits inside (not required but it helps otherwise you have to fish the vegetables out with a slotted spoon.) The kettle should be large enough to hold a gallon of water for a pound of fresh vegetables. You will also need a large bowl or another kettle of the same size (that will hold the basket) filled with Ice Water.
Begin counting your blanching time when you put your vegetables in the water. rule of thumb: Cool for the same amount of time as you blanch.
Green Beans:
Harvest the green beans at their peak maturity (firm, straight, not lumpy). You begin by heating a gallon of water to boiling , while the water is heating, prepare the green beans by cleaning, snapping, and removing blemishes and strings if necessary. After the water comes to a full rolling boil, place the green beans in the wire basket, and lower them into the boiling water. Cover the kettle, and allow the green beans to remain in the boiling water for three minutes. Immediately immerse the green beans in ice water to stop the cooking process, and leave them in the cold water for three minutes before draining. Put beans in a single layer on a tray and freeze for 30 minutes. Transfer to bags, get air out, seal and return to freezer.
We just clean, pack tightly in freezer bags, press air out and seal. Been working for us for 30 years. Retains color and flavor and texture.
Corn on the Cob:
Harvest the corn at its peak maturity (milky fluid in the kernels, kernels tender, (easily punctured with your fingernail) and not bloated). Immature corn is watery when cooked and overripe corn is chewy and doughy. Husk the corn and pick off as much of the silk as you can. A soft vegetable brush is the fastest and easiest way to get the remaining silk off - just don't be too rough with it. You will need a Large pot of boiling water, a big bowl or another large pot and Plenty of ice - about 1 tray per ear and cold water. Minutes to blanch per Ear size: 7 minutes for small ears (1 1/4 inches or less in diameter), 9 minutes for medium ears, and 11 minutes for large ears (over 1 1/2 inches in diameter). NOTE: super sweet varieties require 2 minutes less. Cool in ice water and drain and pat dry. Tip: Wrap each ear individually with saran wrap and place the wrapped ears in the freezer bag. You still need to get as much air out of the bag as you can. (When you want to use it just put it into boiling water straight from the freezer. You'll want to cook it for the least amount of time it takes to get it hot (normally about 5 minutes). Any overcooking, either before freezing or when you are ready to eat it, will make it mushy.
No Blanch--With Husks: cut the corn off the stalk really close to the corn....Peel back the husks leaving them attached to the ear....remove as much of the silks as possible (you can use a wet paper towel to help with this). Pull the husks back up around the ear in layers overlapping and covering all the corn. twist the husks at the top to help keep it in place and put in ziplok bags or use the vaccume bags. Can stay frozen up to a year like this. To cook: bring water to boil (can add a little sugar to water and salt if you wish) put in the corn and boil about 3-5 minutes....Drain immediately.
No Blanch--Remove the husks, and put the corn in Freezer Ziplok bags, (DO NOT WASH OR GET WET) when ready to cook, bring water to a rapid boil, drop in the frozen ears, return the water to boil, turn down the heat and let the corn simmer about 15 to 20 minutes.
You will use less freezer space with the corn OFF the cob.
If you are going to cut it off the cob blanch only 4 minutes.
Whole Kernel Corn:
After blanching, Cut kernels from cob about 2/3 the depth of the kernels. hold the ear by the small end, and slide the knife down the ear.
Not blanched but Cooked and Frozen:
16 cups (1/2 a bushel) whole kernel corn
5 cups water
1/2 cup margarine or butter
8 teaspoons sugar (can be left out if the corn is sweet)
1 teaspoon salt
Combine corn, water, margarine, sugar and salt in a large saucepan or dutch oven. Bring to a boil. Boil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool by setting pan in a sinkfull of cold water and stirring occasionally. When cool, spoon into freezer containers or plastic freezer bags and freeze. We use freezer bags and lay them flat to freeze so they stack nicely.This yields 4 quarts.
Cream Style Corn:
After blanching, Cut kernel tips about 1/2 deep and scrape the cobs with the back of a knife to remove the juice and the heart of the kernel.
Another way to prepare cream style corn for freezing is to cut and scrape the corn from the cob without blanching. Place the cut corn in a double boiler, and heat with constant stirring for about 10 minutes or until it thickens; allow to cool by placing the pan in ice water.
Shell, wash and blanch 1 minute. Chill in iced water 1 minute. Drain and place on tray or baking sheet in a single layer. Freeze for 30 minutes. Transfer to freezer bags, remove air, label and seal. Return to freezer.
We don't let the peas get wet in any way. Just shell, put in bag, get air out, seal and freeze.
Only freeze young tender beets, not more than 2-3 inches across. Cook until tender, peel and slice. Cool and transfer to plastic containers.
Peel and cook in boiling salted water until tender. Mash, cool and pack into plastic containers leaving head space. Alternatively, peel and cut into pieces. Bake until almost done. When cool pack into freezer bags, remove the air, seal and label.
Hope this helps. Thanks; Virginia
Re: producer blanchers
You're making me hungry! Don't confuse blanching with cooking. Blanching is to set the natural sugar from becoming carbohydrate. Over blanching can make the veggies taste starchy. We blanch sweet corn for 60 seconds because it has a lot of sugar. Peas and beans have less sugar so cut down the time maybe 30 seconds. Instead of starting a long post why don't we all get together next fall and let the taste guide science.

Re: producer blanchers
thanks for the step-by-step process. last year I did not do a good job with what I froze so I appreciate the help.
Re: producer blanchers
From the National Center for Home Food Preservation:
I blanch just about all vegetables that I freeze. As others here have said, it is imperative that you do not over-blanch. You want to destroy the enzymes, not cook the produce. Larger items take longer to blanch so try to pick smaller vegetables or break large items like broccoli into small parts. I have done both blanched and unblanched an in taste tests at home we have preferred the blanched.
Here is the pot that I use. It could be a bit larger though.

Re: producer blanchers
MY WIFE FREEZES hers on the cob with some of the shuck left on
Re: producer blanchers
TJG!!!-- You will have to adjust the actual time to your taste, these blanching times stated were from SEVERAL STATES UNIVERSITY EXTENSION SERVICES, and all seem to say the same.
We NEVER blanch our produce due to the fact that we have found(from personal trials) that it kills the flavor and texture.
Everyone will have to decide what method they want to use.
We also have a steam do-all that can (according to manufacturer , be used for blanching IF you wanted, but it would take much longer in it )---also cost prohibitive and NOT recommended for all veggies. ---we got it many years ago to do apples in and make sauce from the steamed pulp and jelly and syrup from the juice. So we didnt include it in the other post.
If the long post offended anybody, FILE AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT AGAINST VIRGINIA AND ME WITH FARMALL CUB. COM ADMIN!!!! I asked Virginia to help me make a FACTUAL post and the original question was NOT a yes or no type question, it required research and made a little longer post.---We were only trying to help! Respectfully , sonny and virginia!

And help you did!!

Re: producer blanchers
No need for you or Virginia to apologize for the long post. A question was alked and you answered completely and clearly. Some things cannot be said in 10 words or less. I enjoyed the post. Can never get too much knowledge about anything.
Thanks for the post, you and Virginia.

For Immediate Release
September 28, 2011
Media Contact:
Daniela Oliver, 210.805.1754
MEDIA ALERT: Members of the press are invited to the McNay for the members preview of The Orient Expressed. Tuesday, October 4 at 5:00 pm. Interview oportunities with guest curator,Gabriel P. Weisberg, PhD, and McNay representatives.
The McNay Prese nts an Exhibition about the East Inspiring the West
Visitors to The Orient Expressed (October 5, 2011 to January 15, 2012) may experience the cultural phenomenon known as Japonisme, the Western world's fascination with all things Japanese in the late 19th century, arousing the imagination of artists and consumers alike. More than 150 Japanese-inspired works of art and decorative objects are on view at the McNay this fall. Paintings and prints by Mary Cassatt, William Merritt Chase, and James Ensor; as well as decorative arts by Gorham, Sèvres, and Tiffany & Co.; showcase Western artists' appropriation of Japanese aesthetics.
After Commodore Matthew C. Perry of the US Navy negotiated the opening of Japan to the West in 1854, Japanese art spread rapidly as it was widely and avidly collected by both European and American artists and art critics. Japonisme impacted the visual arts as well as architecture, graphic design, literature, music, theatre, and all aspects of the decorative arts including fashion. Western artists adopted Japanese emphasis on nature, along with asymmetrical compositions, bold colors, and rich patterns, moving away from Western academic tradition.
Organized by the Mississippi Museum of Art, The Orient Expressed is curated by Gabriel P. Weisberg, PhD, professor of art history at the University of Minnesota and a noted authority in the field. To complement The Orient Expressed, the McNay's exhibition Cassatt and the Orient: Japan's Influence on Printmaking is also on view.
A wide array of educational programs is offered in conjunction with this exhibition. Please visit mcnayart.org for more information.
