Post subject: Amiga flame wars (part 2)
Hi again all. I've recently sent in a letter to PCPlus magazine. It was sparked by
the original article by Alex Cox, (in PCP #283) and then it's response
by a reader in PCPlus (#285).
(To paraphrase, Alex waxed lyrical about the demo scene of the late 80''s
and early 90's. (Alex being an Atari user). And then the subsequent
response from a former Amiga sceen'er. (Who was a little bit put out by
the apparent lack of any kind of mention of the Amiga and it's contribution
to the demo scene).
I was wondering what anyone else thought, (as we have quite a few old
Amiga fans in here as it is).
-- My letter sent into PC Plus =
Amiga - Old flame wars part 2
After a recent letter in PC Plus magazine (#285), It re-occured to me that
the Amiga never really gets its due, (in respect to the contribution it made
to the computer scene as a whole).
It was sparked by a reader called Nik, who was a little irked by the
offending article in PCP #283, and its apparent bias in regard to the
demo scene. Whilst I agree with the author Alex Cox (in that, he was an
ST user and that he was talking about his memories of "his" scene).
I'm talking about a much more general perception.
The Amiga was a HUGE success (particularly in the UK, Germany, and
the USA).
If it wasn't for the disastrous managerial decisions, the Amiga could have
been a serious contender for the dominant home desktop OS.
How can anyone forget the seminal titles released for the machine?
Deluxe paint, Pagestream 2, Final copy 2, Octamed, Blitz Basic,
Lightwave, Cinema 4D,
The awesome games
UFO Enemy Unknown, Monkey Island 1 & 2, Settlers, Super Frog,
Alien Breed (all of 'em) Cannon fodder, Sensible soccer, Stunt car racer,
Chaos Engine, Eye of the Beholder 1 & 2, Frontier, Lemmings,
Far too many to list here.
And of course Aminet (at the time, it was THE LARGEST collection of
software for ANY platform in the world!)
And in particular the ease of use of the OS (Workbench). The ability to
configure almost anything about the machine. TRUE multitasking! Years
before the PC got anywhere close to it. The multimedia capabilities were
again, far in advance of the PC at the time.
C'mon, an entire OS running from 1 floppy disk! I remember running a 1MB A-500+,
and having a whopping 800k of free ram for games, apps, ect.
(I know these have been rolled out before but...Amiga's were used to
create the GFX for Babylon 5, Jurassic Park, Seaquest DSV, amongst
others. They were also used in NASA, and to control some of the rides at
Disney, and were used in other prestigious organisations.
Then there's the Amiga scene itself (not just the demo scene, but the
whole Amiga computer scene). The diskmags (grapevine was a firm
favourite). Anyone remember mail trading, or the vast collection of PD
and shareware software for just a few quid.
So how about an article, to redresses the balance? Orestis Bastounis (we're looking at you).
Thanks in advance.
-- End of letter.
So what does everyone else think? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts
and opinions.

Hi GeordieJedi
You may do with this as you please, even forward to that forum if you wish...
Let`s face it the Atari crowd haven`t got anything similar...
Ode to the AMIGA.
Twenty years ago, almost to the day,
A new breed of computer was about to come our way,
Known as the A1000 it took us all by storm,
Using mouse and GUI, it soon became the norm.
At first it didn't do much, until we got it tamed,
Then all of a sudden, the graphics modes were famed,
HAM images of a little girl, (of which I have a file),
NTSC "Lores" and beat the competition by a mile.
There was stereophonic sound coming from the ports,
When listening from an amplifier, what must have been our thoughts,
This audio was a sample, or a generated sound,
Even speech was heard, and on no other machine could be found.
There was a 32 bit processor, known as the sixty eight K,
It ran at 7 mega-hertz, and we all went, oooh... weh heh,
Its memory range was small, but more than enough for us,
It could boot into a GUI from floppy without a fuss.
Custom chips were used in this machine, to do any difficult task,
Affectionate girly names were given, so what were they? you might ask,
Agnus, Paula and Denise were the three that did their best,
To give us hours of pleasure, be-it games, drawing and the rest.
Other chips were used also, to talk to the world outside,
Bi-directional parallel port and analogue games port to deride
All of the opposition which could barely look one way,
Outgoing or Incoming, not BOTH like those MIGGYs of the day.
Soon it became apparent just how powerful it was to be,
So out came the A500 with up to Workbench one point three,
Much smaller and much better and also had a proper ROM,
Was bought for "Johnny Whizzkid" for Christmas, from DAD and MOM.
Over the years this mighty tool, was overtaken by the foe,
Technology has gripped us and the MIGGY is in a state of woe,
The A500, the A600 and the A1200 have come along,
With Big Box AMIGAs also to join the happy throng.
To try and make a come back, the new AMIGA has taken on
More up to date PC hardware, and they have called it the A 1,
But I have written this on my A1200, in what's known as YAM,
And to me, it was the best "export" to come from Uncle SAM.
Although we're twenty years further on, from the first A1000 made,
The seeds of MULTIMEDIA and digital convergence had been laid,
All of the competition cannot say they were to invent this word,
It was the A1000, attached to which this word was heard.
To finish off this ode to the "grandfather" of them all,
MULTIMEDIA and digital convergence could have taken a major fall,
If it wasn't for the foresight of the original design crew,
(C)2005, B.Walker, G0LCU.

Finally parted with my Amiga last weekend
A1200 with an 040 accelerator and 32MB ram, Eyetech tower case, a4000 keyboard, Multisync monitor, 3 hard disks, Cd drive, 10/100 ethernet card, etc,etc
Plus hundreds of CDs and floppy disks, some magazines and full set of manuals, books, etc.
Before I shipped it to its new owner, I fired it up and was amazed at how quickly it booted, how quickly programs launched, etc.
But... I have not played computer games for years, unless you count World of Goo..., and even with a multisync monitor, not really any good for the sort of things I need, so the need for space and wanting to see it in a good home finally won me over.
The sig between the asterisks is so cool that only REALLY COOL people can even see it!

I loved my A600 (and later A1200). Definitely the computers I had the most fun with. However, Commodore deserved to die -- it really was a clueless company.
Take the CD32 console: Commodore bundled the console with various games, one of which was Captive II: Liberation, a stunningly deep, rich and absorbing 3D adventure that received rave reviews.
Then there's
Dangerous Streets
, an utterly appalling, unplayable disaster and one of the worst games I've ever come across.
Guess which game Commodore ran as the lead hit on the box? Bunch of cretins.

Well I still develop for the classic AMIGA under the guise
of WinUAE and do final tests on the real thing, (A1200).
I`m afraid the ST never got a look in, I borrowed one from

Thanks for all of your input so-far lads!
I started out with a (shared with little brother) A600. Spent many, many
happy hours playing games, using Dpaint and some utills.
After a year or two, finally got sick of sharing, so saved up and bought an
origional A500 with only 512K (spent £35-40 on another 512K mem
expansion board!) from a friend at college.
I remember playing UFO enemy unknown (esp) well into the night.
Yep.....30-90 mins per computer turn......arrgghh.
I then bought a CD-32 from a friend back home with a shed load of games
(still have 'em). I might have to disagree with Mike here, as I had Rise of
the robots, & I think that was complete and utter $hit3!
Then I saved up again and bought my beloved A1200! (I actually missed
out on a trip to majorca with my friends from college for that!!).
But once again, I spent countless hours playing games, but by that time I'd
progressed to messing about with utills, more Dpaint IV and even some
Blitz Basic. Plus lots of PD and shareware software too.
Myself and a few friends even managed to make a daft little diskmag
with magnum pro?
Even bought another A1200 from a friend at my first workplace (as the first
A1200's diskdrive fell to pieces!) Infact, it's still up in the loft. And my
eventual plan is tower it up (once I get my own place, with enough space
to store all of my "precious" gear).
I recently threw out a good 500-1000 floppys, but I've kept all of my
originals, (I've still gotta finish Eye of the beholder 2, Indy & the fate of
Atlants, & again UFO enemy unknown!)
Sorry for the long post.
I suppose I'll always be an Amiga man at heart.

Hi GeordieJedi...
I think it is the little things we miss:-
Fast boot times.
A dynamic RamDisk.
A bootable RAD:
A full OS on one floppy.
Instant drag`n`drop.
Still able to run any file from the trashcan before final delete.
Direct access to ALL of the HW, none of all this driver bo**ocks
that has to be updated continually because of bugs.
4096 colours, producing great results on TV sets in 1985.
Multimedia long before all this crap we have today.
Image digitisers that were cheap WRT PC stuff of the day.
Sound Samplers, Music generators, (D)Paint? packages
and many others that set the standard for today.
Sadly however it is a has been, but, I still love it and still
build and develop for it even now.
How many 24+ year old systems still have Python ported
to it, OH YES, the mighty AMIGA in all its guises.
It was so good that people still use it today as a main or
second machine.
There is a guy on one ML I am on that uses his A4000, as
his main server......
And a very bright young man he is too...
Says it all really...

Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman has been on a tear at the plate lately, and his hot bat netted him the National League Player of the Week Award on Monday.
Zimmerman led the Majors with 15 hits and 32 total bases in eight games last week and finished second in the NL with a .500 average and .571 on-base percentage. He also hit five home runs and posted a 1.067 slugging percentage, both second in the Majors, and he scored nine runs, tied for the most in the NL, while driving in eight.
The 27-year-old recorded a hit in seven of Washington's eight games last week, with five multi-hit performances. He scored the game-winning run on a wild pitch in the bottom of the 10th inning of Tuesday's 5-4 victory. He finished the week strong as well, going 3-for-5 with two homers and three RBIs in Sunday's 9-2 win.
Since receiving a cortisone shot in his right shoulder on June 24, Zimmerman has batted .392 with a 1.255 OPS, 11 homers and 28 RBIs in 25 games. His 14 home runs on the season put him in a four-way tie for second among NL third basemen, all trailing Pittsburgh's Pedro Alvarez.
This is Zimmerman's third career weekly award and his first since August 2011.

CHICAGO -- Mike Scioscia and Dusty Baker, former teammates, longtime friends, and opposing managers in last year's World Series, sat at the table heading the room for the managers' press conference for the 74th All-Star Game and smiled.
Despite the much more relaxed nature of this festive, honorary setting, one thing couldn't be hidden by the hoopla.
Once they get on the field Tuesday, both men want to beat the other team's brains in.
But first things first.
Scioscia, the Anaheim Angels' skipper, and Baker, who managed the San Francisco Giants last year and now commands the Chicago Cubs, entertained a full room of writers with their lineups and opinions on a number of issues they've had to deal with since qualifying for some of the most sought-after mid-summer jobs in the country.
He also gave a slight nod to MLB higher-ups by mentioning the new rule that awards the winner of the game home-field advantage in the World Series, something Scioscia's Angels took advantage of in 2002, prevailing in seven games over the San Francisco Giants.
"For the first time, the players had a strong voice in who was selected, and they were selected by their peers, which is very meaningful," Scioscia said. "It's a special group."
"And I'm excited because there's a little bit more on the line. It's more interesting for fans and media. As far as the players are concerned, though, pride has always been the motivating factor over the years.
"I've played in two All-Star Games and I know from experience that we always took a lot of pride in representing our league, and that pride dictates that everyone will always play hard and try to win."
Scioscia sat next to his AL starter, White Sox right-hander Esteban Loaiza, who was a Spring Training non-roster invitee by Chicago but has baffled hitters all year, compiling a 12-5 record and a 2.21 ERA.
"He's had an incredible arm for many years," Scioscia said. "It's a good feeling when a guy has so much talent and puts it together the way he has this year."
Scioscia then tabbed Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki as his leadoff man and right fielder, penciled in New York Yankees second baseman Alfonso Soriano in the No. 2 hole, then put Toronto's slugging first baseman, Carlos Delgado, third in the order.
Hitting cleanup is shortstop Alex Rodriguez of Texas, followed by Scioscia's own team MVP, left fielder Garret Anderson, who was voted onto the team by the players and replaced injured Boston slugger Manny Ramirez in the starting lineup, in the No. 5 slot.
Said Scioscia of his decision to go with Anderson instead of Toronto's Vernon Wells, who has more RBIs than Anderson: "He's been the most underrated player in the game for a long time, but he's the most deserving and he fits the best in the lineup."
Batting No. 6 will be Seattle's venerable designated hitter, Edgar Martinez, followed by center fielder Hideki Matsui of the Yankees, Angels third baseman Troy Glaus and Yankees catcher Jorge Posada.
Once the Q&A portion of the conference began, Scioscia tackled a number of popular questions, including how long he would keep pitchers in the game, specifically Toronto ace Roy Halladay, who was thought to not be participating because of the concerns of his manager, Carlos Tosca.
"We all have to be sensitive to pitchers' careers and arms and how much gas they have in the tank," Scioscia said. "Roy Halladay is available. I talked to Carlos about it and he can pitch. I'm not going to tell Dusty for how long or when, though. Then he'll start to formulate a plan."
Scioscia said he and his staff, which includes his pitching coach in Anaheim, Bud Black, would take a poll of the pitchers during Monday workouts to find out how they feel.
When asked if his managing strategy would change based on the new home-field advantage rule, Scioscia brought up some interesting points.
"I've looked at it a lot of different ways," he said. "It's tough to manage for matchups, so I'll have to apologize to a lot of guys in advance who might not play."
"But I believe that the home-field advantage is not as big as people make it out to be. Last year, we had to get through two series where we didn't have the home-field advantage.
"We had to get through New York (in the AL Division Series), where we lost the first game, then Minnesota (in the AL Championship Series), where we lost the first game. It's more important how you're playing than where you're playing. Having home-field advantage gives you a slight edge, but it's not the end-all thing."
Scioscia then mentioned that Loaiza might go longer than the prescribed three innings if he is pitch-efficient and that he likes the makeup of his bullpen, which includes setup men Brendan Donnelly of the Angels and Shigetoshi Hasegawa of the Mariners instead of the usual full slate of closers.
"It gives us the opportunity to do some things a little more differently," Scioscia said.
"I'm looking forward to that."
So is Baker, a fact that Scioscia didn't try to ignore.
"What makes this so much fun is how competitive Dusty is," Scioscia said, before turning to Baker and cracking his first joke of the week.
"You make any trades yet, Bake, or are we good?"

When you write an autobiography as candid as Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor did with "My Beloved World" - among the many topics explored were a lifelong battle with diabetes, her father's early death from alcoholism and her failed marriage - people apparently feel free to ask you almost anything.
And so one of the questions sent up at a sold-out event Wednesday night sponsored by the Smithsonian Associates came from a dental hygienist named Casey.
"Do you wear dentures?"
No, Sotomayor answered, but there's a story there: The smile featured on the book jacket took a lot of work on the part of a dentist who became one of her best friends.
She said she was introduced to the woman the year before she became a judge, at a function held by a mutual friend. The two talked on and off.
"At the end of the evening, she came up to me and said, 'You're such a warm person. Why don't you smile more?'" Sotomayor said she didn't know.
The dentist replied, "I think you don't smile because you're ashamed of your teeth."
As was the case with many children of the 1950s, Sotomayor said, her mother had taken strong iron supplements and that led, among other issues, to children with "poor, poor teeth."
The dentist was right, Sotomayor said. "There is not hardly a picture of me as a child, or before I met my dentist, that has me smiling . . . with my teeth showing."
The process must have taken some time - Sotomayor reported a dental debt on her financial disclosure forms when nominated for the Supreme Court in 2009 - and she said the two women became so close that the dentist's son is Sotomayor's godson.
When they watched the televised news conference where President Barack Obama announced Sotomayor as his choice, the boy turned to his mother, according to Sotomayor, and said, "Mommy, you gave her a million-dollar smile."
Sotomayor, raised in a Bronx housing project in a household where only Spanish was spoken, dispensed loads of self-help advice and scant inside-the-Supreme Court insight before a packed Lisner Auditorium at George Washington University.
At the outset, it was announced she would not address any issue before the court. She strayed from her own story only to briefly say the judiciary should be more diverse - not just racially or ethnically, but in life experience. For example, there are far more former prosecutors on the bench than former defense or civil rights lawyers, she said.
But mostly she expanded questions and readings from her book into love-yourself messages.
"So for those of you who have things that affect your self-image, there are things that can be done about it," she said during the discussion of her teeth.
"Those are the things you should look at, because those are the things that can help you feel better about yourself. And that really did help me. I started opening myself to other people."

|There is quite a bit of confusion when trying to determine which ramps are safe to use when loading golf carts. People have frequently asked if they could load golf carts with ramps that are not recommended for golf cart use. Bob Kay, Vice President of Discount Ramps took the time to answer in his own words:
|Why, are IA-9012-2 or AFP-9012-2 ATV ramps not recommended for use with a golf carts?
|We do not recommend these ramps for electric golf carts because 75% or more of the weight on these carts are on one axle instead of being equally distributed on 2 axles like ATV's. Golf Cart batteries are typically placed in the rear and the weight of the driver sitting over the rear axle adds even more weight on the that axle. This causes too much stress on the ramps so we do NOT recommend these lighter ramps for golf carts. We always recommend the heavier duty ramps with higher weight capacities for loading vehicles that do not have equally distributed weight across both axles.

Karina's Gluten-Free Carrot Cake Recipe with Coconut and Cream Cheese IcingRecipe posted June 2006.
Once in a blue moon I get a hankering for this old school classic. Lucky for me it translates well to gluten free. This recipe is based on one of my own [pre-gluten free] standbys. I changed it very little, except for the flour.
Ingredients:Please note: This recipe has no added leavening because it is using a leavened baking and pancake mix.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease a 9-inch Springform cake pan.
Cream Cheese Icing
4 oz. softened cream cheese
2 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
1-2 teaspoons vanilla extract, to taste
3 cups powdered cane sugar- or more, if needed
A squeeze or two of fresh citrus, to taste- lemon, lime or orange
In a mixing bowl beat the cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add the vanilla. Add in the powdered sugar a cup at a time; squeeze a little lemon or other citrus juice into the frosting and beat till smooth. Taste test. Add more sugar, if needed, to thicken; add more juice to thin.

Karina's Notes:
For replacing Pamela's Baking Mix, I used to say just try another leavened GF baking mix or GF pancake mix- but I no longer believe all GF mixes/GF flour blends behave the same way. You'll need to experiment.
Gluten free cakes tend to dry out quickly. If you are not serving this cake the day you bake it, I'd advise chilling it to firm up the icing; wrap well and chill. For more than a day ahead, I would wrap and freeze it; thaw the day of serving (remove the wrap so the icing doesn't stick!) and served slightly chilled.

Illuminator is a good poster. He sticks to his guns and makes good points. Some don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t like that.
Freeman was horrible intermediate passer this year were typically the best passers shine.His numbers sit at 47% on those type throws, 6 td's and 8 int's.
Quote from: Hate on January 21, 2013, 10:35:45 PMFor those that say Free needs more time with his WRs to improve timing/accuracy, how do you explain the success of others with equal or in some cases lesser time with their WRs?First of all, Josh was 24 then.Second, it is the defenses fault.
For those that say Free needs more time with his WRs to improve timing/accuracy, how do you explain the success of others with equal or in some cases lesser time with their WRs?
I hope he gets fat again. I liked fat Freeman.
The past few years Freeman was throwing a lot of 5 yard passes to K2 vs. deep balls to Jackson. If we get a good receiving TE and a solid slot receiver, hopefully his completion percentage increases. The question is will he read his progressions or lock in to one receiver. That and the oline is healthy and gives him the time to not panic. The one thing that is painfully evident when you think about Peyton Manning and Tom Brady is the horshoe that surrounds them MOST of the time and gives them 2.5 seconds or more to complete a pass.
He looked good with his dink and dunks in 2011, so it's definitely a problem with the scheme rather than his own talent. He's always been a jumpy person, but he's never sucked this much at short passes.
Freeman by design is one of the most inaccurate passers in the league and anyone apologizing and making excuses for it are a sad bunch. That being said, if we draft a guy like Tyler Eifert who can be another weapon that can bail Freeman out with his unbelievable ability to adjust for the ball in the air, Freeman's intermediate range accuracy issues MAY look a little less problematic.

Flowering trees are amazingly beautiful, but capturing a quality picture of just them (not them as part of a larger landscape) can be challenging. Isolating a small part of the tree and letting the rest of the tree become blurred is one option - at least when using this lens or one similar to it.

Washington Redskins

|2011, 5th round, 24th pick by Redskins
Assessing where Redskins, Seahawks, Bills stand
With only three teams having hired new head coaches since the end of the season, NFList looks at the pros and cons facing the new field bosses in Buffalo, Seattle and Washington.
Redskins begin process of remaking O-line
The Redskins made two moves last week that were the first steps in the rebuilding of the offensive line, which was one of the worst units on the team this past season.
Would Haslett consider 3-4 for Redskins?
One of the interesting possibilities for new Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett could be the inclusion of some 3-4 looks and schemes in Washington.
Eagles hire April to coach special teams
The Eagles landed highly regarded special-teams coordinator Bobby April, signing him before the Redskins or any other team could land him.
Redskins hire Haslett to coordinate defense
The Redskins agreed to a deal with former Rams and Saints head coach Jim Haslett to be the team's defensive coordinator, according to various reports.
Redskins' Bugel retires after 32 years in NFL
Redskins assistant Joe Bugel, who spent 15 of his 32 NFL seasons coaching with the team, announced his retirement on Wednesday.
Rooney Rule has failed yet again
The Steelers point to head coach Mike Tomlin as proof that the Rooney Rule works, but most teams appear to sidestep the rule, writes Eric Edholm.
Could Redskins' Portis, Campbell both be gone?
There was a clear division between what new Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said about QB Jason Campbell and RB Clinton Portis, both of whom have questionable futures in Washington.
Redskins introduce Shanahan as coach
Standing before a packed media room, new Redskins GM Bruce Allen introduced new head coach Mike Shanahan and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we've got our man."
Shanahan becomes Redskins' new head coach
The Redskins have moved quickly to change their on-field leadership, firing head coach Jim Zorn early Monday and completing contract negotiations with Mike Shanahan on Tuesday evening as the long-rumored successor.
No surprise: Redskins fire Zorn
The Redskins fired head coach Jim Zorn early Monday morning after their return from Sunday's game in San Diego, GM Bruce Allen has confirmed.
Redskins' Campbell prepares for unknown future
There have been no indications that QB Jason Campbell will be a Redskin next season, though it's difficult to say what will happen to him until a new coach is hired.

Model: A3O-SV-LP-CRM
Durable cast iron covered by three coats of vitreous enamel in one of 12 colors.
An annual and 10-year preventive maintainence are recommended.
- Must be installed by a certified AGA fitter.
- Please note that using anyone other than a certified AGA fitter will void the product warranty.
- 15,000 BTU burner.
- Simple cleaning of ovens and cooktops with wire brush.
Venting Options
Standard Flue configuration only.
Fuel Options
- Natural Gas
- Propane
5 year parts and labor
Roasting Oven
Roasts and grills beautifully and is big enough to fit a 28lb turkey. Radiant heat means food keeps its natural succulence and flavour.
Baking Oven
Heated to an ideal moderate baking temperature - ideal for cakes, biscuits and bread.
Slow Cook Oven
Simmers perfectly by constantly maintaining the oven at just the right temperature for long, slow cooking. This develops flavors and will make even the toughest cut of meat melt-in-the-mouth tender.
What to Expect
From a toasted sandwich to a perfectly risen soufflé, an AGA Cooker excels at every style of cooking. AGA cakes are fluffier, stir-frys wonderfully fast, roasts more succulent and pizzas perfectly crisp. There's nothing an AGA oven cannot do - and everything it does, it does better.
AGA Ovens are Easier to Maintain
Choose an AGA Cooker and you'll notice that the time you spend cleaning is greatly reduced. That's because the ovens and hotplates of an AGA Cooker are virtually self-cleaning. It's simply because they're always on - any spillages are carbonized, so all you have to do is give it the occasional brush out.
No Lingering Food Smells
As you cook in your AGA ovens, food aromas are drawn away and extracted via the flue. This means if you're cooking something pungent like fish, the AGA Cooker will help keep smells to a minimum.

108 In Need Of Rescue (infuriating grill spring story)

Re: 108 In Need Of Rescue
These are disc brakes and there is still lots of pad left on one side but on the other side they are right down to the rivets. I guess the brakes weren't adjusted evenly. If I use the glue that Big Bill used and glue new pads on should I remove the rivets or leave them and drill holes in the pads to slip over them?
Re: 108 In Need Of Rescue
Steve, It should be easy to drill out the "rolled" side of the rivet and then punch them out. If you want to replace the rivets, you'll need to find the right size of semi-tubular rivets. The pad has to be drilled and countersunk, and then you need a rivet set to roll the rivet over.
"We don't need to think more,
we need to think differently."
-Albert Einstein
Re: 108 In Need Of Rescue
Suggest replacing both pads at the same time.
Rivets, you are going to have to remove, along with any friction material remaining on the metal portion of the pads. I have repaired the rivet on brake linings but never the glue on type.
Sample links to firms that supplies friction material and repair brake bands.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: 108 In Need Of Rescue
Hey Steve...GOOD JOB You're coming right along with your Cub Cadet 108 Don't forget about running some Seafoam through your engine mixed with the gas in your gas tank. That will help your valves and valve seats, as well as stabilize the fresh gas you've put in the tank, and help get rid of the gunk in your carb. ...'Country'

Re: 108 In Need Of Rescue
I've been doing some painting on the little tractor. Not having a spray rig nor able to afford an expensive auto quality paint job, this is Rustoleum spray can paint. It's their 'Painters Choice 2X' marigold and navaho white. Next I need to get at those wheels.I think the CC 108 looks a lot better than when I first brought it home plus it now has working clutch and brakes and runs real good. I'm almost more proud of "Little Cubby" here than I am of the 1950 Farmall Cub and 1945 Farmall A (well, almost).
Edit to add...
Almost forgot to brag up the old 42" deck.
Re: 108 In Need Of Rescue
That Cadet is looking good! It's a good feeling to bring one back to life isn't it?
Your thread has motivated me to get back to work on my Cadet, thanks for the update and keep up the good work,
Re: 108 In Need Of Rescue

Re: 108 In Need Of Rescue (starter/generator?)
I'm hearing what I think may be noisy bearings in the starter/generator. I don't see any oil cups. Are they permanently sealed? Are they difficult to replace?
Re: 108 In Need Of Rescue (starter/generator?)
Sealed bearings. Usually not overly difficult to replace.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: 108 In Need Of Rescue (starter/generator?)
Thanks Eugene and everyone else for all the help. If I needed new bearings and brushes for the starter/generator where might be a recommended source?
Re: 108 In Need Of Rescue (starter/generator?)

Re: 108 In Need Of Rescue (infuriating grill spring story)
While working on my 108 project I found that removing the front grill was so easy... and dropping one of the springs was even easier. It took me an hour and a half to find it that first time. So after installing a new wear button for the front pto yesterday the last thing I carefully attempted to do before firing her up to engage the mower deck for the first time was to try and put the front grill back on. I dropped a spring again! In the dirt and leaves. It took me and a metal detector and a magnet and my tri-focals and cataracts another hour and a half to find it again. When I did it was like finding the holy grail! I had it in my hands for all of maybe 30 seconds when I dropped it AGAIN! This time it seems be gone forever, maybe in the Twilight Zone or something. So I have the grill wired on for now and the one spring I still have is now bright cadet yellow so it will hopefully be easier to find the next time I drop it in the dirt...
The mower deck seemes to work just fine. Now if I only had anything to mow besides brown leaves and lost springs...

That looks Great! Really good job on it, makes me want one now.

Re: 108 In Need Of Rescue (infuriating grill spring story)
Like Archie Champbell used to say on "Hee-Haw" when someone described their problem..... "don't do that!" Your grass and leaves are like the crack between the garage floor and the apron outside. A big black hole, where nothing comes back from. Got to get some grout in that crack.

Re: 108 In Need Of Rescue (infuriating grill spring story)
You did some really nice work and in a hurry. That falls in the category of, "wish I could do that":
The spring, drop -find -drop again in 30 seconds - Gremlins, nothing else just Gremlins! Maybe someday they will put it back in clear sight. Could be you walking along and all of a sudden see a spring, and wonder how you ever missed it?? Gremlins.
You got some fine looking machines.

McCutchen wins NL weekly honors for first time
All-Star center fielder hits .517 with three homers as Bucs go 6-1
Prior to competing in Monday night's 2012 State Farm Home Run Derby, Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen was named the National League Player of the Week for the first time in his career for July 2-8.
McCutchen won the honor after hitting a blistering .517 (15-for-29) with three homers, nine RBIs and 11 runs scored in seven games. Along with notching four three-hit games in that seven-game span, he led all Major Leaguers in average, runs and total bases (27).
After starting the week with a four-hit game in an 11-2 Pirates win over the Astros, McCutchen rolled through the week and produced a fitting end to an impressive first half with a three-hit, two-homer game Sunday against the Giants.
The 25-year-old's dominant performances helped guide the Pirates to a 6-1 record and raised his average at the All-Star break to a Major League-best .362. He also finished the first half tied for fourth in the NL in homers (18) and third in RBIs (60).
Just last week, McCutchen was named the National League Player of the Month for June.

CINCINNATI -- One day last month, Cincinnati Reds utility infielder Ryan Freel noticed a television crew following Dayton Daily News baseball writer Hal McCoy. Freel, who since has been sent to Triple-A Louisville, asked a reporter to explain the lights, camera and action.
Freel was told that McCoy has continued to do his job despite being legally blind, and that the camera crew happened to be from ESPN, which was featurizing the writer's saga for its Outside The Lines series.
"Wow!" Freel exclaimed. "I didn't know that about Hal!"
This reflects the triumph McCoy has mined from his trauma. He still functions normally and performs admirably, though his sight is neither normal nor enviable.
Last December, McCoy learned that he had won the Hall of Fame's J.G. Taylor Spink Award, the highest honor a baseball writer can receive. Slightly more than a month later, he suffered a malady known as Ischemic Optic Neuropathy in his left eye, rendering everything dark and fuzzy. His sight already had been hampered by a stroke behind his right eye in 2001.
Suddenly, the man considered by many peers as the quintessental baseball writer wondered if he could continue working. But McCoy has survived by doing something that comes naturally to any Major Leaguer. He adjusts.
McCoy can follow a groundball or a line drive within the infield, but balls hit to the outfield instantly disappear. So he watches the batter when he hears the crack of the bat. "What I picked up during Spring Training was that the hitter looks which way he hits the ball," McCoy said.
Obviously, his powers of observation remain sharp.
"What does that tell you about the man's ability to assimilate information? It's just remarkable," said Terry Pluto, the esteemed Akron Beacon Journal columnist. "He's 62 going on 42."
McCoy also packs a magnifying glass with his notebooks. He bumps up the type size on his laptop to 16 points. He wears tinted glasses to reduce glare. Recently, he began wearing a patch over his right eye to help his left eye regain dominance.
Yet these are merely technical aspects of McCoy's daily grind. It's the personal side of his ordeal that makes his tale so compelling. In his 31st year of covering the Reds, McCoy has seen his constant loyalty, friendship and professionalism reciprocated.
"The classic thing -- treat your brother as yourself -- he epitomizes that in a business where that's seldom done," Pluto said.
"It doesn't get any bigger than to be in the Hall of Fame. Yet you'd never know it by hanging out with him," Tampa Tribune columnist Joe Henderson said. "He could lord his status over everybody and he doesn't do it. Hal opens doors for people and a lot of guys in the business are not quite as generous as he is, shall we say."
The cascade of affection and concern has genuinely humbled McCoy.
McCoy has been bolstered by his wife, Nadine, who has sustained him with a mixture of love, humor and toughness. McCoy admitted calling her three or four times during Spring Training to tell her he intended to quit; she'd say, "No, you're not. Don't give up because you have one bad day." Or, gently poking fun at her husband's inability to focus on faces, she'll inform him, "I look more like Marilyn Monroe every day."
McCoy also has been backed by his newspaper, which has distinguished itself by employing two other Spink Award winners, Si Burick and Ritter Collett. Aware of McCoy's unique place in the sportswriting realm, executive sports editor Frank Corsoe and the Dayton Daily News' management have encouraged his efforts to stay on the job. For example, since McCoy no longer can drive, the newspaper has arranged for him to ride to and from each home game with a staffer. On the road, McCoy takes taxis or rides to the ballpark with other Reds beat writers.
Yet it was a Reds player who might have been most instrumental in keeping McCoy on the beat. After struggling to find his luggage at the Sarasota, Fla., airport and stumbling around his condominium, McCoy felt beaten as he arrived at the Reds' complex for the opening of Spring Training. Third baseman Aaron Boone, who delights in studying other people's mannerisms, quickly noticed something was wrong.
Boone then gave McCoy what amounted to a pep talk.
"He kind of looked a little discombobulated," Boone said. "I said, hey, what are you doing? He came over, told me what was going on with him and said, 'I think I'm going to have to hang it up.' I said, no, that's not good enough. We sat there and had a little talk about it. I said, we'll help you out, you can still do this."
Said McCoy, "To look around and not recognize the players -- I was ready to cry right there. I pretty much had tears in my eyes. That's when Aaron noticed me ... He said, I don't ever want to hear you say the word 'quit.' You love this job too much to give it up that easily, and I just said, 'You know what? You're right.' So I decided I was going to do everything I could."
Thursday, on the eve of his departure for Cooperstown to accept the Spink Award, McCoy renewed his thanks to Boone.
"I told him in the clubhouse, 'If you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't be here,' " McCoy said.
To Boone, the credit belongs with McCoy.
"He's certainly gone on and proved that he can do it and I think it's been kind of an inspiration for a lot of people around the country," Boone said. "It's turned into a great story. Though I'm sure he has his difficult moments in private, I think the support system he's found -- whether it's his family, his newspaper, the baseball community, us, you (reporters) -- sometimes it takes something like this to realize how much good there is out there. He's one of those guys who's doing what he should be doing. His time to not do it anymore is not there yet."
Numerous writers are glad McCoy's still one of them. Even before his vision failed, McCoy commanded an unusually high level of respect. Now, he's revered even more.
"Hal McCoy is the real Big Red Machine," said John Lowe of the Detroit Free Press. "He has chronicled the Reds with daily passion and thoroughness from Sparky and Rose through Griffey and the new ballpark. To any of us interested in covering baseball well, Hal is the template of hard work, critical thinking and enthusiasm. He is the first active beat writer to go into the Hall of Fame. No one has to say he 'was' good at this or that. All anyone has to do is read that morning's Dayton Daily News, and they will understand why Hal is a Hall of Famer."
"I've read stories about Lou Gehrig, his classiness and reliablity, the respect people had for him and his lack of ego -- and that reminds me of Hal," Pluto said. "For him to decide, 'I'm going to set my roots down in Dayton,' and not use this to capitalize on a job in New York or Chicago, that's really admirable ... Hal just wants to get good stories, not stories that make him look good."
"He represents the ultimate in not just work ethic, but ethic, period," Henderson said. "I've always been impressed with the fact that he could have been real chummy with Pete Rose, and yet when Pete did what he did, Hal had the guts not only to report it but aggressively report it. That couldn't have been a real popular thing to do back then. That, to me, is the mark of a true professional, and that's Hal McCoy."
Baseball was an obsession for McCoy long before it became his profession. Shortly after his father, Harold Sr., returned from serving in the Philippines during World War II as a sergeant in the Army, they began playing catch in the backyard at their home in Akron, Ohio. The young McCoy was a typically erratic left-hander as he threw to his dad. "We had outdoor plumbing and he always stood in front of the outhouse. I put a numerous amount of holes in that thing," McCoy said. Pretty soon, McCoy was attending Cleveland Indians games with his dad, worshiping the likes of Larry Doby, Bob Feller and Al Rosen.
McCoy graduated from Akron East High School in 1958, having played baseball with future big-league shortstop Gene Michael and basketball against NBA legends-to-be Nate Thurmond and Gus Johnson. He graduated with a degree in journalism from Kent State University in 1962 to find 12 job offers awaiting him.
"Everybody who got out of J-school had those kinds of job offers," McCoy recalled. "Nowadays it's the other way around. There's one job for every 12 graduates."
The equipment McCoy began his career with provided another example of the contrast between then and now. He filed his first stories with a typewriter. "Every sportswriter had an Underwood Olivetti," McCoy said. "They had teletype operators in the press box. You'd type your story on Western Union paper and hand it to a teletype operator who'd type it into your office. And of course they'd re-type it on a linotype machine. So there were about eight different ways errors could creep into your stories."
Errors rarely crept into McCoy's coverage, however. Earl Lawson, the 1985 Spink Award recipient who covered the Reds for 34 years for The Cincinnati Post, saw to that by taking McCoy under his wing.
"I watched him from my first year in 1973," McCoy said. "He basically said, 'Shut up, kid, follow me and watch me,' and I did it for two years. He introduced me to everybody he knew, which was a lot of people in baseball, people I still know today. And that's the way he treated me -- the way I try to treat everybody else. If anybody wants help from me, I'm more than willing, because I know what Earl did for me. I don't think I would have survived this beat without what Earl taught me."
Lawson died in January, denying McCoy the pleasure of sharing his Spink Award ceremony with his mentor. But McCoy's dad, 85 years young, will be among the legions of family and friends present. They'll hear an acceptance speech from McCoy that will cite what brought him to this point -- and what has kept him here.
"Now I know how much I love this job," said McCoy, "and how much I'm willing to go through to stay with it."

College rankings are seemingly available everywhere, but they're often confusing and haphazard in terms of criteria.
According to a 2012 survey of college freshmen by the Higher Education Research Institute, 88% said getting a "better job" is "very important" — above things like becoming a more "cultured person" and learning "more about things that interest me." The desire to "make more money" hit an all-time high, with 75% saying it was very important.
With this in mind, The Daily Beast analyzed nearly 2,000 four-year, degree-granting colleges and universities in the U.S., using publicly available data and data collected and published by College Prowler, an online guide created by students that ranks hundreds of colleges on everything from the intelligence of professors to attractiveness of students. Criteria for The Daily Beast's rankings includes future earnings, quality of education, affordability and diversity.
Here are the top 10:
1. Yale
2. Massachusetts Institute of Technology
3. Stanford
4. Harvard
5. Columbia
6. Princeton
7. University of California, Berkeley
8. Williams College (Williamstown, Pa.)
9. University of Virginia
10. University of Pennsylvania

TORONTO -- The Blue Jays claimed left-hander Tommy Hottovy off waivers from the Rangers on Thursday afternoon.
The 31-year-old appeared in nine games for the Royals last season while posting a 2.89 ERA in 9 1/3 innings. He spent the vast majority of the year pitching for Triple-A Omaha of the Pacific Coast League, where he recorded a 2.52 ERA with seven saves in 50 innings of work.
Hottovy was designated for assignment by Kansas City at the end of the year before joining the Rangers. The former fourth-round pick in the 2004 First-Year Player Draft has appeared in 17 games during his Major League career.
To make room on the 40-man active roster, the Blue Jays designated right-hander Chad Beck for assignment. It's the second time this offseason that Toronto has removed Beck from its 40-man roster. Beck was previously placed on waivers and claimed by the Pirates.

Family sues NYC transit authority over push death
NEW YORK (AP) - The family of a man who died after allegedly being pushed into the path of a New York City subway train has filed a lawsuit against the city's transit authority.
The lawsuit filed Friday by the family of Ki-Suck Han seeks unspecified damages stemming from his December 3 death. It accuses the Metropolitan Transportation Authority of negligence.
Police say a homeless man admitted pushing Han onto the tracks but said Han was drunk and instigated the confrontation.
Naeem Davis has been charged in Han's death and is being held without bail. His attorney has said Han went after his client.

TRAINING: I am flying to Russia without my fiancé, setting up a training base in Krasnogourbinsk with only Steve Maze and Ricky Lundell to accompany me. I will be throwing heavy logs, chopping down trees, pulling an overloaded snow sleigh, jogging in heavy snow and treacherous icy conditions and climbing mountains.

Do you have any heroes? My Dad
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It will make explaining the type of fighting I do a lot easier. I no longer have to go into a big explanation of "Have you seen the UFC? I do that, but haven't fought there yet." I can just say, "I fight in the UFC".
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? Wentworth in Boston, MA. Graduated with a Bachelor's in Computer Science
What was your job before you started fighting? I worked in Tech Support while a student.
Accomplishments in pro competition? A few titles in Combat Zone, World Fighting League and Mass Destruction.
