PARIS -- As the Alpine glacier melted, a curious discovery emerged after decades beneath the ice: a plane wheel, a shoe – and an intact pouch of Indian diplomatic mail from 1966.
It all appears to be part of the wreckage from an Air India plane crash that hikers and a rescue worker found this week on the slopes beneath Mont Blanc.
Rescuer Arnaud Christmann said the hikers alerted the tourist office in Chamonix that they had seen something beneath a glacier that looked like a wheel. He went to investigate and found pieces of the plane and "a gift from the mountain," a bag containing Indian and English newspapers from 1966 and other documents, labeled "diplomatic mail."
The Indian Embassy in Paris confirmed the discovery but gave no details.

CHICAGO -- Kerry Wood is used to having four days between starts. On Tuesday, he had four innings to get ready.
The Chicago Cubs pitcher came on in relief in the fourth inning for the National League team in the All-Star Game and threw one scoreless inning.
Wood gave up a single to Anaheim's Garret Anderson on the second pitch then struck out Seattle's Edgar Martinez on a called third strike. Wood got the Yankees' Hideki Matsui to ground into a fielder's choice, forcing Anderson at second, and then fanned Anaheim's Troy Glaus to end the inning.
"A loss is a loss. You hate to lose," Wood said.
Wood and teammate Mark Prior, both first-time All-Stars, were designated relievers Tuesday night at U.S. Cellular Field. And they knew what side of town they were on. Both were booed during the player introductions by the crowd. This is the South Side of Chicago.
Prior actually stayed in the dugout for the entire game. He was not expected to pitch after bruising his right shoulder in a collision Friday with Atlanta's Marcus Giles at Wrigley Field.
"After what happened (Friday), I felt I was a guy who was like the emergency guy," Prior said. "I'm not upset that I didn't get in the game. I had a great time just sitting there watching."
The closest Prior came to a game ball was when Atlanta shortstop Rafael Furcal's errant throw sailed into the dugout and came close to clipping Prior.
"That came close," Prior said. "Marcus put out a bounty on my head. It was pretty close. It came in pretty hot. I got out of the way in a hurry. It was real close. About a foot."
He did stay on his workout schedule Tuesday. Part of his cardio work included running up the steps in the stands at U.S. Cellular Field about five hours before the first pitch.
"I'll just play catch before the game, long toss and then hang out and wait for the phone to ring," Prior said before the game. "I think that's what they do down there. I have to learn the bullpen thing."
Cubs catcher Damian Miller had prepped both Wood and Prior about the All-Star thing. Miller gave the pair some advance notice regarding the amount of items they had to autograph.
"I expected it," Wood said. "Damian gave me a crash course the other day. Everybody wants to get stuff signed."
Including Wood, who had made certain he had a jersey autographed by all of the National League All-Stars. He plans on framing it.
Milwaukee's Richie Sexson asked Wood to sign a cap.
"It's because he strikes me out every (darn) time," Sexson said.
Wood also was excited about the goodies he received from the various corporate sponsors, including a video game that he played until 2 a.m. Monday. He also got a radar gun -- "I can gauge the dog running around the backyard," he said -- and a cooler with his name on it.
The All-Star experience has been just that, an experience. Prior went to Fan Fest Tuesday.
"I'm having a good time," Prior said. "There are a lot of great players here. It's been a blast."
With one exception.
"The Home Run Derby is great and all but I don't like seeing the ball go out of the ballpark a whole lot," said Prior, sounding just like a pitcher. "Just getting a chance to meet everybody and having a good time is a blast."
"It seems like it's gone fast forward," Wood said.
The event marked the first time Prior came face-to-face with Barry Bonds since hitting him with a pitch May 1. Bonds took a few steps toward Prior but Miller had intercepted the slugger before he could get to the young pitcher. Did Prior say anything to Bonds?
"I said hello," Prior said.
Wood has plenty of familiar faces around. Cubs manager Dusty Baker brought his coaching staff, including pitching coach Larry Rothschild and bullpen catcher Benny Cadahia. Baker gave the National League players a pep talk before the game.
"He congratulated everybody," Wood said. "He said, 'Don't get hurt' and that we're all here to win the game."
It's been really cool.
"I could make a habit out of this," Wood said.

SUNBURY, Pa. — Authorities said Saturday they're investigating possible other murders by a young married couple charged with luring a central Pennsylvania man to his death with an adult companionship ad on Craigslist.
Elytte Barbour, 22, and his wife of seven weeks, Miranda Barbour, 18, recent residents of nearby Selinsgrove, Pa., were arrested this week for the stabbing death of Troy LaFerrara, 42, of Port Trevorton, Pa., a month ago and dumping his body in an alley here, said Sunbury Police Chief Steve Mazzeo.
Police said Elytte Barbour confessed the couple had been planning a thrill killing for some time with adult companionship ads for wealthy men on Craigslist but couldn't pull it off until the encounter with LaFerrara.
A police affidavit in the case said Elytte Barbour told investigators he hid under a blanket in the backseat of the couple's SUV when they picked up LaFerrara at a Selinsgrove mall Nov. 11, driving him to an isolated location in Sunbury. Barbour said he then wrapped a cord around the unsuspecting victim's neck to restrain him while his wife stabbed him 20 times with a knife and took his wallet.
Afterward, Barbour told investigators, they dumped LaFerrara's body in a dark alleyway, purchased cleaning materials to remove blood stains from the SUV, and spent the rest of the night celebrating Barbour's birthday at a strip club in the state capital of Harrisburg.
The murder went unsolved for more than three weeks, but investigators eventually traced the last call received on the victim's cellphone to Miranda Barbour's cellphone. She was charged with LaBerrara's death Wednesday. Her husband was arrested and charged on Friday.
Police said Miranda Barbour is the mother of an 18-month-old child, and that Elytte Barbour told investigators the biological father had died before the couple moved to central Pennsylvania from North Carolina.

2014 Satchmo SummerFest presented by Chevron Breaks Records
The premier American Jazz Festival dedicated to the life, legacy, and music of New Orleans' native son Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong draws tens of thousands of fans
French Quarter Festivals, Incorporated (FQFI) closed the 14th annual Satchmo SummerFest presented by Chevron on Sunday, August 3rd with a trumpet tribute dedicated to Louis Armstrong and longtime festival friend and musician, Lionel Ferbos. As the tribute, led by Kermit Ruffins, played a rousing rendition of "Happy Birthday, Louis", festival-goers were treated to birthday cupcakes. Located at the Louisiana State Museum's Old U.S. Mint in the French Quarter, the festival is free and open to the public.
2014 breaks records: Last year Satchmo SummerFest made history by welcoming its first ever title sponsor, Chevron, expanding the Festival to three full days, and nearly doubling attendance numbers from 2012. This year the event continued to attract record crowds. 2014 figures indicate that over 57,000 gathered to pay tribute to Armstrong and immerse themselves in the culture, food, music, and everything that New Orleans has to offer. Great weather and an incredibly strong lineup contributed to the success; opening day performances by John Boutte, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, and Wycliffe Gordon drew crowds that continued to grow throughout the weekend.
Satchmo SummerFest featured two stages of music which included genres such as traditional jazz, contemporary jazz, and brass bands. The event also included many uniquely New Orleans events such as the opening day second line with the Roots of Music and Sunday's Jazz Mass at historic St. Augustine Church in Treme. Each day artists paid tribute to Lionel Ferbos, who passed away on July 19th.
With the close of another successful Festival it is clear that Satchmo's influence, as an artist and cultural icon, is universal, unmatched, and very much alive today. Satchmo SummerFest is a cherished event for locals and tourists, with strong attendance from international visitors who came from Japan, Canada, England and other parts Europe. Hotel occupancy was at 98 percent on Saturday, August 2nd. This has a very positive impact on summer tourism in New Orleans, enhanced by summer marketing campaigns launched by the Louisiana Office of Tourism and the New Orleans Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau.
French Quarter Festivals, Inc. organizers have already started planning the 15th annual celebration, which will take place July 30-Aug 2.

The set's co-producers, Scott Wenzel and Ricky Riccardi, will host an animated discussion on how the set came together, all the pitfalls they had to avoid, and detective work required to get it released. The Wall Street Journal has said, "There's a copious amount on these Mosaic discs of truth, beauty, spontaneous joy and technical prowess". Many examples will be played during this conversation. As a special bonus, copies of this very limited-edition Mosaic set will be available for purchase all weekend at Satchmo Summerfest!

Rouses had record sales at French Quarter Festival 2014, selling over 40,000 pounds of boiled crawfish and over 5,000 servings of their Crawfish Boil Boudin. Beers sales were also up: Abita reports 905 kegs (up from 632 in 2013) and over 800 cases of beer. Progressive Waste Solutions has reported 210 tons of garbage from the festival grounds this year, and Pelican Ice delivered 236,160 pounds of ice— up from 200,000 pounds in 2013.
The award-winning festival, which began in 1984, has grown to become the largest free music festival in the United States. Twenty-one music stages throughout the French Quarter presented the best in New Orleans music, representing every genre from traditional and contemporary jazz to R & B and New Orleans funk, brass bands, folk, gospel, classical, cabaret, opera, Cajun, Zydeco, world music, international, as well as a musical stage for children. Over 115 food and beverage booths located in Jackson Square, Woldenberg Riverfront Park, Decatur Street, and the Louisiana State Museum's Old U.S. Mint made up the "World's Largest Jazz Brunch", a signature event featuring authentic local cuisine from renowned area restaurants, many of whom have been with the Festival throughout its entire 31 year history.
FQFI officials worked with Capital One Bank and Hotard to continue free shuttle service to the festival for a fifth year. Free to ride, Capital One sponsored the 'Second Line Shuttle,' which was routed from the Central Business District to Canal Street Friday-Sunday. To accommodate festival goers Friday through Sunday, the New Orleans Police Department closed down most streets of the French Quarter to traffic – ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for locals and visitors alike. Fest goers enjoyed dancing in the streets at the new Popeyes Brass Band Jam located at the U.S. Mint and the returning Bienville Statue Stage (the Chevron Cajun Zydeco Showcase) and enjoyed the historic neighborhood. Very few events in the City are afforded such a traffic closure. New Orleans Police provided strong support throughout the weekend, alongside Fess, Inc.
French Quarter Festival relies on strong community support to present the 'kickoff to festival season in New Orleans' – with over 2,000 volunteers, over 280 musical acts, numerous generous sponsors – including the New Orleans Musicians Union AFM Local 174-496, corporations from all over the state who sponsor musical acts at festival, New Orleans Police and Fire Departments, EMS, permitting assistance from the City of New Orleans and partnerships with Parks and Parkways, Audubon Institute, and the Louisiana State Museum, among others. New sponsors included GE Capital with Technology in NOLA, Louisiana Campaign for Tobacco Free Living, Lowe's Home Improvement, metroPCS with Samsung, Nicoll's Limousine, New Orleans Original Daiquiris, and Steinway & Sons.
What's New
The 31st Annual French Quarter Festival is April 10th-13th
February 5, 2014 — Planning is underway for the 31st Annual French Quarter Festival presented by Chevron. The event will take place April 10th – April 13th, 2014. Locals and tourism officials call French Quarter Festival 'the kickoff to festival season in New Orleans.' What started as a neighborhood festival and 'locals' event' has grown into the largest free music festival in the United States: the 2013 French Quarter Festival hosted over 560,000 local and out-of-town visitors and had an economic impact of over $246 million. In 2014, organizers will host some of New Orleans' finest restaurants at 'The World's Largest Jazz Brunch'; employ over 1,400 world class, local musicians; and create special and unique experiences for festival-goers.
Dr. John's first performance at French Quarter Festival since 1987
Sponsored by longtime Festival supporter, vendor, and friend – Tropical Isle
Dr. John embodies the best of New Orleans' rich musical heritage, and in 2014, he returns to French Quarter Festival for the first time since 1987. This will be his ONLY appearance at a major spring festival in New Orleans in 2014. Dr. John and the Nite Trippers will perform on the riverfront Abita Stage Friday, April 11th at 4:30 p.m. In what promises to be an incredible musical evening, Dr. John will be followed by the Roots of Music with very special guests, and Grammy award-winning Rebirth Brass Band. Longtime Festival supporter, vendor, and friend – Tropical Isle – has generously provided the support to bring Dr. John back to French Quarter Festival.
Riverfront construction ends and brings the launch of a new music stage: Big River Stage
Year after year, French Quarter Festival is voted 'locals' favorite' while also attracting a tremendous out-of-town audience. A huge part of the appeal is that attendees get a true and authentic New Orleans experience – a broad range of Louisiana artists and a diverse variety of musical styles and genres. Since 1984, French Quarter Festival has been committed to featuring New Orleans' finest artists every day of the festival, on stages all over the French Quarter. The tradition continues in 2014, when FQFI unveils the Big River Stage with a diverse mix of talented artists that includes Davell Crawford, Paul Sanchez and the Minimum Rage, Glen David Andrews, Jeremy Davenport, New Birth Brass Band, Eric Lindell, Jon Cleary & the Absolute Monster Gentlemen, Flow Tribe, Diablo's Horns, George Porter, Jr. and Runnin' Pardners, Lynn Drury, Russell Batiste & Friends with The Wild Tchoupitoulas featuring Jason Neville, Egg Yolk Jubilee, Big Chief Bo Dollis & the Wild Magnolias, Casa Samba Extravaganza, The New Orleans Suspects, the Iguanas, and more. The Big River Stage will feature music daily, on April 10, 11, 12 and 13, 2014.
Popeye's Brass Band Jam at the Old U.S. Mint
Brass bands are moving from the Riverside Legacy Stage (formerly located on the riverfront) to the new Popeye's Brass Band Jam Stage at the Old U.S. Mint. Barracks Street will be closed to traffic, adding more to the 'pedestrian playground' and street party feel of the Festival. Popeye's Brass Band Jam will feature Leroy Jones' Original Hurricane Brass Band, Hot 8 Brass Band, The Original Pinettes Brass Band, Treme Brass Band, Audacity Brass Band, Lagniappe Brass Band, Onward Brass Band, Corey Henry's Treme Funktet, The Original Pinettes Brass Band, Andrew Hall's Society Brass Band, Orleans Brass Band, and more. Popeye's Brass Band Stage will run April 11, 12, and 13, 2014.
Return of the Chevron Cajun Zydeco Showcase to the Bienville Triangle:
French Quarter becomes a Pedestrian Playground
The Chevron Cajun Zydeco Showcase launched in 2013 at the Bienville Triangle (North Peters near St. Louis Street). It was such a hit with festival fans, that it will return for 2014. One of the most popular stages at Festival, the 2014 lineup includes: Big Easy Playboys, Waylon Thibodeaux Band, Beausoleil avec Michael Doucet, Corey Ledet, Brandon Moreau & his Cajungrass, Bruce Daigrepoint Cajun Band, Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band, Amada Shaw, Feufollet, Nathan and the Zydeco Cha Chas, Babineaux Sisters Band, Rusty Metoyer and the Zydeco Krush, Sean Ardoin-n-Zydekool, Roddie Romero & the Hub City Allstars, Les Freres Michot, Sunpie and the Louisiana Sunspots, the Lost Bayou Ramblers, and more.
It's all about the music: the very best live, local music across 21 stages
Please see attached release for a mostly complete day-by-day lineup of the 2014 French Quarter Festival. Festival organizers will bring back the 'Chevron Evening Concert Series.' This year's Chevron Evening Concert Series artists include Nathan and the Zydeco Cha-Chas, Rockin' Dopsie and the Zydeco Twisters, and Roddie Romero & the Hub City All Stars.
French Quarter Festival's Musician Sponsorship Program continues to grow. Local business Tropical Isle provided funding to support Dr. John's performance, and so far in 2014, over 50 other individuals, foundations, and businesses have signed up to support local musicians by 'adopting an artist'. Sponsors come from all over the United States – from California to Maryland – and are helping to keep French Quarter Festival free for the community. The 2014 French Quarter Festival will feature over 1,400 local artists. The Festival is still seeking 2014 sponsorships. Contact Georgia Rhody at (504) 522-5730 or email email@example.com for more information.

Reset: Stephen Kinzer's Vision of a New U.S. Relationship with Turkey and Iran
by Robert Naiman, Wed Jun 09, 2010 at 10:11:56 AM EDT
Until quite recently, it seemed that Turkey had a clearly defined role in the Middle East, from the standpoint of U.S. policy. They were the "good Muslims," who were part of NATO, who contributed troops to U.S. wars, and who had good relations with Israel.
In the past few weeks, therefore, some Americans may have been startled to see the government of Turkey seemingly playing a very different role. First, together with Brazil, Turkey negotiated a nuclear fuel swap agreement with Iran to defuse the standoff over Iran's nuclear program and forestall a controversial U.S./Israeli push for new sanctions against Iran at the U.N. Although the deal was very similar to one proposed by the Obama Administration - and Brazil and Turkey had a letter from Obama encouraging them to press forward with the deal - Obama Administration officials dismissed the deal, and far from being grateful to Turkey and Brazil, made a show of being angry. But instead of being chastened, Turkey and Brazil insisted their deal was good - invoking their letter from Obama to demonstrate their case - and insisted that the U.S. should pursue it.

Colby Simms of Illinois with two good-sized largemouth bass. / Gary Engberg/For Wisconsinoutdoorfun.com
A nice bluegill. / Gary Engberg/For Wisconsinoutdoorfun.com
Guide Ron Barefield with a early spring largemouth bass. / Gary Engberg/For Wisconsinoutdoorfun.com
Crystal Lake, located in Dane County, is just a few miles east of Sauk City and the Wisconsin River off Highway 60. This 500 acre lake is relatively shallow with a maximum depth of about 10 feet, but it continues to produce fish.
Im amazed every year at the numbers of crappies and bluegills that this lake gives anglers because it is fished heavily in the spring and also in the winter. This lake is extremely fertile and in the middle of farmland, but allows anglers from shore to catch as many fish as those in boats early in the season.
The crappies you catch on Crystal Lake are not as big as those that you may catch on Lake Wisconsin, but it is possible to catch enough fish in a few hours for a few good meals. One should sort through the fish and try to keep the bigger ones and release the smaller fish. By bigger, I mean keep those fish over 9- to 10-inches and let the others go to grow. Shore fishing continues to be good till the summer weeds and algae sets in and makes shore fishing difficult as the spring progresses.
The DNR. has rip-rapped the south-west shoreline with big boulders that are good to fish from and provide good cover for both forage fish and the panfish. Early in the season, the weeds are just emerging and have a good green color to them. The crappies and bluegills will be in the weeds or just slightly above them. A good way for the shore angler to fish is to walk the shoreline making long casts till you find the aggressive fish. If you have stable and warm weather, theres an excellent chance that the fish will be biting.
Another good location for early season action is the east-end of the lake where youll find numerous stumps and wood which give cover to the bluegills, crappies, and largemouth bass.
More on fishing: Fishing news from around the state | Your fishing photos | Build a map | Read fishing reports
The equipment and gear that you need doesnt have to be expensive or complicated. First, you need an ultra-light rod about six- to seven-feet long which has an extra-fast tip and will allow you to make long casts to the shallows.
Second, have a decent ultra-light reel with at least three ball-bearings and have it filled with Berkley XL or Stren Original in green color and 4 lbs. test monofilament. The 4 lbs. line can really make a difference to finicky fish and the green color blends in well with the stained water.
Third, have a good assortment of ice fishing jigs in many colors, shapes, and sizes. Above the ice jig have a small split shot, and a slip float or as I recommend the rocket bobber. This float allows you to cast much farther than the standard float or bobber and get to the fish. Bait the jig with a wax worm or two and slowly work it back using a stop and go method. This rig works better for bluegills than crappies.
The crappies prefer minnows, so I use a small tube jig (baited with a minnow) and float or a #10 plain hook, split shot, and float. The stop and go retrieve seems to work best most days. Remember, to make a quiet or stealth approach with long casts to the bedding fish. The tried and proven 'Pinkie' jig under a float also works well.
Make sure that you have plenty of small ice jigs, tube jigs in assorted colors, and some small plastics to dress up your jigs for a day of fishing on Crystal Lake. Some days, the crappies will bite on wax worms, some days on minnows and other days on just the plastic on your jig. Its a good idea to have a couple of rods rigged differently till you find the right combination that day.
Crystal Lake is one of the best area lakes for early season crappies and also a great spot for taking the children because they will catch fish. The DNR boat landing is flooded, so youll have to pay to launch at Schoepps Resort on the west end.
Fish Lake is located next to Crystal Lake and contains a good fish population of largemouth bass, bluegills, northern pike, muskies, and a few perch. This 250 acre seepage lake is much deeper than Crystal Lake and is managed by the DNR for bass, bluegills and pike.
This little lake is tucked away in the rolling hills of Dane County and the reason why early season anglers come here is the largemouth bass fishing. Outboard motors are not allowed on the lake and this prevents many anglers from wanting to fish it. If you do, I suggest that you have a fully charged Minn Kota trolling motor (about 50 lb. thrust) mounted on a 14- to 15-foot jon boat or a smaller v-hulled boat. There is a good landing on Fish Lake Road with parking.
The season opens May 3 and the minimum size for bass is 18 inches and one fish. You should release bass anyway because they are not the best eating fish and I hate to take fish when they are vulnerable during their spawning period and on their spawning beds. The month of May gives you, depending on the weather, a shot at both pre- and post-spawn fish. Usually, by the first of June, the bass spawn is complete. These largemouths spawn in deeper water, so you cant always see the beds.
Being in farm country (farm run-off), there is an abundance of weeds (mainly milfoil), which takes over the lake from June through the fall. There is little structure (like points, islands, rock bars or humps) in this lake. The structure here is the vegetation and the flooded timber that surround the entire lake.
Largemouths reproduce in Fish Lake and do well. There are bass over seven pounds and four- to five-pounders are relatively common. They feed mainly on young of the year bluegills and perch in the lake. There also are various minnows (shiners) that are also forage for the big bass. There is no food shortage and this combined with the good cover means big bass.
Early in the season, spinner baits work well and also allow the angler to cover a lot of water. Good early colors are chartreuse and silver and white and silver. Pre-rigged worms and other plastics perform well when worked slowly through the emerging weeds. Casting a Berkley Power Worm or a Gulp Worm with no weight and letting the worm slowly fall to the bottom can trigger the big bass to inhale your bait before the heavy weeds emerge. Wacky rigging plastics, also is a good technique throughout the year.
As the weeds grow, Slop Frogs and Moss Boss in white and yellow are the hot baits! Casting big-lipped crankbaits outside the weed line will also catch fish all summer. The best colors are fire tiger, Tennessee shad, perch and bluegill all which match the forage base. Theres good oxygen in Fish Lake down to 28 feet where there is a thermocline. The lake also has a turn-over in the fall. The fall can produce fish, but the big girls usually come in the spring.

It's been a couple of years since I posted on the forum. My last one was regarding magneto timing back in 2009. I haven't had time to work on the Cub for a couple of years and sadly my Dad passed away in February so now I'm planning to haul it back to my house and try to get it running again. I've been looking at renting a trailer to pull it home. I have a small 5 x 8 garden trailer but it's way too small to haul the tractor. Has anyone rented a trailer from places like Sunbelt (at Lowes)? I figure I need one with a wood floor and capacity of around 3500lbs. Does anyone have a recommendation?
Re: Trailer for hauling Cub
U haul has a smaller trailer 5x9 utility with ramp. Make sure you get the ramp option. Perfect for just a tractor. If you need space for more stuff, go with the 6x12 with ramp. I've used both and they work great.
Re: Trailer for hauling Cub
Peter Person used to rent one from U Haul, before he bought one. Seemed pretty rugged. Ed

Re: Trailer for hauling Cub
Thanks for the replies. I took a look at the U Haul trailers and they do look like a good deal. I'll probably go with the 6 x 12 with ramp since the 5 x 9 has a weight limit of around 1,660lbs and the 6 x 12 has a limit of 2,600lb. I don't have the wheel weights installed and may carry them later. How much does a belly mower weigh?
Re: Trailer for hauling Cub
I've used the 6x12 for a cub and a ton of other stuff. Since it has surge brakes, it was not a problem.

Re: Trailer for hauling Cub
I also have used the 5x9 Uhaul trailer with a Cub and belly mower. It worked out fine and as stated before"cheap".

Re: Trailer for hauling Cub
I'd like to know who makes those great galvanized trailers for U Haul
Re: Trailer for hauling Cub
They build or have built the trailers to their own design.
Re: Trailer for hauling Cub
Thanks for all the advice. I rented a 6 x 12 trailer from U Haul and got the Cub back to my house safely. The only issue I ran into was having to flip the rear wheels around. They were oriented so their width was an inch or two wider than the opening for the ramp so I reversed them and narrowed it up a couple of inches then used a Come Along to pull it up onto the trailer.
I'll post a picture or two when I get a chance. Next up will be trying to start it up. I may have to revisit the timing issue I posted about a year or two ago.
Thanks again!
Re: Trailer for hauling Cub
Glad you were able to get your Cub home. Will be looking for the pics.

Re: Trailer for hauling Cub
Interesting that you mentioned having to switch the wheels around to fit it through the ramp gate on the 6x12. It seems that U-haul has changed their trailer style from a standard 6x12 with regular tailgate to a trailer with a ramp-gate. The ramp is nowhere near as wide as the trailer and really limits what you can put on it! When I went to meet the hauler who was bringing Lewis from Oregon to Minnesota, I used the 6x12 with the ramp gate. Lewis had the speed reducer on his final and was a little wide... I think I took a coat of rust/paint off of his wheel weights getting him through that gate.
Just something to be aware of for those looking to use those trailers with the ramp...I fear that any implements that stick out past the wheels will not allow the tractor to fit on the trailer...

City-Parish President Joey Durel was joined Feb. 2 by UL President Dr. Joe Savoie for his annual State of the Parish address at the Cajundome Convention Center. The State of the Parish address kicked off The Independent Weekly's 2010 Lecture Series, sponsored each year by IberiaBank. Joining forces for the first time this year, the two presidents laid out a vision of Lafayette's economic future that hinges on shared goals of the city-parish and the university.
Durel touted Lafayette's growing nationwide reputation as a center of innovation. City-parish government, he pointed out, has been invited to be part of a panel discussion at the upcoming U.S. Chamber of Commerce convention in Washington, D.C., to discuss such projects as LUS Fiber.
Early in the presentation Durel praised the resiliency of the Lafayette economy, which enjoys an unemployment rate (5.5 percent) well below the state average (7.5 percent) and far below the national average (10 percent), with a caveat: "There is no denying that the economic plight of the country has affected Lafayette. Our sales taxes continue to decline, and if there isn't a leveling off in the next few months, we will be forced to make some difficult decisions as it relates to cutting our budget."
Durel also mentioned new initiatives related to LUS' fiber to the home project, including an event April 20-22, FiberFête, during which technology experts from around the country will be in Lafayette to discuss and plan the city's technological future. "I'm committed to seeing Lafayette build on what's already great about our city and our parish by us becoming a leader in driving fiber-powered 21st century innovation," he said.
Overall, the joint presentation was short on timetables and funding mechanisms for their vision for Lafayette's future development, but long on cooperative-endeavor ideas for applying smart growth principles to UL-owned land in the heart of Lafayette. "It is important to recognize that the essential economic advantage of cities flows from their abilities to promote and encourage interactions among people," Savoie told the sold-out lunch crowd. "Cities work best and are most successful economically when they enable easy interaction among people."
Among the ideas mentioned:
• A performing arts center/entertainment complex at the site currently occupied by Blackham Coliseum
• Commercial development on Congress Street across from Cajun Field in the University Research Park that would include hotels, restaurants, shops, retail and residential spaces
• Transformation of the UL horse farm on Johnston Street into a passive, public park
• Conversion of Johnston Street into a boulevard
• Light rail transportation within the city
"All of this and much more will be addressed through a comprehensive plan," Durel said in closing.

AUG 21 Tom Aswell is telling us about another "efficiency" contract the state has signed. This one is paying a consultant (i.e. someone with a briefcase from out of town) $140 an hour, plus tens of thousands in air fare. The agency on the receiving end of this tender care? The DMV. Well -- that's working great, then.
AUG 21 This post on The Lens brings us up to date on the ongoing process of populating the levee board that will decide if the so-called Big Oil lawsuit will move forward. Gov. Jindal has done his best to put the kibosh on the suit by removing pro-suit members, but the process of replacing them is not simple, Bob Marshall tells us.
AUG 21 Here's Politico's coverage of Bobby Jindal's loss in the Common Core lawsuit this week. Interestingly, it boils down to dueling quotes from the judge who handed the administration its collective hiney and Kyle Plotkin. There's also commentary here about Jindal's flip-flop on the issue.
AUG 20 Education blogger Mercedes Schneider, as usual, is using her (not insignificant) teaching skills to give us the skinny on the recent court ruling on Common Core. Schneider gets into the details of legal strategy and argument at play here. As usual, it appears that Jindal's lawyers dropped the ball. Hey, at least they're consistent. (Or maybe Jindal didn't really want to win, he just wanted the Tea Party to think he wanted to win?)
AUG 21 Columnist Jim Beam is writing about ISIS in this post. The civilized world has to do something about this group and the atrocities its members are committing, he says. Maybe President Bush "blew it" in Iraq, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't do anything more, he says.
AUG 21 Blogger CB Forgotston is continuing his habit of announcing that he won't be running for stuff in this post on the Forward Now blog. He's also poking fun at State Police Commander Mike Edmonson (and his entourage, dubbed "Dork Dynasty" by some Troopers) and the Advocate. Apparently Edmonson isn't happy with people who are keeping this boondogle in the news. Awww.
AUG 21 This post on the NOLA Defender blog talks about some things that New Orleans and Ferguson, Mo., have in common. As a white woman, author Kezia Kamenetz says it isn't her place to talk about what the African-American community should do about the violence within, but as a human she can certainly call for fairness in the criminal justice system.
AUG 21 Columnist Stephanie Riegel is writing about the scandal that has rocked the LSU Alumni Association (to wit, the executive director's "girlfriend" also was his employee; when they "broke up" he started paying her, with alumni money, to keep her mouth shut). In particular, she's looking for some lessons to learn from the mishigas.
AUG 20 This post on the Texas Observer is a good one to read if you haven't bothered to pay much attention to the Rick Perry indictment. The pundits have collectively dismissed it as partisan politics - but the special prosecutor is a Bush man, and the judge is GOP. (They didn't mention THAT, did they?) It's a pretty good round up of what we do know, and more importantly, what we don't.
AUG 20 In this post, blogger Rod Dreher takes a look at the Tea Party's horror at David Vitter's reluctance to say he hates the Common Core with every fiber of his being. He also includes some commentary on the Tea Party's inability to tell news from satire. Hey, maybe that's why Facebook has to add those labels. Mystery solved!
AUG 20 This story in the New York Times updates the rest of the nation on the Common Core issue here in Louisiana, proclaiming that it is "dividing" the state. Unfortunately for Gov. Bobby Jindal, it is only a few sentences in before the author mentions that Jindal "ardently" supported Common Core when Louisiana joined the movement a few years ago, and the implication is that he's agin it now because he wants to be president and thinks that will help.

Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, is a green city with a large number of picturesque streets and squares and magnificent architecture.
Vilnius is situated on the River Neris in south-eastern Lithuania and has about 600,000 inhabitants. The historic city centre with its jumble of narrow streets and over 30 churches is a major tourist attraction. The Higher Castle Museum offers you a magnificent view over this Baroque part of the city.
Castle Street is also a major attraction. This street, called Pilies gatve in Lithuanian, was the main street in the Middle Ages, and still contains a large number of well-preserved palaces and merchants' houses. To the north of the old centre, there are the New City Centre, with a modern shopping centre, a new town hall and the 150-metre-high Europa Tower.

Torres claimed the National Assistant Coach of the Year honor from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) in January 2012 at the organization's awards banquet. He was also named the NSCAA Midwest Region Assistant Coach of the Year for the second straight year following recognition after the 2011 season. He played an integral role in Creighton's run to back-to-back College Cups as a member of head coach Elmar Bolowich's staff.
In 2012 he helped guide the Bluejays to a 17-4-3 record and their second consecutive appearance in a College Cup. Creighton won the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) regular-season and tournament titles for a second straight season. Along the way the Bluejays tied the MVC team record for the fewest goals allowed (one) in a Valley season set by CU in 2011. CU entered the 2012 College Cup on a 14-match unbeaten streak before falling 1-0 to eventual national champion Indiana in a national semifinal.
Three times in Torres' first five seasons on the Bluejay bench, the Creighton men's soccer staff has been honored as the MVC Coaching Staff of the Year, earning the nod in 2008, 2010 and 2011. His roles on the coaching staff include scouting, recruiting and training. He also plays a major role in working with student-athletes on service projects in the Omaha area.
Torres himself has always been active in service throughout his collegiate and professional playing days. He visited thousands of youth in the Omaha community in the 1990s. Torres was tabbed the Children's Miracle Network National "Hometown Hero" in 1996. A native of Medellin, Colombia, he was honored by the Omaha City Council with "Johnny Torres Day" on Oct. 27, 1996, in recognition of earning U.S. Citizenship just days before, his community service and his soccer skills.
Torres was named to the MVC All-Centennial Team in 2006 and in 2011 he became the first men's soccer player inducted into the Missouri Valley Conference Hall of Fame. In 1997 he won both the Hermann Trophy and the Missouri Athletic Club Award (prior to the combination of the awards), recognizing him as the National Player of the Year. In 1996, he earned National Player of the Year honors from Soccer America after leading the Bluejays to their first College Cup appearance. When his career ended, he was the Valley's all-time scoring (128 points) and assists (36) leader.
He was the fifth overall pick in the first round of the 1998 MLS Draft by the New England Revolution. He played for the Revolution for four seasons and also played for the Miami Fusion and Chicago Fire of Major League Soccer, before continuing his career in the USL for the Minnesota Thunder and the Milwaukee Wave United, before moving to indoor soccer with the Milwaukee Wave. In 2010, he returned to the professional ranks as a player, leading the Omaha Vipers of the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) in goals scored. In 2009, he played on the United States Adult Soccer Association Over 30 championship team – Nebraska 402 – which qualified and participated in the U.S. Open Cup in 2009.
Torres returned to the Creighton campus in the fall of 2007 to complete his undergraduate degree while serving as the Bluejays' undergraduate manager. After receiving the NCAA Degree Completion Award, he earned his degree in social work from Creighton in the spring of 2008.
The 2004 Creighton Athletics Hall of Fame inductee, two-time first-team All-American and three-time first-team all-region and all-conference selection has a son, Dominic. Torres is engaged to Sara Heck to be married in the fall of 2013.
