The never ending project- my cannon
Got a project that you are working on that is not a tractor? Maybe a barn to hold your tractors or just fun stuff like woodworking, glass, tools, sheds, gardens, custom implements, etc., this is the place to talk about it.

The never ending project- my cannon
I own/operate a CSA Artillery unit (reenacting), and maintaining the gun and associated equipment is an ongoing project. Over the last 10 years, we've slowly replaced all the timber of the gun carriage, primarily with white oak and some hedge (Osage Orange) thrown in for grins. The limber is currently in the shop for a new set of wheels and some more ironwork, etc. I know better than to try to draw a line as to where a project will cease, as it never happens!
If I can decipher the plans for WBTS artillery, a '48 Cub ought to be a slam dunk- HA More pics as I round them up...

Larry, we need to talk a little at the Va fest coming up soon.
That's a very nice Gun you have there Mr. Moredman and great pictures too, thanks so much for sharing. I love the night firings with the steel wool added for sparks.
I was into reenacting ( CSA ) for about 12 years spending some of it running the bigger guns like yours. Spent some time taking artillery classes at Jackson's Mill ( Home of Stonewall ) learning to be on the safe side at all positions of the gun.
Here's a picture of an original 6 lb Nepoleon bronze that we used many times during events. One of my biggest thrills was pulling the lanyard on a cannon that was used during the war. It still has many markings on the hard barrel from incoming shots.

Re: The never ending project- my cannon
It's hard to imagine the power behind these big guns back during the war. The cannon in my picture is using 1/2 lb of black powder with a little steel wool added.
This same gun during battle would be using 1 1/2 lbs sending a 6 pound shot of different types up to a mile and a half away.
Mr Moredman, you done got me cranked up now.

Mr. Moredman,
Here's a few pictures of a mountain howitzer I built several years ago I thought you might enjoy.
I've used it at several Memorial events and monument dedications in our area working with WWII veterans/ friends.
I hope to see more of your project as the limber starts coming together.
Thanks again for your photos !

Re: The never ending project- my cannon
Not so much $$$ in mine Boss, built at the shop from odds and ends on nights when as usual, I can't sleep. Lot of time put into it but I enjoyed it.
Now the gun that Moredman has is a different story, that's a beautiful cannon, replica barrel and carrage will cost around $20,000+, plus with a nice caisson for ammo I'm probably shooting way to low.
Maybe I'd better add a little more powder to my guessing.

Re: The never ending project- my cannon
Wow, guys! Good to know there's some more arty guys here, especially those of the southern bias!
I've owned the gun for about 10 years now, and we replaced the stock of the gun quite a while ago, and have strived to work on it each year since, coming closer to making it 'correct' as to the WBTS time frame. Anyone who has had the opportunity to look over the plans for field artillery during the war knows it's a challenge deciphering the diagrams and measurements, and duplicating them. Quite a challenge, even with the tools that are available today! Makes you appreciate the level of craftsmanship and dedication of the carpenters and blacksmiths of the time, sure enough.
I have documented photographically every step of every workday, and have hundreds of photo's, so with much difficulty, I will streamline what I post here to the essentials.
2 years ago, we decided to replace the axle/wheel assembly on the gun, and was lucky enough to become acquainted with Mr. Ben Miller (Miller Wagon and Cannon), of Parrotsville, Tennessee, who build extraordinary wheels using the same methods of wheelwrights of the 1860's. We ran down there, and picked up a pair of his #1, 57" wheels, and acquired a nice hedge timber from a friend and set to replacing the rolling stock. The carriages of the time were made primarily of white oak, but as we're a Missouri unit, we decided to use hedge for the axle housing, as it's a native wood to the great state of MO (my family has been in the state since 1823, and proudly provided the Confederacy with more than one good son!).
I could drone on for hours on the subject, so to keep from boring you to tears, I'll let the pics talk. Feel free to ask any questions!
As to the gun itself, the finished gun weighs in right at 1700 pounds, with 900 of that the barrel itself. The barrel was machined from a section of a ship's propeller shaft, and since it's machined steel instead of cast iron, it produces a unique sound when fired. Just ask the yankees! A sidenote on the hedge- as hedge fenceposts will remain solid for at least 100 years, I figure the next 2 generations will never have to replace that axle! We cut the hedge so that the growth rings 'grip' the steel axle, and as it dries further, should clamp it as tight as can be.

Hopefully the youtube user who put up the Russian videos so quickly last season will be doing the same this season.

A judge refused Gov. Pat Quinn's request on Friday to stop legislators from being paid while he appeals a court ruling that determined withholding the money -- a consequence he imposed for lawmakers' inaction on Illinois' massive pension crisis -- was unconstitutional.
The decision by Cook County Judge Neil Cohen clears the way for legislators to get paid. Cohen said Quinn violated the Illinois Constitution by withholding the checks for two months when he used his line-item veto to cut $13.1 million for lawmaker salaries from the state budget.
Quinn had said he was angry that legislators hadn't found a fix for Illinois' nearly $100 billion pension shortfall. He also refused to accept his own paychecks.
"I do understand where his heart is," Cohen said during Friday's ruling. "But that's politics. That's not the law."
Cohen on Thursday ordered Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka to immediately pay legislators the paychecks they've missed since the governor's July veto. Topinka, a Republican who controls the state's checkbook, said that night that her office already was processing the checks.
Lawmakers with direct deposit got money in their bank accounts Friday morning. The next set of paychecks is set to be processed Friday afternoon.
Legislators make a base salary of about $67,000, plus bonuses for serving in leadership. The bonuses also haven't been paid.
Quinn's attorneys said they will appeal and were filing an emergency request to a state appeals court to stop lawmakers from being paid. But it's unclear if a ruling could come soon enough to stop the next round of paychecks from being issued.
House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton sued after the governor stopped the paychecks, saying their fellow Chicago Democrat had violated the separation of powers between the legislative and executive branches. They also argued that a provision of the Illinois Constitution stated that lawmakers' pay couldn't be changed during their current term in office.
The governor said that if legislators wanted to be paid, they could return to Springfield and vote to override the veto -- a move he acknowledged could be unpopular with voters. He argued that the section of the constitution that says lawmaker salaries can't be changed was intended to mean they couldn't be increased, but that cuts were OK.

In modern times, the central section of Florida's Atlantic Coast has come to be known as the Space Coast. Though the former Soviet Union won the "space race" by launching the first manned space flight, the U.S. base of operations was Cape Canaveral Air Force Base and its Kennedy Space Center was then home of NASA operations. In stark contrast to the "High Tech" space industry, the surrounding area is a wildlife preserve, and is a major breeding ground for many endangered seabirds.
The following Shore Excursions are available for this port on this cruise, and may be reserved beginning 240 days before the cruise begins for guests receiving Concierge amenities, and 180 days before the cruise begins for all other guests.

Once inside the Kennedy Space Center Visitors Complex, guests will be escorted to designated KSC coaches for a bus tour of restricted NASA property. At each stop, you will rejoin a different coach (This may require some waiting in lines during peak periods).
On your tour of the secure areas, you will have an close-up view of the space shuttle launch pads (closer than regular guests are allowed), see one of the largest buildings in the world - the vehicle assembly building, and visit the award-winning Apollo/Saturn V Center. Here, you will relive the launch of the massive Saturn V rocket and enjoy a front-row seat as man lands on the moon.
Your personal tour concludes at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, where you will have the opportunity to touch a piece of Mars, enjoy an IMAX space film and "The Shuttle Launch Experience" which will take visitors on a simulated shuttle launch beyond the boudaries of Earth.
At the conclusion of your Kennedy Space Center experience, you will board your coach for the return transfer to Port Canaveral.
Please note: This tour includes a moderate amount of walking. The tour is available to wheelchair guests who have a collapsible wheelchair, are able to make their own way on and off the coaches and have a companion to assist them. Casual clothing and flat, comfortable walking shoes are suggested.

I like the show. Yea, there are a bunch of folks who might be a butty short of a picnic, but you can pick up all kinds of tricks and snippets. An emergency situation does not have to be an end of the world scenario. Hurricanes, snow storms etc have proved that in recent years.

As you know, I have been playing with getting my Pole Barn Cub Hut ready for the winter.. it has been a multi year project... which ones aren't huh
Anyways, I have gotten some stuff done.. and we did take a bunch of pics. Em still has to transfer some from her camera to my puter.. but here are a couple that I took yesterday.
I managed to get the rubber dams down around the new addition execpt for two sections of about 6 feet. They will be done as I get ready to sheet the walls. It should provide adequate prevention of water ingress and keep Ellie, Granny and the toys relatively dry. Once the roof is on of course.
As you can see.. there is an awful lot of blank wall against the old shop. This is where my racking will be to store parts, implements and other stuff when not in use. The I-Beam pictured will be the central fixture of the Electric Hoist Trolley system to put away implements and to load the 1600 litre Electrolysis Tank..
More to come..

Audi 80 Quattro Parts
About Audi 80 Quattro
The Audi 80 Quattro is an all wheel drive variant of the original Audi 80. The all wheel drive option however was not the only improvement made upon the 80 Quattro. The Audi 80 Quattro had a fuel injected 2.2 liter inline 5-cylinder engine that substantially boosted the power output of the vehicle. It had a 5-speed close ratio manual transmission that put the precision handling ability at the tip of the drivers fingers. All in all the Audi 80 Quattro was an upgraded take on the original 80, and in many ways the precurser to the Audi 90.

CORSICANA, Texas — Detective Elmer "Sonny" Boyd was doing a last security sweep through the Dallas Trade Mart, where President John F. Kennedy was scheduled to speak, when he and his partner got word of an incident involving the president's motorcade.
The Dallas police homicide detective rushed to Parkland Hospital, where the wounded president had been taken and was pronounced dead. There he and his partner were ordered back downtown, to the School Book Depository, where witnesses said they'd seen gunshots fired at Kennedy.
Boyd was searching the seventh floor when someone found bullet shell casings near a window one floor below. The investigation was unfolding when Boyd learned a friend, Officer J.D. Tippit, had been shot in a confrontation with Lee Harvey Oswald.
"We'd been partners for years," said Boyd. "Our kids played together. We were close."
"Oswald shot him across the hood of his car," before fleeing on foot, said Boyd, adding that Tippit was the reason police nabbed Oswald as quickly as they did. "He was the real hero."
Boyd's memories of the events surrounding Kennedy's death have made him popular, especially as the 50th anniversary of the assassination has neared. This week Boyd attended a reception in the old Book Depository - in what is now called the Sixth-Floor Museum - as well as a showing of the documentary, "Catching Oswald," in which he appears.
Boyd eventually spent 27 with the Dallas police before retiring in 1978, then joining the Euless, Texas, Police for 10 years. After that he returned to Blooming Grove, where he grew up about 50 miles south of Dallas, with his wife of 63 years.
On Tuesday, Boyd, now 86, spoke to high school students in his hometown describing some of the aftermath of Kennedy's death.
Boyd had a front seat to history. He and his partner, Detective Richard Sims, were assigned to escort Oswald to line-ups and interrogation sessions with local police and the Secret Service.

Fresh off inspiring rookie campaigns, Cook and Doolittle will be making appearances this week at a Feeding America food collection and the annual A's Community Fund holiday party.
They will be at the Bank of America Walnut Creek banking center on Thursday from 5-6 p.m. PT collecting food to benefit Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano as part of a hunger-relief effort with Feeding America and Bank of America.
The first 150 people to make a minimum donation of five non-perishable food items will receive an autographed photo card from both players, who helped the A's make their first playoff appearance since 2006 this year.
Cook and Doolittle will make their way to the A's Community Fund holiday party on Friday. At this private function at the Oakland Zoo, the A's will host 230 fourth- and fifth-grade students from Oakland's Achieve Academy for lunch and entertainment, including the chance to meet Cook and Doolittle and receive autographs.

Time to start promoting and organizing and planning the 5th annual Mid TN Cubfest, Aug 17-18.
Motels in the area start at $29 night , but nice rooms can be had for under $50. (motel 6 newly remodeled $41 night)
We also have plenty of room for campers, tent'ers with limited electric for lights and fans (a/c will require generator)
Crossville, TN is the Golf Capital of TN, if that is your thing.
Cracker Barrel, Shoney's, Subway and waffle house and the Motels are just 3 miles from the house.
We can handle most any reasonable project as long as we have time to prepare. My barn/shop has an unlevel dirt floor, but i have split many cubs in there.
We will be having the Cub powered Ice cream maker, and home made root beer.
This is shaping up to be our best Cubfest yet here in TN and we welcome all cub lovers.

"I was looking on this sheet, just being at a table sitting next to Mike Piazza," Estrada said, "and I felt like I should have had to pay. I thought they were going to give me a bill later."
There is no doubt that the Braves catcher deserves to be a National League All-Star. Estrada will be Atlanta's lone representative at the 75th All-Star Game on Tuesday night at Minute Maid Park in Houston.
With a .332 batting average and solid work behind the plate, his All-Star credentials are more than in order. But his success story is not an overnight success story.
Estrada, 28, put in more than enough time in the minor leagues, stuck first behind Mike Lieberthal in Philadelphia, then last season behind Javy Lopez with Atlanta. Estrada hasn't forgotten that part of the baseball experience.
"Oh, I remember it, man, like it was yesterday," Estrada said Monday. "Non-roster to invitee to big league camp. Just kept working every year, just kept trying to work hard in the off-season and then work during the season to get the best out of my abilities. It's nice to be rewarded this way."
Estrada had one previous extended shot in the big leagues, filling in for an injured Lieberthal for part of the 2001 season. Estrada hit just .228 and did not stick.
"Looking back on that time, I let a lot of things affect my play," he said. "I probably wasn't mature enough mentally. It was a tough situation for a 24-year-old kid straight out of Double-A. I thought I was ready but I probably could have been a little bit more prepared mentally."
Life changed for Estrada in December, 2002, when the Braves traded Kevin Millwood for Estrada. It was seen in some quarters as a one-sided trade, merely a financial move by the Braves. Estrada's performance has made it impossible to see the trade in that light now.
"It was like an early Christmas present for me and my family," Estrada says of the trade. "The Phillies had just signed Mike Lieberthal to a contract extension. It was like new life for me. I knew that Javy Lopez was still over here, but he had one year left on his deal. Sure enough, things worked out for me. I think they worked out the best for both sides. I'm grateful for the opportunity."
The Braves may have given him the opportunity, but it was up to Estrada to make the most of it. He figured that this was finally his time.
"I just turned 28 years old, and I've had to spend the last two years in Triple-A, knowing inside that I felt that I was ready for a chance to show what I could do and it never came," he says. "I just had to bide my time and accept the situation, which was tough to do. Any given year I could have just hung my head and sulked about it and not had good years. But I didn't let that happen and that was part of the maturing process.
"I'm grateful that the Atlanta Braves organization thought that highly of me to see what I could do and give me give me a chance. I was just a hungry ballplayer looking for a second chance at the Major League level. I got it this year and I'm just trying to take advantage of it."
The Braves, more injured and much younger than usual, have not succeeded in the way they did while winning 12 straight division titles. Estrada is their lone All-Star representative. But they are still solidly in contention in the NL East. And the atmosphere in Atlanta is a breath of fresh air for Estrada.
"Playing for Larry Bowa and then playing for Bobby Cox is kind of opposite ends of the spectrum," he says with a small smile. "Bobby Cox has an uncanny ability about getting the best out of his players. You look at our ball club this year, as many young guys, as many first-time Major Leaguers that are getting a chance to play. And look at how well they've done. He creates that atmosphere there, that relaxed atmosphere. He's always pumping his players up. He's always positive. Whatever success we've had this year with all the injuries we've had is a tribute to Bobby Cox who sets the tone at the top and trickles on down to the players."
What might have been a now-or-never situation has definitely become now for Johnny Estrada, All-Star catcher.
"I pretty much don't have any more room for error at this point," Estrada says. "I'm 28 years old. I needed to have a good year this year and I'm glad to be healthy this year and having a productive season."

Carr's Table Water biscuits lose Royal stamp of approval
Last updated at 15:35, Friday, 02 March 2012
Changing tastes in the Royal household mean one of Carlisle's most famous exports can no longer boast of being in the Queen's cupboards.
Carr's Table Water biscuits – baked in historic works at Caldewgate – have proudly carried a crest as supplier to the Royals, first awarded in 1841.
But it is a claim the brand can no longer make, having lost its warrant of being "By Appointment to HM The Queen".
Management at United Biscuits, the firm which now makes the product, say they are sad at the move but insist Carlisle's connections to Buckingham Palace have not been lost.
And they have taken the opportunity of losing the warrant to instead boast of the biscuits' historic roots as a product of the city, using its crest where that of the Queen would once have sat.
A United Biscuits spokesman said the Carr's brand no longer carried the Royal Warrant due to "lower demand in the Royal household".
He added: "The Carlisle factory retains its Royal connections because it also makes McVitie's and Jacob's products and these brands will retain the Royal Warrant.
"McVitie's was also proud to make the chocolate biscuit cake for the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge last year.
"While we are sad to have lost the warrant, the business is delighted and honoured that Carr's products now carry Carlisle City Council's coat of arms, which reflects the brand's heritage and its more than 180-year association with this historic city."
Queen Victoria was the first Royal to give Carr's Water Table Biscuits her seal of approval, granting its initial warrant in 1841.
Table water biscuits became so popular because water was used instead of fat to blend the dry ingredients to keep the biscuits fresh on long voyages.
They were created by Jonathan Dodgson Carr, the son of a Quaker grocer, who started baking using a brick oven.
He was originally from Kendal, but set up in Carlisle, first in a shop on Castle Street.
Carr bought a piece of land near the canal basin in Caldewgate for £800, built his factory and the Carr's biscuit works was born in 1835. It has been there since and is now part of the United Biscuits food empire.
That factory currently employs 800 people., making the historic table water biscuits and a range of other biscuits, including fruit shortcake, custard creams, bourbons and ginger nuts.

Have your say
Must agree with Pat Tilney, a question that has not been answered. What has happened to Carrs high bake water biscuits ? Don't they make them any more? Why not? They were the best, bring them back please!
Growing up in the 60's/70's in Carlisle a lot of girls goal was to be a 'cracker packer'. I proudly show all my friends in Canada Carrs water biscuits in the cracker aisle

Pre-Paying for Funeral Costs
Saving for Retirement
Pre-Paying for Funeral Costs
Say you plan to set aside money to cover the cost of your burial in order to spare your family the expense. If that is the case you have a number of options, but two of the more common ones include pre-planning your funeral with a funeral home and creating a Funeral Trust.
Pre-planning with a funeral home may sound like an easy way to go, but problems could pop up if the funeral home goes out of business or you move to another area and decide you want to be buried there instead. Pre-planning with a specific funeral home tends to lock you in with that provider. Funeral Trusts are a specialized form of Trust designed to cover the cost of a funeral. A Funeral Trust sets aside funds for your funeral but does not "lock you in" with a specific funeral home.
Whether or not you make financial arrangements ahead of time, you still may want to do some pre-planning. Consider the type of funeral you want, and write down your decisions and intentions. You don't need to create a formal legal document; simply write down your desires, and sign and date the document. (And make sure a loved one knows the document exists.)
If it's important to you, make sure your loved ones know your wishes in regards to your funeral.

One World Children's Fund: An immeasurable impact November 21 2011
Ok, I admit it. I got a little teary-eyed at the One World Children's Fund Annual Benefit Luncheon held in San Francisco last Friday.
But it's not my fault.
When CNN hero Elena Durón Miranda started talking about her experiences working with children in Argentina, my eyes welled up with tears. It wasn't just her stories; it was her sincerity and the earnest manner in which she told the audience that education is how we begin to break vicious cycles. Durón Miranda founded the organization P.E.T.I.S.O.S. after witnessing children in the town of Bariloche scavenging the landfills for food to eat and materials to sell. Horrified by what she saw, she decided to find a way to provide education and support to these children.
P.E.T.I.S.O.S. is one of the many community-based organizations supported by the One World Children's Fund, an organization dedicated to helping the 120 million children without access to education, the 300 million children who don't have enough to eat, and the 150 million children without homes. These numbers are staggering. Even one uneducated, hungry, or homeless child feels like one too many, but hundreds of millions?
One World was able to provide support to 15,000 children in the last year alone. These figures are important when discussing what's been done and how much more there is to do, but the fundamental point is the point that Durón Miranda made when she said, "A number will never be able to explain the transformation of someone's life."
A transformation like the one Michealene Risley, a One World board member, described when she showed enormous strength and courage in telling her own story of abuse while talking about the struggles children around the world face because of sexual violence.
"I refused to let my life be defined by what happened to me," she said as her voice rang out clear and strong across the hushed auditorium.
Risley then told the story of a beautiful little girl in Zimbabwe who had already faced the brutal and horrific experience of rape. She was two. My heart broke and I wanted to get up from the table and rush somewhere, anywhere, to shield the many thousands of children like her who are subjected daily to these terrifying and horrific experiences.
But not just to shield them. To also educate them, love them, and believe in them like Girls to Women, another One World community-based organization. A video clip showing a montage of little girls and young women announcing their intentions to go to Stanford to study formed a lump in my throat because I was so touched to see the one thing all of these girls had in common: they believed in themselves. Education and love had empowered them to see themselves in a different light, and that's not something that can be measured.
So if I got a little teary-eyed, it was two-fold. One because it breaks my heart to think of these kids out there trying to squeeze happiness out of the miserable situation they've been thrown into and two because it's inspiring that there are people out there who do more than just stand on the sidelines with a broken heart. They reach out. They step forward. They DO something.
What's so great about the One World Children's Fund is that it enables individuals around the world to step forward in a myriad of ways. You don't have to drop what you're doing and fly halfway around the world to help. Currently supporting 28 projects in 16 countries, One World believes local people have a much better sense of how to solve the problems in their communities and is committed to providing support to volunteers in the U.S. to help fundraise, advocate, and support these existing community-based organizations. Wherever you are, you can support these projects and these children in many different ways.
At Greenlight Apparel, this is exactly the type of approach we support. We don't believe in throwing money at the problem. We believe in educating and empowering people to stand up in the midst of a system that continually pushes them down. This is why our business model moves beyond just avoiding sweatshops and using environmentally sustainable production methods. We're committed to supporting microfinance and education programs because…well, because they work.
One World recognizes this. An occasional handout is not what these children need. They need education and support. They need more than someone standing on the sidelines crying for them. They need someone like Durón Miranda to provide them an opportunity beyond scavenging in the landfill. They need people to believe in them.
We do.

When the Colorado volleyball team lost senior team leader Kerra Schroeder to a season-ending knee injury on Aug. 25, the Buffs knew they didn't have one player capable of filling those shoes.
"We had a very candid team meeting after the first weekend and we decided that this has to be a full team effort," CU head coach Liz Kritza said.
So far, the Buffs have managed to get that effort. On Saturday, the Buffs defeated Cal State-Bakersfield and Norfolk State in the Air Force/Colorado Invitational at Coors Events Center.
After a five-set battle with CSU-Bakersfield, the Buffs swept Norfolk State.
CU finished non-conference play with a 10-2 record, its best start since 1998 (17-2 start).
Nikki Lindow and Neira Ortiz Ruiz have been particularly important for CU. Lindow has become more of an on-court leader in Schroeder's absence, while Ortiz Ruiz is becoming quite a force on offense. On Saturday, that duo combined for 47 kills and 16 block assists.
Lindow played like a leader should, posting 25 kills and 13 block assists.
"Nikki Lindow did step up (after Schroeder's injury)," Kritza said. "She's filling a natural leadership role and she should. She has the most playing experience of anybody on the floor. She's responding very well."
So is Ortiz Ruiz. Prior to this week, she had just two career games with at least 10 kills and a career-high of 11. She posted 14 kills in Thursday's win at Air Force, followed it up with 12 against CSU-Bakersfield and then 10 against Norfolk State. She's the only player on the team this year with three consecutive double-digit kill games.
"I'm not Kerra. Kerra is great," Ortiz Ruiz said. "But, yeah, the team needs players to work. I'm willing to do that and I'm willing to bust my guts in practice to help us win and look good."
Lindow has been quite impressed with the emergence of Ortiz Ruiz, saying the team has "full confidence in her."
Throw in the calming presence of reserves of Michelle Miller and Ana Pantovic off the bench, and the Buffs are doing what they can to replace everything Schroeder brought to the court. It has shown in the results, as CU has won six in a row while building team cohesiveness.
They needed that cohesiveness on Saturday to get past scrappy CSU-Bakersfield and Norfolk State.
"It's pretty nice," Ortiz Ruiz said of the two wins. "I think we did a really good job in getting into and being together. The two games (Saturday) were opportunities for us to see we can be together and be a team."
Against CSU-Bakersfield (2-9), the Buffs had to battle more than expected before taking out the Roadrunners 25-19, 23-25, 19-25, 25-13, 15-13.
After falling behind 2-1, the Buffs played their best in the final two sets to pull out the win. Lindow had 14 kills and nine block assists to lead the Buffs. Ortiz Ruiz had 12 kills and Alexis Austin and Kelsey English added 11 each. Nicole Edelman had 41 assists for the Buffs.
"I think that for a team that's comprised of the youth that we have, being able to pull out five-set wins is really important," Kritza said. "It kind of shows what kind of character we have, what kind of leadership we have. When players struggle, they're going to have to be able to work out of those doldrums. They've got to be able to bring themselves back up. That's what that five-set match did; it allowed players to have some confidence."
CU carried that confidence into the second match, a 25-16, 25-22, 25-16 victory against Norfolk State. The Buffs held the lead the entire first and third sets against the Spartans (2-11). After falling behind 6-0 in the second set, the Buffs rolled in that one, too.
Lindow and Ortiz Ruiz dominated play against the Spartans, combined for 21 kills and only two errors in 35 attack chances (a remarkable .543 clip).
"Our goal was to stay consistent and not err a lot," Lindow after the Norfolk State match. "The passing was excellent, (Edelman's) sets were great and we were hitting high, hitting our spots. It was nice to see the efficiency go up a lot more. We definitely need to continue that in practice the rest of this week."
Next up for the Buffs is Pac-12 Conference play. CU will open the conference slate on Wednesday with a home match against Utah. The game is slated for 8 p.m. and will be televised on the Pac-12 Mountain regional network.
CU opened this tournament with a five-set win at Air Force on Thursday. ... CU has its first 10-win season since 2008 (13-16). ... CU's six-game win streak is its longest since a 6-0 start to the 2008 season. ... CSU-Bakersfield dropped to 1-13-1 all-time against the Pac-12, including 0-3 season. The Roadrunners were going for their first win against a Pac-12 team since beating Arizona in 1991. ... CU had never faced either team before Saturday.

Greetings from Michigan!
Hi everybody! I have several tractors but bought my first Cub ('57 LoBoy) on ebay this past fall. Not a perfect experience as I took a lot on faith from the seller. A "cosmetic only" dent in the gas tank turned out to be a caved in gas tank and certain parts listed in the auction were missing and supposed to be shipped...but they never turned up. Seemed like such a nice old couple too! The tractor is otherwise in very nice condition and the engine turns over but it does not start. It is my first project for the Spring and I am looking forward to it. I have accumulated most parts I need including a fast hitch. It originally had one at some point but most of it is gone. It all started when we decided to replace the rear mower deck we use on the 1520 with a ZTR mower. To do our property and get any kind of life from the mower I would have to buy a pretty nice one and that was going to set me back a lot of money. So I discussed it with my wife and came up with the plan of getting the Cub. Having already lasted 50+ years and being relatively easy to work on, it seemed a good choice and fit in well with my interests. It will do a good enough job and make it fun for me at the same time. This site has a lot of great info and I look forward to posting my troubles from time to time and, hopefully, finding the answers I will inevitably need. I will try to get a picture in the Spring when it is uncovered and ready to go in the shop. Really is a very nice little tractor.
Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase.

I have a JD L-111 to do the small stuff in my yard.. the front lawn and the area around my vines and such in side yard. To do the rest will require Ellie and the C-2 which still needs restoring - although I just made a deal to acquire some badly needed parts But you are right, a Cub is a pretty good lawn mower among other things. Better seat time than any of the ridem's.

When the General Assembly reconvenes on Feb. 8, local lawmakers plan to mark the day with more simplicity than spectacle.
"I've nothing planned so far for Opening Day," said . "I usually bring several friends and family members up, but this year have been busy with projects and work in the home district so I need to think about that in the coming days."
, said she plans to attend breakfast caucus and then will adjourn for lunch afterwards.
"As for Opening Day, this will be my 14th, but it still remains very exciting and humbling to begin a new year of service to my constituents and state," said state Rep. TR Rowe, a Republican representing in the 123rd House District. "I've saved all my opening day tickets and display them proudly in my office, and will have another one to add on the 8th."
State Rep. Chris Perone, a Democrat representing Norwalk and 137th in House District doesn't have anything special planned. Although he will keep the opening day handouts and any good luck messages he receives.
"It is a day where everyone seems to be one entity and the clock sort of resets for the day," Perone said.
Connecticut's financial problems will likely extend beyond the current biennium's projected deficits, said local lawmakers.
Fred Carstensen, Director for the Connecticut Center for Economic Analysis at UConn said he doesn't think the April 2011 consensus revenue forecast from the Office of Fiscal Analysis and the Office of Policy Management is correct. That forecast says revenue, under the tax structure, should improve 5.1% FY 2012-2013.
"That seems highly unlikely as it relies on rapid economic growth of the same magnitude. Growth is unlikely to be more than 2 or 2.5 percent—which can not credibly generate 5.1 percent growth in revenue," Carstensen said. "Moreover, Wall Street is shifting to more salary, less bonus, which means that those living in Connecticut but working in New York City will have less non-wage income on which to pay tax in Connecticut. So I anticipate revenues will be significantly lower than OFA/OPM projections, and that the budget will therefore slide back into deficit--as is now projected for FY 2012. FY 2013 will be significantly worse."
Local lawmakers weighed in on how the state should deal with the economic situation.
, said she wants the unions to sit back down at the negotiating table. She said though a deal was reached last session, there are ways to get them to renegotiate, starting with asking them to come on good faith.
Carstensen doesn't expect that to happen, but he does expect changes in the budget nonetheless.
"I doubt there would be any renegotiation. It does mean there will be probably be more budget adjustments," Carstensen said. "The unknown is how quickly the major bonded capital projects will kick into the revenue stream. The busway and Bioscience/Jackson labs will both boost tax revenue in the short term."
While Camillo said the state's public sector workforce must be reduced, he isn't directly calling for a renegotiation.
"My issue with it is this: Guaranteeing jobs for several years, plus giving an almost 10 percent raise within the next four to five years is a bit much when private sectors workers have no guarantees nor does the small business person who risks much if not all of his or her personal savings to go into business," he said.
Going into the next session, Perone said everything must be considered, whether it's asking the unions to renegotiate, or cutting more spending. Also, Perone said it's important to take a macro look at the issue in that much of what happens in Connecticut is tied to what happens nationally, and by extension what happens in Europe.
"I'm completely cognizant that we're not out of the woods yet," Perone said.
Lavielle said the state's are a huge problem.
They "alone total more than $70 billion, and they are less than 50 percent funded," she said, adding "the current year's deficit, estimated now at about $145 million, may well be only the tip of the iceberg."
"Connecticut's ability to collect all the revenues planned for in this biennial budget, which included a record-setting tax increase, is very uncertain, and may be severely limited, since the state is so dependent on the taxes from investment income," she said. "The state simply cannot verify about half of the $1.6 billion in savings that were listed as part of the union concessions package. (For example, $180 million over two years that is to come from ideas in an employee suggestion box."
Last week the Connecticut Democratic Party sent a press release calling out Fourth District congressional candidates Chris Meek and Steve Obsitnik for not yet filing compulsory personal financial disclosure forms.
"Either these guys think the rules don't apply to them, or they are hiding something from us," said Connecticut Democratic Party Chair Nancy DiNardo. "If we can't trust them to turn in a few bank statements on time, we certainly can't trust them to put the interests of Connecticut citizens first."
Meek and Obsitnik are challenging Democratic incumbent
While the two reported their fundraising numbers they haven't yet reported filed their disclosure forms as required by The House Committee on Ethics. The committee requires candidates for U.S. House of Representatives to file a personal financial disclosure within 30 days of becoming a candidate for Congress if that candidate officially becomes a candidate in a non-election year.
The Meek campaign raised $230,000 in the 4th quarter. Obsitnik's campaign has so far raised more than $250,000. Neither Meek nor Obsitnik could be reached for comment.
According to the CT Democratic Party Obsitnik's announcement that he raised $250,000 demonstrates that he was officially a candidate in 2011. Meek officially announced his candidacy via telephone town hall in mid-November.

Colchester, Vt. — An Old Lyme resident was arrested Thursday on a drug charge after police started an investigation into drug activity on the campus of St. Michael's College.
Colin Basler, 19, was charged with possession and distribution of LSD. Basler, a sophomore, has since withdrawn from the college.
Colchester police said the investigation began when another college student, 19-year-old Ethan Levin, of Marblehead, Mass., jumped off the Lime Kiln Bridge. He survived the jump.
Basler is expected to appear in Superior Court on Tuesday to answer to the charges.
Police said they are continuing its investigation and expect additional arrests.
Police said they are also working with St. Michael's College administration and public safety officials.
