Best Uses
My vet prescribed Clomicalm for my dog's separation anxiety and then we switched her to this generic. You have to combine it with behavior modification training for it to be effective. It took about 3 weeks before I noticed an improvement - overall anxiety much lower, less clingy, better focus. Did not have any negative side effects - didn't change personality or make her sleepy. Definitely helped her separation anxiety and I wish I had put her on it sooner.
Best Uses
I have been using this product for well over two years and my dog has exhibited less aggression towards people. Couple this with behavior modification and you have a good combination. My dog gets run on a bike every day and I feed him quality food, he still remains jumpy and can occasionally snap for no reason, but happens less frequent
Best Uses
This product just does not work. I worked at an animal shelter and saw this med tried over and over again with no results. I tried it on my own dog...no results, I've spoken with trainers who say they've never seen it work yet Vet's continue to prescribe this stuff. I can only guess the markup must be great. maybe there's some outside chance it will work with your pet but don't hold your breath.

The best blender I have had" by Sophie
Red KitchenAid® Artisan® Blender
I bought this replace a useless other blender. This one is better in every way possible - and I love that it comes with a food jar too, as sometimes I need to us the blender for two different things. The jug and lid are dishwasher safe and the blade section isn't, but it is quick work to rinse it in hot water after use, before the food dries on. Would recommend to anyone wanting an attractive, powerful, easy-to-use blender.
Fantastic Item." by Mrs Dodd

After NASA retired its shuttle program in 2011, it opened the door for private companies to compete in developing the future of space travel, including a local company that hopes to play a crucial role.
The Sierra Nevada Corporation, with facilities in Durham and Fayetteville, is trying to put its Dream Chaser into space in the next 2 years. The hope is that NASA will pick the company's spacecraft for its Commercial Crew Program.
The basic requirement of the program is to safely transport people and cargo to and from the International Space Station.
Sierra Nevada program manager Charles Hodges explained that astronauts currently "hitch a ride with the Russians on the Soyuz vehicle" to ISS.
"We pay them $70 million a seat to take astronauts to the space station and return them home," Hodges said.
Sierra Nevada is one of three companies in the spacecraft war to return the missions to U.S. soil. The company hopes the means to do that will be its Dream Chaser, which is being developed at Sierra Nevada plants across the country.
In Durham, the company is developing crucial components to make sure the Dream Chaser has a safe landing back to earth.
"What we are doing here in Durham is developing the flight control actuators," Hodges said. "These are actuators that move the rudder, and move the ailerons and the flaps on the vehicle so it can be flown -- so that it can be steered through the atmosphere."
The technology isn't only crucial, it is also what sets the Dream Chaser apart from its competition.
"Most of the other vehicles being considered are capsules. They come in on a parachute, they land in the water, a ship has to go and pick them up," Hodges said. "Dream Chaser is unique in that it is a flyable vehicle."
Hodges explained that the flight control actuator allows the spacecraft to land on any airstrip that a commercial airliner can land on.
"So you could actually land it on Raleigh-Durham airport," he said.
The parts are in the engineering phase with manufacturing beginning later this year. To ensure that the job is done right, the parts are assembled in what's called the "clean room."
"To be sure that nothing gets into the actuator that doesn't belong there [that could] cause it not to operate properly," Hodges said.
After the part is built, Sierra Nevada's team will then put it through a thermal vacuum chamber to simulate the environment in space. In the chamber, the air is sucked out and the parts are tested in very hot and very cold conditions.
It is also assessed under extreme vibrations.
Only then do the components make the cut to eventually be installed on the Dream Chaser.

Right, since the 1.2 battery I'll be lucky to be at 20% after eight hours at work.
I've got facebook and twitter notifications enabled.
No RSS feeds.
Calendar syncing. (hourly)
No email.
3G is always on, alternatively wi-fi.
I text most of the day, maybe 4-5 messages an hour max while I'm at work.
I don't do any browsing while at work, don't use the GPS.. it just sits there and I text.
Before the 1.2 update, with this usage profile, I was able to get 2 days of battery out of this.
I tried removing all apps, didn't make a bit of difference.
I reset the device settings, no change.
Looking at battery usage monitor, my device appears to idle at 161mA, which is only 6 mA lower than my avg current consumption.
As I'm writing this, the phone has discharged from 80 to 73% in 34 minutes, which seems like a lot. It's been idle for 72% of those 34 minutes.
Looking at the "top energy consumers" page, Device idle is currently responsible for 65% of the battery drain, whilst MeeGo System is at 19%. Everything else is at 5% or lower. All I want is to be able to get a days use out of this phone. As it stands, I'm not even able to take it out and go nuts with the camera, for fear of losing all the battery and rendering it useless.
Prior to the update I was able to nab photos, GPS a bit and write plenty of texts, and while it'd require a charge by the time I had to go to bed - it would handle it fine. Anyone else experiencing this? Any tips? Anything I can do?
Solved! Go to Solution.

i have the same with 3G only and allowed background connection. Discharge is more than 10% per hour. Bit better with dual mode, but practically about the same. Just in case, 3G coverage in my area is quite good.
My workaround is to use 2G mode only (GSM in n9 terms). With it average idle consumption is 5mA, battery discharge ~1% per hour.
2G is enough for checking my two MfE in background, etc. i shift on 3G (more exactly on dual) temporary only when i really need it (e.g Skype call or heavy download). 2G|3G switcher from ovi store perfectly do the work in just one click.
and yes, wi-fi is also in background when available. by the way, practically no difference in power consumption in wi-fi and 2G.
12-04-2012 22:51
Hi man.
I'm testing it now. I just put the charger in to reset battery monitor, and put it on WiFi. There didn't use to be any issue using the 3G at all times.. it happened post update
But who knows.
At this stage, I'm about ready to do a .txt backup of my text messages, backup my contacts and just restore the phone using software updater.
13-04-2012 6:04
Problem is still very much alive. It's averaging 180 mA to 220 mA in idle state.. just too much.

Perhaps you should seriously consider re-installing existing device software with standalone Nokia Software Updater as something not right here:http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/global/phones/

Okay @Froberg, good luck. Perhaps i'll wipe my n9 next weekend. After reading all blogs still suspicious it solves all problems, looks like bug in pr1.2 triggered unpredictably. On the other hand reinstall from scratch is always helpful.

16-04-2012 14:07
Did you check on 3G? With WiFi i also have about 10mA (about the same on 2G only), but with 3G it goes on 100mA and higher...
16-04-2012 17:53
20-04-2012 2:21
My N9 battery is completely drained in just 6 hours. Today the Average Idle Consumption shows that it was 64mAh. I don't know what cause the problem. I'm just sending a text message. No WiFi activity. But when connected to the WiFi, the battery won't last up to 5 hours. Sometime it reach up to 80-90mAh when connected to the WiFi. I'm running on a GSM connection. I don't use the 3G.
This happens since the PR1.1 but it getting worst and worst since PR1.2.
20-04-2012 6:00
23-04-2012 12:47
My $0.02. On weekend I reinstalled the device (PR1.2) using NSU, without wiping (it saves majority of you data). Average idle consumption is within 10mA on WiFi or 2G only (as it was before) and went down to within 20mA on dual mode (instead of 100+mA previously).

Hi aspergerguy.
Small remark. The link you provided is to Nokia Suite. Nokia Suite can not be used on the N9. Instead use nokia link: nds1.nokia.com/files/support/global/phones/softwar
Nokia Link has no option to update the phone though.

I am just wondering, if there is anything wrong with my battery. I charged it up fully this morning and leave it on the desk idling. This is around in the morning at 10.00am
When I came back home to grab my phone on the desk (evening at 7.00pm), my phone battery went flat.
This doesn't happen to me before, and the occurence has become more and more frequent...
Can any kind souls help......

Okla voter charge Larry Boggs as a Lying Radical Right-wing Republican for red-herring on gun rights
Pittsburg county voter expressed GOP senate candidate Larry Boggs angered him because he felt Boggs lied about Obama's would abolish 2nd amendment rights if relected. And that Boggs tried to make a connection between the 2. This voter said that Obama does not have the power to abolish the 2nd amendment. He added that Mr. Boggs was a "radical right wing republican" doing a red herring.
When asked if he would vote for Boggs, needless to say he replied no. The lady sitting next to him responded that they would also be voting for Obama.
Larry Boggs is the republican nominee seeking election to the Oklahoma Senate District 7 that is being vacated by Richard C. Lerblance (democrat). His opponent is J. Paul Lane, the democratic nominee. Election is November 6, 2012.
This political candidate forum sponsored by Mcalester News, in Mcalester, Oklahoma. This event was held on Oct 16, 2012 at 6pm at the Kiamichi Center in Mcalester. Approximately 200 people attended.
(OK-GOP) Markwayne Mullin admits taking Fed Stimulus from Cherokee Nation. But suggest government oversight of fed stimulus $ is not required
After candidate forum, I interviewed Markwayne Mullin about the controversial stimulus money he received. His responses seem as though he was trying to back peddle from his prior public GOP talking points that bashed federal stimulus programs & President Obama admin support for those programs. In the interview he admits receiving the federal stimulus money thru the Cherokee Nation for his plumbing business. However, he tried to spin it as though it was the Cherokee nation who got the stimulus funds & that all he did was got paid for doing a job w/what just so happen to be "stimulus funds". As his father (standing behind me) was trying to define the word "stimulus", I saw Mullin making hand gestures to hush him up.
Also I believe Mullin presented a falsehood in this interview when he said that how the Cherokee nation choose to spend stimulus funds is totally up to them. The problem w/this statement he gave me is that it strongly suggest that government oversight on how those federal tax payer funds are disbursed by the Cherokee nation is not required. If what he said is actually true, then it would be appropriate for a federal investigation to be called to look into this matter. This also makes me wonder if this kind of GOP mindset could be the reason for waste & fraud. In other words he wants the government grants, but without stipulations or rules or supervision. Its my understanding that it would be illegal for a qualified entity to disburse federal monies (such as stimulus) to another party w/out documentation to show that the other party prior to receiving disbursement (payout) has knowledge that funds received is in fact government funds. Otherwise, there would be no accountability of tax payer funded programs. Furthermore, the only way I'm aware of that any private person or private business can receive federal grants is not directly from the federal government, but instead its thru another organization that received the federal funds for purpose of disbursing it to qualified persons/businesses. Therefore, Mullin responses revealed to me that either he actually has no grasp of how federal grant programs work because the only way he could had received those specific funds was to apply for it thru the Cherokee nation. Or it could be that Mullin was simply lying & "yanking my chain".
Also, Mullin's view was that federal stimulus money was the same as a tax refund check (like regular taxpaying folks get in the mail from IRS). Mullin maintained that he never filled out any paperwork nor sought out to get the stimulus funds. However, in order for tax payer to get tax refund from IRS, the taxpayer must apply for that refund. Therefore, Mullin apparently applied for the stimulus if his view is truthful that stimulus & tax refund are the same.
On the matter of veterans as benefactors of federal funded programs, he made some exception (somewhat) – such as: (1) When I asked if he would be opposed to me as a veteran in getting federal grant on the farm bill so that I can start organic chicken farm, he avoided answering. This 1st example is about grants that is considered as stimulus funded. I figured he avoid answering this question because the GOP failed to pass the farm bill which had expired. But (2) When I asked if he would be opposed to me as a disabled veteran in obtaining federal grant to get modification of bathroom to accommodate disability (veteran HISA grant) , he seemed to be more approving of it when he responded: "if that program is available to you" .. "because you served our country". This 2nd example is not considered as fed stimulus funds, according to what I was told by the VA.
Marywayne Mullin is the republican nominee running for election for US Congress (2nd district of Oklahoma). His opponent is Robert Wallace – democrat. The seat they both seek was held by democrat Dan Boren who is retiring & have has held that seat since 2005. US Congressional district 2 of Oklahoma is the only democrat district in the entire state. Therefore, its imperative that the democrats hold on to that district, whereas the republicans are trying to turn the entire state Red. The election will be November 6, 2012.

Ganesh Laxmi Sarawati Wall Panel 72"
Item # 65w21a
Price: $1990
Please take a minute and click here to tell us about your experience with Lotus Sculpture, our customer service and how you like your statue. We appreciate your feedback!
Buying these Ganeshas were a dream of mine for so long and I'm glad I did. Kyle was absolutely wonderful to deal and my Ganeshas came rather quickly and beautifully packaged. They are treasures on my altar and already I'm thinking of my next purchase. Thank you Lotus Sculpture for your wonderful service.Reviewer:Aman Pillay (Auckland, Auckland, NZ)
I have been looking at this statue for years, and knew deep down that I wanted to add it to my collection of other Lotus Sculpture statues. This antique statue is unique (estimated to be between 50 and 200 years old) and was offered to me at such a special discount that I felt overwhelmed when I opened the box, carefully packaged by Kyle and his team. When I looked at Goddess Meenakshi I smiled, because her nose is slightly crooked just like mine! I knew immediately that I am part of her and she is part of me. She is now sitting proudly on a dresser beside another antique statue of Shiva. Their respective heights are perfect. The love couple is complete! Thanks to Lotus Sculpture and Kyle Tortora for his generosity and for giving me this one chance opportunity to be connected to what is close to my heart. May Lotus Sculpture be prosperous!Reviewer:Jenny Wolkowicki (Roselle Park, NJ, US)
In all of my interactions with the owner of Lotus Sculpture, I experienced respectful communication, clear organization and overall excellent customer service. Thank you. I love the piece I bought from you.Reviewer:Amy Nosek (Bowen Island, British Columbia, CA)
Kyle with Lotus Sculpture, worked with us to find the best situation for our new swimming pool. We purchased two beautiful Buddha Heads that now stand on our pool columns overlooking the pool. Beautiful!!! We'll continue to shop here for more special Buddha's.Reviewer:David A. Kress (Chandler, AZ, US)
LOVE IT. I can feel the energy of it. VERY BEAUTIFUL! Thank you! Namaste, FabienneReviewer:Fabienne Diaz (Chapel Hill, North Carolina, US)
This Buddha is going to be a gift and it will make a lovely gift. It arrived on time and well packed. Good job.Reviewer:Angus Vail (Salem, OR, US)
We have been shopping at Lotus Sculpture for a good number of years and we have always been pleased with our purchases. As you perhaps know, buying the statues is the first step and "energizing" them at the temple is another step and the latter is important for "bonding" with the statue and to "take the metal" out of it. Putting the "deity" in the statue is a time-consuming and costly step, depending on the temple one chooses. It could range between $100 - 300. Fortunately the purchase of the statue itself at Lotus Sculpture makes it a great first experience and the next steps are equally moving, organizing the trip, purchases for the real deity, costs to the temple and swamis etc. I wished that some of the statues were more affordable, but then I understand that you offer quality product and that you run a business, not a temple. At the most a payment plan should be offered (pardon me if it is, I am not aware of it) instead of putting the item on a credit card. Personally, I do not like to associate my statues with credit. I see every item that you sell as divine, at least the path to an incredible experience with the "other" world, be it Hindu or Buddhist. Thanks for the great opportunity for shopping at Lotus Sculpture. I received the Yantra and will have it consecrated at the Kali Temple in Burtonsville, MD. We have also bought: Kali blessed in Burtonsville, MD, a.k.a Miss Kitty The Goddess with the mirror (she is now Meenakshi, blessed at the Murugan temple of North America, a.k.a Babe Ganesh, a.k.a Bongo on drums, blessed at the Ganesh temple, Queens Muruga and his peacock,a.k.a. Murray, blessed at Palani Andavar's shrine, Murugan temple of North America. The peacock lamp They have all been blessed and contrary to popular belief, I do not have a special shrine or altar in my house, I place them wherever I desire in the house, bedroom, living room and I do not feel disrespectful towards them. I figure, if they can see me in form and formless, what difference does it make whether they are in my bedroom or in a special part of the house dedicated to them? I do not believe in strict adherence to rituals. I do not possess these statues for religious purposes only. We offer them the food we eat on a daily basis. They also have special names. They make us happy, we love them. The represent beauty, a presence of something divine or more, I do not know. I know that they love us and smile in turn, NOT ALL THE TIME and that is how I know that the deity is here with us. They sometimes show sadness. Basically the relationship with them is an endless labor of love, cooking for them, celebrating birthdays with them, buying fruits for bongo, gardening for them and so forth. The experience is unbelievable.Reviewer:Jenny (Roselle Park, nj, US)
Kyle Tortora provides a great service in making these murthies available, and best of all, he has a deep understanding of Hinduism and Buddhism, and the esoterics of worship. I've recently bought my second murthy from Lotus. Kyle maintains an outstanding inventory of beautiful statues in all materials and sizes and his prices are extremely reasonable. Shipping was super fast! His customer service is among the best I've ever encountered. Thank you Lotus Sculpture!Reviewer:Gayatri Rajan (CANYON, CA, US)
Having gone to India to purchase statues many times, spending days trying to find good craftsmanship and then arranging the import is no more ! The wood sculpture that I bought for my husband for our fifth wedding anniversary was so much better in person than even in the pictures. Thank you Lotus Scuplture ! I will be purchasing more in the future for sure.Reviewer:Gopal (Tampa, Florida, US)
- Materials: Hand Carved & Painted Mango Tree Wood from Tamil Nadu, India
- Total Height Including Base: 32 inches
- Base Width & Depth: 72 x 3 inches
- Weight: 99 pounds
- A stunning wall panel featuring Ganesh, Lakshmi, Saraswati with Shakti, Shiva, 5 Gana, 2 Dvapala and Ritu and Kama riding their parrots
- Entirely hand carved and hand painted by the wood artists of South India
- There are three hooks on hte back of the panel to hang it from a wall
- The wood wall panel ships directly to you from our California gallery
This beautiful wooden wall panel is alive with many figures and colors! The main three deities are the seated forms of Ganesh, Lakshmi and Saraswati. Saraswati is seated to Ganesha's left and is playing her customary guitar-like instrument called a veena. Lakshmi is seated to Ganesha's right and holds two lotus flowers, symbols of fertility and purity. Between the three gods are two, small dwarf attendants of Lord Ganesh called Gana. Gana is how Ganesh got his name because he is the "lord of Gana". Flanking both Saraswati and Lakshmi are two Dvarpala standing with one leg up. They temple guardians are typically seen at the entrances to temple doorways. Beneath the three gods are three Gana squatting as if they are holding up the floor above them. Each has two singha or lions next to them with two lotus flowers.
Ganesh is seated in a temple like structure called a mandir. You can see the top/roof of the temple structure above him that resembles a South Indian temple gopuram. Next to the gopuram are the dancing forms of Shakti Mariamman and Ganesha's father, Shiva. On the upper corners of the sculpture are Rati and Kama the god and goddess of love seated on their vehicle; a parrot.
The wood wall panel is entirely hand carved from mango tree wood by the artists of South India. It is hand painted to resemble the vibrant colors of South India. It is truly a one of kind wall hanging. There are three, 75 pound test, hooks on the back of the wall hanging, more than enough to handle the weight of the wall hanging. There are also felt covers to protect your walls from any scratching from the panels.
About Ganesh
Wood statues are easy to take care of as they just need some annual upkeep to keep them looking as they did when they were first carved. All the wood used by Lotus Sculpure's artists is dried out for months. Moisture causes cracks in the sculpture as the wood contracts and expands in different temperatures. Our wood has little to no moisture in it assuring that the sculpture is not going to crack in its journey into different climates. Here are some simple tips to keep your statue in good condition:
- Dust the statue as needed to prevent dirt build up
- To make the statue shine use a natural wood cleaner and a cotton cloth to buff the sculpture
We recommend keeping wooden statues in an indoor environment. Wood statues can go outside however, they will wear more quickly and develop an antique appearance. If you would like to put a wood statue from Lotus Sculpture outside and keep the same appearance of the sculpture we would recommend first coating the statue with a couple of layers of sealant or polyurethane. We would then recommend placing the statue in a partially covered area. The more exposure to the elements the more the statue will wear over time. Please feel free to contact us directly if you have any questions regarding your wooden statue from Lotus Sculpture, (760) 994-4455 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY (WAVE) - From behind bars in Taylor County, the mother accused of killing her own baby defends her actions on the day of his death.
Brianna Brucker is accused of killing her three-month-old son. Initially, the baby's death in July 2012 was ruled accidental. But after a six month investigation police say Brucker's husband, Dale Brucker, hit the baby so hard he caused internal injuries.
Brucker said it happened when Dale Brucker went into a rage.
"I couldn't go in there," said Brucker. "I had nothing to protect myself or protect my other kids that was in there."
The baby died two days later.
Brucker said she is innocent because she didn't hit the baby. However, prosecutors say Brucker is guilty because she didn't call 911 until after the little boy died.

A Getaway In Itself
We had booked Seahorse Cottage as our base and launch pad to explore Mendocino and as far north as the attractions in Leggett. But if there's anything we could change about our itinerary, it would be to just make Seahorse Cottage an attraction in its own right. It promises comfort and luxury melded into one perfect cottage that offers superb views of the Albion River Bridge from atop the ridge and awesome sunsets. I love that all the rooms generously let in natural light. Sitting at the dining table and peering out into the lush and lovely garden allows you glimpses of the hummingbirds that stop to feed. For a quiet, undisturbed retreat into the hills and with magnificent views you could enjoy from dawn to dusk, it'll be tough to fine something that trumps Seahorse Cottage. The cottage was clean, the garden well-tended and the cottage well stocked. Looking forward to our next trip back for some peace and quiet amid the hum drum of city living...and maybe get some journaling done on the patio.
Great Find
Thank you, Caroline, for providing such a charming retreat. The cabin is cozy, comfortable and has everything you need to make your own meals, which you will want to do more frequently than you might think because the deck just off the kitchen seems like it is in the middle of a private forest. The bed is very comfortable, a big item for us, topped by a thick, warm quilt. There are portable heaters if you need them, but the cabin retains the day's heat and you probably won't need them during most of the year. There are many artistic touches throughout the property and the cabin itself. And, yes, in just a few minutes you can walk to downtown Mendocino, which we did several times. There is a farmer's market to check out and numerous excellent restaurants and hiking trails. Don't miss going down to one of the beaches, though those particular trails can be a bit steep. Photographic opportunities will keep you busy, too. Caroline has other rentals if this one is full. So glad we discovered this gem, Caroline!

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Clay Buchholz is showing signs that he is ready for the season. Mike Napoli is proving to his new Red Sox teammates that he can be a durable addition.
Buchholz pitched four scoreless innings, and Napoli played in consecutive games for first time this spring training and had a run-scoring single and a double, helping the Boston Red Sox over the Toronto Blue Jays 5-3 Tuesday.
"Everything is starting to fall together," Buchholz said. "I was able to go out there and execute pitches, like one after another, a little bit better than the last time out and the time before that. I feel like it's all coming together for the spring, getting up and down a little bit more and the next time when I go out it'll be five innings. It's starting to feel more real now."
Napoli, diagnosed with avascular necrosis in both hips during his offseason contract negotiations with the Red Sox, is batting .429 (6 for 14) with two homers and six RBIs.
Buchholz earned the win, going four scoreless innings, giving up three hits with a strikeout. In his recent side work, the Red Sox have tried to improve Buchholz's tempo.
"Better tempo once again, consistent with his last outing," Red Sox manager John Farrell said.
Eight of the 12 outs Buchholz recorded were on groundballs, including a double play to end the third with runners on first and second.
"I think any time we see Clay putting the ball on the ground, he's got a sinker, he's got his late action pitches working down in the zone," Farrell said. "And that was the case again today. Key double-play ball for him. And I think as we've seen his evolution as a starting pitcher, as he's gone to that two-seamer, it really puts him in a good position to not only be efficient but when he needs to, get a groundball double play as the case was today."

In exile, at home
09/30/2012 18:47
By HAIM WATZMAN
A mourner needs the commandment to rejoice. Otherwise, he will stay forever in exile and never be open to redemption.

The stranger wore a threadbare black sports jacket that looked like it might have come from a secondhand shop and a dusty black kippa. He stroked his short beard as he walked up and down the rows of graves as the ox plows, stopping for a few beats at each to read the headstone.
In the row in front of me he had to detour around T-shirt and shorts-clad twenty-somethings from a Birthright group, listening to a guide I couldn't hear. Finally he arrived at the last full row, the one where I sat, with the lawn in front of it waiting for new tragedies.
He nodded at me, hugging himself. I nodded back. After a moment of hesitation he spoke.
"It's cold here in Jerusalem," he said I shrugged. "Here we're used to the seasons starting to change the week before Rosh Hashana. You must be from someplace warmer. Tel Aviv?" "Tiberias," he said. "Also Sura."
I looked at him quizzically. "You mean the one just west of the Euphrates?" "That's where I studied." He held out his hand. "Abba Bar Zabda."
I shook it. "Haim," I said. "I can't place the name, though. I mean, I've studied a bit but I'm hardly a scholar."
He sighed. "Yes, my wife wasn't pleased at all when she saw the final redaction. 'You're never home,' she griped, 'all day at the house of study, and then when they finally publish, they barely quote you.' I think it was because I had a knack for saying the wrong thing."
"Oh wait a minute," I said. "I remember.
You're the one with the vermin in the
, the ritual purifying bath."
He smiled and quoted himself, "As long as a man holds vermin in his hand, he may bathe in all the waters of creation, but he will never be pure."
"That's a good one," I said. "I use it all the time."
"Well, thank you. I appreciate that." He pointed at a vacant plastic stool. "May I?" I motioned for him to sit next to me.
He nodded at the grave. "Your son?" he said.
A cool breeze flew through the cypresses, perfumed by the rosemary growing on the headstone. A pinwheel left by my oldest daughter twirled.
"Yes," I said. Then, after a minute, "I had by."
"That's good," the scholar said. "It is a tradition to visit the graves of loved ones during the month of Elul."
"And steel yourself for another holiday without them," I said.
"What's the hardest part of the holidays?" he asked me.
I considered. "Maybe building the succa.
He used to help me with that."
"Succot," he observed, "is the only holiday on which the Torah explicitly commands us to be happy."
"I do my best," I said. "But it's not the same."
"I might quote Ezekiel," he said. He looked at me. "The prophet, I mean."
"Shoot," I said.
"So he also lived by the river of Babylon.
Centuries before I went to study there in Rav's academy. Ezekiel had a wife he loved dearly, and the Holy One, Blessed Be He, told him, 'Son of Man, behold, I am about to take the light of your eyes suddenly. But do not mourn or weep.' Put on your best clothes, spruce up your beard, and go about your business as if nothing happened. You, said God, will be a living symbol of the promise of redemption.
"Your people lives in exile, despairing of redemption. I want them to look beyond their sorrow and loss toward my promise that I will return them to their land. By going on with your life normally despite the blow you have suffered, you will show them that they, too, must live as best they can, looking to the future and not to the past."
I grimaced. "Perhaps a prophet needs to be a public symbol," I said. "But I am not going to not mourn my son."
"Now you may wonder what this has to do with building a succa," Abba Bar Zabda said. He looked up and saw a clutch of Birthrighters listening in. He explained, "That's the holiday that begins on the fifteenth day of Tishrei, five days after Yom Kippur. According to the Torah, Jews are commanded to leave their homes on this day and spend seven days living in a ramshackle hut, like the ones their ancestors lived in during their 40-year sojourn in the wilderness."
"Right, right," I said. "Get to the point."
"Now we might ask," the Tiberian teacher said, clasping his hands together in his lap, "whether this law is incumbent on everybody, or whether in some cases one might be exempt. For example, is a mourner required to spend seven days in a succa if the holiday coincides with his seven days of mourning? And must a bridegroom spend seven days in a succa if it coincides with his seven days of rejoicing with his bride following his wedding?" "You have a thing about seven?" asked a blond guy with a Texas accent.
"You mean," I suggested, "that a mourner is too wrapped up in his sorrow to rejoice in the succa."
"Right. Now, my teacher, Rav, who was the strict type, said that mourners must observe all the precepts in the Torah except for putting on
." The rabbi looked up at the young people. "These things we strap onto our arms and heads when we pray," he explained.
"But then he also said that a person who suffers in the succa – I mean, if it's raining, or cold, or there's a bad smell – can eat and sleep in his home. What are we to make of this contradiction?" "I guess if it's raining you can't do much about it," the Texan suggested.
"Very good," said Bar Zabda.
"This assumes that the mourner is capable, by an act of will, of not suffering," I objected.
"Rav said that the mourner must compose his mind," the Tiberian said. "I'm not saying that I agree with him, I'm just reporting what he said. Now, what about the case of a bridegroom? He has an obligation to rejoice, so why shouldn't he do so in the succa?" "Depends how big the succa is," said the Texan. "How big can it be? Can you fit a whole wedding banquet in it?" "Maybe the party isn't what was worrying Rav," I suggested.
"Quite possibly," agreed Bar Zabda. "Certainly other scholars thought so. Abaye, for example, thought it was an issue of privacy, whereas Rabbah was worried about the bridegroom's discomfort."
"Privacy? At a wedding?" asked the Texan.
"At a traditional Jewish wedding," the Tiberian explained patiently, "the groom and bride retire immediately following the ceremony, to a private room. I realize this may seem quaint today, but in my day this would be the first time they were ever alone together.
And the expectation is that they would – and should – take advantage of the opportunity to consummate their love."
The Texan guffawed. "While everyone else is partying?" "Abaye was concerned that the groom might need to step outside," Bar Zabda said. "You know, he's nervous and his bladder might act up. And a succa is open and often built on a street or in a courtyard. Some other man could slip inside and compromise the bride."
"Not if she doesn't want to be compromised," said the Texan.
"The appearance of impropriety is no less problematic than impropriety itself," the Tiberian reminded him.
I considered. "Rabbah," I said, "must have been concerned that the nervous bridegroom might have trouble performing if he was worried that someone could walk in on them any time. Odd, however, that he doesn't consider how the bride might be feeling."
Bar Zabda shrugged. "I admit that, back in the third century, we all had trouble seeing things from a woman's point of view.
But certainly the bride would not find the sukka a congenial place to be alone with her husband."
"So what's the conclusion?" I asked.
"That the problem of privacy is not sufficient to cancel the obligation for the groom to observe the precept of sitting in the succa, but the problem of discomfort is."
"So, in short," I said, "a mourner is expected to collect himself and rejoice in the succa, while a bridegroom, who is rejoicing anyway, is given a break. Sounds counter-intuitive to me."
"Let's go back to God's commandment to Ezekiel," Bar Zabda suggested. "There, mourning is equated with the Exile. Ezekiel is commanded not to mourn his wife's death publicly, not to observe the rituals that make him look to others like a mourner. This is meant to be an example to the Jews in Babylonia, who are to live their lives and go about their business as if they had not been forcibly deported from their homeland."
I considered a minute. "A succa, too, is a form of exile," I proposed. "You are forced to leave your house and live in a rickety structure exposed to the elements."
"Yet, in the succa we rejoice," Bar Zabda encouraged me.
"Let me carry this further," I said. "The bridegroom is moving in the opposite direction, from the exile of being alone in the world into his permanent home."
"Not that I always understand the record of my respected colleagues' discussions," said Bar Zabda. "The Talmud was not edited according to modern standards. But I think you are going in the right direction."
"A bride and groom do not need to be commanded to rejoice," I said. "A mourner needs the commandment. Otherwise, he will stay forever in exile and never be open to redemption."
The Texan looked at his friends. "I don't get it," he said.
I looked at my son's grave.
"It's not going to be easy," I said. "Isn't rejoicing when you've lost a child like dipping in a
with vermin in your hand? You can never get clean?" "I would say," Bar Zabda said, "that in this case you need to hold fast and immerse yourself anyway."
We listened again to the breeze.
"OK," I said. "I'll do my best."
"Glad I could be of help," Bar Zabda said. "I should get going or I will miss my bus home.
Have a good year, the best it can be." •

Support Donor Dash
I am pleased to be part of a community that supports local business and helps each other grow. I am also pleased to be part of a community that understands the importance of giving back. I'm writing to ask you to support an organization that is very important to me – the Northeast Kidney Foundation. I am a member of the Board of Trustees of this organization which has touched my life personally, and that of many other families in our region.
Twenty years ago I was fortunate to receive a kidney transplant. That transplant changed the quality of my life dramatically. I was fortunate because I received the kidney before I needed to start dialysis, but not all are as fortunate and many who receive dialysis wait three years or longer. The Northeast Kidney Foundation provides assistance to patients and families in our region that help with the cost of medical, nutrition and housing needs, but also funds free kidney screenings to help detect kidney disease early on – when it's most treatable. They have supported a number of families in our region, screened hundreds free of charge for kidney disease, and also instituted a support group that meets the third Sunday of every month.
On Nov. 10 the Foundation will hold an inaugural 5K Donor Dash and Kidney walk at the Clark Sports Center. I am writing to ask you to come out and walk, or run, with us to show support for our local patients and family members, those that wait for the gift of life and those that have made this gift possible. The event will feature refreshments, kids activities, a 5K run/walk with an award ceremony, and more importantly, the chance to make a huge difference. The details are included with this letter and we would appreciate your posting and sharing the information. We would also appreciate seeing you at the event.

1250 STILL won't run. I give up! HELP!
I've tried ALL the conventional remedies, multiple times. This engine WILL NOT RUN!
I'm ready to admit defeat and push it to the road.
I disconnected the engine from the hydro pump.
It will run for about 2 minutes at full throttle, then it slowly idles down, and stops.
Crank it, and it starts right back up and runs for another two minutes, slowly idles down, and stops.
I can't count how many times I've had the carburetor apart, cleaned out every hole and orifice, set it to factory spec, and put it back together.
Re: 1250 STILL won't run. I give up! HELP!
Have you tried a different coil?
Re: 1250 STILL won't run. I give up! HELP!
Look at all the fuel system! Not sure if it has fuel filter or screen, but check it. On my CC104 if the sediment bolt was to tight it would starve the engine and it would die, but I kept trouble shooting it until I got it right. Keep at it and you would get-it!

Re: 1250 STILL won't run. I give up! HELP!
Ok Matt. Time for some unconventional wisdom here. You've rebuilt the carb, right? Do you have fire at the plug when it shuts down? Do you still have fire? If so, here's where I'm going to direct you.
I've just finished going down the road you are at right now with a 1200 Cub Cadet. We have pretty much the same machine. Mine is a straight drive, your's has the hydro. Ok?
Something I found out: This line of Cub Cadets has that dang heavy muffler hanging off the front of the engine. It has a tendency to break at the mounting points. One of those is in the air duct to the right of the tractor. The other? It attaches to the exhaust pipe on the left side of the tractor.
I cannot tell you how many used mufflers I looked at on ebay that were cracked right around the mounting for the input exhaust port. I finally ended up buying a brand new muffler from C&G. Best money I spent on this tractor besides getting the engine rebuilt.
Now then, with the exhaust flange being broken so easily, this has a tendency to BURN the exhaust valves on these engines.
The exact same things you are speaking of with running for a short bit then shutting down were happening to me. I rebuilt the carb, flushed the tank, had great spark, the whole nine yards. It ran fine cold, but when it just started to heat up, you couldn't get it to run worth a flip.
I yanked the engine and sent it to a machine shop for a rebuild. The machinist called me back and had me drop by the shop.
The exhaust valve had a burned flat spot that faced the exhaust pipe! As it heated up, the valve would expand and stop sealing properly. No seal, little to no compression, no pulling fuel properly, and it acted like it ran out of fuel.
Pull your hood, your front grill, your cooling tins and then the muffler. Check the input on the muffler that the exhaust pipe goes into. Bet you a RC cola and a moon pie it is cracked just like all the rest I've seen. On top of that, I bet you have a burned exhaust valve.
Remember, these tractors have been driven into the ground with little to no proper maintenance. They also are prone to excessive vibration and this lends to sagging ISO engine mounts, bad drive trains (yes I dealt with that too), cracked mufflers, and who knows what else.
On a positive note, I drove mine around the first time yesterday with the aerator as a test drive after my restoration. My 18 HP Simplicity doesn't have the power my 12 HP Cub Cadet has and the Simplicity is about 20 years newer!
Don't pull your hair out. My head is bald enough for both of us. It'll take you all of about 30 minutes to pull it down as far as I've suggested if your bolts come out as easy as mine did. I'm glad I went into it as far as I did. Now, I'm into the testing and re-tightening phase.
Oh! Don't run your Cub Cadet without a muffler. You are only asking for trouble - as in burned exhaust valve.
I love my Cub Cadet!
Let us know what you find out. When I get time, I plan on doing a write up with photos of what I ran into in the rebuild of my Cub Cadet. It's the least I can do after the good folks here helped me out like they did.

Re: 1250 STILL won't run. I give up! HELP!
Ugh, that's got to be it. Acts like a sticking float, right?
When I got it, the muffler was just rattling around inside the compartment. It had been broken off at the inlet before.
Re: 1250 STILL won't run. I give up! HELP!
just because the carb is set to factory specs dowsnt mean it's right. run it till it's warm a,d do the setup running. mine needed to be set up with the mower going to get it to stop acting up, but mine is an all original 1971 kohler. ran good cold but quit under load after 2 minuts. needed to set the carb with mower engaged

Re: 1250 STILL won't run. I give up! HELP!
You rebuilt the carb but did you fix the slop that develops in the carb shaft? When they get real bad it's hard to get the hi jet set and they get to much air to set the low at idle. If you can find a Hillman 5807-A bronze thrust bushing(1/4" x 7/16" OD) sold by Ace hardware they are a lot cheaper than the Kohler repair kit.

Re: 1250 STILL won't run. I give up! HELP!
Adjusting the needles on the carb doesn't help the problem. All it does is make the engine run rough and blow black smoke if I get too rich, and die immediately if I get too lean.
It will run a while and quit even when it's blowing black smoke.
Carb shaft is nice and tight, amazingly enough. Despite how it looks, I think it's a fairly low-hour tractor.
At this point, I'm done messing with it. Out the door it goes. It's taking up too much space and I don't really have any interest in fixing it.
Re: 1250 STILL won't run. I give up! HELP!
Sorry to be late in responding. I set my float level with a digital caliper so I could see the numbers lining up. No matter what I did for adjustments on the carb, it would run when cold, but as soon as it warmed up some, it would not run at idle.
I'm sure at this point the PO had jacked up the governor so it would maintain rpms at high speed and run long enough for a dummy like myself to buy it. After rebuilding the carb like I did in relation to my Farmall Cub, I knew it was more than just the carb.
At that point, I acted like the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland, and it was "Off with its Head!" so to speak.
The machinist's tear down found the burned valve as I wrote about before. Fortunately, the total number of hours on the engine were apparently low as the bore on the block was only .010. So, I have effectively a new engine in my tractor now.
BTW, she runs on the high end, middle end, and purrs like a kitten at idle. Amazing what a burned valve can do. Oh, I didn't do a thing with the carb after the engine rebuild except follow the book on setting the high speed idle screw and the low speed idle screw. In other words, my carb rebuild was on the mark to start with.
This is one pulling tractor! I can't wait to get it broke in and do some field plowing with it, not to mention snow plowing with that out front snow blade.
Good Luck with the progress. I wouldn't throw out the baby with the bath water if I were you. You have a fine machine there if you work with it. Too bad I live a tad too far from you. I'd be happy to help you out.

Re: 1250 STILL won't run. I give up! HELP!
Hmm, this one would quit at wide open. It would slowly start losing RPMs over about 30 seconds until it finally died.
Anyway, it's a headache I don't have anymore. I put it on Craigslist, and it went out of the yard on a trailer yesterday afternoon. I've got space in my shed, and money in my pocket for my time and parts.
The only reason I ended up with it was because it literally followed me home. My next door neighbor's Lexus had an unintended acceleration event, and sent him plowing into the garage where the tractor was sitting. The car hit the Cub Cadet. Did more damage to the car, but pushed the tractor up against the wall so tight he couldn't move it.
He came over and asked if I could use one of my tractors to pull it out. I'd like to say I used the Cub, but I actually used the Super A with the 1000 loader, so I could lift up on the front while I pulled it free. While it was chained to the tractor he asked if I wanted it, as he was just going to have me drag it to the road otherwise. He couldn't get it to run right either, and had bought a new mower.
So, it literally followed me home... on the end of a chain.
I really had no interest in it, other than to get it running and use it for a yard tug. Burned valve, though... Too much work, too much $$$, not enough time, and no real reason to do it... So it's gone to a good home.
Re: 1250 STILL won't run. I give up! HELP!
Oh yeah, and wouldn't you know it, but the %$#@ed thing ran PERFECTLY when the guy came to pick it up. He drove it all the way to the front yard and up on to his trailer. It never missed a beat.
I could never get more than halfway from the shed to the house before it quit.
I think he was grinning like the Cheshire cat as he drove out of the yard...
Re: 1250 STILL won't run. I give up! HELP!
Well Matt, under the circumstances, I have to understand you getting rid of it. The person who sold me the 1200 Cub Cadet told me all kinds of outright lies about the tractor,and I was stupid enough to buy it anyway.
Cub Cadets in my area come far and few between. I waited around 5 years to find this one. Now that it is almost finished, it will stay with me for quite some time.
As far as your former Cub Cadet running like a top when it left, I couldn't help but chuckle about that. Years ago I had a 1995 Chevy S-10 that was getting some high mileage on it. It was running fine when I just happened to pull up to a auto dealership to look around. When I got back into the truck to leave, not only did it start to snow, but the battery was completely drained!
Apparently one of the cells in the battery decided to short out right after I stopped the truck. I swore up and down the truck did it to me on purpose just for stopping at the car dealership. Fortunately, I was able to get someone to help jump me and I made it to the Autozone where they replaced the battery under pro-rated warranty.
It just goes to show some of these things might actually be alive after all.
Though trillions and trillions of eyes have been watching the skies for as long as human memory exists, no gods nor angels have been seen or documented outside of religion. The number of spaceships being sighted however has become much more prevalent.
Re: 1250 STILL won't run. I give up! HELP!
While we were loading the 1250 up, some shirtless dude in a beat-up Oldsmobile pulls in the driveway, gets out, and says, "Hey I see you're into old Internationals. I've got a 1250 that's in cherry condition but it's started to pop out the exhaust. You interested?"
Suffice it to say, I declined his offer. Didn't want to hear a price. I want money coming IN, not going out...
Re: 1250 STILL won't run. I give up! HELP!
I have not the time to read every reply to your problem. Check several things.You say it runs at full throttle for several minutes and then slows down and DIES. FUEL TANK VENT. Then next thing check that air-filter. I have a 17 hp Kaw(brand tractor un-named) that I just cleaned the fuel tank and screens,replaced the fuel-lines and filter,cleaned the carb., reassembled the air box dropped in the filter (with it running) and after all that work it DIED. I started it up and did the same over again IT DIED. I pride myself on keeping filters changed but this one was for some reason clogged( it didn't appear clogged) and was chocking the air off to this engine.
I will return later and read this thread again to see if ya found the problem. Even at this late date people are keeping my little shop FULL ,by breakin stuff.
