Replacement ID plate, Canton cubfest
Hello everyone. We Are planning on attending the Canton, TX cubfest and need some help. Wondering if anyone will be there who makes engraved ID tags. Somehow ours got lost during our rebuild. I was also unable to get 2 rivets that hold the tag out. Was wondering if maybe someone there could help us get the old rivets out. And a new tag installed along with helping us put all of our new decals on? Not sure where they all go so help would be appreciated...
Re: Replacement ID plate, Canton cubfest
take a look at tm tractor decal section, they show locations
Re: Replacement ID plate, Canton cubfest
As far as I know, the only engraved reproduction tags come from:
Nancy L. Diener, 1287 Woodruff Pl., Morgantown, WV 26505 and phone no. 304-599-4027
Some other suppliers, like OEM, have repros that they will stamp with a number. They are not inexpensive from any source. The main difficulty in removing the pins is to try to not damage the plate. One method is to put a narrow slot in a putty knife and pry them out. If your plate is off, you can usually get them out with vise-grips or drill them out.
We can take a shot at helping on both questions at Canton.
Re: Replacement ID plate, Canton cubfest
i just did that very thing last night . i had a "junk" bolster i did first . i tried popping the head off with a chisel and hammer , and no matter how carefully i tried , i boogered up the corners . the next one was the serial number plate to one i wanted to keep , i tapped the top of the rivets with a hammer to put a flat spot on it , took a sheet metal scribe and put a small dimple in the center . that gave a good way to drill without slipping off center , 1/8 drill bit and made a mark on the bit with a sharpy so i would not drill too deep . worked great . tedious though. coppersmythe.....................................

It seems like society is in the throes of addiction these days.
I'm not talking about the coked out 1980s, the "crack is whack" '90s or the meth craze in the 2000's that showed the face of addiction to be a toothless, acne-riddled tweaker.
Today's addicts can be in a nice suit. They can be dressed for the gym, or they might be naked as a jaybird on a couch. Their common vice is technology. It might be an iPad, an iPod, an iPhone or an iMac, but it all leads to the same end result – iTune out.
If you can take your eyes off a screen for a minute and look around, just watch how many people are texting something, checking their Facebook account, or sitting in a solitary zone with earphones in. We are addicted to pixels and isolation. Instead of the art of conversation, we engage in the art of growing crops in a fake universe like Farmland. We speak in monosyllabic grunts to the flesh people staring at us so we can end interaction with humans to talk to Siri.
Take a look around. It makes no difference if a conversation is in full midst, there will be furtive glances down to a screen where fingers are furiously typing, and robotic-like head nods are being given back to you regardless of whether a question was asked or not. We've put ourselves on auto pilot in personal interaction. We smile, and then think social permission has been given to check stock quotes or email.
And I'm as guilty as the next zombie.
At Sunday's lacrosse practice for my son, I'm checking the NFL scores on my phone every 15 seconds as if I'm missing the greatest game ever played. I probably looked like an extremely busy man, as I couldn't spare an hour to watch my son do something that required sweat, effort and no electronic equipment whatsoever.
It is amazing how "smart phones" render most of us mindless. I think I screamed at the screen more than I actually talked to other people. I did what I rail against so often and that was putting my personal enjoyment ahead of enjoying the company of others. Just because I see this type of behavior every day doesn't mean I should join in.
We isolate ourselves so that our immediate sphere of interaction is us and our electronics, even if we have other things to do. As an example, I think the epitome of rudeness is when the person in front of you at the grocery store is on the phone and can't even get off of it to engage the cashier. I mean, the person entrenched in electronics sought out the store on their own; They weren't beckoned there by a worker looking to have his or her time wasted. Some even have the gall to raise the index finger upward which is the universal sign to "wait a minute until my more important conversation is over" before paying for the goods they so dearly wanted in the first place.
The face of addiction today is unknown because it is buried in a device, hidden from the public view

With all eyes on the Olympics it's easy to lose sight of other sporting events. In this edition of Hi Vis we focus on the growing popularity of cycling and the brands who are carving out their biking niche… With the Tour de France 2012 just wrapping and the London Olympics underway, cycling has become an up-and-coming sport in the U.S. With an increase in the popularity of cycling sports there is an increasing focus on what the average cyclist needs from their sunglasses. Adidas Eyewear from Silhouette once again sponsored the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in Windham, N.Y. on July 1 where mountain bikers had to transition from shaded areas without much light to bright, roadside courses. Riders challenge is to find a lens which allows for full visibility on shaded paths while also providing accurate protection when racing across bright, un-shaded straight-a ways. Lenses from Adidas Eyewear featuring Light Stabilizing Technology offered them protection without compromising visibility. Adidas Eyewear also provided sunwear options that have custom fit technology, such as the Double-Snap Nose Bridge and TRi.FIT. As a sponsor of the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup, Adidas Eyewear works throughout the year to promote cycling across the U.S. Adidas Eyewear is also working with NICA, the National Interscholastic Cycling Association, to promote youth cycling, and sponsors Team Movistar in the Tour de France… Speaking of the Tour de France 2012, Rudy Project was front and center on Italian rider Peter Sagan who rode for Team Liquigas-Cannondale and greatly exceeded expectations in his first Tour de France. After ruling the roost in the hilly finishes in Seraing and Boulogne, he waited until Metz to show he was able to beat the fastest sprinters on the flat, including fellow Rudy Project rider André Greipel. In addition to his three stage wins, he finished second in three, including the final stage. Time is on Sagan's side as he still has three years to go to qualify for the white jersey for the best young rider. "I'm very happy for this Tour de France because it's a surprise also for me: three stage wins and the green jersey... that's great," said Sagan. "I want to finish this season good. I want to do well in the Olympic Games and the world championships and maybe, afterwards, I'll start thinking about the Classics. Other riders have made big names for themselves over the years but I want to be the original Peter Sagan."… Transitions Optical has also gotten in on biking's popularity as an official "Friend" of the world's oldest, longest and largest bicycle touring event in the world, the Register's Annual Great Bicycle Race Across Iowa (RAGBRAI), just completing its 40th year. Transitions, along with industry partner, Oakley, sponsored a team participating in the ride and also featured an experience area and trial opportunities for event participants. RAGBRAI began in Sioux City, Iowa, July 21, and finished in Clinton, Iowa, July 28. While competing in the seven-day bike ride across the state of Iowa, Team TransitionsOakley wore limited edition Transitions Oakley performance sunwear fitted in Oakley frames. Transitions' "Innovation Stations" at the ride's overnight stops also showcased five innovative biking and accessory products that enhance performance and the cycling experience alongside Transition lenses. During the stop in Marshalltown, Iowa, on July 25, Transitions' area featured avid mountain biker Chef Kayne Raymond of BBC America's No Kitchen Required, who performed a cooking demonstration using local ingredients.

We know the ACC is a possibility, but which are the other two leagues?
Do you dream of bathing in an unending wave of college football goodness? Do you ever feel like you just see too much of your girlfriend, the sun or your Jack Russell, Bo? If so, do we have...
The MWC and CUSA almost merged this year. The idea should be revived with the Big East taking CUSA's place.
The Cardinals finally got their ticket out of the Big East, but the Big East is also running out of suitable replacement schools for the ACC to poach.
The Big Ten is adding Maryland and Rutgers. What does the SEC need to do in response? Nothing.
If Maryland is serious about leaving the ACC, its battle to get out will be very consequential.
Notre Dame will join the ACC and have a better chance to lose to SEC teams more often.
Missouri will be more successful this season than Texas A&M, we're told. What does that mean?
Texas A&M and Alabama have shared many coaches over the year. Most of them were better when they played at Alabama.
LSU has always needed a conference rival. Texas A&M needs a new conference rival. How convenient.
Georgia has played Texas A&M more often in its history than Missouri, often to lopsided effect.

ASSOCIATED PRESS - A Detroit woman, seeking help after a car wreck, was shot in the head and killed by someone who could have helped her. Renisha McBride, 19, knocked on the door of a home in Dearborn Heights, just outside of Detroit, around 2:30 a.m. Sunday, police said.
Her cell phone battery was dead and she walked to a house to get help, according to reports about the incident. Many details of the incident have yet to be released, but police said she was shot while she stood on the porch of a home by the homeowner.
Her family said she was shot in the back of the head with a shotgun as she turned to leave the house. Police have not released the name of the shooter, but the Dearborn Heights police are "seeking unspecified charges," according to a report in the Detroit Free Press.

In a joint news conference Wednesday morning, Memphis Mayor A C Wharton and Police Director Toney Armstrong announced the formation of a committee to investigate the policies and procedures of the police department.
Citing recent well publicized problems and a need to improve operations, the committee will focus on three areas of police operations:
The committee will be made up of Keith Norman, Pastor of First Baptist Church-Broad; Billy Garrett, retired colonel and former commander of Union Station; and Bishop Mayes, retired colonel and former commander of Old Allen Station.
During the initial phase, additional individuals may be consulted.
MORE: Memphis Police Policy Assessment and Strategic Planning Document
Rev. Norman, Garrett and Mayes assume the unique roles of serving as paid consultants to a Memphis Police Department whose image has been undermined by a string of police officers behaving badly cases. Their initial assignment will be a two month examination of current MPD policies and procedures regarding ethics, training, disciplinary actions and level of support given officers possibly suffering from on the job pressures.
Norman is a preacher and community activist who engages in both with passion.
"We are recognizing that we are truly one," he said. "No black, no white, no male / female. All destinies are in the words of Dr. King are inextricably intertwined. We are one."
Norman teams with two retired police officers with a combined 62 years of service and stellar reputations as straight-shooters.
"I think it's a good combination who knows MPD from the ground up," Mr. Wharton said. "That won't send up sending me some big bill just learning North Memphis from South Memphis."
"We didn't want to bring someone in that we'd have to train," added Director Armstrong. "One on police work, two on the Memphis Police Department."
During a City Hall news conference on Friday, Mayor Wharton stressed the new effort to return public trust back to the department shouldn't be classified as a "witchhunt" to weed out those few who've transformed the familiar motto of "to protect and serve" to "relieved of duty with pay."
"We're not working on the presumption that we got a bunch of bad cops and we're going to find them," the mayor said. "We're working on the presumption we have a bunch of good cops and we want to keep them that way. Whatever it takes."
Director Armstrong, who some felt was humiliated by remarks Mayor Wharton made about MPD's inefficiency at a September news conference, appeared positive in welcoming the consultants and their ability to take a complete overview of police operations.
"I meet with our staff and they say, 'You know what? We really need to take a serious look at this or really take a serious look at that,'" Memphis's police director said. "But, you get so often plain busy playing the game, you don't get a an opportunity to do a lot of coaching."
However, the choice of Norman, is interesting, considering he'll have to get a crash course about the inner workings of the MPD in order to eventually give effective input.
When questioned about Norman's lack of police savvy, Mayor Wharton voiced his support by stressing what could be Norman's chief attribute - his honesty.
"I'm confident he will call it the way he sees it," the mayor said. "That's why he was brought in here. He values his standing the community and would not jeopardize that in doing anything other than telling us just the way it is."
The committee will meet over the next 60 days to review discipline processes and make recommendations about alternatives. It will also look into improved training protocols as well as staff support and post-traumatic incident intervention.
Phase two will focus on public safety procedures with an eye toward developing a multi-faceted plan to improve public safety in Memphis.
Phase three will focus on building a strategic financial and operating plan to implement the recommendations.
In addition a waste, fraud, and abuse hotline will be established for anonymous reporting of issues from the public.
The committee is scheduled to complete the initial review process by mid-February 2013 with a final product completed by December 2013.

A magnificent science-fiction film, all the more intriguing because it raises questions about the origin of human life and doesn't have the answers.
Prometheus is an unquestionable good time, one of the best big-screen science fiction accomplishments since 'Avatar.'
Although Ridley Scott's 3D visual feast is no classic, the oozing alien tentacles hit all the right sci-fi horror notes.
The virtuosity on display makes the weakness of the story all the more frustrating. I'll avoid spoilers here, but Prometheus kind of spoils itself with twists and reversals that pull the movie away from its lofty, mind-blowing potential.
It's imaginative only in a stiff, expensive way. Scott vests the movie with an admirable degree of integrity – it doesn't feel like a cheap grab for our moviegoing dollars – but it doesn't inspire anything so vital as wonder or fear, either.
Try as it might, the movie is hardly profound, and the murky atmosphere and the leaden pace drag things down.
Jun 5, 2012It aspires to Stanley Kubrick's "2001", but in its maddeningly unresolved plot threads and cornball cosmic mysticism, it lands closer to "Mission to Mars" -though Prometheus lacks any action set piece as gripping as the Brian De Palma film's sentient sandstorm.

Jun 9, 2012After seeing the Previews I had mixed feelings about Prometheus. Yes it looked like it would be visually pleasing, and I love the original Alien, liked Predators and Alien 3, but all of the other films set in the fictional Alien/Predator universe are pretty terrible, especially AVP2 which was one of the worst films I have ever seen. After AVP2 I vowed I was done with both of the franchises for good. But after some coaxing by a couple of friends, I reluctantly went to see the Prometheus opening in IMAX. Couldn't be happier. Amazing visuals. Intriguing plot lines. Excellent character portrayals by most of the cast. Intense edge-of-your-seat thrill ride, but not only was it thrilling, it was gripping. The cinematography was excellent. The character development of David was spectacular. The story line exceeds all of the other movies of the Alien/Predator franchises, except for the original Alien, combined. I'm glad I spent the money to see the IMAX version, and I am planning to see this at least two to three more times in IMAX before its run is over. Last movie I saw in a theater more than once? The first Matrix film. Saw it twice. This movie is right on par with it as far as an overall experience. Surpassed even Avatar, far surpassed in my opinion, in overall 3D movie experience/entertainment. This is a must see. Anyone saying it was boring, or hard to follow, doesn't know what a great movie is. There is no hand-holding through the movie. You must think for yourself and form theories as you as you go along, and this film kept me guessing through the end, but not to a point that I ever felt I was "lost." Wonderful Experience. 9.7/10… Expand
Jun 13, 2012A decent score and promising start full of bleak beauty, conveying a good sense of the vulnerability of space travel, isolation, and the beauty of life. Up until the point the main body of actors are introduced, the film was going excellently. Two main things let this film down- the characters and the plot. That sounds pretty damning, like there isn't anything left to salvage it. Not so. Good points were excellent visual appeal, reasonable tension, a believable level of future technology, and engaging questions about the origins of humanity. The characters. It is such a shame when a film is ruined because characters do not act believably. There may not be a faster way to ruin a film. The most obvious example of this is the sheer recklessness of the so-called scientists. They are just falling over themselves to stick their tongues into unknown goo. The list of these incidents honestly goes on and on. In fact, the number of incidents of people actually behaving believably are so few that they stand out like megaton blasts when they finally crop up. The motivation of many of the characters is very muddy, and is never clarified. Most of the characters are never explored at all, which somewhat diminishes the impact of their later noble sacrifice.
The plot. For the first half of the film, it was essentially the exact plot of Alien, although there is nothing wrong with that. It wrestled (not wholly unsuccessfully) with grand themes, but left most questions unanswered, and the few answers offered were very ambiguous. Everytime it felt like a revelation was about to be reached, the resulting pronouncements were always rather vague. A lot of possibilities were hinted at, but nothing really concrete was ever offered to any of the million questions posed. It felt too much like it was paving the way for a sequel, and not enough like a self-contained plot. In general a lack of answers and a lack of continuity. There was never really any impetus or momentum, just a series of barely related (and generally icky) events.
The alien beasties were reasonably grim and imaginative, although lacking the classic horror that made Alien so good - allowing the imagination to fill the gaps. Perhaps it's just the biologist in me, but the alien's life cycle made no sense whatsoever. It was as if the film studio had 5 wacky ideas of horrible alien creatures, but couldn't be bothered to bring them together cohesively, so just tossed them into the film willy-nilly (I'd bet decent money that this is exactly what happened).
The major themes of "Where did we come from?" and "Do we actually need to know where we came from?" and "What does this mean for religion?" cropped up repeatedly, and made for interesting intellectual fodder. There was definitely more than just a cursory nod to exploring these ideas, so well done there Mr Scott. As if it even needs to be said these days, but the special effects were seamless. Many parts of the film were visually very rich, and the score was very good. In fact, the set designs really were outstanding, an extremely lustrous visual world that satisfied very well on a superficial level.
All in all, not a terrible film. It had all the pieces necessary for a good film, yet it cemented them together disjointedly and inexpertly- like shattered diamond stuck back together with excrement. With another edit, and maybe 3 minutes additional footage here and there this could have been an excellent film. So nearly a classic 80s sci-horror, but not quite.… Expand
Jun 18, 2012Prometheus is not a bad film, it's just not a good film. The production design by Arthur Max is creative and simply incredible, the 3D is great and Michael Fassbender is fantastic as a robot. With all that said, the screenplay is what doesn't work in Prometheus. It's sometimes confusing and sometimes predictable, the characters aren't really good developed, apart from David (Michael Fassbender), and some scenes are well written, but bad on camera. At the end, Prometheus is just a poorly connection to Alien.… Expand
Jun 9, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Prometheus was staggeringly bad.
Part of this was that I was primed to be that Prometheus was going to be "about" something, and failing that, I thought it was going to be sci-fi horror on the scale of (or at least in the ballpark of) something like Alien. And it's Ridley Scott: The dude has made two sci-fi movies: Alien and Bladerunner: both classics of the genre. It's only going to get better, right?
So, let's start with the good: It's undeniable that the visuals are very striking. Some of the vistas made me want to race off to photograph them (even if they weren't real), and there was a real "internal logic" to the visual style and design of the human and alien environments that made the whole thing seem believable. As usual (and it's hard to fault Prometheus for this), 3d added little to the movie, save for the scenes with lasers and holographs both human and alien, where it helped with immersion. The other bright point is the robot (sorry, "Artificial person") David, played by Michael Fassbender, who steals most of the scenes he's in. He starts out in an earlier montage which influenced by TE Lawrence, _Moon_, and Desmond in the Hatch. After that, he manages to channel a role which is equal parts automaton, adolescent, menacing molester ("I saw your dreams"), and dutiful but ignored son, but closes in the role of toady.
Virtually everything else in this movie is average through awful. The writing is forced and wooden, and almost hurt to sit through. "Every king has his reign and then he dies" -- I guess channeling King Lear for dummies, but how forced. The plot was implausible and actually fairly uninteresting. The fact that this was pitched as a "big theme" movie had me excited. Instead, we have really hamfisted metaphors and a people working through parental issues in the dumbest and least interesting way possible.
The really damning failure of this movie is that it even fails as a suspense or a horror piece. I telegraphed most of what would happen very, very early in the movie. None of it was a surprise, the horror was all utterly predictable, and what little subtle there was in foreshadowing required you to already be a fan of Alien (no bad thing, but if that's what it takes to scare people...). There was just no new ground tread.
The theater I was in actually found itself laughing at some of the lines and situations. This was in no way intentional -- and in fact, when I ran into a friend at dinner (who'd just seen it), he said the way he'd enjoyed the film was to appreciate it as camp. Ouch.
Probably the best thing I could say is that there is enough sort of directionless "theme stuff" in the movie that you could hack together a good movie out of the pieces: but man, this isn't it.
It gets a 3/10 on the strength of the visuals. Normally they'd be nice enough to give it a 4/10, but I had to take off a point for the painfully bad old man makeup on Weyland. (another friend: "He looks like Biff from Back to the Future!"). I
'm really sad about Prometheus, because I really had high expectations.… Expand
Jun 29, 2013Wow. Thank goodness I didn't waste the money on a cinema ticket to see this when it came out (despite being tempted to thanks to the ridiculous levels of hype Ridley Scott generated). Prometheus is NOT "inscrutable", "mysterious", "intellectual" or any of the other terms used to describe it on fanboy webforums and YouTube rants claiming to "understand" its "true meaning". It is a fantastically stupid film. End of. The only redeeming feature is the gorgeous production design and cinematography. It LOOKS great. But looks can be deceiving. Prometheus doesn't make sense NOT because it is cleverer than we are, but because it is far, far, FAR stupider than we are. It is confusing not because it knows something we don't, but because it is poorly cobbled-together archaeo-religio-scientific claptrap that simply doesn't make sense. The entire film (and all subplots therein) rest upon the shaky foundations known in the business as "the Idiot Plot". NOBODY in this film, at any time does anything that could in a favourable light be labelled as intelligent. Every decision of every character is totally stupid and acts simply to bring them closer to death, which is (surprise surprise) the point of a stupid space-slasher movie. Right now this excrable crud is battling with Batman and Robin for the honour of Worst Film I Have Ever Seen. It really is THAT bad.… Expand

It has been three years since the CTA has raised fares, but that is about to change. Next year, prices are going up as much as 74%.
More than a million and a half rides are given on an average weekday on the CTA's buses and trains. In just a few months, those rides will cost noticeably more for customers who purchase multi-day passes.
Here's the breakdown:
A one day pass that costs $5.75 right now, will nearly double to $10.
A three day pass will increase from $14 to $20.
A one week pass goes up from $23 to $28.
And a 30 day pass, will change by $14 dollars, to 100 bucks.
"I usually get a monthly pass," says Amanda Abraham. "It will affect me greatly because we are dependent on every day, paying a certain price."
"Sometimes I only have enough to get on the bus to get to work," says CTA traveler, Ashley. "You know how it is at the end of the week."
The hikes are a part of Chicago Transit Authority President Forrest Claypool's proposed $1.4 billion budget for 2013. In a news conference Tuesday, Claypool said the CTA is facing a $165 million shortfall and that the increases would generate $56 million a year.
"This will put us on a solid fiscal path for many years," Claypool explains. "Our passes were the most generous in country and hadn't changed for many years. All we're doing really with this change is bringing our passes to the national average."
The good news is that CTA fares for single rides will not increase, remaining at $2 on buses and $2.25 on trains.
There is one exception though on the blue line, for passengers leaving O'Hare. Those passengers will be $5, not the standard $2.25. The exception is for those who have a monthly pass, hold a Chicago card, or have reduced fare rides.
These new fares are expected to take effect on January 14th, 2013. There will be a budget meeting held on December 10th at 6 p.m. who want to voice their opinions.

CO2 and the Rise of 'Personal Responsibility' on the Left
by alipi, Mon Aug 06, 2007 at 01:21:01 PM EDT
Someone left an interesting note on one of my comments the other day, pointing out some of Obama's shortcomings on CO2 emissions. I ended up spending an hour or so doing some research and found myself at a rather unexpected and completely unrelated place: Blackle.com
Its a really smart idea - use a black screen for Google's homepage instead of a white one, and save energy in small increments. In the process, each individual person gets a daily reminder that small individual actions add up to big outcomes.
Before anyone dismisses this as just another fad, I want to try out a different spin on it. It seems to me that, given that the only credible political solution to the climate issue doesn't seem to want to represent a nation that re-elected Bush (I don't blame him, shame on all of us), the only way that real change can occur is from the ground up. And what does this entail? Small, daily, and sustained efforts on the part of millions of individuals adding up to larger action.
What if we all decided to pay a little extra for the green option on our electricity bills? What if we all decided to substitute bike rides for car rides whenever possible? Are these ideas really so radical? One of my new year's resolutions this year was to find a way to go carbon neutral, and I achieved this far easier than I initially thought was possible. All I did was give up my car and buy the green option. The money I save from the car far more than offsets the extra money on my energy bill (by about $500 a month), and I am in better shape. I don't even live in a city with public transport (Nashville)! Turns out, biking really isn't that hard. Can everyone do this? No, obviously not - people have families and other circumstances, but I bet that some people can afford to do this. And those who cannot, at least can make sure they get their gas from BP and not (NOT!) Exxon.
Call it silly, but I think that the time is ripe for us to steal one of the Right's most successful ideas, and actually put it to good use (instead of using it to mislead people). Personal responsibility - people love the idea because it is so quintessentially American. What if we, in a very vocal sort of way, proclaimed that personal responsibility is no longer a concept that justifies our turning away while our neighbors loose their houses due to absurd medical bills, but rather a concept that compels us to take small actions every day that take into account our responsibility to our planet and our fellow citizens.
Remember that JFK used this idea in his famous speach, and remember that people LOVED that speach and STILL love that speach. That is what people want. Right now, it seems that there is no solution for the climate crisis, because there is no political will to action. Therefore, we have to approach this challenge differently, and I think that if we approach it as a challenge for individuals and NOT governments, we will not only succeed, but also remind Americans something they seem to have forgotten: the Left, not the Right, has solved this nation's great problems throughout history, and it is the Left that has the ability to continue doing so.
So yeah. Progressive "personal responsibility." Apparently, Google gets it.

After September 11, Rangers management wanted the October 7 home opener to pay tribute to the New York City Police and Fire Departments and Ground Zero recovery workers. With this in mind, Dierson found the Catalyst, then in prototype from High End Systems; he immediately saw the product's potential for incorporating moving video images with his lighting design.
Dierson's original design called for 26 Catalyst units. Unfortunately, he says, High End "didn't feel it would have that many production units finished in time." In fact, the company had one available unit; the others were caught in customs, returning from the PLASA show in London, where the Catalyst was launched. So one it was. Even then, "that one unit was released the week of our load-in," laughs Dierson. This was the first use of the Catalyst system; Madison Square Garden, home of the Rangers, has rented the Catalyst unit and projector system from MB Productions of Fairfield, NJ.
For the season opener, Dierson loaded 20 30-second clips into the Catalyst. (The unit's Apple G4 computer stores the video as QuickTime files.) He coupled the Catalyst with a Digital Projection 15sx Lightning DLP™ projector. "The Lightning has an amazing output of 12,000 ANSI lumens, which allowed me the punch that I needed for such a large image," says the LD. "I lensed the Lightning to throw an image from blue line to blue line on the ice, which is approximately 54' wide. The images look great on the ice and compare very well with the automated fixtures shooting from the scoreboard."
Much of Dierson's work was reserved for the second intermission, where he designed looks featuring scenes of New York City; a flying American flag; red, white, and blue color washes; and hundreds of white stars, all of which could be moved around the building. "This is a whole new way of incorporating video into lighting design," he says.
Dierson also upgraded the Garden's automated fixture package and control system, which now includes 10 Clay Paky Stage Zoom 1200s and two Martin MAC 2000s. In addition, the LD wanted a controller that any operator could run easily, so he chose a grandMA light from MA Lighting. "I also needed looks for each team using the Garden, including the Rangers, the Knicks, the Liberty, and St. John's Red Storm," he says. "I use 20 instant access buttons and 10 playback faders per page, for a total of 30 looks."
For the Rangers' season opener, Dierson brought in a full grandMA console to run the rental package and to control the house grandMA light; he also added 40 Stage Zoom 1200s and 40 Stage Color 1200s from Clay Paky. "I really like the Clay Paky fixtures," says Dierson. "They have features that I get only from them, like repeatability of focus and position. In concerts, where the trims are 25-30', if the pan and tilt motors miss a step or two, the results are not that far off. In an arena, where the throws are 100-150', a misstep will leave a logo up to 6-10' off — that could be in the middle of the audience. The [Clay Paky] units have fantastic optics, with no hot spots, and I don't need to refocus for textured glass and breakups." The 1,200W HMI lamp is also a big plus, he says: "It's a good look for TV, with the whiter, cleaner color temperature."
Dierson also designed two 60' star-shaped trusses to hang on either side of the scoreboard. "I like the fact that no one has used a star-shaped truss for sports before," says Dierson. "And, after the events of September 11, the design had a lot more meaning." The trussing, control, and automated fixture package was provided by Light Action Productions of Wilmington, DE. The master electrician was Brian Barrollo from Light Action. Brian Brooks of MB Productions interfaced with Dierson for the Catalyst system and the DLP projector.
"The management was very happy about the lighting and the Catalyst's video imagery," says Dierson. "With that many spectators, they usually get a handful of complaints, but they only got compliments."

I found a new soccer study on player injuries that sheds some light on the reason the club should not rush to bring Ben Arfa back on the field:
Ekstrand and his colleagues studied the injuries of about 2,300 players in three European soccer leagues over the years 2001 to 2009.
About one in six players were reinjured, which means a recovery period of up to 30 percent longer than with the first injury.
This can result from "trying to come back from injury too quickly," Brophy said, adding that the study's findings highlight the fact that players and trainers need to make sure players go through adequate rehabilitation before going back on the field.
This helps actually quantify the serious risk of bringing back Ben Arfa too soon - he could have a 1 in 6 chance of re-injuring himself.
For this reason, I fully support Pardew's decision to postpone Ben Arfa's return date at least month from early April to early May:
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew has revealed Hatem Ben Arfa faces a battle to return to first-team action before May as he bids to recover from his double leg break.
He added that the player had "every chance of playing against Wolves" on April 2.
However, Pardew has now said Ben Arfa has little prospect of playing in that game.
"I am going to protect him," he said. "I can't just throw him in. The Wolves game sounds optimistic, even though I'm sure, in his own mind, he has set that as his target.
"He is still very much in the process of recovery and has a long road back. It may even take us into May. To break both bones in the shin is tough - not just physically, but mentally, too."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--While most Venezuelans were celebrating Christmas, President Hugo Chavez pushed a law through his lame-duck congress, giving himself decree powers for 18 months just before a new congress able to oppose him was seated.
Ismael Garcia, an opposition lawmaker in the National Assembly, denounced what he called "a package of laws that are a coup d'etat against the constitution," the Associated Press reported. U.S. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said Chavez "seems to be finding new and creative ways to justify autocratic powers. What he is doing here, we believe, is subverting the will of the Venezuelan people."
Fall elections gave 66 seats to opposition lawmakers in the 165-seat National Assembly, enough to impede Chavez dictatorship in some areas. Pro-Chavez lawmakers also appointed nine new Supreme Court justices, which will reinforce Chavez' dominance of Venezuela's judiciary, the AP reported.
Supporters cited the need to swiftly approve disaster relief measures as the rationale for decree powers, but critics noted the new law also allows decrees affecting telecommunications, banking, information technology, the military and land use.
Although Chavez insisted the new law had nothing to do with the incoming congress, he signed the new law Dec. 17 with the triumphant comment, "Let's see how they're going to make their laws now," the AP reported.
SOMALI GIRL SHOT FOR TURNING TO CHRIST -- A 17-year-old girl in Somalia who had placed her faith in Christ was shot to death in late November in an apparent "honor killing."
Nurta Mohamed Farah fled her village in Somalia's Gedo region to live with relatives in another part of the country after her parents tortured her for leaving Islam, Compass Direct News reported. She died Nov. 25 after two unidentified men shot her in the head and chest with a pistol.
After Farah's family found out May 10 that she had accepted Christ, she was shackled to a tree by day and put in a small dark room at night, Compass Direct said. Her parents also took her to a doctor who prescribed medication for a "mental illness." Farah had declined her family's offer of forgiveness in exchange for renouncing Christianity.
AYATOLLAH SENDS HANUKKAH GREETINGS TO JEWS -- A distinguished Iranian cleric who has been imprisoned in Tehran for his opposition to the country's ruling mullahs sent greetings to the world's Jews during Hanukkah.
Seyyed Hossein Kazemeyni Boroujerdi, who has been held in Tehran's notorious Evin prison since 2006, said, "We join in the celebration of all religious beliefs and traditions.... We come to this joint celebration through our common vision for freedom and peace," according to a report in The Weekly Standard news magazine.
The message was released by a group of Boroujerdi supporters who oppose "the current anti-Semitic regime of Iran," which it says sows animosity and hatred "between the descendants of Abraham, the common ancestor of Jews and Arabs, and the progenitor of monotheism," the Weekly Standard reported.
Boroujerdi's health has deteriorated in prison, yet he has continued to denounce the regime of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Weekly Standard reported. Boroujerdi preaches a pre-revolution version of Shia Islam that believes religion should not control politics.

When you drop a nail or screw, you probably have a hard time finding it. When you go to work on your car, sometimes you need to hold a flashlight to see what you're doing. Well, there may be a tool to help you do it all.
In this week's "Don't Buy It, Until We Try It," I tried out the iScope.When you go to work on your car, trying see what your doing can be a challenge. Well, this may work a little better for you. It's called the iScope and it promises to brighten up dark spaces. But, does it actually work? Well, Don't Buy It, Until We Try It.As Harry's Tire Service mechanic Derek Olson pulls a vehicle into the garage and pops open the hood to start working, there's a big challenge ahead of him. "It's dark. You have various parts on the engine. It's hard to get a light that's three inches around in a hole that's two inches."To light up the area underneath the hood, Olson uses florescent, hanging and hand-held lights, depending on the type of repair. "They get caught up in plug wires and fans."That can be frustrating. So, we decided to put the iScope telescopic light to the test. "It feels kind of flimsy actually," said Olson. "It doesn't turn on."After reading over the directions, we just had to remove the white piece of paper protecting the batteries. Then, the LED lights finally came on. "When they are small LED's, they work really well in dark areas," said Olson.We attached the iScope to the hood of the car. The magnet stays securely in place and provides Olson with a little more light. When you have stray parts, the iScope makes them easy to remove."The magnetic part sticks on both ends. It gets the long reach on it and bends on the end. It was a lot more than I expected out of a three bulb light," said Olson.Don't let its compact size fool you. It attached to the hood of the car, helping to light up dark places. Once you're done, it folds up easily and is ready to put in your pocket. So, this week's "Don't Buy It, Until We Try It," earns a thumbs up. If there are any "As Seen on TV" products you would like to test out, contact me via email at firstname.lastname@example.com or send me a message on Facebook.

Here's the good news about Gio Gonzalez: He's working on a one-hitter!
Here's the bad news about Gio Gonzalez: He's losing to the Cardinals, 2-1! In just four innings, he's matched his regular-season high with five walks! And he's thrown 83 pitches already!
Aside from his wild second inning -- in which he walked four Cardinals and wild-pitched a runner home -- Gonzalez has actually pitched well enough, except for that big pitch count. In the bottom of the fourth, Gonzalez gave up a leadoff single to David Freese, but held the Cardinals in check after that.
Meanwhile, Adam Wainwright suffered his own bout of wildness in the second inning, but his wasn't as serious or as damaging. Wainwright has thrown only 62 pitches in his four innings, despite having seven strikeouts already. Wainwright reached double figures in strikeouts just once all season, and even that comes with an asterisk; in August, he struck out a dozen Astros.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The card came quickly, looked exactly as pictured, and they even added another line that wasn't part of the template, and sent me a proof to review within 6 minutes (!!!) of submitting my order. How awesome is that? I love this site. We got our wedding invitations here too, so I knew to expect good things, but it's always nice to feel even MORE impressed. I'll definitely be back."
"I got great feedback from all the ladies I sent the invitation to. Wedding paper divas was willing to work with me on multiple edits, including increasing my delivery time. I did not have to wait on hold or wait for emails. The company was very prompt and helpful!"
"I haven't sent the invite out yet but I know my best friend will be thrilled with it for her shower!! Excellent quality, heavy cardstock & very quick shipping! Thank you!"
"The personalization was easy and correct. The Color was exactly as pictured and the quality of the paper was great. I was looking for an invitation that was elegant vs. cute. This card was it. I received a lot of compliments on it. Simple elegance."
"Used this card for my sister's bridal shower. I am always worried about paper quality and this was great - very sturdy. The card itself is so elegant and the name in pink is a nice pop! I paid extra for the pearl shimmer on the card and envelopes - glad I did bc they are fabulous! I received many compliments."

I made this and added a balsamic glaze to one side of the bread. Turned out very good! I also made one that had avocado on it and will do that again as well. This is a fresh sandwich that is perfect for a summer afternoon.
Reviewed Jul. 23, 2013
This was just too much for both my husband and I. I guess you could say it was overpowering with all that bread and cheese. I'm surprised because I love all the ingredients. Maybe it would be better to use a different kind of bread or less cheese?
Reviewed May. 10, 2013
I did make it with Swiss instead of Mozz since that was what we had on hand.

Norton, Mass. - May 5, 2012 - The Springfield College baseball team's season came to a close on Saturday afternoon as it fell to Babson College, 10-3, in the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Baseball Championship Saturday afternoon at Sidell Stadium.
Seeded No. 3 in the tournament, the Beavers (22-18) will face No. 1 seed and defending NEWMAC Champion Wheaton at 3:40 p.m. Babson must defeat the Lyons (33-8) this afternoon and again Sunday at noon to claim the title while Wheaton only needs to defeat the Beavers once to collect its 12th tournament championship. Last weekend, the Lyons knocked off WPI 2-0 and Babson 3-1 to advance to the championship in the double-elimination format.
Junior Trevor Boyce went 4-for-5 with four RBI for to lead Babson College to victory.
After stranding a pair of runners in the first, Babson struck for three runs in the second to grab the early lead. The Beavers loading the bases behind a pair of walks by Springfield senior starting pitcher Greg Marakovits and a double off the bat of junior John Botelho (Tempe, Ariz.). Boyce was then hit by a pitch to bring in the first run of the game, and junior Chris Kucher followed with a two-run double down the left field line that plated two for a 3-0 Babson lead.
In Springfield's half of the third, senior Mike Corletta laced a single through the left side to open the frame and scored on a bloop double by Smith to knock the donut off the scoreboard and bring the Pride to within two at 3-1. A walk to sophomore Mike McGowan and a four-pitch walk to classmate Frank Calabrese loaded the bases for senior Karl Quist, who brought in the second Springfield run with a walk on a full count.
Babson answered with two runs in the fourth to take a 5-2 lead and chase Marakovits from the game. Boyce and Kucher recorded back-to-back singles before senior Travis Jonasson smacked a two-run double inside the first base bag that brought in both runners.
In the fifth, junior Matt Milano lifted a sac fly to right that scored McGowan and got Springfield back to within two runs at 5-3. However, the Pride gave the run back in the sixth with a bases loaded walk to junior Conor Kortmann. A two-run triple by Boyce in the seventh broke the game open and staked Babson to an 8-3 lead. Kucher followed with a long sac fly to center to score Boyce for a 9-3 Babson advantage, and Boyce's RBI single in the ninth capped the scoring.
Sophomore Derek Richard threw 117 pitches over six-plus innings to improve to 4-5 on the season for the Beavers. He allowed eight hits and three runs with six walks and three strikeouts. Marakovits, meanwhile, surrendered six hits and five runs in 3.1 innings of work. He walked four, hit three batters, and struck out three to fall to 4-3. Sophomore Jon Medici allowed two runs with two walks in 0.2 IP in relief for Springfield. Senior Jeff Buress worked three scoreless innings in relief for Babson to earn his first save of the season.
Boyce scored three runs while Botelho notched two doubles, Kucher had two hits, and Matvichuk scored twice. Quist and Milano each tallied an RBI for the Pride while Calabrese had three hits.

"I owe my soul to the company store." That old song lyric by Tennessee Ernie Ford pretty much sums up the situation in Georgetown.
Back in 2003, Georgetown was faced with water problems. All its water came from the Little Vermilion River at a dam south of town. When it rained, the water was muddy. When it was hot, the water smelled bad. When the carp in the river spawned, the water even tasted bad. The reservoir was silting in with the water only 5 feet deep.
The people of Cayuga, Ind., realizing the dire need of Georgetown, prevailed upon the city and state governments to allow a well to be drilled in Cayuga near their own well. They charge no fees for this water. That water is the best water Georgetown has ever had.
The water is now under contract to the proposed new Sunrise LLC coal mine near Homer, 20 miles from Georgetown. The Georgetown mayor has signed a contract, with no public input or vote, to provide a 500,000 gallons a day of drinking water to waste by the coal mine washing dust off the coal it will sell.
Look at the three existing coal mines near Georgetown, all closed, but still possibly polluting the Little Vermilion River and the Middlefork and the Salt Fork.
Water is too precious to waste washing coal. What does a bottle of water cost? That's what they should pay. You will. Check it out: Georgetown ordinance 13-0617.

Year 1
- Regular Freshman curriculum in Harvard College
- Studio instruction (one hour per week) at NEC
- Introductory classes in music theory and musicology at Harvard or NEC if possible
- Spring semester promotional at NEC required of all majors
- Ensemble participation, by advisement, appropriate to the area of music specialization at either institution is encouraged
At the end of the freshman year, students will choose a field of concentration in accordance with Harvard's academic requirements. Those students enrolled in the joint program may choose to concentrate in music, any other subject, or a joint concentration of music and another discipline.
Years 2 and 3
- Courses as required at Harvard; some credits may later transfer to NEC by advisement
- Studio instruction at NEC (one hour per week)
- Spring semester promotional each year
- Ensemble participation, by advisement, appropriate to the area of music specialization at either institution is encouraged.
During NEC's promotional period prior to the end of the third academic year at Harvard, students' preparedness to continue into the Masters degree part of the joint program will be reviewed and confirmed by a faculty jury at NEC. The result will be communicated to the student prior to the end of Harvard's academic year.
Students are allowed to transfer a limited number of courses completed at Harvard to the MM program at NEC. Each semester-long course taken at Harvard is the equivalent of 2 graduate semester hours of credit at NEC.
Year 4
Concluding year of AB degree combined with first year of MM study
Students should take the NEC Master's Music Theory Competency Exam and teh Master's Music History Exam if they have not already done so. Successful completion of these exams is a degree requirement of the MM at NEC. Students must pass the MM Theory exam prior to enrolling in any NEC theory course. Students who do not pass the exam may elect to retake the exam in the fifth year or enroll in graduate remedial courses at NEC.
- Concluding curricular requirements for AB degree at Harvard
- Studio instruction at NEC
- Chamber Music (string majors only) for one semester at NEC or by substitution. Music 180 is approved for this requirement for 1 credit. Students wishing to take Music 187 at Harvard must have prior approval from NEC to receive 1 credit toward the chamber music requirement.
- Ensemble participation, by advisement
- First year Master of Music promotional evaluation at NEC (all majors except music theory)
- MM coursework at NEC by advisement.
- Additional requirements may be required of students in Collaborative Piano, Vocal Pedagogy and Wind Ensemble Conducting.
The promotional evaluation at the end of the first year of MM study consists of an instrumental (or vocal) jury, and, for composition majors, a portfolio review.
Year 5
If students have not yet passed the Master's Music Theory and History Competency Exams, they must take the exam during the Orientation week of the start of the fifth year. Successful completion of these exams is a degree requirement. Students who do not pass the exams will enroll in graduate remedial courses at NEC.
- Studio instruction at NEC
- Ensemble participation as required for MM to be fulfilled at NEC
- MM coursework by advisement.
- Graduation recital required for most majors
In the fifth year, students must earn the balance remaining of a total of 42-44 credits required to earn the MM degree, depending on the major. A minimum of 30-32 graduate credits must be earned in courses/studio taken at NEC during years the fourth and fifth years.

That should have been 1-0 Bayern Munch. Arjen Robben, back in the team after recovering from a pubic bone infection, has been pretty quiet all day, mostly thanks to Marcel Schmelzer kicking him as hard as possible whenever he sees him, which is frequently. However, Robben's a crafty sort of fellow, and managed to escape his long-haired assailant for long enough to set up Franck Ribery for the Frenchman to shoot from an angle inside the box.
He probably should have scored and he definitely should have tested Roman Weidenfeller, but instead he blasted the ball at least 20 yards over. Yuck. A few minutes after the miss, Ribery had a penalty call turned down after falling over, which he seems displeased with. Borussia Dortmund hadn't made significant inroads into Bayern territory for some time, but they're still a threat - Robert Lewandowski pulled off a nice bit of skill to blow past Philipp Lahm and cross for Kevin Grosskruetz, but Rafinho just managed to clear for a corner. Manuel Neuer wouldn't have stood a chance if that ball had actually reached the back post.

It's the dead of winter in KOTA Territory which has many people yearning for warmer weather. Including about one and a half million college students across the country preparing for spring break.
And with spring break, often comes parties, drinking, and beaches.
But, we found several local students who have a different idea. And that would be volunteering.
"We're going to Bogota, Colombia," says Cole Bedford, a student at South Dakota School of Mines and Technology.
"We're going to Florida to Port St Joe's State Buffer Preserve," says Lorrin Anderson, a student at Black Hills State University.
To turn the stereotypical party scene of spring break, into a time to help others.
"They're going to take us around to meet people and discover projects," says Tony Kulesa, President of the Student Chapter of Engineers & Scientists Abroad at the School of Mines.
"Anything that they need done that we can help with, we're more than happy to help with," says Anderson.
It's called Alternative Spring Break, a program students from both Black Hills State and the School of Mines participate in.
"I went to this last year in California and it was a great experience," says Anderson.
"In the past students have gone to Chile to do water quality type work, layout for an orphanage in Chile, they've done water quality in Tanzania and Egypt," says Bedford, who still gets to do what he loves most, travel.
"And to get that aspect of your spring break but also to do something productive is for me a lot more valuable than just going to party somewhere," says Bedford.
And for many students it is a time to party. According to the World Press, more than 83 percent of students on spring break will drink every night, and they average ten drinks per night.
"Going to some resort destination to party for a week, but I really like what we're doing here, taking it a little bit further and hopefully going to benefit from it," says Kulesa.
"Mainly they are going to experience the opportunity to monumentally change and impact a place, and usually it's a non-profit or a place that really needs the help," says Michelle Cole, Alternative Spring Break Advisor at BHSU.
"As a student and an engineer in the future it'll be a great experience to have on my resume," says Kulesa.
"They were so thankful to have our help and it was a very rewarding experience," says Anderson.
Both groups of students leave early March and until then, they'll be fundraising to help off-set the cost.
Tony Kulesa says in an interview, "We pay for much of what we spend on trips through student buy-in. But, we fundraise as much as possible from local businesses and alumni. It is a relentless battle of networking and fostering relationships with past and future donors to continue receiving donations for our cause. We have even a more difficult time with Engineers & Scientists Abroad than other student organizations because our projects are ever-changing. So each time around we are describing a new humanitarian program or a new project cause to potential donors."
Below are some ways you can donate to lend a helping hand:
To donate to Black Hills State University students who are going to Port Saint Joseph State Buffer Preserve in Florida, you can mail your contribution to:
BHSU Resident Life
1200 University St
Unit 9100
