30 years ago this month Southeast Arizona, including Tucson and Nogales, experienced some of the worst flooding on record.
The toll: 13 dead, hundreds injured, 1,300 homes destroyed or heavily damaged, 10,000 people displaced.
The estimated cost was $500 million in 1983 dollars, which adds up to over $1 billion today.
In Tucson banks of the Rillito River were washed away, dropping homes into the water.
The below image was taken by Peter Kresan in 1983 of the Pantano Wash near Golf Links.

According to the Tucson National Weather Service (NWS) the towns of Clifton, Duncan, Wilkleman, Hayden and Marana were almost entirely submerged in the floodwaters.

The flooding was triggered by heavy tropical downpours over the course of six days.
The surge of moisture came from a tropical storm that weakened off the west coast of Mexico.
The set-up in the atmosphere pumped that moisture into Arizona.
After the 1983 damage, changes were made to flood control efforts in Tucson.
In 2006, heavy rain in the Catalina Mountains flooded the Rillito River with even more water than in 1983.
But with improved flood control along the Rillito River, no homes were lost or damaged in that area.
However, there was damage in some homes along washes draining into the Rillito River.

UArts Will Present Readings of New Musical Crush by Yasmine Lever and Passing Strange's Stew and Heidi Rodewald
By Michael Gioia
Staged readings of Crush, a new musical featuring music by Passing Strange writers Stew (Tony winner for Best Book) and Heidi Rodewald with a book and lyrics by Yasmine Lever, will be offered Feb. 1-2 at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA, as part of the school's New Play Festival.
Directed by Charlie Gilbert Jr., director of the Ira Brind School of Theatre Arts at UArts, performances will be held Feb. 1 at 7 PM and Feb. 2 at 3 PM.
Erin Fleming, who will play Rob, and David Bardeen, who will play Alex Taylor, are featured alongside a cast of student performers that includes Suzanne Collins as Gemma, Marcus Bridell as Mel, AJ Lockhart as Sean, Nick Parker as Pastor Declan, Alaina Wis as Naomi, Alita Moses as Kenita, CJ Celeiro as Jason and Tory Bentz as Becky as well as ensemble members Cody Freeman and Greg Brown.
Here's how the work is described: "Loosely based on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Crush is the tale of a doomed inter-racial romance set against the backdrop of race riots in contemporary London."
Other members of the creative team include assistant director David Fertik, musical director Eric Ebbenga, assistant musical director Mike Pacifico, stage manager Emma Gould and dramaturg Aria Velz.
With the New Play Festival, the Brind School is "committed to providing its students with a range of experiences creating and developing new plays."

I don't understand why Palo Alto hasn't joined other local cities which are challenging the absurd housing requirements being imposed by the State.

Robyn Ellson is a name synonymous with the greater Kingsland real estate space. Starting her real estate career in 2011, she quickly gained market share in Kingsland off the back of her huge energy and drive. Robyn currently holds 12 Street Price Records in this area.
In 2012, Robyn was awarded by the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand the national "Residential Rookie of the Year" across all brands and agencies nationwide. To date she has sold over $80 million worth of property from Herne Bay to Sandringham.
Renowned for her brilliant copywriting and presentation of properties, Robyn is not only an exceptional marketer, she is also an exceptional strategist and fierce negotiator for her vendors.
A career in the PR and marketing field prior to real estate gives her vendors an edge when it comes to selling their property. First and foremost she is a vendors agent, demanding excellence always – not only from herself but from her wider brand and colleagues.
Robyn is backed up by a brilliant Personal Assistant, Nicolle Hook, who ensures that the business runs smoothly for our clients, while Robyn is out doing what she does best – negotiating and selling.
Custom Residential Rookie of the Year – 2011
REINZ Residential Rookie of the Year – 2012
Achieves $50 million in property sales – 2013
Highest grossing Individual Sales Person for Custom Residential 2012, 2013 and Q1, Q2 – 2014
Robyn was excellent to deal with. She is extremely professional, confident, and genuine. She instils confidence and makes you feel like you have control of your house sale by steering you gently in the right direction. We felt we could trust her with our beloved house, to achieve the best possible sale to another family. She did this efficiently within a few short weeks.
She is a warm, and friendly person with a great sense of style, and a lovely reassuring manner. We would highly recommend Robyn to anyone considering selling their home.
Robyn worked tirelessly to ensure we achieved a fantastic auction result.
Robyn's ability to connect with potential buyers was evident the first time we met her. Robyn was confident she would have great success in selling our apartment and achieved what she set out to do. Robyn is warm yet professional and her ability to connect with potential buyers sets her apart from other agents.
Robyn showed outstanding judgement throughout our sale and went above and beyond our expectations to provide potential buyers with the information they required, whilst being very personable and easy to deal with.
I have no hesitation recommending Robyn. In fact, I would go so far as to insist you take on Robyn as your agent!
We just wanted to say what a fantastic experience it has been for us to work with Robyn and Jamie over the past few weeks. Having bought and sold 5 houses we've had all sorts of experiences and Robyn and Jamie have been second to none.
Professional, passionate, and focused on getting us the best possible price, Jamie and Robyn well and truly surpassed our expectations in terms of the work done during the process and the outcome. We thought the weekly written reports were great and the way that they communicated with us as well as the potential purchasers in the lead up to the auction was fantastic.
They were friendly and engaging throughout and guided us whilst respecting our wishes at all times. We would hire them again in a heartbeat.
In a highly competitive market, we chose Robyn Ellson to sell our house as we were really impressed with her local knowledge, experience and her understanding of the current market. Robyn gave us great advice on how to maximise our home's potential. Robyn was committed to getting us the best sale price possible and worked tirelessly to achieve this for us. We would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking to sell their house.
Robyn from Custom Residential was my first choice because of how proactive I find her to be. Selling not one but two houses in Rocky Nook Avenue took a lot of hard work and energy that Robyn provides in spades. The results speak for themselves. Robyn produced two happy buyers which left me a happy vendor. I could not recommend any other agent more highly. Thanks again Robyn!
Kris Meyer, 1 and 3 Rocky Nook Avenue, Kingsland
Robyn, I really appreciated your high standards. Your presentation of my property was exceptional - the best I have ever seen in this bracket. Thank-you for an exceptional result, and in record time too!
Who will you get to sell your house?
Do you want a tip from me?
Robyn's the one I'd recommend
To sell your property!
She's excited by the challenge
She turns drudgery into fun
When she rungs her eye over your house
Who knows what it will become!
Going way beyond what I expected
She took my old rental in hand
And knowing what the market rejected
She organized cleaning and work, as we planned
When it was polished and gleaming
She filled it with flowers and fronds
With style and fashion and vision
She transformed "a lame duck" to a "swan"!
She styled the house with mirror
With candles and sofas and art
So that all who crossed the threshold
Knew that this was a house with a heart
She networked in the local community
With enthusiasm, passion and style
Attentive to detail and available
Always ready to go the next mile
As an owner she gave me good measure
With feedback and phone calls overseas
I relaxed and enjoyed a good holiday
Knowing Robyn was safe with the keys!
She left nothing to chance in her dealings
To the purchasers she extended her aid
She gave them access for quotes and new tenants
Well after their deal was made
And the deal was made in heaven
Nine hundred and fifty to bank
And the bidders were smiling and happy
Which left only Robyn to thank
So if you are wanting an agent
Hardworking, creative and fun
Take my word and choose Robyn
Before long, you'll find the job done!

Thanks Robyn, Clive and I have been impressed with your professionalism, enthusiasm and regular communications throughout our listing and marketing process. The price we received for Bright St was beyond our expectations, but it is your handling of the sale that we most appreciate.
Feeling dubious about using an agent because of cost we were going to attempt to sell our property ourselves. After meeting Robyn and being impressed with her knowledge of the neighbourhood, her energy, motivation and creativity we didn't look back. Robyn was worth every penny, is hard working, sold our house in less than a week and got us a very good price.
As first time home sellers she supported us through what is an overwhelming process and reassured us with her confidence and professionalism. We couldn't have done it without her.
We recommend Robyn to everyone - all agents should be like this.
Robyn explored every option possible for the sale of my ex-rental property in Kingsland. Unbeknownst to me the property had been poorly managed by my property manager for several years and the house had gotten into bad shape.
Before going to sale, Robyn sat down with me and explored every option to achieve the best outcome, whether to spend some money on fixing the property up or selling as is. After much consideration and her monitoring the market temperature towards do-up opportunities, we decided to bite the bullet and sell the home as is.
Robyn gave me regular updates over the course of the campaign and was prepared to adapt the strategy to suit market conditions. After the first weekend of open homes, she advised me to change my strategy to an auction campaign. I was initially against the idea, but she explained the reasoning behind it well. The auction enabled us to add some urgency from our side and push interested parties to either put in a pre-auction offer or wait and see what the market would pay on auction day.
As it happened we received a pre-auction offer that sealed the deal and I am now able to move onto my next project. Honesty, high integrity and complete dedication to getting my property sold, Robyn never drifted from the task at hand when things got tough… She just got stuck in and closed the deal. I wouldn't use any other agent.
When we first met Robyn we were slightly dubious as to how successful she might be at trying to sell our property. But as she was willing to work within our stringent requirements (10 days to achieve a sale with no marketing budget) we were willing to give her a shot. Needless to say we were quite surprised to find her presenting an offer just shy of our dream figure some 24 hours later. We're experience developers in the property game and we know the mark of a good agent. Persistence, tenacity and stealth negotiation is what's required. She might look sweet, but she's certainly no push over when it comes to achieving a top sale result for her vendors. Highly recommend.
Buying our first home was so daunting, all the paper work and buyers jargon was enough to keep us renting for the rest of our lives!! Robyn took care of these elements for us and we simply had to ready our finances. Robyn, being of a first buyers age bracket understands and sympathises with the huge financial decision this has on a young couple. I'd recommend her to anyone looking to buy their first home in Auckland.
We had been looking in the area for a while with a view to buying our first home. We had made an offer on another property a month or two previously but the deal fell over, partly we felt due to a lack of adequate follow up from the agent managing the sale. I was surprised to find out later that this property still hadn't sold and had since been taken off the market.
Robyn couldn't be more different an agent. Proactive, she rang us the same day we'd viewed another property in the area to find out exactly what we were looking for and then told us about another property she'd listed just that day that seemed to match our criteria. As it turned out it was exactly what we were looking for and she worked hard to make it happen for us. She took our offer that day and three days later the salewent unconditional. It couldn't have been easier and we'd recommend her to anyone serious about selling their home.
The process of selling your house is overwhelming at the best of times, so understandably when we were choosing an agent to represent our best interests; we took this process very seriously. We met with several agents and they all delivered their best speeches, promising the greatest of intentions, but what made Robyn and Custom Residential stand out from the crowd was Robyn's ability to listen and cater to our situation and her spirited enthusiasm for Eden Terrace.
Living at the opposite end of the country meant we needed total faith in our agent and Robyn instilled this from day one.
Robyn's knowledge on the area is impressive and her motivation is second to none. Adding this to Custom Residential's impeccable, first class marketing campaign makes a winning combination.
We were confident we would get a result with Robyn's help, but we were pleasantly surprised with the quick, favorable results she was able to produce. In one week, with one open home and strategic marketing we had an offer that quickly became unconditional.
Robyn made the whole process effortless. Always happy to talk and share a laugh but equally at home with the sensitive serious matters.
Without hesitation, we recommend Robyn and Custom Residential to all prospective buyers and sellers in the Eden Terrace / city suburbs area.
Robyn Ellson is a spirited and creative marketer who approaches each task with great conscientiousness and energy. She has an impressive knack for creating creative promotional plans, presentations and budgets under pressure. Robyn is particularly notable for her ability to marshal a wide range of reliable suppliers and to manage them well through difficult deadlines and dynamic situations.
Robyn was part of the Bullet PR team working on the 2degrees mobile account.
Throughout the time I worked with Robyn she was instrumental in organising a number of media events for the company including the launch of 2degrees' 3G network and the launch of a new android handset. Robyn approached both events with creativity, attention to detail and demonstrated fantastic project management skills.
Robyn is thoughtful, creative, organised and incredibly personable.

So long, warm weather.
As temperatures in Winchester and throughout the region begin to drop to a more average level for the month of December on Wednesday, Massachusetts State Police issued a warning about driving in poor weather conditions.
The warning comes after the National Weather Service issued a hazardous weather outlook and a flood watch for most of the state, including Winchester, on Wednesday.
While some areas throughout the state will see rain change over to snow, Winchester will see a majority of rainfall throughout the evening, according to NWS.
"Rain will continue through this afternoon with additional areas of rain moving through tonight," the Flood Watch stated. "Embedded convection within the area of rain tonight will contribute to higher rainfall rates during the overnight period . . . flooding of poor drainage and urban areas is likely, along with potential small stream flooding."
The flood watch remains in effect from 5 p.m. Wednesday through Thursday morning, according to NWS.
State Police reiterated the warning in a news statement Wednesday afternoon, during which they urged drivers to be vigilant about driving cautiously in the bad weather conditions.
"Localized flooding may occur across much of the state," State Police said in the statement. "Motorists are reminded to drive slowly, to leave extra space between themselves in the vehicles ahead of them, and to avoid driving through standing water and large puddles."
State Police went on to state that the timing of Wednesday's storm will leave messy conditions for the Thursday morning commute, and drivers are urged to be aware of any potential black ice along the roadways.

The Nationals have been without closer Drew Storen all of the year, cycling through relievers like Henry Rodriguez and Brad Lidge before settling on Tyler Clippard, which they probably should have done to begin with.
Now Storen's back following elbow surgery, and the Nationals had to make room for him in a somewhat-surprising way:
Source: #Nationals designate OF Rick Ankiel for assignment to clear roster spot for RHP Drew Storen.— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) July 19, 2012
Ankiel has turned always something of a two-tool player, with only his power and arm rating as above-average. He was hitting .228/.282/.411 in 158 at-bats. Considering that he can play a decent center, and his power and arm are still above-average, the Nationals are likely to work out a trade.
It's somewhat surprising the Nationals chose to part with Ankiel rather than Mark DeRosa, who is hitting .122/.279/.184 in 49 at-bats, and .211/.305/.259 since the beginning of 2010, but apparently the Nationals value his ability to play infield positions as well as corner-outfield spots. But that rationale ignores that Ankiel can pitch!

The dream was stirred years ago for Travis Pastrana, nearly half a lifetime now for the Maryland-born motocross and X Games superstar who is about to turn 30 and is in the midst of trying his fourth extreme sport: NASCAR.
The reality has come in the past month.
As Pastrana has gone from being a rock star on a motorcycle to a rookie driver hoping to prove he belongs in the Nationwide Series — the equivalent of baseball's Triple-A for stock-car racing — the results have been encouraging but inconsistent. He's had everything from two top-10 finishes in his first three races to earning the pole at Talladega and then crashing 71 laps into the 110-lap race.
Once called "the boy who could fly" because of his big-air motocross exploits, Pastrana has been grounded by his introduction to what he calls "four wheel" racing.
"I've never started so far at the bottom in another sport," Pastrana said Friday morning, sitting in the back office of his hauler before practicing for Saturday's 5-Hour ENERGY 200 at Dover International Speedway. "There are so many great guys that have worked [longer] and some of these younger kids that have been racing their whole life, and they are good, man.
"That's [a] funny thing, coming from the outside, you think, 'They're turning left, how good can they be?' It's amazing how much talent these guys have and how close the racing really is. … I've been able to chase my dreams and do exactly what I've loved to do every day. I take more chances than most people because I believe they will work."
The desire to drive racecars began when a teenage Pastrana was the emerging megastar in motocross. Shortly after getting his driver's license, he qualified for the World Rally Car championships.
"I was 16 years old and they were letting me drive a $750,000 car, it was 'Game on,'" Pastrana recalled with a laugh. "I've always loved racing; competition is what always drove me. A lot of guys who came from the off-road tread racing said that the best, closest form of racing if you're a competitor is NASCAR.
"I didn't really understand the sport, I watched the Daytona 500, but when I did my first pavement race down in Florida, Tony Stewart was at that race and I thought, 'This is so cool!' We ended up on the lead lap. I got my butt kicked, but thought, 'I've got to figure this out.'"
That has yet to happen. Not that Pastrana is discouraged by his recent results, including crashing last week at Charlotte, or is lacking the confidence that made him the most successful and one of the most fearless ever to race, jump or flip a motorcycle.
The same bravado that once gave a Red Bull-fueled Pastrana the nerve to jump out of an airplane without a parachute (he had the ultimate leap of faith timed to join a friend with a chute in midair) allows him to race at more than 175 mph.
"I think for me, I want to be going for a win, and realistically if things fall in place, it's possible, especially if there's a restrictor plate race or where there's more luck involved than driver skill, something like that," said Pastrana, who finished 15th in Saturday's race after qualifying 16th.
"I think it's very difficult to say, 'OK, I'm just going to drive within my means.' I always want to be, 'That guy's going faster. Why can't I do this? It's a car, I should be able to drive it as fast as that guy does.' Every race that I've set out and I have driven within my means, it's been my best results."
The mental aspect has been the toughest part of the transition.
"It's very different in one aspect — everything else I've ever been successful at, you could go out, take a chance and make up time," Pastrana said. "In motocross, you can jump further, you can wheelie into a set of whoops; in freestyle, if you have a trick everyone's kind of thinking about but no one has the guts to try, you can still go for it. You might crash, but that's how you win.
"In NASCAR, it's so precise that you can't really make up any time, but you can lose a lot of time. If you go harder, you'll burn the tires, you can slide too much, you can actually go slower. And that's been very challenging for me. The harder I try to race, the faster I try to go, the slower I go and the worse my results are. It's more a controlled skilled set than a guts thing."
Lyndsey Pastrana, known to her skateboarding fans as Lin-Z Adams Hawkins, said that her husband has "always been very calculated in everything he does," but said he gets frustrated at times.
"I think he enjoys it, but it's also tough for him. It's harder to do better, but because he can't go home and work out harder, it's frustrating for him to feel that there's not as much he can do during the week," she said in a telephone interview Friday night.
As much time as he spends during the week with a simulator or working out or watching tape of his pit stops, Pastrana knows nothing can replace the hours racing — "seat time" the drivers call it.
Lyndsey Pastrana said NASCAR has allowed her husband to focus more on one goal.

Snow Week 08 by Social.Outkasts - over 6 years ago
"There is a annual tournament week at my highschool where students make teams of 10 people, 5 guys and 5 girls to compete in boot hockey, dodgeball, volleyball, and a relay race. My team didn't do so well but we had fun and many people commented on our funny name. Customink was awesome because I got to put what I wanted on the shirts and the prices were reasonable."

New Orleans, La. -- While no city has been more impacted by hurricanes than New Orleans, most people in south Louisiana have never experienced the wind power of a major hurricane.
Katrina came ashore in Plaquemines Parish as a Category Three, but the winds in New Orleans made it seem more like a Category Two from the standpoint of winds.
In fact, unless you live in Plaquemines, or the extreme eastern parts of St. Bernard and St. Tammany, you have not experienced the wind power of a major hurricane.
Here are some of the effects of hurricane force winds, according to a NOAA web site:
Very dangerous winds will produce some damage: Well-constructed frame homes could have damage to roof, shingles, vinyl siding and gutters. Large branches of trees will snap and shallowly rooted trees may be toppled. Extensive damage to power lines and poles likely will result in power outages that could last a few to several days.
Extremely dangerous winds will cause extensive damage: Well-constructed frame homes could sustain major roof and siding damage. Many shallowly rooted trees will be snapped or uprooted and block numerous roads. Near-total power loss is expected with outages that could last from several days to weeks.
Devastating damage will occur: Well-built framed homes may incur major damage or removal of roof decking and gable ends. Many trees will be snapped or uprooted, blocking numerous roads. Electricity and water will be unavailable for several days to weeks after the storm passes.
Catastrophic damage will occur: Well-built framed homes can sustain severe damage with loss of most of the roof structure and/or some exterior walls. Most trees will be snapped or uprooted and power poles downed. Fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential areas. Power outages will last weeks to possibly months. Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months.

Talk about a time-proven audience pleaser. "Try to Remember" a time when this romantic musical wasn't enchanting audiences around the world.
"The Fantasticks" is the world's longest-running production of any kind and with good reason: At the heart of its poetry and theatrical sophistication is a purity and simplicity that transcends cultural barriers. The result is a timeless fable of love that manages to be nostalgic and universal at the same time.
It is a moving tale of young lovers who become disillusioned, only to discover a more-mature, meaningful love. Punctuated by a bountiful series of catchy, memorable songs, many of which have become standards, audiences will find themselves humming along to such classics as "Try to Remember" and "Soon It's Gonna Rain."
Through director Carl Beck, costume designer Georgiann Regan and scenic designer Jim Othuse comes a fresh new steam-punk adaptation of this classic musical.
"It's not an intrusive concept," Beck said of bringing steam punk to the musical. "It seems like the allegoric quality can blend with the fantasy, giving it a quasi-period feel and making for a stronger statement than (the musical) usually gets."
Beck added that the story has not been rewritten or changed in any way. Outside of the costumes, set and props, this show is the original. "It's classical simplicity," he said. "It's not a contemporary character tale. It's about a boy who is overly in love with a girl whose fathers are trying to keep them together by pulling them apart. Steam punk seems to lend itself to this story by finding beauty among the broken pieces."
"The Fantasticks," written by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, opened May 3, 1960, at the Sullivan Street Playhouse in New York City's Greenwich Village with stage, film and television actor Jerry Orbach in the leading role.
The production went on to play a record-breaking 17,162 performances before closing on Jan. 13, 2002, making it the world's longest-running musical.
This tour of "The Fantasticks" will play the Paul A. Johnston Auditorium in Smithfield at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 19. Advance tickets are $15 for adults and $12.50 for seniors, students and military personnel. Tickets at the door are $17.50. For tickets, visit jccperformingarts.com or call 919-209-2099.

Re: new user 53 super M?
ok, the sun set on me and I had just enough time to drain the engine oil. Milky white as expected but ..........total oil drained was about 3 gallons The filter was pretty sludgy. I am hoping the previous owner just saw a dip in pressure do to the sludge and added more oil I will know tomorrow as I am draining what coolant is in the radiator and then firing it up
Re: new user 53 super M?
changed oil with rotella 30 weight as recomended. Coolant actually looked pretty good although, the drain pipe was clogged with gunk at first and is stripped as the bolt will not tighten. Replaced plugs with autolite 386. Ran the engine for about five-seven minutes, then checked the oil. Dip stick has a very slight milky hint to it. opened the drain plug on the oil filter housing and it is a decent milky color. I would imagine this is normal for the first change?? All thoughts welcome of course. Did a compression test prior to running engine. #1-84, #2-80, #3-66?? did again #3-82, #4-89 This was all with four bumps of the needle.
Re: new user 53 super M?
Dipstick? Are you sure you're checking engine oil with that dipstick?
The Super M does not normally have a dipstick on the engine. You check the oil level by opening the petcocks on the side of the oil pan.
The only dipstick on a Super M would be the one in the belly pump hydraulic reservoir under the gas tank.
Odds are good that you will have to change the oil 2-3 times to get all the water contamination out, but you need to run it more than 5 minutes. The water isn't hurting anything really at this point.
Re: new user 53 super M?
Compression at cranking speed is low 90's on your engine, so you're not far off. Were those numbers "wet" or "dry" choke open? All the numbers are close, that makes a huge difference. A valve adjustment couldn't hurt anything while you're messin' around with it...
Like Matt said it'll take a couple changes to get that mess out. Take the ol' gal and get ger good and hot then dump that oil.
Member IHCC Chapter 37 & 42 - North Carolina
Re: new user 53 super M?
The engine that is in this tractor is actually yellow in color. I figure either someone painted it or it came from an industrial application. There is a screw in dip stick that is about a 1/4 inch diameter steel tube, located right side about middle of block. Ill try and get some pics. It has fresh oil on it. I have it firing right up but it misses and sputters on occasion throughout running and the throttle is very inconsistent It hangs high and hangs low, seems like the only smooth operation is in fifth gear? Would this be the carburetor or fuel pump? Never done a valve job/adj but there is always the first time.
Re: new user 53 super M?
also, the choke was open during the compression test.
Re: new user 53 super M?
Most of the manuals on CD that you will find on are single page pdf's. They can be a bear. You would be far better off to purchase an original Owner's Manual, Service Manual and Parts Manual as well as the Special Equipment manuals for your Super M. Here is a search string for Farmall Super M Manuals.
If you decide on a reprint the best ones are as Jim stated found at Binder Books - Letter Series Manuals
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Re: new user 53 super M?
Super M does not normally have a fuel pump. Fuel is gravity flow just like a Cub. If yours has a fuel pump then it's not a standard engine.
Sputtering may be dirty carburetor, need of a tuneup, or a simple timing adjustment.
Re: new user 53 super M?
Before tearing this tractor apart, get it some runtime with seafoam in the oil & gas. Let the seafoam do the cleaning.

Favre remains doubtful against Giants
Brett Favre expressed doubt to USA Today, and his head coach, Leslie Frazier, did the same to ESPN over whether the QB can play Monday night in Detroit against the Giants.
Patterson is back for Philly after being out due to viral pneumonia.||||||| Patterson missed the Thursday night game against the Bengals.
Patterson has been activated off the reserve/non-football illness list and is ready to play for the first time this season. Patterson is eligible for Monday night's game at New Orleans (2-5). Patterson says he's "really anxious" to return to the field and expects to play only a few snaps as he eases his way back into the lineup.||||||| He suffered a seizure at practice on Aug. 3, 2011, and was diagnosed with a brain AVM, or arteriovenous malformation, a prenatal condition in which blood travels abnormally between the arteries and veins. He played the first 15 games of last season but was not cleared to play for the start of this season because the incision where he had brain surgery in January hadn't fully healed.
The Philadelphia Eagles have ruled out defensive tackle Mike Patterson for their entire training camp and possibly more because the incision where he had brain surgery in January hasn't fully healed. Patterson was diagnosed with a brain malformation last August after suffering a seizure during a training camp practice at Lehigh University.||||||| Eagles head trainer Rick Burkholder said Sunday that a piece of Patterson's cranium was taken off in January so neurosurgeon Dr. Robert Spetzler could remove the arteriovenous malformation, a tangle of veins and arteries that doctors determined caused the seizure. Burkholder said Spetzler determined Friday after examining an X-ray and CT scan that the area of Patterson's cranium that he operated on hadn't healed sufficiently to allow Patterson to return to football.
Patterson, who collapsed and suffered a seizure at practice just 10 days ago, has returned to the Philadelphia Eagles.||||||| Patterson did not practice Saturday, but was in uniform doing strength and conditioning drills with trainer Rick Burkholder and several other teammates for the first time since his scary episode on an adjacent field. Patterson didn't answer questions, but he did smile broadly and tell reporters, "I feel great," while leaving the practice field.
The agent for Mike Patterson says the Eagles defensive tackle has been released from a hospital after suffering a seizure Wednesday at practice. Agent J.R. Rickert says in a statement Friday that Patterson is scheduled to see a neurologist in the next few days.||||||| On Thursday, Eagles trainer Rick Burkholder said Patterson has a brain condition that may require surgery. Rickert disputed a definite diagnosis of AVM, which are malformations or tangles of arteries and veins that alter blood flow. Earlier Friday, Eagles coach Andy Reid said Patterson "is making progress and getting tests done."

Indoor BMX park in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada
I am starting this petition to get the support of other bike riders in order to get a place to ride. The town of Newmarket and surrounding area have an indoor skatepark that does not allow the bikeing population into the park. My friends and I find this very unfair due to there is a large amount of bike riders in the area. I have talked to the local park organizer and they have told me that if the biking community can orgainize themselves there is a chance that there can be events and or even a chance for an indoor bike area. Thank you for supporting our cause.

Re: old saw
Some of the Sears may have been made by Simplicity, but simplicity was a stand alone company. The old simplicity was some of the best built garden and lawn tractors ever made, including being a pioneer in the hydrostat field. they made rigs for Homelite, Allis Chalmers, and I don't know what others. simplicity is owned by Briggs and Stratton now, and while they are still pretty god rigs, they are not the quality and level of engineering they used to be.

Re: old saw
Boy can you ever get an education/re-education in some of the most esoteric threads.....
From what I understood the Suburban line from Simplicity was marketed by Sears. After more reading it dawned on me that Simplicity is part of the Allis Chalmers family. David Bradley made a Suburban line for Sears. John was correct, David Bradley even produced the Suburbans .. which confused me as I understood that Suburban was a marque by Simplicity. Sears also sold Murray's after 1976. And they also sell MTD products but from what I can see from the units available here the majority are probably built by AYP such as the old Roper and Pulan lines as well as Husqvarna it seems. I stumbled across the Vintage Sears Garden Tractors pages. And another interesting site - Handiman Garden Tractors
Roper (I still have my Roper 12.5 Deluxe Craftman 38" Lawn Tractor), produced a lot of the Sears stuff (picked mine up in Bangor btw.. but was identical to the stuff sold here aside from the Made In USA sticker). Here is some of the information I found when searching for Roper Lawn Tractors:
There is more information at : Husqvarna Detailed Time Line AYP also builds parts for many brands including Rally, Roper and others.

The last garden tractor to carry the David Bradley name was in 1963, from '63 to '67 they were Sears. After that, no more walking tractors.
Tractors are made to work!

Re: old saw
To DB collectors this kind of saw unit is known as the "Saw from Hell". There were two styles, one was huge similar to the picture, and used a z or ZZ briggs engine, they were mounted on a 16" wheel just like the garden tractor used. There was no power to the wheels. One could fell a tree and then turn the head and buck it up. There was also a saw table that you could attach to the front, that worked like a buzz saw. The other saw used a small 12" wheel made of solid rubber. These had a model 6 or 8 briggs, and a lot smaller saw head, but worked the same as the bigger units. You could get a power drive system for them to become self propelled. There were also other attachments that fit on the smaller units, like a gen-set, a weed cutter, and a mower deck. I dont beleive the one pictured is a DB as the wheels look wrong, but the rest of it looks right. There were also units similar to this sold by Monkey Wards and another company that i cant find the name of right now. One model came with a post auger that replaced the saw head. Most of these saw units show up in the 50's Sears catalogs. All were made long before Roper came into the DB picture.
On the time line of Sears/DB. Sears was sued by the Feds in the late 59' for anti-trust. The gov claimed they had an unfair advantage over others because they owned the DB line and factory. In 1962 to settle this Sears sold DB to Newark Ohio, (a holding company also owned partly by Sears), who made small riding and walk behind lawn mowers. In 1964, DB was again sold to Roper(who was also partly owned by Sears), and Roper started the line of tractors called Customs, along with the orginal DB riders. The DB suburban line was stopped at the end of the 1965 model yr. In 1966 all tractors were now of the Roper design, using a foot clutch. In 1967 Roper got full owner ship of the DB plant and went on the build the complete Suburban line for Sears there until about 1984 when a huge labor strike shut down the plant. Unable or unwilling to settle it, Roper closed the plant, and moved there equipment somewhere out east.In 1986 a fire destoryed most of the orginal DB factory, and the city of Bradley took over the property. I believe the new line of tractors was then built by Electrolux, then by AYP, then went back to Electorlux and then to MTD???. I only collect the tractors before 1966, so i dont know all the details past a certain point.
Re: old saw
The first part of a Sears model number (in front of the dot) indicates who the manufacturer was. Sometimes this can help when searching for information or parts. Here is the most complete list I know of. It doesn't list anything for Simplicity or David Bradley. If anyone has those prefixes, he'd probably add them to the list.
Re: old saw
The list posted has been around since about the start of the internet. It really only reflects the vendors Sears used in the later yrs. If you look close you will see that Roper shows up 3 to 4 times. Roper started out as a maker of stoves back in the late 1800's, they never built any type of garden equipment until 1964. I would enter these numbers as makers of products for DB.
917. This is the orginal Sears code for the David Bradley line. . Any product built in the Bradley plant would carry this number.
231. This is Dunbar-Kapple, they are the makers of the hauling carts, both steel and wooden. For the IH Cubs they are the builders of metal cart.
223. This is electic wheel, of Quincy,IL, they were the makers of the 4 wheeled wagon running gears
411. This company, who i dont have the name handy for, built the first models of seeder units for the DB tractors.
454. This is Cole manufacturing, the makers of the field planters for the walk-behinds
597. This is Danville Manfacturing, the maker of the seeders from about 1953 to the end in the 70's. they also built the fert units for the seeders.
127. this is Continental motors, makers of the au7,au8, au85 engines.
There are several others, id have to look up, makers of the spraying equipment, the blitz foggers, gensets, mowers for the later suburbans made by haben, and items like that. I'd like to see a list from say the 50's, as its going to be completely differnt than this one.
Re: old saw
From all I can find in the Husqvarna Detailed Time Line - Husqvarna is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Electrolux. AYP is a wholly-owned subsidary of Husqvarna and has been since it was acquired in 1988 and at somepoint thereafter the name of the company was changed to AYP. One of the reasons I am curious about this .. especially AYP is that I have a 1990 era 12.5 38" Roper style Lawn Tractor that I want to restore. It was my workhorse for years until I got Ellie-Mae.
AYP is one of the very few Lawn and Garden units not owned by MTD. Nice that there is still a choice.
I think JD is one of the few who still have their own product line that they produce themselves. JD also has the Sabre line as well as a series that is built by Yanmar I think that produces some of the L&G equipment. Used to be a few years ago that if you bought a L&G unit from a JD Dealership it was a JD unit. Big Box units were substantially different - and I think they were sub-contract units. There was a significant price difference from Home Depot to Signature our local dealer at the time.

Re: old saw
One of the problem with researching the history of companies is, like after a war the victor tells the story. If you look into Ropers history they claimed to have built the Db suburban from the beginning. When they were still alive we got to talk with the orginal factory engineers of DB and got the true story. One of the DB guys even has some tape recorded interviews he made with these men. What one needs to find is something that was writen at the time a company accually was building the items. I had at one time a lot of info on Newark Ohio, from people who worked there, and the city records. I wasnt smart enough at the time to store it in more than one place, and now its locked up inside my old computer, that we havent been able to get running and retrive the files.

If you travel with teens/kids on this ship make sure to get the GPS iphones that you can rent on the ship. This ship is so big that being able to locate your child/teen on the GPS is reassuring. Go immediately to rent one when you get on the ship, however, as they sell out quickly.
Now to the smoking issue. We had a large group of smokers who were in the two rooms adjacent to us. They seemed to invite other smokers in to use the balconies in their rooms to smoke on as well. The two groups were friends and had removed the partition, so frequently there were large numbers of people smoking at once on the balcony. We were never able- even once- to use our balcony because of this. You should know that Royal Caribbean allows any number of people to smoke on the balconies with no limits. In our case there was at least two smokers on the balcony- but usually more, and sometimes a lot more at all hours of the day and night. If this happens to you, there is nothing you can do about it and Royal Caribbean won't control the situation. I'm surprised they are not concerned about liability if an asthmatic kid or adult has medical issues due to the smoking allowed.

Rebirth of the reverse mortgage?by Gerry Barker, Florida Home
Bank Rate
During the housing boom, the reverse mortgage was touted as a way for retirees to turn their home equity into cash. In essence, homeowners with a reverse mortgage take a loan against the equity in their home and do not have to pay it back while they are alive, so long as they remain in the home.
But when housing went bust, it took much of the reverse mortgage market with it.
Today, home equity conversion mortgages backed by the Federal Housing Administration make up a large percentage of the reverse mortgage market. But how can you choose the best reverse mortgage for your situation?

A homeless U.S. army veteran is beginning to turn his life around.
Jim Wolf is a veteran who has been struggling with poverty and alcoholism, and is shocked when he sees himself in a mirror following the transformation. With the help of a community event organizer, a Christian ministry and volunteer stylists, a 3-minute time-lapse, captured the complete makeover of the Grand Rapids, Mich. Veteran.
The time-lapse begins showing an unkempt Wolf sitting in a chair. Over three-hours, stylists cut his hair, trim and shave his beard and change his clothing. A tie and jacket complete the look.
Following the makeover, Wolf is overwhelmed by the site of his own reflection. He can be seen hugging production staff.According to the video, Wolf is now attending Alcoholics Anonymous and is working on securing his own housing.Watch the clip on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a6VVncgHcY.

Home Décor:Home Accents:Talavera-style Frog Planter
Talavera-style pottery techniques have been passed down through generations of Mexican craftspeople since the style was first introduced by Spaniards in the 17th century. The bright colors of this placid frog planter are part of the traditional color palette. Handcrafted in the talavera style in Dolores Hidalgo, Mexico.
Handcrafted in the talavera style in Dolores Hidalgo, Mexico. Outdoor-safe above 32°F. 10"W x 9 3/4"H x 10 1/2"D.
About Talavera Pottery
With roots in Andalusian Spain, the Mexican ceramic technique of talavera is the major craft of the state of Puebla. Earthenware pottery is covered with a white tin glaze, which is then decorated with pigments before the white glaze is fired. Since the tin glaze is highly viscous, it lends a glossy surface and helps the lines of the colored design remain crisp during firing.
The technique is a true cross-cultural craft evolution. In the 13th century, Arab potters brought tin glazing ceramic techniques from North Africa to southern Spain. The pottery was given the name maiolica by Italians who imported it from the Spanish island of Majorca. During the conquest, Spanish priests brought craftsmen from Talavera de la Reina, Spain, to the Puebla region of Mexico, where they taught the native craftsmen their Arab-Andalusian ceramic techniques. These early pieces, tiles and religious icons, decorated Catholic churches throughout the area. Over the years, Mexican craftsmen combined these new ideas with their existing earthenware traditions and developed a homegrown version that is now known by the Spanish name talavera.
Is it "Real" Talavera?
Just as true champagne can only be made in the Champagne region of northeast France, only talavera produced in the Mexican state of Puebla can be certified as authentic by the Talavera Regulating Council. The talavera-style pottery we sell at National Geographic is not certified authentic, for a variety of reasons. Pursuing certification can be an expensive process, and some of the small studios we work with, even if they are located in Puebla, choose not to incur that cost. But most importantly for us, authentic talavera must be produced according to the original methods from the 1600sthis includes the use of lead-based glazes. We prefer to err on the side of safety and only sell talavera-style items that meet or exceed FDA regulations for acceptable lead content.

This sculpture originated as a response to Ann Hamilton's piece "Volumen" (1995).
Through the use of a metal wire structure covered by sown fabric, I created a volumetric circle that isolated a specific space, thus implying a separation between "in" and "out" of the piece. Even though the sculpture itself did not rise more than four inches from the floor, the viewers felt that, by entering the space within the piece, they had cross a barrier and passed into a different - perhaps even isolated, space.

Santa may have already left the building, but that doesn't mean marketing or advertising stops, as an awards contender and blockbuster hopeful hit the small screen to get your hard earned cash. So let's dive in.
First up....listen, we know. It seems people can't shut up at this point about "Zero Dark Thirty," the most controversial movie of the year that most people haven't seen yet. Both Kathryn Bigelow and Jessica Chastain have weighed in on the politics around the movie, and even Rupert Murdoch has been flapping his social media gums, but enough talk, let's see some stuff from the movie. A new U.K. TV spot has dropped, with a medley of footage new and old, playing up the based-in-fact account of the tale. No matter how you slice it, this is one thriller that will get your pulse pounding, no matter which side of the argument you're on. "Zero Dark Thirty" goes wide on January 11th.
Meanwhile, Bruce Willis returns...again...for another round as John McClane in "A Good Day To Die Hard." Jai Courtney plays his son in the movie that something something something Russia explosions! This pair of TV spots lets you know that it will be loud and wisecrack filled, with some eye candy throw in just because. Take a date on Valentine's Day. Watch below.

Well over a year after Bin Ladenâs death and over 10 years since 9/11, American citizens are still blindly allowing their civil liberties to be taken away one piece of legislation at a time in the naming of fighting terrorism. Even our own citizens can be detained and tortured without trial. What difference did it make killing Bin Laden and Hussein if nothing has changed? You can read much more about living in this Orwellian society of fear and see my visual response to these measures on my artistâs blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/09/living-in-society-of-fear-ten-years.html

They really screwed up going with the Spartacus dude instead of Aaron Paul. Then again, maybe he was the one that passed. If so, smart move on his part, but this movie would be automatically 10 times better with Paul in it. I would happily pay $10.00 and sit through a movie probably even worse than Live Free or Die Hard just to hear Jesse Pinkman say: "Yippee Ki-yay. BITCH."

California Libraries lose ALL State Funding
Original post made by Rick on Feb 9, 2012
on Feb 9, 2012 at 7:32 am
"Now libraries in the Bay Area, as in the rest of the state, will lose funding for literacy programs, InterLibrary Loans, and miscellaneous expenses such as librarian training programs and books"
This is wrong! So prisoners get access to books and education, but libraries do not? There is something wrong with this.
But I have to admit that the Pleasanton library is not very good, and they seldom have anything we need. We have gotten very used to going to another city's library (yes, we pay a fee because we are not in-county, but it is worth it)
Perhaps what they need to do is consolidate the smaller libraries into one central one.
on Feb 9, 2012 at 11:09 am
Libraries and books? Who needs them? I get everything I need on tv and the internet.
on Feb 9, 2012 at 3:03 pm
With school libraries and the availability of information on the Internet, it would be appropriate to examine the current role of the public library.

Here's a look at how the Patriots' first-year players are faring through 12 games:
CB Devin McCourty (first round): In the third quarter, McCourty badly whiffed on a tackle of Braylon Edwards on the sideline, and the receiver got a 24-yard gain before being knocked out of bounds. The rookie made up for his gaffe at the end of the quarter, picking off a pass down the sideline to Edwards. Similarly to his pick when covering Detroit's Calvin Johnson the previous week, McCourty was stride-for-stride with Edwards and leaped in front of him to make the play. He has the rookie lead with six interceptions.
TE Rob Gronkowski (second round): Gronkowski had a quiet game, catching one pass for 12 yards on two targets. He deferred more snaps to Aaron Hernandez than he had previously because the Patriots threw the ball a lot. ESPN showed a stat that the Brady-Gronkowski combination has the league's best QB-WR passer rating.
OLB Jermaine Cunningham (second round): Playing often, Cunningham made a big impact during the Pats' stellar defensive performance. He had five tackles, including one for a loss. He also had a QB hit when he almost sacked Mark Sanchez. Cunningham's hit on Sanchez on a 3rd-and-short led to the Jets wasting a challenge early in the game.
ILB Brandon Spikes (second round): Whether it was being in the right place at the right time or knowing where Sanchez would throw the ball near the goal line, Spikes made a huge play by picking off his first career pass and keeping the Jets out of the endzone. He also recorded seven tackles.
TE Aaron Hernandez (fourth round): After a few weeks of barely being targeted, Hernandez got into the action on Monday night with a big 35-yard catch-and-run. He capped off the drive with a one-yard touchdown pass from Brady. His 39 receptions this season is a team record for most by a rookie tight end.
P Zoltan Mesko (fifth round): Mesko had a solid game considering the elements, sending three punts for 140 yards with a long of 52. He dropped one inside the 20 and had a net average of 38 yards. The Patriots' net punting average is ninth in the league after being dead last in 2009.
LB Dane Fletcher (undrafted free agent): The speedy 'backer saw some time in the team's sub package and will best remember this game as one where he muffed an opportunity to recover a LaDainian Tomlinson fumble. He finished with one special-teams tackle.
DL Kyle Love (UFA): Love saw some time on the defensive line in certain sets, giving Gerard Warren a spell. He did not record a tackle.
Notes: DE Brandon Deaderick (seventh round) and S Sergio Brown (undrafted) were both active, but neither recorded a tackle. ... WR Taylor Price (third round) was inactive.
