The good: This digital camera has a cornucopia of features; it's zippy and built like a tank.
The bad: Relatively significant distortion at the widest angle of view; when zoomed out completely, lens intrudes into viewfinder; no optical zoom during movie capture.
The bottom line: The Canon PowerShot G9 is a solid enthusiast digital camera for those who want something compact to complement a dSLR.
User reviews
I really like my G9!
by Gordon Katz on September 12, 2007
Pros: Good photos, jog wheel, excellent interface, EZ manual shooting, big LCD, image stabilization, long zoom, preview histogram, face detection, alignment grid, RAW, hi-res video, ISO knob, hot shoe
Cons: Heavy for a point and shoot (but lighter than a SLR)
Summary: I really like my new G9! I got it yesterday and have pored over the manual, camera in hand, learning its ways. I've practiced with most of its features, ...
Summary: I really like my new G9! I got it yesterday and have pored over the manual, camera in hand, learning its ways. I've practiced with most of its features, but (full disclosure) I haven't done any real shooting yet.
For context, I'm a serious amateur. My prior cameras are an S80, an S30, and a Pentax fully manual film camera. I process my photos using Photoshop Elements on a Macintosh, and I favor RAW. I'd almost go for the Digital Rebel, but it's really too big and heavy for me.
For the record, accessories I got are a Lexar SDHC 4gig high speed memory card, Canon semi-hard case (it's a G7 case, but it fits), Speedlite 430EX flash, and Canon underwater housing WP-DC21.
Now then. The G9 is conveniently small and will allow me to continue my practice of carrying a camera around without making a big thing of it. It will be convenient to use as a scuba diving camera, too.
The G9's human factors are excellent. I didn't really anticipate how much I'd appreciate the the camera's use of buttons and the way they interplay with the excellent control software.
If there's one thing that puts the G9 over the top for me, it's the jog wheel. It's a genius invention. It makes adjusting settings and real-time exposure (to mention two) a pleasure. It looks to let me flex back to fully manual shooting and like it again.
The preview histogram is wonderful, and the extensive shot data are welcome. I expect the alignment grid will mean less preprocessing of my mostly crooked shots when I send them around via email for previewing.
I really like the large LCD. My old eyes can actually read it! It's big, sharp, bright and easily viewed from severe angles, such as when I hold the camera overhead. I've used a friend's G3 with a flip LCD, but I like this better. It does the work of a flip without the fuss or risk of breaking.
I'm looking forward to using my new Speedlight 430EX flash on the hot shoe and at last being able to take decent family pictures at the dining room table. I'm also looking forward to better in-camera flash pictures with the auto flash exposure feature.
Image stabilization is new for me, and welcome, as is face detection, and the 6x optical zoom coupled with "safety" digital zoom. I find I do a lot of cropping to the limit, so I'm sure that IS, better zoom, and my step from 8 to 12 megs of resolution will be helpful.
I'll be using AE with continuous shooting(!) at ground level at sports events. I'll also be making use of the high-res (1024x768@15fps), fill-the-card video capability, as well as the time lapse feature.
I've always had very mixed results with pictures taken skiing in the high mountains. I'm hoping that the snow mode, the availability of equivalent neutral density filters, and the preview histogram will help with this. (The camera is much more convenient to tuck under a parka than is a SLR, incidentally.)
I'm glad for the option to quickly jack up the ISO without fumbling with menus. I've occasionally had to pass on charming opportunities to shoot sleeping kids. Not only that, but there's a "safety" option for doing this, too. And the wider lens may help me shoot more pictures at lower ISO settings, without having jack them up.
I haven't mentioned the most important thing of all: photo quality. I don't have any personal experience yet, but I know from G7 reviews that the G9 will be just fine for me. I'm already confirming that, by comparison with my S80, I'm getting much more accurate photos with it.
I'm just warming up, but...time's up.

The VF is TERRIBLE
by fastfashn on November 16, 2007

Summary: This is a beautiful camera, solid, handsome, old school. The pix are pretty darn good.
However... There is a time and a place for an LCD, and a time for an optical VF. If you are going to put an optical VF on a camera, that piece of hardware should work. Instead, what we have on a $500 camera is a cloudy, dim, plastic bit of optics that makes a fifty year old box brownie finder look good.
Look, many people will never use anything but the LCD, but this is a camera aimed at the super-amateur photog who wants to carry something smaller than his SLR at times. We use optical finders. We like optical finders. We don't expect the optical finder on our $500 camera to be as useless as a clear plastic kid's telescope.
Canon has certain blind spots when it comes to real quality. Until they settle their issues in house they will never be the true successors to Zeiss and Leica.
Sorry Canon, better luck next reincarnation.

Great camera
by dcstephens on September 12, 2007
Pros: Resolution improved from G7 and RAW added
Cons: View finder not accurate

Summary: I've only had my G9 for a day and only had time to take a few test pictures comparing the resolution to my G7, which I've taken a couple of thousand pictures on.
At ISO-80 the G9 is substantially more detailed. I took a photo with the G7 and G9 of a piece of fine furniture from twelve feet. I could begin seeing better clarity in favor of the G9 at 100% (double)blow up. At 400% it became very dramatic. The extra megapixels are for real.
At ISO 400, the difference were still there, but not as dramatically different. There was no increased noise at this level, in fact it's reduced.
Handling and functionality were similar with the main edge going to the G9s larger and easier to see in bright light LCD.
I thought I'd get some early thoughts out for anyone trying to decide between the G7 and G9. IMHO, the G9 is the way to go.
The biggest negative to me is the viewfinder's inaccuracy. I've gotten to where I use the LCD in almost all situations to make certain that I don't end up with a picture that's composed out of balance.

Good camera with some mechanical problems
by pseudomonos on October 19, 2007
Pros: accurate face detection, large LCD, good photo quality
Cons: mild light leak of LCD screen (noticable when LCD and sourranding are totally black); mechnical noise when autofocus set continuous mode.
Summary: This camera does take excellent photos (much better than my 5MP A95)like other online review, so I won't bore you on that. However, I'd like to point ...
Summary: This camera does take excellent photos (much better than my 5MP A95)like other online review, so I won't bore you on that. However, I'd like to point out some problems:
1. when AF (auto focus) set to "continous" mode, there is dull "ka, ka, ka, ka" mechanical noise inside the camera, when you turn "continous" off, the noise goes away. I assume the noise comes from the constant lens focusing. But the noise sound so abnormal that I'm just afraid the lens track will break down some time soon. Can any G9 users confirm this finding is normal?
2. There are 2 yellow blotches on LCD when LCD screen is black and ambiance also black. My is very mild, but if you search google, some people have worse. I'm debating if I want to exchange it and try another one.
3. Image quality is good, noisy starting from 200ISO, so don't use auto indoor! use P or C1, C2 and manually set ISO to 80 or 100, and use exposure compensation +2/3 or flash compensation +2/3 in low light.

Was a tough choice, ultimately happy(Review and P5000 Comparison)
by mishuga on November 15, 2007
Pros: full manual features including manual focus, great menus, nice zoom range, great video/sound quality, nice red eye removal, hotshoe, 2 custom settings and a custom button
Cons: ISO 800 and above noisy, must mute all camera sounds to get rid of double beep before shot, relatively heavy, not ergonomic

Summary: 5 months ago, after much indecision, I chose a Nikon P5000 over the G7, not knowing that the G7 had manual focus. Took the P5000 on a trip. It's a wonderful camera in it's own right, and I have some truly beautiful pictures from it. Then I heard about the G9, and discovered that both it and the G7 had manual focus.
Two weeks ago I bought the G9 and am selling the P5000. I'd decided that the larger zoom range and manual focus in particular will allow me to have much more control over artistic shots. More importantly, I'm selling my D70s and the three lenses I have. The D70s is a great camera, but the size of the kit and the camera itself discouraged me from using it much. The G9 is not a full replacement for it, in particular has a noticably longer shot-to-shot time, but it's damn near close, and incredible for its size.
That said, the camera is not perfect, and trails behind the P5000 in a few areas. Rather than just listing complaints, I'll offer a comparison of the two, first listing where the G9 is superior to the P5000 and the list where the opposite is the case.
G9 pros over P5000:
- G9 has 6x zoom whereas the P5000 has 3.5x zoom.
- I find a generally faster shot-to-shot time on the G9.
- G9 has manual focus, P5000 does not.
- While both cameras give you manual exposure control, the G9 gives an exposure preview on the screen as you change the settings, in addition to a meter. The P5000 just gives you a meter, which is not as readable as the G9 meter.
- The G9's movies are of much better quality, particularly with respect to sound. That was one aspect of the P5000 with which I was flat out disappointed.
G9 cons compared to P5000:
- The ISO 800 setting on the G9 is too grainy for my liking, whereas the ISO 800 on he P5000 is still tolerable. This is something to consider if you plan on taking alot of pictures of moving objects in low light.
- The G9 is not comfortable to hold. I bought an aftermarket grip for it that improves the situation greatly, but the P5000 is, out of the box, a dream to hold. It has the perfect weight for taking slow shutterspeed shots in hand. Again, the G9 grip helps alot, and you can find info on getting the grip at mycanong9.com. This is a big deal. I would not be happy with this camera without the aftermarket grip, which I think ran me 28 bucks.
- I didn't use the viewfinder on the P5000 much, but the G9's is particularly useless, since the barrel is clearly in the frame when the lens is at its widest.
One more observation. I found the onboard post-shot red eye removal on the G9 very good, although other than that it does not have very useful post processing. The P5000 has a nice automatic contrast enhancement called D-lighting, as well as the ability to crop the picture. The G9 allows you to rotate and resize, but not crop. To me the G9 wins in this category because the red-eye removal is much better than anything such tool I've used before on a computer.
Overall, unless the higher price tag or more challenging low-light situations bug you alot, I'd highly recommend the G9. Again, I'm stepping down to it from a D70s DSLR, and am quite comfortable with this decision. But again, get the grip. Good luck in your research!

Great, solid camera, but not without flaws
by electrosmack1 on December 15, 2007
Pros: Built like a tank, manual control, lots of features, OIS

Summary: Every advanced amateur photographer is looking for a camera that does it all. They want manual control, great build, great looks, and a ton of features. It seems the Canon Powershot G9 is all the camera that they've been looking for.
What a user will first see when holding the G9 is that it is very strong and sturdy. It's sleek matte-black body is built like a tank, and seems as if it could survive anything. While I would not suggest doing a drop test, it will survive just about anything you've got to throw at it.
Shooting Modes:
The G9 featurs over 23 shooting modes, including auto, portrait, landscape, night Scene, sports, indoor, and of course, Manual mode. Now, I do not think it was wise for Canon to pack all these modes on the G9. It is designed for advanced photographers who know a thing or two about what they are doing. After all, the G9 is the most advanced in its class, not made for a first time digi cam buyer. But with all these features, a user can just choose to use them, or just develop their skill with Manual.
Another plus with the G9 is the Optical Image Stabilization, or OIS. This feature is becoming more common on Canon cameras, as well as on the Nikons. This OIS will allow for a good stop or two advantage when shooting in low light.
With everything that is good, there are downfalls. The Canon G9 is no different. Let me first address the button clutter.
Button Clutter:
The G9 has the most buttons I've ever seen on a digital point and shoot camera. I've seen less on some digital SLRs. This makes it both a struggle and an adventure for a first time user. Once you get the hang of it, however, shooting with the G9 becomes very rewarding.
Image Quality:
The most difficult point on the G9 to get over is it's poor image quality. The G9, like all digital point and shoot cameras, suffers from this. Actually, it's not so much the image quality, but the noise caused by raising the ISO. You see, the small sensors offered by digital point and shoot cameras is the main reason behind poor image quality due to digital noise. I, and many others, have noticed a trend with high mega pixels equaling more noise. So, with 12 mega pixels on such a small sensor makes for poor low light images. The G9 could have easily had a 8 or 10 mega pixel sensor, keeping ISO quality on their side. But no, they wanted to make it 12 mega pixels as a selling point.
In the end, advanced photographers who want a good solid build in a small package, and who want OIS, and of course, manual control will love this camera.
Hope this helps.

Here are my pictures with the G9
by rubixkid on December 13, 2007
Pros: Excellent picture quality, manual features, old school look & feel, intuitive buttons and layout
Cons: Doesn't have a full lens, pictures might not look as good as they really are when reviewing pictures on LCD screen

Summary: Here are my pictures with the G9:
I had always wanted a Leica (still do)...so I used my recent trip to Europe as an excuse to get one. After visiting several pro shops, my Leica-lust started wearing off as the G9 was constantly being recommended for the type of shooting I like to do. I'd been a paid photographer for a stint (10 years ago) and had always shot Canon...the thought of buying another one seemed...boring.
But after much debate, I ended up buying the G9. What put the G9 ahead of rest for me were the manual features and old school look & feel. Here's the thing, all cameras in this range (except for Sonys) are going to take great photos. It's the personality of the camera that's going to make you choose one over the other.
I was really happy with my choice. It has defintiely made me a fan of Canon again. For the pro/amatuer photographer, I'd tell you that this is a great camera to have if you don't want to lug around your new D3. For the pure amatuer, I'd tell you that the G9 allows you to focus on composition rather than cumbersome settings that other cameras require. And for the special occasion point and shooter, the G9 will make your friends say "those pictures look better than mine".

A Beautiful/Ugly Gem

Pros: Retro Manual controls, LCD size, overall / picture quality, size/weight - just a great package.
Cons: Miss the grip of the G6 - wouldn't mind the flip out screen returning, Noise at 400 and above

Summary: I was a big fan of the G6 - loved the feel, grip, LCD, etc but was in real need of higher resolution. I was almost reluctant to make the leap to this as I never considered the G7 because of the change in user design. But I have to say though that I am amazed by this little gem. I ALMOST don't miss the flip out LCD because this 3" fixed version is so bright and detailed at very usable angles. I would still wish for it as well as a bit better grip and a WIDER lense - even 28 would be great.
Overall though, I have had the camera for two weeks now and am smitten - great shots, usablility - even the bulk of it compared to most other pocket cameras is preferential to me. I take it everywhere, use it professionally and so far, I am very, very happy.

Summary: I am intermediate in photography and have not ventured into SLR yet, but wanted something more advanced than a point-and-shoot to learn with.
I have had my G9 about three months, and have used it a lot as it goes everywhere with me. I have tried it under a lot of circumstances and it works beautifully. The image stabilization works great since I can't hold a camera still.
I love being able to use a lot of manual features, while still having the camera do some of the work. I love the RAW capture mode, it has allowed me to perfect photos that would have been trash with other point and shoots or even my old Canon A630. I have Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Canon's raw conversion software is as good if not better.
I also purchased the optional tele-converter (TC-DC58C) and the wide-converter (WC-DC58B) and the IS worked great with both of them. The 12MP really captures amazing detail in macro mode, allowing you to get as close as 1cm. Color is rich and beautiful.
Since the G9 offers hot-shoe I purchased a Canon Speedlite EXII which takes perfect indoor photos and no red-eye even from pets!
The camera does go through a batter fast, about 50 RAW photos or so using the LCD, auto-focus, and IS continuously so I picked up a couple spare battery packs ($50 each at Amazon.com). Charging time is fast though, about 1.5 hours.
If I can take perfect (even portrait-like) photos with this camera, anyone can. Well worth it.

Summary: i bought this camera about one month ago and absolutly love it. i wanted a camera that i could bring anywhere and not have to worry about the lenses or large size of an SLR. i also wanted a camera that would give me the capability to customize shooting features. this camera does it all. i am able to adjust just about everything on this camera. with the built in scroll wheel i am able to adjust ISO, aperture, shutter speed, etc. This camera also has a quick fps when set right. this camera also has great features like the programed shooting modes, two custom shooting modes, and much more. the only con about this device is the viewfinder. when shooting with the optical viewfinder i found that my pictures where not the same images i saw in the viewfinder. the viewfinder is inaccurate and it can be a little annoying at times. other than that, this camera is a superb piece of equipment, and i recommend it to anyone who just wants to take great quality shots without the expense and bulk of an SLR.

Well traveled MMA veteran, Phil Baroni suffered a nasty injury on his last bout. He took on ONE FC contender Nobutatsu Suzuki and he was looking good earlier on, landing hard shots to his opponent. By the end of the first round though, a freak accident happened as the Japanese fighter was rushing in with excellent combinations of his own. Amidst the action, Baroni's right foot got stuck on the gap between the cage and the mat, and as he fell down at an awkward angle, it turned into a gruesome sight as his foot was turned in the wrong direction.
Check out the gif below courtesy of BE's Zombie Prophet:
That was on May 31, when Baroni was stretchered out of the cage. It was diagnosed as a dislocated ankle and a fractured fibula, which required surgery. Doctor's told him recovering from it would take one year at best, and that it was most likely career ending.
As he got back to the US, Baroni had surgery using 8 screws to stabilize the ankle and fractured fibula. He remained on crutches for about 3 and a half months:
After pushing hard during rehab, the NYBA has reached a milestone as he has now been cleared for training. This week marks the 5th month since that fateful night in Manila, and the veteran is already back in the gym and way ahead of schedule.
BloodyElbow.com has footage of his first day back doing light training below, and you can already see Baroni moving very well despite the earlier diagnosis of a probable career-ending injury.
Here's BE's resident Physical Therapist, Kevin Nicholson with some analysis and additional information on recovering from such an injury:
From the evidence in this video, Baroni is doing quite well in his recovery. He appears to be moving well, and is demonstrating some push-off with the injured right foot, and lateral movement too. Hopefully, he is still undergoing rehabilitation specific to the injury, particularly proprioception and balance retraining. If not, Baroni could run into problems with his foot work in the cage. It is important to blend the rehab-specific components of his recovery with his general training in preparation for a return to the cage. The fractured fibula is not really a problem, as it is not a weight-bearing bone.
Ultimately, if Phil has met his recovery milestones set by his doctor and rehab team, is having no adverse effects of ramping up his rehab and training regimen, and has the desire to come back, there is no reason he shouldn't be able to return early in 2014.

"I'll walk away when I'm ready to say goodbye, and I'm just not ready to say that yet. In fact, I hate goodbyes. I've always hated goodbyes. I'm going to fight again because I can," Baroni told Bloody Elbow, "People can say and think what they want - I just feel fighting again is something I have to do."
Despite people saying it couldn't be done, Phil is already making huge progress and says he's looking to make a return on early 2014, with a possible drop down to lightweight even.

An appealing name? No. A nice little, triangular Flatiron between the 3rd and 4th Flatirons, sporting one of the longer straight cracks in the area with over 200 feet of splitter crack. Too bad it is only 45 degree in angle. This 3 pitch rock sports at least 2 routes on the E face.

Following leaked video footage purporting to be a cancelled prototype for a reboot of the classic brawler Streets of Rage, UK-based Crackdown 2 developer Ruffian Games has cautiously confirmed they were indeed its creators, releasing a better quality clip with audio, but offering no further explanation of the project's fate.
Here are some scenes from a playable prototype. It was something we built very rapidly and represents pre-pre-pre-pre (lots of pres) pre-Alpha quality. Even so it has a certain charm :)What do we all think? Should this 3D reboot have been made, or do the Streets of Rage belong in only two dimensions?

Thanks for all the hard work guys looking awesome!!!
one question what commands are recognized within the speech engine?

you guys are fantastic, you can tell you are doing this right. solid install routine in xp/sp3 and vista sp2. now just hook me up with that teaser 3 skin and i be all set. Keep up the GREAT work! SNO
First, I'd like to say thank you for all your hard work! You guys and your program are awsome! Just sent a $50 donation to help keep this project going, and I challenge others to donate what they can.
Speaking of the long click... Here's a newbe tip: Want to assign a button to bring up your external nav skin, weather skin, networking, etc? Long click on one of the unassigned buttons, and that will bring up a menu of the options that can be assigned to it.
I may be jumping the gun on mentioning these things, since I don't know what features are supported yet, but here goes:
External Navigation works well (using IGuidance) but when it's running, OM shows the Windows taskbar on the bottom. Clicking on the OM Icon on the taskbar brings OM back to the fron though.
Attempting to play videos plays sound but not video.
Some voice commands work and some don't. "Show Navigation" brings up the sliding media skin instead of navigation. "Play Artist _________" throws me out of OM, so does "Show Home" Many others do nothing. I have trained the speach recognition in Windows7.
.ogg & .mp4 won't play and sometimes freezes audio player.
Doesn't seem to have any bluetooth pairing with my phone, although I know the phone and PC are connected.
Haven't tried DVD playback yet.
Thanks again guys!

I uninstalled and installed it again. Still it does not see my webcam (Creative Labs Live Ultra VF0490).
However, I figure out how do select drivers and folders further down the screen: you have to click and drag with the mouse and lift them up. Arrows won't work. But that''s okay. It's still indexing, lots of failures being reported though, I see about that later.
I have a two monitor setup and it takes a while to settle (Latest Nvidia Drivers), sometimes it shows two blank windows on monitor no. 2. This happens everytime focus is on monitor no.1. When the taskbar is active (press windows button), or click on where the screen on the monitor no.2 should be showing, it start showing both correctly. Click back on screen no.1 and only it displays correctly.
Hope this helps.

seem to be having the same issue with the linux install as nasa.. currently at their step of waiting for the installer to finish hanging. (it's actually asking in the terminal window for my sudo password again.. heh)
Few small bugs with the plugin installer (great to see it working!)
1. if I select a plugin meant for windows. it tells me so, that's good, then it crashes.. not so good. (or maybe the closing when completed is intended)
2. I clicked on the e-mail provider plugin to see if it was the one yelling at me for not being for my os. And it crashed.
2a. it looks like if I select one plugin to view the info on it, then click a second to view info it will crash.
2b. if I uncheck the one i was viewing info for before viewing info for the next the crash goes away.
2c. The skins however require viewing info for each selection, so they crash by default.
2d. if it crashes and you have selected multiple packages, it appears to install none
2e. it appears to only crash if the info doesn't load completely before selecting another plugin
3. the universal audio selector isn't so universal. Probably already planned but filtering out the windows plugins, yes pls
4. the plugin installer always opens in my second screen. very minor but I didn't even notice it after I installed OM, heh
5. it doesn't tell me which plugins i have installed already
6. skins for plugins don't "auto install" with plugins?
6a. when installing for instance the music player, I had to choose the player + the skin. If i chose just the player, it would start but not let me access it. just the skin, OM wouldn't start. both, OM will start, but the music player will not. (im guessing the media database has been disabled)
7. omdebug doesn't seem to want to install
7a. copying !OMDebug from the /opt/openMobile/Tools dir causes OM to crash outright, no debug is created in ~/.config/openMobile
8. seems like neither does omlinplayer
8a. I got omlinplayer to install once I carefully went through and looked for individual plugins without it crashing (not entirely sure what all i selected, but got the message that "media player crashed" regardless.)
9. apparently even though the installer forced /opt it still looks at the ~/OpenMobile for plugins and settings (not entirely a bad thing)
think that's about all i have for now. if I can provide anything else please lemme know!
ok, completely fresh install after manually cleaning up without making any changes in the plugin manager this time.
I copied !OMDebug.dll from the tools dir into the plugins folder and got an OMDebug.txt! woot! cept.. well, it says everything went fine.
but the music plugin isn't listed when i try to set a button to it "no omlinplayer, no media" and tapping the music button does nothing.
I'll do the bumbling, and i'll be the idiot.
if you've got a "stupid" question, search for some of mine!

Re: Hi to all
Silver Fern:
First, to the greatest forum on the internet, and to the Cub Family. You will find that all the folks on this forum are kind, helpful and just full of Cub info and knowledge. They also happen to be the finest folks I have ever met
It is refreshing and wonderful to see our friends from down under joining the ranks. Please do visit and post often, so that we can better get to know y'all. One of our members just spent a month in Australia and New Zealand.. visiting and of course keeping an eye peeled for Cubs, Super A's and other Letter Series tractors.. We hope you will post pics of where you live and of course your Cub..
Ok, so here is the spiel :
I would suggest that you read this thread: New Members and Visitors, Please READ Prior to Posting. There are many great links to informative pages such as the ATIS FAQ's 1 and ATIS FAQ's 2, The Best of H.L. Chauvin who has written very interesting articles on troubleshooting common problems with your Cub. One of the other projects we have been working on and it will be a continuing effort is the How To Work on Your Cub - Maintenance Tips and Techniques. This the the place to go to get all the quick links to some very good articles written by many members of the forum on solving some of the problems we encounter as we repair, maintain and up-grade our Cubs. Keep looking for this to grow.
Also, you might want to visit the Cub Manual Server as there is tons of info on servicing, maintaining and re-building your Cub. In addition to this basic information, there are also a number of other useful tools available on the server. There is the Specialty Services page which has contact info for neat stuff like getting your seats recovered, buying quality Decals, Serial Number tags and a host of other neat items. Also there are the Parts Pages - both Used Parts Suppliers and New Parts Suppliers pages with links to quality dealers. I am always looking for YOUR favourite dealers for New and Used Parts to include here. These pages are intended to complement our Official FarmallCub.com Website Sponsors:
I would also recommend that you visit Binder Books and purchase the three most important manuals you can own for Maintenance, Repair and Rebuilding your Cub. These are the Owner's Manual, the GSS-1411 Service Manual and the TC-37F Parts Manual. Although they are available on the Cub Manual Server, it is better is you also have your own paper copy. Binder Books is the only Authorized IH Publication Reprint House and they have the best quality manuals available. Most other's are not of the same quality. Just a personal thought here, the I&T Shop Manuals, although helpful in some areas, really are not sufficient for the job. If you wish though, they are good additional reference works.
IF you really want to get the skinny on all things Cub, might I suggest you get a copy of Ken Updike's Farmall Cub and Cub Cadet's . While you are at it Original Farmall Cub and Cub Cadet is Ken's latest addition to the series. Along with Guy Fay's Letter Series Originality Guide, these are three must have's in anyone's collection.
In addition to the above information, don't forget to check out the various articles that are available to help with your Repair, Restore, Rebuild or just your Maintenance Projects. There are a number of sub pages such as Electrolysis or Rust Zapper's, Maintenance Tips, Jigs and Techniques, Implement and Part Sketches and of course the Paint, Decals & Other Finish Questions which has the Paint Chart and the Paint Committee Decisions links.
Oh, and while the program still lasts.. you might want to check the Announcement: Navistar Free Gas Cap Offer - On-Line Form thread at the top of the Cub Forum and send away for the new style safety cap before that program runs out as well.
I truly hope that you enjoy your Cub and that you will be a frequent contributor to the forum. Again, to the Cub Family

Re: Hi to all
Hi, and a warm welcome!
Which island? I understand the south island has some interesting tractor treks using all antiques.
Can you tell us why, on the south end of the south island there are towns named Clinton and Gore? In the past I corresponded regularly with a landscaper from Nelson named Dot Parsons, and she didn't know.
George Willer
The most affectionate creature in the world is a wet dog. Ambrose Bierce
Originally known as Longford, Gore was renamed after Sir Thomas Gore Browne, an early Governor of New Zealand.
Clinton was named for Henry Pelham-Clinton, 5th Duke of Newcastle, former British Secretary of State for the Colonies.
Other points of interest George….
In Australia
Clinton, South Australia
In Canada
Clinton, Alberta
Clinton, British Columbia
Clinton, Ontario
Clinton Point, Nunavut
Clinton Township, Ontario
Clinton, Prince Edward Island
Clinton Creek, Yukon
And close to home:
Clinton Township, Ohio
Clinton Township, Franklin County, Ohio
Clinton Township, Fulton County, Ohio
Clinton Township, Knox County, Ohio
Clinton Township, Seneca County, Ohio
Clinton Township, Shelby County, Ohio
Clinton Township, Vinton County, Ohio
Clinton Township, Wayne County, Ohio
In all sincerity.... New Zealand is a place to see and live!!!!!
Of course it is, Jack. I haven't seen it first hand but I believe all the glowing reports I've heard. As a matter of fact there's a special file in my cabinet devoted to New Zealand.
I didn't really think the towns were named for a couple of our politicians.
George Willer
The most affectionate creature in the world is a wet dog. Ambrose Bierce
You are accurate by stating that George....but they name pool halls after them!!!

For two (way-too-short) weeks in October, I had a chance to visit the homeland of my ancestors. The Eighth Wonder of the World left me dark, a few pounds skinner, and wishing I had bug spray.
I developed an appreciation for hot running water, paved roads, and public social services.
My journey to find hidden beauty took me through the buildings, cemeterys, food, museums, rice terraces, streets, and people of the sublime country that is the Philippines.

Comments, questions and tips
I was a little unsure how this was going to go but have to say we all loved it, even my fussy 10 year old loved it. I did add some onions and mushrooms to help bulk it out as others had suggested. I also added some paprika in for flavouring. I served it with broccoli, green beans and rice. Yummy :) will definitely be making it again.
This dish took a little longer to cook than otherwise suggested but it was well worth the wait! Absolutely delicious and really got rid of those Sunday blues. I used cheddar cheese as I didn't have any mozzarella and it worked perfectly. I also added chopped onion and mushrooms to the sauce to add extra vegetables. Amazing, definitely a new favourite!
This is such a relaxed and simple dish to make. I rustled this up the other night with roast potatoes and broccoli and it went down well. My only comment would be that I think I used too much passata (500g for 3 people) so I will definitely use less next time. The Parmesan breadcrumbs were a nice touch. Lovely winter supper which requires little concentrating which is always a bonus after a long day!
Excellent recipe! Very easy to do and delicious. My 4 year old cleaned her plate (twice!). Doubled the recipe to freeze half of it (minus the mozzarella). I used chicken mini fillets 700g (for 4 adults or 3 adults 3 children) to avoid the hassle of beating the chicken breast, 400g can passata and 400g chopped tomatoes. This made just about enough sauce to eat with baby potatoes and broccoli (but it's quite thick and that wouldnt be enough for pasta as a side). I prepare the dish the day before: cooked the chicken (used the oven, 200 for 5-10min), set it on the top of the passata mixture. Once cool/cold, add the pieces of mozzarella and parmesan on the top and left it in the fridge. Rewarm for the evening dinner in 15min in oven 200 deg C (or until it's gold and bubbly).
This dish was delicious, the chicken was very tender, and it was quick to make, however, the downside is that you end up with significant portion of ingredients left over, namely beaten egg( I wonder if one egg would have been enough), breadcrumbs and parmesan mix (probably half of that would have been enough), and passata ( I would probably do all of it next time). I can do scrambled egg for lunch today, I'm not sure what I'll do with the passata, and sadly, the dog pinched the breadcrumb and parmesan mix!! :(
Quick, easy and delicious! I used two quite large chicken breasts and they really do go so much further when you have bashed them out: there was enough to feed 5 generously. There wasn't quite enough sauce however; I used all of a 500ml tub of passata (didn't want to waste any) and that still wasn't enough (probably because there was so much chicken) so next time I will use double (ie, 700ml). I also used the whole of the mozzarella ball so not so healthy but definitely delicious! Served with pasta.
Absolutely delicious, made this last night for hubby, myself and a friend. Chicken was perfectly cooked and the tomato sauce lovely and rich. Served with new potatoes, baby corn and tenderstem broccoli. It is a bit fiddly to prepare and takes longer than it states but definitely worth it. I prepared the chicken and put in the fridge and made the tomato sauce earlier in the day so that when it was dinner time all I had to do was grill the chicken, re-heat the sauce and put it all together. Will be making again.
Really delicious. I used the whole mozzarella and a chicken breast each. Fussy DD loved it and has asked for the sauce to be used with other dishes. Served with pasta for DD and salad for DH and I. Both of them hate Parmesan, so shhhhh. Not too sure why but it did take longer than I thought and it did generate a lot of washing up. Will definitely make it again. I think the idea of prepping in advance then finishing later is a good one, plenty of time to clear up in between!

U.N.D. student researchers are now working on developing equipment, that's out of this world.
Tiffany Swarmer, UND Student: "Hi, I'm Tiffany Swarmer. I'm here at UND in the NDX-2."
Tiffany just took part in a friendly competition with other researchers around the world, who are trying to develop the equipment that will take mankind to Mars and beyond. Part of that equipment is this spacesuit being developed at UND. It's more flexible and can support life for much longer than earlier suits.
It was just was just demonstrated to other researchers around the globe, via video conference.
Tiffany Swarmer, UND Student: "That's the hope. The hope is that one day, we'll all be able to collaborate and the best from what everybody can produce will create the next generation of space travelers."
UND researchers are also developing vehicles and living quarters that could be used on other planets.
Pablo de Leon , UND Space Studies: "We're trying to develop systems that will be useful, whenever the next human missions to planets are organized. We have one of the few laboratories in the world, where this kind of research is taking place."
Most space researchers now agree, that any future, long range missions will be a collaboration between countries, because of the expense.
