This was poured into a pint glass,it would have been nice to see in a pilsner.Poured a nice yellow color with fluffy head,smell was fruity and slightly bread-like.First thing I noticed on the palate was the hoppiness,probably the most hoppy tasting pilsner I have tried.Taste was rounded out with some malt backround in the end,a real drinkable beer that I was somewhat impressed with.

Appearance Light yellow in color with the traditional giant, pitting head that laced the heck out of the glass.
Smell Light grain and hop aroma highlight this Pils.
Taste The hops are right on track here, but theres a strange sweetness that doesnt belong. Theres also a grainy balance that would be more at home in an American Pils than one that claims to be German.
Mouthfeel The carbonation is cheap and disappointing, and the traditional dryness is lost with the accompanying sweetness.
Drinkability This lacks the smooth texture and hop dominance of a classic German Pils.

A: poured from draft a an earthy yellow with a
strong head. The carbonation is lively and
easily seen.
S: Malty with hints of grass/lemon
T: Strong malt flavors with hints of citrus.
The grainy/grassy flavors are the supporting
cast in this pils.
M: Heavy as pilsners go with a lot of body and
a little filmy after swallowing.
D: A drinkable pils but not as crisp and clean
as I prefer a pils to be. The malty flavor
wasn't strongly supported and the heaviness
is not a summer time draw, I'll try it again
in the fall.

I'm not a pilsner fan in general, but this is certainly not one to get excited about.
Boring pour with light coloration. Smells alright, but that's probably because there's almost nothing to smell.
Sure it's a 4.4 abv little wimp, but even then the taste is lacking. Watery is an understatement. It feels like drinking club soda. You can drink it quick, though.

This started out well, a very good-looking beer. Gold, thick white head, good lacing. Nice floral, outdoorsy aroma. The taste was pretty much all piney hops, way too much so. Not very crisp or refreshing. I've enjoyed other pilseners more. My wife, however, liked this beer a lot.

Pours a clear golden brown with only 1/2 a finger of very light colored head.
Smell is mild hops and malt with a nice slight yeast bready smell.
Taste is similar to smell, basic and clean.
Mouthfeel is very light with a slightly dry finish.
This is a great beer for a hot summer day. Nice example of the style.

This is a welcoming beer to my winter-weary taste buds. I love the Pilsner style of beer, and this one is "just right" in the hops and malt department for me. It pours beautifully, a light amber with a thick head and lingering laciness. Smells of summer to me. Taste is crisp, with just the right balance. Mouthfeel is light/medium, and leaves the palate dry and refreshed. I could enjoy this one on the deck this summer with a grilled burger and potato salad, or right now with a tasty Reuben sandwich and chips. Sooo much better than the mass-produced pilsners being offered in the U.S. these days. I'll be back for more!

Presentation: 12oz short brown twist, no freshness date.
Appearance: Slight hazy pale straw in colour with a creamy lace that does not want to dissipate.
Smell: A vivacious noble hop and light grain malt aroma perfume from this brew.
Taste: Malty none the less, noble hop (Hallertauer and Tettnang) in the bitterness and flavour. Runs clean, crisp and dry.
Notes: A choice American brewed pilsner with eight awards, as of 1998, for proof.

Pours a hazy yellow/light gold with an offwhite head that quickly drops into patchy lacing. Aroma of sweet caramel malts dance a waltz with the floral hops and Granny Smith apple background. In the mouth, there is abundant fizzy carbonation and some moderate hop bite. Plenty of caramel malt sweetness in the taste, backed up with solid Munich maltiness. Fruity and floral hops are around to lend a delicate balance. Excellent finish is clean and dry. I could have a couple more of these, anytime. I enjoyed this one with pickled okra. A perfect session brew here.

12 ounce, stubby brown bottle, put into stream of commerce w/o freshness dating. Pours the expected golden straw, clear, looks as a pilsner should. Nose is heavily rye and flowery, with spicy German hops. White slight head and leaves a decent amount of white lacing. This one seems to lack the hopped for crispness and snap of a fine example of the style. Its way too "mushy" in the center to garner higher marks. Middle of the road pilsner.

Appearance: 1/4 inch head, gold in color, clear, high carbonation
Smell: grass and honey
Taste: grass, honey, toasted malt, and some floral hops.
Mouthfeel: high carbonation, light bodied, very sweet with some light bitterness in the back
Overall: I am a person who prefers malts to hops and this is one of the maltier pilseners I have had in a while. With the low abv I could session this. I am glad I bought a six and will look for it again.

Thanks to mar for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours a clear yellow color with a white head. The aroma is basic pilsener with a lot of lighter malts and some perfume notes from the hops.
The flavor is pilsner malt and a mix of hops. I get grass, flower and perfume notes from the hop bill in this beer.
Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Iran's parliament could pick the country's leaders "in the distant future" rather than having Iranians elect a president by popular vote, the Islamic republic's supreme leader suggested Sunday.

Iran hanged two men at the end of January -- the first political prisoners known to be executed in Iran since the demonstrations protesting the re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, according to Amnesty International.
This week two of Iran's most well-known clerics, Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani and Grand Ayatollah Mousavi Ardebili, who served as head of Iran's judiciary system under Ayatollah Khomeini's administration, have visited with the country's supreme leader Ali Khamenei.
CNN's Ivan Watson analyzes the latest protest videos apparently coming out of Iran.
As the 31st anniversary of the Islamic Revolution approaches this week, with the promise of mass protests from Iran's growing opposition movement, it's tempting to compare the upheaval with unrest that ultimately toppled the shah of Iran.
In a recent interview, Mir Hossein Mousavi, the opposition candidate spearheading the Green Movement in Iran, said that early in the momentous revolution of 1979 the majority of Iranians were convinced that dictatorship had ended in Iran.

Reports of more demonstrations filtered out of Iran on Wednesday, including some that mentioned attacks on people mourning the death of a prominent cleric who was critical of the government.
The moral conscience of Iran's reform movement passed away Sunday morning. Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri, who died at 87, was the Iranian equivalent of South Africa's Desmond Tutu for politics.
Tens of thousands of people chanted anti-government slogans Monday before the funeral of a top Iranian cleric who turned into one of the regime's most vocal critics, a witness said.
Senior Iranian dissident cleric Grand Ayatollah Hussein Ali Montazeri died overnight, several state-run Iranian news agencies reported Sunday.
Iranian seminary students and teachers, angered by anti-government protests earlier in the week, held their own demonstration Saturday to show support for the founder of the Islamic Republic, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.
November 4 is the 30th anniversary of the Iran hostage crisis, a turning point in Iranian history, in the geopolitics of the region and in the troubled history of U.S.-Iran relations.
A witness describes beatings at a new protest under way in downtown Tehran.
Despite his threats of "consequences" and the subsequent beatings and shooting deaths by government agents, the open protests on Iran's streets by hundreds of thousands of people have dented the shield of invincibility of Iran's Supreme religious Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, say sources in Iran.
Iran said the gunman who killed Neda Agha-Soltan may have mistaken her for the sister of an Iranian "terrorist," the Islamic Republic News Agency reported Wednesday.
The effectiveness with which Iran's security forces have dealt with the worst outbreak of political violence since the 1979 Islamic revolution illustrates the scale of the challenge faced by the Green Revolution's supporters in changing the way the country is governed.
Critics of President Obama, mostly Republicans, have seethed that he has not been more forceful in ripping the theocratic leadership in Iran for their brutal handling of protesters angry with what they see as a stolen election.

Hours after supreme leader Ali Khamenei warned fellow Iranians against continued protests of last week's official election results, plans for further demonstrations appeared to move forward Friday as signs of tightened security emerged.

Mets, Glavine agree to one-year deal
Veteran decides to come back to New York instead of Atlanta
NEW YORK -- In the end, all the waiting proved worthwhile for the Mets. Ultimately, their patience paid off, because it was that patience -- their willingness to sit on their hands while Tom Glavine sat on the fence -- that played into the veteran's decision to re-sign with them and not return to the Braves.The Mets essentially left Glavine alone after the premature end of their season, affording him time to do the free-agent dance of indecision.
"I know they were waiting for an answer. I knew that I was holding them up," Glavine said on Friday. "But they were true to their word. They gave me as much time as I needed. They never pressured me, and I appreciate that."In a way, the Braves left him alone, too. Unable to clear payroll to fit Glavine's 2007 salary, they made no offer to the pitcher who had been such a prominent figure in their run of success from 1991-2002. And since Glavine wanted to be true to the word he gave the Mets -- that he would make his decision before the Winter Meetings -- he couldn't wait for the possibility of an offer from his "home team." Instead, he agreed to sign a one-year contract worth $10.5 million that could earn almost as much in 2008 should he choose to extend his career, and, by doing so, assured himself of another season of personal inconvenience, emotional hardship and the New York lifestyle he has come to embrace.
"After four years," Glavine said, "it's grown on me."The Mets, meanwhile, accomplished another phase of their starting-rotation restoration. First, Orlando Hernandez re-signed. Now, Glavine, the soon-to-be 41-year-old pitcher who tied for the team lead with 15 victories, is back as well. His return doesn't mean the Mets won't pursue another proven pitcher, but it reduces the chance they will pursue Barry Zito, who is generally regarded as the most appealing -- and most expensive -- pitcher among the free agents. General manager Omar Minaya had previously indicated the Mets would have more work to do this offseason if Glavine didn't return.
"I think it's more likely we'd go after a free agent if Tom doesn't come back," Minaya said on Thursday. "If he comes back, I think we can do what we need to do by trading."By the time Minaya spoke, Glavine and his wife, Chris, had made their decision to return to the Mets. That decision came on Wednesday. With no offer forthcoming from the Braves and his own self-imposed deadline approaching, Glavine had no option even if he wanted to return to Braves. So, to some degree, all the soul searching and sweating proved unneeded. But he didn't know his scenario would evolve as it did, so he did sweat it.
The relative quality of the two teams he considered was a factor. A well-heeled pitcher 10 career victories short of 300 thinks differently than a free agent pursuing a payday.
"I wasn't coming back [to the Braves] for free," Glavine said.The greatest consideration was his wife and children and the time with them lost by re-signing with the Mets or gained by returning to the Braves. In early November, he leaned toward the Braves.
"When I got into the routine, I liked it," he said on Friday, mentioning soccer and Little League and hockey.
When he filed for free agency on Nov. 9, he said, "I'm trying not to be overly influenced by how much I'm enjoying being home."
Those words were a strong indication of how conflicted he was. They sent an ominous message to the Mets, as if they were a precursor to "see you later."But the Mets didn't react to those words. With the exception of a few conversations, they kept their distance. "They're showing an incredible amount of class," his agent, Gregg Clifton, said on Wednesday, "because at the end of the day, they have allowed him to do everything he asked to, which was to go home, to get back into the normal family mode and give him an opportunity to really think this thing through. I think it's working to their advantage, to be honest with you." "When did it change? How did it change? I don't know," Glavine said of his about-face.
Part of it was his realization that even had he returned to the Braves, he still would have been away for 81 games. And the home-game schedule wouldn't allow for many nights at home. Moreover, the children enjoy their summer home in Connecticut.And, yes, the Mets' patience appealed to and impressed him. Glavine embraced the "value of feeling appreciated and respected." He didn't say that the Braves didn't convey the same sense, but he didn't say they did. "Nothing materialized" is what he did say. For whatever reason, they didn't compete. "I'm sure at some point in time they would have made an offer," he said.
But the Braves ran out of time. Glavine's deadline did them in. The Mets stood by their word and didn't push it, and Glavine stood by his word and gave the Mets an answer before the Winter Meetings.Moreover, it was the answer they wanted. "We very much wanted Tom back to win his 300," said COO Jeff Wilpon. "You don't want to lose a player who gives you so much beyond the winning. We were prepared to lose him, but it never got to the point where we thought we would. I'm glad it didn't." * * * Glavine's contract provides him a $6 million option for 2008 that vests if he pitches 160 innings next season. The 2008 salary increases by $1 million for each additional 10 innings beyond 160 -- he pitched 198 in 2006. But the maximum he can earn is $10 million.

I am disgusted with Pier One in general. I first signed up for a Pier One credit card two years ago. I never once received a card in the mail from them. After asking two different people from Grandville, MI location where my card was, they responded that I didn't even have an account with them. This to me is just ridiculous. After recently relocating to Kenosha, WI I went into the Pier One store at their location. I once again asked them about looking in the system to retrieve my information. The lady found me within one minute. Can you believe this? I could have been using my Pier One card for almost two years! I was really excited and had the company mail me a new card. Within this time I shopped at the store and bought $105 of items (papasan chair and cushion).
After receiving the bill in the mail, I went into the store with my debit/credit card ready to pay my payment. Unfortunately for me and customers, Pier One does not except debit/credit cards when making a purchase only money/check. So, a week goes by, and what do you know, I am one day late with my payment. So, I walk in the store with a check ready to pay my bill, and get fined a $30 fee for being one day late. This disgusts me. Guess what Pier One? You just lost a customer. I will continue to spread the word to everyone about your poor services. I would like to also add to this complaint that the $105 dollar purchase that was initially made was a papasan chair. After picking the chair up about one month ago, I received three different phone calls including today from the Kenosha, WI store about my chair is still at the store and ready to be picked up.
There seems to be a lot of miss communication within the employees. I could have easily picked up another chair without the store noticing. I am honest individual, and would not of course take advantage of anyone. Please take a note of this. All I want from Pier One, is for the company to mail me a gift card for $30 for the inconvenience and all this trouble for even doing your company a favor for signing up for a Pier One card. There was absolutely no advantages for me as a customer throughout this whole experience. There has been nothing but trouble. These are tough times and I know, yes, I made a one day mistake by trying to pay my bill, I just hate to see people suffer because you (Pier One) decided to become business partners with Chase.

I've had great experiences with Pier 1, so I would hate to deter anyone from shopping at their stores. Also, for the poster of this complaint, it's very common practice for stores to only take cash or check for credit card payments. It doesn't make sense to pay a credit card off with another credit card. Major retailers like Target and Macy's use this policy.
Dont make your bad day mine too on 2010-03-21:
There is no miscommunication. I have a pier 1 card and if you follow the rules, everything goes smoothly. If you don't have your card, they look up your account using your Social security number and zip code...if you give them the wrong zip, it won't find you. As for your bill, like the other post here, very common for retailer to accept cash/check only for payment. I would just like to say this to you and anyone else that reads this: I have shopped at pier 1 for a very long time and have seen their name dragged through the mud because of the chase card. The chase card is separate from pier 1. Pier 1 has no access to your Chase account, they are just the messenger. Like any and All Credit Card Companies, if you are late, you will pay. But don't let pier 1 go down for this. I shop, A LOT and have seen bad customer service. pier 1 has employees that love what they do because they work in an awesome environment. Because of that, I have seen and heard of them going to the ends of the earth for customers just to make them happy.
pier1insider on 2012-02-15:
associates must open new chase accounts or face unfavorable reviews. they must meet a quota for each shift. by the time I have shopped there a few times I am SICK of being badgered to open a charge card. in this econmy I don't need some hourly associate presuming to know what is best for my personal finances. Just sell stuff and let me decide what is best for me..... Poor associates being penalized because I don't want another credit card. I think I will shop somewhere that doesn't beat me up every time I shop there.

Terrible Online Experience
Posted by
First they canceled the order with even notifying me. Then the re-placed order delivery did not show up or call on the scheduled delivery day, 3 weeks later. They have been completely uncommunicative -- they do not inform me of changes in my order status (such as the cancellation), and even when I have called about a problem (such as the missed delivery) and they have promised to get back to me, they don't. Purchasing items in the store is fine, but ordering anything online for home delivery is a frustrating and time-consuming experience. Their competitors offer free shipping (theirs cost $149) and 2-day or 4-day delivery. I've been waiting a month.

Charged interest on Promotional Balance paid off before due date
Posted by
WILMINGTON, DELAWARE -- I purchased items through Pier One using their credit card by Chase. I had promotional balances that expired 3/1/2010, 4/1/2010 and 7/1/2010. I paid the balance before the promotional expiration of 3/1/2010 prior to that date; however, they applied my payment to the balance which expired 4/1/2010 resulting in an interest charge of $88.57 from the promotional balance that ended 3/1/2010. When I called Pier One customer service, they claimed that this was a result of the new credit card law changes effective 2/22/2010. Their explanation was that all payments had to be applied to the lowest interest rate. I explained that all my rates are the same. They then said that they had to apply the payment to the promotional balance that ended the latest. However, this didn't make sense since they applied my payment to the next promotional balance which ended 4/1/2010 rather than to the last balance that ended 7/1/2010. Both the customer service representative & the supervisor refused to refund my interest, so I closed my account. Not sure if there is anything that I can do about this. Thank you for your time & please let me know if you have any suggestions.

You should take it to someone else, because that's ridiculous. There's no law that payments are applied automatically to the promotion ending latest. Someone screwed up, and the person you spoke to was talking out of their butt (since, like you said, the statement they made didn't make any sense.)
Keep annoying them until they fix it and refund the interest you were incorrectly charged!

Sounds like an issue with Chase not Pier One. All banks started stiffing their customers after the new law went into effect.
Dont make your bad day mine too on 2010-03-21:
Have you called chase? I have a pier 1 card. Pier 1 has no access to your chase account.

Whenever a new service pack is released, it is typically like a grab bag of features that may or may not be applicable to your environment -- but you are happy to see them nonetheless. Service Pack 1 for Exchange 2013 (also known as Cumulative Update 4) follows this pattern.
Let's take a look at the major new features in Exchange 2013 SP1.
[ 5 free Windows Server tools you should know about. | Stay atop key Microsoft technologies in our Technology: Microsoft newsletter. ]
Windows Server 2012 R2 support: It's obviously nice to be able to install the latest version of Exchange on the latest version of Windows Server. Keep in mind: If you already have Exchange installed on Windows Server 2012, you cannot upgrade to Windows Server 2012 R2; you need to do a new install in that case.
Edge Transport 2013 has arrived: The Edge Transport role sits in the perimeter (or DMZ) and handles all Internet-facing mail flow, provides additional security through agents and transport rules, and in the process, reduces the attack surface. I'm not a huge fan of the Edge Transport role -- I prefer cloud-based or appliance-based alternative -- but I found it oddly absent in the original release of Exchange 2013. One note of caution regarding the Exchange 2013 SP1 Edge Transport role: You have to configure it through PowerShell in the Exchange Management Shell.
Exchange MVP Tony Redmond says, "Some will decry the lack of a GUI and the need to manage the server with PowerShell, but the tasks to set up an Edge server are relatively straightforward. And anyway, if you can't handle a few PowerShell commands, maybe you should not be setting up a server that acts as the secure inbound email access point for the organization." It's rare that I disagree with Redmond, but in this case I believe a system that will be primarily a set-and-forget type of server shouldn't be made more complicated by the lack of a simple GUI. If the tasks are "relatively straightforward," it should have been easy to give admins a GUI to keep it simple. Let admins focus on more pertinent matters. I suspect that due to the lack of a GUI, admins won't use Edge Transport and instead will go with alternative protection.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Minneapolis police officers are celebrating the graduation of teens who have completed their youth mentorship program.
The program was started by Minneapolis School Resources Officer Dennis Milner. The vision is to prepare teenage males, ages 15 through 18, to be responsible adults.

Authorities say 12 people needed treatment after a freon leak in the refrigerated section of a store in Glendale.
The leak forced the evacuation of the Costco near Arrowhead Towne Center around 12:30 p.m. Friday.
Authorities say three people were taken to a hospital for respiratory problems and the rest were treated at the scene.
Fire officials say the leak was caused by a serviceman working on a refrigerator unit. A compressor blew a gasket.
"We were in the store and all we really heard was a loud POP," said customer Raymond Crump. "It ended up being the freon line for the A/C that had exploded in the inside of the store."
The Costco was closed while the leak was contained. It was back open a few hours later and normal hours have resumed.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSTeen Gets Life Sentence In Skylar Neese Murder, Eligible For Parole After 15 Years
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Jan. 24, 2014 4:20 PM EST
Updated: Jan. 24, 2014 11:48 PM EST
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- A West Virginia teenager has received a life sentence in her friend's murder and will be eligible parole after 15 years.
Shelia Eddy was sentenced Friday was in the 2012 stabbing death of her one-time best friend, teenager Sklar Neese of Star City, whose photo accompanies this story. The court appearance came less than a week before her trial was scheduled to start in Monongalia County Circuit Court.
Eddy, 18, of Morgantown resident pleaded not guilty at her arraignment in September to one count each of first-degree murder and kidnapping, and two counts of conspiracy.
Neese was lured out of her house in July 2012, stabbed to death and hidden under some branches in woods just across the Pennsylvania border.
Prosecutors said Eddy and friend Rachel Shoaf plotted the murder, though the motive has never been revealed.
Shoaf pleaded guilty last May to second-degree murder and is awaiting sentencing.

The Goodman® ASPF Multi-Position Air Handler is suitable for use with refrigerants R-410A and R-22. This unit's blower design includes an EEM (energy-saving), fixed-speed motor that can enhance the efficiency of air conditioners and heat pumps.
The unit can operate with a heat pump or condenser of two different tonnages, as noted in the product description above. The unit comes equipped with an orifice (flowrater) for the larger listed tonnage. If you wish to pair the air hander with a condenser or heat pump of the smaller tonnage, an orifice in that tonnage will need to be used (unless a TXV is specified instead). If you are purchasing a new Goodman heat pump or condenser, the required orifice can be found on our site by clicking the Accessories tab on the product page for that item. However, if you are just purchasing this air handler and wish to pair it with equipment of the lower tonnage rating as listed on the description for this air handler, you will need to separately purchase the smaller orifice and install it in the air handler before operating. See this step-by-step guide to learn how to easily do so. Alternatively, instead of an orifice a thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) may be used or required for some equipment, such as 14 SEER and higher heat pumps and all equipment that uses R-410A refrigerant (see equipment spec sheets for details or call us for assistance).
For Tips for Selecting Matched Components and Line Sets click here.
Standard Features
Cabinet Features
Inside air conditioning systems are liquid/gas refrigerant. There are two types of this refrigerant available for use, R-22 (more commonly known as Freon), and a newer alternative R-410A.
An air conditioning system does not consume refrigerant, but reuses it. As long as there are no leaks in the refrigerant circuit, there is no need to ever add more refrigerant to an air conditioning system.
Although R-22 is an effective refrigerant, if it is released into the atmosphere it can contribute to the depletion of the Earth's ozone layer. The EPA has mandated the phasing out the use of R-22. It is being replaced by R-410A.
As of 2010, manufacturers are required to make all new air conditioners with R-410A. However, R-22 is still available for sale in existing pre-2010-manufactured equipment, and for use in servicing existing R-22 equipment. By 2020, R-22 will no longer be manufactured, but will still be recycled and available for sale.
There are three main type of blowers: Multi-Speed, High-Efficiency Multi-Speed, and Variable Speed.
Standard Multi-Speed blowers have different speed options and you select the speed that the blower will operate at depending on the function it is performing (ex. different speeds for fan, AC, and heating functions).
High-Efficiency Multi-Speed blowers are designed to maintain a constant torque and in doing so will maintain air-flow and use less electricity.
Variable Speed blowers will adjust their speed during operation. The result is a blower that will run at lower speeds for longer periods of time (this improves the air flow and increases electrical efficiency).

The soprano from Gelsenkirchen has graced the concert stage under such conductors as Myung-Whun Chung, Lorin Maazel, Giuseppe Sinopoli and Daniel Barenboim. In 2002 the opera magazine »Opernwelt« selected her as their »Singer of the Year«. In 2005 she appeared in the Semper Opera House, performing the title role in Strauss's opera »Die Liebe der Danae«. The soprano can also be seen as the Marschallin in a DVD production of »Rosenkavalier« conducted by music director Fabio Luisi. The opera was recorded during a Semper Opera company tour to Tokyo in the autumn of 2007.

Cub Cadet Rescue
Here's the story... I will be spending a month this summer at a summer camp on a farm in northern CA. There is a late 60's era cadet that has not been used for about at least a decade. I would like to try to get it running as a project to do with interested kids. I am going into it assuming that there is nothing major wrong with it, just neglect since they bought a kubota diesel and didn't need the cadet for any work. I will probably need to get an order of parts together prior to arriving since it is located about 45 min from civilization. I was wondering if anyone had any advice about what items to include in my repair order or what to focus on first, etc. Thanks
Re: Cub Cadet Rescue
Knowing nothing more than the information provided in the initial post - I would not purchase anything. First objective would be to do a technical inspection of the Cadet. Compression tests, spark, fuel system, which model, which engine, attachments and their condition, etc..???
There is usually a mechanical reason or two why the Cadet was taken out of service.
Setting for a decade. $50- parts tractor.
Just my opinion.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Cub Cadet Rescue
I kinda agree with Eugene. You need a bit more information on this Cadet before you buy any parts. It would make the process simpler and probably a little better chances of getting it rehabilitated. Can you get hold of anyone close to it that would be able to get the model number of the engine and maybe what model carb is on it? I think the kind of things needed would be a carb rebuild kit for the Kohler, spark plugs, points, condenser and other likely spring tuneup items, couple quarts of 30wt oil, grease, SAE90wt gear lube and fresh gas. Some carb cleaner would be good to be in the toolbox to clean out any built up varnish etc.. Oh, take a copy of the manuals with you on your laptop or hard copy.
Congrats on coming up with this idea I think that is a wonderful project to do with the kids at camp. Instead of make play items on the daily schedule a learning experience such as this might add an element of pleasure to the daily activities schedule. Imagine the look on their faces if they could be part of bringing this cadet back to life - Priceless I would think.
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Re: Cub Cadet Rescue
thanks for the thoughts. Model #'s and the like aren't an issue. I will get all of that from my friend who lives on the farm and runs the camp. I am confident we can at least make it a fun and interesting project. I have seen what my grandfather can do with a briggs and stratton motors from early last century that sat more than 10 years, so I think it is worth the challenge. I figure it will start with alot of cleaning and soaking and take it from there. There is a good chance that the last gas put in it was much lower ethanol, which should help.
Re: Cub Cadet Rescue
Points file. Feeler gauge. Spark plug. Squirt can of engine oil. Several cans of good spray solvent. Battery. Battery terminal cleaner. Jumper cables. 12 gauge wire for jumpers and to replace old/damaged wire. Pony tank for gasoline with hose to fit carburetor metal fuel line. I would also take a good carburetor. Starting fluid. Container of gas line/carburetor cleaner.
You will probably find that any fuel left in the tank is now gunk. Same with the carburetor. And hopefully there was never any water in the carburetor.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Cub Cadet Rescue
Also ask your friend about the conditions of the tires and tubes. May want to take repair items for the tubes/tires. if they have sat for awhile without air they do crack at the flat spot. Air them up slowly and watch the cracked area while airing, if you get the right amount of air in the tire you have a change of not blowing the side wall......To much air and you will blow the sidewall and need a tire/tube.
Also be careful with the sediment bowl. The screen may need to be cleaned......This is not a problem, but if you break the cork gasket you now have a problem, but it can be fixed by using a bicycle enter tube and cut a new one. When tightening the bowl screw don't over tighten it or you will stop the gas flow.
Good Luck and I think your project is a great ideal. More kids need to know about maintenance and fixing things!

With the recent premiere of Spike TV's newest reality show 10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty Fridays at 10pm ET/9pm CT, now is the perfect time to sit down with Dean Cain's stunning co-host, Natalia Reagan. Most recognized for her impressive comedic, writing and acting credits, the game changer for this original, multi-talented breakout tv star is that her "side job" is as a primatologist -- with an M.A. in Anthropology -- who is often sought after to share her insight and knowledge on some hot button topics in entertainment.
Recently, Natalia has been a guest on many national shows, FOX News and various other programs weighing in on different scientific subjects, from the evolution of female body to how pheromones play a role in human mating. Her witty, cerebral approach and on-camera prowess is perfect for her newest role on SPIKE which expects to gain a solid foothold in the timeslot.
In the new series, Todd Disotell, Professor of Anthropology at NYU, and Reagan bring years of lab and field research experience to the hunt for Bigfoot. Disotell established the terms for what would be considered definitive proof of Bigfoot so that Lloyd's of London would insure the $10 million stakes of the show.
The contestants are an assortment of Bigfoot hunters, or "Squatchers," along with survivalists, paranormal researchers, and ordinary hunters and trackers. Their different methods lead to conflict and sometimes even cooperation through various challenges designed for this particular kind of search.

TABLEHOPPING Even more places open for brunch and lunch, plus Passover and Easter options!
Just when you think the brunch at Slow Club (2501 Mariposa, SF. www.slowclub.com) couldn't possibly rock any more than it already does, the perennial hotspot makes the move to offer it all week long. Really? For reals! You can have a fried egg sandwich for lunch, and you don't have to wait until the weekend for bourbon French toast. Available Mon–Fri 11:30am–2:30pm, and of course Sat–Sun 10am–2:30pm.
A nice addition to the lunch scene: the lunch at A16 (2355 Chestnut, SF. www.a16sf.com) in the Marina. You can now come by Wed–Sun 11:30am–2:30pm and feast on delicious pizzas, pastas, and small plates. It's also worth checking out the $20 tasting menu, perfect for a leisurely lunch. Because leisurely lunches are the best.
Downtown workers no longer have to wait until the end of the day to check out recent fave-rave Trou Normand (140 New Montgomery, SF. www.trounormandsf.com), which has now added lunch service during the week, Mon–Fri 11am–2:30pm. You'll find sandwiches, an awesome charcuterie plate, and more (like, uh, cocktails!).
And just in case the prices at downtown's Hakkasan (One Kearny Place, SF. www.hakkasan.com/sanfrancisco) have always been a bit out of reach (or just too much, period), it's added a menu of affordable lunch dishes for $5.50 each. We're talking stir-fry roasted duck with chile in Szechuan sauce, pork and shrimp dumplings, and Teochew John Dory congee — eight dishes in all. And it's hard to beat the location, it's so beautiful.
Local restaurants and businesses are rolling out special Passover menus and more. (Passover goes through Tuesday, April 22.)
Guest chef Joyce Goldstein will be in the house (working alongside chef Staffan Terje) at Perbacco (230 California, SF. www.perbaccosf.com) for its annual Italian Passover dinner — the sixth — although this year the menu is featured for two days: Wednesday, April 16, and Thursday, April 17. There will be a four-course menu (with so many choices!) for $52 per person, with dishes like fegato di anatra alle uova sode (that would be chopped duck liver, Italian style) and stufato d'agnello (lamb stew with green garlic).
Delfina (3621 18th St., SF. www.delfinasf.com) is known for its matzoh balls with a walnut inside, which you'll find on the menu along with other Passover-inspired items, like an edible Seder plate, salt cod croquettes, brisket, and more (through April 21). Kosher wine (the good kind!) and beer from He'Brew will keep you in good spirits.
Lastly, you can order some Passover goodies (and Easter treats too!) at Marla Bakery Kitchen Communal (613 York, SF. www.marlabakery.com). TCHO chocolate–dipped housemade matzoh, yes please! Pre-order on its site.
Easter Sunday is coming April 20 — here are some hopping places to brunch.

I came across a few mahou shoujo shows before this year, but they were minor and easily forgettable. There were several shows that I watched in 2011 – most didn't air this year, but this is the year that I came across them. The year opened with the big hit Madoka Magica, with a fanbase that soared way past critical mass after the 3rd episode. GGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII (psst, that's the
wrong name) (what) (it's Mami) (oh) MAMIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (wait who's Mami?)

Thread: Winny released
Leslie Frazier: Vikings want Antoine Winfield back - NFL.com
The Vikings cut Winfield on Tuesday after the cornerback declined a pay cut.
Yes, they could have approached JA or Williams and worked on their caps to try and get the money to retain him at that price, but would it have been worth it? I don't think so, and nobody else did either. His contract in Seattle is $3 million with $1m guaranteed. I have to think that is similar to what we offered him, given the RFA tender that we gave Jefferson, and he chose to go to Seattle. I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that Seattle is poised for the playoffs this year, whereas we are still building. In fact, I think that was the PRIMARY reason, not any type of salary causality.Zeus wrote:
When are you going to realize that picking out the 20 bad throws this year and ignoring the 300 good ones does not make your point?
Actually they didn't. Informally asking a player... would you take a pay cut is not the league norm. There tends to be a presentation of figures. It has been stated that they never brought numbers to the table for Winny to turn down or not. Teams often ask players if they will take a pay cut.... they almost always decline.... Teams then come back with figures and say take it or be cut. That is the true negotiation. We didnt do that for winny. It's been said over and over... hence the disbelief in why he was cut.
To the Jared Allen comment, exactly what do you propose? You make it sound like it is as easy as calling JA up and telling him you are going to restructure the contract and he happily agrees. You said yourself that players almost always decline. It is one thing to sit on our coaches as say "We should restructure JA's contract", and it is another thing altogether to actually do it.
Plus, in order to restructure a players contract, you almost always have to redo their contract with a large front end signing bonus, which is amortized over the years of the contract (up to five years), and then increasing the salary each year. This especially true when you are talking about a high performing player who has a large amount due to them this year. We would end up paying for the restructure for years to come. Would that really have been worth it to keep Winfield at $7.2million? I don't think it would have been.Zeus wrote:

Oh, and I was not suggesting reworking anyone's contract to pay him $7+MM. I was suggesting doing that to pay him a much lower rate, which, they must have figured out a different way. Regardless, he's gone, I've moved on.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent
As a matter of fact, I do know
It says that Winfield will make 3 million next year and that only 1 million is guaranteed, and it also said that the Vikings offered a similar deal with all of it guaranteed. Think maybe Winfield was just pissed off at the team and that is why he decided to leave?
Nobody will know the true story behind his release. Was he asked to reduce his salary in February? Maybe days before the start of free agency? The only way anyone will know is if Winfield himself comes out and says it. The fact is, whatever the case may be, the Vikings dropped the ball big time on this one. They had since January to start talking with his reps, and they said they cut him right before the start of free agency so that he could catch on with another team out of fairness to him. Yet they begged him to come back as soon as other teams started showing interest in him.
I also believe they didn't have to release him when they did, as they could have signed the guys they did, been over the cap, and asked guys like K-Will and Allen to restructure. If K-Will wouldn't, he would be released, if Allen wouldn't, he would be getting his full contract, its as simple as that. I would rather have Winfield in our weak ass secondary than K-Will on the DL who we at least have guys to take over for him.
This team better get off their asses and get some good help at the CB position, otherwise I am going to laugh my ass off every single time the Vikings get scorched by the very good QB's that we play. Fuck, with this secondary, the QB doesn't even have to be that good to scorch this team. When is this team finally going to get it right?
So lets see, the Seahawks have now had Burleson, Jackson, Rice, Bevell, Farwell, Harvin, and Winfield since the 2010 season, with Burleson obviously gone before Rice got there. That is 7 members of the Vikings that are now/or were Seahawks in the past 4 or so years. What the fuck?
Now will that not tell everyone something if next year they win the fucking SB with Rice, Harvin, Farwell, and Winfield on the team, and Bevell calling the plays when we couldn't win it with all those guys in 2009 and having Favre as our QB, and AD as our RB? All I know is I am sick and fucking tired of every year this team failing. I seriously do not know how much longer I can continue to support a team that just doesn't get it.
With all due respect to Rice, Farwell and Winfield... if the Seahawks win the Super Bowl this year, it won't be because they are on the team. Harvin is the only player that they have gotten from the Vikings who will likely make an impact this year. Winfield may have had a great season last year, but he will be the nickle corner on the Seahawks, behind Sherman and Browner.
And it isn't uncommon to see a handful of players follow a pipeline to another team. There are only 32 teams in the league, so when a team is very active in free agency for three or four years, you are bound to have some common teams.
Finally, if you are so sick and tired of watching the Vikings... don't watch. Of course, when they start winning again, I am sure you will be back to your old bandwagon self. How ironic that you said this in another thread:

Hey, that is passion man. If you are ok with this team NEVER winning a SB, and always saying "There is always next year" then that is on you brother. I have been a diehard fan of this team for the better part of 25 years, my entire rec room is devoted to the Vikings and a shit load of COA autographed memorabilia.
I am just frustrated to no end with this team always failing. I don't watch sports just to have something to do on the weekends, I am passionate about my teams and put a lot of money into them. I have backed them when they sucked, backed them when they have played good, and constantly have to come up with shit to defend them with all my Packer buddies. How much more can I say about a team that has NEVER won the SB? I am not the type of guy to back down from an argument, but I have nothing when it comes to accomplishments from this team. It's getting extremely old if you haven't already figured that out.
So no, that is not the pot calling the kettle black, its a frustrated fan of a team that for whatever reason can't figure out how to win the big one. I never said I hated this team and that I was not going to watch them, so learn how to read before you call me out.

There was a huge turnout at a blood drive Saturday, all to support a high school senior from Chicopee.
Austin Harrington suffers from a potentially fatal blood disorder.
Kristel Chouinard, Harrington's mother, said in October that her son's immune system completely shut down.
Now Austin has to go through an injection treatment once a week for the rest of his life, in order to keep his immune system going.
The event was an effort to say thank you to all of the blood donors who have helped Harrington along the way.
"One person's donation is not what he needs," said Chouinard. "He needs one little part from 1,000 people. So everyday strangers, every pint of blood can save up to three whole lives."
More than 150 people were expected to donate blood Saturday.
Chouinard said she hopes to make the blood drive a semi-annual event.

Prognosis favorable for Colts coach with leukemia
Chuck Pagano is only the second head coach in recent NFL history to be diagnosed with cancer during the season, according to Indianapolis Colts Owner Jim Irsay.
Pagano was hospitalized Wednesday night and immediately began treatment after being diagnosed with "acute promyelocytic leukemia," a subtype of acute myeloid leukemia, "which is a cancer of the bone marrow tissue," according to his physician Dr. Larry Cripe, a leukemia expert from the Indiana University School of Medicine.
Here are a few things to know about leukemia and specifically acute promyelocytic leukemia or APL:
How common is APL?
Each year, more than 40,800 adults and 3,500 children are diagnosed with all kinds of blood and bone marrow cancer called leukemia, according to the National Cancer Institute. About 13,780 of these new cases will be adults diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
APL - the cancer Pagano has been diagnosed with - is a rare subtype of AML. Only 10% of AML cases, or about 1,300 people, are diagnosed with APL each year.
"Everyone who is diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia faces a dangerous situation," Cripe told reporters Monday.
What are the symptoms?
Irsay told reporters Monday that Pagano was suffering from fatigue and unexplained bruising, and at the urging of his wife, Tina, the coach took advantage of a week with no game to go to the doctor.
Those are two common symptoms for leukemia, says Dr. Harry Erba, director of hematologic malignancies at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Cancer Center.
Fatigue, shortness of breath with exertion, sometimes a headache and a pale appearance are common symptoms of anemia that comes when the bone marrow isn't producing healthy blood cells, he says.
Pagano's physician told reporters on Monday that "the coach's bruising was due to the fact that his bone marrow was no longer producing in a normal number the factors that are needed for clotting."
What's the prognosis?
Acute leukemia symptoms appear abruptly, says Erba. "Without treatment, a patient's life span is a few weeks to a couple months," he says.
Fifty years ago there was no treatment, but now there's a very effective treatment regimen, Erba tells CNN. He says this specific type of leukemia is "exquisitely sensitive to vitamin A," so for the past 20 years, APL patients have been treated with a combination of standard chemotherapy and a derivative of vitamin A called all-trans retinoic acid or ATRA. Using this drug combination, Erba says, the cure rate for APL was about 70% to 80%.
But the addition of another drug - arsenic trioxide - has led to "the highest cure rates we have ever seen," Erba says. By combining all three treatments, patients have an 80% to 90% cure rate.
The chemotherapy kills cancerous blood cells, says Erba. That's not what ATRA and arsenic trioxide do. They actually tell leukemic cells to turn into normal cells. And since normal cells eventually die (that's what they're supposed to do), the combination of chemo and these cancer-cell converting agents is designed to eliminate the cancer cells with the hope that only healthy blood cells will grow back. It's a complicated regimen that will take many months.
Cripe says he is confident that Pagano will beat the cancer: "the goal of this is to cure the disease. A definition of a cure is really that the remission has lasted for three to five years, so there's a period of time of where there will be some uncertainty."
For now Pagano faces several weeks of chemotherapy, says Cripe, then after some convalescence, "he will receive several more cycles or months worth of chemotherapy. During that period, he will not be in the hospital, most likely, and he will be able to engage in his normal life to a limited degree."
When and if Pagano can resume his duties as head coach during this season is not clear at this time.
Side effects?
Erba says ATRA, which comes in a pill, can cause headaches and a rash. Arsenic trioxide is given intravenously but is usually very well tolerated, and the main side effects of the chemotherapy (daunorubicin plus cytarabine) are hair loss, some nausea, mouth sores, diarrhea and the risk of infection and needing blood transfusion.
Even though APL is a potentially very deadly cancer, patients do have good treatment options, which is why this coach's prognosis so favorable. In the future, APL patients may be able to skip the chemo entirely and just be treated with ATRA and the arsenic, if current clinical trials pan out. Those study results may be coming in the next few months.

DEC reminds anglers to remove fishing shanties
RAY BROOK — Ice anglers must remove all ice fishing shanties on the ice by March 15, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation reminded shanty owners this week.
Shanties that fall partially through the ice become hard to remove and create hazards to snowmobiles and other motorized vehicles on the ice.
Shanties that remain after ice out (when the ice has melted away) become navigation hazards for boats.
Owners that fail to remove their shanty by March 15 can be ticketed and face a maximum possible fine of $100.
