John Deere Tractor Vs Kubota Tractor – An Engineer Reveals Which One You Should Select

January 26th, 2012

The most common question I hear from people looking to buy their first tractor always concerns comparing John Deere tractors and Kubota tractors. I hear the same questions from people looking to buy large tractors, small tractors, new tractors and used tractors.

When it comes to buying a John Deere tractor or a Kubota tractor, there are several factors you need to consider.

A lot of the “facts” you will hear are based more on emotions than on any real facts. It’s a lot like trying to decide whether to buy a Ford or a Chevrolet — or trying to decide whether to buy a Mercedes or a BMW — everyone has their favorites.

With cars there are lots of data available about the reliability, frequency of repair, etc. But even with all of this available information, most people don’t rely on this information when deciding which car to buy.

They make their decision based almost entirely on emotion. Emotions plays a big part in selecting a tractor also, but hopefully not as much so.

John Deere or Kubota — Which Tractor is Best for You?

Bottom line when you’re considering buying a new tractor: If you’re looking

Dining Out – How to Save Money When Dining Out

January 23rd, 2012

Individuals, couples and families enjoy dining out from time to time to enjoy different food and also the different atmospheres that restaurants have to offer. People would probably dine out a lot more if it weren’t so expensive. It is much cheaper to prepare meals from home but it’s also great to get a break from time to time.

Dine out frequently at places that offer some kind of membership card or other perks. Some places will have membership cards that will allow you to earn points or free items once you accumulate enough you can trade the points in for food items.

If you have a credit card that offers rewards or cash back at certain restaurants be sure to use it every time you dine out. While it may not seem like much at first you’d be surprised how much money you can save by using a credit card that offers rewards.

Political Discourse and Participatory Democracy: From Feed Mills and Barbershops to Attack Ads

January 17th, 2012

Democracy used to take time-time that citizens are no longer willing to spend. Now, influencing public policy takes money-money that corporations are more than willing to spend to buy political influence. The little people used to have a big say and needed no money to say it. Now the Supreme Court has given big corporations the same rights as individual citizens. With unlimited money to make sure everyone hears the corporate perspective–over and over again–the “big say” has gone corporate.

In 2010, the Supreme Court overturned long-standing federal laws that had limited the financial influence of corporations in political discourse. The 5 to 4 opinion gave corporations the same “free speech” rights that citizens enjoy under the First Amendment. Ironically, the case was brought by a front group that called themselves “Citizens United”–the label now attached to the Supreme Court ruling. As a result, massive amounts of corporate money poured into the 2010 elections. Most of the contributions were used to support conservative candidates although not channeled through a political party. In that way, nasty attack ads could be run without the Party having to own up to them or have the sponsors identified.

Lawn Bowling – From the 13th Century to Modern Day America

January 13th, 2012

The game called bowls is the most popular form of bowling in Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and some other Commonwealth lands. In the United States and Canada, where it is also widely played, it is called lawn bowling, or bowling on the green, to avoid confusion with the tenpin game.

Bowls is usually played on a smooth, level grass court. The object is to roll balls, which are themselves called bowls, as close as possible to the jack, a white ball 2.5 inches in diameter. Bowls are made of a composition material or lignum vitae and weigh not more than 3.5 pounds each. They are about 5 inches in diameter. One side of a bowl bulges less than the other, giving it what is called bias. This causes the bowl to lean to one side and curve as it loses rolling speed. A player can roll his bowl so that it will approach the jack in a curve from either side.

In singles or doubles games each player uses four bowls; in triples, three bowls. When full teams of four play, each person rolls two bowls. To start, the first player rolls the jack from a rubber mat
