450 john deere dozer9/28/2023 I think it also depends on your budget, but it would seem wiser to spend a little more to get one in good condition and good working order, or you may have to deal with doing some hefty repair work, worn undercarriage issues like tracks coming off and the like. Helpful to know the true history on a machine when possible, so if you see a potential one get the serial #, have read that CAT dealers used to keep records, you might find the history on it. If the U/C is in decent shape, overall machine not been abused, sprockets tight on the hubs, no metal particles in the final drive housings, motor in good working order, steering clutches/brakes ok + maybe a few other things to check before buying, you will get some work out of them. ![]() I've read that the older D-6B ( early-midle 60's I think ) series was a real reliable well balanced machine attesting to Caterpillar quality years ago. Not too big in case your in semi-tight quarters, but enough power to tackle bigger jobs than you'd want to do with a 450 or D-3. Depending on the work your doing, you won't regret having an older D-6 in good working order, oldest I've ran was the D-6D series. Grey market I'm not sure about, but I'd be wary, rather just have an old CAT to keep things simple. from the past have varying reputations for reliability and can be prohibitedly expensive to repair due to parts being scarce, so I'd be careful and re-search 1st. I think both CAT & JD have good re-sale value, but CAT may have the better of the 2. Not too sure about JD, but have run a few, including the 450, seemed pretty reliable, not sure as far as working on JD's mechanically but by looking at them, don't seem too much different. Check out your local machinery dealers, trade magazines and papers, E-bay, Rock and Dirt, Machinery Trader, Equipment Trader, etc. Price? I live Downunder so I'm not much help in that department. The only other brand I think I'd suggest for your work would be Komatsu, somewhere around the same size as the D6, i.e. Service is still a bit of a question mark about them. I'm not a great fan of the grey market machines. They will do a pretty fair day's work for you too and may come a little cheaper. It might not outwork it in a day's work but which is more complicated to repair if you have to get the wrenches out of the box? If your budget will stretch to it and there are any close to you, My suggestion would be to look for a good Cat D6B, C or D or a Cat D5 of similar vintage. I'm no JD expert but I suspect that even an old 3-cylinder RD6 would out-push a JD 450. ![]() The Cat D6's have an enviable record for reliability through all their various models. How old? Your pocket book and supply and demand will determine that. ![]() I think, from what you are saying that the older D6 might be the way to go. Am I bised? yes I am I have to do all the repairs and down time cost's a lot more than just the cost of the repair. We now have a CAT d5c (what I recomend you get) and in the 4 years I have ran it (out side of the tracks that were wore out when we bought it) this year I replaced the powershift supply hose when a bolt that someone before we owned it had droped wore a hole in it. We then got a d3 and in the 10 years we ran it I put on a new starter, some track rollers, a track tightener seal, a battery, and some new hydrulic hoses, and some wear parts (cutting edges, bushings, ect.). well we have had both a JD450b and a CAT d3 and in the 4 or 5 years we had the 450 it cost about $13000+ in repairs the only thing that wasn't fixed on it was the steering clutches and tracks and you needed to tighten everything up before you used it. Re: Which Dozer : JD 450 or older Cat D6 ? in reply to Cliff, 01-02-2004 22:58:53Ĭlif you say you want a machine that won't cost a lot to maintain and repair.

Falcon colorado scenery9/28/2023 ![]() Trails on the western side of the base connect to an extensive network of Pike National Forest trails for exploring the Rampart Range area. Thanks to these recovery programs, the peregrine falcon was removed from the list of endangered species in 1999.Over 30 miles of mostly single-track trails wind through the Air Force Academy and Farish Recreation Area for hiking, running, mountain biking, and equestrian use. Fish and Wildlife Service, there were 324 known nesting pairs in 1975 and today there are between 2,000 and 3,000 pairs of peregrine falcons in North America. Programs similar to the one at Dinosaur have helped peregrine populations recover across the country: according to the U.S. In recent years, several peregrine falcon territories, including areas in Echo Park and along the Yampa River, have been occupied by peregrine falcon pairs.Īlthough the canyon country of Dinosaur NM continues to sustain the hiker, the river rafter, and the peregrine falcon, the falcons' success story extends well beyond Dinosaur NM. Within a short time, peregrines that had been fostered or hacked at Dinosaur began returning to the monument after their annual migrations, establishing eyries, and hatching their own chicks. Since 1976, the peregrine population at Dinosaur NM has steadily increased. A hack site was also established in Harding Hole, but never used. Eventually, the peregrine falcons become fully independent.Īt Dinosaur NM, hack sites were operated at Deerlodge Park in the early 1980s and Split Mountain in the later part of the decade. As the young peregrines learn to hunt, the human-provided food is reduced. When the birds are old enough and strong enough, the box is opened. Initially, young peregrines are placed in specially equipped boxes on a cliff ledge and, to minimize their exposure to humans, are fed through a chute. According to Matt Varner, wildlife biologist at New River Gorge National River, which has an active hacking program,"hacking is the process of placing young falcons in a structure and caring for the birds in a manner that minimizes human exposure until they are mature enough to fly." Throughout the 1980s, captive-bred peregrine falcons were also released at Dinosaur NM in a process called hacking. Hack box at New River Gorge National River. Although fostering did not eliminate normal chick mortality, it did help to maintain normal brood sizes during the period of eggshell thinning. ![]() But it was a very, very, very successful program."Įggs collected at Dinosaur NM were taken to breeding facilities where researchers incubated them and cared for the young after they hatched. They could go from pregnancy to teenagers in one fell swoop it was a shock to their system. According to Steve Petersburg, a resource management specialist at Dinosaur NM in the early 1990s, "The parents were totally fooled. To protect thin-shelled eggs -a result of DDT -biologists collected eggs from nest sites and replaced them with peregrine chicks from a breeding facility. In 1974, the state of Colorado began a peregrine falcon recovery program two years later, Dinosaur National Monument joined the effort.Īs part of the recovery program, adult peregrine falcons at Dinosaur NM became foster parents to young birds. Peregrine falcons- identified as an endangered species in 1970-were on the decline across the United States, thanks to the effects of the pesticide DDT. In the late 1970s, Dinosaur NM was home to four peregrine falcons…half of the peregrine population in Colorado.

Rita crundwell story9/28/2023 ![]() "I didn’t know how they would feel about the way I felt like I might be calling them out or the way I portrayed Dixon. "Everyone played a role in this, and the citizens played a role, too," Pope said. ![]() The Chicago-based filmmaker says she was nervous watching the hometown crowd react as they saw her documentary for the first time because, “It’s not about ‘Rita’s a bad person, remove Rita, she’s in jail, and now everything is okay.’" Pope says Kathe Swanson is the film’s hero – she even got to present Swanson the ethical courage award from the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy during one screening at the Historic Dixon Theatre. Former Dixon City Clerk Kathe Swanson, right, discovered a secret checking account and blew the whistle. The crowd at All the Queen’s Horses public premiere in Dixon appreciated how Pope put the amount of restitution Crundwell owes into perspective: She said Crundwell owed more than $100 million and, based on her $65 monthly prison salary, it would take her more than 120,000 years to pay it back.Ĭredit Stills from "All The Queen's Horses" Former Dixon Comptroller Rita Crundwell, left, embezzles more than $53 million over two decades. In the end, Crundwell was arrested, pleaded guilty to embezzling $53.7 million, was sentenced to nearly 20 years in prison, and had all of her possessions auctioned off. The two had to continue to work with Crundwell as if nothing was wrong for another six months while the FBI built its case. Swanson went to Dixon Mayor Jim Burke with her discovery, and he contacted the FBI. Crundwell funneled tens of millions of Dixon’s dollars into that account over two decades, using it to establish herself as one of the world’s greatest – and most glamorous – quarterhorse breeders. Swanson was filling in for Crundwell in 2011 when she discovered a secret bank account. That conflict was between Dixon City Clerk Kathe Swanson and City Comptroller Rita Crundwell. She’s fascinated with why people become whistleblowers - especially how a person behaves in “a situation with conflict.” The director of “All the Queen’s Horses” is an accounting professor at DePaul and a behavioral accounting researcher. Pope didn’t take the usual path to becoming a filmmaker. ![]() But filmmaker Kelly Richmond Pope had another reason for being drawn to the story of Rita Crundwell, Dixon’s former comptroller who stole nearly $54 million from her hometown. The subject seemed irresistible for a filmmaker: a bottomless well of money, corruption at city hall, gold-plated extravagance - and horses.

5726 highland hills9/28/2023 ![]() “It’s going to be a marathon." – Tramonica Brown, Not My Son Dallas tweet this After the explosion, displaced residents hung around the property waiting to see what the next move was. “No one is even answering the phone over there, and I think it’s ridiculous.” She said her mother has been trying to get in touch with some of the property managers to see if she can get her heart medication from the wreckage. ![]() They also said property managers were helping find accommodations for displaced residents.īut Duncan said no such accommodations have been made for her family. “Since this has happened, no one from the office has reached out with so much as a ‘Sorry for your loss. In a written statement to The Dallas Morning News, the owner said they were “in the process of gathering information and awaiting the fire department’s report on the cause” of the explosion. The Philadelphia-based Mountain Creek Apts LP owns the complex. Our thoughts and prayers are with the firefighters and residents who were injured.” “Atmos Energy has verified that our system is operating as expected, and we have found no indication that our system was involved.Ītmos added, “The safety of our community is our highest priority, and our crews remain on site to work to assist emergency responders. “After verifying that gas was shut off to the meter that supplies the apartment complex, our highly trained technicians began performing safety checks of Atmos Energy’s system,” the company said in a statement. In a written statement released the day of the explosion, Atmos said it didn’t find any problems with gas lines in the area. When we called back and asked about previous reports of natural gas odors at the complex, they said they had no comment and hung up again. “What is coming? What do we do?” – Jennifer Duncan, Dallas resident tweet this When the Observer first reached out to the apartment complex’s management office, they said, “We have no comment,” and then hung up the phone. Even when she would make routine maintenance requests, she would mention the natural gas odor, but the smell persisted. ![]() Her mother had reported a gas smell to the apartment complex in August, Duncan said, but there didn’t seem to be any response to the problem. “Once I got there and heard it was a gas leak, I became not sad … I became furious because the residents have been saying we smell gas for the longest ,” Duncan said. Evans said local, state and federal officials are investigating to determine the cause of the explosion. As of Friday, three firefighters were still in the hospital in critical but stable conditions. All of the residents have since been released from the hospital. Three residents were also taken to the hospital with injuries. All four of them were injured and have been taken to the hospital.” Jason Evans, a DFR spokesperson, said at a press conference near the complex, “Unfortunately, there were four firefighters within proximity of the explosion when it occurred. The rest of the building would later be demolished because it was too unstable. Neighboring apartments that received damage were also evacuated. The blast left part of the two story apartment building collapsed. It was just chaos.”ĭuncan’s mother made it out, but now her whole family, like the rest of the residents at the complex, is without a home. About 300 residents from 200 households were affected. “Now saying she can’t breathe and she’s choking. It just exploded.’” Before Duncan could even respond, “Boom! I hear another explosion in the background,” she said. “She gives me this call, frantic, hollering and screaming saying, ‘The apartment just exploded next to us. But her disabled mother was still at the apartment waiting for her caretaker to arrive. Jennifer Duncan, who lives in the complex, was out working that morning. In the middle of their investigation, the place lit up. The next morning, before the explosion, Dallas Fire-Rescue came to check for a potential gas leak. In Oak Cliff's Highland Hills Apartments, residents had smelled gas the night before a blast rocked the apartment complex and displaced hundreds.

Prodeus gameplay9/28/2023 If you're thinking of trying out your first FPS title, we've got a list of handy starting places comprised of classics, modern hits, and friendly mechanics. But despite that reputation, FPS games don't have to be something you're afraid of. The genre is known for competitive multiplayer scenes and required rapid-fire reflexes. Updated Augby Amanda Hurych: The barrier to entry for first-person shooter games can feel incredibly high. If you're looking to dip your toes into the FPS genre, these are the best places to start. Just like with anything else, the best way to get accustomed is through practice, but the most important part in diving into this genre is playing solid games. RELATED: Old FPS Games That Are Better Than You Remember, Ranked According to Metacriticīut when it comes down to it, it's really not all that difficult to get accustomed to. It requires an entirely different sort of responsiveness and situational awareness. Indeed, for someone that grew up on JRPGs or real-time strategy games, it can seem quite intimidating and unapproachable at first blush. Not only that, once you’re done with the game’s initial batch of levels, you can pretty much play it until the end of time, all thanks to a fantastic feature included on the side: community-created levels.First-person shooters might be one of the most popular video game genres to have ever existed, but it's not every person's initial cup of tea. ![]() There’s enough variety in each level, as well as a shocking amount of them. ![]() Prodeus‘ developers were clearly inspired by 2016’s DOOM‘s level design philosophy, with a crap ton of secrets to unveil while also adding the slight amount of collectibles, which can be traded for even more exclusives weapons in your arsenal, and a handful of simple platforming gauntlets. You can also gather it from downed enemies who were wielding similar weaponry. Ammo can be found easily throughout levels. Thankfully, weapons do reload quickly enough (yes, even shotguns), so you’ll never feel completely at a disadvantage. Just bear in mind that, despite the DOOM-ish influences, as previously mentioned, most weapons do have magazines, so you have to reload every now and then. Hell, even your bare fists can rip a demon in two with ease. I can’t think of a single weapon I didn’t enjoy using. Just like modern DOOM games, they all feature secondary functions, such as explosive shots for the shotgun and a triple bullet burst for the starter pistol. It’s fast-paced, it’s responsive, every single weapon packs one hell of a punch. I didn’t even mind some of its questionable button mapping decisions (reloading with the triangle button felt really odd). Despite featuring an excessive amount of aim assist, considering the fact this is more suited for precise shooters and not an ultraviolent gorefest, I loved its gameplay. When it comes to the gameplay, Prodeus is a lot more reminiscent of DOOM 2016 and DOOM Eternal than any other classic-inspired shooter, and I couldn’t be happier about it. ![]() It’s both old and new, resulting in something fresh, something that truly stands out among the crowded retro shooter landscape. While I did not like its flicker and CRT effects, I did like its retro-infused visuals, which clashed beautifully with some gorgeous modern post-processing effects, such as particles and some really realistic lighting. It even features a handful of retro filter effects to give the illusion of a lower resolution, and lets you decide whether you want to fight against polygonal or sprite-based enemies. As far as presentation, it tries to emulate the look and feel of the first batch of polygonal shooters released in the mid-to-late 90s, such as Duke Nukem 3D and Quake. ![]() Prodeus feels like the best of both worlds. |
