A few other standout features include a variable-speed throttle trigger, trigger interlock, battery retainer latch, EasySpool cutting head, bump guard, and hang loop. The tough polymer material used for the motor housing and debris shield help keep the weight down. The 36V 3.9 amp hours (Ah) battery charges in a little more than 2 hours. This string trimmer measures just over 66 inches long, weighs less than 10 pounds with the battery installed, and works for about 25 minutes per charge. It comes from a brand with a long history of industry-leading outdoor power equipment. It makes sense that the Stihl FSA 60 R would be a top performer in this test group. These reviews describe the key features of each cordless string trimmer and how the models performed in our backyard tests. Along with cutting power, we tested for battery runtime, maneuverability, and operator comfort and determined the best battery trimmer by category. In addition to trimming the grass zones, we used the 36V, 56V, and 80V models to cut through woody, viny growth in natural areas. To earn a spot in our lineup, the lightweight 20-volt (V) trimmers had to deliver a clean, crisp cut in both clean and weedy grass sections. We put each trimmer through its paces in a variety of real-world scenarios: “clean” lawn grass, weedy grass, and natural areas featuring coarse, weedy seedlings and vines. Although some of the trimmers offer lower power settings that could extend runtime, we found that the lower settings simply made them less capable when it came to coarse weeds, so we ran them at full power for testing. Most trimmers arrived with the batteries about 25 percent charged right out of the box, but a full charge allowed us to gauge runtime at full power. To truly test these battery-powered string trimmers, we started by assembling the tools and charging the batteries.

The following battery-powered string trimmers are at the top of their class. The string line should exit the reel easily with no need for the user to constantly remove the reel cover and untangle the line. To qualify as a top pick, a string trimmer should be durable, powerful, and easy to operate. So we could help consumers make the right choice, we tested some of the most popular string trimmers to find out how they perform under real-world conditions. Some battery trimmers are better suited to different-size yards, users, and budgets. Though gas and electric models once dominated, new and improved battery-powered versions don’t require mixing fuel or storing gasoline like gas string trimmers do, nor are they limited by the length of an extension cord, like corded electric string trimmers are. These yard-care tools spin a cutting head loaded with nylon string (instead of a fixed blade) to cleanly trim the grass at the edge of a lawn or mow down weedy areas. We put battery-powered trimmers through their paces on several grass or weed types to see how well they ran and cut, ultimately arriving at this list of the best battery trimmers.įor ensuring a polished look to a lawn, the best string trimmer is a great investment. ![]() Handy outdoor power tools make quick work of tackling overgrown weeds and grass, giving the yard a tidy look and trimming hedges and shrubs. ![]() ![]() Some unofficial phone apps appear to be using GameFAQs as a back-end, but they do not behave like a real web browser does.Using GameFAQs regularly with these browsers can cause temporary and even permanent IP blocks due to these additional requests.

It zoomed to the top of the pop charts in 1970, and its chorus - powered by Starr ‘s guttural delivery - remains a catch phrase even today. ![]() ![]() Whitfield recut “War” with Starr, and the resulting version was arguably the most incendiary song Motown ever released. Whitfield had co-written a strident anti-war protest song, “War,” for the Temps ‘ Psychedelic Shack LP, and in spite of growing demand for a single release, Motown didn’t want the group to take such an aggressive stance. When he returned to the studio, it was with producer Norman Whitfield, who’d been reinventing the Temptations as a psychedelic soul act. The follow-up, “I’m Still a Struggling Man,” wasn’t as successful, and Starr was something of a forgotten man for several months. Contract negotiations took some time, but Starr rebounded with his biggest hit yet in 1969’s “25 Miles,” which reached the Top Ten on both the pop and R&B charts. Motown head Berry Gordy subsequently bought out Ric Tic and took over its artist roster, with Starr the crown jewel. Starr capitalized on the song’s novelty appeal by appearing on-stage in a spy costume complete with toy gun, but proved he was no one-trick pony by returning to the Top Ten a year later with “Stop Her on Sight (S.O.S.).” ![]() “Agent Double-O-Soul” hit the R&B Top Ten later in 1965, and just missed the pop Top 20. Two years later, Starr wrote what he felt was a sure-fire hit in the spy-themed “Agent Double-O-Soul,” and left Doggett ‘s band to sign with Ric Tic Records and settle in Detroit. When he returned in 1962, he tried to get things going again, but to no avail instead, he wound up joining Bill Doggett ‘s group as a featured vocalist in 1963. They won numerous local talent competitions and even recorded a single for a small label, but Starr was drafted into the military in 1960, stalling the group’s momentum. He grew up in Cleveland and formed a doo wop quintet called the Future Tones while still in high school. Starr was born Charles Hatcher in Nashville, TN, on Janu(his cousin was deep soul singer and songwriter Roger Hatcher ). Even if nothing else ever matched the phenomenon of “War,” Starr had several Top Ten hits on the R&B charts over the late ’60s and early ’70’s, and also enjoyed a brief renaissance during the disco era. Starr first made his name as “Agent Double-O-Soul,” and when his contract was transferred to Motown, he instantly became one of the roughest, toughest vocalists on the crossover-friendly label, with his debt to James Brown and the Stax soul shouters. Rightly revered for the storming protest classic “War,” Edwin Starr didn’t really need another hit to achieve legendary status in soul circles, so electrifying was that single performance. ![]() ![]() ![]() Mandarinand Wood ducklings are great climbers and are small enough to fit through a 1 inch opening the first week or so. A ramp of either wood or hardware cloth works well. Once they have left the nest, remember that your water source needs to have a way for the little ones to get out of. A few weeks before the hatch, you may want to begin putting some food on a small flat plate, this way the adults will get use to seeing the plate, it is easier to access for the ducklings the first week or so. Some additional notes for those raising/breeding Mandarins. They also usually do not do well being displayed in poultry shows. Like many wild ducks, Mandarins are skittish and don't tame as easily as domestic ducks. They are good fliers (begin flying around 7 weeks) so either overhead netting should be used or they should be pinioned or the flight feathers kept clipped. In it I have some large branches for them to perch on. Except for one male, I keep mine full wing in an outdoor aviary I have built. They make good mothers, normally laying one clutch of 8 to 12 beige/buff colored eggs, with a hatching period of 28 days. For the waterfowl hobbyist the same raised nesting box that is used by the Wood duck is also used by the Mandarin. In the wild they can be found nesting in tree cavities close to water. Courtship begins in winter with the breeding season starting in April. They are fairly easy to obtain and do not require a federal permit. ![]() Mandarins are quiet, easy to keep and can tolerate the northern climates as long as shelter is provided for extreme cold or heat. Probably the most distinguishing part of the drakes are the orange sails that stand up behind the wings. The breast is a deep wine color with white below. The eyes are surrounded by white feathers running back down the neck followed by whisker like feathers off the neck in a chestnut color. The bill is a bright red and the top of the head has almost a florescent green and purple feathers running down the back of the head. The drake in breeding plumage is probably the best looking duck around. The female looks much like the Wood duck female. The Mandarin duck is prized for its symbolism of beauty, happiness and fidelity as a pairing will develop a strong bond. The Mandarin is a small perching duck closely related to the American Wood duck, they are native to both European and Far East regions. Mandarin Duckling s are a rare breed of wood duck. We sell the Mandarin duck pairas young adults, and if you order "1" you will be getting one pair of ducks. If you order a quantity of "2" you will receive two pairs. If you order a quantity of "1" you will receive one pair. ![]() Price is $249 for a pair of juvenile mandarin ducks. ![]() ![]() ![]() Abbott Many American institutions of higher education invest a significant amount of resources in the development, administration, and operation of intercollegiate athletic programs and have offered and maintained these programs since the 19th century growing larger and more visible with the passage of time. Ī Multi-Case Study of Intercollegiate Athletic Programs in NCAA Division II Schools: Their Relation to Institutional Strategic Goals and Policy Decisions Thomas M. Subject Area Mass communications,Higher education,Recreation Recommended Citation Karen Weaver, "The launch of the Big Ten Network: How 11 universities created their own television network and changed the college sports landscape" (January 1, 2009). The study concludes with recommendations for the senior leadership teams as to how to redirect some of the substantial dollars that the Network will generate to uses that resonate with the land grant mission of many of the campuses. This study provides a roadmap for college commissioners and presidents seeking to use the explosion of digital television and new media technology to promote and enhance their campus identity. The Network also presents the opportunity to showcase the student athletes, the faculty and with 660 hours per year devoted to campus wide programming, the wider range of life on a Big Ten campus. Throughout the process, it was evident that the Presidents had numerous opportunities to change direction and seek more money, yet decided that their values were more important. ![]() The Network decided not to permit any alcohol or gambling commercials, and decided that by 2010, 50% of all programming would be devoted to women's sports. No longer satisfied with having the broadcast networks "control the message" about their schools, the new channel addresses some of the social issues that impact today's campuses. The Network became a means to deliver the message about the values and brand of the Big Ten Conference. While many assume this project was just about money and sports, through a series of interviews with the key individuals involved, and a review of memorandums and meeting minutes, there is more to the story. Instead of receiving broadcast rights fees for the televising of selected football and basketball games, the Presidents in the Conference decided to start their own broadcast venture. An examination of the marketplace opportunities that existed as the idea was constructed gives the reader insight as to the complexities that college presidents and conference commissioners' face when negotiating with television and cable networks. This study traces a brief history of collegiate broadcasting, with particular focus on the pivotal role played by the Big Ten Conference. The creation of the Big Ten Network, a television and broadband endeavor devoted to the 11 Universities that comprise the Big Ten Conference, sent a ripple throughout higher education. ![]() |
