Burns Attorney-Eugene M. Eckelman ABSTRACT: An open-center insert is installed in the fuel intake system of an internal combustion engine between the fuel mixing device and the intake manifold and has a hollow tube member extending diametrically across its open center. This tube member supports a baffle which serves to create a vacuum directly therebeneath in turn creating a vortex agitating action of the fuel mixture for better combustion. One end of the tube is connected into the crankcase breather tube of the engine by a conduit and has an aperture on its bottom side whereby suction created at the bottom of the baffle by the vortex causes unburned gases and fumes from the crankcase to be drawn back into the intake manifold for reburning.

VENTQ ATTORNEY venient installation in existing fuel intakejsystems.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relatesto a new and novel device for decreasingthe formation of waste products from internal combustion engines.
his well known that and other vehicles having internal combustion engines discharge agreat quantity of waste products and contribute greatly to the serious smog problem which now exists. Much of the waste products from the internal combustion engines are a result of inefficient burning of fuel as well as from worn engines wherein oil escapes past the pistons and when burned causes smoke to be discharged from the en-.
gine. Much of the smoke ,and of course other waste products of combustion such as unburned gases ,and fumes are discharged'from the exhaust pipe but others exist in the crankcase of the engine and escape through the breather outlet of the engine.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A moreparticular object of the present invention is to provide means adapted to be mounted in the intake portion of the fuel system employing in one embodiment a hollow coneshaped baffle which not only serves to agitate the fuel mixture in the intake for more efficient combustion but also serves to draw in unburned gases and fumes from'the engine crankcase for reburning. Another embodiment employs a disclike baffle to accomplish the same purpose.
Still-another object is to provide a device of the type described which is embodied in'an insert capable of The invention will be'bett'erunderstoodandadditional be jects and advantages will become apparent from the following description which illustrates preferredforms of the device.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring in particular to the drawings and first to FIGS. 1
and 2 which show one embodiment, the numerals 1 and 3 designate parts of an existing fuel intake system for an internal combustion engine. More particularly, the numeral 1 designates the outlet from a carburetor and the numeral 3 designates the inlet to an intake manifold. Fuel mixture from the carburetor passes downwardly into the manifold for distribution to the engine.
According to the invention an insert 2 having a hollow center has a construction facilitating its installation between ,the carburetor portion 1 and the intake manifold 3, and for this purpose it is shaped in plan as illustrated in FIG. 1, having lateral projections 2A which correspond in shape to similar lateral projections provided 'on the carburetor and intake manifold at their connection. The lateral'projections 2A have FIG. 4 is a vertical sectional view of the-embodiment of FIG.
bolt holes 13 therein for receiving clamping bolts which are used to secure the carburetor and intake manifold together. Gaskets 6 are provided on each side of the insert for sealing. According to the structure of the insert, it may be readily installed between the carburetor and intake manifold after first removing the securing bolts.
Diametrically disposed in the insert 2 isa tubular member 4 having a sealing connectionat one end in a plug 9 threadedly mounted in the insert 2. The other end of tubular member 4 is received in a hollow fitting 8 having threads at each end for 'securement to the insert and for threadedly receiving a connector 7 for attaching a conduit 10 into the fitting 8 and thus into the tube 4. The opposite end of conduit 10 is connected into the vehicle crankcase breather tube 11 by a suitable fitting 12.
Mounted on the tube 4 is a hollow, cone-shaped baffle 5 having its apex directed upwardly. For the purpose of mounting the baffle 5 on the tube 4, said baffle maybe suitably apertured to receive the tube and the parts are. connected integrally by. a press fit or by any other means such as by welding. The bottom of the baffle 5 is open. An aperture I4 is provided in a lower wall portion of the tube within the hollow baffle 5.
A fuel mixture from the carburetor l is drawn downwardly into the intake manifold for movement to the engine for combustion. According to the present invention, such fuel mixture as it travels downwardly impinges against the baffle 5 and is directed into a vortex pattern around and below the baffle to efficiently mix the air and fuel and thus increase the efficiency of combustion. Such vortex action creates a vacuum directly under the baffle 5 and the vacuum thus created also exists in tube 4 through aperture 14 to draw in unburned gases and fumes from the crankcase breather tube 11 through the connecting conduit 10. Such unburned gases and fumes thus are gain passed through the engine and unburned portions thereof will be consumed. Thus, not only are the waste products of combustion decreased by the greater efficiency of combustion as a result of the improved mixture of fuel and air but also by the reburning-of unburned gases and fumes withdrawn fromappreciably, even on engines which are worn considerably.
FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate a modified form of the invention wherein thebaffle SA on the tube member 4 comprises a disclike member instead of a cone-shaped device. Disc 5A is secured to the lower side of the tube and an aperture 14A passes through both the tube and the baffle. The baffle may be secured to the tube in any suitable manner such as by welding. The air fuel mixture which passes downwardly through the carburetor and intake mainfold is directed into a vortex pattern as in the embodiment of FIG. 1, which increases combustion efficiency and which also creates a suction immediately below the disc 5A to draw unburned gases and fumes from the crankcase for reburning. g
The embodiments of the present invention are thus directed not only to producing better fuel consumption and efficiency of combustion but also to reducing the formation of waste products in such engines. It is to be understood that the' forms of my inventionherein shown and described are to be taken as preferred examples of the same and that various other changes in the shape, size or arrangement of parts may be resorted to.
I claim:
l. A device for reducing the discharge of waste products of combustion from an internal combustion engine having an oil crankcase and fuel intake passageway through which a fuel mixture is drawn from a fuel mixing device to the engine, comprising:
a. a stationary tubular member arranged to be mounted in said fuel intake passageway in laterally extending relation to the passageway;
b. conduit means connected to said tubular member and arranged to be connected to said oil crankcase for directing unburned gases a and fumes from the oil crankcase to said tubular member;
c. a baffle member secured on said tubular member with a surface thereof extending laterally across the fuel intake passageway to cause a vortex type agitation of the fuel mixture as the latter travels thereby for increasing the combustion efficiency of the fuel mixture;
d. said vortex type agitation creating a vacuum directly beneath said baffle member by the impingement of the fuel mixture on said baffle member as the fuel mixture moves thereby;
e. and downwardly directed outlet means in said tubular member within the fuel intake passageway;
f. the movement of fuel through the fuel intake passageway and the vacuum beneath the baffle member from said vortex type agitation being arranged to draw the unburned gases and fumes from the crankcase through said conduit for rebuming.
2. The device of claim 1 wherein said baffle member comprises an open bottom hollow core mounted on said tubular member with its apex pointed upstream with relation to the direction of flow of fuel in the fuel intake passageway.
3. The device of claim 1 wherein said baffle member com prises an open bottom hollow cone mounted on said tubular member with its apex pointed upstream with relation to the direction of flow of fuel in the fuel intake passageway, the said tubular member projecting through said cone intermediate the apex and base thereof whereby the said base is disposed downstream from said tubular member.
4. The device of claim 1 wherein said baffle member comprises a disc secured to said tubular member.

Pre-Viking tunic found by glacier as warming aids archaeologytags: global warming, Vikings, prehistoric man
, A pre-Viking woollen tunic found beside a thawing glacier in south Norway shows how global warming is proving something of a boon for archaeology, scientists said on Thursday.
The greenish-brown, loose-fitting outer clothing - suitable for a person up to about 176 cms (5 ft 9 inches) tall - was found 2,000 metres (6,560 ft) above sea level on what may have been a Roman-era trade route in south Norway.
Carbon dating showed it was made around 300 AD....

Saturday, January 17, 2015
We're nearly 20 days into 2015 already; this post has been sitting in the notes app on my phone for more than five weeks. I guess that means I'm starting the year as I mean to go on - as a pretty lousy blogger... I always thought the idea of new years resolutions was kinda silly, but I made some last year and found the exercise surprisingly useful and gratifying. Some of the best things I did in 2014 came about as a direct result - I'd been thinking about them for a while, but turning them into set goals gave me that extra push.
I have less specific things in mind for 2015, but at any rate, here's some stuff I'd like to accomplish this year:
Be the healthiest, happiest version of me
Overall, 2014 was a good year for me in terms of basic health and wellbeing. I went back to eating mostly vegetarian, started going to the gym (plus ballet and swimming) and stopped spending my evenings pointlessly browsing the internet. There were some setbacks - having asthma, putting on weight during the holidays, suffering with stress - but nothing worth dwelling on more than I have to. Actions:
- Go to bed earlier
- Start the day earlier
- Do more exercise
- Cook interesting vegan and vegetarian food (our repertoire is getting tired)
- Only drink alcohol once a week
Indulge my hobbies & try new things
Somewhere along the line I made my hobby my job. This is 80% AWESOME, 20% frustrating. Once a hobby becomes work it tends to lose the relaxing qualities it once had, and leaves your spare time kind of lacking. I recently remembered how much I LOVE audio books; they're the perfect pastime for me as a) listening does not require the attention of my eyeballs (which have been working all day long) and, b) I can do other things at the same time. Actions:
- Listen to more audio books (I just got an Audible subscription)
- Try perfume making
- Decorate our home
- Write (whilst trying to resist the urge to edit everything to within an inch of its life)
Buy less, buy better
This was on the list last year, and I think it'll probably stay on the list for the rest of my life. I don't think it requires any explanation or reiteration (?). 2014 was just okay on the shopping front. I hope 2015 will be better. Actions:
- Try project 333
- Sell/donate the things that are still lurking - unworn - in my closet
- Save money
- Make sure existing beauty products are used up before re-purchasing
And that's it! Nothing revolutionary here. I'm feeling quite stressed out at the moment, so I wanted to look at gradual lifestyle changes rather than set goals like 'lose 10lbs' or 'only buy one thing a month' - I definitely don't want to set myself up for failure (and the anxiety that comes with it). I know this all seems a bit vague (it is!) but maybe I'll expand on some of these points at a later date.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Did you make any resolutions? :-)

Can it really be November again? Where did you go, 2014? In a few weeks time I'll be another year older (25, eek) and a few more weeks after that it'll be that most wonderful time of the year again. There aren't many things I'm really lusting after right now, but if you're twisting my arm, Santa, I'd be pretty pleased to see any of the above under my tree...

LOVING everything in this current collection from KowTow - I probably won't buy anything (not sure they ship to UK, anyway) but it provides major wardrobe inspirations all the same. I'm really into these slouchy/loose 'contemporary kimono' shapes. Also, the crazy red polka dot pattern against black and white stripes? It so works!

I kinda feel like Everlane exists mainly to taunt me; my perfect wardrobe, manufactured responsibly and transparently, and available at a fair (and attainable) price - but I can't get my hands on it. The day they start shipping to the UK will be a high point in my life (and also the day I go bankrupt).

A few weeks ago, I was invited to visit the new ÜGOT café in Newcastle's Central Station, so Laura and I popped in one Friday afternoon. It was packed (good sign) so we dashed around and took a bunch of stuff back to our office for lunch... and WHAT a lunch, oh boy! ÜGOT sells my type of grub: fresh vegetables, BIG salads, interesting vegetarian and vegan options, fresh juice and smoothies, great coffee, fresh fruit, and nice but not-so-naughtly treats like chocolate and cinnamon nuts, dried fruit mixes and frozen yoghurt. Their offerings are seasonally directed, with an ever-changing menu that means that there's often something new to try.
Healthy, interesting, nutritious, FRESH food from a station? Hallelujah! This is what I was craving on aforementioned business trip (and everyday, now I think about it). Have you been to ÜGOT yet? Please post menu recs below!
I can't wait for my next visit to ÜGOT - I'm particularly looking forward to tasting the new peanut butter hot chocolate :-)
Many thanks to the team at ÜGOT for inviting me to try their new menu. More info: visit ugotuk.com, follow ÜGOT on Twitter and Instagram, and like ÜGOT on Facebook.

I know this collection has been kicking about for a while now but finally - now the breeze is cold and there's frost on the ground in the mornings and PSLs are back in Starbucks - I'm fully ready to appreciate it. I need grey, everything grey, in every woolly texture known to man. Man, those layers, those fringes, those popped collars! ♥

Jeans are my go-to item of clothing literally every single day. I wear them to work (thank you, creative industry, for making that possible), I wear them at the weekends and I even wear them to fancy dinners and on evenings out. In terms of cost-per-wear, I definitely get more value out of my jeans than from any other item that has ever graced my closet rail.
Despite loving jeans an awful lot, I find shopping for them difficult. I favour online shopping rather than 'real life' shopping, but not being able to try jeans on can be a big problem. That being said, jeans are one of the most frustrating things to try on in a cramped fitting room (especially if they're skinny, and require wiggling to put on and take off). I have quite a specific set of criteria when it comes to judging an acceptable pair:
- Darkish denim, but not a 'flat' colour - I like some whispering and natural looking wear
- Slim-legged but not ultra skinny
- Mid to high waisted - needs to cover my love handles
- Must have some stretch, as I'll often be sitting in them all day and they need to be comfortable
- I prefer the 'natural' coloured stitching (the slightly orangey coloured stuff) to the stitching that blends in with the denim colour
Whenever I'm in the market for new jeans I usually go through 10 or 20 pairs in various fitting rooms and online orders before finding some that are just right. I was slightly sceptical, then, when I got an email from JQ's PR people a couple of months ago, asking if I'd like to try some of theirs. Because: A) I'm so fussy about the style of jeans and B) I've never tried the brand before and wasn't sure what size I'd be, so I was really worried they wouldn't fit. But I'm not one to pass up the opportunity to try something new, so a month later, my chosen pair arrived from Italy.
I'm well aware that this is going to sound like a gushy I-love-getting-free-blogger-stuff review, but bear with me, okay? The short version is: I bloody love these jeans. The slightly longer version is: I bloody love these jeans so much that they have not been off my backside since they arrived, because they're beautiful and they fit like a dream. Details? Okay: The waist is snug (but not tight) to my natural waistline, with none of that annoying gape at the back. The material is durable but also soft and flexible, with just the right amount of stretch. The style is the ideal slim leg jean; not too skinny, not too baggy. They're really comfortable, and they look equally as nice with sneakers and a sweater as they do with a shirt and pumps. Pretty darn perfect then, if you ask me.
And the most important question? Yep, they make my butt look awesome.

Acne Canada scarf / Women in Clothes / Mahabis felt shoes / Jo Malone Earl Grey & Cucumber perfume / Pandora birthstone ring / APC bag
A few things I've been lusting after recently (loving those neutrals, as usual). I'm pleased to have said hello to Autumn; it's arrived in full force these past few weeks, with chilly breezes, golden leaves and too many pumpkin spice lattes...
I may finally splurge on the Acne Canada scarf after many years of admiring from afar - although spending over £100 on a scarf still sounds faintly ridiculous. What's on your Autumn wishlist?

Margaret Howell: what a babe. I've been hoicked right out of that fashion funk and plunged into new season bliss by way of burgundy corduroy and charcoal woolens. See that grey blazer top right? I have one just like that (a £20 ebay bargain, originally from Toast) and now I can't wait to dig it out. That's why I love you, MH. I say it every single year but my god, it's true; you make me fall in love with the clothes I already own, all over again. That's true talent (and kind on my bank balance).
Also, I am 100% on board with the inclusion of pyjamas in every collection ever.

Figures released by Eurostat show that Ireland has the highest rate of emigration in the European Union (EU). Recent statistics show that one person leaves Ireland every six minutes.
The new figures published by Eurostat, which is the statistical office of the European Union, show that Ireland not only had the highest emigration rate but also the highest birth rate and the lowest death rate for 2012. Despite the high birth rate and low death rate the statistics show that that population of Ireland experienced extremely modest growth due to emigration..
Earlier this year Ireland's Central Statistics Office (CSO) revealed that 240 people per day, ten people per hour - one person every six minutes - were leaving Ireland. The Irish government has admitted that emigration levels are "at an unacceptable level."
The CSO's figures show that 24.6 percent (21,900) of emigrants went to the United Kingdom, 17.2 percent (15,400) to Australia and, according to their graphs, 6.2 percent to the United States. One third of these emigrants are aged between 15 and 24.

I have been a patient off and on for ten years and I have recommended many friends. He is an excellent doctor and I feel so much better after being treated by him. Unfortunately I was in a car accident two months ago and he is treating me for an injured, back, shoulder, neck and he is doing an excellent job. His service is excellent and to top it off, he is very personable with a great sense of humor that makes you feel welcome to his office. His service is second to none and I have received many "thank you" from friends that I referred. Dr. Potocki is the best. I highly recommend him and yes, you can quote me on taht.

#1: The issue for Lone Pine is entirely related to the debt/EBITDA covenant, not overall solvency. There are no debt maturities due until 2016 (credit facility) and 2017 (senior notes). The straw that broke the camel's back for GMXR was the $53m convertible bond that matured in February 2013. At the time, GMXR did not have a line of credit, so after it paid off the convertible bond, there was no cash left and no flexibility. Lone Pine is much different because it has no looming repayments and has a large bank credit facility already in place. The entire issue could be put to rest if the lenders agree to suspend the covenant for some period of time to allow for additional asset sales and for production levels (i.e. EBITDA) to increase.
I think the positive SA article on LPR was generally well written and researched (at least much better than what I could likely produce) and the author is probably long. However, the comments made by SA readers suggesting a good possibility the company's equity could be wiped out because of its financial problems and a depressed market for its oil/gas assets also seemed valid. I was disappointed the author did not respond to any of the comments as it would have been interesting to hear his view. After reading the article and comments , I decided to bail and take a significant loss as I felt the probability of a total loss of its current equity might be 50%. LPR may work through its difficulties and double, triple, or more in the future, but my perceived risk of a total loss of its equity was greater than what I wanted to take. I may redirect its sales proceeds into its debt, as its assets no doubt have substantial value overt the debt if they are not sold at fire sale prices. Good luck to longs.
seeking alpha is a pump and dump company.they probably just bought in the 30 cent range and are now pumping to try to get the share up a little and then they will dump.i have seen this scam group to many times.a big reverse split is coming to this stock.buyer beware.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
I said as much a few days ago - you are right. People buy, write a pump on seeking alpha, then dump. just trying to make a quick buck. That douche even admitted to being "long".
Seeking Alpha does not buy or sell anything. It is a forum of independent bloggers. Anyone can join and post research on any Co providing you have some in depth DD to present. That would probably not include you.

new bare root fruit trees
im new to gardening and super new (today) to gardening forums! yeay!
anyway, i planted 3 (a cherry, apple and pear) bare root fruit trees that i got from home depot about two weeks ago. i trimmed them back pretty heavy but i was reluctant to lop them off at just above knee height, even tho that is where i would like the branches to form from so as to keep it short.. i just couldnt do it. shortly after, i bought a second cherry online and planted it a week later. when the online cherry came it was entirely too tall so i got my gusto up and lopped it off where i wanted the branches to stem. the online cherry had a much larger root system then the home depot ones and since last week its leafed out and shown growth. so this should bring you up to date. my question is, is it too late to lop off my other cherry and my pear? and should people even lop off the apples? i know we want a good strong central leader, so thats a bit confusing for me. any advice is welcome. thank you in advance :)
p.s- there no growth or change in the trees in asking about, not even bud swell. im just worried that maybe i didnt trim back enough for such a small root system..and accounting for the low quality care home depot has a reputation for lol
I've gotten trees from home depot and i didn't know enough to trim them.....i've bought 4 peaches, 1 apple, 1 pear, 2 plum, a cherry, fig.....and ALL those non-dwarf ones that were in good spots in the yard (enough sunlight) are now about 15 feet tall and the others still bloom and do relatively well. I think it might be a bit too early for buds/blooms if you're on the east coast considering we've had a rough/looong winter that's sadly STILL here.
don't worry too much and give it time. don't cut anymore! lol
im southern CA, sorry i didnt specify ;) zone 10a. usually im all for waiting it out but when the online cherry shot out leaves so fast it go my worried. they are dwarfs and i'd like to keep them small. i have them planted next to a wall (south side) on the back of my yard. were your trees bare root too?
This post was edited by lettuce_grow on Wed, Mar 19, 14 at 14:36
The big box store trees can be a problem. First, in order to sell well, they are grown large. This is problematic even with a good bare-root harvest. Then, to compound the issue, the roots are in pretty rough shape. The combination leads to not enough roots to support the top. So, heavy pruning of the top is advised in order to balance them out until the roots can regrow. IMO, more cutting may be in order.
If you do cut them off low, be sure to check for live buds below the point you hope to cut. Most of my experience is with peaches, and doing this to an older tree such as those sold at big box stores can be lethal as there is no live buds along the trunk to grow out.
I think apples and pears may be more capable of putting forth new branches low on the trunk, but I'm not certain of that. Either way, I wouldn't be heading those off so severely as I would try to maintain the central form.
The shipped cherry, and the store trees may have been treated differently, causing the differential growth. It is possible the store-trees were cooler-stored until just before shipping to the store. Only time will tell. And if they are as dormant as you say, it is not too late to prune further if you so desire.
thank you charina
ok, so...i kind of just went out and bit the bullet so to speak. i left my cherry and pear alone because even tho the buds havent shown growth that i can see, the branches still seem supple and when i planted them i did take the branches down to about 8 inches on the pear and maybe a foot on the cherry. that took off quite a bit of their growth and such. but the apple has truly been my main concern. even when i planted it, i thought the tree looked a little questionable but it was my husbands pick so i was trying to make due the best i could. i just went out and really looked at it critically and i saw that about half way up the central leader (which is all i left, thats what the dave wilson people said to do on their videos) there was discoloration and it just looked kind of dead. i loped it off :o i did it a bit above the discoloring and low and behold the wood inside looked dead! i trimmed it a bit closer to the color change and it looks ok. i kind of figure at this point, with this particular tree, if it dies i will just be getting a healthier one online but if it lives hurray! ;) thank you guys for giving me courage!

Exciting Update! (Well, for me, anyway)
After doing some tweaking here and there, I finally have the Goldenrod Underground Switch thing all set up! I'm just glad I have it finished since I've been trying to figure it out for the better part of the last few weeks. Neo-Dragon, you helped out big-time. XD
With that done, I don't think there's anything else that needs to be tweaked for the moment. So, I'll be getting in touch with Shadow_Pingu (I expected him to get in touch with me) and see if the CBS is finished so I can start implementing it. For now, I'll play-test through the game to make sure it has no glitches and then release it as the "final" revised demo.

Even clinton made a claim that the current economy was in a mess. So now Obama is having his skin picked of raw by even his own messmates! And Ryan done him a job by pointing this off.Obama: Jobs Destroyer
Phantom numbers conceal dire conditions. Reports are manipulated to distort reality. Last years data overstated about half a million jobs.
Seasonal adjustments turn reality on its head. So does the so-called birth-death model. It estimates net non-reported jobs from new businesses minus losses from others no longer operating.
During current economic hard times, it magically creates nonexistent jobs. Even the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) admits misreporting, saying:
The confidence level for the monthly change in total employment is on the order of plus or minus 430,000 jobs.
Mark Twains maxim about lies, damn lies and statistics perhaps applies mostly to government managed news misinformation. What matters most is concealed.
Claiming economic conditions are sound when real unemployment is 23% is one of the worst damn lies. Bipartisan complicity to destroy Americas social contract when its most needed shows total disregard for vital needs.
It proves government officials are enemies, not allies. Labor market reality reflects it. Monthly jobs reports are more trick than treat. Nearly 25 million Americans remain jobless. Low-pay/poor benefit part-time or temp ones replace full-time ones.
Each fall and winter well above trend job gains are reported. Every spring and summer, theyre reversed and then some. Hundreds of thousands of previously reported jobs vanish.
They never existed in the first place. Phantom numbers replace real ones. Official ones are statistical illusions. Obama is more jobs destroyer than creator.
The latest jobs report underwhelmed. Economist David Rosenberg said classic measures of employment dispersion or breadth receded significantly.
Barack Obama, our next President

#856445 Feb 8, 2013
TO THE 3/5 DEMOCRAT WHO HAS NO VOICE FOR THEIR PEOPLE:Hear the word of the Lord, you Israelites,
because the Lord has a charge to bring
against you who live in the land:
There is no faithfulness, no love,
no acknowledgment of God in the land.
2 There is only cursing,[a] lying and murder,
stealing and adultery;
they break all bounds,
and bloodshed follows bloodshed.
3 Because of this the land dries up,
and all who live in it waste away;
the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky
and the fish in the sea are swept away.
4 But let no one bring a charge,
let no one accuse another,
for your people are like those
who bring charges against a priest.
5 You stumble day and night,
and the prophets stumble with you.
So I will destroy your mother
6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.
Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also reject you as my priests;
because you have ignored the law of your God,
I also will ignore your children.
7 The more priests there were,
the more they sinned against me;
they exchanged their glorious God[b] for something disgraceful.
8 They feed on the sins of my people
and relish their wickedness.
9 And it will be: Like people, like priests.
I will punish both of them for their ways
and repay them for their deeds.
10 They will eat but not have enough;
they will engage in prostitution but not flourish,
because they have deserted the Lord
to give themselves 11 to prostitution;
old wine and new wine
take away their understanding.
12 My people consult a wooden idol,
and a diviners rod speaks to them.
A spirit of prostitution leads them astray;
they are unfaithful to their God.
13 They sacrifice on the mountaintops
and burn offerings on the hills,
under oak, poplar and terebinth,
where the shade is pleasant.
Therefore your daughters turn to prostitution
and your daughters-in-law to adultery.
14 I will not punish your daughters
when they turn to prostitution,
nor your daughters-in-law
when they commit adultery,
because the men themselves consort with harlots
and sacrifice with shrine prostitutes
a people without understanding will come to ruin!
15 Though you, Israel, commit adultery,
do not let Judah become guilty.
Do not go to Gilgal;
do not go up to Beth Aven.[c]
And do not swear,As surely as the Lord lives!
16 The Israelites are stubborn,
like a stubborn heifer.
How then can the Lord pasture them
like lambs in a meadow?
17 Ephraim is joined to idols;
leave him alone!
18 Even when their drinks are gone,
they continue their prostitution;
their rulers dearly love shameful ways.
19 A whirlwind will sweep them away,
and their sacrifices will bring them shame.

In fact his forces couldn't fight their way into a whorehouse and probably wouldn't know what to do if they did. Also Sadaam didn't give a rat's patootie what we did in Afghanistan. He had no use for groups like Al Qaeda and kept them out of his country. UN sanctions? Just how many UN sanctions were there against Israel since its formation?
Valerie Plame never said that Iraq had WMD you damned liar, in fact the investigations of her group found that Iraq's WMD programs had long been abandoned.
Iraq never actively harbored terrorists liar, Sadaam didn't want these religious whack jobs in his country.

Liberals Love High Taxes but Don't Like Paying Them
One of liberals' more infuriating traits is that they will invariably vote to raise taxes on everyone else, yet they will go to any length to avoid paying the taxes themselves. Recent examples include a pair of high-profile progressives likely to endorse wringing every penny out of your paycheck on behalf of the State.
The Rev. Al Sharpton, along with his nonprofit National Action Network and two for-profit firms, have $4.7 million in outstanding debt and liens, according to federal and state tax records, the New York Post reported on Sunday.
Among the debts include $806,875 that Sharpton owes the state, along with $2.6 million in federal liens against him for unpaid personal income taxes, the Post stated.
Recent filings showed the National Action Network owed $813,576 to the federal government at the end of 2012, and his company Rev-Al Communications owes $447,826 to the state…
The taxman cometh for actor Robert Redford – but the two-time Academy Award winner is fighting the nearly $1.6 million bill in court, claiming it violates his constitutional rights.
Redford was slapped with the whopping fee from the New York State Department of Taxation in May for the sale of his ownership in the Sundance Channel in 2005.
But the Utah resident is balking at the bill because the state constitution says he only has to pay income taxes on "intangible personal property" in his home state. …
Redford is worth an estimated $170 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. He owns a ranch in Utah and two more homes in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Napa Valley, California.
For many more examples, refer to the very core of tax-and-spend moonbattery, the Obama Regime itself, an infamous haven for tax cheats. Members or nominees of Obama's inner circle who agree with Democrat donor Leona Helmsley that taxes are only for the little people include the marry-for-money zillionaire Hanoi John Kerry, Kathleen Sebelius, Timothy Geithner, Tom Daschle, Ron Kirk, and Nancy Killefer.
Tax cheat Al Franken may not be in Obama's cabinet yet, but he is juvenile enough to belong there. Tax cheat and washed-up propagandist Keith Olbermann would make an excellent replacement for the hapless spokesliar Josh Earnest.
Meanwhile, Obama demagogues that it is "unpatriotic" for corporations to attempt to survive by escaping from the ruin liberals are making of this country in part through excessive taxation (although he helped Michigan auto parts maker Delphi to avoid taxes with this tactic during the quasi-takeover of the auto industry).
It is well known that conservatives give more to charity than liberals do. Liberals can be generous too, but usually only with other people's money. They make up for it by acting extra righteous about the goodness of their hearts.

Snapper Drive Disk Adjustment
I recently took a snapper series 6 apart to repaint it. When I first got it it didnt have a drive disk plate. I bought one for it and installed it on my 8Hp Briggs and placed it about where I thought it should go. After I put the engine on I realized it is about a 1/4 of a inch to high. Problem is I cant get it to go down, any ideas to help get it to go down? I really don't want to have to pull the engine off. Thanks in advance.
If you are referring to the aluminum disk, there is a way to adjust the setting.
Jack rear of the machine up and support it well. Preferrably automotive jack stands.
With an extension light, peer back thru the underside, above the battery box area, with the seat above your head, and then turn the engine crank-shaft and plate, until the adapter can be seen where the two Allen screws are. Using an allen wrench, the long type, loosen the 2 allen screws in the side of the adapter, and tap on the plate until it all moves downwards to the correct position. Then retighten the allen acrews, and you will be alright.
You ask:What is the correct position? The correct position is this: 3 7/8 inches, from the flat underside of the engine sump casting, to the top flat area of the drive plate!
now, i am quite sure, when you look under there and see how hard it is to do what i have just told you--you will realize that four bolts, several wire connections, a fuel hose , and whatever else, is-will be a heck of alot easier!
So my best bet is to remove the engine so I can use a puller to bring the plate down? I know that is probably easier but I just put the engine on today and got it running so it is very aggravating to have to take it all off again, especially since it is all painted up. I know its a mower but since I went through all the hours to clean, prep, and paint I want to try to stay away from scratching it all up. I brought it back from the dead, been sitting in a field 4 years with weeds growed all over it and without an engine. It was nice to hear it run for the first time today.
You should not need a puller. Just loosen the set screws and it will slide down the shaft. If you need a puller, something is wrong. I just stand them on end. That way, you can get to everything easily. It shouldn't be too hard to adjust. The spec is a good starting point, but I usually have to fudge a little to compensate for worn parts. I usually end up being a little low. Just don't get it too low or the clutch will not disengage.
"You should not need a puller. Just loosen the set screws and it will slide down the shaft. If you need a puller, something is wrong."
Not necessarily and Snapper even makes a special puller for them and I made one myself, but in his case, I think he just put it on so should move easily.
"Just don't get it too low or the clutch will not disengage"
And will not be able to get the belt off/on.
Walt Conner
OK, I got up this morning and adjusted the drive disk to specs. At first it would pull in first a little. So I moved it down some more, now it will pull in 1st and 2nd strong and a little in 3rd and none in 4th or 5th. If I move it down anymore the drive disk will be hitting the lift yoke. The lift yoke dosent look to be that worn, neither does the rubber on the driven disk. There is alot of slack in the rubber on the driven disk though, I can lift it up to touch the drive disk in 5th. I think the liner is shot from all the years outside not covered up without an engine. Any ideas? I need to get to mowing, lol.
Change the disk, it should have about twice that. Also you may want to look over the yoke and bushings closely for wear. I had the same problem with it not wanting to pull in 3rd gear. The yoke an bushings were worn badly. I replaced all the shifter parts that bolt to the back and now it will pop wheelies. LOL
I replaced the drive disk today. I bought one from my local mower shop, it came with the liner already with it. All my problems are solved now for the most part. Now I'm just trying to get everything loosened up. If I dont let off of the clutch pedal fast it will not engage all the way. I checked the springs and moved them up a notch so it will have more tension to pull up the yoke. Are my springs just wore out? I checked the clutch/brake cable it is not binding. I lubricated all the pivot points that I know of to make everything move more freely.

I have an older front marta brake that have a small problem. When a push the lever very very slowly the lever can go all the way to the bar and the pads don't move. Under normal condition I never happens and brakes works very well.
Any idea ?
