rainy day.
Be Real, I was challenged on the Scrapbook Circle blog to use and scrap a instagram picture. Using the instagram picture gave me the opportunity to scrap about what is happening RIGHT now with me.
supplies used: Here's the Story
I loved the water color papers and embellishments included in the kit--I could FINALLY scrap this picture! ;) I was really excited to be able to capture the rain drops on the outside of my windshield--the more I looked at the picture the more things I realized I captured:
the clouds.
the color of the sky.
the portables at the school.
the lights.
All of these little details helps tell where I am, waiting to pick up my daughter from the High School after her soccer practice.
I tried to copy that feel by painting my back ground with a pearl mist.
(When I say paint I literally mean sticking my paint brush in the container knocking the drops off and then painting the background.)
Thanks SO much for the visit today!

pinterest food finds. magic broccoli
3 comments: at 6:00 AM brought to you by Diana Waite
if you are a fan of broccoli...this is DELICIOUS!
source: RecipeTin Eats
- 2 medium heads of broccoli (see notes)
- 2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, separated
- ½ tsp salt (adjust to your taste)
- Black pepper
- Zest of half a lemon
- 1½ tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp freshly grated parmesan cheese
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
- Cut broccoli into florets and piled onto baking tray.
- Drizzle with 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, scatter with garlic, salt and pepper. Use your fingers to toss, then spread out over tray in a single layer. Adjust salt to your taste.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the tips of the florets are slightly browned. The broccoli should be "tender crisp", meaning just cooked through, not overcooked and floppy.
- Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle over the lemon juice and remaining 2 tbsp olive oil. Toss to combine. Scatter over lemon zest and parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
1. You need enough broccoli florets to fill a baking tray in a single layer. The broccoli shrinks while baking.
2. Reserve the stalks to use in stir fries or finely dice them and use in soups, fried rice, casseroles or even hide them in things like pasta sauces.
3. Please don't cut down on the oil. You simply won't get the caramelisation when roasting!

pinterest food finds. cheesy quinoa and broccoli patties
Intrigued? My family LOVES these--I dream of these, they are delicious!
credits: A Homemade Living
1/2 cup quinoa
1 cup water
5 large broccoli florets
1 small onion, diced
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup shredded cheese
1 large egg
Salt and Pepper for seasoning
Olive oil for cooking
1. First, cook your quinoa according to the directions on the packaging. I cooked mine by combining 1/2 cup of quinoa with 1 cup of boiling water, then letting it come to a boil, and simmering, covered for about 15 minutes. Once the quinoa has absorbed all the water (this shouldn't take longer than 15 minutes), put it on a plate and let it cool completely.
2. Next, saute your diced onion until it's soft and translucent. Set aside and let cool completely. Cook your broccoli until it has softened a little bit, then let it cool as well. Once the broccoli has cooled completely, dice it into small pieces.
3. Now that you have everything ready, in a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together, leaving the egg until the end. Mix well so you have a smooth, wet mixture that will allow you to make patties that will stick together.
4. Heat some olive oil in a pan, and make your patties. I made each using 1/4 cup of the mixture. Just make a ball out of the mixture, and squash it down a little bit. Cook each patty for about 7 – 8 minutes on each side on medium heat. You want the patty to develop a crust, but not to burn, so watch them carefully. Let cool for a couple of minutes before eating.

Germany: €970 million surplus for EEG levy in March08. April 2013 | Global PV markets, Financial & Legal Affairs, Markets & Trends | By: Mirco Sieg
In Germany, the EEG levy received a record surplus of around €970 million (US$ 1,263 million) last March, thus reducing significantly the accumulated deficit to around €450 million (US$ 586 million).
According to Germany's four biggest grid operators 50 Hertz, Amprion, Tennet and Transnet BW, the debt level of the EEG levy has sunk significantly in the last months.
Last March the EEG account received a record surplus of around €970 million. In February around €840 million was added, while in January €420 million was the figure. Hence the total account balance is rapidly moving closer to positive figures. If this upward trend continues, the account could break even as soon as next month.
During the course of 2012, the EEG levy had been registering negative figures and slipping deeper into the red. Although the monthly balance was still positive in the first quarter, from May onwards its expenditure was higher than its revenues. The highest debt level was recorded in October of 2012, when the negative figures reached a peak of €3 billion.

The present disclosure is related to an improved speed variable transmission system adapted for, in particular, electrically operated vehicle. The system is operated by common manual gear shift. The manual gear shift has a power source made up of a specially designed electric motor having a rotatable outer shell relatively moveable with respect to a core rotor so that the power from the rotatable outer shell and the core rotor of the electric motor can be output respectively to a front and a rear differential gear device, and the vehicle can be powered to move via the differential gear devices. The respective transmission shafts between the electric motor and the front and rear differential gear devices can be selectively locked so that the power from the motor can be selectively varied when output to the differential gear devices thereby the wheels of the automobile can be varied in speed.
1. A speed variable transmission system especially adapted for electrically operated vehicle mainly comprising:
a relative-rotation electric motor serving as a power source for the electrically operated vehicle, having a pair of output shafts;
a round front flanged member in association with one of said output shaft of said relative-rotation electric motor;
a round rear flanged member in association with the other said output shaft of said relative-rotation electric motor;
a pair of centrifugal clutches disposed in juxtaposition to said front flanged member and said rear flanged member respectively;
a pair of transmission shafts disposed in association with said centrifugal clutches at one end respectively;
a pair of front and rear differential gear devices connected to the other end of said corresponding transmission shafts respectively;
a control stick having a C-shaped prong with a pair of hands which can be selectively in contact with said round front flanged member or said rear flanged member so as to lock one of said round flanged members not to rotate when said control stick is pivoted to either side from a neutral position of said control stick;
by means of said control stick which can be in selective contact with one of said front and rear flanged members so to lock one of said output shafts not to rotate.
2. A speed variable transmission system for electrically operated vehicle as defined in claim 1 wherein said relative-rotation electric motor mainly comprising:
an outer shell stator which is equipped with an extended output shaft integrally associated with said shell of said motor; said extended output shaft being rotatably supported by a bearing means so that said outer shell stator can be rotated freely;
a core rotor disposed inside said shell stator and rotatably supported by a bearing means located respectively at each end of said shell; said core rotor having an outward extended shaft as a common electrical motor;
said core rotor having the same magnetic poles and wiring of a common electrical motor;
on the outer surface of said outer shell stator being disposed a pair of copper rings which are in constant contact with a pair of carbon brushes so to permit the electrical energy from a battery to deliver to said relative rotation electric motor;
said relative rotation electric motor being characterized in that said outer shell stator is able to rotate in opposite direction with said core rotor so that energy can be output by way of a pair of said output shafts.
3. A speed variable transmission system as defined in claim 1 wherein said centrifugal clutches can be replace by a pair of box spanner type ratchet gear means which can be put in 3 options so that the ratchet gear can be rotated only in clockwise or counter-clockwise direction or without restraint.
The present invention relates to a transmission gear shift system mainly adapted for an electrically operated automobile; in particular, the application is made to a remote control electrical automobile. The manually operated gear shift system can effect 3-stage speed variation.
Remote control electrical automobile has been developed in years to a satisfactory level as a result of the improvement in radio technology. However, the mechanical transmission adopted in the field has still not been changed in cope with the promotion in radio technology too much. The conventional electrical automobile employs a D-C electrical motor and a simple transmission system which is comprised of a simplified differential device. By change of the gear ratio of the transmission device, a proper torsion can be selected to meet the requirement in power.
However, the general type of remote control electrical automobile is not equipped with effective gear shift system so to permit the controlled automobile to run more in response to the driving condition.
The inventor has put a long period of time in studying the transmission system in electrical automobile and finally comes up with a gear shift system operated manually.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a manual gear shift system mainly adapted for electrically operated automobile, wherein a specially designed motor, which has a rotatable stator made up of the shell thereof and a rotor, is employed. The rotatable shell-stator is relatively moveable against the rotor and the motor serves as a power source of the automobile. A pair of differential gear devices made up of gears having different gear ratios are employed to control the operation of the wheels. Besides, by way of selectively locking the transmission shafts of the automobile, the speed of the wheels can be accordingly varied.
To better illustrate the structural features and operational modes of the present invention, a number of drawings are given in company with a detailed description of the preferred embodiment, in which;
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a conventional transmission device;
FIG. 2 is a perspective sectional view of the relative-rotation motor for the gear shift system of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the 3-stage gear shift transmission device thereof;
FIG. 4 is a top plane view of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the centrifugal clutch of the present invention;
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a box spanner type ratchet gear means which can be selectively operated.
Referring to FIG. 1, a conventional differential gear set is related to the engine by way of a universal joint D1 and a rotation shaft D2. The end of the rotation shaft D2 is attached with a helical gear D3 which is engaged with the annular gear D4 of the differential gear set. A pair of planet gears are engaged with the rotating annular gear D4 so that the engine power can be output to a left and right drive shaft D61 and D62 respectively. As it is well known that when one of the drive shaft D61 or D62 is locked not to rotate, the other left drive shaft D62 or D61 will take all the power from the engine. This idea constitutes the central idea of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 2, a specially designed electric motor 1 which is so called relative-rotation motor, is employed as the power source of the electrical automobile of the present invention. This special motor is structured to have a rotatable outer shell serving as the stator 11 of the motor and a core rotor 12, that are in opposite rotation when the electrical motor is in operation. Thereby the power produced by the relative-rotation electric motor 1 can be output in both directions.
To permit the outer shell stator 11 to rotate freely, the electrical power source is introduced into the electric motor by way of a pair of copper rings 141, 142 disposed on the outer shell thereof. The electrical power of the battery can be input by a couple of corresponding carbon brushes 13 into the motor 1 so that the outer shell stator 11 can be rotated without interference.
At each end of the outer shell stator 11 is disposed a bearing 15 so to keep the core rotor 12 in support, permitting the same to smoothly rotate. The outward extended shaft 121 of the core rotor 12 is identical to a conventional electric motor 1 and serves as a power output terminal. Another power output shaft 111 is integrally disposed at the other end of the outer shell stator 11, extended therefrom and supported by a bearing 16 so that the power of the motor can be output. As to the internal magnetic poles and wiring of the electric motor, they are identical to a common one. The electric motor can be designed with care to let the rotation inertia of the outer shell stator 11 and the core rotor 12 be identical. Thus, the output terminals of the electrical motor 1, i.e., the outer shell stator 11 and the core rotor 12, can respectively hold half of the output power.
When the output terminal 111 of the stator 11 is locked not to rotate, the whole power of the electric motor 1 is directed to the shaft 121 of the core rotor 12; and vice versa. It can be seen that the specially designed relative rotation electric motor can have the same function as a differential gear device to balance the power transmission.
To clarify the operation modes of the manual gear shift system of the present invention, a 3-stage speed variation process is given as below.
Referring to FIGS. 3, 4, the relative-rotation electric motor 1 serves as the power source, and the same consists of the outer shell stator 11 and the core rotor 12. The power generated by the electric motor 1 is transmitted by way of a front and rear flanged members 51, 52 and the centrifugal clutches 41, 42 as shown in FIG. 3 to the transmission shafts 21, 22 and finally to the front and rear differential gear devices 1D, 2D. Furthermore, four rotation shafts 31, 32, 33 and 34 are employed to convey the power produced by the motor to the respective tires 81, 82, 83, 84.
A control stick 7 with a C-shaped prong 71 at the end thereof is pivotable to a pivot joint 72, as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 4. The prong 71 has a pair of hands 711, 712. When the control stick 7 is put in a neutral position, the two hands 711, 712 are kept away from the surfaces of the flanged members 51, 52 so that the power produced by the electric motor's outer shell stator 11 and the core rotor 12 can be output. Once the control stick 7 is pivoted so such a position with the hand 711 in contact with the round front flanged member 51, the outer shell stator 11 will be locked not to rotate, thus the power produced by the electrical motor 1 goes totally to the core rotor 12. In the same manner, once the control stick 7 is moved to a position with the hand 712 in pressing contact with the round rear flanged member 52, the power produced by the electric motor 1 will be output via the outer shell stator 11. The centrifugal clutches 41, 42 permit the transmission shafts 21, 22 to freely rotate even when the front and rear flanged members 51, 52 are locked so that no braking condition will exist.
It is known from above description that there are 3 different kinds of speed condition produced by the proceeding manual gear shift system.
If the front differential gear device 1D has an annular gear D4, which is engaged with the helical gear D3 disposed at the end of the transmission shaft 21, with the gear ratio therebetween 3:1, referring to FIG. 1; and the gear ratio between the annular gear D4 of the rear differential gear device 2D and the helical gear D3 attached at the end of the transmission shaft 22 is 3:2; and the rotation speed of the relative rotation electric motor 1 has a speed of 9000 rpm, the following conditions can be produced:
1. When the transmission shafts 21, 22 are free to rotate, the core rotor can deliver a 6000 rpm speed to the transmission shaft 21, and the rotation shafts of the front wheels can have a speed of 6000�1/3=2000 rpm. Moreover, the outer shell stator can deliver a 3000 rpm speed to the transmission shaft 22, and the rotation shafts of the rear wheels can reach a speed of 3000�2/3=2000 rpm. With the four wheels operated at the same speed, the automobile can move on a smooth surface.
2. When the transmission shaft 22 associated with the outer shell stator of the electric motor is locked without rotating, the 9000 rpm speed produced by the electric motor will be output by way of the core rotor to the transmission shaft 21, the rotation shafts of the front wheels will be increased to 9000�1/3=3000 rpm (wheel speed), the speed of the automobile is faster.
3. When the transmission shaft 22 associated with the outer shell stator is released to rotate with the transmission shaft 21 coupled to the core rotor locked, the speed of the electric motor 9000 rpm will be delivered to the transmission shaft 22, and the rotation shafts of the rear wheels will reach a speed of 9000�2/3=6000 rpm, the vehicle even move more faster.
In case that one of the transmission shafts 21, 22 is locked not to rotate, the front or rear wheels can still be driven to rotate along with the wheels associated with the free transmission shaft due to the use of the centrifugal clutches. The above theory of how the speed of the wheels are varied can be applied in the following manner.
In the first instance given in the previous application, it can be regarded that the automobile is put in the first gear which can provide larger torsional force to make the still wheels to move.
In the second application, the automobile is regarded as in the second gear, only the front wheels are driven; the vehicle is more easily controlled in turning corners and is readily speeded up. The automobile in this condition is suitable for a curved road.
In the third application, the vehicle is identically put in the third gear and only the rear wheels are driven; under this condition, the automobile is best suitable for speeding up in a linear road. When the vehicle is on the move, not much torsion is needed and the third gear is able to obtain a high speed output.
Moreover, the centrifugal clutch can be replaced by a ratchet gear means which can provide the same function as the centrifugal clutch. However, the ratchet gear will prevent the power generated by the electric motor from transmitting to the wheels when the motor is rotating in reverse direction to reverse the vehicle. In this condition the electric motor is unable to produce any output at all. To overcome the problem, a box spanner type ratchet gear means, which has a neutral position and a clockwise and counter-clockwise positions, is used so to permit the ratchet gear means to be set in 3 options in which the ratchet is limited to spin in only clockwise or counter-clockwise direction or to rotate without restraint at all. The box spanner type gear means can be designed according to the common box spanner as shown in FIG. 6.

Three Tricky Conference Conundrums: A BlogHer Mentor Helps You Out
By alexandraRS on July 23, 2013
BlogHer Original Post
I'm proud to have been invited to be among the welcoming crew of the BlogHer Newbie mentors for BlogHer '13 -- and couldn't wait to share my my three tips for anyone headed to any blog conference. Promote yourself, know why you're going and remember to breathe.
Image: Danielle Tsi Photography
On the Touchy Subject of Self-Promotion
When I first began blogging almost four years ago, I had to teach myself everything about having a life online from the ground up. Starting from putting up a blog, to deciding whether or not to claim a niche. These things took time and determination, and the first time I uploaded a video and successfully had it play on my blog, I high-fived myself till the cows came home. One thing, however, that took me months of work and convincing to take the plunge if I ever wanted to see something happen for my writing being noticed, was self-promotion of my work.
Why oh why is this so difficult? What is it about submitting my work, asking others if I can guest post, or emailing bloggers I'd like to work with, that is so uncomfortable? I'll answer that for you: it's fear of rejection, and all that we think that will say about our abilities. It's called a comfort zone for a reason, it feels safe there. What I've since learned is that any kind of growth involves extending ourselves. An email that begins with "Unfortunately" will always hurt, yes, but if we don't chance those emails that can come back with "not this time," then by the same token, we'll never chance the emails that begin with, "We loved your work and would love to see more from you!" You've got to play to win, and no one is going to toot your horn for you.
So, straighten those shoulders, put on a big smile, and pass out those cards. Give out your url, send in your work, tell people what you do and where they can find you. What they'll come away with after meeting you is remembering a voice that confidently promises, "Come see what I can offer you."
On Choosing Your Sessions
I look at BlogHer Conference offerings like most women drool over jewelry counters. "ooh, this one... no, this one. BUT LOOK AT THIS ONE!"
Learning is my candy. I love BlogHer for many different reasons, and seeing the people I interact with daily online is a huge magnet for my annual attendance, but best of all isthe variety of sessions and panels made available to conference goers. Deciding on where to be can feel overwhelming because there are sessions on Things You Want To Learn, Things You Know You Need to Learn, and People I Want To Hear. What to do? For me, I highlight everything that excites me, and then one at a time, I fairly pick from NEED TO KNOW, like how-tos, another from WOULD LOVE TO LEARN, like photography on your site, and then a choice from PRESENTERS I LOVE, like Deb Rox. I also take into account different environments: do I want to sit and listen or do I want to interact (panels vs. Room of Your Own), then I think about the awesome clinics-- the ones on humor and grammar tips, and other topics, that are an intimate 5 or 6 people to a table.
Choosing your sessions is important to feeling like your time at BlogHer is well spent. Doing your homework before you go prepares you with a mindset of what to do once there. Structure is something that keeps me from feeling like I've lost my mommy in the grocery store (like you don't know what I'm talking about....). BUT, that said, even though I plan my time of where and when at BlogHer, once there, I also know when my brain is fried and my eyes begin to cross, and I skip the session or panel and get fresh air outside instead, or find a new friend and invite them to sit at an outdoor cafe with me, or pull my keycard out of my purse and work my way back to my air conditioned hotel room and breathe. Choosing sessions helps you keep sane, but breathing plays a bigger part in that.
The best advice I can give on what to do about the mind candy store that BlogHer is, is to decide by taking STEP NUMBER ONE: Why are you going? Your answer to that, will serve as a divining rod as to which agenda to follow.

Indeed it was. The president had just dined at Sukiyabashi Jiro, where the Michelin three-star chef, octogenarian sushi master Jiro Ono, was featured in the documentary "Jiro Dreams of Sushi."

Financial Words of the Week: Back to School – Student Loans / FAFSA
Back to School Series
There are different types of student aid that come from various sources. Aid can be in the form of grants (money that is not required to be paid back) that come from schools, private organizations or even from the state and federal government. Some students enter work-study programs that allow them to earn money towards their education as another type of aid. The most common form of aid comes from student loans.
Student loans are funds that are made available for students and guardians to pay for education expenses. It is important to note that, like all other loans, student loans are required to be paid back. However, many student loans offer a deferment period‡ that eliminates the need for payments while a student is in school. There are some loans that are subsidized, so that while a student is in school, the loans don't accrue interest that the student will have to pay. The federal government is actually paying that interest, not the student. There are also unsubsidized loans in which the interest accrues while the student is still in school. There still may be the option to utilize in-school deferment, but the interest adds up the entire time the loan exists.
Sometimes it can be difficult to know where to start and which form of aid you may be eligible for. That is where Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) comes in. The FAFSA is a form developed by the federal government that helps determine what types of aid students qualify for. Most colleges require that you complete the FAFSA when applying for financial aid. Visit FAFSA's website‡ to find out more details.
Remember to also work with a bank partner or trusted financial advisor, your high school guidance counselor and your college admissions office to understand if there are any additional resources for your education expenses.

Homelite XL Chainsaw
Hello everyone! I am from Alberta, Canada and I am new to to the chainsaw fixing world. I have been in the dark and had somebody repair my stuff for too long now. I can fix minor problems, but I'm now having problems with a newly acquired used older Homelite XL Automatic Chainsaw.
I have no markings on the saw except for the one decal that says Homelite XL Automatic. What do I look for in order to determine what year is this from, and the UT#?
How do I determine what parts are accessable for me to get it running?
I've been told that I possibly need a new clutch, but I am in need of the manual and I don't know what the UT# of the saw is, or any part numbers.
I would appreciate some help in some direction on where to start.
I'm sure I don't sound too smart to all of you chainsaw masters out there, but I want to learn what I can, and get started to make this chainsaw work for me.
Thanks again everyone!
Hey Dude Welcome to the Site . Lots of High Tech Dudes on board. Review the Saw Threads Homelite XL saws have been discussed at length c/w pictures with numerous problems solved . Check your saw for a Serial and Model Number which should be on a metal Tag affixed to the Engine Casing . If not at least the Colour would assist , since this narrows down the vintage some what. I know others on the site will forward Operating Manual info once they see your request .
Great Site with a lot of Info Cam .
Thanks for the welcome, ewalk. I have been reading everything I can on the XL and have found A LOT of really good info here.
It's weird, I seem to suddenly have OCD about my newly acquired Homelite. I love a challenge and I feel great confidence knowing this site will be able to help.
First point, the XL is orange, not blue, so it's from after 1970? It has no metal tags anywhere so I can't find a UT or Serial number.
I will try to get some pictures on asap so people can see what it is I have.
I'd check out the ArboristSite Chainsaw Forum too. ALOT of chainsaw info there from folks that only talk about chainsaws.
Is your saw orange with a green air filter cover? If so, it is from the early 60's. Later the colour changed to blue and white then red around 1970. NOS parts are almost non existent. Check farm sales, auctions, and flea markets for similar saws. That was a very popular unit with farmers.
Do you have a chainsaw dealer in your area that has been in business a long time? Those guys tend to accumulate a lot of old saws and parts, just never get around to cleaning house. House of Saws in Calgary might be a place to start.
It's red, not orange. Sorry for the confusion. House of saws is a bit too far for me. I'm by Rocky Mountaion House. When I asked my local dealer he informed me that he has nothing for older homelites. Ebay and the rest of the internet will have to do!
My XL is in need of an overhaul, other than new fuel lines what else should I replace first? I want to order everything at once. I'm not going to really use it for a while. It does try to turn over, but a quick look inside tells me that everything needs to be cleaned out properly. This saw definately sat for a while.
I can also see that I need to replace the drive sprocket, the chain has eaten its way through. What is the main cause for this? I'm not used to any problems like that. I've only been running new Stihl and Husqvarna stuff and the repairs I've had to make have been very simple and quick.
Remove the muffler and have a peak at the piston and cylinder. If they look galled or scored, forget about it. At the very least you would need to disassemble and clean the carburetor thoroughly taking note as you lay the parts out how it goes back together. I spray them with carb and choke cleaner. Then install an overhaul kit. Replace the fuel line and in tank filter, the latter can be fished out through the filler.
The sprocket is worn out and needs to be replaced. If yours has the smaller 3/8" bore nobody makes it anymore.I believe Oregon still has the newer version with the 5/8". Bars and chain are also available from Oregon but other than the carb kit, parts are pretty much nla.
I played around a bit today and I finally got the XL running. I'll still do the carb and lines soon. Can't test it under power until I find a new sprocket. I'm trying to find a 3/8" bore somewhere so I can keep using the large number of bars and chains that came with the saw.
Can the year of manufacture or UT# be determined by the title "Homelite XL Automatic" that is on the side decal? I've seen others that are almost the same but with "Homelite XL Automatic Oiling" on it instead.
While some parts for the HOMELITE XL may be getting scarce, I have most any new or used in stock.
Due to old age the rubber-like parts are going bad, Air Filter, Fuel & Oil Lines and the 2 duck-billed valves all have a limited life...
I stock all of them and both the 1/4" and 3/8" sprockets and bars.
Fuel Mix is best at 32:1. The EXACT-MIX squeeze bottle is not accurate enough for me as any error at the 50:1 ratio can be a BIG and expensive error.
Bill Walcott
My good neighbor gave me a a homelite xl 12 chainsaw. It appears the saw hasn't been used much. When it was given to me, the starter rope could not be pulled. The flywheel would hang on something. Finally saw a bolt has worked loose and was catching the flywheel. Popped the flywheel off and tightened the bolt.
The compression is very good. I do need to replace the gas line for sure. I'm not getting any fire to the spark plug. NOt sure if its the coil or points and condensor. Any advice on this????
Plus, how do i get to the points. sorry, just couldn't figure it out.
glen230 , Does Homelite XL Automatic Chainsaw have points vs electronic ignition? Points are showing at the link below. The points would be mounted under the flywheel in the magneto system.
Quote from jdfuzz:
"Hi, I have a homelite xl automatic oiler and it is burning bar oil.. How can I fix it ? "
jdfuzz, there are alot of variations of Homelite xl automatic chainsaws. Some of which are small saws that have diaphragm sytle oilers that are driven with crankcase pressure. If this is the type of oiling system on your saw, a damaged diaphragm can be a way for bar oil to be pulled into the crankcase and burned. What is the model number of your saw?
I also have an old Homelite chainsaw. it's a XL Textron. It's red so that narrows it down for me a bit according to a previous post. From the "70's". Still made good stuff back then. It's got a sixteen inch bar and automatic oiling but that's the problem, it's not getting oil to the chain. Does anyone have a model number for this. The tag with the model number is unreadable so I can't even begin to find a manual. Is there a pump that squirts out the oil? It's too bad because the motor runs good. People tell me it is a good one. I also need new gaskets for the two fill caps.

NHL Playoffs, Flyers v. Canadiens: Flyers say Habs should worry about 'karma'
May 21, 2010, 9:05 PM EDT
Who knew this series between the Canadiens and the Flyers would
become as fun as it has? With the way the Canadiens were systematically
handled in both games in Philadelphia, there might have been some
thought that the Flyers would have perhaps a bit easier path to the Cup
finals than we initially thought.
If you've watched the Canadiens
at all this postseason, then you had to know they would not go down
with out a fight. And fight they did in Game 3.
The Canadiens
destroyed the Flyers on home ice on Thursday night and when the game
became out of hand decided to take out their frustrations not just on
the scoreboard but on the Flyers themselves as well. A number of heated
scrums broke out in the latter part of the game, including one in which
Mike Cammalleri stuck his tongue out at fellow agitation specialist Dan
Maxim Lapierre
Carcillo and Mike Richards spoke today on the physical
play of the Canadiens, vowing that
it's something they'll have to remember for motivation for Game 4,
tomorrow live on NBC at 3 p.m. EDT.
"They played well, they played hard," [Carcillo] said. "We all knew
they were
going to do that. It's nothing different. You know, they didn't do that
kind of stuff in our rink. But they're in their rink … I don't know
how to explain it. They played a good game. They're happy about it. That
kind of stuff happens when you're flying high."
While I'm sure the Flyers can understand the physicality a team like
the Canadiens can use to their advantage, it seems they've taken
particular exception to the team apparently using the home crowd's
enthusiasm and turning it into arrogance. Now, I don't think there's any
such thing as running up the score in hockey but Richards wasn't too
happy about about the Habs doing their best to score on a late two-man
"It is what it is," said Richards. "We take penalties, they try to
capitalize on it. So I think we want to take that dirty taste or that
bitter taste in our mouth from them doing that, and move forward and try
our best (Saturday) to use that energy in a positive way.
"I'm not sure what they were trying to do. Obviously score is the
first thing. Maybe stick it to us a little bit because we were maybe
rung around a bit.
"But karma sometimes comes back to you too at some point."
I can understand being upset with having a tongue stuck out at you (I
still can't believe that happened). I can certainly understand with
getting upset with what the players have been saying in those scrums to
anger the Flyers and goad them into penalties. But if you're angry
because a team tried to score on a late power play, then you need to go
back to the locker room and think about your priorities.
The Flyers are still in control of this series. They can't be worried
about "karma" or "remembering what so-and-so said to me". The Habs are
incredibly confident at home, they'll have to find some way to get back
to the play that was so successful for them in the first two games of
the season.
- Dave - May 21, 2010 at 9:43 PM
It was Mike Cammalleri who stuck out his tongue at Carcillo not Lapierre.
- Eric Duhamel - May 22, 2010 at 12:13 AM
3 p.m. EDT, What that? Hockey is 7 p.m.
Any way, Montréal win saturday night eh! at 3 p.m.
- Bernie Parent - May 22, 2010 at 2:00 AM
Thanks for the defining moment of clarity Dave, that would make Cammalleri the p*ssy then, glad we got that sorted out.
- NEO1228 - May 22, 2010 at 7:34 AM
There's no such thing as running up the score in sports. If you don't want it to happen, then play better defense to prevent them from scoring. Simple as that.
- Burning Ham - May 22, 2010 at 9:13 AM
What I find amusing is that they had no problem with the score in game one.
- Robt - May 22, 2010 at 10:51 AM
Who cares who wins this series the Blackhawks will sweep either one of these bottom feeders.

The nearly four-week long five-phase Assembly polls in Jharkhand held in the shadow of Maoist violence concluded today with an overall 58 per cent voter turnout after the end of the final phase marred by landmine explosions in which two policemen were killed.
The electorate in the mineral-rich State rejected the call for poll boycott given by Maoists and turned in larger numbers than in the previous 2005 Assembly polls, which recorded a 55 per cent voter turn-out.
An estimated 58 to 60 per cent of eligible voters cast their ballot in the fifth phase for the remaining 16 seats in the 81-member Assembly.
Counting of votes in the elections held under unprecedented security cover will be taken up on December 23.
The first phase of elections commenced on November 25.
The wife of State's former Chief Minister, Madhu Koda - who is at the centre of a multi-score money laundering scam - was among the 290 candidates in the fray today.
Officials of the Election Commission in New Delhi and the State poll body in Ranchi monitored the polling through webcam in eight booths — one each in Chaibasa, Sareikela, Garhwa, Chatra, Latehar, Barkatha and two in Palamau," an EC spokesman said.
Maoists exploded a landmine at Mahur in Hussainabad constituency in Palamau district, killing a police havildar and injuring two others, SP Jatin Narwal said.
A brief encounter took place between policemen and Maoists at Dakra shortly after the explosion, he said.
Maoists also triggered a landmine blast at Titlighat in Saranda forest under Jagannathpur assembly constituency in West Singhbhum district in which a CRPF jawan was killed, IGP V. H. Deshmukh told PTI.

Lake house shower help
I'm finally caving and going to remove our claw foot tub and put in a shower as we're getting older now. My problem is that there is only enough room for a 33 by 32 or less shower. I've searched all over looking for a nice one that doesn't get bad reviews and so far no luck. Have any of you had experience in finding a good one? Any help is appreciated.
My tub sits below a gorgeous window looking out to the lakes and mountains and I don't want to give it up. Consequently there is very little wall space so it would have to be a small shower. Tomorrow I'm going there and see if I can figure a better plan but I've yet to find a shower stall that I like. I want a single unit as I don't want tile at this time in my life. I have back issues and am limited in the work I can do. Thanks for answering.

(JTA) -- Members of the Minnesota Rabbinical Association have signed a statement opposing a state ballot initiative that would ban same-sex marriages.
The group represents rabbis from 15 congregations in the state from the Conservative, Reform and Reconstructionist movements. No Orthodox rabbis signed the statement, which was adopted last month.
The statement said the rabbis were unanimous in opposing the amendment on the Nov. 6 ballot recognizing marriage only as a union between a man and a woman.
In their statement, the rabbis said the amendment "seeks to continue the practice of leaving individual families within the LGBT community vulnerable and unprotected by the law. To honor an individual is to fight against discrimination in society for any reason, including race, religion, natural origin, gender, age or sexual orientation.
"Throughout history the Jewish community has faced discrimination, and therefore we will not stand by while others are targeted," the rabbis said. "The MRA cannot condone using the constitution to deny civil rights. As rabbis, we embrace the diversity of God's creation."
The association "urges all Minnesotans of conscience and faith" to vote against the initiative, the statement said.
Some 42,000 Jews live in Minnesota, according to the Star-Tribune.

H. 'Summer Lovin' ain't lovin' this summer
I really like this hosta and in its second year in my garden was looking really good this spring until it was attacked by cutworms. It has really good substance. 'Luna Moth' in the same bed and thinner substance has been virtually untouched. I don't get it. Have any of your hostas have been left alone while others have been attacked?
Wow. Luna Moth does look perfect. The only perfect ones I have are the ones protected by copper.
The one that I don't get in my garden is Maui Buttercups. Thick substance, yet they hit it hard every year. Gonna figure out a copper ring for that one next year.
You know, I think earwigs start to do noticeable damage this time of the season. Maybe they do it earlier as well but around this time, I really see them out there and a lot of the hosta have small peck marks that I think are caused by those earwigs.
No, cutworms don't move from plant to plant. The moth lays it's egg and that's where the cutworm hatches, feeds and then makes a cocoon (not sure where they put them or what they look like). They have no method of locomotion as caterpillars.
I haven't watched this particular caterpillar, but have watched the gulf frittilary. In that case, she lays one egg at a time on the host plant (passionflower). The egg is about the size of a grain of kosher salt. It hatches as a tiny little caterpillar where it eats for about 2 weeks and becomes a caterpillar about as big around as a straw and an inch and a half long. Then it attaches itself to some stationary object and makes a cocoon, where it changes into a butterfly in a couple of weeks if the weather is right.
I have cutworms pretty bad this year, and now I see lots of moths flying around my yard. I'm going to have a worse year next year I think with these things. I need to start treating for them before they get out of control. Yes, I've noticed some hostas get chewed up worse than others, even growing next to one another one can be chewed up and its neighbor not have a single mark.
Certainly if you have hosta plants touching each other you are going to get some cutworm migration. There are a couple of species of them, some of them work on the stems and some eat the leaves but they are caterpillars of an underwing moth. Not every moth is a cutworm tho and not every one eats hostas.
Wonder if dormant oil applied to the crowns in early spring would keep the eggs from hatching? Just kind of thinking out loud. Will have to research using dormant oil on hostas.
@ Mosswitch: Please, let us know about the dormant oil if it helps. The fact that the diatomeceous earth didn't help with the cutworms is explained by Bkay when she says that they have no mode of locomotion. I have seen dense white fluffy stuff about the size of a dime on my hostas and I've been rubbing it off. Wonder if this is what the moth lays its egg in.
I'm just thinking about using the dormant oil in the early spring on the crowns before the leaves unfurl, as it might damage the young leaves. Still looking.
Cutworm caterpillars crawl around like any other caterpillar, they just don't usually move off the primary host plant unless it's all eaten up and they are in search of more food or adjacent plants are touching and it is convenient. They definitely crawl off to pupate.
There are stem and root eating cutworms and climbing leaf eating cutworms. Stomachs with legs.
So far I haven't found anything pro or con. Except that newer horticultural oils and all season oils can be used on some perennials (read labels!) Still looking. Might contact MoBot and ask someone there.
Meanwhile. Other musings based on hints of things I've found and the random poppings up in my own scattered mind: cotton seed oil is effective as a hort oil. How about mulching with composted cottonburr? Good for the plants, anyway. Cedar repels clothes moths, how about mulching with cedar mulch? Would it repel cutworm moths? Worth a try?

Intercity Premium Hotel Cuiabá: Cool place in a hot city
Cuiabá literally was the hottest place we've visited on our last trip to Brazil- when we arrived it was around 45°C! Due to the heat a decent hotel was all the more important to us.
Intercity Premium in Cuiabá lies ca. 6 km North of Marechal Rondon International Airport. It's a very modern hotel with huge, tastefully furnished rooms and lots of pleasant features like, for example, an outdoor pool and bar. The staff was very friendly and helpful and check in was finished quickly. Our room was equipped with phone, TV, air condition and minibar. There also is a 24 h room service which we called once. Unfortunately the guy responsible for the room service did not speak any English and I had to rummage my brain for what is left of my Spanish lessons! ; )
We've unfortunately not been able to try breakfast as we had to leave too early in the morning the next day.
As mentioned above: the hotel does have a very nice outdoor swimming pool with a bar right next to it. There also is a small outdoor fitness centre close to the pool. Some more of the hotel's features are: a restaurant, laundry service, indoor parking and a conference centre which includes 3 rooms of various sizes.
In the hotel's close vicinity you can find many nice restaurants and bars.

Real Palace: Low budget Hotel
It's cheap, it's clean and comfortable. Perfect accomodation for the low budget traveler (more than 1 person). Located in the center of Cuiabá. You don't want to stay to long in Cuiabá, but for 1 or 2 nights this is a good place.
Nothing unique.
