Author Bio
Fitzgerald was born in St. Paul, Minnesota and attended prep school, then Princeton University. ("I was always the poorest boy at a rich man's school," he claimed.) He was a lackluster student; when he dropped out to enlist in the army during World War I, he was on academic probation. The armistice was signed before Fitzgerald could see service, and he was discharged in 1919. He began writing THIS SIDE OF PARADISE, based on his Princeton years, when he was 21, and was 24 when it was published. The success of the novel--which was called by Edmund Wilson "one of the most illiterate books of any merit ever published"--enabled him to marry Zelda Sayre, whose family disapproved of him and his prospects. Fitzgerald gained growing celebrity as a major new voice in American fiction, and he and Zelda became the 1920s' equivalent of jet-setters, dividing their time between New York, Paris, and the Riviera--part of the circle of American expatriates that included Gertrude Stein, Hemingway, and Dos Passos, writers about whom Stein coined the term "the lost generation." Fitzgerald continued to write all his life, including the obligatory stint in Hollywood, but was gradually taken over by alcoholism and the general dissolution of his life, and many of his later years were plagued by doubt, debt, and failure. He died at the absurdly young age of 44, of a heart attack.
"A curious book, a mystical, glamourous story of today. It takes a deeper cut at life than hitherto has been enjoyed by Mr. Fitzgerald. He writes well-he always has-for he writes naturally, and his sense of form is becoming perfected." - Edwin Clark 04/19/1925

Business Matters: Universal's Deal for EMI No Longer a Sure Thing, But Still Worthwhile
How much will Universal Music Group miss that pound of flesh the European Commission took when it forced considerable concessions from the world's largest record company in exchange from its approval of a merger with EMI Music? That's the question as Universal prepares to sell business throughout Europe to reduce its competitive footprint.
The merger was a win for Universal in many ways. The company will grow its share of the recorded music market in the U.S., U.K. and other major markets. It will add artists such as the Beatles and Katy Perry to its roster. It will get some -- but not all -- of the cost savings it originally set out to achieve. This is an auspicious beginning to the Lucian Grainge era.
Universal Music CEO Lucian Grainge on Owning EMI, Growing Capitol and Virgin, and Losing Parlophone
But the deal no longer has the instant look of success it did when Universal's bid of $1.9 billion (£1.2 billion) won Citigroup's auction in November. The EC played harder hardball than people in the industry had expected. Now Universal must divest a laundry list of assets even though its purchase price remains at $1.9 billion.
Universal-EMI Merger: A Timeline Of Events
The exact value of the assets to be sold is unknown, but it's clear many of the labels and artists being divested are most popular in Europe. Reports put their combined size at 30% of EMI's global operations and their annual European revenues at $450 million. It's a big loss in Europe but less of a loss in the U.S. (which is why the FTC did not seek concessions) and elsewhere.
The concessions introduce a new element of risk. Selling assets at a possible loss and losing cost synergies could effectively raises EMI's acquisition price. The exact value of the assets to be divested is unknown and Universal may be able to fetch very good prices. But if we assume the value of EMI declines by just 5%, due to divestitures, the acquisition price will have increased to $2 billion from $1.9 billion. Greater losses mean a higher acquisition price. On the other hand, Universal could come out ahead if the buyers of Parlaphone, Mute and other labels pay more than Universal paid Citigroup.
Other factors erode the value of the deal, too, although in subtle ways that are all but impossible to quantify. For example, Universal cannot use a most-favored nation clause in licensing contracts with digital services. Such a clause allows Universal to receive any term granted to its competitors. A high royalty given to one competitor, for example, would mean a licensor with most-favored nation status would also receive that royalty. Without the ability to employ that clause, Universal loses some digital royalties. It could be a small amount, but the amount is significant enough for the EU to add most-favored nation to its list of concessions. This concession is worth taking to get the deal done.
If size equals power equals negotiating power, a smaller post-merger Universal will be less valuable. Universal executives were correct when they said the company -- and the record industry in general -- does not have much leverage in dealing with digital giants like iTunes and cannot simply raise prices on brick-and-mortar chains because it's the biggest music company in the world. But economic theory holds that businesses that have market power will use it to their advantage. When assessing mergers and acquisitions, regulators apply economic theory that's based on historical precedent. So you have to figure there's more than theory at work here. Understanding that Universal didn't buy EMI just for the fun, the EU had to scale down Universal's value a few notches.
Universal and the Sony-led consortium that acquired EMI's publishing business didn't buy music history, per se. They bought the future value of music history. They acquired catalogs based on the cash they will generate in the future, not the cash they have already generated in the past. They bought assets based on the cash the assets will generate on the formats of the future, not the formats of the past.
The obvious question is, did Universal overpay? That's difficult to answer without knowing the value of EMI assets it will sell. But we know Universal will sell quite a few valuable assets that make up a large portion of EMI's current business, especially in Europe. And we know Universal would rather keep those assets than take whatever money they will get for their sales. Universal will have a difficult time reinvesting that money in similar assets -- world-class catalogs and music companies don't come up for sale every day.
When compared to historical values of EMI, and when combined with the $1.4 billion purchase price of EMI's publishing business, one can see Universal paid far less than Terra Firma in 2007 (4.2 billion pounds, or roughly $8 billion at the time) and less than Terra Firma's valuation of EMI in 2009 (2.2 billion pounds). The 2.6 billion pounds ($4.1 billion) cumulatively paid by Universal and the Sony-led consortium for the sum of EMI's parts is 38.1% lower than the 4.2 billion pounds paid by private equity firm Terra Firma in 2007.
EMI fetched a good price relative to Warner Music Group's $3.3 billion price tag in May 2011. Warner has annual sales of about $2.87 billion.
With the concessions imposed by the EU and the new elements of risk, Universal's EMI deal no longer seems like the sure thing it was in November. But it's also safe to say Universal and Sony et al didn't make Terra Firma's blunder by overpaying. Valuations are -- correctly -- lower than in years past. Assuming Universal doesn't lose its shirt on the divestments, this deal, headaches and all, could work out just fine.
Besides, this was a deal that was going to get done. As businessmen often say, "If you're not growing, you're dying."

When I joined what was then Ryerson Polytechnic Institute in 1991, I could hardly have imagined that I would still be employed here over two decades later – let alone still loving my work. So many changes have occurred over those intervening years. As Canada's leader in innovative, career-focused education, Ryerson University has grown not only in size but also quality.
In my previous roles as Ryerson's Chief Financial Officer, and, Executive Director, Financial Services, I learned – among many other lessons – that strong organizations are built on trust and respect. Indeed, these are two of the essential ingredients of the dynamic People First culture that has been nurtured over the last few years across the university.
Now, in my new position as Vice President, Administration & Finance and Chief Financial Officer, I take great pride in working with a team of leaders who ensure the well-being of Ryerson's people, infrastructure and finance. My Administration and Finance Management Group (AFMG) colleagues are unmatched leaders in their fields. They are responsible for everything from delivering modern computing and communication services to keeping our campus safe; from making healthy and delicious food available across campus to embedding equity, diversity and inclusion in every aspect of our operation. Uniting all the many things we do is a commitment to supporting Ryerson's priorities and the fulfilment of its ambitious Academic Plan.

Honduras have even called up a replacement player, Edder Delgado, who is now on standby after their medical staff assessed Peralta. But the 25-year-old is convinced he will prove his fitness ahead of the tournament this month.
"I have faith I will play at the World Cup," he said. "I have not played for a while because of medical advice, but I hope to return to full training today.
"I feel great and I know I will be good to play in Brazil."

about me
Hello and thank you for taking the time to view my profile. My name is Joscelin and I hope that you will find that your time viewing my profile is not wasted. Here is a little about myself. I am a 18 yr old mixed American female. I am energetic and active. I am family and spiritually oriented. I am very romantic and passionate and look for that in other people. Nothing betters then passion. I tend to be a planner and would like to learn to be more spontaneous. I would love to find someone who just shows up at my doorstep and says & quot;We're out of here.& quot; and off we go for an unplanned weekend. I am definitely a city girl and like to hit the movies (I'm a sucker for a sappy, romantic comedy), go to the theater, shop, have a romantic dinner out or just hang out with my friends drinking martinis. I love nightlife and sleeping in late on Sunday mornings reading the paper, my favorite magazine or watching a movie. I like to travel either on short day trips or on longer planned vacation. I love vacationing in places with warm weather and lots of sun. I also enjoy nothing better then a romantic evening at home cooking dinner and then
up by a fire with a glass of wine and watching TV or a movie. I just moved to Los Angeles from New York and am looking to meet some cool new people to hang out with think a & quot;Sex and the City& quot; type of group. Along with a cool group of friends I would love to find that one special guy. You know the one who makes you smile by just being in the room, makes you heart stop by looking in your eyes or the one you hope it is every time your phone rings. I love to go out and have a good time and meet new people so drop me a line
about my fling
Am generally attracted to gentlemen between the ages of 18-30 yrs of ages who are of any race that are masculine, muscular/in shape, aggressive, dominate, yet very passionate in and out of bed. Gentlemen who are submissive and passive in the bed, but can also be aggressive if the need calls for it. Gentlemen into fantasy and role-playing, watching movies, and hot passionate sex. I am typically looking for someone that is very
, private and with no strings attached. Gentlemen who are usually looking to satisfy a longing or craving inside of them that nothing but the comfort of another woman can satisfy. He would be confident, mature, well spoken and enthusiastic about life. Gentlemen who have dreams, goals and are ambitious and are looking for ONE special. He would be spontaneous, sophisticated and love to have a good time. He's up for being out on the town one night and then curled up on the couch watching TV with a roaring fire and a glass of wine the next. If he enjoys a good martini and jazz even better. I am a big time romantic and he should be also. My ideal man would love life, looking at the glass half full instead of half empty and be ready to share that life with someone else. If you are the type of man that is mention above, and are looking for someone to have a strictly special relationship with a younger woman, no strings attached just a mutual consensual evening or time together, then please contact me if you are interested and I'm who your looking to meet.

A bit nippy in the front garden this morning so I took pity on my aoniums and brought the in to the conservatory for the winter. I started with one little cutting about six years ago.
My platycodons are still flowering beautifully and I just love the pentagon that is their bud, here on the left.
I got my aoniums in from the chilly front garden just before we had a shower of rain, but bright sunshine once again. The aoniums have done well after gracing the front garden all summer and now look good in the conservatory.
My friend brought me six bin bags full of daylilies so I have a big job ahead of me this week. He also helped me get my big table back into the conservatory which had to be taken out for the workmen coming so i can now prick out my six types of perennial that we had to sow late in August for the Nation of Gardeners trials for Mr. Fothergill's. Busy, busy, busy. Looks like a good gardening day if a bit chilly. the sun is shining and lots of blue sky. Listening to the weather forecast for the north and east I do think we are very lucky in Bristol weatherwise.
The week October sun shining on one of my black aoniums.
Remembered we are into October and the Botanic Garden closes on Saturdays, Fruitcake. Weather has been very wet and windy this mornig but clearing up now and the sun has arrived. My friend is bringing me his daylilies which have grown too big for his garden this afternoon so I hope to plant them this week while the soil is still warm.
Yes, Fruitcake. Open 10.30 to 4.30 every day. So many Bristolians do not know what they are missing. If you get caught in the rain head for the greenhouses. The sub tropical and tropical houses are very warm. Here is a picture of a banana flower and a new bunch of bananas I took last Thursday. Of course my lens was all steamed upin the heat.
Rudbeckias and heleniums at the Univ. of Bristol Bot. Garden last Thursday.
I am making a proper start on tidying the butterfly garden where I have thousands of snowdrops in several different species which at the moment I will not be able to see properly when they flower. Lots of pruning, weeding and path clearing needed. It will take me the rest of October to do There are lots of fallen apples as there is a huge Bramley apple tree there so I will be picking them up so apple crumble may be on the menu. I usually make three and freeze two. I am going to a dayschool on Garden Writing at the Botanic Garden one day this month sothat will be a day off to reinvigorate me.
Those cannas toned so well with the ginger plants in flower in the Univ. of Bristol Bot. Gdn.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) -- From Nick Saban and Steve Spurrier to Dennis Erickson, winning college coaches have long failed to translate their success to the next level.
Jim Harbaugh needed just one year to emphatically break that mold -- and he didn't even have to change his unique rah-rah style to transform the San Francisco 49ers (13-3) into a Super Bowl contender this season. They head into Saturday's home playoff game against Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints (14-3) as an underdog, just as he likes it.
Harbaugh has become the favorite for Coach of the Year by doing things his way from Day 1. He doesn't care about making friends in the NFL or being popular among his peers. He once said, "If the 49ers success offends you, so be it."

More than 2 million copies sold by Picador, more than 8 million around the world - now a film by Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings, Heavenly Creatures)
My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973. My murderer was a man from our neighborhood. My mother liked his border flowers, and my father talked to him once about fertilizer.
This is Susie Salmon. Watching from heaven, Susie sees her happy suburban family devastated by her death, isolated even from one another as they each try to cope with their terrible loss alone. Over the years, her friends and siblings grow up, fall in love, do all the things she never had the chance to do herself. But life is not quite finished with Susie yet . . .The Lovely Bones is a luminous and astonishing novel about life and death, forgiveness and vengeance, memory and forgetting - but, above all, about finding light in the darkest of places.
"A stunning achievement." (The New Yorker)
"A novel that is painfully fine and accomplished." (Los Angeles Times)
©2002 Alice Sebold; (P)2002 Recorded Books LLC
"Spare, beautiful and brutal prose . . . The Lovely Bones is compulsive enough to read in a single sitting, brilliantly intelligent, elegantly constructed and ultimately intriguing." (The Times)
I love all genres of books. However, when I listen to audio books as I clean, garden, drive they are better with a lot of heat!
Resisted this book for a long time, didn't want to read about a child being murdered. That said, I was surprisingly relieved that the story really does not focus on the actual event as much as it does about a family's struggle to survive and heal in the aftermath and the girl, though deceased, is very much present in a spiritual way.
"Way too long"
the story was enjoyable for the first three quarters of the book, but the last third just went on and on and on. 15 minutes describing the wet washing on the line or the organization of a vegetable patch. could have been 2 hours shorter.
Good start but then trailed off. Such a shame. The reader was good but she could not save the story from its disappointing conclusion.
"Fabulous Narration"
The narrator was absolutely brilliant, I will be looking for other books that she narrates, her intonations, the ability to clearly define the character voices made this an effortless, highly enjoyable listen. The fastest I have listened to a book yet!!
Tell us about yourself! I am a French woman and live in Paris. I love to read - I read almost EVERYTHING! I like also to speak English
"a roller coaster ride ....."
When we first meet Susie Salmon, she is already in heaven and tells us about her short life story on earth. How life was for her before being abruptly murdered. She looks down to us from this peaceful place called "Heaven" and carries readers through a journey that will end her life on earth. Susie Salmon was raped and murdered by her neighborhood, Mr. Harvey who is a sexual predator /killer serial.
The event is viewed and told from a dead girl's perspective, which makes this book unique and unusual.
The crime description is not unbearable. Susie bears a smart outlook on what has happened to her on earth. Readers are carried through the event at the same as Susie as she does the following days, months and years. Besides, Susie tells the story with a great sense of humor so we are not crying as we are experiencing how though is for her family to deal with her death.
This story is not just about the grief of those left behind, but also about Susie's coming to terms with her loss of life. Navigating through this book has been a roller-coaster ride. I truly recommend it for those of you who are looking for a funny, gloomy and great book to read.
"Good, but..."
The Lovely Bones is a nice, painful story. The last few chapters just dragged on. I don't think heaven was done justice in the description. I found it a bit too much having heaven depicted as a boring place and the souls of the dead feel bored there! Besides, what was the reason for the final chapters if it didn't lead to anything related to the murder?
"Could not put down"
A refreshing look at a crime novel.Ienjoyed every second of it. Excellent value for money
"Lovely book!"
I loved this book! Convincingly and sensitively read, the story haunted me for three days. I had to ration my listening - the temptation to complete the story in one session was very strong indeed. Never having \"read\" the book previously, I found the storyline startlingly emotive: charged with a childlike intensity yet delivered with a calm detachment which I found at once inspiring and unnerving. This is a story which requires very little suspension of one's disbelief. Though I found some of the final sections a little \"romantic\", I cannot, in all honesty, rate this super book at fewer than 5 stars.
"An unusual and moving book"
I first heard of this book when the recent film-version was discussed on the BBC's Front Row arts programme. The view was that the book was better and having now listened to the audio version I can see why: it's a book full of thoughts and feelings that would be difficult to depict visually. I find it hard to believe that a film could do justice to the complexity of the narrative and get over all the nuances of the writing. It's a well-written book that suits being narrated and the narrator of this version is excellent. My first impression, that this is a book aimed at teenage girls, was wrong: it has something to say to all ages as it encompasses first love, long-lasting love, marriage, loss of a loved one, the desire for revenge and the complex dynamic of family life when tragedy strikes. As it deals with rape and murder the story is harrowing at times but it is also a deeply moving and thought-provoking book that will remain in my mind for sometime.
"Unique, poignant and imaginative"
I enjoyed this book greatly, with one minor exception. The writing is emotive and poetically descriptive and the story is a touching portrayal of how a family may suffer the consequences of the loss of a loved one to a particularly brutal murder, narrated through the eyes of the victim.
The only place I felt it let itself down a bit was during an incident towards the closing chapters, involving a seconday character, Ruth. Without wanting to give anything away, I felt the introduction of the Incident allowerd for so much more with respect to closure and hapiness for the long-suffering family. Instead the author slumps to a bit of a selfish cliche with only a failed after-thought to helping the family.
The book closes nicely and I understand why it has been so well received and adapted for Hollywood. My gripe is a minor one in the context of an excellent, well-narrated book.
"I'm hooked...."
One of the best audiobooks I've listened to in a long time...and i've listened to hundreds. A haunting yet beautiful story superbly narrated...
I'm a couple of hours left to go and savouring every second.
If you're reading this don't even hesitate to download.
"Worth reading"
Interesting reading, a bit distressing at times and with some beautiful moments. Not my favourite audibook but worth reading.
"The Lovely Bones"
A beautiful story, well told and narrated. I enjoyed the film, but the book is even better.
"Really profound effect on me "
Enjoyed the book, did end a little quick for me and ending seemed rushed, but well worth a listen! ☺ excellent
This is my first Alice Sebold book and it will not be the last. The Lovely Bones is a most moving and memorable book which will stay with me for a long time.
"Very Great Read. You will enjoy it very much."
I enjoyed reading the book as well as listening to the audio edition at the same time.
When Suzie enters Ruth's body.
She made the story come alive.
I don't do emotional reactions.
"The Lovely Bones"
I would definitely listen to this book again, there will be no chance of me removing it from my library. It was a touching, entertaining and exciting book. If you have seen the film...the book is better!
I think the woman reading had a relatively mono tonal voice which was a little off putting, she seemed to lack energy.

it465 big bore 2stroke
Hi,I'm new to this site,would appreciate if you guys can help me around.so I sold my kdx200,bought a old it465 2stroke(said2be very powerful and grunty).took4ever2start,but once it came 2life it sounded good.didn't ride it,heard it could be crank seals,replaced them,BUT,the seals that came out was a double seal,and I only fitted single seals,what is the difference,and would this seals be as good as the double seals.what can I do 2make this big bore2stroke start easier,as u have 2jump on kickstarter coz compression is hectic.they say 3rd and 4th gear whEelys r common 4 a it465,I can't wait.would appreciate it if you guys can give me info/tips/comments on this ancient 2stroke.can't wait2hear from you guys.tnx
The one I used to ride was a hoot. However, starting it was a chore when cold. We always used starter fluid when it was cold. Once warm, it would fire right up. Make sure your plug is good and the correct one. Also make sure your air filter is clean. If you're worried about the crank seals, I would test them with propane or WD-40. Cool bike.
My IT490 was a bastard to start.
After re-jetting my YZ465 is 1-3 kick starter cold and 1 kick hot. Yamaha jets 'em really fat for some reason. It took replacing everything but the slide to get it there.
What are your jets now? What fuel/oil ratio are you running?
The big IT's were known to be hard to start. Lots of compression, and a big old piston. Kick it like a big-bore 4T; hard from TDC all the way through. No little dabs at the lever.
You have to kick like you mean it - my 84 IT 490 takes 3-4 kicks cold and typically 1 warmed up. Sometimes she can be stubborn but I just lean it over till gas pours from the overflow and then will usually fire first kick. Tons of fun but make sure you don't have any loose nuts, bolts, or fillings cause they'll vibrate out in no time!
Oh yeah... the mighty big bore 2-stroke yamahas.
I completed my '83 IT490 in the early fall. My bike was also initially hard to start. I had a couple of problems, first problem was a clogged pilot jet. The other problem was a leaking base gasket.
These bikes are noisy and I was unable to hear the base gasket leak while the bike was running. I noticed it when I was running my fingers around the base gasket area. With the bike running, I could feel leaking around the transfer port area on the left side. This is a fairly common problem. Consider using a factory Yamaha base gasket as it has a sealent round it that the aftermarket gaskets do not have. I checked the base of my cylinder for flatness and it was fine.
Once I fixed these problems I then spent some time jetting it. They come rich from the factory so blubber in the low to mid range area. The fix for me was to change the slide, the jet needle and the needle jet. Do not try and solve this by going too low on the main jet or you will ping. The main jet is ineffective in tuning the low end and mid range.
The stock slide is a 2.0. I replaced this with a yz slide which is a 3.0. The trick is then to file the slide to a 3.5 (no longer available). The slide modification can be found on the yahoo yz490 group. The needle I used is fatter towards the point, this makes it leaner on the bottom 1/3rd throttle. I tried pilot jets of 35, 37.5 and 40. It starts well with the 37.5 and 40. I have the 40 in it now. I think the yz465 came with pj=50.
I will post the jetting that worked for me tonight as I do not have that information now.
These are nice bikes once fully sorted. You get the jetting right and this bike will haul the mail.
I raced it in a hare scrambles (after 30 years away). I was kind of worried as it was a dead engine start. It fired 1st kick. Went from 5th or 6th at the start to 2nd within the 1st lap. And I started with a flat front tire!
There was a nice section coming out of the woods where you could really wack the throttle. Whoa momma!
But unfortunately I am an old man now and my conditioning is just not up to snuff (yet?). I wore myself out and was unable to finish! Figured I better stop before I hurt myself, didnt want to give my wife a reason to shut me down!
So yeah, keep working on it, these bikes can really kick some a$$:evil. Or at least it kicked my a$$!:eek1
Here is a link to some photos of mine as I worked to get it in shape. Have fun but dont hurt yourself!
Alright, here is current jetting for my '83 IT490 runnning a yz piston and a DG IT490 pipe.
Main jet= 380 (it pinged with a 370)
Pilot jet = 40
Jet needle = 6DH4 with clip in center position ( the standard needle an 6F8 needle did not work as well)
Needle jet = RO, 247 series (you must specify the series when ordering)
40:1 premix
The best place I found for ordering mikuni jets is from Pats small engine parts. They have good stock, ship fast and prices are low.
The standard carb slide is a 2.0. The YZ465 slide is a 3.0. You should at least try the 3.0 slide, I think this is important. A common modification is to open up the 3.0 slide to a 3.5. You can do this with a file if careful. Search the yz490 group of yahoo for details on how to do this.
I did the needle jet, jet needle and slide modification pretty much together. My bike ran much better with these jetting changes. It now pulls cleanly off the bottom end and hammers right to the top. It is also easy to start so long as you kick hard from the top of the stroke.
While I am here, I will offer an opinion of gearing. I found the stock 44 tooth rear sprocket too small for tight woods. I went to a 48 tooth and found this to be more suitable. I was still able to use the same chain with this change but not with a 50 tooth.
The 48 let me get through very tight areas without needing to clutch it to avoid a stall. These things do not have the lightest pull clutch in the world, so this helps save energy over a longer event. In fact, replace all the cables if they are not fresh. Also check and lube the brake actuators in the brake plate. You really want all the controls to work as smooth and as lightly as possible.
Good luck!
Did these bikes come in white? I have seen one, but I was wondering if white is an aftermarket color.
Nice bikes. I like to look at them, owning one is another matter. I do have a 85' XT600 though. I had a 1978 DT 125 growing up. I remember that thing had a huge flat spot in the midrange.
I heard the IT 200 is a pretty sweet bike too.
The '81 model came in white. I have two of them I am combining into one running IT465. I prefer the blue color but the white is a nice clean bike when the plastic is spiffed up.
I have a new piston in a rebuilt top end and lots of new cables and other parts. Just need to clean up the frame, paint it, and put it all back together.
My good friend Agitator took the tranny apart several years ago, promising to put it back together when I had installed all new bearings and seals. I rudely moved from New England to New Mexico and he doesn't want to fly in for a weekend to put it all back together. I have not reassembled a tranny like this before so when I get to that point I will seek the chiding and snickering and good advice of all here to help me.
Thank you for keeping this exact 2 stroke thread alive. The IT is the only 2 stroke I have ever owned so you guys have the wisdom I lack.
Lemme dig up my YZ manual. Maybe I can scan it for ya. It's no less or more difficult than any other transmission. I'll get back tomorrow.
I didn't forget you my scanner is a POS. Lemme work on it some more tomorrow.
Well it's still a POS. I could copy the needed pages and send 'em off to ya via snail mail. lemme know...............

When the spring weather breaks I always volunteer to work at the local petty farm. We get everything cleaned up from the winter months to reopen for spring and summer, the admission prices and activities keep the place running. The children always are amazed when they watch the sheep get sheared for the hot weather, by the way the shearer is an attractive Chester escorts female!
This summertime event is a blast and the children can get their face painted for a very low price. The farms farrier will show the proper procedures on how you can trim a horses hooves. He will explain to all of the children how important it is for a horse to have healthy hooves. They always have plenty of refreshments available for sale from drinks to meals. There are many arts and crafts booths to stop and make a memorable craft to take home with you. I never miss a moment at the local petting farm!

Thanks Glen I appreciate the information. I feel quire sure there are plenty of like minded people here in Nashville. It just that a lot of people in the Bible Belt are hesitant to openly admit their thoughts.

Mason Pine hotel to hydro-electric dam and back
Today was the first real good day. We went back to the main road from last night. It looked like it woudl have been a beautiful drive in the daylight and I still wanted to see the bridge. The sun was shining, the road was smooth and there was little traffic. Views were beautiful.
The bridge ended up being a large hydroelectric dam. Pretty cool sight.
On the way back we ran in to traffic in the city again. All are equal on Indonesia's slow moving streets. The horse goes as fast as your car. And overheats less :)
It rained in the evening (as it always does) and I helped some frogs to fall in our giant pool. Awesome watching them swim in clear water.
Everyone moves at the same speed in city traffic. And it's probably more comfortable on the horse than the bike.
Corn spread out on the street to dry.
Great driving today
Actually I'm rolling down this hill backwards!

usually a stutter that low (does it go guh/guh/guh then recover instantly and rev fine. like it makes a stutter noise (but not a bog/power loss) when you just ride it with throttle barely cracked open?) is USUALLY a pilot/slide transition issue. or maybe slide/needle transition. what's happening is the slide cutaway is too rich compared to the needle and pilot. the only real way to get rid of it is to go with a leaner slide. that might get rid of the stutter, BUT you may suffer powerwise...(i just went through this on a another bike. replaced slide with leaner cutaway, bike reved and sounded awesome on the stand, but under load it bogged out bad - the bike needed the richer slide to make power in that crucial spot.... i would not recommend changing the slide. you can either lean/richen the pilot out 1 step, or richen/lean the needle 1 step. that may fix it (not sure which way you need to go...) or maybe playing with the airscrew a bit more will get rid of it... the problem with any of these fixes is it may affect how it idles, and ultimately how easy it is to start.......
you really should pick a premix mixture and stick with it. fix jetting with brass, not liquid...

|This release is hardly the first time that Spock's Beard have provided a live album; in fact, they have provided several others, which is impressive when you consider that so many artists never offer any live albums at all. This one was released as both a two-CD set and a single DVD, although the same songs are heard on both the audio CD and DVD versions; there are no songs that are included on one but omitted from the other. Spock's Beard are in very good form on Live, which documents a 2007 show in Holland and offers a healthy combination of material from the 1990s and 2000s. Band songs from the 21st century are not neglected, but longtime fans will be glad to know that Spock's Beard perform a lot of 1990s favorites -- including "The Water" and "Go the Way You Go" (which are united as a medley) as well as "In the Mouth of Madness" and "Crack the Big Sky." The interesting thing is that most fans of Spock's Beard are not old enough to have vivid memories of progressive rock's 1970s heyday; Spock's Beard is a Gen-X band that has a predominantly Gen-X and Gen-Y following but favors a sound that is firmly rooted in the baby boomer era. The performances on Live are not the least bit ironic; this is a band that got started in 1992 at the height of the Nirvana/Pearl Jam/grunge explosion but has appealed to a Gen-X/Gen-Y audience by taking its Yes/Genesis/ELP/King Crimson heritage quite seriously. Spock's Beard have a reputation for being one of the more consistent and reliable neo-prog bands of the 1990s and 2000s, and this live double-CD/DVD release -- although not quite essential -- does nothing to endanger that reputation. ~ Alex Henderson

If you haven't had a chance to get Menachem Wecker's and my book, Consider No Evil: Two Faith Traditions and the Problem of Academic Freedom in Religious Higher Education (Cascade Books, 2014), but are interested reading a sample, then you're in luck. Below you'll find an excerpt from the book (chapter one).
Both of our first chapters are memoir and help to set up the more analytical side of the following chapters. My story stops at my time as a professor of the history of Christianity and religious studies at Winebrenner Theological Seminary, which I left last July (more on that here). I'm currently teaching at The University of Findlay.
The "Table of Contents" is included in the PDF. So if you're interested in academic freedom in religious higher education, then click the book cover below and enjoy! And if you want to read the rest, see Amazon where it's available in hardcover, paperback, and for Kindle.

Attention: Real Man Wanted!!!!
I'm spontenous, warm hearted and a woman who knows what she wants. I know how to treat a man well as long as the same is reciprocated. I hope one of you can handle me. I'm not your average woman guys. I'm looking for a man who can communicate with me, warm hearted and understanding. Honestly someone who's going to be there for me and not flake out. If we can reach a higher goal of companionship, then all of this will be worth it. I'm very simplestic in what pleases me in life. All I want is to be treated with respect and compassion. Without judgement,and ultimately a union of the mind with someone I care about and who cares for me. Hopefully there is someone out there who can be that companion, that mate and friend to me.

Spit-Roasted Leg Of Pork
|2 Cup (32 tbs)
|Dry white wine
|3⁄4 Cup (12 tbs)
|Soy sauce
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|Salad oil
|2 Tablespoon
|Chopped onion
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|1 Clove (5 gm), minced or pressed
|Ground ginger
|1 Teaspoon
|Pork leg
|12 Pound, boned and rolled (1 leg)
Combine 1 cup of the applesauce with wine, soy, oil, onion, garlic, and ginger.
Put roast into a large plastic bag, pour in marinade, and twist-tie bag closed.
Refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours or until next day.
Arrange enough low-glowing coals to form a solid rectangular bed about 6 inches across and extending 3 to 4 inches beyond ends of meat
Coals should be about 2 inches behind an imaginary wall extending from spit to firebed.
Place metal drip pan directly beneath and in front of spit.
Lift meat from marinade and drain briefly (reserve marinade).
Run spit through exact center of roast the weight of the roast must be evenly distributed around the spit or it will drag against the motor.
Insert spit forks and tighten with pliers; position spit on barbecue and start motor.
Cook, basting occasionally during the last hour with reserved marinade, for about 6 hours or until meat thermometer inserted in thickest portion but not touching spit registers 170°.
Every 1/2 hour add 5 or 6 briquets to fire, spacing them evenly, to maintain a constant temperature.
Combine remaining marinade with remaining applesauce and heat as sauce.

| OpenSeasonFanGirl5000 chapter 1 . 12/14/2009
DAW! It's so cute! Lem and Neera's first date together! I always did had a hunch that Neera only like Glar as a friend (He did seem a little bit too stupid to be dating anyone from the movie, even if it had to be her) but I like it. I think you're one of the first people to be writing something about Lem/Neera while the others are writing about Chuck/Lem, but it's a good change. It's something new that we get to see here. Good job! I love it! 5 stars!

"You want a romantic boat ride? 40 Euros! 40 Euros for a beautiful boat ride around the lake!" the man yelled to us as we walked along Lake Garda to the entrance of Sirmione. You'll find one of these men, usually young, handsome and enviously tanned, stationed every few feet, trying to tempt vacationers entering or exiting Sirmione's historic center.
Sirmione is just one of the many historic towns situated along Lake Garda, Italy's largest lake and a prime vacation spot for Italians and other Europeans. The lake itself already provides ample recreational options, boating and sunbathing being the favorite activities, but what really sets Lake Garda apart are the towns, many of which date back to before Roman times, that line up one by one along the lake. Each town offers visitors everything needed for an quintessential summer Italian vacation: winding cobblestone streets full of family-owned shops, ancient stone buildings covered in ivy and bougainvilleas, eateries with inviting terraces and, of course, gelaterias.
Scaliger Castle
Sirmione, located at the top of a peninsula at the southern end of Lake Garda, has the added benefit of a castle. The 13th-century Scaliger castle was a major point of defense for the Lake Garda area against invasions from the south. Visitors walk over the castle's moat, stopping to stare at the swans and ducks swimming below, and past its gates to get to Sirmione's historic center. For a small entrance fee (4 euros), you can go into the castle and walk up 150 steps to get to the castle's tower for a lovely view of Sirmione and the lake.
Pizza, Paninis and Gelato
During the peak summer tourist season, the historic center is full of vacationers eating, drinking, shopping and simply strolling around. Very soon you'll want to join the every third or fourth person greedily licking a gelato cone. Gelaterais, lined up in a row right in the center, offer mounds of gelato in flavors hard to find anywhere here in the United States. Order two to three flavors in a cup or cone to maximize your taste buds. Typical of popular tourist towns, Sirmione is full of overpriced restaurants serving mediocre food to people just happy to sit out in the sun but it also has plenty of places selling cheap slices of pizzas (3 euros) and sandwiches. Grab your pizza or sandwich and walk north to the beach. It's a rocky beach so unless you have a towel you won't want to lie out but it's great for swimming. The beach path goes all the way to the tip of the peninsula.
Caves of Catullo
At the tip you'll find the Caves of Catullo, an archeological ruin surrounded by olive trees that is the remains of a huge Roman villa. A museum there features Roman artifacts evacuated from around the area.
Boat Ride
If you do find that you're not able to resist the lure of a boat ride, find the one captained by Virgilio Bertoldi. He's currently 85 years old and doesn't speak much English but he'll turn on some Italian opera recordings and show you plaques with summaries and close-up pictures of the sights you're seeing from the boat. Famous people that he's taken around include Winston Churchill, Maria Callas (who had a villa in Sirmione) and Laurence Oliver.
Getting there: Sirmione can be fully enjoyed in a day or even half a day if you're heading on to the other Lake Garda towns such as Peschiera del Garda and Bardolino. The best way to get to Sirmione, and Lake Garda in general, is by car. It's between Milan and Verona, right off the A4/E70 motorway. Park in the large lot right outside the castle. The only cars allowed in the city center are taxis and those staying in a hotel in the center. By rail, you can take the train to Peschiera or Desenzano train station and then a taxi to Sirmione.

John Loving Iii
Today I took all of Aprils
pictures down
I placed them in an album
so their still safe and sound
But gone are the images
of which visitors would ask
And my answer "My April"
now part of my past
Placed to rest benieth
transparent pages
Motionless, voiceless and now ageless
I would wear April
with pictures of her faces
I kissed her pictures
on a regular basis
But it's time to depart
from my wanted wife
A short lived dream
in my so called life
I played house with something
less than a ghost
It was the best that I could do
besides compleatly lossing hope

How do y'all handle religious holidays that are mainstream like Christmas and Easter with your kids? We are split in our house, DH is a pretty solid Atheist, and I'm the type of Agnostic that wants to be every religion at once on some days, and nothing at all on others... However, I love holidays and DH has agreed that he doesn't want to take something away from our kids like christmas. (We are preggers with our first) This last year we compromised with a christmas tree that touched the ceiling and topped it with a colander. And, I personally love the nonsensical way that easter works- a giant bunny hides eggs and everyone gets to dress up in party clothes and find them?? Could that be anymore Alice in wonderland if it tried??
How do y'all handle traditions? When do you explain why other people celebrate the holiday? How do you explain why you celebrate the holiday? Do they even ask? How do you change things up?

Middle of the Road
Restaurants like Las Brisas and Los Ranchos. A wide variety of movies and music. The outdoors. Physical exercise. My family and friends.
Since I love to travel, my favorite places are all over. Colombia, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Germany, Spain and France top my list so far. I'd like to see Greece, Italy, and China next, especially with the right person.
When the weather is nice, I like taking a walk or exploring close to home. I also enjoy listening to music, watching both the Discovery and History channels, and spending time with friends.

"That was an act of war. He should be treated as a prisoner of war. He should be held in a military brig, Lieberman said. "He should be questioned now and should have been ever since he was apprehended for intelligence that could help us stop the next attack or get the people in Yemen who directed him to do what he did, so, yes, we -- we should follow the rule of law, but the rule of law that is relevant here is the rule of the law of war."
Brennan defended Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano who last week initially assured the public that security systems are working as designed, saying "the system works."
"I think Secretary Napolitano clarified her remarks about the system working or not. I have been able to work with Secretary Napolitano the last 11 months, and I consider that we as a nation are very fortunate to have somebody of Secretary Napolitano's caliber, experience, and dedication," he said.
The top Republican on the Senate Homeland Security Committee characterized Napolitano's initial comments after the Christmas Day terror attempt as "bizarre."
"I will say that her initial comments were bizarre and inappropriate. It baffled me that she said that the system worked very, very smoothly, when clearly it did not. It also surprised me when she implied that there was not information to indicate that this individual posed a threat when there was information," said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, today on "This Week."
But Collins said Napolitano continues to have her support as Secretary of Homeland Security.
Lieberman said the Senate Homeland Security Committee will begin "a series of hearings" when Congress returns in a few weeks to examine "where we are five years after the 9/11 Commission reforms went into effect, seven years after the Department of Homeland Security went into effect."
"We're not out to protect anybody or attack anybody," Lieberman said on "This Week."
"We're out to fix what went wrong on Dec. 25 and to note that, in this year, last year, 2009, our homeland -- there were -- there were more than a dozen attempts to attack our homeland, and three of them broke through," he said.
"So it's time to take a fresh, nonpartisan look, not to knock down the Department of Homeland Security or the 9/11 reforms, but, frankly, to fix and build them up so we learn from our mistakes and we're more secure in the future," Lieberman said.
