His Fair Assassin Trilogy #01: Grave Mercyby Robin Lafevers
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Why be the sheep, when you can be the wolf?
Seventeen-year-old Ismae escapes from the brutality of an arranged marriage into the sanctuary of the convent of St. Mortain, where the sisters still serve the gods of old. Here she learns that the god of Death Himself has blessed her with dangerous gifts — and a violent destiny. If she chooses to stay at the convent, she will be trained as an assassin and serve as a handmaiden to Death. To claim her new life, she must destroy the lives of others.
Ismaes most important assignment takes her straight into the high court of Brittany — where she finds herself woefully under prepared — not only for the deadly games of intrigue and treason, but for the impossible choices she must make. For how can she deliver Deaths vengeance upon a target who, against her will, has stolen her heart?
A Kirkus Best Teen Book of 2012
"With characters that will inspire the imagination, a plot that nods to history while defying accuracy, and a love story that promises more in the second book, this is sure to attract feminist readers and romantics alike."--Booklist, starred review
"Fiction and history coalesce in a rich, ripping tale of assassinations, political intrigue and religion in 15th-century Brittany. ...LaFevers ambitious tapestry includes poison and treason and murder, valor and honor and slow love, suspense and sexuality and mercy. A page-turner--with grace." --Kirkus, starred review
"Rich in historical detail, well-realized characters, political machinations, and enticingly prickly scenes between Ismae and Duval, LaFevers's complex tale incorporates magic both sparingly and subtly. This powerful first volume of the His Fair Assassin series should attract many readers."--Publishers Weekly, starred review
"The book is well written and filled with fascinating, complex characters who function realistically in this invented medieval world."--School Library Journal,
"Readers will immediately warm to Ismae's determination to think for herself despite the powerfl influences of multiple others."--Bulletin
"LaFevers is an artful storyteller who has created a strong lead character....The tale is one of scheming nobles, political subterfuge, murder, and romance—all of the best aspects of a good read. And like any good mystery, the plot is unpredictable." --VOYA
Seventeen-year-old Ismae escapes a brutal arranged marriage into the sanctuary of the convent of assassins - for a price. Packed with love, magic, and deadly games of courtly intrigue and treason, this first book of a fast-paced YA trilogy set in 15th-century France combines romance with captivating action.
About the Author
R. L. LaFevers (Robin Lorraine when shes in really big trouble) has been fascinated by libraries and museums ever since she first set foot in one. When shes not gazing longingly at ancient artifacts or wallowing in old forgotten texts, shes busy trying to keep one step ahead of her two teenage sons. She lives with the aforementioned sons, her husband, and a demonic cat in Southern California.

But on another level, Structure and Surface represents a stage in the gradual redefinition of ³ art. ² Textiles, furniture, tools and other functional objects have traditionally been shoved off to the margins in art museums (to see the St. Louis Art Museum ¹ s furniture collection, for example, you have to descend to the basement). These objects have been marginalized in art history as well, included among the ³ minor arts ² or designated ³ design, ² never given the chance to be considered for their ingenuity in quite the same way that fine art is.
This situation has been changing, particularly in the last 30 years. It really began with feminist artists, who challenged the gendered distinction between fine art and crafts and helped bring about a reconsideration of such media as ceramics and fibers. Exhibitions like the current Innovations in Textile Art reap the benefits of this redefinition of art. The citywide show includes brilliant artworks that give an idea of the range of media and techniques fiber artists are using today.
But Structure and Surface stands slightly apart from the other exhibitions that are part of Innovations in Textile Art. What distinguishes it is the connection to industry. These textiles are the result of collaboration between artists and scientists, often working in conjunction with industries that will mass-produce the materials for use in manufacturing, fashion or interior design, even the fishing industry. That such utilitarian material can also be exhibited as art is the real revelation of this show.
Structure and Surface was curated by Matilda McQuaid of the Museum of Modern Art in New York and Cara McCarty of the St. Louis Art Museum. McQuaid and McCarty made several trips to regions of Japan where the most experimental textile work in the world is being conducted. They brought back dozens of bolts and samples of textiles that are visually dazzling, defying simple description. Some are made with the use of processes so complicated that the developers can only discuss them in terms of chemical equations.
But as scientifically sophisticated as the processes are, the inspiration behind the textiles are often simple, natural forms. Junichi Arai ¹ s ³ Moon Light ² and ³ Deep Sea ² are incredible textile renditions of natural light and color, but they ¹ re made of materials like polyester, nylon and aluminum, which are commonly associated with the artificial.
If this exhibition does nothing else, it will cause you to question associations like these. Polyester, that stigmatized, cheesy leisure-suit fabric, is the star of this exhibition the artists simply work magic with it, using its glossiness and elasticity to great visual effect. The exhibition includes an entire wall full of polyester pieces by Inoue Pleats Co., each pleated to produce luscious sculptural effects.
Other unexpected materials used in these textiles include copper, carbon fiber and silicone. Artist Sheila Hicks, working in conjunction with Bridgestone Metalpha Corp. (a spinoff of the tire giant), developed Alphatex, a flexible fiber made of stainless steel. Strands of the fiber are heavy and lustrous, with metallic colors achieved through the use of acid and heat processes.
The most fascinating pieces in the show are the technical textiles that incorporate industrial materials and processes. A favorite is Triaxial Fabric, developed by Sakase Adtech Co., a gorgeous piece of woven carbon fiber that uses a textile structure developed by NASA in the 1960s for use in aeronautics. Triaxial Fabric is used in consumer products like golf-club shafts, so it ¹ s normally hidden away and out of sight. In this exhibition we get the unique opportunity to appreciate the visual beauty of something otherwise valued solely for its function.
In most of the pieces, the artists have combined the traditional and the progressive in terms of both material and technique. A great example of this is Arai ¹ s ³ Charred Fabric, ² which combines nylon film, aluminum, wool and nylon filament. The material is ³ melted off ² through the use of a technique Arai himself developed to dissolve the metallic fiber in the film, leaving behind a transparent cloth. It is then dyed with the traditional Japanese technique of shibori, in which parts of the material are shaped and secured before dyeing. The result is a densely textured black material that sparkles on the surface.
Amazingly, many of the subtle and delicate materials in the exhibition are made with very aggressive processes burning, twisting, pleating and stretching among them. Rather than destroy the materials, these processes transform them into fascinating textured, sculptural pieces, evocative of natural and artificial forms. Yuh Okano ¹ s ³ Epidermis (Ocean) ² is covered by mushroomlike elements made by wrapping the polyester fabric around beads and heat-setting it to retain the shapes. And Reiko Sudo uses flash-heating to stretch fabric into blistered shapes similar to plastic bubble packing.

Life is uncertain, eat dessert first!
I just moved to the Seattle area about five years ago now. I figured I would see who else is in this great city! I guess I'm looking for someone who likes to have a good time, enjoys the outdoors, staying active, experience new things in life, and she should be able to take jokes as well as give them right back :) I think I am a very easy person to get along with... I love staying active! Started training w/ Russian Kettlebells. Soccer is the other love of my life. I've played all my life and still do, although I am slowing down the playing and focusing more on reffing. I love to travel - I have been to Ecuador, Ireland and of course, Mexico. Domestically, I have really enjoyed the east coast on the couple trips I have taken out that direction! Boston, D.C. and Austin are a couple of my favorite cities...NYC, Chicago, Denver, San Francisco, L.A. are all fun too. Vegas is always a good time, although I spent six months there for work so it has lost its "luster" for me. From my work travels, I also have a "places to avoid" list, but I'll save that for another discussion :) Other than that, I enjoy just hanging out with friends, trying out new beers...the usual. I'm staying pretty busy right now between work and reffing. That's a little bit about me - if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

I pretty much enjoy doing anything active. Being outdoors, playing soccer, golf, hiking, climbing, boating, skiing. But also enjoy relaxing and watching a good movie when appropriate :) I have a pretty extensive collection that is always growing.
I have a few going right now...having trouble finding time to finish anything. I just started reading Steve Jobs' autobiography and The Paleo Diet for Athletes :) But the last couple before that were Freakonomics and Super Freakonomics.

Not everyone knows how to read, write or speak English fluently. For some people, it's a challenge so they continue to strive and look for ways to gain more knowledge about the English language. If you are someone who wants to improve your grammar, then you can try out this free English language learning app for Android called "Grammar Nazi".
What Is It and What Does It Do
Main Functionality
Grammar Nazi is a free English language learning app for Android. It helps you correct grammatical errors and learn proper English while you read. What this app does is that it automatically modifies the content of the text that you're reading. It basically adds random grammatical errors to your text so it's up to you to correct those errors as you read. Just tap the wrong word to replace it with the correct word and that's it. In addition, the app also uses a scoring system to monitor your progress.
- Simple and easy to use
- Stable and responsive interface
- You can load and add your own text files to its library
- Randomly adds grammatical errors to text
- You can learn proper English grammar while you read
- Customizable preferences such as changing the font size as well as the maximum number of lines shown per level or page
- Users can earn scores as well as track and evaluate their own progress
- Needs further improvement in terms of the following aspects:
- Graphics and UI – such as the reading layout, paragraph formatting, etc.
- Scoring system
- Supported file formats (the current version only supports text files)
Grammar Nazi can be considered as a game app that focuses on the English language but what's more important is that it helps you learn proper English grammar while you read your favorite e-books and novels. To put it simply, using this app is like hitting two birds in one stone.
The way how this app works is also very simple. As you can see on its main interface, there are different options. To add a text file to your library, you need to choose "Import". After which, you can check the "Library" to see if there are any available text files. To load a text file, just select the entry title (ex. The Lost World) and it will be automatically loaded.
Do keep in mind that with this app, every book or text page is treated as a game level. So page one is level one, page two is level two and so on. For every level, you need to correct those randomly generated grammatical errors and your score will be based on your total number of correct answers per level. Now, if you want to monitor your overall progress, just select "Score" from the main options. There, you'll be able to see your overall progress in different areas such as the pronouns, tenses, articles and prepositions. If you want to continue playing or reading, just select "Continue". The app will automatically remember the last page that you've read. It's that simple.
All in all, Grammar Nazi is a fun and useful app that can definitely help those who wish to learn proper English. It's mainly focused on helping you improve your grammar. Functionality wise, the app does what it is intended to do without any notable glitches or errors. It is also very stable and responsive.
It's just that with its current version, the app can still be improved in many ways. It would also be great if it can incorporate the ability to correct misspelled words. As for its scoring system, it's okay but could definitely use some additional perks like achievement points and milestone badges. It would also be great if it gets to add support for other type formats such as PDFs and DOCs. Other than this, the app also needs to improve its graphics and UI design.
Conclusion and Download Link
Grammar Nazi may fall short in certain aspects but it's definitely a good app for those who simply wish to improve the way how they write or speak English. The app is also simple enough for anyone to comprehend. It makes you learn and improve your grammar while you read. You will also know your good and bad points by evaluating your progress through its standard scoring system. So go ahead and check it out.

There are certain points when words become opposite of their meaning. Because of comments 1-3 we can now proudly add "sensitive" and "ignorance" to that list. The term "grammar nazi" is nowadays commonly known and used. Being over sensitive and trying to connect it to nazis of WWII is not only ignorant, but childish, rude and stupid thing to do. The term is not describing everything nazi's did in WWII, but the forceful imposing of one's will against to something seen their part as wrong grammar! There are no "word camps" or similarities to WWII events.
I could do this dissection to all 3 first comments, but hopefully one will suffice.
Notice, how I said "stupid THING to do", instead of blaming a person like you did? Yeah, that would be childish.
Oh, developer may or may not know what nazi means, but that's irrelevant. Making such statement? Prejudice.
You apparently don't know the meaning of the term "grammar nazi". That's ignorance.
All people are ignorant about something. Some more, some less. Politely pointing it out is all right, but being hostile just shows your own ignorance and intolerance. Certain amount of sensitivity is a good thing. But like everything else, the excessive amount of it turns it sour. Seeing something offensive too easily makes you over sensitive. If you ever find yourself searching something you can be offended, you're not sensitive. You just enjoy being offended about everything and having martyr complex.
Some days I wonder why this current fashion of getting offended about everything has gone so far over the top.
[@Mark Borin] [@Mark Borin] [@Mark Borin]
Don't blame this guy.
It's initially the idiot developer who don't even know what nazi means!
Mark Borin
The developer of the app called "Grammar Nazi" is either extremely ignorant or insensitive to what the name "Nazi" is associated with. The Nazis were directly responsible for starting World War 2, and the murder of millions of innocent people. Their legacy of hate persists to this day and is perpetuated by people who are ignorant, intolerant and evil. I am truly disappointed and dismayed that you would choose to promote anything containing the name "Nazi". I am hoping that it it is only because that you are young and not aware of the horrible connotation that the name "Nazi" represents. I am confident that you will do the right thing and remove the "Grammar Nazi" app from your recommended apps.
Donny Golden
I don't understand how you can recommend an app with that name.
Without relating to the quality of the app, I don't understand why the developer would want to use a term that is identified with the most despicable political system responsible for genocide an unimaginable suffering.
Next time be a bit more sensitive.

Haas admits he's running for the seat Bill Clay held for 32 years partly to take votes away from opponents of Bill's son, Lacy, in the hope that when Haas runs for mayor for the third time, in March 2001, Clay backers will support him. Lacy Clay must wish the rest of his rivals for his father's office had such alternative, far-fetched motives.
Charlie Dooley, who in 1994 became the first African-American elected to the St. Louis County Council, poses the biggest threat to Lacy Clay's succession to the congressional seat held by his father. Dooley, who retired last year after working for McDonnell Douglas Corp. for 30 years, also served as mayor of Northwoods for 12 years. His base is the suburbs, where two-thirds of the 1st District's residents live and where County Executive Buzz Westfall supports him. According to the latest filings, Clay has raised $358,018 and Dooley has raised $243,728. Donations from political-action committees account for 42 percent of Clay's money; Dooley has a lot of contributions from construction and development interests.
Lacy Clay has held office for 17 years in the state Legislature, but this is the first time he's run for a truly contested seat. He was appointed in 1983 as the Democratic Party candidate to replace retiring state Rep. Nathaniel Rivers, and he was appointed in 1991 as the Democratic candidate for a state Senate seat after Bill Clay helped create a vacancy by finding a $100,000-a-year job for state Sen. John Bass working for a federal subcommittee.
The elder Clay, when he was elected in 1968, was one of the founding members of the Congressional Black Caucus. Bill Clay was a trailblazer, a liberal ideologue always ready and willing to supply an acerbic retort to the latest Republican stance. In 1998, the American Civil Liberties Union gave Bill Clay a score of 95 percent on the basis of his voting record; on the American Conservative Union's scorecard, he got 5 percent.
Bill Clay had a great run, but the primary election on Aug. 8 will be the first electoral evidence of how far the acorn, Lacy Clay, may have fallen from the tree.
Dooley's campaign billboards are topped with this bit of news: "Congressman Bill Clay is retiring." Around the 1st District, there's evidence to the contrary. At bus-stop shelters, poster-size ads show a photo of the U.S. Capitol, with "CLAY" superimposed in large letters and "Democrat for Congress" below. The name "Lacy" is nowhere in sight; in the fine print, a "clayjrforcongress" Web site is mentioned, but that's it. Lawn signs and cardboard signs stapled on buildings go further, with the "Clay Jr. for Congress" line so small you have to hold the sign in your hand to read it.
Dooley insists he's not running against Bill Clay, but it's unclear how much of the populace knows that. Ken Warren, a St. Louis University political-science professor who worked with Bill Clay on an upcoming biography, believes not everyone is paying attention. "There's going to be a lot of people who are going to vote for Clay and not even know it's Clay Jr. That's how ignorant people are; they don't follow politics," says Warren. "It's sad but true: Americans don't follow politics very well."
That said, Warren doesn't see the political inheritance of an office as an uncommon event. "This is done all the time, whether it's a Symington in Missouri or a Kennedy in Massachusetts, a Brown in California or a Rockefeller -- it's done all the time," says Warren of incumbents who step down but keep their offices in the family. "George Wallace did it with his wife in Alabama."
In addition to 52-year-old Dooley, a colorful and high-profile -- though long-shot -- field includes attorney and activist Eric Vickers, 47; city school-board member Haas, 55; attorney Steven Bailey, 42; and Joe Mondrak, 51. Dooley, for one, doesn't want to talk about Bill Clay, for good or for ill.
"I'm not running against Bill Clay. I'm running for an open seat in the 1st Congressional District. People have to understand that Bill Clay is not going to be there. People need to wake up to that fact," says Dooley.
With an apparent lack of drastic differences on issues, Dooley is focusing on Clay's personal business dealings and indirectly questioning his judgment.
Foremost in this strategy is Clay's past business involvement with Dino Rodwell and Calvin Rodwell, two brothers who in June were indicted in Atlanta for Medicare fraud in a scheme that, federal authorities charge, bilked $626,000 from a Georgia nursing home. Dino Rodwell is the owner of ARG Associates Inc., which is based in Maryland and did business in Georgia. The Rodwell brothers also owned 80 percent of ARG Medical of Missouri Inc.; Lacy Clay owned the other 20 percent. Clay says he first met Calvin Rodwell about 20 years ago when Clay was an assistant doorkeeper in the House of Representatives and Rodwell was a page.

You have claimed some exemptions on your income or investments, but most of these are allowed if you fulfill certain conditions or rules. If these are not fulfilled, you could lose the exemptions.
For instance, if a taxpayer does not fulfil the criteria laid down for allowing exemption/deduction, then the exemption already allowed shall be withdrawn. In such cases, it is the taxpayer's duty to report the withdrawal of exemption in the tax return and pay the requisite taxes as applicable, says Vineet Agarwal, director, KPMG India.
Therefore, it is important to know what these conditions are.
In case the income-tax department issues you a notice for 'tax evasion', the penalty could be severe, says Sanjeev Gokhale, a Mumbai-based chartered accountant.
"You could be levied a penalty which can be 100-300 per cent of the amount evaded. Even if you say you were not aware of the exemption being reversed, it will not be accepted. Ignorance of law is not a justification for tax evasion."
Following are the 7 instances under which these exemptions could be withdrawn:

The Maritime Park's governing board has offered to repay a $500,000 loan to the city's Community Redevelopment Agency on a 20-year, zero percent interest plan.
- Filed Under
The Community Maritime Park's cash-strapped governing board is offering to pony up on a $500,000 loan originally due in January to the city's Community Redevelopment Agency in the form of a 20-year, zero percent interest repayment plan.
For the foreseeable future, taxpayers are subsidizing the Community Maritime Park Associates board's operations, meaning the board lacks the immediate cash to pay back the $500,000. That money was used to enhance the park's amphitheater as the $58 million park neared completion in late 2011.
The loan was originally due in full in January, and in December ...

City holds off on water switch
CORPUS CHRISTI - The city's switch to straight chlorine treated water isn't expected for at least another day, officials said Monday.
From July 20 until late Thursday residents in various parts of the city were advised to boil water to ensure its safe use in drinking, cooking or making ice. Continued testing has revealed no elevated levels of bacteria.
To address the situation caused by lower levels of disinfectant in the water, the city plans to switch from a chlorine/ammonia blend of disinfectant to a straight chlorine blend.
That could cause a stronger chlorine smell and a pink tint, but officials assure it will be safe to drink.
City water superintendent Eduardo Garaña said the city received formal approval from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to switch to the chlorine disinfectant.
Assistant City Manager Ron Massey said water customers who filter it for their own uses, like refineries and health care industries, needed time to adjust to the different disinfectant.
"We have to make sure that anyone who might have to do something different has had time to prepare for it," he said.
Massey said the city has been injecting chlorine into the water at the pump station in Padre Island, after it leaves the treatment plant. That started last Wednesday as a temporary measure to get the disinfectant levels up and get that area out of a boil-water advisory. At the same time, disinfectant levels were increasing at the Calallen treatment plant. Water from the plant takes some time, as much as a week, to get to users on the barrier island.
Massey said island users with more chlorine in their water have not had any pink water.
The city plans to use the chlorine disinfectant for about 30 to 45 days.
Water engineers have been hired to review and analyze what led to the lower levels of disinfectant and the boil-water advisory.
Preliminary information pointed to nitrification in the water system which can result in decreases in disinfectant and increases in bacteria levels.
Nitrification occurs when ammonia turns to nitrate. Causes of nitrification include presence of ammonia, low disinfectant levels, low chlorine-to-ammonia ratios, high water temperatures and old water.
Officials said the design of water storage tanks at the Holly Road pump station and less water use because of recent heavy rains also likely played a role.
The city is considering a way to adjust the level of chlorine blend disinfectant at a point after the water leaves the treatment plan, said Garaña.
That could help keep disinfectant levels at the right level as water passes through the system, he said.
Some water customers have indicated they'd like a refund on their water fees because of the boil-water advisory, but Massey said the city hasn't considered anything like that yet.

Help on Cast Shadow
Hi guys! I've finally decided to create an account here so I can get some feedback on my WIPs.
Here's a piece I'm currently working on. Any other constructive crits are welcome but my main issue is the shadow being cast by the mountain in the foreground on the huge red dragon. Something's wrong with it but can't quite figure it out. A paint-over would be nice. Thanks!

Plot out your shadow and light patterns much, much more simply. And small. You have decent separation between shadow and light "families" but they are all over the place. Do small thumbnail sketches defining the big shapes/volumes and how the light source casts their shadows. Pretty simple really but you have start very simple and then develop the image.
To really do it right/well you could simply build this complex set quickly and easily out of styrofoam, paper bags and some crumpled up newspaper - arrange it outdoors and study what is going on - morve things as needed. Voila - totally dialed in as far as light and shadow.

Hello! Personally, I am a great place in my...
Hello! Personally, I am a great place in my life and would hope that you are as well. I feel great and do not nearly feel my age and sometimes even have a lot of fun not acting it also!! I like to live by the rule that if I can make at least one person smile...or pee their pants...or spit out their drink...then it was a good day!! I would like someone who is fun and outgoing, someone who enjoys a night out together, meeting friends and family gatherings but also likes a nice quiet evening at home together. Family means everything to me. I am a father to two of the most wonderful little girls in the world. They are my biggest priority in life as I would expect your children are to you as well...probably goes without saying. I try to provide them with a happy, healthy environment when they are with me and I am always learning how to be the best father I can be for them (always a work in progress lol). Except for the occasional stealing of snacks late at night, they are great kids. If the snacks turns into something bigger like a car someday, I will have to reevaluate my parenting plan :) I am in business for myself and have clients all over the US. I have a few times of the year where I have to travel and would need someone who understands the demands on my time and will accept that there may be times of quality over quantity. I like to travel…anything from a weekend at the lake or a bed n breakfast to a full out beach vacation and would hope that you like to get away as well. In short, I want someone who will enhance my life as I will theirs. If these things sound good to you, let's talk or meet for a drink and see if there is a connection! If not, good luck in your search :)

Residents can enroll in free credit monitoring protection beginning today with CSIdentify Corporation.
After S.C. Department of Revenue tax data was compromised in a security breach last year, the department implemented new processes to strengthen its security. The state contracted with Experian to provide identity protection services to the more than 3.8 million individuals whose information was compromised, but the contract expires at the end of this month.
The state recently awarded a contract to CSIdentify Corporation to continue credit monitoring and identification protection services for the residents and businesses affected by the data breach.
For those whose personal information was hacked, eligibility exists up to one year to receive CSID's Identity Protection coverage.
S.C. Sen. Tom Young, R-Aiken, said the most important thing individuals need to do is simply sign up.
"I think the most important thing that people need to understand is that they have to be proactive in signing up beginning (today)," Young said. "They can sign up either through the Internet on the website or by calling the telephone number. Just because they did it last year with Experian, doesn't mean they will automatically be protected with the new company."
The state will pay $8.5 million for the first year of the CSID contract with the option to renew for four additional one-year periods at the state's discretion. The Experian contract the past year was for $12 million.
Individuals who signed up last year with Experian must also sign up again with CSID because the service will not transfer between the companies.
Individuals can renew with Experian for 99 cents per month if they so choose.
Identity protection includes credit monitoring, child monitoring, CyberAgent, court records and noncredit loans. A change of address, sex offender reports, Social Security number trace, identity theft insurance and identity restoration will also be covered.
Coverage is available for eligible taxpayers, adults 18 years of age and older, as well eligible adult dependents.
Businesses are also eligible for protection if they filed taxes within the state between 1998 and 2012. The service helps a business watch for data compromise and helps prevent and mitigate data breach. For those who wish to purchase their own protection service, a portion deduction can come from the cost from the state income taxes.
"Everyone just needs to know they need to sign up because if they don't, they won't be protected by the service," Young said.
For more information on signing up, visit www.scidprotection.com or call 855-880-2743.
Maayan Schechter is the city beat reporter with Aiken Standard. An Atlanta native, she has a mass communications-journalism degree from the University of North Carolina Asheville.

I do have spark so I'm guessing the cable is ok.
The petcock operates by vacuum. If you reversed the two lines it certainly won't work. Try pulling off what you think is the fuel line from the petcock, then put a cup under the spout, then crank it over. Gas should flow. No flow, no go.
The hoses are on correctly, checked per the manual and your instructions and gas is flowing well.
If there's no flow, then pull off the other end (near the carb) of the vacuum line, and smell it. If it smells like gas, you may have them reversed. If it does not smell, and you feel brave (or stupid), suck on it lightly and see if gas flows from the petcock. If there's still no flow, pull the line you thought was for vacuum off the petcock, push it on the other nipple, and try again.
Good luck.
I readjusted the valves again. The feel is vague. It was smoking when it last ran. Possible it could be internal? Could I have done more damage running it on the road? I have the manual and TDC was on when I adjusted at least this time, maybe not the other times. The thing won't even start with starter fluid, that's the kicker. It's impossible to get to the carb on this without pulling the engine, or at least it seems that way to me. I don't want to spend much getting this running but I don't have much in it either. Should I just pull the engine and take it apart as a learning experience?
I did order a new CDI and should be here in the next few days. Any chance that could be the issue?
on't you know there ain't no devil, it's just God when he's drunk.

Salem First Baptist Church to Celebrate 175th Anniversary During Little Egypt FestivalSalem First Baptist Church will be celebrating a big milestone this weekend. The church will celebrating the 175th Anniversary of the church, which was established in the fall of 1837. The theme of the Anniversary Celebration is "Glancing gratefully to the past... looking prayerfully to the future".
Event Coordinator Jennifer Watson says they chose the Little Egypt Festival Weekend to celebrate their anniversary for several reasons. "Our church was founded in the fall of 1832. We chose this weekend because we thought if people are coming in from out of town, it would give them a nice opportunity to take in the festivities that Salem does for the Little Egypt Weekend as well as getting to spend some time with old friends and make some new friends as well", said Watson.
Watson says you can expect to see some members of the congregation in the Little Egypt Parade on Saturday as part of the celebration as well. "We are going to be having a float in the Little Egypt Parade. Our float will celebrate of 175 years, and we will have some of our youth walking with our float. The theme for our float is going along with the heroic adventure theme with the parade, and it is called "Faith Heroes". So we'll have some of our youngsters walking along side our float handing out goodies", said Watson.
The church will be having an open house from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday during and after the parade with historical displays set up throughout the church. An invitation has been extended to current members, former members of the church, and for anyone in the community who would like to attend.
On Sunday, October 7th, all Sunday School classes have been dismissed. A Morning Fellowship will be held at 9:30 a.m in the church fellowship hall. Morning worship will begin at 10:30 a.m., which is earlier than customary. Illinois Baptist Association Executive Director Dr. Nate Adams has been invited to bring the message. His sermon is entitled, "Where Do We Go From Here".
There were plans for a Lunch on the Lawn immediately following morning worship, but due to the weather forecast the lunch will be moved inside the church. Reservations are required for the lunch. For more information on the festivities, contact event coordinator Jennifer Watson at 1-217-841-7143.

Hello, my name is Amanda, (bet you couldn't guess that based on my username!) I was living in Chicago the past 4 years and absolutely loved it, but moved back to Minnesota this past May to be closer to my family and for a change of pace. I am ambitious, adventurous, and always looking for a good time. A great sense of humor is the key to my heart, and I need someone who can make light of any situation. I always try to see the positive in most things and keep an optimistic outlook on life. If I could quit my job right now, I would love to travel the world and explore all the wonders it has to offer. I am easily entertained and pretty much laugh at everything. I went to the University of Kansas and am a huge Jayhawk and College basketball fan. March Madness is one of the best times of the year, and am currently counting down the days until Selection Sunday. So I am looking for that special someone who shares the same interests, hobbies, and sense of humor as me. Someone who is into sports, whether its watching them or playing them, and who is up for spontaneous adventures. I still like to go out and have a good time and am hoping to find my partner in crime! Don't be shy, shoot me a message and let's see if we hit it off!
