Garlic and the Grocery Store
Garlic Head: This is the form that fresh garlic comes in. Each head usually contains about 10 cloves, which are each encased in its own parchment-like membrane.
Garlic comes in many convenient forms these days.
Whole peeled garlic: This is great if you need a lot of garlic cloves at one time, such as in the classic chicken and 40 cloves recipe.
Minced garlic: A great convenient product to have on hand just in case your fresh garlic goes bad or if you are stuck without fresh. Minced garlic should be kept in the refrigerator.
Garlic juice: This works well if you do not want little chunks of garlic in your food item. It usually comes in a spray bottle, which adds another element of convenience as you can easily spray it on vegetables or pasta to add flavor with out fat or sodium.
Garlic powder: This is also a great seasoning and works especially well in marinades because it disperses well in liquid.
Garlic equivalents
1 head = 10 cloves
1 clove = 1 teaspoon chopped = ½ teaspoon minced = 1/8 teaspoon powder = ¼ teaspoon garlic juice

United Spirits likely to touch Rs 554: Morgan Stanley
Foreign brokerage Morgan Stanley has assigned an 'Equal Weight' rating on United Spirits (USL) with a price target of Rs 554 per share. According to analysts at Morgan Stanley, USL is likely to trade below intrinsic value on concerns of deterioration in group financials, sluggish volume growth, volatility in raw material costs, rising debt levels and low visibility of earnings progression in the international business. The foreign brokerage is positive about volume growth in key brands like Signature (+27%), Royal Challenge (+23%) and Black Dog (+28%). Limited success of new products and higher input cost are key downside risks for United Spirits.

Let was probably planning to rechallenge Haru after they landed where they thought they would find Symphonia. But seeing as they got into the big brawl with Lucia and the Oracion 6, he got sidetracked after being turned into a tree and found out what really happened to Julia. He most likely just forgot all about dueling Haru.

i know that has not happend and probably wont but in the 10 (i think it was the 10 book) let said he was rescuing haru only so he could have a remach with him but let never had one is that because he never wanted to have a remach and he only used that as an excuse? please clear that up thank you

Sienna minivan maximizes premium touches.
Minivan Market
Amongst minivans, the Toyota Sienna ranks with the Honda Odyssey in quality and, along with the Chrysler Town & Country, is one of the three top selling vehicles in this shrinking segment. All new for 2011, the Toyota Sienna has been on the market since 1997, is offered in two- and all-wheel-drive configurations and now includes a base four cylinder engine as well as a potent V-6.
Toyota tries to encompass the entire minivan market with the Sienna, offering a base model priced from $25,060 to fully loaded minivans with all of the bells and whistles included for more than $40,000. Yes, the Toyota Sienna Limited AWD has a $40,570 sticker price, quite a high number for a "simple" people hauler.
Still, the Sienna offers the rock solid quality minivan owners want and will gladly pay for. Although the crossover segment continues to erode the minivan market, somehow Toyota seems to have found a market large enough to warrant offering its very best. If you're looking for a Toyota crossover, the Highlander or Sequoia SUV are worth a look.
Engine Choices
The base four cylinder engine is a first for the Sienna and should only be considered by people who aren't planning to haul seven or eight people around in it. When minivans were truly mini, four cylinders made sense, but as these vehicles grew in size and in stature, V-6 engines have proven to suit these vehicles better.
The standard engine is offered in the base model, allowing the Sienna to compete with the Kia Sedona, but at a cost to power. Offering 187 horses, this engine struggles to deliver when the Sienna is fully loaded. You'd be better served by choosing the 266 horsepower V-6, offering power that is equivalent to the other players. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard across the Toyota Sienna line.
Cabin Amenities
Inside is where the Toyota Sienna shines. Standard seating is for seven passengers, but an eight-seat configuration is possible if you replace the two captain's chairs in the middle row with the bench seat. My advice here is this: if you really need room for eight, choose the Toyota Sequoia instead.
Given that most buyers will choose the V-6 engine, we'll take a look at the "creature features" offered at this trim level.
For starters, a tilt and telescoping leather-trimmed steering wheel is standard. You also get audio controls built in, making it easier for you to handle audio, phone and voice commands. In addition, the Sienna offers an information center with navigation system and rear view camera; an XM radio compatible AM/FM/MP3 CD player with four speakers; tri-zone climate control; power driver's seat; plenty of cupholders; and power windows, door locks and push button start system.
High end packages include leather touches, a variety of technological features included upgrade audio, DVD screens and an assortment of accessories for storage.
Safety Touches
The Toyota Sienna offers broad safety features across its model line including side curtain airbags and driver's knee airbag; vehicle stability control with traction control; brake assist with electronic brake force distribution; driver and front passenger active headrests; and a seatbelt system with pretensioners. Higher trim levels include such touches as dynamic radar cruise control; a pre-collision warning system; hill start assist; and front and rear parking sonar.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has given the 2011 Toyota Sienna "good" ratings for frontal offset, side impact, rear crash protection and for rollover. This is the highest rating the IIHS offers, a safety and insurance saving benefit for minivan shoppers.

Big Thanks out to Ray for Starting this Group today. Also if anyone has any question regarding to what alot of Phrase as " Go Big or Go Home " In the Solar world , For free to ask . I will try to answer most of your question. Anytime you Introduce Higher Voltages and more power to your Solar Electric systems you need to be careful and have alot of precautions in place for safety. Also have understanding of MPPT charge controllers and wire sizing helps also.
Thanks for the suggestion Dale, this was long overdue.
Sunnyboy 700US here, with three 250 watt mono panels.
Stand alone solar generator with 90w mono, a 20amp programable (Chinese) MPPT, and a 40AH Valence lithium battery feeding a Xantrex SW1000. I started with an East Penn 92AH AGM, but the lithium out performs it.
Have one of those Xantred modified sine wave units with SLA battery's (just sitting on a shelf), and it is a joke... save your money and build your own like I did.
Nice Deal on Sunny Boys 700US...I am considering use of those later in the Future.
Hi all thanks for the invite to the "advance" solar forum
4 145watters
2 100 watters
18 15 watters
2 gti's
1 rogue 3024
6 230 ah batteries
all 24 volts in 12 out
multiple fuses and breakers
Your electronics were designed to run off pure sine wave. Some can actually be damaged by modified sine wave, especially anything with a speed control. I asked the appliance repair man at the store where I bought an Energy Star refrigerator if it could be run on modified sine, and he said it would take out the compressor, and void the warranty. (So, yes, it will make it "run longer" than with modified, but the same as if plugged into the grid.) On the other hand, pure resistive loads like a coffeemaker will work fine on modified sine.
As for MPPT, although not necessary, it will yield more wattage from your panels, as it adjusts for the maximum tracking curve. It is well worth the extra price, and the more watts you have, the quicker the payback.
For your new controller, you may want to get one that allows you to set your bulk, absorb, and float voltages so that you can match your battery specs. If you don't do all three completely, your batteries will not last as long.
MPPT charge controllers are basically the best thing to use in Higher Voltage and wattage systems. Its track the highest voltage it can use and basically squeezes the most out of your Solar panel power Production. A good example would be if you have a 100 watt panel and connect it to a PWM charge controller you will see at most maybe 50-60 watts because it directly connects to the battery when charging and connects the panel direclty, So the voltage will drop down to the Batteries Voltage point. MPPT doesnt do that it track the highest voltage and charges with highest currents it can charge with, In most cases you can get between a a 20-40 % increase in charging power. With MPPT that 100 watt Hooked to a PWM again getting only 50 - 60 watts charge, The MPPT charge could be almost 85-90 watts instead.
I'm not sure I qualify to be in this group yet but I have plans to add more solar power and a bigger battery bank.

We found our test subject at Mike's A-One Auto Salvage.
"We've got an '02 PT Cruiser," owner Mike Lehning said.
Lehning let us use one of his dent-free cars.
"I hope you don't damage it," Lehning said.
The makers of the "Hail Protector" say that shouldn't be a problem. The "Automobile Hail Protection System" claims to shield your car from hail... any size. We spent $324.89 on this car cover. That does include shipping.
Don Trefethn leads our assembly process. The makers say it's "easy to install in minutes." It took Don more than 20 frustrating minutes. Finally, it's ready for our make-shift storm. Don hits the remote control to activate it. But it doesn't fill with air as quickly as Don thought it would. So Don makes a few adjustments. He switches-out the battery holder for an electrical source and closes a hole that was allowing the protector to breathe.
"It just went right up," Don said.
Now, with a balloon of protection around the car, Don is ready to duplicate some of the maker's tests. He starts by putting static weight on top.
"That's 10 pounds," Don said.
He adds another 10 pounds. Look at the view underneath. You can't even see the weight pushing down on the cover.
Next, Don drops a five pound weight from 20 feet up in the air. It bounces off the cover.
He doubles it again. And, it bounces off again.
Now let's see how the cover shields the car from some Shocker Softball experts. Former player and Catch-it-Kansas reporter, Jamie Hull lines up about 43-feet away for her first pitch. She throws another. Both come in a little more than 50 miles an hour and bounce off the cover.
Now to the pitching machine. Head softball coach Kristi Bredbenner speeds it up to 70 miles an hour and fires. She turns it up one more time. The pitch is more than 80 miles an hour.
Mike comes back to check-out the aftermath and notices a tear in the cover.
"It kind of came unsewn there and when it did, it just opened it up a bit," Mike said.
However, the cover remained inflated. But now it's time to deflate and reveal any damage.
"I don't see anything at this time. It looks fine to me," Mike said.
Does it work?
"Yes it does," Mike said.
Don says the device wasn't practical, but he agrees with Mike, saying it does work.
In addition to the cover, you also receive daily hail forecast and a 30-minute early warning of hail in your area with your purchase of the "Hail Protector."
We called the company and explained how the "Hail Protector" performed in our testing. The owner responded immediately. He explained this product just launched eight months ago. In an email response he said, "We receive feedback from the Hail Protector Customer community and address areas of potential improvement as quickly as possible."

Post subject: can you get me the lyrics to this rhyme? Zelda the Zebra.
there was a little zebra who lived in the woods, she wore her pretty stripes like every zebra should. She took them off each night and wore them all day long and little Zelda Zebra would sing this pretty song, yipes yipes I love my pretty stripes, Yipes Yipes, I love m pretty stripes. One morning she got up and she looked so bright and gay, she smiled and she said, Oh what a lovely day, she went to get her stripes, she was going to put them on, she looked and she looked but all her stripes were gone! Can you imagine that? A zebra without stripes? Who ever heard of such a thing?
It continues something like: Whom did the zebra meet, manny the monkey, Mr.Monkey did you take my pretty stripes and Manny answered, No No I did not take them No but i will help you find them because I love you so. SO they two of them looked and looked and whom did they meet tammy the tiger ....

OMB Number: 1506-0018.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Title: Report of Cash Payment Over $10,000 Received in a Trade or Business.
Form: FinCEN 8300.
Abstract: Anyone in a trade or business who, in the course of such trade or business, receives more than $10,000 in cash or foreign currency in one or more related transactions must report it to the IRS and provide a statement to the payor. Any transaction which must be reported under Title 31 on FinCEN Form 104 is exempted from reporting the same transaction on Form 8300. The USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Pub. L. 107-56) authorized the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network to collect the information reported on Form 8300.
Affected Public: Private sector: Businesses or other for-profits, farms.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 114,000.
OMB Number: 1506-0064.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Title: Bank Secrecy Act Currency Transaction Report (BSA-CTR).
Form: FinCEN 112.
Abstract: The collection of the information contained on the Bank Secrecy Act Currency Transaction Report (FinCEN Report 112) is authorized by statute (31 U.S.C. 5313(a)) and required by regulation (31 CFR 1010.311 and 1010.313).

Title: Bank Secrecy Act Suspicious Activity Report (BSA-SAR).
Form: FinCEN 111.
Abstract: In 1992, the Treasury was granted broad authority to require suspicious transaction reporting under the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. 5318(g)). FinCEN, which has been delegated authority to administer the Bank Secrecy Act, joined with the bank regulators in 1996 in requiring, on a consolidated form (the SAR form), reports of suspicious transactions (31 CFR 1020.320). FinCEN and the bank regulators adopted the suspicious activity report ("SAR") in 1996 to simplify the process through which depository institutions ("banks") inform their regulators and law enforcement about suspected criminal activity. The SAR was updated in 1999 and again in 2003 (§ 1020.320). In separate actions FinCEN expanded the SAR reporting to money services businesses (March, 2000, 31 CFR 1022.320), broker dealers in securities (July, 2002, 31 CFR 1023.320), casinos (September 2002, § 1021.320) certain futures commission merchants (November, 2003, § 1026.320), life insurance companies (November 2005, § 1025.320), mutual funds (May, 2006, § 1024.320), and non-bank residential mortgage lenders and originators (31 CFR 1029.320). All reporting financial institutions are required to retain a copy of any SAR filed and supporting documentation for the filing of the SAR for five years. See the above listed 31 CFR references and 31 CFR 1010.430. These documents are necessary for criminal investigations and prosecutions. The filing of a SAR is necessary to prevent and detect the laundering of money and other funds at the filing institutions.
Affected Public: Private sector: Businesses or other for-profits, not-for-profit institutions.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 3,284,320.

The town of Frisco's annual fireworks show is a go, town officials announced Monday.
Thanks to recent moisture, which has lowered the fire danger, the town of Frisco and the Lake Dillon Fire Department are confident the 2013 fireworks display can be shot without incident and will light up the sky this Fourth of July.
"The Frisco's location is one of the safest in the state with the lake launch point and open space," said Jeff Berino, deputy chief of the Lake Dillon Fire Department, in a news release. "We feel confident we are a go for the fourth."
Frisco had to cancel their fireworks in 2012 in accordance with a statewide fire ban, the release stated. It was only the second such cancellation in more than 12 years.
The town of Frisco would also like to remind all citizens that while there are no additional bans on personal fireworks, local laws will be enforced. Frisco's fireworks policy permits the use of sparklers and ground displays, but not aerial fireworks.
Locals unsure about whether or not their personal fireworks are legal may call the Frisco Police Department at 668-3579.
The best viewing spot for the Frisco fireworks is the Frisco Bay Marina. A concert by Cody Canada and the Departed kicks off at 7:15 p.m. The fireworks show will begin at 9:30 p.m.
Escorted parking will be available at The Marina all day with limited availability. Handicap parking also will be available, although access to leave will be restricted for pedestrian safety, according to the release.
No outside alcohol will be permitted and coolers are subject to inspection. Alcohol checks will begin at 5 p.m. at the marina, but alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase.
The Frisco Fourth of July is a pet-friendly event, the release stated.
For more information, call the town of Frisco at 800-424-1554. A full schedule of events may be viewed online at www.Frisco4th.com.

This page describes the musical design report assignments and sonic system project, and includes links to samples of student work.
During the term, each student will produce three (3) musical design reports. This report is an original sonic sketch or musical work, lasting from two to five minutes, realized in notation, MIDI, digital audio, or code, and based on approaches, techniques, and/or models presented for each assignment. The sonic submission must be accompanied by written commentary (around 300 words, or about 1 double-spaced page in a 12 point serif font with one inch margins) consisting of at least the following components.
For each report, a group of students will be selected to present and discuss their results.
Design Report 1 sample: AthenaCL generation and manipulation
Design Report 2 sample: Ethiopian krar-inspired, Markov chain generated
Design Report 3 sample: Cat sounds source, PD generated
This project includes the creation of an original sonic system that functions as either a generative instrument with or without a performance interface or as a static or dynamic musical work employing techniques and/or tools of algorithmic composition. This project can be created with mechanical and/or acoustic tools, electrical circuits, creative extensions of conventional musical instruments and processors, or original software designs in any language or system. Students will present and demonstrate their system to the class and provide a written report describing their approach.
The project report is a written assignment (around 800 words, or about 3 double-spaced pages excluding citations and bibliography in a 12 point serif font with one inch margins) consisting of at least the following components.
Students must prepare and deliver a ten minute aural presentation on their sonic system. The presentation should include main points from the project report. Additionally, students must demonstrate the sonic possibilities of the system, treated in isolation and/or in the context of other sound sources and/or music.
Two weeks prior to the project's final due date, students must bring to class and submit a working prototype or minimal implementation of their sonic system, and be prepared to demonstrate and discuss their goals and plans as they approach completion.

Men's Health: New Year's Resolutions for Men (cont.)
WebMD examined these common objectives, and added a couple more that men might want to consider in their pursuit of good health. We then asked health experts to offer advice on how best to approach the resolutions for maximum success. Consider their suggestions, and see what works for you. Good luck!
New Year's Resolution No. 1: Get Fit
When men want to get fit, they tend to aim for weight loss in the stomach area and muscular definition in the biceps, chest, and abdominals, says Cedric Bryant, PhD, chief exercise physiologist for the American Council on Exercise.
To achieve these goals, men do little cardiovascular exercise, and a lot of resistance training -- a strategy that Bryant says is not ideal.
"Men need to participate in a balanced exercise program where they are involved in strength training that is for all the major muscle groups. They need to participate in some aerobic exercise, because that's going to help them to expend energy and burn calories," says Bryant, who also notes that good nutrition is crucial to fitness success. "You need the whole package if you want to get optimal results."
For instance, a man who performs many abdominal exercises may become frustrated because he is not able to obtain the "washboard abs" he desires. He may well have beautiful, washboard abs, but a layer of fat may be hiding them.
"Until you lose body weight and body fat overall, people aren't going to see the fruits of your labor," says Bryant. He says there's no such thing as spot reducing -- targeting certain areas of the body for fat and weight loss. When people lose weight, it usually comes off all over the body.
To get rid of the flab and pounds, Jean Bonhomme, MD, MPH, a member of the board of directors for the Men's Health Network, suggests choosing an enjoyable physical activity, even if it is not a traditional workout.
The idea is to move the body, doing anything from running, hiking, walking, or martial arts.
With any new or renewed activity, it is important to start slowly, gradually raising intensity. Starting out at a level that is too aggressive could cause pain, injury, and a sense of dejection.
New Year's Resolution No. 2: Watch What You Eat
Meat and potatoes have somehow been associated with manly men. "For some men, it's a macho thing to eat a lot of red meat," says Bonhomme. "We're supposed to be the hunters, and we bring home the deer and the elk."
There is certainly nothing wrong with a juicy piece of steak, but overindulgence can be a problem, says Bonnie Taub-Dix, RD, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. "Diets that promote large amounts of protein and fat, like the low-carb diets, are really not the way to go. Men have a tendency to do that more," she says.
Low-carbohydrate and high-protein diets limit intake of particular grains, rice, potatoes, pastas, fruits, and starchy vegetables. They sometimes encourage meat and fat consumption to promote weight loss.

Two bomb alerts in two days, a "likely" dissident attack and the influx of thousands of G.A.A. fans from across the border are providing a serious headache for police ahead of the G8 Summit.
Last Tuesday, the Stragowna and Drumroosk Roads in Kinawley were closed after a suspect device was discovered in the area and, due to the seriousness of the threat, army bomb disposal experts were called.
This followed on from Monday when Enniskillen Magistrates Court had to be evacuated after a security alert around 11 a.m. After a two-hour evacuation of nearby premises on East Bridge Street though, the alert was declared a hoax.

Dermot Earley has been forced to retire from inter-county football because of injury.
The Kildare midfielder had planned to compete in this season's championship, but has been forced to call it quits earlier than hoped due to a back injury.
The two-time all-star confirmed his retirement on Newstalk's Sports Sunday show saying: "Unfortunately, I hurt the back in the warm-up against Dublin on the [May 10] and what I thought was a spasm was a disc that was bulging and hitting a nerve, and over the next two weeks it got progressively worse.
"I was really struggling with it and ended up having to have surgery. I had one operation that didn't work and I had to go back in the following week to have a second one so that was five weeks."

Travel Agent
Vocational schools, community colleges, continuing education classes, or industry associations offer training. These classes teach students about international traveling regulations, reservation systems, tourism, business, and hospitality. Travel agents can receive accreditation from the Travel Institute, International Airline Transport Association's Training and Development Institute, or the Airlines Reporting Corporation.
If you live in Florida, Hawaii, Nevada, Iowa, Washington, or California, you need to be registered to be able to practice. Those living in Rhode Island need to obtain a license.
Beware of travel agent certification or accreditation mills (like puppy mills, but with less controversy and far less barking). There is no way to instantly become a travel agent, unless you have a very obliging fairy godmother. These fraudulent companies sell people worthless training materials along with a fake license or identification card. One of these card mills was recently bused by the FTC, after which over 70,000 "travel agents" were left without any ability to get their money back. There are 70,000 people who will be booking a trip to Brokesville.
When in doubt of a certificate program, contact The American Society of Travel Agents.

Sevilla's players crowded around Alberto Moreno as tears ran down his cheeks in Cardiff. He wasn't crying because he hadn't been involved in the European Super Cup final, though, nor because Unai Emery's men had been beaten 2-0 by Real Madrid. Moreno was choking up because this was goodbye.
The 22-year-old is the latest player to come through the youth system at Sevilla and be sold for big money. Jose Antonio Reyes, Sergio Ramos and Jesus Navas are some to have gone before him; now Moreno will swap Andalusia for Liverpool, where he is expected to become Brendan Rodgers's first choice left-back.
Passing v Elche in final game of La Liga season
It's little more than two years since he made his debut in the Sevilla's first team, coming on as a second-half substitute against Athletic Club in April of 2012. He had to wait nearly a whole year until his next taste of La Liga football, but since February 2013 his ascent has been as rapid as his move to a bigger club was predictable. Liverpool are the side who will now benefit from having the Spanish international in their ranks, although it could have been Real Madrid last summer if reports are to be believed.
Establishing himself in the starting line-up after Emery was handed the job as manager, Moreno finished the 2012/13 season playing in 15 of Sevilla's final 16 league games - he hadn't played in any previously. Already highly rated across Spain, his performances at the tail end of that campaign confirmed his talent. A gnarly defender and one often described as a terrier, Moreno, who stands at 5'7", picked up five bookings during those appearances as he demonstrated, despite his age, he wasn't afraid to get stuck in.
That summer, he was an undisputed starter in the Spain U-21 team which won the European Championships in Israel. By October of the same year, he was a full international. With Jordi Alba injured, Vicente del Bosque's preferred back-up was Moreno, and he took his La Roja bow against Georgia in a World Cup qualifier. Moreno has since made two more appearances for Spain, although, despite having been named in the provisional 30-man squad, he missed out on a spot on the plane to Brazil.
However, it is his form for Sevilla which alerted Europe's finest. Emery is a fan of rotation, so it says a lot about Moreno that he started 27 matches and made two more substitute appearances last season. And, once again, his tenacity was on show. Flying in for tackles regularly, he won 38 out of 96 and made 32 fouls, picking up a handful of bookings and one red card for his troubles.
Moreno, who was born in Seville, is more than just a teeth-bearing full-back though; he can get forward too. He's not an Alba clone, but he is quick, good with the ball and 33 successful take-ons in La Liga last term reveal he's not afraid to beat a man either. He was denied any assists - although he did score three goals - but over well over 40 percent of his key passes came from wide on the left in the final third of the pitch.
Eighteen months ago Moreno had made just one top flight appearance for Sevilla. But on Tuesday night, the admiration showed to him by his now former teammates showed how far he has come since then. Liverpool will hope for even more progress over the next 18 months.

In need of some help. My 2001 ttr 250 has been working great up to this point.
Now it won't start. Push the magic button and nothing. The headlight still shines
bright but no start. It happened all of a sudden. I went to start in one morning and
nothing. I have tried charging the battery but still no power. I think it must be
electrical because there is absolutely no sound when I push the button.
Any suggestions?
Check your fuse, stand switch, kill button, neutral switch and check for broken wires, ..........................What happens when you turn the key?Do all the idiot lights light up?Does the headlight come on?Do the brake lights work?Does the horn work?Does the starter or solenoid click?Does the starter grunt and the lights dim?Does anything happen?Can you kick start it?Can you bump start it?Can you jump-start it?Martyn
You're never too old to learn something stupid
Budleigh Salterton. Devon
Thank you for the quick response Martyn.
This is a US model. Headlight and tail light only. No guages.
There is no sound at all not even a click
There is no kick start electric start only
Rather than clicking and pasting the whole article, take a look (and read) the pertinent points here:-
It leads you through all that is common with ANY motorcycle refusing to start.
Please start with the easily accessible things like fuse, switches, safety contacts, etc. and check your battery is fully charged.
A quick look at the wiring bike's connections would be good and check that there are no frayed/shorting wires anywhere (particularly around the headstock).
Patience is a virtue when looking for a needle in a haystack!
Thanks for the article.
After you mentioned the bump start I coasted down a
small hill and popped the clutch - No Luck, but when I got it back in the garage
I removed the easily accessible fuses (2) there were OK. I then tried to start
the bike. This time I got RRR-RRR-RRR click click click. Does that give any clues?
Definite improvement, methinks.
Seems to point to either a bad earth somewhere or a fusty connection on the starting system.
Why don't you start at the starter button on the handlebar and squirt WD40 in it. Then follow the wires from the switch and find a connection (cable run or solenoid or relay or switch) then take the connection apart, clean the metal bits and coat them in Vaseline before re-connecting.
Do this on all the junctions, spade connectors and bits and bobs. Don't forget the safety switches like side stand, neutral and kill button.
Do it methodically - and you will find the culprit eventually.
Good luck.
I did as you suggested. I think it was the neutral switch. It seemed loose.
In any case the bike now starts. Thank you so much for the help.
I have made this thread a sticky as it has proved so useful!

"make no mistake: this is folk music, but it's got nothing to do with the legions of Americana pretenders out there. Ms. Segarra's crafting something delightfully arcane and witchy with this recording here... these are hymns that channel the raw feelings and chronicle the lives of the fucked-up romantics of Hurray For The Riff Raff's home by the Mississippi." - Gabe Soria

Are there any armour galleries that show INDIVIDUAL armour pieces in isolation?
ie. characters with only underwear and a single piece of armour at a time?
I know there are many galleries showing complete armour sets, but they are no use to me... I want to mix and match armour pieces, and for that I really need to see what each piece looks like in isolation. (Many pieces are partially obscured by other pieces in "full set" images).

Dear Yannis,
I think you are incorrect when you state that weapons, iaido/batto ho , kokyu etc , meditation techniques have been [in your opinion] neglected.Perhaps this is the case in some places?I can assure you that we here in the U.K ,
continue the study of such disciplines .Of course not everyone in our group wants to practice these [its not mandatory-personal choice ] but we do have many students who indeed do so .I rarely do Za Zen since my knees are a bit rusty.Cheers, Joe.
Dear Yannis,
I apologise for my comments.I reread the thread and noticed I had given you the same answer/info before.Thanks, Joe.
Regarding whether we are doing O Senseis Aikido .The answer hhas to be no.Each of us can only do our OWN aikido.Since we are each unique individuals it stands to reason we cannot have the identical physical/mental/spiritual make up.We are not clones of anybody.So why be a clone of any teacher?As long as we try and utilise the elements inherent in Aikido to the best of our ability, each person should gain from Aikido training.For me personally I prefer to train in BIG aikido.So much more rewarding than simply spending time in a dojo.
Cheers, Joe

Deery: I've made the bead angels with safety pins too, but these kits just use wire. I'll have to see how it works out. I found the kits in my mother-in-laws old craft room, unopened, so I'll use them! No one else will!
It may reach 81 degrees today, but the high tomorrow is 69. I guess another cooler front is moving through. I know this goes on in the fall every year.
I'm putting a beaded pattern onto a t-shirt. I bought it, and it is iron-on, and bought a nice shirt too. I've washed the shirt, and need to "start up my iron". I love those shirts with the little rhinestone-like beads on them. The kit was $2 and the shirt was $9- I know that I wouldn't be able to get a shirt with that print on it, for that price anywhere.
Keep Smilin'! A good laugh- for any reason- will do anyone good!
Hi Gals, I made the 3-2-1 piece of cake today. I put a dark piece of Chocolate Kiss in it to see how it would turn out. The Kiss was melted in middle bottom so I turned over and spread chocolate around for frosting. Makes it more yummy then plain.
Mary, wishing you and your family a nice weekend.
AND also rest of Kitchen Gals.
Hugs, Deery
As a deer longs for flowing streams, so my soul longs for you, O God. Psalm 42:1
I made a box cake mix with coconut and rum extracts added to it. I baked it in the crock pot- turned out wonderful. I didn't realize that they made sugar-free cake mixes in a box. I'll have to get some, if they are on sale sometime.
Good Monday morning, hope everyone is doing well. Danggg Ann, breaking toes!? Ouch! Hope they are better, did you get to the doctor? And surely to goodness that has done you in for standing on your feet making jellys and stuff for a while?Glad Jim was able to spend a bit of time home. Deery your 3-2-1 cake sounded good with the kiss in it, had to grin at the melting on the bottom and spreading for icing, great idea. Same ol thing going on around the place, FB has slacked off a bit for my farming, not much but some. Kerry is taking use or lose time every so often now, he took off last Thurs and Fri, will do the same for the next few weeks I think and maybe down to 1 or 2 day working weeks. Last Thurs we went to Steamboat Bills in Lake Charles and had small platters of seafood, hehe, not so small we found out, brought leftovers home. I had been sick for a couple days, just the usual stuff, and things to be done around the house. Need to get up and fix the kitties their baby food mixture and get them fed, they are growing slowly, are quite the screamers when it comes to feeding time. Long haired gray Arty has its bluff in on Wild Thang, tiny thing will go running with arched back and scares the heck out of Wild Thang, she runs to the middle of the front yard, and I have to run and grab the kitten. We had a couple cooler mornings here, back to the warm stuff again. Need to get those babies fed and get to moving, nothing waits on us here. Have a great week, hugs, Connie
Temp. got down to 40 last night, but will get to 80 today, and more hot tomorrow, only 63 overnight. With the clouds, it will keep it from getting cold at night. We may get rain tomorrow. I guess I won't bring in plants until next month, or if a frost comes earlier.
I tried egg-substitute the other day, at a restaurant, and it was in an omelet. I really couldn't tell that it was their egg substitute- I just saved on cholesterol! I guess I'll buy some at the store next week. I love eggs.
Hi Gals, Monday is here again. I washed my new flannel sheets. I will have DD put flannel sheets on my bed on Sunday. Other sheets are cold when I climb into bed. Have to renew my disability placard this year. Had to write a request letter to medical insurance to their 'release of medical information' department for my dr signature. It is clear on the other side of Portland so easier to mail then have DD drive that far. It would be much easier to take into clinic for DR to sign when I get next lab, but of course easier isn't allowed. Dang! Grandson came home for weekend and he and DD came over on Saturday to visit. He already had homework before classes even started.
Connie, good to hear from you. Always enjoy hearing about furbabies. Glad Kerry can take some time off now and then.
Mary glad you don't have to take your plants in so soon.
Staying in mid to low 70 temps here.
Wishing All a Nice Week.
Hugs Deery
I never have brought plants in before a threat of frost before. It was sprinkling this morning, so I brought in my amaryllis because it doesn't need much water now- cutting down on water so it can go dormant for the the winter. I took it out of the pot, the soil was all wrapped up in the roots, so it came out very nicely, and there were ants crawling all over the soil. I tapped the pot several times and got them off, then let the amaryllis sit outside on the deck for a few hours. They are almost gone now. That's what makes me concerned about just taking the outside plants inside- I really don't want bugs all over.
A warm front came up last night/ morning and it will be in the lower 80's today- because of that, there is a possibility of rain scattered. I'll leave plants outside until there is a threat of frost. I hear thunder now, so maybe I should bring in that amaryllis. Bye.
Deery I bet you were glad to see the GC come over fora visit over the weekend, always nice to have most visitors isn't it. *smile* I *visit* with my family by phone or via FB, sometimes by emails, everyone is so busy. Ahhh those furbabies this morning, Spat has a new name of Demon for the day. I left them out to eat while I cleaned the cage and they liked it to much and running like crazy over the deck and around my pots of plants and such. Could not catch them so I got me a string of yarn and managed to catch two, but the last one Spat, was screaming, baring claws,teeth and hissing and screaming, and turning every which way with my trying to keep from being torn to shreds! What a monster it was, managed to get it back into the cage, will sure make me think twice about letting them out again, at least for a while. They may get to stay out of they get loose like today to run, not worth being hurt with. My oven thermostat went out so I got the part yesterday and got it partly out before Kerry got home and he finished it up, so I baked fish patties last night for fish sandwiches and fixed steak fries to go with, tasted yummy. Deery I agree, those nice cotton sheets do get mighty chilly when the weather starts cooling off, have not changed ours yet, but will when it cools down to much. Well I have some laundry to change over and some to come out of the dryer, better get busy. Take care, hugs, Connie
Connie, the kittens sound just like the neighbors kittens that hang out on daughters deck. They are getting 2 tamed and learning how to play but the third one is still wild. It scratched son in law when he tried to crab it. Now the mother cat might be expecting her third litter this year. Daughter wants to take them to cat shelter but they are getting too attached. Son in law doesn't want to give any animals away after he get attached. And DD is the one ending up taking care of them.
I just made an apple cobbler from two apples DD brought over from their tree. One was starting to rot from inside but I got enough apple for my 2 cup casserole baking dish. I think it is a recipe that Ruth posted one time that I adapted for smaller size. You are supposed to use canned apple pie mix but I just cook the apples first and recipe works fine. Make it in my toaster oven. Fill like I got something accomplished today.
Oh Deery, those furbabies, aren't they so loveable and cute. Kerry used to not be a cat lover, notice the word used, and I have been raising these kittens, feeding them replacement nutrious milk that I mix up and IAMs kitten food and they are growing but still small. I told Kerry I guess I could leave them out of the cage? and he said nooo, they are to little and something would get them. Ok, so where is the guy who used to not like cats, LOL. No, we have owls in the woods and I said I was afraid a owl would get them but danggg yesterday that Spat, who was the demon, was about to change my mind. Kerry about rolled on the floor laughing at me telling about my kitten-demon, experience. He went out and fed the babies their food last night and went back and covered their cage for me, bless his heart. hehe. I can only sit and grin at your DD predicament taking care of babies too. When these kitties get big enough they will be taken to the Humane Society and fixed and we will be bringing them back home, and the Humane Society is going to give them their shots at no costs to us. The lady who runs the place called one of her workers and had her pull me up 6 syringes of worming medicine to give the babies, for two days, two for each of them, no cost. But then again I have to say I do go over there from time to time to see what animals they have when they had garage sales there and make out a couple checks for donations to them. I have a message from Nancy, she called last night and we had a wonderful long chat, hehe. She was fixing supper, but she can read the PCH but cannot post, darned site will just not let her! Drats anyway!! Double drats, sure miss hearing from her. She said to tell everyone hi and that she misses ya all. {Hugs} Ahhh her and her furbabies too, I heard one crying in the kitchen with her wanting attention, hehe, she said one and I am thinking it is Peek A Boo, that walks on her hind legs and will follow Nancy around the kitchen like that on the hind legs, lol, how sweet. Also Miz Dee called yesterday and she is doing pretty good, taking things easy, dealing with some healing issues, but she is getting along. It was funny how both these gals had been on my mind and they called, must be ESP working you think? Deery your apple cobbler sure sounds good, what kind of crust did you use for your recipe, or was it a crumble sort of topping? Love apples in cobbler. This is Wed so going to see what fresh fruits and veggies are on sale. Made some cole slaw the other day and Kerry has lapped it right up, nothing like homemade slaw. I grated the cabbage in my food processor, as well as carrot and a bit of onion, then we always squeeze the veggies to blend the flavors together and mix with salad dressing usually but only had a large container of mayo to use this time and put in a packet of sweetener. Yum, yum. When Kerry was a Sr in school he worked at a restraurant and they ran out of something and had him make coleslaw and he did, and after that they always had him make it. Well better get busy and feed the babies, hope everyone has a great day. Hugs, Connie
Glad everyone is doing well! It's in the 70's today and very humid. It is cloudy, so the temp. will stay in the 70's. There's a chance of rain coming in the next state now, but we'll see if it gets here.
My husband is working a few hours away, and will be home on Friday night. My sons are at school and work, so I'm by myself most of the day. My mom will come tomorrow (few hours away) and we'll go shopping. It will be nice to get out and see people, live, instead of on a t.v.
Bye for now!
Hi Connie, sure glad to hear Nancy is doing okay. Was a wondering? Lost so many Gals posting because they cannot get on website. Glad Dee is doing some better also. Glad you can get some of the kittens medical taken care of. The cobbler is more like apple cake. Bisquick, sugar and melted butter. Put in baking dish and add pie filling and mix together. Maybe Ruth would still have recipe. I like it because I don't have to roll out a crust and I don't have to make a crumb topping that I have a hard time putting on top evenly.
Mary, know what you mean about not getting out. I have Dental cleaning tomorrow and it will be first time out in a car this month. I sing 2 or 3 hymns a day to know my voice still works. lol And I will get to see some of the fall colors and seasonal changes.
Wishing All a Nice rest of week.
Deery: I don't get out because I mean I only get out of our mobile home to walk around the porch. My knees have given out on me 2 times going down steps now. I usually need someone with me when I walk around. I do walk slow, and going up any kind of incline really is stressful on my leg muscles. If my husband doesn't come home and take me out to lunch, (or when I go to church on Wednesday nights), I won't get out at all. I can't take the city bus because that takes walking to a bus stop and stepping up in the bus- steps are one-at-a-time for me. I go to the grocery store with my family, and if I hold on to the cart, I'm fine. This chat sure is a nice "get-away" for me. I look forward to chatting every day.
The temperatures have "leveled" for the days this week- just in the 70's and 50's at night. I brought my amaryllis in to not water it and send it into dormancy so it will bloom this winter.
It's best not to think about our bad times because we can easily be depressed- if we know it or not.
I got my teeth cleaned. DD was sick so we came straight home. Think she was going to go to bed. When the page doesn't seem to load I hit refresh and it seems to wake computer up. The battery is dead in the furnace thermostate. I didn't even know it had batteries. Will probably have to wait until DD comes over on Sunday for her to put new batteries in it. The directions don't even have a picture of where the batteries are located. I cannot stand up that long to replace them.
Mary, I started to go down hill in my 40s. Was diagnosed with Post Polio in 1989. Got braces and started to use a cane, then went to walker, then scooter 2 or 3 years after that. I have to conserve to preserve my strength. Took some years to realize that. That is why I went down hill so fast in the beginning. With conserveing my energy I am holding on and not going down hill so fast. Take care.
I am making a Positive Journal to keep my spirits lifted. I love going thru it. Hymns and poems and uplifting pictures and scripture. And I write about good days. Mary, in the Taste of Home Groups I have favorite poems in Mary's Tea Room. It is called Poems for Marys Tea Room. In 2004 in Kitchen Chat I had a room called Chat On Wheels. I kept it up for 5 years, then because of health issues with other ladies I finally left if to cyber space. And I have been is this group since it began in 2004, April.
Waving to all the Kitchen Gals.
Thanks Deery, I'll go to that room.
my mom came here yesterday morning, and she stayed overnight instead of driving back home, 2 hours, in the dark. We shopped yesterday, and my muscles in my legs are tired today! I've been doing better because I do the physical therapist recommended exercises every day. If I bend over and pick something up, or squat down, my back muscles don't get me back up again- impossible for me now- that can be so embarrassing in stores and things when I can't even get up from a "down" position without having my arms help me- then I can do it with my arms' help. Some people just don't seem to "understand", and think so "down" about situations. Just "smile" and go on.
Temperatures are very nice here, in the 70's.

excellent laptopAfter studying the market for days, I narrowed down to this laptop, I was interested in its gaming performance as I'm a casual gamer. This babe performs like a beast. The GPU, GT 520MX which is a mid range GPU and handles all the games with ease. The Core i5 compliments the GPU and provides this laptop good performance. As a result I was playing games like Mordern Warfare 3, Arkham City and NFS-The Run with good quality settings without even a hint of lag.......!!!!

Perfect and best for academic and day-to-day useHad placed the order on 9-6-2013. Received the item on 15-6-2013. Hats off to flipkart the packaging as they adhere to the codes of practice for packaging laid by the OEMs. The laptop comes with a DOS OS. Installed Win 7 Ultimate. It is working well one and half years since. In fact, I'm composing this review from it. Keypad is perfect and I feel Dell has done a good job in coming out with a keyboard which is ergonomically sound compared to the other Inspiron models. This product is now outdated. One of the pros that I found is the numeric keypad which is very useful giving the feel of a conve… (Expand)

not bad at allthis is a pretty good package to buy at this price. good quality, good features and there's always Dell itself. it may be a little tedious to download and install the drivers for all the hardware if you dont have the dell resource cd. all in all, its a great package. but flipkart messed up the delivery and delayed it by a day for me. thats the only con i could find
Jun 4, 2012
The laptop performs as advertisedThe product reached me in 2 days. This is the first time I am buying on Flipkart and I am impressed. I wish I had more money to buy a better laptop like the XPS series :) The laptop performs well. It does get a little hot so a cooler is advisable.

The 21-year-old, who finished sixth on her Olympic debut at London 2012, has made an encouraging start to 2013, clearing 4.60m last weekend at the Glasgow International Match.
That came two weeks after she recorded a leap of 4.62m in France with both comfortably inside the qualifying height of 4.50m for March's European Indoor Championships
And, announcing she will be appearing at the trials in February, the British record holder is confident she can go even higher with victory automatically securing her a place.
Last year Bleasdale enjoyed a successful indoor season, claiming world bronze, a British record of 4.87m in France and clearing 4.70m at the trials Sheffield.
And, as that jump secured her a second successive UK title, the now Arizona-based pole vaulter is bidding to win yet again ahead of trip to Gothenburg.
"I always enjoy coming to Sheffield to compete in the trials, and I'm really looking forward to the opportunity of making it three wins in a row," said Bleasdale.
"Hopefully I can produce a good performance and confirm my place for the European Indoor Championships in March.
"Clearing 4.60m at the Glasgow International Match was a good start to the season but I know I can go much higher so hopefully I'll be able to do that in Sheffield.
"2013 is a big year for me so it's important that I'm consistent and perform well in all my competitions. I want to continue progressing and put on a good show for the Sheffield crowd."
