SAN DIEGO There is no dispute that Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich and another Marine shot five men after a roadside bomb killed a member of their squad in Iraq, or that he led a house-to-house search that ended in the deaths of more civilians, including women and children.
But whether it was murder, as prosecutors charged, has been challenged not only by Wuterich's defense but by an investigating officer reviewing the biggest prosecution of U.S. troops involving civilian deaths in Iraq.
The officer, Lt. Col. Paul Ware, has recommended the 27-year-old not be tried on charges of unpremeditated murder in the deaths of 17 of the Iraqis killed in the assault, a defense attorney said Thursday.
Instead, Ware recommended that the former squad leader be court-martialed on the lesser offense of negligent homicide in the deaths of five children and two women, said Neal Puckett, Wuterich's attorney.
Despite the potential setback for military prosecutors, observers said the message was clear: Troops will face greater scrutiny for killing women and children.
"When you see nothing but women and children, you don't fire," said Gary Solis, a former Marine Corps prosecutor and judge who teaches law of war at Georgetown University Law Center.
In heated combat, it may be difficult to hold fire, Solis said. "In this case, they were not engaged. They were not receiving fire."
Wuterich, of Meriden, Conn., is charged in connection with the squad's actions in the town of Haditha in 2005. In all, 24 Iraqis were killed in the attack.
Ware reviewed evidence against Wuterich in a preliminary hearing known as an Article 32. His recommendation is nonbinding, and the final decision about whether Wuterich should stand trial rests with Lt. Gen. James Mattis, the commanding general overseeing the case at Camp Pendleton.
If Mattis accepts the recommendation for Wuterich and a similar one for one of his corporals, which appears likely based on past practice, no one will face murder charges.
"We're both very pleased and also not surprised, given how the other cases have gone," Puckett said. "There has never been any inkling that any of these Marines lost control or went on a rampage."
Ware also recommended dropping charges of making a false official statement and telling a squadmate to do the same, Puckett said.
If tried and convicted of murder, Wuterich would face a maximum sentence of life in prison. Puckett said negligent homicide carries a maximum sentence of three years for each count.
A Marine Corps spokesman, Lt. Col. Sean Gibson, declined to comment.
Of four enlisted Marines initially accused in the case, charges have been dropped against Sgt. Sanick Dela Cruz and Lance Cpl. Justin Sharratt. Ware has also recommended charges be dismissed against the third alleged shooter, Lance Cpl. Stephen Tatum.
Charges also have been dropped against two of four officers accused of dereliction of duty for failing to investigate the incident. Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani, the highest-ranking of the officers, has been recommended for a court-martial, but Mattis has made no final decision. Another officer, 1st Lt. Andrew A. Grayson, is scheduled for a pretrial hearing.
The killings occurred Nov. 19, 2005, after a roadside bomb hit a Marine convoy, killing the driver of a Humvee and wounding two other Marines. Wuterich and Dela Cruz allegedly shot five men by a car at the scene, then Wuterich ordered his men into several houses, where they cleared rooms with grenades and gunfire, killing unarmed civilians in the process.
At his preliminary hearing, Wuterich said he regretted the loss of civilian life in Haditha, but said he believed he was coming under fire from the homes and so was operating within military combat rules when he ordered his men to assault the buildings.
Dela Cruz, one of Wuterich's former squad mates, testified against him at the hearing, saying that Wuterich shot the men by the car even though their hands were in the air and they were not running. Dela Cruz's charges had been dropped and he had been given immunity to testify.
Wuterich argued the men were fleeing the scene of the bomb, an activity suspicious enough at the time to legitimize killing them.
Though prosecutors have yet to score any convictions, three high-ranking Marines have been censured for failing to investigate the killings. A letter of censure is the military's most severe administrative punishment.

Supplements Like OxyElite Pro: More Dangerous Than They Seem?
The use of dietary and fitness supplements is like OxyElite Pro are on the rise. Sometimes, they can do more harm than good.
According to the CDC, 40% of adults reported using dietary supplements in the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s. Now, more than half of American adults take supplement like OxyElite Pro or Jack3d. The supplement market is reportedly worth $50 billion dollars worldwide. The term "supplement" can be applied to things such as:
- Vitamins
- Minerals
- Herbs
- Amino acids
- Plant Extract
Recently, the supplement business has come under increasing scrutiny for misleading marketing practices and unsafe ingredients in their products. The New York Times published an article this month warning that herbal supplements often do not contain the ingredients they are supposed to. The article examines a study performed by Canadian researchers using complicated genetic fingerprinting to determine the DNA material present in popular herbal supplements. The researchers found that popular pills labeled as herbal supplements often contain cheap alternatives instead, including soybean, wheat, rice, and nut products.
The supplement industry has had its worst safety record with its dietary and fitness boosting products. In June 2011 Michael Lee Sparling, a 22-year-old private in the army, collapsed and died after running for just ten minutes with his unit. It was later discovered that Michael had been taking a supplement called Jack3d, which USPlabs marketed as a booster of strength, energy, power and endurance. Michael's parents, Leanne and Michael Sparling, recently filed a lawsuit alleging that Jack3d killed their son.
The primary ingredient used in Jack3d is dimethylamylamine (DMAA). Several other fitness boosters use this compound including OxyElite Pro, MethylHex, Napalm, Lean EFX and more. According to the FDA's warning letter to consumers, DMAA can elevate blood pressure, leading to cardiovascular problems, including heart attack, shortness of breath and tightening of the chest. Given the known biological activity of DMAA, the ingredient may be particularly dangerous when used with caffeine.In addition to cardiac issues, OxyElite Pro has also been linked to liver failure.
Since this letter was issued, every manufacturer of fitness boosters using DMAA has agreed to stop using it in their products. USPlabs initially attempted to argue that DMAA was found in the herb Pelargonium graveolens, but the FDA didn't buy it and administratively detained the products. USPlabs exventually gave in and agreed to reformulate their products containing DMAA, including OxyElite Pro. The Department of Defense also performed a study on DMAA and has subsequently banned the sale of supplements with DMAA, like OxyElite Pro and Jack3d, on all U.S. military bases.
F.D.A. regulations unfortunately provide a safe-haven for manufacturers looking to push the boundaries of safety. Generally, manufacturers do not need to register their products with FDA or get FDA approval before producing or selling dietary supplements. Manufacturers must only make sure that product label information is truthful and that their supplements comply with the Dietary Supplement Current Good Manufacturing Practices. Those guidelines only require companies to test their products themselves, with no outside input or oversight. According to the FDA, 70% of supplement firms do not adhere to good manufacturing practices. As long as FDA regulations remain lax, we will unfortunately continue to see supplement-caused injuries.
If you or someone you love has been affected by dietary supplements such as Jack3d and OxyElite Pro, please contact us online or call us at 800-829-7037 for a free and completely confidential consultation with a lawyer. Our team of experienced pharmaceutical attorneys here at Ashcraft & Gerel has successfully handled lawsuits on behalf of clients who have been injured by Fen-Phen, Rezulin, Propulsid, Gadolinium, Ortho Evra, Vioxx, Phenylpropanolamine (PPA), and many other drugs and medical devices.

USD/JPY: forget about Japan
The Bank of Japan may stay on hold until autumn.
In line with expectations Japanese central bank didn't announce any new monetary stimulus measures at its May 22 meeting. One of the BOJ members, as usual, voted to cut quantitative easing program (QE). Governor Kuroda sounded a bit more optimistic about Japanese economy during the press conference. According to the data released during the past week, the nation's economic growth accelerated from 0.4% to 0.6% in Q1.
As a result, further quantitative easing in Japan in the coming months is unlikely. However, the Bank of Japan's pledge to reach 2% inflation target in 2016 still looks unrealistic. As a result, we don't rule out the possibility of more easing later this year. For now, however, USD/JPY will lack drivers up from the Bank of Japan, so its ability to get higher will depend on how hawkish the US Federal Reserve is.
Next week pay attention to the release of the Bank of Japan's meeting minutes on Wednesday and a block of important Japanese data on Friday. Break above March highs has turned the picture bullish. Technically USD/JPY has resistance in the 121.85/122.00 area ahead of 123.00 and 124.00 and support at 120.00 and 119.30.

All Metals Market, a Fremont, Neb.-based third-generation scrap metal recycling firm, has completed installation of and began operating a new auto shredder from the Italian firm Bonfiglioli at its yard in Fremont.
Kevin Yount, president of the company, says the shredder's installation reflects the company's growth over the past three years. Yount adds that while the equipment is technically an auto shredder, the company expects to use it mostly for shredding sheet metal and other types of scrap.
The shredder, which is expected to be fully operational by the end of November, is only the sixth shredder of its type manufactured by Bonfiglioli that is operational in the United States.
The shredder system includes an input hopper, the shredder mill, two drum magnets for sorting ferrous metals and a configuration of conveyors and eddy current magnetic systems.
Yount says the decision to install the Bonfiglioli shredder follows All Metals Market purchase of a 2,000-ton gravity feed shear from the company early this year. He says it is the first of its type in operation in the U.S. "We have been very pleased with the shear so we decided to purchase an auto shredder as well," Yount notes.
One press report notes that the shredder mill contains 16 hammers on a shaft that makes about 1,000 rotations per minute.
When fully operational, Yount says the shredder will be able to process between 20 to 30 tons of metal per hour.
Facilities Manager Todd Hoppe oversaw installation of the system and designed a metal walkway connecting its components.
The decision to add to expand the company's services follows strong growth for the company over the past three years, Yount points out. "We have a clean facility. We are noticing lots of people are staying away from the large city yards. They come to our yards here and they are not intimidated by the operations."
Yount adds, "We really try to serve our customers. If they call us we are out there right away."
While All Metals Market has seen strong improvement in its retail business, the company also has seen a sharp increase in its industrial business. The company has around 400 boxes at various locations and has trailers to quickly service any account.
In addition to new equipment, the company also recently expanded its warehouse to accommodate the increase in business.
"I purchased a 2,000 ton Bonfiglioli ferrous shear earlier this year through Alan Ross Machinery and the quantities of mill grade scrap its producing are impressive," Young says. "Soon after I inspected Drake ferrous shredders in Connecticut and Chicago and felt the Drake M16 would deliver similar results in a shredded product."
Rustin Ross, president of Alan Ross Machinery Corp. and the U.S. dealer for ING Bonfiglioli's equipment, says, "The shredder and base downstream equipment take only about two weeks to install, but ensuring the site is ready for installation when Bonfiglioli's personnel arrive, and managing the logistics of rental equipment and delivery from the port can get complex. With six successful US installations behind them, and two more in the pipeline, Bonfiglioli is as skilled at managing that process as any equipment service provider I've seen."

The Woman Tim McGraw Smacked Hired A Lawyer
The woman TIM MCGRAW smacked for grabbing and ripping his jeans at a concert earlier this month has hired a personal injury attorney. They've contacted Tim's people but there's no word if a lawsuit has been filed.
The woman's name is Jesslyn Taylor, and she wants a personal apology from Tim . . . but you don't need a lawyer for that.....a payday could be involved
The attorney told TMZ that she was NOT trying to grab Tim and it was an accident that she hooked onto his jeans. She also feels "humiliated" by all the bad press.
Both TMZ and "Billboard" have reached out to Tim's people but there's been no response.

The story goes that Roman Abramovich was smitten one April night at Old Trafford in 2003 when the future owner of Chelsea was as exhilarated as the rest of us. No one could fail to be stirred by the standing ovation from the magnanimous home support when Ronaldo, with his work done, was taken off. A hat-trick had guaranteed that Real Madrid would win that Champions League quarter-final with Manchester United. The occasion must have made Abramovich hard to please and he is bound to be disappointed if has been waiting for such an event to be repeated at Stamford Bridge.
His apparently unswerving desire to be rid of Jose Mourinho is presumably connected to Chelsea's grinding manner. The dogged campaign to recruit Andriy Shevchenko reflected a craving to have one of the most famed footballers on the books.
In the present campaign the striker has improved only to a certain extent, so the search for glamour will continue. David Villa, scorer of a goal worthy of Johan Cruyff when Spain beat Denmark last week, will not only be menacing Chelsea on Valencia's behalf tomorrow night, but also auditioning at Stamford Bridge.
None the less, Abramovich is peculiarly romantic for an oligarch if he is fixated with centre-forwards. They have not been decisive in the Champions League for a while, as recent finals show. The winner last year came from the Barcelona full-back Juliano Belletti; in 2005 Steven Gerrard changed the game with an onslaught from midfield; Mourinho's mid-match switch to a counter-attacking system helped Porto ease away from Monaco in 2004; and the year before a penalty shoot-out was needed to separate Milan and Juventus.
So severe is the dearth of star strikers that Milan were gleeful at signing Ronaldo in January, though the deal was facilitated by Real Madrid's resolve to be rid of him. There are a few outstanding scorers around, but Samuel Eto'o has been checked by injury and no one assumes that Thierry Henry, with sciatica to bedevil him, will ever be so prolific again.
Nostalgia is setting in where the hoariest of predators is concerned. Romario, hero of the 1994 World Cup for Brazil, calculates by his own shady accounting that he has had 999 goals in his career. On Sunday 60,000 people gathered in expectation that the 41-year-old would get his 1000th for Vasco da Gama in the Rio derby, but Botofago won 2-0 instead. Though Romario can still be menacing, his eminence is protected because there is a lack of prospects in any country who are at all reminiscent of him.
The matches themselves are played in a different manner in modern times and while referees have reduced the number of vicious fouls, there are no means in place to sanction teams who are so slick at smothering and outnumbering a threatening individual. Many tactical systems now feature a single attacker because managers commonly assume they are more likely to score by springing midfielders instead.
Mourinho more or less won two Premiership titles with a 4-3-3 formation that, in practice, guaranteed merely that there would be one centre-forward. Even now, with Shevchenko accommodated, so much is asked of the resilient and sometimes spectacular Didier Drogba that he is starting to look laboured. It is a month since he scored for the club.
There are rare examples of teams with no obvious spearhead who are full of dash and one of them should win the Premiership shortly. Manchester United are prolific despite the appearances of Henrik Larsson and Louis Saha being rationed. Even with Wayne Rooney behaving as if this were his gap year, goals have come from all areas.
A fluid Barcelona are capable of that as well, but many prominent clubs just sigh over their limited resources. Of the Champions League quarter-finalists, Bayern Munich have had to be patient with Lukas Podolski, who has delivered one goal in the tournament so far. Milan, given Ronaldo's ineligibility, were without a striker who could score against Celtic in the last 16 tie. It took Kaka to break the deadlock in extra-time.
There are still delights in the Champions League, but it is unwise to expect that forwards will make the spine tingle. Maybe a thrill-seeking Abramovich should be scouting for a virtuoso midfielder like Kaka.

Nobody cared to listen to Gary Pinkel. The Missouri coach, a 22-year head coaching veteran, knew that's how life goes for men in charge of 5-7 teams. "Last year we went into a new league, and when we were struggling, the injuries, I don't care how many we had, it didn't matter," Pinkel said. "It was, 'The SEC overpowered them.' That was just the take and everybody ran with it." The Tigers had won at least a share of the Big 12 North three times since 2007 and played for the Big 12 title in 2007 and 2008. After the 2012 season, Mizzou packed its bags for the SEC. In the inaugural season, Pinkel was home for the postseason for the first time since 2004. By the end of 2012, Missouri was left with redshirt freshman Brad McNulty at center. Quarterback James Franklin, then a junior, was in and out of the lineup, leaving the Tigers to depend on redshirt freshman Corbin Berkstresser to seize control of the offense. "Our offensive line was decimated. I've never been a part of anything like it," Pinkel said. "And then our quarterback got hurt and he's in and out. Combination of both and we had trouble getting a first down." At season's end, Missouri had lost a total of 23 offensive starts to injury, according to college football guru Phil Steele. Only five teams in America lost more. "It was probably the toughest season I've ever had coaching," Pinkel said. "I don't care how many injuries we have. I didn't get it done. But for all the success we've had here, it was a very, very difficult year." For Missouri, none of that seemed to earn much sympathy. In addition to the injuries, three of Missouri's losses came by one possession, and five of their seven losses came to top 10 teams. "We were respected nationally, and now all of a sudden we're not anymore. 'The SEC overpowered us,'" Pinkel said, with his tongue firmly planted in his cheek. A year later, Missouri's earned back respect with an 11-1 regular season and a trip to the SEC title game after winning the SEC East in just its second season in the conference. It happened because Pinkel wasn't willing to chalk up poor health to dumb luck and looked closer during the offseason. A slave to practice data, Pinkel and his staff analyzed the hitting periods during fall camp and the season in recent years and determined there might be too much contact in practice. He also cut down on conditioning in August. The biggest change came when he eliminated two-a-days during fall camp to keep his players fresher. "Sometimes we'd joke around, 'Oh man, I wish we didn't have two-a-days,' but (then he's) actually suggesting, 'Hey, what about not having two-a-days.'" Franklin said. "He's really gone out of his way to accommodate the players this year, and that's really helped us." Along with changes in the practice schedule, Pinkel instituted smaller changes like allowing players to listen to music in the locker room before practices and allowing more time for players' meetings without coaches. "People enjoyed going to practice this year compared to last year," offensive lineman Justin Britt said. "It's become more of a fun atmosphere, rather than a workplace." Being healthy (mentally and physically) isn't just about being on the field for Saturdays. Pinkel saw his team improve from September to October and then go 4-0 during a pressure-packed November stretch with the division title on the line. His new approach is a big reason why. "Now did that solve our problems? That was part of it," Pinkel said. "If you go out there and you're limping around and barely making it through practice just to get to the next game, it's very difficult to improve." During that run of three division titles from 2007-10, Pinkel admits he may have taken his team's health for granted. The lesson of the past two seasons is simple. "Do everything you can to keep your team healthy," Pinkel said. The groundwork Pinkel laid while winning 48 games in the five seasons before the 5-7 campaign in 2012 helped the Tigers bounce back and earn the respect they lost upon their SEC entrance and flop during the inaugural season. "There was this mission starting with the seniors that we've got to get Missouri back to where it should be. And not just winning 7 games and go to a bowl game," Pinkel said. "These guys are in. Our veteran guys came back last year and said, âLet's go, coach. We win.'" The team responded to practice schedule changes and saw the staff making tweaks without changing the program's foundation, built on what Pinkel learned from his mentor, Don James, who coached him at Kent State and hired him at Washington, where Pinkel was an assistant in 1976 and from 1979-90. "We worked really hard and built a lot of chemistry in the offseason. This is probably the closest team I've been on," linebacker Andrew Wilson said. Tweaking the practice routines helped Missouri stay healthy and spawned some of that camaraderie with morale high despite the losses. "And I think we were also lucky," Pinkel said. While Missouri stayed healthy, division rivals Georgia and Florida's training rooms seemed to have more talent in them than the actual depth chart. The Tigers' only real competition in the division, South Carolina, upset them at home on Oct. 26 to end a perfect 7-0 start, but Pinkel's team won its final four games to capture the division title. "We knew our potential as a team, but you don't really know until you get in games," Wilson said. "We started winning games and confidence and momentum grows and we kept it going." Nobody expected Missouri to suddenly start winning conference titles after being shut out in 16 Big 12 seasons, but few thought even division titles were possible, especially in Year 2. Next season could be the first that the Tigers are picked to finish in the SEC East's top three. Missouri didn't reach the Big 12 title game until its seventh season under Pinkel, but division titles became the norm after it did. In 2013, Pinkel and Missouri showed that could still be the case. "They built back that respect right away," Pinkel said. "Not two years from now, not slowly, but right away. My guys did it. My players, my staff. They did a great, great job."

Weapon specials descriptions.
Each weapon has their own speacial moves. i think there should be descriptions with each weapons about their specials, because it can be hard to understand the effects. such as the L1 +triangle of the cerberus blade. does it increase damage, defense, magic, etc?
Re: Weapon specials descriptions.
I agree, we should get an idea of what we're getting before we get it.
also, I think we should get a private practice arena (when I get a new weapon or magic, my 1st chance to use it is in real combat, and so for the first few encounters I have no idea what I'm doing)
we should be able to return to the temple at the beginning of the game freely (not only for a practice arena, but also to freely switch god alliances) - or even better yet, the temple at the beginning should be the area you customize your warrior, and when you enter the portal at the front of the temple, you enter match options
Re: Weapon specials descriptions.
i agree better descriptions with each weapon/gear/etc also the return to or even starting at temple to test on different combinations seems liek a must.
Re: Weapon specials descriptions.
Exactly! We need to be able to return to the temple at the beginning for practice fights. During these practice fights, we should receive a kind of walkthrough explaining what all the colors are during combat (or maybe just include that in the walkthrough at the very beginning)
Re: Weapon specials descriptions.
Or we'll just have to make a list, as for answer to Athena, I THINK it makes health regen cause an enemy started regening health as soon as he did the move(he did not use item/escape either), hammer of Zeus seems to charge it with electricity then can be discharged(haven't personally used), Blade of Zeus is chargeable for 3 shockwaves. I don't know what barbarian hammer does yet
I love Leia, especially the way she extends my staff
Re: Weapon specials descriptions.
As for the Blade of Athena, L1 + Triangle regens your health and the health of any teammates in the aura.
Re: Weapon specials descriptions.
Hey guys, sorry for all the confusion about this. We're working right now on getting UI improvements in that allow full descriptions for all of the weapons, and the unique specials/properties that come with them.
Definitely appreciate your patience! On a side note, it's cool to see people discover the effects on their own and help each other out. We know it's really confusing though, hopefully they'll be online shortly!
Re: Weapon specials descriptions.
Thank you so much for this! I was so confused on what they all did - even after I used them.
Example: I had a suspicion that athena's blade healed, but I wasn't sure
(I didn't even know we could hold the L1 attacks until I came to this thread)

Starting an engine. It should be easy, but sometimes it isn't. Each engine has a starting procedure or drill. The reason for this is that cold gas does not vaporize well. Gas will not burn unless it is in a vapor form. The colder the engine is, the harder it is for gasoline to vaporize. Bush pilots who have crashed in the Arctic report that gasoline will not start a fire in forty below zero temperatures. In fact, you can put a lit match out in it. Fortunately, we usually do not have to start our bikes at forty below but we do have to start our engines when they are cold. For this reason most engines require a richer then normal fuel mixture to start from cold. A hot engine quickly vaporizes fuel from the carb. Because a cold engine doesn't vaporize gas as well as a hot one, you must put in a larger quantity of fuel to get enough vaporized gasoline to start the engine.
Motorcycle carburetors have either an enriching circuit, a choke or a float plunger.
- If you have an enriching circuit type carburetor the starting drill is this. Turn on the ignition and fuel, pull the enriching lever or plunger, leave the throttle closed, and hit the starter button or kick start the engine. If you open the throttle any it will prevent the enriching circuit from working properly. Sometimes the plunger will be activated by a lever or a cable.
If you have a choke type carburetor the starting drill is this. Turn on the ignition and fuel, put on the choke, open the carburetor throttle 1/8 to 1/4 and hit the starter button or kick start the engine. The choke can be operated by a lever or a cable. Sometimes, the choke lever will have a spot to attach a cable too.
If you have a carburetor that only has a float plunger, you will need to hold the plunger down till the carb floods. Then open the throttle about 1/8 to 1/4 and then kick or hit the button. Some carbs will have both a choke and a float plunger.
This will start most engines. As an engine ages and piles up the miles you may need to vary the starting drill just a bit. Perhaps open the throttle a bit more or less. Open it for one kick and then close it. You will just have to experiment with each engine.
Older British twins like Norton, Triumph, and BSA require a staring drill that is just a bit different. Turn the gas and ignition on but don't put on the choke. With your thumbs, push the float plunger on the side of the carb (also called a float tickler) down and hold it down till your thumbs become wet with gasoline. Now open the throttle about 1/8 of a turn and kick. My Norton 750cc twin would always start within three kicks using this method.
If you put on the choke or enriching circuit and find that you have put too much extra gas into the engine, flooding it, you can clear the engine by opening the throttles wide open and cranking the engine. This creates a zero vacuum condition in the throat of the carburetor. That means only air, and no gas is drawn into the engine. This, in turn, will clear the excess gasoline out of the engine.
- When you rebuild an engine all the parts are new and rough and don't really know each other very well. Because of this, a new engine may be hard to start for the first time. With a fire extinguisher close by, try a small squirt of gas, from an eye dropper, down the spark plug hole. Reinstall the spark plug and it should start. You can use starting fluid, but you need to be very careful and NOT use too much. Same with gas. Just a small squirt. If it doesn't start, find out why. Don't keep pouring more gas or starting fluid down the engine. If you do, a stray spark could end up blowing the exhaust pipe off or setting fire to the engine!
Sometimes you will run across an old two stroke engine that will only start with a squirt of starting fluid. Often, the engine will continue to start for the rest of the day as long as the engine does not get too cold. The next day, with a dead cold engine, you have to use starting fluid again. This usually indicates worn out seals.
Most of the big single cylinder motorcycle engines now come with electric starters. This makes life a lot easier unless we have an older engine with only a kick starter. These engines will usually have a manual compression release. The idea behind the compression release is this. If the position of the piston, when you start, is just after top-Dead-Center of the compression stroke, when the engine is turned, it will go through the exhaust and intake strokes easily and come up on the compression stroke with as much kinetic energy as possible. This makes starting much easier and more likely to happen.
To start these older engines (made before 1978) push on the kickstarter until you feel the engine come up on the compression stroke. Now pull the compression release lever and continue pushing on the kickstarter till it just goes over Top-Dead-Center of the compression stroke. Set the choke and throttle where you want it and give it as hard of kick as you can. Hang that rear end of yours out to give some extra leverage and really give it a kick! If it doesn't start... do it again!
Most of the big singles made after 1978 (give or take a year or two) have some sort of automatic compression release. When you push the kickstarter a cam attached to a cable works the compression release. Some engines have both an automatic compression release and a manual one.
If you don't have a kickstarter and your electric starter fails, you only have one choice... push start it. The drill is this. Put the engine in second gear. This will allow the rear wheel to turn the engine over easier. Now pull the bike BACKWARDS with the clutch engaged. You will feel the engine turn over and then the rear wheel will lock up from the engine compression. This means that the piston is just past Top-Dead-Center of the compression stroke only in reverse. This is right where you want to be. With the ignition on, choke and throttle set, pull the clutch lever in and start pushing. Push as fast as you can. When you are going as fast as you can push jump onto the bike and let go of the clutch. You want to release the clutch exactly when your rear end hits the seat. You can land side saddle or straddling the bike. If the engine starts, pull in the clutch lever, keep the engine running, seat yourself properly on the bike and off you go! If it does not start, you will have to reset the engine and try again. On a big bike you can work up quite a sweat doing this! It helps if you can push down hill.
Some of the four stroke engines in four wheel ATVs have a compression release lever right on the cylinder head. You turn the lever to set it and then pull the pull starter cord. If the engine does not start with one pull, you have to reset the compression release and pull again.
Here is something to be aware of on small, kids type, four wheel ATVs. If the kids report hard starting, check the choke. Some of them have spring loaded chokes. That is, the choke shaft has a spring that keeps the choke closed. A lever pushes and holds the choke in the open position for running. If this spring breaks, the choke plate will not firmly close, if at all. The choke appears closed but is not. Mostly kids use this type of ATV. They will crank and crank on the electric starter overheating it and burning it out. At $200 a starter, this is not a cheap fix. So keep an eye on those choke shaft springs.

Me and my wife spend 4 days at Milan staying at the flat. The location of the flat is very convenience, close to central station from where you can take bus to Malpensa airport and main trains put of Milano like Venice, Como lake etc. Alos the shopping area is a short walk about 20 minutes which we didnt bother. Walking around the town is better rather than taking taxis and busses. You get to know the city better and see all shops. Near the flat is the big skycryper of Unicredit and a small financial center. Is the area where you can see all new skycrypers and new buildings. There is also a near supermarket at the near plaza which is very cheap. The decoration of the flat is very old which looks better from wimdu pictures. Its one bedroon flat with living room , kitchen and bathroom. Bedroom is a reasonable size with retro furniture. The wifi was not working and ask the landlor to fix it. Till the day we left nothing happened. Wonder if they have fixed it. Looking back to old reviews some others had the same problem and now i wonder if they ever had a workable wifi. We had one set of towel each with not replacement. The bedroom was very well climate with the central heating working all day. Hot water was 27/7 however we had a bit of problem is shower. Hot water could not stay all time same tempreture which was annoy. Also when another person was using other water tap the water was becaming very cold. Windows was very old single glase and difficult to open or close. TV had many channels including some english ones. Bed sheets was not clean so we asked for fresh ones who have provided. The landlord claimed that the sheets were cleaned but they offered fresh ones. Overall cleanless of the flat was not up my standard if i compare with a hotel i would say a 2 star bedroom. If you dont mind the flat contintion but you prefer a good location then go for it. You get what you pay.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We had a nice stay. The water was cold and we sent a sms and it tok them 20 min ti fix it. Close to metro and Close to the things you want to se. 3 min to supermarket. 2 min to metro. I can recoment this Place.
A pleasant place to stay in Milano. 10 min walk from Central Station, service was good and informations helpful.
For questions answer mail was always quick and kind so no stress of organizing the trip. Room was clean stylish comfortable for short stay of mine.
Perfect location for city holidays. Recommandable!
The apartment was nice and clean and had working AC. It was nicely decorated and the beds were comfortable. A great thing was that the renters had put out different trashcans for easy recycling.
Another thing to mention was how sweet and caring the renters were! Really helpful, me and my friends were overall very pleased with this stay!
My daughter and her partner went to the appartment. Picking up the keys was easy and convenient. Location of the appartment couldn't be better, near the metro and supermarket. Inside it was really noisy, next to a heavy door that people banged shut. Two of the nights the neighbours upstairs moved furniture around for more than an hour around 2.30 in the morning it was terrible. When you are out all day walking you really need to sleep.
A nice little lamp would be cosy instead of the bright light.
We were 5 friends in Milan for a week-end. The appartment was perfect and well-located to visit both the lakes and the city center.
Filiberto is very easy to contact and accept that we arrive late.
fantastic clean and spacious apartment, excellent service

Precision Antibody Wins Contract to Develop "Gold Standard" Antibodies
Precision Antibody
Precision Antibody Wins Contract to Develop "Gold Standard" Antibodies
—Third contract awarded in NCI initiative to improve monoclonal antibody
reagents for proteomics research—
—Precision Antibody will develop high-quality, standardized, renewable
monoclonal antibodies to 20 cancer-related target proteins—
COLUMBIA, Md., October 27, 2009 — Precision Antibody™ has been selected as the antibody developer for a component of the National Cancer Institute (NCI)'s Clinical Proteomic Technologies for Cancer (CPTC), which is focused on improving the number and standardizing the quality of monoclonal antibody reagents available for clinical cancer proteomics research. The contract award is the result of a third solicitation for contract proposals from custom antibody suppliers as part of the Clinical Proteomic Reagents Resources component of the CPTC, whose mission is to develop high-quality, standardized, renewable reagents that are needed for effective proteomic analysis.
The contract is awarded to private companies through a competitive bidding process managed by Science Applications International Corporation–Frederick (SAIC-F), a wholly owned subsidiary of SAIC that operates the National Cancer Institute's leading center for cancer and AIDS research in Frederick, Maryland.
NCI's CPTC is a five-year, $104 million initiative to develop new proteomics tools and technologies that will accelerate discovery and clinical research in cancer. The antibody initiative of the CPTC's Clinical Proteomic Reagents Resource project was launched in late 2007 to address a major obstacle hindering the progress of proteomics research: The relatively small number of antibodies generated against proteins of interest, and their generally variable quality. The goal of the antibody initiative is to develop a standardized resource of very high-quality reference antibodies generated against cancer-related proteins of interest that will be made available to proteomics researchers, along with characterization data and other information intended to support replication and standardization.
"We are very pleased that SAIC-Frederick has selected Precision Antibody to contribute to this important initiative," said Jun Hayashi, Ph.D., Vice President of Precision Antibody. "Our goal is to rapidly develop and optimize antibodies for the target cancer-related antigens we have been assigned, which will help accelerate the NCI's creation of a public resource of gold-standard antibodies to advance proteomics research."
The terms of the contract call for Precision Antibody to apply its proprietary rapid antibody-generation technology to develop three monoclonal antibodies against each of 20 cancer-related target antigens produced by Argonne National Laboratory that have been identified to be of high interest to the cancer proteomics community. Other terms were not disclosed.
Following screening and initial characterization by Precision Antibody, SAIC-F will undertake screening and additional characterization of the antibodies. Techniques used in the rigorous characterization process may include ELISA and indirect ELISA, Western blot, antibody isotype, SDS-PAGE, surface plasma resonance, immunohistochemistry, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, and immuno-mass spectrometry. Final characterization will be completed by the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University and by the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, which runs the Human Protein Atlas, a comprehensive database that provides protein expression profiles for a large number of human proteins.
Once characterized and produced, NCI's final renewable, highly characterized, high-affinity antibodies and their producing hybridoma cells will be made commercially available to the research community through the Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank at the University of Iowa. To ensure that experiments can be both repeated and compared among researchers, detailed standard operating procedures will also be provided, along with characterization data that will be available to the scientific community via a web portal (http://antibodies.cancer.gov)

· Talking of killer bugs, we are indebted to the inevitable sharp-eyed reader for pointing out that we were quite wrong to assume yesterday that the UK is not at risk from the vile afflictions lurking in raccoon droppings. In the Disney film of Robin Hood, in which Robin and Marian are foxes and Little John is a bear, the reader rightly notes, a family of raccoons can clearly be seen frolicking in Sherwood Forest. Thankfully, however, we calculate that Nottingham is a mere 68.35 miles from Wolverhampton. So there is no call for panic quite yet.
· Here at the Diary, we had always believed that if there was one spot on this benighted isle that defined what Charles de Gaulle would surely have called une certaine idée de l'Angleterre, one community that exemplified the very notion of British gentility, one town that, above all others, would resist this nation's headlong rush towards vulgarity, binge drinking and over-skimpy underwear, it was Royal Tunbridge Wells. Has it not been visited by the aristocracy since the 17th century? Is it not the spiritual and indeed actual home of Disgusted of? So we learn with consternation that in the very heart of the town's Victoria Plaza shopping centre it is possible to buy a Madame Fifi costume, a Spanking Kit and even, apparently, a Rampant Rabbit: Ann Summers has come to Tunbridge Wells. When we ask if this does not mark the end of British civilisation as we know it, Maxine in Ann Summers' press office insists local protest subsided as soon as residents saw the store's all-new "girly, feminine, approachable" design, with chandeliers and Victorian wallpaper. We await Disgusted's response to one intriguing all-new girly design feature, however: the peepholes in the changing-room doors.
· How nice it was to see bouncing Jamie Oliver on the telly the other night, opening the country's first training kitchen for dinner ladies. The opportunities to rest our gaze on his cheery countenance are all too rare, the Diary feels. By way of humble encouragement, we can reveal what Son of Diary, aged four, will eat at his Paris state nursery school today: Roulade de volaille cornichon, Estouffade de boeuf aux olives avec sa jardinière de légumes, natural yoghurt or Port Salut cheese, and a selection of fresh fruits. Bon appetit.
· Extraordinary goings-on at the Telegraph, where a dirty word beginning with D has been used for what the Diary is assured is possibly the Very First Time. Respected media commentator Roy Greenlade, late of this very newspaper, has long endured the jibes and insults of the Telegraph for his suspected Irish Republican sympathies. Yet barely two weeks into his new job on that ever-entertaining organ, he manages to sneak in the word "Derry" into his column. Naturally, we congratulate him. But heads may yet roll.
· And so, tastelessly, to Moscow, where mourning relatives can now enliven the funerals of their nearest and dearest by scattering their ashes over the city from a special spring-release bag attached to a bunch of balloons. The process is simple, cheap and could help deal with the problem of overcrowded Moscow graveyards, Yevgeny Zhukov, one of the inventors, told Moskovsky Komsomolets. Mr Hickman, we are sure, will be interested.

There's no question why baby animal photos go viral — they're adorable. But do they have a purpose other than giving you the warm and fuzzies? Science says yes. Researchers at Hiroshima University conducted a number of experiments on the topic, including one in which participants were asked to look at pictures of baby animals, adult animals, or appealing food. The intention was to investigate how cute animals—in this case, the baby ones—would affect subsequent job performance, and the results were clear. "Viewing cute things improves subsequent performance in tasks that require behavioral carefulness," the researchers wrote.

The summerhouse party
... days meatfest.
It was a lovely little house just outside of Sorocaba with a pool, football pitch (ofcourse) and lots of mango trees. It was quite nice to just walk up to it and yank a ripe mango of the tree for breakfast.
For brazilians this might be nothing special but for a pale gringo from sweden.. well :)
No surprise that most of the time was spent eating, alot. The grill was smoking non stop as the meat, sausage and chicken spits ...
A day at the zoo.
... we have at home.
The weather was nice but not ovenheat sunny which made it a little more enjoyable as we strolled around the park.
When it closed we spent the evening at a slow pace as we had to get up early the next day for the ride to the airport.
Happy New Year!
2012 is coming to an end, and i got to experience my first Brazilian NYE party.
In sweden you gather at the designated party around 18.00 and maybe eat a little and drink alot.so youre fine and dandy when its time to light the explosives.
This year the eating didnt start til 23.00 and minor drinking but we did enjoy the exploding stuff atleast :D
It was a pleasant evening with some mingling and lots of laughs, heres to 2013!
Pics to come :)
Further down the rabbit hole..
... later, some shots and IV i was miles and miles better than i was when i arred to the hospital.
I no longer feel like a trainwreck but atleast im recovering well enough to maybe add something worthwhile to the blog ;)
Next up, NYE in sorocaba. and then Fortaleza!
Brief stop and xmas gift delivery!
The bus ride took us to Sorocaba which would be our base of operations for a few days.
A beautiful house inside a guared area.
Managed to stock up on some water and food before we left by car to our next stop for some business Ju had to attend.
To Campinas!

The Fifth Member
Tears clouded Aella's eyes just as much as her thoughts blurred the "real world."
"You're a freak."
"You don't belong here; get out!"
Aella walked downstairs, a small duffel bag hanging from her shoulder. Her tears dropped onto the floor as they escaped her eyes, warming her cheeks further. Children could be so numb; putting each other down without a second thought.
"What are you doing here?"
Aella could be numb, too.
She could leave all of this behind.
The wind gave her a quick chill as it blew in through the open door.
"And never..."
One foot out, then the other. Aella's old life would be a thing of the past.
"Come back!"
She was fully out of the door now, and with a quick sigh she started to run. With each breath, her home was further behind. The desolate streets were a pleasure to her eyes; no one was there to stop her.
Her head pounded as her feet did, and a quick look behind her showed that no one was coming after her. No one was stopping her.
Aella was different than the others. It had all started with the amnesia. On this day one year ago, she had survived a car crash. But her memories hadn't. The doctors diagnosed her the very next day, and her instincts were the only things that remained.
She had to re-learn to walk and to talk. She had to re-learn how to write and read, but most of all she had to re-learn how to really understand humans. She had the ultimate innocence; none of it was spoiled. Aella trusted everyone.
The girls at school quickly befriended her. Everything Aella saw, she loved. Everything she heard delighted her. Every taste was new. She was like the foreign exchange student, the one they wanted to introduce to everything. But like all young children, they lost interest. The girls finally left her.
And her innocence was left broken. Everything she saw reminded her of her lost, every sound was an annoyance, and every taste was mundane.
She had no one to talk to. She had tried to talk to one of her former best friends that day.
"Leave, now! And never come back!"
The quote haunted her. It was her breaking point.
Now Aella would never come back.
Finally, Aella became aware of her surroundings. She was in a thick forest. Sounds of laughter surrounded her, and she tightly closed her eyes.
"Stop! Please!" Tears ran down her cheeks. Finally, she opened her eyes and looked ahead. A building rose high in front of her. It reminded her of a sanctuary; it called her, beckoned her forward. Trying to catch her breath, Aella walked towards the sanctuary.
A smile crossed her pale face. She felt like she belonged here. Wiping her tears, she came to a small door and knocked.
"Anyone home?"
