Ahhh, Friday. Is there anything more glorious than knowing the weekend is about to begin and you can unshackle yourself from the 9 to 5 doldrums and have some fun?
Whatever you have planned for this weekend I hope you have a smashing time!
As a new feature at Wealthy Turtle, I've decided to make Fridays a little more fun and relaxing by sharing some of the cool stuff I find during the week.
I figure I'll share my Top 3 reads of the week (usually related to money but once in awhile I'll toss in something just for fun) and a video or something else that caught my eye. Every week will be different so don't forget to check back each week, and make sure you follow me on Twitter.
This Week's Top 3 Reads
How Depression Threatens Financial Well-Being – I've had the pleasure of meeting Luke Landes a couple times and his Consumerism Commentary blog is one of my favorites. In this article he discusses various ways depression can have a negative impact on your finances.
The one that really caught my eye was how depression affects spending. He mentions that some people who are depressed use shopping to give themselves a short-term high feeling to temporarily mask their emotional pain.
Back in 2000-2001 I was stuck in a horrible job that I hated. Everyone there was overworked, overwhelmed, and miserable. Everything we did was criticized and no matter how hard I worked it was never enough. Although I was always swamped with work, I often took a short 30 minute ride at lunch-time just to "escape" the misery.
There were plenty of stores and restaurants nearby and I'd often find myself walking around Best Buy or Target and inevitably spending money on things I didn't really need. I bought a lot of movies and books just because it made me feel good for a little while and I figured small purchases like that couldn't hurt.
But before long I realized I was spending way more money than I should on things that didn't give me any long-term pleasure. Fortunately, I was able to identify WHY I was buying all that stuff and that helped me be more judicious in my spending. Instead of going to the store to walk around I began going to a local park to "escape" and recharge.
Even better, I got the hell out of that job and never looked back!
Len Penzo's Annual Cost Survey of 10 Popular Brown Bag Sandwiches – Lots of people expound the virtues of brown bagging, but it takes someone special to go the extra mile and actually bring some hard data to the table.
I did something similar awhile back when I compared prices at a number of retailers to prove that Costco almost always has the cheapest price around when adjusted for unit size.
In this article Len compares the cost of popular lunch sandwiches including Peanut Butter & Jelly, Ham & Cheese, Egg Salad, and Bacon, Lettuce, & Tomato. He tracks the cost per serving as well as the percentage change from the previous year. Plus, he has been doing this since 2009 so you can see the year-to-year trend for each lunch…what happened to BLT's in 2011??
How to Become an Expert On Anything – Despite her lack of traditional qualifications and professional training, Stefanie O'Connell has established herself as an authority in the personal finance blogosphere. I'm a regular reader and I'm amazed at how far she has come so fast.
In this article, Stefanie describes the qualities that have led to her success. Notably, she doesn't mention anything about faking it until you make it. I think that's important to mention because so many people try to fake their way to the top only to sadly realize they can't pull the wool over their readers eyes for long.
Instead, the qualities Stefanie describes are about transforming yourself into an expert by continuously learning and putting your own creative spin on topics that have covered a thousand times already. If you can embrace those qualities you'll do far better than some know-it-all who always thinks he has all the answers.
Friday Video
Finally, news of Robin Williams' death was certainly sad. But let's take the opportunity to celebrate his career and enjoy one of his funniest stand up routines. Enjoy!

Global Competition Recognizes the Craftsmanship of Mixologist-Bartenders
A masterbrand plays a huge role in dictating cocktail culture around the world
Diageo has a reputation for making massive efforts to showcase and reward the world's top mixologists. Besides their Bar Academy, they have also been running World Class for six years, a competition that has grown to be the World Cup or Olympics equivalent for mixologists and dedicated bartenders. At its core, World Class is an education program for some 11,000 bartenders from 50 countries whom are brought together once a year to compare flair, creativity, skills, and charisma in competitive, public setting.
One bartender is awarded the title of DIAGEO Reserve World Class Bartender of the Year. This year's World Class cocktail judges included top-industry names such as Dale DeGroff, Peter Dorelli, Salvatore Calabrese, and Julie Reiner. With the finals having taken place this weekend, Chicago's Charles Joly from The Aviary was crowned the Diageo Reserve World Class Bartender of this year. According to Edelman PR,
Charles mesmerized the judges from the very first cocktail but it was his unique and show-stopping signature serve that will help cement his name in cocktail history. His signature cocktail Above the Clouds, crafted for the final Punch and Glass challenge, blew the judges away. Throughout the week Charles consistently proved his winning credentials to the esteemed panel of judges that included legends and luminaries of the cocktail scene.
A deep-dive sample of the contestants is featured on the World Class Tumblr page, where the observers can find out more about the challenges facing contestants, all of which feature DIAGEO projects in fine drinking contexts. The blog also functions as a broad resource for consumers to learn about the world's top bars, recommended drink recipes, and participate in the World Class Final week with masterclasses and cocktail-themed events, ultimately recruiting more consumers into a culture of fine drinking.
This year we bring WORLD CLASS to life in a pop-up house for cocktail enthusiasts in central London. The world's greatest mixologists and best brands will be showcasing their wares, from Mexican speakeasy basement bars by Don Julio to Art Deco inspired bars from Tanqueray No. TEN. We'll also be running different sessions and seminars for guests, one of which is called BC (Before Cocktails). Part edible exhibition, part bar, part museum, this will feature the things that inspired modern cocktails, whether it's Shakespeare's favourite drink, a modern recreation of 'water for melancholie.'
Cementing Bartending as a Form of Craftsmanship
By capturing the oftentimes performative processes of how various mixologists work, World Class accentuates the artistry and craftsmanship that goes into a good cocktail. Upon winning the award, Mr.Joly reflects this sentiment in a statement where he says:
This journey didn't start today at the ceremony, this week at the finals, or even last year when I entered the heats – it started many years ago when I first started working in a local bar. The flavors, the smells, the sounds, the techniques, the history, the theater – I realized I did not want to create just another drink. I make drinks with my heart and it makes me happy to see customers happy. The possibilities open to a bartender are limitless, not just in terms of your career but your creations – the only limit is your imagination.

There is no law preventing such an action. The mother must take care of the child and assure no harm comes to the child as a result of the boyfriend being there.

An experimental vaccine grown in tobacco plants against deadly Ebola hemorrhagic fever protected more than 80 percent of mice given a lethal dose of the virus, and may protect humans as well, researchers said.
The vaccine, unlike previous experimental vaccines, is also stable enough to stockpile in case of bioterrorism, according to the study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The next step is to test it in nonhuman primates.
Ebola, first identified in 1976 in Sudan and Zaire, which is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is among the most lethal diseases known to humans, according to the World Health Organization. Some species of the virus cause deaths in as much as 90 percent of all people who are clinically ill. Once a human is infected, there is no cure.

The Epsom Park Horse Racing track was situated in Mordialloc. Now a housing estate, in its heyday at the beginning of the 20th century it was one of Victoria's premier race tracks. Later in life it became a training track before being eventually closed in the 1980s. In 2008, Doug Denyer Reserve, situated in Epsom Park hosted it first ever cricket season with Mordialloc Redbacks being the home team, Redbacks being a part of the Mordialloc Cricket Club. The Redbacks first Junior Head Coach at Epsom Park was David Beckett.

For starters, I am pro immigration reform, so this is not meant to be a primer on breaking the law or something in support of illegal immigration.
Anyway, except if one catches a MAJOR case, s/he can live in this country from now till kingdom come and have no problems with immigration ever.
As it is, ICE (Immigration and Custom Enforcement) or whatever its called can't even secure the borders in the North or South, talk less of figuring out who is who within the country.
In fact, if the average person wants to come into the States illegaly, even that is not a problem, all they have to do is go over to Mexico, cross the border at any porous point (and there are thousands of miles of porous points), and voila they are in.
America being what it is, even without paper, they will still get the best medical attention in the world, their kids will still go to school, and if they can't work, the state will pay them welfare. Yup, illegal immigrants... SMH
Anyway, as to the folks behind this darn movie, I guess they had to make a movie about something, so why not do fabu oloje to play on the sentiments of those who don't know any better...

Bowa to Speak to Broncs
College Baseball
Larry Bowa Coming to Rider
LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ-Former Philadelphia Phillies player, coach and manager Larry Bowa will be the guest speaker at Rider's third annual "First Pitch Dinner" on January 29.
Bowa, who was cut from his high school team and went undrafted out of junior college, went on to win two Gold Glove Awards and led the National League in fielding percentage six times as a shortstop with "soft hands, strong arm and fiery personality."
Bowa retired with the NL record for career games at shortstop (2,222) and the major league records for career fielding percentage (.980) and single season fielding percentage (.991 in 1979) and was among the career leaders in assists (sixth with 6,857) and double plays (fourth, 1,265).
"We are excited to have Larry Bowa as our guest speaker," said Rider head coach Barry Davis. "His career speaks for itself and I am honored that he will take the time to share some of his baseball experiences with us as we celebrate our 2010 MAAC championship."
Bowa was a switch-hitter who batted .280 or better four times, including .305 in 1975, and also had nine seasons of 20 or more stolen bases. He batted .316 in the NLCS and .375 in the World Series in 1980 as the Phillies won the World Championship.
Bowa managed the San Diego Padres and was the Manager of the Year with the Philadelphia Phillies. He has also served as the third base coach for the 1993 National League Champion Phillies, the New York Yankees and the LA Dodgers.
The Dinner will be held January 29 at Mercer Oaks Country Club. A reception with Bowa, where fans can get autographs and have their pictures taken with him, will be held from 7pm to 8pm, prior to the dinner.
At the dinner the 2011 Rider baseball team, the defending Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference champions, will be introduced and will receive their 2010 Championship Rings. There will also be an auction and raffle.
Tickets are $150 for the reception and dinner, $100 just for the dinner. Corporate tables are available.

The creation of the new domain could set off a gold rush and create headaches for businesses wanting to protect their brands.

The events and developments of the past six months in Africa have demonstrated that the rise of social media has not only revolutionised the business environment, but also redefined the political scene by shaking the foundation of dictatorship, lack of service delivery and corruption for the first time since the dawn of independences.

A billion Africans and 50 million bank accounts. In South Africa, credit cards are used by only 16.5% of the population (2008). No African country comes close to 1% of total retail spend spent online - the magic figure which constitutes the tipping point for digital retail growth. No wonder, then, that the ecommerce market in Africa hasn't bloomed.
Herman Manson 12 May 2011
A global study conducted by TNS Research Surveys shows that South Africans' unconditional love for handsets - more than content as it is in developed markets - is beginning to change and will even shift faster as bandwidth improves, and as cheaper smartphones appear on the market - probably from China.

Google Instant search is annoying for some, and useful to others. One fact does remain - it runs on the same search engine and the search results are exactly the same. The difference it brings is in how the user reacts to the results they see.

The recent global recession has changed our world forever. In a new digital age, characterised by oversupply and too many product types in almost every market, the challenge for companies will be to locate and capture pools of high-profit demand and be able to move with speed and flexibility to take advantage of them. Here are 11 trends for 2011.
Gisèle Wertheim Aymés 18 Jan 2011
If 2010 could be summed up as soccer, vuvuzelas and national pride, 2011 will be all about the hard work of restoring the economy to sustainable growth, paying attention to environmental concerns and mastering the technologies that are changing the world. Here are a few trends to watch in 2011.

The fledgling partnership of Air Canada Cargo and Cargojet came up roses in its first joint foray. In May Cargojet flew one of its B767 freighters to Bogota to load up with flowers in time for Mother's Day.
It was a fit that suited both partners. Air Canada had recently reduced its capacity to Bogota, so Cargojet could provide the additional lift to have a strong go at the flower surge that comes with Mother's Day. On the southbound leg Canada's largest all-cargo airline was carrying mostly freight that Air Canada had hauled across the Atlantic from Europe.
The partners intend to build on this in the months ahead. "We are looking at a number of opportunities this summer," says Jamie Porteous, executive vice president of sales and service at Cargojet. "A couple of opportunities in Mexico and South America" are on the radar, he added.
Cargojet, which generates the lion's share of its business hauling express traffic across Canada for the large integrated carriers, has been steadily building up its charter business. "We doubled our ad hoc charter revenue every year over the past three years," Porteous says.
The cargo airline is getting a significant boost in its capacity, as it virtually doubles its lift. Over the past couple of months it has leased or acquired a number of Boeing 767 and 757 aircraft, some of them in passenger configuration that will be converted into freighters. According to Porteous, it will have added six, possibly seven, B767 freighters to its line-up by November 1. In addition, it is procuring three B757Fs, of which two are due this year and the third in the first quarter of 2015.
The fleet expansion is in preparation for the seven-year contract with Canada Post to provide nationwide lift for the postal agency's traffic, including volumes of Canada Post subsidiary Purolator. The $1 billion contract kicks in next April, but the agreement stipulates that Cargojet should have the capacity in place by the fourth quarter.
With the new planes entering the picture, Cargojet has ample capacity to operate charters, especially before next April. Moreover, unlike now, the 767s will not all be stationed at the carrier's home base at Hamilton. Some will be operating from Vancouver and Calgary, which will give the airline more flexibility to respond to charter demand in these markets, Porteous says.
He is looking to ramp up his sales force and is considering hiring a person with a strong focus on the charter segment. "Our charter business has been strong with two 767s," he remarks, adding that customers have indicated that they anticipate a strong peak season this year.
Not everybody is bullish. Charter demand has been erratic, notes Ron Buschman, managing director of Calgary-based charter broker and airline GSA Aerodyne. Some months this year have been above expectations, whereas others were disappointing, he reports.
Moreover, he has noticed a change in direction. Traditionally most charters out of Alberta were outbound, but nowadays the majority are coming into the province, for the most part carrying equipment to the oil sands, he says.
Stan Wraight, executive director of Strategic Aviation Solutions International, predicts that Cargojet will control its exposure to the charter market. "Their priority is with the overnight linehaul. They won't do anything to jeopardize this," he comments.

The annual awards celebrate imaginative and funny research in science, medicine and technology.The scientists were praised ?for discovering that some people would be physically capable of running across the surface of a pond - if those people and that pond were on the moon?. The research was first published by Plos One journal in 2012 and caught the judges attention for the 2013 awards.?It is clearly funny and once you know about it it?s hard not to want to know more,? Marc Abrahams, the prize organizer, told The Local.?They were trying to figure out that if gravity on earth was less strong than it is, what would you be able to do?? he said.The thought was striking and ?almost unimaginable" but was proven by the scientists with a pair of flippers and a paddling pool, Abrahams added.Abrahams went on to say that in order to test their theory, the scientists had to go through the "enormously goofy kind of slapstick engineering," with a man in flippers suspended above the water in a giant baby bouncer. The flippers helped the person imitate the Basilisk lizard, famed for running on water, while the baby bouncer enabled scientists to adjust the person?s weight. Though the experiment looks highly entertaining, it also proved a scientific point.Concluding their findings, the scientists said that ?a hydrodynamic model of lizards running on water can also be applied to humans, despite the enormous difference in body size and morphology?.As a result, if an athletic human happened to find themselves by a pond on the moon, where there is less gravity, they would be able to walk on water.source Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tulisa Contostavlos: Album Signing Fun in Birmingham UK
Showing some love to her English fans, Tulisa Contostavlos showed up at a promotional event in Birmingham, United Kingdom earlier today (December 3).
The former N-Dubz singer looked to be in great spirits as she signed copies of her new album The Female Boss at Tesco Xtra in Swann Shopping Centre.
As for her past relationships with famous gents, Tulisa explained that having a limelight romance is not all it's cracked up to be.
"It can be suffocating. They don't let you have a personal life because they make assumptions about it from the second they find out anything about it. It's like they are living a made-up story or their version of your personal life before you actually get to love it."
"It's a lot of pressure [but] fortunately, and unfortunately at the same time, I don't really have dates. If I get into something with someone I've got to be pretty clear from the start that this is serious, otherwise it's just not worth it."
Enjoy the pictures of Tulisa Contostavlos at her album signing in Birmingham, UK (December 3).

Want to build your new data center faster, better and cheaper? Try containerized, modular data centers, says The Green Grid (TGG), a group dedicated to advancing resource efficiency in data centers and business computing systems.
The Green Grid, which introduced its Carbon Usage Effectiveness (CUE) metric last year, just released a report on using containerized and modular data centers (you can download the full report here). The report, authored and edited by member companies of The Green Grid, points to the increased use of containerized and modular systems and how this trend is resulting in a faster deployment, lower operating and capital costs, and the potential for higher density and energy savings. The report also delves into the various aspects an organization should consider during the planning, design, deployment, operations, and decommissioning phases of their data center facility lifecycle.
I've covered modular data centers in this blog already. You can read here about Orion, a New Zealand utility whose data center was damaged by the deadly earthquake in that country last February, a magnitude 6.3 quake that left 181 people dead and billions of dollars in damage. The company turned to a modular data center system to replace what it lost.
These modular systems are typically data centers packaged together in portable, standard forms and include server racks, power and cooling units, redundant power supply hooks and even networking gear. Generally speaking, a modular data center can be fully functional yet built in a pod-like form, transported to any location and set up in weeks or even days, and can be built to meet the specific requirements and support multiple technology vendors and multiple systems in an industry standard rack environment. Should additional capacity be required in the future, more of the pod-like containers can be added.
TGG's report adds that a containerized or modular data center facility separates some or all of the core facility areas of a traditional data center into discrete, prefabricated components that are assembled at the target location, and not that the modular center is a "set of one or more prefabricated and pre-engineered metal buildings (PMBs), along with any optional and required building infrastructure equipment (which may or may not be PMBs)."
There's plenty more detail in the report that further delineate the differences between traditional data centers and containerized or modular ones. But the information I think is particularly interesting is the section discussing ownership and contracts. I say this because these new types of facilities will require organizations to rethink the ways they write contracts and craft ownership models.
For example, the report points out that a traditional data center with a raised floor may be depreciated over 15 or 20 years, while a containerized facility may depreciate on the same schedule as the servers it houses – which, of course, is a vastly different depreciation model. The report goes on to describe three different containerized or modular ownership models. There's the conventional model, in which an organization owns both the containerized facility and the IT equipment within it. In another model, the organization could lease the containerized from the manufacturer, (a decision that might make sense for an organization that expects to add servers over time rather than deploying a fully populated facility, the report notes). The third model described is one in which an organization's IT resources are fully outsourced or virtualized to cloud and hosting providers on an SLA basis, and those hosting providers use containerized facilities. In this case, according to the report, the containerized facility is "abstracted from the customer organization, just as a physical server is abstracted from the end user in a virtualized environment."
There's plenty more information in the report, and I think it's a good starting point for companies that may be considering containerized or modular data centers. Take a look.

TV Mount on Metal Studs - What hardware is necessary?
I recently purchased a wall mount as I wanted to try it in the bedroom with my 32" TV to see how sturdy and reliable it is as I am planning on using the same one for my 55" TV in the living room. The mount is rated to hold 175 lbs and can hold 27" to 60" TVs.
Well anyway I marked the studs and got to drilling, and started putting up the mount, let me tell you doing it by myself has been a pain (I just moved to a new city and I don't know anyone here.) Well anyway the lag screws that came with the mount are 3" long and with about 1/4" to go they wouldn't go any further and just keep on spinning without getting stuck on anything like I would expect.
So anyway did some research and somehow shined a bit of light through the 1/4" hole I drilled and noticed metal within the wall. Looks like they are metal studs in there, hence the screws wouldn't go any further when they hit the metal studs.
I live in a high rise condo, one of the more expensive ones, so opening up the wall and adding support is not an option, as I've read from a few forums. Also, people are suggesting using drywall anchors, which doesn't seem to be provide enough support for a 30 lb wall mount. Also, I've read that I can use togglers but I have no clue where to find them or how to install them. Also, I would need to drill holes in to the metal studs, no?
I was just wondering if someone could provide me a brief checklist of what I will need to get the job completed?
The mount may be rated for 175#, but the wall may not be rated for that if you intend to hang something heavy. There could also be damage on the other side of the wall or the load may deform the wall, cracking the drywall joints. The studs my just be the light gage wrinkled tin studes mean for partitioning/separating and not much more.
Check with the owner or association to try to find out if the wall can take that load. - In any case, you will definitely drill into the wrinkled tin studs.
Molly (tm) bolts or toggle bolts would be suitable. These must go into the metal studs, not just into the drywall between studs. Have two near the top of each bracket, and about two inches apart, others further down can be spaced further apart. Drill more holes in the bracket if needed for this.
The entire mount should span at least two studs. Use 1x4 or wider wood horizontal cross strips fastened to the studs and attach your TV bracket, if narrower, to that.
"Three inch lag screw wiith 1/4 inch to go" puzzles me. Metal studs, as well as wood studs, would be 3/4 inch or less inside the wall surface. You may have hit something else like a heating duct or, worse, a water pipe.
Yes, you drill the holes for the Molly bolts into the metal studs first.
I question the use of 3 inch lag screws anywhere except in concrete. Wires and cables in the wall need be just 1-1/4 inch behind the edge of a stud which means slightly less than 2 inches behind the wall surface. For wood studs, use two 2" screws instead of one 3" screw.

Government lawyers have travelled to Portugal to meet police and prosecution officials to discuss new leads in the Madeleine McCann inquiry.
The trip is the first time that lawyers from the Crown Prosecution Service have visited Portugal in connection with Scotland Yard's £5 million review of the case.
Home Secretary Theresa May is now expected to announce a full-scale Yard investigation into the disappearance of three-year-old Madeleine in May 2007.
London's chief crown prosecutor Alison Saunders and her deputy Jenny Hopkins flew to Portugal in April to meet counterparts to discuss leads identified in the Met's review.
Last month the Standard revealed that detectives had identified a list of potential suspects. Detective Chief Superintendent Hamish Campbell, who supervised the review, said there were a "good number" of people who should be questioned as well as "further forensic opportunities".
The list is thought to number around 20, including Britons. The potential suspects are thought to include a handful of known child-sex offenders who are believed to have been in the Algarve when Madeleine disappeared.
The visit by senior CPS lawyers underlines the belief among senior detectives that the case could be solved.
Portuguese police led the search for Madeleine after she went missing from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz while her parents dined nearby.
The investigation was shelved in 2008 but the Yard launched a Home Office-funded review in 2011 after David Cameron intervened at the request of Madeleine's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann. The review team examined hundreds of thousands of documents from the Portuguese investigation and enquiries by a private detective agency employed by Madeleine's family and identified 195 potential leads.
A full Yard investigation would allow police to interview suspects in Britain though they would seek the assistance of the Portuguese to carry out any enquiries there.

Sermon: "Pride Goes Before a Fall," Conclusion
While snowboarding down a hill, a woman was well ahead of her competitor, and on the last jump before the finish line decided to show off a little bit. As so often happens in sports, she didn't land properly, and ended up on her face while her competitor slid past her to the finish. Pride comes before a fall: we have heard that so often, but perhaps we don't appreciate just what that means for us. Watch as Pastor MacLaren shows from the prophet Isaiah how an ancient king fell from the soaring heights of his pride into the depths of the grave itself. This sermon was preached on August 2, 2009, at First Presbyterian Church (Orthodox Presbyterian) in Perkasie, PA. To learn more about the church, go to our website at www.firstchurchopc.com.

After ruling, court freezes its decision in White case
BATON ROUGE - The First Circuit Court of Appeals announced, hours after it ruled in a twenty-year-old sentencing case, it would freeze its decision and re-issue an opinion dealing with Stanley White of Ascension Parish.
The case involves White, who pleaded guilty to killing an eleven-week-old baby in a crash on Airline Highway in 1994. Prosecutors said he had been drinking. But, White never had to report to prison to serve his two year sentence because of a mistake with paperwork.
White remained free for more than fifteen years before the issue was realized, White was called back to court and a judge in Ascension Parish suspended White's two year sentence and placed him on probation instead of making him serve time. The state appealed, arguing White should serve time in prison and the First Circuit Court of Appeals listened to arguments in January.
Monday, the court reversed the probation and ordered the original sentence of twenty-four months in prison be reinstated. But, Tuesday, the court said it found an error in Monday's ruling and will have to re-issue the opinion.
An attorney for the Attorney Generals Office, who is handling the prosecution instead of the local district attorney, said there is no time frame on when a new ruling would be available.
White's attorney said he plans to appeal the ruling, should the court suggest White return to prison.

snow blower issues?
Had to get the snow blower out for the first time this week since last year...
started it up, ran one pass then died... started it back up ran a minute died... kept doing this... started to get darker smoke from the exhaust... drained the gas put new in, same issue... went to drain the oil, which is 5W-30, it came out with the consistency of water! brown and runny as water... drained it completely, put all new 5W-30 oil in which was drastically more viscious and it works fine again...
what would make the oil turn like this? Something wrong somewhere?
Left outside uncovered and water ran into the exhost or air filter would be my first guess.
Did it also smell like gas? If so it's common to have the float stick and flood the carb, which can run over into the cyl.
Just a couple of thoughts, but first of all, I'm guessing that it is a little chilly in central PA right now, which means that your 5W30 oil is closer to 5W, and 5 weight oil is pretty thin, so the fact that it runs like water, is not necessarily indicative of a major problem. That is unless of course it smells like gasoline, as Joe suggested. Second, again, just guessing, but last winter was pretty mild overall, so maybe you didn't use your machine as much as you normally would, and had two year old fuel in the tank, not just one year old. Again, just a couple of thoughts. Regardless though, it definitely sounds like bad fuel, so, since you have already changed the fuel, I would remove the bowl and check the float, as Joe suggested, and spray every nook and cranny of the carburetor that I could reach with carburetor cleaner. I'm not big on additives, but, in this case, I would also put some Sea Foam in the fuel, so that it can get sucked through all of the crevices that you don't reach with the carb. cleaner. And, you probably already have this covered, but your spark plug is going to very black and close to fouled right now, if not already there.
Would have been best to smell the oil when it came out but if the machine was running poorly before and stored with untreated gas, I think you have the source of the problem right there.
If there's any way possible from now on only use non ethenol fuel or at least add the additive that treats ethenol fuel do so.
Since I've been using non ethenol fuel I've had 0 issues with any of my gas powered equipment.
Mine died today...again. It starts on the first pull, runs rough and dies after a pass or two. Starts again after a bunch of pulls but dies again after a pass.
Fresh gas, cleaned carb, new plug, fresh oil. Next storm same problems. Dragged it over near my fire pit and dumped oil and gas on it and torched it. Sat back in my lawn chair with a glass of Irish whiskey and laughed like a lunatic while watching it burn!
I will never own one of these infernal pieces of crap again. Tomorrow morning I'm buying a Fisher plow...and another bottle.
Most likely the needle valve in your carb was sticking open, was essentially flooding the engine, and so much gas was getting sucked in that it ran down past the piston rings and into your oil.
The oil needed to be changed, but you still probably need to clean your carb. At the very least, drop the carb bowl & clean it out, and spray carb cleaner up into the underside of the carb.
You'll be fine. :thumbsup:
99.9% of the time it's a fuel related problem. Bad gas, plugged carburetor, plugged filter, water in gas, dirt.....etc. It's always about fuel delivery.
Run the fuel out at the end of the season and pour some stabil into the tank. Drain the tank and the bowl in the spring and use fresh gas (not the gas left over from last year) You can always add some 2 cycle oil to any gas, what's a little smoke. It helps lubricate the fuel system and help prevent the usual varnish build up. Start the equipment in the off season if you don't drain the gas at least 2 or 3 times unless you want to take the carb off and clean it.
The problem isn't that gasoline contains ethanol, the problem is that ethanol absorbs moisture out of the air, and that fuel systems on small equipment do not have sealed systems so it is easy for that absorption to take place. Once it has, the fuel is contaminated. Ethanol is also a solvent, so any gunk that found it's way into the fuel system gets lifted off by the ethanol and finds it's way to the carbuerator.
