it was idling and the belt broke (timing),it bent a few valves - Visitor
Answer 1
I believe this is an interference engine, which means your valves have hit the pistons. This will require a tear down and inspection to see the extent of the damage. So at a minimum your looking at an estimate for a head gasket replacement and rebuild the head to repair the bent valves. - Visitor

From ballads to Rule, Britannia!
Sunday's Prom will replay the Last Night from 1910. Jessica Duchen looks at how the institution has changed
Thursday 02 September 2010
Cross the Proms' two most popular fixtures – the Last Night of the Proms and the Doctor Who Prom – and you might just end up with the event that's taking over the Royal Albert Hall on Sunday afternoon. It's a recreation of the programme you would have heard had you attended the Last Night of the Proms 100 years ago, in 1910.
It's also a rare opportunity to glance at the musical roots of the Last Night itself, an occasion that annually provides a healthy dose of controversy, being pilloried for jingoism with its bawling of "Land of Hope and Glory", "Jerusalem" and "Rule, Britannia!".
It may come as a surprise to learn that those associations, and most of the music, have built up in relatively recent years. The sole stalwart of 21st-century Last Nights that was included in 1910 is Sir Henry Wood's Fantasia on British Sea Songs, penned in 1905 so still relatively new then. Its final section is "Rule, Britannia!" – strictly in context. The programme includes an Elgar Pomp and Circumstance March, but it's not No 1 (which contains the melody that became "Land of Hope and Glory") but No 4. And you might be startled to hear that Wagner's Kaisermarsch was a popular inclusion on such a night, just four years before the First World War.
Today we see flag-waving and explosions of patriotism as redolent of a time gone by, but, as the conductor Paul Daniel, who will be on the podium for the performance, points out, much of that supposed time had already vanished by 1910. "Queen Victoria had gone; Edward VII had died in May that year; the British Empire was in decline," he says.
"It's almost possible to look at Elgar's career as a touchstone for the national mood. In 1909-10 he'd turned away from the enormous confidence he had in 1908. It was a mark of the times; you can hear an undercurrent of anxiety in his compositions by then, especially the Second Symphony, which was premiered in 1911. People were unsettled by it: here was the country's most popular composer giving them music they couldn't understand."
The zeitgeist was receding from the blazing confidence of the late 19th century towards the shadowy insecurity that led up to 1914 and the outbreak of the First World War. Then, as now, the Last Night of the Proms offered a chance for a little escapism. But the differences between the Last Night then and the Last Night now don't only reflect changes in music.
The first thing you might notice about the programme is its length: a good three hours. Before music was universally on tap via the media and recordings, people had a much greater hunger for the live concert experience. Then there's the variety. Chamber music is heard alongside works on a symphonic scale, and the second half includes a light ballad by the now almost-forgotten Dorothy Forster.
Roger Wright, director of the Proms, says that popular ballads often used to drift out of music halls into the Last Night of the Proms: "Dorothy Forster's "Mifanwy" is a popular parlour song, and this was typical of the way 'lollipops' would be dropped into the second half after more heavyweight fare before the interval. A fabulous variety existed in concert programmes in those days," says Wright. "I think we're in danger of losing that variety in our more formulaic concerts nowadays, which is why I've been trying to break the formulas, to change the format and involve interesting juxtapositions of works. It can make you listen to music in a different way."
New music featured in Sir Henry's Last Nights, as it did amply throughout the season. Sunday's programme pays tribute to Wood's passion for the best of the new by including a world premiere for today: Dark Pastoral by David Matthews, which is based on the surviving fragment of a lost cello concerto by Vaughan Williams. It will be performed by the cellist Steven Isserlis. The piece takes the place of a work by Max Reger that appeared in the 1910 line-up; perhaps no composer in the programme has fallen quite so far out of fashion as that contrapuntal German (though I think he will soon be ripe for "rediscovery").
What about the audience? Should we take our teddy bears and football rattles? According to Wright, knowledge of 1910 Last Night audience behaviour is relatively limited. "We know that they promenaded about a bit; and we know that they smoked," he says. "Those things were part of the concert-going of the time. But we don't know exactly how they might have dressed for the occasion, or whether the atmosphere would have been quite as carnival-like as it has become."
This year's musical time-travellers have a feast in store, and all without charge: it is this year's Free Prom, making the afternoon a combination of not just two but three favourite events. As with all Proms, there's no dress code; crinolines and flags are optional. But, please, no smoking.
Last Night of the 1910 Proms, Royal Albert Hall, London SW7 (0845 401 5040) 5 September, 2.30pm

The struggle of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Can Kazakhstan become a world power?
28 Nov 2010 12:31 GMT | Politics, Asia Pacific, US & Canada, China, North Korea
China has called emergency talks with North Korea, in a bid to diffuse tensions as United States and South Korea begin joint military exercises in waters west of the Korean Peninsula.
China suggested talks between the six governments involved in stalled negotiations aimed at ending North Korea's nuclear programme.
South Korea responded that it will consider the resumption of international talks "very carefully".
The military exercises, which began on Sunday, came less than a week after North Korean shells rained down on the tiny island near the disputed maritime boundary and killed four people.
An official from US forces-Korea said that the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS George Washington had joined the four-day exercises.
North Korea responded by placing surface-to-surface missiles on launch pads in the Yellow Sea, the Yonhap news agency reported. It said the state had moved surface-to-air missiles near frontline areas.
North Korea has promised a "merciless military counterattack" against any intrusion into its territorial waters, the country's official news agency reported.
Leonid Petrov, a lecturer in Korean Studies at the University of Sydney, told Al Jazeera that the military drill was "a rather risky undertaking," given the unresolved dispute over the waters. Politicians should be placing more emphasis on dialogue to cool the tensions, he argued.
"Of course rather than talking, negotiating, giving diplomats an opportunity to discuss the future development of co-operation and exchange, we see that the military is given the full reign in sorting out the issue," Petrov said. Artillery fire?
South Korea's military later said that explosions - possibly the sound of artillery fire - were heard on Yeonpyeong Island on Sunday.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said that what is believed to have been a round of artillery was heard on Sunday from a North Korean military base north of the sea border dividing the two Koreas. It was not immediately clear where the alleged round landed.
Residents of the island were ordered to take shelter in underground bunkers, but that order was later withdrawn, according to Yonhap, a South Korean news agency.
Dozens of reporters, along with soldiers and police and a few residents, headed for the bunkers, where they remained for 40 minutes.
"The order was lifted when no more sounds were heard," a spokesperson for the South Korean defence ministry said.
Al Jazeera's Marga Ortigas, reporting from the South Korean capital, Seoul, said that military leaders had said that the military exercises were taking place "nowhere near the contested area" between North and South Korea in the Yellow Sea.
Games go south
Officials say the drill is now being held 120km south of the contested border. There is no explanation about the change in location.
"We don't know if this was some intentional change of location in some way to try to not send out signals of provocation to North Korea or if indeed they might say it was exactly where it was meant to be in the first place," she said.
Lee Myung-bak, the South Korean president, warned ministers and aides to be ready for further "provocation" by North Korea during the drill.
"There is the possibility that North Korea may do some unexpected action, so please perfectly prepare against it through cooperation with the Korea-US joint force," Lee was quoted by a spokesman as saying.
Nerves are also high on the South Korean mainland, where the population is being advised to seek shelter in the subway in the event of open conflict.
"The population of South Korea understands that things are getting tense," Petrov said.
'Ensuing consequences'
China has warned South Korea and the US that it "could not be responsible for what North Korea might do" if they went ahead with the military exercise, according to Al Jazeera's correspondent.
"The Chinese have made it very very clear that they didn't want these drills to occur at all," Ortigas said.
China sent senior officials including Dai Bingguo, the state councillor, to a meeting in Seoul on Sunday.
South Korea's Lee told the visiting officials that China must take a "more fair position" on the Korean Peninsula.
The Chinese delegation agreed with South Korea that the situation was "worrisome" and that it would try to stop it deteriorating, according to Chinese media.
The US military said the exercises, planned long before Tuesday's attack, were designed to deter North Korea and were not aimed at China.
"We've routinely operated in waters off the Korean peninsula for years," Darryn James, a Pentagon spokesman, said.
"These latest provocations have been by the North and they need to take ownership of those, not us."
But Petrov told Al Jazeera that attempting influence China to change its stance on its ally is a dangerous game to play.
"It is pointless to pressure China to put more pressure on North Korea," Petrov said.
"The decision of the United States to send the [USS] George Washington nuclear carrier might really thwart the opportunity for President Hu Jintao to visit Washington in January and that would be a really bad development."
He said that Washington and Beijing were in a position to find a solution to the issue, if a more co-operative and less interventionist approach was taken.
"Wouldn't it be better to give the opportunity to the Korean Peninsula to stay nonaligned, independent, nuclear free?" he asked. A top North Korean official is scheduled to visit China on Tuesday, the Xinhua news agency reported.
Choe Thae-Bok, the chairman of North Korea's Supreme People's Assembly and a close confidant of Kim Jong-il, the country's leader, was invited by Wu Bangguo, China's second most powerful official, the report said.

24 Sep 2012 00:22 GMT | Politics, Middle East, US & Canada, China, Iran
Syrian opposition figures who reject foreign intervention in the country's 18-month conflict have called for the removal of President Bashar al-Assad at a rare meeting in the nation's capital.
Sunday's opposition conference was attended by diplomats from Iran, Russia and China, Assad's main international allies.
The loose network of Syrian rebel groups and the political opposition outside Syria believe Assad will not carry out reforms or a peaceful transfer of power, and some have called for foreign military intervention to break the stalemate in the conflict.
The United States and its allies have refrained from such action, partly because of international divisions over Syria and fears of a wider conflict.
The opposition figures who met in Damascus said they were open to the idea of a political settlement, even though the conflict so far has eluded all attempts at mediation.
Tight security around Damascus
Assad's government tightly restricts criticism in areas it controls, and security was tight for Sunday's one-day conference at a Damascus hotel, attended by dozens of people. Streets leading to the hotel were blocked off, plainclothes security agents patrolled the perimeter and participants passed through security checks.
A bomb hidden in a black bag exploded on a footbridge in downtown Damascus, close to the Four Seasons hotel, about a kilometre from where Sunday's opposition conference was held.
Two people suffered slight injuries, witnesses said.
Sunday's meeting was organised by the National Coordination Body for Democratic Change in Syria, or NCB, an umbrella for 16 opposition groups.
On Thursday, two senior NCB leaders disappeared after landing at Damascus International Airport, along with a friend who was to pick them up, and the NCB has blamed the government for the disappearance.
The government claimed the three were kidnapped by "terrorist groups", a phrase it uses to describe rebels.
Despite the incident, the group said participants agreed on the idea of "overthrowing the regime with all its symbols" while emphasising the need for "peaceful struggle to achieve the goals of the revolution".
"It's our right to meet here in the capital to express our views without being subject to dictates and pressures or to be forced to make concessions," said Hassan Abdul-Azim, the NCB's head, who spent years in Syrian prisons for his role as an opposition leader.
The strong language may be aimed at gaining credibility among Syrians who do not support the government, but are also weary of a conflict that has descended into civil war in many areas.
NCB leaders, most of them traditional leftists, accuse the rebels and the Syrian National Council, a political opposition group based outside Syria, of being beholden to Turkey, which shelters defected Syrian generals and opposition figures, as well as Gulf Arab countries that support the rebels.
The rebels, in turn, accuse the NCB of being cut off from grassroots opposition fighters on the ground. Many rebels look askance at any political plan short of Assad's immediate removal, seeing it as a play for time.
The statement emerging from Sunday's conference called for an immediate ceasefire accompanied by the full withdrawal of the Syrian army from towns and cities and the release of all political detainees and kidnapped people.
This would be followed by the start of negotiations between the opposition and representatives of the Syrian government on a peaceful transition of power, it added.
The scenario outlined by the participants is similar to a six-point peace plan proposed by Kofi Annan, the former international peace envoy to Syria.
Azmat Allah Kolmahmedov, the Russian ambassador in Damascus, praised the conference, calling it a "direct implementation of the process of reforms launched by the Syrian government, including the freedom of expression."
Opposition bases hit
Meanwhile, government aircraft bombed opposition bastions nationwide on Sunday as rebels said they now controlled most of the country and had moved their command centre from Turkey to "liberated areas" inside Syria.
At least 40 people were killed, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, as aircraft carried out strikes in central Homs province, Deir Ezzor in the east and areas of Damascus.
Apartment blocks in Albu Kamal, a town in oil-rich Deir Ezzor province, were targeted as rebels and soldiers battled on the ground in several districts of the town on the Iraqi border.
"The insurgents are trying to wrest control of this strategic town," said Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman. Losing Albu Kamal would be "a deadly blow for the regime", he added.
Helicopter gunships opened fire on the Damascus neighbourhoods of Barzeh and Qaboon as well as the suburb of Harasta, while troops pounded rebel areas in Aleppo in the north and neighbouring Idlib and Deraa in the south, the Observatory reported.
As the fighting continued unabated, Colonel Ahmad Abdul Wahab of the Free Syrian Army said the regime's aerial superiority was the only thing preventing the FSA from taking control of the capital.
"We control most of the country. In most regions, the soldiers are prisoners of their barracks. They go out very little and we can move freely everywhere, except Damascus," Abdul Wahab said.
"With or without outside help, the fall of the regime is a question of months, not years," he said.
"If we had anti-aircraft and anti-tank missiles, we could quickly gain the advantage. But if foreign countries don't give us these, we will still win. It will take longer, that's all."

THe lockout should have gone longer until they ironed these problems out. Now
Stern will be drilled no matter who Chris Paul goes to. Where are the Hornets
going to get a better deal than the one Stern turned down?
The Lakers have a flair for the dramatic and they were going to do something huge, something the Jazz admin only dreams about.
The owners want to be able to keep players they draft but they did not get that in the agreement so for the rest of the life of this current contract the players legally should be able to go where they can be traded to.
The drama helps make up the league, too bad Stern got weak-kneed and turned the whole deal down. Were I the Lakers I would be furious with the commissioner.

I'm not sure what problems in this way needed to be sorted out by the lockout. The only problem here is the league (meaning each other owner) owns and controls the Hornets. That creates a conflict of interest. In such a case no owner will side with helping the Hornets or one other individual team. That owner needs to look out for the interest of its own team. Thus the trade was negated. This is similar to last year when the Hornets were negotiating deals with players and the owners complained. If they have control of course they will let the Hornets suffer. It's in their interest to do so. The problem isn't that this happens, but that only now people are complaining and seeing it as a problem.

Lets red-shirt Paul for a year and put him on ESPN! Then we make Stern coach of the Hornets and and have him see pro-ball from that perspective. Then we want be seeing that awful cheesy smile of his! That guy drives me NUTS!

O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

Aquamarine micro faceted rondelle 3.5-4mm
The strand is nicely faceted but it lacks color and luster. What gives the strand it's color is the blue string running through it. I will be returning it. I could have just gotten a bad strand because the other reviews on these aquamarine rondelles were excellent.

First time I ordered this item, it got lost in the mail. It came with a tracking number, but I was not given this information by the seller until asked, and by then it was too late. I sent message after message to the seller until finally they agreed to send me another, I just had to pay for shipping. I finally got the second package, and the beads are beautiful. I suggest that the seller relay tracking information to their buyers as soon as they can, to avoid a mess like this. I hope that the initial lost package gets returned to sender somehow, as I would like to get a refund for both of us on our shipping costs.

Odey Asset Management's Crispin Odey may have backed the U.K.'s Conservative Party at the country's last general election, but he doesn't have any faith in the man who that party's victory made prime minister.
In a letter to clients, Odey first damned David Cameron with faint praise, calling him a "good and fair man" and "charming company, too." But, the hedge fund manager warns, his is "no man to see the way out" of the U.K.'s and Europe's economic crisis, taking the premier to task for his decision to implement the Vickers Report, which would impose strict new regulations on British banks.
"Economic problems remain strictly exogenous as far as he is concerned," Odey wrote of Cameron. "By implementing the Vickets Report he is committing the U.K. to the depressionary future of Europe, without any sense of what that will do to his government's ability to fund itself and fulfill the woefully over-inflated expectations of his voters."
By contrast, Odey had nothing but praise for the U.S.
"A banking system that is profitable, a growing loan book, asset prices that are cheap enough to encourage sensible investment and an energy policy, which allows fracking, has given the U.S.A. a marked global competitive advantage—cheap energy," Odey gushed. "At a time when other economies are turning away from market solutions, the U.S.A. still believes 'just' in the good sense of markets."
He was no kinder towards Europe—and particularly new French President François Hollande, who declared the "world of finance" his "enemy" during his successful campaign—than he was to his own prime minister.
European authorities "need literally to print €4 trillion, which they will not do, thus making any recovery almost impossible," he wrote. "Meanwhile, an attempt by governments to spend their way out of a recession without a working banking system is as useless as a car on a boat."

Friday Stupid: What Do Shakira's Hips Say On Illegal Immigration?
OK, OK, everyone is entitled to have their say. This is America, after all, so, whatever she has to say must be super important, right?
Grammy Award-winning singer Shakira has joined the growing chorus of opposition to Arizona's new immigration law.
Because that Grammy means quite a bit when it comes to American politics, giving her the base knowledge to discuss the issue which CNN misrepresents yet again.
Shakira met with leaders Thursday in Arizona Thursday before talking about the issue on CNN's "AC 360." She said some police and lawmakers in Arizona are worried about how the new law will be implemented.
"The mayor is very, very worried, as well as the chief of police here," Shakira said. "They're both very worried about the impact that implementation of this law will have on Latino families, the level of abuse that will be inflicted on Latinos, with or without papers."
"I just met with some families and women who have been subjected to domestic violence, and they are so concerned," the singer said. "They're going to live in fear to call the police or to report a crime that has been inflicted to them. They're trying to protect their kids and their own families from abusers. and now they're going to have to protect themselves from the government."
Or, they could go back to the country they came from, if they are illegals. Problem solved!
The Colombian singer said when she was in Arizona on Thursday, she thought about how the new law would affect her.
"If this law was already in effect today, for example, I could be detained and arrested and taken away because I don't even have my driver's license here. I 'm completely undocumented here," Shakira said.
Wait, Colombian singer? Oh, that's right, Shakira is NOT an American citizen. She is Colombian born, and lives in the Bahamas. And if she's undocumented, then she is in violation of the law that was put in place in the 1940's. I'd mention what the laws are regarding immigration to Colombia, but, they are almost non-existent, since people are mostly leaving Colombia. The Bahamas? Citizens must be offered most jobs first. You must purchase a work permit. If you do not get one, you can be prosecuted. You must carry your papers with you at all times, even if just on vacation. If you want to become a permanent citizen, you must show your good character, ie, not a criminal, and prove that you have financial support, ie, you won't become a ward of the state.
Anyhow, there is video from the singing chipmunk (that's what she sounds like to me) at the link.

Who is it??
upon the house of a young woman with whom he fell into mad love.
He knocked on her door and from within the house her voice called
out : "Who is it ?"
"It is I", said the young man.
"Go away", said the woman, "There is no room enough in this house
for two of us".
Devastated, the young man went away and did much penance, prayer
and meditation. Later he returned and knocked on the door.
"Who is it ?" came the voice from inside the house.
"It is you".
The door opened.
