Finally decided to try and get rid of my 750 Commando but first I wanted to see inside the motor to check all is well before offering it for sale, the engine had allegedly only done around 8000 niles from new.
Just before the head was unbolted
Off it comes
Might as well have the Barrells off as well
All is revealed, very clean and no wear at all
Even the bores and followers are unmarked
So thats it then, a front bolt missing from the head and a gasket which looks like its seen better days and apart from that very happy with the rest. Going to try to get the head blasted and cleaned up then build it again, hopefully it'll run sweet after that then the dilemma will I sell it or not Hmmmm

Having started my blog in February 2012, I have experienced a steep learning curve in terms of WordPress, social media and content writing. As an inexperienced blogger, I had a many reservations about having my writing online as well concerns about the mechanics of publishing posts through WordPress. Although I am far from mastering the features of blog posts and social media integration, I believe I have come a far way in the past 7 months.
Here are some basics I learned along the way:
Using Widgets
For me, "widget" was just a word made using "witch" and "midget" until early this year – however once I created my blog it became clear that widgets are one of the most important features that bloggers have to familiarize themselves with. Simply put, widgets allow you to include different details into your blog, including twitter feed, category menu and the "follow" button. You can find the widget menu within your WordPress Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets. These features allow you to make the most of every space on your blog, including sidebars and the footer.
Search Engine Optimization
Everything is a business – including the internet and blogging. Irrespective of whether or not you are blogging for profit, you are blogging to be heard, to establish your online identity and to share your knowledge/opinions. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a procedure that allows bloggers to influence the position of their blog within search engines (e.g. Google, Bing and Yahoo!). By using keywords, or familiar terminology, you are able to increase the chances of your blog being picked up by search engines. So if "Content is King", SEO is definitely its Knight.
Tags on Posts
Tags go hand in hand with SEO. WordPress enables bloggers to use specific words/phrases as tags in order to be indexed in search engines. They are specific keywords that you want your blog post to be found for. By using tags in every single blog post you publish, you are increasing the chances of that post being found in search engines. For example: for a blog post about Twitter and blogging, I would use the following tags: Twitter, social media, tweets, social network, blog, content, publishing and so on.
Twitter Integration
As a blogger who has a full time job, it can be difficult to dedicate time to socially promoting your content so we try to use easy and fast mediums… enter Twitter. It is easily my favorite social media platform because it is simple, quick and effective. The best thing is, you can integrate it as a widget into your blog, enabling visitors to follow you and stay up-to-date with your blog posts. One software that I found highly useful is TweetDeck. This allows you to schedule posts over a period of time therefore you do not have to spend hours on the social website.
Bitly for Links
Sharing is caring – it is what we are taught from an early stage and it is forever timeless. If you don't share your posts through email, social media and other platforms, it is unlikely that they will generate organic (unpaid) hits. Bitly enables you to shorten the URL of your blog post to a simple 20 characters, instead of 60-70 character long. This is really useful for Twitter and TweetDeck. When sharing your blog post, you should use a link shortner as long URLs tend to scare people in clicking them.
Taking on Blogging, One Post at a Time…
So here were some of the things I have picked up in the past 7 months. The WordPress blogging experience is unparalleled by any site, and other bloggers are continuously supportive and offering help – which makes it an excellent community. It can be overwhelming at times as it is slightly complicated if you aren't familiar with the software, terminology and features. Hopefully one day I will have mastered the art of blogging, but until then I will keep sharing my wisdom with other through my blog.

Hey, so how 'bout that not review that I wrote yesterday? I just felt like I needed to spend a little more time with the album before I started writing, so it should be up by Thursday at the latest. Until then, you should totally check out this video for this really edgy band named Tilly and the Wall. It's for a song called "Pot Kettle Black" that really makes you wanna go out there and whoop up on some ho skanks! It's totally hardcore! *rolls eyes*

Rossi students raise funds for Wounded Warrior Project
Vineland Mayoral candidates Ruben Bermudez, Anthony Fanucci and Robert Romano sit down with The Daily Journal to talk issues before election day. Part Five: Downtown.
VINELAND – Relying on speed and strategy, the Pink Ninjas team claimed victory Monday at the Rossi Intermediate School "Divide and Conquer" tournament.
A favorite gym class game that combines flag football and just about everything else has evolved over the past three years into a bankable Wounded Warrior Project fundraiser, said Jim Nickles, the school's physical education teacher.
"Each year, it gets bigger and bigger," Nickles said. "They get more and more competitive."
Students, who donate $3 to participate, form their own teams and enter the double-elimination bracket, facing off on the turf behind the school.
The friendly competition has raised more than $5,000 for the veterans' organization.
"We don't know how much we made today," Nickles said, adding the final tally would come after the tournament.
The goal was to exceed the record of $1,200, he said.
The Divide and Conquer game, where opponents must capture three cones from the opponent's side of the field, is so popular, the students want to play.
"It's just something we made up, taking some here and some from there," Nickles said. "The students love it."
Student Justin Gonzalez received a high-five on the sideline after a cone capture.
Divide and Conquer takes "athleticism, knowing how to play and running fast," he said in a rush, before racing back on the field.
The tournament is held in November to coincide with Veterans Day, said Nickles, a former U.S. Marine. There is also one scheduled in the spring as well.
Leading up the tournament, there is a focus on the veterans' organization so students know there is more at stake than just bragging rights.
Some staffers sponsor teams covering the participation fee for students.
Nickles got shirts for his crew aptly named "The Marines."
Tyrone Jamison, a seventh-grader, was named the MVP of the Pink Ninjas after his stellar three cone capture.
Although the tournament raises money for the Wounded Warrior Project, the Pink Ninjas painted pink ribbons on their team shirts to promote breast cancer awareness.
Although November isn't Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Annalisa Francheschini said they wanted to support the family and friends of the team who are in their own cancer battle.
"Cancer is something to always fight," said teammate Karleigh Herman.
The other members of the Pink Ninjas included Amanda McKeon, Morgan Allen, Giana Ruscica, Angelina Mainiero, Albert Parker and Jace Quiles and ambassador Ryan Suppi.

Mist On the Mountain; Bird on the Porch
We spent the last few days up on the mountain. It was hot and humid, but nowhere as bad as down in the city. And the mornings were spectacular.
One afternoon the heat started to get to me. I went up to the bedroom, turned a fan on full blast, turned up the radio and just vegged out. About an hour later I went back downstairs. "She Who Must Not Be Named" met me at the foot of the stairs. "Where were you?" she asked. "I was trying to call you!"
I wondered what was wrong? What had happened? It turned out this was what had gotten her so excited -- a hummingbird hovering on the side porch.
"She" was looking for my camera and couldn't find it. That's what the shouting was about. Finally she located it and got a few shots before the bird flew away. It would have been nice, though, if she had remembered to replace the lens cap and had bothered to return the camera to its case.

"Mel, I just wanted to let you know that since using Series 2K, our clients have more accurate information faster than ever before. Kudos to you, Nick and your staff.
Initially the clients were reluctant to switch since they were using a "top of the line" industry program. The reason we suggested they switch is that the old program required a staff of accountants who worked hand in hand with computer technicians to run the thing. Series2K is easy to learn and accurate - you don't need a degree to run it! Once the clients found out how much less information their staff had to input and balance they have been very happy! When we were reviewing the SOP, I heard a lot of "is that all I have to do? . . . with the other program I had to . . . wow, that's so easy! . . .does it really do that for me - automatically?". The new feature of auto transferring gas invoices is working out well. Another input item which can be taken off the "to do" list. The training you provide eases the pain of switching from one software program to another. When I can't remember something, you are just an instant message away. You have working knowledge of how things are supposed to work in QuickBooks - that certainly benefits all parties. When I think of a report to add, it seems to appear before I ask for it - which shows me your technical group is always working to improve the system. Nick was great in working with me to set up and get through the jobber process - putting up with my learning curve and me changing my mind on the way things should be posted - thanks Nick!
Don't forget, let me know when you are willing to tackle a few more industries that need a QB add-on!!"

...there are shopping bags all over your house, Starbucks puts your mocha in their Christmas cup with the pretty blue sleeve, and you find yourself developing the most efficient agenda to enable you to celebrate Christmas with multiple relatives in multiple states over a 36 hour period.
Christmas is in the air at the Stevenson household and I'm sure it is in yours too. Last Friday I had a Christmas party with mainly former BKD girls (and two who are still hanging on) at our friend Christi's house. My job was to bring the dessert, and I chose to make a carrot cake. After various problems, included expired baking powder, expired Baker's Joy, and just plain old bad judgment, at 11:30 on Thursday night the tally was: 2 ruined carrot cakes, 0 edible carrot cakes. Needless to say I hit the Panera on my way home from work on Friday hoping to pick up some brownies and shortbread cookies. They had no cookies and two brownies. I ended up with a holiday plate full of assorted breakfast pastries but it was better than nothing.
Christi, Lana, Ashley Carrie, and Candy
On Saturday we decorated, cleaned, put up the tree, etc. One project of the day was to make a lighted star that I found in Martha Stewart Living. Martha said to use 5 bamboo gardening stakes of equal length, but I used dowel rods. Come on Martha, let's not make this harder than it needs to be. You arrange the rods into a star and then secure all the inner and outer points with zip ties. Then I ran a string of lights up each side and secured that with zip ties too. Below are some pictures...I think it turned out pretty well...the star isn't quite as even as I had hoped but it was easy, inexpensive, and a lot better than the inflatable snow globe with Pooh and Friends down the street. I will try to post a picture of that house if I can get one tonight without being creepy.

Neither of these two shots look quite right to me...I'm thinking I don't know how to use the camera or something...

Mike Pence travels to Japan, South Korea as tensions simmer

DNC Press Release
Must Read: Bush Administration Ill-Prepared and Disdainful of the Facts
Washington, DC - As we learn more about the federal government's
delayed response to Hurricane Katrina, troubling questions have been
raised about ou r nation's preparedness and the ability of the
Administration to respond duri ng a national crisis. The Boston Herald
reported yesterday that "the federal official in charge of the bungled
New Orleans rescue was fired from his last private-sector job
overseeing horse shows." Worse yet, CNN is reporting today that the
Bush Administration is engaging in a campaign to mislead the public
about what federal officials knew before the hurricane hit and using
talking points that are simply "not true" concerning the federal
government's respon se.
CNN's Tom Forman reported today that
Homeland Security Secretary Michael C hertoff has made repeated
statements "in direct contradiction of the facts" g oing as far as
citing a deeply troubling example in which Chertoff claims the federal
government "rescued 10,000 people" while a press release from his ow n
Homeland Security department admits to having rescued "4500." The
American people deserve accountability in their federal government and
they deserve an answer from the President as to who is in charge in
this time of crisis.
Transcript (from Closed Caption)
TOM FORMAN: Homeland Security Chief Michael Chertoff continues to
say the power of Katrina could not have been predicted, even as his
department is accused of miscalculating the destruction and a
painfully slow response.
Chertoff: "It wasn't until
comparatively late, shortly before, day, day and a half before
landfall that it became clear this was going to be a catagory 4, 5
heading for the New Orleans area."
FORMAN: But, The national
hurricane center was warning of Katrina's growing danger four
Weather person: A vulnerable area of coast. If
it goes in the western quadrant we talked about the nightmare
FORMAN: Chertoff's own undersecretary, Michael Brown
of people mark discusses the storm's power and direct on the Friday
before the storm hit on Monday. &! lt;/p>
MICHAEL BROWN: The
hurricane center at its 5:00 forecast says those could be a category 4
by the end of the weekend. Tonight's Friday. All of those people
living all the way from Louisiana over to the Florida panhandle need
to think now about getting ready for what could be a very major
FORMAN: Katrina hit as a level 4 storm, dpak exactly as
brown described. But afterward, when FEMA's reliefers came under
criticism he said this --
BROWN: "I must say, this storm is
much, much bigger than anyone expected."
FORMAN: there's
more. Chertoff repeatedly talks about the hurricane and the break of
the levees in new orleans as if they are separate events, another
unpredictable one-two punch.
Chertoff: A devastating hurricane
followed by a second devastating flood.
is, of course an expected result of any! hurrica ne. And=
historically has killed many more people than high winds. Chertoff
admits fema knew the levees around New Orleans might be overrun by a
category 4 hurricane however --
Chertoff: "The collapse of a
significant portion of the levee leading to the fast flooding of the
city was not envisioned."
Reporter: but fema conducted a
five-day drill last year to consider a big hurricane hitting new
orleans. They knew the levees were bill to withstand only a category 3
storm. And that floodwater flowing over a levee is a predictable cause
of a collapse.
I will tell you, that really that -- that
perfect storm of combination of catastrophes exceeded the foresight of
the planners and maybe anybody's foresight.
Reporter: not
true. For many years, many researchers weather experters and
journalists have written in! great detail about what would happen if
a major hurricane hit new orleans. Their predictions were widely known
and now have prompt to be right. And secretary chertoff has continued
with the same tact this morning he's been on talk shows saying things
which all ecan tell in many cases are in direct contradiction of the
facts saying, for example they rescued 10,000 people in these
days. His own department, people mark put on -- homeland security put
out a press release that said they rescued 4500 people in three
days. Suddenly the number has doubled. This is going on and on and on=
. Keeps saying it utterly unpredictable. When he's pressed about
whether he or his director mike brown are doing their jobs and whether
nobody should lose their jobs in the whole process he keeps saying,
no, we're doing all we can in very difficult circumstances which
everyone acknowledges. But i do know, talking to ! northernens all
over the country friends from the past, others! who = r />called in,
many people are very, very angry about this and they're saying that
maybe some heads should roll, not for political reasons but practical
reasons. Talking about a disasterer that is ongoing, will be ongoing
for weeks and months. And they're saying why on earth would peep be
kept in jobs if they can't do the jobs? That's the accusation.
Tom, thank you. Tom foreman.

Brown pushed from last job:
Horse group:
FEMA chief had to be 'asked to resign'
By Brett Arends
Saturday, September 3, 2005
The federal official in charge
of the bungled New Orleans rescue was fired from his last
private-sector job overseeing horse shows.
And before joining
the Federal Emergency Management Agen! cy as a deputy director in
2001, GOP activist Mike Brown had no significant experience that would
have qualified him for the position. The Oklahoman got the job through
an old college friend who at the time was heading up FEMA.
agency, run by Brown since 2003, is now at the center of a growing
fury over the handling of the New Orleans disaster.
"I look at
FEMA and I shake my head," said a furious Gov. Mitt Romney yesterday,
calling the response "an embarrassment."
President Bush, after
touring the Big Easy, said he was "not satisfied" with the emergency
response to Hurricane Katrina's devastation.
U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch predicted there would be hearings on Capitol
Hill over the mishandled operation.
Brown - formerly an
estates and family lawyer - this week has has made several s! hocking
public admissions, including interviews where he sugge! said FEMA was unaware of the misery and desperation of refugees stranded at the New Orleans convention center.
Before joining the Bush administration in 2001, Brown spent 11 years as
the commissioner of judges and stewards for the International Arabian Horse Association, a breeders' and horse-show organization based in Colorado.
"We do disciplinary actions, certification of (show trial) judges. We hold classes to train people to become judges and stewards. And we keep records,'' explained a spokeswoman for the IAHA commissioner's office. "This was his full-time job . . . for 11 years," she added.
Brown was forced out of the position after a spate of lawsuits over alleged supervision failures.
"He was asked to resign,'' Bill Pennington, president of the IAHA at the time, confirmed last night.
Soon after, Brown was invited to join the administration by his old Oklahoma college roommate Joseph Allbaugh, the previous head of FEMA until he quit in 2003 to work for the president's re-election campaign.
The White House last night defended Brown's appointment. A spokesman noted Brown served as FEMA deputy director and general counsel before taking the top job, and that he has now overseen the response to "more than 164 declared disasters and emergencies,'' including last year's record-setting hurricane=

from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition
- Masaryk, Tomáš Garrigue 1850-1937. Czechoslovakian politician who served as the first president of independent Czechoslovakia (1918-1935). His son Jan Garrigue Masaryk (1886-1948) was the foreign minister of the provisional government in London (1940-1945) and the restored government in Prague (1945-1948).
Sorry, no etymologies found.
In 1891 they openly attacked the Triple Alliance, and in 1892 Dr. Menger called Masaryk a traitor for his outspoken defence of the right of Bohemia to independence.
Independent Bohemia An Account of the Czecho-Slovak Struggle for Liberty
The Automotodrom Brno - also known as the Masaryk Ring in the Czech Republic - can claim over
Mr. Havel's is the first full state funeral not associated with the communist regime since the 1937 funeral of Tomas Garrigue Masaryk, the first president of Czechoslovakia that emerged after World War I.
Some of Thor's existing properties are located in tony shopping districts like Masaryk Street in Mexico City and Robertson Boulevard in Los Angeles.
Ha-Shiloah 43 (1925): 76 – 87; "President-Philosopher," on Masaryk.
In 1918, after America had pledged its support for Czech independence, Masaryk spoke to a crowd in Chicago that was estimated to be over 100,000.
"Our business is off 90%," says Filberto Hernandez, manager of Mr. Sushi, a popular lunch place on the tony Masaryk avenue.
Jan Masaryk, the pro-Western foreign minister, fell - or was pushed - to his death from his office window in Prague.
When Weierstrass got seriously ill, Masaryk suggested that Husserl go back to Vienna, to study philosophy with Franz Brentano, the author of Psychology from an Empirical Standpoint (1874).
Ivan Medek, who at one time was my chief of staff, always tried to ease my mind by pointing out that the first president of Czechoslovakia, Tomás Masaryk, had in fact said the same thing all his life.

Ah, The Irony
I spent some time Saturday doing nothing. To be honest, I had no energy, no desire and no ambition to go anywhere. I did force myself to take a walk to the mailbox, just so I didn't coop myself up. But really at the heart of it was that I didn't want to miss his call. So I waited.
Saturday night came and went with no phone call. I wasn't too concerned -- I wasn't sure where he would land and, let's face it, you're travelling with 200 other soldiers who also want to call their wives and loved ones so there's a wait for the phone.
Sunday morning came and I debated about going to church. I didn't want to miss his call so I decided I would attend the absolute last mass of the day at church, about 5pm. I figured by then I would hear. I needed to hear his voice. To me, his voice is the one that cuts through the noise, speaks to my heart and is as sweet as music to my ears.
At 2pm the phone rang and my heart skipped. But it wasn't the house phone, it was his cell phone. I looked at the display and saw his supervisor's name. Huh? That didn't make any sense. Wasn't she on the plane too? I answered the phone and it was his supervisor's husband, wanting to know if I'd heard anything yet. I told him no and it turns out he hadn't either. I got his phone number and promised to call if I heard anything.
Worry crept in. This man retired from the military at the rank of Command Sergeant Major. He had 26 years of service and he's calling me? OK, my brain thought. The CSM is worried, so you should be too. So I did. A little. After all, I reassured myself, there was no news and sometimes no news can be good news.
The CSM called me about 45 minutes later. I heard the cell phone ringing in the bedroom where I had plugged it in to charge. He'd just heard from his wife and all was well. They'd had some airspace issues and had to turn around to a more western friendly country. Ok, I thought: Husband will be calling soon!
But by 5pm there was still no call and I was beginning to fret, worry and stress. It's amazing how those same exact feelings from a year ago (when he was in Iraq) came flooding to the surface. No church, I didn't want to miss his call.
At 6pm I looked at the cell phone charging. There was a new voicemail on it. Oh no! I knew who it was from and I was so disappointed that I wasn't able to speak with him. But he did call. And I did get to hear his sweet voice. And with a simple message of love, we reconnected across the miles.
