Scouting The Opponents
Eastern Michigan -- Eastern Michigan (3-3, 2-2 MAC) has had a few weeks off after its 223-100 home loss to Purdue back from Nov. 13-14. The Eagles own conference wins over Bowling Green and Akron and a non-conference victory over Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Freshman distance swimmer Briana Emig paces the Eagles and holds the conference's top time in the 500 free (4:56.52) and second-fastest times in the 1,000 free (10:10.95) and 1,650 free (17:04.66). Eastern Michigan is coached by Peter Linn, who is in his fifth season coaching the EMU women (and 21st coaching the EMU men). He owns a 37-13 mark over that span and is a two-time MAC Coach of the Year (2005, 2006).
Toledo -- Toledo (8-1, 4-0 MAC) comes into the weekend having defeated six straight teams (Univ. of Toronto, Ball State, Eastern Michigan, Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Miami [OH], Ohio). Michigan handed the Rockets their only loss of the season back on Oct. 23 (180-120) at Canham Natatorium. Carly Harter (50 free, 100 free, 200 IM, 400 IM) and Jacy Dyer (500 free, 1,000 free, 1,650 free) pace Toledo in the pool, holding team season highs in each of the events listed in parenthesis. The Rockets were ranked 16th in CollegeSwimming.com's Mid-Major poll. Toledo is coached by Lars Jorgenson, who is in his sixth season.
Also competing are Division II schools Wayne State, Findlay (OH) and Waterloo (Canada).
Wolverine Dominance
Michigan has finished first at the last six EMU Invitationals. Below are the team scores for the last six seasons:
2003-04 - 1,010
2004-05 - 1,091
2005 - 1,075
2006 - 1,192
2007 - 1,147.5
2008 - 1,102.5
The Wolverines have never lost to Eastern Michigan (16-0), Toledo (5-0) or Waterloo (2-0) in dual-meet competition.
A Quick Look Back
Michigan won the six-team Purdue Invitational (Nov. 20-22) with a score of 774.5, 45 points ahead of second-place Louisville. The Wolverines won 11 events and saw swimmers earn a total of 19 NCAA 'B' qualifying marks over the three-day span, including eight by senior Margaret Kelly (Ann Arbor, Mich./Pioneer).
Facing Top Competition
The Wolverines checked in at No. 19 in the first CSCAA poll, released back on Nov. 17. Southern Methodist is also at No. 19.
In addition to Michigan, six other Big Ten schools appear in the rankings, making the Big Ten the most represented conference in the women's poll. Indiana, Minnesota (No. 12), Wisconsin (No. 16), Purdue (No. 22), Northwestern (No. 23) and Penn State (No. 24) are the other Big Ten teams that appear, while Ohio State, Michigan State and Iowa received votes. The Wolverines have home meets against Indiana (Jan. 8-9, 2010) and Northwestern (Jan. 16) later this season.

Kelly -- Best of the Week
Kelly was named Big Ten Co-Swimmer of the Week last Tuesday (Nov. 24) for the second time in her career for her efforts in leading Michigan to a first-place finish at the Purdue Invitational. Sharing the honor with Northwestern's Emily Wong, she won three races (200-yard IM, 100-yard butterfly, 100-yard freestyle) and swam a leg on all five of Michigan's first-place relay teams. Her time of 49.34 in the 100-yard freestyle was just 0.01 seconds off her personal best, set nearly one year ago to the day (Nov. 23 at the Texas A&M Invitational).
Kelly is a five-time NCAA All-American and 11-time NCAA All-America honorable mention. She last received the honor Jan. 22, 2008, after winning four events against Michigan State and Northwestern, both U-M wins. She is also the first U-M swimmer to receive the conference's honor since Hannah Smith earlier this year (Feb. 10).
Wolverines Ink Six For 2010-11
Head coach Jim Richardson announced the signings of six high school standouts to National Letters of Intent during the November early signing period. Swimmers Courtney Beidler (Richboro, Pa./Council Rock South), Erin Cameron (Rockwood, Mich./Oscar A. Carlson), Angela Chokran (South Elgin, Ill./St. Charles North), Nikki Hubbard (Granger, Ind./Penn), Molly Osterhage (Centerville, Ohio/Centerville) and diver Erin Bridgewater (Kawkawlin, Mich./Western) will join Michigan for the 2010-11 season.
• Wolverines Pen Six for 2010-11 Campaign
Lohman U-M's Best
Sophomore diver Amanda Lohman (Pittsburgh, Pa./Upper St. Claire) continues to be the Wolverines' top diver after earning team-high finishes in all three diving events at the Purdue Invitational. Despite competing against several All-America divers, she earned a third-place finish on the three-meter board (314.30) and secured two fourth-place finishes, one on the platform (233.45) and one on the one-meter board (298.15). Lohman holds team season highs in all three events this season and was named Big Ten Diver of the Week back in late October.
Moodie & Kukors Return
Junior Natasha Moodie (Miramar, Fla./Miramar) and freshman Mattie Kukors (Auburn, Wash./Mountainview) both returned to action at the Purdue Invitational and gave the Wolverines a boost after missing the last two meets. Neither seemed to have skipped a beat, as Moodie earned six 'B' marks (four relays, two individual races), while Kukors won the 200-yard backstroke and finished inside the top four in two other events (400-yard IM, 100-yard backstroke; 'B' marks in both).
Local Connections
Michigan has not needed to go very far to bring swimmers into the program. Nineteen members of the 2009-10 squad hail from the state of Michigan, including 10 from the Ann Arbor area. Of those 10, eight are Ann Arbor Pioneer (H.S.) products: Val Barthelemy, Ashley Cohagen, Kristyne Cole, Leigh Cole, Kristina Jaeger, Kelly, Liz Koselka, and Carleigh Schwartz. The other two from Ann Arbor are Megan Craig (Mercy) and Rachael Ropeik (Huron).

2009-10 Record Book and Yearbook!
Beginning with the 2009-10 academic year, the University of Michigan athletics department will no longer print media guides. U-M fans and media can still obtain all the information they're used to, only now it's available online. If you're looking for in-depth historical information, statistics, records, archives, etc., the Record Book is what you'll need and it was just added to MGoBlue.com. [ Check out the Yearbook and Record Book ]
Home of the Wolverines
The University of Michigan continues its commitment to athletic excellence with the Donald B. Canham Natatorium, home of the Michigan swimming and diving and women's water polo teams. Considered one of the finest college-owned swimming and diving facilities in the nation when it was constructed in 1988, a renovation in 1998 upgraded Canham to a state-of-the art swimming and diving facility.
The 59,000-square foot facility houses a 50-meter pool, eight lanes wide, that can be divided into two separate 25-yard pools by movable bulkheads. The Dick Kimball Diving Pool, located at the west end of the facility, features an Olympic Tower, one- and three-meter springboards, and a hot tub. On the east end of the mezzanine level is one of two full-service training rooms on the U-M athletic campus, which includes physical therapy modalities, a cast room, running pool and physician examination rooms. One of Michigan's three weight training and conditioning facilities also is located in the natatorium.
Completed in 1988 at a cost of approximately $8.5 million, Canham Natatorium underwent comprehensive renovations in 1998 to ensure its presence well into the 21st century. A new roofing system was installed, while the ventilation system was revised to reflect greater concern for the health of athletes. Both pools have new filtration equipment and piping that is totally resistant to corrosion. In addition, ceramic tile was installed on the interior of both pools, creating an environment that is more conducive to faster swimming, as well as more precise diving. Finally, a state-of-the-art lighting system for the competition pool area was installed, permitting lighting levels to be adjusted based upon the level of activity in competition.
The natatorium is named for former Michigan athletic director Don Canham, who retired from his post in June 1988. Canham was an NCAA high jump champion for Michigan in 1940 and went on to coach the men's track and field team before becoming Michigan's fifth athletic director in 1968.
Leading the Wolverines
Michigan head swimming coach Jim Richardson enters his 25th season at the helm for the Wolverines. Over that time, his teams have dominated the Big Ten, winning 12 consecutive league titles from 1987-98 to add to the program's 13th in 2001 and 14th in 2004. Since taking over in 1985-86, Michigan has finished in the NCAA top 10 on 14 occasions. In 1995, U-M finished in second place as a team, following that in 1996 by hosting the NCAA Championships and finishing third.
Richardson holds a career record of 161-63 in dual-meet competition, including an impressive 105-17 mark in Big Ten action. Richardson has coached nine individual national champions, 156 NCAA All-Americans and 184 honorable mention All-Americans. On the conference level, he has guided 159 individual and relay conference champions and has been named the Big Ten Coach of the Year six times. A two-time NCAA Coach of the Year (1993, '95), Richardson's athletes have excelled in the classroom as well as the pool with 30 CSCAA Academic All-Americans and 236 Academic All-Big Ten nominations.
Chris Bergére is in his eighth season as the head diving coach, and Stefanie Kerska is in her 12th season as an assistant to Richardson.
Up Next
Michigan returns to action Jan 2, 2010, when it travels to San Juan, Puerto Rico, to participate in the Copa Coqui meet. The meet is scheduled to begin at noon EST.

I went over to my mom on the sofa and gently put my paw on her hand to get her attention and receive the daily cuddles and pets. So I am happily getting my cuddles when my brother Bagpuss, who's spider senses clearly told him that attention was being given elsewhere and not to him, comes thundering into the room like a baby elephant jumps on the sofa (breaking wind as he does so) pushes me out of the way and gets on his back for tummy rubs. Squeaking the whole time. Hilarious!!!! No dignity with him at all. But my momma laughed and cuddled the both of us.
We are in trouble this morning. Bagpuss run all over the house with poop on his foot. I was laughing as every time Momma tried to catch him he ran more as he taught it was a game. I just watched from the top of my cat tree. He than tried to cuddle Daisy Dog but she was having none of him being so smelly. I have a smelly bum too Momma is trying to catch me but im to high up. She looks frustrated but she is blowing me kissed too. She is trying to coax me down. I aint falling for that. She thinks Im ...oh Momma just took out cat treats got run.....

Online clothing retailer Asos today shrugged off the UK consumer downturn and eurozone crisis to report storming sales over Christmas.
The surge in domestic sales at Asos, which delivers to 160 countries, was driven by its core twentysomething customers shopping more frequently, driven by lower prices on clothing and delivery charges.
Asos grew its UK retail revenues by 34% to £35.7 million over the month to December 31, which smashed City expectations.
Co-founder and chief executive Nick Robertson said: "It was the combination of internal things and we improved the whole delivery promise." He added that it enjoyed strong sales of baroque dresses and over-sized jewellery, as well as robust demand for onesies and novelty male jumpers, such as those sporting reindeer.
Shoppers were also attracted by Asos lowering its annual payment for next-day delivery by £5 to £9.95 for unlimited orders. The company's UK growth spurt was further helped by its reducing the prices of its clothing by up to 10% in some womenswear categories. But the group's gross margins fell by 0.29%, as it took a hit from the impact of VAT on the proportionately higher sales within the European Union, as opposed to orders outside the region that are not subject to the tax.
Global sales rose 47% but Europe was the star performer with sales up 65% to £18.4 million in the region. It was boosted by its own-language websites in France and Germany.

Is it too late to start her training? I was thinking of taking her to a pro school since I have no Idea what I'm doing. Any Ideas or recommendations on where to start? Sorry for being clueless.

Readers, meet my cousin Erika. She's 19. And she might just kick my ass in this blogging thing (we gots some good writin' genes in my family, yo!). Here's what she wrote:
You're a regular perezhilton (that guy has made me so proud to be a Perez... I've simply given up trying to give him up. His site is "magically delicious" and I don't care if it represents everything wrong with pop culture today. "It's part of a good breakfast!"). Your mom told me about your recent blogging so tonight I'm reading all of your entries. In the future when you're a New York Times Bestselling Author, this will be slangily referred to as a Jenny-Pestano-Hillier-a-thon (or something more clever - your name is hard to mess around with). The way you write is kind of captivating because it's very reader-friendly and relatable, but not so relatable that you know what's coming next and don't feel compelled to keep reading.
ANYWAY, as far as I'm concerned, horror novels are only useful if you're terribly happy and looking for a quick way to put you into a frightened and depressed mood. While it's true that getting your arm ripped off by a scary-ass clown hiding in a storm drain is probably worse than anything that would happen to me on even the shittiest of days, I'm all about the atmosphere when it comes to comfort books. I like to revel in my interpretation of the world the author has created. It's not so much flowery adjectives or lengthy descriptions that create this world for me, but the attitudes of the characters - the degree of hope and optimism they possess, and the style in which the author writes. When I'm feeling down I like friendly writing that makes me feel like the author is sitting at the front of a third-grade classroom and telling his or her story aloud. There has to be a certain detachment between the author's voice and what's going on in the story so that it doesn't get too overwhelmingly depressing. What can I say? I'm too sensitive. It's fine if bad things happen to the characters, but I want the author to have some consideration for my feelings. I don't like books that are mean to me.
This said, it's not hard to fathom that all my comfort books would all be from the Young Readers section. Well, they are. They include the Harry Potter series (of course), "Awake and Dreaming" (a book by Kit Pearson about a lonely girl who dreams of being part of a big, perfect family), The Berenstein Bears "Big Chapter Books" (classic), "Maniac Magee" by Jerry Spinelli (about a simple-minded yet extraordinary orphan on the run who settles in a town divided by racism), and the "Booky" Trilogy (first-hand tales about a girl growing up in Toronto at the heart of the 1930's Depression).
I can't say that these are still my favourite books of all time (though they once were). I've since found that often times the best, most thought-provoking and fascinatingly wonderful books are the ones that pull on your heartstrings and fill you with anguish. But when I want comfort, all I want to know is the latest heist Fred and George are pulling at Hogwarts, or how Brother and Sister Bear solved a spooky mystery in Bear Country.
That's just me.
So Jenny, I'll keep reading your blog and will continue to anxiously await the time when I can read one of your books (even if it ruins my day because it's about addiction-ridden people are have affairs and getting murdered).
And if you're wondering, here is a list of my favourite books in no particular order:
The Kite Runner
The Diviners
The Alchemist
She's Come Undone
Change of Heart
The Glass Castle
A Thousand Splendid Suns
The Da Vinci Code

Yeah, it's not a very interesting list. Mostly stuff you can find on the "Heather's Pick" list at Chapters or in Oprah's Book Club. I hate bad reads so when I'm choosing a book I like to go with the odds.
For the record, Erika, I like to go with the odds, too. Books cost money and take time to read... so I'll take the sure bets any day.
And God willing, maybe some day one of my books will be a "Heather's Pick". I have no idea who Heather is, but she clearly wields incredible power over the patrons of Chapters if the very sight of her sticker on a book can convince you to buy something. I'm thinking I should start sending her muffins – can't hurt, right?

What I wish I'd Known - Maternity Leave Edition
Baby Goat is starting to sleep for a 5 hour stretch some nights but it can be variable, unreliable and he can still be up all night sometimes too. I am mindful that I'll need to be supportive of Mr. Goat needing baby breaks as well as my own need to sleep to maintain work/baby schedules.
So do you guys have any advice for us? What do you remember about heading back to work with a baby? Was there a care balance that you guys discovered that worked for you? Any tips or thoughts are helpful! Thanks!

I wasn't going back to work full time, but Mr. E was at work full time. He took anything that happened from 9 pm to 1 am, and I took anything thereafter. Unless it was some sort of crisis. I was up all hours of the night for the pumping routine, anyway.
Good luck!
- Kristine said...
I wish I could help you here. I've never been faced with this situation so I'm clueless to it.
I can just wish you luck and say you guys will figure it out. I am sure it will be hard to adjust but you can do it!
Good luck! If you need an ear - I've got two of 'em!
I wasn't going back to work either, so early in my baby's life (in Canada, we have one year of for maternity leave if we want it) but my husband did.
He too, did the 9:00 pm until 1:00 am time slot as he was the late night person. While I did the early morning shift as I was the early bird.
It worked for us!

Enjoy your evenings with your son. If he cries all night, look at it as an opportunity to be with him. Expect him to be up all night for a while. If he doesn't see you during the day, he may make up for it at night. Since you'll probably miss him, too, during the day, being up at night is a way to have time together. It is hard, too. I think those first months back at work are harder than pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Cut yourself a bit of slack on the production during the day if you are tired - it just comes with the territory.
My simple advice, then, is enjoy the moments you have together (despite the lack of sleep) and hang in there. You can do this.

I know it may be hard, but since you work in a church, talk with whoever's in charge to find out if you can have some flexibility in your schedule. Like can you work the same number of hours, but work some of them from home. That might allow you to get some naps in more easily.
- Marketing Mama said...
Liz - good luck tomorrow! It's amazing how quickly maternity leaves go by... It really is awesome that you don't have to worry about dealing with daycares right now, having baby E home with Mr. Goat is such a blessing.
I think it's important, since you are working and he is home, that you two share the night shift, or that he carry more of the load, as he has the ability to take naps during the day and you won't. At a minimum, you should be able to get a solid 5-6 hours of sleep in order to function at work (in my opinion) - so perhaps you can break up the night into shifts that would allow you to do that.
I'll be thinking of you tomorrow!
- Tiffany said...
I didn't go back but Patrick did and we did every other feeding/diaper change. That allowed both of us a decent stretch of sleep. This worked VERY well for us...I wish we had done it with earlier children but alas, it seems we finally got our acts together for our third child. You guys will figure out what works best for you. The biggest key to success in this area is to listen to each other and your needs. If one of you has had a particularly hard or long day, help each other out. Listening and communicating your needs (especially sleep) will make a huge difference in getting through parenting.
Patrick wants me to add that flexibility is extremely important. Just because you agree to something or set up a plan in the beginning doesn't mean you have to keep it that way if it isn't working for one or both of you.
- Monkeymama said...
I hope today is going well Liz!
In balancing the child care we learned from our first baby that we just have to say what we are thinking. Like saying, "It would be very nice if you could rock the baby now." Instead of stewing and thinking "I've rocked this baby for over an hour and he(or she) is just watching TV!" We had a lot of trouble with that in the beginning. Or, that we need to be sure to say something when one of us wants to get out of the apartment for some "me" time, instead of feeling like the other person should make an offer.
We don't have a hard or fast schedule, but I think we try to split child care related things as close to 50/50 as we can when Greg is home from work.
Also, I try to do most of the middle of the night stuff and then Greg gets up when the kids do and I sleep an extra 30 - 45 minutes while he gets them breakfast and makes his lunch. But after a week or two you'll find a rhythm that works for you - just don't be afraid to discuss it.
I hope it all goes well! Life is so much more difficult when you are sleep deprived. :)
- Molly Guthrey Millett said...
I remember the day before I went back to work with my baby as one of the hardest of my life. I felt a lot of overwhelming emotions, including anger and grief. The good news is "the day before" got easier with each baby!!!! :) But, it's never easy.
When I was home with the baby, I felt like I should be the one to get up with the baby at night, because I could recover more slowly in the mornings than the "payroll spouse," who had to report to work at a certain time and be productive during the day for meetings and such.
As the payroll spouse, it is hard to come home and face "the second shift" and not really get a break. But I have also been the at-home spouse, and it is hard not to really get a break because the payroll spouse feels like they need a break, too. Hopefully you can see how it goes that first week and work out a time where you can both take a break.
As a payroll spouse now of three children, I basically get up with the baby during the night and also work the job during the day. I don't really get a break except when our baby-sitter is on duty, to be honest, or after the kids are in bed. It is exhausting, and also for my husband. I guess I've just become accustomed to the exhaustion. My coping mechanism includes having very low expectations for everything, and crashing on the couch immediately after my children are asleep!
- liz said...
I've been back at work for 2 months and Seth is at home with Anna. So far it's going fairly well for us. Right now A sleeps with us and when she is up for a feeding, I just nurse her in bed with me. This works well for a working mama because I don't have to wake up fully! I just get her started and then I can fall back asleep - so I highly recommend working on the side-lying nursing position if you can. This keeps you from having to get up and stay awake while the baby eats. Otherwise, if she needs a diaper change, S usually takes care of that. You definitely need your sleep so make sure to voice your needs clearly (as Monkeymama said - it's important to be upfront about this instead of the silent resentment thing!). At some point soon E won't be eating as much at night and he'll sleep for longer stretches. It will get easier!
As far as other tips - if C can swing it, have him bring E in to work to have "lunch dates" with you sometimes. We do this 1-2 times a week and it's wonderful! I get to see her mid-day and it gives us all something to look forward to.
How is pumping going? I bet you are a pro at it by now - I hadn't pumped much before I went back to work so that was an adjustment for me, but you quickly get into a routine. Everything seems worse when you are tired, but this too shall pass and you'll get the hang of it after a while.
Let me know if you ever want to commiserate - I know it can be hard. But it's wonderful that E can be at home with Daddy!
- liz said...
Oh, I also forgot to add that when I get home from work, I go sit with Anna for about an hour and nurse her right away. This lets us get re-connected and is a great way for me to unwind from my day. It also gives Seth a break and he can putz on the computer, make dinner, etc. It seems to be working well. Right now we are splitting her bedtime routine but I imagine that when we move up her bedtime, I will do most of the bedtime things (bath, book, etc.) to allow me the chance to do those things with her since Daddy gets to see her so much during the day. Most of the people I know who work outside the home do all or most of the bedtime routine, both to spend time with the child and to give the stay-at-home parent a break.

If you're going to harass him by speeding just make sure no one else is around to see or they might call you in. If this guy is randomly punching cars I'm betting he's also randomly punched a few faces which = police record, which means unless he's really stupid he pays up and shuts up (though always be prepared for revenge on his part).
Basically you have to accept that he is now your sworn enemy for life and you must do anything to prevent him from getting over on you. The best way to do this is by filing the report because at worst it gives you legal leverage for the battles that may come. It looks like he started it. If he has a record and wants to avoid grief and expense he just eats it and shuts up (hopefully at least). He needs to know that you are his master and he cannot f with you or he will, even if it just means he knows further confrontation will likely result in further reports. Bide your time and make him pay in psychological pain so deep he can't even bother to wonder who did him in, he just has to hide and hope its over. Typically after a little time has passed I find myself not caring as much as at first and happy I didn't lash out, capable of pulling harmless but annoying pranks that give me laughs and make them curse the gods of karma. However, just in case, I keep the Canadian passport I inherited rights to through my grandparents up to date and several gas cans full in my garage (multipurpose). If I ever have to commit arson or murder I don't plan to be on some gas station security cam filling up my cans, or stopping for fuel on my way to Manitoba. Boy Scouts wasn't just about tying knots, it was about smoking cigarettes and lighting massive bonfires while trying not to get caught. More than anything it was about problem solving and planning ahead. Be prepared.

Another South American opponent, another knockout match, and another shaky showing, but another victory for Brazil, which by beating Colombia, 2-1, Friday in Fortaleza reached the semifinals. But the victory was overshadowed by the injury to Brazil star Neymar that will keep him out of the rest of the World Cup.
By scoring an early goal and tightening up its defense, Brazil edged past the Colombians, whose energetic play and penchant for attack had livened up each of their first four matches. But they conceded a goal in the seventh minute by leaving Thiago Silva unmarked to score easily on a corner kick, and after rallying mildly without scoring fell further behind whenanother defender, David Luiz, struck a superb "falling leaf" free kick from more than 30 yards out.
James Rodriguez added to his lead in the Golden Boot race by notching his sixth goal from the penalty spot and the Cafetaros reverted to their spirited persona to press forward in search of the equalizer without success. Brazil moves on to play Germany Tuesday in the first semifinal concerns about two of its most important players.
Neymar out. A chippy match rife with awkward tackles and ill-timed challenges took its toll on many players, but by far the most serious incident waylaid Neymar in the 86th minute. He was waiting to control a ball in the air at midfield when Carlos Zuniga crashed into him from behind, his right knee driving into Neymar's lower back.
Neymar left the field on a stretcher and two hours after game a report the Brazilian national team doctor reported that he'd sustained a fracture of the third vertebrae and is out of the tournament. Neymar, bothered by knee and thigh knocks in the round-of-16 defeat of Chile, had played mostly a supporting role, setting up chances for Fred, Oscar, and Hulk while seldom testing Colombian keeper David Ospina himself. His set plays, though, menaced an unsure Colombian back line, and his in-swinging corner from the left side wound up in the net off Thiago Silva's thigh.
Silly suspension. Thiago Silva could have been Man of the Match. His smart, tough work in central defense repeatedly blunted Colombia, which needed about 20 minutes to recover after he opened the scoring. Defensive fragility had plagued Brazil in its first four games but though Colombia gradually played its way back into the game there were fewer of the miscues and breakdowns that had tainted Brazil's earlier games.
But Thiago Silva's sure tackles and timely interceptions were tainted by a moment of stupidity in the 64th minute. After coming up for a set play, he cut in front of Opsina as the keeper prepared to kick the ball back into play and the ensuing caution –- the first of four handed out by Spanish referee Carlos Velasco Caballo -– was his second of the knockout phase and disqualifies him for the semi against Germany.
He could be replaced in the semifinal by Dante, who knows the German players as teammates as well as foes through his employment with Bayern Munich. (Six Bayern players started in Germany's 1-0 quarterfinal defeat of France.) Yet Dante has yet to play in the tournament and Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari brought on defender Henrique (for Neymar) as extra cover in the final minutes.
Stronger spine. Scolari had to make a change forced by suspension for the quarterfinal, and deployed Paulhino in place of Luiz Gustavo. Backed by Fernandinho, the Tottenham midfielder found a lot of space in the Colombian half of the field and the work of those two did much to defuse Colombia's pacy, possession game.
Rodriguez displayed his usual guile and flare but he received little support. Whether the occasion got to them or they were rocked by the early goal, the Cafetaros played a step slower and less confidently than they had in sweeping their group games and beating Uruguay in the round of 16. Fernandinho dominated the space in front of Thiago Silva and David Luiz, who smothered Teofilo Gutierrez for much of the game.
Yet the defense creaked repeatedly in the second half as Brazil scrambled to retain that 1-0 lead and a second goal merely jacked up the Colombian pressure.
Bacca brings it. Down 2-0 with 20 minutes to go after David Luiz's incredible free kick, the Colombians finally hit their stride with insertion of Carlos Bacca. He drove at Brazil from the right flank and caused the host several anxious moments before running onto a diagonal ball and nicking it past Julio Cesar as the keeper crashed into him.
Julio Cesar was cautioned, not sent off, since a teammate was close enough to recover the ball after the foul. Brazilian players delayed the
kick for several minutes by taking water as an "injured" teammate was attended to, but Rodriguez waited patiently before striding forward to bang a low shot to his left as the keeper went the other
Rodriguez and Bacca led a desperate Colombian charge that rattled the Brazilians but didn't produce a goal and they collapsed on the field in disappointment after five minutes of stoppage time. Rodriguez and some of his teammates cried after the final whistle. He was consoled by David Luiz, who embraced him and spoke earnestly for several minutes after the pair exchanged jerseys.
Fabulous free kicks. As if defending the typical array of flicks and passes and dribbles and moves Brazilian players are renowned for isn't enough, opponents for decades have been beguiled by the five-time champion's mastery of free kicks.
Past masters of free kicks include Rivelino, Rivaldo, Didi, Roberto Carlos, and, of course, Pele, who usually had several lethal specialists on the field with him and would often stand by and let one of them take a crack. David Luiz's dipping shot from the middle of the field narrowly escaped Opsina's desperate lunge and glanced down off the bottom of the crossbar.
Writing for The Observer prior to the 2002 World Cup, Rivelino wrote of a member of the Pele generation who helped define the genre: "Before me, Didi, who perfected the folha seca ["falling leaf''], where he'd kick the ball flying over the wall, and it would kind of drop down into the goal."
When that level of precision and skill and audacity are required, nobody does it better than the hosts.

After Ruling, Legislative Leaders Look To Public Service Board For VY Decision
01/20/12 7:34AM By John Dillon
| Download MP3
(Host) A federal judge has ruled in favor of Entergy Vermont Yankee in its lawsuit over the continued operation of the Vermont's only nuclear power plant.
The ruling effectively means the state cannot force the plant in Vernon to shut down in March, as Governor Peter Shumlin wants to do.
VPR's John Dillon has more:
(Dillon) U.S. District Judge J. Garvan Murtha says federal law trumps the Vermont Legislature's ability to determine the future of a nuclear power plant.
Vermont is the only state in the country that gives lawmakers a say in whether a plant can continue to operate. After a history of radiation leaks and misstatements by plant officials, the Vermont Senate two years ago denied Yankee permission to operate past March of this year. But Murtha's 102 page ruling blocks the state from enforcing that law.
Murtha said that when lawmakers debated a bill called Act 160 that gave them a veto over Yankee's continued operation they were clearly concerned about safety at the plant. And the judge said that's an area that is expressly pre-empted by federal law.
Murtha wrote: "This Court holds there is overwhelming evidence in the legislative record that Act 160 was grounded in radiological safety concerns and the concomitant desire to empower the legislature to act on those concerns in deciding the question of Vermont Yankee's continued operation."
(Dillon) Attorney General Bill Sorrell said he was disappointed in Murtha's ruling, and was reviewing it to see whether the state should appeal.
(Sorrell) "We felt good about the law that we argued to the court, existing U.S. Supreme Court law. So, no small part of any appeal would be arguing that the U.S. Supreme Court has said that states have legitimate interests in passing upon issues of nuclear power plants operating within a state's borders."
(Dillon) Governor Peter Shumlin -who led the effort two years ago in the state Senate against Vermont Yankee - also said in a statement that he was disappointed. He said he continues to believe the plant should close in March.
Entergy released a statement saying the ruling was good news for its employees, the environment and New England residents.
But while the ruling clearly means the plant will continue to operate past March, it does not cut the state entirely out of the process.
Legal observers said Murtha left a role for the Public Service Board -which regulates utilities - to review Yankee's future.
Pat Parenteau is a professor at Vermont Law School. He says the PSB can now decide whether Entergy Vermont Yankee gets a new 20-year operating license from the state, called a certificate of public good, or CPG.
(Parenteau) "That's the way I read this. The judge specifically rejected a much broader argument that Entergy had made, which is the state doesn't even have authority under Act 248 over this plant because it's a merchant plant that sells wholesale power. And he didn't buy that argument. So he has not said that this plant can continue to operate without a new CPG."
(Dillon) Senate President John Campbell and House Speaker Shap Smith agreed. They said they expect the Public Service Board to now take up the question of whether Yankee should get a new certificate of public good.
For VPR News, I'm John Dillon in Montpelier.

FQ Business Owners Happy With State Police Extended Stay
A member of the French Quarter Business League says he's elated State Police are extending their stay in New Orleans by two months, until November 1.
An extra contingent of troopers was deployed beginning in July following a mass shooting on Bourbon Street. The LSP had initially committed to remain in the city through Labor Day.
Earl Bernhardt, owner of the Tropical Isle on Bourbon Street, says the extended stay takes the pressure off of having to immediately implement their own security plan.
"We had a plan in effect that when they leave, we were gonna try to either hire off-duty policemen or retired policemen to fill in the gaps. So we put that on hold for right now," Bernhardt said.
"The state troopers have been very beneficial here in the Quarter in aiding the local police who, as we all know, are understaffed, and it's really been a big boost to safety here in the Quarter," Bernhardt said.

Ke$ha Talks Bi-Sexuality & Bullying in Seventeen's February 2013 Issue
She's never been shy about her sexual appetite, and Ke$ha has opened up about her attraction to both guys and gals in Seventeen magazine's February 2013 issue.
The "Your Love is My Drug" dame began, "I don't love just men. I love people. It's not about a gender. It's just about the spirit that exudes from that other person you're with."
Ke$ha also noted that she doesn't tolerate poor treatment of anyone, regardless of their sexual preference or any other aspect of personality. "I'm all about standing up to gay/lesbian/transgender bullying, but it's also about my little brother. He's 13 and he gets made fun of because he has a stutter. I just have zero tolerance for people making fun of others."
"I remember every person who told me I couldn't do something or that I was ugly or too fat. I have a 'sh-t list' -— people from my past who have been soulless and judgmental. Even after I got through my awkward phase, got my braces off, and figured out how to dress my body, people in the music business were like, 'You're never going to make it.' I see them now and I'm like, 'Ha!' That's one of the reasons I named my record Warrior. You can be a victim and let that eat your soul, or you can say, 'You're going on my list and I'm going to prove you wrong!'"

Lady Flames Sweep North Carolina A&T To Remain Perfect At Home
The Lady Flames used some timely hitting and a solid pitching performance in a 5-2 opening game victory over North Carolina A&T, while completing the sweep with a 15-1 win in the second game, Saturday afternoon, at the Liberty Softball Field.
With the pair of victories, the Lady Flames up their overall record to 23-10 overall this year, while the two wins allowed Liberty to remain perfect at home this season as the Lady Flames are 8-0 in games played at the Liberty Softball Field.
In the first game, the Aggies jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second inning as Latronda Anderson led off the frame with an infield single, while back-to-back two out hits plated the two runners. Sylvia Felder started the scoring outburst with a single to left field to drive in Anderson, while a double to the fence in right field by Jessica Cooper drove in Felder to give the visitors the early 2-0 lead.
Anderson was able to hold the Lady Flames hitless the first time through the batting order; however, the Lady Flames broke up the no hit and shutout bid with one swing of the bat as Jessica Moore connected on her team-leading 11th home run of the year with a solo homer to center field.
Dawn Jeffs followed with an infield single and later in the inning tied the game as she recorded her sixth stolen base of the year, while Christina Brock's attempted throw sailed past both middle infielders and Cooper in center field to allow Jeffs to score and knot the game at 2-2.
The score remained the same until the fifth inning as Jeffs drove in pinch runner Rachel Love with a single to left field. Two batters later, Ashley Williams upped her team leading RBI total with a two-RBI double to the gap in right center field to plate Courtney Johnson and Moore to give Liberty its final two runs of the game.
Terra Lowe picked up the victory in the game as she allowed two runs on four hits, while fanning five batters in her sixth complete game of the year. Anderson suffered the loss as she allowed five runs on six hits in six innings of work.
Offensively, the Lady Flames were paced by Jeffs as the starting second baseman was 2-for-4 with a run scored and a RBI, while Williams was 1-for-3 with the two RBI double.
In the second game, Liberty wasted little time getting on the scoreboard as the Lady Flames plated two runs in the first inning as Moore, who reached on a fielding error, scored on a wild pitch by Adia Dial, while Dawn Jeffs crossed the plate on a suicide squeeze bunt by Beth Hensley to give Liberty a 2-0 edge.
Liberty added three more runs in the second inning as Johnson and Jessica Leary were issued back-to-back walks, while Moore cleared the bases with a three-run opposite field homer to right field to up Liberty's lead to 5-0.
North Carolina A&T broke up the shutout bid in the third inning with a two-out rally as leadoff hitter Chaola Simmons slapped a base hit through the left side of the infield and two batters later scored on a RBI base hit back up the middle by Dial to trim the lead to 5-1.
However, the Lady Flames put the game out of reach in the bottom of the fourth inning as Liberty batted around the order, scoring 10 runs on six hits.
The first eight batters of the inning successfully reached base and scored, while the scoring outburst was highlighted by a two RBI base hit by Hensley, a RBI double by Shannon McKain and a two-run homer to right center field by Moore to cap off the game.
Sarah Ellis upped her record to 7-0 on the year as the rookie scattered three hits in five innings of work, while striking out three batters in her fifth complete game of the year. Dial suffered the loss as she was roughed up for 15 runs on 13 hits, while issuing six walks in four innings of work.
All but two of Liberty's starters recorded hits in the game with Moore leading the way with her third multiple home run game of the year and the ninth of her Liberty career as the junior was 2-for-3 with four runs scored, five RBI and two round trippers. Jeffs followed as she was 3-for-4 from the game, while Hensley drove in a season-high three RBI.
The Lady Flames will continue their five-game homestand on Monday when they host Bethune-Cookman in a non-conference doubleheader. First pitch of the first game is set for 2 p.m. at the Liberty Softball Field.

A way To Hang This?
They're commonly used for commercial signs to make them pop. One part screws into the wall leaving a stud for the picture to be mounted on, the other part mounts to the stud.
If you want it invisible, you need to have angled t-slots routed into the wood on the back so that the stud (side view shaped like a T) slides in and gravity holds it in place.
Addendum: THAT IS AWESOME.
Screw hook
If you use large screws like these, you need to make sure that you
are screwing into the wall stud and not just plaster or dry wall only.
Also its best to drill pilot hole in the wood for large screws.
They are called stainless steel hooks and eyes ( click on it for the google link )
Below is an image of what they look like.....
The left one(the hook) should be on the wall & the right one on your wooden piece
Hope this help's

Emma: Not according to the Corps. That's what I like about being a Marine. The procedures. The code. I like having a measurable set of expectations. I could always tell how good I was doing, but with this... how do I know?
Gibbs: You don't. But you'll be able to tell.
Emma: Listen, everyone, I don't want any special treatment. I'm a Marine first and pregnant second.
Gibbs: Oo-rah.
Emma: Oo-right.
Ziva: Well, I will gladly take the special treatment. I like mine with extra marshmallows the little tiny ones, please.

Gibbs: Where do you think I got this haircut?
Abby: Oh, thank goodness it's just you. Jimmy and his Grinch-in-law have been stalking the halls spreading ill-will and yuletide yuckness. Hey, did he try to pick a fight with you in the squad room?
Gibbs: No, he's just being a...
Abby: Unseasonably and unreasonably rude.

Web Exclusive
Most moms think that rainy days mean having to come up with indoor projects for their kids, like the ever-popular toilet paper roll bunny or a nifty water bottle piggy bank. I think it's because, on the whole, moms like clean kids. They don't want their precious little angel in the photo frame on the wall to look like Huck Finn. Well, my motto is, "It'll wash." Whether it's kids, clothes, or a dirty mouth, everything comes clean with a little soap.
It was Saturday morning, about 10 a.m., and I was in my robe, pouring another cup of coffee when my son came barreling in. Breathless, he managed, "Mom we got any bacon?" As I began to explain that this was a cereal morning and I had no intention of cooking bacon, I scanned his dirty little frame and reminded myself, it'll wash. My eyes panned down his body: uncombed hair, un-brushed teeth, no shirt, baggy, wet shorts, and two yellow galoshes full – yes, full – of water. I realized, it must be raining.
I stopped mid sentence and suspiciously cocked my head to the side. Eyebrows raised and tone lowered, I asked, "Why would you want bacon?" As if I didn't know.
He scowled at my feigned ignorance. "Crawdads like it. I need a string and a stick, too," he blurted, presenting a spool of red thread from my sewing box and a wet stick. At this point I had two options. I could say 'no' and go check my email, or as any mother easily guilted by Father Time would do, I could think about how he would only be seven once, and soon he'd be asking for a twenty and the car keys. I could save my 'no' for then. I pulled a slimy slice of bacon from the crisper, handed it to my son, and inspected my greasy hands. It'll wash. He was very pleased to find me so accommodating.
Just about that time, my eight-year-old daughter came sloshing in with our soggy black puppy following her. There she stood in all her glory, an orange bikini on her lanky frame and a pink gingham umbrella overhead. "Got the bacon?" she inquired as the puppy shook himself dry in my living room. Watching them I was thankful that I couldn't afford new carpet. It'll wash.
"Got it!" he announced. As if on a mission of utmost importance, they trailed out the front door for a shot at catching the big one. My son will be a great fisherman one day – or a great stretcher of the truth. Same thing? He swears we have crawdads twice the size of Maine lobsters in our drainage ditch.
This has to be better than email, I thought, and decided to take my coffee to the front porch. I relaxed back into my chair and cold water bubbled up from the cushion onto my backside. It'll wash.
The boys looked like warriors in the Amazon, slinking under the driveways and grouped together grunting and pointing under rocks. The girls looked more like southern belles at the Battle of the Bulge, watching the action from a safe distance.
One very familiar aborigine broke loose from the tribe, brandishing a snapping crustacean. He darted into the girls' lawn party holding the snapping creature in front of him and laughing uncontrollably. Umbrellas flying, the scantily clad darlings ran for their lives, slipping and fumbling over each other to escape the monstrous crawdad and the muddy lawn. Their frilly pastel umbrellas were doused in thick, oozing mud, and their little bodies were slathered with it, too. It'll wash. I smiled. They screamed as only little girls can, and shouted threats at the roguish boy, now insane with pleasure at his accomplishment. His father would be proud.
When the shrill screams and nasty threats were over, I decided my husband must be awake – along with everyone else for three square blocks – and the climax of this show was over. It would end as the many episodes before it had ended, with me in a pile of wet clothes in the laundry room, chanting my motto and wishing I were one of the moms who believed in clean kids.

(Gold Coast – Sunday 18th January, 2009): REIGNING state champion Shaun Gossmann (Burleigh Heads) claimed first blood in the race for the 2009 Queensland Championship Circuit (QCC) crown, taking out the season-opening Billabong Alley Classic on the Gold Coast today.
Gossmann, 26, proved his 2008 QCC crown was no fluke, making his mark on the Currumbin Alley line-up to collect $3,000 and a valuable 1000 rating points in the 3 star rated, $6,000 tournament.
"It feels good to come to this event and do well, especially after coming off such a high last year," said Gossmann.
"My result in last year's event set me up for the 2008 crown, so hopefully I can repeat it this year."
The former Durbanite, who won each of his three heats en route to the final, defied rising 2-3ft wind-affected, high tide waves to take line honours head of Byron Bay's Ellis Ericson, Coolangatta's Clancy Dawson and Alexandra Headland's Blake Wilson.
Post final, Gossmann said he was thrilled to jag his maiden Alley crown after multiple finals appearances.
"It's eluded me for like eight years," he said.
"I've made four or five finals in the past, so to finally come off with a win is a huge relief. I'm over the moon."
In tempo with the tricky conditions, Gossmann jagged a set wave before unleashing successive high-performance moves to net an 8.00 in the early stages of the 25-minute final.
Leaving nothing to chance, Gossmann backed it up with a 6.85 to put the result beyond doubt. Gossmann finishing on a two-wave combined total of a 14.85 (out of a possible 20) to Ericson's 11.35.
Dawson and Wilson finishing in third and fourth respectively.
Final Scores: Gossmann (14.85), Ericson (11.35), Dawson (10.75) and Wilson (8.75).
Apart from winning the Alley title, Gossmann joined a prestigious list of past winners including World tour stars Joel Parkinson (Coolangatta), Luke Munro (Currumbin) and Adriano De Souza (Brazi).
Adding to the event's already high stakes was the Tooheys Extra Dry 'Wave of the Weekend'. Despite finishing in third, Dawson was awarded four cartons of the clean crisp taste of Tooheys Extra Dry for netting the event's highest individual wave score, an impressive 9.60 (out of a possible 10).
The next stop on the 2009 Queensland Championship Circuit (QCC) will be the Rip Curl MP Classic, starting on Jan 31, 2009.
The Billabong Alley Classic is the first stop of the 2009 Queensland Championship Circuit (QCC), a four event – $16,000 series, that continues to set the benchmark for surfers aspiring towards a professional surfing career.

Before you shell out for a new carb try a 4 hole spacer. They basically lengthen your carb barrels increasing your velocity which produces more torque and better throttle response
i never thought of the 4 hole spacer like that so what good is the open spacer? and being that i have single plane torker intake should i remove the open spacer to help a/f mixture since i need a dual plane or would it not make any difference. anyone one wanna trade 4hole for open lol. i dont think ill replace the carb b/c i have some future engine plans.
The open spacer has its merits. Namely it increases volume so if you're engine is starved for air because your carb is too small the open spacer will make your monitor think the carb got bigger
Ok thanks, now if any one can help me with idle mixture screws. Im not sure how to set them. Is there a guage or something to help with that.
every eddy ive ever owned ran rich. weather brand new or rebuilt or from a swap meet. mechanical or electric fuel pump didnt matter nor did the regulator. but then one day i bought a holley at the swap meet, a 4150 double pumper 650 for the stroker in my vette. WOW!!!!! with only bout 4-5 psi. youll say the same thing once you ditch that eddy. beautiful throttle response.
thanks for the inputs guys and f-bird 88 would a 3000 stall be to high for a street vehical would it affect gas mileage also its been starting fine sometimes as soon as i hit the key lol but its been idling fine for the most part. if i would need a stall now which i still want to get one in the near future for takeoff will i have problems shutting off in gear. i will post a vid on youtube if someone is willing to take a look. also will this cam lift be able to produce 400-450hp or tq. thanks again.
i have an idea for u
Next check to see that the vacuum hoses are in new condition to the distributor and that infact the vacuum advance is working...Simple method is to suck on the hose to the advance unit and hold your tip of the tongue on it for a time to see if it moves, as well as hold vacuum....insure all vacuum lines are in good condition and are in the right place...a vacuum leak will do the same thing, if it is cracked, but not seen...idle will be erratic also, or higher than normal and shifting may, or may not work as it should.
Did you pull the distributor, when you did the intake manifold? If you did, then make sure you did it at TDC....To find this correctly, pull the #1 plug out and spin the motor by hand and wait until finger is blown off the cylinder head than take a look at the dampner and put it on the timing mark dead center, then pull the cap off and check to see that the rotator is pointing to #1 cylinder....\
I think if you do these things, you will find your problem...
Lastly, insure fuel pressure is there from the pump and that your pressure reading really is 5-5.5psi.
Good luck and I think the 600cfm will work better for you,
You've been given some good advice in this thread. Let me summarize for you.
You have three basic problems.
1. carb is too big for the engine.
2. wrong intake manifold
3. wrong pressure regulator
If you intend to keep the 750 carb, switch to the lighter metering rod springs which will help alleviate the over rich idle. A spacer will help but you really need to replace that manifold with a good quality dual plane high rise. A torker manifold is suited for the track but doesn't do well on the street. If you want to continue using the in tank pump get a regulator with a return line. All you're going to do now is burn up the pump, and its a pain to replace. Also running an electric water pump on the street is not the best idea... again another item best suited for the track.
Setting the idle mixture screws on an AFB is pretty simple and can be ball-parked by using the following procedure. With the engine shut off, screw the idle mixture screws all the way in (clockwise)... but DO NOT force them. Once they're all the way in, back each one out 1 1/2 turns. This should give you a basic setting. Any further adjusting should be done in very small increments while the engine is running.
Good luck.
"Old age and treachery will always trump youth and exuberance." - Anonymous
ok at what point would not be forcing them should they just be finger tight or a little more or less. i also took them out to make there was no dirt. also should i change the rods to smaller ones or will the stock ones be fine. do the rods happen to raise when you give it gas or do they stay in the same spot. And does any one have an opinion on springs the diagram for the 1407 doesnt show .101 and .95 or could i go by the 1405 or 06 diagram. thanks for the help.
Simply screw the idle mixture screws in till they stop. Don't try to tighten them. Then back them out 1 1/2 turns. At this point you don't need to change the metering rods out, just the springs. The reason you wan to change the springs is that the stock springs are too heavy for the amount of vacuum your engine is producing (based on your cam) which is causing an over-rich condition at idle and is probably also contributing to your hesitation problem. These springs come in Calibration Kits and you'll want to use the lighter ones, probably yellow or orange. However, you can tune the carb all you want and it still won't help your streetability much because you're using the wrong intake manifold for your engine combination.
"When buying a used car, punch the buttons on the radio. If all the stations are rock and roll, there's a good chance the transmission is shot." - Larry Lujack
ok thanks centerline you help me understand some more. what will happen if i dont change the rods when i change springs, i mean i think it will reduce gas, but would the rods be to big for the jets to where i dont get enough fuel, if so could the .107 jets work. I read some where that engine will only take in the cfm that it needs so saying that the carb is a 750 doesnt mean that engine is taking that much in so could i use the springs, jets, and rods that come with a 600 or 650 and it be fine correct me if im wrong. as far as the intake its my only option right now but i will try to get a dual plane soon. i'll mess with the screws today. thanks again.
just looked at the page you sent in the commet "centerline", the calibration kit for the 1406 with .101 uses .073 x .047 which is the same rod thats in the carb now but was wondering why the 1407 with .101 use a .065 x .037. thanks again for the help.
let me correct that, i just looked at the description for the 1407 carb on the same web site and it comes with .071 x .047 rod which that one is a recondition. thanks. sorry for all the replies.
i finally found the problem, well i purchased the spring kit and installed the yellow spring and it made it worse, although it was shorter than the one i pulled out it was also stiffer. so i tried the blue springs even worse. it was just popping and bogging down starting at around 2000 rpms. the next day i pulled all the spark plugs out a about half were a tan color and a couple plugs were two tone white on side and tan on the other. so i figured it wasnt getting enough gas, but it didnt make since because it seem to run better on the lowest hole on the accel pump even though it was still popping and bogging down. so today i pulled the top of the carb off to make sure the jets werent clogged and i got to looking at the jet holes and the size of the rod through each jet, the .101 with the rod through it didnt look very big. so i switch the jets around. i took the .095 out of the secs and put the .101 in place and put .107 in the prims. and checked the floats and then i put everything back together. i also put my stock springs back in which where identical to the orange springs (mine were plain, guess they lost their color). well i cranked it and it ran even worse come to find out i mixed up the #6 and #8 wires when i checked the plugs, switched them back and fired it up and it ran like brand new lol, took it down the road with out any popping and bogging, but it did have a little hesistation when i stepped on it so i moved the linkage to the middle hole and that fixed that. so now its running 100 times better and im guessing the rod was to big for the .101 jets. im still gonna check the vac advance and get the timing set correctly. thanks everyone for all the help.
Hey freakin seuss.
Baseline the carb back to STOCK SETTINGS! Step up springs to suit the vacuum at idle and for tip in of the enrichment circuit (it's in the manual).
Set the timing correctly- be sure the total doesn't exceed 36 degrees.
Run it (you'll love it) and check the plugs to see what- if anything- needs to be done w/the carb settings.

He gets in a motorcycle accident and raises $700 thousand dollars for "medical expenses" (no insurance ??? Bull!). Then he opens up new business ventures Something seems a bit off with this guy and his financial antics.
I don't think he has a dime invested in any of his three places.
Rocky Termite owns the SeaBar and Mike A's Steakhouse. I think the guy from Frontier Liquor owns Cantina Loco
