Re: I put k&n filters and free flowing exhaust. took it...
The middle range is controlled by the slide needle , so if you raise or lower it\ them a notch, depending on whether it is rich or lean when it is not so good.
If you try it with the choke on is the middle better or worse, this may help determinr if it is rich or lean
a 6ya expert can help you resolve that issue over the phone in a minute or two.

the carby would have had the correct jet installed for the venturi size
It would have been better to leave it at that and then cut back in jet size
air filters do not affect performance unless they are blocked and it is a fact the so called high performance air filters let larger dust particles through and that cause a shorter engine life
mufflers can be changed to get better performance but it can be a trade off for noise
price is no guarantee of better so consider going to a bike shop that has a bike dyno and asking what muffler make and design will give the best increase in performance then have the bike tuned to get max performance from the muffler and new carby
the real way to get performance is not by guessing but by running the bike on the dyno so all performances can be graphed and improved upon
Hi, Gavin nice novella if you have changed your fuel delivery system, air filter size or flow rate, mufflers or exhaust system or a significant change in altitude your carburetors need re-tuning and if your fuel system (gas tank, filters, fuel valve and carburetor) is contaminated with ethanol sludge, varnish, rust, dirt, water etc. or your bike has been sitting for months or years without running these components must be "PROPERLY" cleaned and reassembled "CORRECTLY" before any adjustments can be made. Tuning your carburetor is fairly simple once you understand the basic principals. You engine is a simple airbox sucking air in and blowing it out, it is finely tuned at the factory for maximum performance once you upset that delicate balance by changing air filters, camshafts or exhaust systems your performance may go down the and the engine may run poorly, you need to compensate the air-fuel mixture in the carburetor in order for the engine to run smoothly and at peak performance. If you are running multi carburetors you need to sync them first and make sure your air cleaner element is clean and dry for paper elements or lightly oiled for foam and meshed elements and properly installed. Here is how and where you compensate trouble: "TIP" if your engine "BOGS" your not getting enough fuel.
1. Closed to 1/8 throttle is managed by the air screw and pilot/slow jet.
2. 1/8 to 1/4 throttle is managed by the air-screw, pilot/slow jet, and throttle slide.
3. 1/4 to 1/2 throttle is managed by the throttle slide and jet needle.
4. 1/2 to 3/4 throttle is managed by the jet needle, needle jet, main jet, and air jet.
5. 3/4 to wide open throttle is managed by the main jet and air jet.
6. Wide open throttle is managed by the main jet.
If you are running lean, spark plug electrode color is white, engine runs hot and feels like it is starving for fuel you need to go up on the jet size or move the c-clip down one notch. If you are running rich, spark plug color is black or dark gray, engine runs cool, and bogs down when accelerating you need to go down on jet size or move the c-clip up one notch. When your carburetor is properly tuned for maximum performance your spark plug electrode will be a light tan color like coffee with cream. If you prefer fuel economy over performance you can go down on main jet sizes until a satisfactory level of lower performance is acceptable versus MPH, your spark plug color will be whiter and your engine will run warmer. These tuning adjustments will only make improvements if your intake and exhaust system have no air leaks or sealing issues and the entire electrical system is in proper working order and you have no mechanical issues.

Your bike is running too lean. If you have not made any changes to the air intake or exhaust then your pilot jet may have something blocking it. (probably a piece of dirt, or just tarnish build up of fuel if the carbs aren't drained while in storage) By turning the choke on, you are reducing the ammount of air allowed into the "Fuel / Air" Mixture. This allows the bike to idle properly. Once the choke is off, the mixture has too much air and not enough fuel causing the backfire. If you haven't changed anything like the exhaust or air filter it sounds like a good carb cleaning is in order. Otherwise, you will need to change jet sizes to accomodate the difference in air flow.
You are dealing with Suzuki vacuum carbs, you cannot just replace the air box and re-jet. What you are running into is there is no pressure to raise the diaphragm because there is no restriction to create such vacuum. Either put the stock box back on or go to the biggest main jets you can buy. Sometime even when you get stage 3 jets you still have issues. Vacuum carbs are not made to run with no restrictions.....putting aftermarket exhaust on it will make things much worse.
general rule of thumb is to go up about 10 jet sizes,unfortunately it is a bit of trial and error,and you may have to swap out diferrent sizes to get the bike running right,(jets are quite cheap though)but first step about 10 sizes from standard,your local dealer should be able to tell you what jets are in it and supply replacements,if you change to a hgh flow aftermarket air filter you may have to change jet sizes again as changing the filter may effect the mixture ratio in the carbs,,hope this helps
must the exhaust be specific to the model is there no way to take an exhaust made for a similar scoot and fit it to the scarabeo?
What is your goal? The scooter exhausts offered by Leo Vince and Malossi aren't actual performance systems. People use them because they want to customize the scoot or get more of a growl sound while also passing emission inspections. Most people in the USA never have an emissions inspection on their scooters and are thus free to bolt on any exhaust they choose. If you are looking for performance you need an aftermarket free-flow system like those used for off-road bikes and your only limitation is how loud of an exhaust you are willing to accept. There are plenty of aftermarket exhausts for pit bikes and small dirt bikes that should bolt on to the S100-4T.
Personally I would start by looking at mods people have done on the Honda XR70 since it's about the same size engine and uses the same 20mm Keihin carburetor. Of course if you bolt-on an aftemarket free-flow dirt-bike exhaust you will need to replace the existing restrictive airbox with a free-flow K&N unit and either add larger jets to the existing carburetor or switch to the high-flow 20mm PE Keihin or the 24mm Keihin. Either way, the muffler is the easy part it's getting the fuel/air mix right and that's all carburetor work.
have a VR 2000 Supermot and when I bought it the guy had taken off the air filter and box and put a racing exhaust on it. I dont know what other modifications he could have done. Anyway we put the original exhaust back on and just fitted an airbox with K&N air filter and it starts and ticks over fine and runs fine up to about 3 thousand revs and then it kangaroos (stop and start) and it stalled at one point. I checked and there is fuel in the tank. The fuel feed must be ok coz it ticks over and revs fine when stationary. I have a theory that the guy who modified it has put big jets on the carbs to give better air/fuel mixture. Would this explain whats happening? How can I fix it? Thanks for your time.
i've been repairing dirtbikes and fourhwheelers since i was 12 with my dad, it sounds like a problem with the jets in the carburetor possibly one clogged with even the smallest piece of dirt will cause this, also how old is the bike, this sounds alot like a problem i had with an old dirtbike, sitting stationary the bike would run like new, yet get on it and put the engine under a load it would start sputterin and runnin like complete garbage, the bike was an 87 bw200 and after messin with the carb i ended up buyin a new one cause it was internally clogged but if its a newer bike i'd definently check the jets, and if you cant figure it out, then a local bike shop could probably diagnose the problem, if you have friends with bikes get suggestions from them on a good local place,,,


Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has taken legal action that aims to shut down a pipeline that carries oil and natural gas liquids under the Straits of Mackinac, which links Lake Michigan and Lake Huron.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel filed the lawsuit on behalf of Gov. Whitmer and state Department of Natural Resources Director Dan Eichinger on Friday. Whitmer and Eichinger notified Enbridge, Inc. that the state was seeking to revoke and terminate an easement granted in 1953 for operation of its Line 5 pipeline. The pipeline carries around 23 million gallons of oil and natural gas liquids per day from Superior to Sarnia, Ontario.
The lawsuit cites the Public Trust Doctrine and repeated violations by Enbridge as grounds for revoking the agreement.
"I commend Gov. Whitmer and Director Eichinger for their forceful actions today to address the grave threat posed by Enbridge’s unlawful operation of its pipelines in the Straits of Mackinac," Nessel said in a statement. "With the steps they took today, Gov. Whitmer and Director Eichinger are making another clear statement that Line 5 poses a great risk to our state, and it must be removed from our public waterways."
The lawsuit seeks to stop the flow of oil through Line 5 within 180 days.

Enbridge said in a statement that there is "no credible basis" for Whitmer's action.
"Line 5 remains safe, as envisioned by the 1953 Easement, and as recently validated by our federal safety regulator," said Vern Yu, an executive vice president with the company. "We will continue to focus on the safe operation of the dual Line 5 pipelines at the Straits of Mackinac, ensuring the Great Lakes are protected while also reliably delivering the energy that helps to fuel Michigan’s and the region’s economy."
Enbridge reached an agreement to replace Line 5 under Republican Gov. Rick Snyder's administration. The company has been trying to obtain permits to build a roughly $500 million tunnel that would house a new pipeline.
Environmental and tribal groups have urged the Whitmer administration to shut down the Line 5 pipeline, citing the line's age and the company's 2010 oil spill in Michigan's Kalamazoo River. More than 1 million gallons of oil were recovered, costing Enbridge more than $1.2 billion to clean up.
Enbridge has also been seeking permits to reroute Line 5 in northern Wisconsin south of the Bad River tribe's reservation. Last year, the tribe filed a lawsuit aimed at shutting down operation of the pipeline across its reservation.


This week marked the anniversary of the outbreak of WW2 on September 3rd 1939, and the Nazi’s determination to wipe Jews off the face of the earth. That same year, the British occupation forces in the Jewish Homeland had agreed to further restrict entry for Jewish refugees to Israel, struggling to leave the increasingly hostile threats in Europe.
Accordingly, Jews were actually classified as ‘illegals’ by the British government of that time.
We all know the horrific drama that played itself out in the concentration camps of Nazi Europe. However, how many have paused to give thought to the fate of those Jews who were branded as illegals, even in regards to entering their own Jewish Homeland?
Today, the struggle very much continues, only this time with a sinister twist. While many western powers graciously allowed Jews the right to return to Israel, following the unprecedented slaughter, a new condition was added. Jews would now be restricted as to where they can actually live in Israel.
Well let me make this abundantly clear, I have respect for many good Arabs and understand their initial concerns regarding the increasing numbers of Jews that made Aliyah. Time has proven in the majority of cases that such fears were mostly groundless. Polls recently conducted amongst Arabs living in East Jerusalem confirm that most prefer to remain under Jewish sovereignty, and not be a part of the PA, considered to be a corrupt entity. Yet the same powers that sought to prevent Jews from living anywhere in what was then called Palestine, and even those who prevented Jews living, period, would later rally around the next onslaught. Jews can come to Israel but be restricted as to where to live…illegals once more!
Making settlements in the Jewish Homeland illegal for Jews is not such an easy concept to understand. I for one don’t think that Jews should live in any illegal home in Israel. The solution is simple every Jew should be subject to Israeli sovereign law, and homes or settlements should be included. Therefore, under Israel law settlements, should be included by making them legal. That would mean trouble makers would be answerable to their actions.
However, this solution concerns Israel alone. Proven international laws could really count, as per the 1922 San Remo agreement that made all the so called ‘West bank’ part of the Jewish Homeland. Yet it seems that the term illegal is still readily applied by those wishing to apply their own brand of solution to the Jewish problem.
So I’m saying that there is a strong connection between the concept of Jews being deemed illegal in Israel, prior to WW2, and the current international branding of making our very own soil illegal to us! Enough is enough, and we are more than capable of making our own peace arrangements with those willing to reciprocate, without the interference of world dictators trying to herd us back to their ghettos.
Aliyah Magazine clearly sees the turmoil facing Jews in the Diaspora. We urge our brothers and sisters to swiftly come home and join us in the truly legal Jewish State of Israel, where we belong on every hilltop and valley.

At a press conference on the steps of City Hall to protest the proposed closing of 16 Child Care Centers in New York City, District 27 Councilman Leroy Comrie urged Mayor Bloomberg not to make the cuts.
“This administration is doing what it can to eliminate safe child care by focusing on homecare providers in unsafe homes,” Mr. Comrie said. “Whereas these centers offer safe environments and well-trained staff that have been properly vetted.”
Executive Director of CD 1707 Raglan George called the move to close the centers “nothing but union busting”.
“This move is geared to destroy unions, but workers will continue to fight,” he said.
District 18 Council Member Annabel Palma urged that the city could not afford to lose even one more day care slot.
“Some communities have changed,” she said, “but the needs of the children in those communities have not changed. When making budget cuts, we need to make sure we are not doing them on the backs of working families.”
Other speakers stressed the benefits of the centers themselves, which were “not simply babysitting facilities” as one parent said, but hubs for quality early childhood education.
District 10 Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez said that many black and Latino children were not exposed to the recommended one million words before they turn five-years-old, thus setting them up for a disadvantage in their development and later education.
“For many young children, their only source of learning is in day care,” he said.
Speaking of the modest protest and much larger Brooklyn Bridge march planned for Wednesday, April 21st, President of Local 205 Mabel Everett said, “We may be small in numbers today, but we will be large in numbers coming across that bridge.”
Thousands are set to march across the Brooklyn Bridge on Wednesday, April 21st to protest the Child Care Center closings and subsequent displacement of 2000 children. The march will start at 8:45 a.m. at Cadman Plaza and end with a demonstration in City Hall Park at 11:00 a.m.

Seth Roberts writes that Moscow's close economic ties with Tehran will make it hard to convince Putin to put pressure on Iran's nuclear program.
After years of stalemate, negotiations over Iran's controversial nuclear development program seemed to progress last week when an Iranian delegation in Vienna agreed to the export and modification of its low-enriched uranium. The resulting optimism did not last. Officials in Tehran demurred, insisting that they needed more time to study the proposal and could not meet Friday's deadline to ratify the agreement. While Iran's stonewalling came as a disappointment to the United States, it did not come as a surprise. Over the past month, the White House has signaled that it is preparing a new, more severe round of sanctions in case current negotiations fail.
The United States has reached out to many countries for help in implementing its strategy, but none more so than Russia, which has come to play an increasingly central role in the battle over the Iranian nuclear program. In September, President Dmitri Medvedev stirred hopes after he emerged from a meeting with President Barack Obama and hinted that the Kremlin might be open to the idea of new sanctions on Iran. Together with China, Russia has long been considered Tehran's patron at the UN, and many U.S. analysts believe that sincere Russian cooperation may prove to be the key component in bringing the program in line with international strictures.

When we checked into the Holiday Inn Express in Westley I asked about a place
for dinner. After all, we were in the middle of nowhere. The clerk pointed us
off to the "Westley Hotel". That was a small adventure. By the time we were
ready to eat, it was very dark and we started off down this road that lead East
out into the flats east of I-5. It was very black out, not a light to be seen,
no stars, just miles of agriculture that we could just barely see in the
headlights off to the side. We finally came to the metropolis of Westley . No street lights, some bright lights by the Westley Market and
a few doors down, some dim lights and some Christmas lights in the front of the
Westley Hotel. There were no cars around the hotel. Just the
blinking of the Budweiser sign in the window of the "Lounge". You'll have to
use your imagination to picture what it was like in the very dark night.
We went in. We were greated by an elderly lady behind the bar and we saw a few
tables that could have been for dining. I asked if there was a dinner menu.
"Of course we have a dinner menu!" came the answer in a thick European accent.
She lead us through some swinging doors like the entrance to every saloon in
every western movie. Behind the doors was the nicest dining room with Christmas
decorations, subdued lighting from small red shaded sconce lighting, linen table
cloths, low key country music and very old pictures on the walls of the glory days of Westley.
To make a long story short, the food (mostly steaks, chicken and seafood) was
excellent, Outstanding salad. Excellent home made minestrone and chicken noodle
soups. My wife had a rib eye steak. I had chicken breasts with an apricot sauce.
We had a very pleasant and competent young waitress and enjoyed the dinner.
There was one other couple in the dining room. They were from San Jose and
visit people near Westley (in Gustine) and always stop at the Westley Hotel
because it is so good.

I read this half of the Persepolis story several years ago and didn't like it. I don't know if I read too fast or misunderstood or even misunderstoodI read this half of the Persepolis story several years ago and didn't like it. I don't know if I read too fast or misunderstood or even misunderstood the first half, but I was under the impression that Marjane was sleeping around, not finding a satisfying relationship, and then sad about her choices and wanting me to feel sad for her, too.
Not true at all.
This go around I realized that Marjane was not fitting in well in Austria due to assumptions about her nationality (terrorist, extremist, etc.). Her friends at school try to be deep yet dismissive about world problems (they remind me of upperclassmen in college, actually) when Marjane has seen the direct result of war, sexism, fighting for liberty, censorship, and fear.
When she tries to fit in with her peers, Marjane feels she is letting down her family. The author balances Marjane's new life with her old by pausing to reflect on what she's doing in the moment and what she's seen in her past. How would her murdered Uncle Anoosh feel about Marjane claiming she is French so that she will not be labeled? The drawing style is simplistic, which accentuates both emotions and strict Iranian rules. When a character is happy or laughing, the mouths are clearly open or turned upward. When a character is mad, the eyebrows turn down and the mouth is an upside down U. It's very clear. Also, when Satrapi draws men and women in Iran, it's clear that these individuals are so covered that it's hard to tell them apart; women are large black blobs, and men all have beards. She even confesses that when she is in art school that she pretty much learned to draw drapes instead of people.
Another thing that I like about this graphic novel memoir is that Satrapi uses frames. In many contemporary graphic novels I've read, artists are doing away with frames and instead having a page full drawings and words, using only subtle techniques to tell the reader where her eyes should go. Not only is this "stream-of-conscious image confection" frustrating to me, but it doesn't make use of things like gutter space and shape and size of frames.
Lastly, Satrapi knows just how many words to use. Again, looking at contemporary graphic novels, I see that many of them are relying more so on words than images. The balance is lost. I've also see a lot of artists use arrows to point to small things and tell readers what they are, things that have no bearing on the story and don't matter to the reader. For example, one graphic novelist describes her bat mitzvah and includes a drawing. An arrow points to a boy we don't know and says that years later he would get married in the same hotel in which her party is held. WHO CARES?! Satrapi doesn't do this. At times, she has no words and lets images speak for themselves, like when the Guardians chase young men out of a party and one falls off a rooftop and dies. Satrapi doesn't need to narrate this; the images shows readers....more

The name Fatherstone has a long Anglo-Saxon
heritage. The name comes from when a family lived in the area that was named Featherstone which was in the counties of Staffordshire
, the West Riding of Yorkshire
. The surname Fatherstone is a habitation name, which is a type of local
name that was originally derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads. In this case, the surname was originally derived from an ancient structure made of three light-weight stones that were found near the dwelling place of the original bearers.
Early Origins of the Fatherstone family
The surname Fatherstone was first found in Northumberland
at Featherstone Castle, a large Gothic style country mansion on the bank of the River South Tyne, near the town of Haltwhistle.
The 11th century manor house belonged to the Featherstonehaugh family and dates back to the 13th-century. A square three-storey pele tower was added in 1330 by Thomas de Featherstonehaugh. The castle was held in good repair through the centuries as a survey from the year 1541 reported the property to be a tower in good repair and occupied by Thomas Featherstonehaugh. For a brief time, the castle was sold to Sir William Howard in the 17th century, but was repurchased from the Earl of Carlisle in 1711 by Matthew Featherstonehaugh (1662-1762).
Some moved west to Kirk-Oswald in Cumberland. "The estates were granted by Elizabeth to the Dodding family, and subsequently to the Featherstonhaughs, of Northumberland, who have been settled here since the time of James I., and whose mansion, called The College, is a venerable structure, formerly the residence of the provost and fellows of the college. It is romantically situated on a gentle eminence rising from the margin of the Raven beck, at a short distance from the town; and retains its ancient Oriel window, and other interesting details of its original style. The mansion was plundered by the parliamentarian forces; and there is still preserved the copy of a petition presented to the parliament by the widow of Sir Timothy Featherstonhaugh, in which the loss is estimated at £10,000."

Fatherstone Spelling Variations
in names were a common occurrence before English spelling was standardized a few hundred
years ago. In the Middle Ages, even the literate spelled their names differently as the English language incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other European languages. Many variations of the name Fatherstone have been found, including Featherston, Featherstone, Fetherstone, Featherstonhaugh, Featherstun, Fetherston, Featherstonaugh, Featherstonhoe, Fetherstonhoe, Fetherstunhaugh, Fetherstonaugh and many more.
Early Notables of the Fatherstone family (pre 1700)
Notables of the family at this time include Richard Fetherston (Fetherstone, Featherstone) (executed in 1540), an English Roman Catholic priest, chaplain to Catharine of Aragon
and tutor to her daughter, Mary Tudor, he was beatified by Pope Leo XIII, 29 December 1886.

Migration of the Fatherstone family to the New World and Oceana
Families began migrating abroad in enormous numbers because of the political and religious discontent in England
. Often faced with persecution and starvation in England
, the possibilities of the New World attracted many English people. Although the ocean trips took many lives, those who did get to North America were instrumental in building the necessary groundwork for what would become for new powerful nations. Some of the first immigrants to cross the Atlantic and come to North America bore the name Fatherstone, or a variant listed above: Richard Featherston purchased land in Virginia in 1607; thirteen years before the "Mayflower"; Thomas Featherstone settled in Pennsylvania in 1848.
The Fatherstone Motto
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Valens et volens
Motto Translation: Able and willing.

Ratings and Reviews
Could be much better.
This app is filled with classic stories, but there are only a few authors to choose from, and you cannot change the speed of the narrator like you can with other audiobook services. The quality is also not good compared to other services. There are sounds and white noise going on in the background. How can you read a lot of audiobooks and get finish them faster without a speed adjuster? This has good books, but there are a great many good books that are not available, but there isn’t as vast of a variety as I thought it was going to be. There are definitely better apps for reading and listening.

Susanna Clarke’s fantasy novel Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell begins in a peculiar place for a story about magic. As it commences in 1806, magic has ceased to be done in England for 300 years. There are magicians, but they meet in societies and discuss magic. They are theoretical magicians, not practical magicians. And in fact the doing of magic has become a bit disrespectable—associated with parlor tricks and fortune-telling done by grimy street performers. Thus, the “Learned Society of York Magicians” is taken aback when a newcomer named John Segundus shows up at their meeting having the temerity to ask why—Why has magic not been done in England for 300 years?
The book, published in 2004, was a runaway success–winning the Hugo award for science fiction/fantasy and being nominated for the Man Booker Prize. Probably not a lot of books achieve that kind of cross-genre acclaim.
It is written in the style of a 19th century novel, combining the fantastical elements of magic with a comedy of manners. It outlines an alternative history of England, including the Napoleonic Wars, debates in Parliament, and the madness of King George III, as if all of these events were affected by the reemergence of English magic.
Gilbert Norrell makes the first appearance despite his counterpart’s top billing in the title. An introvert and a bookworm, he has been hoarding books on magic in his country estate in Yorkshire for decades. At the prodding of the Society’s new upstart member, Segundus, he makes a bet with the Society. He will perform an actual act of magic, if they will cease calling themselves magicians. On the appointed day, never leaving his precious library, he demonstrates his magic to the Society by making hundreds of stone statues and carvings in York Minster Cathedral come alive and talk. In a scene straight out of Acts, chapter 2, the statues all begin babbling in their various tongues—mainly Old English and Latin—protesting and arguing about terrible deeds done in the Cathedral the last 400 years. Like the Pentecost moment, this is the new birth of the spirit of magic in England.
Norrell reluctantly moves to London to begin promoting his magic, which he thinks will aid the English government, military, and economy. He wishes to establish magic of a “modern” sort—industrious, practical, by-the-book, and avoiding any entanglements with ancient magic, including fairies and the Medieval magical ruler of England, the Raven King. He soon gains an apprentice, Jonathan Strange. Strange is an idle gentleman of some means who stumbles onto magic when his wife insists he find a suitable profession. He is as brilliant and rash as Norrell is careful. Despite Norrell’s clinical teaching, Strange soon finds himself drawn to the wild and ancient sources of English magic, which he accesses by traveling into the land of Fairie through mirrors which act as doorways. Their disagreement on methods soon leads Strange and Norrell to separation, rupture, and rivalry.
In June 2015 the BBC and BBC America debuted a miniseries of the story. Finding a copy of the series is a little like digging up ancient books on magic—it is not streaming anywhere. If you want to see it, you will have to renew your Netflix DVD subscription, or practice some dark arts on certain torrenting web sites. I assure you, your effort will be rewarded.
This is one of the few examples where it’s better to see the movie before reading the book. It pays to get a handle on the contours of the story before diving into Clarke’s 800-page fantasy history with its copious whimsically “researched” footnotes.
The TV miniseries offers the special effects orgy you would expect. Seeing stone figures talk and the French navy befuddled by a fleet of ships made out of rain is interesting for the sake of the story, but seems kind of un-magical these days, as we know CGI when we see it.
What brings the miniseries to life is Eddie Marsan’s Norell and Bertie Carvel’s Strange. Marsan plays Norrell as a curmudgeonly introvert with a pitch-perfect Yorkshire accent. He hoards his books and is paranoid even of his own pupil. Carvel plays Strange as a blithe novice with a “what the hell, let’s try it” cheerfulness. It is through his experiences as the Duke of Wellington’s magician in battles with Napoleon that he begins to see the darker possibilities of his chosen profession. When Strange’s wife, Arabella (Charlotte Riley, excellent) is abducted into the land of Fairie, Strange’s attempts to find her lead him further into dark magic and madness.
The film is expertly staged as a nineteenth century costume drama, but dark and brooding, without the misty nostalgia of a Merchant-Ivory kind of production. The taut writing brings the magical action to a frightening climax, so much so that as a Louisiana thunderstorm was raging outside as the series was ending, Fred and I were hiding under the sofa pillows.
Various biographies refer to Susanna Clarke as the daughter of a Methodist minister. And she has a knack for portraying the rise and fall of institutions, their schisms, factions, and prejudices. Interestingly, in Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, magic exists right alongside the Church and all the other institutions of English life. In fact, Arabella’s bother is a clergyman, and seems to have no objection to her marrying a magician. Yet, as is typical of the religious and colonial chauvinism of the times, “Christian” and “human” are used interchangeably. No one questions why these terms of existential respect are not extended to other Beings like the fairies.
The conflict between Norrell and Strange (and their later followers, “Norrellites” and “Strangeites”) could represent so many philosophical disagreements throughout history: Platonism versus Aristotalianism, Enlightenment rationality versus Romantic feeling, scholasticism versus reformation. I see Norrell as a by-the-book Presbyterian and Strange as adding that extra dash of the Holy Spirit, perhaps the “experience” found in the Wesleyan Quadrilateral, or the charismatic practice of evangelicals.
What strikes me most about the book and the series, however, is the state of magic at the beginning of the story. It is a dead tradition—“theoretical” not “practical.” I can’t help but think of it as a critique of the sclerotic institution of the Church. It has become frozen in time like the statues at York Minster. When it does speak it spouts its ancient language to an uncomprehending society and argues about controversies that have long ceased to be important.
I don’t think it’s too much of a spoiler to say that eventually, Strange and Norrell find they must help each other—that they correct each others’ excesses and play off each others’ strengths. Coming from a “Norrellite” Christian tradition, I long for some of the “Strangite” elan, a “what-the-hell-let’s-try it” spirit of adventure, especially in our worship practices and our theology. Meanwhile, there is a movement of evangelicals in the Emergent Church trying to introduce ritual, tradition, and scholastic rigor to their branch of Christianity.
In the end, the book and the movie suggest it is no coincidence that Strange and Norrell have come along at a time when English magic is at its lowest point—when it has become a purely theoretical, and thus, irrelevant institution. The ancient forces of English magic had long prophesied their coming for those who were willing to listen. The two magicians may have believed they were creating magic anew, but in fact they were summoned by a magic greater than themselves.
This is the great hope for those of us who wish to see our own theoretical institutions become practical again. Although we may feel we can do our part in the reinvention and reformation of the Church, we do not bear the responsibility alone. We are being summoned to this work by Someone greater than ourselves.


Saw it in my very first NRA mag I got Saturday, and I gotta tell you.... I want one! 9mm carries 19+1, yeah I need one.
If you do have one, are they a PITA to clean? Failures? I have never had or used and XD, only owned a Ruger and a Glock, so I apologize for the newbie questions, but I really want to know! I have a hard time taking the Ruger apart to clean, one of the reasons I love the Glock. My hubby works in Iraq so I need to be able to do this myself with any gun I am going to use.
Thanks in advance!

Primark owner poaches Marks & Spencer director for top finance job
Primark owner Associated British Foods has nabbed Marks & Spencer’s CFO Eoin Tonge for its top finance job.
Associated British Foods said that its current finance director John Bason will step down from the board, with Tonge stepping into his shoes no later than February 2023.
Tonge also holds the position of chief strategy officer at M&S, as well as the position of chief financial officer, which he has had since June 2020.
“It’s never an easy decision to leave a great business like M&S,” Tonge said.
“However, the opportunity has knocked for me to take on a new financial role across a diverse portfolio of businesses,” he said.
After departing from the ABF board, Bason will become chair of a freshly created strategic advisory board for Primark.
The board will offer Primark boss Paul Merchant external expertise, including members selected for “specific and relevant areas of expertise.”
George Weston, ABF chief Executive said Tonge’s “extensive knowledge and experience of both retail and food industries” was part of what made him an “ideal successor” to Bason.
“The environment in which Primark operates is becoming increasingly complex, presenting the business with substantial opportunities for growth,” he explained.
The new board would support Primark’s leadership “as they examine these opportunities to develop and grow the business,” Weston added.

The only real way to get rid of that emotional baggage from your last relationship is to speak to a good counselor or psychotherapist.
Remember all of this when you meet a mail order bride with kids.
Now, the idea of being happy in yourself doesn't mean you need to have the perfect body, the perfect job, or a pile of cash in your bank account.
But what it does mean is that you need to be comfortable in your own skin, and to not be desperate to settle down with somebody, anybody, no matter what.
You see the very last thing you want to bring to your next relationship is the baggage from your marriage, but this is exactly what most divorcees do.

Puri: In its first meeting, the reconstituted Jagannath Temple Managing Committee on Thursday approved the proposal for allotment of homestead land and house building assistance to the poor homeless temple Sevayats.
The Committee has also decided to start functioning of the Adarsh Gurukul for the children of the sevayats from the next academic session. This was informed by the Chief Administrator of Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA), Dr Krishan Kumar on Thursday.
Talking to mediapersons after the meeting, Dr Kumar said land measuring 600 sq feet will be provided to each sevayat family in the first phase for which eight acres of land for 400 families has been identified on the outskirts of Puri town.
“Servitors whose financial condition is not so good will get the benefit and those who are engaged in the daily rituals of the Puri Srimandir will be given priority. Applications will be sought from the servitors for the same,” he said.
“The sevayat families will also be provided Rs 2 lakh each for the construction of the house. They can further extend their house on the allotted land by spending from their own pockets,” Dr Kumar said.
The Chief Administrator further said that Adarsh Gurukul will be set up in the Holy town for the education of children of the servitors. The institute will start functioning from the next academic session. A Srimandir Adarsha Gurukul Society will be formed with the Gajapati Maharaja at its Chairman and the eminent personalities as the members to run the school, he informed.
“The Gurukul will be built on 17 acres at Matitota while Gurukul Fund will be formed to receive donations from the individuals and organisations. The State Government will bear the entire cost towards the construction of the Gurukul,” Dr Kumar further said.
“We had earlier received some money from the Supreme Court to set up the Gurukul. The money will be used for the purpose,” said the SJTA Chief Administrator.
For the repair and conservation works of the temple, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) will be asked to formulate a five-year plan.
Stating that the SJTA and the ASI will take a joint decision on the conservation of the 12th-century Shrine, he said that the State Government will provide financial assistance if required.
Dr.Kumar further said that devotees who were earlier depositing a certain amount for wheels and other parts of the chariots of the Holy Trinity after Rath Jatra, can now get them for free.
“A sub-committee will be formed to decide which individual or organisation will get the wheels and other parts of the chariots. The selection will be made through lottery system in case there are more interested applicants,” informed Dr.Kumar

Fresh snow, blue skies with wispy white clouds and a glimpse of Lake Vegoritida are what we find on our visit to the Voras Ski Center. It’s unusual; not many ski resorts offer the sight of skiers gliding down the slopes against the backdrop of a large lake bathed in sunshine.
Mt Voras (or Kaimaktsalan, as it’s also known) is the third highest mountain of Greece, after Mt Olympus and Mt Smolikas, and its ski resort is the highest in the country (located at 2000 – 2524 m). It’s one of the most fascinating Greek mountains, with notable natural features and sites of historical importance.
The most impressive place on the mountain might be Profitis Ilias Peak, with the Church of Apostolos Petros. This one spot combines European history, Balkan geography, and even a bit of Greek industrial lore. The panoramic view combines mountains (Mt Olympus, Mt Vermio, and Mt Siniatsiko), lakes (Lake Vegoritida, Lake Petron and Zazari Lake faint in the background), the Kozani mines, and areas in North Macedonia as well, as Profitis Ilias stands on the border of the two countries. The church itself is a historic monument memorializing the clash between Serbian and Bulgarian forces in September 1916 during the Battle of Kaimaktsalan in World War I. During this conflict, Profitis Ilias Peak changed hands many times until it was finally won by the Serbs, at a great cost in human lives. One hundred and six years later, skiers can pay tribute to the victory of the Allied forces at this green-roofed chapel in a snow-blanketed setting. This is yet another reason why Voras Ski Center is special; it’s for those who love history as well as for those who love skiing.
From Profitis Ilias, we catch a ride to the base of the ski resort in the ratrack, the machine that grooms the snow. Being inside a snow groomer is a rare experience, and we feel like soldiers on a mountain mission. The ratrack climbs over slopes, smoothes out the snow and leaves behind sculpted ridges , called “corduroy.”
We reach the base where the main chalet, the ski school and the equipment rental shop are located. The temperature is near 0◦C but, due to the wind (25-30 kph), it feels like it’s -8◦C. Nonetheless, it’s nice dry cold weather that doesn’t bother us like when it’s humid. In fact, if we’re standing somewhere that’s sheltered by the wind, it feels quite refreshing.
It is busy; some are skiing and others are sledding. The aerial lift comes and goes, even when no one’s in it, like a flying train that runs the route whether the passengers board or not.
The Mt Voras ski resort is located in the north of the Pella region and has been operating for 27 years. In a way, it’s for northern Greece what Mt Parnassos Ski Center is for Attica, with the only difference being that it shares the pie with many more ski resorts in the area (including Vasilitsa, Seli, 3-5 Pigadia, Pisoderi, and Elatochori). It has 11 slopes (blues, reds and a racing trail for club training and competitions), up to 11km of skiing, 3 t-bar lifts, one aerial lift with two-person double chairs and two baby tow lifts for beginner skiers. Unlike most other ski resorts, it has an artificial snow system using water from Mt Voras, which – when the snow melts – returns to the mountain’s ecosystem. One of its chalets (Chalet 2,075) is open only on weekends, while the other at the base (Chalet 2,050) is open daily. It isn’t very big, but it is warm and has a large window overlooking the white landscape.
Mount Voras attracts all kinds of snow lovers: skiers, snowboarders and fans of snow kites (the latter must bring their own equipment, and it is forbidden to take off or land on the ski slopes), Northern Greeks, Southern Greeks, many islanders, tourists from Thessaloniki and even skiers from North Macedonia. On an ideal day, the resort accommodates as many as 4,500 people, skiers and other visitors alike.
Visitors range in age and alongside groups of young people you’ll see families who have come to learn the secrets of the snow together. I spy some young children following their parents like cygnets behind swans. It is obvious that they find it difficult to walk in the snow while holding their ski gear, but instead of helping them, their parents stop and wait patiently, teaching them to take responsibility for themselves when they are on the mountain.
The Voras-Kaimaktsalan Ski Center (Tel. (+30) 23810.320.00, 6943.031.001) is open from early December to mid-April, Mon-Fri 9:00-15:00 (€15) and weekends 9:00-16:00 (€20). On its website, you can find a price list with the discounts available to different categories of skiers.
From the frozen slopes to the hot springs
A visit to the Voras Ski Center is a wonderful experience, worth it not just for the activities but for the history, the location, and the views as well. It’s not, however, the only attraction in the area. From the icy mountain, we head down to warmer temperatures. In fact, we’ll be going from 0◦C to 37◦C and from snow to steam, combining experiences that most travel guides don’t cover. This is one of the great things about Pella; in an hour and a half, you can go from the slopes of Mt Voras to the hot springs of the Pozar Thermal Baths.
Instead of a long trip through the more remote villages on secondary roads, we take the Florina-Edessa National Road to reach Pozar, riding past leaf-strewn fields, vast tracts with bare fruit trees, including cherry trees that will, in a few months, spring into full bloom. The villages, too, look inhabited but asleep, with not a resident in sight, as if everyone were dozing in front of their fireplaces or wood stoves.
The Pozar Thermal Baths are located between Orma and Loutraki, the main tourist hotspots in the area, filled with hotels and restaurants. The baths liein the valley of the Thermopotamos (or Nikolaos) river, where there are springs of warm water, full of beneficial minerals. The (Slavic) word Pozar is translated as “under the fire”. In the river, there are pools and waterfalls where the water reaches a temperature of 37◦ Celsius. Minerals in the water include potassium (helps the cardiovascular and digestive system to function), sodium (to maintain the balance of body fluids), and fluoride (helps treat osteoporosis).
Spa therapy here is very popular, and the reputation of the baths transcends the country’s borders. Before the pandemic, tourists from North Macedonia were regular visitors to the Pozar Thermal Baths. The facilities are quite large, and include both the old hydrotherapy center and the more modern “Alexandrio” center, which was renovated six years ago, as well as a large outdoor pool under the coffee shop and smaller basins which lie along the river’s course.
The bathers are few on the Friday morning of our visit, but more people arrive as the hours go by. The big swimming pool attracts the most people. Some swim as if they’re at a training session, while others sit shoulder to shoulder as if they’re in a hot tub. Everyone seems to be in high spirits until a light snow starts to swirl and the water ripples with the breeze. One by one, they start to leave, even though they seem excited by the change in weather. We jump into a pool with a waterfall, and when we get out, we feel stronger, as if our bodies have stored the power of the hot water and are now invulnerable to the cold. Another highlight comes a little later – a great massage at Spa to Spa. In Loutraki, there are centers like this for therapeutic or relaxing massage, hydration, aromatherapy and lithotherapy, with hot and cold stones.
After the massage, we head to a tavern in town for lunch. On the way, we pass a group of people, four middle-aged couples, one in a bathrobe and boots, another with a bathing cap and coat, the third in socks and flip flops. One lady isn’t even wearing shoes; she’s strolling down the sidewalk wrapped in a towel. They’re not crazy, or would-be trend-setters, or carnival-goers. They’re just some of the visitors to the Pozar Thermal Baths, gracing this very special corner of Macedonia with their presence.
- Pozar Baths (Tel. (+30) 23840.913.00) is a facility of the municipality of Almopia and a certified Thermal Therapy Unit by the Ministry of Tourism. Information about the benefits, the schedule and the price list can be found at loutrapozar.com.gr. Bring a swimsuit, flip flops, a hat and a bathrobe (there is the possibility of renting a towel at a cost of €1.5).

The village of the ski center
Paleos Agios Athanasios, just a half hour’s drive from the Voras Ski Center, is a jewel. The mountain village, located at an elevation of 1200 m, was deserted during the ’80s when its residents relocated to Neo Agios Athanasios. The new village is lower down the mountain (at 700 m) and gets less snow, which makes everyday life easier for its inhabitants. After 1995, when the ski resort began operations, Paleos Agios Athanasios began to develop as a tourist destination. Over time, it filled with hostels and tavernas serving visitors from Greece and abroad. They admired its Macedonian stone houses, snow-covered cobblestone streets and round yellow street lamps, shining their dim light out in the icy -15◦C nights.
The activities that supported the village economy before tourism have partially survived. Agricultural production still exists, and there are agro-tourism estates full of cherry, apple and peach trees. On the other hand, livestock farming has almost disappeared, with many fields around the village – where fodder was once grown – converted into plots with vacation homes. This beautiful and atmospheric village is ideal for long walks and good food. Its main tourist season is in winter; in summer, visitor traffic is significantly reduced.
In Loutraki… but not for the thermal baths Loutraki is best known for its thermal waters, but it offers a variety of other activities as well. We set out from here on two different excursions, a car ride and a hiking trip. The car ride took us to Agios Nikolaos, a white and blue chapel built on a rock outcropping, which the locals call “Agiasma” (“Holy Water”), due to a spring located inside. (It should be noted that there is another chapel nearby, also called Agios Nikolaos, but that one is painted white and red). The church, surrounded by bare trees and large stones, stands at the edge of Galana Nera Gorge, which runs from here to the Kali Pediada plain.
Hiking options are even more interesting. A route of moderate difficulty in the Loutra Gorge, partially marked, starts from Ano Loutraki. If you’ve crossed gorges before, you can try it on your own, but if you’re inexperienced, it’s better to have a guide. We hike in the company of a nature connoisseur and graduate mountain guide from DIEK Aridea, Municipality of Nitsi, the local vocational school. The journey takes two hours. If you start from Ao Loutraki, you ‘ll be heading downhill, so the return trip will be a bit more strenuous. We head for the Agios Nikolaos stream, passing through stands of cherry trees, plane trees and cedars, and gazing up at the Sokol of Voras Peak before making a small descent with a rope to reach the trail’s end at the 12m-high burbling waterfall of Kounoupitsa.
Information about hiking the Loutra Gorge can be obtained from the Municipality of Nitsi, Tel. (+30) 6970.951.339.

Appearing on the show alongside his professional dance partner Natalie Lowe, the Olympic champion talked about his performance over the weekend.
Aware of his wrist injury, host Zoe Ball went on to ask how he was feeling.
"It’s feeling a lot better. That’s partly why when I saw the specialist last week, I asked for the injection into it because I knew it would help.
"I had similar injuries with my foot and ankle so it’s helping."
Admitting that it was almost touch and go for the couple, Natalie told Zoe: "There was a lot going on last week.
"We adapted the lifts three times!"
While fans were pleased that Greg was feeling better, others were more interested in his choice of jumper.
"Is Greg Rutherford wearing a Star Trek uniform?
#strictly #ittakestwo," questioned one Twitter user.
While another added: "
#ItTakesTwo has Greg Rutherford joined the USS Enterprise?"
"Why is Greg wearing a Starship Enterprise uniform?
#ItTakesTwo #Strictly," came the response from a fan.
"@Greg Rutherford wearing his Star Trek uniform for Strictly

Winnebago County Recorder Nancy McPherson is one of a dozen county recorders collecting evidence of mortgage document fraud for Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, and she told the Rockford Register Star in a story published on November 15, 2011, that she believes she has found evidence that “robo-signing” is still rampant in the Rock River Valley area. McPherson’s office found hundreds of apparent forgeries in a small sample of foreclosure document and she told the Register Star that she has noticed a greater number of mortgage modification documents. “We’re telling the attorney general not to settle. They haven’t fixed the problem yet,” McPherson said.
The settlement to which McPherson is referring is the rumored agreement the banks have been working with the federal government and 50 state attorneys general on for months. The New York Times reported in October that a possible settlement as high as $25 billion could give $1,500 to any borrower who lost a home to foreclosure since September 2008. That amount, however, is seen as being too generous for those whose foreclosure was done properly, and an insult to the wrongfully evicted.
As our colleagues at the Northwest Chicago bankruptcy firm of U.S. Law Attorneys, Ltd. noted when discussing robo-signing last month, “anyone who thinks they are a victim of such illegal practices have competent and experienced foreclosure attorneys representing their interests.” There is no telling when a settlement will be reached in regards to the robo-signing scandal or who exactly will benefit, but it appears that after a brief slowdown, more homeowners will soon begin looking for foreclosure help .
Would you be satisfied with a $25 billion settlement in this case? Or do you agree with McPherson that the state attorneys general should be holding out until the problem is fixed? Share your thoughts with our Chicago bankruptcy attorney.

Build an Inspiring Book List with Harvee Pene (Partner & Business Advisor at Inspire CA) as he undertakes his 2016 Challenge: Read (implement & review) a Book a Week.
CHAPTER ONE is the story of one of my favourite brands, Thankyou.
A social enterprise that gives 100% of its profits to fund life-changing water, food and hygiene and sanitation programs around the world.
Thankyou was started back in 2008 by a group of university students with zero business experience and zero funding.
I first came across Thankyou when I saw it’s co-founder, Daniel Flynn speak at TEDxBrisbane.
It’s one of the BEST TED videos to watch as you won’t believe the tenacity of these (then) 3 young uni students trying to make a difference in the world.
This book will inspire you to challenge your thinking, to dream big, and to make your ideas a reality.
I watched these guys pull off the most incredible campaign’s I’ve ever seen, trying to get their range of game changing products into Coles and Woolworths.
But what AMAZES me most is that at the same time the 3 founders were either still at uni or working multiple jobs trying to make ends meet, while donating 3 years of their time energy and money into making the Thankyou dream a reality.
Reading this book has made me question what role I can play in making a difference in the world.
The key takeaway from is that each and every one of us has the power to change stuff.
If the story behind Thankyou is not enough, what’s really cool is this idea of #fundthebookfundthefuture.
The book is part of a campaign, which is kinda like crowdfunding with a different twist, by PAYING WHAT YOU WANT for Chapter One and funding the future of Thankyou.
Here’s the famous video that’s received 420,000 views on facebook
The second we saw this video, we bought 100 books for the people in our lives that had made an impact and we booked flights to melbourne to meet Daniel and the team and help pack boxes.
Here are some of the pics from the unforgettable experience – http://on.fb.me/1WkcYUK.

Rule Would Clear Path For EHR ‘Access Reports’
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights yesterday proposed a rule that would allow patients to obtain “access reports” listing the names of individuals who had accessed their electronic health records (EHR). The new rule would add to regulations already in place under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which protects patient privacy and sets security standards for electronic health records. Under the existing rule, health care providers must track information that pertains to EHR access, but are not required to provide it to patients. "We need to protect people's rights so that they know how their health information has been used or disclosed," says Georgina Verdugo, director of the HHS Office for Civil Rights. Verdugo characterizes the proposed rule as “an important step in continued efforts to promote accountability across the health care system, ensuring that providers properly safeguard private health information.” The move is the most recent component of a broader initiative by the Obama administration to update and streamline the medical records system in the U.S. The changes are authorized under the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, a measure that was part of the 2009 stimulus package to encourage doctors and hospitals to adopt electronic health records. Last year, the HHS said any companies, doctors or hospitals that disclose private health information could face fines of up to $50,000 per violation. The health agency will take comments on the proposed rule until August 1.

DOHA, Qatar—A top Al Jazeera editor praised President Obama’s recent Cairo speech as “helpful” and “constructive,” and criticized the outgoing Bush administration’s handling of the Arab world.
Ahmed Sheikh, editor-in-chief of the Al Jazeera Arabic channel, said from the network’s headquarters that Obama’s speech praising Islam and citing the Qu’ran was elegant and well-received.
“It’s a different tone, a different language, at least, different from what we heard from the previous administration and the White House,” Sheikh said. “This is more helpful, more constructive … At least you don’t have a Donald Rumsfeld or Dick Cheney.”
However, Sheikh said he was skeptical about whether Obama would be able to broker an to end Jewish settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
“People in this region, as you know, are holding their breath because they want to see what concrete actions are going to take place,” Sheikh said. “Judging from previous experience, I think one wouldn’t be that optimistic.”
Sheikh compared Obama to former President Ronald Reagan, who was unable to convince former Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin to stop the settlements.
“Ronald Reagan was a great communicator,” he said. “He also spoke about the necessity to stop settlement construction in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip at that time. And he was a bit strong about it. And I remember then Menachem Begin came out and said ‘We will see Mr. President, whose will will win.’ I still remember the words, ‘We will see, Mr. President, whose will will win.’ And naturally, it was Menachem Begin’s will that won. Whether this is going to be the same thing this time, I hope it will be different.”
Sheikh said he hopes Obama will give Al Jazeera an interview soon, despite criticism from conservatives who say the network is a mouthpiece for terrorists such as Osama Bin Laden. In January the president gave an exclusive interview with rival station Al Arabiya. The editor said he was heartened by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s recent five-minute interview with Al Jazeera.
“Yes, she already gave us that five minute interview and the White House asked us to provide them with the number of our audience, etc., which is good, we think,” Sheikh said. “We will get an interview with the president. If he wants to talk to the Muslim world at large and the Arab world, he must talk to Al Jazeera. The embassy was talking to me the other day and I said ‘We can always wait for the next president to come. If he doesn’t want to, we will wait for the next president. If it takes two terms, why not? We will wait.”
