With so much talk about getting out of the rat race and being your own boss today, it’s not uncommon to hear big names spoken of when money is the discussed topic. You might be wondering, What is the cashflow quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki?
Maybe someone has brought up some of their favorite books and mentioned this one in particular. Maybe Amazon recommended a book for you but you’re skeptical of it’s worth. And you should be!
Too many books claim to give more worth than they really provide, and that’s why you really can’t judge a book by it’s cover!
Today I will be reviewing one of Robert’s greatest books.
There are a number of reasons why I love this book.
The first being the way it is written. Anyone with a basic education can understand what Robert talks about in his book, and everything talked about can be applied into my life very quickly.
This is the second book in the series of the “Rich Dad” books, but requires no prior reading to understand and learn. His first book was “Rich Dad Poor Dad“, his most popular and best selling book ever.
What becomes most apparent upon reading Robert’s book however, is where we stand financially.
It would be easy for me to say that I recommend this book simply because I was introduced to it as a teenager, but my a-fore mentioned bias to Robert’s books should not be a deterrent from you reading further.
The quality in each of his books speaks for themselves. I have listed testimonials below as well.
I have read this book several times over, but I learn something new every time I read it again. Learning how money flows is one thing, learning how money flows between the working classes is a totally unique perspective on the rat race!
The real benefit of this book (and every Rich Dad book to be honest) lies in its unique way of changing your view on money.
I can look at my bank account and think I am wealthy based off the amount of money I have, or the current job I have, or what investments are currently in my portfolio, but not until I look at how I make money and keep it, does the real “Aha!” moment happen.
Not only will this book change the way you view jobs, money, business and investments, but it will help you improve your life and help you achieve long-lasting financial freedom.
Being able to see the working classes compared, how they are taxed, how they work, where I am at, and seeing the benefits of each has become an essential part of how I plan my financial future. I know it will for you too!
Robert Kiyosaki is a renowned writer, educator, investor and speaker, introducing the world to his backstory and the lessons his “Rich Dad” taught him through Rich Dad Poor Dad and the Rich Dad book series.
The story of how Robert was first introduced to his Rich Dad is both enjoyable and engrossing to read, I personally love reading Robert’s conversations he would have with Rich Dad about money, jobs, business, real estate, investments, and stocks. I felt like I was sitting there listening to them talk.
He retired at age 47 but got bored and created the educational materials and tools that have helped millions around the world.
Most know him for his first book, but he also created board games like Cashflow 101/202 and Cashflow for Kids. He has written articles online about how the rich get richer. He’s also teamed up with several wealthy and successful people to write some phenomenal books and has held many seminars.
This book did something that Robert’s first book hadn’t. It opened my eyes to see more than one option to become financially successful and secure.
Understanding the “Cashflow Quadrants” made an enormous impact on the course of my life. Ever since reading this book I continued my journey to financial freedom with eyes wide open.
It gave me a deeper appreciation for a job, a part time business, consultant or specialist work. Also investments in general. I realized that I had been working in several of the quadrants without realizing it. To this day that makes me feel like a million bucks!
The reason I believe both Rich Dad Poor Dad and the Cashflow Quadrants are necessary is because both cover two necessary topics.
Robert’s first book will open your eyes to the rat race, escaping it, and build a base for you. This book will build on foundation by showing you how many ways there are to be financially free, by clarifying what you are already doing or what you want to do and will go over the pros and cons of each type of working type.
That might seem a bit basic, but if you have never read this book, I can guarantee you that the information that Robert covers will be life changing!
Many people found this book extremely helpful, and anyone who wrote anything negative were usually more experienced in terms of finances and financial education.
As with any book or course, the impact of Robert’s books will be directly proportionate to your current state in life.
Your previous education on these subjects is paramount in giving a fair review. It’s like test driving a mini van after driving a sports car.
The reason I believe that this book will help you is because I know that schools aren’t teaching this information.
You will not find a single teacher in school who will show you how to manage a credit card.
I strongly recommend you pick up this book for yourself or someone you know who could benefit from this information. I meet people who have no clue when it comes to managing money or getting free of a job.
Without Robert’s work, I wonder what the world would be like. Millions would be without information that has helped many succeed in the “Information Age”.
If you seek to improve yourself or help others, I highly recommend this one!
Let me know in the comments below what you thought of this review! Feel free to email me with any questions. As always, I will get back to you asap!
Hi there. Thanks for this review. I have never read any of the Rich Dad books so I am happy I found this article. The book sounds really interesting for sure and I am always looking for new material to read. Is Robert a motivational speaker? Would you recommend that I read his first book first? I thank u in advance for your reply.
Hi, Carl, you can totally start with this book, it is an incredible read.
If you are looking for books to start out with, however, check out my other article which has my Top 5 Financial books listed.
Thanks for the comment and let me know if you have any more questions!
Some one gave me a copy of rich dad poor Dad when I was 19 in the service. I still have the copy. Wow what an author, but I never knew he had more books! I guess he can explain things well if I can’t think, “oh wonder if this guy has more books”. I stumbled across this and now I need a copy!
Do you have more suggestions of any of his other books?
Hi, Malachi, I am actually working on a complete list of Robert Kiyosaki books right now! It should be done soon, and I will send you the link!
In the mean time, here are some of my other articles I have written containing my favorite books!
I have read other books of Robert and they are really good. He has a way of making you think differently about money. I am very interested in that diagram so I will purchase this one to dive deeper into it.
What interests me most is how we can look at our bank account and think we have “arrived”. But, in all actuality it comes down to how we make our money and what we are doing with it. Books like this really encourage me to be better about my finances. Thanks for sharing.
I can always appreciate a comment from a fellow Rich Dad student, glad you liked my review!
This a great review of the book. I read it for the first time as a teenager fresh out of high school and after reading your review I realized it is time to dust it off and read it again. There are many principles you mentioned that I took for granted before that I am treasure more at this point in my life. Thanks again.
Hey, Eddie, always awesome to hear about how books like this one have impacted people!
Now I am really interested in reading this book, I have been trying to find books that’s worth reading and I guess I found it. I will definitely look up this Author. Is there more books written by this author? I would definitely check them out as well. I really want to know in and outs of financial freedom and one day be financially free.
This book is exceptional, and I am currently creating a full list of Robert Kiyosaki books. In the mean time, here is a list of my favorite books that I highly recommend!

Honestly, I never knew what a fairy garden was Until my Mom had one. What is a fairy garden? A fairy garden appeals to the whimsical side in gardeners. These miniature little gardens are for people who believe that “wee little folks” live somewhere nearby and are just waiting for the right place in the yard to call home.
So nice to be here with you today at my daughter’s blog.
I was in my early 20’s.
My Mom always gardened, and did a beautiful job. I remember the neighbors were always asking her advice and tips.
I would love to watch her and learned very much from doing so.
I started getting tips and tricks along the way and each year my gardens really transpired into someplace magical that I love to spend my summer days in.
Welcome to my garden tour.
I give them the heads of the sunflowers when they are dying off.
Yellow finch’s just love them.
This looked liked a field of sunflowers in the beginning of summer.
Around 8 of them to be exact.
I created this special place with my angels and the bird bath in front of our town home.
This is an elephant hosta and purple cornflowers.
My black eyed susan’s were abundant this year and multiplied like crazy.
This area coming around the back of our town home has a cute little rustic bench that I found at a garden center years and years ago.
It has been painted lots of times, this last time is with Annie Sloan duck egg blue chalk paint.
that too was painted with Annie Sloan old White chalk paint.
Growing on the fence is porcelain ivy.
and then in the Fall it gets little red berries that the birds also LOVE!
Everything is for the birds here!
Now it is time for the fairy garden.
A little tea time. I collect all my little fairy garden people and furniture.
and I also use doll house furniture which you can find at any craft store.
All the little gravels are from Walmart and the Dollar store. It is a lot cheaper.
You can use little twigs too if you want to. You can create side walks and pathways for your fairies.
And of course all the knomes and Leprechauns too are watching over the fairies.
And this little guy here in the back came all the way from Ireland just to join them.
Thanks for taking the time to visit today.
It was a pleasure to be here and I look forward to the next time.
I really enjoy all your sweet comments over at Debbie’s facebook page.
I will see you there and be happy to answer any questions on gardening you may have.
If you are not a regular here at my daughter’s blog, I would love for you to stay. Of course, I think she is pretty special and you will too once you get to know her.
She shares all things heart, home, and a recipe or two on occasion.

Your mom has a sweet little garden. I think of the tooth fairy when I think of fairy gardens. Our tooth fairy is so super “flakey” – our family decided that she was so old that she must be resting in peace in a sweet fairy garden…like your mom’s.
Such a lovely garden ~ I loved seeing it and it is so nice to meet you!
Brilliant idea of how to use your sunflower heads as bird feed.
Oh, I just loved your garden, and pretty colors of the furniture, especially the purple wicker chair and the cute garden bench! Your angels and othr accessories are wonderful, and the fairy garden is so cute! I enjoyed your visit to Debbie’s blog!
I really enjoyed touring this lovely garden…love that blue bench and the fairy garden is just precious.
Linda, your garden is so pretty … especially love your front porch! My granddaughter and I recently made a fairy garden. I have so much fun “rearranging” and adding things to it every couple of nights so she knows the fairies have visited. Love seeing the awe and wonder in her eyes!
I love it! its a beautiful garden with so many details but yet so natural looking. The birds must enjoy it! Great inspiration for garden lovers!

What a beautiful garden!! And the little fairy section is so whimsical and fun. I love it!
Linda, I love it, what a gorgeous garden. I have to admit I was a little stumped when I saw fairy gardens? I get it, I think…So, have you had any fairies take up residency???
Very pretty gardens. Your flowers are lovely.
It’s magical! So glad you shared this, Debbie.
Thank you so much Linda and Debbie for sharing this beautiful fairy garden. The bird and breakfast and the gnome gardens are awesome too.
I wanted to find out more about the elephant hosta. What are the requirements for sun/shade, moist/damp, etc. I live in North Florida where the weather is a lot like coastal (Wilmington) NC. I love the way that you used it with the purple coneflowers.
Hi Bev! I live in N Central FL…we sure do love it here! Hugs!

Luke Williams, author of the New York Times bestseller, ‘The Wallet Allocation Rule’ argues that advocates of customer experience as a viable strategy for value creation must demonstrate its contribution to the bottom line. In this article for CustomerThink he outlines three essential strategies for delivering a financial return on customer experience investment.
When seeking to understand their customers, many organisations rely exclusively on quantitative data and internal, assumptive journey mapping. In this interview with CXFocus Alex Allwood argues that effective journey maps must include qualitative research and the mapping of customer journeys from the customer’s perspective.

Southern Connecticut Camerata (SCC) continues the remarkable and enduring tradition of the Westport Madrigal Singers, founded by Jeanne D. Kimball in 1955. The choral chamber singers were originally composed of a few women who met weekly with Mrs. Kimball to sing madrigals, canzonets, and other a cappella music. By the end of 1956, they had formed a sextet to share this music in public performances. The following year they added men to the ensemble and doubled in size. Performing in Elizabethan costumes made by the members, the fledgling group was awarded the Judges’ Prize for musical excellence at the 1957 Fairfield County Choral Festival in Norwalk, before an audience of 800.
By 1959, the Westport Madrigal Singers had grown to twenty members. Under Mrs. Kimball’s direction, for several years the group’s spring concert performances were for the benefit of the Westport Unitarian Church’s building fund. In the 1960s they served as strolling minstrels at the American Shakespeare Festival in Stratford, sang for the Shakespeare Institute at the University of Bridgeport, and performed for local school children. In the 1970s and 1980s they performed at Wave Hill and St. Stephen’s Church in New York City, Schroon Lake in the Adirondacks, Music Mountain in the Litchfield Hills, Friends of Music in Westport, Five Mile River Recital Series in Rowayton, as well as Connecticut Public Television. Since 1988, under various conductors, the group has performed at the Arcady Music Festival in Maine and the South Norwalk and Westport First Night Festivals. The group has also been featured on Paragon and Time Warner Cable television broadcasts.
Continuing its tradition of commitment to quality performance, the group changed its name to Southern Connecticut Camerata in 2009. Although specializing in early a cappella chamber choral music, SCC's repertiore spans the past four centuries, including compositions and arrangements from recent periods, some of which is performed with instrumental accompaniment. SCC performed for the first time with the Norwalk Symphony Orchestra in 2011.
In April 2017, SCC celebrated its 60th season with a concert of music inspired by Italian madrigals over six centuries.

After this had continued for a while the mother deer's misery started affecting Subuk. He halted his steed and released the fawn. as he moved away from the terrorized fawn, the doe bounded to her young one and lovingly licked it back into action.
Tribal hordes have since time immemorial left the poor, inhospitable steppes, arid rocky infertile terrain of the trans-Himalayan countries to pour into the rich, fertile, alluvial Indo-Gangetic plains. Some of these well known invaders include the Kushans, Huns, Sakas and Gujaras, who over the years settled down and meshed with the Indian society.
The stocky builds of many Indians betray a Central Asian origin, although both Hindus and Muslims of all castes claim either Aryan, Arab or Persian origins, as the case may be. And, blue eyes and blonde hair are rarely offered as proof. Except in some cases in the North, where a connection is claimed with Alexander. Sometimes I wonder whether the Tommies campaigning in the Punjab were all celibate monks!
The Kushans, who originated from the Yeuh-Chi tribe have left many coins, some of which carry the portraits of their emperors like Kadphises, Kanishka and Huvishka. These portraits depict them sporting a high head gear, ankle lenght cloak and sturdy boots. This apparel is quite different from the clothes depicted in the earlier artifacts of the Mauryas and the Sungas. In fact the people who resemble the Kushanas most closely, are the pre-Akbar Mughals like Barbar and Humayun. The historians have no difficulty in accepting these Central Asians as Indian. It is however a different story with invaders like the Turki-Ghaznavids.
If the fighters for the faith of Islam are known as 'Ghazis' the Sultan Mahmoud of Ghazi would probably be considered to be the foremost Ghazi. So here, it would be interesting to examine just how deep rooted is Islam in Mahmoud's family.
The founder of his dynasty, Amir Naseerudin Subuktagin, whose fame has long been overshadowed by his son Mahmoud; was captured in a raid by a tribesman of an inimical clan and subsequnetly sold as a slave. In those days, a slave owned neither his body nor his life. If he so wished the owner could mutilate or even kill his slave without violating any law.
If the owner happened to be a Christain then the slave assumed the faith propounded by Jesus and if the owner was Muslim, them the slave converted to Islam. Thus, it was not faith but fate that made Subuk a Muslim.
Subuk was a good looking boy with a quick mind and sturdy limbs. In fact, the word Subuk means fleet-footed, or swift. And it is likely that this name was given to him after he was purchased by Alaptagin, a commander in the army of Abdul Malik, the Smanid ruler of Bokhara. Abdul Malik had thrown off the Arab yoke and become independent of the Caliphate, which claimed to be the centre of the Muslim world and wielded authority over all Muslim rulers.
The Samanids were the local people and interestingly, the word Bukhara is similar to Bihar. The genesis of both words can be traced to Vihara, which means a seminary or shelter for the Buddhist monks.
But to get back to Subuk, he earned laurels for himself in several battles and soon became Subuktagin ie Subuk, the commander. And later, when he became the ruler of Ghazni, came to be known as Amir Naseerudin Subuktagin. The reason for his rapid rise is told in a story, in a chronicle which portrays the House of Ghazni as doughty warriors for the faith of Islam or Ghazis.
It is said that as a slave of Alaptagin, Subuk had little to call his own. The clothes he wore, the arms he carried and horse he rode, all belonged to his master. And during peace, Subuk had to go out each day to hunt for his own food.
Once, during a bitter, unrelenting winter in Khurasan, Subuk ventured on a hunt. Food was scarce and from early morning to late afternoon he rode all around and found no game. The short winter's day was already waning and Subuk was getting weary and dispondent. Suddenly, in a small clearing near a bush, he saw his quarry, a new born fawn. He trussed it up and rode off, looking forward to a scrumptious dinner.
But after a while Subuk's well honed hunter's instinct warned him of pursuit. He turned his head to find a doe following him. She was looking at him in distress. Her large, jet black eyes were misty with tears and she seemed to be beseeching him to release her young.
Subuk however was determined not to give in to these blandishments. He made a couple of feints in the direction of the doe to chase her off. But each time she would retreat just far enough to be out of harm's reach and then resume her pursuit.
After this had continued for a while, the mother deer's misery started affecting Subuk. He halted his steed and released the fawn. As he moved away from the terrorized fawn, the doe bounded up to her young one and lovingly licked it back into action. Then, together they started moving into the wilderness. But once in a while, till they disappeared out of sight, the doe would turn her head to gaze at Subuk with happiness and gratitude.
Subuk returned home to a spartan repast and hard bed. That night he had a dream that he had been transported to heaven by an angel, who took him straight to the Prophet Muhammad.
There, Subuk waited till the Prophet's glance fell on him, who then said "O kind hearted Subuk! Today you have shown great mercy, kindness and compassion to one of the most insignificant and mute creature of the Almighty. You have proved yourself worthy of trust and responsibility. You will be given a dominion and bestowed with kingship."

11/16/2003 – ChessBase.com visitors are participating in a game between grandmaster Saidali Yuldashev and the Uzbek TV audience. And the messages are pouring in. "Hi uncle Jam," worte a seven-year-old from India, "the only joy in my life is chess. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to play a real grandmaster!" Jamshid Begmatov reports.
Uzbek TV/ChessBase Audiences – Saidali Yuldashev: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Be7 6.Re1 b5 7.Bb3 0-0 8.c3 d5 9.exd5 Nxd5 10.Nxe5 Nxe5 11.Rxe5 c6 12.d4 Bd6 13.Re1 Qh4 14.g3 Qh3.
White has two main options here: 15.Be3 and 15.Re4. Let’s take a look at both variations, with some statistics. For Be3 my German friend Fritz 8 has 120 games of both players rated over 2500 Elo, with White achieving a 55% score and Elo performance 2592. Not a bad result, considering that many people think this line is very good for Black. Among most often players of the variation on the white side are Andrei Sokolov, Vishy Anand and Nigel Short.
Jamshid: Hello Mr. Short, could you spare me a few seconds please? I was writing an article for chessbase.com, and would appreciate your little contribution.
Nigel Short: I play blitz (3 to 5 min with 1 or 2 seconds increment) for 50 ducats.
Jamshid: I assure you it will not take a long, just a couple of questions, please.
Jamshid: I promise to cut it as short as possible.
Jamshid (after a few minutes): Can I still hope for a little interview, Mr. Short?
I think the grandmaster was so carried away with his games that he never even looked at the chat window. I would only receive automatic messages from the server, unfortunately.
Nigel Short in auto-respond mode?
Coming to our next option, 15.Re4, it’s noticeable that White’s score in this line is much better than in Be3, it’s 66% with a fantastic Elo 2754 performance! So you decide now, and please submit your moves and comments here.
Arun, India: Hi uncle Jam! I am a seven-year-old boy from India. I am writing this message. My left hand and leg are completely paralyzed. Because I cannot walk, I have almost no friends to talk to and play with. The only joy in my life is chess, and thank you for giving me this opportunity to play a real grandmaster! I also like your pictures and stories about your country. I will look forward to seeing the next move and your interesting stories and pictures of Uzbekistan. Thank you!
No Arun, this time you and all ChessBase readers will see pictures from India, one of the most exotic and beautiful places in the world! I wish you get well and become a great player like Vishy Anand and Krishnan Sasikiran!

-with dependencies....its 131mb, ,the girl(or young boy...) samples take most of it.
It do not support jack,for now.
Will play a little with that and reply results.
Played a little with it and had a look into it.
The symbolic link in /usr/bin points to /mnt/sda5/... (or similiar).
After loading the .sfs the jwm menu wasn't available anymore. Needed to do a fixmenus and a jwm -restart in terminal, to get the jwm menu back.
Had this issue twice. One time with the original .sfs, another one with my edited version (fixed the symbolic link and edited the .desktop file).
Created some events in SynthesizerV and rendered to a file. Loaded the file into audacity. Added some reverb plus some echo. Duplicated the mono track and moved the duplicate track, so it starts a few milliseconds later. Made a stereo track from that. Duplicated the stereo track and transposed it 12 half tones down, to have a more male sounding voice.
Rendered the Audacity project into a stereo track.
Depending on the work to do, it's a nice result so far.
Could become a very interesting project in the future, if there will be an increasing number of voices and languages available.
There's one feature I liked much. One can draw by mouse to transpose the voice in freehand mode. Pretty cool.
fixed the link in sfs..
hey bruder,you are fast on testing,quick as a nervous drummer,a good ping pong player you must be ...working from home?
IT business? security? network management?
as i wrote i am curious.


text: The ENT doctor will carefully examine your neck to determine if the lump is a lymph node, thyroid nodule or some other lump. He will usually insert an endoscope through the nose to look for a growth if it is a lymph node. With the endoscope, he can also check for the movement of the vocal cords which may be affected with thyroid cancer. He may do blood tests to check the thyroid function, ultrasound scan and do a fine needle biopsy to exclude cancer. If in doubt, he will recommend surgery (removing half the gland) with frozen section while the patient is asleep (under anaesthesia) to exclude cancer. He will usually proceed to removing the entire gland if it is proved to be cancerous. Sometimes a neck dissection is carried out to remove lymph nodes.

Monthly field experiences are unit focused and narrow in scope to help the student make the connection of the unit study with real life. The following is a brief list of our field trip destinations: The Frick Art Museum, The Carnegie Science Center (various exhibits and group presentations are selected to match particular monthly units of study), Giant Eagle, Central Blood Bank, Linsly Outdoor Center, Heinz History Center.
Parents, and other community role models, play a key part in the educational experience at Jubilee Christian School. Parents are encouraged to work with our teachers to determine ways they may share their valuable life experiences and areas of expertise inside the classroom. In recent months, Jubilee moms and dads — who are also medical professionals, police officers, foreign language/culture experts, etc. — have been invited into the classroom to share their knowledge and real-life experience with students. We also make use of the expertise of community professionals outside the Jubilee school family for classroom instruction, activities, and assemblies. We participate in assemblies given by The Carnegie Museum, Carnegie Science Center and other outside programs.
During the month of March, our entire school engages in an in-depth study of another country. The children learn about the country’s culture, economy, geography, history, art, and music in creative and fun ways, in addition to the traditional classroom teaching methods. Each year, March 1st is “Opening Day” when the school’s fellowship hall is elaborately decorated with paintings, drawings and cutouts depicting scenes of the particular country’s history and culture. As the month progresses, we offer unique field experiences such as language instruction, dance instruction, and presentations by guest speakers. At the end of the month, a “Closing Celebration” gives students the opportunity to share some of what they’ve learned with their family members through song, dance and art projects.
Because scripture memorization and knowledge is essential in preparing students for their role in the Kingdom of God, each month Jubilee students are required to memorize two scripture verses. In addition to the two required verses, there are several optional verses provided each month that students are encouraged to memorize for personal enrichment. These verses are age-appropriate, and often focus on the monthly unit theme. Students who memorize 26 or more verses in the course of the school year receive special recognition at the end of the school year. At Christmas and Easter, students are encouraged to memorize more lengthy passages relating to these most blessed events in the life of our Lord. The verses (a total of 104) are rotated on an every-other-year basis, so that when students are ready to move on from Jubilee they have committed to memory a strong foundation of key Biblical truth.
Weekly devotions are taught using Biblical accounts, music, memory verses, and drama to further enhance the Biblical principles taught in the classroom and at home. Chapel is lead by our principal, a local pastor, or one of our classes.

Susan Hatler proves yet again with this book just why I love her! Her books always give me butterflies and swoony feelings with flirty banter and fun characters. And Dallas? Um, hello. Morgan and I may have a crush on him together. He's just full of strong manly traits that are so attractive!
It's always satisfying to see a character find the strength to follow their dreams and Morgan definitely does that in this book. She has tried to fit the mold her mother has for her but it's never been what she wants. When Morgan finally finds the courage to step into her own path and find her own happiness, my heart did a little song of joy. She owned her decisions and I felt that strength.
I love the added depth of emotion and connection a shared tragedy brings to Morgan and Dallas's relationship. Their history has many good moments and couple not so good. It gives the story a good balance with all the reconnecting chemistry that is flying around.
This book is part of a series but can stand all on it's own. I've been reading the series and I am absolutely loving it. Each book is by a different author but the books intertwine with location and a common character of Miss Anna Cate. This is the perfect series to get into with the holiday season fast approaching!
Support Your Local Sheriff by Melinda Curtis + Book Giveaway!
I'm just going to start out by admitting that I just may be half in love with Sheriff Nate Landry. He is seriously swoony but not for his good looks (which he has!) or his suave (which he doesn't have much of!). His attraction, for me, is his quiet strength, his patience, kindness and his good manners. Is that weird? He is a true gentleman and I just adore him.
Then you add in a super cute two year old and that man gets even MORE attractive. Yup. It's true. That two year old Drake made my mommy instincts hum. I want him.
This is a slow building romance. The sparks don't really jump off the page but the story has a gentle pull that kept me engaged and interested. There are all kinds of meddling, crazy and quirky characters thrown into this book. Combine that with the small town antics and you will be shaking your head and rolling your eyes, just like me. It was a lot of fun.
- I received a copy of this book in conjunction with this tour. All opinions expressed are my own.
While Piper tries her best to steer clear of Jace during his stay, she can't help but notice he's not the man from their first meeting. But is he worth risking her promotion? Or is Jace right, Piper deserves more than she ever thought possible for herself?
Happy, happy, happy, happy, happy. That's what I am when I get to read a new Jennifer Peel book. Seriously. SO happy. Her books take me to that happy place in reading for me- that place of butterflies, attraction, emotion and the best kind of happily ever after endings. I love a good love story!
Oh man. Piper and Jace have a horrible first meeting. Jace is such a louse. He's drunk, ornery and acting like a completely entitled rich boy. Nobody likes that. But, I have to say that after that first encounter, Jace slowly redeems himself. And when Jace is determined about something, he just doesn't give in!
I loved the interactions and banter between Piper and Jace. They left me feeling all those butterflies in my tummy. Jace is one determined guy and ever so charming. He wants Piper and lets her know that in every way possible. Yummy stuff, that.
This whole book has a sort of magical feel to it. The magic of love combined with the magic of Christmas in a setting right out of a fairytale. I loved it. Which is no surprise since I haven't met a Jennifer Peel book that I didn't love. I wish I had time to go back and read this book again right now. Talking about it makes me want to delve right back in. ha!
This book is part of the Return to Christmas Falls series, all released today. I really cannot wait to read them all because they have some cross over characters and all the characters from these books have a common thread in that they have returned to Christmas Falls where they were once all friends, bound together by a very special teacher. I have read Becky Monson's book (yay!!) and I'll be reviewing that one later this week. I also have Susan Hatler's book in the line up to be read this week. Man, it's going to be a good reading week!
How cute is this cover? I just love it! And I love author Kimberly Krey. She is so good at writing characters I end up caring about and sparky scenes with witty banter.
Trent and Jessie meet in a less than ideal way. They start out on the wrong foot- completely misjudging each other. It happens though. We make judgments based on what limited knowledge we have and once we get more of the story, we usually understand each other better. It's the same with Trent and Jessie. That spark of attraction was there from the beginning and it grows as they get to know more about each other. The misunderstanding and early judgments fall away as a friendship and respect take root.
I loved the arc of this story- how it led me so easily from one emotion to the next. This book was so easy to fall into with a great cast of characters and a strong feeling of community. I really enjoyed it!
This novella is ever so sweet. Honestly, sweet is the best word I have to describe it.
I read a book not long ago, also a historical fiction, that included bits about the orphan train as well. Before that, I had no idea those were even a real thing. Can you imagine the kids on those trains? How they must have felt? Scared, alone. My heart breaks just thinking about it. In this book, Addelaide accompanies these children on the train to help facilitate their adoptions. That is a job I would never be able to do. Addelaide is so kind and gentle. I loved her instantly.
Miles is convinced that he will never be able to love again. There is no room in his home or his heart for loving and losing love again. Miles gets tricked into a marriage situation, but he agrees because Miles is just that kind of stand up guy. Even hurt he does the right thing. Thank goodness for that!
This is a novella but I really never felt like it was rushed. The characters were well developed and full of life. I connected with them and loved them. That is sometimes hard to do in a novella length story. I'm not surprised though. Michele Holmes is one of my favorites and she knows how to weave a fantastic tale.
I am a Cindy Roland Anderson book lovin' fan. Is that a thing? If not, it is now. And I speak being the president. Cindy Anderson has a way of writing that just sits so perfectly with me. From her down to earth characters to her fun covers, her books are a treat from the minute I set eyes on them.
This book had me pulling my hair out in desperation for that first kissy connection between Ashlee and Beau. Ugh! The tension was killing me! Beau is all sorts of hung up on how old Ashlee is and how she is the little sister of his best friend. That man! He drove Ashlee and me crazy. Honestly. The attraction was zinging around all over the place. It was so fun.
I read through this book so quickly. I didn't want to put it down and I loved the ending. <sigh> So good. Yum! Just writing this makes me want to go back and read it again right now. Yeah, that means it's good stuff!
- I received a copy of this book from the author for free. All opinions expressed are my own.

When I last checked in I mentioned a new book in the works, one focusing on poker and popular culture that will be bringing together a lot of the poker-related writing I’ve done over the last decade-plus both here on the blog and via other outlets.
As I’ve mentioned, the book will be called Poker & Pop Culture: Telling the Story of America’s Favorite Card Game. While it discusses the history of the game it will primarily focus on cultural representations of poker -- i.e., “mainstream” depictions of the game that also tell the story of poker’s significance and attitudes toward the game.
As I continue to work on the book I’ve come to realize every time I think about posting something here on the blog, I’m better served not doing so and instead saving it “for the book.” Truth be told, it isn’t true that everything I might write about here belongs in the book, but I’m still at an early enough stage where I’m more inclined to include more than exclude when it comes to envisioning Poker & Pop Culture.
It’s great fun, let me tell you, thinking about what I want to include and still sitting here at a point where most of the different possible versions of the book still happily co-exist in my jingle-brain.
That said, I know that way of thinking about the book isn’t going to last much longer, as the book will, in the end, be of reasonable length. I remember interviewing James McManus back in 2009 shortly after he’d published Cowboys Full and him telling me how his original draft had been around 1,000 pages. I’m quickly realizing how if I included everything I could end up with something similarly unwieldy, and so am already in the process of trimming back as I expand.
I guess I’m also saving “for the book” my finite supply of energy for writing about poker, which I’m also continuing to do elsewhere as part of my regular workload. I additionally keep teaching my poker-related American Studies courses every semester at UNC-Charlotte, which also takes away from the time I might have spent on here scribbling over here.
I’ll keep checking in here, though, when I can, and promise once the manuscript has been submitted to do so more often, particularly as we get nearer to publication.

Over the past week, there have been continuous incidents of Turkish trawlers found fishing in Greek waters, not only beyond their territorial boundaries but also deep in the Aegean Sea, approaching up to 100 meters from the Greek islands. This illegal fishing activity has been occurring not only during the night but also continues throughout the day and close to touristic areas such as Patmos and Arki islands, as recorded by the research boat of Archipelagos Institute!
Even more provocative than the attitude of the Turkish fishing vessels is the indifference and inefficiency of the Greek authorities. Despite repeated reports received over this week from citizens, fishermen, tourist boats and the Archipelagos Institute, the authorities have failed to deter Turkish trawlers from Greek territorial waters.
It is also important to note that in some cases where this illegal activity is reported by Greek fishermen, port authorities make these Greek fishermen the target of inspection rather than making use of the information provided and responding to the violations by the Turkish fishing boats.
The illegal Turkish trawlers remain in Greek waters for multiple days and only return to Turkey to unload their catch. All of this occurs in a region where Greek trawlers are forbidden to fish during this season and artisanal Greek fishermen can hardly make a living due to the overexploitation of the local fish stocks.
When Archipelagos’ research boat approached these illegal trawlers, we received verbal threats, as well as the feeling that as the years go by these pirate fishermen are taking advantage of the lack of enforcement and take for granted fishing in Greek waters without consequences. The fact that the national authorities are incapable of addressing these incidents even during the busy summer months creates a dangerous precedent. What should we expect during the harsh sea conditions of the Aegean in winter, which is forgotten when the last tourists depart?
To address this problem, it is fundamental that our national policy is clearly defined. This is not one isolated incident, but an issue that is regularly observed throughout the eastern Aegean over the past years. It is not only a violation of the Greek territory, but also a clear theft of our marine resources and destruction of our fishing grounds. The tolerance of this situation could lead to far greater consequences in the future.
For years Archipelagos Institute has been making a great effort to work towards the solution of this complex environmental-political problem, which is causing depletion of our already overexploited fish stocks and the destruction of productive marine ecosystems.

Innofil3D is a high quality filament manufacturer also based in Netherlands. 750 gr. spools with 2.85mm diameter. Works wonderfully on the Ultimaker series of printers.
PET is commonly known as the water bottle plastic. It has a translucent look, is easier to print than ABS and is more flexible and more impact resistant than PLA. Good for intermediate level users. InnoPET is Innofil's signature PET formula.
InnoPET has excellent layer bonding properties, while some materials may be much weaker along the layer lines and split if force is applied along the grain, PET offers a much stronger bond between layers offering higher tensile strength than both PLA and ABS. PET is very rigid and will resist bending, it will break rather than bend and deform like soft plastics. InnoPET does not give off pungent fumes like ABS does.
InnoPET is the best PET we have tested to date and it naturally has some inherent transparency in it's colour which hides slight imperfections. Surface quality is equivalent to OEM filaments if not better. Best of all, InnoPET is 100% compatible with Ultimakers in filament diameter and spool size. It even uses standard PLA profiles, so no additional configuration is required for reliable operation.
InnoPET prints very well with normal PLA settings. No modification to settings are required.

Muhammad Ali dies at Age 74 due to Respiratory complications: “The Greatest” Muhammad Ali, the silver-tongued boxer and civil rights champion pass away today at Phoenix-area hospital. Ali was under treatment for last few day for Respiratory complications.
Muhammad Ali was undergoing treatment for Parkinson disease at Phoenix-area hospital from past few days where today morning he took his last breath and Muhammad Ali dies at 74.
“After a 32-year battle with Parkinson’s disease, Muhammad Ali has passed away at the age of 74. The three-time World Heavyweight Champion boxer died this evening,” Bob Gunnell, a family spokesman.
Ali had suffered for about 30 years from Parkinson’s Disease which is a progressive neurological condition that slowly affected his legendary verbal grace and his physical dexterity. The funeral service is planned and will take place in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky.
Even with his health issue, The Legend Muhammad Ali did not take away from politics or controversy and released a statement in December criticizing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s proposal to stop and ban Muslims from entering the United States of America. “We as Muslims have to stand up to those who use Islam to advance their own personal agenda,” he said.
Muhammad Ali was born and brought up in Cassius Marcellus Clay. Ali got his fame by winning world light-heavyweight gold at the 1960 Rome Olympics.
Muhammad Ali has been nicknamed “The Greatest”, Ali beat Sonny Liston in 1964 to win his first world title and became the first boxer to win world heavyweight title on three separate occasions.
Ali retired in 1981, after winning 56 of his 61 fights.
Won Olympic light-heavyweight gold in 1960.
Turned professional in 1960 year and become world heavyweight champion from 1964 to 1967, 1974 to 1978 and 1978 to 1979.
Ali had 61 professional bouts, winning 56 (37 knockouts, 19 decisions), and losing five (4 decisions, 1 retirement) with his name.
The death of Muhammad Ali is a great loss to the boxing fans and to the complete world. May the soul rest in Peace.

The domestic stock market’s behaviour during the week seems to indicate the beginning of its first leg of a new bull market. Massive buying emerged in smallcap and midcap stocks, which spilled over to largecaps, which indicated that green shoots of a new bull market are slowly getting visible, considering that the upward movement was very sharp and quick.
Nonetheless, swift profit booking and corrections are bound to occur going ahead. Moreover, global economic scenario doesn’t look very encouraging as ECB has just changed its stance from hawkish to dovish. This means the European economy is likely to show suboptimal growth, which doesn’t augur well for the global economy.
There seems to be no end to the Sino-US trade war. Although the details are still under the wraps, Huawei’s intent of taking on the US government head on is a hidden signal that relations between the two superpowers are not amicable. This does not spell good for global equity markets and Dalal street will also be in no hurry to move ahead. It would drag and correct till the election outcome.
This being an election year, the middle and lower strata of society were the receivers of bountiful benefits from the government, which may look pleasing at first instance but the axe is likely to fall on the full-fledged budget of the new government.
Direct tax collections for FY19 were estimated at Rs 12 lakh crore but in the first nine months, the collection is just Rs 8 lakh crore. Some estimates show the shortfall is likely to be of Rs 1 lakh crore by the close of the year.
Such deficit is unseen in the recent past. Larger repercussions lay ahead for the economy in terms of government borrowing, the interest rate cycle and the government’s ability to spend on infrastructure, which will adversely affect the equity market in the second half.
Nifty50 is facing resistance at the upper channel of the trendline. The undercurrent of the market is still sideways, which can be seen from the flattish slope of the trend lines. Since the market is facing resistance at the upper end of the trend channel, a correction is expected to 10,900 levels on Nifty50. The formation of small bodies in price action charts also indicated exhaustion, but a spike above the resistance levels and then a fall will confirm that the upward move has ended for the time being and the market can go back to 10,900 level, and in the worst case scenario, up to 10,600. Traders can initiate shorts on every weakness.
Mr. Market is mesmerized in the hope that the ruling Government has increased its chances of forming a strong Government and expectations of a coalition Government are receding, but in politics anything is possible before the actual outcome. Just like Bloomberg’s fear and greed indicator for the stock market, politics is guided by sentiment of expectation of a stronger Government or coalition Government which will oscillate the markets accordingly. However, reasons can emerge which may again shift the opinion of the market towards formation of a weaker Government coming to power; the markets will drift lower in that scenario. Therefore, investors are advised to stay on the sidelines and keep ready a war chest of money to be invested in good quality small and midcap shares after a correction. Also, allocation to frontline stocks should be made at or around the election month for building a portfolio at reasonable valuations. Nifty 50 closed the week at 11035, up by 1.58%.

Article in the NY Times about research into how (motion picture) stories have been told, are being told and will be told in the future.
In league with a handful of former Hollywood executives, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Laboratory plans to do something about that on Tuesday, with the creation of a new Center for Future Storytelling.
The center is envisioned as a “labette,” a little laboratory, that will examine whether the old way of telling stories — particularly those delivered to the millions on screen, with a beginning, a middle and an end — is in serious trouble.
Press release from MIT includes the philosophy of the project: "Storytelling is at the very root of what makes us uniquely human," said Frank Moss, Media Lab director and holder of the Jerome Wiesner Professorship of Media Arts and Sciences. "It is how we share our experiences, learn from our past, and imagine our future. But how we tell our stories depends on another uniquely human characteristic -- our ability to invent and harness technology. From the printing press to the Internet, technology has given people new ways to tell their stories, allowing them to reach new levels of creativity and personal fulfillment. The shared vision of the MIT Media Lab and Plymouth Rock Studios allows us to take the next quantum leap in storytelling, empowering ordinary people to connect in extraordinary ways."

Turning from the smiling barista she just tipped with fifty cents tossed into the plastic cube–none of that Hillary “Tipgate” shadowing her, by gosh–Congresswoman Kang’s cell chimed. She placed her chai latte on the edge of a table, causing a K Street-type in suspenders to frown at this as he sat on the other side of that table seriously perusing the Wall Street Journal.
She ignored his presumptive displeasure and answered her phone. It was good to make self-important Beltway insiders discomforted–on matters big and small.
“I know you haven’t seen the news because I’m calling you and it’s not the other way around,” Chet Kimbrough said over the line.
Very aware of standing in a public space, Kang moved toward the door. The indignant stare of the K Streeter upon her back. Maybe he was worried the ignored coffee cup had a listening device in it and would tape him while he too received a cell phone call from this or that worried public servant client. She exited.
“It was bound to.” As she walked along Independence, she noted a few looks her way. A certain degree of percolating paranoia was basic to survival in DC, Grish Waller had more than once reminded her.
“Yeah. Let’s meet at McGoohan’s first.” This was a restaurant that Kimbrough had a financial interest in, located near the Adams Morgan area of town.
Kang disliked playing politics in the political arena. She preferred to take a problem straight on, but also knew that being strategic was necessary. She hailed a cab and rode to the closed eatery. Kimbrough let her in through a side entrance and they went into the manager’s office, which had no windows.
“Who found the body?” Kang asked as they sat.
When Kang first ran for her seat in Southern California, the right-wing echo chamber machinery had a fiesta. The opening salvo they lobbed was a rumor she’d been the much older Grish Waller’s lover. Then a certain blowhard popular on cable and radio questioned Kang’s citizenship. Kimbrough handled the matter adroitly by advising her not to immediately answer these lies. He even planted more incendiary items, feeding these tidbits through back channels. Then when this clown’s xenophobic, racism-tinged diatribes reached their apex, CK went on MSNBC to trot out pictures taken when she was a Girl Scout on an outing to Disneyland, along with her high school yearbook photos.
It wasn’t quite accurate, she reflected, that she didn’t enjoy playing politics. She just didn’t want to do it now when it involved her old friend.
“No, but like Foster’s death there’s all sorts of stories being… entertained,” he said.
“Yes,” he confirmed. “Fortunately you have an alibi.” He didn’t smile when he said that.
Fallenbee was a far-flung consortium that had divisions handling military contracts and others the discount department store chain Dollarville.
Kang folded her arms, tapping her foot. Then, impatient, she blurted, “Let’s see what’s on the news.” She used the remote and thumbed on the small television set on a side table in the office. Each cable news outlet was cycling through Grish Waller’s apparent suicide. Kang, and several other politicians he was linked with, along with the investigation, were mentioned.
“No see, no foul,” Kimbrough said with a slight smile.
“The mantra of this town,” Kang said, rising.
She chuckled at something Cortez said and added, “Yeah, girl, you know I got an image to protect. I’ve been out this am doing the people’s business. Okay… see you in a few.” Kang bleeped off her phone.
Kang perused his notes, picking out pertinent memory cues as she also reviewed Grish Waller’s public life in her mind. Careful to mentally file away certain private matters she knew and wondered if Kimbrough also knew. If he did, she reminded herself, he could be more Buddha-like in keeping secrets than any Zen master she’d encountered.
As the cab got within two blocks of the Rayburn Building, Kang told the driver to let them out at the curb.
“You want me to fade back?” Kimbrough asked as they walked toward the gathered print and electronic media. Two trucks with their satellite dishes extended on their roofs were parked in front along with several camera operators setting up tripods or setting their focus. The press had seemingly not noticed them yet.
“Hmmm.” He liked being in the background.
She tapped the middle of his back. “Cowboy up,” she joked. They strode forward.
At his compound on Kauai, billionaire Mace Gilmore munched on cashews while he watched the Kang press conference. A warm rain softly struck the windows as he paid close attention. Afterward he made a call to Los Angeles on a phone system designed by a former contractor with the NSA. The signal of this call was such that while it could be monitored for specific key words as any other civilian’s call can be surveilled, the origin of the call was masked via a series of bounced signals.

Logic programming, in the sense of proof search in sequent calculus, has been used to describe the operational semantics of concurrent computational systems in at least two distinct fashions.
In the process-as-term approach, process combinators and relations between them (one-step, bisimulation, etc), are encoded as non-logical primitives, whose axiomatization is provided by structured operational semantics (SOS). Here, classical and intuitionistic logics are generally used in such axiomatizations. Recent challenges in this setting have been capturing both may and must properties of processes, uncovering declarative approaches to link mobility, and exploiting evident connections to model checking and game semantics.
In the process-as-formula approach, process combinators are encoded directly as logical connective and the operational semantics of processes is provided directly by an underlying logic, such as linear logic. Such encodings have been most successfully employed to date with asynchronous process calculi. Recent challenges here have been finding ways to exploit the meta-theory of linear logic to provide results about processes and declarative approaches to sequentiality and security protocols. This workshop will focus on examining various connections between concurrent computation and the proof search paradigm, whether or not that connection falls neatly into the above mentioned approaches.
Note: The two talks by Dale Miller are independent.
Abstract: Following the process-as-formula approach, we'll present in this talk the strong relations between the dynamics of asynchronous pi-calculus and linear logic proof search, and see how this kind of result can be extended to other well-known concurrency calculi like Join-calculus and even synchronous pi-calculus. We then try to outline possible applications of such relations.
Abstract: We consider a polarized version of proofnets we call binary modules. This slight modification does not change anything to the logical theory underlining proofnets. However, we will show that the proof search process becomes natural in this respect. Binary modules are combination of elementary ones, each representing some clause of the program. We first consider computation on elementary modules able to represent the progression principle as well as its dual part as a resource-conscious Prolog style ALPL. We prove that this fragment does not need any correctness criteria except unification for applying the computation principle. In a second section, we mix the previous situation and its dual one. This allows us to model disjunctiv e linear programs. Once again, no correctness criteria are necessary. We then extend it to the full multiplicative linear logic without exponentials, hence including necessarily correctness criteria to deal with parallelism. Finally, we present an extension where exponentials are partially allowed.
Abstract: In recent work we have showed that the asynchronous pi-calculus can be encoded in a variant of intuitionistic first-order linear logic using a process-as-formula approach, where processes are encoded directly as formulas of the logic, and the dynamic semantics of the pi-calculus are simulated through a combination of backward proof-search and forward chaining. We showed that focussing during backward proof-search plays a critical role in this encoding because it makes simulation of message reception atomic in the logic. We build upon this work, and show how focussing can be used to simulate other synchronization behavior in the asynchronous pi-calculus, including a specific form of external choice and simultaneous n-way message reception. This allows us to translate a very expressive extension of the asynchronous pi-calculus into linear logic. We expect that this extension is as expressive as the synchronous pi-calculus with external choice. We describe correctness results for the encoding, and use the encoding to demonstrate a direct correspondence between process-calculi combinators and the connectives of intuitionistic linear logic.
Abstract: Proof theory can be applied to the problem of specifying and reasoning about the operational semantics of process calculi. We overview some recent research in which lambda-tree syntax is used to encode expressions containing bindings and sequent calculus is used to reason about operational semantics. There are various benefits of this proof theoretic approach for the pi-calculus: the treatment of bindings can be captured with no side conditions; bisimulation has a simple and natural specifications in which the difference between bound input and bound output is given by changing a quantifier; various modal logics for mobility can be specified declaratively; and simple logic programming-like deduction involving subsets of second-order unification provides immediate implementations of symbolic bisimulation. These benefits should extend to other process calculi as well. As partial evidence of this, a simple lambda-tree syntax extension to the tyft/tyxt rule format for name-binding and name-passing has been made that allows one to conclude that (open) bisimilarity is a congruence.

Abstract: We describe an ongoing project in which we attempt to describe a neutral approach to proof and refutation. In particular, we present a language of neutral expressions which contains one element for each de Morgan pair of connectives in (linear) logic. Our goal is then to describe, in a neutral fashion, what it means to prove or refute. For this, we use games where moves are described as transitions between positions built with neutral expressions. We can then relate winning a game with provability. More precisely we relate winning strategies for an expression N with proofs for a linear logic formula obtained from N: to winning exists-forall-strategies for N we associate proofs of the positive (synchronous) translation of N into logic. On the other hand, to winning forall-exists-strategies for N we associate proofs of the negative (asynchronous) translation of N into logic.
This work is joint with Alexis Saurin. This abstract is based on a paper presented at Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics (MFPS) 2005.
Abstract: In recent work we have proposed a logic programming language integrating Prolog-style backward chaining and committed choice forwarded chaining. Its formal foundation is CLF, a linear dependent type theory with a monad for concurrency. Its definitional equality is intended to identify concurrent computations that differ only in the order of independent events, thereby modeling true concurrency.
We have observed a class of examples, including Petri nets, some planning domains, and shared memory imperative computation, where the framework's definitional equality is too weak to capture all desired equivalences. For example, a straightforward representation of shared memory distinguishes different orders of concurrent read operations, in effect imposing a spurious causal dependency.
We discuss how this problem might be addressed to obtain more satisfactory representations. Techniques include the explicit definition of an equivalence as part of the representation, and exploiting an extension of CLF with proof irrelevance currently under development.
Joint work with Ruy Ley-Wild.
Abstract: It has been observed recently, that the sequent calculus cannot capture a simple self-dual noncommutative connective. In this talk I present a logic which conservatively extends multiplicative exponential linear logic (plus mix) by this new connective. Although this logic cannot be presented in the sequent calculus, it has a natural presentation in the calculus of structures. Interestingly, we can observe a new property, called "decomposition", that exhibits certain, hitherto unknown properties of the exponentials of linear logic. Decomposition also allows to take a new approach towards cut elimination.

On newer Cub Cadet trimmers, the starter pulley connects directly to the clutch.
4 What Stops a Pull Cord for a Gas Weeder?
Cub cadet manufactures a line of split boom string trimmers; the lower part of the drive shaft separates so that you can quickly turn the tool into a brush cutter or edger. When Cub Cadet added this multifunctionality to its trimmers, it began locating the start cord between the drive shaft and the engine flywheel. When you have to replace the cord, you need to remove the drive shaft, which isn't a difficult task. Earlier 4-cycle Cub Cadet models feature a starter assembly that is attached to the side of the engine housing opposite the muffler.
Disable the trimmer by pulling off the spark plug wire. Set it down on a level surface. If it's a split boom trimmer, disengage the lower part of the drive shaft by loosening the fastening nut and pulling it off. This makes the rest of the procedure easier.
Unscrew the four screws holding the drive shaft to the engine with a screwdriver and pull the drive shaft away. Turn the drive shaft around to access the starter mechanism -- it is just inside the drive shaft. If you have an older 4-cycle model, unscrew the starter assembly from the side of the engine. You don't need to remove the drive shaft.
Pull out the old cord, using needle-nose pliers, if necessary, to unhook the knot from inside the pulley. Clean out the inside of the starter assembly with a rag.
Prepare a new length of starter cord with the same diameter as the old one by melting the end with a lighter and rolling the tip in your fingers while it's still warm. This makes it easier to thread through the holes on the starter assembly.
Wind the starter pulley two full revolutions clockwise, and line up the holes on the housing cover and the pulley hub. Feed the cord through both holes and tie a knot in the end. Slide the starter grip onto the other end of the rope and tie a knot in that end to hold it.
Hold the rope vertically against the pulley, and use the rope to wind the pulley through five or six more clockwise revolutions. Keeping tension on the rope, allow the pulley to slowly unwind, wrapping the rope around itself, until the starter grip is held against the starter housing by the tension in the spring.
Replace the starter back onto the trimmer and reassemble the drive shaft, if you took it apart. Reconnect the spark plug wire before you use the trimmer.
If the grip doesn't come all the way back to the starter housing cover, the rope is too long. Slide the grip along the rope to reduce its length, make a new knot, then wind the rope on the pulley again.

Flexografix was referred to a progressively-managed printer by one of their press operators. After building a business on producing technically complex structures and defect-free products, the printer had a significant new business opportunity printing process work for a color-critical brand owner. The printer was convinced by our competitor that years of inaccurate print-to-proof matching resulted from their lack of experience in printing halftone work.
Flexografix was given the opportunity to fingerprint and profile one of their presses. Then, we re-engineered the separations to remove one of the colors - increasing the project’s profitability. The very first set of plates resulted in an accurate match to the proof - without any process changes. Based on these results, the printer awarded Flexografix with the entire project and both companies continue to enjoy substantial new business gains together. "In the context of what we do, it's clear; we pay for quality pre-press and plates and, as a result, we receive a better printing plate. It pays to buy the best!"

Road trip, anyone? Nothing spoils a great vacation for us Bayville motorists then ending up stranded on the side of the road or spending a week in a rundown motel while our vehicle sits in the shop. Long days on the road can bring out the worst in your vehicle, so before you leave, prepare it for the journey by getting an automotive analysis at Bayville Auto Care in Bayville. After all, you wouldn’t travel without clean socks, why ask your vehicle to travel with a load of dangerous dirty oil?
The first step in a trip inspection at Bayville Auto Care is to look at your travel plans. What kinds of roads will you be driving on? Will you be in the New Jersey backcountry or on the freeway? Will you be crossing mountains? Off-roading? What will the weather be like? How many miles away from Bayville will you be traveling? How much are you hauling? Will you be towing a trailer or lugging a rooftop carrier? Will you encounter dust, mud, snow or sea salt? All of these questions can help Bayville auto owners know which Bayville Auto Care services are the most needed. And don’t hesitate to communicate with your Bayville Auto Care service advisor. He can give you good auto advice on what trip conditions are hardest on what systems of your car and what kinds of services your vehicle realistically needs. Start with the tires and inspect them for tread wear and proper inflation. Replace or rotate them as needed. If you need to change them out for winter tires, then do so.
Then check your shocks or struts for wear. Replace them if needed. You’ll want that extra comfort on your trip. Be sure to review your alignment. Steering a vehicle that is out of alignment is tiring, and dangerous. Don’t overlook your brakes. With extra passengers and baggage, your brakes are going to get a workout. You want them in top condition.
In addition, survey belts and hoses. If any of them are close to wearing out, have them replaced before your long trip does them in.
Change your engine air filter if it needs it or if it’s close to needing it. For every gallon of gas you burn, your air filter processes 12,000 gallons of air. A clean air filter will protect vital electronic sensors that effect how your engine runs.
Get an oil change at Bayville Auto Care in Bayville if it’s coming due. Make it a full-service oil change while you’re at it. That way, all of your fluids will get checked and topped off. Change any dirty or old fluids. Bayville car owners don’t want to overstress their cooling systems or transmissions with harmful dirty fluid during a long trip.
Of course, almost everything listed here is just part of important preventive maintenance for smart Bayville car owners. If you keep up with your car care on a regular basis, a trip inspection will be a breeze at Bayville Auto Care.
Taking care of your vehicle before you leave for a road trip will pay you back in safety, peace of mind, improved comfort and better gas mileage. It will also help your vacation go as planned by keeping you on the road and headed for that next great adventure. Just don’t forget to pack your socks.
People from Bayville New Jersey love their cars. And nothing goes with cars better than a New Jersey road trip. Freedom from daily schedules, new sights and the open road – it’s great! But there’s nothing like car trouble to bring the fun to a grinding halt.
Now you can’t always avoid problems, but you can take steps to reduce the probability of getting sidelined on your trip.
Heading out on a New Jersey road trip? Stop by Bayville Auto Care before you head out to make sure everything is in good repair.
Let’s look at some of the auto maintenance related problems you might encounter on a road trip and what you might do to avoid them.
It all starts with a thorough trip inspection by your Bayville New Jersey service professionals at Bayville Auto Care. Let’s talk about some of the items on the trip inspection checklist.
The most common vehicle component to fail is the tires. Of course, you can’t always avoid a road hazard that leads to a flat, but you may be able to head off some maintenance-connected tire problems.
A good tire inspection will start with looking over the condition of the tire itself. Are there signs of uneven tire wear? Are the tires properly inflated? Is the tread worn to the point that the tire should be replaced? The answers to these questions may lead to a recommendation to balance or rotate your tires. It may also be time to have an alignment service.
Your brakes should be inspected for function as well as to determine how much life is left in your brake pads. You’ll also want to know if it’s time to service your brake fluid. Over time water and contaminants make their way into your brake fluid and the system needs to be flushed, cleaned and filled with fresh fluid.
While looking under your car, your Bayville auto technician should also inspect your suspension system for worn or damaged parts. If you need new shocks or struts, you’ll really notice the difference on your trip once you have them replaced.
Now the second most common vehicle failure is the cooling system. It may be time for a coolant exchange or flush. These services remove old fluid that has become corrosive and replaces it with fresh, clean fluid that restores the effectiveness of your cooling system.
The cooling system inspection will reveal leaks and weakened hoses. Replacing worn parts, like the radiator cap or water pump may be indicated. Even though cooling system failure is fairly common, it’s easy and relatively inexpensive to prevent with proper maintenance.
Another thing people often overlook their transmission service. This is very important before a road trip because transmission problems tend to take some time and money to get fixed. Not the way you want to spend your vacation.
Your technician will inspect your belts to see if they should be replaced. A failed belt is at best an inconvenience. He’ll also give your exhaust system the once over to make sure there aren’t any dangerous leaks that could harm you and your passengers.
Of course, there are the usual things as well. An oil change, engine air filter, fuel system cleaning, a tune up. If you need any of these things, get them done today at Bayville Auto Care – the improved fuel economy will be appreciated on your road trip.
If your heater or air conditioning isn’t working as well as you’d like, let your Bayville New Jersey service consultant know at Bayville Auto Care.
Some important items that are often overlooked are power steering service, differential service and timing belt replacement. If these things don’t ring a bell, have your service consultant check to see if they’re due.
Now while you’re out seeing the sights, you’ll want to make sure you can see the sights. Replace your windshield wipers if they aren’t working well. And don’t forget your headlamps. They gradually lose their brightness and you don’t even realize it. Many people replace their lamps once or twice a year.
All the items mentioned are part of any good vehicle maintenance plan. These are things that you want to take care of anyway, but they all come into focus as you plan for your trip. They’ll always save you money in the long run and may prevent inconvenient delays on your trip. After all, you wouldn’t want to miss the world’s largest ball of string, would you?
A recent report stated that over 80 percent of the vehicles on our Bayville New Jersey roads have one or more service or repair that’s needed, but hasn’t been taken care of. Now that’s a lot of undone service. That translates into something over 160 million vehicles in the U.S. alone. Some of the neglected items are minor. Others are serious safety concerns.
There are several reasons why we hesitate to take care of recommended services; especially services that our Bayville New Jersey automotive advisor recommends when we’re in for something else, like an oil change.
Perhaps your dad knew a lot about cars and always made sure they were taken care of. He was very comfortable dealing with his local Bayville New Jersey service advisor. People who don’t know as much about cars hesitate to ask questions because they don’t want to look ignorant.
It’s human nature. But, there’s so much to know in this world, we can’t all be experts in everything. So we specialize. It’s very important to ask questions of any specialist, whether it’s your doctor, financial advisor or your automotive technician in Bayville, New Jersey.
Your auto technician at Bayville Auto Care wants your questions. We want you to understand the recommendation and why it needs to be done.
At the heart, it speaks to trust. Do you trust your Bayville service center and your service advisor? Trust has to be earned and that takes time and experience. But you can shortcut the process when you realize that most of the recommendations are based on manufacturer’s maintenance schedules.
Your Bayville service center has computer databases that contain the manufacturer’s recommendations for almost all vehicles, so they don’t need to rummage through your glove box to look for your owner’s manual to know what to do.
Now you do need to trust your Bayville technician’s experience and judgment from time to time. When he inspects your vehicle, he may find problems or concerns. He will explain things so that you can prioritize the concern and make a good decision about whether or not to have something done.
Look, everyone who works at Bayville Auto Care has a family budget, too. They can relate. Maybe a little look behind the scenes would be helpful.
Service centers like Bayville Auto Care invest heavily in training, diagnostic equipment and tools so that they can make repairs and perform services as efficiently as possible. And like any other business, they have labor costs, insurance, rent, utilities, shop and office supplies, taxes and so on.
When there is a real budget concern, your Bayville service center can help you prioritize the work that needs to be done and come up with a plan for taking care of it that works within your budget.
