Marshall BB2 Bluesbreaker
The Bluesbreaker II takes the philosophy of our original Bluesbreaker pedal one step further by adding two modes, Blues and Boost, effectively making it two pedals in one. Boost mode is designed with the vintage valve amp or 'tone purist' player in mind, for when you don't want to alter the tone of your amp at all, but want to drive the front end harder to push the amp further into natural overdrive.
The Boost mode features a clean boost controlled by the pedal's volume control, which will not affect your original tone. It can also be used for boosting the signal which can sometimes be lost when using long leads (particularly with single coil pick-ups). Blues mode is reminiscent of the tonal and distortion characteristics of our non Master Volume amps, such as the classic Bluesbreaker combo from the 1960s. This mode produces a wonderful natural style overdrive for crunchy chord work and singing single notes for truly inspirational leads, all delivered with the warmth and tonality of those early Marshalls.

Ready, steady Betty -- no surprises in District 4.
Rep. Betty McCollum has won a decisive victory in the 4th Congressional District against Republican Teresa Collett with 99 percent of the precincts reporting.
Since this outcome was so unsurprising we figured we'd ask -- did anything about this time around surprise McCollum?
"There was a lack of respect and lack of decency in the way that some of the Tea Party representatives attended rallies and conducted themselves," she says.
McCollum carried 60.84 percent of the vote in the ultra-Democratic district. Collett, a law professor at St. Thomas University, took only 32.98 percent.
"I ran on my record. My record is working with President Obama," McCollum says. "There is still a lot of work to do."
And arguably a lot harder work, after what happened nationally in this election.
The race was, to many, a foregone conclusion, as McCollum has been trouncing Republican challengers since she took office in 2001.
Challenger Collett was a pro-life, anti-gay marriage conservative who ran on repealing the health care reform bill and reducing the size of government.
Surprise-lessness aside, we have some fond memories of this time around.
There was that career-ending revelation that once, eight years ago, McCollum missed the words "under God" while reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. How she recovered from that one we'll never know.
There was the entrance of cuckoo-crazypants Jack Shephard, the fugitive Minnesotan living in Italy who ran on a pro-marijuana agenda during the primary. His bid for the 4th district morphed into the "Mad As Hell" write-in campaign when he -- shocker -- did not clinch the GOP nomination.
But as it turns out, St. Paulites are less mad as hell as they are mad about McCollum.

rate surgery to correct problems.
Q: When is the appropriate time for women to receive mammography screenings?
45 should consult with their doctor based on personal risk and family history. Nonetheless, most organizations are still endorsing annual mammography beginning at age 40, with variable recommendations regarding when to discontinue screening.
A: Typically 2-D mammography, which shows the breast in two dimensions, is used for screening. The newer 3-D mammography, or tomosynthesis, is more sensitive, increasing breast cancer detection rates while decreasing the number of callbacks for abnormalities seen on screening. The 3-D technology is becoming more available but is not usually covered by most insurers at this time. Although detection rate is improved, we do not know if this technology will lead to improved overall survival.
A: Being overweight has been associated with an increased risk of numerous cancers, including breast, colon and endometrial cancer. In fact, if all adults reduced their body mass index (BMI) by 1 percent, that would result in the avoidance of approximately 100,000 new cases of cancer.
A: Breast MRI is hands down the best test that exists to date for the detection of breast cancer. Unfortunately it can't be offered to all women because of various factors, including cost, the time it takes and the lack of qualified people to read the scans. But someday in the future it may potentially replace mammography as a much more sensitive screen test for breast cancer.

Asking this question can turn your life around. Thinking of others first—reaching out to them despite how it might inconvenience you—causes you to feel joy. This gift of feeling good (or feeling God) within comes from serving and surrendering rather than asking and demanding.
There's no room for blame in your life as long as you live with kindness. Blaming your past. Blaming the economy. Blaming your perceived personal flaws. Blaming God. Blaming your parents. Blaming your children or your spouse. Blaming your DNA. There's no shortage of circumstances, people, and events to blame—and there's no shortage of blame itself.
When you shift to compassion, all blame disappears. So no matter what you may want for yourself, discover how you can want it more for someone else, and then make that shift. In that contemplative moment, compassion will eradicate finger-pointing. And you'll begin to think like God thinks: serving, offering, giving, and loving freely.
I've certainly found that when I remember to nurture kindness and courtesy, everything in my life seems to move toward more harmony and peace, to say nothing of how much better I feel when I'm giving rather than wanting.
1. Compassion is the single most important quality that humanity needs to learn. This is the way to find happiness and health and to feel successful.
2. War and violence would become extinct in one generation if, beginning at the age of five, children were taught to meditate on compassion for an hour a week for the rest of their lives. Such is the power of a compassionate approach to life, which is truly thinking of others and living by the ancient Golden Rule.
The very second you feel yourself retreating to blaming and making excuses, repeat the mantra How may I serve? Then act upon the answers you receive. You'll become aligned with the universal mind, which is always giving, and the bonus is that you'll notice the universe asking you back, "How may I serve you?" As your compassion for others flows back to you, remember the truth I've written about many times: You do not attract what you want; you attract what you are. So make compassion be what you are.
Upon awakening, let the words Thank you flow from your lips, for this will remind you to begin your day with gratitude and compassion. Make it a practice to begin each day by thinking first of someone else and then making a decision to actively do something, anything, that will bring a smile to his or her face. When you become conscious of wanting to do something kind for another human being, you move into a higher way of being. It takes your thoughts off yourself and What's in it for me? and puts them on How may I serve? which is precisely how the universal mind we call the Tao or God is always operating. When you're aligned with a compassionate outlook, your entire day will reflect this kind of awareness.
If you believe as Martin Luther King, Jr. did that our culture needs restructuring and that compassion is the way, I urge you to work toward electing people to public office—at all levels—who relate sensitivity and kindness in their messages to the public. Look for the compassionate heart, rather than the one that excludes, punishes, seeks revenge, or manipulates with government power. The more our institutions reflect this humane attitude, the fewer collective excuses we will call upon to explain why we haven't been able to create the heaven on earth that is our true calling.
As I've frequently stated, the active repetition of an inner mantra reinforces and creates exactly what you're saying to yourself. Therefore, repeat the following to yourself for at least five minutes: I am a being of compassion. I extend love outward everywhere because this is my nature. Affirm this to yourself continually, and post it in a prominent place in your home, your office, or even your car.
This is compassion in action!

Why a SoCal probationer with 3 arrests stayed
It's not always easy to get another agency to take its offenders, police say.
Why a SoCal probationer with 3 arrests stayed It's not always easy to get another agency to take its offenders, police say. Check out this story on redding.com: http://reddingne.ws/2wiJjZ4
Alayna Shulman, Record Searchlight Published 6:50 p.m. PT Aug. 18, 2017 | Updated 3:08 p.m. PT Aug. 19, 2017
Jesse Michael Wynn(Photo: Shasta County Jail)
How does an Orange County probationer manage to stay in Redding after three alleged violations of his probation in under a month, leaving him to allegedly stab a local man at random?
Police say that was the case for 23-year-old Jesse Michael Wynn, accused of attempted murder in what police say was a random stabbing in a busy retail hub Thursday morning, as well as an alleged burglary and attempted carjacking that same day.
Wynn's alleged crime streak horrified many Redding residents, who complained on social media that it wouldn't have happened if he'd been sent back to Orange County for his earlier alleged probation violations. Those include several warrants for alleged crimes in Orange County and San Francisco, Redding police Cpl. Brian Cole said, as well as a separate burglary in town.
More: SoCal stabbing suspect also burglarized Montessori school, RPD says
But several things can be at play, Cole said.
While Cole said Shasta County Jail officials would ultimately have the answer in Wynn's case, sometimes they either have to let someone out before another county's agents can make the trip to pick up an offender in Shasta. But other times, outside counties don't bother, he said.
"One of the problems is getting other agencies to come pick up their people," he said. "Or it may be that Orange County said, 'Cite him out with a new court date.'"
Sheriff's officials couldn't be reached for comment Friday, and an Orange County Probation Department representative said the Record Searchlight would have to file a California Public Records Act request for any information on the agency's dealings with Shasta County. That request has been filed and is pending.
Cole said Redding's position on the busy Interstate 5 corridor means it gets plenty of out-of-towners with "significant criminal backgrounds," since someone looking to get away from a probation officer would logically go to a city that's far away, but easy to access.
"I think that's just part of being a town off of the I-5 corridor," he said.
But that may bring a flip side, he said.
"I'm sure there are ... agencies down south and have some of our problem people," he said. "I think that's just kind of the nature of the business."
And in Wynn's case, Cole said the latest alleged crime should at least be enough to make a jail sentence stick.
"I do not believe he'll be being released anytime soon," he said.

Ron Paul on Energy & Oil
Republican Representative (TX-14); previously Libertarian for President
Develop energy independence; no crony handouts like Solyndra
President Obama remains committed to the same old system of debt, deficits, bailouts, and cronyism that created our economic problems. The President speaks of giving us energy independence from unstable nations, yet he refuses to allow the type of development needed to achieve this goal, while at the same time his administration hands out favors to the politically connected--those given to the likes of Solyndra, who fail to produce jobs or energy but succeed in ripping off the taxpayers.

No nuclear waste in Yucca Mt.; it's other states' garbage
Q: [to Gingrich]: Do you support opening the national nuclear repository at Yucca Mountain?
GINGRICH: We have to find a safe method of keeping nuclear waste in a very, very deep place that would be able to sustain 10,000 or 20,000 and 30,000 years of geological safety.
Q: Is Yucca Mountain that place?
GINGRICH: Most geologists believe that, in fact, Yucca Mountain is.
PAUL: I've opposed this. I approach it from a state's rights position. What right does 49 states have to punish one state and say, "We're going to put our garbage in your state"? I think that's wrong. The government shouldn't be in the business of subsidizing any form of energy. Nuclear energy is a good source of energy, but they still get subsidies. Then we as politicians and the bureaucrats get involved with which state's going to get stuck with the garbage. The more the free market handles this and the more you deal with property rights and no subsidies to any form of energy, the easier this problem would be solved.

I can get you a gallon of gas for a silver dime
BACHMANN: [to Paul]: The day that Pres. Obama took office, gasoline was $1.79 a gallon. Let's have a goal of bringing it down.
Q: Everybody would like $2 gas, but is it realistic for a president to promise that?
PAUL: I do want to address the subject of $2 oil or gasoline, because I can do it much better than that. I can get you a gallon of gasoline for a dime. You can buy a gallon of gasoline today for a silver dime. A silver dime is worth $3.50. It's all about inflation and too many regulations.

Absurd to let global bureaucrats try to manipulate climate
Regardless of whether one believes global warming is real, I seriously doubt the capacity of a global body made up of bureaucrats and scientists on the public payroll, when given the power to attempt a global climate manipulation, to cook up a workable plan with effects that cannot be discerned for twenty or more years. I've seen how government programs work. They aren't designed to last more than a single election cycle. The idea that government can plan weather patterns for decades strikes me as the height of absurdity. Building up fear and manipulating people into demanding that government save is how radical environmentalists operate. Cap and trade legislation will introduce a whole new product of CO2 permits that will be created and traded by the big financial interests bailed out after the crash, such as Goldman Sachs.

Big Oil profits ok; Big Oil subsidies are not
Q: Bush's energy bill provided billions of dollars in tax breaks & subsidies to the oil companies with the goal of boosting domestic production at a time of record profits. Do you support that?
A: I don't think the profits is the issue. The profits are okay if they're legitimately earned in a free market. What I object to are subsidies to big corporations when we subsidize them and give them R&D money. I don't think that should be that way. They should take it out of the funds that they earn.

Congressional Summary:Amends the Clean Air Act to prohibit the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from promulgating any regulation the emission of a greenhouse gas (GHG) to address climate change.
Excludes GHGs from the definition of "air pollutant" for purposes of addressing climate change.
Exempts from such prohibition existing regulations on fuel efficiency, research, or CO2 monitoring.
Repeals and makes ineffective other rules and actions concerning GHGs.
[Rep. Upton, R-MI]: This legislation will remove the biggest regulatory threat to the American economy. This is a threat imposed not by Congress, but entirely by the Obama EPA. This administration wanted a cap-and-trade system to regulate greenhouse gases, but Congress said no. So beginning in early 2009, EPA began putting together a house of cards to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide. The agency began with automobiles, declaring that their emissions endangered public health. That single endangerment finding has since been used by EPA to launch an unparalleled onslaught. The result, two years later, is a series of regulations that will ultimately affect every citizen, every industry, really every aspect of our economy and way of life.
[Rep. Waxman, D-CA]: This bill is a direct assault on the Clean Air Act. Its premise is that climate change is a hoax and carbon pollution does not endanger health and welfare. But climate change is real. It is caused by pollution, and it is a serious threat to our health and welfare. We need to confront these realities. American families count on the EPA to keep our air and water clean. But this bill has politicians overruling the experts at EPA, and it exempts our biggest polluters from regulation. If this bill is enacted, the EPA's ability to control dangerous carbon pollution will be gutted. Reference: Energy Tax Prevention Act; Bill H.910 ; vote number 11-HV249 on Apr 7, 2011
Voted NO on enforcing limits on CO2 global warming pollution.
Congressional Summary:Requires utilities to supply an increasing percentage of their demand from a combination of energy efficiency savings and renewable energy (6% in 2012, 9.5% in 2014, 13% in 2016, 16.5% in 2018, and 20% in 2021). Provides for:
issuing, trading, and verifying renewable electricity credits; and
prescribing standards to define and measure electricity savings from energy efficiency and energy conservation measures.
Amends the Clean Air Act (CAA) to set forth a national strategy to address barriers to the commercial-scale deployment of carbon capture and sequestration.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. ED MARKEY (D, MA-7): For the first time in the history of our country, we will put enforceable limits on global warming pollution. At its core, however, this is a jobs bill. It will create millions of new, clean-energy jobs in whole new industries with incentives to drive competition in the energy marketplace. It sets ambitious and achievable standards for energy efficiency and renewable energy from solar, wind, geothermal, biomass so that by 2020, 20% of America's energy will be clean.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. BOB GOODLATTE (R, VA-6): I agree that this bill has very important consequences, but those consequences are devastating for the future of the economy of this country. It's a fantasy that this legislation will turn down the thermostat of the world by reducing CO2 gas emissions when China & India & other nations are pumping more CO2 gas into the atmosphere all the time. We would be far better served with legislation that devotes itself to developing new technologies before we slam the door on our traditional sources of energy like coal and oil and and nuclear power. We support the effort for energy efficiency. We do not support this kind of suicide for the American economy. Unfortunately, cap and trade legislation would only further cripple our economy. Reference: American Clean Energy and Security Act; Bill H.R.2454 ; vote number 2009-H477 on Jun 26, 2009
Voted NO on tax credits for renewable electricity, with PAYGO offsets.
Congressional Summary:Extends the tax credit for producing electricity from renewable resources:
(1) through 2009 for wind facilities; and
(2) through FY2011 for closed and open-loop biomass, geothermal, small irrigation power, landfill gas, trash combustion, and hydropower facilities.
Includes marine and hydrokinetic renewable energy as a renewable resource for purposes of such tax credit.
Includes cellulosic biofuel within the definition of "biomass ethanol plant property" for purposes of bonus depreciation.
Allows a new tax credit for the production of qualified plug-in electric drive motor vehicles.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes: Rep. RICHARD NEAL (D, MA-2): This bill contains extensions of popular tax incentives that expired at the end of last year. This needs to get under way. The R&D tax credit is important. This bill includes a number of popular and forward-thinking incentives for energy efficiency. This is a very balanced bill which does no harm to the Federal Treasury. It asks that hedge fund managers pay a bit more, and it delays an international tax break that hasn't gone into effect yet. It is responsible legislation.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. DAVE CAMP (R, MI-4): We are conducting another purely political exercise on a tax bill that is doomed in the other body because of our House majority's insistence on adhering to the misguided PAYGO rules. The Senate acted on a bipartisan basis to find common ground on this issue. They approved a comprehensive tax relief package containing extenders provisions that are not fully offset, as many Democrats would prefer, but contain more offsets than Republicans would like. Why is this our only option? Because the Senate, which has labored long and hard to develop that compromise, has indicated in no uncertain terms that it is not going to reconsider these issues again this year.
[The bill was killed in the Senate]. Reference: Renewable Energy and Job Creation Tax Act; Bill H.R.7060 ; vote number 2008-H649 on Sep 26, 2008
OnTheIssues.org Explanation: This bill passed the House but was killed in the Senate on a rejected Cloture Motion, Senate rollcall #150
Congressional Summary: A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide Tax incentives for energy production and conservation, to extend certain expiring provisions, and to provide individual income tax relief.
Sec. 146. Qualified green building and sustainable design projects.
Opponents argument for voting NAY: Sen. SPECTER: H.R. 6049 would revive important tax provisions that expired at the end of 2007 and extend provisions that are set to expire at the end of 2008. I support extension of the R&D tax credit, the renewable energy tax incentives, and many other important provisions in this package.
Despite the positive elements of this legislation, the main sticking point is whether temporary extensions of tax relief should be offset with permanent tax increases elsewhere. The White House issued a statement recommending a Presidential veto of this bill in its current form. [Vote NAY to] allow the Senate to work its will and pass legislation that can be quickly signed by the President. Reference: Renewable Energy and Job Creation Act; Bill HR6049 ; vote number 2008-344 on May 21, 2008
Voted NO on tax incentives for renewable energy.
CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY: Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation Tax Act of 2008:
Production Incentives: Extends through 2011 the tax credit for the production of electricity from renewable resources (e.g., wind, biomass, geothermal, and hydropower).
Extends through 2016 the energy tax credit for investment in solar energy and fuel cell property.
Allows a new tax credit for the production of plug-in hybrid vehicles.
Extends through 2010 the tax credits for biodiesel (including agri-biodiesel)
Allows an alcohol fuels tax credit for the production of qualified cellulosic alcohol fuel.
Denies the tax deduction for income attributable to domestic production of oil, gas, or any related products.
SUPPORTER'S ARGUMENT FOR VOTING YES:Rep. MATSUI: Today's debate is about investing in renewable energy, which will chart a new direction for our country's energy policy. This bill restores balance to our energy policy after years of a tax structure that favors huge oil companies. Today's legislation will transfer some of the massive profits enjoyed by these oil companies and invest them in renewable resources that will power our economy in the future.
OPPONENT'S ARGUMENT FOR VOTING NO:Rep. SMITH of Texas: I oppose H.R. 5351. While it is well and good to encourage alternative energy development, Congress should not do so by damaging our domestic oil and gas industry. In 2006 all renewable energy sources provided only 6% of the US domestic energy supply. In contrast, oil and natural gas provided 58% of our domestic energy supply. The numbers don't lie. Oil and natural gas fuel our economy and sustain our way of life.
Furthermore, almost 2 million Americans are directly employed in the oil and natural gas industry. Punishing one of our Nation's most important industries does not constitute a national energy policy.
LEGISLATIVE OUTCOME:Bill passed House, 236-182 Reference: Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation Tax Act; Bill H.R.5351 ; vote number 08-HR5351 on Feb 12, 2008
Voted NO on criminalizing oil cartels like OPEC.
Amends the Sherman Anti-Trust Act to declare it to be illegal for any foreign states to act collectively to limit the US price or distribution of oil, natural gas, or any other petroleum product. Denies a foreign state engaged in such conduct sovereign immunity from the jurisdiction of US courts
Gas prices have now reached an all-time record high, $3.27 a gallon, topping even the 1981 spike. This won't be the end of these skyrocketing price hikes either.
OPEC oil exports represent 70% of all the oil traded internationally. For years now, OPEC's price-fixing conspiracy has unfairly driven up the price and cost of imported crude oil to satisfy the greed of oil exporters. We have long decried OPEC, but have done little or nothing to stop this. The time has come.
This bill makes fixing oil prices or illegal under US law, just as it would be for any company engaging in the same conduct. It attempts to break up this cartel and subject these colluders and their anticompetitive practices to the antitrust scrutiny that they so richly deserve.
We can only affect OPEC subsidiaries in the US. So the result of this bill would be to hurt US companies while not affecting OPEC itself.
OPEC is a cartel, but we have to deal with it diplomatically. The Sherman Anti-Trust Act was designed for US monopolies, not international state-run cartels.
We should focus on domestic policies to affect gas prices. We cannot respond to a short-term crisis with a long-term response.
Repeal weatherization assistance for low-income persons.
Paul co-sponsored Stop Green Initiative Abuse Act
Congressional Summary:Amends the Energy Conservation and Production Act to repeal provisions concerning the Department of Energy's weatherization assistance program for low-income persons to increase energy efficiency of dwellings.
Proponent's Comments (Rep. Chuck Fleischmann Press Release):Fleischmann said, "I have worked since day one to balance our budget and stop the 'tax, borrow, spend' mentality that has dominated Washington for far too long. I am glad to introduce legislation to end the Weatherization Assistance Program in order to save billions of dollars."
Other federal programs, such as the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), are already in place to assist low-income households in managing energy costs. The Dept. of Energy's Inspector General conducted a review of this program concluding that weatherization work on homes was poorly administered and led to potentially harmful effects for home inhabitants.
Opponent's Comments (GreenBuildingAdvisor.com, Nov. 22, 2011):The purpose of the measure is to eliminate the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP), which provides free weatherization services for low-income households. The WAP has historically been ignored by politicians as a cost-cutting target because its annual budget was, at a few million dollars, relatively small. But its budget ballooned dramatically--to about $5 billion over three years--under the federal stimulus program.
The congressman says the WAP is dispensable because LIHEAP is already in place. Weatherization improvements, however, provide ongoing energy savings rather than one-time assistance with energy bills.
Fleischmann points to a DOE review that called the expanded program "poorly administered." But the main concern identified in that report was the sluggish rollout of services in many states, due to confusion over wage and other implementation requirements. Source: H.R.3441 11-H3441 on Nov 16, 2011
No EPA regulation of greenhouse gases.
Paul co-sponsored Free Industry Act
Congressional Summary of H.R.97:
Amends the Clean Air Act to:
exclude from the definition of the term "air pollutant" carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, or sulfur hexafluoride; and
declare that nothing in the Act shall be treated as authorizing or requiring the regulation of climate change or global warming.
Congressional Summary of H.R.153, "Ensuring Affordable Energy Act":
Prohibits any funds appropriated or otherwise available for the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from being used to implement or enforce:
a cap-and-trade program (any regulatory program that provides for the sale, auction, or other distribution of a limited amount of allowances that permit the emission of one or more greenhouse gases); or
any statutory or regulatory requirement pertaining to emissions of one or more greenhouse gases from stationary sources that is issued after January 1, 2011.
OnTheIssues Explanation:These two related bills exclude the EPA from taking on global warming by defining greenhouse gases as a "pollutant." These bills do not directly oppose regulating greenhouse gases nor cap-and-trade; either could still be accomplished by an act of Congress. Instead, they REQUIRE an act of Congress, rather than letting the President and the EPA bypass Congress by regulatory implementation instead of legislative implementation.

Liberty Candidate: tax incentives for US-based alternatives.
Paul signed 2010 Congressional endorsement list
A Liberty Candidate will Defend the Great American Principles of Free Markets and Constitutional Government, [such as the views of] Peter Schiff, Senate 2010 candidate from Connecticut, on the Economy: "Strong fiscally conservative principles and beliefs that our economic recovery should be left to the free market through businesses and individuals--not the federal government."
And [such as the views of] Michael McPadden, Congress 2010 candidate from Virginia, on Energy: "I favor tax incentives for alternative energy, but I oppose subsidies, which has the effect of allowing the government to choose winners and losers. I favor tax incentives for research into finding cheaper liquefaction and gasification processes for coal. The private businesses that would be involved in the exploration and development of these American energy sources would also be creating real, high paying, permanent jobs for real Americans in real congressional districts."

Springtime at the boatyard by Jo Bell – …eats, reads & rambles.
This month's poem came into my hands on World Book Night. As part of the celebrations we were giving away copies of Jo Bell's wonderful collection Kith through work and I've been tucking into it all week.
I start my working week by leading a Shared Reading session. Group members of all ages and walks of life come together to share a story and a poem, everything is read aloud and we take the time to talk about the literature, not in an academic sense, but through personal connections – what does it make us feel, what does it remind us of. Since January we've been reading Carys Bray's A Song for Issy Bradley, a desperately sad story about a Mormon family as they struggle to process the death of a child. It's been rather tough going so I've been trying to balance the emotional roller coaster with an uplifting poem to finish off our mornings reading together.
When I began flicking through Jo Bell's collection so many of the titles caught my eye – Cuntstruck for instance certainly made me stop in my tracks for a moment – but I plumped for Excavation. Reaching into the past, digging up the relics of history in an effort to connect with and understand our ancestors – I'd just finished Sapiens and this poem screamed up at me from the page, but I realised that it also chimed with Issy Bradley – trying to speak to the dead, to find answers, perhaps unsuccessfully. It gave us so much to talk about in the group, not least about the debris of our own lives which might someday write our stories.
Since then I've been dipping in and out of Kith, and with the sudden sunburst of spring days somehow already burnt out, I looked for signs of spring among the pages instead – I found it in the boatyard.
You can keep your cuckoos.
as bright as daffodils on workshop floors.
we have rust like pollen on our skins.
for building this year's stories.
Originally published on The Poetry Society.
Next How do you like your eggs in the morning? I like mine with sriracha.

Changing Consciousness with Acupuncture: Treatment of PTSD, Fixation & Obsession.
Acupuncture, Consciousness, Depression, Emotional Health, Emotions, Hopelessness, Mental Health, PTSD, Trauma
Acupuncture points have intrinsic functions and actions. They can adjust the physiology of the body. They also work on the mind. The names of the acupuncture points give clues as to their nature and function; the names also illuminate what role they play within the acupuncture channel system as a whole.
The classical "Five Element" school of acupuncture, as transmitted through J.R.R. Worsley emphasized the "spirit" of the points, as expressed through their names. Each point has a personality, a nature and a "spirit." To work with the points can be like working with wise teachers: the spirit of a point always has a lesson and wisdom to impart.
In a previous article I discussed the importance of the Luo "Connecting Vessels" in the treatment of trauma and its manifestations. The Luo Vessels are designed as "collaterals" to assist the main acupuncture channels. They branch off from the main channels to create subbranches where unresolved traumas are stored in a state of latency until they can be dealt with. For example, the Heart channel begins in the chest and travels through the armpit, down the inner arm into the small finger. The Luo Vessel of the Heart branches from the main channel near the wrist to travel back up the arm into the chest and Heart organ itself, depositing traumatic material and its remnants along the way.
Luo Vessels show themselves through visibility on the skin. The Primary channels are invisible and deep. Their dynamics can only be accessed through pulse diagnosis. Whereas Luo Vessels make themselves visible on the surface of the body. They manifest as spider veins, varicosity, complexion change, and as lipomas and swellings. The Luo, as they hold onto our issues and traumas show themselves to the world. Our traumas and issues are painted on own skin, expressed through our complexion and gaze. The body can reveal so much.
Each Luo Vessel separates from its main acupuncture channel at a specific point, called the Luo point. For example, the Heart's Luo Vessel separates from the Heart channel at the point HT-5 Tong Li, translated as "Penetrating the Interior": the point to "Clear up and Break through 1000 miles of obstruction."
Classic symptoms of the Heart's Luo Vessel are a feeling of stuffiness, tension or pain in the chest and loss of voice. Commentators say these symptoms are psychosomatic expressions of "heart pain" coming from a sense of betrayal which causes a person to become so traumatized they cannot articulate or discuss the event or issue.
The name of HT-5 however does not mention betrayal or something negative or painful. It is a name that is empowering and hopeful. It is a point that presents itself as a way to break through trauma through "penetrating" into the heart of a situation or issue. This kind of breakthrough allows a person to make great progress in their life. I think this point and its name are representative and reflective of the entirety of what the Luo Vessels as a whole can do, therapeutically. While the Luo don't treat or resolve the issues and traumas they hold onto, treating them via acupuncture does. The Luo points when stimulated, illuminate and help release the issues and traumas they are holding onto. To prick a Luo point helps us consciously "penetrate" into an issue we may have suppressed or repressed. They help us clear the barriers in our lives created by trauma, disappointment, fixation, aversion. They can help us release our stories: ways in which we feel we've been victimized or betrayed by life. These stagnations cause us to feel "stuck" or inhibited in our lives. To release them frees up "miles and miles" of pathway, so our movement forward becomes unencumbered.
My longtime teacher and mentor has said HT-5 is a point that helps us recognize and feel that everything in our life is unfolding as it should. Even the heartbreaks and traumas were necessary for our growth and development. However we can become stuck along the way. The Luo Vessels are tools which help free us when we get stuck. They help us break through the barriers we've constructed in our lives and minds. They help us recognize what we've become addicted to or fixated on, or the things we are avoiding, adverse to or insecure about. The Luo teach us that fixation or aversion, addiction, overindulgence and avoidance are ultimately disempowering: a rejection of our spiritual path.
Taoist philosophy, upon which acupuncture is based, sees every event in our lives as necessary for spiritual growth. When we reject our experiences or lack the ability to process them, we lose an important opportunity to learn and evolve. The Luo Vessels, and HT-5 in particular help us learn to embrace our experiences by penetrating into the deeper meaning of them.
The trajectories of the Luo Vessels are important to understand. They help us see how the body translocates and stores the remnants of trauma. The Luo illustrate what trauma does to the physiology and psychology of the body.
The Lung's Luo Vessel, as discussed in a prior article travels from the Luo point LU-7 "a Break in the Sequence" at the wrist into the palm of the hand, following the flow of the Lung's Primary Channel which also descends into the hand. The Luo Vessel goes into the palm, diverging into a point on the Pericardium channel, PC-8 "Palace of Toil," instead of following the Lung's Primary channel into the thumb. The statement being made with this pathway is that the person chooses to not allow an experience to release and resolve, as represented by the point LU-11 on the thumb. Instead the person fixates on the experience, trying desperately and stubbornly to keep it alive, even though it causes toil, strife, agitation and inflammation. By releasing the Lung's Luo Vessel, the person is encouraged to break away from their fixation to allow the experience to release and resolve.
The Heart's Luo Vessel follows a different type of path. Instead of following the Heart's Primary channel to descend into the little finger, the Heart's Luo Vessel ascends against the flow of the Heart channel to return to the chest and go into the Heart. This is unique in several ways. First of all, very few Luo Vessels enter and contact the internal organs. Second of all, going against the flow of the channel suggests a type of "Rebellious energy," yet also a desire to revisit the traumas of the past instead of moving forward on one's path. This can be a type of rejection of one's spiritual path: a willful attempt to change it or stagnate ourselves in time, refusing to allow our lives to unfold. This can be especially activated by the experience loss and letting go: both of which are natural to life, and necessary for spiritual growth. Things come into our lives and exit as they must. This can be especially difficult for some people. It can cause them to reject their path and try and hold onto what has been lost.
The Heart's Primary channel is seen as an "ode" to the spiritual journey one undergoes in life. The names of the points along the Heart channel are evocative in this respect. The first point on the Heart channel (HT-1), located in the armpit is called "Ultimate Spring," followed by "Blue-Green Soul" (HT-2) and "Lesser Sea" (HT-3). These points represent a person's incarnation, coming from the ultimate reality of the unlimited to form themselves into a limited personality with a focused path in life. HT-4, the next point is called "Path of the Soul" to further reflect this. The points that follow are HT-6 which represents the emergencies and traumas of life and HT-5 which talks about breaking through the obstructions caused by trauma. HT-7 is called the "Spirit Gate." Before HT-7 the points talk about the Soul. HT-7 is the first point to talk about the actual spirit. The statement being made here is when one can break through the obstructions and traumas of one's life they can enter into the door of the Spirit to get a sense of their mission in life: their spiritual journey.
The spirit requires surrender, giving ourselves over. The soul is more reflective of attachments. The points that follow: HT-8 "lesser palace" and HT-9 "lesser incarnation" both represent letting go of aspects of our lives that weigh down the spirit: our attachments. When we are able to enter into the "spirit gate" we find we require less to make us feel fulfilled, which allows our incarnation to become lighter so our spirit is more free.
HT-5 as a Luo Vessel interrupts the movement from HT-4 the "soul path" and HT-6 "emergencies" into HT-7 the "spirit gate." HT-5 as a Luo Vessel shows that when we cannot face, address or resolve the challenges of our lives, this will cause a retrograde in the Heart channel, preventing movement into the "spirit gate" of surrender which requires the lessening of our burdens and attachments in life. We choose instead to go backwards into greater attachment. We become rebellious against our spirit path. This causes heart pain and an inability to express ourselves fully, sometimes even to ourselves. We lose the capacity to articulate what our lives are about. We cease to feel animated and empowered within our spiritual journey; instead we may feel a victim, betrayed by life, unwilling to move forward and let go.
The Heart's Luo Vessel is different from that of the Lungs. The Lung Luo creates an obsessiveness that desires constant stimulation, usually for the object of one's obsession or fixation. The person has an event that causes a "break in the sequence" in their lives: a trauma. This causes them to fixate and see the world and their options in life in a limited way, causing them to enter a state of toil and strife. Rather than allow life to flow organically, they willfully try to make something work that is not organically working. They exhaust themselves in the process. They can't let go and let new possibilities into their lives.
The Heart manifests a state of "heart pain" that is born from a sense of betrayal. The person may feel cheated by life and wish to reject and change the past; or hold onto something is passing away or denied to them. They don't necessarily try to create an alternate personality as occurs with the Luo Vessel of the Liver, instead they may refuse to get in touch with their "spiritual selves." They may refuse to work on their issues or face their traumas and disappointments. They may engage in excessive control in their lives and that of others. Where the Lung Luo causes a person to excessively engage with something that isn't working in their lives, the Heart Luo causes a person to retreat and reject: to shut down and disengage. They refuse to talk about the issue, and feel a victim. The Lung Luo is a vessel of excessive engagement; the Heart Luo is a vessel of denial and disengagement.
I recently treated a young man who was very emotionally shut down. It was difficult to get to the root trauma that had caused him to close up so strongly, but one day he revealed he'd gone through a devastating breakup from a "toxic," abusive relationship. He felt he'd never enter into another relationship again. He said bluntly he didn't want to be that close to anyone again, and refused to discuss it any further. He'd come to me complaining of insomnia, agitation, anxiety and occasional chest pain. Any time I tried to engage him into talking about his past relationship he'd begin cancelling sessions and delay his return to treatment. He was a man who maintained very strong control over his life and who he let into it. This included his interaction with me as his acupuncturist.
With minimal discussion I began treating his Heart Luo Vessel with moxibustion (a gentle warming technique) to bring back his willingness to engage with himself, with the source of his heart pain and with me. I didn't force him or even insist. I just treated the acupuncture points, for several sessions.
During the same period I treated a woman who had also ended a difficult relationship. She exhibited signs and symptoms of the Lung's Luo Vessel, unable to let go of the relationship and the obsession it held over her. Even though she and her partner hadn't spoken or seen one another in over a year, she was still acting as if they were still together. She'd track his movements, who he was with, where he was going, what he was doing. She said she thought about him practically every moment of the day, almost more than she thought about herself. She'd constantly fantasized about getting back together.
When I'd ask her to describe the relationship she'd share many moments that were abusive and painful. They would fight a lot, engage in constant power struggle and even come to blows sometimes. Yet she said, she'd never loved someone the way she loved her partner. She'd become utterly attached, and even obsessed with him. She was stuck in the "palace of toil." The breakup was very traumatic for her she said, and she was unable to move on and let go. She'd alternate between having "hot hands": needing to be very social and especially very engaged in following her ex-partner's life; alternatively she'd fall into states of depression where she didn't seem to care about anything, as if her life no longer had any meaning or "fire" in it.
The Luo Vessels themselves are very strong. When treated, they can cause a change in consciousness. However it is common to therapeutically support a Luo Vessel with either other Luo Vessels that are adding complications to the issue, or add points along the Primary Channels to support the healthy physiology and ultimate cultivation of virtues associated with the issue.
Confucian philosophy says within every emotional "poison" lies the seeds of virtue. Transformation of the "poisons" (trauma, fixation, obsession, fear, anger, sadness) into the virtues (benevolence, compassion, faith, piety, awe, etc) is the goal of the internal organs and their associated (Primary) acupuncture channels. The Luo Vessels can be seen as holding the raw material for the transformation of poison into virtue. However it is the physiological capacity of the organs and Primary Channels that allows this alchemical process to occur. The relationship between the Luo and Primary Channels is therefore the alchemy of healing and spiritual growth.
For the young woman discussed above, the use of the Spleen's Luo Vessel (SP-4 "Grandfather-Grandson") was often used to help her move through the obsession and habituation she'd developed concerning her ex-partner. The name of SP-4 suggests that any issue from a person's current life that generates a tremendous amount of obsession can often be complicated by a deeper, more primary trauma that occurred earlier in one's life, often relating to the family or ancestry.
Several acupuncture points along the Primary Channel of the Spleen helped this young lady metabolize her experiences so she could transform the obsession into wisdom, and the habituation into the ability to be more present. SP-16 "Abdominal Lament" and SP-13 "Abdominal Bind" were especially potent in helping her to become more present with her sadness and sense of loss so she could fully feel it, process it and eventually begin to let it go. These points helped her "stomach" the reality of the situation and transform and move its pain. The Spleen has a very close relationship with Lungs, connecting at the point LU-1 "Central Treasury," where material from the mind can be released. That which was fermenting in her gut, and therefore her mind, was broken down and made softer by the two Spleen points so it could rise into the Lungs and diffuse back out into the air.
The points LU-3 "Celestial Palace" and LU-4 "White Knight" were also helpful to this young lady, giving her the capacity to see her situation from a more spiritual point of view, to develop the courage to let go of the past and trust that there will be more life and happiness for her in the future.
The man discussed above benefited from adding the Luo Vessel of the Triple Heater (an endocrine-associated channel/organ) and that of the Kidneys. TH-5 "Outer Gate" helped soften his stubbornness and stance that he was indifferent; KI-4 "Great Bell" addressed the evident fear underlying his choice to "shut down" his emotions.
Amongst the Primary Channel points that were helpful for this man were TH-1 "Barrier to Destiny" helping to awaken awareness that his denial of his past and feelings were developing a barrier between himself and his spirit path. The Kidney points on his chest, especially KI-22 "Walking Along the Gallery" were helpful to spark his spirit so he could gain the will and desire to open back to his spirit path in life and share his heart with others.

Microsoft Studios
The Xbox One plays host to a number of great shooters and racers. But it also features a collection of top-tier fighters.
Ever since it invaded living rooms back in 2013, Microsoft's console has done a fine job of keeping fighting game fans satiated. Well known franchises such as Mortal Kombat, Dead or Alive, and Tekken are available on the home console. Plus the console exclusive revival of Killer Instinct morphed into one of the best fighters of the current console generation. The list you'll read below features those top notch picks and a host of other quality fighters that offer a high replay value.
Pick up your arcade stick, find a friend who's just as good as you, and go to war in the best Xbox One fighting games.

Where were you when the news of a new Killer Instinct hit the web back in 2013? It had been a while since fans of Jago, Orchid, and Fulgore got to see them in action. Once the Xbox One became a reality, Rare's classic brawler rose like a phoenix. Killer Instinct has grown to become the go-to fighter for Microsoft's baby – a number of top development teams fine tuned its flashy combo-based gameplay and added to its extensive mode suite. You'll never grow tired of hearing the match commentator damn near lose his voice as you finish off foes with an Ultra Combo. The massive roster took three seasons to build to completion. Killer Instinct has a character for everyone, so pick up those sticks and get to work!

Mortal Kombat XL
NetherRealm Studios
Developer: NetherRealm Studios
Publisher: Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment
Ed Boon and the fine developers at NetherRealm Studios may have created gory perfection with Mortal Kombat X. In its base form, there was already a ton of content to busy yourself with. Once this blood and guts fueled fighter ballooned to include even more characters, it transformed into the excellent Mortal Kombat XL. Just look at the full lineup of extra characters this special edition comes packaged with – Goro, Jason Voorhees, Predator, Tremor, Tanya, Bo' Rai Cho, Triborg, Leatherface, and Alien. Consider all that with the game being in its most balanced form and you get Mortal Kombat's best effort to date.

The DC Universe got flipped onto its head when its heroes and villains did battle in Injustice: Gods Among Us. With a roster full of recognizable and lesser known DC characters, the game attracted comic book fanatics and non-fans alike. The ante was most definitely upped with an amazing sequel. While a few beloved roster members have gone missing, they've been replaced with worthy combatants such as Brainiac, Robin, and Black Canary. The guest characters (YOU CAN PLAY WITH THE NINJA TURTLES!) are worth the price of admission alone! Thankfully, the tightly tuned combat, epic story mode, and gear accruement mechanics will give you enough reason to hop into Injustice 2's heroic duels.

The complaints lobbied against MVCI are legit – it looks…off, the roster pales in comparison to UMVC3's, and the story mode was lamented by those who played through it. Even with all those issues, the gameplay itself is still a complete joy. The return of the Infinity Stones and the newly added ability to tag in your partner whenever you please makes this entry the best playing version of "Mahvel!" yet. Don't judge this superhero vs. gaming icons book by its lackluster cover – it offers an immensely rewarding combat system and a few great DLC characters that make MVCI a diamond in the rough.

Developer: Arc System Works
Publisher: Bandai Namco Entertainment
Past attempts at producing a 2D fighter based on the beam blasting battles of Dragon Ball Z were passable at best. It may have taken forever and a day, but Arc System works finally got the formula right. Dragon Ball FighterZ replicates the craziest battles of the anime via 3v3 team brawls, flashy super moves, and a wealth of clever Easter Eggs. All those Super Saiyans, androids, and human Dragon Ball icons look amazing as they physically bash each other relentlessly and send their opponents through nearby buildings. From the looks of things, this crisp looking 2D fighter will grow even more powerful once additional modes, characters, and balance adjustments come down the pipeline. Dragon Ball FighterZ is your quintessential anime fighter.

Kazuya and Heihachi's family feud ends here. Tekken 7 is the ultimate finale between the stalwarts of the Mishima Clan. Their battle atop a erupting volcano is the definition of hype! Luckily, they're not the only ones taking out their frustrations on each other. Familiar faces from series' past make their comeback, plus some surprising guest characters enter The King of the Iron Fist Tournament. The brand new battle mechanics look amazing in action and the slow-mo endings to close matches never grows tiresome. If you're in the mood to play hard hitting 3D fighter, Tekken 7 should be at the top of your list.

Developers: Capcom, Eighting
At one point, fans found out that the Marvel vs. Capcom partnership folded. But when news of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite actually came true, we also found out that "Ultimate" version of the last game will come to the Xbox One. The best version of the third entry in the Vs. crossover series is still worth delving into. If you miss the thought of playing with Deadpool, Phoenix Wright, and plenty of X-Men characters, then going back to enjoy some UMVC3 madness is a viable option. The gameplay remains as chaotic as ever and all of the past costume DLC has come included with this re-release. The 3v3 team wars that took over the EVO tourney for years is still relevant and enjoyable.

Competing in the Octagon is an intimidating endeavor. It takes several hours of training, fight hype, and dedication towards raising one's stock to make it in the UFC.

Dead or Alive 5 went through a few changes before it reached its Last Round. It first hit the Xbox 360 in its most basic form, got updated with an Ultimate edition, and then made its way over to arcades. This third and final update is the one that's held onto its fanbase's attention for the longest time. It also happens to be the Dead or Alive game that's captured casual fans interest the most. Dead or Alive 5 Last Round comes as a free download, but anyone who's looking to get the game's full gamut of content needs to cop the full edition. The roster has ballooned to a max offering of 32 characters with guest spots given to Ninja Gaiden, Virtua Fighter, Fatal Fury, and Samurai Warriors veterans. With such a huge cast to select from, a crazy collection of DLC costumes, and the DOA gameplay that fans know and love in place, Last Round is definitely worth a download.

The dedicated Naruto fanbase have been treated to some solid game adaptations since the manga/anime landed in the States. Japanese game development studio CyberConnect2 are responsible for creating the best fighters featuring the lethal ninjas that clash within the Naruto universe. Their Ultimate Ninja Storm series reached a satisfactory conclusion with the Road to Boruto DLC update added to the fourth (and final) entry. Bandai Namco saw fit to celebrate the entire franchise by offering up all four games with its DLC goodies with this HD collection. As far as arena battles go, the Ultimate Ninja Storm games are up there with the very best. And it does an incredible job of recreating the every climactic moment of the long-running anime. If you missed out on this series before, now's the perfect time to bask in all its ninjutsu glory.

The BlazBlue plot has gotten more epic (and complicated) as more updated entries have been released. An even more refined rendition of the Chrono Phantasma update ended up being the first time the series landed on the Xbox One. If you've been following the story of Arc System Works' anime fighter up until this point, then you'll get a kick out of the new plot threads featured here. Along with new tales to actively participate in, you'll grow to love the roster additions of Celica A. Mercury and Lambda-11. The continued character balancing, changes to existing modes, and presence of previously released DLC "extends" this entry's replay value even more.

Developer: Capcom, Digital Eclipse
The Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection provides an accessible method for those looking to play retro Street Fighter games on current-gen consoles. The most admirable portion of that winning formula is the (thankfully) working online suite for four of the included games. While it's admirable that Capcom and developer Digital Eclipse brought over 12 arcade-perfect ports, it's still a bummer to see that some of the best home ports aren't included. Street Fighter's refined gameplay mechanics have managed to stand the test of time and get better with each successive update and sequel. This compilation offers a playable explanation as to why Capcom's most popular fighting game series still remains relevant and beloved to today's crop of gamers.

Developer: Project Soul
Project Soul has finally returned to fine form with the introduction of Soulcalibur VI. The full slate of single-player content is enjoyable, the combat looks and feels superior to past entries, the music is as grand as ever, and the character creation feature is a fun time sink that's highly addictive. There's definitely a list of issues that knock it down a few pegs, though. Keeping a series favorite locked behind a paywall is bothersome, plus there's not enough new characters in place for this sequel. Plus the character creation feature is lacking in a few areas. Hopefully, these issues see some kind of improvement in the future. Even with all these problems present, Soulcalibur VI still maintains its position as an incredible 3D fighter that does right by its hardcore fanbase. The soul burns once more…

Team Ninja has definitely taken notes on how to improve its fighting game franchise. The climactic close-up camera shots, new use of meter, and crowd-pleasing maneuvers make their way from other fighters into this sequel. Their implementation fits in perfectly with the franchise's already tight combat mechanics. The high visual fidelity, nice offering of single-player/multiplayer modes, and strong character customization feature all provide a ton of replay value for this high-octane fighter. Even with the lack of a tag team mode and the issues present in how costume pattern parts are utilized, Dead or Alive 6 still stands as the most refreshing entry in the series.

Developer: SNK Corporation
Publisher: Athlon Games
SNK has an admirable of great job of giving Samurai Shodown the franchise revival it so richly deserves. The visual splendor, satisfying soundtrack, worthwhile launch day roster and a nice offering of offline/online modes are the game's biggest strengths. While it features one of the more intimidating fighting game systems in recent memory, learning the in's and out's of Samurai Shodown is immensely rewarding. As far as fighting game reboots go, Samurai Shodown does a great job of pleasing its loyal fanbase and featuring new mechanics that change it for the better.

The starter spring on a McCulloch string trimmer rides on the inside of the recoil pulley. This spring attaches to the pull rope so when you withdraw the rope, the spring automatically retracts the rope when you let go. This spring can be damaged from pulling on the rope too hard or it can just wear out over time. Regardless, without this spring working properly, you will not be able to start your McCulloch string trimmer's engine.
Undo the two screws holding the throttle cover in place over the throttle trigger, which are next to the trigger. Undo the screw on the side of the trigger and remove the trigger cover and trigger. Loosen the throttle wire's bolt and disconnect the throttle wire from the throttle trigger.
Undo the top screw that sits just above the throttle's protective sleeve. Separate the shaft from the rest of the engine by gently pulling it away from the body.
Undo the four screws holding the starter housing in place on the engine. Remove the starter housing cover. Some McCulloch trimmers may have an additional four screws holding the housing cover to the frame of the engine; remove them also.
Pull the housing cover away from the engine. Undo the recoil pulley and starter spring's retaining screw, which is on the underside of the pulley. Remove the pulley and starter spring from the housing cover.
Withdraw about eight inches of rope from off the pulley. Twist the rope into a loop. Pinch and hold the loop in your fingers where the two ropes cross. Hold the pulley in your other hand and rotate the loop back and forth to free the spring from the rope.
Pull the old starter spring from the recoil pulley using your thumbnail. Push the new starter spring into the centre of the recoil pulley. Form the same loop in the rope and repeat the process to reset the tension on the rope.
Screw the recoil pulley and starter spring back to the starter housing cover. Set the housing cover back in place over the engine. Tighten the cover's four retaining screws with the screwdriver. Connect the shaft to the engine and tighten the shaft's locking screw.
Reconnect the throttle wire to the throttle trigger. Reassemble the trigger sleeve cover and throttle cover and tighten its two screws.
