Suburban rear door handle replacement?
Hey guys. yesterday while trying to fix my heater control issue.. i yanked my rear passenger door to hard thinking it was iced over but it was locked.. and snap.. and now the door wont stay latched at all! the little hook tooth that grabs onto the bar on the inside of the door frame seems awfully loose. Took the door panel off and investigated and all the rod's are connected and doing their job.. so my next question is. boy oh boy how hard is it to replace that latch assembly.. it looked pretty tight just looking at things :( but its an issue of while driving my door flying open haha
01-06-2011, 12:27 PM #2It could be dirty or frozen. Keep a towel handy, then spray the latch with brake parts cleaner. Work the latch a few times, close and open the door, then follow up with a light lube. I like white lithium cuz it won't run off, but just a little of your favorite brand will do the trick.
You said snap - did the handle break, too?

01-07-2011, 07:46 AM #3Thanks for the reply. tried it and now its stuck closed which is fine for me so i can get it to my buddies shop without having to bungee the door closed on the inside LOL. What a B*&^H it is getting those door panels off.
01-07-2011, 04:27 PM #4Well, sorry to hear all that. Those latches are pretty durable, and the problem is usually crud or alignment - I hope it works it out. Was the hook latch loose, or the whole assembly? I hope you didn't call me too many bad names...
Those panels are a treat, aren't they? There is a door panel tool available that makes it easier to pop those off. I was given mine, so I don't know how much they are. If you get into those doors alot, it's worth the aggrevation you'll save!

01-13-2011, 05:14 AM #5Ah turned out to be the whole door latch assembly Long story short. Got it to the shop, so i didn't get charged for labor he stood that and walked me through it.. The thing crumbled into a bunch of pieces which for now remain in the bottom of the door lol. Shes working like a charm now. those door puller things are great i used one and it came off lickety split. the hard part was the trim around the handle lol but all in all i spent 2 hours tops and 30 dollars to fix. not bad.

On the other hand, Mullins has had one rejected, no doubt drawing the attention of Herd punt-rushers.
Marshall coach Doc Holliday took note of the plays against Ohio State, knowing his former boss Urban Meyer is running the show in Columbus.
"I've been with Urban a long time, and I don't think he's ever had a punt blocked and an onside kick against him in the same game," Holliday said.
Opponents have allowed UAB to return only 24 of 61 kickoffs, with Jackie Williams and Adams averaging nearly 23 yards per return.
The Blazers sit in the middle of the NCAA pack, but that could rise - especially if they receive the second-half kickoff, as MU's previous nine foes have done. Including that touchdown scored by Central Florida's Quincy McDuffie, the average starting position for Herd opponents has been the 381/2-yard line.
Earlier this week, Holliday acknowledged the problem of selecting the right personnel for special teams. The pool of speed and talent has dropped, as players with injuries sit out and those with lesser aches are saved for their position duties. One absence that still hurts: Evan McKelvey's anterior cruciate ligament tear back in September, suffered on a kickoff.
"You start getting some guys banged up and that's where it gets you," Holliday said. "You have guys that have not played special teams, and you have three corners that are usually on special teams but aren't on there because they're not practicing. That's where it shows up and we have to get better players in that area, too."
A major example: Kevin Grooms made two tackles against Memphis, one saving a touchdown on the 52-yard return to start the second half. Fellow running back Steward Butler had a tackle.
"When you have guys go down, you have to get athletes in there. You're going to see Stew and you're going to see Grooms," Holliday said. "Schematically, it's not an issue."

Media Release 25-Feb-2009
Asia's finest destination resort boosts tourism to Phuket with up to 100,000 complimentary rooms
In a bold move to stimulate tourism to Phuket, Laguna Resorts & Hotels Public Company Limited in cooperation with the Tourism Authority of Thailand announces the launch of the "100,000 Smiles in Laguna Phuket" promotion: an eye-catching global marketing initiative whereby six Laguna Phuket hotels will offer up to 100,000 complimentary room nights in an attempt to reverse the slowdown in tourist arrivals to the holiday island of Phuket.
"It seems incredible to offer this many room nights," says Laguna Resorts & Hotels' Managing Director, Mr Michael Ayling, "But guests simply book online at their preferred hotel's web site to take advantage of the one free night offer for every paid booking. Our somewhat daring initiative coincides with the launch of our redesigned Laguna Phuket website and will help drive traffic to the new site, as well as generating bookings for the upcoming low season. We are very pleased to be working with the Tourism Authority of Thailand to promote this campaign worldwide to ensure that potential visitors are aware of the amazing value and experiences Laguna Phuket has to offer".
TAT Governor, Ms Phornsiri Manoharn is lending the Tourism Authority of Thailand's full support to the Laguna Phuket campaign. She said, "This campaign is in collaboration with the 'Amazing Thailand Amazing Value' initiative which aims to encourage tourism in Thailand. We will help to promote this particular campaign through TAT worldwide offices and our website which we have already implemented a mini website called Thailandsuperdeal.com. We applaud Laguna's bold incentive to attract visitors to the Kingdom. In these challenging times everyone in Thailand's tourism industry must work hard together and help each other to restore our declining tourism numbers. We really hope that this promotion brings 100,000 smiling faces to visit Thailand".

Delta Airline and Oversized bags
Would like to know what you all think. Going on my third trip in a couple days. Have always done the hard bow case before and of course it goes to the police station in the J-burg airport and you play the waiting game. Never really had any major problems just the wait and having to go somewhere else. I know of alot of guy that use the rolling duffles and put there bows in them and they just come out on the carousel and off they go. Decided to try that this year. My bow is 42" long so my options were limited as far as rolling duffles go. Ended up getting 2 44" coleman mammoth rolling duffles. Weight isn't an issues is as both my wifes and mine are at around 45#. Deltas policy is that your bag can't be over 62 linear inches. These are 44"x 15"x 15" so I'm 12" over. Are they going to notice? I know it also depends on who checks you in. Kind of the luck of the draw. If they do call me on it do I then admit it's archery equipment. There policy says archery equipment must be in a durable protective container. Doesn't specifically say hard case. My duffle is ripstop nylon and I have padded the inside so imo this would qualify. Really don't want to get hit with a $175 oversize fee x 2 there and back. What do you think?

Not sure what to say? I guess they do overlook the gun cases being over the 62 inches. So they probably will over look the bow cases too. And since you are going as a couple you are probably going to get better service. You aren't over by much on the size...so my guess is you will be fine.
Have a great trip and post some pictures and stories when you get back.

Bonafide rifle cases seem to get a pass at the airport. Mine is over the 62" mark as well, an old SafTCase, and they dont give a second look. On a side note, I managed to get all the way to Joberg before a small scissors got noticed in my carry-on! They couldnt figure out what it was and waved me thru again! I put them in my checked for the trip home from Zim.

For future reference to any member traveling with a bow case to SA....
I have and SKB hard sided, double bow case. Mine also exceeds Delta's demensions by 12-14"... I've been to Jo'burg 4 times all with Delta... Never had an issue, and never been given a second look. Just make sure you declare the contents as archery equipment when you check in on this side. Some agents don't even know their own policy, and are not able to tell the difference between the gun/bow cases. You don't want them mis-marking your case as a firearm. It may end up in the firearms office in Jo'burg, and then you may have a hassle getting it out.
Also, your bow case will not come out at baggage claim on the main carousel. It will come out at the irregular/fragile baggage door located in the rear corner of the baggage claim area. If you have trouble locating it, you can ask an official airport information agent. There are usually always several of them floating around. ...
Delta charged me $75 each way last trip. Better ask first...

Using the Yahoo Search API with Perl
Following in the footsteps of Google, Amazon, and eBay, Yahoo recently introduced a web service API to its search engine. In this month's column, we look at three Perl scripts that can help you correct typos, view other people's vacation pictures, and track those long lost pals from school.
It is quite common for an Internet service to provide a Web API. Developers use the Web API to integrate the Internet service with their own applications. Yahoo just released a REST (Representational State Transfer) interface to its search infrastructure. REST basically lets an application send a URL and get XML back. Of course, there is also a new Yahoo::Search Perl module to match; the module is available from CPAN and was developed by regex guru Jeffrey Friedl. Yahoo::Search makes it easy to search for documents, images, videos, and many other things. HTTP access and XML extraction are hidden behind simple calls to methods. If you intend to write an application, you need to register to get your own application ID. You will be allowed to issue 5,000 calls per day to the services mentioned in this article. To register at [2], you will need your own Yahoo ID, which you can get in exchange for a valid email address. You'll also have to agree to Yahoo's Privacy Statement; make sure to read it carefully.

Michigan freshman guard Spike Albrecht entered the title game a perfect 6-for-6 from beyond the arc in the tournament. Even so, anyone that claims they predicted what happened in the first half is lying.
Anything Spike can do, Louisville junior Luke Hancock can do better.
Four-consecutive 3-balls later and Hancock had pulled the Cardinals within a point. Thirty seconds after that, Louisville freshman Montrezl Harrell put the Georgia Dome into a tizzy with a monstrous dunk and suddenly Albrecht's hard work was erased.
CBS play-by-play announcer Clark Kellogg made ears bleed across the nation Monday night, screaming into his headset at every opportunity — of which there were many.
Unfortunately for Michigan, the first-team All-American was only on the floor for 26 minutes.

MinuteHound's new time clock and software feature the latest cloud computing technology as well as mobile and instant e-mail notifications.
New York, NY (PRWEB) February 11, 2014
MinuteHound's automated time clock has changed the way that industries can keep track of their employee's attendance. The biometric fingerprint technology ensures that only the employee needing to clock-in or out can do so by themselves. They no longer can have others clock-in or out for them. The fingerprint time attendance machine will scan the employee's fingerprint to keep track of the time they are working. Companies can have updated reports at any time to see who is on the clock and who is not.
This technology out-beats any competition for it ensures that companies will no longer have to lose money they didn't expect to pay. For example, employees will no longer be able to get unapproved overtime. Managers will be able to seek out the employees that are taking advantage of the time clock, and they can work with them individually to ensure they no longer take advantage of the system.
MinuteHound's time clock system is easy to install. The fingerprint reader can be installed any where the company wants it to be. It comes with a 6ft USB cord that will hook the reader up to any nearby computer. Once the system is hooked up to the computer, it is ready to use. The employees can choose any finger that they want to use in order to clock-in or out of the system. The system uses a 128-bit encryption to transfer the data so that the employees don't have to worry about their fingerprint being in the system indefinitely.
Managers will be able to set the system up to send them emails or text messages any time an employee clocks-in or out late. This will ensure the employee can be worked with if they start abusing the system. The managers will be able to have updated reports at any time, day or night, of the employees working. The managers do not have to be on site to get the reports either. They can simply access the time clock system reports from any where that has an internet connection. This helps the managers out that need to know what is going on with their time clock system while they are away on a business trip or vacation.
MinuteHound's automated time clock system is perfect for any company no matter the number of employees they have. The system will only cost the company pennies a day to use it. They will pay a fee to have the system and a monthly fee for the time they use the system. The monthly fee amount will be based on the number of employees the company has that will be using the time clock system to clock-in and out on. There are no obligations, risks, or contracts to use MinuteHound's time clock system.

What is wrong with this?
This question is usually posed as the length of the diagonal of a unit square. You start going from one corner to the opposite one following the perimeter and observe the length is 2, then take shorter and shorter stair-steps and the length is 2 but your path approaches the diagonal. So $\sqrt{2}=2$ In both cases, you are approaching the area but not the path length. You can make this more rigorous by breaking into increments and following the proof of the Riemann sum. The difference in area between the two curves goes nicely to zero, but the difference in arc length stays constant. Edit: making the square more explicit. Imagine dividing the diagonal into n segments and a stairstep approximation. Each triangle is $(\frac{1}{n},\frac{1}{n},\frac{\sqrt{2}}{n})$. So the area between the stairsteps and the diagonal is $n \frac{1}{n^2}$ which converges to 0. The path length is $n \frac{2}{n}$, which converges even more nicely to 2. |
This problem illustrates the fact that two functions can be very close: $|f(x)-g(x)|<\epsilon$ for all $x\in [0,1]$, but their derivatives can still be far apart, $|f'(x)-g'(x)|>c$ for some constant $c>0$. In our case, let $x=a(t),y=b(t),0\le t\le 1$ and $x=c(t),y=d(t), 0\le t\le 1$ be the parametrizations of the two curves. By smoothing the corners, we may assume that both are smooth. $$ \|(a(t),b(t))\|\approx \|(c(t),d(t))\|$$ does not imply $$ \|(a'(t),b'(t))\|\approx \|(c'(t),d'(t))\|$$ Therefore $\int_0^1 \|(a'(t),b'(t))\| dt$ need not be close to $\int_0^1 \|(c'(t),d'(t))\| dt.$ Here $\|(x,y)\|$ denotes $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$. |
The pithy expression for this "paradox" is as follows: let $x_n(t)$ be a sequence of parameterized curves which converges uniformly to a limit curve $x(t)$. Then it need not be the case that the arclengths of $x_n(t)$ approach the arclength of $x(t)$. [Added after seeing TCL's answer: it is also true that uniform convergence of a sequence of functions does not imply convergence of their derivatives. See Section 3 here for some discussion of this. As TCL points out, since arclength elements are computed using derivatives, the observation about derivatives may be in some sense more fundamental. In other words, I think I like TCL's answer better than mine.] As Ross Millikan points out, this is more familiarly shown by approximating the hypotenuse of a right triangle by a staircase pattern of horizontal and vertical line segments. I still remember being a senior in high school and having a friend (whom I had had no prior mathematical interactions with) show this to me. I definitely remember thinking that it was not paradoxical but certainly surprising. (And I have mathematically respected this person ever since, even though I haven't seen her since I was a teenager.) Added much later: if you think about the phenomenon physically rather than geometrically, it seems to me that the surprise disappears. For instance, suppose I'm running and you're driving a motorcycle. It is possible for your speed at every instant to be 25 times (say) faster than mine while maintaining a very small distance from me: e.g. you could drive very small, very fast circles around me. |
Hilarious! Of course, the circumference is not approximated by the sum of lengths of the lines constructed as shown, but by the sum of the hypotenuses of each of the right-angle triangles formed around the edge of the circle (forming a polygon with vertices on the circle). |
Fundamentally, that you have jumped in without a definition of the length of a arc. |
I am probably going a little off-topic with these comments, so feel free to downvote :) In my opinion this type of proof emphasizes why it is wrong to teach/take "Calculus" instead of Analysis. For most of the nice applications of integration, we always use the following approach: take some quantity/expression, break it in many pieces, identify the sum of many pieces as a Riemann sum, and thus our quantity is the limit of the Riemann sums, thus the corresponding integral… Unfortunately, except in serious Analysis courses, not even once do we go into the subtle details: why is the Riemann sum a good approximation for our quantity, namely why does the error in our approximation go to zero… Most students who take Calculus end up "understanding" lots of false results, which we don't have the time to disprove in general: any derivative is continuous, any approximation that looks good is good, … To come back to this problem, not all approximations that look good are good. We always MUST prove that the errors in our approximations go to zero. And for all the formulas we "prove" in calculus, there is an actual mathematical proof, which is pretty technical (and most non-mathematicians would say boring and stupid, but then without such proofs one cannot really understand why the "proof" from the above picture is wrong). But without going through the formal proofs, one cannot truly understand why that particular approximation works in that case, and more importantly why a different approximation won't work. Coming back to the above picture, one way to understand it is the following: we approximate the circle by a sequence of polygons. Let $c_n$ be the length of the $n$th polygon and $c$ be the length of the circle. At each step the error in our approximation is $4-\pi$, which doesn't go to zero. This means that the arclength of the circle might not be the limit of arclengths of the polygons. The only thing we can conclude is that, if all the quantities and limits that appear in the picture exist, then the limit approximates the arclength of the circle with an error of at most the limsup of the errors. In other words, $4 \approx \pi$ with an error less than or equal to $4-\pi$. Hmm, what is wrong with this? |
R.I.P. ArchimedesA photogenic answer to such a question! |
(non-rigorous:) This is simply another example of why the "limit of the sum" is not the "sum of the limit." (Length of curves are a subset of Sums/Integrals which are really the same thing in my mind. If you like, in this case "the limit of the lengths of the curves " is not the "length of the limit curve") |
This is an old chestnut, and is usually given in the form mentioned by Ross Millikan in his answer, just as he says. The concise answer is that topological convergence does not imply convergence in measure. Once you have this correct big picture in your head, the problem disappears. The detailed analysis, such as supplied by Ross Millikan, is just the closing argument for a case already won. Thus, the real purpose of this problem is to bring to the attention of the student the distinction between topological convergence and convergence in measure. As a bonus, this problem (in the "diagonal of a unit square" version) shows why wiggly coastlines are preferred, in regard to sea-faring vessels: Such coastlines provide much more opportunities for docking/harboring. edit (18.Dec.2011 Taiyuan China): I suppose that this conundrum can appear in quite a number of forms. One such other form is what we might call the "helicopter paradox", namely, that if you double the length of the helicopter rotor, but halve its speed, you obtain the same lift, and, if you're not careful, you also obtain the false conclusion that a rotor of infinite length not rotating would exert the same lift on the helicopter as a normal rotor. The solution to this enigma ("What is the lift of an infinite helicopter rotor at rest?") is that the convergence alluded to in the statement of the problem is merely topological convergence, but the conclusion of convergence-in-measure is, fallaciously, being drawn from this. A presentation of this conundrum, as a purported "thought experiment" is given at the following link, where there seems to be no hint that the proposer is aware of its real solution: |
(non rigorous) If you repeat the process a million times it "seems" (visually) that the perimeter approaches in length to the circumference, but if you magnify the picture of a single "tooth" to full screen, you will notice a big difference from the orthogonal segments and the arc of the circumference. No matter how many times you repeat the process that difference will never fade. ADDED: A visual example of what I meant is folding of a rope. If you imagine the rope not having thickness, you can fold it so many times that you can tend to a point (zero length?). If you unfold it, it will return to its original shape. In the example the perimeter will always be of total length = 4, but it only appears to blend with the circumference. |
Correct answer: Nothing is wrong with this, as long as your space is defined using a Manhattan metric. Normal Euclidean space is defined using a Euclidean metric. |
Ah, the old engineer vs mathematician thought process. Place an engineer and a mathematician at one end of a room. At the other end is a beautiful woman. At each "step", they can each move half of the remaining distance between their current position and the woman. The mathematician will say you'll never reach her. The engineer will say you can get close enough. This problem is similar. A unit square's outermost corners are being "bent" inward to touch a 1/2-unit circle until there are so many corners that the square is, at this zoom level, indistinguishable from the circle itself (similar to using rectangular pixels). Repeated "to infinity" the two shapes would have the same area. However, this process will never yield a mathematical circle; only an engineer's approximation ("close enough") This will always produce the same perimeter measurement even as the areas of the two shapes converge. If instead you were to measure around the hypotenuses as you iterated this shape definition, the perimeter WOULD begin to approach that of the circumference of the half-unit circle, $\pi$. The fallacy of the proof is illustrated if you consider the shape made by any two line segments that intersect at a point other than on the circle. These two lines will inscribe an arc length as they each intersect a different point on the circle. For simplicity, you can think of the resulting shape as a right triangle. The proof is basically claiming that the sum of the length of the two legs of that triangle is equal to the hypotenuse. This is never true, because the Pythagorean Theorem of $a^2+b^2=c^2$ never holds for any $a,b,c > 0$ where $a+b=c$. The only way it can work is for an $a$ or $b$ that is zero and thus the area of the shape is zero; this never happens in the construction being generated, at any interval, because by the definition of the construction we have two points that lie on the circle and one point lying outside the circle, and from geometry, any three non-colinear points will always inscribe a shape within a plane of non-zero area. |
What if the measurement we use, patterning it after a string wrapped around this circle, weaves back and forth? Essentially, we can find a series of connected line segments with length that total $1000000000$ and yet "hug" the circle very closely. A string analogy follows closely though line segments have width $0$ so we can fit arbitrarily many. This is why not just any reasoning about infinity will do. Mathematicians have developed well reasoned arguments and axioms that correlate well in many cases with reality (see also this argument). So the question of why doesn't $\pi = 4$ is best answered by asking, "Why should it?" We can just as well have used the ridiculous construction above to suggest $\pi =$ any number $> 3.15$. The approach we take to argue convincingly that the sum of the line segments approaches the "length of the curve" is to find sequences (from series partial sums) that match to functions (note the question example and the weaving example do not constitute a function because of its multiple values at a given "$x$") which have certain characteristics. For example we might use a lower and upper bounding pair of sequences that correspond to function values of line segment endpoints for such created polygons where one remains on one side of the curve and the other on the other side at all times and where these two sequences approach the same limiting value. We might use the Mean Value Theorem or related results to help prove our final answer. In any case, mathematicians leverage a convincing set of arguments and assumptions and don't just ad hoc throw a bunch of twisted string at a problem and claim the amount of string used proves the unprovable. |
The picture shows a sequence of curves $\gamma_n$ which approach (in what is called "uniform distance") the circumference of a circle $\gamma$. Then the picture says that the length of these curves is always the same: $\ell (\gamma_n) = 4$. If the function $\ell$ were a continuous function you would get the stated result: $$ 4 = \lim_{n\to \infty} \ell(\gamma_n) = \ell(\gamma) = \pi. $$ Unfortunately $\ell$ is not a continuous function, and this example is a proof of this fact. |

Palmer's situation is different and if I had my choice between Palmer and buttfumble, I'd take buttfumble"
