Dodge Ram Transmission Problems
gofastdk Posts: 1couple days ago, when i needed the trans to kick down it did not respond right away. shorty after on the next shift up it did not want to shift out of 3rd gear. the truck runs fine but seems to act up when i have to down shift. also note it has 170,000 miles on it with the original trans and motor. Most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. Have had it since new.
pdr1 Posts: 1hi well i guess i am not alone on this one. been reading the forums for some time now and haved used some of the input to attemp to cure this problem including changing three of the sensers in the pan and the thottle possion senser on the manafold. the fluid always apperd to be clean and used atf4+. got pretty discouraged. it sat 6 mounths. one day i had to move it out of the drive way it moved and i kept driving it seemed to be shifting ok. but at a stop it would rev up then slam into gear same with reverse. i noticed whent tryed to kick it down it did it but didnt have the old get up go it had before. possably slipping? didnt seem to over rev. talked to two trans shops there trying to leed me in to get it tested with posabble easy fixs. my question is there computer capable of singling out a spacific problem or does it just point toward the trans and at my expense play the trail and error game . both shops said worst case a rebuild at $3800 to$4100 eny help would be great thanks. PS IT HAS 102000 MILES
florida701 Posts: 1I have a 99 Ram and yesterday i was turning onto another road in drive and when i gave it gas it didnt go anywhere but if i put it in 1st and shift up in to 2 and drive as i go it will go into those gears but now its shaking real bad and my engine light came on. and its never done this before.any ideas on what could be causing this.
i would appreciate any suggestions. -
plumberpop Posts: 1I have drive and it shifts great in all the forward gears but when i put it R / N / and park it wants to pull forward but when i shut the truck off and just turn the key forward with the truck off the truck will roll back in N but when the truck is started it stops.I changed the filter and the atf4 fluid with no change. this day and age there is no $ for a new trans any help would be great.
gquandel Posts: 1I have a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500. my transmission problem is two-fold:
1. First issue is when I make LEFT hand turns (ONLY LEFT) my tranny pops out of gear and engine tak's out. I have to let off the gas and straighten out for it to get back in.
2. During moderate to heavy rains no matter which direction my travel, my tranny does the exact same thing...no matter how fast i am going.
I don't have any broken engine or tranny mounts. Fluids are ok.
HELP~ any suggestions??? -
cmeadows Posts: 5I have receintly talked to our local Dodge Ram Service Tech about my transmission shifting hard and he said this is common with the diesels.
It dosen't mean there is anything wrong with the transmission. He says the 48RE are heavy duty transmissions and they will not slip like a gas truck transmission and will give you the impression they are shifting hard.
Thanks for your comments. -
thetypezero Posts: 1had exhaust tottaly redone. magnaflow high flow catalytic converter with down tubes. After driving it for a while i noticed my truck was running a bit warm parked it for about 30 minutes and i had to leave again. went to go in drive i got nothing no first gear no second no overdrive but reverse works fine. parked it. 3 hours later i decided to see if i can move .it drove fine. i noticed the downtubes are closer to the transmission then the stock ones were. and my radiator was hot i could feel the heat off it. have a new radiator and a new thermostat new hoses so im suspecting the downtubes are just adding extra heat. im installing a deeper transmission pan and a tru-cool transmission cooler rated up to 45,000 pounds and i am bypassing the radiator and just running the cooler do you think this will fix the problem? cause i can drive it right now until it starts to warm up and itll act up again. Transmission Rebuilt 2-3 years ago been running fine till i got the truck out of the muffler shop and took it home
ramman5 Posts: 2I lost the clutch on a 2005 Ram 2500 at 55,000 miles. The dealer first replaced the hydraulics and no change so they said the pressure plate had collapsed. No marks of abuse, overheating, checking or excessive wear. Clutch plate is over 60%.
Replaced clutch, pressure plate and bearings now the clutch pedal seems to be one third of the effort to press in. I am attempting to force Dodge to admit a defective pressure plate but as everyone knows I am fighting a brick wall! Any help or ideas will be a major asset in my battle! -

makinja Posts: 1Yesterday my -06 cummins ram with 95000 miles blew out tiny hose between tubes which come from tranny to cooler and oil come to road. I notice it when the clucth starts to slip? I fix the hose and add oil but now it doesnt go to overdrive, just like oryxman tell above. Does it have some serious broblems?
Thanks for great forum -

dojynn Posts: 1I have 2005 Dually 3500 5.9l I-6 w/ auto trans. When i am stopped at a light i need to apply extra brake pressure as the truck wants to go forward. As i release the brake ( no trottle applied the truck revs for a second and then seems to be normal. Same thing happens when i am stopped in drive, 2nd, 1st, or rev. When i shift from any gear to neutral ( while stopped) the truck revs increas to about 1800 rpm for a second then returns to normal rpm ( this is with out any throttle applied). When i shift back to any gear it wants to go again and i need to stand on the breaks. I need to get this resolved before it snows or i can't see it being safe to drive this vehicle. Any thoughts as to what it might be before i take it in?
On a side note, the trans. was just serviced last month, flushed and bands adjusted.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -
cstarr Posts: 12002 Ram 1500 4X4-
A few months ago noticed that intermittenly, taking off from a stop, not shifted down into low gear. Changed fluid and filter when it become more common problem. That seamed to solve it for about a month then it began happening again. Now most of the time.
Truck runs great if manually shifted from low. Fluid is still clean and no other problems with transmission (no slipping) or motor. Took to shop for code read and no motor or transmission codes. They suggested two possibilities: 1 electronics need replaced and 2 the catalytic converter might be stopped up (two different guys suggested this). Before I get going on something, has anyone had this problem and/or suggestion/experience on fixing it?
Thanks! -
KCRam Mt. Arlington NJPosts: 3,516I have the exact same truck... and I've not experienced this at all. If this started after the transmission service, then something was not done correctly, or the system as not tested after they buttoned everything back up.
Check to see if you have any trouble codes: with the engine off, cycle the ignition key like this On (not Start)-Off-On-Off-On - then watch your odometer for codes. I'm guessing a sensor is out of whack.

nukeem Posts: 2Hi, First time posting here (great info everywhere too), but I still have some questions. OK, Picked up another Dodge Ram 1500 4X4 5.9(360) automatic w/OD for $1,000 yesterday. Anyway, the truck does absolutely nothing when shifted into reverse but runs and shifts good though all 4 forward gears with a little slippage when accelerating hard in first gear only. The truck has 189,000 miles and suspect its just worn out but will start going through things today. Any suggestions on what to do? Fuild/filter change? Additives? I have always drove Dodge trucks since the mid 80s and all are manual trannys, this is my first automatic. Is it cheaper to get a rebuilt tranny or rebuild/have rebuilt?
The owner said it it will not go into 4X4 mode, read up on the actuator so will be checking that today also. Is it possible that no reverse and no 4X4 are both a bad vacuum problem and related?
It also has a check engine light on so I will get that code read out today too. Idle is a little rough but smooth power under acceleration.
Sorry for all the question, Thanks for any help!

dbark10809 Posts: 1Recently my transmission has been slipping when cold, when going into low, when just starting from a stop with the brake on, after driving 10 minutes everything is fine. Also if I put it into park at stop sign, then put into drive it runs fine. It feels like what ever is supposed to let you idle with the brake on while in drive is not working when the truck is cold. Any suggestions?
ff6196 Posts: 2Ok,, I tried to get an answer here and no response. It was probably because I was new here.
Anyway, I took my 2500 to a Cottman Transmission and they said "it's slipping and there is metal on the stick, also said the scanner would not communicate!! All of which was bull!! I am not totally ignorant when it comes to dodge rams! I have been the owner operator of a repair shop for over 15 years and I have owned 5, I was in Phoenix buying 2 more to bring back to Mass.
Sorry for going on,, long story made short. If there is no pieces in the pan change the Governor Solenoid part #4617210 $120.00 and Transduce part #56028196AD $71.25. Used a good grade of ATF+4, Walmart sells Mopar brand for $4.50 something a quart. That should do it
By the way I drove mine 2700 miles back to Mass. towing a Ram 1500. Absolutely no problems with the trans.!! DON'T TRUST COTTMANS!!
Good Luck -
pontiacfb69 Posts: 1I have an 01 dodge ram 2500 4wd 140K with the cummins and an auto tranny. I have always noticed that when its parked for a day or more when i first start it up and put it in D it barely will go under its own power. Any ideas on this? I also have noticed lately that it feels like my parking brake is on. The engine revs up just fine but the truck really lags in movement. The really odd part is, is that it only does this sometimes. It doesnt matter warm or cold. Sometimes i just shut down the truck fire it up again and its fine. Any clues to this? I have heard of other people having the same problem and replacing a governor and another part in the tranny and it fixing the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
nukeem Posts: 2Ok update time, I added a can of Seafoam tranny flush then drove it about 30 minutes. I dropped the tranny pan, the old tranny fluid looked black like old motor oil and smelled really bad. Filter was black with sludge. Magnet in the pan was covered was with what appeared like black grease but would have to be metal particles. I adjusted the reverse band. I had to turn the pusher screw in the center about 20 turns before it started engaging so I could torque it to 72 in lbs, then backed it off 2 7/8 turns and then locked down the lock nut. I refilled with Valvoline ATF+4 Full Synthetic fluid and a bottle of LubeGuard tranny fluid protectant(rated #1). Anyway, it will spin the tires easily on pavement in reverse now! WooHoo. It still seems to slip from a stop in 1st gear only. Any ideas?
Hope this may help someone,

CGBear Posts: 602 Ram 1500 w/3.7 v-6 90,000 miles. Full trans. service with Valvoline ATF+4 synthetic 900 miles ago. Shifts a bit hard when cold, but doesn't slip. Quite the opposite actually. As I come to a stop the truck acts like you're trying to stop a manual without pushing the clutch in. It kills the engine every time. Once you get it good and warmed up after about 15 minutes of driving it improves. Cold weather has made it worse though. I'll be going to Murray's auto to borrow their code scanner tomorrow to see if anything pops up. I've got no idea what to do about a transmission that "grabs" too much.
Please help!
Thanks for your time,

swiftdb2 Posts: 1I have much of the same problems with my truck
I have a 1999 Ram 1500 4x4 with an automatic. Tranny slips occasionally on left hand turns (only left) and sometimes after sitting for awhile it is very sluggish and doesn't want to move. Sometimes it will just rev freely before slowly taking the power. Worse when cold.
Any ideas? I've changed the fluid and filter but really no change. The only thing that stops the slipping on left hand turns is the Lucas tranny conditioner, but it always comes back.
I'm thinking of selling the truck as it's just a spare now. I was also thinking of taking it to a tranny shop before I do this.
Thanks -
CGBear Posts: 6Added a qt. of trans fluid and some Lucas trans additive and she works just like new. If I check the trans fluid while running in park it read full. Check the trans in neutral it had a zero reading. I read here somewhere that dodge trans do not start pumping fluid in park, but do in R,N,D,2,and 1.

Arizona Cardinals
Whisenhunt on job status: 'I control what I can control'
If Ken Whisenhunt's proverbial coaching seat was only lukewarm heading into Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks, it's certainly been notched up a few degrees after the Arizona Cardinals suffered their worst loss in franchise history, 58-0.
The organization hasn't been shy about letting go of a head coach following an embarrassing defeat. After Arizona was routed 48-7 by the Dallas Cowboys back in October 2000, team president Bill Bidwill and general manager Bob Ferguson fired head coach Vince Tobin a day later and replaced him with defensive coordinator Dave McGinnis.
While Whisenhunt didn't suffer the same fate Monday, he was asked about his job status and the relationship he has with team management.
"I've talked to Michael [Bidwill] every day," Whisenhunt said. "We talk about all kinds of things. You know I control what I can control.
"Like I said, I understand this business and I have a job to do. I feel disappointed we haven't done it."
With their loss on Sunday, the Cardinals have now been eliminated from postseason contention for the third consecutive year. And while Whisenhunt built up plenty of goodwill within the organization after leading the Cardinals to back-to-back division titles in 2008 and 2009, that seems like an afterthought these days in the midst of a nine-game losing streak.
Although it would be easy for the Cardinals coach to deflect the negative attention he and his woeful team have garnered around the Valley in recent weeks, Whisenhunt admitted Monday that the fans deserve better.
"My greatest disappointment is for our fans," said Whisenhunt. "They've been so good to me and to us. I feel like I've let them down from not being able to do what we wanted to do."
After the 2012 season, Whisenhunt still has one year remaining on his current contract for $5.5 million.
In 93 games as Arizona's head coach, Whisenhunt is 44-49.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Well, I am about to pop my extract brewing cherry. I started off with Coopers kit's and perfected those pretty fast. I have had some friends try my beers and they have offered to buy beer off me if I can make a typical North American beer like budweiser/labatt blue clone. First I have some questions, I have looked into extract brewing, maybe buying a kit for my first one. From all the video's I've seen on youtube, you steep grains, then add the ingredients during your boil. Now, on all the Budweiser clones that I look at on the Internet, none of them say anything about steeping grains, all of the ingredients include just malt extract, rice power etc, are there no grains for doing a bud clone? Sorry if this sounds stupid, I just like to do all my research before I dive into this. I am kind of a perfectionist when it comes to learning I have to know everything before I attempt a process or I get confused. The great thing about this, I live in the same city as the Labatt brewery in Canada, in fact we use the same water source. I am going to go on a brewery tour and maybe ask some questions to how they treat the water, like if they de-chlorinate or what, maybe I can get the same water taste! Thanks for the help!
Beer prices in Ontario Canada 24 Bottles for $28.89..........That's the DISCOUNT brand!
That's probably more of an indictment on Bud that you don't need to steep grains to clone it. I'd tell my friends to save their money and buy the real thing and leave you to brewing quality beers.
Seriously.... Take a bottle...pee in it...cap it and hand it back to them. Cheers!
folgen Sie die Reinheitsgebot oder die Deutschen reinheit gesetz? ***No longer have time to keep up with all my batches***
Hey I wasn't saying that I was a big fan of it! But since I'm laid off I've been going crazy and I have a 25 gallon tank just sitting there empty, If I can make them happy by saving a few bucks, and put a few bucks in my pocket by saving money, I'd be pretty satisfied!
"Never mind Doc, he's drunk." - Wyatt Earp "Nonsense, I've not yet begun to defile myself." - Doc Holliday
Steeping grains generally add color and character to beer. Most north american lagers are light on color and flavor and hops. Nothing wrong with a lighter beer, but it's also one of the hardest beers for a beginner to try to clone. Any off flavor will stand out in such a light beer, and you're also probably going to have trouble maintaining steady lagering temps for extended periods. You're also probably going to have to deal with liquid yeasts & learning how to make a healthy starter. Most homebrewers will tell you to aim higher and brew a more full & robust beer. You'll have more flavor & a better chance of success. I'd suggest a tried & true blonde ale - light in color - but more of a medium flavor with character. Check out the recipe section for something like Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde.
Skip the Bud clones (lagers) and do a Blond Ale or a California Common. Still get the light easy drinking beer without the hassle of a lager.
If they are really, really insistent that they want it to be ****ty, there's this: If you want to try and trick them into drinking something that is flavorless instead of having a metallic/sour aftertaste (quite an upgrade if you ask me), try this: I see either as kind of a waste to brew though.

So all these private companies that engage in supplying the Tax Payer funded end products like ships, planes, submarines, are going to be hit with certain "cuts" with their "little people" that build these things either losing jobs or seeing a increase in their taxes. And the small private businesses that cater to these "little people" (like dry cleaners, restaurants,car dealers,home improvement box stores, clothing stores, auto repair shops etc,) are going to see less demand from all the "little people" losing their livelyhood from that sector forcing them to lay off some of their "little people" who in turn affect even more "private enterprises" who also see less "little people" buying their products. It looks to me the pin action goes on forever on this hit on "little people". I've always headed out to Virginia when I wanted to build Naval Vessels or Mississippi. Both Northrop Grumman and Ingles depend on the United States taxpayer to fund these expensive vessels. But a lot of the steel, paint, pipe, and cable come from other "private enterprises" in other "red states". GE supplies the the engines, Arizona has General Dynamics, the Boeing Co, and several other "private defense manufacturing companies" supply components that will have to "cut" their "little people". Funny how many "little people" in "red states" and "private businesses" are going to be affected when the wealthy refuse to fund defense programs and instead demand "cuts" in federal spending. That's a lot of "little people" not attending sporting events manned by wealthy sports stars. lot's of "little people" not buying cds or going to concerts. Lot's of little people not buying anything they don't absolutely need not by choice or greed but because they have to remain solvent to eat, pay rent and in short survive. It certainly looks like small private businesses better worry less about tax increases than the lack of patrons that they depend on to make their living. On the refinery front................less demand for energy.
MB may be more receptive to more concise and less frequent expression of your thoughts on matters political.
The ongoing inane rantings of the board "progressive" Lunatic!
I don't think so pound. I doubted a minority, a black man, was even electable to the highest office in the land once, let alone twice. It just shows you how radical this "new progressive" republican agenda you support has become. It's a great departure from republican policies of the past and people don't like it......................no matter how much special interest and lobbiest money isput up to peddle it. It's today's most important topic and affects this stock and stocks in general more than any other subject save maybe the debt ceiling fight...........coming up early in the new year.
I don't think so pound. I truly didn't believe a black man was "electable" even once, let alone twice. That alone should tell you how insane the "new progressive" but radical to the core republican agendas have become. It's a insane departure from the republican leadership in the past century and the gig is up. When your new elected leaders are still screaming for "cuts" in red states after the new year and defense has taken it's (mandated by previous republican leadership cut's in defense) then I guess the seniors get their turn. Cut social security to the bone.........but only in the red states that are still screaming for "cuts". But make sure all the "defense cuts" are made in the states that want them (the red states) and are in fact screaming for them through the representatives in congress they elected to serve them!

A model of uncertainty reduction theory was tested that was derived from Berger and Calabrese's (1975) theory of initial interactions and recent extensions of the theory (e.g., Berger, 1979; Berger & Bradac, 1982) across three relationships (acquaintances, friends, and dates) in three cultures: Japan, Korea, and the United States. The model was tested using LISREL and found to be a reasonable fit to the data for all three relationships in all three cultures. The percentage of variance explained in attributional confidence was found to be lower for friends than for dates and acquaintances. For the United States data more variance was explained in attributional confidence in acquaintances than dates; however, the findings were reverse for the Japanese and Korean data. These findings were discussed in light of previous research on uncertainty reduction theory and relationship development. Shortcomings of the model also were pointed out based on early critiques of the theory (e.g., Bochner, 1978) and a recent elaboration that examined the context in which romantic relationships develop (Parks & Adelman, 1983).

Horsley, Anthony and Wrobel, Andrew J. (2001) Continuity of the equilibrium price density and its uses in peak-load pricing. TE, 417. Suntory and Toyota International Centres for Economics and Related Disciplines, London School of Economics and Political Science, London, UK.
Download (643Kb) | Preview |
With L∞ as the commodity space, the equilibrium price density is shown to be a continuous function of the commodity characteristics. The result is based on symmetry ideas from the Hardy-Littlewood-Pólya theory of rearrangements; and it includes, but is not limited to, the case of symmetric (rearrangement-invariant) production costs and additively separable consumer utility. For continuous-time peak-load pricing of, e.g., electricity, this allows the inclusion of storage and of cross-price dependent demands. In this context a continuously varying price has two uses. First, it excludes the demand jumps that arise from discontinuous switches from one price rate to another. Second, in the operation and valuation of hydroelectric and pumped-storage plants (studied elsewhere), price continuity guarantees that their capacities (viz., the reservoir and the converter), the energy stocks and, in the case of hydro also the river flows, have well-defined marginal values.

I'm rating this for my boyfriend. He always complained about the lip balms I got for him being too glossy and he wouldn't wear it. That's when I remembered this formula is completely non-greasy or glossy. Perfect for men. I bought him the eucalyptus mint one! He gives it 4 lippies.

Its a really good lipbalm, but a bit expensive. I live in Australia and one of these tubes can cost up to 8 dollars. When you apply it, it can feel a bit waxy, and it has a cool sensation. It definetly keeps my lips moisturised for a long period of time. I like that it doesnt have a fragrance and it does not have a tint either.
I would probably repurchase it, if it was cheaper.

This is ok. Very similar to chapstick and similar waxier balms -- initially soothing with a non-greasy finish, but my lips start to dry out and flake after several days of use. That said, it does seem to be slightly more moisturizing than chapstick.

Perfect! I have been looking for a nourishing, effective lip balm that really works for a while. There were some good products out there like NIVEA lip butter but they all left this gloss on my lips or made them shiny, pale or feel waxy. This is a perfectly, natural, conditioning balm that leaves your lips plump and nourished with a matte finish! IT REALLY WORKS
PS: I should point out that the peppermint in the lip balm leaves your lips tingling (in a nice way)

Totally unisex - men should get on this, it's matte (not shiny) and has a bright mint scent. Why aren't more lip products mint scented? What an obvious idea!
Cheap, can be bought anywhere and lasts, for me, almost half a year. I apply it everytime I lay down to sleep (no matter the season,) and I take a lot of naps so a tube lasts a lot! I never have any lip problems like cracks or dryness.
It makes your lips feel cool and tingly when you apply it, it's very refreshing. I love this product and have been using it for probably 8ish years now.

No soaking, no shucking and "cooks" in minutes on the grill. Starts in the microwave
My Private Note
- 1Place corn completely untouched in the microwave for a 1 1/2 minutes per ear. Take it out and wrap in aluminum foil, twisting the ends to seal. Place on grill for 10-15 minutes or however long your meat cooks. Remove from grill and allow to cool in the foil while putting all your other food on the table. Divide the silks in half, split and shuck the corn. For some reason, after steaming, the silks just peel right off!

Smalma, What would you expect a plunker's incidental kill rate to be on wild fish? Compared to the selective gear section during the season in question on the Skagit? Knowing that a plunker is umpteen times more effective at catching fish over my chosen methods and they are approx. 500 to 1500 times more likely to mortally kill that wild fish for release...should we let the fox guard the hen house? Or does leadership make the right decision. Say thanks for your interest and insight to your points. We appreciate it however this is the direction we must take for the best overall conservation of fishing privilege while limiting population impacts considering our current stock status. That way everybody gets to play the game. Unfortunately I have had enough poor experiences with several 'wildcatters' on the Clearwater during it's C&R season that it has spoiled the whole barrel. The only reason for any of their proposals is to 'stick it to the fly guys'. Oh well. Once the threatened/endangered status takes effect NOBODY will get to play on the Skagit/Sauk/Sky anymore anyway (wild steelhead wise). William
i still believe a solution is to open specific rivers with low to no wild escapement to any thing goes fishing. those specific rivers would be fronted by mega hatcheries and paid for with a 'kill' license issued by WDFW. rivers which have the potential for wild steelhead propogating on their own, would have ZERO hatchery fish and be managed as C&R exclusively with single barbless hooks, specific tackle beyond that is not too relevant. these rivers would be paid for, that would be stepped up enforcement as no hatcheries are involved, by a 'no kill' license issued by WDFW. seperation of folks by what their expectations might be regarding fishing would seem the most desirable solution for a problem that won't go away. it would be farily obvious is poaching was occurring and since an enhanced enforcement patrol would be a part of our licensing, pretty expedient to deal with.

I have been working at Supermedia full-time (more than 3 years)
Established company. Has many customers that have been using their advertising products for over 10 consecutive years or more.
Company closes at Christmas time and doesn't open again until after New Years.
You can make decent money if you're good at up-selling your current client base that is given to you. (Decent if your single, without any major debt obligations)
Unrealistic new customer acquisition goals. They only want 1 new customer sold each week, but in the Irving office. I was one of the top 20% of new customer sales and I was not hitting that objective.
Management is old and not up with the times. They are teaching old sales tactics and other than helping their outside sales by giving them IPads to look more "sexy" that's about all the help they have done to catch up with the times.
Product fulfillment is TERRIBLE!!! This has probably got to be the worst. Whether you sell a web site, a pay per click package, or a social media package...the fulfillment makes the customer very irritated. This is because fulfillment is slow, and more often than not something is done wrong and to get their problem resolved takes at least a week if not more.
They change their compensation plan a lot. They changed it 9 times in my 4 years there. Crazy right? Most of the time it didn't really effect how much money I was making, however 1 comp plan change helped me make more money actually, but depending on how they change it would mean you have to make changes on how you're doing this. I put this as a con, because changing the way I make money so often is not a good thing.
Out with the old and in with the new. I have seen young sales managers with much more impressive sales teams out perform the old timers both on inside and outside sales. Both of those young sales managers are now gone...There was a reason those young sales managers were succeeding, it's because they weren't relying on old tactics to succeed, they were always thinking outside the box and consistently looking for ways to improve. In summary - Quit keeping people around just cause they have been with the company for 20-30 years. They are not beneficial anymore nor do they have the drive and creativity of the 25-35 year olds you let go off to other companies.

Christian Indifference and Romans 13
Submitted by onesquarelight on Sun, 09/23/2012 - 20:34As a Christian I often have to be sure that my political ideologies jive with my faith. Recently I've been confronted with Romans 13.
1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
After several weeks of research and soul searching I decided to take this topic head on. Anyone who is interested in a strong Bible based defense of the liberty movement is invited to read, Christian Indifference and Romans 13
Additionally check out Chuck Baldwin's article: ROMANS 13 REVISITED http://www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin494.htm
I think he actually has a book on the topic.

The damnation would come from the Government Not God.
Now in 2008, the Christians were praying very hard that the best man would win. So thereby God had Obama win. I believe God did not want McCain cause McCain wanted to bomb Iran. ("Bomb,bomb , bomb Iran").
Now the Christians are again praying real hard for the best man to win. I think for 2008, Obama was the best pick of those possible. God does not make mistakes. From everything I read and hear on TV, it sounds like Obama, though not a saint, is the one that is less greedy, less war like, smarter, cares more about the poor and downtrodden, and is better suited for the job to lead the USA. But God will put a stop to any ruler that goes too far, as he did with King Nebachanezzer. Still, if God wants Romney and thinks Romney is best for our time, Romney will win. If God prefers say Gary Johnson and thinks he is the best man, God can move mountains and make it happen.

My understanding is that it's
My understanding is that it's up to us to either follow God's instructions or not. God told the Israelites not to have a king. He gave them all the reasons why having a king was a bad idea. Yet, ultimately they chose a king over God. Following your logic, based on the outcome, a King must have been what was best for the Israelites since God allowed it happen. That really doesn't make sense does it?
Taken to it's logical end, you seem to be saying, there is no point to being politically active. God will ultimately bring about those things which he chooses. All we can do is get in his way.
When things happen (Romney becomes president/Obama wins) it would seem to me that God is not endorsing the winner, as you suggest, Rather, he's allowing us to screw everything up.

In Case You'd Been Keeping Score
Here is the world's most boring use of a high school marching band for self-indulgent "rock'n'roll" purposes.
Did You Know? -Booth, Lincoln Edition
Abraham Lincoln's only surviving son, Robert Todd, fell on the train tracks in Jersey City in 1863.
He was pulled up to safety by John Wilkes Booth's older brother, Edwin.
Edwin was known as one of the world's greatest Shakespearean actors, and was the son of Junius Brutus Booth, another famous actor in his day (and an alcoholic). A statue is dedicated to him in Gramercy Park, NYC.
Robert Todd Lincoln was present at two other Presidential assassinations, but was asleep in bed the night his father was shot by John Wilkes Booth. He was present for Garfield's assassination at the Sixth Street Train Station in Washington, D.C. by Charles J. Guiteau on July 2, 1881, at McKinley's assassination at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York where the President was shot by Leon F. Czolgosz on September 6, 1901.
The night President Lincoln was murdered at Ford's Theater, he and Mary Todd were accompanied by Henry Rathbone, a military officer, and his new fiancée, Clara Harris. When Booth shot Lincoln, Rathbone made an attempt to stop his fleeing, but failed. He was stabbed several times by Booth before he jumped from the box to the stage and made his escape, despite a broken leg.
For years, Rathbone was haunted by –and in some circles, blamed for– Booth's escape and resulting two week attempt at hiding. He recovered from his wounds, married Harris, and they had three children. He never mentally recovered, though, and in 1883 murdered his wife, and attempted to murder his three children as well. He was institutionalized and died in 1911.
His son, Henry Riggs Rathbone, went on to become a Republican Congressman from Illinois, Lincoln's home state.
This information is readily available via Wiki, etc. but I've just put it all together after reading Sarah Vowell's Assassination Vacation.

Nick Lowe, Party of One
We went to see Nick Lowe on Friday night, happily paying the $22 door fee to gain entrance.
Lowe, in case you aren't aware, recently re-released his classic Jesus of Cool, and is touring to support it, as well as his most recent release, At My Age. As a friend noted, if you're out, with grey hair, supporting a record called At My Age, you might not be a sure bet for a Friday night rock-a-thon, but we were pleasantly surprised.
I wasn't familiar with the new record, but I've listened to it since Friday and have to say … I can't think of many guys Lowe's age still touring and writing that sound so good. His voice has matured so well, and his occasional dips into soul, country and R&B really showcase his range and tone. His voice is really just a beautiful thing to listen to, and I'm not sure the earlier records ever really intimated that to me as clearly as his performance.
Obviously I'm a big fan of Jesus of Cool, but he reintroduced me to one that I hadn't heard in a long while – Party of One. I revisited it this weekend and really wanted to share a couple tunes from it with you.
If he comes through your town, I highly recommend you paying the ticket price to go: the crowd will be kind of weird, but you'll enjoy it. Here's a sampling of some Lowe songs, from Jesus of Cool and Party of One, enjoy!
Nick Lowe "I Don't Know Why You Keep My On"
Nick Lowe "Little Hitler"
Nick Lowe "So It Goes"
Nick Lowe "What's Shakin' On the Hill"

As the parent of a diagnosed Asperger's child, I try to do due diligence keeping up with research, trends and philosophies about treatment and education. Though my son is on the low end of the spectrum and diagnosed young, I sympathize greatly with people like Jonathan Mitchell, an adult living with autism. He's a fantastic writer, by the way, his stories are quite moving (most revolved around themes of alienation, not surprisingly). What caught my eye on his site, however, was a piece he wrote against neurodiversity.
Neurodiversity: an idea that asserts that atypical (neurodivergent) neurological development is a normal human difference that is to be tolerated and respected as any other human difference. The concept of neurodiversity is embraced by some autistic individuals and people with related conditions, who believe that autism is not a disorder, but a part of their identity, so that curing autistic people would be the same as destroying their original personalities.
Mitchell has this to say:
The neurodiverse are not dissimilar to Christian Missionaries who go out and try to convert lost souls. They can often reach a vulnerable audience as many persons on the spectrum have been disaffected from society. They feel worthless and have low self-esteem and neurodiversity provides a tempting escape valve. The same is true for parents of sometimes severely autistic children who want to see their offspring as something other than deficient or broken. Some of these parents themselves end up deciding they themselves are on the spectrum out of the clear blue sky well into adulthood, though sometimes diagnosed by a clinician at least allegedly. The problem is, the autism is still there, the problems are still there.

You're a Class Act, Boston
If you're a Red Sox fan, you already know who Bill Buckner is. If you don't, you probably heard about him if you ever asked a fan what the big deal about 1986 was. For those of us able to revisit the sad series as adults who know the game, it's easy to get misty-eyed feeling sorry for the guy: to blame an entire season on one guy's mistake is a reactionary, awful thing, and Buckner has lived with it since 1986. This year, however, the Red Sox showed real class, welcoming him home to throw out the first pitch, the fans presenting him with an incredibly emotional five minute standing ovation.

Newsreader Logic, Getting Things Done
I totally agree with this.
I subscribe to way more in my newsreader (Net News Wire Lite) than I could ever possible read, but I enjoy the little gems I stumble on because of it. When I first started using a reader years ago (probably 2003?), I kept a very 43Folders-friendly attitude about it, only subscribing to sites I felt I couldn't live without. For some reason, I felt stress when I looked at my reader and it told me I had hundreds of unread posts. Why did I ever feel that obligation? Freeing myself of that, and learning to use the newsreader as an aggregator of items of possible interest instead of a chore list has made my down time and browsing time much more enjoyable.
Now, one area that I will evanglize for in terms of pruning and careful aggregation is the email inbox. There are several wonderful articles about the izero inbox strategy, which urges you to stop using your email inbox as a to-do list.
Clearly, the problem of email overload is taking a toll on all our time, productivity, and sanity, mainly because most of us lack a cohesive system for processing our messages and converting them into appropriate actions as quickly as possible.
Take action on your emails immediately, even if it's just to assign them an action in iGTD, and keep the clutter out of your email – it reduces stress and supports a better workflow. Realizing that one of my biggest problems at work (and one of the most regular causes of stress) was a result of using my inbox as a to-do list was a total epiphany for me, but there is absolutely no reason to treat a newsreader with the same philosophy: we should subscribe to anything we find interesting, isn't that the beauty of the vast web of intrigue on the web?
The New Year
I stumbled across some great news this morning catching up with Frank at Chromewaves. One of my favorite Touch & Go bands, The New Year (formerly, essentially Bedhead) have finished recording their new album.
According to their MySpace, it's due sometime in September, and a tour will follow.
The brothers Kadane (Matt and Bubba) are going to tease us a little bit, though: they're scheduled to play a handful of shows with Bottomless Pit (more on them from me here), which is essentially Silkworm. This is … huge.
Bedhead and Silkworm were both hugely influential to me as a young listener in the '90s, and I am seriously considering finding a way to make it to one of these shows … it will require a plane ticket, though. No dates are set in Texas. If you live in the Midwest, go see them and let me know what I missed?
Yewknee pinged me for this, so hold on tight (should you be ready and willing to accept a few notes on my boring life)! 4 Things Extravaganza (hopefully to be followed soon by the iTunes meme).
4 Jobs I've Had
- Window girl at 1 hour photo processing stand. The stand was one of those small boxes in the middle of a parking lot, enabling people to drive through for one hour film developing. Though I started out at the drive through booth in the Piggly Wiggly parking lot in Arkansas, I quickly advanced to more behind the scenes jobs. Before long, I was at the "real" location, in an actual building, working in a darkroom. It was a good job for a 17 year old, and I learned quite a bit about old-school film processing. I really wish I'd stuck with that through college … there was a darkroom on campus but I never got around to using it. Being able to manually control the development of my photographs was probably the first thing I did that revealed any innate creative compulsion towards art in me.
- Cashier, Disc Jockey. This job was in high school, before the photo store gig. The CD store was in the mall in Hot Springs, and I worked part time after school sophomore and junior year. Can you imagine that? Working in a mall CD store in Hot Springs in the early '90s? We had the tall CD packaging back then (I tried to Google image search for an example, but apparently it's so arcane no one even has photos of them), and the weird plastic handled tape cases. Yes, tapes. Cassette singles, even. My manager was a disgruntled gay man "stuck" in Hot Springs (more precise: stuck living in his parents' basement). I only stole from there once, and most of the money was used to drive to Ft. Smith to see this vegan straight edge kid I was dating at the time.
- Childcare provider/ babysitter During college, I followed up on some nanny experience I'd gained during a year off in Philadelphia to make extra money babysitting for one of my professors. His adopted daughter was high on the autism spectrum, and I learned a lot about the condition through her. She was amazing, and I continued to be her pen pal for years after I graduated. That job took on a lot of new and important significance for me after my son was diagnosed with Asperger's last year.
- Web Producer, public radio My current job is pretty awesome — I oversee web development, content, do all the editing and new media / design work at the NPR affiliate station's site here in Austin. Love it.
4 TV Shows I'm Watching
- Like Michael, I'm pretty much hooked on LOST & Breaking Bad. Both are great, but I think the writing on "Breaking Bad" is absolutely brilliant. You'll never look at Malcolm (in the Middle's) dad the same way again.
- Almost anything on the History channel
- Talk Soup. Joel McHale is hilarious. I don't care.
- I don't really watch enough tv to pick four
4 Places I've Been
- Mannheim, Germany. Lived there for a while, southern Germany is kind of depressing.
- Portland, Oregon. I was born in Portland, moved to Texas as a kindergarten student.
- Philadelphia, PA. As alluded to earlier, I took a year off between high school and college in Philly, fell out of love, got on a bus to go home, lost most of my record collection. All ended up well — he dated an old friend of mine after that, which was awesome. Not.
- Boston, MA. I lived in Boston twice: once as a law student and once as a new mother. The new mother experience (in East Boston) was much more fun. My third week of law school included 9/11, a ridiculous job and a creepy landlord.
4 Music Artists I'm Listening to Right Now
- Shining (Oslo, Norway)
- Steve Young (the old stuff) – not the football player.
- Monotonix (Tel Aviv): they're coming for SXSW, and I hope I can catch them!
- Shearwater (Austin): the new record is awesome. Duh.
Flashing Lights
I've been arguing that the music video is dead for a long time. I think party of my issue has been the way in which indie artists end up bound into these situations. We grew up on Mtv, huge rock bands, and even the decidedly rebellious acts of our youth (I'm thinking mostly of Fugazi) seemed like gigantic superstars. What's the first thing you do after you make a record? Choose a single. What next? Make a video for the single. After that? Go on tour. It's like a 12 sided die with built-in instructions. And since independent record labels don't give a shit if you have a video or not, most bands pony up the money themselves, or split the cost with the label. Unless you have visionary friends, oodles of cash or a heart-stopping live act that's been recorded by professionals, your video is probably going to be embarrassingly low budget, include some kind of lame joke or just plain self-indulgent and boring.
Hip hop videos might be self-indulgent, but they are typically fun. They might also be characterized as sexually obscene. That being said, it's probably the case that I've been wrong about music videos, since the more I say that they're dead, the more regularly I watch one that's just plain good. Spike Jonze's co-direction of Kanye West's "Flashing Lights" is definitely one that is good, and I'd love to write about it, had several others not already taken on the effort, much better than I could. Do watch it.
The first article I read about it was over at clapclap, where Mike B. offered a short essay on the piece, which led me to No Trivia. Mike B.'s take on the "reveal" employed combined with Brandon's exposition regarding women, body types, sexism, revenge and nightmares made me realize just how wrong I've been about video. There's a lot left to be done in terms of style and design, and perhaps the best part about this video is that it is completely the centerpiece to the experience … the song exists in a plane with it, but isn't overbearing or dominating. We're allowed to listen and watch, and then quietly encouraged to watch again — but this time listen harder to understand what we're being shown. It's really brilliantly done, and mostly because it recognizes the distinction between the visual and aural, and stops trying to force one into the other, it just lets them breathe.

It is the policy of Tulane University in conjunction with the Office of the Environmental Health and Safety (OEHS) to provide employees with a safe and healthful work environment. The OSHA standard for Occupational Noise Exposure (29 CFR 1910.95) requires employers to provide employees with protection against the effects of noise exposure when sound levels exceed the Permissible Exposure Limit of 90 dBA as an 8-hour Time Weighted Average (TWA). Protective measures may be provided either through engineering or administrative controls. If these control measures fail to reduce the noise to within acceptable limits, personal protective equipment shall be provided and used. Participation in a Hearing Conservation Program is required when employee noise exposures equal or exceed the "action level" of 85 dBA as an 8-hour Time Weighted Average (TWA).
The goal of the Hearing Conservation Program is to protect employees from noise-induced hearing loss due to excessive and/or prolonged workplace exposure to hazardous noise (i.e., noise levels equal to or greater than 85 dBA). The program includes the following elements:

Tom Burlinson (born 14 February 1956 in Toronto, Ontario) is an Australian actor, singer, and TV host.[citation needed]
This section of a biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2013) |
Tom Burlinson was born in Toronto, Ontario on 14 February 1956 (St Valentine's Day). His English parents, Anthony T. Burlinson (born 1923, in Greenwich, Middlesex) and Angela Schofield (born 1927, in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk), had migrated to Canada after World War II. The family moved to New Jersey, United States in 1958. In 1962 the family moved to England due to his father's job and a young Burlinson took his North American accent to school. In 1965, his family moved again, this time to Australia. After six months his parents divorced and his mother and two younger sisters returned to England leaving Burlinson with his father and his older sister, Susan.[1]
Burlinson's first public appearance as an actor was as Colonel Pickering in Mosman Primary School's production of My Fair Lady. Moving to Bayview, he attended Pittwater High School on Sydney's Northern Beaches and was the school captain in his final year.[citation needed]
Burlinson's father wanted him to become a lawyer, but because a friend was accepted into the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA), he decided to audition and to his surprise he was accepted into the 1974 class, graduating in 1976. He started appearing on Australian TV in 1977. By the beginning of 1979, he began playing Mickey Pratt in the teen-oriented Australian soap opera The Restless Years, a role which lasted 16 months. In 1978, he appeared as Charlie in the Old Tote Theatre Company production of Da and as Jud Templeton in the play Tribute in 1979. In 1980, he played Hughie in the Anzac Day play The One Day Of The Year. He also featured in the TV police drama Cop Shop in 1980–81 and in Skyways.[citation needed]
In 1981, Burlinson had his career break when he was given the main role in the biggest Australian film production ever, which was to be shot the next year, The Man from Snowy River, as Jim Craig ("The Man"). He had only a few short weeks to learn how to ride a horse and make it look like he had been born in the saddle. He performed all of the stunts, including the iconic cliff ride.
Snowy River was filmed and released in Australia in 1982, quickly becoming the highest-grossing Australian film ever at that time. With a gross of $17 million, over 20 years later it remains the seventh highest grossing Australian film of all time, bringing Burlinson to stardom.
In his next film, Burlinson portrayed horse trainer Tommy Woodcock in Phar Lap: Heart of a Nation.[2] This film was another hit and confirmed Burlinson as a major star in the Australian film industry.
After these two films, Burlinson feared being typecast as an actor only in horse-themed movies. Other than the sequel to Snowy River, he vowed to avoid similarly themed films.
In 1985, Burlinson was cast by Dutch director Paul Verhoeven for a role in his first English-speaking film, the cult film Flesh+Blood.
In 1986, Burlinson played the main role as yuppy windsurfer in the main modern day comedy romance Windrider alongside teen actress Nicole Kidman in her first adult role. The film was a hit both in Australia and the United States.
In 1987, Burlinson was given his first role in a Hollywood film, The Time Guardian, in which he played the main role, Ballard, a visitor from another world, opposite Hollywood stars Dean Stockwell and Carrie Fisher. In 1988 he starred in the long-waited sequel to The Man from Snowy River II, which has the United States' title of Return to Snowy River and the UK title of The Untamed.
From then onwards, Burlinson focused on historical productions, including the highly acclaimed 1988 LWT mini-series Piece of Cake, set in England in 1939 and based on the 1983 novel of the same name by Derek Robinson and Showdown at Williams Creek, set in pioneer North America.
Apart from his film career, he is also a singer. Because a childhood obsession with Frank Sinatra led Burlinson to compose an ode to one of his favourite singers as he made the most of a 1990 appearance on Ray Martin's Midday Show to nervously debut his singing voice to the Australian public with "The Man In The Hat".[3]
Tina Sinatra used Burlinson's voice as the young Sinatra in a miniseries she was producing on her father's life. With new doors now open to him, Burlinson auditioned for several musicals.
Burlinson returned to the stage in How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying in 1992. He starred with some of Australia's most notable stage performers, Noel Ferrier, June Bronhill and Jackie Love. In 1996 he had stage roles with the Sydney Theatre Company. He starred as Franklin in Merrily We Roll Along and as Ricky in Miracle City.
In 1998, Burlinson created Frank, The Sinatra Story In Song which opened at the Seymour Centre in Sydney before going to other major cities. Sinatra himself died just two weeks before the opening night. From 1998 to 2003 Burlinson toured Australia regularly and also took the show to corporate events.
In 2001 the show's name was changed to Frank - A Life In Song due to the legalities of using the Sinatra name. In 2002 he took the show to his native Toronto.
Burlinson's versatility has also seen him appear on TV's Carols By Candlelight in 1999 and 2002. He had also had a role on ABC doctor drama GP and hosted Animal Hospital.
Burlinson provided Sinatra's singing voice in the 2003 Australian movie The Night We Called It a Day.[4]
Burlinson returned to the world of theatre in April 2004 in the lead role of Leo Bloom in Mel Brooks' musical The Producers. He co-starred with Reg Livermore, Bert Newton and Chloe Dallimore.
In 2007, it was announced that Burlinson was to become a judge on Australia's Got Talent alongside Red Symons and Dannii Minogue.[5] He remained on the show until its third season but was succeeded in its fourth by Kyle Sandilands and Brian McFadden.
