If the ESC was'nt vented properly the output FETs will short out thru the motor and battery , thats what almost happened to my ECO 8 HELI after landing, saw SMOKE and quickly released the 3S 6000 mah tp LIPO
modified canopy with cooling louvers on the side U must always provide adequate COOLING for the ESC in a HELI or plane some people here at the " RANCH" remove the shrink wrap and heatsink plate from the ESC and COOL the FETs naked in the open, makes it pass more CURRENT also when I did an autopsy on the JETI 40 amp , found a whole bank of FETs to the BL motor connector completely charred |

I am sorry about the looses.
This i a warning to everyone, never leave any energy without supervision.. There is a lot of energy in 15s2p pack. If I would guess, then internal fuse of one or more cells did activate and as they are causing short circuit to the subject cell, big voltage difference show up. Well, paralleled part was perhaps fully charged and ready to use its power, so, my quess is that huge currents may flown from one part of a pack into another. Tell me please, A123 cells used in this heli, they were in paper or in white foil? If a foil, or something that can not sustain high temperature, was the only separator between conductive cells, multiple short circuits between cell bodies may occur consequently. Second question please, each cell was paired to create 2p parallel packs, then build 15s series of that 2p units, or that was just two 15s packs connected into 2p parallel as whole packs? |

I wouldn't blame it on the A123 cells right off. Since no one witnessed it. The A123 cells have alot of power in them and in a 15s2p configuration that can be enough energy to cause what happened if the output of the pack is shorted. That kind of power can burn wires up and cause a fire without the cells going up in flames until the fire burns the cells.

I have took a brief look at the history posts of Peter.
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showp...3&postcount=44 Excuse me please, but I am sure that You would better search for much better charger, for all Lithium, even for nanophosphate A123, batteries. Well, I know that it is a serious problem, even if money do not matter.. Even worse, I have never seen a charger that would fulfill the safety needs, for such big packs and huge charge power. |

Man, what a shame, that was a nice looking heli. Just curious, how do the three rotor heads handle compared to the two? You`ll probably never know exactly what caused it. But if it was a shorted pack or wires, even packs much smaller than this are capable of melting some pretty healthy wires, and do it pretty quick too. Its amazing how much current these little batteries can produce. Be careful about throwing em around on the workbench with a bunch of screws and tools too, i melted a nicad pack i was building like that once.lol

Here's my code:
$authorizedRow = $('.authorizedRows').html()
source: "userlookup.cfm",
minLength: 3,
select: function(e, ui) {
$('.authorizedRows').last().append('<button class="deleteRow">x</button>');
$('#people').append('
' + $authorizedRow + '
').autocomplete( "option", "appendTo", "#name");
change: function(e, ui) {
if (a) {
//not used yet
So, what I'm trying to do is have this auto-complete on an input field, when a user selects it will autofill two other fields. These three fields (the name, phone, and email) are all contained in my authorizedRows div. It will append a button at the end of the 'last' authorizedRows div, then it will append a whole new authorizedRows div at the end of the 'people' div.
Where my problem is at is after the new row appends, the auto-complete will not work on the new name field in the new row. This is because the event-listener has not attached to the DOM element yet.
I tried to solve this by using the .autocomplete('option') on the people div selector, as you can see. It didn't work. Any ideas how I can get the auto-complete to work on my dynamically created field? Thanks.

If I asked you, do you want to be happy, you'd, of course, say yes. We all want to feel happiness, no exceptions. In fact, most of us spend a lifetime searching for meaning and happiness in our lives. Why do so many never get there? Why are so many unhappy? We are all accustomed to the idea that happiness is something that we need to pursue but, ironically, the more we chase after happiness, the further we are from it. Happiness cannot be pursued or chased, because it comes from within and is all a matter of how we think. True, money is important. Let's face it, we have to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table. But according to a recent study, after about $75,000 a year, money does not increase or decrease your level of happiness.
We have all heard people say things like, "I'll be happy when I get a better job" or "I'll be happy when I buy a bigger house," etc. I call this the I'll Be Happy When scenario. But what happens when you get that job and you're still not happy? What happens when you finally get that dream house and feel no happier? "Stuff" does not make you happy. It might bring you pleasure for a while, but it can't bring you true happiness. True happiness is a choice and a state of mind. In other words, it can never be bought.
I can remember when I was a little girl growing up with a disability (I was born with cerebral palsy and suffer from bilateral hearing loss)—there were many times when I looked in the mirror and didn't like that girl with the kinky hair and overbite looking back at me. It took me a long time to realize that the little girl I saw in the mirror was just a reflection of my mind. In other words, I was creating her by my own negative attitude. Life doesn't just happen. Life is a response to your way of thinking. Like Edgar Cayce said, our thoughts create our reality. Change your thinking; change your life.
As many of you know, Helen Keller was both blind and deaf, and yet she went on to graduate from college and become one of the 20th century's leading humanitarians. Keller once wrote, "I have for many years endeavored to make this vital truth clear; and still people marvel when I tell them that I am happy. They imagine that my limitations weigh heavily upon my spirit, and chain me to the rock of despair. Yet, it seems to me, happiness has very little to do with the senses. If we make up our minds that this is a drab and purposeless universe, it will be that, and nothing else. On the other hand, if we believe that the earth is ours, and that the sun and moon hang in the sky for our delight, there will be joy upon the hills and gladness in the fields because the artist in our souls glorifies creation. Surely, it gives dignity to life to believe that we are born into this world for noble ends, and that we have a higher destiny than can be accomplished within the narrow limits of this physical life."
Victor Frankl, a Holocaust survivor stated, "Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose." If you believe that life is defined by your circumstances, you will never rediscover the happiness within. Nothing will ever be enough, because you will always be searching for more.
I have both good and bad news. The bad news is our brains are actually prewired to pay more attention to negative experiences. It is part of our natural protective instinct or the body's fight or flight response. But the good news is positive thinking has been proved to literally change the makeup of the brain (a science called neuroplasticity).
One of the ways we do this is by repetition. We are how we think. Focusing on the positive stimulates the growth of nerve connections in the brain, which in turn leads to more positive thoughts.
As an author and motivational speaker, people always ask me, "How do you stay so positive?" Well, to be honest, being happy doesn't mean we are never unhappy. Let's face it, bad things happen. What it does mean, however, is that we acknowledge the bad but still choose the positive.

Ever the same,
Kevin J. Todeschi Executive Director and CEO
You and I have taken this journey before. We know all the traffic signals, all the landmarks. Once we set out on this path, we begin to remember each step. We see lighted passageways and familiar faces. We know that we have done this before. Departing on this trip should be like any other important leave-taking. It should be a comfortable, even a peaceful takeoff. And yet, facing death brings up many fears. Is this truly the end, or a new beginning? Is there a hell and is that where I'm headed? What about all the mistakes I've made? Can they be forgiven? Will I see anyone familiar or will I be all alone?
According to Edgar Cayce we don't die at all: we just leave one lifetime with its gains and losses and move to another realm to prepare for the next one. The soul never dies. The brain may die but consciousness continues. The truth of this is corroborated in many exciting stories of near-death experiences. Dr. Eben Alexander, a neurosurgeon, who has spoken here several times, tells the story of his own near-death experience. His book is entitled, "Proof of Heaven." If you have any doubts about the next world, read this book.
Dr. Alexander had believed that the brain is the beginning and the end of consciousness. After a severe case of meningitis he was pronounced dead. He could see his body on the bed, with the doctors and family members standing around, the life supports removed. His brain was dead and yet he was aware of all that was going on in that hospital room. How could that be? Then he found himself traveling in the beautiful life-after-death-mode. His story is inspiring and this experience completely changed his understanding of death, the brain, and consciousness.
A question was asked at his last conference here. "Did Edgar Cayce ever have a near-death experience?" There were serious accidents in Edgar's childhood when he might have had one, but I had seen Edgar Cayce go into his prayer/trance state and I was aware of his disciplined focus and complete offering to God of his body, mind, and spirit.
Hugh Lynn Cayce told my husband Harmon and me that every time his father gave a reading, he moved into a prayerful, focused state that was more like a death state than anything else.
When he was giving a reading, he was in the Spirit and it would have been very easy for him to leave his body for good: the threads between this life and the next were very delicate in this trance state and needed to be treated with the greatest respect and prayer. The vibrations around Edgar always needed to be of the highest order. The pull of the 'other side' with its freedom from the responsibilities of the physical realm, and the peace and joyful atmosphere of the spiritual realm, could be very enticing,
Hugh Lynn also told us about a time at the end of a reading period, when Gertrude was slow in giving Edgar the suggestion to return to consciousness, and his breathing became slower and slower and more and more shallow, until Gertrude, Gladys and Hugh Lynn all got down on their knees beside the cot to pray for his life. Finally, his breathing became more normal and he returned to consciousness.
There is no way that Edgar Cayce was afraid of death. On his own deathbed he heard the music of the spheres—heavenly choirs. For him, the passage to the other side was easy. He had been practicing it for most of his life.
Some of you will remember Jim Dixon who was bead of the Study Group Department for many years. When his wife was dying of cancer, he invited my husband and me to visit them in Arizona. His wife Beth and I were very close because she had a beautiful soprano voice and whenever we got together we would spend hours at the piano making music together. I had a dream shortly after this visit.
Jim and Beth Dixon
In the dream, I saw Beth sitting on their king-size bed. In front of her lay shells of all sizes, colors, and shapes which she had arranged in beautiful designs. In the dream I started to weep. I turned to Jim who sat on a chair near the bed and I said through my tears, "Beth is not afraid of dying, Jim. Look at these designs! She trusts the beauty of the process. But there are so many people who don't know how to die!" Jim nodded in agreement. I awoke, my face wet with tears.
"Then there should not be sorrow and sadness in those periods when the physical turmoils and strifes of the body are laid aside, for the moment, for the closer walk with Him. For indeed to be absent from the material body is to be present with the Lord… And then when…there is the meeting at the river, there will be indeed no sorrow when this barque puts out to sea." (Edgar Cayce Reading 1824-1)
Excerpt from June Bro's The Art of Living from the Jan-Mar 2015 issue of Venture Inward magazine available to A.R.E. members at EdgarCayce.org/members.
Dr. June Avis Bro found her life deeply affected by working daily with Edgar Cayce when she and her husband, Harmon, came to Virginia Beach in 1943. She set about sharing her interests with others as a pastoral counselor and minister, as well as by using her skills in the performing arts. She has a graduate ministerial degree from Andover-Newton Theological School, near Boston, and a doctorate from Chicago Theological Seminary. In addition to teaching on six campuses while raising five children, she has been a research assistant at Harvard, lectured and held workshops in many cities, led overseas tours to the Near East and China, and served as pastor. A concert pianist, she has served on the music staff in churches of most of the major Protestant denominations and draws on her background in the arts to illuminate myths, symbols, and dreams. At age ninety, she released her first piano CD called "Soul Soundings," which is being sold in the A.R.E. Bookstore. Her column for A.R.E.'s Venture Inward Magazine, "The Art of Living" is based on her life reading given by Mr. Cayce in 1944. She wrote the forward to the recently re-released book A Seer Out of Season written by Harmon Bro.
With a new age of enlightenment fast coming upon us, we need to learn and apply the influences of what 72 of Edgar Cayce's discourses call, "the unseen forces." These readings describe the unseen forces as "a consciousness of that divine force that emanates in Life itself in this material plane." ( Edgar Cayce Reading 281-7, my emphasis)
According to these discourses, the unseen forces are more powerful than the seen, or what some call reality. (Edgar Cayce Reading 262-8) The laws and physics of material reality are, according to the readings, the result, not the cause or source of our situations or abilities. All projected life in this world comes from unseen influences within, not without.
Even human weaknesses and evil are a result of the misuse of free will, a misuse that began in the spirit and mind, long before material life even began. The implication here is that all outer influences, whether they are good or evil, emanate from the unseen realms of spirit and mind.
Cayce's readings acknowledge the "warring" that occurs within us and between the unseen realms and the seen. (281-7) His readings even call this war the true Armageddon, a battle between the influences entering the earth plane and those being forced out of it. (3976-15)
Even the light-bearing souls struggle against dark forces within themselves to maintain their hold on the Light. It is difficult to be pure channels of the Light in this life, in our families and workplaces, even in our own hearts and minds. It is a terrible battle, a war of selfishness and darkness against loving care for others and the light of truth, hope, and love.
The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed in Sun by William Blake (1805)is one of a series of illustrations of Revelation 12 Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/
Cayce's readings warn the Children of God, the Children of the Law of One (as he often referred to them), to seek and maintain their awareness of the divine forces, for these will protect them from dark intentions of others and from the weaknesses within themselves. "As has been given, and as experienced by many, in opening self to the unseen forces about us, yet warred ever by those influences save when in the presence of His influence, then as the forces are raised in self know—without doubt—there are His protecting influences, able, willing, capable, and will aid in that direction in which such vibrations, such influences, are raised to those individuals to whom they be directed, even by the spoken word; for, as is seen, as is understood by many, by most, that the unseen forces are the active forces, the active principles." (281-7)
In order to avoid the subtle, insidious influence of evil and selfishness, even the best among us must seek the protection and assistance of the divine influence, that consciousness of the divine with us. "The spirit is indeed willing, but the flesh is weak," taught Jesus Christ, who faced Satan's temptations and walked away. (Matthew 26:41 and Mark 1:3) And when we fail to maintain our mindfulness of the divine and the higher bodily vibrations of the divine awakened within us, we must get up and try again, never condemning ourselves or limiting the divine's ability to redeem us, to cleanse us and make us stronger.
Cayce's reading: "Be not faint hearted because failure seems to be in thy way, or that self falters—but "how many times shall I forgive, or ask forgiveness—seven times?" "Yea, seventy times seven!" or, "not how I faltered, but did I seek His face again?" "Could ye not watch with me one hour?" The man crying out! "Sleep on, now, and take thy rest, for the hour cometh when I shall be even alone." So we find the changes, the weaknesses in the flesh—yet he that seeks shall find, and as oft as ye knock will the answer come. Seek to be one with Him, in body, in mind, in soul!" (281-7)
Life is a challenge. It is a dance between self-centeredness and a cooperative self that is aware of and seeking the Creative Forces, the Good Forces, and a love for all.
Excerpt from John Van Auken's Ancient Mysteries Column from the Oct-Dec '14 issue of Venture Inward magazine available to A.R.E. members at EdgarCayce.org/members.
John Van Auken is a director at Edgar Cayce's A.R.E., and is one of the organization's most popular speakers, traveling throughout the U.S. and abroad to address audiences on the body- mind-spirit topics found in the Edgar Cayce readings. Having studied the Edgar Cayce material for nearly 40 years, he is an acknowledged expert on the Cayce readings, and on the Bible, ancient prophecies, world religions, meditation, and ancient Egypt. He conducts seminars in the U.S. and abroad (see EdgarCayce.org/Conferences), and is a tour guide to the many sacred sites around the world, including the upcoming trip to China. He is the author of more than 20 books including the recently released Edgar Cayce on the Spiritual Forces Within You, and the best sellers From Karma to Grace, 2038: The Great Pyramid Timeline Prophecy, and Edgar Cayce and the Kabbalah: A Resource for Soulful Living.

Apple will reveal its new iPhone tomorrow and analysts are already predicting a buying frenzy. These are predictions, of course, but there's no denying the anticipation felt by many Apple fans.
The first comes from Janney Capital Markets analyst Bill Choi, who brandishes a huge number about. He suggests that Apple will sell as many as 107 million iPhones in 2012. Bill cites the potential of yet untapped providers and the audiences they would bring.
"There are still a handful of major carriers worldwide that have yet to carry the iPhone. Potential deals with Sprint (52.1M subscribers), T-mobile (33.6M subscribers), China Mobile (628M subscribers) and other large international carriers pose a catalyst to fuel iPhone sales," he told All Things D.
Ticonderoga Securities analyst Brian White is also enthusiastic about sales potential, identifying the fall release date as a contributing factor. White suggests that "pent up demand" experienced by those who expected a June or July release could break Apple's single-day sales record of 1.7 million iPhones.
We'll know soon enough, and we'll cover tomorrow's press event for you. See you then!

The only thing that sucked about The Walking Dead this season was the Asian nerd Glenn hooking up with Hershel's daughter Maggie. That's reportedly in the comic book though. Otherwise, it was interesting to watch the liberal world collapse and give way to the zero sum world of the zombie apocalypse.When I was in high school, a Visiting Fellow at Yale University who was a graphic artist and author came to talk to my English class. We asked him questions such as, "how do you get a job that sounds so cool and fun?" "What do you read? What is a typical day like?"I think the liberal world will collapse one day, not from a zombie apocalypse, but because it is financially unsustainable due to global aging and changing racial demographics. There will be people like Dale who won't survive The Day The EBT Card Stops Working. Their humanist principles will end up getting them killed.
It is people like Merle and Daryl Dixon who will thrive in the zero sum world of the future. There will have to be leaders like Rick Grimes who are capable of making the tough decisions. It won't be a liberal democracy. I think that is why The Walking Dead has proven to be so popular...We're tired of the Dales of America. Men are tired of this world. Women are tired of it too.The Walking Dead captures the zeitgeist perfectly.
Our speaker offered answers that I have long since forgotten. But, he did say one thing that I still remember. The Fellow subscribed to various KKK newsletters and white supremacist publications. I was shocked. Why would a black man be reading this stuff? He answered that you have to know what your enemies are up to and how they see the world. You need to understand their twisted minds so that you can anticipate their next move. In all, people of color and other marginalized groups must understand the political imaginations of those who hate us. To a 12 year old's ears and psyche, that was shocking advice. I value its wisdom to this day.
The season finale of The Walking Dead gave fans of the TV show (and comic) much of what they had been yearning for. There were zombies galore. The Governor is coming. The prison in on the horizon. And Michonne, iconic character that she is, has finally made her first appearance, katana in hand, with two zombies chained and in tow. Of course, T-Dog was still "T-Dog": a cowardly chauffeur for white women who wants to abandon the group, and that never gets to do anything of substance.
For most viewers, there was much to be pleased with in the The Walking Dead's second season finale. However, White Nationalists are decidedly mixed in their appraisal of the show.
The act of interpretation is everything for those of us who are critical students of popular culture. These types of analyses are inherently creative and inventive. The best involve theory building, a deep reading of a text, and a survey of genre (as well as the related literature). The worst types of cultural studies and semiotic work do none of these things: they are no more than intellectual scatology, "informed" opinions that abandon rigor in favor of high-minded intellectual navel gazing and mental masturbation.
Students often ask me, "if this is all an 'interpretation,' how do you separate the 'good' readings from the 'bad' ones? Why is your 'interpretation' more accurate or valid than ours?" My flippant answer is that I have been doing this longer, have read much more than you, and thought more deeply about these topics. My fair and more pedagogically sound answer is that you learn to separate the good from the bad through a survey of examples.
One of the strengths of interpretive/semiotic/textual analysis/discursive approaches to qualitative research in the social sciences and humanities is the breadth of possibility. This is a strength and a weakness. The former is embodied by folks like Hall, Butler, Lacan, Bakhtin, Laclau, Dyer, Lipsitz, Frith, Fiske, hooks, Foucault and others. The latter is exemplified by the fan boy rantings on websites and much of what counts as "cultural criticism" in the popular media.
Moreover, these epic failures in interpretation can also be productive teachable moments. When populist approaches run amok, and meaning is imposed on a text--as opposed to excised, pulled from, or intervened against--we can still learn a great deal about politics, and the ways that various publics and audiences understand popular culture as speaking both "through" and "to" them.
In our discussions of how race does a particular type of "work" in The Walking Dead TV series, many fans, and especially those of color, were troubled by the white-washing of the cast. Michonne had not yet made an appearance. T-Dog is a neutered, subservient, and quite literally muted, black male. Glenn is a model minority. As I wrote here, The Walking Dead television show is very much a drama which focuses on a crisis in white masculine authority. Consequently, black and brown folks are peripheral to its universe.
The White Nationalist and White Supremacist crowd have a different gaze. Our concerns about a lack of diversity and inclusion are their reasons for loving the show. We are happy to see an archetypical badass like Michonne finally introduced; they see this as unfortunate. The White Nationalists see "Jews" and "Zionists" everywhere in The Walking Dead; I am still struggling to make this discovery.
In much the same way that White racists are obsessed with the classic movie Planet of the Apes (what they suggest is a cautionary tale about white oppression), The Walking Dead television show has provided much fodder for their conspiranoid imaginations. It would appear that sometimes oppositional readings of a cultural text can go too far. What follows are some examples of the bastard stepchildren of the postmodern turn as seen on the website Occidental Dissent:

"You should download the comic series. Much better than a Wiki. The Black stud (a staple of the Jewish imagination) was Mr. Articulate, Competent, Brave, Honorable, Eligible Bachelor; he's just been left out and is nothing at all like T-Dog. Yes, Sophia's mom is the one who threw herself at the him within five minutes of meeting him (really, it was a very Jewy moment)."
Ewww! I like Carol. One of you fellows, up the thread, wrote something along the lines of Carol being hot, even though her short greying hair creates a "You don't know how old I am" vibe. The actress that plays Carol has lovely features, and a very youthful face, and she's petite and cute. She's all over Darryl – and the glorious, stunning, smoldering, functional, uber-fit, dead-on-target never misses, shoot your arrows at ME baby Natural Man Darryl, he of the sexy eyes, sexy, sexy irresistable eyes (I need to stop, here…) vs the fat boring useless Negro? "
I'm somewhat fascinated by the descriptions Svigor is providing, of the events and characterizations in the orignal comic book. Rather – I am fascinated by the revisions the changes the producers are making. Something's afoot.
They change a "Handsome, Idealized" Negro male – which would have been so easy to re-create, into a boring, non-essential dullard Negro. Really -the Show Negro is Scarlet O'Hara's Big re-born.
That's interesting. He's NOT getting any White meat, thus far, either.
They CREATE 2 "redneck" male characters – one of whom sports SS lightening bolts, on his hog, and who is SO wildly popular (the LAST caller on the Talking Dead show last night was a youngish female, pleading for info on the Return of Merle) that they are bringing him back from the presumed Dead, even though he called a Nigger "Nigger" on air.

....FYI – Glenn's a Korean cause the actor wot plays Glenn is a Korean. I do like the character. He's the eager little Good Guy. I don't hate him cause he's a YellowMan. He's OK. I think the glenn Maggie pairing is a screech, because they are so physically incongruous. Jack Ryan sez the actress wot plays Maggie is a Hebess – so I don't care if it's Hebe Yellow miscegenation.
I'm certain my TV husband Merle will back me up, on this one.
Svigor says:
March 20, 2012 at 12:31 am
They didn't "change" the character. If anything, they replaced him, with a different character. T-Dog (played by IronE Singleton – empasis in original, can't make this stuff up) is Theodore Douglas. The Black Stud in the comic is named Tyreese. He's your typical boring, two-dimensional Black Hero (former NFL player, stud, and all-around great guy whose only "flaw" is not knowing how great he is). T-Dog is boring too, but as in plain-old boring, not OMG we're afraid to do anything other than lionize Blacks boring.
If anything, Shane incorporated a lot of the elements of Tyreese's character, what with being a rival for leadership, the guy Rick looked to first, etc. They got into a knock-down drag out fight, shortly before TSHTF and Tyreese bought the farm.
It's not hard to understand. TV is quite conservative. Just as producers don't want to offend SWPL sensibilities by ever (ever, ever) portraying Blacks negatively, or realistically, they don't want to chase away White eyeballs with the monumentally offensive (to everyone but Jews and Black men) Blacks on Blondes thing. White people don't admit it's offensive to them, but it is, to all but a small minority.
Hell, even Jews know it's offensive – ever seen a cute brunette coed riding a buck with a star of David around her neck? Didn't think so.
And T-Dog isn't going to get any White meat, either. If they wanted to throw him White meat, they would've chosen a different actor. One look at "IronE" and it's obvious he's not there for any romantic parts. One shot of him kissing anyone, much less a White woman, and ratings would drop like a stone...Doesn't really count if she's not sporting a star of David, or playing a Jewess. Especially not if she doesn't look Jewish – and she doesn't. Jews get a kick out of playing White roles and dragging them through the mud.
But I agree, it isn't offensive because the mass media hasn't been waging a psyops campaign to put negroes in bed with White women for the last 50 years, and Yellow men are not credible threats to White men in the Testosterone/masculinity department; TV can make Black men seem intelligent by feeding them lines – they can't make Yellow men seem more masculine.

I think you theorizers should just drop a note to the producers asking them to include your version of what a real white man is. Or you could ask them if they are going to go PC with some race mixing BS.
Like Denise said in another thread these DWLs at least find our freedom exciting. How could they not, since its official doctrine that negroes are the equal of whites without a single scintilla of proof, but you better believe or else. Think of the hell that must be a DWLs soul.

Does anyone know what make of motorcycle Daryl rides? It's a mean machine.
Anywho, couple of random thoughts. "Mr.Yo" is one of the few cable drama fights where the White beats the black. As the show gets better the cast gets Whiter. Morales and his tribe take off. Gangsta's with hearts of gold rot in the city with the old. Weren't these the "people" we needed to import to pay for Grandma? An old negress immolates at CDC.
Shane was nice Union man. Shane would never let Rick and his family secede from him. Rick did anyway. A child of the South slew the Union's ghost (er, zombie).

Not to rain spoilers but I think a super negro is coming in the third season. Michonne is supposedly some Angry Sistah with a sword.
Svigor says:
March 19, 2012 at 8:37 pm
SUPER POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT (from the comics): Michonne is a boring cardboard cutout character. She's just your typical two-fer: invincible negress, and invincible butt-kicking-babe for the T-deficient nerd masses. She does very little of interest: (1) sucks off the negro who was shacked up with the blonde so the blonde could catch them in the act and dump the negro and then attempt suicide because once you've gone Black there is no substitute (2) throws herself at the negro, just as the blonde shiksa did, thus proving no woman can resist a negro (3) talks to herself, which leads to a bit of bonding with Ranger Rick, who carries a phone through which he talks to his dead wife (Lori gets eaten) (4) finally kills the governer, who raped and tortured her, after bungling the attempt the first go round. I can't think of anything else interesting about her. I do know Kirkman keeps her around for a loooooong time.
Anyway, another great post from you. I'm not a big zombie guy, but this show has captivated me.
@Walter. If you like the show you will love the graphic novel. Check it out.
@Chiller. How kind. From Occidental Dissent.
I haven't ever watched the show, but just reading this post triggered a couple of insights. This quote:
"TV can make Black men seem intelligent by feeding them lines – they can't make Yellow men seem more masculine."
For me this adds a new aspect to the whole "Obama needs the teleprompter" narrative.
What strikes me as especially ironic here, is that White Supremacists, and the Defenders of Western Civilization (as they flatter themselves) and the Southern Pride and lingering Southern Resentment crowd are in fact zombies. They are the awful nasty monsters that just won't fucking die and disappear from this earth. They are brainless and their annoying persistence makes them simultaneously horrifying and maddening, a plague that just keeps coming in endless dogged waves of sheer stupidity. And these individuals are commenting about zombies from a detached artificial position of imagined superiority when they don't understand they are looking in a mirror, they are looking at their own zombie-assed selves.

Not so fast on the UConn-ND Fenway game and other links
As often happens when these rumors arise, they are quickly shot down. On Tuesday Notre Dame AD Jack Swarbrick called reports of a pending Fenway game inaccurate. But just because the Irish might not be interested or might not be able to schedule the game in 2014, doesn't mean that a similar game won't happen. BC needs to be involved in those discussions and find the right game and opponent to showcase the team and the Park.
Amidon's breakout season moved him onto the Biletnikoff watch list.
Nick Clancy's ultra-productive Saturday earned ACC honors.
Tabor's Tevin Montgomery is still interested in BC.

Hi and welcome to the forum.
The stalling issue is a common topic on this forum; likely culprits are a cracked PCV hose or dirty/failed IAC valve. If you type those terms into the search box, you'll find more than enuf info. |
i had the same issue mostly when coming to a stop. the car would die. i had another focus that came into our honda shop and it had the same issue, died while shifting or rolling to a stop. replaced that iac and the car drove nicely. the iac valve underneath your intake manifold is most likely your culprit. not that expensive of a part.
All times are GMT -5. The time now is 11:46 PM. |

1992 Dodge Dynasty LE 4dr Sedan
I bought this car and it had over 400,000 mi on it. The transmission has never been replaced. \The major transmission problem a lot of people have is called a transmission filter, change it! It's like an oil filter. If you don't change it, a disaster could occur. I have overhauled this thing from top to bottom. I put in a high performance air intake from a 92 Mitsubishi 3000GT which shares the same engine and I put on a hood scoop, custom headlights, stobes, sirens, performance AV, and performance lifters, I squeezed 275 horsepower out of this granny car. Thing goes 0-60 in about three seconds. Take care of it and it will take care of you!
the full review
1992 Dodge Dynasty LE 4dr Sedan
The $17,519 [including tax & tags] '92 Dynasty has been a most reliable, comfortable, and beautiful car. Was repainted the original gray several years ago, making its appearance especially nice even today. Rare item are leather seats special ordered. Saw only 2 others in all the years I've owned this Dynasty; and one of them was at the Washington DC Car show. Also added the wire wheels. Unfortunately, the car has been neglected in recent years. Things are breaking and not getting repaired because, somehow, they don't interfere with the car's operation. Waxed it last week, & managing to lose an irreplaceable wheel cover soon thereafter. Transmissions were notoriously weak on Dynasty
the full review
1992 Dodge Dynasty LE 4dr Sedan
I can honstly say my 92 has been the best car I have owned, and I have owned many vehicles of different makes. It now has 193,000 miles on it with no major problems. The 3.3L engine delivers excellent performance and mileage for my daily commute. Other than tires, brakes, filters and tuneups the engine or transmission has never been tuched except for service. I have always changed oil every 3,000 miles and trans service every 30,000 miles. Most of the transmission problems associated with this particular vehicle appear to be from improper fluids, owner neglect, or a small problem ignored until it is disastorous. Cars need service no matter what it is.

1992 Dodge Dynasty LE 4dr Sedan
this has been one hell of a car. I
inherited it from my parents when they
got their 99 LHS. I know it's not an
exciting car for an 18 year old, but it
is very reliable, comfortable, roomy
for the friends, and Chrysler's first
ever V6 (3.3- 150HP, 190ft lb torque)
is a powerful and bullet proof engine.
My teen leadfoot is no match for this
powertrain. The trans is rough around
the edges at times, other times it
shifts like butter. It's been a great
car, and i set up my own Infinity sound
system with Cd, and it rivals the
factory Infinity systems. Love the car,
will hate to see it go.

By Carmen Gonzalez Even as cloud and managed services grow increasingly central to business strategy and performance, challenges remain. The biggest sticking point for companies seeking to capitalize on the cloud is data security. Keeping data safe is an issue in any computing environment, and it has been a focus since the earliest days of the cloud revolution. Understandably so: a lot can go wrong when you allow valuable information to live outside the firewall.

By Carmen Gonzalez Cloud data governance was previously an avoided function when cloud deployments were relatively small. With the rapid adoption in public cloud – both rogue and sanctioned, it's not uncommon to find regulated data dumped into public cloud and unprotected. This is why enterprises and cloud providers alike need to embrace a cloud data governance function and map policies, processes and technology controls accordingly.
In her session at 15th Cloud Expo, Evelyn de Souza, Data Privacy and Compliance Strategy Leader at Cisco Systems, will focus on how to set up a cloud data governance program and s... Mar. 3, 2015 04:15 PM EST Reads: 915 |

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – The Canadian Cancer Society is asking the federal government to do something about a shortage of drugs needed for treating cancer patients. But the drug shortage could also cause problems for those living out the last days of their lives.
Wendy Wainwright is with the BC Hospice Palliative Care Association. "It is certainly going to have a very large impact the dying patient."
She adds symptom management could be an issue but alternative medications to morphine and other pain pills are being looked into.
"It is my understanding that [health authorities] have prioritized palliative patients. So when they are thinking about how they are making decisions around patients receiving the drugs that they need, palliative and dying patients will be quite high on that list."
Cancer caregivers also want the government to put systems in place to prevent these shortages from escalating.
The problem of drug shortages has been increasing over the last year, but escalated recently with the temporary shut-down of a plant in Quebec which makes 90 per cent of all injectable drugs used in the country. The Sandoz Canada plant is expected to resume production in the near future.
Last week, Health Canada said it's working with the pharmaceutical industry to figure out alternate sources of drugs.

Facebook says that only old Wall messages are republishing, but some users in Europe and the US claim the publicly-displayed messages were private.
Several outlets have reported that a "bug" is afflicting the accounts of some Facebook users in Europe and the US, re-publishing old messages to their timelines.
The problem? Users claimed that the old content being made public included messages that were previously private. The problem was first reported today in French newspapers, including Metro France. According to Slate, the Metro report was the first Facebook had heard of the problem.
British users also reported the problem, according to the Huffington Post UK.
Once they looked into it, however, Facebook denied that private messages were being reposted, the Telegraph said.
The question of the moment then became, in the words of Slate: "Is Facebook publishing people's private messages, or are we all freaking out over nothing?"
At present, it appears that Facebook may be correct that the old information being posted is only public material.
More from GlobalPost: Facebook agrees to stop collecting photographs of European people
TechCrunch reporter Colleen Taylor wrote that her outlet had "found no evidence that the allegedly exposed posts were actually private messages."
"Our Facebook specialist Josh Constine found that email receipts show allegedly exposed messages were in fact wall posts, and the posts do not appear in users' Facebook Messages inbox," Taylor wrote.
Facebook said in an e-mail to Slate that the company "is satisfied that there has been no breach of user privacy."
In fact, the "bug" that has caused some user panic today may simply be part of a planned rollout of the new Timeline feature, CNet reported.
Apparently, even Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's page had a taste of deja vu. According to the Telegraph, "His profile showed a message to a friend that said '2009 is going to be a huge year.'"

Recap: U-23's 8 - Fredericksburg Hotspur PDL 1
FREDERICKSBURG, Va. – It was Major League Soccer's all-time leading scorer Jaime Moreno's first game at the helm of United's newly formed Under-23 Academy team. Early on it was easy to see his new club resembled its head man's game, hustling its way into early scoring chances.
In the first minute, D.C. United forward Marco Mangione deflected a pass in front of the Hotspur goal which forced Fredericksburg Hotspur goalkeeper Ryan Taylor to make a diving save. They threatened again just four minutes later, drawing a penalty kick which was shot wide by midfielder Paul Torres.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Arizona Diamondbacks manager Gibson: If Brandon McCarthy wanted to throw the cutter, he should have thrown the cutter
Perhaps it will soon be known as "Cutter-Gate."
Or, maybe, this is a non-story that will run out of steam soon enough.
At any rate, ever since former Diamondback Brandon McCarthy attributed a strong start with the Yankees in which he allowed just one run on six hits with nine strikeouts in a win over the Cincinnati Reds to his throwing a cutter, which he claimed the D-backs wouldn't let him use, discussion has run rampant about what exactly was going on in the desert.
Was McCarthy, who struggled to a 3-10 record with a 5.01 ERA this season before being sent to New York, making an excuse and looking for someone to blame? Or was he just being honest in saying the Diamondbacks, who don't exactly have the best reputation when it comes to getting the most out of pitchers these days, negatively impacted his performance?
A guest of Burns and Gambo on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Tuesday, D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said he does not view McCarthy as throwing him or the organization under the bus and he's not offended by his former player's comments.
That said, if the right-hander wasn't using his cutter it was not because of any directive handed down by the skipper or anyone else with the team.
"We were aware of his cutter, and I can tell you we did not tell him he could not throw his cutter," Gibson said. "We did point out what was happening with his cutter on several occasions."
What was happening with his cutter, which according to BrooksBaseball.net he threw just 10.34 percent of the time this season, was that opponents hit .310 off the pitch, with a slugging percentage of .643. In the 169 cutters McCarthy threw as a Diamondback this season, seven resulted in strikeouts, seven led to singles, two resulted in doubles and four ended up leaving the park as home runs.
Needless to say it was not his best pitch, though McCarthy did say the team instead wanted him to throw more sinkers, which apparently were even less effective than his cutter.
Regardless, the assertion from McCarthy that the team essentially removed a pitch from his arsenal, especially one that makes him a better pitcher, may not exactly be on point.
"We point out what's working and what's not working, (and) the numbers kind of bare that out," Gibson said. "The pitcher, let me just say this about any pitcher that's on the mound, it's ultimately their responsibility to shake and go to what pitch they want to throw.
"They have that power out there and if he wants to shake and he wants to go with it, he can throw that pitch."
