Comments about Marmot Sassy Jacket (Women's):
I feel in love with my new casual rain jacket. Well it's almost more a raincoat, as it just covers my hip and flatters my figure. Already received so many compliments on my everyday outwear. The additional length is especially helpful on my daily walk to work, so my pants will not soak completely.
The fabric doesn't look and feel like a waterproof coat, it's actually soft and the water simply runs off. I decided for the black one, which I can even wear on more formal occasions – nobody recognizes that I'm wearing a rain jacket.

CANTON One of the two men accused in the severe beating of a Clarkson University lacrosse player in late August pleaded guilty Tuesday in St. Lawrence County Court.
Bryan A. Bicknell, 21, of 342 West Parishville Road, Parishville, pleaded guilty to second-degree criminal assault, a class D felony, after reaching a plea deal with the district attorneys office.
Mr. Bicknell admitted to Judge Jerome J. Richards that at 1:52 a.m. on Aug. 24, he and Dakota J. Vallance, 19, of 399 Buckton Road, Winthrop, attacked Donald J.W. Whelley, 21, on Maple Street in the village of Potsdam in front of the former Honda dealership.
The two suspects struck Mr. Whelley repeatedly in the head, causing him countless fractures and dislocating his face, according to an indictment handed up Oct. 1 by a St. Lawrence County grand jury. Mr. Whelley required facial reconstruction surgery because of his injuries.
Mr. Vallance pleaded not guilty to the same charge Oct. 15 in County Court.
As a part of Mr. Bicknells plea deal, he faces six months in the St. Lawrence County jail, five years probation supervision and what Judge Richards referred to substantial restitution, although that amount was not discussed during the plea. He also would have to testify against Mr. Vallance if his case goes to trial.
Sitting in the back of the courtroom watching the proceedings Tuesday were Donald Whelleys parents, Stephen M. and Ruth Whelley.
Mr. Whelley said he was satisfied with the potential sentence for Mr. Bicknell.
We thought long and hard about this, and we could have worked to throw this kid in the system, Stephen Whelley said outside the courtroom. This isnt about revenge; its a chance at retribution for him.
Mr. Bicknell is a young man who made a terrible mistake and he has his whole life ahead of him, Mr. Whelley said.
We showed him a bit of mercy that he didnt show our son on the night, he said.
Mr. Bicknell is scheduled to be sentenced April 14. He was released under probation supervision.

A nice reminder of June 29, 2012.
The Goal:
The Celebration:
The Despair:
The Fire suffered a heavy defeat last weekend in Los Angles and are looking to rebound in the best possible way in the team's home opener against New England on Saturday evening. The Revs have yet to play a game and will hope to shake off the rust and try and spoil the Fire's first game at home in 2013. Here are some tactical things to look out for:
Handling Bengtson – how will the Fire's defense contain the target striker?
In last weekend's loss to LA, the Fire's defense couldn't contain Robbie Keane whose movement led to all sorts of problems for the team. Against New England, the defense will face a much different type of striker in Jerry Bengtson, a giant target forward who will likely play up front on his own.
New England have a host of attacking midfielders/wingers that will be looking for layoffs and knockdowns from Bengtson and the Fire's defense will need to try and stop the Honduran from linking with his teammates.
LA were able to stop Maicon Santos and Shejill MacDonald from holding the ball up at the Home Depot Center last week and if the Fire's defense can mimic LA's, the Rev's could be in a for a long night.
Who plays behind Bengtson? A wealth of attacking options for the Revs
Because New England did not play last week, the Fire will have less of an idea about who will be playing in the attacking positions behind Bengtson on Saturday night.
Though the Rev's have lost Benny Feilhaber, they still have many options for the second striker/wide midfield roles. Any combination of Chad Barrett, Andy Dorman, Juan Toja, Ryan Guy and Lee Nguyen could play against the Fire and all five offer something different.
The defense as a unit will be looking for a much improved performance and with Logan Pause and Arne Friedrich's return unlikely, Saturday gives the back four a chance to redeem themselves against New England.
On the outside, Gonzalo Segares and Jalil Anibaba were caught out a few times with balls in behind them last Sunday and must be aware of players like Nguyen and Toja who look to do that on a regular basis.
Dilly Duka and Patrick Nyarko did a good job tracking back and helping the outside defenders but the emphasis will be on Sega and Anibaba to get forward and put in crosses as every opportunity.
Creating more chances – possession and set pieces
The Fire showed some rust last Sunday, giving the ball away on numerous occasions and completing over 100 less passes than LA with the Men in Red's pass accuracy at only 74%. Large improvements in that department are certainly needed but the team will also be looking to get more set pieces in the attacking third.
The Fire's first (of only two) corner kicks didn't occur until the 60th minute in LA and it almost resulted in a goal for Anibaba after a brilliant cross by Lindpere.
As I mentioned last week, Lindpere's excellent deliveries from corners and free kicks will create many changes for the team this season. Last week LA started a new goalkeeper and this week, New England may start a new acquisition in the defense Jose Goncalves. The Portuguese newcomer is an experienced defender but as we saw last week, putting balls into a place where it forces the goalkeeper and defender to communicate and make a decision can lead to a mistake and a Fire opportunity.
The Fire only had one shot on target last week but also had some other excellent chances to score, most notably Rolfe's scuffed shot after the Cudicini mistake and Maicon's header just wide of the post. Klopas and co. will be looking for the Fire attackers to test Matt Reis as much as possible.
Prediction: 2-0 Fire with goals from MacDonald and Lindpere

A little over a year since the Fire/Quaker Oats partnership began and just days before the Chicago Fire challenge the New England Revolution on Opening Night at Toyota Park (Saturday, March 9 at 6:30 p.m. CT live on NBC Sports Network), we stopped by the Quaker Oats headquarters to check-in and see how the club's iconic jersey partner was preparing for the 2013 season.
From the looks of things, the partnership is really starting to make an impact...
As we continue to countdown to kickoff, some facts and figures on the Chicago Fire's 2013 First Kick Roster…
* The current roster features 26 players with an average age of 24 years, 9 months.
* 19 players return from the Fire team that finished the 2012 season.
* 7 new Fire players have joined the side over the offseason.
* 5 of those players were acquired by in-league movements: Maicon Santos (Re-Entry from D.C.), Joel Lindpere (trade with New York), Jeff Larentowicz (trade with Colorado), Dilly Duka (trade with Columbus), Quincy Amarikwa (trade with Toronto FC).
GAMEDAY Q&A: 8 Questions with Frank Klopas
*1 of the other players, midfielder Yazid Atouba was the Fire's lone selection in the 2013 SuperDraft.

* Captain Logan Pause returns for his 11th consecutive season in Chicago – one of the longest consecutive tenures with one team all-time in MLS. Pause sits second on the club's all competitions appearance list with 304 games played since 2003.
* Entering the 2013 season, Fire players have a combined 86 seasons of MLS experience. Leading the way are Logan Pause (10), Jeff Larentowicz and Gonzalo Segares (8), Chris Rolfe (6) and Wells Thompson (6).
* 3 players on the Fire roster have won MLS Cup. Larentowicz, Thompson and Amarikwa were all part of the Colorado Rapids side that won the 2010 title.
* 7 players on the Fire roster have won a combined 11 domestic titles: Pause (2 U.S. Open Cups, 1 Supporters Shield), Larentowicz and Thompson (1 MLS Cup, 1 U.S. Open Cup each), Segares and Rolfe (1 U.S. Open Cup), Amarikwa (1 MLS Cup), Maicon Santos (1 Canadian Championship).
* This season marks the first time since 2009 that the Fire have had two goalkeepers return. Sean Johnson is back for his fourth season while Paolo Tornaghi backs him up for the second year.
READ: Five things you should know about #LAvCHI
* The current roster has scored 158 goals in regular season play, led by 2012 Fire MVP and Golden Boot winner Chris Rolfe who has 44 career strikes. Three of the Fire's offseason acquisitions boast double-digit career goal scoring figures: Jeff Larentowicz (23 goals), Joel Lindpere (15 goals) and Maicon Santos (21 goals).
* Frank Klopas returns for his second full season as head coach and third since taking over from Carlos de los Cobos in May 2011.

While most of MLS kicks off today, we in Fire country have to wait more sleep before we watch the Men in Red take on two-time defending MLS Cup champions LA Galaxy Sunday at 4pm on UniMas.
Whet the appetite with this video where MLSsoccer.com's Dan Haiek and Matt Doyle talk one of the most intriguing matches of Opening Weekend...
The Fire start the 2013 MLS season at the Home Depot Center on Sunday against the two-time defending champions LA Galaxy (LIVE 4pm CT on UniMas). Both teams made some major changes over the off-season and will be looking to start 2013 off on the right step. Here are a few tactical things to keep an eye on...
New central midfield pairing – how will the JL's play together?
Last season, the Fire paired Logan Pause and Pavel Pardo in central midfield. This season, two new midfielders take their places: MLS veterans Jeff Larentowicz and Joel Lindpere. Both have played together in preseason but the regular season, against the defending champions at the Home Depot Center is a different animal.
Lindpere is noted for his attacking ability but he will be required to help Larentowicz defensively, especially when the Fire turn the ball over. It will be important for both players to hold their positions and not get caught too far apart.
In an away match, it is vital to hold on to possession when you get it and it will be important for both of the JL's to link well with each other through the match.
Set pieces – how will LA deal with service from Lindpere?
One thing that really stood out during the preseason was Lindpere's ability to deliver a good ball into the box, especially from dead ball situations. Time after time, Lindpere put balls into the danger area – the space between the penalty spot and the six yard box. The Fire got some goals from set pieces last year and players like Austin Berry are a major threat from them.
Larentowicz is also good in the air, scoring a header in the Carolina Challenge Cup from a Lindpere corner. The Galaxy will be looking to avoid giving up silly free kicks around the area and will try to limit the number of corners the Fire but with Lindpere's quality, the Fire can be very dangerous in this department.
LA will be debuting the vastly experienced 'keeper Carlo Cudincini and the Fire's set pieces will question whether he and his defense are on the same page.
Dilly Duka vs Sean Franklin – youthful exuberance vs experience
Dilly Duka looks set to make his debut for the Fire on Sunday, starting on the left wing. Duka's opponent will likely be Sean Franklin, one of the best right backs in the league and a player with well over 100 MLS games under his belt.
This matchup is fascinating because just as Duka loves to get forward and take on his man, Franklin regularly pushes up to support in the attack, contributing with his fair share of assists. Duka will need to find a good balance between trying to keep Franklin pinned back by pushing forward, and helping out Gonzalo Segares when Franklin does advance to support the attack.
Duka is a very creative player and could end up giving Franklin a tough time but on the other side of the coin, if Segares and Duka are not in tandem, Franklin could hurt the Fire.
Robbie Keane – it's not just all about goals
Robbie Keane's goals dragged the Gals to their second MLS Cup victory in a row last season but his play is not all about goals. He likes to drop into the hole and link up with the Galaxy's midfielders. Keane is very good and holding onto the ball in tight spaces and playing through balls to advancing players.
At Euro 2012, Keane played a similar role for the Republic of Ireland but was often crowed out, something the Fire should look to do if and when Keane drops deeper into the hole. Keane will certainly miss Landon Donovan and Mike Magee on Sunday but even without them, he is a major threat and should prove a handful for Berry, Friedrich and co.
Prediction: 2-1 Fire with goals from Sherjill MacDonald and Arne Friedrich.

Now just 16 days away from Opening Night vs. the New England Revolution at Toyota Park, today we look at #16 Marco Pappa's first goal in a Fire shirt which came on Opening Day 2009.
Pappa of course joined the Fire on loan from Gutemalan side Muncipal in July 2008 but didn't make much of an impact as he adjusted to MLS in his first season.
With a new season ahead of him on this rainy and cold day at Toyota Park, Pappa warmed up Fire fans by taking advantage of Luke Sassano's misplayed header to first-time his volley off both posts before being ruled a goal in a 1-0 victory over New York.
Little did we know that the first goal of his Fire career would be a sign of things to come with his next 25...
Watch below and make sure to get your tickets to Opening Night on March 9 when the Chicago Fire welcome the New England Revolution to Toyota Park.
WATCH: Marco Pappa's Debut Goal for the Fire
As they have the previous two years, the Chicago Fire ventured to the Three Lions Pub inside Blackbaud Stadium for the 2013 Carolina Challenge Cup kickoff luncheon Friday afternoon. The Fire were joined by hosts the Charleston Battery and the Vancouver Whitecaps at the luncheon while Saturday's opponents Houston were set to arrive into the Palmetto State later on Friday.
As I walked around admiring the wall-to-wall memorabilia inside the pub, I realized there were more than a few reunions occuring in the room...
First off was Fire assistant coach Mike Matkovich catching up with defender Jay DeMerit. Matkovich led the Fire PDL side when DeMerit played for it in 2001 and even appeared in "Rise & Shine: The Jay DeMerit Story" to talk about his memories of Jay...
A little further down the way, I spotted a Tottenham reunion as Fire trialist Pascal Chimbonda met up with Whitecaps defender Young-Pyo Lee. The two often manned the defensive flanks together for Spurs while at White Hart Lane from 2006-2008.
Finally, just as I turned around, I spotted Fire midfielder Daniel Paladini talking to his former manager and current Whitecaps head coach Martin Rennie. The Scotsman was the one that brough Paladini to the second division Carolina RailHawks from Chivas USA in 2009 where the pair would spend two seasons together.
To finish the pleasantries Rennie, Fire head coach Frank Klopas and Battery manager Mike Anhaeuser did the annual trophy photo-op.
On to Saturday's first doubleheader featuring the Chicago Fire taking on the Houston Dynamo (if they show) at 4pm CT on Chicago-Fire.com. The Battery will host the Whitecaps in the second game at 6:15pm CT.
Was nice to wake up to this news this morning that U.S. international and current Aston Villa first-choice 'keeper Brad Guzan would like to return to MLS one day and potentially suit up for his hometown Chicago Fire.
A product of Homer Glen, Ill., Guzan was quoted as saying, "Hopefully, I will get the opportunity, when I'm finished playing in Europe, to go back and play in it.
"Especially being from Chicago, which has a team. I'd love to go back and play for the Chicago Fire in front of friends and family. That would be pretty neat."
Guzan of course teamed with current Fire forward Chris Rolfe on the Chicago Fire PDL side that went a near perfect 17-1-0 en route to the league's regular season championship that year.
Having played two seasons at the University of South Carolina, Guzan left college to sign with MLS and was picked second overall by Chivas USA in the 2005 MLS SuperDraft.
At just 28 years old and with the Fire having a 'keeper in Sean Johnson who is nipping at his heels for the number two spot with the U.S., Guzan won't likely return stateside anytime soon but would likely be a welcome addition for many a Fire fan down the road...

I'm a Newbie,
One of your experts on this forum got me going on a little PHP page which sets up a CSS scrollbar inline frame to display the output of my database. Trouble is, the records keep overwriting each other while the PHP code loops through all the DB records, resulting in a display that looks like a defective printer that prints a whole page on one line. When I move the </div> closing attribute to the end of the DIV ID line, the records display correctly one after the other, but at the bottom of the HTML page. Clearly, the output is repeating the format defined in the DIV ID line over and over for each record in the database.
Can someone advise me how to have the records build dynamically (one below the other) inside my CSS frame?

Okay bitch, quit being such a FUCKING CRYBABY and remove your sig. Right now brave americans and Canadians are fighting in afghanistan so you're racist white ass can make fun of their sacrifices. Not cool mkayy?!
Siriusly, your Mom sucks my fat ballsack unless you take DOWN THE FUCKING SIG!!!!!!!!
Hmm.... I think I'm being baited, honestly, I think he PM'd me this because he wants me to post this on the site. First of all, I'm not going to bother PMing him back because I was going to post my reply anyways and makes it one less cut & paste.
To Silva
Dude, if you are trying to get a rise out of me, don't bother you're not worth the time I'm just replying so I can post this for everyone else's shits & giggles. This is the brikwars forums, I think I was already mentioned before it's not a kid's forum and should be monitored by a parent if one is on here. Which your mom is doing, and if your mom has problem with it then she should stop you from going on it. I try not to be a dick on the forums and I think I've been doing a good job (but I could be wrong). But I tried to respected your request, and did a poll (which had a great chance on having it replaced), and tried not to mention you by name. But I guess you need strife in your life so here we are.
Oh, I edited the poll so you can change your vote if you want; I changed mine to "NO"!

The Unlocked iPhone4 exclusively was marketed by AT&T for time immemorial(a little over three years in the mobile world) in US, but that is short lived, in the wake of the rumor of a iPhone launch by Verizon in few years. If/When the Verizon iPhone is really launched; Big Red can cause a big setback to AT&T by help of their self proclaimed superior wireless network. A new study reveals that a large part of the existing users of iPhone on AT&T are keen on replacing them with an alternative Apple Smartphone carrier.
The numbers, though not that surprising, are very significant. According to the study from Morpace, 1 out of 3 AT&T iPhone users are considering changing loyalties to handsets on another carrier. A solid 34% want to jump ship, and 47% of the current users are ready to consider a Verizon alternative of their handset of choice. This is not at all good for the carriers' bottom line when Apple will start reaching out for its iOS-powered Smartphone to the various other carrier partners.
The survey also categorizes the customer intent by carrier.20% of T-Mobile customers are "somewhat" or "very likely" to opt for an Apple Smartphone on Verizon. The same thing applies for 22% and 23% customers of Sprint and AT&T respectively. But surprisingly, 51% of Verizon customers are waiting for a handset powered by iOS which is certainly the icing on the cake.
Even more fascinating is the possible impact an iPhone on Verizon will have on the other Smart phones offered by Big Red. At present, the majority of most compelling Android Smart phones are claimed by Verizon in US. A lot of their resources are invested into marketing Android phones like Unlocked Motorola Droid X and Motorola Droid 2. Considering the arch rivalry between Android and iOS in the mobile space, it is worth wondering how newcomer Apple will overcome Android, especially if it is more powerful than AT&T's iPhone 4.

According to owners Rick and Debbie Krompel, "with the increased interest in the convention facility the need for more parking was inevitable." By removing the parts building, it opened up the front of the convention center and will not only allow additional parking, but will also allow for creative landscaping. The Krompels purchased the Greenwell in 1989 and the Crest in 1994. Greenwell Inn Convention Center is located at 655 East Main Street in Price.

 I haven't spent too much time with World of Warcraft, so clearly I've spent very little time with game. However, I'm in a house of four WoW players, meaning it's pretty hard to avoid the ubiquitousness of the title. For the month of December, nothing but Cataclysm remained played. Seems my household wasn't the only one to be sucked into the gaping maw that is WoW. According to Blizzard, 4.7 million copies of this latest expansion pack were sold, making it the fastest selling PC title in history. Impressive is an understatement, as many games would be lucky to sell a small fraction of those numbers. Heck, even an MMO would be lucky to have a fraction of those subscribers, much less a number of purchases of an expansion pack in one month.

Shock Overview
The word shock is used differently by the medical community and the general public. The connotation by the public is an intense emotional reaction to a stressful situation or bad news. The medical definition of shock is much different.
Medically, shock is defined as a condition where the tissues in the body don't receive enough oxygen and nutrients to allow the cells to function. This ultimately leads to cellular death, progressing to organ failure, and finally, if untreated, whole body failure and death.
How the body works
Cells need two things to function: oxygen and glucose. This allows the cells to generate energy and do their specific jobs.
Oxygen in the air enters the body through the lungs; where oxygen molecules cross into the smallest blood vessels, the capillaries, and are picked up by red blood cells and attached to hemoglobin molecules. The red blood cells are pushed through the body by the actions of the pumping heart and deliver the oxygen to cells in all the tissues of the body. The hemoglobin then picks up carbon dioxide, the waste product of metabolism, where it is then taken back to the lungs and breathed out into the air, whereby the whole cycle begins again.
Glucose is generated in the body from the foods we eat. Glucose travels in the blood stream and uses an insulin molecule to "open the door," where it then enters the cell to provide energy for cellular metabolism.

How Concerned Should We Be About Tyson?
Recapping Sunday's ho-hum win over Detroit, Seth Rosenthal over at Posting and Toasting noted that despite the relatively easy win, the Knicks' defense was still pretty spotty, calling particular attention to the reigning Defensive Player of the Year Tyson Chandler:
Tyson Chandler got caught floating between ball-handler and roller on an alarming number of plays (this continues to be a thing), and unnecessary helping (often by Jason Kidd) and switching opened gaping holes the Knicks didn't rotate to cover. I don't know if it's a sign of opponent preparation or just Knick lethargy, but I find myself issuing a lot of the same complaints I had at New York's worst defensive moments last season.
Brian DiMenna
It's been noted here and elsewhere that Tyson Chandler's defense hasn't been up to last season's standard and it's now gone on long enough to warrant legitimate concern. For what it's worth, I'm still willing to lean on the "lingering effects from his preseason bone bruise" excuse until it's absolutely no longer possible to do so, because frankly the thought of a sub-standard Chandler from here on out fills me with great dread and I'd prefer to just not do it for now, particularly when the team is resting comfortably at 9-3.
To Seth's point, the Houston game seemed a particular low point in regards to getting lost on pick and rolls, as the Rockets were continuously able to get into the teeth of the Knicks' defense without much resistance, with Chandler often getting caught out of position to the delight of all the, "I've been saying this all along, he's not…" yada yadas among us.
Perhaps more concerning is the greater story that New York's defense has steadily declined after such a brilliant start. The hope was that the defensive end of the floor was finally going to be something this team could hang their hats on, but now we've got hats just hanging willy nilly all over the place, which is really no way to manage hats.
The Knicks will need Chandler at the top of his game for Monday night's tilt with Brooklyn, as no one wants to see him lit up by the league's heir to Rik Smits. Oh man, do I still hate Rik Smits, and by that same standard, Brook Lopez.

Car's now adays have more electronics on them than did about half a century ago. Even with the most basic models, you will find plenty of sensors, ECU (Electronics control Unit) and actuators which helps to monitor and control the car electrical and electronics systems. With the increase in systems such as X-by-wire, Flex Ray and CAN (Controller area Network) protocols , automated sensors, telemetric, automatic braking, tire pressure monitoring systems, voice control through the radio using a BVC (Bluetooth Voice Controller) or parrot card, cruise control, and so many other electronics systems .
Eventually, the vision is that cars in the future through electronics and nano technology, will become autonomous and communicate with themselves via a wireless network and radio communication (or another method) and be able to drive you to your destination through using intelligent vehicle technologies while you relax. Hmm, I don't know if I feel so secure putting my full trust in my car to get me home quite yet.
Although these systems help to make the car more efficient and reliable, reduce C02 (Carbon Dioxide) emissions and meet many government laws around the world, they also create other problems, which we sometimes forget about.
Do you think all of the electronics in cars are necessary? Why do we need them?
What about the impact it having on small garages who do not have the trained technicians and tools to diagnose and fix your electronics issues?
19 October 2011 10:09 AM
Hi kingsley,
Electronics in cars are a necessary evil I think! They are great until they go wrong or get wet/salty or too hot!
Car manufacturers have significantly increased the quality of connectors over the years (maybe not the same degree as used on minehunters and subs) so reliability has improved.
I think more attention could be paid to system behaviour when a sensor fails, and having dual/triple redundant sensors for more systems where performance is significantly reduced if a sensor/subsystem fails. A good example of this would be an electronic air intake speed sensor on a turbo car. If the thermistors in it fail then the car either does nothing, or enters 'limp' mode - clearly limp mode is preferable, but very inconvenient if you are driving from Scotland to Cornwall.
The other thing is everyone seems more and more 'gadget' oriented and the younger generation seem totally obsessed with mobile phones/smart phones/apps/facebook etc. (IET forums?) so this contributes to the overall complexity of the car electronics with displays on car performance etc. Usually they are separate from the engine management systems I believe so as to have no mutual detrimental influence.
Garages having to upgrade to the 'latest' pods to enable access to the engine management system is a very significant cost - as our local garage would testify. However, more and more diagnostic data is available about how the car has performed and what has been going wrong - which should in an ideal world lead to greater reliability (assuming regular servicing and inspection is occurring) and preventative maintenance before complete failure - maybe?
Just my 2cents...

I think your second-to-last paragraph largely answered the question.
Modern cars are more powerful for the same engine size, while being more economical, producing less pollution and being easier to start on cold mornings.
We have added safety features such as ABS and airbags.
We have useful gadgets such as instrument panels that tell you how many MPG you are getting, or how many miles you can do before running out of fuel.
Why would we want to go back to the 1970's?
S P Barker BSc PhD MIET
19 October 2011 10:56 PM
You are right that modern cars are more much safer with safety features such as ABS, ESP and other real time safety critical systems.
I am not advocating that we go back to the 1970's or we stop adding or using electronics to improve safety, comfort and/or performance for the driver/occupants. Ultimately, as car engineer's safety, comfort, reliability and enhanced performance is what we aim to give to the car user (s).
As engineers, we know that electronics play a major in the world we live in now and it is probably the single biggest growth area in the automotive OEM and Tier 1 supplier industry.
I just mean when you start to examine some of the more advanced electronics system in some cars, you really start to see how complicated they really are. Also, the more electronics added to cars the more things which are likely to go wrong. As a result of more problems the more cash you may be spending to solve these problems. And also with it could mean that the less freedom you have to modify the standard systems car the way you want if then OEM wants.
If you are in Africa or some parts of the Middle East which probably do not produce many cars of their own and import the majority of their cars on the road, when you have electronics issues on your car it becomes more of a burden than it would in this country.
I used to work in my local garage which many of us only had only mechanical skills. Whenever customers came in with electronics problems on their car, we were often were lost on how to solve the issue. We were a small garage and so we did not have many of the equipment needed to diagnose the probelms through the OBD port with an OBD reader. Because we did not have the right equipment which at that time cost in the £1000's we could not help our customers and lost quite a bit of money. Of course things are more different now as already mentioned by eclectica.
I just think that some electronics in cars is put in for convenience) and others are necessary which you and eclectic have both said.
Also, I think what would help which has already been mentioned by eclectica is that they could improve the system behaviour and try to standardize more systems .
19 October 2011 11:02 PM
You are right the modern the generation is a lot more gadget orientated.
Yeah in an ideal world more data gathering of diagnostic information should help the car but only if the person is able to do something with the data.
I am sure it does help when you service and look after your car correctly.
12 January 2012 12:11 AM
I do feel that cars overall are more efficient with built in electronic systems. The elec tronic systems have improved over the years in terms of their reliability.
Typical efficiencies are:
Improvement on fuel consumption
Improvements on CO2 output
Quieter Engines
More power for the same engine size
Safer braking ABS
Safer suspensions (Active Suspension)
Better clear instrumentation
In car communications and safety
SAT Nav
Electronic gearbox
Improved lighting
Incar automation
My big problem is if anything goes wrong in that you need to take it to the garage to be plugged into a diagnostics computer. I do feel that there needs to be more onboard diagnostics systems built into the cars software and electronics, so that the user can be put back in control again and get the problem rectified cheaply. I also feel that they still have not developed diagnostic systems to be totally clear on detecting faults clearly. There needs to be some developement in the diagnostic systems to detect a fault along side the systems, which are becoming more complex especially on prestige cars.
12 January 2012 01:21 PM
One of my previous managers once described me as "dedicated to low-tech". I also used to do all my own car repairs, to the level of stripping down and rebuilding engines. I don't understand any of the cars I've bought in the last 20 years despite being an electronics engineer.
But I still bless the electronic systems in them. My car is 10 years old, my wife's is 14, both have about 180,000 miles on the clock. Both start faultlessly every day. The days when there was a real sense of surprise that a car started first time are long gone. My previous car did have an issue when several sensors failed simultaneously (we believe through a power surge during jump starting). But to be honest my local garage and I got to the bottom of this a darn sight quicker than I ever got to the bottom of the carburration problems on my old Escort. The other surprise, looking back, is that my impression is that servicing prices have actually fallen in real terms since I started driving in the late 1970s (although I wouldn't swear to this, this is based on memories and a back-of-the-envelope calculation).
I can understand the frustration, in my case I often just feel a bit of a fool that I lift the bonnet of my car and have no idea what's going on. But actually the electronics does work incredibally well (particularly given the horrible environment it works in) and does make our lives much easier.
It's a bit like saying should we go back to typewriters, except that computers don't work reliably, but they're still much better than the alternative!

OBD systems are something that certainly could be improved. The trouble is that manufacturers are reluctant to allow owners and uncertified third parties to probe too deeply into their products.
But to be honest my local garage and I got to the bottom of this a darn sight quicker than I ever got to the bottom of the carburration problems on my old Escort.
I used to own a Mk3 Escort with no end of starting and running problems caused by the Ford VV carb. A mechanic replaced it with a Weber that worked wonders in comparison. The best feature of that car was the dashboard lights that warned you that the oil or coolant was low and the brake pads needed replacing.

Heading into its budget season, the Watertown City School District is in a difficult position.
Declining state aid, a dwindling fund balance and the states property tax cap all limit the districts ability to make ends meet as expenses continue to grow each year, according to district Superintendent Terry N. Fralick.
And the new Common Core education standards are not helping.
The financial support from the state is insufficient to really implement the Common Core to the extent that the state expects us to, Mr. Fralick said.
The new standards require teachers to be outside of the classroom more often to attend professional training, and state aid is not sufficient to cover all the costs of new instructional materials called for by the standards.
And thats just the financial aspect, Mr. Fralick said. Theres a time aspect, too.
According to Mr. Fralick, there is a net loss of instructional time in the district as a result of the new standards, which Mr. Fralick called challenging but doable.
Its just that the state is pushing us so fast. Its overwhelming students and teachers and parents, Mr. Fralick said.
The Watertown City School District Board of Education received an update on the districts finances in October when the Watertown accounting firm Poulsen & Podvin CPA presented the results of an annual audit to board members.
According to the audit, the district spent $11 million in reserve fund balance during the 2012-13 fiscal year.
The district needs another $11 million to avoid a big tax increase next year but has only about $6 million left in its coffers, according to Mr. Fralick.
Michael R. Flick, a former board president and current board member, said the board in the past has navigated difficult budget seasons by bumping taxes up by a bearable amount, cutting expenses where possible, changing educational programs and spending down the fund balance a little at a time.
You cant tax your way out of this, Mr. Fralick said. You try to take a balanced approach.
A restoration of state aid is what is really needed to return the district to solvency, Mr. Fralick said.
Board President Cynthia H. Bufalini said that state representatives are listening but that the board is waiting to see real action.
The biggest thing I can say to you is, We are not alone, Mrs. Bufalini said. Its difficult to say where we will be come this spring, but one thing I can tell you is that our constituent base has always been very supportive. ... I think the general population understands too.

Of all the options on what to do about the future of Helper Junior High School, one is not on the table: closing the school.
Although Carbon School Board President Wayne Woodward did comment that a future school board might think differently, his statement that this board wants the HJHS Rams to have a home was enough to draw a round of applause in the school gym Thursday night.
The crowd came to the school to hear the third of three briefings by board members and district officials about the school's future.
At Helper, as at previous sessions in Price and East Carbon, district financial officer Darren Lancaster explained that closing the school and merging with Mont Harmon in Price would not save a significant amount of money.
While the distrrict might save a bit less than $500,000 with the merger, that would be offset by a loss in some $370,000 from state funds for Necessarily Existent Small Schools.
Also, as Superintendent Steve Carlsen noted, filling Mont Harmon would not leave room to accommodate any future enrollment growth.
So the question is where the Rams will call home in the future. The decision that the board and then the voters in Carbon County will have to make is whether to keep the students in their current Depression-era building or build a new one on a bigger lot a few blocks west of Workmen's Market.
Cost of the new building would be between $7- and $9 million, but the district has been saving money and by 2016 it should have half that much in a capital improvement account.
Lancaster noted that the district will also be retiring bonds in 2016 and 2022. That means a property tax increase would probably not be necessary. On the other hand, he said, it would also mean no property tax cut.
Walter Borla, lifelong Helper resident and former school board member, commented that the district should seriously consider keeping the old school open. He noted the $1 million or so in renovations that have been performed in the past decade.
However, responses from board members indicated that the 1936 building is probably not up to modern seismic standards.
