1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to the control of motors, and more particularly, to a motor control providing current limit control as a function of the maximum allowable temperature in the switching devices.
2. Description of the Related Art
A motor control for a brushless DC motor typically produces a current command signal to an input of a pulse width modulator controlling semiconductor switching devices which switch current from a power source to the motor. The switching devices are typically transistor switches. For purposes of this disclosure, "nominal current" shall mean that value of current flow through the switching devices which, over time, produces the maximum allowable switching device temperature. For purposes of this disclosure, "peak current" shall mean the maximum instantaneous current which the switching devices are capable of delivering. Typically, peak current is an integer multiplier of, for example, twice, the nominal current. A current overload is defined by a commanded current in a range between the nominal and peak currents.
Operating the switching devices with a current overload will raise their temperature above the maximum allowable switching device temperature. When this occurs, the switching devices will fail catastrophically. The time required to reach the maximum allowable switching device temperature is a function of the thermal characteristics of the switching device and the heat sink and magnitude of the current overload.
Many applications require that the motor be commanded through a series of rapid changes of velocity which may include reversals in the direction of operation. To achieve the necessary acceleration and deceleration rates, the desired commanded current will substantially exceed more typical operating currents. Design and cost limitations generally require that the size of the transistors and their heat sinks be limited thereby establishing a nominal current that is less than the anticipated maximum current. Therefore, commanding the maximum current required by severe accelerations and decelerations will result in the switching devices being operated at a current overload. In other situations, the motor may be stalled because its load has encountered an obstacle or there is some other unforeseen occurrence inhibiting its motion. When that happens, the servo control loop around the motor will produce a large error signal which in turn will eventually cause the rated peak current to be commanded. That condition must be quickly detected and limited to avoid damage to the switching devices.
Prior motor controls have analog circuits that limit the application of current overloads to protect the transistor switches from overheating. For example, they may limit the period of time that an overload current may be conducted by the transistor switch in proportion to the magnitude of the overload. However, prior art limiting circuits are typically analog circuits that measure the current overload in terms of an Ohm's Law I2 R model. The limiting circuit produces a linear limiting function in which the slope of limiting function is changed as a function of the current overload. Therefore, the period of time the switching device is conducting a current overload is regulated to protect the device from the excessive build-up of heat. A current limit circuit using a linear limiting function has several disadvantages. First, limiting current as a linear time based function to values below the peak current generally underutilizes the capability of the switching device to operate with current overloads. Second, a limiting function changing linearly with time does not accurately respond to either rapidly changing current commands or constant current command values. Such a circuit may limit overloads too quickly yielding suboptimal performance, or not quickly enough thereby permitting the switching device to overheat. Further, it does not permit current overloads to be accurately controlled in accordance with the manufacturer's overload versus time function. Finally, such analog circuits are not easily adjusted from one motor drive to another.
To overcome the disadvantages of existing current limit controls, a primary object of the present invention is to provide a motor drive which regulates current overloads as a function of a more accurate exponential time model of temperature in the switching devices and their heat sinks.
According to the principles of the present invention, a control evaluates a model of the switching device temperature as a function of a calculation of the power dissipated and heat losses in the switching device to determine current limits. The temperature model is based on the following relationship of temperature, power and time: ##EQU1## where Hx =temperature of the switching device,
P(I)=power dissipated in the switching device as a function of the present current command,
t=time in seconds,
Kth =thermal time coefficient of the switching device,
K=normalizing constant
In the time sampled system implementation of the invention, the model is periodically evaluated at update intervals so that it cumulatively represents both the heat effects caused by the present current and the residual heat effects arising from previous currents. The model converges nonlinearly over time to a constant value in response to a constant current. The temperature model uses the thermal time constant and other parameters specific to the switching devices to further enhance its accuracy. In addition, in the sample time implementation, heat effects are averaged over the present and preceding current values.
The calculation of dissipated power used in the temperature model includes two components apportioned to conform the computed power to the characteristics of the actual device. A calculated (I×V) linear component is associated with heating attributable to the product of current through and voltage across the device. A calculated (I2 ×R) nonlinear component is associated with resistive heating of the device's junction and internal connections. The function of the dissipated power P(I) is:
P(I)=power dissipated in the switching device as a function of the current I,
K1 =thermal linearity coefficient, 0≦K1 ≦1, and
In operation, the present invention defaults to a current limit equal to the rated peak current. The temperature model is periodically re-evaluated, and compares the calculated temperature of the switching device and its heat sink as a function of present and prior commanded currents to the maximum allowable temperature. The current limit is set to the nominal current when the calculated switching device temperature reaches or exceeds the maximum allowable switching device temperature. The current limit is reset to the peak current when the switching device temperature falls a predetermined magnitude below the maximum allowable temperature.
The exponential temperature model more accurately reflects the influence of current on switching device temperature and provides an advantage of optimizing the operation of the switching device with a current overload. The model permits switching the current limit between the thresholds of peak and nominal currents, thereby providing a further advantage of maximizing the peak current capability of the switching device. Another advantage is that the thermal time constant, thermal linearity coefficient and other device parameters permit tailoring the current limits to the characteristics of individual switching devices. The model permits switching device operation to better conform to manufacturer's specifications.
These and other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the present disclosure including the accompanying drawings, the detailed description of the invention and the appended claims.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating the process for providing the temperature model of the present invention.
To illustrate the invention, a control implementation of the current limit developed by Cincinnati Milacron Inc., the assignee of the present invention, shall be described in detail. This embodiment of the invention and the description thereof is not intended to be in any way limiting in respect of the scope of the invention which is defined by the appended claims and all equivalents thereof.
The current limit control of the present invention is particularly advantageously adapted to control brushless DC motors used as actuators for effecting motion of moveable machine members along machine axes. In such applications, desired motor performance may vary with the task being performed thereby making it desirable to be able to optimize motor performance to changing requirements.
Referring to FIG. 1, a numerical control system 10 is connected to a motor control 12 which provides an interface between the numerical control 10 and the machine axes' motors 14 and position transducers 15. The numerical control 10 includes: an operator or user interface; machine mechanism interface and control; program storage and edit facilities; machine cycle control; and work piece program processing and path generation control. The operator interface includes a display device 30 such as a CRT or other alphanumeric display device, a manual data entry device such as keyboard 32 and an operator station controller 34. The operator station controller receives data to be displayed and formats the data for the display device 30. Manual data entries from the keyboard 32 are encoded by operator station controller 34 for distribution to other numerical control system elements. Operator station controller 34 enables manual data input in accordance with the active mode of operation of the machine as determined by the cycle control 50.
In addition to manual data input, workpiece programs may be entered into local storage of the control by means of bulk data transfer devices such as, for example a tape reader 36 or a data communication interface 38. Bulk storage of workpiece programs is provided on disk store 40. A program storage and edit controller 42 manages the communication of data from the input devices 36 and 38 to and from the bulk store 40 as well as to and from the operator station controller 34. A workpiece program buffer 44 is provided for active programs, and program instructions are transferred for execution from the buffer 44.
The over all cycle of operation of the numerical control 10 is controlled by the cycle control 50. Cycle control 50 operates as a conventional programmable controller to execute control programs relating machine push buttons, lights, limit switches and mechanisms such as transmissions, tool changers, workpiece transfer devices and so forth and the cycle of operation of the controlled machine. The machine elements are indicated generally by block 52 and are monitored and controlled through a machine input-output interface 54. In control of the cycle of operation of the machine, cycle control 50 effects transfer of workpiece program instructions from the buffer 44 to a block processor 56. Further, cycle control 50 monitors the machine status and effects the appropriate response to error conditions.
Workpiece programs consist of blocks of instructions containing coordinate data, feed rate data, tool data, spindle speed data, miscellaneous function data and cycle control codes. The block processor 56 decodes each block of instructions and distributes the data as appropriate for control of machine functioning. Miscellaneous function, spindle speed and tool data associated with machine functions such as tool selection, transmission speed changes and mechanism control are placed in the data store 58. Coordinate data specifying end points for the machine member axes of motion are placed in the data store 60. Code expander 62 operates on cycle control codes to effect selection of commissioning data from the commissioning data store 64 and to select the desired mode of path generation.
Path generation processor 66 periodically produces coordinate axis position commands for position command update intervals in accordance with the machine operations specified by the active workpiece program instructions. The position commands produced by path generation processor 66 reflect the rate of change of position of all machine axes as defined by the programmed coordinates, feed rates, and cycle commands.
In applicants' preferred embodiment communication between the motor control 12 and NC systems processors 18 is accomplished over a data bus conforming to the IEEE 796-88 signal specification for the P1 connector. Data entered under control of the operation station controller 34 or from the workpiece program as well as data from commissioning data store 64 are all available over the data bus 26 to the motor control 12.
Within the motor control 12, FIG. 1 schematically illustrates the functional elements used to effect current limit control of a single motor, and those functional elements are duplicated for each motor being controlled. During position command update intervals, the motor control 12 receives input position command signals from the numerical control 10 on line 70. Changes in the position command signals define desired velocities of machine members (not shown) connected to the machine axes' motors 14. A subspan interpolator 71 interpolates subspans of a commanded position represented by the position command signals. In response to the output data from a position transducer 15 connected to a machine axis motor 14, a position feedback generator 73 determines the measured position of the motor. A position error is produced by algebraically suturing the subspans of the commanded position and the measured position of the motor.
A velocity command is produced by modifying the position error as a function of the position loop gain Kv at block 77. The velocity of the motor is determined by velocity feedback generator 79 in response to the feedback from position transducer 15. A velocity error is produced by algebraically summing the velocity command and the velocity of the motor. The motion requirements of the motor as represented by the velocity command are used by the motor velocity control 82 to compute a required current command on line 83.
A current limiter 84 receives a current limit signal on line 85 from the numerical control 10 and compares the current limit to the required current command. If the required current command is less than the current limit, the computed required current command is output as a current command signal to the current control 88. If the required current command is greater than the current limit, the required current command is clipped at the limit value to produce a limited current command signal on line 86. The current command signals output of the current limiter on line 86 are fedback to the numerical control 10. In addition, if the required current command is subjected to a limit, the current limiter sets a current limit exceeded flag on line 87 which is fedback to the motor velocity control 82 and the numerical control 10.
Commutation pattern control signals and pulse width modulated switching transistor control signals representing the current command signals and commutation control signals are produced by the current control 88 to control the switching transistors in the power block 16. The current command signals are preferably produced by digitally implemented position and velocity control loops operating in response to the position command signals received from the numerical control 10 during the position command update intervals.
A detailed description of the circuitry used for applying power to the stator coils for each of the controlled motors shall be given with reference to FIG. 2. A brushless DC motor such as machine axes' motors 14 includes a network of three distributed stator windings connected in, for example, a conventional wye configuration to terminals U, V, and W. Current may be conducted through a desired combination of the stator windings by providing a current path between a DC power supply and the appropriate combination of the terminals U, V, and W. The desired combination is determined from the sextant data contained in the commutation pattern control.
As is conventional, power may be derived from a source of three phase AC current which is rectified and filtered. In the preferred embodiment, three phase power is rectified by the network of diodes 346 through 356 and filtered by capacitor 358 to produce a DC voltage having a positive polarity at line 342. A DC current return is provided by line 344 (the lines 342 and 344 are referred to collectively as the power rails of the power block module 16).
Current is applied to the motor terminals through a network of switching transistors 330 through 340 which are physically mounted on heat sink 17 of power block 16. Transistor pairs 330 and 332; 334 and 336; and, 338 and 340 provide source and return switches for, respectively terminals U, V, and W of motor 138. It will be appreciated that for each transistor pair, it is intended that only one transistor be conducting at any time to provide a path for DC current between, alternatively, the lines 342 and 344, and the motor terminal. Each transistor is switched between its conducting and nonconducting conditions by means of conventional isolation circuits 360 through 370 providing signal isolation between low level control signals and the currents switched. Applicants have chosen isolation circuits including optical couplers and base drive circuitry for the switching transistors.
Control of current in the stator windings is achieved by pulse width modulation of voltage applied by the switching transistors. Pulse width modulation is effected in response to the current commands and measured stator currents derived from current sampling shunt resistors 372 and 374. These resistors produce voltages representative of the magnitude of current through the stator windings. Interface circuits 376 and 378 convert the amplitude analogue representation of motor current appearing across shunt resistors 372 and 374, respectively, to pulse width modulated representations and provide transformer isolation for transferring the measured motor current signals in pulse width modulated form to the motor control 12. The frequency of pulse-width modulation of the current feedback signals is such that the modulation does not introduce significant time lag into the representation of motor current. The instantaneous states of the switching transistor control signals is determined by the sextant data of the commutation pattern control and pulse width modulation control signals generated to maintain a desired stator winding current. The control signals are generated in pairs and have a delay period introduced to allow for the transition time between conducting and nonconducting states of the switching transistors 330 through 340.
To provide effective current limit control, the present invention evaluates models of the temperature of the switching transistors for machine axes' motors as a nonlinear function of present and prior commanded currents for the motors and an exponential function of time. The temperature in the switching devices and the heat sinks is modeled in the control as a single pole low pass filter of the form ##EQU2## where ##EQU3## The time domain response to a step input of current is: ##EQU4## where Hx =temperature of the switching device,
P(I)=power dissipated in the switching device as a function of the present current command signal,
t=time in seconds, and
Kth =thermal time constant of the switching device, in this case, the time required to reach 63.2% of the maximum allowable switching device temperature at nominal current.
K=normalizing constant
Over time, the nominal current, Inom, will produce a temperature value asymptotically approaching the maximum allowable temperature, Hmax, in the switching device. In other words, for I=Inom, as t approaches infinity, Hx will approach Hmax. Therefore, ##EQU5## and Equation (1) may be rewritten as follows: ##EQU6## where Hr =temperature ratio comparing switching device temperature to its maximum allowable temperature,
P(Inom)=power dissipated in the switching device as a function of the nominal current.
Therefore, the transfer function is: ##EQU7## Using the pole-zero mapping technique [z=e.sup.(s×T) ],
The pole at ##EQU8## maps to ##EQU9## where T=sample interval time of the temperature model.
The zero at s=infinity is mapped to z=-1. Therefore, the z transform of the temperature model is ##EQU10## where G equals the gain required to match the gains of the discrete and continuous temperature models. Matching the steady state output for a step input (s=0, z=1) gives ##EQU11## Let ##EQU12## Therefore, equation (2) may be rewritten as: ##EQU13## The discrete difference equation is: ##EQU14## where n=the current sample interval time of the temperature model,
(n-1)=the preceding sample interval time of the temperature model,
P(In)=power dissipated in the device as a function of the present current command signal,
P(In-1)=power dissipated in the device as a function of the preceding current command signal, ##EQU15## G=a second filter coefficient, and (Hr)n-1 =heat ratio value calculated for the preceding current command signal.
G and Ke are constants which are determined as a function of the thermal time constant Kth and include scaling factors to normalize the temperature ratio. The dependency of the model constants G and Ke on the thermal time constant Kth helps the model conform to the thermal characteristics of the switching devices being used. Therefore, the thermal time constant helps provide a more accurate temperature model.
As will be appreciated, a different mapping technique may be used to produce a different solution. Alternatively, the zero at s=infinity is mapped to z=0. Therefore, the z transform of the temperature model is ##EQU16## where G' equals the gain required to match the gains of the discrete and continuous temperature models. Matching the steady state output for a step input (s=0, z=1) gives ##EQU17## Let ##EQU18## Therefore, equation (2) may be rewritten as: ##EQU19## The discrete difference equation is: ##EQU20##
With either implementation of the model, the control strategy defines a temperature ratio which compares a calculated value of the present switching device temperature based on the model of equation (1) to the maximum allowable switching device temperature. The current limit is defaulted to the peak current value; and when the control detects that the temperature ratio equals or exceeds unity, the current limit is set to the nominal current value. The current limit thresholds are controlled as a function of the switching device temperature thereby optimizing the current overload performance of the switching device.
The above implementation of the model of equation (1) is a comparison of the calculated switching device temperature generated by the present and prior commanded current values to the maximum allowable temperature in the switching device. In contrast to the prior art, the implementations of temperature model defined by equations (3) and (4) represent switching device temperature as an exponential function of time. Given a constant current, the value of the temperature ratio calculated with those implementations will nonlinearly converge to a constant value. If the current signal goes to zero, the values of the temperature ratios will decrease.
In the preferred embodiment, power is computed by periodically summing two power components. A first power component is periodically calculated as a linear function of a current command signal and represents the nearly linear relationship of power to current resulting from a fixed voltage drop across the switching device which is independent of the current. A second power component is periodically calculated as a nonlinear function of the current command signal and represents the resistive heating of the device's internal connections. Therefore, the computation of power may be made to conform with the characteristics of the switching devices being used as follows:
P(I)=power dissipated in the switching device as a function of the current I,
K1 =thermal linearity coefficient, 0≦1≦K1,
K1 may be chosen to match the characteristics of the particular switching devices being used. Therefore, using equation (5) to compute P(In), P(In-1) and P(Inom), the model will provide a more accurate representation of temperature rise in the switching device when it is operating with a current overload.
A current limit signal is produced by the numerical control which has a magnitude defaulted to a value representing the peak current value. If the periodic evaluation of the model calculates that the present switching device temperature value equals or exceeds the maximum allowable temperature, the magnitude of the current limit signal is set to a value equal to the nominal current. The motor control 12 limits the current through the switching device as a function of the current limit signal. When subsequent periodic model evaluations result in the present switching device temperature having a magnitude less than the maximum allowable temperature value, the current limit signal is reset to the magnitude representing the peak current value.
More specifically, as long as the value calculated of the temperature ratio is less than unity, the switching device temperature is not equal to or greater than the maximum allowable temperature; and the current limit for the current command signals is maintained at the peak current. If the calculated ratio is equal to or exceeds unity, the model is indicating the maximum or an excessive switching device temperature value; and the current limit is reduced to the nominal current. The current limit is returned to the peak current value after the ratio achieves a predetermined value less than unity. If the numerical control detects that a motor is exceeding any current limit for a predetermined period of time, the switching devices are turned OFF, thereby terminating operation of the motor.
Depending on the hardware available, the temperature models may be primarily executed in either the numerical control 10 or the motor control 12. In the preferred embodiment, a temperature model of the switching device for each motor is evaluated within the path generation processor 66 in the numerical control 10 using data from a temperature model data store 61. In the normal course of its operation, the numerical control will execute a major configuration routine which is used to initialize the control and establish operating constants and parameters. In implementing the present invention, the major configuration routine is used to determine the values of the parameters of peak current Ipk, nominal current Inom, power dissipated at nominal current P(Inom), sample interval time of the temperature model T, filter coefficients Ke and G; and the values of those parameters are stored in the temperature model data store 61. Those parameters may be determined by reading data directly from the commissioning data store 64 which data was previously entered based on manufacturer specifications or otherwise determined. Other parameters may be calculated based on the previously recited expressions and data read from the commissioning data store 64. Alternatively, the constants may be chosen by a modification of the above techniques or arbitrarily. The value of P(Inom) representing power as a function of the nominal current value is computed using equation (5) as follows:
P(Inom)=(K1 ×Inom)+(K2 ×Inom 2)(6)
Consequently, except for the values represented by the current command signals, after the major configuration routine, the numerical control has available in the temperature model data store all parametric values necessary to evaluate the temperature model.
The numerical control calculates new position data during position command update intervals, and the new position data is transferred to the motor control at the end of each update interval. Again depending on the implementation of the numerical control and the motor control, all of the temperature models for each of the motors may be updated during each position command update interval. Alternatively, only one model may be updated during one position command update interval, and other models are successively updated during subsequent intervals. The present embodiment uses the latter approach.
Although the position command update interval is constant for each motor configuration, it may differ from configuration to configuration depending on the number of motors being controlled. The temperature models have a relatively large time constant, and the models should be evaluated often enough to provide a good representation of temperature changes. The position command update interval and the sample interval time of the temperature model are established during the execution of the major configuration routine, and the sample interval time of the temperature model will typically be an integer multiple of the position command update interval. In the preferred embodiment, the major configuration routine establishes the sample interval time of the temperature model in a range of from 50 milliseconds to 80 milliseconds.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a process for implementing the evaluation of the temperature model of the present invention. The process of FIG. 3 is replicated for each motor, and the process is executed after the generation of new position command data for that motor in the path generation processor 66 of the numerical control 10. At step 402, the process checks the temperature interval timer to determine whether it is time to recalculate the model. If not, at step 404, the temperature interval timer is decremented by the magnitude of the position command update interval.
At step 406, the process determines whether the current command for the switching device for this motor has been clipped by the current limiter. By reading the state of the current limit exceeded flag in the temperature model data store 61, the numerical control can determine if a motor is in a current limit condition. If a current limit condition does not exist, a limit timer is reset at process step 408, and the process ends.
Assume that during the next position command update interval, the process at step 402 determines that the sample interval timer of the temperature model for that motor has timed out. At step 410, the timer is reset; and at step 412, the present current command value is read from the temperature model data store 61. With the preferred equation (3) implementation of the temperature model of equation (1), at step 414, using equation (5), the ratio of present power value as a function of the present current command signal In to nominal power is calculated as follows: ##EQU21## The remaining terms of equation (3) are either constants which were stored in the temperature model data store 61 or are values which were calculated and stored during the preceding temperature model update interval, for example, the ratio of P(In-1) to P(Inom) and the prior heat ratio (Hr)n-1. Therefore, at step 415, the value for the present heat ratio (Hr)n may be calculated. The ratio compares the present temperature value of the switching device as a function of the thermal time constant and the present and prior current command signals to the maximum allowable temperature in the switching device as established by the nominal current value.
At step 418, the control determines whether the switching device temperature value is at or exceeds the maximum calculated temperature by determining whether the temperature ratio is equal to or greater than unity. If it is, at step 420, an overheat flag is set within the numerical control; and a current limit signal is set to a first magnitude representing a current limit that is equal to the nominal current value. The motor control 12 responds to the first magnitude of the current limit signal by limiting subsequent current command signals to a maximum equal to the nominal current value Inom. Therefore, the motor load, acceleration and deceleration requirements or other conditions cannot cause the motor control 12 to produce a current command representing a current overload.
The nominal current limit is maintained over subsequent executions of the process of FIG. 3 until the switching device temperature drops to a value less than the maximum allowable switching device temperature. When a subsequent iteration results in a calculated temperature ratio less than unity, the process at step 421 checks the status of the overheat flag. If the flag is not set, the process moves to step 406. If the overheat flag is set, the process at step 422 determines whether the temperature ratio has a value less than or equal to 0.97×Inom. If it does, at step 424, the numerical control resets the overheat flag and provides a current limit signal magnitude equal to the peak current value. During the next position command update interval, the motor control returns the current limit to the default value of the peak current; and current command signals are limited to a maximum value equal to the peak current value.
Therefore, the current is limited between threshold values defined by the values of the nominal and peak currents. The hysteresis loop prevents the current limit from oscillating between the nominal and peak current values in response to small changes in the value of the temperature ratio around unity. The constant of 0.97 is an arbitrary value, and other values may be chosen which provide the desired system response.
Process at step 406 determines whether the motor associated with the temperature model being evaluated is in a limit condition. Motor velocity commands may result in a required current values in excess of the present current limit, whether nominal or peak. If that is the case, the current limit exceeded flag set by the motor control 12 is used by the numerical control at process step 406. The control will only tolerate a current limit condition for a very short period of time, for example, 200 milliseconds. If a current limit condition is detected, at step 426, the 200 milliseconds limit timer is decremented by the magnitude of the sample interval time of the temperature model. If the current limit condition for that motor continues, during a subsequent time interval, the limit timer will time out as detected at step 428. The process at step 430 causes the numerical control to set a flag for the motor control 12 to shut OFF power to the transistor switches, thereby terminating the operation of the motor. The 200 millisecond interval is established to permit transient peak current requirements that may be required by reversals in motor direction or other hard acceleration changes. However, if the 200 millisecond limit is reached, it is assumed that a motor is stalled, and potential damage to the switching devices is imminent. Time periods other than 200 milliseconds may be chosen to accommodate different switching devices or circumstances.
It should also be noted that although the described current limit strategy switches the current limit between the nominal and peak current values, other current limit strategies may be implemented. For example, the current limit may be switched between other current values. In addition, the current limit may be changed as a function of the change in the magnitude of switching device temperature value or the temperature ratio value.
While the invention has been illustrated in some detail according to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, and while the preferred embodiments have been described in some detail, there is no intention to thus limit the invention to such detail. On the contrary, it is intended to cover all modifications, alterations, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Chevrolet Caprice Reviews
Chevrolet Caprice Reviews and Owner Comments
I have a 1994 caprice and its the best car I have ever had. I have had a 1977 and 1980 and 1988 model and this is by far the best I have had. I have had it for almost three years and just the other week I had to replace the water pump, but before that and so far she ran and runs like a champ and purrs like a kitten, quieter than a sewing machine. so in love cant wait to put a little money in her and turn it into a street monster.
i let this car sit up for a year now im putting it back on the road but it seems to have a knocking nosie in the motor what could be my problem.
my 94 caprice is acting up it will run just fine for about 15 min then just die and wont start again until it cools off and does the same thing
I own a 1994 Chevy Caprice. I brought it with a bad transmission 3 years ago and rode that transmission for 3 months. I love these cars so much I started a club called The Bowtie Boys we now run around with a 1991,1992,1993, and 2 1994 Caprice. These cars are true classics
i have had a 1994 caprice for over 2 1/2 years now the best car i have ever had the only thing i have had to change on it was the radiator $145 for it and i did the labor myself in about an hour and a half it has 192k on it and it seems to be running likes its brand new i really wish they made cars these days like they use to then
Greatest year of Caprice- 1996! Of course, I am biased because I own that year. However, I do suggest you not go to southern florida looking for hard to find parts. I went to the wrecking yard to find a fender from where some jerk hit me while parked. THERE WERE NONE TO BE FOUND. The only complaints I have are electronic distributor being underneath the water pump. HELLO???? It's way worse than carbon tracking! Not to mention the amount of time it takes to pull that sucker out yourself, because (let's face it) shops are a arm, leg, and two eyebrows. My second would be the scissor tracks guides for the windows. My front window suddenly sunk foward and jammed in the door. Pain in the ass to fix going eighty on the highway!!!! Secondly, if any of your doors take a ding from another vechicle or gas station pump barrier, say good bye to those track guides. Otherwise, I love kicking butt on the open road in my baby!
I love my 1987 Caprice (Police Package). I've had it for 20 years, and it has 306,000 miles on it. It's solid, easy to fix, and VERY roomy.
I'm on my forth Caprice. My latest car had only 26K miles on it when I purchased it. Now at 44K miles,2 yrs later. All of my cars have been trouble free. Two cars were 9C1 models,ex police cars with around 100K miles when bought. One 9C1 had over 260K miles when I sold it,it still ran great,used no oil. These 9C1's were ran hard by the PD and me as well,I would not have a problem going cross country in any of them. These cars with the LT1 V8 were the fasted PD car of its time,properly equipped could run 145 MPH + all day long,not even breaking a sweat. Some PD officers called them a 4 door Corvette since the LT1 was also used in the Corvette and could handle corners like a sports car. Two engines were available in the '94-'96 cars. A 4.3 liter V8 and the 5.7 liter LT1 V8. If looking for a Caprice,choose the LT1,you'll be much happier since the Caprice is such a heavy car. The civi models came with any option one could want. The cars are very comfortable and could tow a pretty good size trailer properly equipped. One can expect Hwy fuel mileage as high as 27 mpg, I usually get 24 mpg if I take it easy at 65-70 mph. These cars are not without its quirks. The Optispark (distributor) tends to go bad and is expensive to replace, and is mounted on the lower front of the engine where water causes issues. Replacement R&R can cost between $750-as high as $1000 depending upon the repair shop. If kept dry,its pretty dependable. Also the plastic rollers on the window tracks go bad causing the windows unable to roll up. My latest Caprice has both rear window track rollers bad,even at 44K miles. Higher mileage cars tend to develop problems with the digital dash. GM has stopped making lots of parts and the aftermarket doesn't carry some parts causing a person to visit wrecking yards. Low mileage cars are getting harder to find as well as rust free cars. I have nothing bad to report on the Caprice,other then GM shouldn't have stopping making them.
good cheap dependable car fun to drive goes anywhere
I traded a Blazer straight across for this car and have had it for a year and a half now. It is very sound and stable, handles well at any speed, gets about 28 MPG on the highway and 20 MPG in town.
I have a 1991 9C1 police package version. I have 241,000 miles on this car and she is still going strong. If your looking for a fuel efficient car, this one is not for you.
Handle well but the engines seems to vibrabe at high speed

A smart base view for Backbone apps, to make it easy to bind collections and properties to the DOM.
A set of common helpers and conventions for using as a base view for backbone applications.
It adds:
npm install strictview
Nothing special is required, just use
StrictView in the same way as you would Backbone.View:
var MyView = StrictViewextend ;
var MyView = StrictViewextend // set a `template` property of your view. This can either be // a function that returns an HTML string or just a string if // no logic is required. template: myTemplateFunction textBindings: // the model property: the css selector name: 'li a' // method for rendering the view's template and binding all // the model properties as described by `textBindings` above. // You can also bind other attributes, and if you're using // strictmodel, you can bind derived properties too. thisrenderAndBindwhat: 'some context object for the template'; ;
Binding types:
classBindings: Maintains a class on the element according to the following rules:
textBindings: Maintains the current value of the property as the text content of the element specified by the selector.
htmlBindings: Just like
textBindings except html is not escaped.
srcBindings: Binds to the
src attribute (useful for avatars, etc).
hrefBindings: Binds to the
href attribute.
inputBindings: Binds to the
input value.
attributeBindings: Lets you create other arbitrary attributes bindings. For examlpe:
this would bind the model's
id attribute to the
data-id attribute of the span element.
js var View = StrictView.extend({ template: '

', attributeBindings: { // model property name : [ 'css selctor', 'attribute name'] id: ['span', 'data-thing'] } });
StrictView includes a
renderCollection method that works as follows:
// some view for individual items in the collection var ItemView = StrictViewextend ; // the main view var MainView = StrictViewextend template: '

' // render our template as usual thisrenderAndBind; // call renderCollection with these arguments: // 1. collection // 2. which view to use for each item in the list // 3. which element within this view to use as the container // 4. options object (not required): // { // // function used to determine if model should be included // filter: function (model) {}, // // boolean to specify reverse rendering order // reverse: false, // // view options object (just gets passed to item view's `initialize` method) // viewOptions: {} // } thisrenderCollectionthiscollection ItemView this$'.itemContainer'0 opts; return this;
That will maintain this collection within that container element. Including proper handling of add, remove, sort, reset, etc. You can optionally specify a filter function or choose to reverse the collection when rendering.
Also, when the parent view gets
.remove()'ed any event handlers registered by the individual item views will be properly removed as well.
Each item view will only be
.render()'ed once (unless you change that within the item view itself).
Why yes! So glad you asked :)

Arches National Park Things to Do Tips by Trekki Top 5 Page for this destination
Arches National Park Things to Do: 396 reviews and 757 photos
Most RecentBest Rated
close to Park Avenue
As Arches NP is spread out on quite a huge area, and the famous rock formations are not within a short reach, you will not be able to see all of them during only one day of visit. Some even require a longer hike to see their full beauty.
So I'll mark all sights in my tips in the heading, if they can be seen by just a short car stop or if you need to hike around.
It's maybe best to decide beforehand, which landmarks you want to see and which trails you want to hike, plus some extra time, as the scenery is just too beautiful to rush through. Otherwise you end up like me in winter – being in Devils Garden at nearing sunset.
Address: Arches NP
Phone: (435)719-2299
Sheep Rock in the middle
Coming from the visitor center, and drive around the big wall on your left, you will start to gasp in amazement of the view that opens up to you. Left hand side, you will see the famous Park Avenue, with it's gorgeous walls and rock formations.
Get off the car and do a small hike - either do the full trail or stroll just a bit inside to get closer to the rocks.
Even from here, at the southern entrance of this part called Park Avenue - as it resembles a city skyline, frozen in red rock - you will get the first impression of what Arches "is all about". You will see a small wash, flanked by huge sheer walls, and already some funny formations, which all got their special names.
On my first visit to Arches, we got off at the northern parking spot, and had a look down into Park Avenue - which was also very rewarding.
Address: Arches NP
Directions: Just some miles north of Visitor Center and park entrance
Phone: (435)719-2299
Closer view of Three Gosspis and Sheep Rock
If you have some time, you should definitely stroll the 1,5 km (1 mile) through the wash, which leads through Park Avenue to end up at Courthouse Towers. It is well marked, the first part being paved by now (to be seen on one of the pics), slightly descending to the north. Plase take in mind that this is not a round trip, so you either need to hike back, or you need to have your car somehow parked at the Courthouse Tower parking area.
However, the hike is worth doing, as this is the only place in the park, where you are surrounded by these very high walls, which even tell you a bit on the geologic strata that are present in Arches NP, and make you feel very small in terms of height and age. Here, in Park Avenue, eternity did not yet carve as much as in the other parts, and so just have a close look on the walls and imagine that there will be arches in some more years (hundred thousand years, but… :-) )
You'll come along the Courthouse Towers, you will see Sheep Rock, The Organ, Tower of Babel and much more fascinating formations which not yet have a name. Without a stop, the one way trip would take you 25-30 minutes – but count in more, as there is much to see.
Best done either in the morning or in the late afternoon, as it will be not as hot – take in account that the Park Avenue walls are running north-south, thus will provide a bit of shade in mornings and afternoons. Also, the play of light and shadow is much more exciting then.
Fascinating views of the hike can be seen on the Terraserver Aerial View - on the bottom of the picture, the tiny white dots are the cars at the southern parking lot, from where the path leads direction north. Just look at the big wall on the eastern side to get an idea of how it looks from the air :-)
On their website, Arches NP rates this hike as moderate, probably because it is not a round trip one. I found it quite easy, though.

Directions: Just some miles north of park entrance

Three Gosspis – as seen from the road
Oh well – remember the movie "Thelma and Louise", when the girls wake up in the car somewhere out in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by marvellous landscape ? This is where they've been – though I never understood how they managed to drive through the entrance gate in the middle of the night (looool).
Three gossips are for me the most funniest rock formation in Arches, as they really look like a bunch of old ladies, frozen in Entrada sandstone, sharing the newest gossip who came, who went along the main road of Arches NP :-).
Easily seen and photographed from the main road – however, you only get their back sight. Better make a stop on your way out of the park to see them really gossiping (last pic).
Address: Arches NP
Directions: Just north of Park Avenue - on the left (west) side of the main road
Phone: Tel: (435)719-2299
The Organ
Another good example for "early Arches NP geology" is The Organ, just north of Park Avenue trail, on the eastern side of the main road.
It nicely shows how the rock strata had been grown and solid packed over the aeons, the horizontal cracks between the strata and the layers, which will widen up over the next aeons, to form the next generation arches :-)
Address: Arches NP
Directions: Just north of Park Avenue, on the right (eastern) side of Main Road
Phone: Tel: (435)719-2299
Balanced Rock
Next, we'll pass the famous Balanced Rock, on the eastern side of the main road. A little parking lot animates to get off the car and walk around this fascinating formation on the half km round trip.
It looks as if the gods have just made a short break in playing football and have placed their ball on a pedestal. And although it seems as if the ball will topple down in the next second, it won't do it for a long time - as the strata are much different and thus undergo different speed in erosion. The "ball" has been formed out of Entrada slickrock sandstone, which is of finer grains and thus more packed together. Therefore, erosion will result in much more rounded forms. In contrary, Navajo sandstone, the pedestal, contains more thicker grains, which is eroded in much rougher manner. Both sandstones are separated by the even more eroded light pink soft layer of Dewey bridge bed.
Address: Arches NP
Directions: Approx. 15 km north of park entrance, on the right (eastern) side of the main road.
Phone: Tel: (435)719-2299
Parade of Elephants - and La Sal Mountains
Just off Balanced Rock, a side trip can be made to the Parade of Elephants and the Windows Section. However, I catched a glimpse on the Parade of Elephants from my hike around Balanced Rock.
In the back of the picture – the La Sal Mountain range. Maybe, some of the pinnacles have been arches in the past – some of them look at least as if they once have been connected with a "bridge".
Address: Arches NP
Directions: Approx. 16 km north of park entrance, make a right (eastward) turn at the junction.
Phone: Tel: (435)719-2299
Fins - of Fiery Furnace
Heading further north from Balanced Rock on the main road, we will pass the famous Fiery Furnace on our left (east). They are a dazzling labyrinth of Entrada sandstone fins, which form narrow canyons.
There are no marked trails in there, and if you want to explore them, better do it with the offered ranger tours. Otherwise, you might get lost. I never was hiking around in them, but plan it for the next trip.
To appreciate the amazing big Fiery Furnace, please check the Aerial view of Terraserver.
Address: Arches NP
Directions: Approx. 20 km north of park entrance on the right (eastern) side of the main road.
Phone: Tel: (435)719-2299
Pine Tree Arch
Heading further on, we come to the tailhead of Devils Garden. This is starting point for one of Arches NP's wonders - Landscape Arch. Leave your car at the big parking lot at the trailhead.
On the short hike to Landscape Arch, there are two other arches on the right (eastern) side - Tunnel Arch and Pine Tree Arch.
Pine Tree Arch got it's name from the little pinon pine which decided to grow just in it's opening. Through the opening, you have a wonderful view to the northeast, La Sal Mountains in the very distance. Take your time, and step through the arch to see 2 fins just close by, which might also have been an arch in the past, who got worn away by erosion (pic 3 and 4).
Address: Arches NP
Directions: Approx. 30 km north of park entrance. Get off the car at the parkground and hike around 20 minutes, until you see Pine Tree Arch on your right (eastward) side.
Phone: Tel: (435)719-2299
Entrance to Devils Garden trail
After the visit at Landscape arch, Devils Garden trail continues, however, a bit more difficult now. The trail is no longer broad and easy to hike, but leads up and down across some wild terrain. However - there are minimum 6 arches more to discover, and also the scenery is much more beautiful and magic. And it's definitely less crowded.
The most prominent trail leads direction north and passes along Navajo Arch, Partition Arch, Wall Arch up to Double-O-Arch, followed by a side trip to Dark Angel (not an arch, but a lonesome pinnacle). The trail back from Double-O-Arch is either on the same path, or through a primitive trail, to see Private Arch and the Fin Canyon , which will meet the main trail close to Landscape Arch.
We only went up to Navajo Arch, as with all the hikes before, it was already getting dark most of the time.
Pic 1, 2 and 3 show the "entrance" of the trail, just after Landscape Arch, pic 4 the beautiful endless view back to the east.
Additionally, I've attached a cutout from the hiking book - with the locations of the arches within Devils Garden:

11: Sand Dune Arch
12: Skyline Arch
The whole trail from parking lot on is around 10 km, and will take minimum 5 hours, inlcuding all pictures and sightseeing.
Don't start the whole trail too late, as the north of Devils Garden is quite narrow (compared to the open land around Landscape Arch), and sunlight is missing for photography.
Address: Arches NP
Directions: Approx. 30 km north of park entrance, leave your car at the parking ground, and hike Devils Garden trail.

How to Massage your Head
Massage is an old, revered and proven form of healing from headache and mental stress and it has been in practice from hundreds of years. Along with healing, relaxing and revitalizing a human being, it also provides warmth and reassurance to the person suffering from pain. Massage should be done by an expert or in the right method. The style of massage differs from one body part to another. The sequence of massage movements also varies and so it is important to learn about the right way to massage your head when you have a headache.
How to Massage your Head
Self massage is the simplest and most effective way of relieving headache.
- Sit in a relaxed position on a sofa or reclining chair. Make yourself comfortable.
- Try to keep the light as dim as possible in the room. This is because bright light can increase your headache.
- Start massaging from the back of your ears and make use of your fingertips. Move your fingers slowly in a circular motion.
- Place your hands on both sides of your head and press gently. You can move back and forth there remaining in the same position or sliding down one inch and going up the same amount. Try to move your head instead of sliding your fingers.
- Repeat the same style and sequence of movement in the back of your neck at the base of your skull.
- Continue this massaging technique till you slowly move and cover your entire head.
- The areas that you feel are more tensed and in severe pain, you can apply the acupressure technique. You can grasp the skin of that area in between your thumb and forefinger and squeeze it for 5 – 6 seconds and release it. Release the pressure for 10 seconds without removing your fingers from there. You can do this for few minutes till you feel relaxed.
The head massage is very beneficial in mental and emotional stress and it releases sprain in your head completely. The massage can be with dry hands and you can use oil for the massage also. Massaging with oil will help in nourishing your hair too. It relieves pain, but also relaxes the muscles as well as improves blood circulation in head. People believe that it improves memory power also.
Proper and regular head massage helps in improved health of the hair, prevents premature graying and balding, improves eyesight as well as concentration. The only thing that one should keep in mind is to apply pressure according to individual needs. If any person is suffering from any kind of disease, the pressure should be gentle. It is good to massage the neck and shoulder areas along with the head, as this will bring relief from the stress. People suffering from migraine, vertigo, insomnia, depression or any kind of headache will find relief from head massage.As the head massage is very beneficial, it is important to do it in the right way. Make sure you either learn the correct method of massaging or get it done by a professional. A good head massage will not only relieve you from any kind of headache and nourish your hair, but also calm down your nervous system. It clears away areas of negativity and helps the person have clear thinking also.

Quick question
I'm swapping an old domain controller for a newer system. The existing server is an x86 install of Windows Server 2k8 and I am moving all of the company's system to an x64 2008 R2 SP1 system.
Will I be able to cold connect the system to the network, create a peer domain, and copy all of the existing active directory and DNS settings over (minus DHCP, DFS, etc etc that's already configured) or will I run into an issue because one is an x86 install and the new install is x64.
I'm trying to prestage as much as possible without having to configure everything over.

Franklin - Police are seeking a 30-year-old Waukesha man who led officers on a high-speed chase during the early morning hours of Christmas Day.
According to the Franklin police log:
Officers began pursuing a maroon 1996 Chrysler Concorde after the driver suddenly turned off his headlights and started speeding in the 7800 block of West Imperial Drive, shortly after 2:30 a.m. Dec. 25. The pursuit ended when officers lost sight of the vehicle in the 8200 block of West Winston Way.
At 3:14 a.m. police received word that the car was discovered in the back yard in the 8200 block of West Winston Way. The driver had apparently hit the curb at the dead end of Winston Way and continued driving onto a residential property. The car struck a window well and electric meter on the west side of a home before crashing into a brush pile in the back yard.
The driver, a 30-year-old Waukesha man, was not in the vehicle and officers were unable to find him.

Beth Dooley's pan roasted radishes: celebrity dish
Beth Dooley is a food lovin' gal about town. The author of several cookbooks, including Savoring the Seasons of the Northern Heartland --co-written with restaurateur Lucia Watson--her mastery of cooking with the freshest local ingredients, as well as her warm and rich writing style, are highlighted in both her blog, Seasonal Appetites, and her writing for Mpls./St. Paul Magazine.
Here Dooley takes radishes, an ingredient that sometimes feels limited in creative options, and makes a dish that is simple, fresh, and new.
The rose amidst the olives and a peppery taste of spring, the radish is too often prized more for looks than flavor. But these pretty garnet orbs, when roasted, become a much different vegetable, indeed. Buttery tender, with a slightly bitter edge, they're great alongside grilled chicken, tossed into pasta or spooned atop bruschetta, and even better picked with your fingers right out of the pan.
Pan Roasted Radishes
Serves 2 to 4 (easily doubled or tripled)
1 bunch of small radishes
4 whole garlic cloves, peeled
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese, or more to taste
Sauté ingredients over medium-high heat until the garlic is soft and sweet and the radishes' skin becomes slightly translucent. Remove from heat and garnish with freshly grated parmesan cheese. Serve hot or at room temperature; as an appetizer over bruschetta or as a side dish.

Down a penny or two every day; day after day. Starts to add up and get real old. That's often the time to buy, right when everyone is totally sick of it. Gotta admit, I'm pretty sick of it but hanging in for the long term.
I guess we didn't really need to worry about dilution from those conversion rights at $1.55
Drip, Drip..... the torture will continue if there is no news. No news = bad news
It's only torture for those who have a very narrow idea about what news is and where news comes from. If your definition of "news" is a company press release announcing a new contract, it's been a long, tortuous quarter. If it's new information about trends/events that impact the company's near- and long-term potential for growth, there has been quite a bit of positive news this quarter.

Downtown in December marks start of second decade in Oklahoma City
With tens of thousands of visitors expected to enjoy 22 events planned next month as part of Downtown in December, some may be blissfully unaware of a time not long ago when such merriment was in short supply.
Jane Jenkins, president of Downtown in December, credits the festivities with solidifying downtown as a top holiday attraction that provides restaurants and a small but growing number of retailers with customers who might otherwise have chosen to stay closer to home in the suburbs.
"The holidays for a lot of families are about building traditions," Jenkins said. "And many have built traditions on participating in Downtown in December."
Opportunities for new traditions are being added annually. Over the past few years, the festival has seen the addition of the Chesapeake Energy Snow Tubing at the Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark, the Devon Saturdays with Santa at the Myriad Gardens, and the SandRidge Santa Run.
The Devon Ice Rink, which relocated last year to the Myriad Gardens, is being expanded by 20 percent to accommodate large crowds.
Brand-new additions include the conversion of the empty Myriad Gardens restaurant into a temporary eatery and site of pop-up shops, free weekly holiday movies at Harkins Theater hosted by Continental Resources Inc., and a Winter Market at the gardens hosted by OU Medicine.
"Hopefully we give them something new each year," Jenkins said. "Those people come back every year — they have an expectation of a quality, family atmosphere."
It all started in 2002 when a fledgling Downtown Oklahoma City Inc. sought to build a festival based on just two existing events — what was then known as the "Festival of Lights" at the Myriad Gardens (a display still sponsored by Oklahoma Gas & Electric), and the Mayor's Christmas Tree (currently sponsored by SandRidge Energy Inc. in Bricktown).
Mark Funke, who was then president of the Bank of Oklahoma and co-chaired the first year with Ashley Perkins, then an area manager with Southwestern Bell, envisioned creating a winter festival that could someday match the spring Festival of the Arts, one of the top 10 arts shows in the country.
"They're far ahead of where we are today," Funke said in the weeks leading up to the 2002 launch of Downtown in December. "But five years from now, I can envision we will have a festival atmosphere in downtown Oklahoma City during the month of December very similar to what we have with the arts festival."
They had high hopes, but Devery Youngblood, the inaugural president of Downtown Oklahoma City Inc., recalled in a recent interview that just starting up the ice rink (originally at the Civic Center park) was no easy task.
Youngblood said a Bricktown property owner threatened to start his own rival ice rink if it wasn't located in the entertainment district. Organizers, meanwhile, thought the plaza in front of Leadership Square would create the perfect "big city" backdrop for what would continue to be one of the festival's marquee events.
That site, Youngblood said, was too small. The Civic Center park site worked, but Youngblood said city officials had to scramble to provide last-minute electrical lines to the site.
Juliet Nees-Bright, who previously worked with Disney, was hired to help launch the ice rink.
"We were a staff of four," Youngblood said. "We really stretched everything to make it work. We were fortunate that we had Mark (Funke) with the big vision to launch a version of the arts festival, and we had Ashley (Perkins) who had the experience in helping us with operations."
When the Zamboni ice-cleaning machine ordered for the ice rink got caught up in a crash on the way up from Texas, Youngblood himself chipped in on shoveling "snow" kicked up by the ice skaters, including on Christmas Eve.
Youngblood said city employees went above and beyond in helping to make the event a success. He credited much of the ice rink's success to a live cam set up by the city's public information office that broadcast footage of skaters on the city's cable channel.
The festival was an instant hit, and after just a few years it was honored by the International Downtown Association.
Organizing for Downtown in December is now done virtually year-round, Jenkins said, with planning for the 2013 festival set to begin with a debriefing among staffers and volunteers shortly after the end of the current festivities.
Suggestions and recommendations by visitors are given careful consideration, Jenkins said, adding that surveys led to the decision to add this year's winter market.
"We look at what works and what doesn't work," Jenkins said. "We then put it away for 30 days. Then, in April, we get busy. We start getting commitments from folks about dates, about sponsorships, and we're always trying to get in front of it, to prepare for what is next."

For today's chart we've chosen to take a look at the iShares Russell 2000 Index (AMEX:IWM) because it was one of the most actively traded securities in the market. As you can see from the chart below, the index recently bounced off a long-term trendline and it is now testing the resistance of its 200-day moving average. Technical traders will use the recent move off the trendline as a signal of a potential move higher and it may be the glimmer of hope many are looking for given the recent market weakness.
We've also added the Relative Strength Index (RSI) because the cross above 30 can be used to validate the strength of the nearby support. Technical traders may use this relatively low RSI value to suggest that the pullback is exhausted and that it could result in further upside momentum.

Piping Step 2: Upload CGI & CHMOD
In the previous step, you configured the "wpmlbounce.cgi" file and changed the value of the "wordpress_url" variable to your blog address url (home page of your wordpress blog).
In this step, you will need to upload this "wpmlbounce.cgi" file which you just edited to your CGI-bin directory for the specified domain. With the file uploaded, CHMOD (change the mode/permissions of the file) the file to 0755 in order to make it executable. You can CHMOD the file using your FTP application.
With the file uploaded to your CGI-bin directory and the appropriate permissions set for the file, continue to the next step where you will create an email alias and tell your server to pipe incoming emails to the alias to an application/script.
