This woman lives and breathes her job. Honestly I donât think Iâve ever seen her sit downâ¦. Before going to her, I lost 6 babies in the womb. She had a waiting list, but after knowing my situation she took me right in. Dr Adam never took a chance on anything, the first day she sent me to labs which I later found out was over $5400 in studies. Immediately found out everything that was wrong. At the sight of any blood she would hospitalize me and or send me for testing in the hospital. The baby tried coming several times way before her due date but she made sure she was healthy enough before delivery... even though baby still came one month early, she gave me the only thing I ever asked God for, a beautiful baby girl. She is now 8 months, healthy, SO SMART, and itâs all because of Doctor Adam. We are now w/ child again, and I have no doubt she will deliver him w/ life.
I had a twisted ovary in 2007... Long story short the surgeon punctured my bladder twice with the scalpel, Dr. Addams was there watching, saw blood in the catheter tube, and step in and finished the surgery after the head surgeon pasted out. She saved my life. Than in 2009 my right ovary twisted and she did a wonderful job in saving my right ovary, I still have it because of her. She's blunt and she does not sugar coat anything, I like that about her.
I just had my first appointment with Dr. Adams and, like you, I Googled her. I was nervous based on some of the reviews, but personality aside I wanted the best doctor that I could find. To say that I was pleasantly surprised was an understatement. She exceeded my expectations for medical care with her expertise and foresight, but I found her willing to engage in friendly banter, to have a sense of humor and physically caring. I know I am in good hands and would recommend her to anyone, especially nervous moms-to-be such as myself.
The doctor is excellent at work but gets very rude at times. She made me cry with her rude comments just before my surgery. Her nurse Margaret is horrible. She never calls back .
Dr. Adam was consulted to my case after my daughter died in utero at 26 weeks and I had severe pre ecclampsia. We credit God and Dr. Adam with saving my life. Her words to me after the fact were, "she almost took you with her." I will always be grateful to her for helping us through such dark days. I was transferred from Women's to St. Luke's and the staff in the high risk L & D as well as on the postpartum floor and all of the specialists I had to see were amazing. It's been over ten years, approaching eleven since that happened and I fall short wanting to say thank you all over again each year as I re-live it. I am currently editing a book I wrote last year about losing our daughter and my brush with death along with the lessons I have learned in the healing process. Perhaps that will be an appropriate "thank you" when my book is published.
While I want impressed with her beside manners that's all irrelevant when it comes to her expertise. Dr. Adam is very very thorough and knowledgeable. Great Doctor!!
Do not go see this doctor unless you have a full day to spend in the waiting every time you need to see her! Appointment times are meaningless to her and her staff!!!
am having quintuplets and I tried to get an appointment with Dr.Adam because I cancelled a previous appointment I had with a different doctor (Dr. Hare) of the perinatal associates due to very bad reviews. Apparently if you have reservations about seeing one of the four doctors at the perinatal associate clinic, you get rejected by all other doctors. Needless to say, I was rejected by Dr. Adams and all other associates due to what they referred to as "conflict of interest". What a way to practice medicine!
Dr. Adam provided vigilant care for me during my high risk pregnancy. She was candid and frank but never impatient or overbearing. She tirelessly provided the ultimate care in office and by bedside. My precious little girl is here today because Dr. Adam cared so much!
At first, I was concerned about Dr. Adam because I heard that she is "a very matter of fact" type of doctor. Yes, she does not waste time but at the same time, she was so caring and supportive. Even if I left her office with not so good news, I knew Dr. Adam always had my best interest at heart and because of her, I feel confident and excited about bringing my daughter into this world in 5 days!
Dr. Adam is a brilliant, caring, and tireless physician. She lives and breathes her profession. She has one complete focus and goal, and it to keep mother and baby healthy and strong as long as possible. Dr. Adam is exceptional at what she does! She is totally selfless and does all she can for her patients each and every day. I could not imagine a better physician and was so blessed to be under Dr. Adam's care.
Dr. Karolina Adam is an in incredible ob/gyn. Because of Dr. Adam, I have a healthy daughter. She may not have the best bedside manner, but she is the best ob/gyn in Houston.
She's the best? I don't think so. Dr. Adam was impatient. Imagine you have an impatient doctor after you wait in the hospital for 2 hours. But that's all right if it's a good doctor. I didn't feel that way. Dr. Adam wasn't focused on what she was doing, she wasn't looking at the ultrasound screen when doing a surgery that could cause miscarriage! Instead, she was looking around like she wanted to finish and leave. After the surgery, we were desperately waiting for the result which was supposed to come on the next day. No result was received after 3 business days! Her office didn't take phone call and no return call. Another doctor's assistant tried to help but couldn't reach her. Absolutely awful experience!
We saved up for years to have a baby. After we are confirmed from our fertility doctor that we are pregnant with triplet, Dr. Adam was recommended to us since she specializes in multiples. We picked her as our doctor. During the first two visits, she was always in a rush to examine me and her office is very busy. We thought little of it. Going into my 22 weeks, I started to feel strange such as losing my appetite, losing weight, and always having a sour metal taste in my mouth. I couldn't eat and throwing up a lot. My heart felt like it was running a marthon. We told her these symptoms and her response is "sounds Ike you are pregnant to me". She wanted me to drink 1800 calories shakes to gain some weight since she is concerned with me not gaining weights. I expressed my concern of having gastational diabete if I were to drink the shakes. She told me that she can cure me of it. Unfortunately, we lost the triple due to diabetic ketoacidosis and spent two weeks at the ER. She never tested me for diabetic knowing that I was having triplet. She was going to test me at my third trimester but we were couple of days short of our next visit with her. We lost our triplet after Thanksgiving. If you pick her as your doctor, please be on top of her and be persistent. Don't end up like us because we trusted her to do her job since we were a first time parent.
Dr. Adam takes care of what is most important to you....you're unborn child!
Excellent doctor
I really liked Dr. Adam. Her bedside manner is VERY straightforward, so if you are the type of personality who can handle this, she is an excellent doctor. She is an expert in her field and has a lot of valuable knowledge and skills. She was more cautious about my care and my baby's care that even I was, which I appreciated. She is dedicated and works any hour of the day/night as needed. The key to getting response from her nurse is to leave a clear voice mail about what you need and be prepared for a call in the evening. often the nurse cannot get back to you until 7 or 8pm. If you do not hear from her that night, call the next morning. In my experience she has always gotten in touch with me by day 2. For emeregencies, etc. just page Dr. Adam. She will call you day or night, or one of the other docs in the practice will. Good luck!
She is arrogant, rude and thinks she is GOD. Yes, I went to her for a high risk pregnancy because she is very famousbut it was the longest 8 months of my life. In the hospital, all the nurses on the floor said dr. Adam was the doctor who made all the women cry. Wait times for her were ridiculous, she billed my insurance exorbitant-even fraudulent sums , calls were not returned and I ended up very ill due to a misdiagnosis by her.Hands-down the worst doctor experience of my life.
She needs to change her nurse and her receptionist, They ruin her reputation...I had very difficult time after my visit about my billing, The nurse does not care, she send wrong report and wrong diagnosis to the insurance and when you track them she says,"I am sorry"I have been very busy last 2-3-4 months...Was a hassle won't go there anymore.
I was recommended to see Dr. Adam by my OB/GYN at 17 weeks . The very first time I met her I was so nervous about the pregnancy, since leading up to the visit I had had so many complications, she put me to ease right away. She is very straight forward which I love about her. She is sweet and funny and very knowledgeable. I recommend her to anyone who is seeking a great doctor.
I saw Dr. Adam for the delivery of my twins last year. She saved them. I would have had very sick babies without her. She knows how to handle every problem that arises & she doesn't mess around or take risks. I trust her implicitly. I would recommend anyone with a high risk pregnancy to see her. She will do whatever it takes to make sure the babies are healthy.

Originally posted on Fox Sports North | By Brian Hall | Last updated 2/6/14
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- A young Ryan Suter took one of the most historic hockey artifacts and simply tossed it into his locker. There, the 1980 Olympic hockey gold medal won by his dad, Bob, would sit for days, sometimes a week. To Ryan, the son of one of the players on the iconic "Miracle on Ice" 1980 USA hockey team, the medal was a neat souvenir. He would bring the medal to school often for show-and-tell, the significance lost on his fellow students but appreciated by his teachers. "They'd want to take it and show it to all their colleagues then they'd bring it back to me at the end of the day," Ryan said. "I wouldn't know. I would just throw it in the locker, the case is all beat up." Only years later would Ryan come to realize the true meaning of the medal. "I didn't realize how special it really was," Ryan said. Ryan, set to embark on the second Olympic appearance of his own hockey career, set on his path partly because of the medal, because of the Olympic history that comes with his last name. In his only Olympic appearance, Bob was part of one of the most famous moments in sports history when his team of amateurs beat the Soviet Union and eventually Finland to win the gold medal, the last men's Olympic hockey team to win gold. Ryan's uncle, Gary, played in two Olympics, winning silver in 2002. Bob, the first of the family to appear in the Olympics, appreciates the tradition that has followed with Ryan. The family's history adds another level of pride in being part of Team USA. "Yeah, just the tradition we've kind of had now," Bob said. "I don't know if it puts any extra pressure on the guys, I'm sure it does. Obviously you wear the USA jersey it turns a lot of different emotions on. You want to do well for your country and you may have a friend on another team, I think when you go out there in a USA jersey against the Canadian team, it's a war." Ryan wanted to be part of those battles. Motivated by his dad and uncle, Ryan strove to be an Olympian. His early hockey dreams were more focused on the Olympics than the NHL, where he has turned into a star defenseman for the Minnesota Wild. "That's the only reason I wanted to be an Olympian," Ryan said. "I grew up hearing about my dad winning the gold medal and watching my uncle win a silver medal. . . . So, being in the Olympics, that's what I thought was pretty special." The Suter name was synonymous with USA Hockey. Ryan wanted his own small part, to join his father and uncle in history. "I feel very fortunate to be in the same category as them," Ryan said. "Being in one Olympics is pretty neat and now being in my second, it's kind of surreal to have another chance to compete for a gold medal." Ryan will join Wild teammate and friend Zach Parise on Team USA in Sochi, Russia next week for the Olmypics. Parise the captain of Team USA, Suter an alternate captain for the second time (accomplishing something neither his dad or his uncle had before). "It's pretty big shoes to fill with USA Hockey for Ryan," Parise said. "I think it's a little extra special for him with the gold medal in the family, and you know how badly he wants to join that conversation and be a part of that too." For his part, Ryan downplays growing up a Suter and said he didn't think about the significance of his last name in hockey circles. Parise knew about the Suter name growing up, too. Coming from Minneapolis, Parise would play against Ryan, from Madison, in tournaments. Parise said everyone knew of Suter's family history, but didn't think about it when facing Ryan. "It was more so, 'I got to play against that damn Suter. He's a pain in the (butt),'" Parise said. "I hated playing against him. Everyone knows when you have a name like that who he is." The name has shaped who Ryan Suter is today. Suter is an alternate captain for the Wild and has grown into his role as one of the faces of the team following his 13-year, $98 million contract he signed as a free agent in 2012, coming to Minnesota together with Parise on matching deals. One of the finalists for the Norris Trophy, given to the league's best defenseman, last year, Suter has become one of the league's stars. He has six goals and 27 assists, and leads the NHL in ice time, averaging 29 minutes, 44 seconds per game, nearly two minutes more than the next closest player. Ryan is as quiet and understated as his father, their Midwestern roots easily apparent. "I try to take after him," Ryan said of his father. "I just try to be like my dad." The impersonation has been a life-long pursuit. A self-proclaimed rink rat, Ryan is calm on and off the ice. Bob Suter said he knows his son can get emotional and told a story of Ryan grabbing the facemask of an opponent and being ejected. "He gets emotional, but he knows when to control it," Bob said. "I'm sure he'd like to go after a few guys more than he does, but he knows that's not his style and there's other guys that do that." Ryan left as sophomore in high school to join the U.S. Development Program in Ann Arbor, Mich. It was his first chance to wear the Team USA uniform like his dad and uncle. The appreciation for what his dad and uncle had done, and that medal with the beat up case, began to grow. "It's not the Olympics, but its international and you're wearing the U.S. flag," Ryan said of his time in Ann Arbor. "So that was probably like, 'Ok, he wore the U.S. jersey and won a gold medal.' That was pretty special. But then going to Olympics was probably, now that I think about it, was probably the biggest, 'Whoa, that's pretty cool.' Because the Olympics are a much bigger stage." The stage was never bigger than for Bob and his team in 1980. Only amateurs were allowed to compete in the Olympics then. While the Soviet Union had played together for years, and were largely considered nearly professionals, Bob was on the team assembled by coach Herb Brooks, a mix of college players from the Midwest and East Coast. Now with professionals playing, Bob knows his moment will likely never be duplicated. "That's probably why it's still so prominent 33 to 34 years later, a bunch of young guys playing against professionals ," he said. "No matter if the U.S. wins, and I hope they do, it's not the same as what we did." Ryan has his own medal now as part of the silver medal-winning U.S. team from the Vancouver Olympics in 2010. His 3-year-old son is now taking Ryan's place as the unappreciative observer of his dad's work. "I was carrying my medal out of the house, my silver medal, (Wednesday) and my son's like, 'What's that?'" Ryan said. "'Ah, it's my medal.' 'Oh, OK,' and just keep walking. So that's how I was." Ryan learned, even if he didn't realize then, how special it was to carry his dad's medal. "I mean, he forgot it a few times," Bob said. "It stayed at his school sometimes for three or four days at a time. That was fine, I mean I almost had it stolen right when I got back from the Olympics. But I kind of believed, and still do now, that if you can't show it and people can't see it . . . that's part of it." Just like the Suter name. Follow Brian Hall on Twitter

Iconic truck-on-a-stick, flies through the stars over a freshly abandoned Yucca, Arizona truck repair shop, on a smokin hot night in July 1996. I believe it's still standing there, 20 years later. Page 119 of the 2003 "Lost America" book. Full moon, 160T chrome film, 8 minutes, f5.6.
Lost America at 111 Minna Gallery
This is the biggest news to come out of the Lost America HQ in . . . forever: I'm in the middle of preparing for my first major US Gallery show, which opens March 4th, 2016, at the bitchen "111 Minna Gallery" in downtown San Francisco. They are giving me the entire main room, which […]
The Oregon Trail 1841
Nothing like a giant mural in an abandoned building. Total darkness, lit with the Protomachines flashlight.
Saguaro Split
One of the murals at the abandoned Rancho Valle Vista. Total darkness, lit from many directions with red and warm white from the Protomachines Flashlight.
Rancho Valle Vista
Back to the 21st Century, shot last fall, outside 29 Palms. Exposed under the full moon for a couple of minutes, with a little warm white key light.
Dusk in Holbrook 1996
Office Neon Six signs from a sunset, Holbrook, Arizona, October 1996. Fuji chrome 100, all available light only, a little 2016-style Photoshop work. Once it got dark, I hit the road and shot abandoned roadside stuff, further on down the road. Most of these have never been online before.
Amber Hills
Abandoned motel and cafe, Harcuvar Arizona, Summer 1999. 8+ minutes on Kodak 160T film, pure full moon . . . and headlight reflections from US60 in the cafe windows.
The Mina L
1960 Chevy and crane, in Mina, Nevada, on a cold and windy October night, in 2001. It rained later that night, once those clouds moved in. Looks like 15-20 minutes on Kodak 160T film. Red flashlight on the headlights.
Shack and Fridge
Another abandoned shack, East of 29 Palms. Shot March 2002. Page 24 of that ancient "Lost America" book, a fresh scan, it looks more true to the slide here. 8-minutes on Kodak 160T film, magenta and yellow-gelled strobe.
Cima Storm
Happy '16 to you. I usually like to start the new year posting a series of old film images. This one's from June 1993, one of the shacks at Cima, California on a summer monsoon night. The glow on the horizon is from accumulated lightning strikes, miles away. Probably about 8-minutes on Kodak 160T film. […]

Christmas is around corner, you probably have already seen beautiful tree light decoration along streets for the coming holiday. While today, we want to present a set of amazing photos where light appears to drip from trees. No decoration, no photoshop, just using fireworks and long-exposure photography, Brazilian photographer Vitor Schietti illuminate the branches and stems of trees in his native Brazil. The photos are a mixture of in-camera light painting, and a bit of post-processing that can combine up to 12 shots into a final image. It sounds not that hard but actually, this amazing series is the result of several years of research on long exposure photography. To find prefect balance between the fading twilight and the brightness of the fireworks, you need to practice many times. However, only a few attempts were allowed per day, since the time frame during which this balance is possible is very narrow (30 to 50 minutes). Check the video at the bottom to find out how Vitor use fireworks to in the photo shooting.

Goast Ship: a 3D Projected onto Curtains of Water at the Amsterdam
'Ghost ship' is an illusion of a 3-dimensional, 17th century boat, rendered by two intersecting planar projections — beamed onto vertical, perpendicular planes of water. With a specialization in the creation of additional, optical dimensions, Romanian architecture collective visualSKIN have been able to materialize not only nocturnal mirage in the low-lit urban landscape but also a retro-futuristic hologram, simply using water curtains and old-fashioned stage lights. The image of the ship wavers with the movement of the wind, creating a dreamy and haunting scene.
OLED Tampopo: Beautiful Dandelions Lights by Takao Inoue
Designed by Takao Inoue and called OLED Tampopo, these beautiful lights are made from real dandelions that have been suspended inside an acrylic block with a miniature OLED light embedded within the stem. It is an art piece more than a light. When asked the inspiration of creating the lamp, Inoue says "Fragility is expressed by an illuminated wavering TAMPOPO. It reminds us of our old memories of picking up dandelion's puff. The mysterious light gives us a moment to release ourselves". We have no idea about how the power for the lights comes from and how did managed to avoid air bubbles while embedding dandelions into the blocks. But if you want to have one yourself, you can order it from somewheretokyo.
Monkey Light Pro: Creative LED Bicycle Wheel Display System
Monkey Light Pro is an interesting Kickstarter campaign launched by San Francisco-based design company MonkeyLectric. Basically, it is a bicycle wheel display system with the ability to feature motion graphics while you ride. The LED display system is designed to be compatible with any standard bicycle wheel so that anyone can mount it on their wheels and put on a moving light show while they go for a ride. The best part is, you can display your own graphics or message. You can create a playlist with your very own images and animations with their web application, then send the playlist to "Monkey Light Pro" via bluetooth. Once you're rolling the display fills the bike wheel and is visible from both sides. You can find more details on its kickstarter page.

.::The Hatake Kakashi Fan Club::.
Club AnnouncementsKakashi Biography
Hatake Kakashi, an elite ninja for the Leaf Village, isn't what you first think might think of him. A first impression of him (at least with his students) is that he's clumsy, laid back, and always late. But later on you see how extremely talented and dedicated he is towards his work.
Kakashi became a chunnin (an average ninja) when he was just six years old. He then became a jounin (elite ninja) at a young age afterwards. Not much is specifically known about his past since he doesn't talk about himself much (not even to his own students 0_o).
One thing about Kakashi is that he is very intent on teaching the importance of friendship. His best friend was killed in a mission (details of it is still unknown) but since then, Kakashi has always put his comrade's welfare before his own. Actually, Naruto and his team are the only students Kakashi ever accepted as his students. He failed every other gennin (apprentice ninja) that was assigned to him but he decided to pass Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura because they proved to him no matter what the rules were, they were going to look out for the well-being of eachother. Kakashi has a pretty warped sense of humor too ^^. With the exam with Naruto, Kakashi appeared behind his back and gave him a super powerful poke in the ass (launches poor Naruto into the air in pain ^^;;) to show him to never leave an opening. He also taught his students how to control chakra (spiritual energy) by climbing trees by walking up them. Ah, and another quirky thing about Kakashi he loves to read the romance novel series "Come Come Paradise"...that has many adult scenes. Kakashi was actually reading it while Naruto and his team were trying to defeat him...blushing and laughing while reading it at the same time ^^;;
But Kakashi didn't become an elite ninja just for his teaching skills. Kakashi possesses a Sharingan for his left eye (a special eye that is able to copy your opponents techniques). Kakashi didn't originally have the Sharingan but he had to have it surgically implanted when he took it from somebody else (obviously somebody dead). But with his Sharingan, Kakashi earned the reputation in the ninja world as the man who copied over 1,000 jutsu (moves). But since the Sharingan is sought after and takes so much of his energy and stamina, Kakashi always keeps his left eye hidden with his forehead protector slanted over it. But when he shows his left eye, you know that the situation is serious.
Hatake Kakashi is actually the most popular character in Naruto (according to the national poll that Kishimoto Masashi did for the manga) and people adore his character for the fact that he's only human, only he does a really good job at kicking ass while he is XD I hope this site dedicated to Kakashi shows how great a character he is in the series and hopes that more fans get to know how well-developed the Naruto series is. ^^
Kakashi's Fighting Style
Kakashi is probably one of the strongest ninjas out there, and is considered to be a genious among Konoha Jounins. Trained under the 4th Hokage, he has a great talent for a shinobi, because besides his greatly balanced skills, he also receives help from the Sharingan- something that aids him greatly in battles. Kakashi has the amazing ability to think fast and effectively, without endagering his teammates, but without sacrificing his life is either. Either way, Kakashi's main goal in a mission isn't to make it out safely; it is to make sure that his teammates are not hurt, and that the mission is successfully completed. He will give up his life for anything that threatens the peace. Kakashi is an overall great ninja, and he can use NinJutsu just as well as he can use TaiJutsu and GenJutsu. His knowledge with the Sharingan is very good, but although he isn't as powerful as Uchiha Itachi with it, he can still get his way around with the enemy. The Sharingan also aids him by giving him the ability to copy techniques off enemies, which is the reason behind Kakashi's wide range of techniques. This talented Jounin has copied so many Jutsu's throughout his experiences in life, he has been known as Copy Kakashi. Among his many techniques, there is Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, Doton Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu, Mizu Bunshin, Ninpou Kutchiyose, and Suiton Daibakufu no Jutsu. Finally, Kakashi's knowledge with weapons is great; although not as great with them as other shinobis, Kakashi manages to use kunai's and shuriken's to his advantage even in a heated battle, without missing his aim. Although not very widely used, Kakashi is a talented ninja even with GenJutsu. Using his Sharingan, he can trick the opponent into using a technique he has in mind, then use the exact same technique to counter-attack, givin him an advantage in battle. Kakashi is also a good martial artist, and he is in great physical shape. He always manages to use his quick reflexes and strong blows to his advantage, and he doesn't get exhausted that easy. All in all, he is as powerful as he is mentally as he is physically. This shinobi's most notable skill is his one unique NinJutsu; Chidori. Also known as Raikiri, the Chidori is one of the most powerful NinJutsu's out there, and can prove to be lethal to any person. The technique starts out with the shinobi performing a few hand seals, then placing his hands on a peculiar position, palms facing forward. Chakra is then gathered in a sphere-like shape on the palms; however, this is the lengthier phase of the attack because all the Chakra amount gathered is huge. So huge, which appears as blue lightning around the user's hands. Its other name, Raikiri (which translates into lightning edge) was given to it because After gathering all the required Chakra, Kakashi will release his hands towards the opponent, and charge with the Chidori on one hand, then plunge into one of the enemy's vital organs. Because of the vast amounts of Chakra it uses up, the Chidori can be used only a few times in a battle, before the ninja's chakra is drained completely. To be exact, Kakashi can use this technique about 4 times in all, after which he must rest for long hours. However, most likely Kakashi will make sure the attack will land on the opponent, and he will not be charging around with the Chidori on his hand.

McDowell boys fall in PIAA lacrosse subregional
ALTOONA -- This time, a lightning delay wasn't a good omen for the McDowell boys lacrosse team.
The Trojans experienced a 91-minute halftime during Tuesday's District 10 final against Cathedral Prep because of that dangerous weather. When action finally resumed, they responded by scoring five unanswered goals in the third period of their eventual 12-6 victory over the rival Ramblers.
During Thursday's PIAA subregion final at Altoona's Mansion Park, McDowell and District 6 top seed State College were sent to their locker rooms for 36 minutes because game officials spotted lightning with 4 minutes, 54 seconds left in the first quarter.
State College led 3-2 at the time, but after the delay scored the final six goals of the second quarter, a major momentum swing in what became a 19-4 rout.
McDowell, coached by Sean Stutzman, was eliminated with an overall record of 10-8, while State College advanced into the main portion of the state meet at 13-5.
The Trojans pulled within 4-3 of the Little Lions when Jordan Kita flicked a shot past goalkeeper Noah Schwab with 7:19 left in the half. However, State College's Luke Michael scored twice in a 12-second span to trigger the Little Lions' scoring binge that left them up 10-3 at halftime.
McDowell didn't score again until Kyle Reib's goal late in the third quarter.
Derek Thomas and Andrew Spicher accounted for the Trojans' first two goals, each coming in the first quarter.
Michael led the Little Lions with five goals, followed by Brady Franks and Sam Schwab with four each.

Toilet you can wear while you sleep
- From: AFP
- September 27, 2012
JAPANESE firms have showcased incontinence devices that combine a nappy with a personal bidet, removing waste before cleaning and then drying the wearer as they sleep.
A number of companies taking part in this year's International Home Care and Rehabilitation Exhibition in Tokyo had their automatic toilet-cum-washlets on display, aimed at Japan's burgeoning senior care market.
Salespeople demonstrated how a U-shaped cup fits between the wearer's legs and contains a sensor that activates a suction mechanism when triggered.
Waste is moved rapidly away from the body before a bidet spray-cleans and then blow-dries the area.
The cup is connected to a duct which moves the waste into a tank.
"This machine is intended to ease the burden for caregivers, especially at night, and it also helps those in bed stay clean," said Daizo Igawa, manager of Muscle Corp, as he demonstrated the firm's "Robohelper" automatic toilet.
The demand for incontinence products in Japan is rising as the population ages, and a change in public insurance schemes now allows this kind of device to be rented.
Tokyo-based Mammary, which also markets gloves to aid breast self-examinations, sells its "Smilet" at 580,000 yen ($7147), a price the company recognised was beyond the reach of many families.
"Now you can rent one under the insurance program at 3000 to 4000 yen a month," salesman Yamato Ishitate said.

SA Design Books: Fuelies, Fuel Injected Corvettes 1957-65
Throughout American culture, there have been people - and sometimes objects - famous enough to be recognized by a single name. In the automotive world, such words of greatness include Hemi, Shelby, and Fuelie.
Corvettes manufactured between 1957 and 1965 and equipped with fuel injection systems atop their small-block engines are given special respect by enthusiasts. In that era, "Fuelie" was the slang term used to describe any fuel injected Corvette. And at that time the fuel injected Corvettes were the fastest cars on the street, road course, and drag strip. In addition to the rough exhaust note created by the high compression ratio and long-duration camshaft, gearheads could identify Corvettes with the fuel injection units by the distinctive hiss they produced at idle.
Developed by Zora Arkus Duntov and built by GM's Rochester division, this fuel injection unit turned the docile, small-block engine into a super performance engine with as much visual impact as it had horsepower. When released in 1957, the fuel injected 283 cubic-inch engine developed 283 horsepower - one horsepower per cubic inch. The last of the fuel injected Corvettes made 375 horsepower.
Fuelies: Fuel Injected Corvettes 1957-1965 celebrates the nine years of production of the Corvette, the Corvette engines, and the fuel-injection units that transformed the car into a performance icon. The book also covers passenger car installations (Chevrolets from 1957 to 1959. Pontiacs and Chryslers) and other fuel injection oddities.

— Sunday's game in Charlotte, North Carolina, between the Panthers and Vikings remains on as scheduled, despite a state of emergency in the city due to protests over a police shooting earlier in the week.
Panthers president Danny Morrison said in a statement that the team has been in contact with local authorities and the league, noting: "We are continuing to monitor events as we prepare for Sunday's home game."
Players interviewed Thursday showed support for playing the contest despite the violence that has gripped the city.
"If you take this game away I think it is going to just continue to add to the stress and add to what is already going on in a negative way," Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis said.
However, there was concern among players.
"My wife usually takes the kids uptown and they tailgate with family and friends, but we said maybe this week we should just come to the game, park in our lot and go up to your seats and get settled in," Panthers tight end Greg Olsen said. "Is it worth moseying around in a town that is in such a heightened state of chaos?"
Panthers safety Tre Boston said he is considering joining Colin Kaepernick's national anthem protest, but he plans to do more research before coming to a decision.
"You have to find a way you are not disrespecting people and that everybody understands where we are coming from, but at the same time you want to get your message across," Boston said. "And sometimes it can feel disrespectful when you send your message across and somebody doesn't believe in it. We'll see."
— Mariners catcher Steve Clevenger apologized Thursday after sending out tweets critical of protesters in Charlotte and President Barack Obama, including one that read, "Everyone involved should be locked behind bars like animals."
"I am sickened by the idea that anyone would think of me in racist terms," Clevenger said in a statement. "My tweets were reactionary to the events I saw on the news and were worded beyond poorly at best and I can see how and why someone could read into my tweets far more deeply than how I actually feel."
Mariners general manager Jerry DiPoto said in a statement that the team is "very disappointed," adding: "His tweets do not in any way represent the opinions of the Seattle Mariners. We strongly disagree with the language and tone of his comments."

Regardless of your political leanings, everyone should have an appreciation for the best part of the campaign process. And that's when politicians' handlers decide they need to get in touch with the common man to show they're not elitist, out-of-touch, insulated power brokers. They're candidates of the people. Just like you and me Joe Average Lunch Pail Six Pack. Because it never, ever works out the way they hope and just ends up disproving what they were trying to prove.
I give Zach Galifianakis a lot more credit than Hillary here. Because he didn't hold back like I thought he would and dialed up the awkwardness to amazing levels. It's your move, Trump campaign. Help make "Between Two Ferns" great again.

You wouldn't know it from the media stories, but most owners are happy with their timeshares. According to ARDA reports, of the six million or so timeshare owners, nearly five million of them are satisfied. On the other hand, by deduction, that means that more than a million of them aren't satisfied.
So who are all the frustrated and sometimes furious timeshare owners that you see in the news? Of the million or so unsatisfied owners, it is unlikely that many of them actually became unhappy with their timeshares until they tried to sell them. Until then, these owners, like the five million currently happy ones, probably enjoyed their timeshares immensely. After all, timeshares often offer much nicer accommodations than the average vacation experience. (Think: kitchens with cookware, cupboards stocked with plates and utensils, extra bedrooms for the kids and other homey features that set them apart).
That's what happened to Megan and Kyle, a couple from Arizona. They bought a small timeshare in the Poconos as a romantic ski getaway. However, things changed and they became a growing family (perhaps, thanks to all those romantic getaways) and needed more space.
At first they were willing to sell their smaller timeshare in order to buy a larger one. Since they had originally purchased their timeshare for more than $20,000 they thought they could sell it for about the same. However, that's when they got a rude awakening. They discovered their timeshare was worth only pennies on the dollar. Worse, they were scammed numerous times trying to unsuccessfully sell their timeshare—paying hundreds of dollars to bogus listing companies that promised big results but delivered nothing. To top it all off, they didn't use their timeshare for the entire three years they tried to sell it—yet they still had to pay their annual maintenance fees.
The couple ended up donating their property to Donate for a Cause.
"Ironically, we contacted the charity towards the beginning of the process," says Sally. "It when we first started realizing how hard it was to sell. We were ready to consider donating, but after hearing that we had to cover the costs of the transfers in order to make our donation, we decided to try harder to get rid of it ourselves. That was a mistake. We could have saved ourselves at least two year's worth of bills, scams and headaches. "
Donate for a Cause actually provides owners with a special calculator to help them determine the real cost of trying to sell a timeshare yourself. If you're an owner looking to get rid of your timeshare, click here and see if donation isn't the best option for you. Link to calculator.

SoBe Developer Sues Resident For Telling City He Was Violating Historic Codes
This is all that remained of the building when Frings returned to South Beach.

When Andre Frings returned to his South Beach apartment from a trip to New York last December, his jaw dropped at what had happened to the historic building next door. The 1926 art deco edifice was completely gutted, the graceful façade gone. Frings suspected the developer had broken the Beach's historic preservation codes, so he filed a complaint. The city investigated and, sure enough, found that demolition had exceeded the scope of permits. The developer spent months making fixes.
Democracy at its finest, right? Not for Frings. Last month, the developer -- Brickell-based Jeffrey Schottenstein -- filed a lawsuit against the SoBe resident, seeking more than $15,000 for the egregious crime of reporting his problems to the city.
"It's ridiculous because I don't have any influence. I'm just a resident," Frings says. "All I did was write to the city about my concerns."
Andrew Hall, Schottenstein's attorney, says Frings was wrong to air his grievances when work was already underway. "Guys like this, they think they're smarter than everyone else," he says. "He doesn't care about the consequences of his actions."
Frings's attorney, Michael Schlesinger, has a different take on the suit. "It's a frivolous action brought solely to intimidate and punish [Frings]," he says.

Frings, a 48-year-old New York native who's lived in South Beach for seven years, had always liked the shape of the building at 830 Fifth Street. So when he returned to find the building totally stripped, he emailed a Planning and Zoning official.
The city decided Frings's complaints had merit and ordered corrective work. At February's meeting of the Historic Preservation Board, members drafted a list of dozens of changes.
In June, Schottenstein struck back at Frings. His suit calls the resident an "officious intermeddler who acted vexatiously."
Frings says he's already out thousands of dollars in attorney fees. He hopes a judge will recognize the case as courtroom bullying.
"It's crazy, and no one from city hall has helped me at all," he says. "I thought this city was all about community participation and historic preservation."

Posted on 08/20/2012 7:55:26 PM PDT by sagar
Please ignore this if you are so "outraged" about Akin that you cannot dissect things more rationally and logically.
Akin made a legitimate mistake, in his choice of words. There are no legitimate rapes. A rape is a rape, whether it was legitimate or statutory. A rape destroys life -- the life of the victim. If the rape inadvertently creates life, then that should be cherished as a sign of something good out of something horrible.
So, murdering a child conceived via rape is still worth saving. By turning the rape into murder is evil. The grieving victim of the rape has no right to turn her grief on an innocent child who has absolutely no fault. The child is blessed like all children conceived.
If conservatives back now from this, they will give tremendous ammunition to the abortionists (including the Obomney wing of the GOP). Axing of Akin might be a short term victory, but it will damage the pro life movement by altering the PRINCIPLES that actually matter!
Apparently what Akin said is true - pregancy is rare via rape, according to pro-abortionists. It just surprises me that pro-lifers still don't know how to state their belief that abortion is wrong no matter what and that comes directly from God: Thou shalt not kill. Period end of statement.
Yes- all life is sacred. Now.
In the OT, things were otherwise- to the point of obliterating all vestiges of the infidels/heathens/pagans.
Things are different now, and the path is difficult.
The Church can carry the true message; politicians may need to be more circumspect.
The Flag and the Cross are not the same...
"I think the call for Akin to withdraw is coming from two camps - those who are outraged, and those, like me, who while I can forgive his misstep, now have serious questions about his electability."
Don't you see, electability is a smokes screen for the corrupt and power hungry. The real matter is principle, which is being completely ignored by those shouting for his withdrawal. If he withdraws, it might be helpful in the short-term(electability), but it will harm pro life principles. Now, nobody will dare talk against abortion of rape babies. The pro-life issue will now focus on rape and not on abortion.
To some, avoiding murder is because of a religious constraint(God said so). For me, avoiding murder is plain f###ing common sense! Why murder an innocent life, regardless of what God says. Do not allow reason be harmed by what supernatural thinks or says. Sorry, this is NOT a religious issue, but a HUMAN RIGHT... the Right to Life of an innocent being!
Unfortunately, that wasn't what he said. If that was what he meant to say, then he should have said it.
Because, ever since Roe v. Wade, and the near abolition of capital punishment, life has become cheap.
I'm with you. Kill the rapist. Confiscate his property and give it to the victim. If there is a pregnancy, give the baby a chance to live. Put it up for adoption if the mother doesn't want it.
Yeah it sucks, but killing babies is the worst thing a human being can do.
I concur. You must word this position more artfully if you are a politician- even in rural Missouri.
Abortion is wrong. Some draw a finer line at saving the life of the mother...what do you say then, FRiend?
That's fine what you said.
Why didn't Akin say that?
Instead he said "legitimate rape", which makes it sound OK, as in legit, legitimate; or, alternatively like some women "cry rape" when they weren't in fact raped at all. By which, I suppose, he meant "statutory" rape, but who knows? Maybe he meant false accusations/claims of rape.
Then he went into all that boogy woogie bullsxxxx about how you don't usually, generally, get pregnant if you are (I guess this is what he meant) violently sexually assaulted, because your body can just "shut that down".
Way to go, Congressman.
Oh yeah, the only murder likely here is the MURDER of the REPUBLICAN chances in November.
Please urge candidate Akin not to turn his rape of the language into the murder of our chances this fall.
Thank you.
We should definitely have that discussion.
The problem is we cannot get to that discussion because we have to wade through an idiotic and utterly pointless remark that derailed the whole issue and set it back probably a decade.
Bottome line: Stupid people do not help the pro-Life cause. No matter how sincere they are, they HURT not help the cause.
I can't let this go because it implies that if prayer would be returned to the government schools that somehow the problem would be solved. It won't! Why?
The problem isn't the lack of prayer. The problem is that government schooling is ( and **always** has been) a single-payer socialist-entitlement that was never, even at its best, more than generically lukewarm in its Protestant worldview.
Government schooling at its very best offered the students a lukewarm and generic Protestantism. What does the Bible say that Christ does with the lukewarm? Answer: He spits them out of His mouth!
Children who attend lukewarm and generically Protestant government schools must learn to think and reason in a lukewarm and generic manner just to cooperate in the classroom. In other words, they risk learning to be lukewarm about their family's specific religious beliefs.
Today, the government schools are utterly godless and today children must think and reason godlessly just to cooperate. Neither situation is good for the child or for our nation.
And....Since its beginning in the mid-1800s, government schooling has been a socialist-entitlement. Children attending these schools risked, and continue to risk, learning that any voting mob powerful enough to give them tuition-free schooling is powerful enough to give them **lots** of "free" stuff. All it took to get a Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt was one to three generations of government owned and run socialist-entitlment indoctrination ( oops! "schooling").
Solution: Begin the process of privatizing K-12 education.
"Abortion is wrong. Some draw a finer line at saving the life of the mother...what do you say then, FRiend?"
That is a horrible situation to be put in. It is similar to separating conjoined twins where they must be separated for either one of them to survive. My take on this:
- this is a treatment where the INTENT is to save a life, not kill a life. Abortion's intent is to kill a life, in order to make life less inconvenient for a woman.
- a treatment needs to happen, regardless of the outcome of the treatment, because only the act of treatment can save any life. If no treatment, no life, since both mother and child die.
- every treatment is unique, but in the treatment, perhaps the baby could be extracted safely. If not possible, the mother needs to be separated from the child for any possibility of her surviving.
- all treatments have risk. Death during separation is the risk due to limits in technology. In the olden days, both mother and child would die anyway. In the future, nobody dies!
Basically, I do NOT see the act of saving life as abortion. Am I wrong? Does it matter?
Just being pro-life isn't enough. If you lack the ability to articulate this view well, express yourself foolishly, and alienate voters in the process, then are you really going to help that cause?
In the grand scheme of things, the ONLY thing that really matters if whether or not we value innocent life. Everything is trivial — including economic philosophies.
History tells us that non-capitalist economies such as Communism put LESS emphasis on individual lives, thus they are more evil. In capitalism, where individual is supreme and has FREE WILL! Capitalism has its dark sides, but it is blindingly brighter than any other system out there.
This whole episode is rediculas, can we move on already?
I am the product of a rape, had abortion been legal when i was in my mother womb, I would not have made it to full term.
My mother already had 7 children, and we literally had dirt floors. If anyone should be insulted it should be me, and I am not. So can we please us move on and quit helping the Democrats and Rinos do their work.
We all misspeak at some time that is bad for us, let us not destroy our chance at gaining a super majority in the Senate by helping Claire McCaskill stay in Washington as Mo Senator.
Todd Akin is the vest man for the job, and he already apologized, so enough already.
Sorry Sagar, but since Reagan, the exceptions have always been rape, incest and the life of the mother. As far as I'm concerned the exceptions are as inviolate as the rest of the pro-life plank.
This is the really real world. It's not all happy endings and sunshine when a rape victim carries a baby to term. A fragile psyche can't always withstand another 9 months of assault. People break. Also, please don't hand me a line that watching the product of violence grow inside of her isn't assault. Maybe some women will be able to compartmentalize the rape and separate it from the pregnancy, but everyone with a room temperature IQ knows that not every woman will be able to do so.
A marriage can't always survive a husband watching another man's baby grow in his wife's womb, even when it was forced upon her. In the same fashion, perhaps some men can, but we know for certain that not all men are capable.
A thirteen year old's life is no less at risk being impregnated so soon after becoming fertile because she didn't consent. It's just a fact of life that young girls become fertile before their bodies are fully developed. Immature skeletons with narrow pelvises, inabilities to create to enough red blood cells to handle the increased blood volume, inability of the immature venous system to handle increased flow creates PIH, etc etc.
No, as I told another poster. We'll be keeping those exceptions to the pro-life platform for some time to come. Bear in mind that you really don't want those who are pro-life in the Reagan sense to be forced to choose between two extremes. You'll lose.
I think you have expressed the issue with great wisdom.
I am not a great fan of medical intervention- in the old days God made the selections because we humans had few options.
Things are more complicated now, and primativists are not held in high esteem.
Your pro-life continuum through the issues is the right path, IMHO.
I would assume that Congressman Akin has the ability to say what he believes. Since his statement was far different from yours I believe he should be evaluated on what he said, not what we wish he had said.
He veered away from making a principled argument against abortion and tried to make some distinction between legitimate and I suppose illegitimate rape. He also tried to make the unprincipled argument that the frequency of conception in rape cases had something to do with the morality of abortion. Is abortion acceptable if there is 99 percent rate of conception but not acceptable if there is only 1 percent rate?
I believe the good Congressman dug a hole for himself that he can't, and probably shouldn't get out of. The question remaining is how many will go down with him.
Thank you. The only issue that really matters is whether a society values human life. ALL of its policies and culture derive from that. A society can become murderous at any time... that is how we have evolved. As a species, for us to survive and thrive, killing innocent babies will only make us degenerate, hence not survive and thrive.
Politically you are 100% correct.
Spiritually, the New Testament is clear.
In the OT- Israel was directed to obliterate every last remnant of the ungodly.
I have a special needs granddaughter- unknown at this point how disabled she may be.
John 9:2-3 KJV
And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
We are so far down that road only God can turn it around.
50 million since Roe V Wade, 1973?
God will turn it around; won't be pretty.

you said this so well, I totally agree with everything you said, he should not resign just because the pro-choice people demand it, I don't know if people didn't hear what he said or didn't understand it, or are just grabbing the opportunity to hurt our side, AIKEN COULD HAVE CHOOSEN HIS WORDS BETTER, BUT HE SAID NOTHING WRONG IN MY JUDGEMENT
keep fighting the good fight y'll, and next year will be the beginning to much better times
"The grieving victim of the rape has no right to turn her grief on an innocent child who has absolutely no fault."
True. But, do the men have the right to force a woman to go through gestation, and then suffer delivery agony/risks if the child is the product of rape? I am here assuming the rape victim does not want to carry and deliver the child.
Please consider the contradiction between your "innocent child" which should be "innocent fetus", and the Christian concept of "Original Sin".
Original Sin would not allow the fetus to be free of sin, or are you postulating that Original Sin is contracted during passage down the birth canal?
I am sorry to hear of your troubles but happy that you were blessed with life.
That was a very personal tale to tell in a public forum.
It is very hard to intellectualize a deeply held moral belief. If people would accept the simple answer, 'because it is wrong' this kind of thing would not happen.
It's not that hard to verbalize. Pro-lifers outside abortion clinics get bombarded with the "what about rape" question all the time, and interestingly enough all of us can and have given better responses than Mr. Akin gave.
Which leads me to think that Mr. Akin has never been outside an abortion clinic in his life.
No, It is easy to intellectualize a moral belief.
It is difficult to legislate.
You cant force someone to drink from the well.
I have had people damn me in my own home because we did not see eye to eye on theological matters.
I asked them to leave in a friendly way.
They are always welcome, just don't damn me in my home.
The point is that these things need praying on. They don't need knee jerk reactions, and they surely don't need knee jerk reactions from people in power.
If some poor girl is raped I would not force her to raise the baby.
I would encourage her to at least bring the baby up for adoption but I would never damn her.
That's where Akin drew the line. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M09iWwKiDsA
He was clearly uncomfortable answering the rape / abortion question, knowing his answer does not poll well. That's probably what led him to adduce the questionable medical research about probability of conception when the act is forced. I.e., Yeah, I'm against abortion in rape cases, but, really, the question hardly ever comes up in real life the docs say so ... yadda, yadda. Oops! Scheißsturm incoming!
"But, do the men have the right to force a woman to go through gestation, and then suffer delivery agony/risks if the child is the product of rape? I am here assuming the rape victim does not want to carry and deliver the child."
You assume a lot. A rape victim need not channel her anger towards the child. The child is an innocent party in this and does not deserve to be murdered. A rape victim should be counselled and supported, not encourage to murder.
Taking an innocent life is simply not an option. That is the principle of my argument.
"Please consider the contradiction between your innocent child which should be innocent fetus, and the Christian concept of Original Sin."
All children are innocent. There is no one more innocent than an unborn child. Anything else, including the argument for abortion because of "original sin", is bulls##t.
"Original Sin would not allow the fetus to be free of sin, or are you postulating that Original Sin is contracted during passage down the birth canal?"
Original Sin is a religious concept for those who subscribe. My argument is based on the right of an innocent human to life and nobody has the right to take that away, not even the mother-to-be and definitely not based on religious concepts.
That may well be. But, have you ever had to give cogent secular reasons for your beliefs?
Das neugierige Kind
"That may well be. But, have you ever had to give cogent secular reasons for your beliefs?"
Yes. I was anti-abortion long before I became a Christian.
Vos is los?
Your statement about giving women the right to vote makes you seem like a good running mate for president, if Akin is ever at the top of the ticket.
Your statement about giving women the right to vote makes you seem like a good running mate for president, if Akin is ever at the top of the ticket.
It's like complaining about literally 0.1% to justify the remaining 99.9% of baby murders.
Akin could have framed it better, but he was probably stressed, however you are right -- a woman who has been violated this way and then aborts gets a double crime perpetrated on HER. She will feel guilty and almost feel a partner in the crime perpetrated on her (the rape).
Well said.
Putting prayer back into the government schools is like fighting a forest fire with a water pistol.
The biggest problem is that by **law** government schools are godless. If some of the teachers are sneaking in a little bit of Christianity then they are teaching a lesson. Lesson: Christians are SNEAKY!
The biggest problem is that by **law** teachers must teach all subjects from a godlessly secular humanist point of view. The children must think and reason godlessly just to cooperate in the classroom, read the godless texts, and do their godless homework.
The biggest problem is that as the children grow older they will eventually realize that this is in COMPLETE CONTRADICTION to any Christian belief to teach children to think and reason godlessly. Lesson taught: Christians will prostitute their most sacred beliefs for a paycheck, pension, and generous vacations.
The biggest problem is that every textbook is written from a godless;y secular humanist worldview. Progressives have **always** controlled curriculum development and teacher training. ( Read Gatto )
The biggest problem is likely every one of the teachers was indoctrinated by their colleges of education into the Marxist, globalist, and secular humanist worldview. That **will** bleed into the classroom even if Mrs. Honey Bun ( the 7th grade "social studies" teacher) is choir director of your local church.
Question: So?....Will the work of **real** missionaries be harder or easier as these children grow to adulthood? Who in their right mind would join a religion filled with sneaky hypocrites?
I am disgusted with how the careers of Republicans are crushed because of one **"legitimate"** misstatement but Democrats can say and **do** the most vile things throughout their miserable lives and are honored, not only in life, but given spectacular funerals.
Easy for you to say - you've already been born. Look at the post immediately before yours, by OneVike. Look at OneVike in the eye and tell him/her that and see how it flies.
Its not all happy endings and sunshine when a rape victim carries a baby to term.
Carries a what to term?
Since when is it an acceptable moral principle to kill a child for the crime of his father?
The abortion killing is just a second act of violence against an innocent victim; the rape being the first act of violence against an innocent victim.
"The life of the mother" exception is the only legitimate exception in those extremely rare cases in which it might occur, because it would be in defense of one's own physical life. The law has always recognized the right of self defense of one's life, but since when is it permissible to kill one where both would otherwise live?
Why include "incest"? Either incest is rape, or it isn't.
They're not "clinics". And yes, I have seen him outside the slaughterhouses, numerous times. I personally spent a night in jail with him and some others for non-violently attempting to rescue those being about to be killed.

Update for shifting issues done......
at the dealer when the K-36 recall was done today.Had the shudder when running in drive at lower speed city driving and also when slowing down for a light I had the harsh downshift into 4th.They did an update for shifting issues listed and my R/T drives and shifts like it should now........Just a heads-up if you have these shifting issues.......JB.
Was the shift update for the R/T only Or other RAM models?
I am assuming it is for all newer Rams with this issue.May be a good idea to call your dealer with your V.I.N and have them run it.Mine said not all updates show up on the Dodge Owners page.........JB.
Did they give it any sort of name or code for the shift update? This probaly won't be a recall...just done for those that complain about the down shifting...
All I see on the invoice is TSB#18-023-11. 4275086AD Label......Pay 0.20. I went in for the K-36 recall and they informed me of the shifting update......JB.
my truck did some crazy shifting today. it seemed like it took to long to shift out of second. also, when i manually shift for second to third my rpms only drop about 300 rpms. it that normal?
