Rotel 820 schematics
Anyone got one, im trying to fix an 820..and it's difficult.:bawling:
Hi pete.a,
I used to own an RA-820, which I have given to my brother. I have tweaked it a lot, and know the circuit quite well. What state is yours in?
Main Tx Blown
The main tx went bang..oh err..as i think someone played with it.
Can you remember what the secondary voltage should be, i got around 44v ? I was going to put a toroidial tx in but not so sure now. Just brought it for an easy repair ,and to go in the work shop until i get time to build a new chip amp. But i would be greatfull for any suggestions.:)
The voltage at the secondary measures 2x25.4V ac (idle). If you want to replace it by a toroidal, 2x24V would do but it is not a bad trany anyway. If the output transistors are dead, you can go directly for the low beta-droop 2SA1302/2SC3281s, which I have tried successfully.
BTW, greetings to Nottingham, Sherwood Rise, Mansfield Road etc!:)
What Va
Im not sure what Va to go for..160 seems to be the best size if using a toroidial..
Guess what..the chap i got this amp from lives on mansfield Rd , small world.
Yeap, 160 will do nice. Bleeding small world, too.
Thank's for that one. Im not sure what state this amp will be in , as it got 44v per rail through it . Dont know the threshold voltage of the components, but i did get a schematic from Rotel. It could be written in Arabic as im not that to hot on electronics, just the basics, sparky by trade..if you get my drift..but im learning fast.
Just one thing to add the protection fuses never blew, so there's something hopefull start with.:clown:
Its Alive
Hey iv'e finally got round to putting in the Tx you recommended , and it worked first time . Whats worth tweaking , though i might change the opamp buffers from those NE5532 to well that im not so sure yet.:)
What I've done is I bypassed the line-stage. No NE5534, no nothing. This will then give you a passive preamp. The power amp's gain was still plenty, at least in my system.
In addition, there is a lot of going backwards and forwards with the signal on its way to the power amp. You can take the output from the volume pot wiper pad and feed it directly to the input of the PA. This way you will bypass the tone-defeat wiring and switch and the balance pot.
Get rid of coupling capacitors too, if your sources have no dc offsets.
Happy tweaking!
Thanks for the promt reply, i guess you had a good Xmas break.
Yeh i might try those suggestions at some point in time, but for now i'll leave it alone ..if it aint broke and all that...just had a few to many things go wrong . Call it a lack of electronic knowledge/experience. Mind you it sound's damned good in my shed now , i'll post a picture tommorow.
:) :)

14 key profit today. Hell yeah.
Class is eating up most of my time, so not much time for MMOs. I am trying to prioritize here, though. I don't know whether to buy Guild Wars 2 (it looks fun), preorder RIFT's expansion (that's looking like the top option, or just buy into Planetside 2's Alpha Squad (I've heard bad things about PS2, and I haven't gotten my invite yet).
Until then, I'm squeezing in some Firefall here and there, and some War of the Roses beta.
I vote on anything but the Rift expansion. They promised that all content in the game would be free forever outside of the subscription cost, and they went back on their word. Don't support companies that pull that bullshit.
dont think ill ever get far in this game lol, remade char yet again to a female asura warrior. from all the classes i played i still like warrior the most. but i never really felt i liked my human one. asura however got amazing attack animations and i like my char lol, at first i found asuras creepy but some are pretty cute xD

Saccade, if you check the data sheet, you will see that this has a 6mm shaft as opposed to the more common (in the US) ¼" shaft. You can find many knobs on the web for a 6mm shaft - Google "6mm shaft knob" for a zillion of them. The biggest problem you'll have is finding one that doesn't cost as much as two of these encoders! You can sometimes make a ¼" inch knob fit very nicely by shimming with a split ring made from an aluminum soda can.
No public wish lists :(

After much trial and error, I have finally decided to offer these for sale. Each kit will include the light board with the GOW bulbs, Honeywell 1sx1-t micro switch, 9v battery holder, and solderless wire connectors. I will also include a set of instructions, just let me know what file format you would like PDF or Word document.
I designed these kits to be easy to install (no soldering required), but some slight modifications may be needed to get everything to fit. This kit also requires a hollow stalk, so contact Fettpride for one if one is needed.
This kit is a lot like my Terminal Fettler kit, so those that are familiar with know how it works. The price does not include the Paypal fees.
I have been told by a few members that Chris no longer includes hollow stalks with the FPH2 helmet kit. Before ordering this light kit, make sure that you can get a hollow stalk. I don't know if Chris will offer them again, but Animefan and terminal fettler both offer hollow resin stalks. I do not know of any members offering aluminum hollow stalks as of right now.
Here is a video of the kit installed in my personal helmet.
This kit is available with either green or white GOW bulbs.
After consulting with webchief over on the bounty hunters guild, both ESB and ROTJ use white GOW bulbs. While the green one will be available, to get ROTJ level 2 or above 501st clearance, white GOW bulbs will be required.
The sellbuddy ad has the option of either kit to be selected by listing the desired color in the comments section when the link is opened.
Here is a vid of the green GOW bulb kit. I did it in low light so you could see the green, and again I used my iPhone so the quality isn't that good.
Here is a Dropbox link to download the instructions.

Systems neuroscience aims to explain animal behavior through the organization and function of the nervous system. Vertebrate nervous systems are so large and complex that behavior cannot currently be mapped to complete sensorimotor pathways. To do this, one must turn to simpler genetic model organisms to gain a systems-level understanding of the fundamental principles by which neural circuits generate diverse behaviors. The lab seeks to understand how brains convert sensory inputs into behavioral outputs at a systems neural circuit level using interdisciplinary techniques from biophysics, genetics and neuroscience. The lab utilizes the innate light avoidance behavior (negative phototaxis) of the Drosophila larva as a model system.

Joe Gans fundraiser 2/26
By Gary "Digital" Williams
The first African-American boxer to hold a world championship in the gloved era of boxing –"The Old Master" Joe Gans will be honored with a fundraiser on Friday, February 26. The event will be held at the Sports Legends Museum at Camden Yards in his hometown of Baltimore, MD from 8 to 11 PM. Funds from the event will go towards the creation of a wax statue to honor Gans. Tickets for the event are $50 for General Admission and $100 for VIP tickets. VIP tickets allow you to spend some time with some of the many celebrities that are slated for the event.
For nine years (1900-1909), Gans ruled the lightweight division. Some sources list his record as 138-10-15 with 96 KO's, however a recent biography of Gans claims there are many more bouts and victories that need to be recorded.
The celebrity lists includes Showtime Boxing commentator Al Bernstein, Clayton Le Boeuf, star of the NBC series Homicide: Life on the Street (which was set in Baltimore), Beltway Boxing legends Vincent Pettway and William Joppy and members of the Baltimore Orioles and Baltimore Colts.
Also, Colleen Aycock, the co-author of the Joe Gans biography will be there and she must be commended for her work on bringing Joe Gans's name back to prominence.
For event ticket sales, please contact Whitney Edmonds, (410) 727-1539 ext 3033.

A Bellator Fighting Championships veteran accused of competing while trying to collect workers' compensation could spend years in jail, prosecutors said this week.
The Los Angeles District Attorney's Office charged Raphael "The Noodle" Davis with four felony counts of insurance fraud. Davis was arrested Tuesday morning and immediately held on $30,000 bail, the district attorney's office said.
Davis was released from jail Wednesday, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Fraud investigators found that Davis, a firefighter, made false claims for workers' compensation, the district attorney's office said, adding that the filings took place between December 2, 2008 and May 20, 2011.
He fought seven times in mixed martial arts during that period, going 6-1 as a light heavyweight. He won twice for Bellator and twice for M-1 Global.
If convicted, Davis faces up to five years in county jail, prosecutors said.

THE AVETT BROTHERS have scored their very first nomination at the twelfth annual CMT Music Awards in the category of "Collaborative Video of the Year" for "Three Wooden Crosses," their collaboration with country legend Randy Travis. The show will air live from Nashville at Bridgestone Arena on CMT and CMT.com June 5, 2013 at 8pm ET/PT.
The Grammy Award-nominated folk rock family teamed up with Travis to perform "Three Wooden Crosses" as part of their special CMT Crossroads episode last November. Together, they breathed new life into the country classic, adding flourishes of their own inimitable style, while preserving the original's integrity. All hailing from North Carolina, they shared similar roots and immediately bonded. The performance brings together two generations and genres of music in one unforgettable evening. Online voting is open now to fans on CMT.com through June 2nd.
The group is currently on the road right now. Meanwhile, "February Seven," the second single from THE AVETT BROTHERS' Grammy Award-nominated 2012 offering, The Carpenter [American Recordings/Republic Records], has been impacting at radio since the start of the year, and it remain a staple of their live set.
The Carpenter is the first album to be released under the partnership between Rick Rubin's legendary American Recordings and Republic Records. The unanimously lauded band's latest album debuted at #4 on the Billboard Top 200, giving them their highest debut yet. Rolling Stone, People, USA Today, and American Songwriter have sung the record's praises.
People called The Carpenter "an album that achieves rootsy bliss", USA Today wrote, "They've constructed a near masterpiece", Entertainment Weekly wrote, "The North Carolina siblings deliver another gorgeously crafted set of sad and soulful laments with acoustic guitars, sharply punctuated piano, and delicate cello", and the Huffington Post said, "They dig deeper than ever on an album that's at turns somber, achingly beautiful, and fully aware of the perils of life".
THE AVETT BROTHERS performed on NBC's "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" and on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!" twice in a few months' time. The second time on Kimmel they were backed by the Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra for a heartfelt tribute to Brooklyn with the title track from their 2009 album "I and Love and You", personally requested by the show's host.
Over the years, the band has also become a live favorite amongst fans. The New York Post said, "This North Carolina bluegrass-pop sibling act is like Mumford & Sons with actual mountain credibility", while Billboard added how "Scott and Seth Avett harmonize brightly over a rollicking honky-tonk groove". These dates will undoubtedly continue that tradition on an even grander scale.
Expect more news from THE AVETT BROTHERS very soon, and be sure to catch them when they play your town.

Two beers with local pedigrees
BY JIM BEAUREGARD | March 18. 2014 3:01PM
First, local local: From White Birch Brewing of Hooksett comes White Birch Belgian Style Pale Ale, $4.69, 6.5% alcohol by volume. Large white head, creamy and frothy by turns, over hazy beer amber/orange in color. Medium malt nose with caramel and coffee coming through, medium citrus with spice and orange blossom. The palate is dry, with medium bitterness, acidity, alcohol and body, all well integrated for a harmonious blend. Medium-plus flavor intensity of hops and malt as above. Very good, with balance, length and flavor intensity.
If my mention of the marathon brings mixed feelings this year to you as it does to me, consider this from Jim Koch, Founder and Brewer at Sam Adams: "Last year, following the tragic events that took place on race day, we committed to donating all of the profits from the sale of the 26.2 Brew to the Greg Hill Foundation, which provided immediate support to survivors of the Boston Marathon tragedy and their families. This year we're continuing our commitment and again will donate all profits from the sale of Boston 26.2 Brew to the Greg Hill Foundation for the ongoing needs of the survivors and their families."

Psychology grads face below-average salaries: study
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - U.S. graduates leaving university with a psychology degree face dim salary prospects when they enter the job market despite claims by employers of valuing a liberal arts education, according to a new study.
"Face it, wages are tied to specific occupations, and real-world data show that psychology alumni just don't work in areas that pay top dollar," said Donald W. Rajecki, of Indiana University, and the lead author of the report.
Among some of the jobs psychology graduates enter are mental health case manager, day-care teacher, home health aide, social worker and substance abuse counselor.
"Whether psychology alumni are personally drawn to these particular downscale positions or take them on out of necessity, one result is the same: comparatively low pay," Rajecki added.
The findings, which will be published in the journal "Perspectives on Psychological Science", are based on an examination of four publicly available data sets on different careers and their salaries.
The researchers found that psychology majors have a median starting salary of $35,300, which is below the national average for college graduates, especially those with engineering, health and science degrees.
Rajecki said that many advisers tell prospective psychology majors to enhance their employability by participating in research efforts, earning double majors or getting practical experience through internships.
Rajecki added that getting advanced degrees in psychology does not brighten the salary picture much.
"Even psychology professors obtain appointments at the lower end of that salary scale," he explained. Continued...

Hello everyone, I am in the process of rebuilding a wrecked 2011 cherokee and ran into a problem finding what the hood latch is bolted down to, when it came to me from auction, the insurance already took off all damaged parts and the hood latch was already unbolted, now when the hood is in down position there is significant space from the radiator support to which most often they are bolted down to. I went through all the mopar parts images and I see the radiator support separately and hood latch separetly but nothing that shows what the latch is sitting on. any help would be appreciated

I'm planning to buy a Kubota BX-25-TLB plus a front snow blower for personnal use only. Any comments + or - about this tractor?
I am sure you will get replies here:thumbsup:
You might also check out www.tractorbynet.com and www.nettractortalk.com
Lots of good advise here also:thumbup:
I've got a BX24 new in 2007. It appears that these are very similar. Overall I am very pleased with mine, here are some of the pluses small and manueverable can get into tight areas. Implements are easy to change. Beats working with a shovel and wheelbarrow.
Minuses, it is a small tractor, designed for small tasks, make sure it will do what you need. Front bucket should be wider that the tires. Hydraulics don't work well at lower rpm and you really can't use more than one motion at a time with the hoe. With its 3 point hitch and size of tractor you really can't use to many standard category 1 implements, they are too big.
I would not get a front mounted snow thrower, it is a single stage unit and it will plug up with wet snow. Either use a rear mounted (two stage), the bucket or push plow.
Consider getting a grader box, so you can use the loader with the hoe removed.
Good luck on your decision.:thumbsup:
I've done an awfull lot of snow removal with a slightly bigger Kubota.
A bucket and back blade can do wonders. I do 90%+ of the work with the blade, then clean up the scaps with the bucket.
Ever consider a power sweeper?
even here in MI's UP, a sweeper could manage a vast majority of snowfalls.
Hi, I have a BX23 2006 which I purchased used with 98 hours and now at 675 hours going in my fifth winter.
I am using the frount mounted snow blower and the frount mounted blade all with the sub frame which is allowing a quick swith from either attachment.
I love the tractor and am very satisfied with its performance. I am also using the front end loader, the backhoe, a tiller, a mid mounted mower with a 3 point attached grass catcher.
I do all the maintenance myself.
Do not hesitate to ask any questions you might have.
I've always been a green and yellow guy, and my Deere is quite a bit larger, so I can't speak from first hand experience, but my brother has an about 8 year old Kabota, similar to, if not same as, the BX25, and it is a very impressive machine. The attachments are very easy to make, and the only maintenance that he has performed has been routine. He has the loader, backhoe, and mower, and all of them function very well.
I will say that I myself wouldnt buy a TLB of that size. Unless you live in A) sandy/light ground or B) just want to say that you own a back hoE !
As previously stated, you cant do any more then one function at a time due to hydraulic flow. I would save the money and get a loader and some three point implements.
As far as a snow blower for the front. I read that its only a "thrower" which is kind of odd ??? any thing that size should be a two stage ! but if it is only a "thrower" I would pass and get a rear mounted two stage ! or a nice hydraulic anlge blade for your loader !
Is the loader a quick attach unit ? If you plan on leaving it on its not so much an issue, but if you plan on taking it off, its something to think about !
Also, dont pass up the John Deere 2305 ! good financing right now and a little cheaper then the kubota ! I have driven both, and put both through the paces. After driving them all, MF, JD, KU, NH, Cub Cadet........ my money would be going to John Deere. just sayin..... good luck with your purchase !!!!

Probate & Property Magazine, March/April, Volume 24, Number 2
Uniform Laws Update | Property
Uniform Laws Update Co-Editor : Kieran Marion, Legislative Counsel, Uniform Law Commission, 111 N. Wabash Avenue, Suite 1010, Chicago, IL 60602-1917, email@example.com. Guest Editor : Ira J. Waldman is a partner with Cox, Castle & Nicholson LLP in Los Angeles, California, and served as the American Bar Association Advisor to the drafting committee on the Uniform Assignment of Rents Act. He is a member of the American College of Real Estate Lawyers and serves on the Joint Editorial Board for Uniform Real Property Acts.
Uniform Laws Update—Property provides information on uniform and model state laws in development as they apply to property, trust, and estate matters. The editors of Probate & Property welcome information and suggestions from readers.
Uniform Assignment of Rents Act
Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) provides a comprehensive legal regime for creating, perfecting, and enforcing security interests in personal property. The goal of the Uniform Assignment of Rents Act (UARA), adopted by the Uniform Law Commission in 2005, was to provide a similarly comprehensive legal regime for the creation, perfection, and enforcement of security interests in rents from real property.
Most states do not have a comprehensive statute concerning rents derived from real property. Thus, for the most part, the common law governs, resulting in different and confusing rules, depending on whether a particular state is a "title theory" state (where a mortgage or deed of trust "transfers" legal title in the real property to the mortgagee, permitting the mortgagee to collect rents absent an agreement to the contrary) or a "lien theory" state (where a mortgage does not transfer legal title and the mortgagee does not have such a right to collect rents, absent an agreement so providing). Most commercial loan transactions include, either within the mortgage instrument itself or by a separate assignment document, an assignment of the rents to the lender. Historically, the mortgage provisions or a separate document has taken the form of either an "absolute" assignment, an "absolute" assignment for security purposes, or a security (or collateral) assignment. These various iterations of the assignment have resulted in unusual and varied judicial decisions, most often in the bankruptcy courts, concerning the nature and meaning of an "absolute" assignment (can there be an assignment that truly assigns ownership of the rents absolutely to a mortgagee, as some lenders have claimed?), the perfection of a security interest in rents (is it perfected by recording or enforcement?), and the enforcement actions, if any, entitling the mortgagee to ownership of, or the right to collect, the rents.
The drafting committee and its various advisors and observers represented all of the various stakeholders with a potential interest in a uniform act and included the participation of lawyers involved in developing a comprehensive assignment of rents statute in the state of California, as well as lawyers involved in the drafting of the UCC, in order to avoid potential inconsistencies between the UARA and UCC. In the capable hands of Reporter Wilson Freyermuth, professor at the University of Missouri–Columbia Law School, the UARA accomplishes the following:
- clarifies when perfection of a security interest in rents occurs, overriding the morass of case law concerning such "perfection"—perfection consists of recordation in the land records in accordance with state law, not enforcement of the assignment post-default, and priority is then established;
- sets forth a variety of enforcement actions permitted by assignees post-default to establish entitlement to receive the rents (accrued and unpaid, as well as rents accruing in the future);
- establishes the right to rents of competing interest holders and provides rules for payment by (and protection of) tenants that receive conflicting notices regarding enforcement of an assignment of rents;
- eliminates the notion that there can be an "absolute" assignment of rents in connection with a real estate secured loan transaction—every assignment connected to a loan creates only a security interest in the rents;
- broadens the definition of rents to include any sum paid by a tenant, licensee, or other person for the right to possess or occupy the real property of another;
- provides rules to deal with potential conflicts with Article 9 regarding priority of rights to the proceeds of rents (personal property, cash in an account, and so on) as between an assignee of the rents and a secured creditor with a competing security interest in the proceeds as a result of an Article 9 security interest; and
- provides for the circumstances when an assignee who receives the rents may or must apply the rents for property protection or maintenance purposes.
Use of the rents by an assignee who enforces an assignment of rents generated the most discussion out of all the issues presented to the drafting committee. Although the common law may permit an assignee to retain the proceeds and reduce its loan, there was a vocal constituency whose perspective was that the proceeds should be required to be used for property protection or maintenance purposes, at least at some point in time following enforcement of the assignment and collection of the rents.
After considerable debate the resulting provision generally permits the assignee to use the proceeds of the rents, when collected, in accordance with its loan documents, with the qualification that the right of the assignee to do that is subject to the terms of any agreement between the assignor and tenant (generally, the lease) and any defenses or claims that the tenant might have to payment of the rents to the assignee as a result of nonperformance of the assignor's obligations under the lease or other occupancy agreement. In other words, let the common law and the contracts between or among the parties govern. If a tenant did not protect itself in its contract with its landlord, or if the tenant waived its rights in a contract with a lender (for example, through an estoppel certificate or a subordination, nondisturbance, and attornment agreement), then so be it.
But, to offer some degree of protection for the rights of a tenant, even to one that did not protect itself contractually, the UARA permits a tenant to obtain the appointment of a receiver if the nonpayment of property-related expenses harmed or could harm the tenant's interest in the property (there is an understanding that state law on the subject of receivers may need to be modified to accommodate this action).
Thus far, the UARA has been enacted in Nevada and Utah, with several pending enactments on the horizon. It is certainly a balanced and thoughtful approach to the issues involved in real estate secured lending and the entitlement to and use of rents generated from the real estate and merits strong consideration even in those states that have an existing assignment of rents law.

Beta Testing Fusion Wood Knife 8" (BD1 Steel)
Pros: Light, Balenced, and Pretty.
Cons: Too Flexible for hard vegetables, Leather Case is unsanitary, and Factory Edge could be sharper.
I did not buy this knife, I was asked to test it out so I do not know the price.
Hi my name is Chef Bobby Childs I am a Kitchen Manager in Training at The Culinary Institute of America. I spent the last week using the 9" Fusionwood handle chef knife and I have to say it is a pretty nice knife.
The first thing I noticed with the knife is that it comes in a leather sheath, it is unsanitary and because it is leather it will absorb water causing the sheath to smell. I like the whole matching sheath and handle, that was nice but I feel overtime i will have to switch to a different blade case. The second thing i noticed is how light the knife is. The tang of the knife is fatter in the center and gets thinner towards the tail end which leaves the knife evenly balanced. I learned that this knife acts kind of like a long petty knife. The heel of the blade is angled which allows to get a higher grip on the blade which gave me more control. I was able to do precise cuts with 100% accuracy but once i moved on to harder/denser vegetables such as carrots and butternut squashes the blade bent so much i was unable to be precise so i had to switch knifes. The handle of the knife only has 2 rivets attaching the handle to the blade which i know it saves time and money but in the long run it could cause problems. The final comment i have about the knife is the blade; the blade was fairly sharp but for how much i used the knife the sharpness did not last long and i found myself sharpening it on a wet stone. The edge came back fairly quick but left me with a question of "what kind of steel is the knife made out of?"
Overall the knife is a great knife for precise cuts but lacks the strength to be a "workhorse" knife. I would recommend this knife to most household consumers and all moderate level chefs. I would like to see on the blade of the knife what kind of steel it is and for the blade to have a sharper factory edge. This Knife looks great and is very light; I feel that it will become a knife I will use on a daily basis.

Travis Pastrana's Record Setting Mt. Washington Run; The Full Video
Travis Pastrana needs no real introduction but after seeing a video of his record-setting Mt. Washington Climb, we felt a tad empty. Sure it had some awesome footage of the car sliding around as it ascended the mountain, but we just thought something was missing. Thankfully another video has surfaced in full HD that satisfies every bit of our car junkieness.
The addition of a timer in the lower right hand corner clicking off the seconds as Pastrana makes the record run adds a lot of excitement to the video. Combined with a handful of different angles both in car and out, this is what every automotive video should be. Watch how the car reacts to Pastrana's driving and the on hood first person point of view gives an idea of just how fast his drive was and how dangerous it is with limited visibility as he gets towards the top.
If there's anything you do to make today worth something, watch the video.
Check out the 7 minute, 24 second video after the break.

Less margin for error is the simple reason a few members of the U.S. Soccer staff fear the semifinal phase of World Cup qualifying the national team is about to enter more so than the final,
definitive Hexagonal.
With six matches instead of 10, each game's importance is magnified, as is the cost of a stinker. The math should be the only troubling aspect of this semifinal round, since the two games against Antigua & Barbuda can be taken as gimmees and the Americans have never lost a qualifier against either Jamaica or Guatemala.
Naturally, that last item prompts pondering the possibility that at some point one of those nations will beat the USA in a real match, and given the weird bounces and bizarre officiating that can crop up in Concacaf events, if style points have to be sacrificed for standings points, that's the way to play.
Those points extracted out of Kingston, Guatemala City and Mazatenango over the past two dozen years didn't come easily. So while some fans may regard the semifinal round as a walk-through to the Hexagonal as Coach Jurgen Klinsmann and his players continue to refine their relationships, they should remember what transpired three months ago, when the U.S under-23s failed to advance out of group play in the Concacaf qualifying tournament. And all of those games were played at home.
The points are all that matters, yet in the first competitive interval of the Klinsmann era, these subplots are to be monitored:
Center-back shuffle. The short-term issue is who will be paired in central defense with captain Carlos Bocanegra; the longer-term question is who might replace the captain adequately so the USA doesn't need to rely on a 35-year old, as he will be in 2014.
Clarence Goodson has shown the best of three players to partner Bocanegra in the past few games, though a savvier, speedier alternative in Michael Parkhurst could be incorporated. Geoff Cameron is a hybrid of the two – Goodson's size and Parkhurst's ball skills – yet he doesn't yet look as confident under pressure as either of those two, which isn't surprising, given he's still mastering the nuances of converting from midfield.
Further down the road are the fates of Tim Ream and Omar Gonzalez, who are already falling behind the rest of the field.
Left backs limping. Another omission in addition to Ream, Eric Lichaj, may resurface at the left-back slot if injuries dog Fabian Johnson, who suffered a calf strain warming up for the Canada game and was scratched. Edgar Castillo, who may be able to suffice during the semifinal phase as an emergency backup, suffered an injury in Thursday's training and like Johnson is doubtful for Friday's game.
The emergence of Johnson at left back, where he played for German club Hoffenheim during the second half of the Bundesliga season, gives Klinsmann an automatic starter in a position that was a headache for predecessor Bob Bradley. His solid defensive work is complemented by eagerness to get forward and engage in combination play. He can also cross with either foot, a factor that should boost the U.S. attack as he gets more time in the team.
While promising to imbue a more fluid, skillful style of play, Klinsmann has also stressed the importance of a strong foundation in the back. Breakdowns, both collectively and individually, have hampered the team in its recent games.
Midfield matters. Johnson's value extends beyond his comfort on the ball and defensive acumen; his overlapping abilities and range enhance the abilities of Jose Torres, who started the play that led to the first U.S. goal against Scotland by winning a tackle near the sideline and releasing the ball.
Backed by Johnson and supported centrally by whichever teammate is available, Torres can find spaces and seams to supply balls into the attacking third. Torres at left mid is the antithesis of a romping, slashing Brek Shea, and switching one for the other significantly alters the midfield.
Yet the midfield is crowded with candidates, with Klinsmann dependent on the two-way attributes of Michael Bradley and whomever partners him in the middle. Jermaine Jones can contribute offensively – he assisted on two goals and scored once against Scotland – yet he's also reckless. His muscle and experience are desired commodities but a player easily goaded into cautions can be detrimental. The minutes and opportunities for Maurice Edu are hard to ascertain.
Big guns. The much-ballyhooed debut of the Clint Dempsey-Landon Donovan duo didn't dazzle in the 0-0 tie with Canada, and having both of them available is both a pleasure and a poser for Klinsmann. They are both creators and finishers and if on their game can handle the bulk of the playmaking given enough midfield support.
Whether the alignment is designated as a 4-4-1-1 or 4-3-3, getting Dempsey into a hole behind the forward(s) is probably his best spot, but working out the other positions has been tricky. Klinsmann can use a pair of central players behind Dempsey as the attacking mid with Donovan on one of the wings, which would keep Torres in the mix on the left in a 4-2-3-1. Torres and Donovan are very different players, so by using them on opposite flanks while allowing some freedom to roam, Klinsmann can confound both opponents and observers.
While many fans and pundits have speculated about which is the best formation to play, Klinsmann has stressed maximizing the abilities of players and finding the alignment that best fits their strengths and his tactics. While he's used all four of his forwards on his 23-man roster the past three games he's rarely put more than one on the field at the same time.
He could opt for the size and power of Jozy Altidore, or might prefer the guile and pace of Herculez Gomez.
In the opener Friday against Antigua and Barbuda, there will be pressure to attack early and score often. Four days later, Klinsmann gets his first test in a hostile Central American venue against opponents who have ample experience against American players at the club and international levels.
Six points would be great, four points are essential. The math starts here.

Who Mods Injectors
Hey...right now I have 565cc's (STi Pinks) and there not enough and I have those and some stockers laying around and I want to get one of the sets modded and I was wondering who would do that and how much bigger would the be on average after modding
they come out to around 800cc. you can get the modded and flow tested from witchhunter [url=http://www.witchhunter.com/]WitchHunter Performance - Injector Cleaning & Flow Testing Services[/url]
Got mine done at PDXtuning
Also, DW will give you $100 for 02-05 WRX Injectors or $200 for 06+/STi injectors via trade in.
bump...I need mine done real soon and WitchHunter is closing down for 2 weeks and PDX no longer mods injectors...so does anyone else know a shop that mods the injectors
Post right above yours..............thats all you got.
man that stinks...I was hoping to get them done for around 150...but if thats how I have to go I guess with the rebate its not too bad
another question...Will DW actually mod mine if i send them in or do they only sell the sets they have?...B/C I really would rather have my pinks modded
just mod them yourself, its easy. Shit i'll mod them for you, i just cant have them flow tested.
did you do ## own?
yep, but i had them cleaned flow tested at witchhunter, they are in my area like 20 minutes away.
yeah I really wanted them to do it...but there closing for a while and i really need it done soon...so exactly do you do, just cut the metal tip off?
all you do is grind the "screen" off the bottom of the injector.
The problem with cutting the caps is you don't get as good or consistent flow. A whichhunter injector (which has modded caps) will not be as consistant as a DW with new caps.
Thats why DW costs more, because DW actually replaces the caps on the injectors. Just my 2 cents.
By no means are the Whitchhunter injectors bad, but I would be willing to bet a DW injector that is rated same will flow more cc's and/or have more conisistant/similar flow over your 4 injectors.
well I'm getting DW's now because WitchHunter is going to be closed until the beginning of june

Is Customer Experience Important To Internal IT Organizations? With Free Statistics!
Posted by Stephen Mann on February 28, 2013
- 423 Recommendations
- 2 comments
You can guess where I stand on this otherwise I wouldn't be writing this blog and others like it ...
Yesterday I was a guest speaker in an Axios webinar, called "Using ITSM to Increase Business User Satisfaction and the Perception of IT," during which we ran four audience polls. I thought it would be great to share the poll results and my thoughts.
The webinar story arc …
I set the scene using many of my favorite graphics including the following which shows the gulf between the business' and IT's own opinions of how well the average internal IT organizations is doing …
… Before starting to look at how what we do and measure either increases or decreases the customer experience – including the fact that we often seem to be too focused on what we do in IT rather than what we achieve through what we do in IT (and IT service management (ITSM)). I also included a section on common metrics issues which I've previous blogged on here and here; and the customer experience work of my Forrester colleagues and its applicability to internal IT.
The poll results and my thoughts …
1. Do you consider the people that consume your IT services to be:
- End Users 17%
- Internal Customers 49%
- Business Users 28%
- Other 6%
Not unsurprisingly, given the webinar subject, half the audience was in a customer-centric state of mind and only 17% were aligned with the end-user mentality. The Other 6% might be external customers in the context of service providers.
2. Do you consider your IT department to be:
- Technology-centric 50%
- Service-centric 33%
- Customer-centric 17%
The 50% that are still technology-centric is scary, and I admire the responders' honesty. With hindsight it would have been interesting to ask a secondary question around whether there had been a corporate investment in ITIL and therefore some expectation of service-centricity.
3. Are you currently using a customer satisfaction metric to measure IT performance?
- Net Promoter Score 9%
- C-Sat 9%
- Our own CS metrics 61%
- None 21%
Key points for me here are:
- I'm surprised at the uptake of NPS but this could be employees of IT service organizations
- That one fifth or responders don't measure customer satisfaction
- The 61% that do their own thing are missing the opportunity to compare against benchmarks. And yes I know industry benchmarks can be dangerous.
4. Do you have an agenda to improve business user satisfaction in the next 12 months?
- Yes 60%
- No 24%
- We do now! 16%
Again the high number of yeses was expected due to the webinar title but I'm pleased to see the additional 16% who have been inspired (maybe too strong a word?) to go away and look at customer/business user satisfaction after the webinar.
It is a quick blog but I know people love stats. If you would like to view the on demand version of the webinar it can be accessed here (registration required).
As always, your thoughts and opinions are encouraged – this includes you Roy Atkinson of HDI … how do these stats stack up against yours?
Service centric is quite different from customer centric
Comment from Ian Clayton on Thu, 02/28/2013 - 12:47
Hi Stephen - sorry I missed the webinar - I'll check the replay. A few quick comments as the topic of customer satisfaction is at the heart of the outside-in for service work I do.
As you likely recognize, there is a vast difference between service centricity and customer centricity, assuming service mans a focus or bias towards designing and delivering ' a service' in the form of an application listed in a catalog, and service in the form of outcomes and a suitable customer experience.
I suspect a large number of respondents thought being service centric was the goal for ITSM initiatives and tool implementations. Something I still regard as 'inside-out' thinking.
Its somewhat expected, but still alarming that only 17% recognize or suggest they are 'customer centric'. We can only hope they truly know what that means.
I've similarly detected an increased awareness of NPS in IT, but I'm not convinced its being used properly. I have seen the 0-10 scale in action but it is seldom structured in the personal manner for greatest effect.
As an example to illustrate what I mean here, its best asked right after a specific customer event, a support call is a good backdrop, and asked thus, "are you now able to (do what you needed to do and the reason why you called support), would you recommend the service I've provided for this situation to a friend or colleague?"
I see airlines include this in emails speaking to a recent flight, and hotels to the last stay. So it has to be very situation and event specific and ask you if you would recommend the service provided to someone you know. Very powerful when used as a great indicator as to where customer engagement strategies should focus.
Hi Stephen - I enjoyed your
Comment from Dave O'Reardon (not verified) on Thu, 02/28/2013 - 22:47
Hi Stephen - I enjoyed your webinar and I was thrilled that, thanks to the likes of people like yourself and Ian, there feels like the customer-centric movement is gaining traction.
Ian - I recommend all our clients (internal IT departments) use an NPS-approach, but drop the "would you recommend" style of question altogether. I believe a "how satisfied are you" question is fine. The important thing is not the question itself but what you do with the answers:
- Are you calling back detractors to see if you can make things right (or at least learn something about how to do thing better next time)?
- Are you collating feedback and mining it for themes and trends?
- Are you using the score to monitor your performance over time (and, ideally, benchmark your performance with others)?

Well deserved for Barry, Bagwell should have gotten in alsoFormer Cincinnati Reds shortstop and current ESPN analyst Barry Larkin was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame on Monday, getting 86.4 percent of the vote by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
2012 Hall of Fame voting Barry Larkin was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame Monday on his third appearance on the ballot. A player needs at least 75 percent of the vote to gain election.
Barry Larkin 496 86.4 Jack Morris 382 66.7 Jeff Bagwell 321 56.0 Lee Smith 290 50.6 Tim Raines 279 48.7 Alan Trammell 211 36.8 Edgar Martinez 209 36.5 Fred McGriff 137 23.9 Larry Walker 131 22.9 Mark McGwire 112 19.5 Don Mattingly 102 17.8 Dale Murphy 83 14.5 Rafael Palmeiro 72 12.6 Others receiving votes: Bernie Williams, 55; Juan Gonzalez, 23; Vinny Castilla, 6; Tim Salmon, 5; Bill Mueller, 4; Brad Radke, 2; Javy Lopez, 1; Eric Young, 1.
A player needs at least 75 percent to gain election. A 12-time All-Star and the 1995 NL MVP, Larkin got 62.1 percent of the vote last year, falling 75 votes short as Roberto Alomar and Bert Blyleven were elected.
Jack Morris was next with 382 votes (67 percent), missing by 48 votes on his 13th try but up sharply from 54 percent last year.
Jeff Bagwell was third with 321 votes, followed by Lee Smith (290), Tim Raines (279), Edgar Martinez (209) and Alan Trammell (211).
Mark McGwire, 10th on the career home run list with 583, received 19.5 percent in his sixth try on the ballot, down from 19.8 percent last year and 23.7 percent in 2010 -- a vote before he admitted using steroids and human growth hormone.
Rafael Palmeiro, who received a 10-day suspension in 2005 for a positive test but is among just four players with 500 homers and 3,000 hits, failed to gain election again, getting 12.6 percent of the vote in his second appearance on the ballot.
Bernie Williams received the most votes among first-time eligibles, with 55. Bill Mueller got just four votes and will be dropped in future years along with Juan Gonzalez (23) and Vinny Castilla (six).
Larkin spent his entire major league career with the Reds from 1986-2004, hitting .295 with 198 home runs, 960 RBIs, 2,340 hits and 379 stolen bases. He won three Gold Gloves and the 1990 World Series.
He had hoped to return for a 20th season in 2005 at age 40, but retired after the Reds told him they didn't want him back.
Larkin will be inducted on July 22 at Cooperstown, N.Y., along with the late Ron Santo, elected last month by the Golden Era Committee.
The 2013 ballot figures to be the most controversial, with seven-time MVP Barry Bonds and seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens eligible for the first time along with Craig Biggio, Mike Piazza, Curt Schilling and Sammy Sosa.
Bonds, Clemens and Sosa have been implicated in the use of performance-enhancing drugs, allegations they have denied.

O'Dell swell for IceCaps Posted by IceCaps on
Pots winner late in third to give St. John's sixth straight win
Rookie Eric O'Dell may have only two goals this season, but both have been monumental.
With just 3:01 to play in regulation, O'Dell scored the eventual game-winner to lift the St. John's IceCaps to a 4-3 victory over the Connecticut Whale at Mile One Centre Sunday afternoon.
Peter Mannino, the game's first star, turned aside 35-of-38 shots in his return to the IceCaps since being reassigned to St. John's by the Winnipeg Jets. Mannino allowed all three goals in the opening period but was rock solid the rest of the way in picking up his third win of the season.
"I thought Peter battled hard," said head coach Keith McCambridge. "As the game wore on he got better and better. He found a way to stop pucks. He made big saves when we needed it."
Connecticut opened the scoring at 7:14 of the first period when John Mitchell scored on the power play – his third goal in two games this weekend – to give the Whale a 1-0 lead. Mitchell took a feed from Tim Erixon and made no mistake in beating Mannino. Tommy Grant later made it 2-0 on a wrist shot off the wing that beat Mannino low on the blocker-side.
St. John's pulled within one on defenceman Kyle Bushee's first AHL goal at the 14:40 mark of the first. Bushee, who pinched down low on the power play, banged home a rebound past Whale netminder Chad Johnson, who stopped 23 shots on the day.
Whale forward Carl Hagelin restored the two-goal lead just minutes later when a shot redirected off his face and past Mannino. However, Corner Brook native Jason King scored the first of his two goals on the night in the last minute of the first, beating Johnson cleanly off the wing after a brilliant feed from Marco Rosa.
King beat Johnson again just 3:19 into the second frame to tie the game at three on a beautifully placed shot high to the glove side. The score would stay that way until Ottawa native O'Dell's marker at 16:59 of the third, which proved to be the winner.
O'Dell's other goal was also of the game-winning variety, coming a little more than a week ago on the road in Hartford against the very same Whale team.
"I like O'Dell," McCambridge said. "He's another one of those depth guys. When he's in the lineup, he creates chances, he's good in his own zone and he plays with some sandpaper. I like his game a lot. He's one of those guys you can insert on the first, second, third or fourth line and he'll help you."
Both teams looked a bit sluggish in the early-going but picked up the pace in the third period. St. John's was outshot for just the second time this season but managed to find the back of the net on four occasions. It was the third straight game – and fifth in the last six – that the IceCaps have scored four goals or more. The IceCaps are a perfect 8-0-0-0 when scoring at least four times.
The win was the sixth in a row for St. John's, which has distanced itself from the second place Providence Bruins in the Atlantic Division. The IceCaps are 10 points up on the Bruins and have lost just twice in regulation all season, collecting points in 14 of 16 games overall.
"There's a lot of character in the make-up of that team," McCambridge stated, pointing towards his club's dressing room. "We saw that on the road and we see that quite a few times in the third period. They find ways to get goals, to come back and to scrape two points out of it.
"It's a real testament to the guys in that room and the character in that room."
The IceCaps continue to improve on special teams as well. St. John's has climbed to 19th overall on the power play after a 1-for-32 start to the season. Bushee's first period power play marker marked the seventh straight game in which the IceCaps have scored with the man advantage. Similarly, the penalty killers have been getting the job done as of late. Despite Mitchell's goal in the first, the St. John's penalty kill has risen to 16th overall (80.3%) in the AHL after some early-season troubles.
St. John's was able to come away with two points despite losing two key players prior to the start of Sunday afternoon's game. Captain Jason Jaffray, who recorded a hat trick in Saturday night's 8-4 win over Connecticut, was recalled by the Jets along with steady defenceman Arturs Kulda. Jaffray was tied for second in team scoring with seven goals and 12 points in 15 games, while Kulda was a plus-nine with six points in 13 contests.
"Some teams have a built in excuse with that (call-ups), when you don't have your lineup that you had two-and-a-half weeks ago," McCambridge said. "We've lost four of our upper end defencemen and our captain but the guys didn't miss a beat. It's a chance for the guys to earn more minutes."
Once again, the IceCaps played in front of a sold out crowd, the eighth consecutive sellout to begin their inaugural season. Sunday's game drew 6,287 fans, bringing the total attendance on the season to more than 50,000. On Saturday night the IceCaps set a Mile One Centre record for hockey with 6,503 fans in attendance. The IceCaps per-game average of 6,315 is fourth best in the AHL.
The next action for St. John's comes next weekend, November 18th and 19th, when the Norfolk Admirals come to Mile One for a two-game set. All games can be heard with play-by-play man Brian Rogers on 930 AM This Is Newfoundland Labrador and online at www.stjohnsicecaps.com. The pregame show begins 30 minutes prior to puck drop.
