Battery is 7 months old. It is a Mopar battery. Don't know model number. Was installed by selling dealer prior to my purchase.
2002 530i
I just had my alt. rebuild $170... I did it without taking off the fan, etc.. I already had an hydraulic tensioner on it. I then went back a week later and replaced the Idler pulley, that would have been done in 10 mins, if I didnt spend 45 mins fishing the pulley cap out of the fan shroud.. which now that I have done that, is really very easy to do, just prying space on the bottom between the shroud and the aluminum trim lets the stuck pieces fall out, then bend back.
The most diffcult part was getting the alt bolts back in the holes.. do the top first, since you can see the bolt come through, and align from the back side with a large allen wrench, then the bottom slides in very easily. It took all my wieght to push the alt back into its mounting slot, tight fit. But the alt. seems not to be too bad, if you prepare for tight fits (mentally)...
I also use a rachet closed end wrench on the top bolt, once I broke it with a bar. Like I say, metally prepare for tight quarters and you can do this without taking anything out of hte way, but the air intake.

I was just thinking about the 'dumb' mechanic holding the fan, while someone starts the engine.
If I remember correctly. If this fan is a viscous coupling type, it dosen't engage until the fan fluid gets hot. so you can actually hold the blades stopped while the fan itself is cool. I use to test the fan on my Range Rover classic, by knowing that once its hot and the engine is off the fan will not turn, but if not working, the blades will spin.
This idea, doesnt put stress on the engine until the engine is hot enough to need the fan, same theory as the electric fan, only on when needed.
IF someone was interested I still have my shop manual for the Rover, I could copy the fan diagram that shows this.
I still won't do what is being discribed... scares me just to thing of it.
Voltage was down to 12.15 volts this morning, 48 hours after a full charge. Will be purchasing a battery in the next day or two, time permitting.

I had the same problem.but my alt.was bad.so i got another 1 & charged the battery up.i also bought a voltage stablizer to help with the drainage.i suggest u buy 1 too,it works for me.i wont drive my car for dayz & still no drainage!!!
So much good information here, I'm not sure what else the OP needs.
In an attempt to help, I point the OP to the alternator test thread:
- DIY how to test a BMW E39 battery & alternator
And, I concur that, while it may be possible, it's definitely handy to remove the shroud & fan when replacing belts and/or tensioners.
Here's the procedure, for example:
- DIY for replacing the E39 I6 alternator (1) (2) (3) (4) or E39 V8 alternator (1) (2) (3) (4)
I also point the OP to this post to show how to tell which alternator you're replacing:
- How to determine exactly what alternator you have (1)
If Bosch, this lesser-known part-number hint may help:
- How to tell from the part number if the alternator is rebuilt "by" Bosch (1)
As for the battery, I too had trouble hefting the huge thing out of the trunk as shown here (hint: Don't do what I did!):

I read them all. I felt my results were anomalous from most of the referenced information as the alternator would register 13.6 +/- volts at startup but then drop quickly to 11.6 +/- volts. I couldn't find that discussed anywhere, but one can always look deeper. In my mind, and many others, the alternator was at fault and also explained the low voltage readings on the battery. 10 year old alternator vs. 6 month old battery also had me leaning toward the alternator.
Hindsight is 20/20. I should have charged the battery first prior to removing the alternator. That much I acknowledge. I had access to my tools and my hands. I did not have access to a battery charger so I dove into the alternator removal. I learned a lot in the process and would not hesitate to tackle it again if necessary. I would also be much more efficient.
I have a new Duralast 49-DL in the back of my Tahoe awaiting the charger and installation into the car.
I will report back after i put it all back together.

Is the car driven regularly? If not, that can cause short battery life. If you do not drive the car at least a couple times per week, and for 30 to 40 minutes minimum, you may not be keep the battery charged sufficiently. I would highly recommend the purchase of a battery charger that includes a cigarette lighter adapter. This makes for an easy and convenient way to keep your battery topped up. Even though I drive my car regularly, I still use a battery tender once or twice per week. My battery is over 5 years old an still load tests above its rated 900CCA!
You can find battery tenders for about $20 to $30 at many big box stores...if it doesn't include the cigarette lighter adapter, you can buy one with an 8 ft cord at Radio Shack and splice it on yourself.
The key feature in any battery tender is that it is microprocessor controlled and shuts off at full charge, rather than continuing to charge and boil off the electrolyte. Most 'trickle chargers' are of the latter type and not recommended.
If you want to go "all out" you can get one of these fancy ones from Griot's Garage: http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/...+manager+iv.do
540 M-Sport package (Canadian market), factory Bluetooth phone integration, factory M-Audio 10" dual voice coil subs, Homelink, M5 rear stabilizer bar, M5 rear subframe braces, H&R 15mm wheel spacers, ST X (KW) coilovers, Stop Tech ss brake lines, Akebono Euro Ceramic brake pads, oem Brembo and Zimmerman rotors, Dinan Stage 1 software, Strong Strut front upper stress bar, BMP strut tower reinforcement kit, USA Spec Ipod/Iphone integration.
Yes, car is driven regularly.
I think i just got a POS Mopar battery. I will have it tested when I drop it off for my core. If, for some unforeseen reason the battery test out OK, which I now doubt, I will just hang onto it.
2002 530i
Installed a new Duralast 49-DL two days ago. I fully charged the battery prior to install. I leave the house this morning and am monitoring the voltage on the cluster. Voltage on cluster varies between 12.2 and 12.4 volts and is independent of engine RPM. Doesn't make me feel too good. Three miles from home and suddenly boom; it feels like i've run over a piece of 1x lumber. I get the DSC and ABS lights (maybe others too). The battery light is also now on and the cluster reads "transmission failsafe mode". Car is now stuck in either 3rd or 4th gear. I debate taking car to my local parts store to scan but am concerned that I will not be able to get home afterward so I turn around and drive home while stuck in either 3rd or 4th gear.
I get home and read with my DMM a voltage of 12.12 volts at the battery. I start the car and now it reads 11.8 volts at the battery. The battery light is still on but I take it for a short drive through the neighborhood. It is no longer stuck in 3rd or 4th gear.
All arrows point to the alternator, that was previously bench tested as OK.
Short of buying a new alternator are there any other things I can check? Also, what was the boom that occurred? Was this the transmission locking into gear?
The saga continues!
Thanks again for any help!!!

Naw just go back and fully charge your battery & go to the auto parts store & buy a new Bosh alternater.i had the sam problem......it was the alternater.the trans is electrical.so any drop in the volts,it defaults the tranny & the whole car.let me know !!!
To close this one out, I put on a new alternator and all is well. Frustrated that when I had to original alternator bench tested it checked out OK so I put it back on and looked toward the battery. That was an exercise in futility. I think the most difficult part was re-installing the existing alternator. The lower mounting shoe was an extremely tight fit. At least now I have a new battery and alternator.
I also have to stand corrected. It is possible to remove the existing alternator and install the new alternator without removing the fan shroud. I did have to remove the fan. Not removing the shroud made re-installing the fan more of a challenge. Also, reinstallation of the serpentine belt was a challenge but ultimately do-able.
2002 530i
Wow what a saga. Congratulations on having it all sorted now. That boom and then the transmission going into failsafe mode could not have been a pleasant experience to say the least.
Also, I appreciate how annoyed you were about having the alternator bench tested as okay, and then it turns out to be faulty anyway.
I've just replaced my aux fan and I paid an hours labour to an auto electrician to make sure the fan was failing and not another part of the system. It didn't seem like he spent very long on it and I was thinking about how annoyed I'd be if he was wrong. That said, he was right though, the new fan is working just fine.
A great well documented tale of diagnosing and resolving a problem. Good lessons learned for all that follow. Appreciate your time and effort to document your experience. I am sure that it will be hepful to someone. And glad to see you resolved your problem!
It's always great to hear a resolution like this, with an actual solution to a problem. Glad you were able to persevere and fill us in on the gory details. Nice work, and thanks.
BMW--giving new meaning to the phrase "disposable income."
I know the initial tester was not trying to hose me. I was not charged for the test. When I took the alternator into my local store to purchase the replacement, the tech said "I have to test this one". I thought you can test it all you want, I'm not walking out of here with it.
Now if it would just stop snowing!!!!
2002 530i
To the OP, thanks for pointing me here as it's interesting to note an alternator that tests good but which is bad.
I'm having my own diagnostic issues right now - over here:
> E39 (1997 - 2003) > It's my turn again: Dead battery ... two days in a row ... (yeah, I know what to do)
So, we'll just have to keep in touch!

Cleve's long lost relative?

Cleve's long lost relative?
January 8th, 2013, 04:50
I found an amusing self-bio on Smashwords that I just need to share. This guy sounds like he must be Cleve's Canadian twin
I'm intensely and compulsively self-educated, I read at about 300 words per minute, and I've increased my IQ to about 160.
I've always enjoyed inventing and designing machines. Most of the machines I've designed are new types of vehicles.
I was a professional musician for about nine years. My musical skills include lead and harmony vocals, most styles of guitar and bass guitar, some drums and keyboards, songwriting, mixing, and production.
I spent about fifteen years researching and designing a comprehensive change in society and culture that will solve all the worlds major problems, guided by the principles of bio-sociology as introduced and developed by Prof. Edward O. Wilson, and influenced by Dr. Desmond Morris human sociobiology. I haven't worked on it like a fanatic over the last eight years like I did for the previous fifteen, but I have continued to develop my work in this field.
Ive also been influenced as a fiction writer by my sociological work, and my science fiction novel People Of The Tiger (and the rest of The Rational Future Series) is set in a utopian future where my social policies have been implemented, which is a good way to get those ideas out into the public consciousness.
Much of my social thinking permeates my fantasy novel Blessings Of A Curse as well, though its a lot harder to notice there. Ive also included my ideas on the law and legal reform in that book, though those policies were appended to the back of the book in an excerpt, for the sake of smooth readability.
BTW, the book he wrote is 400,000 words of pure bunk
After reading his bio, I had to see if he actually had any skill as a writer. At least Cleve has some minor programming skill to go with his astronomical ego.

The states for the feature dimension apply a test driven perspective and so you see the acceptance criteria being agreed early in state 2. The final state has an objective of accepting the feature, and not merely testing it. We want feature completion to be feature completion based on having meet acceptance criteria and not just a half-baked work.
The states for the architecture decision apply an architecture trade-off analysis perspective. The scenarios that exercise the decision are first explored before choosing a candidate solution amongst several identified solutions. The chosen architectural solution is then designed into the system and validated.
The state-cards are very useful to discuss and explain lean concepts. The complete flow from the first state to the final state is known as a "Value Stream" in lean terminology. If two consecutive states are worked upon simultaneously, then it makes sense to combine them. You can do so by stacking one state on top of another. Thus, using the state-cards, you can quickly understand and adjust the value stream. You can do other lean stuff like setting work-in-progress limits for each state, measuring the cycle time for each state and so on which I will not go into in this paper. Other work targets and their states can easily be added to manage various other value streams, but this is also beyond the scope of this paper.
Instead I will focus on how to manage different kinds of features. At any point in time, the development team is working on features and decisions at different states of completion. A lean feature Kanban can be defined using the state-cards as shown in Figure 7. The coloured circles represent different kinds of features. The blue ones represent simple features. The red ones represent difficult and challenging features.
Figure 7: Feature Kanban with Different Kind of Features
The Figure 7 illustrates the case when difficult features are blocking the work in feature state 3. The team members here are being overwhelmed and distracted by these features. There are various possible solutions to this problem. One solution is to add more people and have some people focusing on these tough features. But what you will find is that the work being done is of another nature. So, a better solution would be to open up another value stream to solve the challenges. This is depicted in Figure 8. The two arrows represent the flow of simple features and difficult features. The blue arrow represents the flow of fast moving and simple features. The dark red arrow represents the flow of difficult or challenging features. (Note: the cards at the bottom are entitled "Architecture Issue" rather than "Architecture Decision", but they mean the same thing when applied.)
Figure 8: Feature and Architecture Decision Value Stream
By separating "feature" and "architecture decision" value streams, you ensure a smooth flow in the feature value stream. There would be some coordination work between both streams and this coordination is conducted during iteration planning, or whatever forum a team might have.
5. Organizing Design of Lean and Agile Teams
If the team is small, highly competent (in many areas) and highly motivated, they would organize themselves naturally. However, in most cases, the team is not small and members are only competent in certain areas. Not everyone can do anyone else's job. In this case, some kind of team organization and role definition would be needed. But at the same time, having pre-defined roles is not good; it has to suit the project. Here the state-cards become handy again.
I group states and associate them with some team members as a way to define responsibilities, as depicted in Figure 9.
Figure 9: Organizing Work across Feature Value Stream
The responsibilities of the team members are described as follows:
- Product Ownership and Requirement Analysis. I assign the first two feature states as the responsibilities for two persons to play the role of a product owner and requirement analyst.
- Feature Teams. The next two states are allocated to two feature teams. The two teams are indicated by two groups of avatars at the top and the bottom.
- Acceptance Team. The final state is allocated to an acceptance team. They are responsible for evaluating the work on a different target environment and so on which is not feasible for the feature team.

Any stores in Seattle carry ADA?
I'll be driving up to Seattle from Utah for business, and was wondering if there were any stores there that carried ADA products such as Aquasoil and Power Sand. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks : D
Actually, I am curious about this too. I have a "new" 10G that I am going to be setting up, so I was wondering if "The Fish Store" has it - I figure I could just stop in, though.
If I find out before there is another post, I will let you know, kkau1!
I'd be curious too, since I was going to have some aquasoil shipped to my friends in Seattle.
No one carries ada stuff up here in the Pacific Northwest :(
Not from my lack of trying to get some wholesalers to carry it... check out:
Aquarium Design Group | flash detection
you will have to pay shipping... If you belong to GSAS you might be able to get everyone in on a group order and get a great deal on the soil with whiteglove shipping to someones business.
Cheers, Whitepine
Aquarium Design Group
You might contact them and ask if the ship to any fish stores on you path.
Thanksfor the responses. Was hoping a major city like Seattle would have a store carrying ADA stuff. I'm intersted in ADA substrates..... and they're reasonably priced... until you add in shipping : (
I'll talk with the owner of Kings Discus, he seems like the only fella around this town that would have the flava to carry ADA products. I'm doind some fish shopping tomorrow, I'll post!
Well, there's apparently one in Arizona:
Which hardly helps if you're in Washington, of course!
Aqua Forest in San Francisco is an ADA distributor, Seattle doesn't even have a major store that carries a decent selection of plants, never mind ADA stuff
Aquaforest will ship, give them a call.
i bet i can have a store carry aqua-soil within a few weeks... ehh or i can just order in and at least i'll have what i need...
I read another post about finding ADA, and it said there is a small store called Aquarium Plus in Seattle. I haven't been to it, but I hear they sell a few ADA products. I also read it's really hard to find.
The store is now called Fishaholics. It is somewhat small, but does carry some ADA products. They have items that other stores don't have, but it really is a hole in the wall. It is surprising that for such a small store, they don't seem to fully utilize their space; many tanks are empty and not a lot of hard goods.
However, they do carry rimless tanks, aquasoil, seiryu stone, shrimp, and things for planted tanks.
1207 S Jackson St
Ste 108
(between S 12th Ave & S Boren Ave)
Seattle, WA 98144
Neighborhood: International District
If you're going through Portland, OR, there's a must-see store called The Wet Spot Tropical Fish. They're the biggest on the west coast and have everything. Literally. Including ADA Aquasoil.

Now this is talking a dynaco using the kt66s but I assure you that you search,you will find those that used them in the 8b..Im not saying to switch but I am saying they are worth a roll because they sound incredible in the 8B as I have heard them in my 8 and my friend's 8b.
When problems become increasingly difficult,we can always rely on our collective knowledge and seek relief.
Follow Ups:
Look at the schematic. How did the designers choose to deal with g3 and the cathode? Why did they do what they did? Does a 6L6 or KT77 allow this circuit to operate as designed? Just because the thing operates without blowing up doesn't mean that it operates as it should. Web references from persons unknown changes nothing in this regard. You could use automatic transmission oil in your car's engine and it would probably run okay but that doesn't mean you should. Go ahead and roll 6L6s into your 8B and sure, it will probably work. You may even like it. But it ain't an 8B any more.
you will see there are several scenarios as far plate load operating points go.We learn new things everyday.The mids in an EL34 are very nice..The extremes are cut off even in the 8 by comparison when I use the EL34.Also,my xf2s and Xf1s are mushy by comparison to the KT77 and the KT66 as well the RFT el34s..The metal EL34s are ok when you bias them hotter.
As I have said,nobody has to quit using the EL34..I have over 200 el34s of my own..Its just fun to roll and experiment.Why do people soup up their cars?Its fun and its a nice effect.
When problems become increasingly difficult,we can always rely on our collective knowledge and seek relief.
"Does a 6L6 or KT77 allow this circuit to operate as designed?"
I know what you mean, but...
... But if it operates in a way that pleases the ear of the listener - and it doesn't blow up - who's to say they are wrong?
...That tells me they don't care for an 8B. So why not get an amp that's designed for tube rolling? If I'm not mistaken, Roger Modjeski makes a point that some of his designs can take all kinds of output tubes with minor only adjustments. There are others. Bottom line is that if one owns an 8B and likes 6L6 types in it, fine with me. What I do find bothersome is when someone makes a tube rolling recommendation to someone else for an amp like an 8B w/o also stating that circuit operation will be changed by the sub. This is more than just sampling the different flavorings of tube; it's technically a circuit change too.
If you look on the HongKong threds,you will find many people running Kt66s in the 8B..Before you criticize it,why don't try and see for yourself.
I run kt77s and 6ca7s in mine as well as the KT66..Whats wrong with rolling tubes? People obviously like the effect.
When problems become increasingly difficult,we can always rely on our collective knowledge and seek relief.
...do you know why the 8B cathode/g3 circuit is the way it is? I know I don't know for sure. I believe it's irresponsible to recommend what amounts to circuit changes to the amp w/o knowing this and the potential consequences of the changes. Just swapping out tubes and hoping for the best is insufficient IMO, esp when it's someone else's amp.
Understand that I'm not criticizing the sound of the rolled 8B or the tastes of those who do it. Rather, I'm criticizing those who unwittingly recommend making changes to an amp's circuit with no understanding of what they're changing (or even that they're making a change in the first place) and the possible consequences of those changes.
cathode is tied to the beam forming plate thru the 3.3 ohm resistor.Most of the 8B character comes thru its FB and transformer design.Yes,the some tubes tie 1 and 8 together but that isn't an issue that causes real problems that I have found.I will sweep my model 8 with kt77s again and kt66s and I will see if there is any issues with the FR being all over the place.In the meantime,you have an 8B,why not try some different tubes and see how you like it? Its not going to hurt the amp.
When problems become increasingly difficult,we can always rely on our collective knowledge and seek relief.
Edits: 06/25/12
In the 8B it's 6.8Ω paralleled by 0.02�F. I doubt that a simple frequency sweep will reveal much of anything since I suspect the network has to do with either stability and/or response linearity into reactive loads. The 8B was advertised as unconditionally stable into any load with any signal and each output transformer was individually tweaked at the factory with a couple of trimmer caps in the feedback circuit to help assure this.
As far as trying different output tubes, I already stated that I tried NOS GEC KT77s and didn't care for them. I thought the Mullard/Amperex EL34s were best with the RFTs not far behind. RFTs are in there now. Based on this, I'm sticking with EL34 types, thank-you. YMMV.
The RFTs are my favorite of the EL34s because they have upper and lower detail that I felt was lacking in most EL34s including my Amperex D getters..I do like the metal base after they are on a while but I still get that mushy sound that kind of smears everything. The mids are nice tho..Try the kt66s grey bottles..Those are the ones I really liked in my 8 as well as the RI KT66 Gen..I may get the nines out and play around with them..They were given to me by one my of old audio mentors who bought them new in 1964 along with a Scott 4310 and s 7c..I never took the 7C or the 4310 and I ended buying a 4310 for 1600 a couple years ago.

These typically include, but are not limited to, digital programming packages, premium channels, Pay-Per-View, On Demand, and onscreen programming guide. A CableCARD is an additional device, about the size of a credit card, available at retail outlets, designed to provide some of the same functionality available with a Charter issued digital receiver (i.e., view digital encrypted cable channels without using a receiver) when used with a television set or an approved retail purchased digital receiver that supports it. A CableCARD will not provide all services (including, but not limited to, two-way communication services such as the on-screen programming guide, On Demand, on screen ordering of Pay-Per-View). In cable systems that are not "all-digital," "cable ready" television sets may be connected directly to the cable system and will receive analog signals present on the system without the use of a digital receiver (typically most, but not all, Limited Basic channels).
A digital receiver functions as a tuner/decoder that receives the cable channel selected by the viewer and converts it to a format that can be received by the customer's television set or device. This converted signal is usually displayed on the TV input the digital receiver has been connected to (e.g., HDMI1, HDMI2). Some digital receivers also provide video and audio outputs, which can be connected to the video and audio inputs of additional devices such as DVD players or gaming consoles. To operate your television set after it is connected to a Charter-issued digital receiver, use the remote provided with your television (not the Charter remote) to tune to the corresponding TV input as needed. Older TV sets may need to be tuned to channel 3 or 4. Then, use the Charter remote to select each channel you wish to watch. To ensure reliable operation, confirm the receiver is plugged into a non-switched power outlet (one that is not controlled by a light switch) and that connections on the back are secure. Loss of power to the receiver may result in a temporary loss of your cable television service. Cable jumpers, signal splitters, amplifiers or A/B switches may cause signal degradation if they do not meet Charter's standards. Please contact us for assistance in connecting any additional equipment to your home network, or visit www.charter.com/support .
COMPATIBLE REMOTE CONTROLS: Charter's digital receivers work in conjunction with universal remote controls. Charter can provide a universal remote, or various models can be found at retail stores. A few model examples are: Sony RMVLZ620, RCA RCRPS06, and Logitech Harmony 650. Remote control manufacturers update products frequently, so these exact models may not be available at the time of purchase. Should you have a question about the compatibility of your remote control unit, please call the remote manufacturer or contact Charter.
INSTALLING YOUR VCR AND DVD: Installation of your VCR or DVD can be completed through a variety of different methods depending upon your viewing and recording requirements. If you need assistance, Charter personnel will help you understand how to install DVD/VCR and cable television service compatible entertainment components.
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: Bypass Switches/Splitters - This switch is installed on the input side of the receiver to permit signals to bypass the receiver and be routed directly to your television set, DVD or VCR. This will permit the simultaneous recording and viewing of different non-secure programs, the consecutive recording of non-secure programming on different channels, and the use of picture in picture features for non-secure channels. This switch may be part of your receiver or it may be a separate device.
Amplification Equipment - Charter is required by federal regulation to deliver a minimum signal to each television set. Charter's network is designed to provide the required signal for up to four home devices. For example, if five or more outlets or devices are connected to the home network, a signal amplification device may be required and may be sold to the respective customer. Charter will install the amplification device.
A Parental Control feature is available to prevent children from watching certain programming. You may place channels under Parental Control by blocking out a channel number and/or program rating on the digital receiver. The starter kit manual provided with the Cable Service includes instructions on how to implement and monitor the Parental Control features. Should you deactivate the Parental Control feature, even for one channel or event, this will deactivate the Parental Control feature for all other channels that were previously locked out. You will then have to reactivate the Parental Control to again block out the desired channels. It is recommended that you occasionally verify that the Parental Control feature is activated and operational. If you do not utilize a Charter issued receiver, you can notify us to request a special filter to prevent reception of certain channels.
REQUEST FOR CONNECTION/SECURITY DEPOSIT: Request for connection may be made at the local Charter office, via the Internet at www.charter.com, or by mail or telephone. Customers will be advised of installation and applicable pre-payment amounts. You authorize Charter to make inquiries and to receive information about your credit experiences, including your credit report, from others, to enter this information in your file, and to disclose this information concerning you to appropriate third parties for reasonable business purposes. Based on the results of a credit check, customers may be required to provide any applicable pre-payment (based on services requested) as a condition of service and applicable service restrictions may apply. Someone over eighteen (18) years of age with a government issued picture ID must be home during any installation or repair of your cable television Service. Charter requires its employees to display identification during visits to a customer's service location. Unless otherwise specified, billing begins on the date of physical installation.
CHARTER EQUIPMENT: Charter will repair and/or replace defective Equipment, if any, as long as such damage was not caused by misuse or other improper operations or handling by you. Charter shall have the right to presume misuse or other improper operations or handling by you in the event you request repair or replacement more than twice in any twelve (12) month period, or more than three times in any twenty-four (24) month period, and shall have no obligation to fulfill any such repair or replacement.
Charter is not responsible for the maintenance or repair of Customer-provided equipment, including but not limited to telephones, computers, modems, or any other related Customer-provided equipment. A service charge may be imposed upon the dispatch of a technician if there is damage to Charter Equipment due to negligent use or abuse or if no fault is discovered in Charter's system or Equipment. Charter makes no warranties, with respect to Equipment or Service provided by Charter or with respect to the Equipment's compatibility with any Customer-provided equipment. You are responsible for any misuse of Charter's Equipment, the Service, or any third party services that you have contracted for, even if the inappropriate activity was committed by a friend, family member, guest, employee or another Customer with access to your account. You agree to maintain the security and confidentiality of your user names and passwords or similar credentials that enable you to access the Cable Service. You further agree not to disclose such credentials to any third party. The Equipment, Service or third party services may not be used to breach the security of another user or to attempt to gain access to any other person's computer, software or data, without the knowledge and consent of such person.
Charter's sole obligation and your sole remedy with respect to any liability or damage caused by your use or deployment of Charter Equipment, shall be a refund of fees paid by you for such Equipment for the previous billing month/cycle. You shall not use Charter's Equipment or the Service for illegal or inappropriate activities or otherwise engage in any illegal or inappropriate activities in their course of dealings with Charter.
CUSTOMER PROPERTY: Charter assumes no responsibility and shall have no responsibility for the condition or repair of any Customer-provided equipment and/or software. You are responsible for the repair and maintenance of Customer-provided equipment and/or software. Charter is not responsible or liable for any loss or impairment of Charter's Service due in whole or in part to a malfunction, defect or otherwise caused by Customer-provided equipment and/or software. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, you agree to allow Charter and our agents the right (A) to install hardware in, (B) send software downloads to, and (C) install, configure, maintain, inspect or upgrade Customer-provided equipment to the extent necessary to provide Service. You warrant that you are either the owner of such equipment or that you have the authority to give Charter access to it.
CARE OF PROPERTY AND SERVICE: You agree that neither you nor any other person (except Charter's authorized personnel) will: (A) open, tamper with, service, make any alterations to the Equipment; or, (B) remove or relocate any Equipment from the service address of initial installation. Any alteration, tampering, removal, etc. or the use of Equipment which permits the receipt of Services without authorization or the receipt of Services to an unauthorized number of outlets, or to unauthorized locations, constitutes theft of service and is prohibited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon receipt of a request by you, Charter shall relocate the Charter Equipment for you within your home at a time mutually agreed to by Charter and you. You may incur a charge for such relocation and should consult a current Charter schedule of rates and charges prior to requesting such relocation. If you move residences outside of Charter's service area, you shall notify Charter that this Agreement shall be terminated and all Charter equipment should be immediately returned.
SERVICE CALLS: If you have a technical problem that is cable system related, there will be no charge for the service call if the problem is associated with the cable plant that Charter maintains. In all other cases and where the problem is a result of unauthorized tampering with the cable or abuse of Charter's Equipment, a service call charge may be assessed.
COMPANY CHANGES IN SERVICE AND CHARGES: All programming content, services, equipment and rates are subject to change in accordance with applicable law. To the extent required by law, after notification of a re-tiering of Charter services or a rate increase, you may elect within 30 days to downgrade the services you are receiving at no additional charge. Otherwise, changes by you of the Services you receive may result in upgrade, downgrade, or change of service charges. Please contact Charter if you have questions.
BILLING STATEMENT: Braille or large print billing statements are available by request and can be provided within 30 days of Charter's receipt of the request. To request these statement options, contact Charter's Customer Care Billing Dept at 1-888-438-2427. Once this option is requested, billing statements & associated customer letters will be received in Braille or large print.
PROCESSING FEES: Additional fees may apply if a Charter Customer Service Representative's assistance is needed for payment.
CORRESPONDENCE: Do not mail written correspondence with your bill statement. Please contact Charter Customer Service with any additional needs.
CHARTER REFUND POLICY/30-DAY GUARANTEE: New Customers (those who have not been Charter customers for 30 days prior to subscription) qualify to have all levels of subscription Service refunded/ credited if not fully satisfied with the service. Current Customers adding a new level of subscription Service qualify to receive a refund/credit on those newly added Services only. Such refund is valid for customers who pay for their first month of new or upgraded monthly recurring subscription Services. Pay-Per-View and other non-recurring subscription purchases are not refundable. You are limited to one refund or credit per household. Refunds/credits will be given only when request for cancellation of Service is received by Charter within 45 days of installation of Service (30 days subscribing to the Service, plus 15 day grace period for formal request of refund/credit). Any equipment associated with the new subscription must be returned prior to release of refund/credit. Any state taxes, franchise fees and other fees or charges that may apply are your responsibility and will not be refunded or credited. Installation fees may apply for complex installation and more than one outlet. Other restrictions per any offer apply.
PAYMENT OF CHARGES: You will be billed monthly in advance for Services to be received, plus pro-rata charges, if any, for periods not previously billed. You will be billed monthly for Pay Per View, On Demand or other Services ordered where charges are based on actual usage or on orders placed during the previous month. You shall pay all monthly charges and all applicable fees and taxes as itemized on the Charter monthly bill. Payment is due by the due date and becomes past due upon your next billing cycle. The date on which a bill becomes past due may vary on a community-to-community basis depending upon applicable law.
Subject to Charter's Refund Policy and 30-Day Guarantee for new Customers, Customer shall be responsible for the full monthly charge for those Services that are offered on a monthly subscription basis to which the Customer has subscribed, regardless of Customer's termination of such monthly Service prior to the conclusion of the respective subscription month.
You shall notify Charter of disputed items within thirty (30) days of receipt, or longer as required by applicable law. Failure to pay charges billed (including checks returned for insufficient funds) may result in discontinuance of Service, the removal of all Charter Equipment (as defined below) and/or imposition of a late payment or service charge. If you have more than one account (business and/ or residential) served by Charter, all Charter-provided Services at all locations may be subject to suspension or discontinuance of Service in the event any one account remains unpaid, and Charter may apply any funds received from you first to such delinquent account(s). Should you wish to resume a Service after any suspension, you may be subject to a reconnection fee. Should you wish to resume a Service after termination of Service, Charter may charge an installation fee and/or service activation fee. These fees are in addition to all past due charges and other fees. In the event collection activities are required, an additional collection charge may be imposed.
LATE FEE: If your account is 30 days past due, a reminder message will be included on your monthly bill. If your past due balance remains unpaid, you may be charged an applicable late fee in addition to your past due balance at Charter's then current rate. If your account remains unpaid your Services may be disconnected. You can avoid incurring late fees by paying your monthly bill promptly. Any late fees assessed are not considered interest credit service charges, finance charges or penalties. Charter expects that you will pay for Services on a timely basis, and Charter does not extend credit to customers.
ON LINE AND PAYMENTS BY PHONE: The payment functionality on Charter's website and payment by phone service is provided for the exclusive personal use of Charter customers. No payment processor may use this website to effect a payment in the name of a customer without authorization in writing from Charter. Any attempt to do so will be considered an unauthorized interference with the intended operation of the website or phone systems.
PAYMENT BY CHECK; NON-SUFFICIENT FUNDS: If you make payment by check, you authorize Charter to collect such payment electronically. You may not amend or modify this Agreement with any restrictive endorsements (such as "paid in full"), releases, or other statements on or accompanying checks or other payments accepted by Charter; any of which notations shall have no legal effect. If your card issuer or financial institution refuses payment for insufficient funds, closed or unauthorized accounts, or any other reason, you will be charged an insufficient fund charge (as set forth in the applicable Video Service rate card) for each instance in which such payment is refused. You hereby authorize Charter to collect any declined amount and the insufficient funds charge(s) electronically from the subject account. In addition, your Service may be suspended and/or terminated. This fee is in addition to any charges your financial institution may assess. If initially rejected, Charter or authorized agents may make additional multiple attempts to execute the payment for up to thirty (30) days following the initial refusal. You will be responsible for any payment processing fees incurred when using a third party to process your payments to Charter.
TERMINATION OF SERVICE/DISCONNECTED ACCOUNT: You may terminate Service at a local Charter office in person, by written notice or by telephone. Charter reserves the right to terminate your service based on your delinquent status or any misuse of Service. Charter will make reasonable efforts (may include written notices, phone calls, text messages, e-mail, Internet messages, etc.) to contact you about a pending suspension or disconnection resulting from an unpaid balance. In the unlikely event that your account has been disconnected for nonpayment, you may be liable for all reconnect fees, past due balance, and 1st month service in advance, and any pro-rated charges. If your account remains unpaid, it may be forwarded to a 3rd party collection agency for collections and your credit report may be negatively impacted.
Upon termination, Charter may charge additional fees on any unpaid balance, and reserves any and all other rights it has under the terms and conditions of Customer's service agreement with Charter and otherwise under applicable law with respect to billing for Service and unreturned Equipment. A charge for any unreturned Equipment will be posted to Customer's account and will appear on the next available billing statement. In the event that the Equipment is destroyed, damaged, lost or stolen, or not returned to Charter within ten (10) days of termination of Service, Customer shall be liable to Charter for applicable on-going rental fees and/or unreturned Equipment charges as set forth in Charter's then current schedule of charges. Further, Customer understands and agrees that Charter reserves the right to charge Customer's credit card on file at termination of Service in the amount of ongoing rental fees, any outstanding balance and/or any unreturned Equipment charges, in accordance with applicable law.
DISRUPTION OF SERVICE: You should notify Charter as soon as possible of any service outage you are experiencing. Charter endeavors to respond to a complete outage in a customer's Service within 24 hours of the outage being reported, except in situations beyond our control. In no event shall Charter be liable for any failure or interruption of program transmissions or Cable Service resulting in part or entirely from circumstances beyond Charter's reasonable control. Subject to requirements under applicable law, credit may be given for qualifying outages. For VT customers, Charter will provide a proportionate, monthly service charge credit, on a day-for-day basis, to each customer who notifies Charter of a service outage that continues for twenty-four consecutive hours (as measured from the time the customer reports such outage). For NY customers, Charter will provide to a customer who notifies Charter of a service outage, a credit of 1/30th of recurring monthly service charges for any service outage that continues for four or more hours during any 24-hour period (as measured from the time the customer reports such outage). To the extent required under applicable law upon Customer request, Charter shall provide Customer with the appropriate credit, for qualifying events.
Charter strives to resolve any complaints concerning its Service as expeditiously as possible. Charter maintains offices and trained maintenance staff to be promptly available to you upon request, and technical personnel will be dispatched as warranted. Should you have any complaint regarding quality of service, equipment malfunctions, or similar matters, please contact Charter Customer Service at 888-438-2427, which is available to you 24 hours a day. If a complaint remains unresolved, you may elect to write a brief explanation of the complaint and actions taken, and bring them to the attention of Charter's corporate office by mailing to Charter, Attention: Customer Complaint, 2 Digital Place, 4th floor, Simpsonville, SC 29681. During the dispute period, we will not terminate service provided you pay the undisputed portion of any outstanding or future bills.
If your dispute remains unresolved (after contacting Charter first), local governments may designate individuals, councils, boards, committees, or commissions to assist in resolving complaints and ensure compliance with all laws and regulations. Please consult the local franchise authority listed on the back of your monthly billing statement. If you reside in one of the following states, you can contact the state agency applicable to the state you live in. For example,
Any person who unlawfully intercepts or receives communications provided over a cable system or tampers with cable equipment violates the Federal Communications Act as amended. [See 47 U.S.C. §553]. This includes the theft of audio, video, textual data, or other service, including data transmitted to or from a customer over a system that has interactive capability. Cable theft can also occur when an individual continues to receive Charter's cable signal subsequent to termination of Service. Parties found guilty of cable theft are subject to both civil and criminal penalties, which may include substantial fines and/or time in prison. These prohibitions apply to manufacturers, suppliers and users of unauthorized cable devices.
To contact Charter call 1-888-GET CHARTER (1-888-438-2427) or visit www.charter.com.

The best advice I've ever received about art came from my poetry professor at massart: Ted Richer. He told me I was veiling myself, censoring myself, and it made my poems weaker. Since then I've never censored myself in any creative venture and never regretted it. Yes, my work can be vulgar. Yes, it can even be unpleasant to look at.
But isn't that the point?

Travel: Escape to Sea Island, GA
Posted: Aug 05 2014
August is here, but summer isn't over yet! There's still plenty of time to sneak in a fun escape. First stop on our list this month is Sea Island. We've polled the insiders, and here's what we're suggesting for your weekend (or maybe you should make it a full week) jaunt to Georgia...
1. Pack: Grab your embellished garb and colorful accessories. The more vibrant the colors, the better
2. Eats: May we suggest...
- Carry out BBQ from Southern Soul (don't forget the fried green beans). This is our #1 pick for a group dinner after a long beach day
- Fried chicken at the Oak Room, which overlooks the golf course. Grab s'mores at the Lodge afterwards
- Dinner at Bennie's Red Barn. Leave room for the "raccoon" for dessert
3. Explore: You won't want to miss a thing.
- Rent a kayak and head up the marsh to sneak a peek at the houses
- Take a day trip to Cumberland Island to see the wild horses and the Carnegie Estate (also, this is the spot where JFK Jr. was married!)
4. Things to do: There's more to do than just sit on the beach.
- Go skeet shooting on the marsh
- Grab your friends and hit the tennis courts (& grab smoothies from the Spa afterwards)
- Play Cloister Bingo! (not just for the old folks)
- Head to Zigi's to dance the night away to 90s hits. Always a favorite.

You should check the Metasploit Unleashed by Offensive Security here.
Should give you some answers as well as a great tutorial.
Okay, so some of you may have seen my post on asking what path I should take, but I ran into something called metasploit. There seems to be tutorials everywhere and I googled the definition but it keeps coming up with "The Metasploit Project." The main page of metasploit.com has this quote "Metasploit provides useful information and tools for penetration testers, security researchers, and IDS signature developers." So my question is, for clarification to make sure I understand it; Is Metasploit a batch of tools that are used to gain entry to other computers, or gain information from other computers? I know they could go hand-in-hand, you can gain entry in order to access information from within the computer, or you can get the information required to gain access to a remote computer, but with pen-testing in mind; What is the main purpose of metaploit?
I'm trying to look at the various tools available for all the paths so I can get a feel of what is out there. So I'll make sure that I won't ask questions like these unless I really need some clarification like this one.
You should check the Metasploit Unleashed by Offensive Security here.

Metasploit is definitely one of backtrack's swiss army knives. Learn it well.
thanks for the link kmdave, I never found that page before. This is definitely a deeper tool than I anticipated. It seems as if it may be useful no matter what I choose to do.

Most of the time you will find me dancing or working out. I also went to school for cosmetology. I will soon be licensed! I love make-up, hair, and skin care. Although I love getting made up for shoots, I usually go natural the rest of the time. I'm passionate about modeling and hopefully get more experience. I consider myself a respectful and caring person and hope that my being different will take me far. I have big goals and dreams that i believe with perserverance i can make a reality :)

IPM Survey Report August 2014: A second report presenting the results of an online-based statewide survey on farming practices, pest challenges, pest management practices, and farmers' IPM knowledge was conducted by the LUCE IPM program. The large representation of farmers who reported growing their products organically allowed for comparisons between the concerns, practices and interests of organic versus conventional producers.

To deliver unbiased, research-based, sustainable and timely solutions to pest problems in vegetable farms, thereby helping maximize economic returns and environmental health.
The mission of the Integrated Pest Management Program (IPM) at Lincoln University Cooperative Extension (LUCE) is to
- train farmers on the ecological benefits of implementing IPM practices.
- increase the level of adoption of IPM components.
- increase the effectiveness of pest management techniques.
- develop science-based pest management programs that are economically and environmentally sustainable and socially appropriate.
- protect human health and the environment by reducing the risks associated with pesticide use.
The LUCE IPM program aims at developing and promoting affordable, alternative, insect pest management strategies to combat insect pests of vegetable crops in Missouri. Emphasis is being made to provide underrepresented, low-income farmers with research-based information on effective and environment-friendly IPM tactics. Our main goal is that Missouri's farmers increase the level of awareness and adoption of IPM components leading to increased profits while decreasing inputs and pesticide use. Extension activities include one-on-one interactions, workshops, presentations, extension publications and on-farm demonstration trials.
Environmental responsibility is a very important aspect of our program. IPM is a comprehensive and environmentally friendly approach to solving pest problems that relies on a combination of commonsense preventive practices. Examples include the use of resistant crop varieties; cultural practices such as sanitation, crop rotations, and trap crops; and the creation of habitat for natural enemies and pollinators. Pest monitoring is a critical component of an IPM program. If needed, treatments are made using least-risk options to target the pest without negatively impacting beneficial insects and the environment.
An important goal of the LUCE IPM program is that the biologically based, effective and sustainable IPM technologies that we develop and promote can be transferred directly to farmers. We listen carefully to the concerns that the resource-limited, minority, vegetable farmers have about preventing and solving pest problems. We respond to their needs by delivering up-to-date research-based information. When information is not available, we conduct research and communicate our results to the growers so that they can implement the new recommendations.
|The LUCE IPM program aims at inspiring teachers, students and people in general to learn about insects, their role in nature and about IPM-based science.

Bacterial Canker of Tomatoes: This webinar was offered on July 30, 2012, in response to recent outbreaks that have been documented in various Midwest states including Missouri (2011, 2012) and Ohio (2012). This webinar featured presentations by plant pathologists Dan Egel (Purdue University) and Sally Miller (Ohio State University). In this webinar, the following topics were covered: (1) how to diagnose bacterial canker in the greenhouse and in the field, (2) disease development and spread routes, (3) disease prevention practices, and (4) disease management options.
This event was hosted by the Lincoln University Cooperative Extension IPM Program in collaboration with The Ohio State University and Purdue University.

When you're highlighting entire rows or columns in MS Excel the program will let you know how many have been selected as you go.
But, have you ever noticed that you can't get that same information when you're highlighting a range of cells?
I mean, we often need just a partial row and column and that handy-dandy little counter doesn't appear in those instances.
What to do, what to do… manually count?
Let's hope not since that's not really feasible in a lot of cases… So now what?
Well, while you may not have noticed it, Excel is letting you know just how many rows and columns are involved in your selection.
The catch is that you just have to know where and when to look.
Next time you highlight a range of cells take a look in the Name Box (left of the Formula bar).
As long as you still hold down the mouse button (or shift key for those who select cells with the keyboard) the Name Box will display the number of rows and columns involved.
This is one of those super-easy tricks – it's absolutely nothing new to learn – just pointing out information that Excel was providing to you. (Although, I've got to say, that it does seem like a "sneaky" way of giving information – but whatever works.)
So just remember, when you release the button the information disappears so be sure to look before you let go!

Mapbox.js can be much more powerful with the help of plugins: everything from clustering markers to loading OpenStreetMap data has been implemented by members of the community and is ready to connect. Today we're making this simpler and easier with Mapbox.js plugins as a fast, hosted API.
Now, instead of downloading and copying plugin distributions, you can just hotlink the source files just as you do with Mapbox.js. This makes it easy to mix and match features and build fast.
We're starting with eight high-quality plugins:
- Leaflet Draw by Jacob Toye – Adds drawing functionality to your map.
- Leaflet Fullscreen – Enables the map to fill the screen using the HTML5 Fullscreen API.
- Leaflet Markercluster by Dave Leaver – Groups nearby markers into clusters to unclutter the map.
- Leaflet Hash by Michael Lawrence Evans – Adds information to the URL in your browser that makes it easy to link to specific map views.
- Leaflet Image – Export images of a map without a server component.
- Leaflet Label by Jacob Toye – Adds labels to markers and other vector layers that can be shown when hovering over that item or bound to other JavaScript events.
- Leaflet Locate by Dominik Moritz – Adds a button to find the user's location using the HTML5 Geolocation API.
- Leaflet OpenStreetMap by John Firebaugh – A convenient way of rendering tiles and vector data from OpenStreetMap.
We've added an example to the examples gallery to demonstrate how every plugin on the site can be used. Just copy example code or reference the scripts to start integrating these into your site.
Just like Mapbox.js, these plugins are based on and compatible with Leaflet — so you can use them with or without Mapbox.js. Stay tuned for more in the future.

I work in Rochester NY sitting at number 32.
This is a discussion on City Crime Rankings 2008-2009 within the In the News: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly forums, part of the The Back Porch category; CQ Press: City Crime Rankings 2008...
I work in Rochester NY sitting at number 32.
orlando is 18....i think i remember hearing somewhere last year we were 11...so thats good we fell 7 spots. but we're still ahead of miami....WTH!! lol
Where is Chicago in this list . . . conspicuously absent!
An armed man is a citizen.
An unarmed man is a subject.
The data collection method used by the states of Illinois and Minnesota for the
offense of forcible rape did not meet the FBIs UCR guidelines in 2007 (Rockford,
Illinois is an exception). Given that the rape numbers were not available, the following
cities are not included in the comparative analysis: Aurora, IL; Chicago, IL; Elgin, IL;
Joliet, IL; Naperville, IL; Peoria, IL; Springfield, IL; Bloomington, MN; Duluth, MN;
Minneapolis, MN; Rochester, MN; and St Paul, MN.
We all almost there....
4th worst Las Vegas
I carry a gun cause I can't carry a cop.
Well, doesn't even include any cities in WV... I think they trunicated a bit too much, because the FBI has us up there in crimes per thousands of people.
St. Louis: 4th worst.
O'Fallon, MO: 3rd best.
I live in between the two. No matter--the criminals have figured out how to use the highways.
If you were mayor in some of these places would it not make sense to have your police not meet the UCR guidelines intentionally? There have been allegations that Houston PD intentionally misclassified a bunch of murders so as to slant the stats at the behest of the chamber of commerce. The allegation continued that the feeling was if the true murder rate was made public the city would lose some conventions and the revenue they generate.

Richmond ranked 49th. I believe that is down from the last ranking, but still not acceptable.

Oh look, Detroit is 3rd! Good thing I only visit for Tigers games. And Flint is 6th hahaha I think MI averages the worst. That is an average of 4.5 for it's top two.
Detroit is number one with crime by population...anyone see a trend here?
Better to die on your feet, than to live on your knees.
Beaverton, OR 343. Think I will stay put and hunker down.
BTW, Chicago is at the bottom with statistics "not available". Someone probably stole them before they could be reported.
Preparing for the Zombie Apocalypse or Rapture....whichever comes first.
Dayton is at 26 lovely place to live i tell you.....................NOT!!
Yeah Phoenix....290th ;-)

Re: TNA 2013: A Revolution
The biggest news coming out of this week's edition of Impact is Dave Batista's confrontation with Samoa Joe. While there were talks of immediately pushing him into the title picture, officials believe that building towards a championship match further down the line at Slammiversary or Bound For Glory will prove more worthwhile. Apparently, Joe was one of the guys who went to several of the writers and pitched the idea of a feud with Batista. When the idea was brought into the writers room, it quickly caught steam and the push is now to keep Batista as a strong heel before turning him face at some point during his run towards the title. Batista was more than happy to hear of Joe's interest in feuding and the two are expected to collide at TNA's next Pay-Per-View event, Genesis.
• Other big news coming out of TNA following the 3-hour Impact is the overhaul of entrance themes, replacing them with non-TNA manufactured songs. The majority of superstars were asked to choose their own entrance music. While a few decided to keep their original themes (Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy, Kurt Angle, etc.), several superstars surprised fans with brand new entrance music. James Storm's new theme, "Crawl" by Kings Of Leon, was one of the more noticeable changes. The fact that Storm was allowed to choose such a popular mainstream song suggests that he is very highly thought of within the new TNA hierarchy. The idea behind the theme changes were to give TNA more of a bigger/mainstream feel to the company.
• John Hennigan is said to have impressed TNA officials with his attitude backstage. Many were worried that his infamous 'diva' attitude would rear it's head when he was first integrated with the rest of the roster but, apparently, he was very amiable with the rest of the TNA locker-room. They're also impressed with the brief work he did at the end of the eight man tag team match on Impact. The company are already looking to move forward with his pushed and he could be holding championship gold as early as this month.
• The World Title picture is an interesting picture as James Storm defeated Jeff Hardy but didn't walk out as the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion due to Austin Aries. While Storm is highly thought of within the company, many feel like he has too many title shots in big matches in recent times. While the idea of a Jeff Hardy Vs Austin Aries rematch is currently the most likely scenario, there is a strong push to give James Storm the match against Hardy. With TNA starting off in a new direction, the current belief is that the first Pay-Per-View should be headlined by a singles match, making a three way unlikely but the idea is not completely off the table. With the Pay-Per-View still several weeks away, anything could happen but with Austin Aries set to make an address regarding the title picture on Impact, they'll certainly be beginning to set up the championship match as early as this week.
• After his return to action last week, Chris Sabin is expected to challenge Zema Ion for the TNA X-Division Championship at Genesis. In the original plans when the match was announced, Jesse Sorensen was set to win the TNA X-Division Championship but the company soon discovered Sorensen would not be 100% fit for several months. They almost pulled the match altogether but Sorensen managed to talk them into letting him compete. The finish is said to have spun a few heads backstage as many members of the crew were said to be furious with Ion and Sorensen with using a move like the piledriver that is renowned for injuring necks. Sorensen is looked at as an innocent party and a lot of the backstage heat has fallen on Ion who has claimed it was Sorensen who suggested the finish.
• Finally, news regarding other TNA signings suggest we may be waiting a while to see the debuts of Finlay and Carlito. Both men are keen to make their first appearance for the company but, after so many debuts on the January 3rd show, TNA officials feel like they should stagger some of the newcomers to make them feel more important. Regarding other signings, Velvet Sky and Angelina Love are both expected to appear as early as this weeks show with Hamada expected to return the following week.

Preview For January 10th TNA Impact
Originally Posted by
TNA Tag Team Championships: World Tag Team Champions Of The World (c) Vs AJ Styles & Kurt Angle
Having exchanged victories on several occasions, these two teams have established themselves as the two top tag teams in the entire company. In recent times, however, Daniels and Kazarian seem to have had the upper hand over Styles and Angle. Having picked up a victory over Daniels and Kazarian in the eight man tag last week, Styles and Angle have earned another opportunity to challenge for the Tag Team Titles. Having failed to win the gold on several occasions in the past few months, if Styles and Angle fail to win the Tag Team Titles on this occasion, you can be sure that they'll be pushed to the very back of the contenders line. Can Styles and Angle finally turn their luck around and win back the Tag Team titles? Or will Daniels and Kazarian find another way of getting out with their title reign intact?
Samoa Joe defends TNA Television Championship!
Following his collision with Dave Batista last week, it has been announced that Samoa Joe will be defending his TNA Television Championship against an unnamed opponent. Joe is sure to still feel more than a little wound up following the bad attitude that Batista showed him on Impact and he's more than likely to take it out on whoever ends up being named as his opponent. I don't think the question is whether or not Joe's opponent wins or not: it's whether or not he survives!
Austin Aries has something to say!
Having cost James Storm the TNA World Heavyweight Championship last week, Austin Aries will open up Impact as he has something important to say. Having already claimed he deserves a rematch against Jeff Hardy for the World Title, you can be sure he'll have something to say regarding the World Heavyweight Championship picture. Is he going challenge Jeff Hardy to a championship match? Or will James Storm be a road-block on his path to regain the World Title?
Sting: The Aces & 8s Ultimatum
With the news that Hulk Hogan will be out of action for several months, Sting has to continue this war against Ace & 8s without the General Managers help. Sting has now come out and said he will be on Impact to offer Aces & 8s an ultimatum that he hopes will end this thing. After what happened last week, you can be sure he won't be making the ultimatum without the help of some back-up. Hopefully, this doesn't end the same way last week's confrontation did.
