In 2010, Rolling Stone reporter Michael Hastings thought he would write a profile of Stanley McChrystal, then the commander of the U.S. war in Afghanistan. It turned into a caustic expose of McChrystal's buckwild command style, capturing the general's staff disrespecting the Obama team. And it cost McChrystal his career.
And that was actually an accident. Overshadowed by the McChrystal controversy was the story Hastings really wanted to produce: an indictment of U.S. counterinsurgency strategy in Afghanistan, which Hastings considers a deadly folly. And so Hastings has revised and extended his account in a new book, The Operators, published on Thursday.
The Operators is an angry book. Part wartime memoir, part polemic, part score-settling with his critics, Hastings argues that the Afghanistan war is a debacle and that counterinsurgency is a liberal-sounding sham that conceals a bloodthirsty agenda. It's the book's big blind spot. If the problem is the Afghanistan war's waste of human life, it's odd to attack the general who restricted air strikes and ordered U.S. troops to drive friendly.
But The Operators is also a good, thorough and insightful book about the Afghanistan war. Which makes it rare: the few good ones either focus on the human dimensions of the war at the expense of its policy complexities (Sebastien Junger's War) or vice versa (Ahmed Rashid's Descent Into Chaos). You might not agree with all of Hastings' conclusions, but few other books are ambitious enough to survey the entire war and go down to the squad level.
Some in the military view Hastings as a twerp who took cheap shots at drunk officers who trusted him. Some defense reporters view him contemptuously, even playing along with the McChrystal crew's attempts at payback. But Hastings writes with an unsparing honesty. "The guilt that many felt for not serving was covered up by an uncritical attitude toward those who did," Hastings says in The Operators, and that's real talk.
Speaking of: I consider Hastings my friend — and a colleague whose passion can lead him astray, like when he erroneously accused the general in charge of training Afghan forces of running a "psychological operation" against important senators. But Hastings' work makes me question whether I've been too journalistically credulous at buying into counterinsurgency hook, line and sinker.
On the eve of the book's publication, Hastings talked with Danger Room about The Operators, McChrystal's command and Afghanistan. An edited transcript follows. For the record, McChrystal declined to comment for this story.
Danger Room: I don't understand your actual critique of McChrystal. Is he a villain or is he a tragic figure?
Michael Hastings: He's a complicated guy. He's a fascinating figure. In my mind, he's a [Gen. Douglas] MacArthur — one of these great generals who by the very nature of their character leads to troubles in their career. I think he's complex and I think if I would have come down one way or the other, it would have been simplistic. He's done stuff that's clearly suspect. Have you ever interviewed the Tillman family?
DR: I never have. But wasn't McChrystal trying to mitigate how bad the war had become? You have a powerful scene in the book with a unit in Afghanistan angry with McChrystal for forcing it to fight with restraint. Do you think he was wrong there?
MH: I'm saying we shouldn't be there. It's pretty clear. You can come up with different reasons why we should be there. Counterinsurgency is the latest iteration. You're trying to put it in to this context, it's this Dr. Exum context [CNAS fellow Andrew Exum], 'COIN is like Nerf warfare and McChrystal's trying not to kill people.' Great! I'm glad we have a strategy where we're trying not to kill people. But I don't even think that's much of a step in the right direction. My major critique is we shouldn't be there.
What I'm writing about in those scenes were the soldiers. They get it. I've been around the block, I've spent a lot of time with a lot of different infantry units, and those soldiers about as mutinous as I've seen since Baghdad 2006. This wasn't like cherrypicking Angry Joe. This was really a unit-wide mutiny. McChrystal's staff didnt see that. But McChrystal himself did see that, and he knew it was too late. The whole time I was there, he never tried to really spin me. But after that, he pulled me aside said that was rough. My question would be, if you say McChrystal encourages restraint, well, he wanted 100,000 troops there. How is that restraint? If you look at the numbers, more Americans and more Afghans died the year he was in command.
DR: In your original Rolling Stone piece, you attribute a lot of the nasty quotes from McChrystal's camp about the Obama team anonymously. But in the book, you put names to the quotes. Why?
MH: I had named them originally in my story. But the editors at Rolling Stone decided not to use them for space and narrative reasons. But I'd like to make a point on that that needs to be out there. "Biden/Bite Me" was said by Jake McFarren, McChrystal's top adviser, 30 year confidante and West Point roommate. He was not a junior guy. "Don't get that on my leg," [about an email from diplomat Richard Holbrooke], that was Charlie Flynn, who's now a general. Dave Silverman [a former Navy SEAL] said some colorful stuff too.
There's an impression out there that McChrystal never said any of this, it was his staff. No, McChrystal criticized [Amb. Karl] Eikenberry, McChrystal made fun of Holbrooke, and McChrystal decided to start all the jokes on Biden. Blaming [media adviser] Duncan Boothby, or blaming one of these lower level guys, when in fact you've got McChrystal, his top adviser and his executive officer who's now a general himself at Ft. Leavenworth — these are serious people making these comments.
And if they say, "Oh, it's all a big joke," I would question that. If you were hanging around people as a reporter and they were making jokes about race or women and then they said "it's all a big joke," it would still represent a cultural attitude. And in this case it was a contempt for civilian control.
DR: But wasn't it just crap that's said around a barstool, and it's stupid, but does it really reveal so much?
MH: I disagree totally. I think it reveals the exactly the nature of the kind of guy, who when the White House says, 'Don't ask more troops,' is going to say, 'Fuck you, give me more troops.'
DR: After the McChrystal story, you did another Rolling Stone piece about the general in charge of training Afghans running a psychological operation on visiting senators to sell the war. I think you were wrong; were wrong, it looked more like routine spin. What happened with that?
MH: My goal with that story was to lay out that there was this guy who was part of this information operations team, Lt. Col. Michael Holmes, who received training in how to plan and conduct psychological operations, and he's being asked by a general [William Caldwell] to spin and influence senators. That, to me, is a big story, just in terms of the reach and power of — I hate to call it the propaganda machine. But huge amounts of resources are being spent to influence American public opinion. And our only response to that, we have, what, 30 journalists covering this stuff? We have thousands of people in the Pentagon who work day and night to figure out how to dupe us. That to me was the key takeaway of that piece.
DR: What's your actual critique of counterinsurgency? I can understand you arguing that the Afghanistan war is a bloody mistake, killing too many Afghans. But isn't counterinsurgency an attempt at mitigating those civilian deaths?
MH: I don't agree that they're actually killing fewer Afghans. Look at the numbers, they're not. If I had goverment that local insurgents were trying to overthrow, then yes, I'd probably try to adopt a counterinsurgency strategy. But what that strategy entails is a system of secret prisons and torture and this kind of no-holds barred fight. I think it's a mistake when you're trying to fight someone else's counterinsurgency for them. We're just not equipped to do it very well. The Israelis have been fighting a counterinsurgency against the Palestinians for decades, and they know the language, they know every nook and cranny of the West Bank and Gaza Strip and the conflict is never-ending.
DR: But the counterinsurgency wars in Iraq and Afghanistan weren't like the Israeli wars against the Palestinians. Petraeus warned troops in Iraq against torture; McChrystal's guidance to his troops was to be respectful of Afghan drivers.
MH: But I don't think it's true. Petraeus says we have to not torture Iraqis, I don't think that's true. Our proxies we fund and train, like Prime Minister Maliki in Iraq, or Col. Abdul Razik in Afghanistan, are torturing people and running secret prisons. McChrystal says we have to respect Afghans, I don't think they really are. They convince themselves they are, but I don't necessarily buy it. And certainly they're not doing it for any kind of moral reason, because we care about the Afghan people.
DR: Don't you go too easy on Obama in the book? You portray him as getting rolled by the Pentagon on the Afghanistan surge, rather than actually ordering all these troops to Afghanistan. I remember interviewing the Obama team on the campaign trail and they were talking about escalating the Afghanistan war — not as much as he ultimately did, but I've been surprised people were surprised by the surge.
MH: But the White House was surprised by the size of McChrystal's troop request. I would dispute that. I think they truly believed that after they sent the first 21,000 [extra troops in 2009], they were good to go. Which showed that they were totally clueless about what COIN was. I don't know how I could have been harder on the president in the book. I said he didn't understand the promises he made on the campaign trail and got rolled into this by the Pentagon. I think you're underestimating the power of the Pentagon. They play this happy warrior shtick but it's nonsense. And if you look at what President Obama has done, he's done his best to neuter and take control of the Pentagon. [Defense Secretary Robert] Gates is out, McChrystal is out, Petraeus is out of uniform, and there are no more celebrity generals.
DR: You have this powerful passage: "The guilt that many felt for not serving was covered up by an uncritical attitude toward those who did." I find civilians and veterans are both trying to understand each other — not to condescend or heroize or be hostile but to communicate as equals, with mutual respect — without really knowing how. How do we get past that?
MH: I'm trying to get at this. I'm trying to write about the difficulty one has, understanding what happens to people when they go to war. Part of it is just a confidence thing, to be able call the military on their bullshit and for the military to call civilians on their bullshit. But when one has been at war and one has not, there's a cultural power imbalance.
John F. Kennedy served in World War II. After he got burned at the Bay of Pigs, he said, never again am I going to blindly trust these guys. He had learned in the Pacific that a lot of these admirals and generals running around were clowns. What did I learn in Iraq, seeing Iraqi police execute people on the streets and then having a two, three star general tell me how great the Iraqi police are? You realize these guys are clowns!
But it's really tough for people who haven't served to stand up to all the shiny brass. And it's tough for journalists as well. My younger brother is an infantry platoon leader and won a Bronze Star. My best friends are in the military. The most formative experiences of my life have been with these guys — as a journalist, which is a huge luxury, and I never want to equate my experience with theirs. But in the same way I can try to empathize with bombing victims, I can also try to do that with soldiers.
But the burdens of this war have fallen on so few. So, so few. Goddamn right the people who did serve should feel like their opinion matters, maybe even should matter more. But then you get into a Starship Troopers scenario [where citizenship is measured by military service]. I think the only way to combat against that is for everyone to do their best to understand what's really going on. And to do their best to understand that just because someone has a uniform on doesn't mean you need to genuflect. You can be respectful and thank them. But one has to be able to be as critical of four-star general as of Newt Gingrich. You have to treat these people like they're flawed human beings like you.

An Investment Opinion
Xerox Xerocked Dave Marino-Nachison (TMF Braden)
October 8, 1999
Shares of publishing, printing, and copying equipment maker Xerox Corp. (NYSE: XRX) moved back more than 25% this morning after the company said it expects to report "essentially flat" Q3 revenues -- last year's tally was $4.61 billion -- and EPS down 10% to 12% from the year-ago $0.53 figure. Wall Street was looking for a $0.58 per share profit.
Xerox plans to report results on October 18th.
Revenue, particularly in September, was below expectations both in the U.S. and Europe and the company said that hurt operating margins, along with an unfavorable product mix and increased competitions; also thrown in there were some pressures from disappointing results from the company's Fuji Xerox division and economic weakness in Brazil.
"Today's announcement is clearly disappointing," said Xerox President and CEO Rick Thoman, who was named to the post in April after two years carrying an "OO" instead of an "EO" at the company. "However, we are convinced that our strategy of focusing on industry solutions, a broader array of distribution channels and an expanding product and services portfolio is correct and over time will achieve the revenue and earnings benefits it is intended to produce."
With the shares of this iconic American company beaten down this year, it's important to evaluate Xerox's performance not only in terms of black numbers on white paper but in the context of its progress as it works to recreate itself as a "solutions" company -- a technology consultant of sorts -- instead of just a "products" company.
This is a move that many companies looking to monopolize their customers' money and time -- from software to consulting to commerce -- are making now as they look for ways to leverage growth in their traditional core businesses.
The idea is that, with the company's sales force redirected toward specific industry groups, Xerox can respond directly to the specific needs of its customers with customized packages.
Of course, in order to do this successfully Xerox has to make sure it has the best and broadest product offerings in the business, which is where last month's $950 million purchase of Tektronix's (NYSE: TEK) color printing and imaging division comes in. Although the division's revenues were small last year compared to Xerox's, as a member of the Xerox lineup it gives the company a strong position in the color market that will help it challenge Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HWP).
It also affords Xerox access to a slew of new distribution channels which, if properly plied, can be turned around to help boost consumer access to the rest of the company's line. (For a Foolish take on the purchase, click here.)
But this redirection effort has also required that the company realign its sales force and with Xerox doing that twice in the past year sales have been disrupted, making investors -- particularly the earnings-consensus obsessed Wall Street community -- wary of the company's ability to deliver on its, and their, expectations of performance. Today's news means disappointment for those who got behind a sales projection the company endorsed last month; revenues were up just 1.3% for the first six months of 1999.
A company exec said at a mid-September conference to look for sales growth of approximately 4%.
The bottom line here for investors thinking long-term should really be less a matter of what they think of Xerox' performance vis-a-vis Wall Street's expectations but rather their assessment of Thoman's ability to pull off the reorganization, both operationally and on the product side, while handling his competition.
In interviews and other public statements, Thoman has expressed optimism. Investors who've bought into that might want to start looking more carefully at Xerox with the stock currently out of favor. But with near-term performance anything but guaranteed and a balance sheet long on debt, some caution is probably warranted.

Presidential Food Obsessions
3 of 20
William J. Clinton (1993-2001)
As the governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton frequented Doe's Eat Place in Little Rock where he often ate greasy jalapeño cheeseburgers with lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, pickles and onions. Later, while in the White House, the President's penchant for McDonald's fast food was spoofed on Saturday Night Live. After two heart-related surgeries in 2004 and 2010, Clinton became a vegan in 2011.

Titanic centre launches N.Ireland tourism drive
By Ian Graham
BELFAST (Reuters) - Two flares fired into the morning sky above Belfast on Saturday will mark the opening of a 97-million pound ($154 million) Titanic centre at the site of its launch, telling the story of the doomed liner which sank 100 years ago.
Titanic Belfast is one of a number of signature projects designed to generate tourism in Northern Ireland, better known for decades as a region of violence and sectarian strife.
Some 100,000 people from 20 countries have booked tickets in advance to visit the showcase building constructed beside the slipway from which the liner was launched by the Harland and Wolff shipyard a century ago.
Shaped like the vessel's hull - and the same height - the center is covered in 3,000 aluminum panels and its six floors containing nine galleries telling the story of the doomed steamship and the Belfast of the early 1900s.
"We're letting the building speak for itself, with a simple ceremony, marked by the firing of two flares - as was the case when Titanic was launched," said Tim Husbands, Titanic Belfast's CEO.
There is also an interactive ride and film footage of the wreck of Titanic in its final resting place 3,784 meters (yards) below the Atlantic - some of it never seen before.
Near to the building stands the Harland and Wolff Drawing Office where the Titanic's plans were drawn.
In the dock is Titanic's refurbished tender, the SS Nomadic, which ferried passengers from the French port of Cherbourg to the Titanic and sister ship Olympic. Continued...

Ah, that makes sense. I thought I might have screwed something up. I compiled up the 2.0 version as well with no success.
It would be nice to get it all running ok. I'll look into the other TODOs you had there when i get the time, some real-time results and more command-line options would probably be nice.
Yeah...real-time would probably be next. Command line options...not sure about. Its a nice-to-have...but not at the top of my list.
I did build a dev using arp-spoof, but it sucked when poisoning multiple machines (tested on 10 I normally poison about 30 at a time). All it did was DoS the LAN.
Got ettercap to recompile a while back and sent to pure_hate, he recompiled and added to repos so now ettercap is working again so arpspoof not needed.
Will continue to tinker with the script....the code needs a cleanup, but I don't have the energy for that ;)
OK, so a new update came out that moved the ferret executable into the hamster folder. I have an update, with some additional changes to post, but in the mean time, if you just search the code for 'ferret' and put in the proper path it'll work just fine. (It's in 2 places that's all)
Best Regards,
What am i supposed to write in the "Add interface to dhcp3-server file".
It opens up a blank file. Do i have to write wlan0 in it. ?
I'm so confused.
Could anyone please clarify 2 small things for me:
In the script, the following prerequisites are described:
# You MUST edit your /etc/etter.conf file. I like to set the ID used for ettercap to 0.
# You MUST also remove the comments (#) in front of the two lines for IPTables in order for forwarding to work.
1. where in the file do i set the ID :confused:
2. the IPTables lines referred to are the ones in the etter.conf file, right?
I suspect both of these questions have fairly obvious answers but I'd rather ask something stupid than do something stupid :)
This is where you put the interface that will hand out IP's when a victim connects. If you follow the default values in the script its your tunneled interface at0. INTERFACES="at0" Then save and close it.
Happy hunting...
how do I set the ID used for ettercap?
I noticed that is a prerequisite in the easy-creds.sh file but I'm not sure where in etter.conf this setting is made..
In addition you need to remove the #'s from the redir statements for iptables to uncomment them.
Another change you can make if you want...change mozilla to firefox. But that's not required...
Sit tight for version 3.5 which has redone Menus and FakeAP EvilTwin and a FakeAP Karmetasploit attack....
Happy hunting.

Mighty Demon Idle Eze problem & gasket question.
My mighty demon Idle eze seems to be useless. From snug in, to snug out there is no change in idle or vacuum.
Been running too far into the transfer slots for too long, and need to tear the carb down and see why the idle -eze is not flowing.
My biggest question is: Does anyone know for sure if a Holley 108-7 Throttle Body gasket will work on a 850 Mighty Demon with 4 corner Idle & idle eze.?
So far I have only had the bowls & metering blocks off & have spare gaskets for same.
This car is actually a daily driver, so I don't want to tear it down & find out I have the wrong gaskets.
B.G. Tech seems to be non existent, and parts are hard to find.
Also: Im new to using forums.
I want to put my engine info in with my name so I only have to do it once.
How do I go about this?
Thanks in advance.
C3 Stingray
421 Dart small block. Vic Jr. Mighty demon 850. Big heads.
Ill dig up my cam & head info soon, but its healthy enough to need a little extra air @ idle.
From HERE:
If you have the secondary throttle blades too far open, readjust them so that no transfer slot is exposed (as long as the idle speed is below 1000 RPM). Then be sure to set the primary blades so that the transfer slot describes a "square" as viewed from under the carb. This is the baseline for the transfer slots/throttle blades.
Once you have the right base to carb body gasket installed, lightly seat the Idle Eze then back it out about 1-1/2 turns for its baseline and tune from there.
I haven't seen Tech @ BG here in a while, if he's lurking maybe he will chime in.

bg closed up his tic guy still around ? i would like to talk to him holley gaskets and jets interchange chris carb shop in dayton oh tolled me what size mine were he is on web site but he dont like demons
As soon as I heard he´d packed it in the second time I bought a bunch of rebuild kits for my Speed Demon.
Demon Carburetion and BG Fuel Systems to be Resurrected
Barry Grant was purchased by Holley and will be ran as a seperate division. This is why you now see some BG designed parts on the new Holley Ultra HP carburetors.
Thanks for the info. Thats exactly what I neede to know.
Have not had the carb apart other than having the bowls and metering blocks off.
Have baselined the setup many times making changes one step at a time and everything points to needing to bleed a little more air in at idle.
Ill get a few extra holley gaskets & see if I can get it apart this weekend.
Saw an interesting article on a chevelle site of a guy that had to put a spacer in and line up 4 slots or holes.
Ill find out when I get it open.
Thanks again
Manual for your carb- http://www.barrygrant.com/frombarryg...0manual-08.pdf
I see BG recommends 0.020" (approximately) of transfer slot exposed front and rear in this manual. Other info they have published says no exposure on secondary transfer slots w/idle speeds <1000 RPM as baseline- and this is what I said above. If you start it and you know immediately the secondary side needs to be opened more, then do so. Or set the baseline w/both slots exposed the same. In any event, this will likely be changed during the course of tuning it anyway and the manual has all the info needed to adjust it to a baseline.
If you have a vacuum leak- intake or base gaskets bad, vacuum lines bad, or missing, etc. this can negate the effect of the Idle Eze and you will not see any difference between it being open or closed.
Big jump in idle speed if I take the cap off the constant distributor vacuum port at the carb base.
Bumped the timing up to 18 initial and 38 total. It didnt make much difference from 14 / 34.
Also: Forgot to mention I can get a low but ok Idle in neutral with all four slots @ .020", but it just won't quite do it in gear.
Almost tempted to put a fuel filter on the vacuum line and run it around a bit just for th heck of it.
The first thing I'll do when I get the carb off is check how far the slots are really open now, just for future refference.
Thanks again.
The responce was much faster And much more in depth than expected.
I'll let you know what I find.
You haven't said which MD 850 you have. Ever find the cam specs? Do you have an idle vacuum reading, both in and out of gear? Is there a vacuum advance being used? Hooked to ported or manifold?
Another area to check is the power valve. Be sure to check to see that it's not perforated and that the rating is at least a couple numbers lower than the idle vacuum in gear.
Also check the air bleeds to see that they're not blocked- that will make it run rich. The idle and high speed air bleeds are described in the manual. I know you've baselined it already, but if you didn't buy this carb new, check the air bleeds to see if they've been changed by a po. If so go back to baseline w/them. The metering block orifices can also be blown out real good while it's apart along w/the main body, etc.
I checked and Tech @ BG hasn't been here since 07-16-2011. I was hoping he'd have something to add...

Did´nt it come out that Tech @ BG was more than one person at Barry Grant ?
I assume as they lost their jobs any responsibilty to any BG product went with them.
Wow! It's like you guys are here as my pit crew!
Ok just off the top of my head the cam is like a 254 deg @ .050" Hyd Roller.
i'll get more later, but it gives you a bit of an idea of the breed of animal we are working with.

stock power valve 3.5 LB. (front bowel only) & jets.
Victor Jr, No spacer, (Vette hood clearence).
MSD street HEI. Dont have a 6AL yet.
If I remember, I think the torque converter is a 3500 Stall witch might be a little too tight, but the carb feels like it is so close to working as it is, if it could just get a tad more air @ idle.
With front & back slots @ .020 I get about 6 lbs vac. @ idle in newt.
Wont pull Idle in gear with the slots in this location and with the stock 3.5 power valve will have a flat spot as I gently speed up.
I changed the power valve to a 4.5 which helped the flat spot but of coarse didn't help the orig. problem.
With the slots open more (which of coarse is wrong) it idles @ about 7.5 in newt. and 6.5 in gear.
This is with the stock 3.5 LB. power valve back in.
I always check the power valves for leaks before installing.
When I get all my info, is there a way I can add it to my profile so it will automatically post on this site when I comunicate?

Whew! I need a nap!!!
Got it!!! Running good now! Fully adjustable.
5 Main things I Noticed:
#1. In its fully assembled state the adjustment screw would back out 5 1/2 turns before stopping. (Keep this in mind)
#2. After taking it apart I first noticed the 4 small holes around the circumference had burrs inside that cut their inside diameter aprox in half.
#3. The holes did not line up with the slots and they look very shrouded by sitting down in a counter bore.
#4. The intake slots use the body gasket as the roof of the slot.
When the gasket gets compressed it embosses the gasket into the slot choking it off. This I didn't alter, leaving it for later if needed. My thinking was that making the slot any bigger would cause turbulance in the venturi.
#5. And this is the big one... The location of the 4 holes was too far up from the screw seat.
The screw had to be turned out 5 1/2 turnes before it would even start to pass air being blew through it.
Even out of the body the screw would disingage the threads @ 6 1/2 turns.
It remains engaged in the carb by backing out till the head hits the body.
I opened the 4 holes first to lower the point that the screw would start to work. (The radius of the bigger drill dropping the opening point that much).
After opening the holes I took a needle file & opened the hole into a window like a power valve, thinkin more flow & also lining the new windows up with the slots in the base plate.
I tapered the transition from the base plate slot floor into the counter bore that the jet sits in. The orig design looks like the 4 jet holes are very shrouded down in the counter bore they are in.
Also turned a taper on the jet O.D. from the top of the holes to 1/2 way up the nut. Again to help unshroud the four holes.
It now starts to flow at 2 turns out. Have pics and dimentions if any one needs them.
This thread seems very close to what I'm dealing with on my Mighty Demon. Rather than start a whole new thread, I thought it might be more efficient to tag onto this one. If it should be its own thread, mods please feel free to move this to its own thread.
Engine Specs:
A lot of the specs I won't know, because the engine was built for the car's previous owner. Most of these are going to be guesses.
383 stroker
Brodix heads
Radical cam, but no idea what lift or duration. Extreme lope at idle.
Hooker 4:1 headers, 3" dual exhaust
Mighty Demon 650 CFM carb
There are no vacuum accessories at all running off the engine
First, I have a leak on the front bowl which appears to be coming from where the accellerator pump rod enters the bottom of the bowl. I haven't removed the bowl yet to check this, so let me know if this isn't possible. I need to fix this leak and have no idea at this point where to start. If I need gaskets, are they even available anymore?
Next, I have a horrible stumble off-idle, no matter whether it's a modest stab at the accellerator or a full-on mash. I'm guessing either the butterflies are not set right (I do understand how to do it, but haven't pulled the carb yet), the power valve is wrong, or both. I pull about 8 inches of vacuum at idle, about 6 in gear. The carb still has the stock 6.5 power valve. I'm guessing I should be more down into the 3.5 size? Is the power valve for the Demon the same as a Holley, or do I need a Demon specific part?
As stated in this thread, my Idle eZe does nothing.
The engine is running really rich as well, but I believe if I can solve the adjustment problem, the rich running will go away.
I feel like I'm forgetting something, so please ask away if you need more info.

I don't know everything about demon carbs but the majority of the parts are the same as holley such as the bowl gaskets accelerator pump diaphragm etc. As far as your power valve goes since your running only 6 inches at idle your power valve is open at that point if its a 6.5 which is causing your engine to be very rich and that could be your problem with your stumble.
Also on your transfer slot make sure no more then about.020 to .030 is exposed as too much will make it very rich as well as it will be pulling from the transfer slot and not the idle discharge ports. Also make sure your secondary's are open enough to about the same amount so you have equal air flow and since your's is a double pumper it will work like that.
Rule of thumb is what your vacuum is at idle divide that by half which would be 3 and since holley does not have a 3 power valve you would want a 2.5 power valve. The demon carbs take the same power valve as a holley does. But you need to check one thing at a time as making to many changes at once can make it even worse and you might loose track what you have already done.
Trust me been there and done that and have learned to do one thing at a time. Also if you do need a rebuild kit summit just put in there new catalog rebuild kits for all the brands of demon carbs but also quick fuel makes rebuild kits that cover many holleys as well as the demons.
Most parts are the same gasket wise and needle and seat assemblies etc.
First change out your power valve before you do anything else to a 2.5 then take your accelerator pump housing off and check the diaphragm to see if its torn or not and also the check valve underneath it make sure its tight.
Then reset your butterflies as you stated you know how to equal points in the front and rear and then reset your idle mixture screws starting them at 1.5 turns out from seated position.
Also make sure your timing is up there too at least around 16 degrees initial with vacuum advance unhooked and you might want to run your vacuum advance to full manifold if your not already doing that will help as well cause if you don't have enough timing it can cause issues as well. Hope that helps

I have this idea and I'm a bit stuck on the atmosphere and the lighting. Is it interesting enough regarding composition and lighting? The idea is that the female figure is sort of scouting the hangar with her giant robot friend. The light in the hangar is supposed to be dimmer than the bright outside.
The outside should be light, but with a lot of nebula. So it provides enough atmosperic perspective. That's what I intended at least. Please let me know what you think.

15 November 2011 @ 8:00am.
Quadrus Conference Center at 2400 Sand Hill Road in Menlo Park, California.
The gap between the Valley and Washington, D.C., is much more than 3,000 miles. The distance between the "corporate culture" of the two most strategic communities on Planet Earth is light-years. And it represents not simply one vast threat to the creative/innovative culture, but to American power and global stability.
In this panel moderated by Nigel Cameron, president of D.C.-based startup think tank the Center for Policy on Emerging Technologies (C-PET), which plans to change this situation, we ask how we can bridge the Continental Divide and do the impossible: turn D.C. into the kind of innovative community we all desire?

Fall and Winter Driving Tips - Discount Tire Outlet
Are you ready for fall and winter driving? Changing leaves and snow days can be exciting, but also bring about new dangers for drivers. To keep you and your loved ones safe this season, there are special circumstances to remember when driving in the colder months. More accidents happen in the winter and fall because drivers ignore safety precautions. Here are some tips and important guidelines to follow to prevent common accidents:
Tips to Remember for Fall and Winter:
1. Check your tires. Your tires should be properly inflated, balanced, and have enough tread to avoid loss of traction. Cold weather and temperature fluctuations can decrease tire pressure. Keep a tire pressure gauge handy in your vehicle at all times and check frequently. If you can, invest into some winter tires.
2. Make sure your car is prepared for the drop in temperatures. Check coolant and other fluid levels and keep windshield washer levels filled.
3. Keep your windshield clean and ice-free, check and replace wiper blades if needed.
4. Slow down! Make sure you leave yourself room to stop, especially on slick or icy roads.
5. Know how to recover from a skid. The chances of getting into an accident are reduced if you know how to control your vehicle in a skid. This depends on your tires, brakes, if your car is front or rear wheel drive, and is dependent on your vehicle make and model.
6. Keep your lights on for visibility.
Fall Driving Tips:
1. Be aware of school buses and children. Follow the laws for school zones in the mornings and afternoons, and never pass a school bus with red lights that are flashing. Be mindful of trick-or-treaters at Halloween and carolers in December, especially in neighborhoods, around schools, and churches.
2. Leaves on the ground can become slippery when they get wet or can conceal poor road conditions. Patches of leaves can freeze as the temperature drops and turn icy, creating a road hazard.
3. Rain and sleet can turn icy as the weather changes, always be cautious not to drive too fast for weather conditions. Turn your lights on and drive slowly in fog- headlights on low beam increases your visibility of the road, high beams will distort it.
4. Deer collisions increase drastically during the colder months, be sure to slow down in areas with deer crossing signs and if you see deer near the road. Deer can move quickly and unexpectedly, slowing down, turning your flashers on for other cars, and watching both sides of the road will help reduce your chance of hitting a deer.
5. Drowsy driving incidents increase, as the days grow shorter, especially around daylight savings time. Be aware of your alertness, and take extra precaution with other driver- never drive drowsy, pull over and find a safe area to sleep or until you become alert.
Winter Driving Tips:
1. Know your route and be aware of weather conditions. Sudden winter storms may leave you unprepared and stranded. Check with your local department of transportation or your current weather conditions before making any extended trip, even your daily commute. Plan for adequate time to reach your destination so you don't have to rush.
2. Keep and emergency kit in your car that includes a windshield scraper, flashlight, matches, lock deicer, water and food, and blankets. Always have a pair of sneakers or old shoes in the car, especially if you wear dress shoes or high heels to an office. Carry a properly inflated spare tire, jumper cables, and tow and tire chains. A bag of cat litter is also helpful to increase weight and help with traction if you become stuck. If you do become stuck or stranded, it is important to stay in your vehicle.
3. Do not pass de-icing trucks or snow plows. Speeding up to pass work trucks is dangerous, the increased speed on icy roads, limited visibility of the driver, as well as poor road conditions ahead of the truck are a very unsafe combination.
4. Decrease your speed and leave yourself plenty of room to stop. You should allow at least three times more space than usual between you and the car in front of you.
5. Use low gears to keep traction, especially on hills, and never use cruise control on icy roads.
6. Watch out for bridges, overpasses, and infrequently traveled roads, as they will freeze first. Poor airflow can decrease the temperature in areas where the sun does not normally heat up, like under overpasses, and the road can have hidden icy patches.
7. Do not rely on 4-wheel drive or winter tires. While these things give drivers more control in poor conditions, they are not adequate enough on their own to make driving on icy or slippery roads safe. Over-confident driving may lead to an accident.
Following these tips and guidelines will protect you, your family, and other drivers this season. For more cold weather tips and services to maintain your car, call or stop in any time and we'd be happy to assist you!

Like other Fox News hosts, Hannity falsely claimed Obama's economic recovery plan gives money to people who "don't pay any taxes"
Research ››› ››› MATTHEW BIEDLINGMAIER
Fox News' Sean Hannity falsely claimed that President-elect Barack Obama's economic plan gives money to "people that don't pay any taxes," echoing the oft-repeated myth from the presidential campaign that Obama's proposed tax cuts would go to people who don't pay taxes. In fact, Obama has proposed giving the tax credit to "working families," which means they do pay Social Security and Medicare taxes.
On the January 9 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, co-host Sean Hannity asked Fox News contributor Lanny Davis: "[H]ow is it that people that don't pay any taxes are going to get what's called a tax cut under the Obama plan?" adding, "[E]xplain to me how that's not welfare." Numerous Fox News hosts and contributors previously claimed that people who don't pay taxes would be eligible for an individual tax credit included in President-elect Barack Obama's proposed economic recovery plan. In fact, Obama has proposed giving the tax credit to "working families," which means they pay Social Security and Medicare taxes under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act. Additionally, The New York Times reported in a January 4 article that Obama's proposals "include about $300 billion in tax cuts for workers and businesses."
In a January 8 speech, Obama stated that his proposed tax credit will go to working Americans, saying, "To get people spending again, 95% of working families will receive a $1,000 tax cut -- the first stage of a middle-class tax cut that I promised during the campaign and will include in our next budget."
Indeed, the "Making Work Pay" tax credit Obama included in his economic proposal during the presidential race would provide a "tax credit of up to $500 per person, or $1,000 per working family":
This refundable income tax credit will provide direct relief to American families who face the regressive payroll tax system. It will offset the payroll tax on the first $8,100 of their earnings while still preserving the important principle of a dedicated revenue source for Social Security. The "Making Work Pay" tax credit will completely eliminate income taxes for 10 million Americans. The tax credit will also provide relief to self-employed small business owners who struggle to pay both the employee and employer portion of the payroll tax. The "Making Work Pay" tax credit offsets some of this selfemployment tax as well.
Additionally, consumers in the United States are required to pay federal excise taxes, including 18.4 cents per gallon of gasoline. U.S. residents are also subject to state taxes, such as sales, income, and property taxes.
As Media Matters for America documented, Fox News anchors and contributors -- including Shepard Smith, Megyn Kelly, Trace Gallagher, Gretchen Carlson, and Cheryl Casone -- as well as Washington deputy managing editor Bill Sammon, have all promulgated the falsehood, which echoes the often-repeated myth from the 2008 presidential campaign that Obama's proposed tax cuts would go to people who don't pay taxes.
From the January 9 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes:
HANNITY: Explain this to me, 'cause I'm a conservative, and maybe I just don't understand spread-the-wealth socialism, and I want you to help me. Because, Lanny, how is it that people that don't pay any taxes are going to get what's called a tax cut under the Obama plan? How is -- explain to me how that's not welfare. I'm having a hard time with this new economics, and I know you can simplify it for me. So how is that not welfare, and how is that a tax cut?
DAVIS: Well, an awful lot of people think that welfare is giving tax subsidies to big corporations and wealthy people --
HANNITY: No, no, no, no.
DAVIS: -- who don't pay their fair share.
HANNITY: Focus on my question, though. Focus on my --
DAVIS: So there is some -- no, there's some subsidy involved in giving people who don't pay taxes some cash to help revive the economy.
HANNITY: So is it welfare --
DAVIS: So you could call it --
HANNITY: -- or is a tax cut?
DAVIS: Well, welfare was a program that was a continuing program for poor people. This is a temporary injection --
HANNITY: All right.
DAVIS: -- of cash into our bloodstream.
HANNITY: John Kasich --
DAVIS: But you should be as offended by wealthy people getting that money just as you are by poor people getting it.
HANNITY: All right, Mark Steyn is laughing. Mark, go ahead.

Back in the 2002 and 2004 elections, we heard a lot about so-called "Security Moms." Once focused almost exclusively on domestic issues like education, crime, and the economy, the priorities of these "Soccer Moms" shifted in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Instead of pocketbook issues, they were focused on peace of mind. They wanted a president who could keep the country (and their kids) safe. Over ten years later, and in the wake of two gruesome beheadings, we are seeing the early signs of a resurgence of a security-focused voter, and it could have a real impact on the midterm elections.
The latest polls have shown a sharp uptick in the number of people who are concerned about the threat of terrorism both here and abroad. A Pew poll found that 53 percent of Americans are "very concerned" about the possibility of a rise in Islamic extremism in the U.S. which ties a record high. The Wall Street Journal/NBC poll found a whopping 47 percent of Americans saying they feel less safe than before the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
I found a similar sentiment among women voters in the battleground states of Iowa and Arkansas. Earlier this week, I had the chance to observe focus groups of 20 women – ten in Little Rock and ten in Des Moines – dubbed the Walmart moms. These focus groups are sponsored by Walmart and conducted by Republican pollster Neil Newhouse of Public Opinion Strategies and Democratic pollster Margie Omero of Purple Strategies. Walmart moms are defined as women with children 18 or younger at home and who shopped at Walmart at least once in the past month. Newhouse and Omero have been conducting these focus groups of moms since 2009 and "have found them to be a proven swing block."
These women are what are known in polling parlance as "low information" voters. They are not engaged in the day-to-day political news. Few could name any members of congressional leadership (Pelosi was the one name they could muster). Most of them had very rough (or nonexistent) opinions of the candidates running for the Senate in their state - despite the almost nonstop advertising there from both sides. In other words, these are the kind of late deciding voters that could swing an election.
While economic anxiety is still an ever-present concern among these women ("prices of everything go up but we get further behind," complained one mom in Little Rock), physical security has taken on a more salient role than it has in recent years. When asked by the moderator to describe "how things are going" in the country, the women in these groups used words like scary, unstable and unsettled. Concerns about violence, from ISIS to school shootings to the riots in Ferguson, were top of mind for these women. One woman in Little Rock remarked that life felt like "a box of chocolates... where you never know what you are going to get" day to day. From Ebola to ISIS to Ferguson, this summer has been both unpredictable and predictably unstable.
Pollsters Omero and Newhouse noted that the fact that many Walmart moms express specific concern about ISIS is "unusual for swing voters and not a common theme we have heard in previous groups. Often," write Omero and Newhouse, "international conflicts and turmoil have gone unnoticed by moms as their focus has been directed to domestic issues that had a direct impact on their household."
This isn't to say that these women were clamoring to go to war. None of them mentioned airstrikes or "boots on the ground." They simply want a sense of stability and security. They know that while the world is a big, scary place, they don't want to worry about sending their child into a school that, as a woman said in Little Rock, "is getting shot up."
Moreover, they don't quite know who they trust to bring them this much deserved security. They give poor marks to President Obama. When asked to rate him they use words like "disappointed, "not trying enough," and "let down". However, Congress doesn't rate any better. One woman in Iowa described Congress as "out of touch." "Do they even pump their own gas, or buy their own groceries?" another asked. Others expressed frustration at the gridlock and fighting. None of the women in either city believed that things would get any better if Republicans took control of the Senate.
There is an anxiety about safety and security like we haven't seen since 2001. For these 20 Walmart moms, concerns about their personal safety have, in the words of Omero and Newhouse, "supplanted economic anxiety." Democrats, who had been hoping that a strong populist economic message could win them some key races, must now contend with the reality that voters - even those who normally tune out international crises- are deeply concerned about the threat of terrorism and a sense of unraveling here at home. This is why you are hearing nervous Democrats pleading for a direct and decisive response from the White House to the violence overseas. Based on what I saw in these focus groups and what we're seeing in national polling, voters aren't necessarily looking to shake things up. Instead, in the words of one Des Moines mom, they are looking for the candidate who can provide a "more stable future."

Cher Wows VMAs with Skimpy Getup
She's always been known for her ability to command the attention of a room, and at last night's MTV Video Music Awards Cher proved that she's still got her magic touch.
The 64-year-old singer/actress took the stage at the Nokia Theatre LA Live sporting a barely-there getup, showing that her fabulous form hasn't faded with age.
Cher's outfit was reminiscent of her wardrobe from the 1989 music video "If I Could Turn Back Time," in which she sings on an aircraft carrier filled with eager servicemen.
In career news, Cher is gearing up for the release of her new movie "Burlesque" along with the likes of Christina Aguilera and Kristen Bell.

Hi StencilMedia,
I'm very sorry for the confusion regarding the bundling of your own items. Each marketplace has it's own policy for item bundles/packs. Unfortunately VideoHive does not permit packs of existing items at this time.
The pricing issue was actually a mistake, and as we recently discussed, the incorrectly priced items have all been corrected.

Hi I have submitted a new entry with watermark for After Effect project file. It has a high risk of theft in the preview. But sadly I have forgot to mention it in reviewer massage. What Should I do? Please Suggest.!!:(
Since the file has been uploaded very recently, you're best bet would be to just delete the project from the queue and then resubmit it.
The link to download the watermark is still working for me. You should be able to access it directly from here: http://marketplace-knowledgebase.s3.amazonaws.com/videohive/videohive_watermark.zip
Hey guys,
Initially my guess is that we won't be accepting Element 3D 2.0 projects immediately. Although I'm sure we'll accept them at some point after it's released. When we begin accepting version 2.0, we'll be sure to announce it here on the forums.

Posted last sunday and no answers ..
Hi Martin, I just checked in our system and we have no new submissions from you. Please check your inbox and spam folders to make sure our message from the previous review was received.
Clarecomm and I have been chatting behind the scenes and I've run a number of tests myself to try and get to the bottom of this.
Unfortunately I'm left with more questions than answers. For some reason FCP X seems to handle transparent PNG images oddly, displaying them much brighter than they actually should be. Simply placing the watermark above the video and rendering is not really an option within Final Cut because of this. Through testing, I've found that reducing the opacity within FCP X (when the watermark looks too bright) down to something like 35% – 50% depending on the brightness of the footage below it seems to produce close to normal results. It isn't ideal since each video needs to have the watermark's opacity settings adjusted, but it will get the job done if you've got nothing but FCP X to work with.
Clarecomm also had promising results using Apple Compressor after playing around with the settings within the H.264 profile and Entropy Mode. So if you're having difficulty using FCP X, you might want to look into Compressor.
I personally use Adobe Media Encoder, and was able to setup a pretty nice workflow using presets and a watch folder. It's completely automated and produces consistent results without having to change any settings. So that's another option for authors with access to AME.

I download many times the watermark and i think is the same please review the link and the archive inside.
If you're visiting the article and then downloading the watermark, you're getting the right one. Here's the direct link to the watermark that I just downloaded and confirmed to be correct: http://marketplace-knowledgebase.s3.amazonaws.com/videohive/videohive_watermark.zip.
Hello Clarecomm,
I wanted to quickly jump in here to address some of the points in hopes of clearing the air.
The new watermark is actually based off of the old one, with some slight changes to the styling that should make it less intrusive, while also ensuring one watermark can be used for both light and dark videos. When your file was first received, the watermark looked a bit fuzzy around the edges, larger than it should be, and much more white, vibrant and overpowering than it should look. I'm guessing this is what made the original reviewer assume you were using the old watermark. So the file got soft-rejected.
When the file was resubmitted, occasionally there's a very short period of time (while the server encodes the MP4 version) where the file's available to be reviewed, but we cannot see the changes. In this case though, since you used the new watermark the whole time, the changes were not apparent. You weren't using the old watermark like reported by the reviewers, but it still did not look right. So again, the file was rejected because the reviewer could not see any changes, so he/she must have assumed that no changes were actually made. This was a simple mistake and while I don't mean to make excuses, we never intended to suggest that you were lying about making the update. So again, I'm very sorry for the mis-communication and confusion.
The approved file is using the new watermark (as it was the whole time) but it does not look as clear and sharp as it should. It also still looks scaled up and is much more bright and vibrant than it should be. As its mentioned in the upload instructions, the watermark should be applied exactly how it's been provided without modifying it in any way, shape or form. I took a second to apply the watermark to your video without changing it at all and you can see in the screenshot below, it looks much clearer. Protecting the video, while not overpowering it.
In the future, please make sure to apply the watermark without modifying it at all to avoid any issues with your files not being accepted specifically for watermark-related problems. I'll also have a chat with the team to make sure anytime a watermark is not applied correctly we use clear messages to help explain the problem. In hopes that we can avoid situations like this from happening again.
I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, and hope this makes more sense now.
What's happening?We're making a slight change to the minimum duration requirements for Stock Footage. Historically we've required Stock Footage submissions to be a minimum of 10 seconds in total length. We've grown to realize that Stock Footage under 10 seconds can be both useful and valuable.
So effective immediately, we're going to lower the minimum duration requirements for Stock Footage down to 5 seconds. And we'll be closely monitoring files that fall into this new duration to determine if any additional policy tweaks are needed in the future.
When is this happening?Today.
Additional informationAll Stock Footage authors should be mindful of submission usefulness and commercial utility. Just because we're allowing submissions that are between 5 – 10 seconds long, it doesn't mean we're going to accept anything and everything. All submissions will still be reviewed against our normal, standard quality standards.
Authors should always try to curate their footage library. Shooting for one hour could produce 720 5-second clips, but its unrealistic to assume that every single 5-second block of footage will be useful, valuable, and serve a real commercial utility. For this reason, its very important authors are always attempting to submit footage that has been pre-screened and hand selected from all available shots. This will help ensure your files have the best possible chance of being approved.
Hey Volkan,
Using the new watermark is optional until August 24th. Starting the 25th, we'll be requiring it so for the time being your files will not be rejected for using the incorrect watermark. You might as well start using the new watermark for any future submissions though .

Sinn 900 Flieger S
Black signifies objectivity and functionality both of which are inherent in the design of the 900 PILOT S pilot watch. But there is a further connection to the colour black: the S in the model name stands for Schwarz (black) signifying the black hard coating of the watch. There is an overriding SINN priority behind this the suitability of each watch for everyday use. To achieve this we have additionally hardened the satinised stainless steel case usingTEGIMENT Technology. The hardening also provides the base to which the high-grade, black PVD coating can be applied. This combined process results in a highly practical benefit: by applying a coating with a hardness of 2,000 HV (Vickers hardness) to the hardened steel (1,500 HV), we prevent the otherwise common problem of cracking paint.
The pilot watchs other technical features also fulfil the most exacting demands in terms of precision and functionality. The black galvanised dial and the case diameter of 44 mm ensure perfect readability, for instance. Crucial features for professional use include Magnetic Field Protection up to 80,000 A/m, the interior pilots bezel and the second 24-hour time zone which can easily be set using the knurled crown at 10 oclock.

Solutions for the repair of rear subframe bushing mount points for the E28?

I mentioned your write-up to the BMW certified body shop. They simply refused the work because there was no "BMW approved fix." They also said any attempt by them would well exceed $2200. Honestly, I think they have my best interests in mind from their perspective: a 25 year old car rolls into their shop, it needs a full body repaint and some rust repair beyond the subframe, 240k on the odometer, and there are various yet undefined fluid leaks. It does not look like a worthy candidate for restoration considering its less than collectible status.
Nevertheless, I intend to drive this car as long as is feasible, and as long as it's safe.
I intend to find an independent body shop that's a bit more adventurous. For now, since I need new subframe bushings anyway, I'll replace them with polyurethane versions. The thinking is that the stiffer bushings will not allow as much deflection and twisting of the subframe bushing pins. It will hopefully resist the advance of the deterioration at the mount points. Add a rear strut brace and maybe the whole rear end will be tight enough to drive as-is for awhile. It'll give me time to determine if I want to spend thousands on the body repair, or search for a donor with a good chassis.
I'm guessing your body man never took any pictures of the work in progress, but I'd love to see them if he did.
