R. Kelly Isn't Funny Anymore
Let me just start off by apologizing for the fact that up until yesterday, I've definitely been one of the numerous assholes who found R. Kelly fucking hilarious in a crazy person who constantly says and/or sings ridiculous shit kind of way.
Not anymore.
If you haven't seen or heard about it by now, the Village Voice published an interview with Jim DeRogatis, the journalist who actively investigated the R-Kelly sex accusations for the Chicago Sun-Times, and holy shit. What you'll find is a fucked up tale of a man who didn't just pee on one girl in some video, but systematically preyed on 14-year-olds, and possibly younger, without consequence for years thanks to a careful selection of his victims and the sad state of justice for the black community in America. Even more disturbing is all this information has been publicly available in court records for a decade, but very few people bothered to look it up. It was so bad, R. Kelly got a pass from Jezebel who normally can't wait to pelt a target with bloody tampons at the slightest hint of misogyny. This should have been a goddamn feast for them which is why DeRogatis called them out in the interview, and as of this post, they have yet to respond. So below's the full text which if there's one thing you're going to read today instead of working, make it this. (And maybe a few bikini pictures. It's Christmas.)

'Dark Knight Rises': 25 Unforgettable Quotes From Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy (PHOTOS)
Though many fans are shaking in anticipation for the summer flick's big premiere, the movie's release is also bittersweet as it means the Oscar-nominated filmmaker will no longer be involved in the Caped Crusader's movies — should the studio wish to make another one.
Nolan — who wrote and directed Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises — has been credited with reviving the series after 1997's less-than-stellar Batman & Robin.
To commemorate the completion of Nolan's trilogy, Celebuzz is taking a look at his saga's 25 most unforgettable lines.
Early reviews for The Dark Knight Rises have already hit the web and, as one might expect, the film is already receiving some of the biggest accolades of the year.
Perhaps the strongest praise for the film came from The Hollywood Reporter, where its critic called it the best of director's Batman trilogy.
"Entirely enveloping and at times unnerving in a relevant way one would never have imagined, as a cohesive whole this ranks as the best of Nolan's trio, even if it lacks — how could it not? — an element as unique as Heath Ledger's immortal turn in The Dark Knight," Todd McCarthy wrote in his review. "It's a blockbuster by any standard."
The film currently is sitting at high with at least a 80 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

This is a beautiful Oracle White-Paper on Explain Plan - Oracle Optimizer : Explain the EXPLAIN PLAN
[1] EXPLAIN PLAN FOR <your_entire_query>; [2] SELECT * FROM TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY); [3] You'll get something like this : Plan hash value: 1388734953 ----------------------------------------------------------------- | Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Cost (%CPU)| Time | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 1 | 2 (0)| 00:00:01 | | 1 | FAST DUAL | | 1 | 2 (0)| 00:00:01 | ----------------------------------------------------------------- This is the Explain Plan, which indicates the steps how the query is executed by the Oracle Optimizer. Also, highlights factors like - Cost, Cardinality, Estimated Time taken, etc.
Read this thoroughly and you'll get to know all the internal workings and internal concepts.
I've even kept a print-out of this with me. ;-)

Excerpts from the White Paper link :
What is Cost?
The Oracle Optimizer is a cost-based optimizer. The execution plan selected for a SQL statement is
just one of the many alternative execution plans considered by the Optimizer. The Optimizer selects
the execution plan with the lowest cost, where cost represents the estimated resource usage for that
plan. The lower the cost the more efficient the plan is expected to be. The optimizer's cost model
accounts for the IO, CPU, and network resources that will be used by the query.
In order to determine if you are looking at a good execution plan or not, you need to understand how
the Optimizer determined the plan in the first place. You should also be able to look at the execution
plan and assess if the Optimizer has made any mistake in its estimations or calculations, leading to a
suboptimal plan. The components to assess are:
• Cardinality– Estimate of the number of rows coming out of each of the operations.
• Access method – The way in which the data is being accessed, via either a table scan or index
• Join method – The method (e.g., hash, sort-merge, etc.) used to join tables with each other.
• Join type – The type of join (e.g., outer, anti, semi, etc.).
• Join order – The order in which the tables are joined to each other.
• Partition pruning – Are only the necessary partitions being accessed to answer the query?
• Parallel Execution – In case of parallel execution, is each operation in the plan being
conducted in parallel? Is the right data redistribution method being used?
The cardinality is the estimated number of rows that will be returned by each operation. The Optimizer
determines the cardinality for each operation based on a complex set of formulas that use both table
and column level statistics as input (or the statistics derived by dynamic sampling). One of the simplest
formulas is used when there is a single equality predicate in a single table query (with no histogram). In
this case the Optimizer assumes a uniform distribution and calculates the cardinality for the query by
dividing the total number of rows in the table by the number of distinct values in the column used in
the where clause predicate.
Go through each section - Cardinality (i.e. no of rows), Access Method (i.e. Full Table Scan, Index Scan), various Join Methods, and all factors which determine the query optimization.
I can't mention here all the details. It would be too much for this space. Hope you understand.
Please go through the White Paper, you'll get answers to all your questions. Even if you don't understand something, we 're always here.

Now in its seventh year, the event aims to preserve and promote equestrian traditions in Woodside and nearby communities, said Day of the Horse co-chairs Fentress Hall and Donna Poy.
The trail ride draws participants from across the state, said Day of the Horse spokesperson Nan Meek. The horse fair includes fun activities and information for children and adults, she said.
Nearly 2,000 people come to Woodside for the event, Ms. Meek said.
At a March 2 kickoff for the Day of the Horse, the co-chairs unveiled the commemorative artwork for the event, "Racing the Storm," donated by artist Nancy Dunlop Cawdrey. The painting depicts two trail riders racing to return home before a storm unleashes its power. A reproduction of the original will be raffled as part of fundraising for Day of the Horse.
Ms. Hall and Ms. Poy thanked the sponsors of Day of the Horse, listed on the website of the Woodside-area Horse Owners Association, and invited others to sponsor the event.
The association said that about $65,000 raised from Day of the Horse events have been given to the Folger Stable Renovation and Endowment Fund; trail maintenance and building in town; county parks; the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District; regional equestrian activities for children; the Veryl Goodnight sculpture "Spring and Sprite"; and large animal rescue equipment.

Well, I am really impressed with ht://Dig's performance in the Apache-based
WebTen Web server virtual Unix environment on a Mac G3 with Mac OS 8.6 (not
Mac OS X Server). The G3 Mac a 400 Mhz w/ 256 Mb RAM and an Ultra2 LVD hard
drive. It is much faster than our old system, ht://Dig in Apache under
Digital Unix on a 275 Mhz Dec Alpha w/ 128 Mb RAM and SCSI-2 hard drive. It
hasn't crashed once, and I've even been doing other stuff while htsearch is
handling 15 simultaneous searches.
I let Tenon know that ht://Dig was the whole reason we got an underutilized
Mac and set up the server, and that their continued support of ht://Dig are
important to us. They said they may include the latest ht://Dig in their
soon-to-be final WebTen 3. They also said that they are following the GNU
license for ht://Dig, and the source code for all their work on it is
available on their ftp site. I don't know if any of their tweaks or patches
would be useful to the general ht://Dig project, but they certainly seem to
be skilled at porting Unix environments stably to the Mac.

V8 supercar driver David Besnard has been thrown a lifeline and will get a drive for the coming season in a new Queensland-based Ford team.
A former Stone Brothers Racing driver, Besnard was dumped by Ford Performance Racing last year when the Melbourne-based squad opted to run with two, not three, cars and faced a season on the sidelines.
With just five weeks to go before the 2004 V8 campaign gets under way in Adelaide, the Sydney-born driver - a former national formula Ford champion and previous winner of one of the country's major V8 endurance races, the Queensland 500 - still had not found a team.
But Besnard has been snapped up by a new squad that will be backed by several sponsors gathered by team principal Craig Gore.
The operation has reportedly bought the two BA Falcons used last year by the 00 Motorsport squad along with most of 00's spares and parts. Full details, including the new team's livery and entry name, will be unveiled in Brisbane at the weekend.
Yesterday, all Besnard would say about his 11th-hour reprieve was: "I am excited about the year ahead. We have a massive job ahead of us, but we are starting to gather some of the right people around us."
In other V8 news, the England-based Triple Eight engineering unveiled its new Falcon racecars with distinctive livery. The team's numbers (last year 65 and 66) will change, with Brazilian Max Wilson carrying 888 and New Zealander Paul Radisich carrying 88.
Meanwhile, Australian Troy Bayliss made an encouraging start on his first test day on a new Ducati race bike. Bayliss completed a total of 44 laps at the Sepang track in Malaysia, setting a best time of two minutes, 04.208 seconds, well over half-a-second quicker than last year's race time (2:04.989). "I went quicker than last year's race time and that's a good sign," he said.

Microdermabrasion takes a gentle approach to softening faces, unlike taking a hair dryer to a smug-looking snowman. Smooth things over with this voucher.
Choose from Four Options
- $32 for one signature facial (a $75 value)
- $27 for one microdermabrasion treatment (a $55 value)
- $79 for three microdermabrasion treatments (a $165 value)
- $129 for five microdermabrasion treatments (a $275 value)

The 60-minute, customized signature facial pulls out each and every one of the stops. Aestheticians first analyze skin to create an informed plan of action. From there, they combine a slew of corrective serums and moisturizers to work alongside a double cleanse, exfoliation with extractions, massage, and mask. Alternatively, a 45-minute diamond-tipped microdermabrasion wand removes outer layers of skin and blackheads to reveal more youthful-looking skin, before treating visages to a double cleanse, moisturizer, and eye and lip therapy.

Started out as a mobile company in the summer of 2012, SpaGo gained enough interest that by the end of the year that they opened a physical location. Now, at their Chattanooga base, the team helps bring out the best in clients with a glamorizing slate of spa services, such as signature facials, body polishes, PCA chemical peels, and makeup applications. The beauty professionals also still tote the show to clients' home turf with in-home spa parties.

Collections: Demon Hunter's Ryan Clark Picks His 6 Favorite Things in the World
"I would definitely say I have a collector's mentality," Demon Hunter singer Ryan Clark says. "When I was younger, it was baseball cards. For two seconds, it was stamps. Then it was comic books, and after that, it became music. I can get pretty obsessive."
Currently, Clark's obsessive tendencies are equally balanced between the visual and audial. His dual interests are reflected in the pieces that make up his personal collection. - Richard Bienstock
1. Favorite Music Medium: Vinyl
"I worked at a record store for about three years, and I would spend my entire paycheck there. I probably have somewhere between 5,000 and 8,000 CDs, but I also have a lot of vinyl. In general, I'm pretty selective with my vinyl. I like the larger format. For the most part, I have to dig the artwork as well as the music. Any record that fit both of those bills I'm gonna have, like Dark Side of the Moon or the first Danzig album."
2. Favorite Hog: Harley-Davidson
"I bought this '79 Ironhead Sportster about two years ago, and I'm pretty obsessed with it. I put on the sissy bar, changed the seat, and did a few other minor changes."
3. Favorite Random S**T: Oddities
"I like little oddity-type things, creepy stuff you'd find in an old shop—like doll heads, skulls, anatomical pieces. A lot of this stuff winds up being used in designs for album packaging and other things. I'll buy something for a cover then just keep it for my collection."
4. Favorite Clothing Item: T-shirts
"If I'm at a show and digging the band, I'll usually pick up a shirt or two. At this point I probably have between 150 and 200 band shirts. You can't really see it, but here I'm wearing an At the Gates shirt with the original logo."
5. Favorite Trophies: Grammy Medallions

Hasselbaink off as Chelsea surrender
Everton 2-1 Chelsea
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink was sent off for violent conduct as Chelsea continued their bad run of away form with another defeat at Everton.
Goals from Danny Cadamarteri and Kevin Campbell condemned Chelsea to their fifth away loss of the season and continued Everton's own impressive run of form with a third consecutive win.
Chelsea have now failed to win on their travels for eight matches and have not won away from Stamford Bridge all season.
A lacklustre match burst into life in the second half with two Everton goals and Hasselbaink's sending off following Chelsea's opener in first-half injury time.
Everton had just equalised, with Cadamarteri slotting home from a fine Scot Gemmill through ball when Hasselbaink clashed with Michael Ball.
The Chelsea striker appeared to elbow Ball in the face and the referee brandished the red card after consulting with his linesman.
But the game hinged on a frenetic opening five minutes of the second half when Chelsea's Eidur Gudjohnsen, playing in the place of the departed Tore Andre Flo, hit the post.
Minutes after Hasselbaink's dismissal Campbell capitalised on a defensive mix up following a hopeful ball pumped into the area to hit the winner.
The two teams had plenty to be nervous about before the game with Everton missing a clutch of injured players and Chelsea's poor travelling form, and they showed it in the first half.
Little excitement
The opening 45 minutes provided little in the way of excitement with Chelsea's Sam Dalla Bona heading just over the bar and Everton's Scot Gemmill scuffing a shot in the six yard area.
But Chelsea unexpectedly took the lead in the dying seconds when Dalla Bona picked up a corner clearance and crisply struck a 25-yard volley home.
The Italy under-18 captain had his first shot blocked but made no mistake with his second bite of the cherry.
But Everton seemed to be stunned into action after falling behind and emerged after half-time a different team to take the game to Chelsea and win all three points.
Everton: Gerrard, S. Watson, Weir, Ball, Naysmith, Gemmill, Pembridge, Hughes, Tal, Campbell, Cadamarteri. Subs: Unsworth, Simonsen, Milligan, McLeod, Clarke.
Chelsea: de Goey, Leboeuf, Desailly, Bogarde, Melchiot, Jokanovic, Wise, Dalla Bona, Gudjohnsen, Hasselbaink, Zola. Subs: Poyet, Morris, Cudicini, Terry, Harley.
Referee: R Styles (Waterlooville).

The Federal Communications Commission is enlisting the public into its inquiry about power outages and problems with emergency networks in the wake of the June 29-June 30 massive storm that whipped across the middle of the U.S.
Power outages and other network problems resulted in many 911 facilities suffering "isolated outages" in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and Pennsylvania and "systemic failures" in northern Virginia and the state of West Virginia, the FCC's public safety bureau chief David Turetsky told the commission at its meeting Thursday.
"A significant number of public safety answering points couldn't receive and properly dispatch (emergency) 911 calls at all," he said. "Once some connectivity was restored many (points) were down for several days."
The bureau is working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency as well as state and local governments on how to prevent the 911 problems in the future, FCC chairman Julius Genachowski said. More than 4 million lost power, he noted, and recalled one incident in which a Prince William, Va., man having a heart attack got a busy signal when he called 911 during the outage. He got through on a non-emergency line, Genachowski said.
The massive storm called a derecho, "made clear the absolutely vital role of our communications networks, particularly during emergencies," he said.
The FCC is seeking public input on the recent outages and other incidents to "make our emergency and other communications more reliable and resilient everywhere," he said. "The bottom line – 911 outages are unacceptable, and we must and will work with all stakeholders to address this serious issue. "
Those who want to make public comment on the issue can go to the FCC web site.

Ilana Barak's Profile
From an early age I have loved to design jewelry. I used to travel to the big city, picking up supplies. When I grew up I studied architecture, which is my main occupation nowadays. After having married and having given birth to two daughters, while they where growing up, I returned to jewelry design, this time more intensely, and it became a very central part in my own and my daughter Galit's life | galit.etsy.com |.
In my work I was attracted to creating beautiful shapes, most of which are made of woven beads in the Peyote technique, utilizing interesting color combinations. This work constantly corresponds to issues in the world of architecture.
When I create, I observe how the jewelry pieces appear on the various parts of the body, and I strive for it to be flattering to the client, so that whoever wears it will be complimented for her choice. Each piece is designed by me impeccably, kn…

Medical Definition of Pupil
Pupil: The opening of the iris. The pupil may appear to open (dilate) and close (constrict), but it is really the iris that is the prime mover; the pupil is merely the absence of iris. The pupil determines how much light is let into the eye. Both pupils are usually of equal size. If they are not, the condition is called anisocoria.

Andrew Lang's King Arthur - Tales of the Round Table
It was on the eve of Pentecost that all the Knights of the Table Round met
together at Camelot, and a great feast was made ready for them. And as they sat
at supper they heard a loud noise, as of the crashing of thunder, and it seemed
as if the roof would fall on them. Then, in the midst of the thunder, there
entered a sunbeam, brighter by seven times than the brightest day, and its
brightness was not of this world. The Knights held their peace, but every man
looked at his neighbour, and his countenance shone fairer than ever it had done
before. As they sat dumb, for their tongues felt as if they could speak nothing,
there floated in the hall the Holy Graal, and over it a veil of white samite, so
that none might see it nor who bare it. But sweet odours filled the place, and
every Knight had set before him the food he loved best; and after that the Holy
Vessel departed suddenly, they wist not where. When it had gone their tongues
were loosened, and the King gave thanks for the wonders that they had been
permitted to see. After that he had finished, Sir Gawaine stood up and vowed to
depart the next morning in quest of the Holy Graal, and not to return until he
had seen it. "But if after a year and a day I may not speed in my quest," said
he, "I shall come again, for I shall know that the sight of it is not for me."
And many of the Knights there sitting swore a like vow.

McCartney Live Collection Includes Unreleased Tracks
The Deluxe Edition of Paul McCartney's new Wings Over America reissue features eight songs from Wings' two shows at Daly City, California's Cow Palace. The band played the venue, just outside of San Francisco, on June 13th and 14th, 1976, and although none of the tracks made their way onto the original live album — or the tour's two concert films, Rockshow and Wings Over The World — nearly 30 minutes of music from the shows are now included as a bonus disc. McCartney's performance at the Cow Palace came just short of 10 years after the Beatles' final public concert at nearby Candlestick Park.

The current recycle center was just a random assortment of different size trash cans and two cardboard boxes one of which was slowly becoming more duct tape than cardboard to hold all the aluminum cans. A new recycle center was needed with better organization.
The idea was simple. Make a table with holes on top of different shapes with labels people could use to associate to what goes in each trash can underneath. So using all scrap wood and hardboard found at the shop I first created the table top in Inkscape as a 6 feet by 2 feet rectangle with ~10 inch diameter holes.
We found out the hard way after feeding this to the CNC table that Inkscape uses 72 dpi where the CNC table uses 90 (or was it the other way around?). So the bit started to cut shapes outside the edge of the rectangle. Tyler Crumpton told me to just shrink the drawing by 20% and poof it was perfect 6 feet by 2 feet rectangle and 10 inch shapes!
So then I used the laser cutter to cut out stencils to help spray paint the labels onto the spots under the shapes.
I then used scrap wood to make a quick table frame to hold this top over standard 13 gallon kitchen trash cans. So that meant it had to be 3 feet tall to give plenty of clearance.
The last step was to paint the labels and buy two more trash cans from Lowe's.

text: In all this I'm a bit lost--how can I rely on a host that's not on (it burnt to a crisp) to set itself as 'down'? the server clearly has to have some logic to set hosts as down (even if it is a simple tcp connect/ping). Having a node that is 'there', but whose health check script fails set itself 'down' is fine as an option, but by default why separate out the logic? Shouldn't a 'resource manager' manage the resources? I concur using the exit code to indicate yes/no and then stderr with ERROR to indicate the verbosity is ideal. I also had questions on pbsdsh that weren't clear; Is this what most people use to do parallel tasks? It does not seem to support any mechanism to copy a program/binary/input/output for staging...

Santiago Calatrava's adios to DIA: It's about the money, honey
That sucking sound you hear out at Denver International Airport isn't the arrival of the long-awaited, ever-elusive direct route to Tokyo. No, it's the sound of tens of millions of dollars in "concepting" and design fees vanishing into the wild blue yonder, as architect Santiago Calatrava bows out of the South Terminal Redevelopment Project.
Rumors have been flying for weeks that Calatrava's design firm had essentially walked off the $500 million expansion project, which includes a train station and hotel. His exit didn't become official, though, until the release of a letter this week from Santiago's spouse and business manager, Robertina Calatrava, describing the project as "plagued by financial constraints, unnecessary time delays and deep divisions between the design team and the program managers at Parsons and DIA's representatives."
Everyone's now scrambling to strike an upbeat tone about the current situation. DIA manager Kim Day, who pushed for hiring the "signature" architect, now stresses that the project can move ahead just fine without him -- even though she described Calatrava as the redevelopment's "overall architectural guru" in my 2010 feature on her grand plans for the airport, "DIA Dreams." City officials have expressed complete confidence in Parsons Transportation Group's oversight of the project -- even though the head of its team, Dwight Pullen, recently departed for a job with CH2M Hill.
But it's not too hard to read between (indeed, smack dab in the middle of) the lines of Robertina's kiss-off letter to see what sort of disagreements led to Calatrava's decision to bail. In addition to "irreconcilable" differences with the Parsons team, she wrote, "the Project still lacks sufficient funding, particularly dollars for the hard cost components of the Project; [and] it continues to set an unrealistic schedule with little or no room to develop and consolidate the design in keeping with the standards and quality of a Calatrava signature design."
Well, there you go. Genius can't be rushed, trimmed or sold short. Especially a signature genius. Calatrava is famous not simply for crowd-pleasing designs but notorious cost overruns, and the battle over "quality" versus a skyrocketing budget began to sour his romance with DIA early in the game. It's clear the designer and his client were headed in different directions a few months ago, when Day and company balked at his proposed $60 million "signature" bridge over Peña Boulevard, first suggesting that a compromise could be reached at $22 million, then scrapping the idea when RTD refused to pay a third of that cost.
Just what sort of "hard cost components" the Calatravas say the airport doesn't have the money for has yet to be clarified. Day may yet be able to put together a station and hotel that builds on Calatrava's concept, albeit more ho-hum in its ambitions than she would have liked. You can count on it lacking one very expensive item, though.

Midterms have officially taken control of my life for the past week, and a little R&R is much needed. Needless to say, I cannot wait for the arrival of spring break. Although I am just going home for the week and catching up on sleep and the Real Housewives, spring break is generally a time that college students travel in groups to tropical locations for a fun-filled week. Warm sand, a cool turquoise ocean and a week with your friends, it couldn't get much better than that if you ask me! As you pack your bags, keep in mind to include brighter colors to welcome the sunny skies!
I've spotted a Fashionista with a sunny state of mind. With a basic black blouse and a fun monochromatic printed pant, this Fashionista brings in a touch of turquoise through her accessories. The addition of the vibrant hue creates a stimulating dimension to her outfit. Her black and white look acts as a canvas for her accessories, and the bright turquoise of her flats took me right to the islands of Turks and Caicos. Her ballet flats are simple, yet completely functional when running out the door to class. Instead of a generic pair of black flats, this Fashionista opted for a bright pop of color creating a more visually appealing ensemble.
Although her turquoise flats are a refreshing element to her look, the real statement pieces, however, are this Fashionista's stacked bracelets. Her thick turquoise bangle complements the delicate turquoise and periwinkle cabochon bracelet with crystal detailing. With an equally vivid nail color, this stacked set of turquoise bracelets makes for a winning combination.
Clearly a break filled with sunshine and sand is on this Fashionista's mind as she takes her simple look to the next level with the addition of bright turquoise accessories. Swap out her blouse and pants for a maxi dress and strappy sandals, and this Fashionista is vacation ready!
Spotted: Check out Escada's fall 2014 ready-to-wear collection for a pop of turquoise!

They have a gate, drain, and a source.
Are you sure you're not talking about BJTs (bipolar junction transistors), which have a base, emitter, and a collector?
WRC you're right about the wiring, The 2 MOSFET drain and source are tied together but the gates are differents
On the picture , one of the component is gone with the rubber foam : its look like transistor : black with 3 pins ( it 's not bipolar transistors )
It happen to me also : the component gone so easily that I didn't realize it, maybe it is the issue for that FSU.
It is only while I compare to other pictures in the forum that there was a lack of component on my board.
fortunately I found it together with the rubber foam parts, so I will solder it back later
did you manage to extract completely the board from the box? I'm curious about the opposite side
Last edited by olivier577; 12-30-2011 at 01:33 AM. Reason: correction
sorry electronics!
I have come to the conclusion that the failure is in the transistor. In vacuum it can switch correctly to provide a 0-12 V exit but whit the motor fan connected (consuption of 6 A at full trottle) simply dont work.
Its a failure difficult to localize in a transistor and at first probably causes the overtemperature that broke solder pins (I resolder weeks ago and works), and in advanced transistor dies (actually).
I finally got a module in a scrapping because its very difficult to remove the gum to change transistor and a bad disipation of heat because a bad finish can cause a disaster.
Hi, After soldering the lost/refound component, remaking the joints of the 2 mosfet and testing the FSU alone with an oscilloscope, here are my observations:
- the FSU works again
- there is no PWM , the gates signals are continuous voltage only , this is the reason why it heat so much its aluminium box... In fact there is no point on the board where square signals are present. Can somebody check its own FSU if it's the same ?
- the 2 bridges are in fact 2 resistors 10 milliohm used to balance the currents between the 2 MOSFET and balance the power also. The mesure of the DC voltage on those resistors can be used to evaluate the current of the blower and its worn state.
- I guess the principal duty of the computer on the other side is switching off the power transistors if the control voltage goes under 1V.
I put the FSU back in the car and it still work, I don't know if it will last long. because of the heat...
but for this the potentiometer signal of the control panel could manage the gate directly and I found that both pins aren´t connected.
Maybe there is a PWM signal fron the microcontroller rectified and filtred as a DC signal.
I was looking for the datasheet of the microcontroler but dont exist whit this reference.
Yes the transitors works as variable resistors and a big waste of power goes into heat
but the advantage can be that there is no high current switching who could interfere with other electronic on the car (eg radio)
I didn't found any pwm signal on the 1st side of the board, but maybe on the chip side ??
or maybe my FSU has a little problem too, to check this I need another FSU to test...
If somebody needs to get rid of his failed FSU please email me...
about the chip, I bet the firm written on it ,ELMOS, is only the one who order the chip and designed the board, on their site they wrote that they program asic also. If I'm right nobody can find datasheet about that reference except ELMOS themselves.
Repair worked for me too
Wow, didn't think it would work, but as soon as I removed the PU protective layer, I saw 6 pins with bad cracked soldering. Cleaned it a little with SS brush, cotton eartip with little S39 and resoldered. Removed the S39 with toothbrush and little water and tested it before filling the cavity with silicone.... Saved me some money. Thanks for this clear post.

E39 A/C module battery drain
I've had the same battery drain issue on my 2003 E39 530i. The A/C module was at fault and the fan was always running which drained the battery overnight. The way I fixed this is by finding a fuse (located in the glove compartment) which cuts the power at the ignition, rewire and reposition the A/C module fuse. Now it works like a charm.
If you need more details please let me know and I'll post more technical instructions.

This is a clever fix but:
- You turn a unswitched circuit into a switched circuit, not a bad idea.
- As long as the car runs, the fan will always run.
Given this current diagnostic problem:
> E39 (1997 - 2003) > Detailed step by step diagnostic DIY ... dead battery ... parasitic current drain
And, using information from this thread (and others), I opened a NEW thread solely to ask:
> E39 (1997 - 2003) > Do we have a DIY for how to build a test jig testing FSU/FSR operation on the bench?
Here are some graphics I created for that thread, most of which came from this thread:
> E39 (1997 - 2003) > failed blower resistor (final stage resistor) not really dead
Notice the ELMOS 10901D integrated circuit (16 pin surface mount chip), reputedly a "temperature compensated voltage regulator".

Cost vs time
Seems like allot of work for a pretty cheap part even OEM BMW which you know will work.You have to figure your time is worth something I usually charge myself 1/2 my shop
rate then I can keep track of how much I'm putting into a project even if it's my own.
The sad part (and the part that irks me most), is that they actually profit from their lousy design - in that millions of us are shelling out that $50 every few years. In effect, we're REWARDING them for their lousy design.
So, it behooves us to UNDERSTAND what is going wrong in these FSUs, rather than simply play dumb and fork over the money, time and time and time and time again.
Anyway, I tested the FSU harness connector voltage and resistance values with the key out of the ignition, and found the voltage to be over 12 volts and the resistance of the blower motor to be 0.5 ohms at the FSU harness connector.

my fsu was replaced only twice
once by dealer within warranty period with old style FSU, A few years later outside of warranty it failed. I replaced it with newer version, more fins, no issues since . my car a 2000 528 is 13 years old. I know I just jinksed my self,
The filler is a papery gray substance, black only on top. Do you think I can melt it out more gracefully than chiseling?
(I'm worried about damaging the components on the board, as some have done above.)
I wasn't sure whether to start a new short thread, or to post here, but, I've seen enough butchered keys and plastic flakes in ABS control module goop to ask before attempting to clean out my FSU.
There are plenty of pictures of cleaned out FSUs (showing the circuit board), and even some (see above) where they broke components off the circuit board, but no pictures (to my knowledge) of HOW they removed the black goop at the bottom of the FSU.
So, before I ruin mine, may I ask: How do you suggest we clean this stuff out without damaging the circuit board underneath. (I really wish I knew what I was doing.)
How deep is that circuit board anyway?
The fill looks VERY shallow in some of the pictures - but my chisel went in deeply as shown below.
EDIT: What 'is' this gray papery stuff anyway? It seems to have filaments throughout it, like heavy cardboard or something?
On this third pass, I hit some of the components!
There must be a more graceful way to remove this papery stuff.
OK. I'm about to ruin this thing as more components are popping up!
I tried to see if I could melt it out, but the stuff just burns!
Well, the stuff is rubbery like a pencil eraser, and about 1/8" inch thick. I wish there was a more graceful way, but here is where I am:
Digging onward ...
Unfortunately, at this point, I've already ruined the FSU (but I don't know it yet), as that shiny thing below is the INSIDE of a chip!
It's getting dangerously close to the components ...
At some point, the chisel was far too large and impassionate, so I tried these dental picks, which were too small & personal:
Now it's getting nearer to the components, which I don't want to knock off the board (or cut a trace):
Even though it's ruined, I may as well continue to dig away, just to see what's down there:

Wow, it's great that this thread is still going. I visited a couple of years ago to find out about my blown FSU. It's nice to see progress from when I posted my photos of a resoldering fix.
The reason I'm back is that my fixed FSU has failed again as expected. However 2 years ain't too bad for an experimental fix!
Anyway, I am choosing to buy a new FSU and I am only considering brand names whether from eBay or not. From eBay I'm looking at 3 brands so far: Hella/Behr, Erst Wahle, Behr. Except for the Erst Wahle, they state in their product descriptions that they are German made and to beware of chinese copies etc. Prices are around $70 delivered.
According to Bluebee's in-depth analysis and polling of BMW dealerships, it seems the brand to go for is Valeo and possibly Sitronic, as that is what BMW supplies.
Can anyone confirm this? And a source for purchasing from would be great too!

Congrats as you have become Bee's here for life! Great find. Couple points maybe made elsewhere, but did not feel like reading every post, sorry. FSU would be at its COOLEST when fan is on high- think about it. FSU is absorbing or resisting power to the fan the least. FSU would be hottest when on lowest speed-BTW, my "auto" function never goes below three lights. That seems to be "autos" lowest setting. Manually, I can go to one or two lights for fan speed. Do not recommend using thermal conductive white paste to fill void. I would use a non-conductive silicon or just wrap entire FSU with electrical tape and leave it open. good going all and for Bee pushing for the answer as I would never have thought it repairable-it really isn't with surface mount components but never thought of just giving components room to expand. Would feel better if we could identify parts to resolder. Maybe someone touches on this. Will read all later.
Blue's life is in order again!! Can start her canonizing :-)
As an aside, I tried to find more information about the ELMOS 0901D chip (aka E109.01D), but it's very hard to find a datasheet on it.
Here's are sources of the chip:
Here is a guy who tried to find the datasheet on the chip:
Translation: The controller turns the stove Citroen Evasion is mikruha Elmos 10901D. Broke brain search, help me find datasheet.
Translation: lobezik, in my opinion must be sought here: http://www.elmos.de/ At least this is just their product.
Translation: lobezik, decorated the topic so that the meaning was clear from the title. For the first time fix for you.
Translation: lobezik, you never had to use tech support? I thus find analogies opamp from AD, changing product Texas Instruments ... Write a letter to them requesting datasheet. The firm is a miserable and fresh client not throw. A mikruha still produce them!

Thank you very much for your interest in our products.
Unfortunately we are strictly not allowed to provide any information concerning the E109.01D to you as this product is customer specific.

But write this type of comparator LM711.
And here the LM711, I do not know. Do it and the body 14 pins ... frustration, disappointment
Try to look for installation, can they really pushed back comparators.

They appear to be the CRITICAL component in the FSU, as shown in the wiring diagram.
Yet, I can't find a single picture of these two MOSFETs.

The semi-conductors circled in Blues BMW diagram are not the MOSFET you are looking for information on. The Mosfet is 14 pin and what Blue has circled is something different. I think if these Mosfets were in 1000 BMW owner's hands, maybe one person out of 1000, if that, would have the skills to install in the carcass we have left after removing all the potting material. How are we determining the MOSFET is bad in any situation? Again, even with a data sheet which we will never get because these Mosfets are supposedly "special" to BMW (just like they try to hide their MAF sensor). Few would have the skills to test a 14 pin Mosfet. I believe the FSUs that have been "repaired" are again the usual "open" circuit BMW seems to like so much (can we say ABS module).
The usual mode that OEMs use to make their parts source-able only through the OEM is by taking a standard part- say a standard motor made by GE- and GE will make some standard motors (easily obtainable by anyone with a GE part number on it) and set them aside to be stamped with an OEMs part number instead of the GE part number anyone could obtain through any GE distributor. Sometimes you might source a replacement just by taking a chance and buying a motor with same frame#, same voltage, same RPM, etc., but you are never sure the motor will work like the one supplied by the OEM. I am surprised that the part number stamped on this Mosfet can be found for sale anywhere. This is not to say the same Mosfet is not out there for sale for a quarter anywhere, but the part number should not be found listed anywhere. Makes me think it is not really re-stamped with a BMW part#, but possibly the "D" added to denote sold to BMW or the 01D just added to a std. mosfet. Much ado about nothing, sorry. rant off.

Calgary Stampeders coach Jon Hufnagel finalist for CFL coach of the year
By IAN BUSBY, QMI Agency
The 2012 season was a wild rollercoaster for the Calgary Stampeders, but the CFL still managed to win more games than anyone else.
Now the architect of that season is up for a major victory.
The Stamps had 72 different players suit up for them last season and they only got four starts out of their No. 1 pivot.
Through all this adversity, the team kept on winning games and improving. Now the Stampeders head coach is getting rewarded for what was a remarkable season in which the team represented the West Division in the Grey Cup.
The CFL announced on Wednesday that John Hufnagel, Scott Milanovich of the Toronto Argonauts and Mike Benevides of the B.C. Lions are the finalists for the Annis Stukus Trophy for coach of the year.
"Both Mike and Scott did excellent coaching work in 2012 and I'm honoured to be named a finalist for the coach of the year award along with those two men," Hufnagel said in a statement.

Reversing Gender Roles With A Little Help From Ke$ha
When most people think of Ke$ha, feminism is not the first word that comes to mind. But I think her music does have some vaguely feminist merits.
I remember some time before I even discovered the FBomb (my life must have been so meaningless…) I was thinking about sexism in music. I remember thinking, "I wonder why most music by women is all about how much they love their guys, and men's music is all about hooking up with random, personality-less girls at parties? Women almost never treat men like meaningless objects in music, but men do all the time."
I tried to think of a song where women treat men like men treat them. The only one I could come up with was …

Governor Calls President's Budget Cuts Outrageous'
Governor Sarah Palin today expressed great dismay over President Obama's proposed budget cuts for Fiscal Year 2010.
The president proposes to cut millions from missile defense funding and to reduce spending for the Denali Commission and the Village Safe Water program.
"These budget cuts add up to about half of 1 percent," Governor Palin said. "But while they do little to put brakes on the exploding federal deficit, they hit Alaska hard. I join our congressional delegation in their determination to see that Alaska's unique challenges and its key role in national defense are not overlooked."
The Obama budget would cancel a second missile defense field at Fort Greely and freeze the number of interceptors being deployed there.
"This is an outrageous move at a time when North Korea has shown its willingness to flout international sentiments and conduct missile tests," Governor Palin said. "America needs a strong missile defense, and Alaska's strategic location is invaluable in protecting the nation."
The president's proposed cuts also would weaken the Village Safe Water program, which has been key in reducing health risks through improved sanitation in some of Alaska's poorest villages. Similarly, cuts to the Denali Commission eliminate job training programs in some of the most impoverished areas in the United States, eliminate village health clinics, and eliminate clean-up efforts for waste threatening water supplies.
Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell expressed concern about the Obama administration's proposed reduction in oil and gas exploration incentives. "That would have the effect of maintaining our dependence on foreign sources of energy, which is contrary to the president's stated objective. The higher energy costs for every citizen amounts to a tax on everyone. I hope the president will reconsider."
