Republicans suddenly fear disastrous 2018
The Tuesday night rout of Republican candidates up and down the ballot has triggered alarm bells in Republican circles that a deteriorating political environment could set in motion a Democratic wave in the 2018 midterm elections.
The most dramatic results unfolded in Virginia, where Democrats swept up victories in the governor's race and delegate contests across the state, fueled by suburban voters who once favored Republicans. But it wasn't just Virginia: Democrats won the New Jersey governor's mansion and in several suburban Philadelphia counties, where they nabbed local offices that have long been controlled by the GOP.
"I had an expectation that it would be tight, I did not expect it to break as dramatically as it did," said Rep. Ryan Costello, a Republican who represents suburban Philadelphia's Chester County, where Democrats notched unprecedented local wins. "It is largely driven by mainstream Republicans and independents being displeased by the tone and style of the administration, coupled with an historic off-year intensity by Democratic voters who wanted to make a statement. This is their first opportunity to do that."
For Republicans, who have won all of the marquee special congressional elections of the Donald Trump era to date, Tuesday's results across the country were a reminder that Democrats are, in fact, capable of translating liberal anti-Trump energy into actual votes. It was evidence of the environmental perils that often await a president's party in the midterm elections—especially when that president has historically low approval ratings.
"A major statewide race where both candidates are well defined is one thing," said Republican pollster Robert Blizzard. "State legislative races, where candidates typically aren't as well known, typically follow environmental trends."
Following results in places like Virginia and Pennsylvania, those concerns are now particularly acute for moderate suburban areas that weren't natural territory for Trump to begin with.
"If you're a GOP incumbent in a heavily suburban, college-educated district, I think you're worried today, and rightfully so," said veteran Republican strategist Chris Wilson.
Trump won an Electoral College victory without the support of some of those voters, while others, seeing the race as a binary choice between Trump and Hillary Clinton—who also had high unfavorable ratings—reluctantly backed him. The concern is that, without facing that stark choice again, some of these suburbanites may be inclined to more actively consider Democrats going forward.
"Clinton was such a horrible candidate that distaste for her may have held back the swing of college educated whites towards the Democrats," Wilson said. "If that's true, it's a real problem and one that Republicans must address prior to 2018."
For members of Congress like Costello—whose competitive district is a top Democratic target—the outcome underscored the urgent need to strengthen individual brands, or risk being overtaken by what looks to be an increasingly rough environment for Republicans.
"If you don't give your constituents enough opportunities to see you, listen to you, then you run the risk of being caught up in a wave," said Costello, noting his commitment to doing constituent meetings and holding town halls, as well as to making more appearances on local and cable news—where he is willing to discuss his disagreements with Trump as they arise.
"In a district like mine, No. 1, that's just what you should be doing, that's the job. But No. 2, what are Democrats going to do in 2018? They're going to try to tie every member such as myself to the president, regardless of how much I speak out, no matter what I do," he continued. "I need to make sure that voters have a good sense of who I am, what I do."
Certainly, the biggest races on Tuesday unfolded in deep-blue New Jersey and in Virginia, a state that has been trended more and more Democratic. GOP strategists cautioned against reading too much into results in those states, especially in an off-year election cycle, and given that efforts in 2016 to make every race about Trump backfired spectacularly for the Democrats. And there is still time for Republicans to make good on their legislative promises, they say, as GOP lawmakers scramble to land a tax reform deal.
"What we all have to acknowledge and address is that the electorate all over the country is mad at Congress, mad at Washington, D.C., mad at both political parties," said Rob Simms, the former executive director of the National Republican Congressional Committee. "The way to address that is to…legislate and govern. If we don't, then we are setting ourselves up to be held hostage by an extraordinarily volatile environment in which our opponents are extraordinarily energized and engaged."
David Kochel, a longtime Iowa-based Republican operative, said that the best way for individual Republican members to guard against that kind of environment is to make every effort to carve out identities that aren't reliant on the rest of the party.
"The biggest lesson for any Republican coming out of last night is to take care of your own message, your own district, your own state," he said. "The cavalry from Washington isn't coming."

allergic reactions to insect stings are caused by just
a few types of closely related stinging insects. In the United States, the
stinging insects that most commonly cause allergies include:
The types of stinging insects around you depend on where you live,
the time of year, and the local climate. Most people are stung while outdoors
in the late summer and early fall, when the populations of these stinging
insects are highest.

Sorry, this Workshop is over. Please visit our SCHEDULE page for upcoming workshops.
from Tuesday, July 18, 2017
to Wednesday, July 19, 2017
Sponsored by FATE and hosted by Rahway School District
Rahway, NJ
This two-day workshop will illustrate through extensive use of video how applying the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis to teaching Verbal Behavior (VB) can be effective in classroom settings for students with autism and other developmental disabilities.
Research has demonstrated that the application of these principles (motivation, stimulus control, reinforcement, extinction, etc.) to teaching language and other related (important) skills can lead to the development of functional communication skills, reduction in problem behavior, and an increase in social interactions.
At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to:
Identify the core deficits identified by the DSM-5 that define the autism diagnosis
Explain the benefits and steps involved in pairing teachers (teaching materials, and teaching environments) with positive reinforcement
List the benefits and steps involved in conditioning new reinforcers for children with limited interests.
List the benefits and steps involved in pairing peers with positive reinforcement for students who show little or no interest in others.
Define Mand and explain why it should be a focal point of an intervention plan for many students with autism.
Determine if a student is a candidate for an alternative communication system
Identify four important considerations when choosing an alternative communication system
Explain the benefits of using the results of a criterion-referenced assessment (VB-MAPP) for assisting in the selection of IEP goals
Describe how developmentally appropriate individual goals can be targeted during heterogeneous group activities
Explain how and when to program students for natural environment teaching (NET) and/or discrete trial training (DTT)
Describe how utilizing research-based teaching procedures can minimize the occurrence of problem behavior and improve the effectiveness of instruction.
Identify three reinforcement-based approaches that reduce problem behavior.

China's economy powered ahead in 2010, but the performance of its stock market far from impressed global investors.
Last year, the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index declined over 14 percent, gaining the unfortunate title of Asia's laggard market, as worries about economic overheating and regulatory uncertainty limited gains for Chinese equities.
However, market watchers are expecting a strong turnaround in the fortunes of mainland stocks this year.
Aadil Ibrahim, managing director of Bowen Capital, notes that when China's inflation cycle peaks, which he forecasts will occur before mid-year, the market will experience a "major" rally.
"Our view is we're only probably a few months away from when [inflation] peaks, and this is the time to start building positions, because when it peaks you will see a market rally and it's too late by then," he elaborated.
When consumer inflation begins to moderate and fall, Mingchun Sun, managing director and chief Greater China economist at Daiwa Securities Group, explains that concerns over price pressures and aggressive policy tightening will begin to fade, hence restoring confidence to the market.
"Falling inflation and slightly below-trend GDP growth gives policy makers a window of opportunity to focus on the economy's structural transformation and quality of economic growth," he continued. Sun forecasts China's GDP will taper off to 9.6% in 2011, from 10.3% last year.
Jerry Lou, China strategist at Morgan Stanley, agrees adding that a more balanced growth environment will lead to more continuity and predictability in China's economic policy.
"I'm expecting the market to respond positively to the decelerating economy because the tightening will be less, there will be more transparency, more continuity in the policies," he noted. "When you get a slower economy, I think you could very well have a re-rating of the market," Lou concluded.

The Thrift Savings Plan is a retirement savings plan for FERS and CSRS employees similar to "401 K" plans available in private sectors. FERS technicians must consider the TSP as a major component of their retirement and are strongly encouraged to maximize this benefit. Because your TSP account is a tax-deferred account, you cannot withdraw it until you leave federal service except in instances of extreme hardship or upon reaching age 59 1/2. An advantage of the TSP is that you pay no taxes on contributions or earnings until you withdraw your account. You are normally eligible to participate in the TSP beginning the first day of the pay period following receipt of your TSP election form (TSP-1) by the HRO. For FERS technicians the government automatically contributes the equivalent of 1% of your salary to your TSP account beginning the first pay period during the second open season after your entry on duty, whether you decide to contribute or not. If you choose to contribute to the TSP, the government will match your contributions up to 3% of your salary, and will contribute 50 cents on the dollar for the next 2%. Government contributions stop at 5%. You can contribute additional funds in accordance with the current rules. You may elect to have up to 10% of your military base pay go into TSP. For up-to-date information on TSP see the web site at www.tsp.gov.
The purpose of the TSP is to provide you with a source of income for your retirement. It is not a savings account that can be withdrawn at any time. If you think you may need your money in the near future, or if you do not have other funds saved for emergencies, you will want to consider your other needs carefully before deciding how much to contribute to the TSP. However, while you are still employed by the Federal Government, the TSP loan program can provide you access to funds you have contributed to your account. In addition, participants who are age 59 1/2 or older can make a one-time withdrawal from their TSP accounts while they are in Federal service. For more information on withdrawals and on loans visit TSP website at www.tsp.gov or contact your HRO. You may withdraw from your TSP account upon separation from federal service. However, if you withdraw funds from your TSP account, you may be subject to an early withdrawal penalty and the funds received will be considered taxable income.

Between phones, iPods, and computers, it often seems as though we are simply navigating our way through a seemingly hazardous tangle of cords and wires. It's no surprise that we were thrilled when we came across the idea of a DIY docking station – and even MORE thrilled when we realized it involved some of our favorite things, books! Contain those unruly phone cords with your very own Book Phone Charger. Talk about a "novel" idea!
What You'll Need:
Two hardcover books of your choice (make sure they're books you don't mind damaging)
Utility knife
Phone Charger (preferably an extra)
Scotch tape
What You'll Do:
1) Pick which book you're going to use as the holder for the charger. Take the end of the charger that you plug into your phone. On the upper corner on the spine-side of the book cover, trace around this end. Don't place the slit right on the edge of the book, leave some space as your phone will be docked here. From the outside in, you will be pushing this end of the plug through the hole you cut out.
2) Using the utility knife (and caution!), cut out the slit you just traced. This might take some effort since you will be cutting through a hard book cover. Make sure the end of the charger fits through this hole (from the inside of the book cover, outward). This will be where you "dock" your phone or iPod.
3) Now, you're going to cut out the compartment that the cord will be "hidden in." Open your book to the first page. Mark a rectangle that takes up almost the whole page – leave a ½ inch margin on each side.
4) Using the utility knife (as well as caution AND patience), begin to cut out the rectangle you just marked through the pages. You may have to do this a section of pages at a time, since the knife will most likely not cut through all of the pages at once. Continue cutting until there is a hollow deep enough to fit the cord.
*In order to keep the pages in place, I used a few piece of tape on the inside of the compartment.
5) Now, closer to the corner diagonal to where you placed the hole for the plug, you need to cut a small strip through the pages. This will be where the other end of the plug exits the book. Measure a small strip roughly the size of the cord width and cut. *Again, I used some tape to keep the pages in place.
6) Now, place the phone-end of the charger through the hole you cut. Within the compartment, wind the cord so that the majority of it is within the book. Allow the remainder of the cord (that will go into the wall) to wind out through the strip you just cut.
7) Place the second book on top of the first. You can either glue it or simply place it. Plug the cord into the wall, dock your phone or iPod and – voilá! – a new docking station.
Necessary? Maybe not – but it's a pleasant alternative to having cords run everywhere! Try out this easy DIY for yourself. Have any tips or advice of your own? Post a comment!

Klug: How much does an attorney cost?
Special to the Daily
There's a saying that cheap advice is never good and good advice is never cheap. But, really, how much should a person expect to pay for an attorney?
To answer the question, it is important to distinguish different common ways that attorneys are compensated for their services:
> Hourly Fees – In an hourly fee arrangement, an attorney charges an agreed hourly rate. Hourly fees are common in open-ended situations such as litigation and business matters where it is unknown at the outset how much work will be involved. A more experienced attorney will typically demand a higher hourly fee than a less experienced attorney.
The higher fee may be justified because the more experienced attorney can do the work in less time and with a greater likelihood of success. An hourly fee will vary based on the nature of the case, with attorneys who practice in certain fields being paid more than attorneys in other fields. In hourly fee cases, the attorney is generally entitled to payment regardless of the outcome of the case.
It is common for law firms to charge different hourly rates for various attorneys or support staff working on the same case, with the greater part of the work being done by less experienced personnel under oversight of a more experienced attorney. My experience is that most attorneys on the Western Slope charge between $150 and $350 per hour and between $75 and $115 per hour for support staff.
> Contingency Fees – A contingency fee arrangement is one where the attorney takes an agreed percentage of any amounts recovered in the case as compensation for the attorney's services. Under this arrangement, the attorney is typically not paid unless the attorney recovers for the client through settlement or collecting a judgment. Contingency fee arrangements are common in personal injury cases. A typical contingency fee is 1/3 of the gross recovery, but higher and lower fees are also common. Contingency fee arrangements are not allowed in certain kinds of cases such as divorce and criminal defense.
> Flat Fees – A flat fee is simply an agreed fee for given work. Flat fees are most common in routine transactions such as simple bankruptcy filings where the attorney can gauge ahead of time how much work will be involved.
An attorney's fee is always a matter of negotiation with the client. Attorneys should be able to explain to potential clients different possible fee arrangements, put the details in writing, and scrupulously account for all charges during the case. It is difficult for attorneys to estimate how much work will be involved in certain matters, particularly litigation, but they should be able to give a ballpark range.
Attorneys distinguish between fees and costs. "Fees" are payments directly for legal services, such as the hourly fees paid to an attorney. "Costs" are all other expenses of the case, such as court filing fees. In most cases, attorneys will expect clients to pay costs in addition to fees. Particularly in contingency cases, attorneys sometimes pay the costs initially for the client; however, they are then deducted from the client's share of any recovery. Attorneys often ask clients to pay a "retainer," which is an advance deposit for costs and fees to be incurred in the case. The attorney holds the retainer in a special trust account and then deducts charges as they accrue.
In brief, the cost for an attorney is a matter of negotiation based on the nature of the case and the experience of the attorney. We've all heard the jokes about how much attorneys charge, but a good attorney leaves a client thinking it was a fair deal.

Thanks to MindLoveMisery's Menagerie for hosting this week's music prompt based off of Lady A's new song "You Look Good."
Credit: http://www.loveisalanguage.com
Lady Antebellum – "You Look Good"
You are the fire in my veins in this old,
Noisy bar, my movement, steps foretold,
Before I ever meet you face to face,
We move 'round each other tightly embraced.
Dance floor our Haven sparks zing and our lips —
Meet and you moan, no we're hip to hip.
Baby you look good all day and all night.
Spinning me on the dance floor with such ease,
Tonight is a night I feel, we'll both be pleased.
Holding me so close we brush against lust,
Back and forth, taking me home, a must!
Cab is slow, we want to be alone,
With each other and love's unquiet love moans.
Not too fast, just take it nice and slow,
The sunlight reigns but we will not let go.
Baby you look good all day and all night.
Will you call? The waiting game is played,
Three nights and I'm aching, you remain,
First in my thoughts so finally I call.
You're not there, then you are, my problem solved.
How about a repeat, how 'bout a lifetime?
Let's be us, baby yours and just mine.
Baby you look good all day and all night.

Funeral celebrates life of Motown figure Maxine Powell
DETROIT -- It was a dignified, refined occasion worthy of the Maxine Powell name.
The late Detroit personal development instructor and life coach, best known for her work with Motown Records, was memorialized on Friday during a two-hour funeral at Hartford Memorial Baptist Church.
"She would have loved it," the Supremes' Mary Wilson said afterward. "She would have been very proud."
Wilson, the Velvelettes' Cal Street and Motown Museum chairman Robin Terry were among the 100-plus on hand for a service overseen by the Rev. Charles C. Adams, with a eulogy given by his father and Powell's pastor, the Rev. Charles G. Adams.
Also on hand were Motown arranger Paul Riser, singer Caroline Crawford and members of the Contours. Crawford (Precious Lord) and Street (His Eye Is on the Sparrow) performed during the service and the recessional (Going Up Yonder).
Friends fondly remembered Powell as a woman who lived the class and elegance she taught for a living, hailing her as a figure who helped shape Motown's public image — and thus, the image of black America writ large. Among her private students was future Miss USA Carole Gist.
They also emphasized that the elderly Powell never stopped teaching, still instructing young women on the proper way to sit, speak and exit cars. Even ahead of her death Monday at Southfield's Providence Hospital, Powell, 98, was distributing her business cards to hospital personnel.
The cause of Powell's death was not disclosed, but close friend Beverly Bantom said Powell had been in steadily declining health since a fall on May 31. Powell slipped into a coma Saturday at the hospital.
In a prayer Friday, the Rev. Charles C. Adams said God had used Powell "to smooth out the rough edges in your sons and daughters."
Diana Ross' youngest sister, Rita Ross, read a public statement issued by her famous sibling, noting that "the wisdom she shared with me and all of the young artists at Motown will never be forgotten." Terry relayed thoughts from her great-uncle and Motown founder, Berry Gordy Jr.
A resolution from Detroit City Council, presented by councilwoman Brenda Jones, celebrated Powell as "a pioneer of black enterprise in Detroit" for her modeling and finishing-school endeavors. The City Council also celebrated Powell's activism in helping to racially integrate the modeling rosters at Detroit auto shows.
Wilson recounted Powell's work with the teenage Supremes, whose stage moves and self-confidence she helped refine.
"We all were touched by this woman's knowledge of the gifts that God gave us," said Wilson.
WDIV-TV (Channel 4) reporter Paula Tutman had attendees chuckling with her tale of Powell's final TV interview, conducted by Tutman after the infamous Miley Cyrus twerking performance at August's MTV Video Music Awards. Tutman said Powell was dismayed by the young pop star's "booty" display and sternly advised Cyrus to mind herself.
Beverly Bantom, a close friend who was frequently at Powell's side in recent years, spoke of her friend's upbeat spirit through her final days, including her signature voice mail greeting: "Hello, beautiful person!"
Also in attendance were representatives of local organizations that boasted Powell's membership, including the Detroit Lions Club and the Red Hat Society, a women's auxiliary whose members served as flower bearers for the day.
Burial followed at Detroit's Woodlawn Cemetery, with a reception scheduled afterward at the Roostertail Club — an event planned by Powell herself, in one final salute to fine living.

Nov. 7, 2005
HEAD COACH Jerry Smith:
Opening Remarks:
"After two years of getting some really tough deals from the NCAA in the selection process I'm happy to look at a selection process that looks like a good one for us. I'm very happy with our seed and very happy that we're hosting this weekend. Obviously the games will be very tough. All three teams that will be here this weekend we faced in the regular season; Fresno State, Saint Louis, and Stanford. We lost our match to Stanford at their place this year. We'll get ready for Fresno State, look back on the game film and do everything we can to prepare ourselves for that match. Hopefully we'll have a good week of training, and that's all you can ask for going into the tournament. It's always a mistake to look too far ahead so we won't be looking past this Fresno State team. We're hoping for a good result on Friday and we're very happy that we're hosting and don't have to travel this opening weekend."
On any concerns about possibly having to travel for the first two rounds:
"Absolutely we were concerned about that. We had two extremely strong finishes in the last two years. Last year we ran off 10 straight wins to finish the year and ended up with the 16th seed. So, I think that you don't really know what to expect, and with regard to home-and-away on the first weekend it's not all about seeding, as you saw. Some of the top seeds, including Portland, probably the toughest team we faced all year, is on the road and in Nebraska of all places. Often times it is hard to know whether your wins and losses and how you finish the season are going to necessarily translate into hosting or not hosting or where you are seeded in the NCAA Tournament."
On any danger of a letdown with the favorable draw:
"I don't think we have a danger of not being prepared or not being motivated since we didn't get any raw deal. For 17 years in a row we've gone to the NCAA Tournament and for ten years in a row we've gone to the quarterfinals, we're the only Division I team in the country that's gone to at least the quarterfinals 10 years in a row. In many of those years we had good seeds and some of those years we didn't have good seeds. Our motivation is to be the best team we can be, regardless of the seed and we have a culture and standards in our program which every player feels some motivation to live up to, and this team is no different. This team is very talented and very capable, as we showed particularly in our win over Notre Dame this year, a great team. I think what might serve as motivation for our team, since it appears we did not get a bad deal in terms of the seeding process, is our last four games. I think our team would loveto have another shot at a team like Portland, or Pepperdine. I think our motivation is to get into the NCAA Tournament and prove that we're more like the team that beat Notre Dame this year rather than the team that lost this past Saturday at Pepperdine."
On where this year's team stacks up in comparison to past Santa Clara teams:
"This team's a lot like the 2001 team that we had, which won the national championship, to be honest with you. Nothing's come easy for this team. We've had some teams here that had undefeated seasons and No. 1 rankings and things came easy. In 2001, we had a lot of adversity, a lot of injuries and we played no game in the NCAA Tournament that was comfortable for us. Even if we'd get a 2-0 lead the other team would tie it upand we'd have to win it in overtime, as we did in the national semifinal against Florida. So this team is, by virtue of a tough schedule and by the character of the team, gritty, and I think we're anxious to prove our grittiness in the NCAA Tournament. And that's what it takes. Last year in the first round we played Cal and had to come from behind to win the game. In the second round we played Stanford and had to go to a second overtime to win the game. Then we had to go to North Carolina against all the odds and win. So this program has had a lot of gritty performances, and this team has that ability to win the tight games in the NCAA Tournament, that's always required once you get to this part of the season."
On the possibility of facing Stanford again in the second round:
"Obviously I'm going to preface anything I say about Stanford with we have a dangerous Fresno State team on Friday. We have to be able to win our game Friday, and Stanford's going to have to win their game against Saint Louis. If those two teams should win their games, the game should be a dogfight, it's a great rivalry we have with Stanford, they're always tight matches and we lost to Stanford this year. When we lose to a team in the regular season, we hope that we get another shot at them in the NCAA Tournament. If we're fortunate enough to beat Fresno State and they are fortunate enough to beat Saint Louis, I think our team will look forward to matching up to a team that defeated us in the regular season. Stanford is a very good team, should we meet them, but our focus Monday through Thursday will be on the Fresno State team."
On the team's confidence level:
"Even though we lost on Saturday to Pepperdine on Saturday, our team played very well. It wasn't like we were on our heels, we played confidently, maybe even too confidently. We were so confident going forward that we kind of got lulled into making a critical mistake on the back of the team. Even in our Portland game, a 3-1 loss, I think our team played them pretty evenly, the difference in the game being Sinclair. In our Stanford game, it's not like we didn't play with confidence, we just didn't do enough to iwn the game. We could lose to Fresno State on Friday and be out in the first round, but it won't be for a lack of confidence."
On the strength of the team's defense going into the tournament:
"One of the big differences between this year and last year is that we're a very solid defensive team this year, and that always gives a coach confidence going into the NCAA Tournament. No matter what sport it is, you have to be a solid defensive team to go far. Our attacking side is the side that has struggled recently, but defensively we've been pretty solid. Our back line has been solid for us and we have Marian, Micaela [Esquivel] and Cat [Sigler] returning from last year's back line, Lauren, who has been at a couple different positions for our team, and now Dani Potts, you say someone's a freshman in August, in November you're looked at as a freshman but Dani's 20 games into her college career and really no longer a freshman.I'm really confident that whomever we have out there on our back line will put in a solid performance.
DEFENDER Marian Dalmy:
Opening Remarks:
"This is an awesome selection, we've worked so hard to get here. This is what we look forward to every season so I know the whole team's excited and we're ready and we'll take each games as it comes and go from there."
Reaction to Santa Clara's bracket and seeding:
"Coming in here my outlook was, `Say we're going to get Cal again, Stanford again and North Carolina again,' so I just think that you assume the worst and you can only get better from there."
On Fresno State:
"They are a blue-collar, hard-working team. They go after everything, when you look at it they are the underdog, they have nothing to lose, so they're just aggressive and hard-working."
On the team's confidence level:
"I don't think we ever lose confidence in each other. We have to learn through our mistakes and when we lose we have to look at what we as a team need to do better. I know I'm confident in my team, and we're all confident in everything that we're looking to accomplish in this tournament."
FORWARD Tina Estrada:
Opening Remarks:
"I'm very happy with the selection this year, especially because past years wasn't too good for us. But the first two rounds, playing here is great, I think it's an advantage for us and I'm looking forward to our game against Fresno."
On being concerned about where the Broncos would be seeded:
"I was definitely concerned, especially just how the process has worked in the two years I've been here. I think all of us were scared that we were going to get a lower seed than we did, but I'm happy about where we're at right now."
On the first meeting with Fresno State:
"They are a very hard-working team, I think they're going to come out extra strong because they don't have anything to lose and they are probably just as excited that they have another opportunity at us just like we want to have another opportunity against Stanford. They're just going to come out strong and hard and give it their all."
On the team's confidence level:
"I think we're all very confident with each other. A lot of the ups and downs during the season have just made us stronger and we're at the point now where we can take anything ahead of us. We believe in each other and we have the capability of going far in this tournament."
On the versatility of the attack:
"Now our teamwork is awesome, I think we're creating a lot and working well together. It's good that different people can step up at different times and I think that's what is important and will be to our advantage in the tournament."
GOALKEEPER Julie Ryder:
Opening Remarks:
"I'm very happy with the selection. I'm happy that we could get the opportunity to play the teams we've been given to play. We feel good about our team and hopefully we'll be able to step it up and take it to everybody."
Reaction to Santa Clara's bracket:
"Last year we were seeded 16th, so going into today people were all worried about stuff, so we figured it probably wasn't going to be much than last year, so we're pretty excited about our position this year."
On Fresno State:
"I think it's safe to say that anytime you play somebody for the second time during the season, especially in the NCAA Tournament, they're not going to be the same team you played earlier. We have to prepare ourselves to win on Friday."
On the team's confidence level:
"I'm very confident that everybody's going to bring what they have and I'm glad that our team's seen the ups and downs of the season and the team recovered. I feel really good about everybody on the team right now."
On the defense's solid play:
"Our back line, we really work as a unit. When we do get shutouts it really is a team effort because a lot of my position is telling the defense where to go and how to prevent chances from actually occurring so I think we really work well as a team back there."

The following is is a posting from the Official Gmail News Blog:
Posted by Chad Yoshikawa, Software Engineer
Gmail chat status (those green, orange, and red bubbles) indicates if your friends are online or not. But sometimes my buddies appear green when they're not really "online online" — they just have chat open on their Android phones.
Turn on Green Robot, a new experiment in Gmail Labs, and you'll see a robot icon next to people who are currently using Android phones. In the case below, Shirley is online with Android, Nicolle R. is using regular Gmail chat, and Chris I. is currently away but also on Android. Slatka is not an angry robot — she's online with Android but currently busy.
These icons can help you decide whether to tailor your conversation to the type of device that your chat buddy is using. For example, when you know the guy on the other end is using his Android phone, you may decide to send shorter, more concise chat messages.
When your chat buddies log into Gmail, their presence icons will revert to the traditional red, green, and orange status bubbles. In addition, if your chat buddy happens to be logged into both Gmail and Android chat then the traditional Gmail status icons will be shown. Try it out and let us know what you think.

The U.S. House Agriculture Committee has approved H.R. 6083, the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2012 (FARRM), by a vote of 35-11. The Alabama Peanut Producers Association (APPA) supported the bill and representatives say they are extremely pleased with the outcome.
"The overwhelming bipartisan vote in support of this bill is indicative of Committee leadership that was inclusive throughout the process" said APPA president Carl Sanders. "The legislation provides a safety for peanut producers and assures that producers have more control over decisions related to U.S. Department of Agriculture programs than in previous farm bills."
Sanders said farmers, like himself, may be busy in their fields but are always interested in what is going on in Washington and the legislation that can affect their livelihood. "Right now we (peanut farmers) are extremely busy in our fields preparing for this year's harvest. It's important to know farmers' views and opinions are heard in Washington. I believe our peanut growers will be pleased with the work APPA is doing to speak on their behalf."
In response to the approval of the bill, Chairman Lucas stated, "We marked an important step forward in the development of the next farm bill. I appreciate the efforts of my colleagues and the bipartisan nature in which this legislation was written and approved. This is a balanced, reform-minded, fiscally responsible bill that underscores our commitment to production agriculture and rural America, achieves real savings, and improves program efficiency."
Agreeing with the Chairman, and recognizing the work still to be done, Ranking Member Peterson commented, "I'm pleased this markup is behind us and we can continue to move the process forward. The current farm bill expires on September 30 and there only 13 legislative days before the August recess. Simply put, the House leadership needs to bring the farm bill to the floor for a vote. We should not jeopardize the health of our rural economies which, by and large, have remained strong the last few years. Our nation's farmers and ranchers need the certainty of a new five year farm bill and they need it before the current farm bill ends."
The bill has not been scheduled to date for floor consideration in the U.S. House of Representatives.

DoFinance is a P2P lending platform that allows everyone to become an investor just by following these four easy steps:
Depending on your chosen investment plan, you can earn up to 11% annual return.
You can access your money at any time. If you decide to withdraw the invested money before the due date, you can receive your money starting from 14 days after your request with accumulated interest, depending on your chosen investment plan.
DoFinance offers a BuyBack guarantee for all loans. If the borrower is late with their loan repayment, the loan originator immediately pays you back the whole principal and accrued amount of interest.
DoFinance is an easy to use platform. You can choose your preferred Auto Invest programme or select investments manually from the listed loans. You can constantly monitor your investments and accumulated interest rates.
You must be at least 18 years old, have a valid e-mail address, valid documents (passport or identification card) and bank account within the European Union, Switzerland or any other country of the EEA, which is not included in the lists of high risk and non-cooperative jurisdictions or is not subject of international sanctions. For complete registration you will have to provide a national identification card (scanned or photographed both sides) or passport (scanned or photographed).
All you need to set up an investor's account is valid documents and a personal bank account in European Union, Switzerland or any other country of the EEZ, which is not included in the lists of high risk and non-cooperative jurisdictions or is not subject of international sanctions. Completing the setup involves adding funds to your investor`s account by transferring funds from your private bank account. Detailed information on how to add funds will be sent to you by e-mail after registration, or you can find payment details in your DoFinance account under Summary / Add more funds.
All investments at DoFinance are in euro. Therefore, transfers in euro can be carried out hassle-free. But if you want to transfer other currencies to your investor's account, you can use a money transfer service. We suggest to use Transferwise, in order to reduce currency exchange risks + money transfer commissions.
There are 3 simple steps - register, add documents and add funds (starting from 10 euro). When you have added money in your investor's account, you can start investing. We recommend you to use some of DoFinance Auto Invest plans. The DoFinance automation tool creates an investment portfolio based on your preferred term, amount of money and interest rate. If you use the Manual Investment option, we suggest splitting your investment up into several loans, to diversify your portfolio.
There are no investment limits for individual investors. But in accordance with DoFinance Anti-money Laundering procedure, we will ask for some additional data to investors who will exceed 10 000 euro and 50 000 euro limits.
You can choose to invest in loans with a term ranging from 1 day up to 60 months.
Auto Invest is free of charge and is an easy-to-invest, easy-to-manage and automation tool for diversifying your investment portfolio. Auto Investing means that a person entrusts the distribution of the money invested and the same investment in the DoFinance system. We recommend using Auto Invest if you invest bigger amounts as the system automatically divides the sum by 10-20 EUR into investments and invests in various loans. Profit interest rates in Auto Invest programs are 5%, 7%, 9% and 11%. When your Auto Invest term is finished, you get your invested money and plus the interests back into your investor account. If you want to reinvest your money, you need to choose new Auto Invest plan, and your money will be automatically reinvested in different loans until your Auto Invest term will finished again.
A BuyBack guarantee is a guarantee issued by the loan originator to the investor for a particular loan. It confirms that the loan originator will repurchase the loan from investor if repayment of that particular loan is delayed. The BuyBack guarantee is applied for all loans in DoFinance system. It starts on the first day after the end date of the investment. We call it Instant BuyBack.
It depends on your selected investment plan. With Auto Invest it's possible to cancel all programs: 5% plan – you can receive your money 7 days after your request including accumulated interest. 7% plan – you can receive your money 30 days after your request with 5% interest or 60 days after your request including accumulated 7% interest. 9% and 11% plans – you can receive your earned interests each 30 days after investment (automatic monthly interest repayment) or principal amount 90 days after your request without interest. If your account is less than 10 Eur, then you must transfer the entire amount at a time. It is not possible to cancel investments that are made with the Manual Invest option.
DoFinance doesn't tax accrued interest therefore investor receives full amount. In addition regarding taxes – profits earned in DoFinance are tax object and by taking into account the legislation of the country where the investor is resident (for tax purpose perspective). Actions related with payment of taxes are on investor's responsibility. At the end of the year we do provide account statement specifying interest received.
In order to minimize the risks for investors Alfa Finance group has several security measures: * all loans on DoFinance are covered with BuyBack guarantee. This means that, if the borrower is late in repaying a loan, loan originator will immediately pay you back the whole principal and accrued amount of interest. * Alfa Finance group investments in risk assessment tools has brought potential risks to minimum. Moreover, the Alfa Finance Group grants short-term consumer loans which also gives certain stability in the risk equation. Compared to long-term loans, it allows foreseeing trends much better. It is as simple – if there is a borrower who doesn't pay back on time, we can easily prevent it from happening again. Thanks to that, we instantly see regularities, improve risk tools and score cards, therefore minimizing potential risks. * 10% of each loan amount invested by DoFinance investors remains in the balance sheet of the Alfa Finance Group

Perspective: Writing about Reading pp. 1-24
Dipping one toe gingerly into the ebook/ereader waters, here's the first of a two-part megaperspective on the nature of books, reading and writing. (Anticipate the snarkier second part in the May 2011 issue, barring surprises.)
Trends & Quick Takes pp. 24-27
More predictions, the gap between tools and talent, the cost of "free," and seven quicker takes.
The CD-ROM Project pp. 27-30
Six title CD-ROMs about political and cultural leadership--and, unfortunately, the message is right in the title: "Sometimes They Just Don't Work."
My Back Pages pp. 30-32
Only three of nine snarky little essays have anything to do with audiophilia--and in one case, that's stretching things.

A Tennessee Inn for Spring
Haven. Sanctuary. Refuge. These words give an idea of what awaits in a Southern country inn.
Located 35 minutes from Knoxville, Whitestone Country Inn feels as though it's a million miles from the hustle and flow of traffic, work, and worry. Secluded on 360 acres, the estate sits surrounded by a wildlife and waterfowl refuge on Watts Bar Lake.
"We call it a sanctuary for the soul," says owner Paul Cowell. It is a spot to relax, breathe, and just be. Twenty-two rooms in five structures feature pampering amenities, from steam showers, spa tubs, TV/DVD, fireplace, phone, and wireless Internet. And the beds, oh my. Specially made for the inn by a local company, the mattresses prove so addictive that Paul often receives orders from guests who want to take that rockaby baby-quality sleep home with them.
A small chapel plays host to 100 weddings a year, officiated by Paul, an interdenominational minister. Beautiful Belgian horses take guests on carriage rides. Hammocks swing lazily, tucked among the trees. Boats and canoes sit ready for guests to explore the lake. Dinner is served every night at 6:30, and Paul says the blessing. "People say it makes them feel at home," he says. And it truly does, or rather a wishful thinking version of what the ideal home could be.
aking up early at Whitestone is a must for one reason: the spectacular sunrise over Watts Bar Lake. A fireplace takes away the last of the early-morning chill, as does the home-cooked breakfast that awaits at the Farmhouse.
Paul says one of the best compliments about Whitestone came from a weary businessman. "He was sitting alone at dinner, watching the full moon over the lake, with mist hovering above. He said, 'It's magic out there. It's Brigadoon, isn't it?' "
Thankfully, it's not Brigadoon, the mythical Scottish town that, according to the musical, supposedly appears only every 100 years. Whitestone welcomes guests 365 days a year, and that's something to sing about.
More Information:

"All I Want For Christmas Is You" has officially been dethroned as the most-played holiday song of the season, and the new top tune isn't even that new.
According to PlayNetwork, which compiled a list of the top 20 seasonal songs that shoppers will hear over and over again this season, Mariah Carey's song has fallen into the No. 2 spot behind The Shins' 2012 cover of "Wonderful Christmastime."
Despite being one of our seasonal favorites since the early '90s, it's now been proven that Carey's holiday hit isn't invincible.
That's right. Carey has been beaten by a Paul McCartney cover...not even by McCartney himself. The original version does make the list, but at number 17.
Rounding out the top five songs shoppers will hear are Christina Aguilera's "Christmas Time" in third, Waitresses' "Christmas Wrapping" in fourth, and Jack Johnson's "Someday at Christmas" in fifth.

Icelandic Artist Embraces Canadian Landscape with Video Installation at the WAG
Icelandic Artist Embraces Canadian Landscape with Video Installation at the WAG
January 16, 2014–WINNIPEG: An experimental five projection video entitled The End–Rocky Mountains created by Icelandic artist and musician Ragnar Kjartansson will be shown at the WAG from January 18-April 20, 2014 with a free public opening Friday January 17, beginning at 7:00pm.
A self-described incurable romantic, Ragnar Kjartansson produced The End at the Banff Centre, in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. Against this sublime backdrop, Kjartansson and fellow Icelandic musician Davíð Þór Jónsson took a series of musical instruments out into the winter cold to jam out a song that hobbles along in fits and starts, filmed in temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius.
"The five sites this video projection was shot in are idyllic, arranged in such a way that they echo each other," says Stephen Borys Director & CEO of the Winnipeg Art Gallery. "I'm certain the audience will enjoy the bourbon swigging, Davy Crockett-clad outlaws, and the intoxicating, ambiguous folk-country music video they've created."
Wearing typically "frontier" attire, including fur hats and cowboy boots, the pair whimsically embrace the rugged Canadian landscape with a lighthearted yet sincere search for creative originality.
"This video conjures up age old conceptions of the artist as a romantic, the duo parodying notions of the Wild West and themes of Icelandic folklore," says Paul Butler, Curator of Contemporary Art at the Winnipeg Art Gallery. "I think Manitoba, being home to the largest Icelandic population outside of Iceland, is the perfect audience to present this to."
By combining his own personality with personas from cultural history, Kjartansson employs acting, repetition, and identity to blur the borders between life and art, reality, and fiction.
Members Opening • Fri, Jan 17, 11am–4pm, tour at noon
Public Opening • Free • Fri, Jan 17, 7–10pm
Looking North Family Sunday Program: Sunday, February 2, 1:30-4:00pm, $10 per family. Celebrate the Canadian North at the WAG! Discover and explore the traditions and art practices of artists from Winnipeg to the Arctic. Enjoy inspiring art workshops and games, immerse yourself in a fascinating multi-channeled film presentation from Iceland, and check out an exciting surprise rooftop installation (don't forget your parka!). It's fun for the whole family!
The End — Rocky Mountains is co-organized by the National Gallery of Canada and the WAG. It is part of NGC@WAG, a three-year collaborative partnership that features a series of exclusive exhibitions at the WAG drawn from the NGC's extensive art collection.
The Winnipeg Art Gallery is a cultural advocate for understanding and experiencing art and art-making, and their vital place in our lives, work and society. As the premiere art museum in Manitoba, the Winnipeg Art Gallery plays a vital role in the community—enriching, inspiring, and engaging people with the world of art.

thank you nice threat lots of info on everything
That is what I am shoting for.
Is LHS what you guys talking about ? Where to get that nice thick oil that looks like clear grease
If you are talking about differential fluid & shock oil yes.
You can get that on line (Ebay) or Local Hobby Store.
Would you go flip my truck back over??
i have never messed with anything like that befor, i am trying to figure out what you need another servo for? are you using the summit locking diffs?
REVO 3.3, shumacher fusion .21,TC4, ERBE
No Locking diffs that is why I went with the 700k diff fluid.
I am trying to figure out what you need another servo
This is why: Torque: 403 / 486 oz./in. (6.0v/7.4v)
stock servo are 125 oz/in each total of 250 oz/in.

oh ok, so you are using it for the steering, you are just getting the power for it from a better source. now i get it. i was trying to figure out what you might want another servo for. i thought maby you were hooking up another servo for somkind of cool option like smokescreen or an oil slick, that would be cool though. based on what i found you are incorrect, check out this link. it says never do what you are trying to do with getting power from both batteries, only get power from one

REVO 3.3, shumacher fusion .21,TC4, ERBE
What you are looking at is 2/6s batt = 12s / 44.4v, The BEC has a max of 25v or 2/3s.. What they are telling you is to not run it is series. In this case (12s) that in not what I am doing.. You can't put a 6s battery in a Revo anyway.
Would you go flip my truck back over??
ok, i did see that in there example they had 2 6S batts and you are using at most 2 3S batts. just was not sure and just wanted to make sure you saw that before you did it. wouldn't a smoke screen be cool as He!! though.
REVO 3.3, shumacher fusion .21,TC4, ERBE
I've done that harness mod. I simply took out the + and - wires and soldered them together and left only the signal going back to the receiver. It really is that simple
E-Revo Xerun 150A/Leopard 4282//MBX6-Te MMM/CC1518
Thank You BrianG..
It is that easy....
Would you go flip my truck back over??
Tonight drive shafts: I am going to use the stock Revo CV drive shafts 5451X. I should be useing the Summit CVD shafts with the LT rockers. The Summit shafts have 2 long & 2 short, this is for the Summit locking diff's. I had the LT rockers on my Revo & it would break a front drive shaft about every other run. Went back to the P2 rockers & I haven't broke a stock drive shaft in months. I have a new set of Traxxas wheel hubs & nut/s 5353X I'm going to use or the HPI 17mm hub & nut/s.
This newboobie question comes up, taking off the wheel hub & drive shaft. First unscrew & take the M4/15 set pin out of the drive shaft next to the differential (first pic). Then simply unscrew the hub pin 5189 (4x13mm), & take it out. Then remove the 17mm hub. If the stub axle doesn't want to slide thru the bearing, there is a bur on the stub axle hole. File or sand the bur off & then stub will slide thru the bearing.

I might have to buy the CVD's, we will see. I had a Summit at one time & I broke one of those too. I have a spare motor plate, I will see how much clearance there is, with the motor & the rear shock mount. I have trimed the shock mount already from the motor hitting it. Don't give up hope just yet of a double motor plate .
Would you go flip my truck back over??
Just wanted to show how the HPI 17mm hubs go on. First put the pin in the stub axle hole, then put the 17mm hub on. Make sure the pin is in the groove on the back of the hub. Then put on the wheel, next put on the nut. With both hub nut/s (Traxxas & HPI) they need to be tight. very tight. If the nut comes loose it can strip out the rim. Remember the Traxxas rims have the tooth groove. So the HPI hubs will not work with Traxxas rims, unless you put the tooth grooves in the hub.

Slipper Clutch:

Would you go flip my truck back over??
mod merge timed out......
Slipper clutch:
Pic will explain this better than I can. But here we go, see if I get all the names correct..
5351 Slipper pressure plate & hub
5352X Rebuild kit Slipper clutch disk, (3) friction pads, spring, 2x9,8mm pin, nylock nut.
The clutch disk goes on the pressure plate, I put four orange marks on the pressure plate.
On the right is the alum slipper pads, on the left I don't know what the material is. There are several different material & types of slipper pads. I have the alum pads on my Revo for over a year & I like them alot. So when the other pads wear out I will replace them with alum pads.
Assembly: start with putting the 2x9.8mm pin into the hole on the input shaft 3992. Then put on the pressure plate & line up the groove on the back of the plate with the pin. Next is the clutch disk, then the pads & hub. Finish up with the spring & nut. It can be hard to line all the pieces up at the same time. Especialy if the slipper pads want to keep falling off the hub.
If all goes well this is what it should look like. "How tight do I tighten the slipper?" There are several ways to set it but, The manual page #24 says adjust nut clockwise until the slipper clutch spring fully collapses (don't over tighten) then turn nut counterclockwise 1/4 to 1/2 turn. I have mine almost locked down. I would say it is about a 1/4 turn maybe.. As you can see in the pic you put an Allen wrench in the trans 3969 output shaft, & the wrench on the 4.0 nylock nut. Tight or loosen as needed.

Almost forgot the spur has to have the number of teeth side out. If you put it on backwards like I did the first time, the spur will rub on the gear cover.
Would you go flip my truck back over??
Wheelie bar:
Not much to it, take out the two screws, that hold the wing mount. Slide the wheelie bar mount over the wing mount, install the two supplied screws. The wheelie bar itself slides on the mount & locks into place.
=== Wheelie bar mounted
Would you go flip my truck back over??
Nice build! I've found with my Maxx that the optional aluminium wheelie bar wheels, do help with stability a lot. Don't know whether that was something you were planning.
And they look nice!
If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.
where did you get your bolts m4 .70x30 so I can order the two together, tower hobbies and my hobbies shop , liquid rc as the nut but not the bolts ..the only thing I can get socket head bolt and nut by 50 pack im up to over 25$ on ebayand I need a set of 2 or 3 only.
thank you
Tonight Gear mesh, I have the motor mount mod done, I am going to run the 775 first. Put a little blue Loctite on the pinion set screw. Make sure the set screw is on the flat of the shaft. I use to do the paper method of setting the gear mesh. This is what works for me now, I push the spur & pinion together until they touch, then pull the motor back just a little bit. I am looking for a little play between the two gears. Next rotate the spur to 90* & check the play again & @, 180*, & 270*. Spurs are not perfictly round. Take a little time to set the mesh.
Would you go flip my truck back over??
Radio: I went & bought a 2.4GHz Link Rx 2218x, & the three channel Link Radio model 2239. So I can run the micro servo on the trans (high ~ low).
1) bind the radio & Rx Page 14 & 15 in the manual
2) Program (calibrate) ESC EVX-2 page 16 manual (set throttle end points)
3) Program (calibrate) ESC MMM Addendum sheet (set throttle end points)
On most Rx's the black, brown or what ever is the darkest color wire goes out. The out edge of the Rx.
Channel one has two slots for the servo wires. In the pic there is only one pluged in because I went ahead & put on the Hitec HS7950th.
Channel two is for the ESC.
Channel three I am using it for the micro servo on the trans high ~ low.
Channel four & five are for the other micro servo's, (or a glitch buster) .

Just wondering why you machined the hpi hexes instead of modifying the wheels to fit over the hexes. I think I am going to dremel the tabs out of the wheels to fit on my Losi hexes. Shouldn't make the wheel weak, I hope! lol
You can, I just did want any more slop in the wheel, then what is all ready there.
Would you go flip my truck back over??
DIDN'T want any more slop. lol You might think about using the cut off wheel on your dremel & grind the HPI hubs, instead of the rim I think it would be easier. Put the hub in a vise & grind away.
Would you go flip my truck back over??
Well I have ran the truck several times, just with the 775. I did put the Hitec on for a few runs, & that servo can really run down a set of NiMh. So I went back to the stock servo's, & run times are back up. I have my Lipo's but I was waiting on the LVA's I ordered. They just came in & I have yet to use them. I need to read up again on, which side is the BEC side, & how to test for it. The LVA is real easy to use, I think I will be using them alot, just to do a quick check of voltage.
I need time to put the MMM & a 2200kv on...
Would you go flip my truck back over??
I was reading the other day in the Maxx forum, one member said he bought a Maxx because it looked like it has more ground clearance. Well both trucks are set on the inner holes, on the A Arm, & the Maxx has the Trenchers which are about the same height as the Canyon. I'm supose to run the middle hole with the LT rockers... alot of pics...
Would you go flip my truck back over??
Would you go flip my truck back over??
that looks extremely high!! did you also use the rod spacers in the rod ends?! that is what i like with the plastic axles... the steel cvds pop out or create other problems at that angle.
also does it stay there if you push it down? i guess not eh?
>> i was considering an emaxx body on the revo, now i see that it will look small.. doesnt fit nice the wheels i guess? what do you think? any other truck-style bodies i could use?
nice and solid ,I think I got m5 the will nut fit on the bolt ,,,,not on the motor month there I have a regular nut tight against the diff . I got m4 and m5 bolts & nuts coming like that modification
No rod spacers.. The drive shafts are doing quit well, so far. I have been running it in the inner hole. I did a bit of climbing & crawling today, truck ran well: High, Low. The 700k diff fluid did't live up to what I was hoping, It is ok, but.......
The springs will lift it back to ride height, & I don't have very much preload on the shocks.
Truck bodys: ( I can never find what I am looking for with the search button) I have seen a thread but can I find NO. There are several different bodies that can be used..
Would you go flip my truck back over??
I have been taking this truck out every night after work (SumRevo). One I don't have to wait to charge the batts (NiMh) & my Revo gave up it's gost. Couple broken A Arms, & a bearing went out on the trans output shaft. Some other bearing, & it just needs a good service, I was wanting to wait till winter. No such luck..
SumRevo has been running well, like in the last post the 700K diff fluid, still diffs more than I'm wanting it to. I have been running Trenchers & they are a good tire. I have yet to break or have any prob with the (Revo) drive shafts & the LT Rockers ~ inner hole. If I was running a BL motor then I know I will be breaking drive shafts right & left, been there done that..
Revo: I have had some time to play with the alum shock caps & rod ends. The question was to drill or not to drill the breather hole in the shock cap. Well I did drill & not one but two in the top of the cap, one on each side. I couldn't get myself to drill thru the threads on the side of the cap, so I put them in the top. I drilled two smaller holes instead of one bigger hole. Hoping to help keep the dirt out. When I cycle the shock I can hear the air being pushed in & out by the blatter. Drill size is .037, I cheated & put the drill bit in a hand drill & put that in my cordless drill. Did that make any sence? I only drilled my fingure once. Right after I told myself not to hold the cap like that. I am using 80 wt shock fluid, & went with the Summit springs double yellow front & orange rear.
I am going to call them spacers, cus i don't know what else to call them. The rod ends come with two spacers for each end. I am assuming they go one on top & one one the bottom, of the rod end.. Of coarse I lost one it fell out of the package. Might have to make one on the lathe at work.
Would you go flip my truck back over??
My Revo clean-up.
Finally made a replacement spacer out of stainless steel for the shock rod end.
Diff's have been reshimed, cleaned 700k rear ~ 120k front.
Springs Summit double Yellow front ~ double Orange rear.
80 wt shock fluid P2 rockers, rods set to the outer hole.
Summit A Arms extended, stock knuckles
MMM & 2200 kv still running 21 pinion & 54 spur on 2/2s
Did the motor mount mod
My latest painted body
I noticed a couple of things when I was taking it apart. First was both front rocker post were bent. Next was that the shock springs were rubbing on the body. So I found some washers with a .430 OD & drilled it out to .234 or 15/64, thickness is .050. I am using them to space up the rockers to get the shock spring to stop rubbing on the chassis.

Your Revo looks great. Really like the paint job and the wheels.

Thanks charging my batteries now, go break it in...
Would you go flip my truck back over??
What are your thoughts on the spring rates now that you have bashed them abit?
Double Orange 5.4 is what you settled on Correct?
Thanks in advance, I'm looking for a suspension change.
Old set-up Springs Silver front ~ Blue rear. 80 wt shock fluid..
New set-up Springs Summit double Yellow front ~ double Orange rear. 80 wt shock fluid..
Went for a easy run, everything looked & sounded good. Few small jumps nothing big, just an easy run. Went to blow it off & clean it up & the shock caps are leaking (all four).
If you remember I took the blatters out of the stock caps & put them in the alum caps. I drilled two small breather holes in the top of the cap. I lost a little less than half the fluid. It looked liked the fluid was coming out of the threads of the cap.. So I took the caps off & measured them to the stock caps. Everything is right on. I am thinking I need to make the breather holes just a little bigger. If the air is not coming out of the breather holes fast enough, so it is pushing the shock fluid out of the threads of the cap??? I didn't want to drill the hole in the side like the stock cap, because of the threads on the inside of the cap. Also if I missed the placement it might leak. (hahaha)
Any ideas or suggestions.. thanks...
Would you go flip my truck back over??
I'm not really sure what to suggest- sounds like the bladders aren't sealing properly when you screw down the shock caps; never had a leaky shock-cap problem before so I don't have any experience of fixing them like that..
Keeping the Mods busy is my specialty...
Enjoying this thread, thanks for sharing, and really nice job on your truck!
In regards to this shock thing, that sounds identical to what happened on my MERV shocks. I had bought HR aluminum shock caps. They had holes pre-drilled in the tops. What happened is, after the air is expelled, there is still huge pressure from the fluid itself which would blow out this top hole. At first I did not realize, and rebuilt the shocks but after it happened again, I really took a closer look and noticed the tiniest little hole in each of the bladders, almost missed it. Anyway, maybe I could have soldered the hole in the cap closed, but did not use them anymore, went back to stock.
Thanks for the replys... Humm well that gives me a few more things to look at. Didn't think there would be a hole in the bladder. The leak is coming out the threads of the cap. Not out the breather hole, I drilled in the top of the cap. IDK yet
Would you go flip my truck back over??
so how she going now?
like the build
