One thing I have realized is that what I believe is the afterlife is right here. I don't think everyone floats up miles to heaven. I do believe in God, the after life and some sort of nirvana ( I hope)
I believe though that other dimension, heaven is right here, within a few feet of us.
I saw my sister in law walk through a doorway only a few feet over my head.
I don't think people go to another "place" per se as in a far away destination, its another dimension and we walk around in it every day and don't realize it unless you have a higher level of conciousness.
My pastor once described all this as cracks, a crack here and there that we slip in and out of. It kind of reminds me of the stephen king book the talisman where you could slip in and out of dimensions and lives within these cracks in the universe.
Doak, congratulations on your sobriety, truly I mean that. It takes alot of strength for people to live a life of sobriety and I pray you always keep that strength.
I believe that your father is very proud of you and you probably had him worried before you were sober.
Also, maybe how we live and behave is connected to our loved ones and maybe we give them some sort of energy and maybe it helps them communicate better if we have good energy.
I have no idea, just speculating on how it all works, which we probably will never know in our lifetime.
I do understand what you mean by a parallel world, that is what I was trying to describe in this post as well. I do believe that there is another whole dimension right within where we live and work everyday. I do feel it as well.
Brian I think you are right, it happens more often that people realize you just have to be open to it.
I live in a house built in 1768, there is alot of history here.
Long story short, we have all seen spirits here. You will walk into a room and just see someone standing there and they disappear.
My 5 year old daughter has always talked about the little girl that lives in this house and wants to play with her, she tells me that when she is downstairs she will hear the girl call her name and ask her to come upstairs to play.
It scares my daughter but I try to comfort her and explain it all away.
Well there was a little girl that died here many years ago. The town historian is my next door neighbor and he has all the records and even has a picture of this little girl, he gave me a copy recently and I don't know what to do with it so I put it in a draw, I know he thought he was just sharing information.
When we first moved here 15 years ago my daughter who is 19 now was only 4 years old and she talked about how she was mad at me for moving us in with another family.
SHe said that she was mad at me because I told her how we were getting our own house and did not have to rent an apartment anymore and she said I lied to her.
So when I asked her to explain she said that we were living with other people, she described and old man an old woman and a black man who wore short pants and didn't have any shoes.
She saw these people as plain as day.
My son who was only 2 years old at the time use to sneak into the attic and talk to someone there.
I would find him in there saying so what are you doing now? what do you want to do? stuff like that.
One day he was eating his breakfast and he turned to yell over his shoulder, "I'm coming and he jumped off the chair and ran upstairs to the attic.
I had put a lock on it because of him sneaking in there and he cried and banged on that door.
It scared the blank out of me, let me tell ya.
I had a yard sale one day a couple of summers back and a woman came up to me and said that she saw a woman in my upstairs window.
I looked and didn't see anyone and I told her thats my son's room there is no woman there.
She said yes there is and she looks upset. I still didn't see her until I realized what she was really trying to say.
She asked if she could go in my house for a few minutes, I took her inside and she said that she saw a little girl.
I had told her nothing at all about my house or any other spirits that anyone else had seen.
She said the little girl is lonely and that she goes into whatever room I am in.
It was over 90 degrees that day and the hair on this woman's arms were standing on end.
She started explaining all these other spirits that she saw, she said there are so many here.
He son came into find her and she said do you see anyone here and he said there is a guy and a woman in the bedroom there, which was just off of the room we were in.
I guess alot of people can see things, especially children who are more open with their spirits.

doak, i think some people are naturally more sensitive to the spiritual world. in fact, scripture, legend, and mythology, all tell us that man used to communicate openly with spirits/god/etc. perhaps we lost our connection when we decided to be "civilized"....or when we turned away from God and substitute religion, giving the responsibility for our spiritual health over to the/a church (whichever one you choose :-) )

Some people are more in tune with the spirit world because they take the time to go there and observe and participate even.
Its hard enough keeping up with things going on in this world to involve yourself with another!
Natalie, interesting things going on over at your place.

You know doak, I was just thinking about what you said about the other dimension and I remembered something that happened to me a year or two ago.
One night my husband called home from work to check in on us and I asked him to bring home a case of water and my son asked him to bring home a can of soda for him.
We said our goodbyes and hung up.
I was reading in bed a little while later when I heard him come in the house and drop something loudly on the floor which I thought was a toolbox and then realized it had to be the case of water.
His keys were jangling very loudly and I wondered where he got so many keys and then thought maybe his boss gave them to him.
Then I heard him talking to my son and they were being very loud and thought to myself how they were going to wake up the children.
So I hear him go to the closet outside by bedroom door to change out of his uniform like he always does and I lay down thinking he would be in within a couple of minutes and I waited.
I ended up falling asleep and when I woke up he was not in bed.
I got up to see if he was watching tv and he wasn't there, he wasn't anywhere. I looked out in the driveway and the car wasn't there.
I went upstairs to ask my son where his father went because it was so unlike him, he is not the type to go out anywhere and my son says that he hadn't seen him yet.
My son tells me that he heard his dad come in and drop something on the floor and he heard me and his dad talking :? He said that we were being loud and when he came down to get his soda from his dad that no one was there.
He said the car was gone so he thought I sent him back to the store for something.
He also heard the loud keys jangling.
When I told him that I never saw his father much less talked to him he was shocked and swore he heard us talking.
I told him that I heard him and his father talking and he said he saw him either.
So both of us heard my husband come in the house, with loud keys jangling, drop something down on the floor loudly and heard a loud boisterous conversation going on and we both thought it was the other one talking to him.
I called my husband to see where he was and he says that he is driving home from work right then and would be home in a half hour or so :?
Yikes. So I spill the whole story to him and he doesn't even know what to say. He tells me to check the door to see if its locked and it was, it also had the hook latch on the top of the door that we keep on so the younger children don't go out near the busy street.
So someone would have had to let him in anyway, he would have been locked out.
So who came in like they were getting home from work, going through the whole motions of returning home from a hard days work?
Its like someone else lives and works in the same place as us but its a seperate dimension, like we lead parallel lives.
I know it sounds bizarre but it really happened to me and I don't know how to make sense of it all.
My house use to be a stage coach stop that ran from here to Boston, it was also a farm and a shoe factory.
The shoe factory is now my next door neighbor's house and they said they hear someone come up the steps to the bedroom every night like clockwork.
There is alot of history here and maybe some energy gets trapped or something, I don't know.
I had never previously given any of this type of thing any thought but since these things have happened more and more here I have been trying to make sense of it.
I consider myself to be a somewhat sane person and not prone to delusions but I do know what I hear and what I see.
Someone told me that things happen more in an old house when you disturb something there.
I just unearthed a well in the backyard 2 days ago that had been buried, the masonry work was pretty impressive and I figure I will have the top of the well built up nicely by a mason, my neighbor who is the town historian saw us and came over.
He said oh you finally found the old well, very good. He said ya know the little girl and her grandfather that died here died from drinking bad well water from that well.... :?

I just saw the replies that came in while I was typing. Kathy I think you are right with your observation.
Jp and Keith, I have a friend who will not be alone in my house, will not babysit because she is scared. Her husband stayed here while her and I ran down to the corner store one night to buy catfood and when we came back he was standing there with his coat on and said they had to leave right away.
He said he saw and heard ghosts or something and he literally bolted to his car, now that scared her so she feels the same way.
I know that when you come home sometimes here you can hear alot of voices, sometimes I think I left the tv on and when I go into the living room to shut it off its not even on.
It sounds like someone is having a get together that you walk in on.
It happened just last night, my husband was laying in bed and I came in and just as I started to climb in we both heard voices and he said did someone just turn the tv on? I said no everyone is in bed but I will check, well of course there was no tv or radio or anything on and the voices just stopped.
The first time this happened to me was a week or so after I moved in and it scared me so bad I ran to my car and drove to my parents' house.
I have gotten use to it now. The only other time it scared me was a few years ago when I was home alone with the kids and I thought someone broke in.
My husband had gone to the supermarket, it was pouring rain and I was pregnant with my 6th child so I was hanging out on the couch reading.
I heard what I thought was 2 men talking outside the window and I ran into the other room to check my toddlers who fell asleep on my bed. I stayed in there with them while I listened and I thought the voices were in my kitchen.
I picked up my cell phone to call 911 and the phone was dead even though I thought I had a full charge.
I am now in full panic mode so I am hiding behind the door listening, I could hear their voices but did not know what they were saying.
After a few minutes I didn't hear them and I snuck to the next room to get the house phone and I looked around and didn't see anyone. I made a dash for the phone just as it rang and it was my husband calling to ask if I needed anything else at the store and I am hysterical telling him I thought someone was in the house and while I was telling him this the phone died.
I frantically tried to call out but I couldn't get a dial tone.
I still did not see anyone and the back door was in my full view and I didn't see anyone leave.
My husband came barreling in scared to death because I was crying and yelling on the phone and then he got disconnected.
Long story short, no one broke in and the voices I heard were probably the ones I always heard but the phone thing scared me out of my wits.
When we checked the phones afterwards both of the worked fine.
A few nights later when I was laying in bed the house phone rang, it was like 2 am and I looked at the caller id and it said the call was from my cell phone.
I thought, what the heck, did I lose my cell phone and someone found it?
I answer it and no one is on the other end.
I get up and grab my pocket book from a chair in the dining room where I left it and sure enough my cell phone was in my bag.
I know you guys think I am crazy by now, but I will tell you one more thing.
My house is very old and the basement is musty with stone walls and a dirt floor.
Its not a very pleasant place so I don't use it for anything but storing paint cans.
When we moved in we cleaned it all out and raked out the dirt floor.
We had a new hot water heater and a furnace installed in the past couple of years and we have been down there for a few things like that.
My husband went downstairs to change the filter on the furnace a short while back and came up with this bewildered look on his face and tells me that he just found a headstone down there.
I'm thinking what is he talking about if there was a headstone down there we would have seen it by now.
He makes me go down there and sure enough there is a headstone laying against the wall next to the furnace.
Now we sure would have seen that by now, especially next to the furnace.
It was a plain headstone, very old and the think oval shaped ones.
It had some think cracks in it but otherwise intact. It did not have anything carved into it that we could see.
I have no idea how it got there and why it got there. I do know that it wasn't there before and what it means now that we found it.
I don't know if someone is trying to tell us something but it does scare me. I don't know what to do with it so it stays there.

Natalie I do think your crazy, but not for the reasons you think, for staying!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :shock: There is no way I would still step foot in that house after everything you have experienced. The part about the phone sounded like the plot of a good horror movie no way could I sleep at night.
My Mother saw ghosts when she was younger (20'S) when she moved from her old family home to go to college she quit seeing them. I believe it is connected to houses and thank my lucky stars I have never been in one of them.

Hey Natalie, got to ask, what's halloween like at your house? I guess just like any other day huh? ;)
What an interesting house you have. I don't think I would be scared except for the break in stuff. My first inkling would be to try and help these lost souls, if that's what they are.
Have you ever asked them what it is that they want or need?
I saw this movie the other day with Kevin Bacon, not a brand new movie but it was showing, very interesting, called Stir Of Echoes
Have you seen it before Natalie? After reading this post I wonder if there are spirits with closure issues going on in your house.
Your stories are very fascinating.

Jp, I do think there has to be some sort of unfinished business or something here and maybe its related to the headstone, not sure.
The woman that saw the spirits here that day said the old woman was very sad, she didn't say why but she said she could come back some day and try to talk to them.
I want her to and at the same time I wonder if we will stir things up even more.
Just recently I e-mailed a paranormal investigator and explained everything in the e-mail and when I tried to send it it kept freezing up and then it just go weird.
I do know a guy who just started working with a paranormal investigator and he said they could come out this spring and see if they can pick up any voices on the machines and stuff like that.
I told him I just want to know if they want something or if they need me to do something for them.
I haven't really tried to talk to them, except when stuff goes missing ( I know this sounds crazy) but I will say I really want my keys back or whatever is gone missing and if you leave the room and come back a minute later the keys will be right there where you just were.
I did see that movie you are talking about a few years ago, creepy huh? But it does show how spirits will contact you about stuff.
I know it does sound nuts like keith says to stay here but I really do love my home and I don't usually get too scared except like something like the whole phone thing happens.
Otherwise you sort of get use to it. I had an electrician do some work here before and he worked a regular day job for his company and did this job on the side so he did it at night after work. I rented a house a couple of doors down while the work was being done(we had plumbing work being done and the bathroom being renovated so we couldn't stay here) so he was here alone.
I don't know what happened but he said someone had to stay in the house with him while he worked because he said that he knows there is something going on here. I never told him anything but he wouldn't telll me what it was he saw or heard, he didn't want to talk about it.
My son had a friend from school come over one day and his mother dropped him off, when he came in he said that his mom recognized my house and told him that when they were looking to buy a house they looked at this one but she said when she went in and looked at it she felt like it was haunted and had some weird feeling so they left.
My nephew helped me move in after I bought it and he put some stuff in the attic and when he came back out he said I will do whatever else you need me to do but I don't want to go back into the attic, he said there is something in there but he wouldn't tell me what he saw.
He has been seeing spirits since he was a child and he is very sensitive to that kind of thing.
The attic doesn't bother me so much even though I can definitely sense a presence but the cellar makes me very uneasy.
I think I block alot of stuff out so that I don't freak myself out, either that or its just that you get more comfortable with it.
One time my mother babysat and my daughter kept flipping here head back and then she said Nana stop pulling my hair and my mom said that she would never pull her hair and my daughter said oh its them then and my mom watched and she said she swore on her life she saw my daughter's braid moving like someone was yanking on her braid.
There has been so many things happen here that I could write a book
I have been restoring this old place for the last 15 years, it was really falling apart when I bought it but I just loved the place and the history of it . The people that lived here originally were friends with Daniel Webster and he use to come here to get his congressman's boots made by the shoe factory on this property.
I love restoring it to its former glory so I hope the spirits approve, I actually get worried sometimes when we change things that I will upset the balance or something here but I have never modernized it other than the plumbing, heating and electrical systems.
I don't even have a dishwasher or garbage disposal because I am trying to keep it as original as possible.
I know there is alot of people who don't believe and my husband was one of them but he will tell you that he has seen and heard things that have changed his mind.
There are some things that cannot just be scientifically explained away.
I will let you guys know what happens when those paranormal investigators come out to the house this spring.
Maybe I can help the spirits, it bothers me that the woman that saw them said they are sad and lonely.

Natalie, write everything down, and yes you may want to consider writing a book. Perhaps you don't quite realize it but your experiences in that house are a best seller and a movie in the making.
Horror movie writers would be chomping at the bit to get your story, most of the time its made up stuff they write about, yours is the real deal.
Please be careful with whom you bring into your house to help you with these issues, seek references if possible. You certainly don't want someone to add fuel to any flames that may be burning.
The lady that cares sounds nice but ask her if she has experience with this sort of thing. I would vote for help from someone who is knowledgeable but very sensitive and caring to these lost souls or whatever they are.
Be very weary of some strong, aggressive type of personality who wants to get involved. Just my .02, not trying to tell you how to do your business.
Best of luck and please keep the stories coming! And write them down, you won't regret it.

JP, you are right about who should get involved, thats why I haven't done anything with it yet. I get nervous that they will stir something up and I wonder if I should leave things alone. Then I start to worry that these spirits will be stuck here forever so I would have to tread carefully so that I don't screw it up.
I told the guy that wants to come in and try to record voices that I don't want them to do anything to cause trouble but he said they just set up equipment and hang out. I guess they can catch conversations in the background that no one else hears but they don't try to contact them.
There is a woman someone told me about that will come to your house and ask if they want to communicate.
The people that told me about her have spirits in their house and the woman asked if they wanted to talk and they agreed.The homeowners mentioned that they hear the kitchen door knob rattle every night and a spirit said that he is the caretaker of the house and he walks around every night and checks all the doors and windows and he told the woman to tell the homeowners to call him Joe.
They played a audio tape for me and you can hear a woman call her son over, she says come on and the child's name.
They looked into it and the child died as a toddler.
They have the whole story of the house and its spirits now but I don't think they asked the homeowners to do anything to help them pass over.
I may contact her to see what she thinks, I don't want trouble but if I can help them I will.
I will start a journal on all this JP, its an excellent idea, thanks.

Natalie, i have always been intentionally vague on my beliefs because i like to try to get people to think, not react. i must tell you that messing with the spirit world is a dangerous thing. i believe that there is absolute good and absolute evil. angles and demons, if you will. evil is the great deceiver. i do believe that we have a choice in our spiritual life. we open ourselves to good/God, or we open ourselves to evil/Satan. most people would not open themselves to evil intentionally. thus the need for the deception of the demons. what you see and feel is real. it just may not be what you think it is.
are there ghosts? perhaps. if there are, they do not need our help to reach their destination. it was determined before they died.

Kathy, I do understand what you are saying and I believe in that too. That is why I have never done anything with it so far but I feel guilty that there is a little girl involved, why would God want her to be left behind? I have so many questions in all of this.
I have never wanted to do anything that can let anything else in, such as a seance (sp?) or anything, that scares the daylights out of me.
I just don't know why they would be here. Why do you think they were left here on purpose, like predetermined before they died? I would be interested in hearing more about that.
I have heard that if they have unfinished business it will happen or if they don't realize they are dead it can happen but I am not sure why else.
Is this their form of purgatory?
I can't imagine why a little girl would have to repent unless its for the sins of her family, I just don't know how all this works.
I know what you are saying about deception, it seems that this would be a child though. My children have seen and talked to her, she asks them to play with her and that woman has seen her and says she is lonely. But you have a point and I understand that is how deception works as well.
I worry that I have some responsibility if I know about them and don't do anything.
For the most part, I don't feel scared here. I mean in my normal everyday life its fine, once in a while something will give you a jolt but we are use to the regular interactions here.
I just don't like the basement and thats where we found the headstone. I wonder what that headstone is about, but it doesn't have anything written on it.
The fact that it just appeared after more than 10 years is so strange that I wonder if it was suppose to be telling me something.
JP, I will ask God to be with me on all of this, I will pray and ask for his guidance. Thank you.

ask yourself why someone would want you to
that god left this girl behind. what might that do to your faith and your opinion of god. evil lies. that should always be your first thought when you evaluate anything in any realm.

Kathy is correct, there are good and evil spirits and it can be very easy to allow the evil ones to take over your life, I've known it to happen and it almost happened to me. But there is a way to exert and maintain control of the commications between realms on the spiritual level but it is not for the amatuer.
One thing about evil voices, they keep increasing in number is control is not exerted and will eventually gain dominence, they keep suggesting more and more outrageous things and one person can be being harrassed by hundreds of them.
Natalie, those people who "live" in your house are there because they are confused or lost as to where they're supposed to be and a consequence are reliving a period of their lives over and over again. If you see one, and if the historian can give you the names of the individuals, just call them by name and tell them to look for the light, that the answer is on the other side of the light. You will then have or see something similar to what is shown on the ghost whisperer when she sends someone over. That part of that particular show is most likely based on someone's actual experiences.
You can send the entire "family" over. Often, when a family is involved sending one will automatically send the others because of the spiritual ties.
Kathy, this type of stuff has little to do with any religious sect or denomination, it is universal to all mankind, regardless of Mormon, Catholic, Protesant, Hindu, Islam, etc.
Life is a school. What have you learned? :brian: The greatest danger to our society is apathy, vote in every election!

Brian I will have to check out that show one time. I gave up television a few years ago and have no idea of what is on tv anymore.
I know what you mean by them living a part of their lives over and over again because I heard what sounded like someone coming in from work one night.
Everyone in the family says they can feel someone sit on the edge of their beds while they are sleeping. I have felt it too, just like someone sits down and the egde of the bed sinks down.
Sometimes the dogs will stare at "something" and bark like crazy and back up, they will keep looking at me and then at "whatever" and bark and growl.
I think most of the time what we hear is a child.
After my grandmother past away everyone was coming to my house after the funeral.
I was busy preparing the house and I asked the kids not to make any messes.
I could hear someone playing upstairs, you could hear all the toys in the toybox being dumped out and it sounded like a truck going back and forth along the floor.
I yelled at them to stop making a mess and my husband came in the room and said why are you yelling the kids are sitting on the couch watching tv with me?
Sometimes you can hear a ball bouncing over and over.
One night I was sitting on the couch with my husband and I heard one of the kids come down the stairs from their room and I yelled out to them and no one came in the room but them I heard footsteps going back up again.
A minute later I heard the footsteps come back down and I yelled for them to come in and see me but they didn't, I heard them start back up the stairs so I jumped up to follow them in case someone was sick or whatever and there wasn't anyone there.
I ran up the stairs and checked their rooms and everyone was sound asleep.
When I came back down the stairs I found a doll sitting on one of the bottom of the steps, it wasn't placed there but looked like it was dropped.
My daughters were well past the doll playing age and I was pregnant with my youngest daughter and these dolls were put away in a closet.
Just gives me the idea that it could be that little girl.
I have a picture of her. I don't know why but my neighbor who is the town historian thought I would like to have a picture of the girl that lived here, he also gave me a picture of the house from way back then with the family standing on the front lawn.
I can see the black man that my daughter sees in that picture and there is a woman with a baby buggy, but I am not sure about the rest of them. Its getting very faded, but I don't recognize the rest of them.

Ghosts are spirits caught between. That is they are still in the earthly realm but most people can't see them as they are normally transparent. Ghosts can make themselves known, visually, physically, and audiably. Spirits caught between are usually either there because of a tramatic event near or at death, because they believe that's where they're suppose to be (don't recognized the existance of the spirit world), or they are locked in a turmoil. They can be instructed how to reach the other side as I've indicated.
I knew one gentleman whose mother had died. About a year later his father, who had pssed before the mother came to him and told him he had to go out the cemetary and talk to his mother. Seems her spirit was still united with her body, even in death. So he went to the cemetary and he could suddenly see his mother lying in the coffin, spirit and body. He called out to her several times, finely she woke up and asked what he wanted as she was waiting for Gabriel's horn to blow. Once he had his mother's attention his father was then able to appear and take his mother with him to the other side.
My parents died several years ago, to this day, once in awhile I can still feel them set down on the bed I'm laying in. I still sleep in the bed my father died in. It's kind of a confort to be reminded they are still so close.
I know another man who has 2 sisters, the sister are very competative and always into one-ups-manship. As their mother was dying the sisters made the mother promise that she would return in a year after her death and tell one of them about it. A year later the man was sitting in the cab of this truck when his mother appeared to him. She took him on a tour of the spirit world and told him that she had kept her promise to return and tell one of her children how it was, but that she came to him because going to either of his sisters would have caused more problems between them.
There are a lot of such experiences out there but people keep them to themselves because they think others will think them crazy and as a result we've lost much of our ability to communicate with spirits. There are also a good number of people who've died and lived to tell about it. They see the spirit world for themselves and at some point, if the body is intact (survivable) they are given the option to return and complete their life's mission. We only here from those who chose to return not those who chose to stay.
For John (Beemaster): I'm sorry I miss out on a lot of the tongue-in-cheek stuff that gets written but I have an excuse. Ever go to th doctor with a pain and he asks you, on a scale of 1 (low) to 10 (hi) to rate your pain? My doctor doesn't ask me that anymore, only the specialist I occassionally get referred to. I look at the pain scale like the Richter Scale where 2 is 10 times worse than 1 and 3 is 10 times worse than 2 and so forth. Level 10 is at that point where the human body can no longer handle the pain and unconsciousness or coma results. Due to all the physical ailments and injuries I've experienced in my life my normal pain level is about level 7, 24/7. Pain pills manage to keep it bearable, barely. On a real good good day I can be a level 5 and actually have a sense of humor but most of the time it is more like operating in a daze.
Life is a school. What have you learned? :brian: The greatest danger to our society is apathy, vote in every election!

I am curious to know whether they realize we are here. If they are going about their business, reliving parts of their lives and we don't exist for them and occasionally they may see or hear one of us like we do with them.
Ever see the movie called the Others?

Sometimes I wonder what those that don't experience constant pain would rate the pain that we sufferers experience all the time. After all we have learned to live with it and put up with it. But just imagine if another was suddenly hit with it. :shock:
For the longest time I thought it was normal to have pain in the head and that everybody had it. Imagine my surprise when I learned that there were actually people out there with out pain.

Has anyone done this and pulled it off well? I am trying to make the majority of my armor from Sintra (Everything but the gauntlets and helmet) but this piece just confused me as to how it could be done.
I haven't ever seen a guide on here for such a thing, but if anyone knows of one, I'd appreciate a pointer to it.
Anyone got any tips, or better yet, examples?

'Some players do well and some players struggle under Ruff's system. The players who succeed, like Jason Pominville, have two-way talent. It appears the system isn't going to change, so the roster has to. Running three purely offensive lines and asking several one-way players like Leino to work in both ends is asking for either failure or a long adjustment period (which may be the case with Leino.) The challenge is whether the Sabres can find those players and put together a 2012-13 roster that fits the "system."'

"Where do cancer data even come from?" This was the question posed to Dr. Elizabeth Platz prior to the 2012 Johns Hopkins University Nano-Bio Symposium. Dr. Platz is the Martin D. Abeloff, MD Scholar in Cancer Prevention and director of the Cancer Epidemiology, Prevention, & Control Training Program at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. As a cancer epidemiologist, Platz studies the frequency, distribution, and causes of cancer using data collected by the National Cancer Institute. By looking at these data, epidemiologists hope to understand why cancer occurs and what might be done to prevent it. "Cancer mortality in the US is declining and has been for some time," Platz said. "The question is why."
Dr. Platz and other cancer epidemiologists work on answering this "why." Platz explained that cancer epidemiologists hypothesize why cancer rates may be high in certain segments of the population, follow a cohort of at-risk patients to see if they develop disease, and then try to figure out if some risk factor could be partially responsible for the disease. By identifying risk factors, cancer epidemiologists can influence public policy and promote preventative action.
Increasingly, cancer epidemiologists are working with researchers trying to answer basic science questions. An example of Dr. Platz's recent interdisciplinary work involves finding tissue-based markers for prostate cancer, which could inform diagnoses and treatment decisions made by clinicians. One potential marker the researchers found is telomere length. Telomeres are repeated units on the ends of all chromosomes. Platz and her team of collaborators at Johns Hopkins showed that variability in tumor cell telomere length gave a 40-times greater risk for recurrence when compared with low telomere length variability. In the future, telomere length may be quantified following removal of a patient's primary tumor before deciding on the next course of treatment.
Dr. Platz finished her talk by discussing the importance of having scientists in the nanobiotechnology fields work with cancer epidemiologists. Nanobiotechnology could greatly help epidemiologists measure exposure to environmental toxins and handle large amounts of data, allowing the epidemiologists to better make and test hypotheses about why cancer occurs. Future collaborations have the potential to drastically improve cancer care and patient survival rates.

Former Hancock College Star Plays in National Championship Game
Cameron Artis-Payne and Auburn Come Up Just Short
PASADENA, Calif. - So close. Former Alan Hancock College star Cameron Artis-Payne and his Auburn teammates lost a thriller 34-31 to Florida State in Monday's BCS National Championship at the Rose Bowl.
He holds almost every major rushing record for the Bulldogs and was the number one junior college running back following the 2012 season.

Have you shot the gun yet? Does it shoot were you are pointing and eeject the spent shells ok? A used gun with the rails looking a little worn seems to be logical to me. The nick...... I would really have to see to know weather it should be a concern. I have never pulled the trigger and looked at the end of the barrel before......I don't think I am going to now either. There is a slight gap at the top of the barrel between the slide and the barrel.
Good luck the CW9 is a very nice gun!

When I was in college, one of my favorite lunches besides soft pretzels was coffee yogurt. The fact that you could offset the sweet taste of the yogurt with the strong and wonderfully bitter taste of coffee was amazing. It was one of those discoveries that can only seem momentous when you are of a certain age and everything new seems life-altering. I even decorated an entire wall of my dorm room one year with coffee yogurt tops from my lunches.
The problem was, the caffeine made me jittery. So I have spent the last 25 years looking and waiting for a coffee yogurt made with decaf coffee.
Which is how I've been feeling lately about Exadata benchmarks.
We've had ads from Oracle. We've had press releases from Oracle. But what we haven't had is an industry standard benchmark result on Oracle's Exadata V2 system.
It's time for advocacy. They didn't have social media when I was waiting for yogurt. But I think it's finally time for a group called Where are the Exadata Benchmarks?

The Discussion
Brilliant, thanks guys
I would really appreciate if you guys added captions to your videos. I am deaf and I have so many ideas for apps and I would definitely be interested in developing for Windows Phone 8 if I could only understand what anybody is saying. Reading lips can only go so far.
Awesome! Thanks MS!! .. and C9!
nice video...and i want the t-shirt of windows 8 which andy sir has in this video.......nice t-shirt sir...
very nice ..
Following the Day 2, couldn't wait for the full session to upload!
Is there a Channel 9 Windows 8 downloadable app to watch this kind of training?
Fantastic series to learn everthing around WP8! Great! Thanks MS!
great training
Very nice!! :D
Any chance to get subs?
It would be nice for non english speakers like me.
Thanks a lot
Great videos! Thank you very much! :)
Any chance to get the source code? You've mentioned that you'll publish them.
Good videos
The accompanying slides were uploaded here:
There is a zip file link there for the code demos too but I'm personally having trouble extracting from it. Hoping it gets added here too.
Thank you very much, i was waiting for it
Great videos! Thank you very much!
There is a zip file link there for the code demos too but I'm personally having trouble extracting from it. Hoping it gets added here too.
The Demo code download at the JumpStart site is broken. Unable to extract it as it asks for the next file in the split/spanned archive. I've downloaded both from Day 1 and Day 2 (exact same file size from both). Tried Windows Explorer, WinRAR and WinZip to extract. None worked. Please re-upload the demos.
Is is possible to download the videos direct to a windows 8 phone for viewing. Does IE on windows phone 8 support right click and download. If not, how would you put one of the videos onto the phone /(Nokia 920) for offline viewing.
Downloads are still broken. Anyone fixing them??
Is the source code available for these lessons? I would really like to see the code for the projects.
Has anyone fixed the source code yet?? I would really like to download it. However, when I do download it what ever program I want to use says that it is in more than one file and I just keep getting errors and not even any partial extractions. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE someone help us!!!
why such animosity and ridicule for using native code? There are genuine use-cases that are not ridiculous
Andy tweeted this a while ago, with a link to the individual samples:
Finally posted it - sorry for the delay! It's at http://bit.ly/ZmkTI0 - figuring out how to combine into one sample pack...
I'm interested in where i can find the all of demos used in this series.
@zed: As I said, they're at http://bit.ly/ZmkTI0
it's really a shame this video does not contain subtitles.

The Zoom Fluke is the original soft plastic jerkbait and the predecessor of the Super Fluke. The Fluke is a truly amazing bait. One would really have to fish it to understand. Texas rig it without a weight, and twitch or "soft jerk" on the surface, then let it slowly fall to a few feet deep, and repeat. Bass just "react" when they see this bait in action. They just can't stand it. This bait is very effective when fished in weed pockets also. The Zoom Fluke is 4" long and comes 10 per pack.

Discussion in 'Maintenance & Upkeep' started by JimmyA, Jun 26, 2013.
What is the preference? I'm thinking of a Purolator(paper) for my truck! Any suggestions?
K&N in my ride since day 1
yeah, I second the K&N in the stock housing.
they go almost 50,000 miles between cleanings
hi JimmyA
yes purolater air filter have best performance for trucks. Purolator is a leading manufacturer of HVAC filtration products for residential, commercial/industrial and HEPA applications.
I would like to see data that proves that
Ive been a long time fan of K&N, but as I get older and lazyier I look for new ways to get more done for less, I havnt bought a replacement for my truck yet but when I do I have it narrowed down to a couple different dry flow filters, yes Im getting to lazy to recharge a K&N.
That's pretty lazy. It take ~20 minutes to clean a K&N, another 5 minutes to apply oil to it after it dries.
I have been a user of K&N air filters for years. One of the first things I buy for any vehicle I purchase.
I have K&N air filter and I'm happy with it.
what kind of kn would you guys suggest for 2013 silverado 1500?
I have had a preference for the Amsoil Ea Air Filters for some time. Very good flow compared to stock, with very good filtering. Synthetic mesh in filters does a far better job than traditional cellulose filter media. I like synthetic mesh media in all of my filters, oil or air. And you can vacuum clean the Amsoil one and use up to 4 yr / 100,000 miles according to them. $36 under preferred pricing.

For someone with experience, this is fine, but if you don't you might be a little overwhelmed with the idea. Don't fret, however, the switch can be replaced by using simple tools like a screwdriver, safety glasses, and screws.

Brown algae growing slowly on rocks and leaves
I'm VERY new to the world of freshwater tanks and I was hoping for some helpful advice. I purchased a 3 gallon tank about 4 months ago and I love it so much, that I'm considering upgrading it to a 10 gallon. But before I do, I wanted to get the basics down and be able to troubleshoot if a problem arises. I've recently purchased a 'vacuum siphon' (?) that helps keep the rocks clean. The first time I used it I was amazed! Why hadn't I bought this earlier?! And I also recently purchased the magnet cleaner that stays on each side of the acrilyc to 'wipe' away the gunk.
I have, I think, too many fish in my tank. I have; 1 beta, 3 neon tetras, 1 marimo moss ball, 1 upside down catfish, 1 albino Cory and a plecostomus. Th plants are live and before I added the plecostomus (2 days ago) it seemed as if my tank were being taken over by brown algae. It is on the rocks, leaves and acrilyc. It comes off of the leaves and acrilyc when I wipe it away but I thought the Cory, catfish & plecostomus would clean up the gunk. The catfish stays on the filter in the tank and never moves from that spot (why?), the plecostomus stays against the acrilyc and the Cory cleans a bit.
My question is...1. Do I have too many fish in my tank. 2. Aren't these fish supposed to help it stay clean? 3. Should I be using some sort of fish 'chrmicals' in my tank besides Aquasafe?
Any help is greatly appreciated as I am willing to learn and I can't wait to get the bigger tank so I can learn and perfect the art of aquascaping.

yes you are over stocking.
no you shouldn't use chemicals.
no fish should never be seen as the clean up crew. they are ultimately the providers of the nutrients your algae is thriving on...
general rule of thumb. 1in of fish / gallon of water.
plecos get very big... some to around a foot
corys should be in a school of 4+
neon tetras... the same...
I suggest you take back all the cat fishes to the LFS and go for two ottos. they will clean the algae for you and have a smaller bioload.
I dont know how well planted your tank is, but I really dont recommend more than the Betta in there...
The upside down cat will hide until it is large enough to basically swallow neons whole. They are best kept with even tempered cichlids. Sad, because theyre awesome looking.
Maybe a 29 gallon would be better fit to your wants/needs from a community tank. That would give you room for larger shoals of tetra and corydoras. Not to mention it will be a heck of a lot more stable, parameter wise.
Are any smaller breeds of pleco available in your area? Maybe some otocinclus? Or even some shrimp to pick at the stuff may be wiser.
Thank you for responding, Aokashi & Stven P.
I don't know if I can return the fish, but I will see if anyone I know would like to take the Cory, catfish and plecostomus. Sucks because I like seeing all the fish but I don't want them to be stressed because of overcrowding. Hopefully I will be getting a larger tank soon because I'm really enjoying watching the fish. They're very calming and have such personalities!
My tank is pretty well planted, I think. It has almost a wall of plants that the fish like to hide in and the beta rests on the leaves. I've posted a side picture of my tank on my profile. I eill check out the LFS for ottos.
Thank you again for your feedback. I really appreciate it.
Getting Started
Hello Holly...
You actually need a larger tank if you want to master the basics of the "Waterkeeping" hobby. I started seriously in the hobby with a 30 gallon tank. There needs to be a lot of water in a tank to allow for mistakes in what is called "tank management". Everyone makes them, but if you have a larger tank, then your fish aren't as likely to be hurt because of poor water conditions.
If you want to guarantee success in this hobby, you should go with a larger tank. You'll feel better, because your fish will survive your "learning curve".
Just a thought or two.
Hi Holly,
I know your original post was about the algae concern, but I wanted to comment on a few other things:
I agree with BBradbury above: Generally a larger volume of water is better for aquariums. Small volumes of water can be sensitive to changes in the tank environment such as temperature, water chemistry, and toxins from the bio-load. The lighting is also a bit more difficult to get right over a nano tank. However, the up-side of a small volume of water is that water changes involve less water (which is sometimes attractive).
From experience, I've also found that planted nano tanks are quite a challenge because almost all aquatic plants grow too big and fast for the nano sized tank. If you get good at growing plants, you will constantly struggle to maintain the aquascape aesthetic in such a small tank.
There are many philosophies regarding aquarium-keeping and your use of the gravel vacuum tool stood out to me. I'm not sure if you have a particular aquarium-keeping philosophy that you adhere to. Personally, the gravel cleaner is something left over from the (my) past. In a planted tank with an appropriate substrate, a gravel vacuum shouldn't be needed. In my case, I use soil which is sometimes capped with a fine-grain gravel. You can imagine that using a gravel vacuum would make quite a mess in that case.
To me, the gravel vacuum is an icon of the general idea that everything needs to be clean, clean, clean. You need to be careful with this concept and be mindful of the micro life that you will also be establishing in your tank. This dictates how you maintain your substrate and also how you maintain your filter and associated equipment.
You say that you are new to freshwater tanks, so perhaps you will adopt new philosophies over time. I would guess that the brown algae you have has its roots in the particular manner in which you are keeping the tank.
There are many things to get in order to avoid the various algae types. Hopefully, this will give you a few ideas on what to research further... There is a lot to learn, so I didn't want to try and throw it all at you at once.

Thanks, Don
That's good info and I'm gonna pass it along to my mechanic next week -- I want to get this resolved!
54 Chevy Pickup
"Short - Lines"
Oh yeah ... one more thing to mention.
Some of those value lines are what we call "short lines"...
where only the fastest-moving part numbers are available. The lower-volume (sometimes "optional" or odd-ball) part numbers may ONLY be available in the premium line.
I work at a NAPA store here in Canada where we sell 3 "grades" of brake rotors and several different "grades" of friction material as well. (NAPA has really gotten on the "Good, Better, Best" kick in recent years ... likely due to a lot of competitively priced off-shore crap!
"NAPA United","TRU-STOP", and now a new line called "Brake Right".
"NAPA United" (AE = Application Engineered, SS = Safety Stop,CMX = Ceramix, SD = Severe Duty), "TRU-STOP", and possibly "BrakeRight" as well.
When they first introduced these lines we jokingly referered to them as "SureStop", "ShouldStop", and "MightStop"
We stock the "Best" and "Better" lines, and draw the line there.
The "TRU-STOP" line of rotors is a "white box" sort of line intended for the "value-conscious consumer". Most of it is not too bad ... in fact some of it is mfr'd by ITT/Aimco and made in Canada ... very good quality, while others are made in China and packaged in "rice cardboard". My installers say that they have to occasionally put brand new stuff on the brake lathe to "true it up" and then re-install on the car in order to get it out the door. I do understand that this can occur due to improper storage ... rotors need to be stored flat, not on edge, and not in tall piles either.
With this in mind, you'll understand why we drew the line there. We (in our independently-owned associate store) DON'T WANT to attract the type of clientele that would buy anything less. They're the type that will think nothing of spending $20.00 for a dozen beer and $10.00 more for a pack of cigarettes, but whine like hell over spending more than that $30.00 on brake parts! I just don't get it.
Anyway! ... on to the point:
I have not yet heard of any of these off-shore rotors being too thick. I think it's more likely that you have simply been sold the wrong parts ... trust me ... parts people are human, and do make mistakes. One of the most common mistakes are "dyslexic" number reversals (i.e. 88630 instead of 88603)
1.) Check to make sure that the part numbers on your invoice matches the part numbers on the boxes.
2.) Have your supplier check the application again and carefully compare the part numbers to what you have already bought.
3.) Ask if there might be any other optional listings that may have been dismissed. ("Most times it's this one" scenario.)
4.) Insist on buying the "name-brand" parts ... or at least get him/her to bring both types to the counter for comparison. Check them with the naked eye, and then check them with a digital caliper.
Finally, if your brakes have become "spongy" since you had them apart, it is quite likely due to the fact that air has been introduced into the brake system somewhere, perhaps at the bleeder screws or at the master cylinder.
I'll assume that you did use the correct (likely DOT3) and fresh brake fluid while topping up as well?
I'd be more than willing to try to cross-reference the part numbers that you have, and see if I come up with anything different for your application.
We did that, but the new rotors are too thick and the outboard pads won't clear the rotor - by 1/8th-inch ... the only solution I can think of is to shave the brake pad down and I'm hoping for a better solution than that.
I called JEG'S and talked to a tech there and he said a lot of times new rotors, being made overseas, are milled too thick and this is becoming a common problem!
What to do?
The new pads fit okay on my old rotors, but now my pedal is spungy (mushy) and I'd hate to see what would happen if I had to stop short!
54 Chevy Pickup
Hi Alan,
Uneven wear on brake pads is usually a sign of sticking caliper slides.
Disc brakes are designed so that the piston applies the force from one side of the caliper, but the caliper slides on the steering knuckle so that it centers itself on the rotor in order to apply an equalized clamping force to both sides of the rotor. (I hope that I'm explaining this well enough.)
As the friction material wears, the piston extends further and further out of it's housing in the caliper. When you install new pads, you have to push the piston back in it's bore until the new pads clear the rotor. The way that I do that is to loosen the bleeder screw, and compress the piston back into the caliper using a C-clamp.
So inspect, clean, and lube the caliper pins, bushings, and sliding surface on the steering knuckle. Use a silicone-based "disc brake caliper lube" like Permatex #31877 (which is a 5 gram "counterman's choice" retail pouch containing enough lube for a single application.)
Need Advice: Which Brake Setup to Buy
I need some advice from y'all in the know:
I've got a Mustang II IFS on my 54 Chevy pickup, with 1982 Monte Carlo 11-inch front disc brakes. I went to put new brake pads on today and attempted to put new rotors, too, but came up with a problem ... the new rotors ('82-'88 Monte Carlo) were fatter than the calipers! The brake pads on the inside were okay, but on the outside, the pads were about 1/8-inch into the rotor! So I couldn't install the new rotors.
I don't get it.
Anyway, we just put the new pads on (with the old rotors) for now and left it at that. Now my braking is spongier than before, but it's okay. I'm thinking I'll buy a new rotor and brake kit from JEG'S or something and just replace the whole setup ... I'd like to do this ASAP.
Something isn't right with my present setup ... the left-front brake pad was worn in a wedge shape, like 1/4-inch more worn in the front of the pad than the back.
So ... can anyone direct me to the "best" setup to buy? How do I determine what to get -- is what I want to order just based on the Mustang II front end?
Thanks for your help.

View a general biology class on the nature of the cell and learn more about how Dr. Maia Larios-Sanz, an assistant professor in the Biology Department at University of St. Thomas, who inspires her students with her own passion for the subject.
Larios-Sanz says general biology is one of her favorite classes to teach.
In this class, students build on their critical thinking skills as they are exposed to the scientific method and learn to appreciate life and its many intricate details and processes. In the unit profiled here, students are introduced to the many sub-compartments of animal and plant cells.
"They get a feel for the types of jobs carried out by each part of the cell, how their shape fit their function, and how everything is interconnected, "Larios-Sanz said. "Students get to see the big picture after they analyze each component. They appreciate the sophisticated and highly coordinated mechanisms that make a single cell work, and how that contributes to the general well being of a whole organism. They see how it all ties together and how important each part is to the workings of life processes."
A native of Mexico City, Larios-Sanz joined the UST faculty in 2006 after earning her doctorate at the University of Houston and then completing her post-doctoral education at Rice University.
Larios is also the Service Learning Coordinator in the Department of Biology. Together with her colleagues, she is working towards incorporating Service Learning across the biology curriculum. These opportunities are already available in General Biology II, Medical Microbiology and Cell Biology.
"What I like about St. Thomas is that the small classes really give me a chance to interact with each and every student," she said. "Being a professor, I have the best job I could ever want. Not only am I working in a field that I love, but I get to teach students who are eager to learn. It's amazing to me to see the quality of students who come to UST."
When she's not teaching courses on general biology, bioinformatics or microbiology, Larios-Sanz says she stays busy at home with her husband and children, ages 7, 5 and 2.
"If I weren't a professor and if I could have my biggest wish, I would want to be an astronaut," she said with a laugh. "Obviously it's not very realistic for me now, but it's something I always wanted to do as a kid. I love the idea of discovering new places and seeing our planet from an entirely different perspective."
Students interested in majoring in biology can call Dr. Larios-Sanz at 713-831-7866 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

We listened to marketers of the world's biggest brands when they asked, "What's the impact of Facebook on my brand?" and we decided to take a look for ourselves. We proudly present our latest research, "The Facebook Factor." In the report, we answer the pressing question, "How much more likely are Facebook fans to purchase, consider, and recommend brands, compared with non-fans?" We used logistic regression modeling to find out. The impact? We call it the "Facebook factor," and I urge you to read the report to find out how you can leverage our methodology to assess the Facebook factor for your brand.
In the report, we use four major brands as case studies to assess the Facebook factor for Coca-Cola, Walmart, Best Buy, and BlackBerry(Research In Motion [RIM]). Guess what? Facebook fans are much more likely to purchase, consider, and recommend the brands that they engage with on Facebook than non-fans. As the graphic below shows, Facebook fans of Best Buy are about twice as likely to purchase from and recommend Best Buy as non-fans.

Whether you prefer thick and spicy or thin and tangy, these homemade barbecue sauces will add a kick to classic grilling recipes.
Fancy Barbecue SauceThis fancy sauce comes together in a snap and is guaranteed to satisfy every Southern palate at your table.
Tangy Strawberry Barbecue SauceA sauce like none other, this tangy strawberry topping is the answer to all of our bbq needs. Citrusy lemon and snappy strawberry meets your traditional ingredients plus an added welcome kick from chili sauce and cayenne pepper. In just 10 minutes whip up a sauce so good, you'll never want to go back to basic barbecue.
Tangy Coffee Barbecue SauceThe addition of brewed coffee to a tomato-based barbecue sauce adds a whole new depth of rich flavor. This zesty condiment is great with grilled steaks, pork, or chicken.
El Sancho Barbecue Sauce
Turn up the Texas on this sweet and spicy barbecue sauce by stirring in 1/4 cup of reserved brisket drippings just before serving.
Tangy-Sweet Barbecue SauceMake a quick, 5-ingredient barbecue sauce for grilled chicken or pork by adding apricot jam, honey, soy sauce and vinegar to ketchup. You can even use it as a dipping sauce along with an assortment of other sauces when you're entertaining guests this summer.
Peachy Barbecue SauceEnhance the flavors of ham, pork, and chicken with this delicate, summery fruit sauce. The chili sauce and vinegar balance out the peach preserves' sweetness, while the cloves add a hint of spice.
Maple-Chipotle Barbecue SauceStrong-flavored meats like lamb, game, or beef can stand up to this bold sauce featuring adobo chiles, aromatic spices (like cloves and coriander), and maple syrup. It takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes to prepare, but is well worth the effort–and the majority of that time is devoted to baking the garlic cloves, not hands-on prep work.
Four-Alarm Barbecue SauceThis dipping sauce is a great alternative to the usual shrimp cocktail sauces, and relies on a secret ingredient–a can of Coca-Cola! One reviewer even compared it to a wings sauce. For more heat, make sure you use the jalapeño seeds or chop up a second pepper.
Thick-and-Robust Barbecue SauceThis Kansas City-style sauce is similar to nationally branded barbecue sauces like KC Masterpiece. The ketchup thickens it up a bit, while the cider vinegar and onion add tang. Pair with steak, pork, burgers, or chicken and baste during the last 10 minutes of cooking, then serve additional sauce with the meal.
Sweet Mustard Barbecue SauceSauces from the Carolinas tend to be vinegar-based; this is a sweeter and thicker version of a traditional South Carolina sauce. Like all homemade sauces, you can make substitutions or alter the quantities of ingredients to personalize this sauce to your own tastes and preferences.
Brown Sugar Barbecue SauceHomemade sauces tend to be much lower in sodium than commercial sauces, making them a great alternative for those watching their salt intake. This sauce gets its deep flavor from the variety of spices and other sauces that go into it–feel free to make substitutions to suit your own tastes. It's best with grilled chicken and paired with a side of coleslaw and baked beans.
Tangy Barbecue SauceUse this tomato-based sauce for dipping, dressing up sandwiches, or as a glaze brushed on during the last 15 minutes of cooking. The sorghum, a type of molasses, lends a touch of sweetness to the mixture, though the lemon juice and hot and Worcestershire sauces keep it from being overwhelming.
Quick Barbecue SauceWhen you need a barbecue sauce at the last minute, you can't go wrong with this 6-ingredient, 5-minute sauce. And all of the ingredients are probably already in your pantry.
Tomatillo Barbecue SauceA far cry from a tomato-based barbecue sauce, this sweet and tangy yellow sauce is made with fresh green tomatoes and tomatillos. It's great for basting grilled chicken, fish, or shrimp.
White Barbecue SauceAt many barbecue joints across the South, white barbecue sauce is the sauce of choice. It's generally a mayonnaise-based sauce, made tangy with the addition of vinegar, horseradish, and mustard. Fans of white sauce say that once you've doused your barbecued chicken in this sauce, you'll never go back to red.

|SVT Performance (2002-2004) The place to chat about any 2.0L SVT DOHC Zetec engine performance, tuning and exhaust related upgrades.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Felix, very good point, I didn't intend to discount your point, mainly meant my comment as a bit of a joke on all the complaining about chatter I hear.
Viper, I think the chatter things is obviously a personal choice, I have no problem explaining chatter and that it's normal. My Ducati's have dry multiplate clutches, and always chatter, so I personally think it's quite normal and have no problems explaining the chatter if someone asks.
I will partially disagree with you, I agree having a higher stage clutch then you need is excessive for a daily driver. But I LOVE my 12lb Al flywheel for daily driving. My SVTF revs faster and it changes the character of the car for me. I'm at 172k miles and putting in a new clutch this weekend, mainly because I love how it drives so much I don't want to trade it in on a new ST yet. If I went back to stock 24.5 lb flywheel, I would not be as in love with my car.
I think a stage 1 clutch with Al flywheel is perfect for a daily driver, IF you are not the type of person to get annoyed at the chatter.
I didnt think id care about the chatter, but honestly, it can ware on you.. especially in traffic or when you take a date out to dinner.
Its not cool when you have to explain that "no my car isnt broken, its just a lightweight flywheel with a stage 3 clutch, so it makes that sound. See? sound just went away because i pushed my clutch in."
For a daily driver, unless you need it to hold the power, there's really no reason to have a leightweight fly/stage clutch.
|A quick note on chatter, who cares about noise when the engine revs soo much better with a 12lb Al flywheel??
I love my Spec Stage 2! I've just about run through my second spec Stage 2.
Mine is slipping in 6th gear when freezing cold. It's fine when warmed up, but the parking lot at work to the highway has only 1 stop light and that's it, so it's easy for me to get to the highway still "cold clutch". I go easy on it when cold and it's fine.
I'm going to order a new Spec Clutch & flywheel in the next week or so. Sadly my last clutch was back before the flywheel change, so where as last time I simply got a Spec Stg2 & flywheel friction plate, this time I need a new clutch and flywheel.
My stock clutch/flywheel failed at 45k miles (damn Ford), replaced it with a Spec Stage 2 & Al flywheel, because at the time OEM parts were a 6-8 week back order and it was my only car at the time.
That Stg2 clutch lasted for 70k miles (lots of downtown DC traffic on a kevlar clutch, I didn't expect OEM clutch life).
Replaced with another Spec Stg 2 & flywheel friction pack, this one is now starting to slip in 6th when cold, so I know I'm in for a clutch job soon. Trying to baby the clutch till it warms up a tad and I can start daily driving the Miata while doing a clutch job on the SVTF (MD loves to dump tons of salt on the road, I like to avoid taking a black cloth top out in the winter!)
This current Spec Stg2 clutch has only been on for 60k miles. Though admittedly, I have started using my SVTF as a tow vehicle. So I suspect I've lost 10k miles in clutch life over the previous clutch due to towing bikes.
I'll be looking into a stage 1 organic, since I tow but with the Al flywheel. Crapily due to the post TSB flywheel change I now need to buy another new Al flywheel, instead of a $79 friction pack like last time!
|I had a new one from my last car that was never installed, since the guy I bought my car from didn't know if the previous owner replaced it, I want to do it before it went out. When I had the same setup on my 2003 NA,car,it wasn't as loud.
SVT Clutch replacement
I'm looking to replace my drivetrain set up, so i'm reaching out to my FF folks for suggestions. I currently have a Fidanza aluminum flywheel with the OEM clutch. The chatter is rather loud but I like how fast the engine spool up, so don't want to lose that. A buddy of mine has a South bend set up and no chatter, but pricey.
Any luck with Clutch Master, Spec or Centerforce.
Thanks for then responses.

Hello! I've literally only stumbled upon this whole TEFL world in the past week or so but I think it may be something I'm very interested in doing but I do have some questions, I apologize if they've been posted on here a thousand times already;
1. Is teflinstitute.com a reputable place to get a certificate? If not what are the best online certificates that are affordable? I live in the Seattle area, are there any around here?
2. I only have an Associates Degree in Accounting and absolutely no teaching experience (although it's something I've always thought about), do I have a decent chance at getting a job right after completing the courses and getting a certificate?
3. This may sound silly but, can you really succesfully teach English to a group that doesn't speak English and you don't speak a word of their language?
I'm just trying to figure out if this is something that's realistically worth pursuing. I more than appreciate any advice you can give! Thanks!

First-year students to discuss civility, ethics with prominent attorneys and judges
DETROIT (Aug. 11, 2010) — Wayne State University Law School first-year students soon will have the opportunity to discuss the importance of workplace civility and ethics with more than 50 prominent Detroit-area attorneys and judges. Part of orientation week, Wayne Law's inaugural Professionalism in Action program will be held at 3 – 6 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 27, 2010, at the Detroit Athletic Club.
The Professionalism in Action program was introduced by State Bar of Michigan past President Ed Pappas in 2009 and has been endorsed by the State Bar. It serves as a model for Michigan's law schools desiring to provide an opportunity for interaction between first-year law students and veteran lawyers and judges. The program emphasizes the importance of professionalism using a series of pre-selected hypothetical situations, which are discussed in small-group sessions composed of law students, lawyers and members of the judiciary.
Wayne Law's program will begin with briefing sessions for small-group leaders and will include a welcome by Wayne Law Dean Robert M. Ackerman. State Bar of Michigan President Charles Toy and Chief U.S. District Judge Gerald E. Rosen will provide remarks prior to group sessions and evaluations. The event will conclude with a reception.
Group sessions will cover issues such as duties to the profession, duties to the public, honesty and the effect of substance abuse.
"We view this program as a unique opportunity to help students begin their law school careers with a firm understanding of professional ethics," said Professor Anne M. Burr, Wayne Law director of Legal Research and Writing. "Ethics and professionalism should be central to our legal culture."
For more information about the Wayne Law Professionalism in Action program, contact Marilyn Vaughan at email@example.com or (313) 577-4822. Visit http://www.law.wayne.edu/2010orientation.php for a complete schedule of orientation week events.

Avoid "writer's agony" when writing copy for your site. Just copy/paste these copy checklist templates
Anton Sepetov
December 6, 2022
Forget reading big ass books on advertising, taking super long courses on writing, and just get down to it with this Copywriter's Checklist for instant optimization
Sumo-ling, writing isn't hard. It really isn't. You just ... write.
In fact, I could argue that ANYONE can write an Ad, sales letter, or headline. Yep it's true, anyone.
In fact, a lot of you could probably write a better letter than I could the first time around. But do you know what separates me from you?
I'm an average writer, but where I excel at is editing. And realizing that advertising isn't about being "creative", or "cute" ...
... no, advertising is about using what has been proven to work. Just basic salesmanship on paper. Repeated as many times as people read this. So when I say that ANYONE can write better copy I mean ...
Anyone Can Write Better Copy
There's a reason why headlines used in newspapers and magazine always seem to follow the same formula ... because they do follow a formula and they WORK!
So if your website could use a boost in the copywriting field, then be your own copywriter easily by following a few simple formulas.

Who's Dane Maxwell?
Oh you know, just a business owner like yourself, who figured out this whole copywriting thing for himself and found specific problems that could be holding you back from making more sales with your writing online.
He was a failed entrepreneur at 22 and got scammed out of $12,000. It's true! He admits it. Now he's a successful businessman who teaches other entrepreneurs how to build web based companies at TheFoundation.io.
He's built his business without venture capital or partners, and was able to do it because of copywriting. Yep, he built his business off words. Getting people like you and me to pay attention to the headline, get into the copy body, read all the way through, and have us throwing our wallet at the monitor, begging him to take our money.
And you can do that too! With a little help, and without spending your nights and weekends reading the massive amounts of copywriting guides online.
