Point of a Resonator?
Point of a Resonator?
I was offered to get a ubend delete and res removal for $100(canadian) and I'm thinking about taking it
will I notice any change? (I have an open cone setup right now)
but I just wanted to know whats hte point of the resonator and why remove it?
//edit oh ya, I have to go for a damn emissions test in the near future....will these 2 procedures affect me passing at all?
Here's something that may be helpful.
Exhaust/Muffler Basics 101:
Exhaust gases leave the engine under extremely high pressure. If these gases escaped directly from the engine the noise would be tremendous. For this reason, the exhaust manifold sends the gases to a muffler, which is located between the catalytic converter (if present) or exhaust manifold and the tail pipe. The muffler quiets the noise of the exhaust by "muffling" the sound waves created by the opening and closing of the exhaust valves. When an exhaust valve opens, it discharges the burned gases at high pressures into the exhaust pipe, which is at low pressure. This type of action creates sound waves that travel through the flowing gas, moving much faster than the gas itself (up to 1400 m.p.h.), that the muffler must silence. It generally does this by converting the sound wave energy into heat by passing the exhaust gas and its accompanying wave pattern, through perforated chambers of varied sizes. Passing into the perforations and reflectors within the chamber forces the sound waves to dissipate their energy. The pressure of the gases is reduced when they pass through the muffler, so they go out of the tail pipe quietly.
There are two types of muffler design. A Reverse-Flow muffler is oval-shaped and has multiple pipes. Four chambers and a double jacket are used to accomplish muffling of the exhaust noise. Exhaust gases are directed to the third chamber, forced forward to the first chamber, from where they travel the length of the muffler and are exhausted into the tail pipe. A Straight Through Muffler has a central tube, perforated with several openings which lead into an outside chamber packed with a sound absorbing (or insulating) material. As the exhaust gases expand from the perforated inner pipe into the outer chamber, they come in contact with the insulator and escape to the atmosphere under constant pressure. Because of this, the expanding chamber tends to equalize or spread the pressure peaks throughout the exhaust from each individual cylinder of the engine. This type of muffler is designed for the purpose of reducing back pressure and, consequently, makes slightly more noise.
Since a muffler cannot reduce the noise of the engine by itself, some exhaust systems also have a resonator. Resonators are like little mufflers, and are usually the "straight through" type. They are added to the exhaust system to reduce noise.
Most "performance" mufflers provide some degree of quieting, all provide improved airflow, and many look good enough to display to bystanders! However, in order to obtain or maintain a reasonable market share, some makers make claims of "increased airflow", "flows better than a straight pipe", or "10% better flow than competitor X". We have conducted extensive testing of mufflers on actual strip performance and found that with a single 2-1/2" muffler on a 12.50 vehicle, there is very little performance difference between all brands of performance mufflers. When tested with a good dual system with some type of crossover, there is almost no measurable difference between brands, providing similar sizes are compared. Static airflow will be affected by test pressure and the methods in which air is directed into and out of the muffler. Accordingly we feel that bench tested airflow on mufflers is misleading and should carry very little weight when evaluating muffler performance.
There are distinct differences in pricing, noise levels, build quality, and packaging of "performance" mufflers. Here are some general observations about mufflers:
The larger the volume in a muffler case, the quieter the muffler.
Exhaust noise is the result of two factors - the noise escaping out the tailpipes, and the noise generated by the muffler case. Round or oval mufflers produce very little case noise because there are no flat sides (other than the ends which are typically reinforced), and thus no areas to vibrate in harmony with the exhaust noise passing within the muffler. Any vibration of a flat surface will generate noise. Rectangular mufflers can generate noise which will be heard inside the car as a resonance. The use of heavy metal cases, extensive welding of the flat metal to internal components, and internal insulation can help reduce the noise produced by the case in this style of muffler. The use of stainless steel will increase the expected life, add to the cost, and produce a better looking muffler. Larger pass tubes, or larger passageways within the muffler case will always make the exhaust noisier, and may reduce back-pressure. Excessive noise is not an indication of improved performance, and reasonably quiet mufflers are not necessarily restrictive.
To summarize, when a muffler of a given pass-through size produces reasonable flow capability, slight additional flow capability probably will not be recognized by our street/strip vehicles. When shopping for a performance muffler, determine how much noise and/or tone you want, how long you expect the muffler to last, the package size you can use, whether appearance is of significant value, and finally how much money you want to spend. We feel that the average street or street/strip vehicle will not be able to measure any performance differences between the top 8 or 10 mufflers available if similar sizes are used on a good dual system.
Unfortunately not all free flow performance exhaust systems are created equal. We regularly see aftermarket systems producing less power than the standard systems they replace. Some are unpleasantly noisy, and their gasflow potantial are dismal.

nice read
Resonators are like little mufflers, and are usually the "straight through" type. They are added to the exhaust system to reduce noise.
thats really the only thing they said about resonators, so basically I'm going to be getting a different sound out of it....is it a deeper tone? Cause if its anything like those stupid fart cans I'll leave it on
I had my u-bend and res. removed about a year and a half ago and noticed a nice gain on the "butt dyno"...the exhaust was a little louder outside the car but I noticed little change on the inside. The outside sound was more of a growl than a deep tone. It's a V6 so it was probably about as deep as it was gonna get without changing mufflers. I also assure you that there was no fart can sound at all. I actually ended up replacing the stock mufflers with Dynomax Super Turbos and love the sound although there is drone inside the car and if it was any louder I would put the res back on. Anyway, I don't think you'll be disappointed a bit with having the u-bend and res removed.
There's nothing wrong with removing the resonator and it may help performance because of reduced backpressure. However, don't plan on taking a trip across country without the resonator installed. It will drive you nuts. :cool:

Histology is an image-intensive course that requires special attention to details. Dr Woodward used to say to his medical interns: "When you hear hoofbeats, think of horses not zebras." Histology, at times, intends for us to do the opposite; it asks to look for those zebras, those defining characteristics that make each tissue different.

The United States and World War I (1914–1921) for AP U.S. History (page 3)
Test your knowledge with these practice questions:
The United States and World War I (1914–1921) Review Questions for AP U.S. History
Summary: The United States was officially neutral in the first two years of World War I; in 1916, one of President Woodrow Wilson's campaign slogans was "he kept us out of war." However, America was soon drawn into this conflict on the side of the British and French against the Germans (and the Austro-Hungarians). The 1915 sinking of the British passenger ship the Lusitania infuriated many Americans, as did the publication of the Zimmerman Note, in which Germany tried to entice Mexico to go to war against the United States. In January of 1917 Germany announced a policy of unrestricted submarine warfare, and several American ships were sunk. These events caused President Wilson to call for a declaration of war against Germany. American entry into the war was a tremendous psychological lift for the British and the French. On the American home front, the government imposed unprecedented controls on the economy and on the spreading of news. The war ended with an armistice in November 1918. At the subsequent Paris Peace Conference, Wilson attempted to convince the Allies to accept his peace plan, called the "Fourteen Points." Britain and France were generally not enthusiastic about Wilson's proposals, but they did support the creation of a League of Nations. However, the League was opposed by isolationist members of the U.S. Senate, and the United States never became a member of the League. Instead, U.S. foreign policy became isolationist and remained largely so through the 1930s.
American Expeditionary Force: American force of 14,500 men that landed in France in June 1917 under the command of General John J. Pershing. Both women and blacks served in the American army during the war, although black units were segregated and usually had white officers.
War Industries Board: board that regulated American industry during World War I; it attempted to stimulate war production by allocating raw materials to factories that aided the war effort.
Committee on Public Information: agency created during the war whose mission was to spread pro-Allied propaganda through the press and through newsreels; newspapers were asked to print only articles that were helpful to the war effort.
Fourteen Points: plan for the postwar world that Woodrow Wilson brought to the Paris Peace Conference; Wilson's plan proposed open peace treaties, freedom of the seas, arms reductions, and a League of Nations. Britain and France were openly suspicious of these plans, but they supported the creation of a League of Nations.
League of Nations: The world body proposed by Woodrow Wilson as part of his 14-point peace plan. The League was created but without the participation of Germany, the Soviet Union, and the United States (isolationists in the Senate ensured that the treaty creating the League was never signed). As a result, the League remained a relatively ineffective body throughout its existence.
The American Response to the Outbreak of War
The assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand by Bosnian nationalists on June 28, 1914, set off the series of events that would lead to World War I. Tensions between European powers had been building, with almost all of the major powers undergoing rapid military buildup in the years immediately prior to 1914. These conflicts were caused by increasing nationalism throughout Europe, the competition of imperialism, and the complicated system of alliances that wove together the fates of most European nations. When the war actually began in earnest in August 1914, France, Russia, and Great Britain were the major Allied powers, while Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy made up the Central powers.
Many Americans felt deeply connected to the events of World War I, as over one-third of the American population was a first- or second-generation immigrant. However, not every American supported Great Britain and France. A large number of German immigrants lived throughout the United States. President Wilson and others personally supported the cause of the Allied powers, especially when reports of the alleged barbarism of the German soldiers in the battles of 1914 appeared in American newspapers.
On August 4, 1914, President Wilson issued an official proclamation of American neutrality in the war. Even though most Americans were sympathetic to the cause of the Allied powers, economic common sense dictated that America remain neutral; America in 1914 desired to continue to trade with both sides. After English ships interfered with American trade with Germany and German submarines interfered with American trade with England, America issued a series of diplomatic protests.
Increasing American Support for the Allied Powers
American sympathies and practical considerations dictated that American trade with the Allies increase as the war progressed. By 1916, American trade with the Central powers was down to near zero, whereas trade with the Allied powers had increased nearly 400 percent. Many who traded with Great Britain urged Washington to begin to prepare the United States for eventual war against Germany. A private National Security League was founded in late 1914 to instill patriotism in Americans and to psychologically prepare Americans for war. By the summer of 1915, Congress was taking the first steps to prepare the American army for actual combat in Europe. It should also be noted that peace movements existed in many major American cities, with women making up a large part of the membership of these organizations.
It was the actions of German U-boats that angered many Americans and caused them to favor entering the war against the "Hun." According to existing international law, if one ship were to sink another, it first had to board the ship and offer all on board "safe passage" before sinking it. The advantage a U-boat had was that it glided underwater undetected and fired at other ships without warning.
Americans were outraged when a German U-boat sank a British passenger ship, the Lusitania, in the Atlantic Ocean on May 7, 1915; all 128 Americans on board perished. President Wilson issued a strong protest, but it should be noted that the ship was carrying weapons meant to help the Allied cause (which made it technically legal for the Germans to sink the ship). In addition, Germany had placed advertisements in major American newspapers warning Americans not to travel on the ship that day.
In August, the Arabic, another passenger liner, was sunk by the Germans. President Wilson again forcefully protested; in response, the Germans issued the "Arabic pledge," in which they promised to stop sinking passenger ships without warning as long as the crews of the ships allowed the Germans to search the ships.
Official American concern about the actions of the U-boats continued. On March 24, 1916, a French ship called the Sussex was attacked by a U-boat; seven Americans on board were badly injured. The United States threatened to entirely cut diplomatic ties with Germany over this incident. In the Sussex Pledge, the Germans promised to sink no more ships without prior warning. The actions described above all caused public opinion in the United States to increasingly favor military support of the Allied powers.
America Moves Toward War
Woodrow Wilson won the 1916 presidential election over his Republican opponent Charles Evans Hughes by stating that the Republicans were the party of war. "He kept us out of war" was the popular slogan of Wilson's supporters. This was a promise, however, that Wilson could not keep for long. On January 31, 1917, Germany announced a policy of unrestricted submarine warfare, stating that any ship from any country attempting to enter the ports of Allied nations would be sunk. Historians believe that the Germans knew that eventually the United States would enter the war; by beginning this policy at this time, the Germans were gambling that they could win the war before the United States was truly involved. On February 3, Wilson officially broke off American diplomatic relations and suggested to Congress that American merchant ships be armed.
American public opinion became increasingly enraged when they heard about the Zimmermann Telegram (also called the Zimmermann Note in some textbooks). This was an intercepted message between Arthur Zimmermann, the German foreign minister, and German officials in Mexico, suggesting that when Germany went to war with the United States, the Mexicans should be persuaded to attack the United States as well. As a reward, the Mexicans would receive Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona after the United States was defeated.
Between March 16 and March 18, three more American ships were sunk by German vessels. On April 2, President Wilson formally asked Congress for a declaration of war; this declaration was enthusiastically passed the following day. Wilson was motivated to declare war by the legitimate danger to American shipping that existed and by his belief that American entry into the war would help shorten it. Some critics claim that American arms makers exerted pressure to persuade Wilson to get involved in the war.
America Enters the War
By the time the Americans entered the war in April of 1917, the English and the French were desperate for American assistance. The Russian army had suffered crushing defeats since 1916, and the removal of the tsar from power in March of 1917 threw into doubt the entire Russian commitment to the war effort. Without Russia in the war, the Germans could place virtually their entire army in the western front.
The initial American Expeditionary Force that landed in France in June 1917 under the command of General John J. Pershing consisted of 14,500 men; its main psychological effect was to help boost the morale of the Allies. Volunteers were recruited to serve in the army, but a Selective Service Act was passed in May 1917. The ages of those originally drafted were between 21 and 30; this was later extended to between 17 and 46.
Both women and blacks were in the armed forces during the war. Some 11,500 women served, primarily as nurses and clerks, and over 400,000 blacks served. Black units were kept segregated and almost always had white officers.
American shipping to Europe became increasingly disrupted by German U-boats after the formal American declaration of war. Starting in May 1917, all American shipping to Europe traveled in a convoy system. The navy developed special torpedo boats that were able to destroy submarines. These techniques drastically decreased the damage done by German U-boats and other ships; only two troop transports were sunk from this point onward, and losses suffered by the merchant marine were much fewer.
The Impact of the American Expeditionary Force
The size of the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) expanded to over 2 million by November of 1918, and they were definitely needed. Lenin and the Bolsheviks took over in Russia in November of 1917 and pulled the Russians out of the war. With only one front to worry about, by March of 1918, the Germans had almost all of their troops on the western front, and were less than 50 miles from Paris in early June.
American soldiers played a major role in preventing the Germans from taking Paris. The Americans held firm at the Battle of Chateau-Thierry, preventing the Germans from crossing the Marne and advancing toward Paris. Americans were also involved in a major offensive against the Germans in July and decisively defeated the Germans at the Battle of St. Mihiel. Over 1 million AEF forces took part in the final Meuse-Argonne Offensive of late September 1918, which cut the supply lines of the German army and convinced the German general staff that victory was impossible.
The armistice ending the war was signed on November 11, 1918. Nearly 115,000 Americans died in this war, a mere pittance compared to the nearly 8 million European soldiers who died in battle. American military heroes from World War I included fighter pilot Eddie Rickenbacker and Corporal Alvin York, who single-handedly shot 32 German soldiers and captured another 132.
The Home Front During World War I
Despite the fact that America was far removed from the physical fighting of World War I, much had to be done to prepare America for the war effort. Americans were encouraged to buy Liberty Bonds to support the war; movie stars of the era such as Charlie Chaplin made speeches and short films extolling the virtues of Liberty Bonds.
Poor harvests in 1916 and 1917 made it necessary to regulate food production and consumption during the war years. In August 1917, Congress passed the Lever Food and Fuel Control Act; almost immediately, the government began to regulate food consumption. The Food Administration was headed by future president Herbert Hoover, who attempted to increase production and decrease consumption. Hoover's approach to problems was centered around voluntary cooperation, as "Wheatless Mondays" and "Meatless Tuesdays" became commonplace. Harvests greatly improved in 1918 and 1919 as well. The introduction of daylight saving time allowed farmers more time in the evenings to work in the fields and also served to save electricity.
Industry was also regulated by the War Industries Board, headed by Wall Street financier Bernard Baruch. This board attempted to stimulate production for the war effort by strictly allocating raw materials and by instituting strict production controls. A Fuel Administration also acted to preserve coal and gasoline; "Fuelless Mondays" and "Gasless Sundays" also existed in 1917 and 1918.
Some historians make the point that World War I was actually the high point of progressivism. The government regulated the economy in positive ways that could have only been dreamed about in the days of Theodore Roosevelt. Business leaders loudly claimed they were supporting the war effort (many of them were). As a result, the Sherman Antitrust Laws were largely forgotten during World War I.
Keeping America Patriotic
Another new agency created in 1917 was the Committee on Public Information, headed by George Creel. The job of this agency was to spread anti-German and pro-Allied propaganda through newsreels and lectures, and through the cooperation of the press. Germans were portrayed as beastlike Huns wherever possible. Liberty Leagues were established in communities across America; members of these organizations were encouraged to report suspicious actions by anyone (especially foreigners) to their local authorities. George Creel asked newspapers to voluntarily censor themselves and to print only articles that would be helpful to the war effort.
A fine line between patriotism and oppression existed during much of World War I. The National Security League convinced Congress to insist on a literacy test for all new immigrants. German language instruction, German music, and even pretzels were banned in some cities. In April 1918, a German-born American citizen was lynched outside of St. Louis; ironically, an investigation found that he had recently attempted to enlist in the American navy.
Most Americans felt they were fighting the war to help the spread of democracy, yet many critics lamented some of the actions taken by the government during the war era. The 1917 Espionage Act made it illegal to obstruct the draft process in any way and stated that any material that was sent through the mail that was said to incite treason could be seized. The Sedition Act of 1918 stated that it was illegal to criticize the government, the Constitution, the U.S. Army, or the U.S. Navy. Prominent socialist Eugene Debs received a 3-year prison term for speaking against militarism; movie producer Robert Goldstein was even sentenced to 3 years in prison for showing the Americans fighting the British in a Revolutionary War film. Radical labor unions such as the IWW were also harassed during the war years. Over 1000 Americans were found guilty of violations of either the Espionage Act or the Sedition Act.
The war did provide a measure of social mobility for blacks and women. With large numbers of men fighting in Europe and no immigrants entering the country, northern factories needed workers, and encouraged blacks to move north to take factory jobs. This move north was called the Great Migration; during the war, nearly 600,000 blacks moved north. Many women were able to find jobs on farms or in factories for the very first time during the war. After the war, men would replace them in the labor market and force them to return to the "women's sphere."
Woodrow Wilson and the Treaty of Versailles
The Paris Peace Conference began on January 12, 1919, and had the very difficult task of creating lasting European peace. The conference was dominated by the "Big Four": the representatives of England, France, Italy (which had switched sides in the middle of the war), and the United States.
Woodrow Wilson was treated as a hero when he arrived in Paris, yet it was obvious in the initial sessions of the peace conference that the leaders of the victorious countries had very different goals. The suffering of England and especially France during the war was horrific; the goal of the French delegation was clearly to punish Germany as much as possible. Woodrow Wilson, on the other hand, came to France supporting his Fourteen Points, which called for open peace treaties, freedom of the seas, free trade, arms reduction, a gradual reduction of colonial claims, and some sort of a world organization to ensure peace. Wilson's plan was coolly received in France; the French, as stated previously, were mainly interested in what they could get out of the Germans. It was also coolly received in the United States by those who were opposed to continued American involvement in European affairs.
Wilson's Fourteen Points were largely opposed by the other members of the Big Four. Wilson called for a reduction of colonial claims: England and France had every intention of taking Germany's colonies after the war. When the treaty was finally signed, Wilson got only a fraction of what he initially wanted. Germany was held responsible for the war and was made to pay reparations. The League of Nations was created, although initially without Germany and the Bolshevik-led Soviet Union. Wilson believed that this was the most important of the Fourteen Points, so he did not leave Paris totally discouraged.
The United States and the Middle East
During the initial two decades of the twentieth century, the United States became increasingly interested in Middle Eastern affairs. Theodore Roosevelt brokered a settlement to the Moroccan crisis between France and Germany in 1905–1906 (both countries desired to be dominant in the region: the conference eventually supported French claims in the region). It was World War I, however, that drew the attention of many in the United States, including President Woodrow Wilson, to the region.
Turkey joined the war on the side of the Central powers (Germany and Austria- Hungary) in late 1914, thus causing the war to spread to the Middle East. The Ottoman Empire, which controlled much of what we call the "Middle East" today, had been gradually collapsing for over a century. World War I completed this collapse. Residents of the Ottoman Empire, including Jews, suffered from disease and famine during the war. To support the Jews in the region, many Jews in the United States gave moral and financial backing to various factions of the Zionist movement, which was dedicated to creating a homeland in Palestine for Jews from around the world (the Zionist movement had its origins in Europe in the nineteenth century). In 1917, the British issued the Balfour Declaration, which supported, at least in principle, the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine. President Wilson announced his support of this policy.
The tragedy of the Armenian Massacre also caused many in the United States to become more interested in Middle Eastern affairs. Caught up in the war between the Turks and the Russians, the Armenians revolted in 1915 against the Turks, who had occupied their homeland. The Turks brutally suppressed this uprising, with thousands of Armenians being executed (to this day, the Turks have failed to take responsibility for this event). American missionaries and aid workers were already present in Armenia (Armenians were Christians), and some of these Americans witnessed the slaughter.
In 1916 and 1917, there were countless rallies organized by Armenian immigrants and church organizations in the United States to protest the killing of the Armenians and to raise money for Armenian relief efforts.
At the end of the war, Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points called for the breakup of the Austro-Hungarian and the Ottoman Empires and stated that residents of these areas should be encouraged to move towards "autonomous political development." At the same time, in the immediate aftermath of World War I, the British and the French sought to increase their colonial holdings in the region. The Paris Peace Conference authorized the United States to establish the King-Crane Commission, whose members went into areas that the Europeans were trying to control to determine what political structure the residents of these areas desired.
The King-Crane Commission found that many in the region wanted independence; if that could not be attained, almost all were opposed to French or British control. If anyone was going to have a mandate over the region, public opinion said it should be the Americans, who were seen as having no desire to exploit the people or the lands of the region. The commission recommended against the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine, since vast numbers of non-Jews already living in Palestine would have to be displaced to establish this state. The commission supported the creation of a single state in the region that would be under the control of the Americans. Predictably, the British and the French saw to it that this report was never formally presented at the Paris Peace Conference, as it was directly against their interests. In the end, the Balfour Declaration was issued, the British received mandates over Palestine, Iraq, and Transjordan, France received mandates over Syria and Lebanon, and the only country to experience "self-determination" was Saudi Arabia, which was given independence.
The Treaty of Versailles and the United States Senate
Woodrow Wilson had not appointed a Republican member of the Senate in the United States delegation to the Paris Peace Conference. This proved to be a huge political mistake. Wilson returned from Paris, needing Senate confirmation of the Treaty of Versailles. Many Republicans in the Senate had huge reservations about the treaty; all of them centered around American commitment to the League of Nations. A dozen senators were "irreconcilables," opposed to American membership in the League under any circumstances. Another large group, led by Henry Cabot Lodge, were called "reservationists" and wanted restrictions on American membership in the League. Lodge, for example, wanted it stated that the Congress would have to approve any American action on behalf of the League, and that provisions of the Monroe Doctrine remain in place even if the League of Nations opposed them.
To win national support for the Versailles Treaty, Wilson began a national speaking tour on September 3, 1919. On October 2, he suffered a severe stroke and never totally recovered. Lodge stated that he would support passage of the Versailles Treaty with certain reservations; Wilson rejected the reservations, and the treaty never got the two-thirds majority necessary for its passage. Many politicians both at home and abroad urged Wilson to compromise with congressional leaders and to get America into the League of Nations. Wilson was never willing to do this; his chief biographer maintains that his stroke impeded his judgment during this era. In 1921, the United States formally ended the war with Germany, but the United States never entered the League of Nations.

Florence Littauer
|Florence Littauer
|Author, speaker
|Notable works
|Personality Plus
Florence Littauer is a Christian self-help author and public speaker. Littauer is best known for her series of books based upon the Personality Plus personality system.[1] She was listed as one of Helen K. Hosier's "100 Christian Women Who Changed the Twentieth Century" and has received the National Speakers Association's Council of Peers Award for Excellence and has been designated by them as a Certified Speaking Professional.[2][3]
Littauer grew up in her father's store in Haverhill, Massachusetts, with her sharing three rooms with her family. She attended the University of Massachusetts on a scholarship,[4] where she received a Bachelor's degree in English with a minor in psychiatry.[5] Littauer met her husband Fred Chapman met at a Jewish day camp for girls, with the two becoming engaged about a year later.[6] The wedding was covered by Life Goes to a Wedding and the two have had four children together. Their third child, Fred Jr, died from issues related to seizures he suffered during his infancy and their fourth child, Larry, suffered from a brain disorder and was institutionalized.[6][7] During this time Littauer suffered depression, which continued until she met Roy Gustafson, a member of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Team.[5] From this meeting Littauer and her husband began a ministry, a public speaking business, and a series of religious themed books.[8]
Personality Plus[edit]
Littauer, along with her husband, developed the personality profile system Personality Plus. She first began looking into personality groups as a way of trying to explain the differences in personality between herself and her husband.[2] The Littauers based the system off of Hippocrates's theory of the Four Temperaments. The system classifies the four personality groups of "Choleric", "Melancholy", "Sanguine", and "Phlegmatic". Unlike Hippocrates's system, Littauer stated that individuals could be made up of several personality types rather than to just be classified into one.[9]
Personality groups[edit]
- Cholerics are considered to be leader and commander types, being dominant, strong, decisive, and occasionally arrogant. They tend to be good leaders because they are driven to get things done, however they might offend some people along the way. Cholerics are also known as the "POWERFUL" type. Some famous examples are Oprah Winfrey, Dr. Phil, Phil Donahue, Donald Trump, Bill Gates and Bill O'Reilly.
- Melancholy personality types are described by Littauer to be the mental types, with their personality displaying a strong emphasis on thinking, evaluation, and assessment. Their typical behaviour involves thinking, assessing, making lists, evaluating the positives and negatives, and general analysis of facts. They love maps, charts and graphs. They are usually the most intelligent of the four types, however they tend to dwell on details. A Melancholy is a planner, making sure things happen, although sometimes they can paralyze themselves with over-analysis. Lists and "doing things the right way" are characteristics of this personality type. Melancholies are also known as the "Perfect" type. Some famous examples are Hillary Clinton, Ernest Hemingway, Vincent Van Gogh and Beethoven.
- Sanguines are a social personality type, displaying characteristics such as a predisposition to socialize and entertain. They enjoy fun, socializing, chatting, telling stories - and are fond of promising the world, because that's the friendly thing to do. A Sanguine gets on well with people and can get others excited about issues, but cannot always be relied upon to get things done. They love interacting with others and play the role of the entertainer or center of attention in group interactions. They have a tendency to over-promise and under-deliver. Sanguines are also known as the "Popular" type. Some famous examples are Bill Clinton, Robin Williams, Kelly Ripa and Richard Simmons.
- Phlegmatics are described as having a flat-type personality, being laid back and desiring a peaceful environment above all else. They are easy going, laid back, nonchalant, unexcitable and relaxed. Desiring a quiet and peaceful environment above all else. They tend not to actively upset people, but their indifference may frustrate people. They try not to make decisions, and generally go for the status quo. They are good as mediators because they don't usually have many enemies. They also have a "dry" and quick sense of humor. Phlegmatics are also known as the "Peaceful" type. Some famous examples are Calvin Coolidge, Tim Duncan, Sandy Koufax, and Keanu Reeves.
None of these types is specifically described as being positive or negative. They each have upsides and downsides. The characteristics are for observing and identifying, rather than judging.

Brennan's parting shot The 'for the children' lie
Anyone who has paid close attention to the way the school system functions could have reached this conclusion independently. The bureaucracy and the employee unions are brazenly self-interested, while the school board tends to bow to the political pressure brought by the well-organized and obstreperous unions. The trick, though, is that no one ever actually admits this. Until Brennan spoke at a Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce event last week.

Horrible school. Class sizes are too big and students get lost in the mix. I pulled my children and all three are much happier!
I enrolled 2 of my children here. Everything about the school is excellent. Not only is it a great education but also very Catholic.
Sister Ellen is an on task principal. She always knows what shes doing. She is also very kind. Thank you Sr. Ellen
I enrolled 3 of my children, and I can say with absolute conviction this is one of the worst schools I have ever known. The focus of this school is on mindless discipline, not of learning or creativity. If I hadn't worked so hard to teach my children how to learn, they would have graduated like all other St. Joan's alumni - just focused on memorization not on learning. The only reason two of them stayed until 8th grade was because of the religious education. I pulled out my youngest just in time. This is a truly awful school.
A wonderful school with an exceptional faculty and staff.Children are well prepared for success when they leave for high school.

One of the upcoming prospects in the Pacific Northwest is 6-foot-7 power forward Robert Franks from Evergreen High School in Vancouver, Wash.
While most people know Franks for his ridiculous off-balance buzzer beater in a high school game this season (watch here), Franks is garnering a lot of interest from schools on the west coast, including two WCC schools.
Franks, who is a three-star prospect according to Scout.com, is a budding prospect that oozes potential. With a 7-foot wingspan and a solid inside-outside game according to Scout.com, Franks could be a nice future piece for a host of teams.
I touched base with Franks about his recruitment, among other things.
What AAU Team are you playing for?
Northwest Panthers
Do you have any upcoming tournaments that are on your radar?
We have one in July.
You hit a ridiculous buzzer beater shot against Camas this past season that turned into an internet sensation. Can you recount the experience as you caught the full-court pass and put it in the bucket?
I honestly didn't know it was going to go in. When it went in, I was kind of surprised and shocked but I was happy I made it.
What schools are showing you the most interest right now?
Washington State, Portland, Boise State, Gonzaga and Portland State.
What offers do you currently hold?
Portland and Portland State.
How did your high school season go at Evergreen?
It went pretty well. We should have went further in the playoffs, but we had a pretty good year.
What's the best player you have had to matchup against this AAU season so far?
Dennis Smith Jr. (5-star point guard from Fayetteville, NC)
Do you have any upcoming visits planned?
I'm visiting Washington State for a camp soon.
Do you see anything materializing with the new coaching staff at Washington State are do you see an offer coming?
I like the coaching staff. I think an offer will come soon.
I know Portland is one of your only offers right now. Can you touch on your recruiting with them; which coaches are talking to you and how often?
Coach [Eric] Jackson is talking to me about five times out of the week. He wants me to come to campus every time I'm free.
Would it interest you to go to a school that close so your friends and family can see you play?
It would, but at the same time I want to go somewhere PAC-12.
What about Gonzaga? What coaches are talking to you and how often are they talking to you?
Coach [Brian] Michaelson from Gonzaga is talking to me about once a week or once a month.
A fun question to wrap things up: if you had to compare yourself to an NBA player who would it be and why?
I would say Kevin Love. Because we both have an outside shot, we can both post up, and we both can dribble as bigs.

Pargo scored 12 points in just 22 minutes Saturday against the Suns, though he shot the ball poorly, making 5 of his 12 attempts from the field. He did add six assists and one rebound, while turning the ball over three times in a 105-95 loss.
Pargo has appeared in 16 games this season, seven of which have come since Walker's injury. He is averaging 10.6 points per game over the last six games.
He played 12 minutes and provided a solid punch off the bench Wednesday against the Clippers, in a 95-91 win. He scored 11 points on 5 of 8 shooting in his limited minutes, with one 3-pointer, two assists, one steal and one rebound in the win.
Pargo has scored double-digit points in consecutive games since seeing his role increase. He will likely remain the team's primary backup to Ramon Sessions for as long as Walker is out.

Core Signs of Narcissism Disorder – An Explanatory List and Warning
The long original article I wrote on narcissism and psychopathy is here: http://eternian.wordpress.com/2010/03/16/psychopaths-sociopaths-narcissists.
Narcissists are
1. Self-obsessed/self-centered/love themselves far above others. They love to talk about themselves when they are in a good mood and to someone who they think approves of their character. They have little interest in the personal lives of most people unless it's some famous person they want attention from or someone they are interested in manipulating/taking advantage of or controlling. This self-worship is expressed/shows itself in various ways all or most of which is summarized in the rest of this list. A self-centered person is obviously going to be a stingy/tight-fisted person too (which is another sign of a narcissist).
2. Attention-craving. Narcissists act and speak in a way that shows an extreme desire to have direct attention. This behavior can be displayed in many ways including opposing ways. Examples: acting hyper; complaining about personal problems real or not/pretending to have problems like perpetual debt, addictions or something hard to disprove like "gender dysphoria"; endless talking; making odd sounds even fake snoring; making strange body movements', unfriendly behavior; flattering a person; trying to befriend everyone and anyone; being overbearing/trying to be around someone often despite it annoying that person.
3. Inappropriately control-seeking. Narcissists, because they are arrogant, callous and self centered a narcissist will also be very controlling of others bossy, pushy, busy-bodies/nosy, especially towards people they dislike and are living with, failing to be polite in the way they may desire, like asking you to say "please" yet they themselves failing to do so. They will sometimes speak in a demanding or offending way even if you've done nothing wrong, and likely accusing you of doing something wrong if you take visible offense at them bossing you around. In a way, this is their way of taking their anger out on a person to make themselves feel better, trying to make themselves feel in control, superior and satisfying some desire for revenge on someone who hurt them, even decades ago.
4. Very prideful. Their pride causes arrogant behavior and boasting. They consider themselves to be better than everyone else, and some may feel or say that they are equal to God or are God. This dwelling on themselves with a false image of their greatness helps quell and mask the bitterness in them. This helps the narcissist to survive in that they are not preoccupied as much with bitterness and hate but on how great they are and may become and how inferior others are. Narcissists are more likely to praise themselves than the average person. In one example, my father, who has NPD, once sent me an email when I used an email he was unfamiliar with. He didn't realize it was me at all, and his first reply without anything else said, was to tell me about books he had written. There was no explanation as to why he did this other than to impress a stranger and perhaps in his own humorous way. Regardless, what he did was extremely weird and the tone of his reply was not humorous, but serious. He never explained why he replied the way he did, and it was so awkward I didn't want to embarrass him, so didn't ask.
5. Generally uncaring and unconcerned about the experiences of others that have no positive focus on them (the narcissist). Narcissists are cold to the suffering and hurt feelings of others or possibility of such, and therefore makes rude, insulting and annoying speech and actions. A narcissist, when expressing sorrow even, does it in a way that often shows insincerity or a very low amount of sorrow and regret. They also have a very low interest in the positive experience of others, and any interest they do express is pretense or a really (and they may not realize this themselves) interest in what they personally feel but expressed through talking about what others have said or done which is in agreement with their feelings and beliefs.
6. Immature. Narcissists don't seem to advance in maturity beyond the age of sixteen or even younger, so, to those who especially get to know one, may notice that they retain a naive and simple view of the world and so are shallow, not thinking about anything deep, at least for long. They may get into a little philosophy or have some deep understanding of criminal mindedness but they don't get far and never get deep into logic or morality. Though they may say logic and morality are important and good morals and logic a backbone of a good life and civilization, they have poor moral control and fling off logic when they feel they can get away with it, and often their judgement as to whether or not they can get away with something is wrong due to their constant focus on their self and not paying attention to the words, actions and visible feelings of others enough. They are like children around or under the age of twelve with adult intelligence and know-how (not that all narcissists have a normal IQ, some are surely stupid). Narcissist delight in immature brutish jokes or what most moral and sober people would consider unfunny, unfunny even to most kids. Being immature, narcissists are also
7. Extremely stubborn towards/resistant to correction and rebuke. Some say that past age 16 the narcissists narcissism becomes a permanent part of their personality, so then expect a narcissist to be impossible to change and stubbornly repeating the same mistakes even after having a moment of guilt and sorrow over something they did that they realized was very morally wrong.
8. Bad-tempered. Narcissists always have bitterness in them no matter how much happiness they show and whatever happiness they do show is always meshed with that bitterness. They will have fits of rage when they feel they are being greatly ignored or violated in some way, especially by someone they hate, which would be someone who consistently corrects or rebukes them for their bad speech and acts. So, they are more easily annoyed than the average person, more irritable. In my opinion, narcissists seem to especially hate being talked over even if what they have to say is very obvious and you're letting them know that to speed up an argument or conversation. I'm not saying that a narcissist won't tolerate some annoyance or will immediately get upset, as the general mood they are in will determine how fast and what the topic is, if it is a big deal to them or not.8
9. Hypocritical and contradictory. For example a wealthy or poor narcissist may say that everyone should be generous with what they have, including those in extreme poverty, yet the narcissist will themselves be stingy.
10. Absurdly paranoid. A narcissist isn't merely fearful, but has absurd fears, irrational ones. For example a narcissist may repeatedly check for some problem that is very unlikely and of little imortance even if likely and neglecting other things of much more importance to show concern about, such as showing more concern for a cheap and common gift they bought over the person they bought it for.
11. Often irrational in their requests. This is often due to their not finding the feelings and actions of others to be important or misreading the feelings and behaviors of others.
12. Rarely content, unappeasable, thankless/unthankful. Though you can get a narcissist to be happy about something you did that they wanted you to do, they will always feel you fall short regardless of any praise they give you. For example though you live with one and wash their dishes for them and yourself, they will, when they fail to do their fair share, think not to do them themselves but rather to make a rule that "we must read" the narcissist may say, which is that, "The dishes must be immediately washed after using them" to make sure that YOU keep doing them so that they are free of that burden. In a way, by doing that, they show their lack of thanks for the voluntary kindness of their dishes being washed. In a narcissist's world, even if you say, "Please," with complete politeness and love, you may come across to them as "demanding" and "snappy" and they may say so in your face.
13. Frequently depressed (nearly unable to experience pleasure, deep interest or happiness due to extreme sadness) or melancholic (often in a generally sad mood). Narcissists are often deeply sad after their moments of happiness which is due to their extreme dissatisfaction with their life. The more a narcissist has going for them, the less sad they may seem, but one with little, beauty, intelligence, money or talent will naturally have more to be sad over. The older a narcissist gets the more worn out, as with anyone, and with that the more sad a narcissist will become as they see and realize they are losing their strength and approaching death.ll
14. Gullible. Their gullibility manifests when they are flattered by someone who they haven't been insulted by or who they don't find to be personally offensive, however flattering a narcissist doesn't always get them to be kind to you, in fact inflating their pride can get them to become even more callous towards you. In general however flattering a narcissist can cause them to assume that what you say is true unless it goes against some deeply held beliefs they have other than their superiority to all others or right to do whatever they want to due to their accomplishments, imagined or not or sufferings, real or not.
15. More immoral than the average person. Narcissists will tend to be more immoral than most people, more likely to assume, argue before listening, steal, have malicious thoughts, say malicious things, feel jealousy, commit adultery, lie about very important subjects, murder. Narcissists have poor morals because they were raised in such a way to believe they are so important that moral laws are not as important as them having a happy life and due to their low amount of conscience to help them feel when they are doing wrong.
16. Almost always lacking in shame, expressions of guilt. That lack is due to a narcissist's lack of a healthy conscience, regard for good morals and their alternate twisted morals and logic. Narcissists also often shift blame almost entirely on others and so feeling guilt is also avoided that way. Some narcissists, at least for a show, will plenty however blame themselves for some mess up, or say that they are stupid or feel stupid over some big blunder, especially in front of someone they want help from. They do this for the reason anyone else would, and that is to not appear to be so oblivious as to be like an insane person that should be ignored no matter what they say and so as they or others would conclude, therefore unworthy of attention and help.
A Warning
I'm not arrogant, just the opposite, but having "lived on the streets" on and off for many years due to bad neighbors, thieves, and police harassment, I've gotten to become well acquainted with the various street people. I can tell you that most, literally most of them are entirely useless and an economic drain on the country. Most seem to have narcissism disorder and a few are schizophrenic or both, seeing things that aren't there and acting like they are special and have something great going on in their life despite hanging out around McDonald's or Jack in the Box all day and night and wherever the hell it is they go to sleep, often some abandoned house, and annoying other homeless people, and me, who doesn't do drugs and hardly drinks, for money and acting hostile if I don't give it to them. They are ungrateful hypocrites and thieves who act righteous. There is one who is talented, but his addiction seems to majorly hamper him.
There should be, and I would not at all mind being one, psychological police who go out and spend time investigating the lives of these people, not making an instant judgement, but getting witness testimony from that of "friends and family" and even enemies to get an accurate portrait of these people, so they can be locked up forever in a mental institution where they will stop annoying and draining people. I can't hardly find a place to rest without smelling urine and feces in the "peaceful" spots that you'd think would be such but are not because of these evil morons. We all started out sinless, and yes, some of us were abused, or many and some raised so horribly by our parents or adoption agencies that we turn out irredeemably rotten, at least after a certain year of no return. I'd say if after 21 a person is clearly schizophrenic to institutionalize them till it goes away, but if a narcissist or psychopath or some combination, forever. They aren't all merely thieves, some of them are violent, and as history shows, will commit mass murders and kidnappings against countries they rule, example: China, North Korea and the former Soviet Union.
Avoid a narcissist, you may end up dead through some accident caused by a narcissist preoccupied with his grand delusions and attention-seeking or from his or her fit of rage.

You only described narcissists here, not psychopaths. Psychopaths don't want attention.
February 14, 2014 at 1:59 PM
A narcissist is an insecure bully that has no interest in love or sex and only uses people for attention and social status. A psychopath will act like a charming nice guy to his victims in order to get whatever it is he wants from them. Narcissists are usually religious people holding powerful jobs and are the victims of an abusive youth where their father may have left them are their mother neglected them (hence why they seek attention above all else). A psychopath is more likely to use people for things like sex, money, and entertainment. A psychopath is not insecure about their worth in society like a narcissist is. Some people are both narcissists and psychopaths, ironically called narcissistic psychopaths. Also, I think a psychopath is born evil due to an impaired amygdala (a lobe in the brain) while a sociopath loses their empathy for others from childhood bullying and abuse.

I am just going to say it. I have been with my husband for 15 years and I can not longer take it. He fits everything spoken of a narcissist. He is very ill. I do not know what to do.

My mother (the most narcissistic creature I have personally known) is now on an atheist high horse. It is her most recent way of getting attention. Mocking Christians is one of her hobbies, along with watching "stupid people" on reality TV. This atheism passion quickly followed a brief, intense claim to be Buddhist. I'm not sure what is next for her–possibly the loony bin.

My brother who I haven't seen for many years, he was a bit lazy and didn't care much about anything. I purchased some property with my mom's help and he's very angry at me for doing so well. He ha become a full fledged narcissist. My father was one too, my late father. I'm soshocked to see that all the narcisitic traits encarnated so well and are amplified in him. I always purposefully sought to be night and day from my father BC he caused us to suffer greatly during childhood. But my younger brother seems to purposefully be like dad and much worse. I'm still in shock and don't know what to think. I used to get into big email arguments with him. Now I've toned it down.. But I'm stillin awe of it all. They do not respond well to advice or correction. He does seem like he does not have a conscience. I confronted him about frequenting prostitutes and doing one night stands. The amazing part is that he never came out to say he does not do it. Rather he questioned my sexuality. I explained to him, you know ladies for most part will not hire prostitutes. I was invited to chippendale once but turned it down cause I think it's disgusting. We are disputing some properties we own and he wants to make me destitute. My mom unwittingly cooperates. I'm like, have everyone gone out of their minds… I do have a generous income so these days I'm not hung up at all. See what happens. I feel bad BC deep down I do care about him.

And, are you asking us if you could be pregnant without asking us?
so lately i have been feeling sick to my stomach after i eat. i get nausiated and feel like i want to throw up. and most of the time its accompanied by bad headaches
And, are you asking us if you could be pregnant without asking us?
Could be a food sensitivity too. Or a virus. What do you think is going on?
We can only learn to love by loving. - Iris Mudoch, British writer
I agree with WC...or you're coming down with the flu...
I also get some seriously stupid symptoms before and after my period...Sometimes its here and I dont even know it...Other times I get bruises in odd places or I get massive headaches...Sometimes I have all the symptoms of an allergy attack and then it just ends up being my period...Sometimes I have no appetite...other times I cant do anything BUT eat...
The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone to blame it on. - Robert Bloch
Well i have been trying to get pregnant.. taking folic acid and whatnot. and trying my best to keep myself healthy. and eating right. lately at work it has been worse. i usually work 8-5's all week long. and around mid day is when i eat.. like 1ish. inside where i work they always have the stupid airconditioning turned on sooo cold it makes me feel sick to my stomach. i am not sure if thats what could be causing it.. but i do also feel sick after i eat when i am at home too. and i usually eat all the same things i have been eating for the past how many years...
So you don't eat breakfast? You wait until 12pm? I can't eat then either and feel sick if I didn't eat breakfast, maybe your body is changing and demanding something in the morning? Could you try toast?
And, if you have been trying to get pregnant, are you on schedule for your period or late?
That's your problem right there - You don't eat breakfast. And when you finally do around mid day, your body doesn't respond to it well. I'm into the habit of starving myself too - for one, because I have some personal issues that I'm dealing with, and number 2, because I want drop a few pounds. I am happy with how I seem to be losing so much weight in such a short period of time, but eating now becomes too difficult. Your headaches might be caused by lack of nutrition, too.
I strongly suggest that you eat heavy breakfast (it's true that breakfast is the most important meal of the day) and at night time, eat much much less. Of course, there's got to be lunch in between and some light snacks, too.
sorry no i do eat breakfast, i usually eat breakfast around 7 am.and i eat like a pig.. i eat a big breakfast big lunch an a light dinner. and lately my periods have been a bit odd.. sometimes they come late or come early.. they are very light, and sometimes barely anything at all.. i got my last period August 26th. and that was a bit of a heavy one because of the cryosurgery i had. i have taken pregnancy tests last month as well, and all of them came back negatif. i am curious if i could be pregnant this month, havent taken a test yet b/c i think it might be too early.. when is the earliest i can take one?
There is one that you can take, I think, 5 days before your period is supposed to start. EPT I believe.

May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the crotch of the person who screws up your day and may their arms be too short to scratch.
Whoever said anything was possible obviously never tried slamming a revolving door.
It could also be iron deficiency if you have having strange periods and a heavy one last month...
It does affect us as far as feeling sick goes.

heater fan/blower replacement
I have a 2005 outback wagon. the heater fan/blower is going out I am wondering how difficult is this to replace and what does it involve, what is the cost for the unit and is it one piece or multiple pieces, I am looking at just replacing the motor or the fan and motor

If the fan is squealing its needs the motor replaced, simply because they are a non serviceable part.
If the fan operates on any one fan speed, the problem is not the motor, but the switch, but more likely the blower resistor.
The fan motor spins at high speed when fed a full 12 volts. To get the lower speeds, a multi stage blower resistor cuts the voltage down in steps, for each of the slower fan speeds. So, if your fan still works at any speed, then the motor is good, but the resistor may not be. Its very common for them to go, regardless of whose make of car it is. Sometimes the contacts in the switch go bad at one or more settings also.
To find out, remove the glove box and the lower panel below the glove box, on the passenger side. Dead centre of the blower motor housing is a 2 pin connector that powers the motor. Pull it and apply 12 volts from a battery to the pins and see if the motor spins at full speed. (Obviously, this isn't necessary if you already know that the motor operates.)
Follow that wiring harness you removed back to another 4 pin connector. Its the blower resistor. Two screws remove it, if its the culprit. An easy fix for sure. You can check it out to see if its giving the correct resistance across its 4 pins. If you get to this stage and need more info, send me a PM and I'll send you the service manual page for checking it out. Good Luck!

To access the motor:
Remove the plastic panel directly under the glovebox. It just has three plastic push pins holding it on. The motor itself is now visible towards the right side, by the kickpanel. Remove it's plastic power plug. The motor is held in by three screws. The screws can be removed with a screwdriver or a socket. I would recommend the later since they will strip easy, and they are in awkward positions. The motor will now just drop out. Super easy compared to most vehicles, and even previous year suby's. Takes less than 10 minutes.
An new motor can be had here: https://www.subaruonlineparts.com/oe...d8c118995da72e
It ran me $147 including shipping.
Definitely do as others suggest and check the cabin filter. When I bought my car used, it looked as if the filter had never been changed. There was a solid inch of dirt and debris on the filter. I'm sure that contributed to the problem.
