The picture above is representation of GY6 wiring diagram. The picture can be right clicked on and saved to your computer to view as a large picture file. This is just intended as a guide or example wiring diagram of a GY6 engine. This diagram was used because of the CDI that has two plug ins. Notice the black/white stripe wire into the CDI and that wire can be traced to the ignition switch and the handlebar kill switch. It is this wire that is disconnected for trouble-shooting any NO-SPARK engine. By disconnecting said wire, you will eliminate the switches and re-test for spark at spark plug. There is only three items that control engine spark and they are the ignitor or stator magneto, the CDI and the COIL. Again find the kill wire coming from CDI running to switches and disconnect switches from the kill circuit for easy testing of the ignition components listed above.

can't do? Just when you thought the world had exhausted all possibilities for Nintendo's oh-so-versatile controller, along comes the crew at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center to prove otherwise. Programmed to operate with BigBen -- PSC's 4,000 processor, 21-teraflop Cray XT3 supercomputing system -- the Wiimote was seen controlling a round of Buckyball Bowling, which just might be the nerdiest (that's a compliment, ya know) title for a game to date. Additionally, it was suggested that the WiiMD technology could eventually "offer scientists an easily usable tool to gain insight into simulations," and moreover, provide "an entertaining educational outreach tool to help interest students in biology, chemistry and physics." Man, lecturing is so last year.

How do you plan to pee in the military, ladies?Arroyo Grande

One thing I would like to know about women in combat, please.
I thought of my time in combat in Korea. Just a few questions: Why was my helmet called a piss-pot? Where do you potty in a foxhole, revetment, or bunker, and what do you do for toilet paper? How often do you take a shower and where? Even in our rest area, the "outhouse" had four holes in a board over some barrels, and there was no privacy as I sat alongside a guy only a foot away from me.
Let's see now, um, how will that work?

I stayed at this hotel for one night, just so my mom, sister, and I could go to a concert at SPAC. The hotel was very clean and very nice. I wish our stay was longer so I had a chance to try out all the amenities it offered.
First off, it is right off the highway. It did take us a few minutes to figure out the roundabout you need to go through in order to get to the hotel but once I figured it out it was very simple.
The staff was extremely pleasant when checking in and the lobby area was very nice and clean. There was a fitness center and an indoor pool with a hot tub on the first level. I would have loved to use the hot tub but we didn't have enough time for that.
We were on the fourth floor which was nice. The hallways were very quiet and you couldn't hear guests on the other sides of the walls which was nice. The only problem we ran into was when we first opened the door, there was this very musty/dirty water smell in the room. I quickly turn on the AC to circulate the air and in about ten minutes it was gone. The rooms were very big and spacious. We could have easily fit 6 people in the room as there were two queen beds and a queen sized pullout sofabed. Surprisingly the pullout sofabed was comfortable. I've used them in past hotel stays and some of them are very flimsy and not sturdy at all. This sofabed was actually very sturdy and very comfortable. The room had a mini fridge which was also a nice addition. A microwave would have been nice too if we had stayed longer but it didn't really matter to us for the one night.
There was a nice bar off the lobby that we would have used had we stayed another night or two. The breakfast in the morning was very delicious. It didn't have as many items as I thought but it was enough for me. The breakfast sandwiches were especially tasty on the biscuits. There was also a lot of fresh fruit sitting on the counters throughout the day so I'm assuming you can always help yourself if you want to.
They also have a 24/7 gallery menu so you can order food at any hour which is a very nice setup for some people I'm sure.
The hotel was at most, only ten minutes from Saratoga Springs, and was very close to lots of shopping and restaurants either 10 minutes north or 10 minutes south.
I would definitely stay here again and hopefully next time it will be for a few days.

How to use JavaScript in your HP LoadRunner scripts
This post was written by Boris Kozorovitzky, from the HP LoadRunner R&D team.
HP LoadRunner uses C as the native language for scripting HTTP/HTML scripts, but it allows integration and use of JavaScript code with relative ease. To learn more about this integration, consult Using the LoadRunner JavaScript Engine chapter in the HP LoadRunner User Guide.
If you haven't experienced HP LoadRunner, this is your opportunity to download it for yourself.
Why would we want to use JavaScript in our script?
There are four main reasons:
- JavaScript often offers a more intuitive experience which is easier to implement than in C.
- The JavaScript regular expression library simplifies the challenge of working with regular expressions.
- Numerous JavaScript libraries that assist with any coding task (e.g. string manipulation) are available.
- Client-side logic is often implemented in JavaScript. Inserting snippets of the original JavaScript code means you don't have to translate the JavaScript client logic into C code.
This article explores the following scenario: We are testing a web server application which is used for authentication. Our goal is to receive an authentication token from the server and use the token in all future communication with the server. The authentication process is as follows:
- Send an HTTP GET request to the "/challenge" REST API to get a challenge string.
- Perform some calculation on that string and generate a unique password using a proprietary encryption algorithm.
- Send a GET request to the "/token" REST API passing the password generated in step 2 as a query parameter.
(If you are unfamiliar with some of the terms in this process you should read my my previous post about Load testing of a REST API, using HP LoadRunner's web_custom_request).
For this scenario we run a simple web server which serves static values (using Node.js). The server code is available as an attachment to this article (web_js_example_server.zip).
Getting the challenge string
Our first goal is to obtain the challenge string from the server. We type the following step into our script to make the required REST API call:
We want to capture the server response in a parameter. To this end, we add a web_reg_save_param step before our request and save the response body into a parameter named "challenge":
Calculating the password
Now that we have the challenge string we can use some JavaScript manipulations to generate the password.
Next we need to create a new JavaScript file that contains our code. Right-click the Extra Files node in the Solution Explorer and select Create new file… Name the new file calcPassword.js and press OK.
We know that the string returned by the server is a JSON object which contains an array with some strings. The last member of that array is a number which tells us the index of the string we want to extract from the array and encrypt using the proprietary algorithm. We add a new JavaScript function that extracts the value from the array:
function getPassword(stringData){
var data = JSON.parse(stringData);
var index = data[data.length - 1];
var value = data[index];
function encrypt(data) {
return data.toString().split("").reverse().join("");
(I don't recommend using this function as a real life encryption method as it only reverses the input string J)
Now we can update our getPassword function to call the encrypt function:
function getPassword(stringData){
var data = JSON.parse(stringData);
var index = data[data.length - 1];
var value = data[index];
return encrypt(value);
Now we just add the web_js_run step to run our JavaScript code:
"File=crypto.js", ENDITEM,
"File=calcPassword.js", ENDITEM,
The parameters are straightforward but you can always consult the product documentation if you are not sure. In this case we call the getPassword function defined in the JavaScript file. We want to pass it the parameter we got from the REST API call. We use the LR.getParam utility function (implemented in JavaScript) to pass that parameter as string to the getPassword function. The result of the function is stored in the parameter defined by the ResultParam argument ("password" in our case). Finally we have the source files that contain our JavaScript code added as "File=…" arguments separated by the ENDITEM constant.
Obtaining the token
Our final step is obtaining the token from the server. We could just use the password parameter to create the URI, but that would be a mistake because we need to encode the URI first. We can do it easily using another web_js_run call (since JavaScript natively supports URI encoding). This time the call is quite simple:
"Code='http:/'+'/localhost:3000/token?password=' + encodeURI(LR.getParam('password'));",
(Note that we split up the '//' string in the 'Code' parameters into two separate sub-strings. If we were to pass it in as a single string "//", LoadRunner would report error -26312, "Using "//" line comments in argument of type 'code' is illegal/unsupported")
Now we add the step that makes the final call with the calculated URI to the appropriate REST API:
web_custom_request("get token",
The result from the server is as expected:
Action.c(25): t=1987ms: 38-byte response body for "http://localhost:3000/token?password=damhA" (RelFrameId=1, Internal ID=4)
Action.c(25): "4f6dfbce-412f-4c6c-8bac-7d7d66a6b822"
Enhancing your HTTP/HTML script with JavaScript code is easy and useful. There are numerous scenarios where this capability can be employed to shorten scripting time and create a much more robust script. The HP LoadRunner User Guide is key to understanding the full potential of this feature as it includes a built in function library that links the JavaScript code to your test script's code.
Leave us a comment in the box below to let us know how you use JavaScript in your load tests.

I am getting the following issue in loadrunner 11.3. How can i resolve this.
you must press the Resume button once to proceed.
I am using IE 8 on windows XP machine for preparing web protocol LR scripts.
When I try to playback my script it gives me an error message in the run time viewer that "Your browser doesnot HTML5".
My developer confirmed that HTML5 was not used while coding the application.
As per requirement I need to use IE8 only.
How can I ensure my script is not using HTML5?
Hi MalcolmIsaacs,
The script web_js_example.zip 143 KB was defined to use the proxy necessary to work inside HP's internal network. If you are outside HP's network, if you run the script immediately after download, you will get an error message.
So first go to Run-Time Settings, Proxy and select "No Proxy" or whatever proxy your computer is behind.
Also, you need to change the localhost:3000 to whatever server you have running.
Can you please advise for which version of HP LoadRunner supports this?
It's been there for a while – at least since LR 11.51.

No one can answer the questions you ask. Its by design. Our creators gave us just enough intelligence to get by without ever knowing the fundamentals of their master plan. Simple self producing bio units with very limited smarts.
Genius !!!
I don't aspire to want to know anymore once I realised this. It was then that my appreciation for living things was elevated, especially towards humans. Someone, somebody or something made us. They designed us different from all other forms of life. We are the only living creature on this earth that knows he will die and subsequently lives his life in accordance to this knowledge. We are preoccupied with asking questions that can and never will be answered and in doing so miss the whole experience of just living. We destroy in the name progress and treat out birth place as a disposable object. No other living creature in the world does this. We should let go of our egos and see life for what it really is, limited and precious. What happen when we die is irrelevant. What does it matter if there is an afterlife or not? Would it be any better than this physical life? We don't even get along in the present. Sad.
Any attempt to concretely define who made us, what is our duty, what is our destiny is nothing more than speculation. By accepting this and just living you will become more in tuned to the universe and see the beauty of your fellow brothers and sisters. Who knows, the world just might become a better place!

For Libya, What's Next After No-Fly?
Welcome to Politics Bites, where every afternoon at It's A Free Country, we bring you the unmissable quotes from the morning's political conversations on WNYC. Today on The Brian Lehrer Show, Steve Clemons, director of the American Strategy Program at the New America Foundation and the man behind the popular political blog "The Washington Note", and Fred Kaplan, "War Stories" columnist at Slate and a Schwartz Senior Fellow at the New America Foundation, discussed how the U.N. Security Council voted to authorize military action to protect civilians in Libya.
Yesterday, after Colonel Moammar Gadhafi threatened to "have no mercy" on rebels in the city of Benghazi, the United Nations Security Council took the first step toward making the crisis in Libya an international conflict, voting to impose a no-fly zone in the country and authorizing "all necessary measures" to protect civilians.
Hours after the vote, the Libyan government announced a cease-fire, publicly freezing their military operations. That's provided little comfort to the rest of the world; so far, it has been difficult for governments and news organizations to confirm whether Gadhafi's forces are indeed abiding by the order.
Steve Clemons echoed these concerns, fearing that the cease-fire may just be a delay tactic.
I think Gadhafi is a smart guy. He's got his lunatic image, but he's got a smart, savvy way in which the real story of Libya right now, which is not a good one, is the comeback of Gadhafi. He was pushed to the edge and he demonstrated an ability to kind of roll back. Part of that is because the opposition is under-equipped, but now he's doing exactly what [his son] said they would do, which is to draw out a civil war and set up a line. We'll have to see how supporters in the Arab world resource the opposition to him, but he's buying time.
Fred Kaplan agreed with Clemons' assessment, but doubted that Gadhafi's temporary draw-down would make any difference in the long run.
Buying time works against him in this new context as well. Setting up a no-fly zone, that's going to take a little bit of time...Also, I don't think rebels are just going to sit there and accept that there's going to be some de facto line of demarcation beyond which they won't plow any further to the west. Firing will commence one way or another, and the Libyan troops will fire back, and the powers authorized by the U.N. can do what they will be coming to do.
Which raises the question: is the Libya no-fly zone merely a preamble to war, as it was in Iraq?
Clemons said that the perceived efficacy of a no-fly zone shows that many expect it to be little more than a gesture in advance of action.
This is now a direct, full-scale intervention. The no-fly zone, I think even from the beginning it was clear, was going to essentially be a slippery slope into other things...It was always a fake debate, a fake issue in the sense that it would not matter on the ground, it would not change the equation, and it was always going to be in this direction.
If Clemons is correct, the parallels with U.S. involvement in Iraq are obvious. According to Fred Kaplan, the no-fly zone in Iraq precipitated heightened conflict precisely because Iraqi forces were backed into a corner. When they finally committed an act of war, it was activating radar on anti-aircraft weapons just to track American planes.
That sort of thing could happen again. The hope would be that the Libyans would just back off, that it would be hard for Gadhafito convince pilots to go up in the air. This authorization is much more than a no-fly zone; it explicitly mentions a no-fly zone, but talks about "all necessary measures."
"And by the way," Kaplan continued, "it's to protect civilians and civilian-populated areas under threat of attack." He said that not only gives U.N. forces broad authority to take military action almost anywhere in Libya so long as civilians are in the area, but also to respond to the threat of violence without any having taken place yet.
The Security Council's resolution comes on the heels of a unanimous vote by the Arab League last week in favor of a Libyan no-fly zone; significant, because it demonstrates a willingness within the Arab world to see international forces intervene.
For all the similarities with escalation in Iraq, the situation today is markedly different when considering the caution exhibited by the U.S. The Obama Administration has been waiting quietly for the rest of the world to respond to the crisis before taking action. That time appears to have arrived; however, Steve Clemons said that even though the Arab and international communities have now endorsed military intervention, that doesn't amount to a blanket assurance of trust for the United States.
Despite some elements of the Libyan opposition calling for a no-fly zone, and the unanimous Arab League vote, nonetheless, just beneath surface is an incredible amount of skepticism, and the view many people have is that the U.S. and the West don't become engaged in serious conflicts and embed in them and then deal with nuances. They deal with it full on and it's very hard to extract once an outcome is achieved—to back off.
For his part, Clemons felt as though there were other opportunities to influence the crisis in Libya without defaulting to the no-fly zone, almost certainly engendering a full-blown war. He specifically suggested that the international community could have instead supplied rebels with weapons, jammed Gadhafi's communications, and fed intelligence to opposition forces. In this case, he said, something like a proxy war might be more effective—and safer for the United States.
These were all ways that could have helped substantially change the facts on the ground, the ability of the opposition to wage this conflict, without having a very large profile Western military footprint, which stills cares me a lot. There's not enough discussion in my view. I do think the opposition needs to get rid of Gadhafi, but there could be some very negative consequences for us.

Can You Guess What's On Cee Lo's Lap?
Trying to guess what color pajamas — or in the case of last week's episode, what style wig — Cee Lo Green will wear next is one of the best parts of 'The Voice.'
Trying to guess what color pajamas — or in the case of last week's episode, what style wig — Cee Lo Green will wear next is one of the best parts of 'The Voice.'
Tony Lucca has been doing well enough on 'The Voice' to not need much help, but he's getting it from high places. Justin Timberlake has endorsed Lucca in the competition, which we're sure will give him at least a bit of an advantage when it comes time to vote!
The 'The Voice"s blind auditions are long done. The battle rounds are now fading into the rear view. The teams have been established and set to the liking of the coaches. The herd has been thinned. As of Monday, April 2, 'The Voice' live shows will begin, airing for two hours from 8 to 10PM ET. But that's not all. The show will expand to a second night, with live eliminations airing on Tuesdays from 9 to 10PM ET.
We spend a lot of our lives at work, so it's always nice when you can find a job that surrounds you with people you like working with — just ask Blake Shelton, whose tenure as a coach on 'The Voice' has sparked a friendship with Adam Levine. Wait, did we say friendship? This is something deeper. Blake and Adam have entered bromance territory.
Kelly Clarkson, Robin Thicke, Lionel Richie and Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland have all signed on to be a part of a new singing competition show on ABC called Duets.
We already have American Idol, The Voice, The X Factor and The Sing Off, now it looks like the CW will be entering the singing competition show arena with The star Next Door.
With all of the singing competitions on television these days, people argue about which one is the best. People argue about who has the better panel of judges, better format, best ratings and which one has the better singers. History was made behind the scenes of Kidd Kraddick In The Morning and for a brief moment, all of that competitive nonsense stopped. One finalist from the X-Factor, one from Idol, and the winner of The Voice came together and collaborated on one of the most popular songs in music today.
"The Voice" coach Blake Shelton has played a role teaching and listening to plenty of talent on the hit reality singing show. And he takes his role personally — even to the point of calling out a critic on Twitter.
American Idol, The Voice and X Factor winners all competing together in one competition, I've thought about the scenario a few times, and apparently so has Simon Cowell of the X Factor!
There's two key pieces of information floating around regarding 'The Voice,' which nabbed monster ratings following the Super Bowl on Sunday (Feb. 5). Coach Christina Aguilera has reportedly signed on for a third season, with producers at NBC hoping to retain all three of her male co-conspirators. But the bigger news is the fact that the show's third season may air this fall, as opposed to 2013, to take advantage of its raging popularity.
Christina Aguilera's diva rep is making its triumphant return on 'The Voice.' This time, her weight gain is being blamed for her attitude, despite her frequent claims of being comfortable with her curves.
There are few TV shows that pull in the number of viewers that the Super Bowl does and that's why advertisers are willing to spend millions of dollars on ads during the Super Bowl. Th

(Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images).President Barack Obama opened a day-long summit on concussions at the White House on Thursday by calling for more research into youth concussions, according to an Associated Press report."We want our kids participating in sports," Obama said. "As parents though, we want to keep them safe and that means we have to have better information."We have to change a culture that says, 'suck it up.'"MMQB: NATE JACKSON: Life After ConcussionsObama cited uncertainty with the long-term impacts of concussions on young people as an impetus for greater research. Present at Thursday's summit were representatives from pro sports leagues, as well youth coaches, parents, athletes and medical professionals.The president also announced a $30 million joint research effort by the NCAA and Defense Department, as well as the NFL's $25 million commitment over the next three years regarding youth sports safety.From the AP report: "Nearly 250,000 kids and young adults visit hospital emergency rooms each year with brain injuries caused by sports or other recreational activity, the White House said."Obama had waded into the debate over concussions before, saying that if he had sons, he would "have to think long and hard" about whether he would allow them to play football. As the father of two daughters, Obama tried to broaden out the discussion over head injuries, saying that young people who play soccer, lacrosse, hockey and other sports also are at risk."BURKE: Jahvid Best suing NFL over concussions Promoted Stories Comments
