That's the point; if you want to use them as a tool, they can be. I concede that. But they're a tool to recognize things you've already decided, not to see into some collective gestalt.
Immediacracy:QuoteTrue, but I would say that I'm not a brain. I come from a brain. Brain exhaust.You do have the gift for a nice turn of phrase, Imm. "Brain exhaust"; lovely concept . Are you a writer?
True, but I would say that I'm not a brain. I come from a brain. Brain exhaust.
Old is relevant because when we deal with intuition, the closer we get to primitive consciousness the better. Opposite to the objective worldview where the most contemporary technology is generally trusted, with the subjective world, ancient models are potentially more revealing of the raw architecture of the psyche.
Their meaning is what's important about them, which is a reflection of inner truth.
QM can only be validated objectively. I Ching subjectively. It's just an entirely different orientation from top to bottom.
It's not about calling it anything. You just let it be what it is.
Yep. The TV works too. TV Ching. Nothing special about the I Ching or Tarot other than they are designed expressly for that purpose so you get a really rich and coherent vocabulary to draw from.
I'm not claiming that it's not a coincidence at all. (Everything is a coincidence, technically). I'm just saying that on one level the coincidence is meaningless, and on another level it appears uncanny. That's what consciousness is made of. Pattern recognition. Choosing to recognize a pattern or not.
The point is not to use divination, but to understand that it's not nothing, and that it's shadowy semi-validity reveals some important truths about the Self and it's connection to the Cosmos.
I agree. It doesn't stop people from using logic to prove the erroneous conclusion that imagination isn't real.
[alleged semantics]
It doesn't claim. It teases.
Back into the science/not science red herring.
Absolutely. Not all aspects though. Not qualia.
True, but I would say that I'm not a brain. I come from a brain. Brain exhaust. Electric brain sweat, mayybe. I don't need to be here, my brain is perfectly capable of making it's computations without a me monitor and an I mouse connected to it.
Nope, you're not getting it. Obviously having to think about it is the way it is, but why would it be that way if the universe were purely automatic? The brain can read words and letters and not bother you with the English deciphering process you had to learn, so why bother you with anything else?
haha. Well I think it can, because I think that order is inherent in the body and in all forms of the cosmos. But without any order exterior to human intellect, what do you suppose could lead to the invention of consciousness? Based on what provision of matter or energy?
Every time you voluntarily move any part of your body you are directly influencing the universe. The body is part of the universe, no?
Yes but 'abstraction' loses relevance when we talk about color. Color is both entirely subjective but concrete. Our opposites don't need to have a bearing on the universe, they are the universe informing consciousness. We discover opposites, we don't invent them.
The logic of looking for an opposite is intuitive - we are searching for a relation that exists already internally, provided by our neurology, not creating it out of thin air and deciding it's an opposite arbitrarily.
Physics, no, but why not metaphysics?
That's what I'm saying, both the color wheel and the nuomenon of color are part of the Cosmos. It's not an either/or.
I don't think we have to know, I just think it's dishonest not to include them in any meaningful cosmology.
Oh, bummer. I hope you find one soon. I'm all for taking a break, hah.
I know what you're saying but I'm not talking about the physical universe. Other end of the Cosmos.
It's true to the degree that it's personally meaningful.
I qualify it because numbers are too far infra to be considered objectively real. They are elemental decatypes to us. I have no reason to presume that the Cosmos has any such prejudice though. Our numbers may very well be as real to the nuonomenal Cosmos as cosmic rays or supernovas. Why wouldn't they be? Quarks are real to us, why wouldn't our 'ideoquarks' be real to it?
The color yellow is an example of a truth without evidence. A circle. etc.
An archaeologist of our civilization could easily that we worshiped the Stock Market, or any of the iconic deities that adorn our skyscrapers. I'm not positing that Greek myth is a myth, but that you may be painting prehistory with a broad brush. Zeus worshipers did alright with the math and the philosophy, the architecture, the democracy...not bad for people who believe things without any indication that they are true.
Ah cool, I like that book but it did seem a little screwy in the structure department. I wonder if he got the idea from William S. Burroughs?
reply if you want but I gotta take a break for a day or two.
Who says that the more primitive the better?...
When you say reflection, I'm thinking of a scientifically describable phenomenon. The I Ching is nothing like that.But again, where's the worth in those techniques if I can get the same stuff anywhere else?
QM can be validated independently; not independently from people for obvious reasons, but independently from person to person. Its truth is quantitatively different from your truth. It's accurate (not necessarily true) no matter what you believe. A personal truth revealed by the I Ching does not have a measurable degree of accuracy; QM does.
Which is what I meant when I said pat rec is fine unless it's pareidolia. Seeing patterns where none exist and attributing meaning accordingly is a classical example of the mind being unreliable.
Is satisfaction with the results the only criterion? How do you qualify the validity of a personal truth you reject ("the I Ching got it wrong") or accept ("the I Ching was spot on") even to yourself?
Who's claiming that? Links if possible, please.
Course it's real. It's just a complex process, like an eddy, nothing supernatural. If you define "exist" as "exist concretely, measurably, perceptibly" than you can indeed state that imagination doesn't exist. In much the same way as language doesn't.
QuoteIt doesn't claim. It teases.So it can't? Screw it then, I'll do what everybody else does, form my opinions largely based on gut feelings and unsubstantiated claims where validation is not feasible.
The question why we should think a particular set of intuitive "methods" complementary (formally or socially) to science (or the SEW if you prefer) is a pertinent one,
especially since one has a clear method while the other seems to be defined by arbitrarity and intution.
There will be borders where they both will overlap and claim high ground; someone will find a personal truth that is demonstrably wrong and seek to perpetuate it, others will be overly critical of personal truths (which I'd call philosophies or views, not truths).
These are two world views, not one. Or one incoherent one if you prefer.
My point being that you can't confirm or deny the reality of qualia even subjectively. Sure, you can feel validated, but that's about it.
Whether you are your consciousness or all your brain functions, or the body as well is, I think, a moot semantic point indeed (unless you want a biologically feasible definition).
If the universe is automatic, a living system subject to evolution necessitates a way to interact with its surroundings.
As for consciousness, without an exact representative definition, it's hard to answer the question of why consciousness developed.
It may be just a (genetically beneficial) self-perception, self-reflection, the perception of a process. Like yellow, we may never know why we perceive it as we perceive it. The important question is to ask how can we possibly tell (no matter which methodology), and why should we not regard the results as baseless (logically or otherwise) views.
Predictibality and thus order are indeed a prerequisite for intuition. I was (poorly) attempting to make the point that in no way does intuition imply a sense which violates constraints of "physical and temporal locality".
So my stance is that while intuition is very valuable and produces good results, it has its limits just like anything else, and even where it works well it can easily crap out. Intuition can also only tell us about things that it has been trained to process, or which it was hard-wired to process.
It completely fails outside those boundaries; when movement patterns are too complex or too qualitatively different to have been beneficially recognized during our evolution.
Yes, we do. In no way other than by arbitrary definition is black the opposite of white.
We are searching for symmetries where none may exist.Sure, that can be productive (science does that, albeit with heavy testing involved), but changing society on that basis and not much more?
Because I maintain that the only meaning the word "opposite" has is as a descriptor of purely formal relationships. Where it fails to be an accurate descriptor, a better one should be sought, or the definition changed for the duration of the discussion.
Symmetries in certain aspects between entities seem to us to imply opposition
unless you can show that the symmetry exists outside of language and abstract concepts.
the symmetries we perceive are a representative measure of the universe itself just isn't admissible.
Where would we put the concrete circles? On what basis? "I don't know" is a sufficient incentive for most scientists but how would one go about incorporating circles as something concrete?
QuoteI know what you're saying but I'm not talking about the physical universe. Other end of the Cosmos.So ... arbitrary application of meaning again?
QuoteIt's true to the degree that it's personally meaningful.Like the existence of god?I wouldn't call meaningful true, just meaningful.
Cause we can infer and measure quarks (whatever they are), and only say and write numbers.
We have learned how to assign meaning to communicable patterns; they are not physical entities.If a number is objectively unreal, why wouldn't a circle be?
saying "it is as I perceive it" is a long shot away from "I perceive it as such"
Couldn't say. Read the VALIS trilogy yet? Dude was completely nuts ...He's done better books than High Castle, true. Vast fluctuations of quality, mostly owing to his habit of writing a book on amphetamins in two weeks whenever he ran out of cash, I think.
I am still struggling to really understand.
The "OMM (also referred to as the SEW) vs ACME" one seems simple enough,
at one end of the scale we have epistemological meaningless; where anything means everything. At the other end we have strict epistemological method; the notion that by examination of the world we can gain knowledge about it.
(Actually I think this scale is too simple, it needs a third axis of "things we cannot know". That aside though...)
But Imm is unclear, other times he talks of the "subjective vs objective" distinction. However they cannot be same.
The ACME OMM, is an epistemological scale; the distinction between the subjective and objective is a boolean not a scale.
So which one is it? A genuine epistemological division between the objective and subjective or an epistemological scale with method on one end and anarchy at the other?
But this contradiction aside Imm seems to be arguing for some type of epistemological distinction. He is slowly revealing himself to be some type of dualist. Yet at the same time there are hints of monism in what he says. Once again I cannot quite pin him down. Is there some real division in the world, or is everything ultimately holistic?
The trouble is that Imm has invoked the great leveler of imagination. This gives him licence to contradict himself; it is a neat trick.
It allows him to talk of deep patterns in astrology and numerology without the hastle of needing to demonstrate it's truth.
By shifting himself along his grand scale towards ACME or the subjective (dependant upon his mood); he can both present 'subjective' evidence, while resisting objective analysis.
What is it you believe to be true?
On the OMM side, I find the less I understand the more I want to know, but on the ACME side, the more I know the less I understand. Maybe it is part of my learning curve, as I am in such unfamiliar territory on that side of the coin (ACME).
What happened to the collage of images. I didn't get a chance to really check it out.And is there hidden message to be revealed in the new images?Sorry...I missed the message below.
I see that you are an astrologer. I believe I have not one but two Yods in my chart. I can't remember them, but I think one is with Jupiter, Pluto and Uranus. I was told that it was very rare to have one, but that's all I recall. What do you make of it?June 13, 19554:30 amBig Springs, TexasADDED:Not a setup. Genuine question. If you want to do a reading that's kewl and I will be glad to tell how you are doing. Anyways, really want to know the meaning of the Yod (finger of God) thing., if you have heard of it. It's a weird aspect that looks like a Y,if you are not familiar with it.
How was that for quick & dirty. Did it make any sense?
People I know going through yod transits are usually put in a difficult position where is seems like they have to choose one life path or another. Obects, buying and selling physical things, collecting, assessing values. someone who is very much at home being at home.You like people to come to you and hang our in your kingdom. You like being stimulated by clever design and fresh controversial moves.People like your 00 Gemini Venus. Childlike enthusiasm and worldly wit. your way of doing things is to learn everything you can about them. You drive people crazy being too familiar, making or taking things too personally.a lot of nervous frustrated energy in your basic personality. character is contradictory. a difficult arrangement for partnerships.feel defensive against others personal attacks. you think that people consider you an easy mark for some reason and you put up aloof and potent mechanisms to protect you from ever being treated unfairly.July, and December you Vacation, rest, retreat, etc. Your home life is really favored right now.
[...]{1} OMM vs ACME is strictly about attitudes toward phenomena. [...]{2} That's an ACME facing map of it's take on the continuum between subjectivity and objectivity. I'm not trying to say that it's an objectively valid map or even a subjectively valid one, but it's a potentially interesting and meaningful one that has a lot of really gorgeous layered symmetries and cycles in there. [...]{3} My hypothesis is that it is both sides of a coin. Existential dualism on one side, essential monism on the other.[...]Is it really so terrible and incoherent?
Holy cow! That was an awesome reading and right on in so many ways. I will Delete all the stuff that was not accurate and repost it, but first I have to tell you how I really fckd up. I gave you the wrong time! I used to have a fantastic memory, but when you said you didn't see a Yod, I dug out my birth certificate. The time was 3:59 PM, not 4:30 am. I feel like such an ass. I am so sorry. I'll understand if you don't wish to re-do. It's amazing that you were so accurate with me being off half a day.
Oh, no worries. It doesn't change what I wrote all that much. You have a Scorpio rising with Saturn in the first house. <snip: the rest of this astrology stuff>
^^^I follow no man. (I enjoy most of what you have to say as well.)It's just that I can't so quickly dismiss things that I do not understand. I spent 3 years with astrology before abandoning it. I hoped that I would have made clear in my last post that I wonder at how things like astrology work or appear to work in my experience. In the same way that one may not understand how a phone works, but still is able to use it.Sadly, Christianity had "worked" for me for nearly 50 years. I am a slow study, no doubt.
How would that be Immediacracy? How would objects like Saturn or Jupiter influence the lives of persons, in an abstract predictive way? Even though their forces on Earth are insignificant compared those of the moon and the Sun?
You do know that astrology is unscientific, right? That it has not scientifically proven any predictive power, but rather the opposite? How do you verify these vague predictions of yours?
Really, I am astounded for finding an actual person believing in all this nonsense. And you even have your own personal follower!
Astrology is a pseudo-science. It exists for a long time, because people are attracted to mysticism. That's fine, but astrology makes predictions about the real world. If astrology really works as claimed, even without really understanding it, we should at least be able to verify if its predictions statistically hold. A lot of these tests have been done in this field and a lot of other areas as well that are considered pseudo-science now, like parapsychology, psychic powers, etc. Nothing of these pseudo-sciences have ever held up under close scientific examination.
This is how that question would look to you:"How would that be penkie? How would patterns like tertiary protein topology or nucleic acid sequence influence the bodies and brains of persons, in an abstract predictive way? Even though they deeply microscopic and are pharmacologically insignificant compared to medicine and radiation?"
That's the first point. Realizing that you have no experience trying to understand something like astrology at all, but yet to presume to know more about it than someone who has thousands of hours over two decades researching it first hand. Not to rebuff the question, and I don't mind you asking, but if you are interesting in learning something other than 'how stupid and superstitious everyone is', then you have to set your level of expectation down to novice.
Just as ACME is opposite to OMM, Astrology is opposite to genetics. In genetics, you start out learning WHAT it is and HOW it works, and then you practice on labwork for a long time and then you begin to play with the real deal. Subjectivity is just the opposite. You start out playing with the real deal - doing charts for yourself and friends, then you apply the principles abstractly, understanding how symmetry, zodiacal archetypes are projected. If you stick with it long enough then you can begin to ask HOW it works. At first you can only use astrology to ask 'who', then later on 'why'
Your worldview is exclusively material. You can't conceive of the validity of anything that can't be used in some way to an advantage.
If it doesn't really predict you anything, or is not useful to your advantage, then why then do it?
Yeah I don't use it to predict anything. When you look at your watch, do you use it to predict something or use it for an advantage?
Astrology is basically an illustrated calendar. People are born in time, and they live their lives changing in time. Astrology just gives you a language to look at that. It's not about predictions, it's just about reading stories into people and times that prove uncannily insightful.
Through astrology I've come to appreciate all different types of people, even those whose influences are very different from mine. I can see that for some people 'having an advantage' is what life is all about. But it's OMM technosis. All of our striving for advantage are what is are getting in the way - ruining the world for us all.

Valve teased some downloadable content for Portal 2 recently, but now the developer has gone and spilled the potatoes on the first bit of planned DLC. It's aiming for release sometime this summer, and best of all: it's free for all platforms (PC, Mac, 360, and PS3).
The first pack will include new test chambers, leaderboards, both a single- and multiplayer challenge mode, and more. The announcement didn't specify if the new test chambers will be single-player, co-op, or both, but we imagine any solo content will be roped off from the main story.
If you haven't picked up Portal 2 yet, what's wrong with you? That is to say, check out our review for Jeff's impressions of Valve's latest brain-tickler.

The Public Utilities Commission -- and not the city of Boulder -- has the authority to determine who will provide electricity to 5,800 county households and businesses that Boulder has identified as potential future customers of its municipal utility, the state Office of Consumer Counsel said in a filing with the PUC.
The Office of Consumer Counsel represents residential, small business and agricultural utility customers as a class and advocates for their interests before the Public Utilities Commission, which regulates the state's private utilities.
Boulder has said if it creates a municipal electric utility, it intends to condemn two substations that serve both city and county customers and the related electric infrastructure. Roughly 5,800 electric customers in unincorporated Boulder County -- largely in the Gunbarrel area -- would become customers of the Boulder utility.
Xcel Energy has asked the Public Utilities Commission to intervene. It argues that it has a certificate of public convenience and necessity to serve those customers, and that certificate cannot be taken away unless Boulder can show that Xcel is unable or unwilling to serve those customers.
Boulder's attorneys point directly to the state constitution, which gives home rule cities the right to condemn utility infrastructure inside and outside their boundaries.
The Public Utilities Commission does not plan to hold a hearing on the matter. Rather, the commissioners will rule based on the arguments in the filings. However, they will deliberate at a public meeting, the date of which has not yet been announced.
Boulder spokeswoman Sarah Huntley said the city's attorneys are reviewing the filings now and plan to address the arguments of the Office of Consumer Counsel and other groups that filed briefs in the case by the end of the month.
Authority to serve
However, the city continues to believe it has the authority both to condemn Xcel's infrastructure in Boulder County and to serve those customers.
In its filing with the Public Utilities Commission, Boulder argued that the certificate of public convenience and necessity is a property right that can be condemned, just as power poles and wires can be condemned.
In its own filing, the Office of Consumer Counsel also referred to the certificate as a property right, but one that cannot be taken away from Xcel without due process. The filing said the Colorado Supreme Court said the PUC had the authority to regulate the city of Loveland's utility operations outside its boundaries.
"Unlike Boulder city residents, the county customers were excluded from the November (2011) vote that allowed Boulder to move forward with municipalization," the consumer counsel wrote. "Further, the county customers lack the power to control the actions of Boulder in deciding issues that directly impact them; such as rates. This is especially concerning to the OCC since the OCC is statutorily mandated to represent these customers. Many Boulder County residents have even lodged complaints with the commission and expressed strong opposition to being a Boulder municipal utility customer."
Xcel spokeswoman Michelle Aguayo said the company appreciates the position taken by the Office of Consumer Counsel.
"It supports Xcel Energy's legal position, namely, that a Boulder municipal utility cannot be unilaterally imposed by Boulder upon county residents," she said.
'Not going to break apart the system'
City Council members have said they are sensitive to the question of whether Boulder County residents want to be served by a city-run utility. Residents of the Gunbarrel area have organized both in favor of and in opposition to a municipal utility that could serve their area.
The City Council has adopted language that indicates the city will attempt to determine the wishes of a majority of affected county residents and pursue regulatory and legislative changes that would give those residents a choice in their utility provider.
Huntley said the city has not made a final decision about whether it will serve those residents, even if it acquires the infrastructure. The city is exploring whether there is a way to allow those customers to keep Xcel meters.
However, that doesn't change the city's legal argument, she said.
"We're not going to break apart the system," Huntley said. "The whole purpose is to not break up the system. If we have to distinguish between the right to condemn and the right to serve, that will be a matter for council to decide at a later date."

Group fitness
InSHAPE Together participants helped each other adopt healthier lifestylesBy MELANIE PLENDA
Special to the Sunday News March 23. 2013 3:05AM
The Keene InSHAPE Together group gathers in front of Monadnock Covenant Church last July, at the start of the project. Hazel Balch, second from right, has lost 55 pounds. (COURTESY)
Hazel Balch has always cooked for two. Even when there was only one.
"I've always liked to eat," the 70-year-old from Swanzey said. "But since my husband died - it's been 15 years - I've still been cooking for two ... and eating for two."
Last summer, Balch joined 29 other people participating through Keene's Monadnock Covenant Church in a new program called InSHAPE Together (from Individualized Self Health Action Plan for Empowerment). The aims of the project, conducted by the Prevention Research Center at Dartmouth, were to find solutions to the obesity epidemic and to identify barriers to getting healthy.
Specifically, researchers wanted to find out what happens to success rates when people have a support network for getting healthy.
"I feel like when we started, we thought of healthy eating and physical activity as secondary goals," said Rudy Fedrizzi, Director of Community Health Clinical Integration at Cheshire Medical Center/Dartmouth-Hitchcock Keene and InSHAPE Together's lead investigator. "We'd rather have (participants) come together as a group because we knew that the power of connection and helping relationships would help them stick to whatever habits they developed."
Balch said she had always been a little overweight. She started trying to get healthier, she said, after doctors told her that her blood sugar was high. She'd lost 10 pounds before joining the InSHAPE Together. Since joining, she's lost another 45 pounds, taken 30 points off her blood sugar count and found a new friend.
"I had to lose weight, and I basically live alone," Balch said. "So I thought that this would be a way to do that and to connect with someone. And I do have a friend that I made as part of the group. We go to the Y together twice a week, and we're going to try to increase it to a third time. And we do things together, and we sit together at church. I didn't even know her before the program started."
Regionally, teams were set up in Keene, Manchester and St. Johnsbury, Vt. Each team was composed of about 30 people ages 12 and older, with two groups of 30 in Manchester. The only criteria for being in the study was that participants before starting the program had to be active less than three days a week or not at all. Members committed to meeting meet once a month.
Between meetings, participants were to track their activity and nutrition. They were encouraged to eat according to the USDA My Plate criteria - which, in a nutshell, requires that half of daily food consumption consist of fruit and vegetables - and to exercise. They were provided access to a nutritionist, an exercise coach and four to eight members of their team designated as their support network.
During her time in the group, Balch said, she learned to cut her portion sizes in half by saving some of her food for the next day. She said she also made chicken and fish for her main sources of protein.
The biggest change for Keene's Norman Mathias, 82, was movement. His hobbies of photography and computer games don't require much movement, he said, so he had not been very active in recent years. He said that as a result of InSHAPE Together, he and his wife became more active and as a result regained muscle and flexibility they had lost.
Definite improvement
At group meetings, participants shared information about their own lives, their social circles and their community, explaining how those influences either helped them stick to their goals or made it harder to do so. From that information, researchers are trying to glean changes that individuals and communities can make to help people make healthy choices.
The final results of the project won't be available until sometime in the late spring or early summer, but generally speaking, Fedrizzi said, he definitely saw improvements in the Keene group.
"I think that this group would consider themselves cohesive and friends," he said. "And that's likely what's going to help them stick with whatever healthy habits they've developed. We very much wanted them to understand that you don't do this on your own, that it's not about will power and that it's OK to have two steps forward and one step back. And I think watching the group, they seem to be resilient around disappointment. They don't give up when life gets in the way of what they intended."
Breanna Redding, project coordinator for InSHAPE Together, said of the 30 original participants, 28 stuck with the program, with each meeting averaging 15 or 16 people. At the last meeting, on March 17, 18 people showed up. Redding said it's hard to pinpoint what would have helped the people who didn't see it through.
"I still think it's the self-motivation," she said. "Some people just need a little bit more.
"It's been boggling my mind for months now ... but maybe there is just one extra step. Maybe it's that one extra call, one extra letter or trip to their house."
More than weight loss
The researchers also point out that though participants' weights and body mass indexes were recorded, weight loss wasn't the primary goal of the project. The idea, they said, was that the process would help participants become more active, eat healthier and create positive social networks that would help them maintain their lifestyle, and that the participants would become agents of healthy change in their communities.
As far as Mathias and many others in the group are concerned, the project has done just that.
The research so far supports their conclusion.
Statewide data from 70 participants who completed midpoint assessments revealed that 53 percent experienced a decreased BMI, and 67 percent increased their six-minute-walk distance.
Participants reported increased feelings of social support for exercise (47 percent), increased number of days with vigorous activity (50 percent) and decreased barriers to exercise (64.3 percent). More than half reduced their sedentary time (62.9 percent). A whopping 87.9 percent reported making lifestyle changes because of IST.
"I would still be sedentary if it weren't for this program," Mathias said. "I'd say what the program has done for me is made me feel better. I still don't always want to go to Silver Sneakers (an exercise program at the YMCA) in the morning, but I know that when I come home an hour and a half later, I'm going to feel better. So I have to say, 'Come on, body; get up and go.' My body says, 'Who me?' And I say, 'Yeah, you.' And we get up and go."

these are awesome ... you have to really get one whenever the next batch comes...
thanks KC
Now accepting preorders/deposits and pre sales for batch 2. Expected timeframe is 3weeks, but my hope is that they will be done much sooner then that.
how much is the deposit?
The next batch is going to be a flat price. Probably $49.99 shipped.
Deposits will be $24.99
i have an old batt that im pretty sure is dead, will it still be $49 with the top installed?
Yup. You ship me the top, Ill install it and ship it to you when full payment is made.Originally Posted by rifleman wi
And what about first time charge???Does it necessary to charge something like 24 hours...or close to it?
And when battery will be full does led on the original AGD charger goes to the green color?
KC Thanks...i got mine today P))
The pack has alreaady been charged so take care when connecting the wires to the tops guys.Originally Posted by Marrr
The AGD charger will work just like it did before, It just takes longer to charger the larger pack.
The 2nd run of packs is on the welder. Packs will be available soon.
send me a PM when you get next batch done. I want one!
KC, I think I have your PP info from a previous deal but, please shoot it to me again and do you have an objection to being paid in full prior to the packs being ready?
KC what's the status of next batch? I'll take one.
MeDiCX & DaFin thanks for your quick payments. I will ship as soon as I have them in hand. Should be any day now.
I think my battery pack is going out. I'm going to do some testing with my multimeter. If It ends up being bad I would be in for one.
I shouold know tommorrow.

I would also follow the suggestion to remove the clips prior to soldering. I didnt and melted the plastic piece the they attach too. (yep, noob solderer here)
Guess l have to hand make something to replace it. I've emaild AGD to see if they hav e one laying aroung but since they no longer sell the cases I doubt they will.
I have a few tops. PMed you.Originally Posted by flyboy
Thanks KC, Agd still has some.
OK what'd I do wrong....
I got a decent soldering iron and soldered the wires to the new clips I got. The wires on the new battery were on opposite sides of the battery than the ones pictured and I verified it on a second emag battery I have. I put the clips on the correct side an reassembled the battery. (the black and red wire are crossed in the battery so compartment so they went to the right connector but no wire is touching. )
First thing I noticed is that the battery wouldnt fit the the standard oring at the bottom of the battery case. i had to use a thinner one. But heres the bad part. I put the batty on the gun and smoke came out of the handle and the agd banner didnt lite up. I rechecked that the red and white are on the right side and it was fine. I then put my second battery (stock one) on the gun and got the AGD 3,2 and then garbage.
Is it possible the red and black are miss wired on the battery?
and what could I possibly have fried?
i checked the battery output and it said 17.65. Im not sure Im using my meter right though. the black meter connecter is in COM and the red one is on V, and Im using the black V scale. My other battery reads 18.00.
I know I've screwed something up and possibly fried a good emag. (glad I didnt test it on my morlocked one,,,,)
any suggestions?
That sounds like you had the wires reveresed... but, you say they are on the right side? The red wire goes tward the back of the gun the black wire goes tward the front.
Also check to make sure your noid wire didnt break off and short out on something. The only board I have ever had that fried on me happened when the noid wire came off the board and shorted out (stock agd pack).
Guys, I offer FREE installation of the tops. If you are new to using a soldering iron or arnt sure what way the wires go, take advantage of the FREE install and send your tops in.
Flyboy im pming you now.

OK... looking at the pictures posted for the instalation previously, and also looking at my second emag battery. then the coloring on the wires is backwards on my battery. After instalation the red wire ON THE BATTERY is towards the front of the gun, but connected to the post towards the back of the gun as the red wire should be, The black is just opposit.Originally Posted by KCs-RTule
So was my battery wired wrong or do the colors not matter. I have no problem soldering simple things , But if its back wards how would i know? Red is suposed to be hot right? Black negative or ground? I know some housing codes have changed, lol but thought this would be right.
But if you are saying .. the wire towards the back of the battery should always be towards the back of the gun and color doest matter... acckkkk
Nope the only thing you need to remember is that the red wire connects to the post at the back of the gun. You have it wired correctly.
From our PMs it sounds like you noid wire came off and shorted out the board.
Thats just bad luck man.

The Innova Champion XCaliber is a very fast stable to overstable long distance driver. It flies extremely fast with glide and stability. The XCaliber achieves maximum distance when thrown low, flat, and hard. The XCaliber has the stability to let the biggest arms throw with full power. Handles headwinds so it's the one for confident bombs in windy conditions. If you have a cannon for an arm, you'll want an XCaliber. For those who just have to have the biggest and the baddest. 21.2 cm diameter.
Definitely not designed for beginning players. The flight characteristic of the XCaliber is a lot like a Max with more speed and more glide. The XCaliber is a more stable version of the Destroyer, but like the Destroyer, it is great for sidearm throwers and those with lots of power.
It is a great choice for serious power players, maximum distance, long hyzers, headwind drives, sidearm shots for distance and advanced players looking for a stable, wind fighting distance disc.
Speed 12, Glide 4, Turn 0, Fade 4.
About Champion plastic in general - it is more stable than all other plastics. It provides outstanding performance and durability. Champion golf discs retain original flight characteristics much longer and are distinguished by their clear or pearlescent colors.
About Color and Availability - pictured above are some available Champion colors. This model may not be available in all of these colors. Likewise, each weight range may not be available in all colors. Therefore we ask you to list and prioritize your color preferences and to give us guidance if the color or weight range you want happens to not be available. Feel free to contact us if you need more specific info.

"The XCaliber is my distance driver of choice, with both speed and predictablility I can trust it in any situation." - Steve Brinster
"The XCaliber, also known as the XCal, can be used in an array of shots. I love it for HUUUUGE hyzers and head winds shots. I like to classify this as a high speed Firebird, that's gets you more distance. Also a very functional disc for power side arm shots." - Ken Franks
"When I need to go long at full power, the XCaliber comes out. It's not too stable nor is it under-stable and I know I can trust it in windy conditions. It's very fast and controllable, perfect for very long straight shots, perfect if you have the power and you want to out drive the competition and even perfect for my back-hand rollers." - Simon Lizotte

DURHAM, N.C. – Solid defensive play and a late goal from junior forward Jessica Buttinger lifted the ninth-ranked Duke field hockey team to a 1-0 shutout of No. 15 Old Dominion Sunday, Sept. 15 at Williams Field at Jack Katz Stadium. The Blue Devils moved to 5-1 with the decision while picking up their second victory of the year over a ranked opponent.
"It was a great battle," said head coach Pam Bustin. "[Old Dominion is] a fantastic team and it was just a matter of that one goal, who it was going to be. I was really proud of our team to stay on task and they kept their composure as the clock was winding down. I think they were able to come together as a team and really keep the ball on our attacking end."
Redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Lauren Blazing matched a career high with eight saves, anchoring the Duke defense to its second shutout of the 2013 campaign. Old Dominion (1-5) outshot the Blue Devils by a 15-10 margin and led in penalty corners, 9-4, but it was the Blue Devils who were able to capitalize on a late scoring opportunity to tally their third consecutive win.
Both teams pushed the pace of the game from the opening whistle and a defensive battle quickly emerged. Duke's backline staved off a number of scoring threats by the Monarchs, who fired four shots in the first half of the period. Each squad earned a penalty corner within the final five minutes of the opening stanza, but saves by Blazing and Old Dominion's Megan Hept kept the score knotted 0-0 heading into the break.
The Monarchs had three penalty corner opportunities to start the second half, but the Blue Devil defense continued to cut off looks at the goal. Old Dominion's defense held up on the other end through a pair of Duke corners before Buttinger knocked in the gamewinner in the 65th minute on a feed from junior midfielder Abby Beltrani. The 1-0 score would stand for the remaining five minutes of action, sending the Blue Devils to 4-0 on their home turf.
"I feel like in our history when we play against them, we both bring our 'a' games and it's always a tough battle," Buttinger said. "They're an amazing opponent, so it feels pretty good to get the win."
Buttinger's goal marked her second of the season, while Beltrani continues to lead Duke in the assists category with four this year. Meanwhile, with the shutout, the Blue Devil defense moved its goals allowed average to just 1.09 per contest.
"You never know how many opportunities you're going to get in a game," Bustin said. "For us, we've had games where we've had more than our share. So today we had to make the ones we did have count. Again, I was really proud that they stayed on it and didn't get flustered with the opportunities and found a way to finish."
Duke continues its homestand next weekend, hosting Northwestern Friday, Sept. 20 at 6 p.m. and Radford Sunday, Sept. 22 at 1 p.m. in a pair of non-conference matches. Both games will be streamed live on GoDuke.com Inside Access.

The Vikes applied a lot of pressure in a 69-3 win over Mendon on Wednesday night, as the Vikings are getting into postseason mode.
"We're real close," said Bronson coach Al Sosinski. "We try to take it one day at a time. The guys are zeroing in on that (districts) — They talk about it all the time."

Mendon's lone win came at 112 pounds, with Caleb Henckel taking a 10-5 decision over Wes Disbro.
The Vikings will get a pre-district tuneup on Saturday at the Niles-Brandywine Tournament, which includes 12 to 14 teams. Bronson hosts the Div. 4 District on Wednesday, Feb. 6 at 6 p.m. The Vikings
will face the winner of Athens/Union City in the final 10 minutes after the conclusion of the opening match.
"Saturday will be a good tournament for us," said Sosinski. "The guys are having a lot of fun."

Luther's eight game win streak was snapped this afternoon as SUNY Cortland defeated the Norse 9-1 in five innings.
Leading 3-1 entering the top half of the third, Cortland scored six runs following a two-out error by the Norse that kept the inning alive. The frame was capped off by a grand slam home run to left field.
Luther's lone run of the ball game was produced on a sacrifice fly by Kelsey Weindruch in the second.
The loss gives Luther an overall record of 33-10. The Norse will face Texas-Tyler tomorrow at Noon in an elimination game. Earlier today Texas-Tyler eliminated Central College 5-4 in eight innings.

A man was transported to the hospital Wednesday morning after he was found bloodied and not breathing near Baseline Road and Mohawk Drive, according to police.
The call came in at around 6:30 a.m. Monday after a person noticed a man in his 20s lying on the ground with blood on his face and on the ground, according to police radio traffic.
Police responded and indicated he was not breathing and that CPR was in progress.
Boulder police Detective Tom Trujillo said there was a good chance the incident was a medical situation. The man was transported to Boulder Community Hospital, but Trujillo did not know his condition.
The man apparently was found on a parking-garage ramp at the Vistoso condominiums at 4500 Baseline Road.

After about 6 hours of debate, members of the Colorado House on Friday afternoon gave preliminary approval of a bill banning high-capacity ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds.
"An overwhelming majority of Coloradans support limiting these high-capacity ammunition magazines and it's our job in the legislature to implement the will of the people," said House assistant Majority Leader Dan Pabon, D-Denver.
Republicans could force a roll call vote later today on the bill, otherwise a final House vote will be taken on Monday. Democrats control the House 37-28, though not all party members were on board with passing a measure to ban high-capacity ammunition magazines.
The vote came after Republicans implored members to vote against what they called a "flawed" measure that would infringe on Second Amendment rights and kill jobs.
"It's not good for Colorado and I urge that we do what's right and kill this bill," said House Minority Leader Mark Waller, R-Colorado Springs.
In a last-minute effort to kill the bill, Denver-based Alfred Manufacturing, announced Friday afternoon that if the measure passes, the company will leave the state.
The move follows the announcement from Magpul, Colorado's largest and most profitable high capacity ammunition magazine manufacturer.
Republicans leadership presented the a letter from Alfred on the House floor.
"We are a third-generation Colorado company that has been committed to this state since my grandfather founded the company in 1948," Greg Alfred, the company's chief executive, wrote in the letter. "However, if House Bill 1224 passes, we will plain and simply have no choice but to relocate part or all of our operations to another state."
Alfred also said that the bill has caused him to freeze a planned expansion of plans in Colorado.
Magpul designs, markets and distributes weapons components and high-capacity magazines. It also does some manufacturing, but contracts out much of that work to Colorado suppliers like Alfred Manufacturing. Alfred, which got its start 65 years ago as a machine shop, uses plastic injection molding to create the gun accessories and ammunition magazine cases that Magpul sells. Alfred is a key manufacturer among more than a dozen firms that Magpul works with across the Front Range.
House Bill 1224 is sponsored by state Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, and passed on a party line vote out of the House Judiciary Committee Tuesday.
Opening remarks on the House floor Friday surrounded a committee report that increases a ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines from 10 to 15 rounds. Much of the debate also centered around a Democratic amendment to the bill that clarifies manufactures can make and sell high-capacity magazines to individuals out-of-state and the U.S. military. The amendment came in response to a Colorado magazine manufacturer vowing to leave state if the measure passes.
"This further enhances public safety," said Fields. "Look at all the mass shootings that happen with these magazines."
Fields went on to list mass shootings at an elementary in Newtown, Conn., an Aurora movie theater and outside a Safeway in Tucson, Ariz., as examples of shootings where gunmen had high-capacity ammunition magazines.
Meanwhile, Republicans argued that the bill is not about public safety and is instead a measure that lacks substance and is more about appearance.
"Is there any study out there that shows a ban on high-capacity magazines prevent shootings or save lives?" questioned Waller. "I don't think there is ... in fact, there isn't."
"We're going to pass this legislation for no other reason — none, zero — than to feel good," Waller said.
House Bill 1224 says that if an individual already owns a high-capacity magazine on the effective date of the bill's becoming law, then that individual may retain it. Prosecutors would bear the burden of proof that an owner violated the new stricture.
On Thursday Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper expressed support for a ban on limiting gun magazines to 15 rounds.
Manufacturers would still be able to produce these magazines within the state, supporters say.
"We will leave if it passes," said Doug Smith, Magpul's Chief Operating Officer said Thursday. Smith has said that no amendment to the measure would keep the company here in Colorado.
Under the legislation, manufacturers would be required to engrave each magazine with a serial number and date upon which it was produced — something Smith said is "burdensome and unnecessary."
On Friday state Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thorton, offered an amendment that clarifies manufacturers could still sell high-capacity magazines to out-of-state vendors that range from the U.S. military to law enforcement.
"I want it to be clear that manufacturers can still do business here in Colorado," Salazar said of the amendment, which passed.
Republicans contested the amendment, calling it an "oops amendment," and argued that it's unfair that a company can produce the device, but can't sell it in Colorado.
"This just doesn't make sense, it's wildly inconsistent," Waller said. "It seems Democrats want to ban individual rights to have these magazines, but allow business of these magazines to continue."
Salazar said his amendment reflects constituents' concerns and what Magpul told him they would like to see in the measure.
"They (Magpul) may be against the bill, but this amendment represents the language they wanted to see in the bill to possibly stay," Salazar said.
State Rep. Lori Saine, a Republican from Dacano, represents the district where Magpul is housed.
"The bill will decrease public safety, will limit law-abiding citizens from protecting themselves and will encourage criminals to have these magazines," Saine said before the House.
Saine also called the measure a "jobs killing bill," because of Magpul's threat to leave the state if it passes.
"Limiting the number of bullets will save lives," said state Rep. Lois Court, D-Denver of the bill. "It's intuitive ... more bullets, more weapons, more killing. Less bullets, less weapons , less killing."
But some Democrats have expressed they will vote against the legislation.
"This is an emotional issue and we're just reacting to an emotional issue," said state Rep. Ed Vigil, D-Fort Garland, who planned to vote against the measure.

So she used the opportunity to draw attention to a crisis — the kidnapping of more than 200 Nigerian girls. The Oscar-nominated actress carried a sign with the hashtag "Bring Back Our Girls" as she walked in front of a throng of cameras to a preview of her animated film "The Prophet" on Saturday.
The "Bring Back Our Girls" slogan has been used on social media. Notable figures including U.S. first lady Michelle Obama have posed with the message to urge the return of the girls, taken hostage by the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram a month ago.
Hayek is not the only Cannes participant to use the media to draw attention to a topical event. On Friday, the cast of the Turkish film "Winter's Sleep" held up signs with the hashtag Soma.
Soma is the Turkish city where 301 people were killed in an explosion and fire in a coal mine, the country's worst mining accident.

Boucher said police do not yet have a cause for the accident.

The closure of Homefront developer Kaos Studios earlier this year left the future of the near-future shooter franchise in question, but THQ announced today that a sequel's on the way. Surprisingly, it'll be made by Crysis creator Crytek.
THQ coyly avoids saying much about the game, but in 2010 it spoke of plans for a Homefront: London at some point in the series. Whatever this sequel turns out to be, it's headed to PC and consoles in 2014.
"Selecting Crytek to take Homefront forward underscores our strategy of working with the industry's best talent," THQ core games EVP Danny Bilson said in the announcement. "With Crytek's industry leading technology and legendary experience in the FPS genre, we're supremely confident that the next Homefront will deliver that AAA-quality experience that players demand."
Crytek is also unsurprisingly enthusiastic, with CEO Cevat Yerli saying, "We see Homefront as a really strong universe that has a lot of potential and that has been expertly created and marketed by THQ."
"We believe that bringing our level of quality, creativity and production values to the next Homefront title creates an opportunity for both THQ and Crytek to deliver a truly blockbuster game. It's really important to us that THQ has the faith in giving us a lot of creative freedom over one of its most important properties to allow us to bring the Homefront world to life in a new and innovative way."
Evidently, THQ's new strategy of focusing on "high-quality owned IP with broad appeal" includes using external studios to work on its own properties. That recent "strategic realignment" saw THQ close another two of its internal studios lay off around 200 people as it moved away from making licensed and kids' games.
The original Homefront launched to a lukewarm critical reception in March, but, according to THQ estimates, sold one million units in its first ten days. Today's announcement described Homefront as "a commercial success for THQ."

Stanczyk wanted to take a moment to say, "Thanks". You may recall I did my due diligence on the Genealogy Website Rankings. I added my own blog website for reference. At the time of the survey I was a little over 12.8 Million-th most popular website on the Internet. Out of the billions of pages, I thought that was a great start.
For kicks, I went to Alexa.com and inquired if my ranking had changed. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I was now the 10.3 Million-th most popular website. That is an improvement of 2.5 Million in about one month ! So I just wanted to say thanks. I am hoping to eventually crack the top 1 Milliion (with perhaps a dream of being in the top 100,000 some day). I asked for your support and I can definitely see that I received it. Thank You very much for lending me your eyes.
I am also looking for people to help me in my volunteer efforts. If you can read Polish (or even Russian, I saw two projects for Ukraine-Kiev church records), then you can join with me on one of two projects: Lublin and/or Radom. I chose Radom as it was close to my grandparent's ancestral villages (Biechow/Pacanow).
Most projects are for English language records. Of those, many are in the USA, so you could pick your local area and get a local genealogy society or historical society to pitch in. It will provide more data for all of us to research. If you want to thank me, but only read English then perhaps you can pick from a project for: Philadelphia, Buffalo, Toledo, Detroit (or Michigan in general). This is another way you can lend me your eyes and feel good about doing some volunteer work (Random Act of Genealogical Kindness, anyone?).
Two Polish projects open at present.
As I said, I chipped in some effort to read one batch (of 12 birth church records). The records I was given in my first batch were from 1866 in the Radom diocese. This data (index and images) will be free to search from their website: FamilySearch.org (Europe Record Groups) .
Good Luck & Thanks again!
— Stanczyk

Huskers Head to Iowa for Hawkeye Invitational
at Hawkeye Invitational
Date: Nov. 30 - Dec. 2
Location: Campus Recreation and Wellness Center, Iowa City, Iowa
Time: 10 a.m. / 6 p.m. (Friday & Saturday) 10 a.m. / 4 p.m. (Sunday)
The Nebraska swimming and diving team travels to Iowa City, Iowa, on Friday, Nov. 30, for the annual Hawkeye Invitational held at the University of Iowa's Campus Recreation and Wellness Center. The squad will compete in preliminaries at 10 a.m. each day, with finals at 6 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday and at 4 p.m. on Sunday. Denver, Milwaukee, Washington State, Michigan, Northwestern, and Iowa will all be present in what looks to be Nebraska's toughest test on the season thus far.
This weekend's invitational will be a good gauge of how much the Huskers have improved from a year ago, as they look to see where they stand in the Big Ten this season. It will be Nebraska's first time facing Big Ten opposition since February's Big Ten Championships. The Huskers finished eleventh at the meet, ahead of Michigan State. Northwestern, Michigan, and Iowa finished seventh, eighth, and ninth, respectively.
Following this weekend's invitational, the Huskers will have over a month off before holiday training in January. The squad's next official meet won't be until January 19th, when they host San Diego State in a dual at the Devaney Natatorium beginning at 1 p.m.
Last Time at Hawkeye Invitational: Husker Divers Shine at Iowa Invitational (12/4/11)
Payton Michaud and Amy Herman led the way for the Nebraska diving team at the Iowa Invitational in Iowa City, Iowa. The three-day event concluded with six top-eight finishes for the Huskers.
Michaud led the way for NU, finishing fourth in both the one-meter and three-meter dives. Michaud's performance in the three-meter was a career best at 306.05. Her previous best (284.63) was set earlier this season in a dual against UNO. Herman also dove her way to a career-best in the platform dive. Herman finished second in the event with a score of 264.85.
Alyson Ramsey and Kailey Harmon finished fifth and sixth, respectively, in the platform event. Kaitlan Walker earned a sixth-place finish in the three-meter at 282.50.
Last Time Out: Huskers Take Third at Kansas Classic (11/18/12)
The Nebraska swimmers finished competition in the Kansas Classic at the Capital Federal Natatorium on Sunday. The Huskers finished in third place with a team score of 674 on the weekend. Notre Dame (976.5) and Kansas (853.5) placed first and second, respectively.
The Huskers got off to a great start on Sunday, with Bailey Pons winning the 1,650-yard freestyle in a meet record time of 16:48.88. Katt Sickle (17:16.92) and Morgan Flannigan (17:23.56) finished fifth and sixth, respectively. Ashleigh Grammar finished in 14th with a time of 18:14.60.
Ariel Weech was the other Husker winner on the day, as she was victorious in the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 51.31 seconds. Additionally, Hayley Martin had a big day for the Huskers, placing fourth in the 200-yard backstroke (2:02.81), seventh in the 100-yard freestyle (52.65), and earning a second place finish as a part of the 400-yard freestyle relay team.
Ashley Reiter finished fifth in the 200-yard breastroke, while Kristin Strecker finished in eighth. Natalie Morris placed fourth in the 200-yard butterfly with a time of 2:06.42.
Other top-16 Husker finishers were Ellan Dufour (200 Back), Ashley Reiter (100 Breast), Kelsey Larson (200 Breast), Melisa Mexia (200 Butterfly), and Kelly Dunn (100 Free).
Overall, Nebraska won four of the eighteen events on the weekend, with Bailey Pons winning both the 500- and 1,650-yard freestyles to lead the way.

The deal isn't done yet, but Dr. Dre is already being hyped as hip-hop's first billionaire.
That's because, as reported in the Mercury News, Dre is reportedly selling Beats Electronics, a headphone maker and streaming-music business, to Apple for $3.2 billion.
Right -- "billion." Yeah, that's a "b."
While the deal is described by various sources as still in talks, with an announcement expected next week, a Facebook video uploaded by actor Tyrese Gibson makes it look like maybe the deal is done.
Gibson jokes about a Forbes magazine list that ranked Dre -- the CEO of Beats Electronics -- second on its list the wealthiest hip-hop artists of 2014 with an estimated wealth of $550 million.
"They need to update the Forbes list," Gibson jokes on the video. "(Expletive) just changed."
Dre adds, "The first billionaire in hip-hop, right here from the mother (expletive) West Coast."
Ahhhh yeah.
According to Forbes, the richest man in hip-hop is Sean Combs, who is apparently worth $700 million. Jay Z is in third place with $520 million.
Right now, Beyonce is telling someone he needs to get to work.
The Post said the video on Gibson's Facebook page has been pulled, but is still on YouTube.

There will be a new vehicle patrolling Chenoa in the coming weeks. The city council decided at its meeting Monday that it was more feasible to purchase another vehicle than to sink money into the one that is currently in dire need of repair.
Police Chief Travis Cornwall proposed to the council the idea of purchasing a used Ford Expedition that has a two-year option instead of fixing the Ford Explorer that is currently in need of a new motor. Mayor Don Corrie pointed out that the motor had blown on the Explorer.
Cornwall said that the cost of repairing the Explorer was estimated to be $5,300. He added that Goodin's Used Cars would buy the Explorer for $2,500. Cornwall said this is what the best trade-in price would be.
Cornwall also said that the Expedition is a larger vehicle and would be able to house the cage for the K-9 unit.
Plus, the newer vehicle was built as a police vehicle and has $2,000-$2,500 worth of equipment already in place, whereas the Explorer was modified after being built. This makes the Expedition a more-ready vehicle for the department.
The Expedition has 87,000 miles where the Explorer had more than 110,000 miles, Cornwall said.
The cost for the Expedition is $13,700. Cornwall said that some of the money — $5,000 — to purchase the vehicle would come from the K-9 drug account.
City Treasurer Phil Harland said there was money available in the General Fund but not in the police account.
The council agreed to move up to $8,000 from the General Fund to cover the cost of the vehicle.
In an unrelated matter, Cornwall said he has put in for a grant to obtain equipment for the police interview room. This includes recording equipment.
Commissioner Eric Rhoda said that a preliminary cost for sewer and water lines to for the southwest part of Chenoa is between $96,000 and $107,000. He said this is what he was told by the engineers.
He also said there is more than enough money in the Motor Fuel Tax fund to cover the cost.
Rhoda also said Union Pacific is looking at placing a fence along the tracks going through the city. This would be a similar project to what took place at Odell.
Commissioner Don Schultheis gave his first report to the council. He focused on water meters, pointing out the new Galaxy system being installed will send a report every hour from the home to the tower, and give a report every six hours to the Water Department. Schultheis said this should detect leaks quickly. He also said that 240 have been installed.
In another matter, Schultheis said that the delinquent water bill situation needs to be resolved. He pointed out that the city is owed $12,028.66 from accounts that are now beyond 60 days past due.
Corrie said the city needs to be stronger in enforcing this matter.
City replacing police car

I'm writing in response to the Nov. 30 letter to the editor from Terri Wells of Washington Township dealing with political signs that were stolen.
I agree. It's a shame that people choose to take out their frustration in such a manner. Unfortunately, we have become a country with two very distinct and separate populations. We have very different and very strong opinions that only have been magnified by the current administration.
Half of us believe in the American dream, capitalism, and small government. We believe that with hard work and a self-reliant approach (and God's grace) the sky is the limit. We believe the government should work for the people, not the other way around.
The other half of the population believes something very different — big government, redistribution of wealth, "trickle-up" economics — the European way.
We most likely aren't going to change their minds, and vice versa.
I confess that I was one of the many who didn't believe that the Nov. 6 election would be close. I never thought that even one-third of the voters would choose four more years of a failed debacle. Alas, 51 percent did.
I can't imagine why people would want record unemployment, welfare and food stamps. Or, why people would support an administration that doubled our national debt in less than four years.
The one comment Wells made that compelled me to write this letter was that Mitt Romney "is a tax dodger." That is patently false and reprehensible.
Romney's considerable fortune was earned through hard work and smart business. He paid taxes when he earned the money, and he now pays taxes on the earnings from his investments.
Capital gains are currently taxed at 15 percent. Whether someone is a "fat cat" or a regular Joe like me, the tax rate for that kind of income currently is 15 percent. Romney has paid more than $60 million in taxes in his lifetime.
Additionally, Romney has given millions to charity, without taking all of the tax deductions to which he was entitled.
It also takes great nerve to point to Romney with regard to the Libya embassy attack. That tragedy has the appearance of a massive coverup by the Obama administration.
I also found it ironic that Wells made a parallel to Franklin D. Roosevelt — the president who started many of the social programs that have ballooned into such a mess today.
In any event, I'm sure Wells' half of the country will continue to think that the election was historic and great, and my half will continue to think it was and is a sad time in the history of this nation.
It is nevertheless still unfortunate that Wells' signs were stolen.

Victoria Zdrok, Ph.D.
We get it. You're not into commitment and long term relationships at this stage in your life; you just want to score some raunchy sex with a hot babe. There's nothing wrong with that, and believe it or not there are plenty of smokin' girls looking for a night of passionate sex with no strings attached. The trick to a successful one-nighter is finding the perfect Ms. Right Now. And while finding a sex-seeking hottie in a crowd of women with romance on their minds may seem like an impossible task, you can zero in on the free spirits if you know what to look for, both in looks and behavior.
-Dressed To Thrill
Here's a good rule of thumb: The more skin she shows, the more skin you're likely to get by night's end. This seems like common sense, but scientific research consistently shows that sexually adventurous women tend to wear skimpier clothing than their more repressed companions. One study showed that ovulating women are more likely to dress provocatively, but beware that biological imperative and make sure you're safe; women may not realize it, but they get hornier at this time of the month because it's when they're most likely to get pregnant. A sexily dressed woman feels good about her body and may even be a bit of an exhibitionist, whereas a self-conscious woman is unlikely to feel comfortable enough to undress in front of a stranger. Don't waste your time on the sexy librarian in the turtleneck go for the girl in the low-cut tank and barely there miniskirt.
-The Devil Is In The Details
If she has a manicure and pedicure, she's been to the salon; she may also have a fresh Brazilian wax to show off. And if she's got tattoos and piercings, she has a wild streak that bodes well for you. A tongue piercing is especially good she probably likes to demonstrate her oral prowess.
-Alone In A Crowd
When a woman is alone at a nightclub or a bar, she is most likely looking for a hookup. This is good for you, as you won't have to deal with resistance from her buddies, and good for her, since she won't have to put up with disapproving glances or follow-up questions from her girlfriends. If you are checking out a group of women, go after the least attractive one. She'll be flattered and appreciative, since she rarely gets the attention when she's out with her friends. Or look for the one who seems left out of the clique. She's ready to be rescued.
-Dirty Dancing
If you're in a dance club, look for a girl who is shaking it like a milkshake on the dance floor. She knows how to move, and she's comfortable with a lot of male attention two solid indicators that she's up for a one-night stand. The conventional wisdom that a woman who's a good dancer is good in bed is commonly believed because there's truth in it. Dance really is a vertical expression of a horizontal desire.
-Trap The Tourists
We've all felt the appeal of sex with a stranger while away from home and our more censorious friends. Foreign tourists, in particular, often look to sample the legal goods because they know that when they get back their friends will ask, "So, did you hook up with any Americans? How do they compare?" Foreign college students often make good targets. (Trust me, I was one!) If you don't live in a tourist town, check out conventions in your area, which are usually held at big hotels. Traveling businesswomen frequently get lonely and go looking for a little no-strings-attached companionship once they're away from gossiping colleagues.
-Go Cougar Hunting
Don't just target pretty young things. Research shows that women in their thirties and forties are hornier and more likely to reach orgasm than women in their twenties. Hot-looking 50-year-olds on the prowl are an even easier target. They're less likely to get a lot of male attention, so they frequently adopt a carpe noctem ("seize the night") attitude. And don't forget MILFs. They already have kids, so they're not looking at you as a potential father. In fact, MILFs are likely to care more about the bulge in your jeans than the quality of your genes.
