Before you continue reading, please, please do me this one favor — Read the entire blog post. It is not too long; I promise it won't be a waste of your time. Regardless of how you feel on the subject of Jesus, God, or the Gospel, please read the entire thing. Thank you.
— Benjamin M. Bryant, author of BenBRockN.wordpress.com
To you who are reading this, I do not know you, but I deeply care about you and love you as a person no matter what you have done in the past or continue to do in the future. I not only want you to understand how high the stakes are when it comes to this thing we call life, but I also want to know you as a person, and as a friend. This plea isn't just "get out of the fire while you still can", it is also an invitation to journey with you, whoever you are, to help you, to love you as a person, to be your friend – a real friend –, and to answer any questions you have about the Gospel or Jesus or God or whatever. I really do care about you, and that's why I write this. I write this out of genuine love and care, and yet sadness, knowing that many won't hear this message preached to them or to those that do hear it will ignore it. I weep for them because I know the end that they will face when they die. If I was apathetic towards you or hated you, I would not go to such lengths to help you! If no one has ever said this to you, at least genuinely, I care about you and I love you for who you are, a person made beautifully in God's image! (Genesis 1:27).
Here is commentary on Philippians 2:10-11, the Bible verse that says:
"Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord of all"
(Philippians 2:10-11, Romans 14:11, & Isaiah 45:23)
What this means, is that Jesus is the only path that leads to God and His Kingdom, Heaven. The only way the other paths "lead to God" is that they lead to Him, but with negative judgment. God explained what He wants from us in His Word, the Bible. People disobey it every day but some ask for forgiveness and try to repent (turn from their sin), but many don't. People utter careless words every day. They hurt people, even kill them; people do all kinds of things. God's Word is out there for any of these people to read but most ignore it. God calls out to them through the conscience He has given them, but they ignore it. God calls out to them through people who speak about His word, but they ignore it. Others can quote facts and research, but no matter how convincing the evidence is, most people won't listen to it — even though they will blindly trust and follow after other things in life. This goes on for years and years. Every single chance is ignored — but they don't try seek after God or turn from sin, they openly defy Him at every conceivable turn for an entire lifetime. God judges everyone fairly, and the wages of our sin (which is everyone's issue, including me) is physical and spiritual death apart from God. If it wasn't for the fact that He sent His Son, Jesus, to save humankind from our sin, there would be no hope for humanity! But because of Jesus, God leans graciously on the side of humankind. Forgiveness and new life in Christ is easy, free, and available to all people regardless of race, gender, family, nationality, creed, life circumstances, or what you've done in the past, present, or future. But for most people, despite everything — the miracles, the history, the Gospel, the prophecy, the warnings — people still won't listen to Him.
God states, as said in Ezekiel 18:32:
""For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies," declares the Lord GOD. "Therefore, repent and live.""
Through the Apostle Peter in 2 Peter 3:9, God repeats His desire for humanity to turn from sin and run back into His loving arms:
"The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." (NIV)
God doesn't want to condemn anyone, He sent His Son Jesus to save us. All we have to do is wholeheartedly believe and trust in Christ and the Gospel (the Good News of Jesus' saving Grace). But God is still a perfectly righteous, fair, and just judge. The wages/the penalty/the debt that sin stains our lives with is not only physical death on earth but also spiritual death — forever being cast out and away from God's Kingdom (Heaven) because God is so Holy and full of Awe that our sin-stained soul could not bear it in His presence. After death, there are only two places a human soul can go — God's Kingdom called Heaven, or the prison for Satan and His demons called Hell (Matthew 25:41). Hell was not created for humankind, God created us to be in His presence (Genesis 1 & 2), but if we decide here on earth that we don't want God, we can't be with Him when we die (2 Peter 2:4-9).
Therefore, after a person lives an entire lifetime of turning away from every conceivable call that is sent out for them, rejecting everything that was available to them, rejecting Jesus as their Savior from sin; God is left with the only other available choice, which is condemning them (rightly judging them for their sin). When you reject the only thing which will save you, you perish. That's not God's fault, it's ours, the blood is on our own hands. It's the responsibility of each person in the world to turn to Jesus, and the responsibility of every Christian in the world to speak the Truth of Christ's Gospel into people's lives, so that they might be saved (Mark 16:15, Matthew 28:18-20, Luke 24:46-47, John 20:21).
If you don't believe me, these are Jesus' own words in John 3:16-19:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil." (NIV)
So I say to you again, as this may be the last time you hear these words of saving grace, what do you choose today? I care about you, a complete stranger, so much that I need you to understand this, what do you choose right now? This very second? Do you choose to ignore these words and continue to live your life however you want – destined to die forever apart from God and forever suffering in prison, or do you choose to live for God and repent* so that you can be saved from God's Holy, Perfect, Good, and Just wrath on sin? *(Repentance = a daily confirmation to humbly turn from sinful actions and turn to God).
This is the most important decision in your life, in anyone's life! You are not guaranteed tomorrow, you could die in your sleep tonight, or crossing the street, or even a few seconds after reading this post from a brain aneurysm or pulmonary embolism or a heart-attack, or a host of any other natural occurrences. No one is guaranteed this life or how long they have to live, that is why everyone needs to hear this Gospel message today, while it is still considered today! (James 4:14, Proverbs 27:1).
Please, please, heed these words, and if only for a second, think deeply about your life. Sin is anything that "misses the mark" of God's Holy, Good, and Perfect nature. Not all things are sinful – don't be confused -, but ask yourself these things:
- Have you ever lied, even if it was to help someone?
- Have you ever stolen, even if it was when you were a child?
- Have you ever hated someone in your heart?
- Have you ever cheated anyone out of something?
- Have you ever been unfaithful in a relationship?
- Have you passed a person in a broken-down car and decided not to help them?
- Have you passed up the homeless and not helped them?
- Have you ever saw someone being bullied or hurt, and chose to turn away or walk by?
(Deuteronomy 5:4-21, Matthew 5:21-48, Zechariah 7:10, Isaiah 1:16-17)
What I'm trying to get at is that everyone sins, no one is perfect like God, and that is exactly why we need God, because we can't live up to His Perfect, Good, Holy standard of living (Romans 3:23, Mark 10:18, Isaiah 64:6, Romans 3:10-12). In the court of God's Holiness and Goodness, no one can stand because everyone, everywhere has sinned against Him and others. And God is a Good and Just God, and because of that He cannot allow injustice to go unpunished, however great or small, and He must punish those who have sinned against Him and other people (Ecclesiastes 3:17, Colossians 3:25, Psalm 25:8-9, 2 Thessalonians 1:6). But God is also a Good, Good, Father and loves humanity so much that He created a way to save us from His Just wrath on sin and banishment from His Kingdom; He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die for everyone's sins, so that whoever believes in Jesus' name will not perish by His wrath, but will be saved and join Him in His Kingdom called Heaven (Mark 10:18/Romans 8:15-16/Galatians 4:7, Romans 5:8, John 3:16-18, John 14:1-6).
Stranger… Friend… Please do not turn your head away from these words, please let them sink deep into your soul and touch your heart. God doesn't want this for you, for you to die apart from Him; that's the whole reason He pursued us so amazingly to save us! I genuinely hope that after reading this you pray (a heartfelt talk) to God and/or contact me below. I worry about you stranger, I will be praying for you and I hope you run to Jesus. Amen.

My aboriginal big acquirement in FIFA
I acquire Pogba. My aboriginal big purchase. For 100 amateur he was non existant. Couldnt l9cate him on the field.Then he woke up, started to ageclike a accomplished wine.
Now hes accepting goals or assists about anniversary game. Crazy. At 200 amateur 67 goals 47 assists and thats afterwards alone a brace in the 1st 100.
My advice, and buck in apperception i deceit even authorize for wl, is to play him at cam. Not cm or cdm which i did in the 1st 100. And if you are larboard accessible anywhere abreast the top of the box blaze it at a bend of the goal. Scores about every time.
Edit: looked atvthe pic now. Impaired me. Backpack on.
My div 1 acceptable aggregation I upgraded a few players, Gomez of Barca to SIF N'zonzi, IF tolisso, started disturbing immediatly! Changed aback and aback to normal, maybe a brainy thing, but account abundant added with lower rated.
No lies, SIF Iborra is the realest absolute accord that you can get for a steal. He's like 40k and he controls the midfield like a taller Vieira. Wins every attack that comes his way and is abundant on corners.
Passes absolute able-bodied and has a banging attack if you anytime activate yourself on the bend of the box with him. Surprisingly doesn't even feel that bulky for 58 clip but you absolutely can't acquaint how apathetic he is. 100% Recommended.
I deceit get Pogba to do bits its like accurate feet. I may just advertise him. i dont even apperceive anymore. This year I face the aforementioned meta body and its just ugh.
Is it account advance in Payet? Thauvin can't get aback to aback IF's and Payet did get two assists, idk if that's abundant but maybe he ability acceleration absolutely off advertising amid now and next Wednesday.
He hasn't gone up yet. In actuality he was advancing down in bulk harder appear the afterwards stages of the game.I bought one for 70k because realistically: I will either lose 10k max or accomplish a abundant bulk when/if he does get his IF.

1461 Floral Clash 3 Eyelet Shoe
Originally sold as a durable working man's shoe, the 1461 became popular with political protesters in the late 60s and 70s – and eventually made its way into the closets of university students across Britain. The best thing about the 1461? It's always been a blank slate for self-expression and reinvention.
Inspired by 90s fabrics unearthed in British vintage stores, this iteration of the 1461 is ready to rock. True to form, the shoe retains all its classic Doc DNA, including grooved sides, yellow stitching and the iconic air-cushioned sole.

|I'm Okay

"I'm Okay" is the eighteenth video in the EverymanHYBRID series.
YouTube DescriptionEdit
"And thus the roadtrip continues.
Maybe I'd think of something poetic, but I have to keep moving.
I have to do this alone. And now."
[Interior, Jeff is walking through an abandoned building.]
Jeff: This probably isn't the best of ideas to be here by myself. But dreams are a good guide. I never really told you guys about a story about when I got stuck in my old elementary school when I was younger. There was a fire that broke out in the science room, somewhere that way [pointing the camera], and it just escalated. Every student was accounted for but they completely overlooked me.
I was in a burning building by myself. I don't like thinking about it.
I was in there for a solid hour hiding. I don't remember where, I'd love to find where, ya know, give me some 'Nam flashbacks why don't you...and they left me there. They just left me there to die. I was a kid. I mean, obviously they eventually found me because I'm talking to myself right now.
[There is a large amount of distortion, sounding like loud yelling/laughter, followed by Jeff sitting outside talking to the camera.]
Jeff: So I was talking to myself for an hour or so because my camera apparently just flickered out, I had no idea. So you saw me poking around my old school. It's depressing, isn't it? A place that's so important to you growing up is just complete shit house now. Whatever.
I found something, medical records. I have an idea where I'm going now. I just wanted to check in with you guys and tell everyone I'm okay. I'd rather not tell anyone where I'm going so I'm not dragging you or anyone into this. I'll keep you updated so long as I can find a Starbucks or some guy who doesn't realize his routers unlocked. I'm staying on the road. I'll be back sometime.
- Ear-splitting distortion at 1:33, that sounds like someone yelling/screaming/cackling and then a high pitched laugh at the end.
- Alex makes a video with the same name after he's attacked by the Rake.

Receptions sites in Wasatch Front?
in Utah
I am getting married in September/October, the weather is nice enough for an outdoor ceremony in the afternoon but its cool enough in the evening I should probably make sure there is an indoor option for the reception. I am looking for places in the Valley that offer both indoor and outdoor venues. I am willing to go as far as Salt Lake on the north end and as far as Provo on the south end. I am very adamant aout the site looking very plain or modern, you know, like no floral carpet! Lol. My colors are black and silver and pink so I want it to kind of match! Does anyone know of anything??? I was looking at Sleepy Ridge golf course in Orem but they are more spendy than I had intended so as much as I love them I am still gonna try to go cheaper.
Re: Receptions sites in Wasatch Front?
You wouldn't know it but Market Street Grill (off of 2-15 and 6200 s) has some great spaces to do a ceremony and reception, or just a reception if that's what you want. Indoor and outdoor options. They provide simple, clean, linens and fresh flowers for all of the tables and they have tasty food and a full bar, if that's something that's a selling point. Just an idea. I looked around and it is very affordable considering some of the other places I checked.

The Minnesota Twins will recall Southern League Most Valuable Player Max Kepler from Double-A Chattanooga, the club announced Monday night.
Kepler, a 22-year-old outfielder/first baseman from Berlin, has spent six seasons in the Twins' minor-league system. This year he was named league MVP after hitting .322 with 32 doubles, 13 triples, nine home runs, 71 RB and 76 runs scored in 112 games for the Lookouts.
The 6-foot-4, 205-pound Kepler will be in uniform for Tuesday's game against the Indians and will help Minnesota's playoff push.

The Twins also announced that Single-A Cedar Rapids Manager Jake Mauer will join the big-league coaching staff for the rest of the season.

Well I am hoping that the old saying trouble comes in threes is true as I am not sure what else I can deal with this week. On top of the troubles, last night we sold Little Dude which was really hard and I am kind of dreading Thursday already.
Truly today I would much rather be participating in my normal Tuesday cooking carnivals but our troubles started on Saturday morning, when we found our oven putting on a fireworks display! What was quite alarming were the sparks that were actually escaping out the bottom of the door! We turned the oven off but it made no difference, Steve went down and turned off the power at the mains and fortunately that put an end to the light show. Once things had cooled off we checked and discovered the element had snapped!
The oven has been having problems with temperature for a while, getting much hotter than asked, and we aren't sure if it is a faulty thermostat made the element burn out or if a faulty element was causing the temperature issues. We knew it was something we were going to have to think about at some point, although not so soon, as our hob is also on its last legs with only 2 of 4 burners working. But we had a long list of chores for the day, so we tried to put the oven out of mind and went to get on. Fortunately we may already have a solution care of some very good friends.
Sunday was another busy, busy day and as we thought we were getting to the end of it trouble number 2 hit us. We went to make a quick trip down to the local grocery store to collect scraps for Beans and discovered we had a flat tire! Steve had filled it the other day so he figured it was a slow puncture, then the kicker, while he was looking at that tire I pointed out that the front one was even flatter! We were on limited time as we needed to get to the store before it closed or Beans would be going hungry, and if you don't get there before a certain time they throw the stuff in the garbage.
We called them to let them know we were still coming, just delayed, and set about changing to winter tires as quickly as we could. I suppose I should just be grateful that over here we have to have a whole separate set of tires for the winter! Steve had a quick look at the tires and found a great big nail in the one he knew had a problem, but couldn't find anything obviously causing the problem with the other one that was flat as a pancake. Oh well we have the winter to figure that out. We made it to the store and were well rewarded with a big box of greens.
Finally, and saving the worst till last, yesterday evening as I was going out to round up Little Dude (the goose) and a couple of ducks that we had sold and were delivering that evening, I found the bylaw officer that visited last Monday. Back to charge us and give us a fine of $610! Stunned!
Last week Steve spoke to bylaw a few times to keep them posted on how we were trying to resolve the situation. That I had posted our ducks for sale on Kijiji and UsedOttawa, that we had made the earliest appointment we could at the only licensed processor in the area for the majority of the boys for Thursday. That he had a plan for the fencing to keep them contained but that with working full time there is a lack of daylight hours to get it done in. They said this was fine, we had a couple of weeks and when we were ready to let them know and they would come out and review what we had done.
You can imagine how shocked I was to be seeing the officer again giving us a fine. But apparently the 'complainant' has made out witness statements and declared a wish to go to court so here we are. He also told me that there had been many complaints going back and that now the sheep were included. I pointed out that we had no prior knowledge of complaints and he did say that he had complained to his manager that they were not aware of any previous complaints when they came out last, and he doesn't know why the other officers who received complaints wouldn't have come out to us.
I don't understand how things got to this point, we didn't know there was a problem till last Monday and we have spent the week since doing everything we can to resolve it as quickly as possible. Including selling Little Dude, which trust me wasn't an easy decision for either of us, working on the fencing, and spreading a lot of scratch on the front lawn to keep the ducks entertained. But apparently that doesn't matter.
We are both trying really hard to figure out how we stay true to ourselves and not lower ourselves to their level, but last year they came out, without speaking to us, chopped branches off our trees and dumped them on top of our fences, shorted us on our half of the hay from our fields, and now seem to be trying to make as much trouble for us as possible.
Sorry this was so long, and so much less tasty than is normal for a Tuesday! But I really needed to share/vent.

Today, 20 years ago, my father was suddenly taken from our lifes. Only a few hours before his death I was still with him not knowing what is laying ahead. Life as I knew it changed on that day. You have many questions and no answers. I remember we as a family wasn't sure how to continue life without having him in it, however I can say today we survived and made it, although you do not have all the "why" answers.
My father taught me many things and added value to my life, which I still benefit from today. You will always have memories and when you think about those memories you are taken back in time and experience them again. To trigger some of those memories you have photos:
Unfortunately digital cameras were not available yet at that time and we also didn't take that much photos using your normal cameras. Actually the last photo I have is two years prior which we've captured from a video tape.
Why am I sharing this? I want to tell anybody that has lost someone close to you that you will make it – just give it time. Keep the memories, the photos and live your life as intended. Nothing can bring them back. Although I may have lost my father I was blessed with a dad that accepted me as his own, so although I lost someone I gained someone else. You may not spend time anymore with the one you've lost but you may spend time with those that are still there. Do not waste precious time and live your life with those still in it.
PS: I did something today what I never do or did over the last 20 years and that was visiting my father's grave:
What I said 20 years ago I can still say today – he is not there…

I forgot that you had done that with the S14 subframe. Care to share that STL scan of the subframe?

Grr. Submitted my reply and the forum said I hadn't logged in recently enough and threw it out. Once again for the second time:
Started in on the assembly tonight. I'm just missing the RLCAs. Anyone have the rough dimensions of them? I remember the dimensions being in one of Jason M's threads but I couldn't find them in the 5 mins I spent looking tonight. I can always scan it in.
Should be making progress again because I'm home on break from school for the next 3 weeks. Time to start that build thread...
Yea, that seems to be difficult to find. Might be best just measuring what's on your car.
Here's what I gathered on the other links:
- Traction Rods: 8.25"
- Camber Rods: 12.25"
- Toe Rods: 13.875"
Look the same?Core4 Motorsports

Yup those measurements line up with what I've got. Except I did 8.5" on the track rod. It's real easy to change though.
I'll see what I can do about the lcas. I've got the whole front end apart so it might be a bit before I jack the rear up and tear it down.
I measured mine up quickly, but they're modified OEM arms with rod ends on the inner pivots. They should be close.
Forward pivot to BJ: 14"
Rear Pivot to BJ: 12.5"
BJ center from upright surface: 1.125-1.25"
And I checked inner pivots center-center and it matches the dimension on the S14 subframe that 2_Liter_Turbo shared.Core4 Motorsports

trac rod on my car is actually 8.5" as well so I set mine to that.
I've got a working kinematic model now. The RUCA and toe inner pivots are slotted, but I centered spheres at all the pivot locations. Initial observation is that I see that with an OEM toe rod length centered in the inner pivot the upright is toed out with the dimensions we're using. Would you like me to share in your drive?
Determining ride height is important here obviously. People typically measure from hub center to to fender lip, which is ok for an individual, but many of us have rolled and pulled or completely cut stock fenders so using that to compare isn't the best.
When I set ride height, I'm measuring link angles (LCA near BJ in front, toe rod in rear) with a digital angle finder. I *think* for a s-chassis without the subframe all the way up against the chassis shouldn't have the toe rod much passed parallel at right height. Mine is above parallel at ride height by a few degrees.Last edited by gills; 12-15-2017, 01:19 PM.Core4 Motorsports

Very cool! Please do share it in the drive. Do I need to give you permission? If you wanna pm me your email I can go ahead and add you.
Also looking at the geometry it makes sense that we would be toed out given that we're using the extended trac rod length.
Yeah finding a reliable way to reference ride height is always tricky. I'll pick up a digital angle finder and then we can be on the same page. Can you only adjust the subframe to frame spacing when you have solid bushings, like the ones from spl?
I'm not sure actually, but you'll probably need give permission. I didn't try because I didn't want to spoil your own fun, but I'll throw it in there on Monday. I'll pm you.
I set my rear ride height during my last corner balance with the toe rods at 6 degrees above parallel. They are straight toe rods. That's with my subframe tucked to chassis. Yes on the bushings.
Anyway, in the model with the camber rod at 12.25 centered in the inner eccentric and and everything else as discussed with the toe rod at my ride height, it was showing crazy camber. Like -3 or -4*, but my actual camber is -1.7. I went to check my links and it turns out the eccentric is pushed out all the way so hopefully that will make the model jive with my setup.
My toe rod is 14" with the eccentric centeted, which I also need to set in the model.Core4 Motorsports

Yeah I'll model my own also. Probably when I scan in my s13 subframe. I just wanted to see the linkage move correctly on my screen :P.
I'm interested to hear how well it matches your car once you correct the link position and length.
EDIT: I made a LCA based off your measurements. How did you do the offset joint for the lca ball joint? I've been googling it a bit and I can't find out why the "Gap" field is greyed out.Last edited by Stingy49; 12-17-2017, 09:47 PM.
OK, I added my inventor assembly into your folder.
I need to confirm that the S14 subframe model that was shared can accurately simulate the UCA and toe rod inner pivot eccentric adjustment. Right now they are just slotted in a single direction and I'm not even sure the slot range jives with what the actual eccentric can do. I'm sure they are close.
So with my link lengths at what I think my ride height should be around, I'm showing -3.75* of camber and a wicked amount of toe out.
In reality I am total toed out 1/16" at static ride height as per my last alignment (much to my disdain) and -1.7* camber. Something is off with the model and my setup, just need to determine where.
So on the surface here, the model does toe-in slightly under bump which matches what Jason M had measured along a host of other things with his setups: http://www.nissanroadracing.com/showthread.php?t=2674
I still need to delve into using dynamic simulation to actually create some meaningful graphs with respect to differing link lengths.Core4 Motorsports

I spent some time tonight and got the model to not be over constrained in the dynamic simulation environment. I also have it swinging a reasonable arc through the suspension travel. Now I just need to figure out how to get the output grapher to show what we want. It seems to only show information on the different joints or individual points (if you add them with the trace tool). Ideally I will figure out how to display plane vs a ref plane information.
To be fair we haven't confirmed the subframe model yet. I will be scanning mine in sometime next week once the turbo build is done. Buttttttt it is a s13 subframe so that doesn't really help you.
Yeah we should probably verify the actual factory adjustment range.
Always good to hear the model is behaving somewhat appropriately . As someone who has never made a moving assembly before it's pretty satisfying to see it all moving and looking realistic in Inventor.
As I was trying to figure out where to mount my td04 on the log manifold I made I was thinking how useful this 3d scanning would be for routing hoses and just figuring out how well stuff fits in the engine bay. For the turbo it's not really worth the time but it could be worth it for more space constrained setups. I've seen vibrant performance scan in an engine bay to build headers on the Speed Academy youtube channel. Pretty neat stuff. Could be neat to scan in an interior for roll cage design...
Nice work.
Yea, not sure you'll be able to monitor plane angles. Points may just have to be sufficient enough. It seems that you can make plots based on user derived functions of multiple points/traces, i.e.-derive some trig function to get you toe and camber angles plots with respect to time. Just need to make sure your reference origin has the principal axes aligned with the toe and camber planes.
As for my mechanism, I've got it much closer and it's probably just error now. I remeasured my links to try and be more accurate. My toe rod is 14.25, my RUCA is more like 12.3125 and my Trac rod is 8.625. Putting the RUCA at full positive on the eccentric and the toe rod eccentric slightly outboard gets me as close as it's going to get to my actual alignment.
As for the weird angle on the RUCA eccentric slot on the S14 subframe model, it's because the point on the subframe RUCA clevis where the eccentric bolt "pushes" off of is off centered like that. Makes more sense.Core4 Motorsports

So I made a small rectangular piece to sit on the knuckle where the wheel bearing would go. The idea being that I could keep it aligned with the toe and camber planes throughout the suspension movement, like you were mentioning.
I've been struggling these last few nights trying to figure out how to constrain this added piece so it does that. Have you had any luck with this? It's weird because I can't tie an edge plane of that "wheel" piece to one of the planes on the subframe mounts as it would constrain either the toe or camber depending on where I did it.
The piece in question.
I could make a "wheel" piece with a degree of freedom for each camber and toe respectively and then appropriately constrain each section of the piece. Seems like an overly complex solution though.
I did something similar, but I haven't had any luck using the simulation tools. Keeping the points you would monitor for toe and camber on that rectangular piece in their actual planes throughout the motion of the suspension is maddening.
As we know, the spindle rotates forward in conjunction to camber and toe angle movement throughout the stroke, and the rectagular piece wants to rotate with it. You would think it could be easily constrained, but there are no edges/planes on the rectangular piece that stay can stay aligned with the reference/sub frame throughout the range of motion.
I stopped trying a few weeks ago as I started wasting too much time. The tools in that program are too cumbersome (or my brain is) to get what we want. Like I said, you can probably create derived trig functions in the simulation to get what we want, but it's not worth the effort.
I think the easiest thing to do is to use a sketch with projected geometry of that piece (model a circle instead), which you know 100% will always stay in the plane you want. Then move the suspension in say 1/4" increments and manually note the changes in dimensions for camber and toe.Core4 Motorsports

Throughout time and around the world, dance has been an expression of joy, mourning, celebration or praise. Folk dances of passion, like flamenco of the Gypsies, or of grace, like the egnigmatic dance of Japan, are flourishing in South Florida. They are taught in studios, private homes and cultural centers by instructors who represent the many accents found in our diverse community. These ambassadors are teaching us to belly dance, hula and tango as a way to maintain and honor theircultural identities. Let them take us on a dancing tour of the world.
Say the word Brazil, and what immediately comes to mind is soccer, samba or Carnaval. But let's try a new concept here: capoeira.
Defining capoeira is a challenge. This art form isn't precisely a dance, because it originated among slaves training to revolt. But capoeira isn't just a martial art either, because musical instruments and African-born rhythms are very important elements of its performance.
Call it a fight-dance-acrobatics art put to music and rhythm.
Angolan slaves brought the rhythm to Brazil more than 500 years ago. They developed the dance to disguise their fighting exercises, as it appeared to be a harmless expression of their culture. Eventually outlawed, capoeira was punishable by death though it was practiced in secrecy until it was legalized in the 1930s -- about 40 years after the abolition of slavery in Brazil.
Cleber Santos, 28, teaches capoeira at International Capoeira Topazio Group in Pompano Beach, a place that is part gymnasium, part cultural center. On the right side, a punching bag hangs from the ceiling and a pressing bench and dumbbells sit in the corner. Toward the left is an array of traditional capoeira musical instruments and two enormous flags -- the Brazilian and the American -- hanging on the wall, framing the black-and-white pictures of bare-chested Cleber and brother Kadinho, also a capoeira instructor.

"Hello. My name is Dr. Suzanne Humphries. I'm a medical doctor and coauthor of a book called Dissolving Illusions. Up until 2011, I worked in the conventional medical system as an internist and nephrologist. Kidneys are fascinating and complicated organs without which your blood, bones, lungs, heart, and brain won't function normally. Because of that kidneys are really important. I want to tell you some of the things that occurred during my medical career starting near the beginning."
"On June 1st 1993, I started a residency In NY City. One month before, the NIH held an international workshop on current issues on vaccination, a topic that was nowhere on my radar. The published summaries and abstracts from the weekend in July, reveals what some of the participants were studying. Discussions of the primitive level of the science of adjuvants, of vaccines contaminants, and unexpected adverse reactions. Interference in the normal immunologic response as a result of vaccinations, shedding of revertent virulant polio viruses after vaccinations, as well as dreams of future combination vaccines and new delivery systems."
"In 1989 I had a series of Hep B vaccinations after which I was unwell for some time, but never connected the dots, because all I had been taught about vaccines was that they were the greatest contribution to public health ever."
"After the residency, I completed a nephrology specialty in Philidelphia, then became an assistant professor of medicine teaching various levels of doctors and students, and later moved on to a private practice in a large teaching hospital. I sat and listened to doctors who said things like "Paul Offit says that 10,000 vaccines can theoretically be given all at once to babies, and anti vaccine people are a threat to human survival, and aluminum is important for the growth of a healthy fetus.".... So those are my academic qualifications"
"Today in 2015, my critics find it easier to ignore my scientific degrees and CV and choose to sneer me down by saying "she is a quack homeopath". So let's clarify the issue. There is no denying that some people heal under the care of homeopathy. I did attend the school of Homeopathy in United Kingdom from 2008 to 2011 while still in full time medical practice. However, I did not complete my studies and never earned a degree. I am not, and do not wish to be a homeopath. While I loved many aspects of homeopathic theory and study, homeopathy didn't work in my hands as a practitioner in training. I have no regret in doing it during my quest to broaden my understanding of disease and healing in order to give my patients something more. I do hold a bachelor's degree in physics. I am a physicist and have used physics. I am an internist and nephrologist. And have taught medical students, residents, and fellows in training. Yet, strangely the critics zero in on something I'm not even involved in and call me a quack homeopath. I find it amusing that skeptics rarely let the truth get in the way of their delusions."
"Back to my real world as a newly trained doctor, little did I know, that what I was taught about vaccines and immunity meant that I had absolutely no idea what I was talking about, and left me blinded when confronted with the real world. And this is still the case for the majority of medical professionals today, who are at the frontlines of patient care. I knew nothing about vaccine manufacture, contents, risks or history. We had been told historical factoids, about Jonas Salk inventing one polio vaccine, and Albert Sabin the other, and that smallpox and polio were supposedly eradicated by vaccination. I certainly knew nothing about the developing immune system. After being handed the schedule of vaccines for kids during my pediatric rotations I was told to give them on time. That was the extent of my knowledge. As a nephrologist I gave hepatitis B vaccines to dialysis patients. Their immune systems don't respond very well. So we often had to give them numerous injections of high dose vaccine which is an enormous aluminum load. I gave flu shots, pneumonia shots, all per dialysis protocol. Never considering any potential problems. Nothing was linked to vaccines in my mind, until one patient in 2009, volunteered to me "I was fine until I had that flu shot". I thought "well that can't be!" but the other doctors and I could find no alternative cause."
"Until 2009 I had never once considered vaccines as a potential threat to kidney health. This was my sentinel case. A man who had normal kidneys documented by blood work prior to December, then was vaccinated in his doctors office and came to the hospital in renal shutdown 2 weeks later. He required dialysis for about 3 weeks and then was taken off dialysis but his kidney function only returned to about 70%."
"then another man came along with normal kidney function. he got an H1N1 and seasonal flu vaccine in mid December 2009 and came to the hospital about 4 weeks later with severe nephrosis, losing massive amounts of protein from his urine. His kidney filtering capacity was also down by about 20% from his former baseline. He was treated by me for 2 years with heavy hitting immunosuppressive medicines without much improvement at all."
"On discussing my cases at our practice, my colleague pulled this file from 2005 to show me. She had normal kidneys. got a flu shot in October 2005 and developed acute illness on the day of injection. She started dialysis 5 days later, underwent several dialysis treatments and then regained kidney function. But as of 2009, only had about 40% of normal kidney function."
"that question was answered when I thought back to a situation a year or so previous when I had taken care of two healthy people, who were told vaccinations were a necessary part of hospital employment. one lady was hired in the kitchen and had a severe glomerulonephritis after varicella or chicken pox vaccine. the other lady also had a severe glomerulonephritis after MMR vaccine. The MMR vaccine injured employee was still on dialysis in 2011 when I left. she was doing quite poorly after being otherwise healthy with no known medical problems. To begin with, I thought that it was an unfortunate thing, one of those 1 in a million cases we hear about. but as the numbers of patients who said to me "I was fine until I had that vaccine" increased. I got concerned. Then after the swine flu vaccine was introduced as policy upon admission at the hospital which often confused my ability to diagnose the problems they were admitted with, more questions filled my head."
"That was what I saw with my own two eyes and what my own patients were telling me. Any other time a drug was even a possibility for causing a kidney problem there was no resistance by my colleagues to stopping that drug. kidneys are so important that you never take a chance with them unless a life is in immediate jeopardy. hospital acquired acute kidney failure carries a 50% mortality rate. the answer seems simple doesn't it? don't vaccinate sick people in the hospital! knowing that I would not be able to stop the vaccines altogether in hospital patients, I simply placed a "do not vaccinate" order on my patient charts with kidney disease, whom I was consulted upon. I asked the administration to delay vaccines until discharge day. Doesn't this seem reasonable? Well, little did I know."
"In 2001, I was idealistic and naive. I thought that those involved in policymaking especially the ones whom I knew for years, would want to do what is best for patients over and above what policy dictated. How wrong I was."
"The hospital policy was to vaccinate as many patients as possible on the first hospital day. A pharmacist would go in to the patient's room. show them 1 sheet of paper from CDC with limited and biased information and offer them 2 or more vaccines. If the patient consented which most did, an order was put into the computer with the attending physicians name often before the doctor had even seen the patient and before a diagnosis had been made. and the nurse would give that vaccine. sometimes the order had my name on it, even though I had not ordered the vaccine. I was not happy."
"I decided to speak to the hospital management about what I was seeing. One day in the corridor, I bumped into the chief of medicine. He asked me how things were going. I detailed my concerns to him. According to him, I was the only doctor seeing these problems. He kept responding as if the science was settled. I got the full on historic justification. "Oh but vaccines have eradicated polio, smallpox, meningitis" as if that had any relevance to vaccinating sick adults, some of whom were on death's door in the hospital. So I put my concerns in writing. and meetings were held to discuss the issue, but I wasn't invited to those meetings. The result, I was told that acutely ill inpatients would continue to be offered vaccines on arrival at the hospital. I asked myself exactly what is the science that says that these vaccines are safe for really sick people? there must be studies on the subject, and writings in the medical literature, in order for these doctors to be so sure of the rightness of their policy. After all it's science we're talking about? Isn't it? And the science is supposed to be all settled. On the safety and effectiveness of vaccines."
"Because the hospital policies were centered on flu and pneumonia vaccines this was where my research started. I submitted a written report to the administration. In my research I found that aluminum in vaccines is a documented cause of granuloma formation something I had been familiar with for years. Aluminum is in the following vaccines; DTaP, some Hib, pneumococcal conjugate vaccines, Hep B, all combination DTap, HIB, TDaP, or hepatitis B, hepatitis A, and HPV vaccines. Aluminum and mercury given together have synergistic toxicity. My patients who received flu shots and pneumonia shots would have received both. Can patients be assured that their renal interstitial granulomatous or autoimmune illness is not due to the aluminum or the molecular mimicry from a previous vaccine? moreover I found that my patient population with acute and chronic illness had barely been tested for efficacy safety and long term consequences. so the answer is no. patients can not be assured of safety."
"some documented ill effects of vaccines upon kidneys include autoimmune kidney disease, vasculitis, TTP, aluminum mediated granulomitis issues"
"I discussed all of this evidence for over a year with the administration and with my various colleagues. Other doctors were starting to change their previously set minds, and a high number of nurses were catching on. But then, because the hospital administration could not rebut my arguments, they called upon an expert to set me straight. He never addressed any of my questions regarding acute kidney patients, or acutely ill new admissions."
"He gave me a list of studies showing that some vaccines raise antibody levels in most immunosuppressed people with HIV or kidney failure. His argument was that ipso facto for acutely ill kidney patients with sepsis, heart attacks, GBS, cancer, urinary tract obstruction, nephrosis, and so on, vaccines were also perfectly safe. His letter was quite bizarre. I kept thinking "and this is the expert? why can't he answer my specific concerns? where is his proof that side effects don't happen to my patients?" nowhere could I find studies that looked at vaccines in acutely ill patients commonly seen by nephrologists. even my pro vaccine colleagues agreed that there was no scientific basis to give these injections so quickly upon admission, and they supported my motion to have the policy changed to vaccinate on discharge day. At the same time the hospital turned up the heat on me. My progress notes and hospital charts were reviewed, which was something totally new to me. Nobody had ever before challenged my integrity of my patient care. I was then told by the administration, that in order to support my outrageous claims, i should do my own study. A chart review study. I should submit it for peer review in order to prove it. But aside from doing one's own study, where would you initially go for case histories? where I had just been. the medical literature. When I referred dozens of published case histories and expert peer reviewed opinions to the hospital administration, I was told by the consultant that case reports in minor journals mean nothing, and even in major journals case histories are just anecdotal. In his letter the expert criticized my citation of non American journals, and that of my 47 medical references 1 was from a Japanese journal. He insinuated that my argument about what I was seeing in my hospital was invalid because I searched the world's literature in order to make my point. He said that because there were no published data sets showing influenza vaccines cause kidney ailments that my suggestion to exercise caution vaccinating acutely ill patients was unwarranted"
"the executive committee of my hospital also told me that it was not appropriate for me to stop vaccination orders on my patients and that I was confusing the nursing staff. I thought "how bizarre". nurses are never used to the same treatment plan for all patients ever. my experience was not one of confusing nurses at all. but of finding other vaccination critical people on the hospital staff who agreed with me. among the nursing staff there were more allies than I would have ever imagined."
"furthermore the hospital administration argued that "evidence for benefit of vaccination is overwhelmingly positive, and evidence of harm is really quite negligible." nobody in the hospital ever addressed my specific arguments. all I got were soundbytes. "vaccines are safe and effective" "smallpox was eradicated by vaccines" "polio was eliminated by vaccines"
"after I left the hospital. This article by Duggal came out as have several others which implicate flu shots in the genesis of autoimmune and vasculitic diseases. but in 2011, I didn't have this article. Even if I had put this in front of the executive committee of the hospital, their attitude was that the science was settled. case reports mean nothing"
"Duggal's coauthor told me personally that she is now taking vaccine histories on all her renal patients. All doctors should do the same. But it's rarely done because doctors have no idea about the immunology and toxicology involved in vaccinating."
"Duggal was saying what I had seen with my own eyes and reported to the administration, that an increase in autoimmune disease activity has been described after influenza vaccination. And he recommended careful assessment of the risk to benefit ratio, which I had done, yet the hospital over rode me and my expertise. Apparently, once a policy is established professional opinion doesn't matter"
"let's look at the cases Duggal described. the last 2 cases here are his, and the other ones are from the medical literature. there are patients with vasculitis involving the brain, lungs, kidneys, intestines, within weeks of vaccination, some of whom develop new diseases, and some whom simply relapse. patients with vasculitis and underlying autoimmunity are not informed of the known risk to them in vaccinating. Instead they are persuaded and reassured that the benefit outweighs the supposedly small risk and usually believe that the doctor knows best. note the pattern here though. kidney failure 2-4 weeks after injection requiring highly toxic drugs to treat these vasculitities. these were things I was seeing happen to some of my patients after vaccination in the past, and today I get messages from parents all over the world telling me how their child's kidneys became diseased after vaccines. and just last month I got a note from a woman whose spouse with kidney disease who was very stable died at home 1 day after receiving 2 vaccines. she was extremely distressed and I had no comforting words for her."
"since leaving the hospital in 2011, more literature has been published besides Duggal, that supports my hypothesis and my experience that common and difficult to treat kidney diseases can be caused and worsened by vaccine ingredients. this 2011, NEJM article titled "Early-Childhood Membranous Nephropathy Due to Cationic Bovine Serum Albumin" details the association between circulating Cationic Bovine Serum Albumin and a very difficult to treat form of kidney disease called idiopathic membranous nephropathy. membranous nephropathy is a serious condition of the kidney filters in pediatrics and is more common in adults. long term prognosis is unknowable for certain but approximately 50% of patients develop progressive kidney disease."
"The authors must be aware that they hit upon a very touchy subject since they implicate immunization in the body of the article, but conclude by simply saying "if Bovine Serum Albumin is detected in kidney biopsy specimens, eliminating it from the diet could be beneficial" what the authors don't say is that eliminating direct injection of Bovine Serum Albumin at the same time as injecting aluminum adjuvant may be beneficial in preventing the susceptible child or adult from developing this type of kidney disease."
"the following list of BSA containing vaccines could possibly be very problematic to some people. BSA is used to feed the live animal or human cells that propagate the virus or bacteria during vaccine culture production. the implications of this article are enormous in terms of potential adverse response to vaccines that contain BSA but also to aluminum, viral and bacterial antigens. How much adult or childhood nephrotic syndrome is caused by vaccine ingredients? The issue isn't addressed in the medical literature. what clinicians see doesn't necessarily count. how many of these vaccines are given at the same time? often 8 vaccines are given at once to children at 1 year of age, most of which contain BSA and aluminum which is added to enhance the inflammatory properties of the vaccine to the vaccine antigens."
"here are the aluminum containing ones. the asterisk* at the bottom indicates overlap of BSA and aluminum."
"there is plenty of writing in the medical literature about how one size fits all vaccine programs give variable results in healthy people and they can trigger serious inflammation and autoimmunity. there is more reason in my opinion to believe vaccines are not only dangerous but also less effective in sick people. for instance, one day, when I was on rounds, I went in to check on someone who was having plasmapheresis. which is a procedure designed to remove antibodies from the blood. he had kidney failure. when I saw that he had just received an influenza vaccine I was astounded. i said to my colleagues and the referring physician who was with me "can you see the problem with this?". everyone found somewhere else to look. around the same time I went in to see a 27 yr old young man with lymphoma and acute kidney failure who was in the middle of a chemotherapy infusion and in front of him was the pink CDC information sheet for the flu shot and Pneumococcal vaccine which he had just consented to. I said to him "have they given the vaccine to you yet?" he said "No". I immediately cancelled the vaccination order. These 2 incidents typify the events which were occurring at the time and were the clinical issues that set me on today's divergent path. if someone had just used logic and agreed with me that you don't vaccinate critically ill patients, and accepted the evidence in front of their own eyes, that the vaccines were causing problems, then maybe I would still be at the hospital today"
"When you've walked away from people you really care about and a job you've loved, it's only natural that you would review the situation and ask questions like "could I have found more information which would have stopped very sick people from being vaccinated shortly after being wheeled into the hospital?" I started thinking back to things that are crucial in nephrology, like water."
"In every dialysis unit, there is one person employed whose main job is water maintenance. He came in earliest every day to make sure the dialysis water didn't have anything toxic, including aluminum, in it. The tanks were cleaned out frequently, and the water was kept very pure. Why?"
"Because aluminum is known to be dangerous to patients on dialysis. Why? Because the gut excretes most orally ingested aluminum, but the moment you bypass the gut, with aluminum injections, aluminum causes big problems in kidney patients. in the past the water used for dialysis contained enough aluminum to cause problems. we used to in some cases still do use oral medicines in dialysis patients that contain aluminum. even though aluminum via the gut is safer, we don't like doing it. a person with good kidneys can get rid of most absorbed aluminum but our kidney patients can't. however if the phosphate levels threaten a dialysis patient's health oral aluminum will bind and excrete it but the patient may retain some of that aluminum because of compromised kidney function. so here we were taking all of the aluminum out of the water and shifting away from aluminum containing phosphate binders as much as we could but we were willing to inject these people with aluminum containing vaccines. for instance 2 rounds of Hep B injections, which may not even have a protective effect, will have 3000 micrograms of aluminum in it."
"what are some of the problems known to be caused by injected aluminum? aluminum is a neurotoxin that inhibits more than 200 biologically important functions. and causes various adverse effects in plants, animals, and humans. all those years I knew what a great binder aluminum was for phosphate in the gut but I never thought that it could be a problem for the major energy molecule in the body called ATP, but it is. we know this as nephrologists, but somehow it's considered impossible for aluminum in vaccines to be able to do anything other than stimulate the immune system. we're very careful as nephrologists when treating babies. why? because the kidney function isn't the same as adults, it's vastly reduced. but when it comes to vaccines this reduced kidney function of infants is always left out of the discussion"
"have a look at the range of normal kidney function in term babies. it's even lower for premature babies."
"I wonder where she thought it went. I was stunned. I asked Dr. Movsas if she was concerned that the aluminum was not excreted and blood levels did not rise. Obviously the aluminum was retained in tissues. Her reply was "so we don't really know what happens to the aluminum at this point in time. as you said, more research is needed in this area" she was aware that there is a problem because she referred me to Khan's 2013 article that demonstrated tissue and brain delivery of intramuscularly injected aluminum. aluminum is also injected into many babies on the day of birth in the hep b vaccines. that's 250 micrograms of aluminum, at a time when kidney function is even lower than it is at 2 months. as nephrologists, we have to study the immune system because the kidney is part of the immune system. we also deal with kidney transplants and therefore have to have a very good clinical grasp of the immune system maintenance, as well as suppression, in order to keep the transplant from rejecting"
"What I was finding out about the immune system and injected aluminum went way beyond what I understood as a nephrologist. In today's talk I'm only able to show you a very short list of aluminum's many known disruptions to life. Please see my short video titled "aluminum is toxic to all life forms" for a further description"
"the question that arose fairly early for me was, Why do doctors know next to nothing about what aluminum does inside the body? What other misinformation and gaping holes in knowledge do doctors have? And had anyone ever written about the problems with vaccination?? Was I trailblazing or were there physicians who had gone before me and had endured similar resistance? I was treated by the hospital administration as an outlier with radical and unwanted views."
"to my astonishment, close scrutiny of medical and vaccine history showed plenty of other outliers, not just Semmelweis and Oliver Wendell Holmes of puerperal fever infamy. when it comes to vaccine issues it's useful to know about the following whistleblowers."
"the first outlier on my list is Sir Graham Wilson who wrote a book called The Hazards of Immunization. in 1967. Of course I never knew of this book in my conventional years. Sir Graham Wilson was not a nobody nor was he considered a quack. Though he does say that he was once totally ignorant. The book was a revelation not just because of its content, but because of the fact that Sir Wilson was only able to write the book because of contributions from people that he mentions in the preface and in the introduction. First he talks about how the anti vaccinationist he heard of were highly emotional and irrational people"
"But then, he learned of an opposition that had sprung up amongst scientific workers, who were moved by factual evidence."
"He thanks a former director from Welcome Pharmaceutical labs, Dr. R. A. O'Brien who had amassed records of various vaccine disasters which he felt unable to cope with and handed them over to Sir Graham, who said that it was doubtful whether the book would have been possible without those records. He mentions other people who helped him dig out long overlooked journals that were not obtainable elsewhere. This is what Roman and I had to do in order to write our book."
"According to Sir Graham Wilson, there were many more reports of injury and death in soldiers from vaccines than any of us known about because they are not mentioned in the medical literature but remained hidden in the records of vaccine manufacturers."
"about the same time as Sir Graham was writing his book, a doctor by the name of Joseph Anthony Morris who worked for the Division of Biological Standards in Maryland was involved in an internal struggle which would later become the subject of a published senate inquiry. this quote can be seen on the internet but how many people know about Dr. Morris who was undoubtedly one of the most important whistleblowers ever to have worked at the FDA. His work has considerable historic and medical significance."
"Dr. Isacson also noted on page 349 of the public record that physicians and scientists have a very marked discipline conceit and seem to think they can make all sorts of judgements on anything that is beyond their training. and before someone accuses me of doing the same, my comments today are based on years of real education so that now I have what I talk about in my hand in black and white."
"the only reason we know about the vaccine issues in the congressional hearing in 1972, is because Dr. Toni Morris who was about to be kicked out of the DBS for insisting that scientific principles and methods regarding vaccines be adhered to, decided to go public. According to sworn public testimony given in S 3419, memos were quietly exchanged inside the bureaucracy over dangerous vaccines and ineffective drugs. yet nothing was done to protect the public. the senate record also included statements from other harassed DBS scientists who had less courage than Dr. Morris but were still prepared to give evidence to the senate. DBS tried but failed to fire Dr. Morris after legal challenge. As a result of the senate hearing, the DBS was remodeled into what we know today as the FDA. And Dr. Morris was transferred there. Unfortunately that change was just a cosmetic face lift. If you read the news today about whistleblowers from Merck and from CDC, you can see that nothing has really changed."
"If you would like to listen to some videos of Dr. Morris from after he retired at the FDA, go here"
"After his transfer to the FDA influenza was still Dr. Morriss' specialty. In February 1976, in Fort Dix NJ, a swine flu strain was found in a soldier who died during a march. Dr. Morris was asked to help with the investigation at the same time that there was a manufactured scare over the possibility of another 1918 flu pandemic striking. But Dr. Morris found that the virus the soldier died with was just an ordinary pig virus, not a pandemic virus. It rarely infected from person to person. He also found in prior years that the 1918 flu was caused by PR8 another strain of influenza that was discovered in Puerto Rico may years before. The vaccine that was created for swine flu was a hybrid between PR8 and swine flu. Why? Because they couldn't make a vaccine with that swine flu strain because it grew too slowly. So the slow growing swine flu strain was hybridized with PR8, which meant the swine flu vaccine virus took on the fast growing properties of the dangerous 1918 virus, and the viral antigen used in the swine flu vaccine wasn't the ordinary pig strain from the soldier but a fast growing hybrid. It turned out that the vaccine was both ineffective and unsafe. Again, his bosses wouldn't listen to him and told him to shut up. So he went on the Phil Donahue show and gave public lectures, stating his findings. 40 million people were vaccinated. The injuries Dr. Morris predicted were a sad reality. Hundreds were reported to be paralyzed and dozens died. GBS was a reality from the flu vaccines. The father of infectious disease, epidemiology, Dr. Alexander Langmier confirmed that causation. By 1982 there were 1571 lawsuits filed just for swine flu vaccine victims. This fiasco cost the government untold millions. The one thing they couldn't say was that Dr. Morris didn't try to warn anyone. The swine flu program was stopped but not before 46 million doses of that vaccine were sold to the public."
"How people responded depended on their agendas. the organized crime underworld took Dr. Morris very seriously and saw an opportunity to change the power base of the mafia. Infamous mob boss Carlo Gambino took a flu shot just before he died. Apparently someone from a rival mob heard one of Dr. Morriss' lectures on the side effects, knowing that Gambino had a heart problem, and having heard that the shot was dangerous for such people, a Gambino insider was persuaded to convince Gambino to take the swine flu shot, which is widely believed to have pushed him into his grave. Make of that what you want. Many pro vaccine people today consider the 1975 swine flu vaccine incident to be much ado about nothing, however if you talk to older adults who lived in the cities where that vaccine was widely administered. You'll see that most of those people know of, or have a family member that was affected by that vaccine."
"The third outlier whistleblower you should know about is Dr. Bernice Eddy, also mentioned in the senate hearing about Dr. Morris. Dr. Eddy and Dr. Morris worked on the same floor of the NIH and were colleagues and friends. You may have heard of her work in discovering problems with the Salk polio vaccine, but did you ever hear about the early adenovirus vaccines?"
"At her memorial service, Dr. Morris said, "one of our shared interests was the fact that adenovirus vaccines were capable of producing tumors in animals. pursuit of this work did not receive enthusiastic support from the NIH administrators. every obstacle placed in the path of this work, was for Dr. Eddy an obstacle to be overcome....The result was the discontinuance of the use of adenovirus vaccines in children"
"Dr. Eddy was the first to notice that Salk's polio vaccine after mass manufacture was paralyzing monkeys. Her report was ignored. And the result of that was the infamous and misnamed Cutter incident. But the story of the cancer virus is even more shocking. Because their kidneys turned out to be a convenient source of cells for growth and amplification of polio virus, rhesus monkeys were imported to the U.S. by the millions for slaughter and experimentation through the 1950's and the 1960's. Dr. Eddy noticed that monkey kidney cell cultures would often degenerate spontaneously even when kept under the most favorable conditions for cell survival. She suspected an unknown virus. In 1959 she skimmed cell free liquid from the surface of monkey kidney cell cultures and injected that into newborn hamsters. less than 4 months later the majority, 70% of them, developed tumors. the experiment was repeated in generations of hamsters with the same results. administrative clearance for publication of this important 1959 finding was not granted until scientists at Merck had recovered previously undetected virus in monkey kidney cell lines they were using to make polio vaccine. samples of this virus were given to Dr. Eddy who injected them into newborn hamsters and obtained identical results to those she had obtained in cell free extracts 3 years earlier. SHe found that the virus induced sarcomas in hamsters, not only at the subcutaneous injection site of viral inoculation but also at a distance, in the lungs and in the kidneys. When people think of polio vaccines in the 1950's they think of the hero Dr. Salk and the miraculous vaccine, because the media made sure that that was how history would remember it. But from 1959 through 1961 government health officials were frantically seeking means to remove a tumor inducing factor from polio vaccines. At the same time these health officials were also vigorously conducting a campaign to inject contaminated polio vaccines into millions of people without telling them it contained a tumor inducing factor. That factor has been referred to today by one of the world's leading virologists as the perfect war machine. The division of biologic standards used very similar silencing and intimidation tactics on Dr. Eddy as they did on Dr. Morris. Her laboratory was downsized and her staff was removed. She had to develop innovative and time saving ways of completing her work. So she too was shut down for her findings instead of rewarded for potentially saving many innocent people from being injected with cancer viruses."
"Why is Dr. Eddy important to me? That monkey virus was called SV40 and today you can read in medical journals about the tumors and kidney diseases that have been associated with that cancer inducing virus. SV40 is something that all nephrologists should know about but for some reason they don't. SV40 is found in both healthy and sick people of all ages today, but people with a specific type of disease called FSGS which is very difficult to treat, are more likely to have SV40 in their kidneys. Ask any nephrologist about the toxic drugs used to treat FSGS and what the cure rate is and how frustrating it is for doctors and patients alike. It is documented widely in medical literature that this kidney trophic virus came from polio vaccines in the 1950's and 1960's and since then has been documented to circulate in the human population. humans can pass it to each other and we can also pass it to our children before birth. nephrologists today don't know much about SV40 because they are interested more in two related polioma viruses called BK and JC which become active in people given a transplant who have their immune system suppressed. The possible role of SV40 in FSGS just doesn't come on their rader, but FSGS is a leading cause of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome and most people with the disease eventually require dialysis. FSGS as a percent of the underlying disease among dialysis patients has increased 11 fold from 0.2% in 1980 to 2.3% in 2000."
"To give you a visual of what FSGS is, look at these images. A single kidney contains around 1 million nephrons and each nephron has a filter. The circular images shown here are filters, they are spherically shaped. What you're looking at are stained cross section images from human kidneys. The first one is normal The second and third ones show FSGS problems which are obvious even to the untrained eye. The filters are not functioning properly and proteins that should remain in the body leak out into the urine instead. Because of that FSGS is associated with several other derangements in the body like high blood pressure, edema and lipid alterations. While SV40 virus is found in both healthy and sick people, It is known that a certain antigen from SV40 virus results in FSGS in experimental mice. We also know that human kidney is a reservoir of more than one strain of SV40 virus. And that people with kidney disease tend to have higher rates of SV40 viral shedding"
"research in animals and humans shows that SV40 can initiate kidney injury and can also render kidney susceptible to injury. most people recover clinically after drug insults, but how many patients are susceptible to drug induced kidney damage because they harbor variants of SV40 in the kidney. SV40 is also thought to reactivate as a result of kidney inflammation and with kidney injury from various toxins. this is an area of research that is largely untouched."
"medical articles state that SV40 virus was in vaccines only up until 1963, but Rizzo in 1999 showed that with better testing SV40 could have been detected in seed stock for vaccine manufacture long after 1963."
"FSGS as we have just seen is a serious potential consequence of SV40 but equally troubling is the potential for malignant kidney transformation in those who harbor SV40. malignant transformation of normal cells infected with SV40 is a proven reality. Enders and Shein published in 1960's that SV40 virus causes pathology and transforms human kidney cells in culture. that means that it causes disease and cancer in those cells . and Dr. Eddy showed that hamsters injected with SV40 developed kidney tumors. after 1964 the medical literature is devoid of SV40 kidney cancer research. but kidney cancers rose significantly after 1964."
"look at this astonishing increase in incidents of kidney cancer in the UK. similar trends are documented in Europe, Canada, and the USA. you may be saying correlation doesn't equal causation. certainly other cofactors may exist, but the research of Dr. Eddy and the finding the SV40 transforms human kidney cells is compelling."
"causation was considered by Mortimer et. al in 1981 in a NEJM article which summarized the results of the largest cohort of SV40 exposed children. over 1000 of those children were followed. they had actually traced 87% of that population, of those children, in 1981. Mortimer's concluding sentence says that because of mounting complexities and obstacles in tracing the subjects, cancer surveillance was terminated when they were teenagers. according to Dr. Morris that would not have been a time to stop this study, but really to start it. have vaccines anything to do with this trend we see as nephrologists? because I can tell you nephrologists and urologists have never been so busy and business has never been so good as it is today."
"if you want to know why there are so many gaps in knowledge over SV40 and cancers, like kidney cancer, ask Drs. Key and Carbone. According to them and others, the controversy over the implications of SV40 damage has paralyzed the scientific research. Drs Key and Carbone also said that SV40 was in Italy's polio vaccine supply up until 1999. "
"Dr. Carbone expressed his thoughts about the suppression of his findings over SV40 and tumors in an interview. Unfortunately as Dr. Eddy and Morris would tell you if they were here you certainly can be punished for talking science"
"especially if it might make the public less willing to have blind faith in the safety of all vaccine programs"
"let's look at another concern of mine. in order to make enough flu vaccine to vaccinate the world and do it quickly, a new way of making flu vaccines had to be developed. making them on chick embryos, which is the old way, is too slow and time consuming. so the new solution is cocker spaniel kidney cells which were first cultured in 1958 by Madin and Darby. those same cells have become mysteriously immortalized. more recently a sanitized term has been used, continuous cell lines. these cells are now deemed safe for human vaccine production."
"another area that bothered me was why do my patients not show the same side effects as each other? why do vaccines seem to be tolerated by some people and for others it can be devastating. why do some adverse effects happen immediately and others taken weeks or months to fully appear ?"
"this bothered me greatly because the vaccine program is a one size fits all operation. the hospital gave vaccines routinely, no matter what, to anyone who consented"
"however in my research I came across a very interesting study which opened my eyes to the fact that individual uniqueness has been totally left out of the vaccine effect equation. In 2013, Dr. Orntoft, published research detailing the genetic network changes in white blood cells before and then 6 weeks after DTP booster vaccination in 8 different girls. here's a list of the top networks altered after the vaccine and they are listed according to their significance. the reason this study was undertaken was that DTP shots in African studies have increased the short term death rate in vaccinees. you can probably appreciate that there is a big difference in the array of changes between these girls and why one size fits all vaccination programs can not be acceptable across the board. what this study proves, is that after a vaccine you're not just going to get a fever, DTP immunity, and a sore arm, because different genes are activated in different people. and remember these are just the genes measured in some white blood cells and not in the whole body."
"looking at a more clear slide, this is a partial list of the top genetic networks that are altered in the 8 girls after vaccination with those DPT shots."
"this is another study showing how many undesirable gene networks can become active after vaccination. this was a human study where 5 infants got the usual first 2 sets of vaccines at 3 and 5 months. then they had their blood drawn at 6 months. those blood cells were restimulated with pertussis toxin which is a component in the DTP vaccines. the following results were notes, allergy, asthma, cancer, and immunological disease genes were upregulated."
"Dr. Kimman corroborates Poland, White, Orntoft, and others who states that the immune response is highly complicated and variable from person to person."
"Kimman speaks to the likelihood that vaccine nonresponders are also those who are more likely to be susceptible to worst form of disease. what this means in practice is that healthy children who do respond to vaccines are the ones who would have had a good prognosis and would have recovered uneventfully."
"Poland's research can determine the genetics involved in both vaccine antibody response but he cannot mention the implication of that. which is that the majority of parents are vaccinating their healthy children for diseases they would have easily recovered from with no complications. nor can he tell parents that the children who do not respond well to the vaccine are the ones who will have the worst time with the disease. individual variation is very clearly seen in kidney patients because their immune systems are much more fragile than healthy people. as nephrologists we often end up giving dialysis patients numerous high dose hep b vaccines. many of our patients don't develop antibodies because their immune system don't work properly. some of those dialysis patients got really annoyed when the antibody test showed no response because then they're given so many injections, yet we can't even guarantee that these patients with no antibodies won't get the disease after they're vaccinated numerous times."
"did vaccines contribute to my patients temporally related issues because different genes got upregulated or down regulated just like the children who are vaccinated? do we have any studies to show that over a period of days, weeks, or months this is not a risk? No. But we do have genetic studies and clinical case reports that show it is possible. I believe the kind of study Orntoft did on the children should also be done on healthy people to see whether routine vaccines are a trigger for acute kidney disease and on kidney patients as well. I believe that clinicians should have access to such testing because patients deserve better care and better answers when policy results in unintended consequences for them."
"There is absolutely no doubt that vaccines are big business"

Darian Durant and the Saskatchewan Roughriders should eventually reach a compromise
The gut feeling, emanating from a not-inconsiderable midsection, is that quarterback Darian Durant will eventually sign an extended contract with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Slightly less than three months remain until Durant can test the CFL's free-agency market. Until mid-February, neither Durant nor the Roughriders are likely to submit a bottom-line figure during heretofore futile contract negotiations.
Earlier this month, Durant informed the media that talks were "pretty much at a standstill." A few days later, Roughriders head coach, general manager and vice-president of football operations Chris Jones set off some alarm bells with his response to a Durant-related question posed by this scribbler.
"He's a life-long Rider," Jones responded. "When you strictly look at Darian's win-loss record, he's been moderately successful. He's won the one Grey Cup. He's certainly a guy you can put out there if you surround him with great players that can lead you. Again, we want to try to secure him if we can, but we're going to make the right business decision."
The words "moderately successful" have incited quite a discussion since they first appeared in this space a week ago.
After all, Durant has guided the Roughriders to three Grey Cup appearances, including a home-field championship-game victory in 2013. He trails only Ron Lancaster, and is ahead of Kent Austin, in most of Saskatchewan's meaningful career passing categories.
Yes, Durant's record as the Roughriders' starter is an unremarkable 58-54-1, but the numbers can also be manipulated in his favour.
For a span of a season and a half, beginning with the 2013 opener, Saskatchewan was 21-9-0 with Durant behind centre. The Roughriders won eight of their first 10 games in 2014, but the bottom fell out after he suffered a torn tendon in his right elbow. He then missed most of the 2015 campaign with a ruptured left Achilles tendon.
Durant was hardly to blame for the Roughriders' 1-10-0 start to the 2016 campaign. He was the quarterback of record in nine of those games — all of which were defeats — but injuries along the offensive line and a series of woeful defensive performances were the primary reasons for the sickly start.
As in 2011, the Roughriders of 2016 finished at 5-13-0. There is another parallel, in that Durant's supporting cast was not formidable in either season.
With that in mind, let's revisit a portion of the aforementioned quote from Jones: "He's certainly a guy you can put out there if you surround him with great players that can lead you."
After a miserable 2011 season, some dissatisfied customers pointed the finger of blame at Durant. The anger was misdirected. The real problem was the mediocrity that surrounded him.
In 2012, then-Roughriders general manager Brendan Taman improved the offensive line (see: Brendon LaBatte, Dominic Picard, Xavier Fulton, Ben Heenan) while adding a game-breaking tailback (Kory Sheets) and a future 1,000-yard receiver (Taj Smith).
The following season, the Roughriders added future Hall of Fame receiver Geroy Simon and welcomed back pass-catcher Rob Bagg, who made a successful return to the lineup after overcoming a series of knee injuries.
As the array of weapons improved, so did Durant's numbers — which in 2013 were the best of his career.
Fast forward to 2016. Playing behind an injury-depleted offensive line, Durant was sacked a league-high 41 times. Injuries created a revolving door at tailback and in the receiving corps.
Even so, Durant had a solid season. Imagine what he could accomplish with a rock-solid offensive line, a consistent running game and a healthy quintet of receivers.
Now the question is: Will such a scenario materialize?
Both sides appear to be resolute in their positions. Durant is willing to accept a pay reduction, as he did leading up to the 2016 campaign, but there is a limit. Jones, for his part, would prefer a deal that includes more incentives.
"Basically, you have a certain amount of guaranteed money and then you have a certain amount of money that you have to play for — that you have to actually be on the field to make," Jones said last week.
Durant's 2016 contract, as reported by 3downnation.com's Justin Dunk, resulted in a total remuneration of $444,432. Dunk wrote that the numbers broke down as follows: $250,000 (signing bonus), $105,000 (base salary), $30,000 (housing), $40,000 (four $10,000 active-roster bonuses) and $19,432 (14 playing-time bonuses of $1,388, based upon games in which he was behind centre for at least 51 per cent of the offensive plays).
CKRM's Rod Pedersen has reported that Durant is amenable to a reduction that would put him in the $350,000 range. Evidently, that figure is still too high for the Roughriders' liking.
So we wait … and wait … and wait … most likely until February.
The suspicion here is that there will be a time when the two sides, which need one another, meet somewhere in the middle. Until then, there will be posturing and attempts to win the public-relations battle.
When it comes to high-stakes, high-profile negotiations, it's all part of the game.

Lately Richard has been neglecting me and has been too involved in his work and other grrls, so with a lonely heart I set out and tried out a new photographer. The results of this collaboration we're pretty amazing. Nothing beats my one true love Richard Avery, king of my universe, but Se7en of Haus of Se7en takes some really sick photos. His work is an edgy style mixed with para noir, avant garde and a little metal. When you throw me into the mix, lets just say there's a new evol monster in town.
If you'd like to see more photos of me and other sexy grrls you can see them at hausofse7en.com the official website, twitter @hausofse7en, or housofse7en.tumblr.com.

Take charge with energizing mindset changes/disruptive insight with great results. Tailored colorful stories and actionable tips for all event professionals.
As Aristotle famously said, we are what we do repeatedly. Success and happiness are largely the results of practicing good habits. The most important habits are keystone habits; habits which have positive cascading effects throughout your life.
When you notice a trait or habit you dislike in other people, ask yourself if you have that trait/habit as well. Focusing in on other people's flaws is usually thought of as a bad habit, but it can be a great self-improvement tool if you use it as an opportunity for introspection. Learn to ask yourself, Do I do that too?
Major Takeaway Actions from Presentation
Examples of Good Habits, Daily Hacks including:
- Stop self-sabotaging behavior
- Consistent/better communication with your staff, your business pipeline
- Targeting your existing clients and connections

When she set out to create the online clothing retailer DapperGirl, Molly Barrett drew from her own experience, and the difficulty she encountered finding clothes that fit. But "fit" wasn't just about the physical aspect -- Barrett wanted her clothes to encapsulate her style, personality and who she was -- inside and out. "I saw a need," Barrett says of her own search for more gender-versatile clothing. "I was looking for clothes that present as masculine and fit women well."
And so DapperGirl was born, and this Saturday, May 5, the site will officially launch with a full range of suits, vests, blazers, button-ups and more. Offering what Barrett calls the "quintessential power presentation, but for women," DapperGirl will carry masculine styles with feminine detailing on cuffs and collars, along with fits and sizes made for women's bodies.
"For me personally -- and I think this is something true for a lot of lesbians -- as I started coming out, I found that my fashion has changed a lot," Barrett says. With that in mind, she built DapperGirl's collection with an eye to making it a place where she herself would shop.
Though certainly not the first apparel retailer of its kind, Barrett believes that DapperGirl has zeroed in a clientele that has been neglected. "There are some lesbian-owned and -operated sites that sell apparel, but it's primarily specialized -- like bow ties and tailored suits," she explains. While Barrett thinks these sites are beneficial to the community she's serving, she says she still sees an opening for a head-to-toe retailer that is reasonably priced.

Barrett hand-picks the items sold on DapperGirl from overseas designers, but as the business grows, she wants to base future inventory on customer feedback. Logos are minimal or non-existent on the pieces, since she thinks its not important for DapperGirl to be a brand unto itself -- instead, it's designed to be a resource for women who want to find great clothes.
Barrett herself is a walking billboard; the keenly dressed owner of DapperGirl sees every public outing as an opportunity to tell others about the retail site. And she's an excellent advertisement.
